Chapter 50 The factory was established
After returning home.
After listening to Yang Wendong's description, Su Yiyi said in surprise: "So good? They took the initiative to open up channels for us."
After Yang Wendong took a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "As long as it is good stuff , people with vision will naturally rush to cooperate.
You have also read about Li Jiacheng in the newspapers during this period. He launched plastic flowers last year and became an instant hit. Many customers in Hong Kong, Japan, Europe and the United States. But they all rush to give him 100% of the payment first, just to get his plastic flowers first.”
"So awesome? The newspaper didn't write such details." Su Yiyi asked curiously: "Brother Dong, how do you know?"
Yang Wendong said: "The space in the newspaper is too small, so naturally I won't write something like that. I know, I learned this from chatting with some businessmen at the dock during this period."
"Oh, so our sticky mouse board can also be compared to Li Jiacheng's plastic flowers?" Su Yiyi said happily.
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "It's not comparable, but the nature is the same. Both An Yongqiang and Zhao Chengguang are optimistic about the future economic benefits of the sticky mouse board.
However, the economic value of this sticky mouse board is still not as good as that of plastic flowers. One is something that becomes less and less needed with more use, and the other is for people to watch, so they can’t compare.”
Although plastic flowers have only existed for less than ten years in history, the economic benefits they can generate are very strong. It is said that Li Jiacheng became a multi-millionaire by relying on plastic flowers.
In Hong Kong in the 1950s, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars was a very big number.
Su Yiyi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't compare. Brother Dong, maybe you can invent better things in the future?"
"Maybe." Yang Wendong smiled.
After traveling through time, the greatest wealth is actually the things in one’s own mind that are common in future generations but do not exist now.
But most of them involve high-tech products, which are simply not possible in this era.
The other is some low-tech products, which may already exist, but there is no Internet now, so it is not easy to check at all.
In the short term, he didn't expect any other good things. The only thing he needs to do now is to do a good job in his current career. In this way, if you really think of something in the future, you will have money for research and development.
Su Yiyi suddenly seemed to think of something and asked again: "Brother Dong, if we have a factory, will those gangs and police come to trouble us?"
Yang Wendong Then he paused and said, "It's possible, but there are always rules. Just like when we were in Dong Caichang before, as long as we pay according to their rules, they won't do anything to us."

Just like shops and hawkers, factories opening in this era will also have these problems.
However, the current society in Hong Kong is dark, but no matter how dark it is, there are rules. As long as you have money and can pay, in a small factory, those people will not break their own rules just to oppress you. Because this will affect normal charges.
"This is the way the world is." Su Yiyi added: "I heard from Liming that in the East Cai Chang, people have been beaten often recently, and some people can't pay the money, and they can't live anymore. There are several They all committed suicide."
"Why?" Yang Wendong asked immediately. No wonder Su Yiyi suddenly mentioned the matter between the gang and the police. It seemed to be because of this.
But when he was in Dong Cai Chang, the people there were not living well, but they generally did not commit suicide. There were only a few people there.
Su Yiyi said: "It seems that because of the recent bad economic situation, house prices have dropped particularly sharply. Some small vendors bought houses before, but now they are losing too much.
Also, the business of the vegetable market is worse than before. There are too many, but the hawker management team doesn’t care about this and still charges normal prices.”
Yang Wendong nodded and said: “The economy is not good, there is nothing we can do.” As far as he knows, the next wave of real estate explosion in Hong Kong is. From 1958 to 1964, but in the first year of 1958, it plummeted in the first half of the year.
The plummeting housing prices will inevitably lead to a contraction of the economy, and the last group of people to get on the bus are the worst off.
Su Yiyi added: "By the way, there seems to be a small industrial area near the East Caichang, about 1,000 meters away. The rent there is very cheap. I think we can open a small factory there."
Yang Wendong After thinking about it, he asked: "Did you ask Liming to look for it nearby?"
Su Yiyi smiled and said: "Yeah, I was thinking about the place in Dong Cai Chang It's not too far from where we are now, and it's also quite close to the squatters, which is just right for us.
In the future, it will be more convenient for factories to recruit people, and the wages for squatters will be lower. "High."
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded, and then said: "In this way, the wages for future recruitment will be based on market prices.
But in terms of food, we packed it for lunch. The rice is a little better. Not only does it have meat in every meal, but it is also good to stir-fry meat dishes, put more oil in the soup, and then soak the rice. ”
Speaking of squatters, this reminded Yang Wendong of the miserable days in the past. He worked so hard every day just to fill his stomach.
But capitalists are the cruelest. With more people seeking jobs and an imbalance in manpower supply and demand, they exploit the poor with the utmost cruelty.
Many low-level jobs in Hong Kong do not include food, and ordinary people are reluctant to spend their own money to eat. How good it is.
This is why many people like to do hard work in docks and warehouses. On the one hand, it makes more money, but more importantly, they can have a full meal, even if there is no food. Oil and water.
"Okay, Brother Dong, you are such a good person." Su Yiyi said with a happy smile.
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "It's just a little food, which is far from being a good person."
Su Yiyi said: "No, food is very important. We My biggest goal when I was a kid was to I want to eat enough. At that time, I remember you went to the butcher shop to steal small pieces of meat.”
“Yes, it’s enough to eat enough.” It’s really hard to imagine for people in the 21st century.
A few decades ago, many people could not eat rice a few times a year, let alone meat
There are also many people who work hard all day but can't have enough to eat. The ultimate goal of every day's work is not to starve to death.
The next day, Yang Wendong brought Zhao Liming and Su Yiyi to the east vegetable market.
Zhao Liming has also been here and is familiar with this place. After visiting several stores, Yang Wendong chose a small warehouse of about 120 square meters as the site of his first factory.
The rent is not expensive, 450 yuan a year. Yang Wendong directly paid half a year's rent and half a year's deposit.
In the next three days, Zhao Liming asked someone to come over and clean it up, and hired an electrician to clean up the wiring. Su Yiyi also bought some second-hand tables for future assembly.
On May 15th, Yang Wendong traveled to Hong Kong for four months and successfully opened his own small factory.
