Chapter 115 [Mounting money]

Wanhe Plastic Factory.

Boss Wang Dongshan went to General Manager Li Jiacheng and said, "Manager Li, have you noticed that Kowloon Pacific Commercial Bank has not come to order for several days?"

Li Jiacheng had been thinking about opening his own factory recently, so he inevitably made some oversights, so he immediately reacted.

"Yes, I'll call and ask right away!"

Wang Dongshan looked at Li Jiacheng with some suspicion. He was not such a careless person in the past, but he seemed to be a little abnormal recently.

After a while, Li Jiacheng's expression suddenly changed and he came to Wang Dongshan's office.

"Boss, something is not good. Boss Zhao said that they chose a new plastic factory called Changjiang Plastic Factory. The products are of excellent quality and the price is cheaper than ours."

Wang Dongshan's face also changed greatly, and he quickly said: "What's going on? We have been cooperating for more than two years. We know exactly when this Yangtze Plastic Factory appeared. How can we believe it with just one word? Manager Li

, you go and visit Boss Zhao in person, you must not lose this customer."

Li Jiacheng could only nod his head. He didn't expect that when he was preparing to become independent, something like this would happen!

Moreover, what is the origin of this Yangtze Plastics Factory? Could it be an industry under the Yangtze River Industries that he admires very much?

However, when Li Jiacheng made an appointment with Zhao Sheng, the owner of Pacific Commercial Bank, he found that he was shunned.

As a result, he could only inquire about the situation from the market, and soon learned that the newly emerged Yangtze Plastics Factory was quite powerful.

"Well, the plastic market is not big to begin with. Now that Yangtze River Industries has entered the market again, it has a great impact on my plans!"

"Moreover, the price of this Yangtze Plastics Factory is so cheap and the quality control is so good. It is simply aggressive and has a huge impact on the entire market!"

Li Chaoren immediately hesitated, wondering how he could survive in a highly competitive environment if he opened a plastics factory.

But if you think about it carefully, his position in Wanhe Plastic Factory will gradually become embarrassing at this time. After all, Wanhe Plastic Factory has faced challenges. Therefore, he cannot continue to do it, not to mention that this is not his idea.

I need to start a business and marry my cousin.

"Li Jiacheng, Li Jiacheng, are you afraid?"

"Of course I can't be afraid. Not only can I not be afraid of starting my own business, but I also have to make suggestions for Wanhe Plastic Factory and stabilize the company in the last period of time. Otherwise, I will lose the trust of Boss Wang."

Thinking of this, Li Jiacheng returned to the company and confessed the reason to Wang Dongshan.

"Boss, with the current plan, we cannot follow the price reduction, otherwise we will be dragged down by Yangtze River Industries." Li Jiacheng said.

"Then what should we do? We can't just watch us lose customers. By the way, Manager Li always has a plan. Please come up with some suggestions to help the company tide over the difficulties." Wang Dongshan placed his hope on Li Jiacheng.

After Li Jiacheng thought for a long time, he said: "We can only develop new products to stabilize current customers, especially the Southeast Asian market, which must be stabilized."

Wang Dongshan thought for a while and said: "There is some truth! Yangtze Plastic Factory cannot persist for a long time. After all, the profits are so small. They are just trying to open up the market. We need to develop new products to make up for the lost orders."

Plastic can be ever-changing and used in many ways. Toys alone can produce all kinds of plastics.

Li Jiacheng could only stand up bravely and said: "I will definitely lead the team to find ways to develop more products to help the company overcome difficulties. But bosses, don't worry, the plastics industry is developing rapidly, and the entire Hong Kong plastics factory industry is so huge.

One family can eat them all, unlike the zipper industry.”

Wang Dongshan breathed a sigh of relief at this time and sighed: "You are right, I am too worried! You don't know, the Yangtze River Industry is very powerful. Some time ago, there was a Shanghai stock market tycoon who was jealous of zippers.

The industry was making money, so it bought three automatic zipper machines, intending to get a share of the pie. Whoever succeeds, Yangtze River Group takes steps back to advance. It first eliminated six automatic zipper machines, and then sold them to others through third-party channels. After others were fooled, Yangtze River Group

Industry immediately announced that it was using an improved automatic zipper machine with better quality and cheaper price. In one fell swoop, it brought other people's zipper factories to the edge of the cliff. Don't forget about profits, most of the machines can only rot in the warehouse."

Li Jiacheng suddenly felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he trembled with coldness. This move was so powerful!

"Is it really an improved automatic zipper machine? Don't the Shanghai tycoons know how to import that kind of machine?"

"It is said that they participated in the improvement themselves, and the speed is twice that of the old style. In addition, Yangtze River Industry imports a large amount of raw materials, and the cost is low. In short, it is said that the opponent has almost no price space to survive."

Li Jiacheng took a breath. He didn't expect that he could still do business like this. Isn't this a monopoly?

How can we have a monopoly business?

If you monopolize a business, aren't you afraid of offending others?

At the same time, he was a little worried. Is it so easy to develop new products?

In any case, he could only choose to help Wanhe Plastic Factory stabilize as much as possible in the last three months.

He didn't have much confidence in Changjiang Plastics, after all, others were very wealthy.

Changjiang Plastic Factory.

Lin Zhichao, Wang Liang, Guo Xinxin and other senior executives of the parent company are listening to the progress of the Yangtze River Plastic Factory. After all, the Yangtze River Plastic Factory is a subsidiary of Yangtze River Industries.

Moreover, apart from paying attention at the beginning, Lin Zhichao is afraid that he will have to lay out plastic flowers after five years.

He didn't pay attention, so he could only let the management of Cheung Kong Holdings provide guidance.

Tao Deronghui reported: "Judging from the order situation in the past two weeks, Yangtze Plastic Factory has been able to survive, received a lot of orders, and can generate stable profits. Of course, profits are at a low level among its peers."

Everyone understood what the boss was thinking, but no questions were raised.

Li Xiaobin also reported: "Recently since we entered the market, some plastic factories have also followed the trend and lowered their prices to avoid going bankrupt. I think there are two consequences of this: first, some people can't persist and their financial strength cannot keep up; second, some people are cheating.

, passing it off as good, affecting credibility.”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "This analysis makes sense! But what is certain is that our Yangtze River Industry will greatly reduce costs by purchasing raw materials and persist until the end. Of course, there is no rush for this. I will arrange it after a while.

, including aluminum alloy, copper and other raw materials, we will negotiate.”

Around May, Cheung Kong Holdings expects to spend HK$3 million to purchase large quantities of raw materials such as aluminum alloys, copper, and plastics to avoid being unable to purchase these at that time.

For example, the current price of 450G plastic raw materials is 1.5 Hong Kong dollars, and Lin Zhichao believes that it is possible to increase to 3 Hong Kong dollars. Changjiang Plastic Factory may not necessarily make money by reselling raw materials, but it can continue to occupy a large amount of the market by relying on the price advantage of its products.

Of course, the price of plastic products at that time was naturally much higher, but it was less than others.

Wang Liang also suggested: "More new varieties can be added to the product. Plastic products are new and have great prospects. We can refer to Cheung Kong Industrial and set up a product research and development team to be responsible for this matter."

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "Yes, Manager Tao, you can do it, but there is only one thing, that is, only products with excellent quality can be launched on the market."

"OK"

After the meeting, Lin Zhichao smiled unknowingly. Through the reports of his subordinates, he learned some interesting things. For example, although Wanhe Plastics lost a lot of orders, it did not react at all.

In this way, I'm afraid Li Jiacheng's last stop of working will not be a satisfactory one!

At the same time, judging from the current situation, when Li Jiacheng started his business, Hong Kong's plastic raw materials were skyrocketing, so it would naturally be more difficult.

As long as the Yangtze Plastic Factory takes over, everyone will be affected to some extent. Because the raw materials of the Yangtze Plastic Factory are cheap, it will naturally have many advantages.

Although it will not be a monopoly, it will at least become an industry-leading existence. In this way, it will not have to be "suffering" for five years.

Thursday, January 26th.

Lin Zhichao got the news that the two Liberty Ships he purchased will sail into the Hong Kong dock this morning, so he took his family to visit them. The two large ships of 10,000 tons are his first and second wholly-owned ships.

Obviously the meaning is different.

Except for Lin Zhichao's family and the management and staff of Global Shipping, there was no one else on the pier. Lin Zhichao was very low-key about shipping and did not want to make a big announcement about owning two 10,000-ton ships.

The simplest question is: in the first half of this year, global shipping may have been in bleak business, because there are more ships in Hong Kong and competition is fiercer; at the same time, the tonnage of the two Liberty ships is too large, and they can transport 5,000 tons at a time.

~9,000 tons of cargo, obviously it is difficult to reach full capacity.

Fortunately, it only takes a little more than half a year for global shipping to skyrocket, and during this half year, I can continue learning about shipping.

"Here it comes, the Liberty Ship has entered the port!" Someone shouted happily, and everyone looked at the sea.

A 10,000-ton Liberty Ship has sailed into the port. The gray hull is painted with the logo of Global Shipping. Its brand-new appearance and huge body (135*17*9 meters) make people in the entire port and seaside nervous.

Can't help but pause.

"What a big and new ship. Could it be that some big foreign company has purchased a new ship?"

"It's possible!"

Following the whispers on the shore, the people on the Liberty Ship had already waved to Lin Zhichao and others. Although the two Liberty Ships were sent by Williamson Company, the captain, first mate, second mate, etc., Global Shipping also sent the captain, first mate, second mate, etc.

, conduct on-site teaching.

The crew of a Liberty Ship is 44 people. Of course, for the Chinese people who can endure hardships and stand hard work, some crew members can be appropriately reduced to avoid wasting resources.

After a while, Lin Zhichao and others finally stepped onto the deck of the large freeship they had dreamed of.

"Husband, what are the names of these two ships?" Tang Caiyun couldn't help but asked excitedly as she watched her husband stand proudly on the deck.

Tang Caiying hesitated to speak. She seemed to want to say, just call her "Caiying Hao" or "Caiyun Hao".

Lin Zhichao said without hesitation: "Jin'an, Jinshan!"

Gold represents rolling wealth; An represents a safe return; mountain represents mountains of wealth.

The Chinese name is simple and easy to understand!

As for the English name, Lin Zhichao planned to use 'Golden Alphas' and 'Golden Bless' in order to facilitate memory, and the subsequent ships were named with 26 letters in sequence.

Try to use up all 26 letters in three years.

"This deck is so big!"
