Chapter 110 [The Cantonese is treacherous]

When Lin Zhichao received the 538,000 Hong Kong dollars from Li Gaofu, he immediately laughed. It was beyond his expectation that Wang Tongyuan was so easily fooled.

"This is your commission of 53,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you agree on something good, you will naturally keep your word!"

He didn't care how Li Gaofu easily made this money, but he only knew that six second-hand machines or obsolete machines were actually sold for the price of four new machines he imported from Germany.

What a bargain!

"Thank you Lin Sheng!"

"You deserve it, thank me for anything!"

Li Gaofu did not remain polite. Although the money was very big to him, to his cousin, it was probably just a drop in the bucket. As for the 10% commission, he originally wanted to help, but since his cousin insisted,

He couldn't resist either.

"This Wang Tongyuan is so happy that he is still dreaming about his spring and autumn dream of being a zipper king!" Li Gaofu joked.

"Everything is fair competition! Six machines cost US$16,000 each, which is not expensive for him to buy. As for the rest, everyone will use their own methods. This is a shopping mall." Lin Zhichao said nonchalantly.

"It makes sense! He has already decided to fail by entering this business rashly." Li Gaofu laughed at Wang Tongyuan. However, he also thanked Wang Tongyuan in his heart for allowing him to get a commission of more than 50,000 yuan.

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Li Gaofu stood up and left.

Later, Lin Zhichao called Wang Liang and said: "The machine has been sold! Now you ask the sales department to inform the major zipper demand customers in Hong Kong that our new aluminum alloy zipper only costs 7 cents a piece. How to promote it specifically?

You guys should understand!"

Wang Liang said confidently: "Of course! We make it with new machines. Whether it is zippers or sliders, the craftsmanship and quality are higher than those of old machines. And at a price of 70 cents, even a Hong Kong zipper factory is willing to make it, but the quality is poor

First of all, zipper demand suppliers in Hong Kong are not allowed to choose us."

Lin Zhichao deliberately left Wang Tongyuan a chance of survival, which was not a good intention.

If Wang Tongyuan wants to receive an order, it is possible with at least 0.65 Hong Kong dollars;

Even with this price of 0.05 Hong Kong dollars cheaper, merchants in Hong Kong will still choose Cheung Kong Industrial zippers.

Therefore, Wang Tongyuan is already on the edge of the cliff!

At the same time, Lin Zhichao did not give him the last push, but let history give him this push.

If the Hong Kong zipper factory can persist until the middle of next year, it will naturally go out of business if it finds that aluminum alloy cannot be imported.

As for Hong Kong customers, they will take advantage of that opportunity next year to raise prices back or even raise prices.

Anyway, it is already a monopoly business, and it is not the final decision of Cheung Kong Holdings.

The Hong Kong Zipper Factory is holding an 'opening ceremony'. It originally had three machines. Wang Tongyuan planned to keep a low profile and did not want to invite friends to visit. Now it is different. The Hong Kong Zipper Factory has nine automatic zipper metering machines. Naturally, he

I want my friends to come and pay their respects.

In the past few days, through research with his subordinates, he found that if materials could be ordered in large quantities, the price could be reduced to 5.5 cents. This greatly increased their confidence, and they felt that it was a mistake for Yangtze River Industry to rely on agents.

"Brother Tongyuan, you also set up a zipper factory. Is this very profitable?" my friend joked with a smile.

"No matter how much money I make, I just think that diversified development is very promising, so I try to do it." Wang Tongyuan said modestly.

"Hey, there are still nine automatic zipper machines. Are you trying to compete with Yangtze River Industries?" Another friend looked at the large number of machines in the factory.

"No, we are late learners, but there is only one zipper factory in Hong Kong, which is obviously too monopolistic. So, let's compete fairly!" Wang Tongyuan said with a proud expression.

Friends congratulated Wang Tongyuan one after another, but there was one person in the crowd, fellow textile tycoon Tang Bingyuan, who was carefully observing the rice rowing machine in the factory.

It seems that Wang Tongyuan deliberately invited Tang Bingyuan so that he could declare war on Lin Zhichao through him, saying that he also wanted to enter the zipper industry. Let's compete fairly!

"Hey, brother Tongyuan, why is this machine of yours similar to the machine of Yangtze River Corporation? It feels like a second-hand rice rowing machine that was eliminated by Yangtze River Corporation."

As soon as Tang Bingyuan finished speaking, he attracted the attention of more than a dozen businessmen on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Wang Tongyuan's face was slightly red. After all, it was a second-hand mobile phone, but he still said: "It is indeed a second-hand mobile phone imported from Germany, but it is not eliminated by Yangtze River Industries. Besides, their factory has only been open for a few years, how could they eliminate the machines?

?”

It is impossible for machines to become obsolete in just two years, this is Wang Tongyuan's view.

Tang Bingyuan seemed to understand a possibility at this time. Thinking that Wang Tongyuan wanted to take advantage of him, he deliberately raised his voice and said: "You may not know, Yangtze River Industry uses an improved automatic zipper rice arranging machine. You can build 1,800 buildings an hour."

, then their machine is the 3600 building, which is twice as fast and of better quality; at the same time, they also use an automatic slider stamping machine, abandoning the traditional slider production process. I have visited Yangtze River Industrial, so it is very

Clearly, they originally had 16 rice arranging machines, six of which were old machines like this. And here you are”

For a time, everyone paid attention to this matter!

Wang Tongyuan and Wu Mingcheng were stunned. At this time, they seemed to understand that they had been tricked by Lin Zhichao.

"Could it be that Cheung Kong Industries eliminated six machines and then deliberately sold them to Brother Tongyuan?" someone said with an 'angry' tone.

Tang Bingyuan had to protect his niece and son-in-law, and said: "Cheung Kong Corporation deliberately sold it, and Brother Tongyuan had to buy it. Brother Tongyuan is not stupid, how could he buy the machines that Yangtze River Corporation had eliminated."

"That makes sense!"

"It's true that Brother Tongyuan is so smart!"

All the friends held back their laughter and comforted Wang Tongyuan.

At this time, they already understood something. It may be that the machines that were eliminated by Yangtze River Industry were sold to other agents; and this agent in turn sold them to the Hong Kong zipper factory.

As for whether there is any meaning of Yangtze River Industries in this, it is unknown.

Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that Wang Tongyuan is going to be unlucky. From Tang Bingyuan, we learned that Changjiang Industrial uses an improved zipper metering machine and an automatic slider stamping machine. Based on these, the Hong Kong zipper factory does not have

What a way to survive.

When all the guests left, Wang Tongyuan finally couldn't help but cursed: "These Cantonese guys are more treacherous than the last!"

Wu Mingcheng immediately did not dare to speak, because if it was true, then the real revenge of Cheung Kong Industries had just begun.

Maybe it's worry and eagerness to turn it into reality.

"Boss, Manager Wu, there was a call from a garment factory just now, saying that the order was to be cancelled. He also told us that Cheung Kong Industries now supplies zippers to all Hong Kong for only 70 cents. And, and" a salesman hurried in and said

After talking about it for a while, I didn’t dare to say the next words.

"And what?" Wang Tongyuan said with a serious face.

"And the quality is very good. It's said to be a newly improved machine that produces chain elements, and an automatic slider stamping machine that produces sliders. In short, even if we quote 6 cents, they won't buy our products." The salesperson said tremblingly.

Wang Tongyuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

This zipper factory, which we invested US$250,000 in, is now almost a pile of scrap metal. Of course, it may be able to produce, but it will definitely not use a few machines, and it can only survive.

"Lin Zhichao" Wang Tongyuan said in a low voice through gritted teeth.

He was completely defeated in this battle!

If it were a loss, it would probably cost one million Hong Kong dollars. It would take more than a year for a Hong Kong textile factory to make such a huge amount of money.

Cheung Kong Holdings has regained the zipper market in Hong Kong and firmly held the Southeast Asian market, all due to the contribution of machines and cost.

This time, Yangtze River Industrial actually did not suffer any losses. Originally, Lin Zhichao was pursuing a gross profit of 30% to 40% (that is, excluding machine losses and factory building losses).

Even if it currently pays 7 cents to Hong Kong customers, Cheung Kong still has a gross profit of 40 to 45%; not to mention, several machines to be eliminated have withdrawn more than 480,000 yuan, which is his unplanned income.

This unexpected capital was enough to cover the purchase of 150,000 square feet of land.

Yangtze River Industrial currently only has 15 automatic zipper rice arranging machines in production, but the annual output is 5.4 million meters, so the output has not decreased; on the contrary, there will be 5 automatic zipper rice arranging machines delivered by the end of the year, and the output will reach 720

Thousands of meters.

Of course, orders will definitely not grow that fast.

The conference room of Cheung Kong Holdings.

The gathering of senior executives showed that Changjiang Industrial has grown into a large industrial company.

"Let's get started!" Lin Zhichao said, sitting at the front.

Next, Bao Chunlai took the lead in reporting: "At present, our Xingdao Engineering has undertaken all orders from the Americas. From the import of raw materials, receiving orders, production and manufacturing, delivery and other steps, we have implemented a one-stop independent operation."

What we want is this effect. Even the finance is run independently. Of course, the finance is sent from Hong Kong. Of course, the Sing Tao factory is still operated under the Cheung Kong Holdings. The headquarters has supervision and guidance responsibilities. It can only be said that it is relatively

independent subsidiary.

Lin Zhichao said: "Okay, I will go and inspect it in a while. I hope you are the same as the head office. As for the orders, we will take over the American orders for the time being. After the remaining five machines are delivered, we will consider taking over the European orders."

Bao Chunlai said enthusiastically: "Okay!"

As time went by, he felt that he had risen again. This time, he felt more at ease.

Next, various departments reported their work one after another. Generally speaking, everything was developing steadily and steadily. In 1950, Cheung Kong Industries was expected to reach a gross profit of HK$5 million (which can be understood as net profit, that is, not counting the cost of machines and factories)

.

As for 1951~1953, Lin Zhichao was already prepared for slow and difficult development. After all, the Peninsular War and the rise of YKK zippers would be new challenges.

Finally, Lin Zhichao said: "The deputy general manager and department managers should be more proactive in their work and have a broader vision in the future. To put it simply, they should share some of their responsibilities for me, because my energy needs to be allocated to other undertakings. I hope that is

I'm not in Hong Kong, but you can still organize management meetings, analyze internal and external affairs, and achieve corporate development."
