Chapter 207 The First Factory DB (Sincere thanks + request for votes)
Since the factory owner was responsible for settling the matter with the bank and offering three years' rent, Wang Yuanchao said he would go find a lawyer.
He would pay the lawyer's fee, after all, the lawyer was responsible for him, wasn't he? Wang Yuanchao was worried that there was something wrong with the contract. He was unfamiliar with Hong Kong and didn't understand the legal provisions.
He didn't have any connections in this area in Hong Kong, but because he had to deal with various supplier factories, everyone came together and recommended Zhou Qibang Law Firm, which was truly a good value for money.
This law firm was established only in 64, and its owners are a young couple who just returned from studying abroad in Johnsburg.
The name Zhou Qibang may be ordinary, but his father, Zhou Xinian, has a long list of titles that are scary.
In May 1939, he was appointed Justice of the Peace.
In 1941, he became the chairman of the Po Leung Kuk.
In 1946, he served as an unofficial member of the Legislative Council. In the same year, he served as Chief Education Commissioner, member of the Selection Committee of John's University, and Chairman of the Hong Kong Anti-Corruption Association.
In 1947, he served as an unofficial member of the Executive Council.
In 1950, he was awarded the C.B.E. medal by the John government.
In 1953, he was appointed Chief Unofficial Member of the Legislative Council. In the same year, he was appointed Chairman of the Hong Kong Branch of the John Federal Parliamentary Association.
He founded the Hong Kong Chinese Bank in 1955 and served as its chairman.
In 1956, he became a director of the University of Hong Kong.
In 1959, he served as the Chief Non-official Member of the Executive Council, and served as Chairman of the United College and Chairman of the Hong Kong Industrial Association.
In 1960, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
In 1961, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Hong Kong University.
In 1965, he was elected as a director of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and became a director of the Chinese Jockey Club.
……
That is to say, Zhou Qibang has an older brother, and he has no intention of competing with his brother for the family property. He and his wife went out to work in a law firm, and because they are young, the law firm's fees are relatively cheap.
The suppliers collectively found such a law firm, so they were not afraid that Wang Yuanchao would set a trap. They were also worried that Wang Yuanchao was a pawn of the gang. The gang might be able to rob them, but what if he was willing to cheat? They still had to be on guard.
Even Lu Le has to be as submissive as a dog in front of the Zhou family.
For the "Lü Loks" with wealthy families and powers, if you don't take the powerful seriously, then the powerful will take you seriously; if you don't put the powerful on a high pedestal, then the powerful will put you on the altar.
Zhou Qibang Law Firm, worth it!
However, Wang Yuanchao has not signed the contract with the supplier yet, and his factory is still not settled!
Zhou Qibang even personally came from Hong Kong Island by boat to see who dared to buy the factory at this time. Even his father Zhou Xinian has been going to Taiwan every now and then!
Even he, his own son, doesn't know whether his father is preparing to run away!
Without informing him in advance.
Even though his family business isn't huge, he still has to sort it out, doesn't he?
Every penny was earned by him and his wife.
He asked his eldest brother, and his eldest brother just told him to run his law firm well and would notify him if there was any problem.
It’s true, Er’er has no human rights.
Wang Yuanchao personally drove to the dock to pick people up, and Shi Zhen was holding a sign that read "Lawyer Zhou".
From a distance, I saw a man with long hair, exquisite clothes and a tie in this season. He was followed by a little follower carrying a bag. He looked around and walked straight towards me.
This is the Beatles style!
Wang Yuanchao took a step forward:
"Lawyer Zhou?"
The man in the suit laughed and said:
"Boss Wang?"
The two men shook hands with a smile. Wang Yuanchao personally opened the car door for Zhou Qibang and invited him to get in.
Zhou Qibang took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said:
"Mr. Wang, this is the worst car I've ever taken in Hong Kong. It doesn't even have air conditioning!"
Indeed, it is the whistling wind that takes away the heat from your body.
Zhou Qibang felt a little regretful. If he had known he would drive here earlier, if he hadn't been worried that his luxury car would be too high-profile. The recent atmosphere, isn't it suitable, right?
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
“So I need Mr. Zhou’s help to finalize the big order so that I can change the car!”
Zhou Qibang smiled:
"Mr. Wang is ambitious. A 9000-square-foot factory is also a big order! I'm not making fun of you. We rely on ourselves. It's not easy to get such a big factory.
But now everyone is selling, so is Wang Sheng so bold to gamble?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Poor people don't dare to gamble. Do they expect pie to fall from the sky? If pie really falls, I'm afraid it will be poisonous or have hooks! If you don't want to be poor, you have no choice but to gamble."
Zhou Qibang laughed:
“Although my business is not big, I see a lot of people, and Wang Sheng doesn’t look like that kind of gambler.
The gambler's words are not as profound as Wang Sheng's!
Mr. Wang is optimistic about the development of Hong Kong? "
It's so hot today, if we don't chat, Zhou Qibang will probably curse loudly. It's really not easy to make some money. If Wang Yuanchao can't explain something, he will really beat this guy up and make him die of heat!
Do you really think he is a small lawyer?
His father’s license plate number is 3!
His family lives on the top of the mountain!
Wang Yuanchao felt that the other party was asking so persistently that it would be difficult to fool him, even though the other party was asking with a smile.
Listen to what others say, this is the worst car they have ever ridden in, it doesn’t even have air conditioning!
Although doctors and lawyers are the most prestigious professions in Hong Kong, Zhou Qibang is so young and his law firm has only been open for three years. It is impossible for him to have accumulated so much wealth, right?
Moreover, these days, those who can return from studying abroad must come from unusual families.
So, he has a very good family background!
I don’t know where those suppliers found such a law firm.
But why would Wang Yuanchao open a law firm with such a family background?
If you put yourself in his shoes, you will find that Zhou Qibang is a very well-educated person!
So he said:
"The 16-nation coalition of the United States was defeated. Is John's army more powerful than that of the United States?
No one would take off their pants to fart, it's a waste of time.
It’s just that many people were scared by the newspapers, so they sold their stocks at a discount.
This is a rare opportunity to make a fortune. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity."
Zhou Qibang chuckled twice and said:
"John's Royal Navy is quite powerful. They even have aircraft carriers."
Wang Yuanchao shook his head and said:
"The Pengcheng River is not wider than the Yalu River. The United States had a coalition of 16 nations and many aircraft carriers. At that time, the United States was clamoring to use Fatty and Little Boy!" Zhou Qibang was uncomfortable and twisted his buttocks, saying:
"Mr. Wang, you really should change your car as soon as possible. My suit is all ruined by sweat stains! The lawyer fee I earned from you is not even enough to pay for my suit!"
Wang Yuanchao thought, indeed, for rich people, their clothes are more expensive than their lawyer fees! He laughed and said:
"When my business is on track, I'll give Lawyer Zhou a few gifts!"
Zhou Qibang smiled and said:
"I earned your lawyer fees, why would I need you to give me money? But if what you said is true, I can invest and buy at the bottom myself.
However, there was no idea of recovering Hong Kong at the beginning, so there is no guarantee that it will not change now, right?
As for people, who isn’t fickle?
Look at how many people are running to Xiangjiang to avoid the disaster.
Zhou Qibang also looked at Wang Yuanchao, meaning: You, young man, have also come to Hong Kong, are you here to escape the disaster?
This is the truth! Most people can't refute it. But Wang Yuanchao knows history, which is his biggest reliance. Knowing the result, and reasoning backwards, isn't it just a random statement?
If he can't find excuses after knowing the result, he won't be able to convince others to do great things.
In the previous life, designers of decoration companies also had to work part-time as decoration salesmen, so observing people's words and expressions was a basic skill.
He can talk about the macro-environment of the international situation, such as the confrontation between the bear and the eagle, in which they pull their younger brothers around the world to confront each other, even fighting each other, and the undercurrents, and then talk about the micro-environment of a country, a place, a city, and an individual, and even talk about the value and significance of preserving Hong Kong as a bridgehead and transit station.
"
……
As the saying goes, "A frog in a well cannot talk about the sea because it is bound by the void; a summer insect cannot talk about ice because it is bound by time; a crooked man cannot talk about the Tao because he is bound by teachings." Therefore, as ordinary people, we can only go with the flow.
……
"
Zhou Qibang was confused by what he heard. It all seemed to make sense. He might not understand the other parts, but he understood that summer insects cannot talk about ice. The effect of this was just like the emperor's new clothes. But he still wondered:
"What is the situation in the mainland now? Mr. Wang knows that Hong Kong is also like this. What do you say?"
Wang Yuanchao analyzed it in detail and pretended to be nonchalant:
"In the world, the east wind overwhelms the west wind, but it is not always the west wind that overwhelms the east wind. The wind pressure comes and goes, but there must be a balance. The turmoil in various places now is the pursuit of this balance. As for ordinary people, we float in the balance. If we can find that glimmer of opportunity, our achievements will be limitless."
Zhou Qibang probably understood. Anyway, Wang Sheng's judgment was that Hong Kong was a balanced place and very safe, so he grinned and said:
"Mr. Wang is very courageous. He dares to go with the trend of the times!"
Wang Yuanchao was not afraid either, and said:
"It's just about cultivating oneself and managing the family. Zhou Dalu, we're here!"
Before Wang Yuanchao got out of the car to open the door for Zhou Qibang, Zhou Qibang had already opened the door and walked out. His shirt was wet and stuck to his body.
He said to Wang Yuanchao:
"Wang Sheng still has a strong gambling habit!"
Wang Yuanchao's reasons could not convince him.
Just one idea of his father Zhou Xinian could decide the livelihoods of many of his employees and their families. However, his father was not the top person in Hong Kong. Those at the top in Hong Kong were all Chinese.
And Hong Kong is just such a tiny place.
Therefore, Hong Kong itself, or even the people of Hong Kong, cannot completely determine the prosperity and survival of Hong Kong.
My father fled to Yizhou to prepare a way out.
Having said that, he felt that there was nothing wrong in taking a gamble.
His family doesn't need this little bit of property.
If he loses the bet, he can go back and call his father "good dad" a few times. His father will give him some money, and he will not have to worry about food and clothing, and he will still be a rich young man.
Having won the bet, his eyes lit up. That meant he was the Zhou family’s talented child, right?
He didn't fight with his eldest brother for the family property, but at the beginning of this year, his mother passed away and clearly stated that her estate could only be transferred and processed with the signatures of his father, eldest brother and him! In other words, after his father passed away, in theory, the estate would be divided equally between him and his eldest brother, right?
The eldest brother is in charge of the management, but what belongs to him must belong to him.
If he won the bet, the eldest brother would definitely not dare to take his share.
The eldest brother is nice to him now because he has his father above him!
If dad is no longer able to do his job or is even gone, will the eldest brother change?
People are fickle!
Your parents will help you walk, you can only rely on yourself.
Wang Yuanchao, a Hong Kong runner, has such a small fortune, but he dares to risk it all. His wealth is much greater than Wang Sheng's. If he succeeds, who can still say that he relies on his father for a living? His father is even preparing to retreat!
Zhou Qibang's heart was as warm as the weather outside.
……
The factory owner was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that the lawyer Wang Sheng hired was Zhou Qibang.
It was Zhou Qibang who was recommended to Wang Sheng by their group.
In order to buy a factory worth 10 yuan, Wang Sheng was willing to ask Zhou Qibang to help. I really don’t know what to say!
Because the connection he was looking for was through a Chinese bank.
The general manager of the Chinese Bank is Zhou Qixian, Zhou Qibang’s elder brother.
This is someone else’s industry!
This is trying to take someone's skin in front of the tiger!
It would be fine if Mr. Wang repaid the loan on time, but if he announced that he would stop paying, the Chinese Bank would be the one that suffered the loss.
But at this moment, the bank people are also there and everything has been arranged. It is really difficult to back down from this situation.
The factory owner was sweating profusely and kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. The whirring electric fan was of no use at all.
Sure enough, the moment Zhou Qibang saw the contract, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
But he said nothing.
I just used my professionalism to help Wang Yuanchao review and finalize the contract and matters needing attention. I have very professional ethics.
The process can only be described as a safe one.
-
It was not until the factory transfer was completed and the payment was received that the boss gave Wang Yuanchao a thumbs up, and Wang Yuanchao also learned Zhou Qibang's true identity.
This person is good and worth dating!
Wang Yuanchao immediately invited Zhou Qibang Law Firm to serve as the legal advisor for his new company.
Zhou Qibang certainly would not refuse the law firm's many businesses. He was just curious about Wang Yuanchao. He would not personally handle many businesses.
Accompanied by a lawyer from the law firm, Wang Yuanchao immediately went to register the company.
Shenlan Electric Appliance Factory, yes, the name is Shenlan, which doesn’t give people the feeling that it has any stance.
The trademark is the English abbreviation: DB
The Hong Kong authorities strongly supported the companies that were willing to set up factories at this time and did not have any difficulty at all. Of course, this was not because the factory's legal advisory firm was Zhou Qibang Law Firm.
