【209】750 and 212
By the end of March, Xiaoqiang and Vice Premier Chen were immediately overjoyed. After deducting production, transportation costs and the cost of establishing a package factory in the early penicillin business, they made a net profit of 1.5 million US dollars, equivalent to 1.3 tons of gold. This is more than 4,000 large yellow croaker and more than 40,000 small yellow croaker.
Because Ho Ying-tung had to pay the bill with gold and silver, the scarcity of gold and silver in the Hong Kong market has emerged. Ho Ying-tung is currently worried about not being a hot business, but a channel for exchange of gold and silver. At present, the penicillin business has been on track. Under the command of large managers in various sales areas, agents at all levels below swept the market with price wars. Although the price of penicillin is falling terrible, as the drug prices fall, more and more people can afford to cure the disease.
The global sales of former penicillin have continued to rise with the decline in drug prices. In Hong Kong, since penicillin fell to US$1.5 per box, the consumption of various hospitals and clinics has increased to 20 times, and is still increasing. Penicillin has changed from a miracle drug to a large-scale antibiotic. Some doctors even ask for an injection to prevent wound infection just because the patient has suffered a fall and has a scratch. Anyway, the price is cheap now.
The mainland's packaging plants and glass factories are now starting production 24 hours a day. Even so, they can only meet the Asian and British markets. South America is often out of stock, while the North American and European markets are completely out of stock. Faced with this huge business opportunity, Vice Premier Chen resolutely decided to expand the sterile packaging plants immediately, and at the same time asked glass factories across the country to start trial production of medical drug bottles.
Now there are even gold shops in Hong Kong that have begun to import gold and silver from the United States, and Hong Kong has become a city that attracts money. In addition, there are a large number of US dollars on the market that are open and secretly exchanged for gold and silver through Hong Kong merchants in various parts of Asia. Many gold shops see that this business is profitable and start trading precious metals for gold and silver to cope with the demand for gold and silver that is higher than that for Starlight.
At the weekly afternoon tea party of the Hong Kong Golden Trading Association, several bosses who know the supply of gold stores across Hong Kong were discussing.
"Boss Sun, what is the price of the gold you exchanged from Nanyang this time?" one of them asked.
Boss Sun, who looks like a modern gentleman in suits and tie, said calmly: "There are still a lot of folk gold in Nanyang. It is the territory of Americans, and everything you buy is US dollars. Now the official price is 35 US dollars per ounce of gold, but American banks still have to charge handling fees and quality. In fact, an ounce of gold for ordinary people can only be exchanged for US$33.8, which will lose 1.2 US dollars. My Sun Daxiang Gold Store’s seven branches in Nanyang now use US$34.4 to collect gold. When shipped back, they sell it to Xingguangxing for 35 US dollars, and one ounce will earn 0.6 US dollars."
Another boss next to him nodded and agreed, "Almost all, I have this contract with the local gold shop in Thailand. This business is easy to do, and it is easy to do, and it is easy to do. As long as I can turn around, I will make a profit without losing money. But I am always a little worried. If an accident occurs on the road and it will be in vain for dozens of times, I may also lose my capital."
The boss who asked at first took a sip of tea and said, "When Boss Huo comes later, see what he can do. It is best to give us a gold and silver purchase price."
Just as a group of gold merchants were discussing speculation, Ho Ying-dong arrived in a blazing manner.
"Hello everyone, hello to all the bosses, I'm late, sorry."
"Where is it, Boss Huo's business is booming, and there must be a good deal again."
After Ho Ying-tung sat down, he was not too long-winded. After a simple and polite manner, he went straight to the point:
"You have recently helped me with Starlight Store to collect a lot of gold and silver for turnover. I am very grateful. But now, the gold and silver on the Hong Kong market are less than one year, and the inventory of various gold stores is not continued, and the supply of pawnshops is unstable. I am eager to exchange the US dollars on hand.
I also heard that you are currently transferring funds from Southeast Asia, and everyone also said that the business is risky. I have come up with an idea now and let everyone advise together.”
All the Jin merchants here listened quietly, and at this moment they said in unison: "Boss Huo just talk."
Ho Yingdong said: "I went to Hang Seng Bank on Queen's Avenue in Central and met Lin Bingyan, Lin Dong, and He Shanheng and He Dong. The two big-dongs expressed their willingness to accept my investment and support my suggestion of opening a branch in Southeast Asia. In the future, as long as you deposit your gold in Hang Seng Bank locally and pay a withdrawal fee of US$0.3 per ounce per ounce, you can raise it in Hong Kong."
The boss Sun from Jinshang responded first: "Although this has pulled half of my lilies, it is still a good way to reduce risks. I am a little curious about how the risks are avoided by the Hang Seng Bank's transactions and transportation."
Ho Ying-dong said: "After Hang Seng opened a branch, the silver banknotes were used to deal with the goods insured cruise ships. With British warships escorted, the fees were deducted and they didn't earn much. Although you can rent the cruise ship's vault, the rental price would definitely be more expensive than the ones they came from the bank."
The gold merchant who had a business in Thailand nodded quickly and said, "Very good! Very good! This operation saves us a lot of effort, but when will the Hang Seng branch in Thailand be established?"
Ho Ying-dong said: "Hang Seng promised me that once my stocks arrive, the Southeast Asian branches will be successfully established within two months. They have long been interested in doing Southeast Asian business, and this time they are also following the flow and making it convenient for everyone."
After receiving this news, all the gold merchants felt very happy. The most feared thing about gold business these days is to take risks. Now that there is an additional bank operating in the center, it will undoubtedly reduce a lot of trouble for everyone's business.
After attending the tea party, Ho Ying-tung breathed a sigh of relief. For him, the Jinshang was just a temporary channel, and the most important thing was the gold transaction that Hang Seng was about to start.
After following the guidance of the mainland contact person, Ho Ying-tung went to Hang Seng Bank to negotiate the shareholding cooperation, the most happy thing was to meet Mr. Li Guowei, the newly joined director of Hang Seng in 1946. Li Guowei told Ho Ying-tung that Hang Seng had obtained a British gold trading license and was about to start trading gold on the London Gold Exchange as a spot merchant. In the future, merchants like Ho Ying-tung who are eager for gold can entrust Hang Seng to trade on the London Gold Exchange.
Regarding the win-win gold merchant consignment plan proposed by Ho Ying-tung, this idea hit it off with Li Guowei. He and several Hang Seng Dadong supported the plan to open a branch. The premise is that Ho Ying-tung must first subscribe to the new shares issued by Hang Seng Bank of 200,000 US dollars, otherwise Hang Seng would not have so much liquidity to open a branch. Ho Ying-tung did not say a word and wrote a check of 400,000 US dollars. After repeated consideration, he realized that the Hang Seng line was very deep. The mainland did not ask him to find other banks, but he just came to Hang Seng. There must be a reason.
Ho Ying-tung closed his eyes and rested on his Rolls-Royce. He chewed the news from Hang Seng Bank and thought: "The news from the mainland is so well-versed. Hang Seng just obtained the spot trader qualification of the London Gold Exchange. Why did they know it immediately? He also knew that Hang Seng has been planning to open branches throughout Asia. This kind of intelligence means is really omnipresent. Or, Hang Seng is simply one of their overseas investment banks!"
At this time, Xiao Qiang, who was in Beidu, couldn't help but sneeze.
"Look at you, you wear so little, do you know the principle of covering the spring and frozen winter?" Yu Feng criticized with a slightly frown.
Xiaoqiang looked at Yu Feng's pretty face and just smiled, saying goodbye to Yu Fengdongzi: "I'm going on a business trip in the south, it's okay. You guys go back, I'm leaving."
After saying that, Xiaoqiang got into the car. Liu Zhen stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the warehouse area in the suburbs of the city.
Xiaoqiang closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the car's chair and thought: "With Hang Seng's help, Ho Ying-tung should no longer worry about gold. Hang Seng, Hang Seng, don't be too young, you will make huge waves on the London Gold Exchange in the future."
After arriving at the warehouse, Xiaoqiang launched a blood sacrifice with a mountain of 20 tons of sapphires. After a dizzy moment, Xiaoqiang returned to 2011.
After returning to the company, Xiaoqiang told Zhou Lan to take the 20 tons of sapphire added in the warehouse to mortgage the loan. He began to review the new purchase list.
Hongdu Aviation Industry Group has agreed to sell all the parts drawings and production processes of the Yangtze River 750 tricycle of its subsidiary Nanchang Changjiang Machinery Industry Company to Xiaoqiang International Trade for 1.5 million yuan. Hongdu thinks that Xiaoqiang International is crazy, but it is hard to buy happiness with money, so he can do it.
The assembly line of the Yangtze Machinery Company was sold for 5 million yuan. The other party has now renamed the Yangtze River 750 to Black Star Motorcycle, exporting to Europe's motorcycle enthusiasts. Due to the vigorous ban on motorcycles in various cities in China, it is even more prohibited to have a 745cc sequel engine with a stunning sequel with a stun-fast 745cc sequel with a stun-fast 2011. In addition to the only one in the world, the North Capital, which is the only one in the world, there are three-wheeled sequels running on the road. The Yangtze River 750 has almost disappeared in China.
To change the troops and police officers of the 1950s, one assembly line is definitely not enough. In order to install more than 750 in the Yangtze River, the automobile automation team of Xiaoqiang International Trade Company has been struggling for a long time. Finally, after spending more than 7 million, three modification lines were created from Guizhou Ganjiang Machinery Factory, Yucheng Jialing Motorcycle Factory, and Jiangxi Jinggangshan Machinery Factory, all the equipment from carburetors to engine casting and body rolling production lines. With this line from Hongdu Factory, 1950 will be able to leaps into four Yangtze River 750 production lines. When Xiaoqiang thinks of the straddles that are about to run all over the street, he feels very touching. Damn it, is it that the whole nation has been motorized all at once?
The Yangtze River 750 is a copy of the German BMW R71, but it is not a simple imitation. The BMW R71's strap is not equipped with shock absorbers. If the road surface is bumpy, it can make everyone sitting in the sidewall be revealed. When the Hongdu Group imitated it, it created a set of shock absorbers. Since then, the Yangtze River 750 has become a classic of a generation of straps.
After getting the sideboard tricycle, Xiaoqiang then handled the purchase contract with BAIC Group. Needless to say, of course, the goal was to directly target Yanjing Jeep. BAIC Group heard that Xiaoqiang International Trade wanted to purchase the production line of the old Yanjing Jeep 212 in the 1970s just thinking that the other party was joking, so he ignored Xiaoqiang International Trade Company's faxes. However, with the other party's subsequent urge to faxes one by one, the senior management of BAIC was truly sure that the other party was not joking, but was really crazy.
After taking the purchase seriously, BAIC carefully looked at the other party's purchase contract. I saw that Xiaoqiang Trade's requirements were diverse, from materials with removable folding soft roofs to varieties of automotive plexiglass, from old mechanical instruments to clutches, from carburetors to chassis, all of which were required to be produced by themselves. BAIC tried to ask the other party to pay a 200,000 yuan in information fees, but unexpectedly, the finances were in less than five minutes.
With a passion for supporting the African people, BAIC's negotiating engineers were ready to teach these young college students from Xiaoqiang Trading Company. But unexpectedly, the other party said that they would not want new Warriors or anything, but needed a full set of old-fashioned bj212 production line.
