Chapter 42 Hong Kong Businessmen(1/2)
Shen Guanglin and Su Youpeng took stock of Da Liu's inventory and assets.
Excluding equipment, the cost of purchasing these clothes from Shenzhen is about 150,000 yuan. If they are shipped to the capital and wholesaled, they can be sold for 400,000 yuan.
From this perspective, spending only 20,000 US dollars can be said to be equivalent to giving these garment processing machinery and equipment for free.
This business can be done.
And Da Liu will not lose money. His cost is estimated to be only this much money, and he has already cashed out perfectly.
Since Ye Jihuan has management experience, of course he can be hired.
The matter is settled, there is just a little hiccup.
That is, no one among them has consulted Xiaoye's opinion, and they are not willing to follow Shen Guanglin.
Xiaoye has become accustomed to the bustling life of Xiangjiang and expresses his unwillingness to continue working and wants to go out and make a living on his own.
Da Liu expressed his regrets, gave him a sum of money and let him go.
At the end, he left his phone number and said that he was welcome to come back at any time and that he could continue to work with him.
Ye Jihuan agreed, but he was going to do something big and earth-shaking that would shock the world.
After the matter was discussed, it was time to talk about romance. Sister Ying, the sister-in-law of the society, had already retired. Next, it was time for the two businessmen to express themselves freely.
Let's go to Lan Kwai Fong to pick up corpses together?
Go together, go together.
Of course, two people wouldn't say that when they first met.
When a business deal is concluded, it is customary to have a meal together to celebrate.
Have a drink and make friends.
At the dinner table, Liu took the lead in initiating the topic: "Where is Shen Sheng from?"
They don't like to call people sir, but directly call them students to show respect and kindness.
Shen Guanglin replied: "Jinling people."
"Jinling is a good place. It is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and has outstanding people."
"Yes, but if you include the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Jiang Dynasty, it would be the Eight Dynasties." In Shen Guanglin's case, the puppet regime of classmate Zhaoming was certainly not a country or dynasty.
"So what is Shen Sheng's main business now? Has he always been in the clothing business? Didn't they say that private businesses are not allowed in the Mainland?"
Da Liu was also very interested in things in the mainland. He heard that the other side was carrying out reform and opening up, and many poor people had settled there and went there to pan for gold.
The problem Liu mentioned is also the reason why Shen Guanglin came to Xiangjiang, because starting a business in China will face a property rights issue.
Sooner or later, problems will arise if the company is affiliated with a state-owned unit. Whether it is the loss of state-owned assets or the misappropriation of property by the unit, it is a bad debt.
In the 1980s, being rich was the original sin.
Safety is the first priority for travelers.
"Clothing is just one aspect. It can be regarded as a low-threshold entry point. The mainland has indeed not opened up the private economy, but there are already laws to support self-employed people. Now there is a special zone. You can do business legally with Hong Kong citizenship."
"Awesome! You have an idea and you are bold!" Liu expressed his admiration.
Next it was time for Shen Guanglin to take charge of the topic: "Is Mr. Liu a native of Xiangjiang?
"That's right. My ancestral home is Chaozhou and I have been here for several generations. This factory is an industry left by my father. I studied finance in Canada and am not interested in industry."
Da Liu has long wanted to operate in the financial and real estate markets.
After hearing that Da Liu studied and graduated in Canada, Shen Guanglin also became interested and couldn't help but ask:
"Which school did Mr. Liu graduate from?"
“University of Waterloo.”
The University of Waterloo is also a famous school. In later generations, it was ranked similarly to Aoki University in the international rankings.
Of course Shen Guanglin had heard of their school: "I have also been to Waterloo, a city in Ontario. It is not far from Toronto and very close to Niagara Falls."
"Shen Sheng is amazing and knows so much about Canada. Could it be that you also studied there?"
"Yes, it's not that far away. I studied in Boston, a city in the United States." Shen Guanglin did not mention the specific school where he studied. After all, it is difficult to publicize this matter.
"Cambridge is a good city. There is the famous Ivy League school Harvard and the famous science and engineering school MIT."
Shen Guanglin smiled and said nothing about which school he attended, but instead talked about the Ivy League.
"The Ivy League formed by the University of Citi is a sports organization. Because they were too good at sports, they formed a game to play on their own. We also called them the "Rookies Pecking Alliance."
"Rookies pecking each other? Interesting."
The two immediately chatted about more anecdotes about studying abroad.
However, Shen Guanglin was just a listener, occasionally interjecting, as dedicated as an admiring crosstalk actor.
Speaking of sports, the two naturally talked about their favorite sports.
"What sports does Shen Sheng like?" Da Liu asked.
"Golf." Shen Guanlin replied without thinking.
Da Liu suddenly felt that he had found a soulmate: "Oh, what a coincidence, I like it too."
"Of course I know you like golf. Golf is a polymer material with excellent elasticity. Not only can it be used as a ball, it can also be used for other purposes."
"How to use it?"
"Blocking the sewer."
…
The two said goodbye to each other, and Liu continued his business of relocating his ancestral property. Shen Guanglin organized people to pack the clothes that had been made, while making investment plans on the other.
He is really planning to build a factory in Shenzhen.
The reason why I did not go to Yangcheng, where Lao Wang works, is because it will take several years for Yangcheng to develop.
If you have a chance, which one would you choose between Yangcheng and Shenzhen?
You should go back early after finishing things. The time for leave from school should not be too long, but there are still many things to do, so you must hurry up.
The next stop for Shen Guanglin and his party is Shencheng.
Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shenzhen City are two concepts.
The area of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is limited to four places: Nanshan, Futian, Luohu, and Yantian. These areas are now also called Guannei, and all other places are called Guanwai.
The combined area of these four districts is 327.5 square kilometers, surrounded by barbed wire fences, border posts, checkpoints and other isolation measures.
If ordinary people want to cross here, it is really better to swim across from the sea.
The next specific task for Shen Guanglin and the others is to contact Shenzhen’s investment department.
After coming out of Luohu Railway Station, you went through the customs and returned to Shencheng.
As soon as he stepped into the territory of Shencheng, Su Youpeng came to life instantly. It seemed that this was his territory.
Compared with the submissive person in Xiangjiang, he seems to be more energetic in Shenzhen.
He is the home court here, not in Xiangjiang.
Under Su Youpeng's arrangement, Shen Guanglin first visited their purchasing site.
In fact, the purchase point is in Yantian, not far from Wutong Mountain. In this era, most of the goods from Xiangjiang came from Zhongying Street in Luohu.
Zhongying Street is now partially closed, and only some people with connections and backgrounds can enter.
Of course Su Youpeng couldn't do it before, but now he can do it because he is a "Xiangjiang native".
Shen Guanglin did not use his Xiangjiang identity because he was reluctant to part with his Beijing household registration.
The three of them had passes and could have entered Zhongying Street.
There are many shops here, all oriented to the mainland. They sell various items, and the purchasers are mostly domestic institutions, not individuals.
Only after 1980 will a large number of tourists be allowed to enter here. This grand event will last until 1997, and since then the status of this place will decline year by year.
After seeing Sino-British Street, it’s time to talk to the government about investment plans.
The speculation plan was of course written by Shen Guanglin himself.
In this era, there was no Internet and no templates. However, Shen Guanglin had read many similar plans and understood the general format and content. It was not difficult to make one up.
After all, if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you need to tell a good story.
Shen Guanglin's plan is quite grand and beautiful, and every aspect is professional.
The intended "investor" is Xiangjiang Shenshi Industrial Investment Group, which wants to build a clothing production base in mainland China, with 20% of the clothing produced for domestic sales and 80% for export.
The investment is divided into three phases, with an investment of 10 million yuan in the first phase, a total investment of 50 million, and a total planned area of 1,000 acres.
At present, the purchase of processing equipment has been completed, and the initial start-up funds have been in place, and we are ready to build while producing.
Moreover, the company's three-year plan, five-year plan and prospect plan for the future have been prepared, and they look very feasible.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Guanglin's plan was taken out, it immediately attracted the attention of the Investment Promotion Bureau.
