Chapter 144: Sun Yee On, the Future of the Sun Yee On
Chapter 144: Sun Yee On, the Future of the Sun Yee On
"Hello, Mr. Yang." Mr. Wu also shook hands and said with a smile, "Among the many 'kings' in Hong Kong, you are the one I admire the most. You started from scratch in a squatter-like environment in just one year. I admire you."
"Thank you for the compliment. I have to start a business due to financial difficulties." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Sir Wu said with a smile: “What a person who is forced by life. There are thousands of people in the world who are oppressed by life, but there are very few who can be like Mr. Yang.
Not to mention me, even many of the British people I know, after learning about your story, have become very interested in you and admire you."
"White man? That's good news." Yang Wendong said with a faint smile.
Self-made, these four words really have weight. People naturally have a good impression of such people, because most people are ordinary people, they naturally hope to turn things around, and if they can't turn things around, they will admire those who have succeeded;
Even people who have good conditions will have a certain degree of favorable impression when they see others' experience of starting from scratch. It is really too difficult.
Another thing is that all the businesses Yang Wendong has been doing from the beginning of his business to now are new markets. There is no competition or conflict with local giants. It is a natural safe haven. Few smart people would be bored enough to conflict with people who have no vested interest in them. It is better to make friends with them.
Zhao Chengguang said, "Everyone, let's go in. The food and drinks have been prepared."
"Okay, please come in, Sir Wu." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
"Please." Sir Wu did not put on airs. Although he was not afraid in front of the wealthy Hong Kong businessmen, it would be better if he could establish a good relationship with them.
Several people soon took their seats and chatted for a while. Sir Wu was obviously very interested in Yang Wendong's entrepreneurial process and asked a lot of questions. Yang Wendong also told him some of the truth.
After a while of talking, Mr. Wu said, "Mr. Yang's entrepreneurial experience is really wonderful. Come, I'll toast you a glass."
"Okay." Yang Wendong also raised his glass and took a sip of Maotai sauce. Yang Wendong also felt hungry for the food in front of him.
The few of them then enjoyed the food while chatting. As for business, they did not talk about it at all. In fact, Zhao Chengguang, as the middleman, had already discussed how to cooperate long before they came.
This Sir Wu, through some connections, controlled a cotton spinning mill that specialized in producing protective gauze gloves and work clothes for workers. In the future, these two items of Changxing Industrial will be handed over to them.
However, even if there is a relationship, the service still needs to be in place. The amount required must be delivered immediately after a phone call is made and it cannot affect the company's operations. This is also a rule that has been set long ago.
With the current scale of Changxing Industry, even if it is not the main supply of materials, just some of the various logistical materials are enough to support many people.
Of course, it is not possible to make a fortune by this. This is just the initial cooperation model between the two parties. If Sir Wu can play a stronger role in the future, Yang Wendong will naturally allocate greater benefits to him.
After all, when your own sticky hooks are on the market in the future, as long as there are some orders, you can easily support a plastic factory. If there are enough orders, an inexperienced person can also open a factory. When the scale of the industrial factory is expanded, you can easily lead a large group of people to become rich.
It was our first meeting, just to get to know each other, and we didn't talk about anything else. So far, Yang Wendong has no trouble, and no one, whether in the underworld or the white world, has taken the initiative to cause trouble for him. It may be because his own business has no conflict of interest with anyone in Hong Kong.
After they separated, on the way back, Wei Zetao said, "Mr. Yang, I have already inquired about it. There is a large plastic factory near Tsim Sha Tsui that belongs to the Ngee Ann Society. This gang was cracked down by the Hong Kong government in 53.
In recent years, they have been much more low-key and have started to engage in many legitimate businesses. Although some shady elements are still there, they seem to be gradually moving away from them. "
"Ngee Ann Society?"
Now that he has entered the sight of Hong Kong citizens, in order to consolidate his wealth, he needs to extend his network of relationships outward. However, Hong Kong is so small that those who were able to leave a name in their previous lives are all people with some power in this era.
When it comes to gangs, probably no one can avoid the Sun Yee On, which was very famous in the previous life.
Wei Zetao nodded and said, "Yes, there are several formal companies under the Yi'an Association, one of which is a plastic factory. I have also arranged for someone to visit them in the name of normal business cooperation.
They didn’t have any doubts and just thought it was normal cooperation, and they also showed that they wanted to do the OEM for us.”
"Well, OK." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Don't be too deliberate. You can be a little impolite when appropriate. We are the customers, and it is normal to have such an attitude.
Don’t place too many orders at the beginning, and increase them appropriately based on the situation later.”
"No problem. If we go for a big cooperation right away, it will arouse suspicion from the other party." Wei Zetao said with a smile: "We will cooperate slowly, and the price will follow the market rules, and there will be no preferential treatment.
Boiling a frog in warm water, as long as the future order volume is large enough, they will naturally find that there is actually an opportunity to make money here legitimately. "
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this for now, but you don't have to show up. Your status is too high. Just arrange for an ordinary engineer from the purchasing department to show up, and don't tell him the specific situation.
But the other party is a gang after all, so make it clear to the purchaser, don't be too difficult to them, just be moderate, otherwise it will be troublesome to be hacked. " "It shouldn't be a big deal, since these gangs are doing legitimate business, at least within the scope of this business, they are restrained, at most they will be beaten. "Wei Zetao paused and said:
"But we should also be responsible for our employees. I will inform all purchasers not to be arrogant or difficult with all suppliers in the future. If they don't listen and get beaten again, they will just be unlucky."
"Okay, if something goes wrong, we'll give them some compensation." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "That's it for this part. We'll just pretend we don't know. When the scale gets bigger in the future, they can't do without our legitimate business, and that will be considered a success."
"Yes, it's the same for other people anyway." Wei Zetao said with a smile.
"Hmm..." Yang Wendong thought for a moment and said, "Contact a headhunter and ask him to help me find someone who has worked in the newspaper industry for a long time. I plan to invest in building a newspaper as soon as possible."
At the rate of growth of Post-it Notes, the scale of exports and tax payments may be exposed in the first half of next year, so he needs to prepare early.
The seeds have now been planted in both the black and white worlds. In the future, these two seeds will slowly take root and sprout, and they will add some water and fertilizer when the time is right.
On the other hand, in the field of media, if you own a newspaper, even if you don’t have to be among the top sellers, as long as it has some fame, it will be of great help to you.
However, we are still unsure whether we can succeed in this field. Even if we can succeed in the end, it will take some time, so we need to prepare early.
Wei Zetao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to the headhunter."
"Okay." Yang Wendong said, "Then next, just focus on the production capacity, quality and delivery of sticky notes."
"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Yang. From now on, all of us will do our best to make the sticky notes." Wei Zetao said.
The sudden expansion of production capacity is a great test for everyone in the company. However, as long as we can get through this period, there will be more skilled people and everyone will get used to it, and things will gradually get easier.
……
Two days later, at a factory in northern Tsim Sha Tsui, a man in his 25s looked at a piece of paper in his hand and asked the people around him: "Lao Liu, is this plastic hook the new large-volume order you received recently?"
"Yes." Old Liu said, "Xiang Sheng, you will never guess which company placed this order for us?"
"Oh, which one?" Xiang Huayan asked curiously.
The Ngee Ann Society was a large organization and employed a large number of people, but these people were both thugs and workers, otherwise the Ngee Ann Society would not be able to support so many unproductive brothers.
If you want to be my brother, you must work hard for me. Only those who can make money for me are my brothers. If not, get out of here. There are too many young people out there who don’t have enough to eat. I have as many as you want.
Therefore, many of its factories are also one of the core industries of the Ngee Ann Association. After all, those paid parking lots, casinos, and vegetable markets were all built with the lives of the most powerful brothers.
If the factory is well managed, it can accommodate more jobs, and neither other gangs nor the police will cause trouble here for no reason.
The Anyi Plastic Factory where I work now is one of the best among them. Hundreds of people work here, and the community also attaches great importance to this factory.
Old Liu said, "It's Changxing Industry."
"Changxing Industry?" Xiang Huayan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of it. I've only heard of Changjiang Industry."
Old Liu shook his head and said, "No, it's another one. The name of the Sticky Note King? Xiang Sheng should have heard of it recently, right?"
"I've heard of this Changxing Industry, is it owned by the sticky note king?" Xiang Huayan asked quickly.
Old Liu said, “Yes.”
Xiang Huayan asked again: "Aren't these sticky notes made of paper? Why do you want us to supply plastic parts?"
Old Liu shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but they are all big-name industrialists, so it's normal for them to diversify. Don't many factories produce dozens of products?"
"That's right." Xiang Huayan also thought it made sense and said, "In that case, you have to do a good job here and try to get this big order. With these orders, the brothers in the society will have work to do. Otherwise, they will cause trouble after a long time."
"I understand, Xiangsheng." Old Liu said with a smile.
