"Plastic factory, why do you ask this?" Chen Tianfu asked with some confusion.
Chen Zhiwen said: "I want this company, dad, please give me a price."
Like Li Ka-shing, Chen Tianfu also started his career in a plastics factory. This is not a coincidence, but in the 1950s, Hong Kong's plastics factories were one of the main bodies of the manufacturing industry. Although none were large-scale, they were better in quantity. , relying on the transportation advantages of cheap artificial and natural ports, many people in Hong Kong obtained their first pot of gold through plastic factories, and then went to real estate and the stock market.
"The factory is not worth much. The reason why I am still running it is actually to let the former workers have a livelihood. In fact, it has been losing money for a long time." Chen Tianfu thought for a while and said: "If you want it, I’ll sell it to you for only 500,000. The factory is not valuable and the equipment is not valuable either, but the land is still ok and worth some money. You don’t have to write a check to me, just deduct it from the 8 million.”
"Okay, then I will find a lawyer to hand over the matter tomorrow." Chen Zhiwen said quite formally.
Chen Tianfu asked curiously: "What are you going to do when you take over a plastic factory? Plastic processing has long been out of business, and even if it gets bigger, how much profit will it make? At most, it will only be OEM for Europe and the United States."
"Of course I know this." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have any hope. This industry has long been dead. I want a plastic factory for other purposes."
Hong Kong's plastics industry initially produced household products, such as washbasins and buckets.
When Li Jiacheng was young, he worked for others selling iron buckets and basins. Because of the development of the plastics industry, he saw opportunities, so he took his 2,000 savings and borrowed another 48,000 Hong Kong dollars to open a plastic shop. factory.
That was the 1950s.
Later, the plastics industry reached a bottleneck. Li Jiacheng was the first to make plastic flowers, and other colleagues followed suit, supporting half of the sky of Hong Kong's plastics industry.
But the economies of Europe and the United States are getting better and better, and greenhouse agriculture is developing even more rapidly. Soon, plastic flowers will be replaced by real flowers.
At this time, Li Jiacheng, including Chen Tianfu and others, began to enter the real estate market, while the remaining ones who continued to stick with it gradually returned to poverty. In the end, they could only work as OEM for some toy brands, or make plastic parts for some local household appliances in Hong Kong.
"That's up to you." Chen Tianfu didn't care. He also knew that his son had hundreds of millions of funds, and a plastics factory couldn't spend much money no matter how hard it went.
"OK." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "Mom went to RB and hasn't come back yet?"
"No, you gave her so much money, and now she has gone to RB to buy a house." Chen Tianfu rolled his eyes and said.
"Buy a house?" Chen Zhiwen was stunned for a moment and said, "You really have an investment vision."
"RB is different from Hong Kong. They mainly rely on industry, not real estate." Chen Tianfu is very discerning.
Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "That's it for now."
In the 1970s, RB's industrial capabilities were indeed very strong. The automobile industry has been developing at a rapid pace for 20 consecutive years, second only to the United States and Germany. In another ten years, with the increase in oil prices, RB Motors will be able to outperform American automobiles. German cars avoided direct confrontation with RB cars by taking the luxury route. The remaining Volkswagen accidentally opened the Chinese copy and gained the opportunity of the times.
At the same time, RB's other industries are also very strong. However, no matter how the manufacturing economy develops, no one can escape the nightmare of real estate and financial stock markets. Eventually, we will enter an era of national real estate speculation or stock speculation.
The Filipino maid brought up the washed grapes, and Chen Zhiwen started to eat two. They were indeed delicious. There was a drought in California this year, and although the grape harvest was low, the sugar content was higher.
Natural fructose is much better than other sugars. As long as you don't over-take it, there won't be any problems. This is also the advice of nutritionists. The villa area where the Chen family is located has specialized nutritionists who conduct nutritional analysis for every customer.
In this era when insulin could not be mass-produced, diabetes was fatal, and wealthy people cherished their lives. They wanted to enjoy themselves but were afraid of risks, so they naturally hired professional nutritionists.
Chen Tianfu also ate a few, nodded and said, "It's pretty good. I'll buy some more when your mother comes back."
"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded in agreement.
After staying for a while, Chen Zhiwen finished lunch at home and watched TV for a while, before Chen Zhiwen contacted his lawyer.
In less than an hour, the Chen family's exclusive lawyer Lin Yanming rushed over, and the two made an appointment to meet at a nearby coffee shop.
"Hello, Mr. Chen." Lin Yanming said politely after arriving at the coffee shop and finding Chen Zhiwen who was already waiting.
"Sit down, Lawyer Lin." Chen Zhiwen put down the newspaper in his hand. He had no choice. There are no toys that can help a person kill time in this era. The first generation of Gameboy is still more than ten years away. When he is bored, he can only read it. newspapers or books, which is why the influence of global newspaper media is no less than that of television.
"Okay." Lin Yanming sat down and said, "Sheng Chen, I don't know how to invite me over. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"I need to set up a holding company called Galaxy Holdings. At the same time, my father will transfer the Hengyi Plastic Factory to me and put it under Galaxy's name." Chen Zhiwen said.
"Galaxy Holdings!" Lin Yanming's eyes lit up. As soon as he heard this name, he knew that a big one was coming.
As the exclusive lawyer of the Chen family, he naturally has a good relationship with the Chen family. As early as last year, Chen Zhiwen suddenly came to him and said that he was going to buy more shares of a company in the stock market and consulted him on some legal issues.
He informed Chen Zhiwen of some common legal issues. Subsequently, Chen Zhiwen's long contract with HSBC was also reviewed by him, but the specific amount was blocked.
I didn’t think much about it at the time. At that time, real estate and the stock market were both booming. It was normal to be optimistic about Land. Although it was a bit exaggerated to go long with 5 times leverage, it was not too outrageous. After all, it seemed at the time that Land’s stock was unlikely to rise. If it falls, even if it falls a little, you won’t lose too much if you lose.
However, with the subsequent takeover battle for Land Drinking Milk and the cash-out time in the matching contract, Lin Yanming naturally knew that this transaction was a bloody profit. Unfortunately, he did not know how much the principal was at the time.
During this period of time, he has been waiting for Chen Zhiwen to make a move. No matter how he invests, as long as there is movement, as a full-time lawyer, he will naturally have a higher income.
A holding company has been established, and the subsequent investment will definitely not be small. As for a plastic factory, he doesn't care, it may just be a small start.
Chen Zhiwen continued: "Contact a headhunting company for me to recruit a senior personnel team first, and then we will take the next step."
"No problem. I know the bosses of several headhunting companies. Now that the economy is not good, it is much easier to recruit people." Lin Yanming assured with a smile.
The waiter brought the coffee. After Chen Zhiwen took a sip, he said: "In addition, we will find an agency to find an office building in Central, preferably tens of thousands of square feet. I want to rent it."
"Okay." Lin Yanming also agreed.
Although the current real estate market is not good, the impact on Central is very small. The monthly rent for a 10,000-square-foot Central office building is at least 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. With good scenery, it is possible to double it. Chen Zhiwen was so forthright, which further verified his previous thoughts.
"In addition, I want to buy a car dealership. Please help me find one with the qualifications to import cars." Chen Zhiwen added.
"Car dealer?" Lin Yanming was stunned for a moment, this turn of events was a bit big.
"This is not an investment." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "I just like to play with different cars."
