294 [Raising Money]
Lin Jiaqi never expected that the task that Song Zhichao had assigned her was actually - Shule Se!
Lese is garbage, and Hong Kong people like to scold people, "You Lese!"
So Lin Jiaqi thought that Song Zhichao was cursing himself in a corner.
But before Lin Jiaqi could speak, Song Zhichao said, "I know you think I'm insulting you, but please listen to my words. If I remember well, your Lin family rose up by being the comprador of the British Army stationed in Hong Kong..."
In the 1950s, due to the turbulent international situation, especially the influence of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the British government increased its efforts to station troops in Hong Kong, so that the number of British troops stationed in Hong Kong reached an astonishing 160,000, which was twice as high as the 80,000 stipulated in the 1981 agreement between Hong Kong and Britain.
In order to meet the needs of these 160,000 people for food, drink, defecation, and urination, the Lin family served as a helping to customize four-season clothing, hats, shoes, supply vegetables, fruits, grain, rice and flour for the British army, as well as military canned food prepared for war, etc.
In that era, Hong Kong became the leader in Asian manufacturing, with various factories in Hong Kong, and "Made in Hong Kong" became the most iconic brand of that era.
The Lin family relied on the role of being an intermediary to purchase at a low price and then sold it to the British army at a high price. Later, in order to make more money, the Lin family even opened a food factory, clothing factory, shoe factory, canning factory, etc. in one go.
That era was an era of many heroes and a time when we made money and went crazy. It was through the original accumulation in the 1950s and 1960s that the Lin family was qualified to win the ten major families in Hong Kong in the future.
However, Hong Kong has experienced the rise of manufacturing in fifty or sixty years, the rise of real estate in the 1970s and 1980s, and now the rise of entertainment in the 1990s. Now, with the sharp decline in the number of British troops stationed in Hong Kong, coupled with the impact of cheaper manufacturing in the mainland, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry has reached the verge of end of its journey.
Many Hong Kong factories could not withstand the test and went bankrupt one after another. Only the Lin family relied on the firm "friendship" established with the British troops stationed in Hong Kong, and continued to persist. However, the assets under the Lin family group, such as canning factories, foreign wineries, clothing factories, shoe and hat manufacturing factories, have all become "non-performing assets" that are dragging their backs.
Not to mention that these factories have a large number of staff, it is difficult to lay off employees for a while, but the warehouses of these factories are stocking up a large number of canned food, foreign wine, clothing, shoes and hats.
These things could not be sold before, but could be sold to mainlanders as defective products, making money from mainlanders, and mainlanders were grateful to them.
However, with the development of mainland manufacturing, these hoarded old goods cannot keep up with the times at all. Mainland people have also begun to follow fashion and follow fashion. The most important thing is that the prices of goods in mainland China are cheaper than those in Hong Kong.
Without the price advantage, these old goods from the Lin family have completely become garbage. It is a pity to destroy them all. If you want to sell them but can't be sold, you can only pile them in the warehouse and rot.
But in Song Zhichao's opinion, these are a lot of headaches for others, but a lot of treasures for him.
Because Song Zhichao knew clearly that it was almost September, and the Soviet Union was about to begin to turmoil. At that time, the entire domestic supply was in urgent need. When the Soviet people transformed into Russian people, they had no food, no drink, and no clothes. How could they survive such a cool and fierce winter?
As a veteran, Song Zhichao knew very clearly that the Soviet Union of that era was simply a huge black hole. As long as you had enough food, enough services, and enough foreign wine, you could change to what you wanted, high-end machinery and equipment, foreign buildings, small oil fields, and even airplanes, cannons, and tanks.
It was a crazy exchange market and a paradise for adventurers. The richest man in mainland China used 500 car leather cans, leather jackets, thermos bottles and other supplies to exchange four Soviet aircraft. The richest man in Mou made a profit of 100 million yuan at a time!
So Song Zhichao calculated clearly that he is in Hong Kong, as a transit station for Asian supplies, Hong Kong has unique advantages in maritime transportation, and the eldest lady of the Lin family has a large number of canned food, foreign wine, clothes, shoes and hats in her hand. If she doesn't make good use of it, it's simply compared to the opportunity given by the God of Wealth.
"So my request is very simple. I will work with you and we will gather all kinds of garbage in Hong Kong together. I will find a way to deal with it. At that time, will we all make money together? "Song Zhichao talked to Lin Jiaqi.
Lin Jiaqi smiled, "I don't know how you will deal with this garbage, but if you are willing to do it, I can help you, but not cooperate, but help you sell the garbage from our Lin family to you at a cheap price. Do you dare to accept it?"
For Lin Jiaqi, there must be some conspiracy for Song Zhichao to cooperate with him. How to deal with so much garbage? It would be strange if he didn't lose his life at that time, so he would not be fooled.
On the contrary, if Song Zhichao really wants to buy the garbage, he can help him, after all, this is also very beneficial to the Lin family.
Song Zhichao smiled: "You refuse to work with me to make money, and you will definitely regret it in the future."
"I won't regret it. Do you want trash? I'll sell it to you!" Lin Jiaqi felt very smart and saw through Song Zhichao's conspiracy.
"So OK, since that's the case, we'll have an agreement. I'll prepare the money. You sell me the garbage accumulated by your Lin family. It's a one-time thing, I'll shoot it with one shot!"
Lin Jiaqi: “…”
Seeing Song Zhichao getting angry, he thought he was angry after seeing through the conspiracy, and he said more and more proudly, "Don't worry, because you are my student, I won't ask you for too much money."
"It won't be too much, how much does it cost?" Song Zhichao took the opportunity to ask.
"This canned food, foreign wine, etc. costs about three million, and clothes, shoes, hats, etc. cost about two million. Do you have it?" Lin Jiaqi deliberately asked Song Zhichao in a provocative tone.
"I have...a hairy!" Song Zhichao really got angry this time, "You guys are trash, not babies, how could they be worth so much?"
"Haha, is it because you don't have money or is my stuff expensive?" Lin Jiaqi smiled contemptuously, "If we don't sell our stuff as garbage, it will be worth at least 50 million. Five million is a cheaper thing for you."
Song Zhichao knew that what Lin Jiaqi said was true, but now he really didn’t have that much money, to be precise, he didn’t have that much cash.
Now all the money earned by Wanda Garment Factory and Wanda Trading Company in the mainland are invested in Wanda Technology Company to invent the high-end VCD product.
Originally, I said that VCDs can be manufactured in a few months, but recently I said that I encountered a design bottleneck, and there were problems with the laser head, and the design time needed to be extended.
Song Zhichao can understand this, because the most exquisite part of VCD in his previous life was the laser head design. Often, once the laser head is damaged, the entire machine will be scrapped.
Once the design time of VCD is extended, the money that is constantly invested is also extended.
Now Song Zhichao is really not rich. To put it nicely, half of the Phantom World is his. "God of Cookery" is also a big box office, but the box office has not been calculated yet. Even if it is calculated, it will have to wait until the theaters deduct their profits first and then it will be distributed to the Phantom Company.
Even if the money is really shared, Song Zhichao can only get half of it, and he can't get it for casual spending. He has to invest in another drama, which is Andy Lau's "The Return of the Condor Heroes". Since then, Song Zhichao is still a pauper.
"Okay, I know that your garbage also has garbage prices, please wait!" After saying that, Song Zhichao stood up.
"What are you doing?" Lin Jiaqi couldn't help asking when she saw Song Zhichao snatch the door and left.
Song Zhichao spit out two words without looking back: " Raise money!"
