Chapter 200 Wealth Statistics in 1960
"Industrial Park with Ten Thousand People?" Wei Zetao sighed with emotion after hearing this.
When he joined Changxing Industrial two years ago, he never imagined that the small factory building with only a few thousand square feet could grow to the terrifying scale it has today.
Zheng Zhijie said: "What a name, it sounds a bit shocking."
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Then everyone should do their own thing, remember, this matter It must be kept strictly confidential. Only the four of us know about it at the moment. Don’t tell the fifth person.
Lao Zheng, when you go back, do it as quickly as possible. The more properties in Kwun Tong you can acquire, the better. The Hong Kong government will not always give us so much time for this matter. "
"Okay, I will start decorating when I get back today. "Zheng Zhijie agreed.
"Well, let's do that. Yang Wendong nodded and said.
After Wei Zetao and Zheng Zhijie left, Su Yiyi asked: "I remember that the economy in Kwun Tong is not as good as Tsim Sha Tsui, right?" ”
“It’s not as good as that. Yang Wendong smiled and said: "According to my understanding of the Hong Kong government's policies, Tsim Sha Tsui may become Hong Kong's future commercial center on the Kowloon Peninsula."
As for Kwun Tong, it may be positioned as a residential area or an industrial area. "
"That's not bad. Su Yiyi nodded and said: "We just took the opportunity to gradually move all the factories there. In line with the Hong Kong government's plan, we can also maximize our production efficiency." "
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Yes, according to the current trend, this will be the case. In the future, Kwun Tong will also become our key investment location. ”
Although I am thinking about hoarding more land in Tsim Sha Tsui, it is currently unlikely that I can find a large area of land to build an industrial park similar to the previous life.
And my own manufacturing industry has a long way to go. It has exceeded his original expectations, and the current profit is even far greater than that of real estate and shipping. So all investments now must be centered around industrial factories
As for hoarding land, the factory has made a lot of money in the past few years. By 1966, I don’t know how much land or property can be hoarded.
Su Yiyi smiled and said: "Brother Dong, I remember you said that the place where we invest in the future will be the economic center. Then maybe Kwun Tong will surpass Tsim Sha Tsui?"
"Haha, it's really possible." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Based on the current development trend and knowing the future, if we really focus on investing in Kwun Tong in the future, then the future economy of Kwun Tong will definitely improve qualitatively.
Whether it can exceed Tsim Sha Tsui or not is hard to say.
However, for this kind of thing, just follow the trend, and there is no need to forcefully promote it, as that would be uneconomical.
In real estate business, the most important thing is to comply with the market. Any business giant who wants to change the market on his own is already doomed to lose.
The next day, Zheng Zhijie started to acquire properties in Kwun Tong. After the news was released, many real estate agents took action, which attracted the attention of many real estate companies.
But they also don’t understand why Changxing Real Estate suddenly became interested in Kwun Tong.
On the other side, Yang Wendong did not reply to Elena immediately. He just needed to give Zheng Zhijie some time.
However, considering that many Chinese who lost their homes still had no place to live in Kwun Tong and could only gather in the Hong Kong government's shelter, Yang Wendong donated another HK$200,000 and purchased a large amount of basic daily necessities to send there.
Most of them are food. Fortunately, Hong Kong is not cold in winter, so we don’t have to worry about anyone freezing to death.
On January 25, 1961, Yang Wendong and Su Yiyi came to Hong Kong China Building.
In the Changxing Real Estate office on the top floor, Su Yiyi looked not far away with a telescope.
Yang Wendong came over and asked: "What are you looking at?"
Su Yiyi smiled and said: "I'm looking at the Geely Building? It's already halfway built."
"It's almost completed. It will be topped out by May this year." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
"May?" Su Yiyi nodded: "That's about the same time as my due date."
"Yes." Yang Wendong said, "When the child is born, you can stay at home with peace of mind. I will put work aside for a month;
Although I won’t take a complete break by then, I will spend more time with my children.”
Su Yiyi smiled and asked: "Work is still very important, and you must have a proper balance."
"Well, don't worry." Yang Wendong shrugged and said, "Actually, even now, I basically don't care about a lot of things." As for trivial matters, there are already more than a dozen people in the headquarters office who are responsible for reviewing various matters. The most important thing for a large company is the system. The same is true for Changxing Group. The branch heads and middle and senior management are responsible for the branches, but they need to report their internal affairs every month. Finance, personnel and some important matters are all reported to the headquarters.
The headquarters office will review whether there are any problems. If there is a problem, it will be verified, or after a period of time, even if there is no problem, it will be checked again.
Furthermore, the headquarters office will also send people to stay in several branches. They will not participate in management, but will only record various things. In the end, the headquarters will also check the information of both parties.
In order to prevent the remaining "imperial envoys" from colluding with some people, Yang Wendong will randomly arrange third-party review agencies to conduct reviews of branches and even the headquarters at intervals.
Although this will cost more money, it also allows the boss Yang Wendong to avoid worrying about too many chores, and it is still worth it.
Su Yiyi also said: "Well, the safety supervision department has also reported three corruption cases recently. One of them has basically been confirmed, and the other two have no evidence. Do you think we should call the police to arrest them?"
“Tell me about it.” Yang Wendong asked. "It's like this. The three of them are buyers from Changxing Industrial. They..." Su Yiyi had almost written down the content and said it clearly.
After listening, Yang Wendong said: "The funds involved are not very large, so let's wait and wait until the other two pieces of evidence are found before we start together."
Su Yiyi asked again: "Can we just call the police and let the police know?" Are the police going to investigate?”
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: “General civil cases are OK, but we can’t do this. We don’t want to talk about irrefutable evidence, but we must have at least some evidence. Report the crime, otherwise if someone is wrongly accused, it will have a great negative impact on the company
We only need to find one piece of evidence, but obviously it is unlikely that such a person has only done one thing, and the rest can be left to the police. "
The police in the 1960s were not very fair, but reporting a crime to a large company was different from ordinary people. The Hong Kong police were unlikely to mess around.
In the past two years, Yang Wendong has often met with some high-level ghosts in Hong Kong. Not to mention how good the friendship is, but it can be regarded as a combination of interests.
"Oh." Su Yiyi nodded and said.
"Dong dong dong~~"
At this moment, there was a sound outside the door. Yang Wendong looked at it and said with a smile: "Sister Wang, please come in."
Come on The person is Wang Fengzhi, who is now in charge of the headquarters' finances.
"Sheng Yang, hello Mrs. Yang." Wang Fengzhi said politely after walking in.
"Please sit down." Yang Wendong took Su Yiyi to the desk.
"Thank you." After Wang Fengzhi took his seat, he said directly: "Yang Sheng, Changxing Group's financial results for last year have been completed."
"Oh, let me take a look." Yang Wendong took it. I read the information carefully.
Wang Fengzhi explained from the side: "Yang Sheng, currently the most profitable company in the entire group is Changxing Industrial. Last year's net profit was HK$25 million, and it is also rising on a monthly basis throughout the year.
At the beginning of the month, the net profit was almost HK$1.5 million, and in December the net profit was as high as 3.5 million.
Because many new warehouses were purchased in the middle of the year, otherwise the net profit for the whole year might exceed 30 million. "
"Hmm. Yang Wendong also saw the financial report summary form of Changxing Industrial and asked: "Now we mainly rely on sticky notes, right?" The profit from the trolley suitcase is only 550,000. ”
Post-it notes have historically been one of 3M’s biggest sources of profit, even surpassing various high-end industrial tapes with very high technical content.
Now you have it in your own hands Although dealers had to give up profits for the sake of the market, and there was a lot of piracy, now that production capacity has increased, profits have also increased.
"Yes." Wang Fengzhi said: "Limited by transportation capacity, we can only focus on the Asian market at present, and the positioning of trolley bags is also considered high-end. The consumption power in Asia is obviously not as good as that in Europe and the United States."
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Next year, when the scale of the shipping company increases, we can safely do exports in this area."
Wang Fengzhi said: "Yes, wait for the shipping The scale is so big that not only the trolley case, but also the sticky notes and sticky hooks can travel on our own cargo ship."
"Yes." Yang Wendong smiled. In fact, sticky notes and sticky hooks are not the same. Large, the price per unit weight is relatively high, and it is not so sensitive to shipping prices.
But it is definitely more convenient and cost-effective to have your own boat.
Wang Fengzhi added: "Changxing Industrial also has sticky hooks, rotating mops and sticky mouse boards. The combined profit of these three items is about 300,000 yuan a month;
The main reason is that the piracy problem is too serious. Many markets around the world have Similar products, our patent advantage, is difficult to play a big role in the European and American markets.”
“It’s a pity. In a perfect society, the profits of these three products are no worse than sticky notes. ." Yang Wendong also said with emotion.
Piracy of sticky notes is low, firstly because of the strong distribution channels, and secondly because the end customers of sticky notes are enterprises. In places like Europe and the United States, where patent laws are relatively complete, they are easy to enforce; 3M found If there is piracy, you can save a lot of trouble by sending a letter directly.
The trolley case is large enough, and most terminal sales points are in large shopping malls. The cost of piracy is high. Although it is not impossible, it is easy to find it with the resources of its own channel dealers.
But for small things like sticky hooks and sticky mouse boards, the cost of pursuing piracy may be higher than the benefits. In the end, you can only make as much money as you can.
Wang Fengzhi said with a smile: "There is no perfect society in this world. Even if there is, we still need to wait until our scale is large enough."
"That's right." Yang Wendong continued to read the information, and then Asked: "Has Hong Kong China Daily started to make a profit?"
Wang Fengzhi said: "Yes, it started to make a profit in the second half of last year. The profit last month was almost 20,000, and the overall profit for the year was 25,000. Not counting "A lot."
"Not bad." Yang Wendong nodded. Although he didn't expect the media to make much money, it means that the company can operate normally;
Otherwise, spending money to expand the scale of newspapers is unhealthy and unsustainable. This is also the reason why many large companies do not engage in media business.
Wang Fengzhi continued: "Hong Kong Commercial Radio is actually also profitable, but it has to amortize the large initial investment in equipment, so the annual report is still negative."
"Well, this is not bad. "Yang Wendong smiled, the early investment in the radio station was indeed huge
Wang Fengzhi added: "For Changxing Real Estate Company, because it is the first year, the project has not been completed, and new land has been purchased recently. , so I calculated it based on a single project;
The second phase of the Tixiang Shijia project has not yet been sold. According to the current housing prices, the net profit of the entire project will be around HK$1.3 million. "< br>
