Chapter 206: Is this also the case in Xiangjiang? ? ?
Wang Yuanchao and the other two were stunned. The bearded man and the black-faced man were a little scared. After all, the greatness of the mainland was beyond doubt. John followed the United States in North Korea and couldn't beat us. In Hong Kong, John could beat us?

If I had known this, why would I have bothered to come here?
The two were a little annoyed, but Wang Yuanchao was not afraid.

Since the matter has nothing to do with him, then the inertia of history is fine!
Soon, the British Hong Kong police released tear gas and wooden bullets to disperse the demonstrators and arrested 127 people.

The three of them had not come to cause trouble, and they slipped away quickly, but they were in a very complicated mood.

Back at the hotel, Wang Yuanchao asked Xiao Hei Lian to ask his cousin about his situation. When he called, his cousin's wife answered the phone and said that his cousin had gone to work, all police officers had their leave cancelled, and there should be a curfew. She also reminded them not to go out at night.

After the big parade, things seemed to quiet down outside, and everyone went to Longsheng’s factory cautiously.

Seeing Xiao Qi and others were busy, he asked them whether they had participated in the grand parade yesterday.

Xiao Qi said without even raising his head:

"Those who are marching are all employed and are protesting against low wages. For those of us who haven't earned any money for more than half a month, how dare we not cherish the job opportunities you, Boss Wang, have provided!"

A worker nearby did not stop working and said:
"They have big factories and they all have unions. How many people are there in Longsheng? Don't worry, boss. We are all skilled workers!"

Listen, this is a clever one!
After everyone put all the parts in place, they started working in front of Boss Wang.

The boss didn't come yesterday, so they installed and dismantled it again, because the boss said that the installation had to be done in front of him.

But Wang Yuanchao said that yesterday's salary would be calculated as usual.

Everyone felt even happier.

Wang Yuanchao had to watch them install the parts in person, that is, to observe how they placed the various parts and what order they installed them in. He would definitely be working on an assembly line later, so the process would be particularly important.

They installed and dismantled, dismantled and installed, and also installed and tested it.

Then Wang Yuanchao kept the fans on to see how long they could run before they broke down. He even arranged for someone to be on duty, just to keep the fans on all the time. It was really cool.

Various debugging is going on in the Longsheng factory.

Mr. Longsheng, the boss, has contacted many companies in the same industry. No matter how much everyone promises, they can only come up with a production capacity of 4 blades. Not to mention that it is just an intention, no one dares to expand the production capacity. Let's take a look at the situation outside!
The situation outside is a bit complicated now. Otherwise, if everyone works together and recruits more people, 5, 6, or 8 people, it is not impossible to break through, right?

Each company started by submitting samples. Not only that, Wang Yuanchao also took people to visit other companies' production sites and chat with their workers, almost treating these factories and workshops as his own.

All aspects must be qualified before large-scale production can begin. Even if Wang Yuanchao gets something for nothing, he still has to pay a large deposit. That's all real money!
Who knows if Shell will also compete with him on price?

The product must be qualified first before it can be qualified to compete with Shell!

However, the situation outside is getting worse.

On the 16th, hundreds of people went to the Governor's Palace to protest.

So even with 4 blades, the number is constantly decreasing. Some timid small bosses even started planning to run away. How can they still produce a Kuner?

Plans really don't change as fast as they should.

However, Wang Yuanchao still firmly did not look favorably upon their activities.

He knows the history of the mainland's influence on Hong Kong.

On May 5, Zhonghuan also became lively.

Afterwards, the airport and the port also became busy and many people began to evacuate.

Wang Yuanchao had talked to real estate agents everywhere before, looking for a suitable factory. He had to rent a site, and he also needed a factory for assembly.

Then an agent came to recommend a factory to him and strongly recommended the Qi'ai Building not far away.

This is the largest plastic flower factory, ZA (Zunino Altman), founded by the American brothers Rothstein.

In 67, the plastic flower business was already in a bad state. At the beginning of the year, the younger brother of the Rothstein brothers, who was in charge of this business, died of a heart attack. In addition, the movement that had just broken out started from the plastic flower factory in San Po Kong. With a multi-pronged approach, ZA closed down directly.

The controlling shareholder Revlon decided to sell the Qi Ai Building.

Because of the sports craze outside right now, there are big sales with huge price cuts!
The building is 10 stories high, with the lower 7 floors each covering 800 square meters and the upper 3 floors each covering 500 square meters. The building was built in 61. Not to mention the highest price, the original cost of the land and the house was 200 million!
The market price in 65 is 600 million!

Of course, last year, affected by the bank run in 65, residential properties fell by half, and commercial and industrial real estate fell even more.

But now all the equipment is free! Only 200 million!
To put it bluntly, if you sell the equipment inside, it could be worth hundreds of thousands!
This is the world’s largest plastic flower factory, even bigger than Li Ka-shing’s plastic flower factory!

This price instantly gave Wang Yuanchao an impulse to buy it. If the house price went up, he would probably earn more than what he could earn from industrial business.

But the time has not come yet, and the situation outside is still chaotic, so the price will not go up.

You haven't even bargained yet, right? The main reason is that Wang Yuanchao doesn't have enough money to buy it.

If you carefully count his 400-plus kilograms of gold, it would be 6940 ounces. One ounce is 31.25 grams, 1 ounce of gold is 31.1035 grams, and 35 ounce is US$1, so this batch of gold is about 6972 ounces of gold.

If I sold all of them, it would only be over 24 US dollars, or over 139 million Hong Kong dollars, not counting the handling fee. After deducting the handling fee, even if it was just one point, I would still feel heartbroken.

Even if we add the more than 20 Hong Kong dollars contributed by the human traffickers and the fat man, it is still not enough.

Really, I thought I was very rich.

So Wang Yuanchao resolutely told the agent:

“Let’s wait and see.

Besides, there are crowds of people outside now. Even if we buy this factory, we won’t be able to start production for a while. Aren’t you afraid of being attacked?
I couldn’t even imagine being hit by so many workers in the plastic flower factory.”

The agent thought Wang Yuanchao knew about Li Ka-shing's plastic flower factory, so he honestly agreed:
“It’s true. Big boss Li Ka-shing’s entire family fled to Singapore, and his factory was almost bombed.

Plus, ZA’s business was not good and they kept laying off employees, otherwise the factory wouldn’t be sold at such a low price. Even the equipment inside was given to the next buyer.

Of course, the main thing is, they can’t take it away.”

Then the agent offered to help find other suitable vacant factories.

Li Ka-shing!

Who doesn’t know that Superman Li made his fortune from the plastic flower business!
He actually ran away to Singapore?

When the agent mentioned Li Ka-shing, Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but want to copy his homework, leaving him with nowhere to go. This guy doesn't love his country! He only loves money! A pure businessman!
He is not Wang Yuanchao!

After the agent left, Wang Yuanchao went to see the closed door of the ZA Qi'ai Building and drooled with envy.

No wonder I saw the parading crowd as soon as I walked out of the hotel. It turned out that there was the world's largest plastic flower factory nearby... It is said that at its peak, there were several thousand to nearly ten thousand workers!
Compared with the hundreds of workers at Shell Electric, it’s ten times!

Wang Yuanchao secretly made up his mind that he must take advantage of the devaluation of the pound in November.
-
In June, the situation continued to deteriorate, at the junction of Xiangjiang and Pengcheng,...

Despite this, the colonial authorities also withstood the pressure. They couldn't follow Portugal's example, could they? Would John's empire still have any face? If they didn't fight and Hong Kong was returned, John would have no way to explain himself!
A relatively medium-sized electric fan factory was preparing to run away and was willing to sell its factory and equipment to Wang Yuanchao, the big boss behind the scenes who was still holding on, at 3% off the market price, for 10 yuan.

3% off the market price? 10?
Even with 10 soldiers, Wang Yuanchao would not enter.

Cash is too precious to him at the moment!
He also needs to use this cash to pay deposits to various suppliers!

However, he said he was willing to rent someone else's site and he only needed to assemble it. The Qi'ai Building was too big, so the agent was just trying to sell it to every boss he met.

There is a huge gap between bosses, okay!

He has gold in his hands and is going to make a big splash in November, so it is impossible for him to invest too much at this time.

The more panicked others are, the more he needs to calm down.

He also visited this medium-sized factory, which occupies two floors and has an area of ​​800 square meters. In fact, as his assembly plant, 200 square meters is more than enough, and the production capacity is there!

Ceiling fan! No large blades, very small footprint!

Now the suppliers are still in the process of running in, and the estimated assembly output is only about 1 units per month, or 300 units per day!
300 units! How much space do you need?
The factory could not be sold for a while, and the factory owner and his family had already bought their boat tickets to leave. In response to Wang Yuanchao's proposal for partial leasing, he finally made a suggestion:
The factory price was set as high as possible. Wang Yuanchao paid the down payment, and the factory owner not only paid him a full salary, but also paid three years of rent. Later, Wang Yuanchao paid back the loan every month, which was about the same as the rent. If he wanted the factory, he would pay it back in full. If he didn't want the factory anymore, he would just go bankrupt and stop paying the loan.

Everyone gets what they want.

The boss has to handle the bank relationship himself.

In this way, Wang Yuanchao does not have to spend any money, he still has to pay rent, but the factory owner can get a discounted total house price.

I took out a loan to buy this factory without spending a penny, it’s basically a negative down payment!

Wang Yuanchao had to admire these bosses for their creative thinking. Isn't this just a yin-yang contract to get a bank loan?
In this case, he had no reason to refuse. He wanted to rent a factory in the first place.

Moreover, the factory is so big that we can solve the accommodation problem for the time being, so we can live in the factory.

Why did the bank agree to lend?
Hong Kong dollars, which will be restricted from being exchanged for pounds, John is not stupid, right?
Whether it is kept in hand or taken away, if Hong Kong is really recovered, the Hong Kong dollar will become invalid.

If the loans are not recovered, the bank can continue its business. If the loans are recovered, the bank has mortgaged assets on hand. It is better than "contributing" Hong Kong dollars which are like waste paper, right?

Therefore, banks are still willing to lend money for Hong Kong dollars that cannot be lost, but they will not lend on all assets. There are still some choices.
