Chapter 202 Industrial Park Site Selection and the 61st Spring Festival

Early February 1961:

Yang Wendong and Su Yiyi came to the factory of Changxing Industrial.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but the entire factory is still bustling with activity.

Wei Zetao also accompanied the boss and his wife to the workshop and introduced them to them one by one.

After walking through a workshop, Yang Wendong asked, "As for production and quality, I remember there have been seven or eight foreign complaints in the past six months. How can we improve this aspect?"

Changxing Industrial's products are now sold to many overseas countries. Although the products are simple, problems will always arise due to too large quantities.

In particular, many products are produced by suppliers. Even if there is Changxing Industrial's assembly factory to check the terminal, the outflow of problematic products cannot be avoided.

Therefore, Yang Wendong would not care about or pursue minor problems, but he would also pay attention to major complaints. At the headquarters office, the team responsible for Changxing Industry would always sort out the quality issues and report them to Yang Wendong.

In the second half of last year, Changxing Industrial received several major complaints, mainly about post-it notes.

Wei Zetao replied: "In response to several previous complaints, we have also made a detailed analysis based on the problems, and then based on the conclusions, we have taken measures to avoid similar incidents from happening again."

"But this is just another problem." Yang Wendong asked again: "For unknown problems, we can't just do nothing and wait for them to appear, right?"

Managing a factory is a very complex subject. If you want to build a great business, in addition to having epoch-making creativity, you also need strong management and quality control capabilities.

Otherwise, even if it was a hit product like Apple's in the past, if one out of 100,000 really exploded and injured someone, the entire Apple brand would be ruined, no matter how amazing Jobs's inventiveness was.

There are no similar safety issues with his own sticky notes, suitcases, etc., but the company's quality culture needs to be established. Since Hong Kong is about to begin rapid development of the electronics industry, he will not be able to miss out on this opportunity.

Wei Zetao then said with a smile: "We have recruited six Chinese quality engineers from large Japanese automakers such as Toyota and Honda. In the future, they will be responsible for building the company's quality management system.

Although we are far from automotive products, we can still share some similarities.”

"Well, it's good to learn from engineers in the automotive industry." Yang Wendong nodded, and then said: "We need to form this into a system, a rule, just like the company culture.

In addition, once we become proficient, we will also assist our suppliers to improve quality. When the suppliers’ quality is good, we can feel more assured.”

The scale of Changxing Industrial is actually not small in Asia, and several of its products are also best-sellers in many places.

In this case, it is much easier to poach people from large companies in Europe, the United States and Japan, unlike in the early days when it was difficult to find people.

"Okay, Mr. Yang." Wei Zetao quickly agreed and said, "We will continue to ask the suppliers to improve."

After walking for a while, Yang Wendong asked, "What gifts are you going to give to your employees for the New Year this year?"

According to Yang Wendong's habit in his previous life, most companies would give gifts to employees during the four festivals, such as moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, rice dumplings and duck eggs during the Dragon Boat Festival, etc., and gifts were especially important before the Chinese New Year.

After Changxing Industry was established, even in its early stages of development, it always provided basic food to its employees. This became the culture of Changxing Industry and even the entire Changxing Group.

Wei Zetao replied: "This year, each factory worker can get a 50 yuan red envelope for the Spring Festival, plus 20 kilograms of rice and flour, 5 kilograms of bacon, a salted chicken, a barrel of oil and a bag of salt."

"There are quite a lot of things." Yang Wendong smiled. This is a lot more than last year.

Wei Zetao said with a smile: "This year the company's profits are much higher than last year. In fact, the funds you approved before are twice as much as last year, so we have replaced them with the simplest food."

"Okay, it's better to exchange it for food than some empty things." Yang Wendong nodded and asked again: "With so many supplies, will the purchase affect the market?"

Today, Changxing Industrial's factory has more than 3000 employees. Purchasing so many supplies at one time may not affect the entire Hong Kong market, but it is hard to say about the area around Tsim Sha Tsui.

"No." Wei Zetao shook his head and said, "We have discussed it directly with China Resources Group. They will import these materials from the mainland and then deliver them directly to our factory."

"China Resources?" It was rare for Yang Wendong to hear such a familiar name. Most people in his previous life knew this state-owned enterprise.

Wei Zetao explained: "Yes, most of Hong Kong's food comes from the mainland, and China Resources Group is the company responsible for the import and export business of the mainland."

"Okay, I understand." Yang Wendong said.

During this era, the mainland had no source of foreign exchange and its main source of foreign exchange depended on Hong Kong’s demand for materials.

After walking around for a while, Yang Wendong became familiar with the factory again. He met some employees on the way, some of whom knew Yang Wendong and greeted him politely.

Everyone looks at Yang Wendong with eyes full of gratitude and respect. Working here brings hope to their lives.

……

After returning to the office, Yang Wendong asked, "How is the address of the future industrial park in Kwun Tong?"

Although this matter has not yet been decided, even if it is decided, the location will need to be negotiated with the Hong Kong government, but you can also choose a few suitable ones first and negotiate with the Hong Kong government in the future.

As for Changxing Real Estate, just continue with the acquisition. Even if the 10,000-person industrial park project fails, it will never be a loss to invest in real estate at this time.

"I'm optimistic about three places at the moment." Wei Zetao took out a map from his side, pointed to the three circled places and said, "Mr. Yang, look, these three locations are not far from the seaside, the transportation is also good, and the ground is pretty good. Relatively speaking, it is relatively flat, and we can build a large industrial park similar to Japan."

Yang Wendong looked at the location and asked, "A place like this should already be inhabited, right?"

Wei Zetao said: "Yes, there are some villages. If we want to build factories here, we need to demolish them. In these three places, the minimum number of households involved will be 200, and the maximum number will be more than 600.

However, the location is better in places with more households, so the specific location to be chosen will still require further negotiations with the Hong Kong government.”

"It's normal. Most people would prefer places with good locations." Yang Wendong smiled and asked, "When are you going to tell the Hong Kong government about this?"

Wei Zetao replied: "That depends on what you, Mr. Yang, think. Mr. Zheng is still acquiring properties in Kwun Tong?"

Yang Wendong shook his head and said, “He won’t be there for long. Many properties listed now have been accumulated over a long period of time. He is acquiring them in a short period of time.

Once the suitable acquisitions are almost complete, it will be difficult to put new properties for sale later. If you are sure of these three locations, I will notify him and ask him to complete it as soon as possible in February. You can then prepare to negotiate this matter with the Hong Kong government. "

"Okay." Wei Zetao agreed and said, "Then I will prepare it at the end of February. I guess this matter will be kept confidential in the initial stage, so it can give Zheng Sheng more time.
But Mr. Yang, this matter was raised by your friend, and I think it would be better to communicate with the Hong Kong government through your friend."

"Of course, this matter was first proposed by the Hong Kong government." Yang Wendong agreed and said, "It's just that my friend only wants me to invest a little, but we will invest a big one."

The Hong Kong government needs to solve the employment problem of a large number of refugees, and it needs to construct an industrial park with concentrated locations. Both sides can benefit from it.

Whether it is business cooperation or cooperation between enterprises and the government, it is just like a young man and woman falling in love. Whoever confesses first will be inferior.

As for Elena, her purpose is to help the homeless, so she doesn't care what the outcome of the talks between the Hong Kong government and Yang Wendong is. This doesn't count as taking advantage of a friend.

"Okay, then I will prepare the relevant information first." Wei Zetao said.

"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and said.

February 2:
This day is not only Valentine's Day in the West, but also the night of the 30th in China:

Basically, everyone in Changxing Group has already had a holiday, except for Changxing Industrial, which, due to heavy production tasks, has chosen to attract workers to work by offering double wages, extra red envelopes and a holiday after the holidays.

Not everyone wants to take a break during the Chinese New Year. Many people who come to Hong Kong are alone and may just want to make money. It doesn’t matter which day they take a break. It would be better to make more money during the Chinese New Year and then take a break later.

Or if someone has a family to support, they need money even more. Yang Wendong's policy is also based on mutual consent. Although he is in a dominant position, if there are really not enough people, he will pay the workers more to work overtime.

It's very overbearing, but the workers won't dislike it.

……

In the morning, Yang Wendong brought Su Yiyi and his former playmates and founding members Lin Haoyu and Zhao Liming to Kwun Tong.

A few people were walking on the streets of Kwun Tong, eating roadside delicacies and looking at the scenery.

Su Yiyi said: "Brother Dong, Kwun Tong doesn't feel as good as Tsim Sha Tsui."

"It's a little bit worse." Yang Wendong nodded.

Even if Tsim Sha Tsui is not there, it will become the commercial center of Hong Kong in the future. Kwun Tong is much worse. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was considered one of the industrial centers of Hong Kong, and after the new century, there are still many abandoned industrial buildings.

However, this is in line with the current requirements of Changxing Industry. There is a large population gathering here, there is a lot of open land, and the transportation is also quite good. If we can build this place into our own industrial center in the future, the economy will naturally be better.

As for Tsim Sha Tsui, I also have a lot of land there, so it would be nice to let it develop into a future commercial center. The sticky note factory is not planning to move away, so a lot of industry can be preserved.

Zhao Liming next to him asked, "Brother Dong, are you planning to invest in real estate here? I heard that Changxing Real Estate has recently acquired a large number of properties here?"

"Is that so?" Yang Wendong didn't explain anything.

The matter of the Ten Thousand People Industrial Park is confidential, but Changxing Real Estate's actions cannot be kept secret. But it doesn't matter if outsiders know about it. The real estate company itself has to choose a place to invest, and it chose Kwun Tong. Others just think that this investment decision is a bit strange and will not think too much about it.

Lin Haoyu said with a smile: "What's wrong, Liming, you also want to buy a house in Kwun Tong? Dong Ge has a good eye. Anyway, you are not ready to get married, why not just follow Dong Ge and invest."

"That won't work." Zhao Liming shook his head and said, "I'm going to buy a house in Hong Kong Island in the future. I'll wait for Brother Dong's next property and then take a look."

"Okay, I'll give you the highest discount." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

Su Yiyi asked: "Haoyu, when do you plan to get married?"

Lin Haoyu said: "Once the Tixiang family delivers the house, it will be almost done."

"Okay, I'll prepare a big gift for you when the time comes." Yang Wendong smiled, then looked at Liming and asked, "Liming, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Well." Zhao Liming hesitated for a while and said, "Is it settled?"

Su Yiyi asked: "If we talked about it, we talked about it. If we didn't, we didn't. What do you mean by forget it?"

Lin Haoyu said with a smile: "Sister Yiyi, you don't know that Liming is dating two girls at the same time. He is really unfaithful."

Zhao Liming quickly said, "Nonsense, I haven't confirmed the relationship, I just haven't decided yet."

Su Yiyi smiled and said, "Great, Liming, but please don't harm the girl."

"Don't worry, I'm a good person." Zhao Liming said.

Yang Wendong said, "Decide as soon as possible and get married early. After you have children, it will be more fun for you to play together in the future."

Once people get married, even the best friends they used to be will not keep in touch with each other much, unless they have children, then that is acceptable.

At noon, several people had lunch at a restaurant in Kwun Tong, and then went to see several surrounding areas. These places were exactly the places chosen by Wei Zetao. Yang Wendong’s purpose of coming to Kwun Tong was also for this, to take a look at the scene.

However, only Su Yiyi and he knew about this.

In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, Yang Wendong called the security personnel who had been following him and sent cars to take everyone home.

After arriving at her villa, Aunt Guo had already arranged for the chef to prepare dinner.

After helping her daughter, Aunt Guo said, "Yiyi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, so you'd better not walk too far."

Before Yang Wendong could say anything, Su Yiyi said, "Mom, you can't stay around here every day, right? When you were pregnant with me, weren't you still taking refuge?"

"Okay, you are right." Aunt Guo couldn't argue with her daughter.

Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Okay, we should still maintain our normal life. Let's go, it's the Spring Festival."
