I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

end of February 1948

Looking at the neatly arranged and clean factory building, Wu Guangyao nodded secretly, it looked a bit like a modern factory.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

"Mr. Wu, Oumai Trading has called. Our machinery has arrived at the port, and we are told to receive it immediately!" The office staff ran downstairs excitedly and said to Wu Guangyao.

"Great! It's actually five days earlier than expected, everything is going well!" Wu Guangyao said to Lin Yueru beside him with a happy face.

"Well, with the machine, we can make great achievements!" Lin Yueru also beamed with joy and agreed.

My fiancé has been nagging lately, why the machine is not here yet, at such a young age, he is almost becoming a nagging ghost.

The machinery is shipped directly to the factory by Omer Trading, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Go and call Manager Fu and Manager Li, prepare for the welcome ceremony, and set off firecrackers outside the factory." Wu Guangyao instructed the staff.

In the afternoon, with the sound of firecrackers, machines moved into the workshop.

Wu Guangyao personally guided the installation and commissioning. After all, he was in a factory in the United States. After professional guidance and practice, there was no technical problem at all.

After debugging, guide the staff to operate.

Everyone is not unfamiliar with these machines, because they have memorized the operation manuals by heart, and even Wu Guangyao often took classes in person.

Since then, Wu Guangyao's career has finally been able to take off.

 …

After the machine arrives, it is natural to start vigorous production.

At this time, the cheongsam is the most popular among ladies in Hong Kong Island. Women from families with a little money will choose cheongsam.

So Wu Guangyao asked Uniqlo designers to design three fashionable and innovative cheongsams with reference to his own opinions. As soon as the machines arrive, they will be mass-produced.

On Hong Kong Island, shirts and trousers are the most popular among men, which are also important types of clothing produced by Uniqlo.

Uniqlo mainly focuses on the mid-to-high-end clothing market. It first aims to occupy the Hong Kong Island market within a year, and then expands to the mainland, Japan, and Southeast Asian markets. The ultimate goal is to export to Europe and the United States.

"Has the cost come out?" Wu Guangyao asked Fu Hongru. You must know that you are taking the route of high quality and low price. If the cost is too high, outside clothing stores will never choose to cooperate with you. After all, they have tailors. can also be produced.

If their own costs are low enough, they can go bankrupt. They choose to cooperate with Uniqlo, purchase from Uniqlo, and sell them in stores.

"I can only make approximate statistics. After all, the current production volume is too small, and I am afraid that the statistics are not careful. The current cost is about 60% of the same type on the market, but I believe that if the volume increases, it can even reach 50%."

"Okay, we still choose small profits but quick turnover, let those clothing stores rely on our products first."

 …

"Boss, hello! I am an employee of Uniqlo Garment Production Company. Our company has produced three kinds of cheongsams. Let me show you! Guaranteed to be of high quality and low price!" This is the salesperson of Uniqlo's marketing department, in a clothing store on Hong Kong Island The boss sells his products.

"You young man, we can weave cheongsams ourselves, why would we buy your cheongsams!" The boss looked unhappy, this young man is too useless to see it!

"Boss, why don't you take a look at our cheongsam products first?" The salesman still responded with a smile. After a long period of training, he naturally wouldn't back down.

"Huh, let's take a look! I think you are here to make trouble. There are not many cheongsams in Hong Kong Island, which are better than my Wang Laowu!" Wang Laowu snorted coldly, and took the clothes from the salesman the cheongsam, and then flung it away deliberately, as if to damage the clothes on the spot, and then taunted the salesman.

What you buy is high-quality fabrics, elegant peonies and beautiful colors, and carefully bring the cheongsam to your eyes. The neat lines and perfect workmanship are by no means what your own tailor can do.

"This... this, what do you mean?" Although Wang Laowu was surprised in his heart, his face remained calm, but his stuttering obviously betrayed him.

"Boss, I have inquired that your cheongsam is generally 4 Hong Kong dollars a piece, and your cost (including labor) is about 3 Hong Kong dollars. I can sell you this one for 2.7 Hong Kong dollars a piece, but the price you sell to the outside world is only 3 Hong Kong dollars. It’s 3.3 to 3.5 Hong Kong dollars per piece,” said the salesman.

"What? Sell me one piece for 2.7 Hong Kong dollars. Don't you make money?" Wang Laowu couldn't control his facial expression at this time, and he was so shocked that his cost was almost 3 Hong Kong dollars.

"Boss, we are a modern factory with an assembly line operation, and the production cost is lower than your manual production. At the same time, we also make small profits but sell more, so you don't have to worry about us losing money." The salesman looked confident, and then took out two more A different cheongsam.

"Not only have we reduced production costs, but you can also look at these styles, which are fashionable and innovative enough, and the quality is better than your artificial production!" The salesman continued, and handed the two models in his hand to Wang Laowu.

Wang Laowu carefully observed the three sets of cheongsams, thinking that he must find out the shortcomings of these cheongsams and calm his wounded heart.

After a while, Wang Laowu looked up at the salesman, and pushed the cheongsam back into the salesman's arms.

"I won't buy your cheongsam. If I buy your cheongsam, what will my tailor do?" After speaking, he looked resolute, but felt helpless. If this kind of cheongsam appeared in the market, his business would definitely be greatly affected.

"Boss, you need to think again. If our cheongsams appear in other clothing stores or the stores next door to you, but yours doesn't. I want to ask, how will the business of your store be?" Struggling, throwing a big move.

"Our cheongsam is cheaper than yours, the style is better than yours, and the quality of the thread is even better! You will be behind other clothing stores by then, and your tailor can produce low-end clothing!" Sales The member went on to say.

"Then... how about I buy 50 sets each first?" After a moment of hesitation, the boss finally said.

"Of course, I will leave a phone number for you. If you need to continue ordering, please contact us. We will deliver the goods to your door!"

"Okay, I will contact you if necessary!"

"Okay, boss. I need to put up three posters in your store to promote our cheongsam, please!" The salesman took out three posters and said to the boss.

"Ah! Poster, let's post it! Post it where it won't affect me!" Wang Laowu felt like he was on a thief's boat.

Such a scene appeared in various medium and large clothing stores on Hong Kong Island. The 12 salesmen of Uniqlo, relying on the advantages of high quality and low price, and their provocative eloquence, one third of the medium and large clothing stores on Hong Kong Island chose Cooperation.

As for those who did not cooperate, they probably chose to wait and see, and I believe that they will take the initiative to find them in the near future!

There are three posters on the store, announcing the cooperation with Uniqlo.

The poster also clearly states that the recommended retail price is 3.3 to 3.5 Hong Kong dollars, in order to prevent everyone from confusing prices and vicious competition.

On the poster, there are three actresses wearing cheongsams, including Wu Danfeng.

The current star is quite cheap, 100 Hong Kong dollars a year, and she can shoot as many sets as she wants, as long as she has time.

 …

"Manager Fu, how are you preparing for two shifts?" Wu Guangyao called Fu Hongru and asked

"Mr. Wu, please let me go. The workers have expressed their willingness to take turns working the night shift. After all, there is a subsidy for the night shift." Fu Hongru said with a smile. He originally thought that everyone would boycott the night shift, but he didn't expect that after a night shift can be subsidized by 0.2 Hong Kong dollars, everyone signed up one after another. , to work the night shift. In the end, the management decided to take turns to come, and everyone will give the opportunity.

"Well, let's start production at full capacity now. I have a hunch that our clothing will soon become popular in Hong Kong Island!" Wu Guangyao said, of course he is confident. His own garment factory has too many advantages, and the price is cheap. The quality is excellent, the style is innovative, and it will not work if you think about it.

"Okay, then I'll arrange it and make sure the machine doesn't rest!"

The current garment factories are working at full capacity 24 hours a day, and there is no problem in producing 80,000 to 90,000 pieces of clothing a month. However, there are not enough skilled workers at present, and half of the monthly production volume is not bad.

Therefore, there is no delay in recruiting. This time it is no longer limited to Shau Kei Wan, and other places have also sent out recruitment.
