Tadao Yoshida carefully stroked an automatic zipper machine that he had just imported from the United States. This machine cost him 1,200 yen (about 40,000 US dollars).
You know, Tadao Yoshida's heavy assets were only 5 million yen. In order to buy this machine, he went to many banks. In the end, RB Industrial Bank finally agreed to lend him 1,200 yen, and Tadao Yoshida got his wish.
"President, are you going to install the machine?" His subordinate, Keita Masataka, saw that the president was clinging to a young girl, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, so he deliberately interrupted.
When Tadao Yoshida heard this, he immediately returned to normal and said: "Yes, prepare to install the machine. We must speed up production, make more money, and buy more machines."
This machine is like a hen that lays eggs. The eggs hatch into chicks, and soon he will have a flock of chickens.
Next, an RB engineer installed the machine for Tadao Yoshida according to the instructions. Tadao Yoshida couldn't wait to start organizing production. He had been waiting for this moment for nearly half a year.
However, when Tadao Yoshida saw the automatic zipper machine spitting out zippers, he had tears in his eyes.
"This is how zippers are made. Those who still stick to traditional hand-made production will soon be eliminated by automatic zipper machines!" Tadao Yoshida said ambitiously.
Keita Masataka nodded and said proudly: "President, when you invited them to jointly fund the purchase of an automatic zipper machine, they were short-sighted. I believe that they will soon pay the price for their stupidity!"
Tadao Yoshida couldn't help but laugh. He could have obtained it four or five months in advance because those people were short-sighted. In the past six months, the continuous import of zippers produced in Hong Kong has greatly affected the handmade zippers.
During this period, Tadao Yoshida suffered every day and wished he could get a loan immediately.
In fact, Cheung Kong Industries charges RB agents about 9 cents a piece, while RB agents charge an increase of 3 to 5 cents (HK dollars). In addition, Cheung Kong Industries has insufficient production capacity, so in the past six months, RB handmade zipper products have not been sold. The devastating blow can only be said to have some impact.
At this time, Keita Masataka asked again: "President, what is the price of our zippers? Are they cheaper than those who represent Hong Kong zippers?"
Tadao Yoshida immediately said: "Confused! We need funds to continue to buy automatic zipper machines. What's more, the RB market is not yet very competitive, why should we rush to lower the price? Therefore, our price is set at 1.2 to 1.5 cents a piece. "
Keita Masataka suddenly understood and said by analogy: "When we have enough automatic zipper machines, we will significantly reduce the price and drive out the zippers made in Hong Kong from RB."
Tadao Yoshida nodded and said: "Children can be taught. Okay, now let's speed up production. After a while, I will invite bankers to inspect the factory. We must act as soon as possible."
"Yes, President"
........
Hong Kong, Tsuen Wan.
Cheung Kong Industrial's factory was successfully completed at the end of May, covering an area of 30,000 square feet and only one floor high.
The reason why such a waste of land is for quick success.
What's more, the land owned by Lin Zhichao is 120,000 square feet, and the planned area is for three factory buildings. If the high-rise factory buildings are built in the future, the first-floor factory building can be demolished and rebuilt.
"Boss, we have sorted out this land and can build a five-story factory on it at any time!" Huang Changhong introduced.
Lin Zhichao looked at the open space in front of him and said with satisfaction: "Well, it won't be long. Construction is expected to start this year. However, are you sure there are no problems with the construction technology and permit approval of the five-story factory building?"
At this time, the tallest factory building in Hong Kong was only three stories tall, and that was the Taikoo Sugar Factory in Quarry Bay.
Huang Changhong said confidently: "There is no problem with the construction technology. We have asked the architects and construction companies, and everyone thinks there is no problem. The reason why there are no high-rise factories in Hong Kong is that they are not needed. There is no shortage of land for large factories, and there is no shortage of land for small factories. The factory doesn’t use that much area.”
Lin Zhichao thought it made sense and asked again: "Where is the field hall?"
Huang Changhong said: "There is no problem! I have carefully understood the relevant laws. Residential buildings are stipulated not to exceed five floors. There are actually no hard and fast regulations for commercial buildings and factories. Once mainland factory owners come to Hong Kong, there will inevitably be land shortages If there is a shortage, it is natural for the factory to develop upwards.”
When Lin Zhichao heard this, he thought it made sense and stopped taking it to heart.
In fact, if a five-story industrial building is built, the first floor area will be 30,000 square feet, and the fifth floor will be 150,000 square feet.
Zipper production in Hong Kong also does not use that much floor space.
Of course, considering that other manufacturing industries may be involved in the future, it is natural to be prepared.
Everyone came to a wooden house area again. This is the staff building planned by Lin Zhichao. It covers an area of almost 30,000 square feet. There are a total of 80 wooden houses, and the total construction cost is also 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"Manager Wang, in these 80 wooden houses, technical workers and small management personnel can all be allocated a family unit wooden house. If there are any left, four workers will be arranged to live in one. Those who can't live in any more, let them make their own decisions. Find a way to build a wooden house on the mountain over there." Lin Zhichao said.
Wang Liang nodded and said, "Okay."
Lin Zhichao looked at a wooden house and suddenly frowned!
Upon seeing this, Huang Changhong immediately said: "Boss, this wooden house is a certain distance from the factory area, and we have prepared two more water storage tanks to deal with emergencies."
Lin Zhichao looked at Huang Changhong, but he didn't expect that this construction professional was also good at observing words and emotions.
"Yes. It's right to be prepared. Manager Wang, you must also strengthen the management of residential areas and strictly implement fire prevention measures."
"Okay, I understand."
Finally, the group returned to the factory area.
Lin Zhichao began to organize workers to remove the protection of the three machines and prepare for installation and operation.
These three automatic zipper machines are produced in Germany and have just arrived in Hong Kong just in time for the completion of the new factory. It can be described as a double happiness. Three machines cost 380,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is a bit expensive, but fortunately they can be paid in installments.
In fact, Cheung Kong Holdings also made 600,000 Hong Kong dollars in seven months, which was enough to pay this amount. After all, the 900,000 loan has not expired.
But Lin Zhichao likes to owe money. Anyway, he has too many debts.
"Be careful! If it's damaged, you can't afford to pay for it if it's sold." Wang Liang shouted at the workers, appearing very harsh.
The workers immediately became cautious and held on to the machine hard, fearing that they would not be able to compensate for the damage. Even if a worker hurt his hand by the machine, he didn't dare to let go and held on.
This scene is cruel!
However, Lin Zhichao is not soft-hearted. It is still a troubled time, and if he can give these people a job, he is already Xuanhu's salvation.
Not only in factories like his, but also in many large-scale projects later, death was a common occurrence.
Lin Zhichao has adapted to this society!
"Go and bandage it, and the medical expenses will be reimbursed!" Lin Zhichao said when he saw a worker's finger bleeding when he went to install the machine.
The reason why I was not soft-hearted just now was because I was worried about my machine. Now it is just a casual comment and I won't lose much money.
"Boss, no need, the bleeding will stop in a while!"
"Then take care of it yourself, and seek medical attention immediately if necessary!"
“Good boss”
For a while.
Dozens of workers soon looked at the boss with emotion. In their hearts, this boss was a good boss.
Lin Zhichao naturally wanted this effect. As a boss, how could he not find a good opportunity to win people's hearts?
Next, Lin Zhichao began to organize the installation of machines. He was very familiar with automatic zipper machines and could install and repair them.
Otherwise, the contribution to improving machines would not be that great.
