Chapter 210 Don't be too soft-hearted, it's bad luck! (Additional chapter to thank everyone for their support)
The boss of Shell Electric Appliances, Weng Hu, actually called Wang Yuanchao.
He learned that the foreign trade company he had been cooperating with was still buying goods in large quantities!
This kind of partner and this kind of information cannot be hidden from the other party at all.
At this moment in Hong Kong, is there any electrical appliance factory of this scale that dares to produce against the wind?
It is already remarkable that he did not run away to Singapore or Yizhou.
He didn't intend to cause any damage, he just wanted to know how the other party could produce in such an environment. If his factory stopped production for a month, the loss would be hundreds of thousands. Especially at the current price, the loss would be sky-high!
In order to thank the other party for not allowing him to do OEM and forcing him to make a lot of money by following the Xiaomi model, Wang Yuanchao told him:
Divide the factory into many small factories, each with about ten people. If one factory or even several factories are affected, it will not affect other factories.
At this price now, as long as you make the product, you will make money!
Wang Yuanchao is quite honest!
When Weng Hu heard this, if it had been in the past, he would have been criticized to pieces, but at this critical moment, it actually worked out!
This young man really didn't bear grudges. Weng Hu felt ashamed. He didn't pay any price, but the other person told him the method directly. He felt very guilty.
So he arranged for someone to give Wang Yuanchao a Cadillac de Ville luxury car, which costs as much as US$8000 in the United States, not to mention having to ship it across the ocean to Hong Kong.
He had just ordered a batch for his family, so why not give one away?
When Wang Yuanchao received this luxury car, he thought it was quite good!
The huge body, graceful body lines and eye-catching body paint fully express the publicity and personality of American cars of this era. The frameless doors + no B-pillar design, the very large front chrome grille, four round headlights and unique tail fin shape, no one can help but fall in love with this turquoise Cadillac in front of them.
It goes well with blue!
Electric seats, power steering, electric windows, power brakes, lighted ashtrays and air conditioning systems... these are standard features of modern cars that are not worth mentioning, but in the 60s, they were absolutely like something out of a science fiction movie, and all of this has been realized in this Cadillac.
Compared with the big thing in front of him, the broken car he got from the snakehead was indeed just a four-wheeled means of transportation!
Driving this thing, you will definitely be the coolest guy on the whole street!
Boss Weng is really nice!
Wang Yuanchao had just concluded the first batch of goods with a foreign trade company. In more than half a month, 8000 fans were shipped, and all of them passed the random inspection.
The payment and goods were settled on the spot, and the net profit was US$9.6!
Even though he made so much money all of a sudden, he was not willing to buy a new car!
We just treated the factory workers to a roast goose dinner, gave each worker a red envelope of 20 Hong Kong dollars, and the managers gave a red envelope of 100 Hong Kong dollars!
It's not that he is not generous, he pays his workers about 200 yuan! In this day and age, it is already above average! He can't destroy the balance of the social salary structure, right?
As the workers become more skilled and production capacity increases, should we raise the price a bit?
Besides, fans are expensive now, what if the price drops in the future? It would be inappropriate to reduce the workers' wages at that time.
But later on, as the workers' skills improved and production increased, he was able to increase their wages by paying them overtime. In those days, there was no such thing as overtime pay. He knew all the tricks of Foxconn.
Boss Weng is such a nice guy. It’s just a small suggestion, but he’s so generous!
But the Cadillac is really not suitable to be driven on the street at this time. It is too flashy and will attract hatred. He is afraid of being beaten to death by accident.
It’s not a good idea to keep the car parked in front of the factory. I still have to buy a house.
The Kwun Tong area is full of factories, so Wang Yuanchao can only look north to the foot of Lion Rock, where the air is fresher. It is about 5 kilometers away from here, so driving there is not a problem at all.
He looked at many newspaper advertisements and chose Longpu Garden Villa in Yiben Road. He called the salesperson to make an on-site inspection.
It is called a villa, but it is actually a multi-story residence. However, one house has 1358 square feet, which is almost 123 square meters. It is a thousand-foot mansion!
There are two households on one elevator, three bedrooms and two living rooms, facing the scenic spot, and it costs about 12!
But now, the selling price is only 4. It’s not that the company doesn’t want to sell it at a higher price, but those rich people who have already bought houses are also selling it!
The company wanted to settle down as soon as possible. What if Hong Kong returned to China and they had so many houses? John and Youpai had been promoting this all along, and those who came to Hong Kong also said so. No one dared not to believe it.
It’s not that no one is buying houses, but those who can afford thousand-square-foot mansions have stopped buying. Even the bargain-hunting king Li Ka-shing has fled to Singapore!
Ordinary working class people can buy ordinary houses. They could only pay the down payment before, but now they can almost pay the full amount without any debt. Isn’t that great?
It’s not that no one wants to take out a loan to buy a big house, but now all the bank bosses are thinking of running away. Dozens of them have died at the border, and the loan business has almost come to a standstill.
Wang Yuanchao was the first person to come to this company to look at houses in July!
A building has 5 floors, the bottom floor is a garage, each building has 8 households, and there are 4 buildings in total.
This building originally started selling pre-sale properties at the beginning of the year, but sales were slower than construction, and only one-third of the units have been sold so far.
Originally, we tried to sell each building one by one, but now the situation is not good, so we have opened up all the sales.
Wang Yuanchao really wanted to pack up all the remaining houses, which were only worth about 80 yuan.
With the soaring housing prices in the future, the profits will be huge!
I still have about 20 Hong Kong dollars on hand, which I seized from the human traffickers. I have spent a lot of money on setting up factories, buying factories, and paying salaries.
Wang Yuanchao said:
“Can I get a discount if I buy more?”
The other party was stunned, then laughed and said:
"If Mr. Wang can buy two sets, our company can give him two garages!"
Wang Yuanchao smiled:
“Can I get a loan?”
The other party said with a bitter face:
"It's a bit difficult right now, but if Mr. Wang's loan doesn't exceed 50%, there is still hope."
A 50% loan means that if the homeowner defaults on payments and the house is taken back, the loan will be covered at least. Can’t this house be sold for 2 yuan?
Wang Yuanchao said:
“If I could get a loan, I could buy one.”
The other party was in a trance for a moment, then confirmed it again uncertainly:
"One?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Yeah, the southernmost building. I like that there's no obstruction in front of it!"
The house was built on a small hill, with the entrance on the north side of the Yiben Road and a large slope on the south side, overlooking the surrounding area. The real estate company was very happy, as they could sell a quarter of the house at once!
Combined with the funds that have been sold before, the company will recover this time and at least will not go bankrupt, and the funds can be transferred over.
Both parties went to sign the contract. The sales company was located in Chungking Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui. Anyone who has seen Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express knows that it is comparable to the United Nations version of Kowloon Walled City.
Of course, it hasn’t reached that stage yet, and it will still be a very high-end business building.
I don’t know how I ended up in that state.
The real estate company assisted with the formalities, payment, and loan matters. Since it was a ready-made house, Wang Yuanchao got the keys right away! A bunch of keys!
Under normal circumstances, customers pay a down payment first, and then start paying monthly installments after they get the house.
But for a ready-made property, there is no need to wait. As long as the real estate company helps you get the loan, you can start repaying the loan.
Only after paying off the loan could Wang Yuanchao obtain the full set of information about the house and proceed with the transaction.
Wang Yuanchao stuffed his keys and some documents into his briefcase, and the sales manager of the real estate company insisted on sending him downstairs. After repeated politeness, the other party finally sent him to the elevator.
After leaving the building, I saw someone standing by the car from a distance, looking at it like a thief.
With that figure, who else could it be if not fat?
Most of the Hong Kong dollars that just arrived in Hong Kong were contributed by the fat man!
How did he find this place?
I remember now, the fat guy said that he was doing sex trade here!
Was he followed or did he bump into me by chance?
This world is too small!!!
The fat man never thought that in such a big city like Hong Kong with such a vast sea of people, he would meet this car again that he could not forget even with his eyes closed!
Especially the rear of the car, he had been following it all the way! Even with his eyes closed he could recognize every scratch and deformation on the rear of the car!
I will definitely not admit my mistake!
The other party is so arrogant that he didn’t even change the license plate!
And came to his territory unscrupulously.
It's true, you'll find it after searching everywhere..., how do you say that?
It’s easy to get it anyway!
He has already asked his men to call for help, and he wants to keep a close eye on this car!
Anyone who has eaten his food must spit it out!
Pooh!
In the wild mountains and wilderness, he might be a fat guy, but this is Tsim Sha Tsui and Chongqing Building, so he is also an organized person!
He pays so much as a contribution every month, shouldn't the organization support him?
The fat man kept circling around the car, and Wang Yuanchao was very troubled. Who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing when going out?
This broken car can be discarded, but there is some information about Deep Blue Electric in the car. If the fat guy gets it, his factory will be in trouble.
Is this the retribution for taking advantage of others?
Fortunately, the real estate company didn't send it down! It's better to be polite!
Wang Yuanchao put his handbag into the space, looked around, and prepared to go up and have a "good chat" with the fat man.
Just after taking two steps, two cars rushed over arrogantly, stopped in front of the fat man, and a group of people got out, nine of them! There were also two policemen in military uniforms!
The fat man's expression instantly changed from anger to flattery.
"Mr. Li, please come here in person!"
Policeman Li said with a wry smile:
"Our police station takes Boss Liu's matter very seriously. We came here right after receiving the news."
The fat man quickly took out a cigarette, lit it up, and said:
"But, with so many people here, I'm afraid that enemy spy won't show up!"
The fat man put a big hat on Wang Yuanchao's head. An ordinary robber? Impossible! With such good skills, he must be an agent from outside!
The policeman's eyes lit up instantly, but he didn't say anything. He took a few puffs of his cigarette, walked around the car, and said seriously:
“There seems to be something in the car.
Everybody disperse first, we will wait here.
If you can’t wait, smash the car and see if there are any clues.”
Although the other party spoke in a low voice, Wang Yuanchao had sharp ears and eyes and heard it clearly.
I can't help it, things are getting bigger and bigger.
A woman's kindness, a woman's kindness, she should have cut the grass and uprooted it at the beginning!!!
There was no point in being anxious. Wang Yuanchao carefully looked around. This was a small alley with a lot of people coming and going, and it was very tricky.
People from both groups started getting into their cars and parked them one in front of the other, about 20 meters apart, blocking the two ends of the alley and making it convenient to keep an eye on Wang Yuanchao's car.
The fat man didn't get in the car because he was too big to squeeze into the back seat. The two passenger seats were reserved for police officers, so he huddled in the corner, waiting quietly.
Wang Yuanchao was preparing to be a good citizen of Hong Kong, but these people forced him to take action!
He retreated back to the building, found a corner, took out a baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses and put them on.
In fact, in this case, a stocking hood is more suitable.
But he didn't prepare anything, not even this thing!
He counted the weapons again. It was going to be a tough battle. Damn!
The grenade has a wooden handle. After unscrewing the protective cover, puncture the safety paper under the protective cover, pull out the pull ring, and throw it out immediately. If you are late, you may hurt yourself.
With the safety of a wooden-handled grenade pulled, it usually explodes in 6-8 seconds.
Wang Yuanchao carefully recalled the data taught by the instructor. Fortunately, when he was in the unit, he had always been serious about military training.
He pulled the safety pin of the grenade and instantly put it into the space.
After taking a few deep breaths, he went around to the other side of the alley, and while the fat man was distracted, he walked behind a car and gently threw a grenade under the car.
Then he walked quickly towards another car 20 meters away!
His heart was beating strongly and he counted to five silently. He walked about 5 meters away and then suddenly squatted down.
