Chapter 399 Overseas Production Capacity Layout
"Plastic boxes?" Wei Zetao paused and said: "In fact, some people are producing this kind of boxes now, and they are also available in Hong Kong. We can indeed make them, but there are no special advantages. "
"I know there are plastic boxes," Yang Wendong said with a smile: "But the current plastic boxes are mainly imitations of ordinary wooden boxes, and what I want to do is to put them on. There are sealable lids and movable wheels underneath, or they can be optional. Only plastic boxes like this are convenient to use.”
From the moment plastic appeared, in many ways, it was They are trying to replace metal, replace wood, etc. Therefore, many people and companies were trying to make various substitutions in the early days.
The raw material of wooden boxes is wood that takes time to grow. This is simply an inefficiency that can be tolerated in an industrialized society. Therefore, plastic boxes have gradually become more common, but there are no special modifications. Some properties are not as good as wood, so the replacement effect is not obvious.
But the storage box is different. It specifically uses the properties of plastic, and the box produced is very efficient. The results in the previous life are enough to illustrate this point.
“It’s sealed on top and there are wheels on the bottom?” Wei Zetao thought for a moment and said, “Wheels are simple, but with wheels added, it might be inconvenient to transport. Empty boxes must be stuck together to transport them. It’s a good deal.”
Yang Wendong smiled and said: “It’s not necessary to install the wheels below. In fact, most people don’t need it, but we can leave an installation hole so that those who need it can install it themselves. Wheels, the cost is not high for us.
As for the upper seal, we need to use sealing rubber, which is stuck in the seam to match the lower box, and then use buckles to snap the cover. Go down, and in this way, the sealing can be achieved. "
In his previous life, Yang Wendong also had a storage box in his home, so he knew the general structure, but later he changed to a bigger house after having some assets, so he no longer needed it.
It can be said that the storage box is a product born for urbanization. Its characteristic is that it can store various clothes, household items, etc. in the smallest space.
"Okay, except for the buckles, everything else is It's easy to implement." Wei Zetao nodded and said, "I have to let the people in the R&D department take a look at how to implement the buckle structure."
"Okay, let me know the results as soon as possible." Yang Wendong smiled. said with a smile.
He also knew a little about the approximate appearance of the buckle in his previous life, but he couldn't describe it now, and there was no need, because the key to successful clamping was the material and size.
This research and development is not difficult. The important thing is to think of this. If your team cannot even design such a simple requirement, it would be a waste.
Wei Zetao agreed and said: "Okay, I will set up the relevant team today."
Yang Wendong took out another piece of paper and gave it to Wei Zetao and said: "I roughly drew this. When you design in the future, You can refer to it."
After taking the paper, Wei Zetao took a look and said, "Yang Sheng, do you want transparent plastic?"
"Yes, colorless is best. Transparent." Yang Wendong asked again: "Can't it be done?"
Wei Zetao said: "It can be done with colorless plastic, which is less useful and more expensive."
< br>
"This is okay. The transparent box allows people to see at a glance whether the things they put are inside. This is an incomparable advantage compared to wooden boxes." Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Customers are also willing to pay this cost. We make this kind of box, and our customers are all people in the city, and their houses may be a bit small. , but he is not considered poor and will not care about the extra cost.”
Changxing Industrial’s finished products are all creative products. If they have patents, they will inevitably have a high price premium. This is its own advantage. , and brand building also requires an appropriate premium, so it is appropriate to choose better materials that customers need.
"Okay, that's no problem. We should be able to conquer this structure in a short time." Wei Zetao said confidently.
"Okay, then I'm waiting for your good news." Yang Wendong asked again: "There have been a lot of things happening in Changxing Industrial recently, how are they going?"
As With the expansion of scale, Changxing Industrial has become the largest manufacturing company in Hong Kong. At the same time, as its products are sold around the world, its influence has gradually increased. Then some international economic factors also need to be considered, so the factory must gradually invest in other places to let ZZ factors investing and economics combined.
There is also Singapore, which is about to be established as a nation, which is also very suitable for your investment. There are mainly Chinese people there.
Wei Zetao replied: "At present, our investment in Wanwan is going well. The factory is already under construction, and various equipment has been ordered from Dongsheng. When the factory is built, the equipment can be synchronized.< br>
Wanwan is also recruiting some technical, quality and management personnel, and they have also been sent to Hong Kong for training. In addition, we will also send people to manage the company. Managers and various personnel will be sent there to ensure normal production there."
"Okay, there shouldn't be a big problem here in Wanwan." Yang Wendong nodded and asked again: "What about the UK? Where is the other side?”
Although his investment in the UK is far inferior to Wanwan’s in terms of scale, what worries him is the UK side
The essence of this investment is actually a ZZ exchange. I help the UK solve some employment problems in exchange for the British government's proper protection of me in the future. Since I need to do this, it must be that the UK is not suitable for investment, otherwise I I left early, but I still have to try my best to make a profit or not lose money economically. Only in this way can we benefit from each other in the long run.
Wei Zetao replied: "I have negotiated with Sean several times. He still insists on 800 employment numbers and refuses to lower it anymore."
"800? These A person’s salary can be worth 5,000 Hong Kong dollars "Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "It still needs to be lowered. Our own investment can also drive employment in their surrounding factories. If they stick to this number, then I will also drive the front-end plastic injection molding machine. Number of people”
When investing overseas, it is better to have fewer people, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Money is one thing, and on the other hand, if there are too many workers, there will be trouble.
If it is just contract employment, then if it is ok, he Rather pass this opportunity to suppliers , so that you can take credit without having to manage, killing two birds with one stone; even in Hong Kong, the Changxing Group will develop in this direction in the future, gradually reducing the number of employees in non-core industries, and then investing in some potential suppliers
"Okay, I'll talk to Sean again." Wei Zetao added: "Lin Youqi and Lin Sheng have also visited many towns in London and are still looking for the most suitable location."
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "There is no rush in this matter. Take your time and prioritize the investment in Wanwan. The British side is also a ZZ purpose in itself and will have little impact on our production capacity or market;
< br>Even if things like spin mops become big in Europe, there is actually not much profit, as long as they can maintain normal operations in the future.”
The factory of the future will definitely be in Asia. This is an ironclad fact. If it weren't for the fact that it was too far away from the mainland, then he wouldn't have to bother so much. Even if it were the 1970s, he would not invest in the UK. Ten years later, the British Empire would be in decline. When the mainland opened up, many things would be much easier for him, but he still had to win over some Westerners. ZZ Group
“Okay, the problem in Wanwan is not that big, the government process has been completed, and the administrative department there still welcomes our investment.” Wei Zetao said with a smile.
Yang Wendong nodded and asked: "What about the plastic production base in Hong Kong?"
The scale of this investment is not very large, but it is very important, especially for various future projects. Products are basically made of metal, plastic, and paper as raw materials.
There is no way to deal with metal for the time being, and paper can now be produced by ourselves, so that leaves plastic. Especially for the storage boxes that are about to be produced, the demand for plastics may be higher than that of trolley boxes.
Even though he has Formosa Plastics as his supplier, if he can produce it, he will definitely be able to reduce more costs and suppress Formosa Plastics. Otherwise, Wang Yongqing will really develop successfully in the future. On the contrary, you may find a way to get rid of yourself. Although you are not sure, you must be prepared. It is unreasonable to rely on one supplier for important raw materials.
Wei Zetao replied: "The land on Qingyi Island has been acquired, and the factory is ready to be built. In terms of equipment, production is already underway in Japan. It is estimated that the factory will be completed in July or August this year, and work will begin at that time. It has been produced on a small scale in Hong Kong."
"What about the people in various fields?" Yang Wendong asked.
Wei Zetao replied: "Some of them were dug from Formosa Plastics, just because of our relationship with Formosa Plastics, so we didn't do it too harshly. Others were dug in Southeast Asia, where there is also some oil. The derivatives industry, especially the Philippines, the United States and the United Kingdom also have oil derivatives industries there."
"Well, okay, then I will wait for your results," Yang Wendong nodded. Said the head.
As a boss, you can just ask about many things, and for other things, just wait for the results, unless it is a very large-scale investment.
April 12 is a good day to get married.
Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong, on this day, firecrackers roared, and many senior executives from the Changxing Group came here to celebrate the boss's wedding.
There are not many external people invited, except for some partners, suppliers, banks, etc.
Some reporters also came over, but according to the management rules of the Four Seasons Hotel, reporters are absolutely not allowed to enter casually, not to mention that today is the boss’s big day, and this wedding banquet itself will not Journalists are invited to come.
"Oh, this rich man is really nice. Yang Wendong is only in his 20s and already has three wives."
"Isn't this normal? You only have a few wives in your 20s. If you are thirty or forty years old, you may not be interested~"
"I mean, how many men marry If you don’t have a wife, you can marry as many people as you want, just practice monogamy.”
“What a fuss, do you think you can get a wife if you are monogamous?” Skills are still useless. Rich people can raise many women, as long as they don’t get married..."
"That’s right, everything depends on money."
Many people were stopped The reporters outside were having a casual discussion, but if they couldn’t get in, they might as well take a rest here;
The Four Seasons Hotel is still very good at doing things. Although reporters are not allowed in, they will still give reporters some water, snacks and other things so that everyone can have a rest
Above the Four Seasons Hotel, Yang Wendong is also greeting many guest.
"Yang Sheng, congratulations." A middle-aged man came over and said with a smile.
"Thank you, He Sheng." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
The visitor is none other than He Shanheng from Hang Seng Bank. He is now known as the head of the first Chinese bank in Hong Kong. It is also because Hang Seng Bank has seized too many opportunities in recent years and has become The number one Chinese-owned bank, in terms of scale, reputation and influence, far surpasses Liu Chong Hing Bank a few years ago.
This also paved the way for British capital to later set up a trap and swallow up Hang Seng.
He Shanheng said: "Then I will go in first. If you are free in the future, you can come and sit at our Hang Seng Bank."
"Okay." Yang Wendong agreed.
After a while, business friends such as Li Jiacheng, Li Shauji, Li Fushu, Zheng Yutong, etc. also rushed over. After celebrating, they arrived at their places.
The wedding continued as before, with the whole process completed under the guidance of the MC.
There are also many professional photographers shooting from different angles below, recording all the beautiful things into videos.
