I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

In 1920, some small-scale industries appeared in Shau Kei Wan, which was the beginning of Shau Kei Wan becoming an industrial zone, and it has developed to a certain scale so far.

Shau ​​Kei Wan is a gathering place for light industry. There is another reason for Wu Guangyao to choose this place. Starting from next year, many refugees will come here one after another.

So much cheap labor is just for their own use; these refugees have found jobs again, isn't it a win-win cooperation!

It turned out that Wu Guangyao came to Shau Kei Wan and planned to lease a factory and create a garment production company and a zipper production company.

According to Wu Guangyao's plan, the garment production company and the zipper production company will naturally have to build factories separately. After all, he is very wealthy now.

In fact, the first industry to develop on Hong Kong Island was naturally the textile industry.

However, since his future father-in-law is in the textile industry, he only needs to do the following industry - garment production.

According to historical data, there should be one or two garment factories on Hong Kong Island now, and by 1950 there were only 40, so Wu Guangyao entered the industry earlier and developed it earlier.

"Mr. Wu, let's go directly to the local government, which should save time." It was Sun Wei, an employee of Lao Fengxiang, who was speaking. Wu Guangyao saw his ability and planned to ask him to assist him in setting up two companies.

"Let's go, go and ask, the situation of the factory here!"

The person in charge of Shau Kei Wan is naturally a foreigner named Smith.

Hearing that Wu Guangyao was here to rent a factory, he was obviously very happy. After all, after World War II, Pepsi was in demand on Hong Kong Island, and it was a good thing for someone to invest.

Smith said with a smile: "What factory does Mr. Wu plan to open? How much is the investment? I can help you find a suitable factory."

Wu Guangyao looked at Smith's expression. Although Smith was very happy, he was a little contemptuous!

Maybe you are young and think you are just investing in a small factory!

"Mr. Smith, I plan to invest in a garment production factory and a zipper factory. I plan to use mechanized production, so the factory must be larger. As for the investment scale, it should be more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Wu Guangyao said confidently , I thought in my heart, will you be surprised to see how you react!

"What? Didn't Mr. Wu tell a joke?" Smith abruptly stood up from the office chair, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Mr. Smith, let me introduce myself again. I'm the owner of Lao Fengxiang Jewelry Store on Hong Kong Island. I don't need to question my financial strength." Wu Guangyao saw that this guy didn't give any hints, and he was afraid that he would be joking with him. It's not good.

"OH, it turns out that your Excellency is Lao Fengxiang's boss Wu. Please forgive my rudeness. After all, your Excellency is so young, if it weren't for Lao Fengxiang's boss, it would be difficult for people to believe in your strength."

Wu Guangyao naturally wouldn't care about these foreigners, because he didn't have that strength yet.

Soon, Smith arranged for two Chinese staff to act as guides for Wu Guangyao and go to the spare factory for inspection.

The factories in the Shau Kei Wan Industrial Zone are generally rudimentary, and there are even iron-clad houses, which makes Wu Guangyao feel a little contemptuous. This is not as good as the small processing factories of his later generations!

It is rare to have a few decent sets, but they are too small. Wu Guangyao intends to use modern machinery for production, and will not relocate for two or three years.

Seeing Wu Guangyao's dissatisfaction, the Chinese staff finally said: "Mr. Wu, there may be a factory that can meet your requirements. But that factory was bombed a little by the war, and many people died there. I It's also because everyone is Chinese, so I didn't introduce you." The Chinese staff obviously thought that Wu Guangyao would care about those superstitions, which seemed quite kind!

"Dead people are fine, as long as there are a lot of people, you can suppress yin qi. I'm an expert in this area. It's a small matter. Please take us to see it!"

With anticipation in mind.

As for the matter of the dead, Wu Guangyao said with contempt, how many people died in the Second World War, should they be afraid of these.

I didn't believe in these since I was a child. Even if I had crossed over, I wouldn't believe in ghosts and gods, but I wouldn't take the initiative to slander ghosts and gods!

Seeing Wu Guangyao's fearless expression, the Chinese staff reluctantly took the group to a slightly remote place in Shau Kei Wan.

A five-storey high-rise building rose from the ground, and there were a lot of open spaces around it. Presumably this used to be a big factory!

"Mr. Wu, there used to be a machinery factory run by foreigners here. During the peak period, there were as many as 800 workers here. During World War II, two shells were thrown here, but the factory was not bombed. At most, there was a slight problem with the foundation. ."

"During World War II, this was also a concentration camp for the Dongying army to detain people, so many people died here!"

"Each floor of the factory has an area of ​​more than 5,000 square feet, enough to accommodate 150 workers!"

Wu Guangyao looked at the factory carefully, and was ecstatic. After a little remodeling, it would take 5 years and 10 years without any problems.

"What's the rental price of this factory?" Wu Guangyao said calmly, suppressing his inner ecstasy.

"This needs to be discussed with our boss Smith, but you can negotiate the price with him, sir. You can say that this place used to be a concentration camp, and many people died. And no one came here to rent it. After the war, it has been vacant." Although the staff is helping the foreigners, they are very friendly to the Chinese.

Wu Guangyao quickly thanked them and gave them two red envelopes. After all, this information can save him a lot of money, and it is natural to give some favors.

This is the so-called sophistication of human relationships. Many people do not understand the truth all their lives, and only realize it when they are old, but unfortunately it is too late!

And after the establishment of the factory, there are still many things that need to be dealt with with the government. The two of them are obviously a good help!

The two refused a little, but were moved by Wu Guangyao's firmness and accepted two big red envelopes.

"Mr. Wu, although the two of us are only small staff, we are very clear about this gate. If there is anything in the future, even if you tell me, those who can help you will definitely help you!" The Chinese staff looked at the hundreds of Hong Kong dollars in their hands and said enthusiastically. .

I just see that I am Chinese, I should remind you a little, I did not expect to get such a rich reward.

I felt a little uneasy in my heart, thinking that Mr. Wu would have to deal with the government in the future, and offered to come to find the two in the future.

"Then I would like to thank the two of you. I will definitely trouble you in the future. I will be the host at that time, and everyone will get to know each other well! Today I will go to discuss with Smith first."

In Smith's office, Wu Guangyao argued for reasons.

It is the principle that he invests a lot, contributes to the society, and has political achievements for him;

There are traces of war in the factory building. I heard from people around that this place used to be a concentration camp. These are the reasons;

From the annual rent of 12,000 to 9,000 Hong Kong dollars, it is quite a saving!

After the house is rented, it is natural to have a little decoration and painting, which is naturally handed over to Yaocheng Decoration Company.
