Chapter 137 Hong Kong's New Business Legend: The King of Post-it Notes
Two days later:
Editor-in-Chief Li looked at the collected information and said in surprise, "In just one year, you started from a place like a squatter's house and built a business like this today? Are you sure this is true and not made up?
You wouldn't dare write a novel like this, right?"
"Editor-in-Chief Li, these are all true." Ah Jun said with a smile: "I found an employee working for Changxing Industrial through some connections and asked him about these things.
Although this person did not know the specific situation of their boss Yang Wendong, everyone in the factory knew that their boss was also born in a slum. He started out making mousetraps and selling them at the vegetable market. Then he started taking on some mouse extermination business in warehouses. Later he took on the business of the Kowloon Wharf and it was said that he made a lot of money at one time.
Then I opened a factory to make mouse traps, and then sticky notes, and the factory grew bigger and bigger.”
"It's incredible." Editor-in-Chief Li looked at the information and said, "Hong Kong has produced many wealthy people over the years, but someone like Yang Wendong is really..."
Ah Jun said with a smile: "That's right. When I found out about it, I felt like I was dreaming. I never thought that someone's entrepreneurial process could be so magical and that they could achieve such success in just over a year.
I found out from the Hong Kong government that the factory currently under construction by Changxing Industrial was purchased for nearly one million Hong Kong dollars. These funds should have come from the Liao Chong Hing Bank, but I couldn't find any more specific information.
According to the customs data, Changxing Industrial's export volume exceeded HK$30 per month, and this is the data for one workshop. Their new factory is at least ten times the size of the existing factory. Not to mention that exports have also increased tenfold, even if they increase fivefold, it is still an astonishing figure. "
"Is there a photo of him?" Editor-in-Chief Li asked after thinking for a moment.
Ah Jun shook his head and said, “No, his people seem to be very loyal to him, and I can only get these basic information. They are unwilling to tell me anything too confidential.
I don't even know where Yang Wendong lives, but that's because the time is too short. If I really want to investigate, I can still find it. At worst, I can just wait at the door of their company."
Editor-in-Chief Li smiled and said, "I'm afraid you'll get beaten up if you're discovered. Many of the ordinary positions that Changxing Industrial recruits are for young people living in squatters. Most of Hong Kong's industries are in Hong Kong Island. These people are in Tsim Sha Tsui. Apart from Changxing Industrial, they probably have nowhere else to go.
You also said that Changxing Industry treats its employees very well. What do you think would happen if they found out that you were spying on their boss?"
"This is because I was too careless." Ajun said quickly.
He also knew that many gangs in Hong Kong were actually made up of factory workers, and the most important factor was that the factory provided them with food, work, and money.
Especially for a company like Changxing Industrial, which is good to its workers, once they find someone with problems, even if they have no bad intentions, they will probably beat him up first. At that time, you will have received the beating in vain.
Editor-in-Chief Li thought for a moment and said, "This incident is big enough to become a big news in Hong Kong. I didn't expect that we would find out about it. Ah Jun, I will remember your contribution this time.
But we must investigate enough information before reporting it, otherwise if we make a mistake, it will become a joke in the Hong Kong newspaper industry.”
"What should I do next?" Ajun asked excitedly. Being able to discover explosive news is an honor for reporters.
Editor-in-Chief Li said, "I'll go find Miss Hu. Only if she uses her connections can we quickly find this information."
"Oh, okay." Ajun nodded. He also knew that his boss was a strong woman in the Hong Kong newspaper industry.
Editor-in-Chief Li quickly came to his boss's office with the existing information.
Hu Xian looked at the information brought by Editor-in-Chief Li and said in surprise: "I didn't expect there is such a person in Hong Kong. This entrepreneurial story is much more exciting than Li Jiacheng's."
Editor-in-Chief Li laughed and said, "Yes, in just over a year, he went from having trouble making ends meet to becoming the boss of a company with 2000 employees. I don't think you'll find such a person in Hong Kong, or even anywhere in the world."
Hu Xian nodded and said, “Then we must report it and use all our connections to find out how he got rich, such as this Dongcai Market and his cooperation with some warehouses;
Or the situation of Wharf Wharf, in short, these details should be checked more clearly. Only by truly reflecting his entrepreneurial process can we attract the interest of Hong Kong citizens. "
Editor-in-Chief Li shook his head and said with a smile: "Even if I wanted to make up a story, I couldn't. I wouldn't even dare to dream of such an entrepreneurial story. And if I make up a story, I'm afraid I would offend Mr. Yang Wendong."
"Well, as long as our reports are fair and without obvious errors and biases, there will generally be no problem." Hu Xian thought for a moment and said, "Do you think we should give him the title of 'King'?
Just like Li Jiacheng, he has the title of "Plastic Flower King".
"King?" Editor-in-Chief Li said, "On the way here just now, I was thinking, how about calling him the King of Post-it Notes?" Hu Xian asked, "Except for office workers in Hong Kong, most people don't know what Post-it Notes are, right?"
Editor-in-Chief Li laughed and said, "But basically everyone who buys or reads newspapers knows about Post-it Notes? Once he becomes famous, other people will naturally know what Post-it Notes are."
"Yeah, okay, send someone to investigate first." Hu Xian said, "As quickly as possible, otherwise if others find out, we'll miss out on a hot news story."
Editor-in-Chief Li agreed and said, "Okay, I'll take someone to check it out right away."
Two days later: Changxing Industrial Factory welcomed an unexpected "acquaintance" to Yang Wendong.
"Brother Biao?" Yang Wendong said with a smile as he looked at the "acquaintance" from the East Vegetable Market whom he hadn't seen for more than a year.
The person in front of him was none other than A Biao, the protection fee collector he met when he went to the East Vegetable Market to sell mouse traps when he just started his business. This was also the first time he had purchased mouse traps in bulk for himself.
Ah Biao shuddered all over and said in a flattering tone: "Mr. Yang, you should just call me Ah Biao. You are trying to kill me by calling me that."
He could not have imagined that a small vendor whom he once looked down upon would become a big shot beyond his reach in just one year. If it were not for the possible great benefits, he would not want to come here.
"Okay, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yang Wendong looked at Lin Haoyu who was standing beside him. He was the one who brought the person here.
Lin Haoyu said, "Brother Dong, one of my subordinates has a family member working in the Dong Vegetable Market. They found out someone was investigating you, so I immediately took people to investigate. Ah Biao found me at that time, but he asked to tell you the story in person."
"Investigate me?" Yang Wendong frowned, then said, "A Biao, explain clearly, there will be benefits."
"Okay." Ah Biao said quickly, "The people investigating you are from Galaxy Daily. They have been investigating you since yesterday..."
Yang Wendong listened carefully, then nodded and said, "Okay, go down. Here is 100 yuan. If you have any news in the future, you can also tell me. It will be beneficial to both of you."
"Thank you, Mr. Yang." A Biao quickly took the cash, then thanked him several times and left.
Lin Haoyu asked: "Brother Dong, this Galaxy Daily is investigating you, do you know why?"
"It's as expected. It's almost time." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "We are recruiting more than a thousand people in Tsim Sha Tsui. With such a scale, it will be discovered by the media sooner or later."
"That's right." Lin Haoyu nodded and asked, "Then do we need to prepare anything?"
Yang Wendong said: "Don't worry too much, come when you need to, but pay attention to safety. Arrange some of your brothers to live near our community and give them a phone so they can come if anything happens.
Also, pick some young men or those with good skills from among your own people and have them follow me."
Lin Haoyu asked in confusion: "Brother Dong, they don't know kung fu, will it work?"
Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "We're not asking them to kill anyone. It's mainly to prevent them from being surrounded by a bunch of people for interviews.
Besides, even if we really go to kill someone, do you think kung fu is important? You are wrong. The most important thing is not to be afraid of death and to be loyal. In this regard, our brothers are much better than those recruited from outside. "
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Lin Haoyu agreed.
On June 6, Galaxy Daily urgently added a daily report with the following front page:
[A business legend that emerged from a squatter’s house: the sticky note king]
PS: Sing Tao Daily was called Galaxy Daily before 1972.
