Chapter 121 [What a God]

Lin Zhichao came to visit Fu Wo Hong. This is a Central office building with only 300 square feet. It is a part separated by a second-hand landlord. As for the staff, there are only five people in total including the two bosses.

Of course, this does not mean that Fu Wo Hong only has five employees, because many employees at Fu Wo Hong are outside.

"It seems that the new business of Fuhe Bank is on the right track. Everyone is very busy!" Lin Zhichao declined the seat. The place was too small and it was not easy to drink a glass of water.

Huang Tinggui said with a smile: "It can only be said that it is a difficult business. There are too many people doing the trade between the Mainland and Hong Kong, and the competition is fierce. But because there are so many people doing it, there is no risk, it is very stable, and it is a good business.

"

The trade between the Mainland and Hong Kong not only did not become smaller because of the founding of New China, but on the contrary became busier; because of the new country, many things (light industry) needed to be imported from Hong Kong; at the same time, a large amount of goods (agricultural products)

etc.) and trade from China through Hong Kong.

Last year, the import and export trade between Hong Kong and the mainland accounted for about 20% to 23% of Hong Kong's total import and export; then this year, the figure should be about 30%.

Lin Zhichao would not instruct Li Gaofu to stock up on goods, nor would he instruct him to trade with the other side. With Li Gaofu's current wealth and status, he should have his own opinions on everything he does.

"Well, stability is good. By the way, I'm here to inform you that you need to establish a new shipping company and then purchase the Wanhe Shipping ship next month. Are there any problems with your funds?"

According to regulations, Fuhe Bank should give Lin Zhichao US$100,000 (or HK$565,000) to buy 50% of his shares.

For the last intermediary fee for selling a zipper rice arranging machine, Li Gaofu allocated the commission under the name of the company "Fu He Xing", which impressed Huang Tinggui. Logically speaking, this money could be used as a personal commission, but Li Gaofu did not

It is intended to be used as funds for the purchase of ships by Fu He Xing.

As for the 'Oriental Trader' account, it has already divided the profit of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars for the two partners; if it ends at the end of May, the two companies can still divide 40,000 to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. It is obviously that the operation is pretty good, and it has been less than two years.

You can earn back a boat.

Li Gaofu immediately said: "There is no problem with the funds, we will pay them all on time!"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said nothing else. The funds of Fuhe Bank must be tight. After all, they still have to do trading business. However, Li Gaofu and Huang Tinggui have their own assets, and the bank can also provide loans to traders. The difference is so

A little bit is no problem.

He doesn't need to worry about others, he only needs to get back his one hundred thousand US dollars. In this way, the ship also makes him a profit of 250,000 US dollars in dividends.

After that, Lin Zhichao left.

Huang Tinggui then said to Li Gaofu: "If we collect 565,000 Hong Kong dollars, Fuhe Bank will only have 70,000 to 80,000 in assets. If the trade exhibition cannot be launched, it will need at least another 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in capital injection. In this way, we will inject another 100,000 Hong Kong dollars based on shares.

Hong Kong dollars come in. I know Brother Gao Fu is not rich, so I will lend you 60,000 Hong Kong dollars first."

Li Gaofu immediately patted Huang Tinggui on the shoulder and said, "Thank you!"

Huang Tinggui said with a smile: "Your agency fee is altruistically paid to the company, so it doesn't matter to me."

Afterwards, the two of them laughed. This kind of concerted effort can make the company go longer.

At this time, Fuhe Bank is on the right track in all aspects. If it takes all the shares of "Oriental Trader", it will be equivalent to Fuhe Bank having two businesses. Among them, the trading part can now earn about 12 yuan a year.

~150,000, Eastern traders can earn four to five million a year.

Both of them are very much looking forward to their next careers, which means they have finally stabilized.

Lin Zhichao, who returned to Global Shipping, sat in his office and looked through the financial ledgers to calculate the financial situation of Global Shipping.

He took back the dividends from Oriental Trader to Global Shipping, which he used as working capital, and there was still a lot left; Oriental Trader was sold to Fuhe Bank in late May, and Global Shipping could get back US$100,000; Jin'an, Jinshan

The account was operated until late May, and it seemed to have made a profit of 100,000 US dollars.

As a result, Global Shipping had more than US$1 million in funds in late May, enough to buy two second-hand cargo ships of 10,000 tons level.

Nowadays, Global Shipping has no strength and can only buy cargo ships.

Oil tankers are not something small companies can play with. The first is the risk. Once leaked, a small company will lose everything. The second is the investment. Oil tankers are more expensive than cargo ships. A 15,000-ton oil tanker is considered a small oil tanker, entry-level.

It is said that Lin Zhichao has no plans to get involved in oil tanker transportation yet, but he could make a big bet in 1955 and make a fortune the next year, with oil tanker freight rates soaring several times.

After closing the ledger, Lin Zhichao thought about going to London to buy a ship in late May.

In this way, Lin Zhichao's funds were occupied, and naturally he would not get involved in the supplies for the Peninsular Campaign.

It’s also a good thing not to make that money:

First, avoid being said to be a profiteer. If you make more money, you are a profiteer. If you are accused of selling fake goods, you will not be able to clean yourself up even if you jump into the Yellow River. After all, Lin Zhichao does not have much ability to analyze goods.

Second, Lin Zhichao is worried about being sanctioned by the United States. This is very important. If he could not become a world businessman, how would he invest in the motherland in the 1980s? So it is very important to protect yourself.

Therefore, it is better for him to make money steadily.

If we talk about contribution, he also supports a potential big smuggler. Li Gaofu and Huang Tinggui don't have much money now. They have a thousand-ton ship that can ship towards the peninsula. They are also familiar with the trade between Hong Kong and Macao and can smuggle goods to Austria.

Both are ways to make money, but the chances of taking risks are still very high.

In the three-year transportation career of the airship, it only made 3 to 4 million Hong Kong dollars. The freighter "Oriental Trader" of Fuhe Line only needs to make one trip to the north, which is a profit of about 100,000 to 120,000 US dollars. After two trips,

That's the price of a boat.

Of course, there is a problem with running a ship. For example, if the value of the goods on the ship is 100,000 US dollars, you will have to pay a deposit of the same amount. After you successfully transport the goods, the deposit will be returned to you and the freight will be settled.

As for the airship type, the cost of shipping from Hong Kong to the mainland is generally 5 to 20% of the price of the goods; the freight of black iron sheets can reach 20% of the goods, and that of western medicine is only 5% of the goods.

After getting rid of the envious thoughts in his mind, Lin Zhichao finally calmed down. With his wealth, there was no need to take risks.

Mid May.

Lin Zhichao came to the warehouse of Cheung Kong Holdings and looked at the mountains of raw materials, and he suddenly felt very good.

The raw materials purchased for HK$3 million this time have all been moved into warehouses. In addition to the Tsuen Wan warehouse, there are also three warehouses on Paterson Street in Causeway Bay.

Of course, it seems that there are a lot of raw materials, but in fact it is only enough for one year, or even less than one year. Because of this, the factory in Xingdao is particularly important. It is a key step in the import and export of raw materials and the export of zippers to the United States.

At the same time, until the first half of next year, Lin Zhichao will not be able to use the funds on the books of Cheung Kong Holdings, because as long as there is excess funds, Cheung Kong Holdings needs to continue to purchase raw materials.

After it is confirmed that the Sing Tao factory can import raw materials, funds will be withdrawn to buy the real estate industry at the bottom.

"Uncle, you have to take care of these materials. You can't keep the accounts unclear and make random withdrawals, and you can't keep them improperly, causing damage to the goods." Lin Zhichao said to his uncle Lin Yunjie beside him.

Lin Yunjie is Lin Zhichao's biological uncle. He is in his early forties. He attended private schools for many years and worked as a bookkeeper, and later became a rich farmer in the countryside.

Lin Zhichao's father, Lin Yunchu, died of illness in the late stages of the Anti-Japanese War; above him, Lin Zhichao also had two aunts, but they did not talk about marrying outside and had little contact with them.

Lin Yunjie has two sons and a daughter, and is currently sent to Kowloon by Lin Zhichao to study. Originally, Lin Yunjie was doing well in the mainland, but it was Lin Zhichao who took the initiative to write letters to persuade him to come to Hong Kong.

When he arrived in Hong Kong, he only worked at Cheung Kong Industries with a monthly salary of 150 yuan. He lived in a 300-square-foot cubicle rented by Lin Zhichao. He didn't have any special care, but he still took care of their family. This was Lin Zhichao testing Lin Yunjie's personality.

If Lin Yunjie is aggrieved and regards himself as Lin Zhichao's uncle in Cheung Kong Industries, doing things secretly and cheating, and speaking ill of him behind his back. Then I'm sorry, Lin Zhichao can fire you directly, and it doesn't matter whether he recognizes this kinship or not.

"Don't worry, Zhichao, I will act in accordance with the company's rules and regulations, so as not to delay production and manage the warehouse reasonably." Lin Yunjie said seriously.

He never complained about his nephew's actions. On the contrary, he was already grateful for just sending his three children to study. He never thought too much about his nephew supporting a distant cousin. He himself planned to live in peace and stability.

After working all his life, he placed his hopes more on his children.

Of course, recently, my nephew talked to me and told me that he had performed well and would appoint him as the person in charge of warehouse storage, and his salary would be increased to 260 yuan. Naturally, he was very happy and felt that he had a heavy responsibility.

Lin Zhichao encouraged: "I feel relieved to have you in charge of this department! In your spare time, if you study more and read more, and you can use your own family, I will definitely give it priority."

There are also a lot of things in the warehouse. Lin Yunjie has been practicing for a year, and Lin Zhichao has been observing.

Lin Yunjie instantly ignited hope. His nephew's career was so big, and if he continued to make progress, he would not stop being the person in charge of the warehouse. Although he wanted to work for the rest of his life, there were naturally high-level part-time workers.

"Yeah," Lin Yunjie replied seriously, without any meaningless guarantee.

Afterwards, Lin Zhichao walked towards the office, and Lin Yunjie also returned to his post.

Sham Shui Po once again welcomed John, a South African clothing wholesaler. This time he was finally caught by Lai Yan Garment Factory. Lin Baixin quickly invited him to inspect the factory.

At this time, news had spread among the Hong Kong garment industry that the Yangtze River Garment Factory had doubled in size due to orders from Africa.

How could Lin Baixin not be envious of this!

Of course, there are still many stubborn garment factories that feel that African merchants are just playing a long game and fishing for big fish.

However, Lin Baixin has always believed that orders from Africa are definitely a window for breakthroughs in Hong Kong's garment industry; and as long as an African businessman chooses Hong Kong's garment manufacturing, more and more African orders will fly to Hong Kong.

This was his chance, even though the opportunity had already been taken.

"Mr. John, we can produce shirts, t-shirts, and trousers. Our Lai Yan Garment Factory has nearly 200 workers. We are the largest and most powerful garment factory in Hong Kong." Lin Baixin introduced earnestly, and Yu Baozhu beside her also

Looking at John friendly.

John looked at all the sewing machines that were not advanced, and suddenly became a little suspicious, because he learned from a source that the quality of the garments produced in Hong Kong was very good, and the equipment was very advanced.

But now, he felt a little disappointed.

"We need man-made fiber cloth, and we need to keep it on time. Can you do it?" John asked calmly.

How could Lin Baixin be left behind? She quickly said: "No problem, we can go to Japan to purchase and then bring it back to Hong Kong for production. I wonder how many dozen you need?"

Johnson understood that this was not the garment factory he was looking for because it had never made any orders from South Africa.

"Not much! But I need to investigate again, and I will contact you later!"

Lin Baixin was immediately disappointed, but she also knew that this was the normal behavior of merchants and she was shopping around.

So, he quickly introduced Lixin Garment Factory again and offered the lowest price.
