The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Construction site No. 46~48, Shanlin Road.

Lin Zhichao and Huang Changhong came to inspect the construction site. During the two months since the construction started, Lin Zhichao would come almost every two days. It was called inspecting the construction site, but in fact he was learning from his teacher.

Nowadays, Lin Zhichao has a very good understanding of the construction process, property quality, construction costs, etc. If he says that he has been in the industry for a year or two, some people will believe him. Lin Zhichao also knows all the expenses related to construction, such as concrete, piling, nail boards, scaffolding, etc.

"Board Sun, have a cigarette!"

Upon arriving at the construction site, Lin Zhichao directly handed two packs of Lucky cigarettes to the contractor at the construction site. He doesn't smoke, so he just smokes.

When Supervisor Sun saw Lin Zhichao, he happily took the cigarette and said, "Boss Lin, you spend money every time you come here."

Lin Zhichao patted Supervisor Sun on the shoulder and said intimately: "You are working for me. I won't pay you wages, so you have to give me something to please these people."

Manager Sun immediately said: "Don't worry, Boss Lin, I promise to complete it on time and with quality."

Lin Zhichao looked confident and said, "I'm sure everyone can rest assured that with Supervisor Sun leading us, this team must be full of masters."

He didn't mention anything about asking for advice, but he was not polite at all when he asked about it. Director Sun got the benefit, and since Lin Zhichao was the boss, he had no reservations.

In fact, the projects of this era are not very complicated, and Lin Zhichao feels that he can even contract the project. Of course, during this period of time, Changjiang Real Estate still does not plan to enter the construction field.

However, in order to save money, for the next project - No. 126, Modu Street, Changjiang Real Estate plans to hire a contractor and negotiate the price with the building materials itself. Instead of being handed over to the construction company in the form of general contracting, the engineering department of Changjiang Real Estate will direct the project and control the construction costs.

This should save a lot. These five-storey tenement buildings will be re-expropriated and used to build high-rise buildings within 20 years at most.

Return to Yangtze Real Estate.

After clearing away the dust on his body, Hu Zhaoxu walked in.

"Boss, the old Towngas factory land in Ferry Street, Yau Ma Tei, totaling 33,000 square feet, they are interested in selling, and the asking price is HK$550,000."

Lin Zhichao heard this and fell into thinking. In recent times, the prices of old buildings have skyrocketed, and the profit from rebuilding after purchase is no longer high. It happened that that day, when Lin Zhichao was inspecting the land in Modu Street, he saw a piece of land in Ferry Street, Yau Ma Tei. Made an idea.

Because it is industrial land, the price is cheaper. For some real estate companies, they would never think of buying this piece of land and converting it into residential land. After all, the level of real estate companies in this era is very limited.

But for Lin Zhichao, it is an opportunity. The cost of converting it into residential land may be much cheaper than purchasing the same residential land.

At the same time, even if the property change of this land does not go smoothly, Lin Zhichao will not lose money if he uses it to build an industrial factory.

"Okay, I'll go ask the Land Office first to see what the price is and if it can be changed, and then we'll start before it's too late!"

Hu Zhaoxu had to admire his boss's unconstrained ideas. He was extremely shrewd in the real estate business.

"There should be no problem. The government is now encouraging capital to build houses and improve the situation of insufficient housing. It is relatively relaxed in all aspects."

"Well, it's better to be sure. Anyway, China Gas can't be sold except for us."

After Hu Zhaoxu left, Lin Zhichao quickly drew a sketch on the paper. The Ferry Street land could build 20 to 22 tenement buildings, which was another major project of 100 floors.

In Hong Kong, this is a major project that only Cheung Kong Properties dares to undertake.

At this time, almost two months have passed since Yangtze Real Estate sold off-plan properties and strata sales, but Hong Kong real estate companies still cannot react; according to Lin Zhichao's idea, it is estimated that it will take a year or two before these methods will really become popular in Hong Kong. .

At that time, it is time to usher in the downward trend of real estate.

With this round of real estate boom in Hong Kong, unit prices are expected to reach HK$25-35 per square foot.

Saturday, June 28th, should open.

A factory building in Western District has quietly put up the signboard of ‘Cheung Kong Industries’. This is a factory that produces zippers and currently has only three formal employees.

So on the day of the opening, Lin Zhichao didn't invite anyone. After all, he hadn't even revealed his horoscope yet, and it would be a joke if he messed up.

"Master Bao, what materials are needed for this hand-made zipper? What equipment is needed?" Lin Zhichao asked.

At this time, Li Gaofu found three technicians in Hong Kong who were able to produce zippers by hand. Lin Zhichao could only temporarily understand this industry through them.

Master Bao is a 40-year-old man who is actually from Shanghai and has even opened a zipper workshop. It turned out that he originally planned to settle in Hong Kong and return to work.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Hong Kong, the rent was horribly expensive, and I was defrauded of a lot of money, so I was suddenly reduced to a migrant worker. In order for Master Bao to join Cheung Kong Holdings, Li Gaofu offered a high salary of 200 yuan per month, which was the same as his salary.

Lin Zhichao would not have any objection. Master Bao alone is more powerful than 20 technicians.

"Boss, the zipper is made of copper, but it is said that RB and Europe and the United States have already adopted aluminum alloy. As for tools, you need tweezers, a hammer, a vise, and a rice punch."

Lin Zhichao's egg hurts to hear that they are all simple tools. No wonder the quality of handmade zippers is not good and the production efficiency is low.

As far as he knows, the efficiency of the automatic zipper machine (automatic rice row machine) is 100 times that of manual labor, and the improved machine can reach more than 200 times.

But he doesn't understand anything now, so he still wants to start from the simple.

"Master Bao, I have appointed you as the factory director. You will be fully responsible for the preparation of the zipper factory. If you need money, give money and people. I know that you have been a boss and must have rich experience. As long as you prepare for me and train me, Send out some skilled workers, and if you open a factory in the future, not only will I not stop you, but I will also lend you money."

Bao Chunlai immediately said quickly: "Boss, don't worry, I promise to work hard with you!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and waved his hand and said: "Master Bao, don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who plays tricks. I just told the truth. There is only one thing. You have to keep your skills here."

Bao Chunlai said excitedly at this time: "Okay, boss, don't worry, since you said so, I will produce it as soon as possible and train skilled workers for you." In fact, he also knew that as long as he made some money, he would open a zipper again The workshop, after all, is used to being the boss, how can it give people part-time jobs.

What's more, the investment in zipper workshops is not large.

Li Gaofu on the side laughed in his heart, Bao Chunlai's thoughts on feelings had been seen through by the boss. And this Bao Chunlai didn't know that the boss was plotting against him.

Because he heard from his boss that as soon as the handicraft workshop opens, he will immediately go to Europe and the United States to buy an automatic zipper machine. By then, the machine can be a hundred times faster than the handmade machine and the quality will be better.

Just ask, with that machine, it is necessary for your manual factory to exist, and the price and quality are far behind.

"Brother Gao Fu, you are the deputy general manager of this factory, assisting Master Bao to complete the production. After all, he is not familiar with the environment in Hong Kong."

"Okay, boss!"

Li Gaofu agreed without hesitation. In his opinion, the deputy prime minister was already Gao Sheng; what's more, if Master Bao wanted to resign, he would be the general manager.

At the same time, he also told himself that he must be serious about learning zipper knowledge at Master Bao.

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then thought that Bao Chunlai asked a lot of questions, and he was also stealing a lesson. But he felt that Bao Chunlai didn't have much ability.

On the contrary, when the automatic zipper machine is introduced, it is the real learning.
