Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

On July 21, 1977, after Bao Zixuan had breakfast, he went out at the urging of his mother. Originally, his mother wanted to go with him, but later, with his constant persuasion, Li Yulin finally gave up the idea. Law.

It was only 8:40 when Bao Zixuan arrived at the Federal Building because his mother told him that He Mingcheng was a person with a very strong sense of time. I asked him to meet with him early. Although he was the employer, he still had to give him the respect he deserved. About 10 minutes later, he saw a black Toyota driving over. He Mingcheng rolled down the window and said, "Boy, it's okay! You've been waiting for a long time! Get in the car!"

When Bao Zixuan saw that the person coming was He Mingcheng, he got in the car and sat in the passenger seat and said, "Uncle He, it doesn't take long, how long will it take for us to arrive! If you are tired, take a rest and I will drive!"

He Mingcheng: "Don't worry! Uncle He, I'm not old yet! About 40-45 minutes! Besides, you don't want me to show you the way when you drive."

Bao Zixuan: "That's true," so he chatted with He Mingcheng about the situation in the factory!

He Mingcheng: "Both factories are in Kwun Tong, Kowloon. They are not very far apart. One is because the boss and his family are planning to immigrate, so they are selling the factory to cash out and leave. However, since the factory is my own, the price will be more expensive, more than 2 million. .There are currently 56 workers in the factory, most of whom have been engaged in arcade machine assembly work for 4 or 5 years. The other is due to poor management and is now insolvent. The factory buildings and everything are rented, and the number of people is about 30. Factory I have only been assembling arcade machines for more than a year, but the machines are all new, and you can get it for about 500,000 yuan. I asked you, can you do this? Look, it has only been a year, and some people can't support it."

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry! I have confidence in Uncle He."

He Mingcheng: "Wherever you go and when you work in the future, I will still call you Mr. Bao. You should call me and the lawyer!"

"Okay, Lawyer He." Bao Zixuan replied.

He Mingcheng: "You react very quickly! Mr. Bao." Hahahaha

The two people quickly arrived at the first factory under the leadership of He Mingcheng, the Xiangjiangtong. Looking at the crowded workshops and dilapidated factory buildings, except for the new equipment, the factory has no redeeming features. Moreover, the boss is a layman. He is 40 years old this year, and his surname is Zhong. He is a middle-aged fat man. He used to open a seafood restaurant, but later he heard that OEM arcade machines are very profitable, so he started this business. However, Xiangjiang's piracy industry has been hit hard since he entered, and business has not been very good. Hearing that He Mingcheng and the two were here to acquire the factory, they immediately introduced him enthusiastically!

Boss Zhong: "Lawyer He, Mr. Bao. Even though my factory is small, the equipment has been purchased recently and is all new. What do you two think?"

Bao Zixuan: "Boss Zhong, the equipment is not worth much. Second-hand equipment is easy to find, and most of the parts of the arcade machines are purchased and assembled from outside. There are not many companies that are truly produced by themselves, not to mention Xiangjiang, even RB. This strength. So how about you give me a good price?"

Boss Zhong: "Xiaobao is always cheerful, so I won't talk nonsense. 800,000, one hand to pay, and the other hand to the factory."

Bao Zixuan: "I'll think about it." After saying that, he took He Mingcheng and left. Because in his opinion, the potential for subsequent development of this place is not very great, which will restrict the expansion of the factory. If there is no better place, he will choose this place. Now I'm going to check out another one. But at this time, when he saw the two of them leaving, Boss Zhong chased them out. The price can be easily negotiated between the two of them! Good to discuss!

Bao Zixuan: "I'll think about it when I go back and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." He got in the car and left. After the two left, Boss Zhong called one of his men to follow him and see where they were going.

After Bao Zixuan and the others arrived at the second factory, they were still very satisfied with this factory. Although it was a bit remote, there were no other buildings nearby, just open space. The boss wanted to make machine tools before, but he didn't have the skills, so he was finally able to assemble an arcade machine.

He Mingcheng: "You see! It's very remote here. Security is also a big investment. The security here is not as good as that on Xiangjiang Island. The boss's name is Pan Jianwen. He is almost 60 years old this year. Now My son and daughter are all developing in Canada, and he and his wife are the only ones left in Xiangjiang. The children are in a hurry, and he is a nice person. We have known each other for a few years, and this piece of land is inherited from their family, so the price will be higher. .”

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry! I know Lawyer He well. If it doesn't work, just do what I did just now." When the two people arrived at the factory gate, security guards checked in. Seeing the actions of the security guard, Bao Zixuan was very familiar with it. It seemed that the boss had also found some people who had been soldiers, so he was relieved; but in this era, there were still some people from the mainland.

Pan Jianwen: "Lawyer He, here you are, this is Mr. Bao! He is really young and promising. Let me take you to the workshop to have a look! Although most of the equipment was bought a few years ago, the workers have maintained it very well. "It sounds like Pan Jianwen doesn't sound like a businessman at all. This may be a symptom. Let's look at the situation first!

After walking around for a while, Bao Zixuan already had a rough idea. The factories are all single-story buildings and are very simple to build. In order to support the facade and facilitate living, a two-story building was built next to the factory. The first floor is used as an office, and the boss and his family can live on the second floor, which is quite convenient. There is also a row of dormitories, which are the simplest ones. The total construction area is about 2,000 square meters. According to the current housing price in Xiangjiang, it should be about 2 million. However, the land next to it is too big, totaling 230 acres. Even if it is cheap, it is still expensive. Around 46-48 million.

Bao Zixuan: "Pan Sheng, I think it's okay. Please make an offer!"

Pan Jianwen did not bid, but asked: "After Mr. Xiao Bao took over the factory, did he also make arcade machines? To be honest, this business is not easy to do. I want to ask the workers how you plan to arrange it."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that Pan Jianwen didn't quote the price but instead asked the workers questions first, which surprised him. But he reacted quickly! This could be a good boss! I want to think long-term for the workers.

Bao Zixuan: "Pan Sheng, you can rest assured. I will retain all the workers, provided they are willing to work for me and their work ability can match their wages. I will not fire the workers if they have not made serious mistakes." A worker, please don’t worry about this.”

Pan Jianwen: "Okay, then for 2.6 million, the factory is yours, provided you can accept all the workers."

Bao Zixuan: "Pan Sheng, the price is fine, but I'm not afraid of your jokes. I don't have that much money all of a sudden." When he heard this, Pan Jianwen's face changed a little, as if to say that you don't have money to make me happy! Then he continued: "Pan Sheng, do you think this is okay? The price is calculated as 3 million. I will give you 1 million first, and the remaining 2 million within half a year. If the factory does not make up for the 2 million in half a year, If you take it back, my 1 million is equivalent to giving it to you for free. I am just starting out."

At this time, He Mingcheng said: "Pan Sheng, even if we can't give you money by then, our Xiaobao family will not ignore it."

Pan Jianwen: "Since Lawyer He has spoken, I will give you face, just 2.6 million. You can just give me 1.6 million when the time comes, but you must treat every worker here well."

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you Pan Sheng. I heard that the land to the south of the factory belongs to you. There are about 230 acres in total. I hope you can give me a year and don't look for a buyer yet."

Pan Jianwen: "Hahaha, your ambition is not small. I want to see what your kid will develop into in the future. Okay, I can afford to wait a year, 60 million. No matter what the land price in Xiangjiang is then, you can pay for it." The land you come from is yours.”

After the three people chatted about some details, they mainly focused on payment methods and worker treatment. He Mingcheng began to prepare the contract, and after seeing that it was OK, both parties signed it quickly. Seeing that one year later, if Bao Zixuan paid out 60 million, Pan Jianwen would have to pay 120 million Hong Kong dollars in compensation if he went back on his word; Pan Jianwen smiled and said, "Lawyer He, you are also my lawyer!" After saying that, he laughed, But he still signed his name happily. Bao Zixuan handed over the prepared check from Standard Chartered Bank to Pan Jianwen. Now the factory is officially owned by him, although there is still a debt of 1.6 million.

At the same time, after hearing his subordinates report that He Mingcheng and Bao Zixuan stayed at Old Man Pan's factory for a long time and left with a smile when they came out, Boss Zhong told his subordinates that there was no need to make an appointment with Lawyer He. Find a home!

Younger brother: "Brother, let's forget it."

Boss Zhong: "He Mingcheng is a barrister after all, and the guy is so young, so we can hire him; his background must not be simple, there is no need to go too far, just in case..." He did not say, but the younger brother has already Understood.
