Chapter 238 Vigorously expand Xiangjiang's business
The Liberty Ship and the Victory Ship entered the port. Some people have been paying attention to these two tall freighters. Five members of the military disembarked, and someone came to greet them.
"It's Mr. Victor, right?" one of the officers asked.
"It's been hard all the way".
Victor smiled and shook hands with several people.
Before he came, Hardy had someone contact Victor and asked him to help deal with the matter here. Victor received the news that the freighter had arrived and immediately brought people over.
Go through customs procedures.
The catalog is full of materials such as cloth, cotton, medical equipment, rubber shoes, cans, machine tool production lines, etc. This is the site of the British, and weapons cannot be brought over blatantly. Ordinary materials are completely fine.
Victor had already greeted the customs chief in advance. The procedures were smooth. The freighter docked at the dock and started unloading. Victor rented several large warehouses near the dock in advance to store these materials.
Moreover, in this batch of materials, there are not only the things ordered by Hong Kong Hongmen, but also the goods ordered by Victor.
Victor has been in Hong Kong for nearly half a year, and he has gradually understood the situation here. He also opened a trading company and knew what to sell, so Hardy had also given Victor a list in advance, and it was not limited to the military. Party eliminated materials.
What is missing in Hong Kong?
In other words, what is missing in the surrounding countries?
In Victor's view, there is almost nothing, and everything is waiting to be done.
After reading the list of military supplies, he didn’t ask for cans, clothes, and shoes like others, but took a fancy to the US military’s production line equipment.
Production line equipment for nails, screws, rubber shoes, leather shoes, wires, telephone lines, zippers, raincoats, rain boots, umbrellas, etc.
In addition, Victor also ordered a large amount of cotton.
Since the liberation of Hong Kong, the original industrial capacity has gradually recovered, the original spinning mills have begun to work, and many large spinning mills and textile mills originally from the Mainland have moved to Hong Kong. At a time, the number of spinning mills and textile mills here has reached 300. Multiple.
But then the problem came again, insufficient cotton.
Currently, cotton is only enough for 70% of the consumption, and the gap is very large. Therefore, the price of cotton has risen a lot recently. As long as the cotton is shipped, there is no need to worry about selling it.
The people who came to meet were not only Victor, but also triad people. Two middle-aged people came to meet. Victor reported himself to his home. The two are local snakes. Naturally, I have heard of Victor, who has gained fame in Hong Kong recently. Mr. Do.
Only one who can get a sufficient amount of penicillin will impress everyone.
"It turned out to be Mr. Victor, my fellow Li Chunshan, who is in charge of the triad society, and I would like to ask Mr. Victor to take care of my business in the future." Li Chunshan said.
"Hehe, we are partners, we make money together." Victor smiled.
The two parties exchanged a few words and talked about the goods this time. Victor asked them to give each other a list, "The goods are here. You can pick up the goods at any time. There is only one thing, that is, the first batch of goods can be owed, but the delivery The payment for the first batch of goods must be blocked for the second batch."
"It should be so." Li Chunshan said.
Hong Kong Island.
A large house.
Two middle-aged people happily walked into the mansion, came to the front of the main hall, and asked the guard at the door: "Can you rest, old man?"
"No rest, come in." A very angry voice came from the room.
The two laughed and hurried into the house.
Old man Situ sat in the recliner and fell asleep. The two opened their eyes when they opened the door and entered the house. “You are old and lack energy. Seeing how excited you are, is there something good.”
One of them humanely: "Master, the American freighter has arrived, and the cargo is disembarking. This is the list. What do you think of it?"
Li Chunshan passed the list as he said.
Mr. Situ took the list and it looked like telephones, telephone lines, radio equipment, medical kits, medicines, glass syringes, sterilized cotton, infusion tubes, medical equipment, gas masks, steel helmets, engineer shovel, gloves, iron wire, military boots, cloth , Sugar, sleeping bags, wool blankets, eiderdown duvets, various cans, field rations.
The old man nodded, “Very good. Some of these supplies are sold, and some are quietly transported away through other channels, together with weapons from other places, to be transported there.”
The list was returned to Li Chunshan, and Mr. Situ picked up another thicker list on the table. This list was sent to Hongmen by Hardy. There were far more types of materials than this purchase list.
Mr. Situ sighed and picked up the booklet and looked at it, "I want a lot of things, but after all, the funds are limited. This time I only raised part of it. Fortunately, the other party made us owe the debt, otherwise we would not dare to order these. what."
Li Chunshan quickly said: “Some materials can be sold here, we can make a profit, and the money earned can be used to get new materials."
"A drop in the bucket, if I have money, I really want to buy all the things on the list." Mr. Situ said.
"Hey, our country is too poor, poor and weak. If there were so many supplies back then, how could the devils poison us for so many years."
"I am also too weak. I have only raised more than 10 million U.S. dollars in so many years. If I have more money, I can support more materials and contribute more to the country."
"Master, you have done enough." Li Chunshan said.
The old gentleman shook his head, “It’s not enough. Okay, let’s go and work. It is estimated that some of you will be busy during this time.”
Li Chunshan bid farewell and left.
Li Chunshan led people to pick up the goods and began to sell them in Hong Kong.
Picking up goods in batches, he can only get more goods if he makes money.
The first thing to mention is all kinds of cans and field ration boxes. This is a Chinese site. Hongmen has tens of thousands of people. If you count the tens of thousands in the periphery, you don’t need to advertise. Everyone here is a salesman. .
"Second aunt, the U.S. Army rations, canned beef, they are all large pieces of beef, it tastes so good, a can is only 2 yuan." A street man promotes canned food to his neighbor.
"Two yuan is so expensive." The woman said.
"Are the two yuan expensive? This is from the United States. Did you see the two large freighters two days ago? They came down from there."
"can it be cheaper?"
"Here, this canned luncheon meat is cheap, only one dollar."
The woman finally gritted her teeth and bought a can of luncheon meat to taste.
The ration box contains a complete set of food. The people in Hongmen did not sell it directly after getting it, but unpacked them all and sorted them.
There are American famous brand cigarettes such as Camel, Haocai, Marlboro in the jar. The prices of these imported cigarettes on the market are not low, and they are very easy to sell. Only these cigarettes can recover one-third of the price.
There are a lot of people wanting the rest, such as instant coffee, instant beverage powder, matches, soap, towel, chewing gum, chocolate, hard candy and so on.
These can also be sold at a good price.
There are also a large number of milk powder and egg powder. Few people here buy a large bag. Small vendors have a way to sell it for half a catty after unpacking.
At this time, Hong Kong has a population of 1.5 million people, all crowded in a small place, and consumes a lot of materials every day. The things they took out were digested within a few days, and then they took them. Money came to Victor to pick up the second shipment.
Victor was not idle during this time, but Hardy gave him a task.
In the past six months, Victor has known many local people in Xiangjiang. This time he took the initiative to send out invitations to invite many Chinese businessmen over.
Why are Chinese merchants.
Small business.
Big firms may not be attractive.
Moreover, most of the British firms are also doing this business, and there is a certain degree of competition between the two parties.
Hong Kong Chinese businessmen received an invitation from Victor and were puzzled. It said there was a business to cooperate with everyone, but did not say what kind of business, but for this famous person in Hong Kong recently, these people decided to go there.
On the day,
More than a hundred people came. Victor did not invite these people to the hotel, but directly set up at the dock warehouse.
Victor looked at these people and said with a smile: "Everyone, you may have also heard that a batch of American goods have arrived in Hong Kong recently, and the American canned food and field rations sold on the street are that batch of goods."
These people naturally know that no one in the streets and alleys is unaware of this matter, and some of them even buy some early adopters.
"This business is done by our Hardy Group. These materials are not only shipped to Hong Kong, but to more than 30 countries around the world." Victor smiled.
These businessmen were shocked, and they had a better understanding of the Hardy Group.
"The things that came this time, not only the cans, but also better things, right here." He said and ordered the people to open the warehouse door.
All these businessmen looked at the warehouse with curiosity.
Everyone walked into the warehouse and found that there were batches of machines, as well as machine tools. Victor said: "The Hardy Company intends to cooperate with everyone. This is all equipment dismantled by the US military factory, and it is a complete set. Some have only used three or four years The equipment has very good performance, including nail production line, screw production line, rubber shoe production line, and wire production line."
Victor said more than a dozen names in one breath, each of which represented a factory.
All qualified businessmen here immediately realized the business opportunities. When Victor finished speaking, a businessman surnamed Zheng immediately asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Victor, are you planning to sell these equipment and at what price? "
Victor waved his hand, "Not to sell, but to find a partner."
“Our Hardy Company’s plan is to find someone to build a factory together to sell production materials. These equipment are included in the investment. As for the management, the two companies will work together.”
Now people understand, but many people are more interested in this model, because it has a bigger advantage, which is to rely on the big ship of the Hardy Group.
Victor continued: "Next, I am going to talk to Governor Grantham, in an industrial zone in Xiangjiang Lane, dedicated to developing factories. There are more than a dozen production lines here, and there will be more in the future. The Hardy Group is involved. Hundreds of industries can be moved here as long as they are suitable."
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "I, Li Xiaohe, I am willing to cooperate with Hardy to open a nail and screw production company."
