I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

The PG zipper factory applied for 20 mu of industrial land from the Hong Kong government, and received a reply in mid-April, asking Wu Guangyao to visit the chief secretary himself.

Wu Guangyao's heart is still quite uneasy. Although he thinks he is extraordinary, he has not reached that height yet!

Seeing an official of this level, I'm still a little nervous!

The Chief Secretary is not only one of the three departments, the Chief Secretary is also the first person under the Governor.

When the Governor of Hong Kong leaves Hong Kong, the Chief Secretary will act as the acting Governor of Hong Kong and act as the Governor of Hong Kong.

Whether it is now or in the future, the official residence of the Chief Secretary is at 15 Barker Road.

Coming here naturally aroused Wu Guangyao's fantasies. When will he be able to live in Baijiadao?

Taking Li Bing with them, the two came to the chief secretary, and the secretary's assistant told them to wait for a while!

How long is the wait?

Based on the experience of Wu Guangyao's later generations, it may take more than an hour.

However, today it was 20 minutes.

Fortunately, when we met, Wu Guangyao no longer felt the tension he had before.

The Chief Secretary is obviously an old fox. He chatted a few words first, and then cut into Wu Guangyao's background, political direction, and attitude towards the British Hong Kong government.

The background is very simple, the mainland is in turmoil, and no one is going to investigate, just seven points are true and three points are false.

For the rest, it is natural to need to clarify the position, what is judging the situation, what is the good bird to choose a tree to live on, what is the wind to make the rudder (it seems not very good).

There is no need to hesitate to stand in line at present, it is very clear!

At the end of the 1970s, I didn't need to stand in line at that time!

The strong form a team of their own, and only the weak must stand in line!

Sure enough, after Wu Guangyao finished speaking, the chief secretary's attitude towards him improved a lot.

"Wu, you need to report to me. How do you plan to use this land to build? What are the advantages of your factory? How many workers do you plan to employ? What is your investment amount?" The chief secretary began to get down to business, Said with a serious face.

"I plan to build two 5-story industrial plants and an office building... My zipper factory imported the most advanced automatic zipper machine from the United States; at the same time, I established Yaoshi Industry to further improve the machinery , and research and development of automatic slider punching machine. With modern machinery and cheap labor in Hong Kong Island, we are confident that we can sell zippers to the world... There is no maximum investment in this factory, the minimum start is 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the workers are conservative We need 2,000 people..." Wu Guangyao said more and more vigorously, although he thought that what he said was true, but the Chief Secretary felt that it was a bit outrageous.

There is no factory with 2,000 employees on Hong Kong Island yet, so that’s not how you brag!

"Wu, don't be so ambitious, the advantages you mentioned are not absolute. Do you know how big a factory with 2,000 people is?" the chief secretary said seriously, this person is too good at bragging!

Well, the chick know the lofty ambition!

It seems that we can only use the trump card. Wu Guangyao said seriously: "I am willing to sign an agreement with the Hong Kong government. Within five years, if my total investment does not reach 2 million Hong Kong dollars and the number of workers does not reach 2,000, the government can directly take back the land. .”

"Really? If that's the case, I've approved your 20 mu of land, and I can even give you a little discount." The Chief Secretary said, after all, if you can hire 2,000 people, it is equivalent to solving 2,000 people for the Hong Kong government. Trouble.

As more and more refugees flock to Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong government feels a headache.

I don't want to pay too much money for resettlement, but I'm also afraid that these refugees will join gangs and cause trouble.

then what should we do?

Naturally, some policies are given!

So Wu Guangyao knew that the Hong Kong government would come up with a countermeasure in a year or two.

That is to encourage big businessmen who come to Hong Kong to invest in building factories, and the Hong Kong government will give you cheap tax rates and cheap land.

Therefore, those big businessmen have invested in building factories one after another, and the economy of Hong Kong Island has taken off since the 1950s!

In the end, the two parties signed an agreement. Wu Guangyao read it carefully several times, and only after signing without traps did he sign his own name.

Of course Wu Guangyao is confident. After all, his two factories combined now have more than 500 workers.

Could it be that in five years, I have not developed a scale of less than 2,000 people?

After the Hong Kong government agreed, Wu Guangyao and Li Bingli returned to Shau Chi Wan and found the person in charge, Smith.

At present, there are not many industrial areas on Hong Kong Island, so I chose the familiar Shau Kei Wan.

Kwun Tong was not developed until 1950, and Tseung Kwan O was not developed until the 1970s......

Xiaoqiwan has obvious advantages at present. The transportation of raw materials and goods can be directly transported to the port by ship, which is extremely convenient.

Smith was very straightforward and asked Wu Guangyao to choose 20 acres of land himself.

As long as it is suitable, draw the line immediately and carry out land registration.

After all, the chief secretary agreed, and the better Wu Guangyao's factory runs, the more political achievements he has, and the less trouble he will have.

Li Bing had a goal long ago and led a group of people to the destination.

"Mr. Smith, please see that there are only 5 refugee households living in a piece of land here, and they are all made of iron houses. We are willing to provide a subsidy of 200 Hong Kong dollars to allow these refugees to relocate."

Smith said without hesitation: "Okay, then this land. The refugee relocation will be handled by our government, and you can take it in a week later!"

Wu Guangyao and Li Bing were taken aback, otherwise what would it mean for them to participate?

What if you forcibly expel and embezzle the 1,000 Hong Kong dollars!

Wu Guangyao reacted quickly and said, "Then thank Mr. Smith!"

Back at the factory, Wu Guangyao told Li Bing: "In two days, you will go to the five refugee homes in private and ask, does the government have a subsidy of 200 Hong Kong dollars? If not, you will come forward to compensate them, and don't say anything, so as not to embarrass Smith. .”

"Mr. Wu, are you afraid that Smith will drive away those refugee families without subsidizing them?" Li Bing said uneasy.

"You said that you are a refugee, and there is no formality. Doesn't the Hong Kong government have the right to expel them? These don't care about our business. We just need to do our own thing and have a clear conscience!" Twelve thousand Hong Kong dollars, Wu Guangyao didn't take it to heart either, he gave it twice, it was better than making an enemy!

"Well, I see, I promise to handle this matter well. It not only takes care of the refugees, but also prevents Smith from losing face!"

Only then did Wu Guangyao feel relieved. After all, forced demolitions are despised by others in later generations.

Although those refugees have no formalities, they cannot deprive others of their right to survive. Besides, Hong Kong Island belongs to China.

What Yaoshi Industrial leased was just an old-fashioned tenement house located in Shaukiwan, and now it has grown to a scale of more than a dozen people. R \u0026 D personnel and clerks each accounted for half.

The reason why so many clerks are recruited is naturally that they plan to send some people to Europe to apply for patents for the research results of Yaoshi Industry, and at the same time to investigate the situation of German machinery manufacturing companies.

Wu Guangyao plans to hand over the subsequent automatic zipper machines of the PG zipper factory to the Federal Republic of Germany for manufacturing, because Germany itself has machinery companies that can manufacture automatic zipper machines.

Of course, the subsequent automatic zipper machines have been improved, and compared with the current mechanical efficiency and quality, they can at least increase by more than 20%.

And the developed automatic slider punching machine was built by Dongying Contact Machinery Company.

Although there is a risk of leakage, the development of this machine itself is not difficult, so just take a gamble and forget about it, so as not to increase the cost.

It took less than half a year for the later YKK zippers to develop an automatic slider punching machine, which shows that there is really no difficulty.

Even if it is an improved automatic zipper machine, it is actually not difficult. After 2 months of research and development, Yaoshi Industry has already formed a certain prototype.

In fact, the biggest contribution here is actually Wu Guangyao. Many design ideas were proposed by himself, and then the R\u0026D personnel conducted simulation experiments and found that they were really effective.

Wu Guangyao believes that he can go to Germany in the year after get off work and cooperate with a German machinery company to continuously produce automatic zipper machinery for himself.
