The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Chapter 8 [Preparation for business]

Early February.

25 Seymour Road.

On the dining table, there are roast goose, seafood, red wine, more than 170,000 HSBC bank deposits, and 5 pieces of small yellow croaker (2.5kg each).

As for the 35 gold bars in Beacon Hill and Lion Rock, Lin Zhichao has not gone to pick them up yet. After all, there may be dangerous people wandering nearby.

Exactly half a year after he came to this world, Lin Zhichao finally had the capital to start a business, so he didn't have to wait for several years. However, this small amount of entrepreneurial capital is nothing. Lin Zhichao still needs to work harder, otherwise he will only be a small fortune in this life.

The charter king arrived in Hong Kong with a net worth of US$100,000 (HKD 400,000) and a large amount of jewelry. Zhao Congyan arrived in Hong Kong with a 3,500-ton ocean liner.

When many wealthy people from the Mainland came to Hong Kong, their net worth was several million Hong Kong dollars, or even millions of US dollars. They brought their whole family with them, as well as a large number of machines, skilled workers, etc., which can be described as a huge momentum.

Next.

Lin Zhichao plans to officially start a business. Although he is less than 19 years old (born in March 1928), he has more than 50 years of experience; now he has a strong body and a smart mind, making him a perfect protagonist.

His first business was to start real estate.

He originally planned to start a career in the plastics industry, but recently he thought carefully about the pros and cons and felt that what he needs most now is a network of contacts.

But, where does the network of personal connections come from?

That is to make "great achievements" so that bankers will favor him, chambers of commerce will absorb him, and business leaders will befriend him.

At the same time, you have to cultivate your own power and improve your strength.

Those who meet these conditions are currently only engaged in real estate.

As for Lin Zhichao’s source of funds, let the world guess this, otherwise how can he be called a ‘legendary businessman’!

There is a saying:

Fish have their own paths,

Shrimp has its own way;

The toad has no way out.

Jumping three times is also a big step!

Of course.

When he came to Mord Street in Xihuang District again, Lin Zhichao could not help but feel a little emotional. This place gave him his first place to live and prevented him from becoming one of the refugees.

Standing outside the door of Li Gaofu's house, he had already heard the baby's cry from inside, and he suddenly smiled.

"Dong dong"

Soon the door was opened, and it was the neighbor Granny Li who opened the door.

"Hey, Chaozi, why are you back? You are so rich that you are wearing a suit!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said, "I'm here to see my cousin and Brother Gao Fu. Who are you?"

Before Granny Li could speak, she saw Chen Shufang coming to the door with the baby in her arms, and said enthusiastically: "Zhichao, come in quickly. Your brother Gao Fu feels sorry for me, so please ask Granny Li to come and keep me company for a while."

The implication is that you are paying, so there is no need to be polite or grateful.

At this time, her attitude towards Lin Zhichao was completely different, not only because of the 200 Hong Kong dollars, but also because Lin Zhichao might have become rich.

Lin Zhichao also understood this very well, but he didn't take it to heart. He was very grateful to Li Gaofu for taking him in.

What's more, when he started his career, he also needed someone to be 'trusted and loyal', and Li Gaofu was just the right person.

In the entrepreneurial stage, relatives and friends are more suitable to join. However, after the business is well established, it will be necessary to kick out those relatives who do not understand the rules and are not motivated.

This is the way to use people!

Lin Zhichao placed the packed food and baby milk powder on the table, which made Granny Li secretly amazed and Chen Shufang was very happy.

"This is a box of children's milk powder, produced in the United States, with guaranteed quality!" Lin Zhichao introduced.

This is an era when goods are scarce. As long as you can create goods, you won't have to worry about sales.

Some time ago, many plastic products were shipped to Hong Kong from the United States, including 'glass trouser belts' (transparent, polystyrene material) that cost 240 Hong Kong dollars each, and 'rolling pens' that cost 100 Hong Kong dollars. Such expensive things are sold in Hong Kong. Out of stock, and these are plastic products. After World War II, the Yankees quickly made a lot of money around the world by virtue of their ability to manufacture goods. This was the economic foundation of the later overlord.

"This kid is lucky, and he can still eat American milk powder!" Chen Shufang said happily to the child in her arms.

She knew the price of milk powder, a can was about 20 to 30 yuan, and this box might cost several hundred.

"It's a boy, it seems that Brother Gao Fu has to work hard!"

"No matter how hard he works, he can't make as much as you!"

After some excitement, Chen Shufang invited Granny Li out, because Lin Zhichao packed a lot of delicious food, and she didn't want to take advantage of others. Lin Zhichao still knows how to be a man, and gave two apples to Granny Li.

After sitting at home for a while, Li Gaofu came back, and the two chatted about the old days.

"It's been over a month since you left. I'm really worried, but I can't contact you." Li Gaofu said sincerely.

Without Lin Zhichao's defection, the relationship between the two would only be vague;

And living under one roof for more than four months, naturally there are feelings.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Gao Fu for missing me!"

"It's good that it's okay! It looks like you've got things done, and I'm happy for you too."

Next, several people chatted while eating.

When the time was right, Lin Zhichao said: "By the way, Brother Gao Fu! I plan to set up a real estate company, buy old buildings and land, rebuild the properties, and then sell them. So, I invite you to come to this company to help me."

Li Gaofu and Chen Shufang were dumbfounded. What had his cousin been doing since he disappeared for more than a month?

"The real estate company, that's a huge investment!" Li Gaofu said uncertainly.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Step by step, one or two buildings will be built in the initial stage. I won't make this joke for you."

Li Gaofu calmed down and asked again: "But I am an employee of a trading house, will I not be able to help you in any way?"

Even so, he was eager to give it a try, after all, this cousin might be really prosperous.

Lin Zhichao said: "What's the matter? This is the first time for everyone, so just learn slowly."

Li Gaofu had no doubts anymore and immediately said decisively: "No problem, I will work with you!"

Chen Shufang hurriedly kicked him under the table, saying, "Why don't you ask clearly about the salary?" Then she agreed immediately, with an eager expression on her face.

After all, Li Gaofu's salary affects the lives of his family of four. He has to send twenty or thirty yuan back to his hometown every month. Their life is very stressful.

Lin Zhichao couldn't see the reason, so he said with a smile: "Okay! I trust you and know how you behave, so I will give you a monthly salary of 180 Hong Kong dollars. If you do well, you will get a bonus at the end of the year, and your salary will also be increased. .”

Li Gaofu immediately said: "Whoever raises your salary as soon as possible, just give me HK$150. If you do a good job, you can raise your salary again."

He originally had this salary and was a 'white-collar worker' with a high income.

Chen Shufang no longer had the energy to participate in this matter and could only immerse herself in the work. However, she was relieved that her husband's help would not be free of charge.

Lin Zhichao said resolutely: "I'm poaching people, so naturally I have to give them a higher salary. And let's make it clear first that the entrepreneurial stage will definitely be very hard."

Li Gaofu himself didn't know what was going on, and he felt like working hard, so he vowed: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you!"

Lin Zhichao nodded. He was just starting his business now, so it was necessary to have a trusted handyman.

Li Gaofu has read a lot of books, can speak some English, and has seen some things in the world. He is more than enough to be a clerk. He will be used according to his talents in the future.

After Lin Zhichao left, Chen Shufang complained: "You didn't even ask Zhichao how much money he had, yet you dared to buy real estate." She still didn't believe it. Lin Zhichao had hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

Li Gaofu showed the dominance of a man and said: "What do you know? Zhichao is the kind of person who talks nonsense. He doesn't have hundreds of thousands of dollars in his hands, but he dares to buy you hundreds of milk powder, and he dares to wear hundreds of suits. suit."

Chen Shufang was shocked again and said in disbelief: "How did he earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he has only been out for more than a month?"

Li Gaofu said nonchalantly: "That's his business. What do we do with the boss's affairs? Besides, didn't he say that if he helps a Shanghai boss handle some things, he might be appreciated by others and lend him a lot of money? of."

"Okay! Then let's give it a try. If one day our ambition becomes super-developed, we must not forget you as our benefactor."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't say that I or you are Zhichao's benefactor in front of anyone in the future, not even in front of me. The more you act like this, the more disgusting others will find you."

"I know, but Zhichao is really..."

"You still say it!"

"Stop talking, why are you so mean! What if you scare the child!"

Chen Shufang didn't know anything, but because of her face, she could only use her children as a shield. And she was already happy in her heart, looking forward to the day when her husband would follow suit.
