Two weeks later.
A goods factory.
Zhuang Shikai finished breakfast in the morning and drove to the A goods factory.
When he walked into the factory director's office, he saw Uncle Jian already waiting inside with two accountants.
He had already greeted Uncle Jian yesterday and believed that Uncle Jian had already prepared the money.
At this time, Uncle Jian saw the big boss arriving and stood up with two accountants to greet him: "Big boss, good morning!"
"Big boss!" The two accountants also greeted.
Zhuang Shikai nodded and said in a crisp tone: "Unlock!"
Uncle Jian immediately led someone forward to open the safe, revealing layers of five million Hong Kong notes inside.
Zhuang Shikai looked at the cash inside and ordered with satisfaction: "Count out three million and pack them in three boxes."
"In the afternoon, I will hand it over to Brother Luo."
"Yes, boss." Uncle Jian nodded, led people into the safe and squatted down beside it, and began to help the big boss count the money and organize the cash box.
At this time, a month had passed since Zhuang Shikai became the Inspector of Causeway Bay.
In this month, he has successfully handled a case, proved his ability to the brothers in Causeway Bay, won people's hearts, established prestige, and secured his position as the detective of Causeway Bay. He also encountered an assassination and killed the killer perfectly.
In addition, the layout of Yan Tong is still being quietly carried out, and the daily chores of the police station have to be handled. A month passed quickly.
Today is the last day of the month.
"I hope this dividend can give Brother Luo a good explanation and he can pass this test!" Zhuang Shikai watched the three people counting money, sat down on the factory director's office chair, lit a cigarette, and squinted. He raised his eyes and thought.
Today is not only the day when the A-goods factory pays dividends, but also the day when the police force pays "fees."
Dividends are profits from factory A, while “fees” are the “black money” distributed by the police force every month!
Brother Luo said that Zhuang Shikai would be exempted from dividends for one month, but it was already the second month. The money that should be distributed must be distributed. There's nothing to say. It would be risky to stay.
The original meaning of "fees" refers to some of the consumption incurred by civil servants in government departments when they go through administrative procedures.
Such as documents, pen and ink consumption...
These fees can be charged to businesses/citizens, and the money collected is called "regulatory fees."
Registration fees, annual inspection fees, registration certificate fees, and registration book copying fees collected by various departments belong to this category.
But because the name "fee" sounds good, Brother Luo simply borrowed it and gave it a new meaning. Nowadays, the money that societies have to pay to the police every month, and the black money that police officers get every month, are all verbally called "fees."
As for what kind of protection fee and what kind of black gold? Each sounds worse than the other! How could a person like Brother Luo, who is so particular, call "black money" "black money"! Isn’t this a slap in the face?
Receiving "fees" is a happy event for ordinary police officers, but for Zhuang Shikai, it is a big trouble.
Because today, Zhuang Shikai will receive his first "detective level" high fee in his life. This is different from the fees of ordinary police officers. As long as you take it, you will be blacklisted!
After the ICAC is established, he will definitely be listed as a liquidation target. Zhuang Shikai thought about it and felt that if he wanted to stay in a high position and avoid being liquidated by the ICAC, the only way was not to accept "black money"!
As long as they can avoid collecting black money and leaving no substantial evidence, they will deal with the measures and the ICAC in the future, and ensure that their own interests are not seriously damaged, and that they will make a safe transition to the post-1977 era.
But you don’t receive dirty money to be a detective? This is going against Brother Luo! Tell Brother Luo and a bunch of detectives clearly that you and I are not of the same mind! So if you want to refuse to accept money, you have to take a lot of risks, and you have to use a smart way to leave yourself some room.
So Zhuang Shikai wanted to take out the dividend while the fees were being paid, and use a tactful method to test Lei Luo's reaction.
If Lei Luo is willing to let him go, everyone will be happy. Not only can he continue to be the detective, but he can also be the senior detective in the future. It's mostly an investigation, it won't have much impact on him, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
If Lei Luo forced him to collect illegal money, he would have to prepare a retreat in advance, either as a second-in-command and move closer to the ICAC, or to pack up Xinruan and run away. You have to choose one of the two.
What to do next depends entirely on Lei Luo's attitude this afternoon.
.......
"With the more than two million left in the account, you can go to the Planning Department to approve a piece of land. I want to build a new factory according to the pattern of a garment factory." Zhuang Shikai sat on a chair, exhaled a puff of smoke, extinguished the cigarette butt, and suddenly spoke road.
Under the current sound operation, the A-goods business has entered the revenue growth stage from the market development stage.
In the second month, the income increased significantly. After excluding the material costs, order reserves and other amounts, there was still nearly 5 million left.
Among them, the sales of Tongcai Street discount stores only accounted for about 500,000 yuan, and the remaining 4.5 million yuan were all purchased from various vendors.
This is to control the source of the market! Huge benefits!
And sales will rise steadily in the next few years, and eventually remain at a stable level until Hong Kong Island enters the 1990s, when the economic level rises significantly and the concept of "piracy" is cultivated, it will begin to decline.
However, Zhuang Shikai had already had other financial resources at that time, so he could just treat the A-goods factory as a small income.
He already has a mature business plan in mind.
As for the A-goods factory? It is a pillar now, but it will be a "small business" in the future. If Hong Kong Island is not easy to do, then move to the mainland and Southeast Asia! Reverse output to Europe and the United States is no problem! No matter what, you will make less money!
It can be said that if the vendors make some soup, the rest will go into Zhuang Shikai's pocket.
According to the shareholding ratio of Lei Luo, Lard Zai, and Chen Xijiu, the income is nearly 5 million, and each person will receive about 1 million.
Of course, it's not exactly one million, but somewhat different. It's just that Zhuang Shikai cut off hundreds of thousands of dollars to make up the amount to one million to make the numbers look better. Only then did he order Uncle Jian to put three million in three boxes.
As for his nearly two million profit, he does not need to invest immediately in the factory to expand the factory's production line. Because the current production line of the A-goods factory is sufficient for the time being, there are no masters or workers if we want to expand it in advance.
In the future, as the market continues to expand, production capacity will need to be expanded one after another. But in the next few months, we will slowly expand and recruit talents. There is no need to rush.
Therefore, Zhuang Shikai doesn't have much need for money at present. Two million dollars is useless in his hand, and it is even more wasteful to put it in the bank. He decided to open another "sneaker factory" to occupy the future "shoe market" first.
Anyway, there have been no particularly profitable projects in recent years, so it is better to lay the foundation in advance and wait for the day when it will bear fruit.
We must not forget the promise to make sneakers for Brother Luo. Children, working-class people, and athletes must make money.
What's more, the future "trend circle" and "fashion circle" must also be planned in advance! Let "domestic products" become the leader of the shoe industry in the future world!
Moreover, there are ways to make quick money, and there are ways to make money quickly in industry. If you wait until the market explodes to start the business, it will be too late!
You must make judgments with a forward-looking perspective!
Hehe, "A Goods Street" has taken shape, can "Sneaker Street" be far behind?
"It's the boss," Uncle Jian was counting the money. He raised his head when he heard the voice and immediately agreed quickly.
Judging from the ability that Uncle Jian has shown during this period, he is not someone who knows nothing about business. He can definitely handle this small matter.
The boss's registration of a new factory and application for new land may have little impact on the employees in the A-goods factory. But it is a good thing for the boss himself and the senior management who work with him. However, it is easy to run into trouble when it comes to approving land and building new factories, so Zhuang Shikai went on to say, "If you have any relationship that needs to be sorted out, come to me at any time and I will help you solve it."
"By the way, remember to register a new company trademark for the factory. When the time comes, I will give the trademark to you and it will be fully owned by me."
