Chapter 35 Registering a Company
Chapter 35 Registering a Company
"5000? But it's far from enough." Yang Wendong said calmly.
The average salary in Hong Kong now is 80 per month, or 1000 per year.
5000 yuan is just one person's salary for five years. It is like exterminating rats at Pudong Wharf in the future with only a budget of several hundred thousand yuan.
Are you kidding me?
Wang Zhixian said with a smile: "Of course it's not enough, this is just a reward, the premise is that you can really eliminate the rats in the Kowloon Wharf on a large scale.
We are responsible for the consumption required in this process, as long as your procurement of materials and employment needs are not too outrageous. "
"Well, in that case, I need to think about it first." Yang Wendong did not agree immediately.
5000 yuan was very attractive to him, but it was definitely not easy to get it.
In this era, with this much money, you can buy a small, decent house in a remote location.
If you need to start a second business in the future, you will also need funds.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Wang Zhixian also understood that this matter was very serious and was not in a hurry.
In the evening, when the four entrepreneurial groups gathered together, Yang Wendong told the three of them what had happened today.
"Rat extermination at the dock?" Su Yiyi was a little surprised after hearing the story.
Zhao Liming and Lin Haoyu had similar expressions.
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Yes, the Wharf, you know how big it is. It's very difficult."
People who often travel to Hong Kong in later generations know that the largest shopping mall in Hong Kong is called Harbour City, which belongs to the Wharf Group of the Wu family, one of the top ten families in Hong Kong.
Many people also know that Hutchison Whampoa was acquired by shipping magnate Yue-kong Pao in the 1980s and then passed on to his son-in-law, the Wu family.
But few people know that Harbour City Shopping Mall was actually one of the three major cargo terminals in Hong Kong in the 50s decades ago.
Before container transportation became popular, docks were the richest assets in a place, and even a dock could support an entire city.
Throughout Hong Kong, there are countless people working for the docks. Even the existence of many warehouses depends on the docks. Even Yang Wendong’s current business is essentially an indirect service to the docks.
"How can we eliminate rats in such a large wharf? There are a lot of rental houses and people living nearby." Zhao Liming frowned and said, "Even if we spend manpower to eliminate rats in the wharf, the rats in the surrounding businesses and houses will still run over there."
After several months of learning how to read, write and catch mice from Yang Wendong, combined with the practical experience gained over the past few months, the three of them have become semi-experts in this area.
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "It's impossible to completely wipe out the rats, but we can still kill them on a large scale. In fact, the docks don't expect to really kill all the rats, but it's enough to reduce the number a lot."
Su Yiyi asked: "Brother Dong, do you have any good ideas?"
"I have some ideas at the moment, but some preparation is still needed," said Yang Wendong.
"What preparations?" Su Yiyi asked again.
Yang Wendong said: "I have to register a company first."
"Why?" Su Yiyi asked, and then said: "Brother Dong, I understand that you want to register a company in the future, but what does this have to do with it?"
Yang Wendong said: "This cooperation with Wharf Holdings is a way to increase our reputation, so we have to register a company.
As long as we can help Wharf Wharf get rid of a large number of rats this time, then Whampoa and Taikoo Wharf will most likely come to us, and even other warehouses will be the same. This is the opportunity I want to seize."
Lin Haoyu, who was sitting next to him, asked: "Brother Dong, but there is a problem. No matter what method we use, although we are the first to use it, others can also learn it. Just like the mousetrap you made before, many people are making it now."
Su Yiyi also said: "Yes, even among those who followed us, two people left this month, and they were two people who learned well."
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "We can't control this kind of thing, so I have to register a company, because next, what I want to do needs to be patented. As long as the patent is in hand, I can do it alone."
"Patent?" Su Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "Brother Dong, in theory, patents are like this, but in Hong Kong..."
During this period, they all learned a lot from Yang Wendong. Yang Wendong even explained some things in the newspaper to them to increase their knowledge.
They also know something about things like patents.
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "You can all think of it, and of course I can think of it too. The current legal environment in Hong Kong is indeed not good, but on the surface, the law is still obeyed.
The most important thing is that what I prepared needs to be registered for patents in developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan. As long as I get their patents, that will be enough.
As for Hong Kong, it may not have many connections to brazenly infringe on the patents of such low-end industries. Even if they do, they probably won’t use their connections for such a small profit.”
Su Yiyi nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Dong is really thoughtful. What kind of mouse-catching tool should we make? Can we also register a patent?"
Yang Wendong said: "Don't worry, registering patents in Europe, America and Japan requires a lot of money. I have to discuss it with Wang Zhixian again."
"Oh oh." Su Yiyi didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, Yang Wendong went to Wang Zhixian's company.
Wang Zhixian was shocked when he heard Yang Wendong's intention: "You want to advance 2000?"
"Yes, given our current cooperation, 2000 yuan, you are not worried that I will run away with the money, right?" Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Wang Zhixian shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I'm just curious what you want the 2000 yuan for. We paid for the rat extermination this time."
He also knew that Yang Wendong could earn several hundred yuan a week just by exterminating rats in warehouses, so it was impossible for him to run away for 2000 yuan.
I guess it’s because the previous cooperation was too short and they didn’t have much money on hand, so they had to advance the fees.
"I know that I need the money for other purposes. I want to register my own company," Yang Wendong explained.
Wang Zhixian was not surprised and said, "Yeah, that's right. You should have your own company by now."
"This will make it easier for us to cooperate in the future," said Yang Wendong.
Wang Zhixian nodded and said, "Okay, I can advance you 2000. I hope you won't let us down. If you promise to exterminate rats at the dock and fail to do it or do it poorly, my boss's loss will probably be as high as tens of thousands. More importantly, it will affect his reputation."
"I see. Thank you, Mr. Wang." Yang Wendong asked again, "Does Mr. Wang know any lawyers who can provide better services?"
