A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 163 Everything is for Zhihua Group

Early in the morning, Cao Zhihua took Li Shengnan, Xie Wenjun, Xiaoyu, Lou Xiaoe, Zhang Guohua and others to inspect the industrial park.

Since Cao Zhihua decided to build a garden-style industrial park, trees, flowers and plants have been planted in the industrial park one after another.

Lychee trees, bauhinia trees, saddle trees, sandalwood trees, willow trees and other saplings are planned into large gardens around the industrial plants, and small gardens are planted everywhere.

After Cao Zhihua took everyone around, he said to Xie Wenjun:
“Mr.

However, the saplings planted in the industrial park are still too small and do not have a few years to grow. They cannot bring out the greenery and beauty of the garden.
We must quickly lay out turf and plant flowers and plants in gardens of all sizes. Since we are building a garden-style industrial park, we cannot make it look different. The garden-style green environment must be displayed as much as possible, instead of looking like it does now, everywhere. They are all saplings. "

After hearing what the chairman said, Xie Wenjun urgently replied:

"Don't worry, Chairman, orders for turf and flowers have been placed, and the improvement of the green environment will be completed soon."

"Well, that's good. Either we don't do it, or we have to do it well. Don't spend money on me and end up with something ugly."

"Chairman, please rest assured that the real estate company will definitely turn the environment of the industrial park into the most beautiful park."

"Well, okay, how is the construction status of the third phase of the project?"

"Chairman, the construction progress of the third phase is very good, fully in line with the project progress we have set. The walls of the newly purchased industrial park land purchased by the company have been completely built and fully connected to the current industrial park. The first batch of the third phase The foundation construction of 10 factories with a total area of ​​20000 square meters has been completed and is expected to be put into use in half a month."

"Is the road construction of the third phase industrial park completed?"

"Chairman, the roads planned for the third phase have been completed. They are all asphalt roads. The paving and rolling of asphalt concrete have been completed. We only need to draw the signs in the later stage."

"Well, well done."

"Mr. Li, can the clothing production line keep up with the progress of factory construction?"

Li Shengnan has a lot of things to do every day now. As the general manager of the group, Li Shengnan is responsible for the specific execution of the company. It can be said that he is under one person and above ten thousand people. He has great power. Now he is very powerful.

He basically knows everything about the company, big and small. When he heard Cao Zhihua’s question, he immediately answered:

"Director Cao, the production line is always in operation 24 hours a day, and the machines do not stop when people take breaks. There is no problem in laying out the machines in ten factories at once."

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:
"Mr. Lou, after the output of the 10 factory dormitories is increased this time, will there be any problem with the daily production of 100 million sets of suits?"

Lou Xiao'e calculated in her mind and said:
"Chairman, after half a month of increasing production, there will definitely be no problem in producing 100 million sets per day."

After hearing Lou Xiao'e's question and answer, Cao Zhihua asked with satisfaction:

"Mr. Li, with a daily production of 100 million units, can it meet the needs of county-level franchisees?"

After Li Shengnan heard Cao Zhihua's words, he looked at Cao Zhihua helplessly and said:
"Dr. Cao, this amount of output is simply not enough to build franchise stores in county-level cities. The daily output of 100 million units is not enough to support the sales of our more than 1600 stores now.
What I fear most every day now is receiving calls from the overseas channel department. Every time I coordinate and coordinate the supply of goods from various places, it’s like a war.
Now there is no way to meet the supply of goods for each franchise store. We can only divide 24 countries in the world into one market.
Unified shipments are made to offices in various countries, and the local channel department is responsible for the distribution of goods to franchise stores in each country.

It is said that many local franchise store owners guard the warehouse of our local flagship store every day. As soon as our air-freighted goods arrive, they are sold out by local franchise stores. Many times, the flagship store has no goods to sell. "

When Cao Zhihua heard this situation, he could only smile bitterly. He was already trying to increase production as much as possible.

However, it can also be seen from this that the Ministry of Justice and the market inspection team have done a solid job in industry. Thinking of this, Cao Zhihua asked:
“Are there any imitations of our products on the market now?”

Upon hearing Cao Zhihua's question, Li Shengnan's eyes flashed fiercely and he said:

“In the past six months, our company has sued 68 companies around the world, and 42 of them have been successful and received compensation.

There are also 26 lawsuits that are still in litigation.

Since every time we file a lawsuit, we follow your request and ask the media to report it. Therefore, the imitation of our product styles has been basically curbed, and there are basically no imitations in the world.

However, our sexy suits have attracted many clothing companies to follow suit and are available in every country and every market.
It's just that we have first-mover advantages and material advantages. Our core-spun silk stockings are very popular among middle- and high-level female customers in the West and have a very good reputation. Therefore, these follow-up works do not pose much threat to our brand for the time being. "

The market for sexy underwear and stockings is very big. When Cao Zhihua first time traveled through time in his previous life, the global sales of sexy underwear and stockings together reached hundreds of billions of dollars every year. You must know that at that time, it was an era of small profits but quick turnover. Unlike Now Zhihua Group has a monopoly and exclusive sales, and the profits are frighteningly high.

And the most important thing is that sexy underwear and stockings are fast-selling products, and a set with stockings will be scrapped if you tear it apart.

Therefore, in the next few decades, not only will this market not be saturated, but as informatization becomes more and more developed, the market will grow every year. This is why Cao Zhihua dares to continuously expand production.

This kind of product has low costs, high profits, and has been popular for decades. To be honest, even if Cao Zhihua was a time traveler, it would be difficult to find another industry like this.

The most important thing is that Cao Zhihua’s operating ideas are completely different from those of Victoria’s Secret in his previous life.

In the previous life, Victoria's Secret opened a small underwear store and made money, and then began to expand, develop luxury brands, and organize various high-end underwear shows.

Basically, all the fame and money were taken away by the hired models. As a result, the company had no money, could not survive an epidemic, and went bankrupt.

Cao Zhihua is not that stupid. He directly opens franchise stores and sells globally with low costs and high profits. Besides making enough money for himself, as for whether luxury goods or not, it is of no use to Cao Zhihua.

Cao Zhihua's current income of tens of millions of dollars a day, as long as it lasts for 2-3 years, he will be the richest man in the world. Even if it only lasts for this year, Cao Zhihua will not be short of money in his life, and there will be cash flow. .

After the subsequent 100 million square meter industrial park is completed and production begins,

Even if there is a price war, I will not be afraid. I have enough space and capital to fight. After all, my production cost is less than 1 Hong Kong paper. Plus the transportation cost, the cost of each set of clothes is less than 2 Hong Kong paper. .

Nowadays, a set of Victoria's Secret sexy suits sells for 100 US dollars. When the competition becomes fierce, you can make money with a HK$5 set. In just two years, you can complete the construction of the industrial park by yourself, and you are not afraid of any risks in the future.

After thinking about the future development direction, Cao Zhihua said to Xie Wenjun:
“Mr.

Therefore, I hope that the real estate company can make overall plans and speed up the construction of the factory without affecting the quality. The greening environment can be processed later.

However, the construction of the factory buildings in the third, fourth and fifth phases, as well as the supporting construction of water, electricity, roads and warehouses, are the most urgent priorities.
As the general manager of a real estate company, you must regard the strategic direction of the group as the most important thing. I don’t care what method you use.
By the end of next year at most, you still have one and a half years. You must complete the construction of the 100 million square meter industrial park factory building in the third, fourth and fifth phases and put it into normal use. Are there any problems? "

When Xie Wenjun heard that the chairman suddenly issued a death order, although he panicked, he expressed his position loudly and calmly:

"Chairman, please rest assured that the real estate company will complete the task with quality and quantity to ensure the smooth progress of the company's strategic tasks."

After expressing his stance, Xie Wenjun looked at Cao Zhihua pitifully and said:

"Chairman, with such a tight project schedule, the real estate company needs to vigorously recruit talents, and to increase the work intensity and length of time, it may be necessary to improve employee benefits."

When Cao Zhihua heard that money could solve the problem, he didn't trust it at all. He waved his hand and said:
"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Don't worry, you come up with a plan and boldly go for it. The people you need will pay for it. The company will give the green light all the way and give priority to the real estate companies."

"Thank you, Chairman, for your support. I have issued a military order. If the factory construction cannot be completed before the end of next year, I will directly wait for the company's decision without any complaints."

"Very good. You need to have such determination to do things. What I hope is that next year I will commend you instead of punishing you. Mr. Xie, come on."

"Thank you, Chairman, I will definitely work hard."

Cao Zhihua looked at Xie Wenjun with satisfaction. This general he selected was known for his down-to-earth, hard-working and hard-working attitude. He also had strong professional and co-ordinating abilities in construction. He was quite satisfied and continued to ask:
"How is the construction progress of Zhihua Building Materials Wholesale Market now?"

When Xie Wenjun heard that the chairman started asking about outsourcing projects, he felt relieved. He finally passed the test, so he quickly answered:

"Since Gonghe Yang Company took over our project through the high-level officials of the Hong Kong government, they worked very hard during the construction. Our quality control personnel were on site watching their construction every day. The materials and construction techniques were very good. It is expected that there will be more In one month, all the companies in the industrial chain alliance can enter the site for renovation." "If you have nothing to do, you should go to the construction site more often to see if there are any problems. Don't let others bribe the company's quality control personnel by then. It will lead to quality problems, which will be difficult to explain at that time.”

"Okay, Chairman, I will try my best to make time and go to the construction site often."

Cao Zhihua pondered:

"Mr. Li, you should also arrange some knowledgeable people here. As inspectors, you will often arrange to inspect the building materials wholesale market and the TV station office building. This is mainly to prevent company personnel from being bribed into corruption and ensure the quality and speed of the project."

Li Shengnan replied crisply:
"Okay, Director Cao, I will make arrangements when I get back."

Cao Zhihua nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Both of you are my right-hand man, and there are a lot of things to do every day, so arrange for more inspectors to conduct random inspections, which can not only prevent the people below from messing up, but also complete the company's construction progress with quality and quantity.

Mr. Xie, how is the design plan for the world’s tallest building going? "

Xie Wenjun touched Han's forehead, and the chairman arranged for inspectors. Xie Wenjun thought that the chairman didn't believe him, so he was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead.

After all, this is probably the only company in Hong Kong that can give him such a high salary. After hearing what the chairman said later, Xie Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

“Currently, 46 architectural firms around the world have submitted plans to the company. In the first round of screening, the company’s preferred plans are:
Sky City plan by Beautiful Country DESTROY Architects.

Urban garden proposal by architects Foster and Partners in Great Eagle.

The Hong Kong International Center project by Japanese firm Arata Isozaki.

Hong Kong Island World Financial Center by JR Design Hong Kong.

There are also five such as the Twin Towers Global Business Center designed by Sweden's SWECO FFNS. "

After hearing this, Cao Zhihua said casually:

"The Japanese company's design will be directly rejected. In the future, if the company can not use Japanese products, it will try its best to use them, unless it is an irreplaceable product.

For the remaining plans, we need to complete the preliminary review as soon as possible to confirm the safety of the plans, and then we have a meeting to finalize them. We have agreed with the Hong Kong government that construction must start before the year, so there is not enough time. "

Xie Wenjun did not refute the chairman's opinion at all. After all, the world's most mature glass-walled building construction plan is the United States. Although the Japanese Institute of Technology has submitted a plan, there is no case in terms of safety against typhoons.

So the chairman said no, just switch to another one. It would not have a big impact on himself and the company, but it was a pity that the women's sports event arranged by Arata Isozaki's office might no longer be available.

"Okay, Chairman, the real estate company will issue a comprehensive safety risk assessment report as soon as possible, and it will be up to you to decide."

"Okay, that's it."

After Cao Zhihua finished talking about construction matters, he led everyone around the industrial park slowly.

After a while, he asked Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, how is the industrial chain alliance progressing?"

Li Shengnan quickly came to Cao Zhihua's side and reported:
"Director Cao, all companies have signed the industrial chain alliance agreement issued by the company.

According to the agreement, we jointly established a new brand Zhihua Building Materials.

Brand ownership belongs to our Zhihua Group, and all members distribute their interests according to the interest distribution plan formulated by the alliance.

The production costs of each company's products have been fully assessed, and the profit distribution plan has been approved and signed by everyone.

The profit distribution is based on excluding production costs. Franchisees account for 40% of all profits, each underwriter (alliance company) 15%, the source manufacturer of the goods accounts for 25%, and the remaining 20% ​​belongs to the top management of the Hong Kong government.

Now all the members of the alliance are gearing up, waiting for the alliance's building materials wholesale market to be renovated and opened, and then to promote it on a large scale and develop franchisees on a large scale. "

Cao Zhihua heard that the preliminary preparations had gone smoothly, and he knew that Li Shengnan had probably put a lot of effort into this matter.

“What about shipping companies and procurement of [-]-ton cargo ships?”

"The shipping company has been registered, and I plan to arrange for the shipping company to work on the 10th floor of the office building.

For the procurement of 120-ton cargo ships, we looked at prices and quality from Eagle Country, Beautiful Country, Japan, and China. The final winner was the domestic Jiangnan Shipyard, which quoted a price of 47 US dollars and a construction speed of 5 days. Ordered [-] ships. "

Buying a few ships and leasing them to alliance member Wang Yi to transport sand was just a trivial matter, so Cao Zhihua ignored it after arranging it for Li Shengnan.

Now when I heard Li Shengnan say that he actually handed over the order to a domestic shipyard, he looked at Li Shengnan in surprise and asked:
"Is it possible to manufacture [-]-ton cargo ships in China now? Is the quality guaranteed?"

After hearing Cao Zhihua's question, Li Shengnan said a little embarrassed:

“I don’t know where I heard the news in China. I knew that we were going to order a batch of [-]-ton cargo ships. Through a relationship with a newspaper, I was approached and participated in the bidding.

I read their information. In April of the year before last, a 4-ton cargo ship was built and launched in China. The data provided in the information were very good, no worse than other countries, so they were allowed to participate in the bidding.

Unexpectedly, their quotation was very low. The quotation from other countries required US$3-400 million, while the domestic quotation only required US$120 million, and the construction time was still very short.

Therefore, the purchase agreement was finalized with China at the bid opening site. "

After hearing this, Cao Zhihua shook his head with a wry smile. Cao Zhihua knew the price advantage of the country. In his previous life, the country was known as the price crusher. Any foreign high-tech, as long as it was researched in China, the price would be directly broken.

Relying on the price advantage, domestically produced products in the past life killed gods and Buddhas in the world, creating a prestigious reputation for products made in China.

However, this time my order was, after all, a foreign trade product. Considering the domestic situation, I really didn’t need to worry about quality issues, so I said:

"Now that the order has been placed, let's do it. We can follow up to see how the cargo ship performs.

If the quality and performance are good, the company can consider purchasing more cargo ships to make the shipping company truly bigger. We can use our cost advantage to develop, or even monopolize, these short-distance shipping businesses in Southeast Asia and East Asia.

Mr. Li can arrange for people to conduct inspections first and follow up on the types of ships and shipping quotations that East and Southeast Asian countries need. We will then decide whether to participate on a large scale based on the situation. "

"Okay, Director Cao, I will arrange for the employees of the shipping company to go out to inspect this matter as soon as possible."

After thinking for a while, Cao Zhihua said:
“If the shipping company can grow bigger, it will be of great help to the company’s future strategic development.
Our clothing company is making so much money now, and I don’t like to waste investment abroad. In the future, we will be involved in Hong Kong’s department stores, fresh food, food, media, water and electricity, and other livelihood-related businesses, and once we decide to do it, we will Try to monopolize this business as much as possible.

Only by completing such a layout can our Zhihua Group be able to stand firm on Hong Kong Island, and no one will dare to let us go bankrupt. "

After Cao Zhihua finished speaking, he took a deep breath, looked resolute, and said domineeringly:
“I hope that no one in Hong Kong from birth to death will own our Zhihua Group.

This is the mission of our group of people and the goal you strive for. Are there any questions? "

Li Shengnan, Xie Wenjun, Zhang Guohua, and Lou Xiao'e looked at Cao Zhihua's back with blood boiling in their hearts, and shouted excitedly:

"No problem, everything is for Zhihua Group."
