Chapter 326 Where to start?
"Haha, the three sisters-in-law are prettier than before, aren't they?"
Mr. Huo had met the three girls in the capital, and at this moment he showed his hospitality as a host, making a joke of his own: "De Ming is better than my brother in other places, but he is still a little behind me in this aspect."
Zhang Shouchun glanced at Wang Deming, teasing him with a hint of sadness, "Brother Dong, you don't know that Deming has a girl in the Soviet Union. You never know when she'll come over to find you."
"Oh?" Mr. Huo was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed and said, "Well, it seems that there is still no difference."
"Come on, let's sit down and talk. Lei Ting, take your sister and brother to play together."
"Okay, Daddy."
Lei Ting was still very handsome at this time, wearing a small suit and a bow tie, looking very gentlemanly. He took the children and the maid who took care of them to the amusement facilities at home.
Mrs. Huo took the initiative to take the three women to another area in the living room to chat about some female topics, while Mr. Huo chatted with Wang Deming about the previous topic under the parasol in the manor.
"De Ming, I can't tell you about the current local economic development in Hong Kong, but I can tell you which people are making money in which industries."
"Oh, I'd love to hear the details."
"You own a considerable proportion of shares in both Nanfeng Textile Factory owned by Chen Tinghua and Taiping Woolen Mill owned by Cao Guangbiao. Not only these two textile mills, but there are thousands of textile mills of all sizes in Hong Kong, and they are all doing very well." Mr. Huo started by talking about the factories that Wang Deming had invested in:
"Last year, two relatively large spinning mills were established. The Jiafeng Spinning Mill founded by Mr. Bao's classmate Zhao Anzhong and the New Territories Spinning Mill founded by Haining Cha Jimin are also doing very well. A rough estimate is that Hong Kong can produce 4 to 50 spindles of cotton yarn this year."
"Let's not talk about shipping. You have already invested in Mr. Bao's Universal Shipping and Mr. Dong's Orient Overseas. As for Mr. Lin's shipping company, you didn't take a fancy to it at first. The shipping industry has developed rapidly in recent years, with more than a dozen oil tankers and cargo ships than before. "
“Among them, perhaps the one you haven’t paid attention to before is the plastics industry?”
"Plastic flowers? Changjiang plastic flowers?" When Mr. Huo mentioned plastic, Wang Deming immediately remembered Li Bancheng's rise to fame, marrying his beautiful, wealthy cousin and inheriting his father-in-law's plastic factory.
Mr. Huo was stunned and asked incredulously: "Do you know the Yangtze River plastic flower?"
"Haha, I've heard a little bit about it, Brother Dong, please continue."
"Well, in addition to Li Bancheng's Changjiang Plastic Factory in Shau Kei Wan, there is also Tin Ka Ping's Tin Chemical in Tuen Mun, and Wong Po Yan's Lianqiao Enterprise, all of which specialize in the production of plastics. Now they make at least tens of millions a year."
"Finally, it's real estate. You will also get a share of my Huo Family Business Hall."
"So." Mr. Huo looked at Wang Deming questioningly: "Deming, think carefully about which business to start with? I think the best one is textiles or plastics, and then develop real estate with me."
Wang Deming shook his head, looked at the three women in the living room, and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, you know that I studied medicine, why didn't you think about medicine?"
Mr. Huo had never really thought about this. He immediately asked in confusion, "De Ming, I know you are a Chinese medicine doctor with a very high level of expertise. But you already have more than a dozen Chinese medicine pharmacies in Hong Kong. Do you want to continue to run them?"
"Of course you can, but have you ever thought about opening a dozen more at most?"
"Haha," Wang Deming rubbed his nose, "Brother Dong, didn't I tell you? In fact, my Western medicine skills are better than Chinese medicine skills. And I can say without any pride that at this moment, all the doctors in the West put together probably don't have as high a level as me."
"Uh..." Mr. Huo was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. How bold must one be to say such a thing?
Facing Mr. Huo's questioning, Wang Deming smiled and did not explain. How to explain? In his previous life, he studied for a bachelor's and master's degree, studied modern medicine for 7 years, and then worked as a resident in a large tertiary hospital, and then died suddenly?
"So you're planning to open a Western medicine clinic? Well, that's also a very good business." Mr. Huo said this insincerely, mainly to save Wang Deming's face, "After all, most people can't afford to see a doctor now."
"Brother Dong, have you heard of the Mayo Clinic? Although it's called a clinic, it's actually a hospital."
"Private hospital? Like St. Mary's Hospital? That would cost a lot of money!"
"We have plenty of money, don't we?"
"Too."
At this time, the housekeeper brought people to prepare the dishes, and Mrs. Huo called them to the table to eat together.
The previous long dining table has been turned into a large round table. After the two families sat down, the housekeeper brought the maid to help distribute the food while they continued to chat.
However, the topic of conversation turned to Zhang Shouchun and the other two. Are they planning to be a wealthy lady in Hong Kong, playing mahjong for fun, or go out and find a job?
"Of course I have to go out and do things." Zhang Shouchun wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and said as a matter of course: "The teacher comrades asked us to liberate women and said that women can hold up half the sky. Apart from physical strength, what are we inferior to male comrades in?"
"However, we haven't decided what to do yet. But Xiaoru can go back to her old job and start as a tailor."
"Oh, Xiaoru can also make clothes?" Mrs. Huo was a little surprised.
"Well," Qin Huairu smiled slightly, "I work as a seamstress in the capital, and Shouchun and Yuqing work as accountants."
"Then you can come to our Huo Yexing Hall to work as an accountant?" Mrs. Huo immediately made a decision for Mr. Huo. "Having two sisters to help sort out the accounts of our family's property is definitely much better than having outsiders."
"Haha, Yanni, don't worry about Shouchun and the others coming to our company. They may not be able to handle their own work."
"Hmm." Qin Huairu, Zhang Shouchun and Jin Yuqing looked at Wang Deming at the same time.
"Ah, brothers and sisters, don't you know about our family's business in Hong Kong?" Mr. Huo asked curiously.
"Isn't this just our first day in Hong Kong? I haven't had time to talk yet."
Then Wang Deming told them about his business in Hong Kong and asked them what they thought. Did they want to learn from the company where he had invested or just give them money and let them try it out first?
All three girls chose the former, or went to the companies in which their families held shares to learn first. After a brief discussion, the three girls decided that Zhang Shouchun would go to the shipping business of Global Group and Orient Overseas Container Line, staying there for one or two years respectively; Jin Yuqing would go to the Huo family's company to learn about real estate, and later take over all of Wang Deming's real estate business in Hong Kong; and Qin Huairu would choose Nan Fung Spinning Mill and Taiping Woolen Mill to engage in the textile industry.
Mr. Huo laughed: "Deming, it's a good thing you have three brothers and sisters, otherwise you wouldn't be able to handle the business under your name."
"Oh, I'm really too busy. There's no one going to the chain Chinese medicine store and the beverage factory. Do you want to call your Soviet girl over as well? Haha."
