The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

"Mr. Ian, if my zipper business grows bigger and I want to improve the automatic zipper machinery, are you willing to come to Hong Kong to work? Of course, the salary will definitely double." When he had time, he took the opportunity to send out an invitation.

Ian is a forty-year-old engineer who already has a family, so Lin Zhichao directly doubled his salary and made an invitation. Through these three days of getting along, Lin Zhichao discovered that Ian is a very rigorous and capable mechanical engineer.

At this time, Ian also lamented Lin Zhichao's talent. In just three days, he made the automatic zipper machine very clear. Many principles are easy to understand, and he is already an intermediate maintenance worker.

"It's hard for me to answer you. Although you proposed to double the salary, I don't know if your company is stable. Of course, I believe you will succeed, Mr. Lin!" Ian replied.

Lin Zhichao immediately understood what others meant and stopped dwelling on the issue. If he could discuss it in detail with Ian after he started his zipper business in Hong Kong, he would have a chance.

In his plan, it will take half a year to fill up the business of these three automatic zipper machines; then he will enter into the improvement of automatic zipper machines, and the research and development of the "zipper automatic stamping machine", as well as the establishment of a special research and development center.

He wants to become a manufacturing tycoon and provide a steady stream of funds for his business.

Two more days later.

In Gauss's office, Lin Zhichao was saying goodbye.

The total price of the three automatic zipper machines is 85,000 US dollars (including freight, which is 360,000 Hong Kong dollars). It will take about a month to ship to Hong Kong by sea, after all, flights are required. As for the payment method, it is paid through a bank in the United States.

"Mr. Gauss, in about half a year, I will improve the automatic zipper machinery and strive to make it run faster and produce better products. By then, I will probably need dozens of new machines. I wonder if you are interested in long-term cooperation." Lin Zhichao threw out the bait.

Gauss was not excited, but said calmly: "Does Mr. Lin want to sell zipper products to Europe and the United States?"

Lin Zhichao said confidently: "Not bad! Of course, I am also optimistic about the growing zipper market in Asia. But no matter what, if I open a factory in Hong Kong, the production cost will definitely be reduced a lot."

Gauss did not undermine Lin Zhichao's self-confidence. In his opinion, even if Lin Zhichao had a machine, he might not be able to produce products of comparable quality to European and American products.

"If that day comes, we can produce new automatic zipper machinery for you." He added in his heart: "If there are just a few machines, I may not be willing to open a production line."

Lin Zhichao smiled and didn't say more, because he just mentioned it. After all, he didn't have complete confidence.

However, he is confident that these three machines can make a lot of money, because the Asian market is big enough.

To put it simply, he shipped these three automatic zipper machines back and then started production. In this way, he was competing with the 'handmade workshops'. Then Yangtze Industrial's 'YR' zipper (Yangtze River) would have obvious advantages - cheap and high quality. .

The next sublimation will be to compete with European and American zipper factories and RB zipper factories. In addition to being cheap, Lin Zhichao will also need to achieve similar quality. And the small zipper is actually very technical.

Gauss was more concerned about whether Lin Zhichao was interested in buying his own textile machine.

"I don't have the strength to get involved in the textile industry yet, but once my zipper business becomes big, I will definitely enter the textile industry. Of course, I don't mind going to Hong Kong to help you promote it. You don't know, many textile dealers in the magic city have already Moved to Hong Kong and registered.”

Gauss showed joy and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your help!" From Lin Zhichao's mouth, he also got a very useful information, that is, the Oriental textile industry has been transferred to Hong Kong.

If this is the case, he can also go to Hong Kong to find an agency to promote his products.

Back in Hong Kong, it was already late September.

Lin Zhichao came to Cheung Kong Industries immediately and convened a meeting with two managers.

"Next, I will personally serve as the general manager of Cheung Kong Holdings as the company expands its scale."

Bao Chunlai was surprised. In his opinion, Lin Zhichao's real estate company had reached the level of one million Hong Kong dollars, and he was still interested in the zipper industry. However, he did not resist it because he planned to open his own zipper factory by the end of the year.

During the recent period, Bao Chunlai not only received a certain amount of bonuses and salary from Yangtze River Industries, but also successfully raised funds from relatives and friends, so he planned to start a business.

Li Gaofu was overjoyed, because he knew that Lin Zhichao had already negotiated automatic zipper machinery, and then Cheung Kong Industries would usher in an explosion.

Next, Lin Zhichao said: "Manager Bao serves as the deputy general manager of Yangtze River Industrial, in charge of the production environment of zippers; Manager Li also serves as the deputy general manager of Yangtze River Industrial, in charge of zipper sales, material procurement, etc. Just right, then one left and one Please assist me to expand the scale of Yangtze River Industries."

Bao Chunlai was hesitant to speak, but finally thought about it and decided to forget it. There were only three months before the Chinese New Year, so he would complete the expansion of production for his boss.

As for competing with him in the future, he is not worried at all. No matter how fast his boss learns, he is not as experienced as him; Yangtze River Industry has expanded several times, and everyone produces by hand. There is no big fish eating small fish. His handicrafts Workshops also have room for survival.

"yes"

"Okay, boss"

Next, Lin Zhichao arranged for Li Gaofu to recruit workers and management personnel, and set up the sales department, purchasing department, and technical department. At the same time, raw materials have to be purchased - aluminum alloy, copper.

For this reason, Lin Zhichao injected the last 40,000 Hong Kong dollars in his body into Cheung Kong. If not enough, he can also withdraw tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars from Changjiang Properties.

After some arrangements, Bao Chunlai was immediately confused, hesitated to speak, and finally cooperated honestly.

Since Lin Zhichao served as the general manager of Cheung Kong Industrial, he then divided his business into two, and the two companies ran. There is no priority. On the contrary, since Changjiang Real Estate has been on the right track, Lin Zhichao's time is still tilted towards Cheung Kong Industrial.

"Mr. Tang"

Lin Zhichao came home on time again, and happened to meet Tang Zhongyuan (change the previous name) and his family who were also returning home, and took the initiative to say hello.

In fact, Tang Zhongyuan's family had moved here for more than a month, and Lin Zhichao had only met Tang Zhongyuan twice; as for his family, this was the first time.

This is a family of six, Tang Zhongyuan and his wife, two daughters, two sons, and a maid behind them.

Tang Zhongyuan said happily: "Mr. Lin is really a busy person. He leaves early and returns late every day. Some time ago, I saw the governor participate in the construction of your site. I didn't expect your business to be so big."

Lin Zhichao was amazed at the beauty of the Tang sisters, and said to Tang Zhongyuan without changing his face: "You are too much! Everyone calls me a 'debt man', and I can't wait to send someone to follow me when I go abroad, so you see it is all fake. of."

"Pfft" a silver bell-like smile sounded.

It turned out to be the younger sister of the Tang sisters, and she couldn't help laughing out loud. She was exuding agility, and she was very beautiful, but she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same as my younger sister.

On the other hand, the elder sister of the Tang sisters, although she was holding back her smile, was not 'excessive' at all, instead she was graceful and melancholy, although she was not as beautiful as her younger sister, she was not much less beautiful, she was a big beauty.

"Caiying!" Mrs. Tang called out to her daughter unreasonably.

Tang Zhongyuan also smiled at this time. He saw that Lin Zhichao was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He also had the sophistication of a veteran businessman and the vitality of a young man, which was really rare.

Ever since, Tang Zhongyuan began to introduce his family to Lin Zhichao.

"Lin Sheng, this is my wife Song Qiaoling!"

"Hi Madam Tang!"

"Hi Mr. Lin!"

"These two are my daughters, the eldest daughter Tang Caiyun and the youngest daughter Tang Caiying!"

"Hello Miss Tang"

"Hello, Mr. Lin" "Hello, brother Lin"

"These two are my sons, the eldest son Tang Zhiqian and the youngest son Tang Zhiyue."

"Brother Lin is good"

"well"

After some introductions, Lin Zhichao and Tang Zhongyuan started chatting downstairs, while Song Qiaoling took her family back to the house.
