Chapter 224 Progress of the -person Industrial Park
After returning to Hong Kong, Yang Wendong naturally went back home first to play with little Zhiwen.

"Bo bo bo bo~~~" Yang Wendong shook the rattle, trying to attract his son's attention, but he was soon attracted by his mother again.

Su Yiyi smiled and said, "If you don't accompany him often, he won't be very familiar with you."

"It's good that you don't reject it." Yang Wendong also lay on the sofa, with his head level with his son, then looked at the baby's profile, enjoying the peace.

Su Yiyi asked: "You just got off the plane, do you want to rest for a while?"

Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "It's only 4 o'clock now. I'm afraid if I go to bed too early, I'll wake up early at night. I'd better stay up a little longer so I can accompany my son."

"Okay, I'll prepare some Tremella soup for you." Su Yiyi said and prepared to get up.

Yang Wendong said: "Give me something cold."

"Yeah." Su Yiyi agreed and then went to the kitchen, while Yang Wendong continued to tease his son.

At three months old, he already had his own expressions. After being teased for a while, he started laughing happily.

After Su Yiyi came up with the Tremella soup, she said with a smile, "You are quite good at coaxing him."

"Yeah, I also like to play with children." Yang Wendong took the Tremella soup: "It's just that some work is more important and I still need to worry about it myself, otherwise I can accompany him more often."

Although Changxing Group has introduced a professional manager system, no boss can just let go and be at ease, especially since many companies are still in their start-up phase. As the founder and future strategic direction setter, he cannot be absent from important matters.

The financial and personnel rights were also in his own hands. Since he had the power, he naturally needed to do the corresponding things.

"Career comes first, otherwise your life will be too boring." Su Yiyi said with a smile.

The Yang family’s current wealth can be said to be enough to last for ten lifetimes as long as the younger generations don’t make trouble, start businesses blindly, or gamble.

But this kind of life is not what Yang Wendong pursues. Otherwise, in 59, a sticky note would be enough for all of them to live a carefree life.

Yang Wendong said: "Yiyi still understands me. When things are almost done during this period of time, I will spend more time with you at home."

In fact, in Hong Kong, no matter how busy you are, you can still spend half of your time with your family; but this is no longer possible in the United States.

Investing in Wal-Mart and recruiting relevant talents to operate supermarkets in Hong Kong is of self-evident importance, and will also be one of the best investments and industries for our group in the future.

Su Yiyi asked, "Then everything in the United States was successful."

"Success." Yang Wendong nodded, and then told her what had happened.

After listening to this, Su Yiyi said, "That means that we will prepare to acquire a large area of ​​property in Hong Kong and then turn it into a large grocery store, no, a supermarket."

"Yes, we need to acquire properties, and they must be in Central or nearby." Yang Wendong said: "In the early stages of development of an industry like supermarkets, they must be gathered together."

Su Yiyi said: "Not bad, if we can acquire it, it will be very valuable."

"Of course." Yang Wendong smiled and asked, "How is your clothing store going?"

Although Su Yiyi can be a full-time housewife, Yang Wendong can't really let her stay at home every day. In addition to being responsible for some matters in the general affairs department of the group, Su Yiyi also plans to open a clothing store out of her own hobby.

It can be considered a side job. It’s just an investment anyway, and there is a dedicated store manager to manage it.

Su Yiyi replied, "It's ready to open. Mr. Zheng helped me buy several street-side shops of about 1,000 square feet in Kwun Tong and North Point. They are still under renovation and will probably open in October."

"Not in Central? So you're planning to take the civilian route?" Yang Wendong asked back.

Su Yiyi nodded and said, "Yes, didn't you say before that the most profitable brands in the garment industry are not the high-end brands with huge profits, but the low-end and mid-end brands with large volumes?
So I decided to listen to your advice and make civilian clothing and sell it to ordinary Hong Kong citizens."

"Okay, then where is the source of goods?" Yang Wendong asked again.

Su Yiyi said: "I bought it from some factories in Hong Kong. I hired a more professional store manager named Shen, and she is in charge of everything."

"That's fine." Yang Wendong said, "Hong Kong's garment industry is actually pretty good. The United States has already started an anti-dumping investigation, so poor quality won't attract the attention of the US government."

The textile and garment industries are the first industries that any economy starts to develop after industrialization because they are so easy to get started with.

The same is true in Hong Kong. There were already many garment factories in the 20s and 30s. Later, due to the hard times, the development was delayed for a few years and then started to develop again 45 years later.

Even though the plastics industry has developed rapidly, Hong Kong's largest export trade has remained the textile and garment industries over the years. It was still one of the top five export industries in the 80s, until Hong Kong's industry declined and the textile industry moved to the mainland.

Su Yiyi asked curiously: "Anti-dumping investigation? What is it?"

"It means that some countries want to protect their own industries..." Yang Wendong explained this professional term to Su Yiyi.

Even though Su Yiyi is no longer illiterate, she still doesn't know some very rare words.

"Oh, I see." Su Yiyi nodded and said, "The United States is Hong Kong's largest export market. If tariffs are raised, many garment factories in Hong Kong will have a hard time."

"Yes, but we can't do anything about it." Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "This is actually a competition issue between Britain and the United States. Britain is protecting its Commonwealth market and not allowing outsiders to enter.

But we are exporting to the US normally. Do you think the Americans are angry?"

"That must be very angry." Su Yiyi also understood.

Yang Wendong said: "Yes, but this is none of our business. If you want to make the clothing industry a career, then you should do as much as possible to cultivate talents as we did in the early days of Changxing Industry.

I will have Changxing Real Estate purchase a large number of such shops in the next few days for your future expansion. Once you have enough talent, you can open a store directly."

In the real estate industry anywhere, there is one resource that is the most scarce, and that is street shops.

Because shopping malls like Wanda can be built in many places, and with sufficient financial resources, even barren places can be turned into commercial centers. This is also the charm of commercial plazas.

However, in prosperous areas, the number of old-style street shops is limited and there is no way to replicate them. Although more people will tend to go to squares in the future, this will not greatly affect the high value of the commercial street.

"Okay." Su Yiyi nodded and agreed: "I found that many Chinese people now don't even have normal short-sleeved shirts, and they still wear old clothes. If I can lower the price of short-sleeved shirts and let all ordinary people in Hong Kong wear short-sleeved shirts in summer, it will be considered an achievement."

"This is a good idea." Yang Wendong praised.

Including Yang Wendong a few years ago, the poor people all wore very old linen clothes in the summer, similar to the appearance of the Republic of China period.

Short sleeves are more likely to appear in towns.

If it can be replaced, the market will not be small, especially as the economy improves in the next few years, people will change their clothes more frequently.

Su Yiyi said: "Then I'll make a plan and show it to you."

"Okay, you just pick out the places first, and I'll let Changxing Real Estate buy the shops." Yang Wendong nodded.

For this thing, if you have money to buy a property, the plan and other things just don't have to be too bad.

...After resting at home for a day, Yang Wendong came to a 6-story building in Kwun Tong.

"Mr. Yang." Wei Zetao and Zheng Zhijie came at the same time to greet the boss.

"Is this your office now?" Yang Wendong asked.

Zheng Zhijie replied: "Yes, this place is only 300 meters away from Changxing Industrial Park, so the early staff of Changxing Industry also worked here.

My real estate company is also planning to continue acquiring properties in Kwun Tong, so we have a team here as well.”

Wei Zetao next to him said, "Yes, there are also people from suppliers like Dehe. They are also here. We are all gathered together to ensure that the infrastructure of the industrial park can be completed smoothly and meet future needs."

"Well, OK." Yang Wendong nodded, then looked at Zheng Zhijie and said, "Old Zheng, you also know about the supermarket. Buy a suitable property in Central as soon as possible. Our colleagues in the United States will come to Hong Kong next month."

"Okay, Mr. Yang." Zheng Zhijie agreed and said, "It's just that although large properties like those in Central are not as good as buildings, they are hard to come by. It may be difficult to acquire a certain amount in a short period of time."

"Hmm." Yang Wendong thought for a moment and said, "If the other owner is unwilling to sell, then we can rent it first."

Although the best model is to directly acquire the property and then open a store, it is not necessary to meet this requirement 100%.

After all, the first stop is in Central or Admiralty. There are few places that meet the requirements, and they are most likely in the hands of other large conglomerates. You can't buy them just because you want to.

The most important thing is to open a few chain supermarkets first, allow the supermarkets to operate normally, and allow relevant personnel to learn from the experiences of success and failure.

Anyway, there will be an economic crisis in Hong Kong in the future, so there will be plenty of opportunities to acquire similar properties.

"Okay, that's no problem." Zheng Zhijie agreed.

Yang Wendong added: "In addition, Yiyi also wants to buy a shop, but the area is much smaller, and the location does not need to be very good, but it needs to be in places with a lot of people in Hong Kong."

Zheng Zhijie replied, “Mrs. Yang has already told me about this matter, and I understand what kind of shop is needed.

There are many such shops in Hong Kong, and I can easily buy them. Once I have collected enough information about shops that meet the requirements, I will give them to Mrs. Yang for her to choose from. "

"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded, and then said: "Then let me introduce the situation of Changxing Industrial Park in the past two months!"

After the construction of Changxing Industrial Park started, Yang Wendong's main focus was on the China-Pakistan acquisition war, the bank run on Liu Chongxing, and going to the United States to buy Walmart shares.

Now it is August and the house here has begun to be built, so naturally he needs to come and take a look.

Zheng Zhijie said, "Mr. Yang, there is a sand table in the room inside. It will be much more convenient if we talk to the sand table."

"Sand table?" Yang Wendong naturally knew what it was, so he said, "Okay."

Several people quickly entered the designated room. On the table in the center of the room, there was a simple sand table, which was approximately a square. There were more than a dozen buildings on the left half, and the other half was empty.

Zheng Zhijie introduced: "Mr. Yang, this is the appearance of our first phase of the industrial park after it is built. There are 12 industrial buildings in total, plus two office buildings, four dormitory buildings, each with 4 floors, and a large warehouse for storing plastic particles;

The first floor of all industrial buildings only stores equipment for producing large suitcases or other large plastic parts. The floors of the 2nd and 3rd floors have been reinforced to accommodate small equipment or warehouses.
Floors 4 to 6 are for assembly, inspection or workshop office staff, and floors 7 to 8 are currently empty and will be used again in the future.”

After listening to this, Yang Wendong said, "Are all 12 buildings arranged like this?"

Wei Zetao said, "Mr. Yang, this is the initial design, and it can be modified later, including the 4th to 8th floors. In fact, there is no large-scale equipment, so anything can be done."

Yang Wendong nodded and asked, "This phase occupies about half of the entire industrial park, right? Are these industrial buildings enough now?"

"It's enough, because it's eight stories high, and the total industrial building area of ​​the entire factory is as high as 8 million square feet, which has exceeded our needs." Wei Zetao said with a smile: "If we don't consider the future, we actually have enough space to rent to other factories in Hong Kong."

Yang Wendong said: "There is still a lot of room for improvement in production capacity. Just one suitcase is enough for us to produce for many years, and there will be other different sizes and models in the future.

However, the second phase can be rented out to other factories, preferably those related to plastics, so that all similar industries can be together.”

Such a large area of ​​industrial land can also be used to build high-rise buildings, so it will far exceed my current needs and can naturally be rented out.

Even if it is not enough after many years, I can just buy more land and build again.

Wei Zetao said, “I understand, but Mr. Yang, there is one more thing. Our main factories were all in Tsim Sha Tsui before, so we also bought a lot of warehouses there;
Now that we are in Kwun Tong, it would be too troublesome to transport the suitcases to Kwun Tong after they are made, so I want to buy land near the factory and build a few warehouses separately.”

"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Then let's give the warehouse in Tsim Sha Tsui to Li Ming and let him make mouse traps. I don't plan to move this business to Kwun Tong."

According to the plan, those who come to Kwun Tong are all related to plastics, while sticky notes and mouse traps will remain in Tsim Sha Tsui. He also needs to leave some industries in Tsim Sha Tsui.

“Okay.” After Wei Zetao agreed, he said, “Mr. Yang, let me introduce the current distribution plan of our industrial building, most of which are for our suppliers;

Dehe’s location is in.”

Wei Zetao introduced them one by one, and Yang Wendong listened attentively.

All of Changxing Industrial's plastic parts suppliers are located on the three lower floors, while its own assembly, warehouse, inspection and other locations are on the middle floors, which can maximize efficiency.

Once the products are produced below, they are immediately sent upstairs for inspection and assembly.

After more than ten minutes, Yang Wendong said, "Not bad, but I have two requests."

Wei Zetao and Zheng Zhijie said, "Mr. Yang, please speak."

Yang Wendong said: "First of all, safety is the most important thing. With tens of thousands of people gathered together, any problem would be a big deal, so all floors must strictly prevent fires;

There should be a certain number of steel fire stairs outside each floor, so that if something happens, everyone can escape from multiple external stairs."

The biggest danger in industry is safety. With so many people gathered together, Yang Wendong sometimes gets worried.

This is necessary just to expand the industry. In the current era, there is no full OEM model, and the profits of our own products are not high enough to imitate Apple.

Zheng Zhijie said: "Okay, I'll arrange this."

Yang Wendong added: "The second thing is that the finished products in the warehouse must be moved away as soon as possible. First, they take up too much space, and second, they are flammable. I am worried about too many of them gathered together.

If we move it to a separate warehouse somewhere else, even if something goes wrong, it will only be an economic loss.”

Wei Zetao agreed and said: "I understand."

"Then build it as soon as possible. Everyone hopes that the factory will start operation earlier." Yang Wendong then took a look at the sand table. He was not very professional about the details of factory operation, so he could not say anything about this.

But the most important thing is to have space. As long as there is space, it can be changed later.
