Chapter 553 Celebration
He Yuzhu nodded slightly and replied calmly:
"Two or three million shouldn't be a problem. If this amount of money is still not enough to meet the needs, I can still get in touch with Liu Chong Hing Bank. After all, I am now one of the shareholders of this bank. In addition, after this period of hard work and vigorous development, Liu Chong Hing Bank has passed the difficult period and gradually recovered."
Hearing this, He Shen quickly waved his hands and responded with a smile:
"Then you don't need to bother contacting the bank. We still have some cash on hand. At the moment, the funding gap is not particularly large. About one or two million will be enough."
After a short pause, He Yuzhu continued to ask questions with interest:
"So how much can one earn in a year by engaging in the gambling industry in Haojiang?"
He Shen thought for a moment and then gave an answer: "If converted into Hong Kong dollars at the current exchange rate, it would be about 300 million."
He Yuzhu couldn't help but frown, looking puzzled, and asked, "Why is it so little? How much is a gambling license like this worth?"
He Shen thought for a moment and then said:
"The last time the license plate was auctioned, the price was over 200 million Hong Kong dollars! In my opinion, this time it will have to be over 300 million."
Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded slightly to show his agreement.
He knew that this price was not low for the current year - 1961.
At that time, most people didn't have much spare money. Therefore, He Yuzhu didn't ask too much about the price, but cleverly changed the topic to other aspects.
At this time, Huo Yingdong, who had been nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the main purpose of his coming here today was to help He Yuzhu successfully purchase the industrial building in Tsuen Wan.
However, the practical problem he faces now is that he can only draw out a mere 100 million in cash in the short term.
In this case, if the transaction is to be successfully completed, He Yuzhu must also join the board of directors of the new company.
Although He Yuzhu politely declined the invitation on the spot, fortunately he expressed his willingness to provide a certain degree of support in the form of cash.
For Huo Yingdong, this is undoubtedly a very good result.
After the serious business was discussed, everyone chatted for a while about various experiences and interesting things in the business world.
Then someone brought up football first, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. It turned out that playing football was one of Huo Yingdong's biggest hobbies.
It is understood that he would set aside a lot of time almost every year to play football, and the number of football matches he participated in each year was never less than 200! Facing Huo Yingdong's enthusiastic invitation, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Just like business legend Li Ka Shing, he has a special love for golf.
The vast golf course located in front of the Deep Water Bay villa is a valuable asset owned by Li Ka Shing.
Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth, Li Ka Shing always leisurely comes to the green golf course to swing for a few rounds, and then goes to the company in high spirits to start a busy and fulfilling day of work.
Similarly, business tycoon Henry Fok also has his own unique hobby - playing football.
Almost every day, all he wants is to run on the field and sweat.
This time, as the initiator of today's party, he expressed his strong desire to play football without any reservation.
Faced with such a situation, He Yuzhu and He Shen naturally could not refuse and had to gladly accept the invitation to go to the club together.
After arriving at the destination, the three of them quickly changed into comfortable sportswear and walked briskly towards the vibrant green field.
At this moment, Huo Yingdong suddenly turned around and said to He Yuzhu half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"You better take it easy this time. Don't use your kung fu to kick the ball like you did last time!"
Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile, and quickly nodded and said: "Don't worry, it was really just an accident last time."
In fact, ever since he acquired extraordinary kung fu, He Yuzhu would sometimes unconsciously use the vital energy in his body.
However, after this reminder, he deliberately restrained and controlled his own energy, and devoted his full attention and focus to this exciting game.
As time passed, they ran, passed the ball and shot on the field, enjoying the endless fun brought by football.
Finally, the competition ended successfully. All three of them were sweating profusely, but their faces were filled with satisfaction and joy.
Then, they went into the locker room together to take a shower and relax their bodies and minds; then they received massage services carefully prepared by professional technicians to fully soothe their tired bodies.
As night fell and the lights came on, the three of them, after a day of exciting activities, sat together and enjoyed a sumptuous and delicious dinner.
During the dinner, everyone chatted and laughed, sharing interesting stories in each other's lives and their aspirations and plans for future career development.
The next afternoon, when He Yuzhu was still immersed in the beautiful memories of yesterday, a crisp phone ring suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was He Shen calling.
I only heard He Shen's excited voice from the other end of the phone:
"Mr. He, I have good news for you. We have finally succeeded in negotiating the deal for the industrial building we have been eyeing! It is a great honor to have you here!"
Hearing this good news, He Yuzhu was delighted and immediately discussed the follow-up matters in detail with He Shen...
"That's great, thank you so much!"
He Yuzhu's face was full of surprise, and he thought to himself that he had originally thought he would have to wait for a few more days before getting the results, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
He and the other party quickly agreed on a meeting place on the phone. After hanging up, he couldn't wait to summon Huang Zhirou and Liao Lieying to his side.
"I have good news for you. Today we have successfully purchased an industrial building! Now hurry up and pack up and come with me to sign the contract."
He Yuzhu said, unable to hide his excitement.
"Okay, no problem! We'll start preparing right away." Huang Zhirou and Liao Lieying responded in unison and then began to get busy.
After about 10 minutes, everything was ready. Everyone walked downstairs with their lawyers and headed straight to the Sheung Wan Pier.
We took a ferry from there and soon arrived at Kowloon on the other side. After landing, we got on the car and rushed to Tsuen Wan.
As the car slowly approached the destination, He Shen and the owner could be seen from afar standing downstairs waiting eagerly.
When the vehicles stopped, people from both sides got out and greeted each other warmly and politely.
However, He Yuzhu keenly noticed that the owner seemed a little unhappy, but he did not ask the reason on the spot. He just followed the owner into the building calmly.
After entering the building, the group began a detailed tour of the entire building under the guidance of the owner.
This industrial building is nearly completed and is currently undergoing final decoration work.
Most floors have been renovated, presenting a new and modern look;
Only the four middle floors are still in the final stages, but according to estimates by on-site construction workers, it will only take about half a month to complete and be put into use.
"That's great, thank you so much!"
He Yuzhu couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He originally thought that he would have to wait for at least a few more days before getting the results.
He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, which really surprised him.
After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu quickly called Huang Zhirou and Liao Lieying to his side and excitedly announced to them:
"I have good news for you. I just successfully purchased another industrial building! Now let's go and sign the contract."
"Wow, that's great! Let's start preparing right away."
Huang Zhirou and Liao Lieying responded in unison, and then turned around and got busy. After about ten minutes, everything was ready.
The group walked downstairs with their lawyers, first arriving at the Sheung Wan pier, and then taking a ferry directly to Kowloon on the other side.
After getting ashore, the group boarded the car that had been waiting there for a long time and rushed towards Tsuen Wan at lightning speed.
Not long after, the car stopped steadily in front of the destination.
After He Yuzhu and others got off the car, they immediately saw He Shen and the owner standing downstairs waiting eagerly.
After the two sides met, they greeted each other very warmly and politely.
However, during the greeting, He Yuzhu keenly noticed that the owner seemed to be in a bad mood, with a hint of displeasure on his face, but he did not rashly ask the reason, but chose to remain silent for the time being.
Afterwards, under the guidance of the owner, everyone began to take a detailed tour of the entire industrial building.
The overall scale of this building is quite grand and its appearance is magnificent. After a check, He Yuzhu found that it is almost completed and is currently in the final stage of decoration.
The decoration work on most of the floors has been successfully completed, with only the four floors in the middle still undergoing the final finishing work.
According to the on-site construction workers, all the decoration work will be completed in about half a month at most.
This industrial building looks ordinary and there is really nothing special worth visiting.
The group walked quickly and soon arrived at the spacious office on the top floor.
At this time, the room was filled with the aroma of tea, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious. Three industry leaders were sitting around the tea table, sipping tea and chatting leisurely. Their staff were busy and orderly, drafting relevant documents for the purchase of the building.
After careful consideration and revision, the two documents were finally placed in front of the two bosses.
They picked up the pen without hesitation and signed their names solemnly. So far, the deal was considered to be preliminarily concluded.
Afterwards, the remaining tedious matters will naturally be handled by professional lawyers on both sides.
At this time, He Yuzhu enthusiastically invited the other two to have dinner together, but the owner politely declined, saying that he had other important matters to attend to.
With no other choice, He Yuzhu had to enjoy the dinner with He Shen.
After eating and drinking, the two had further discussions and agreed to attend a preparatory meeting together two days later to discuss in detail the specific matters related to the bid.
When He Yuzhu returned, it was already late at night. However, Huang Zhirou and Liao Lieying were still staying in the office on the top floor, leading their employees to work non-stop.
Seeing this busy scene in front of him, He Yuzhu couldn't help but frowned and said:
"Is there any need to be so anxious? It won't be too late to do it tomorrow!"
Huang Zhirou looked up when she heard the voice and replied seriously, "Of course we have to try to get the production line into operation as soon as possible!"
It turns out that although four floors of the building are still in the final stages of completion, the remaining floors are already ready for occupancy.
Just after completing the signing procedures, Huang Zhirou acted decisively and quickly arranged for staff to work overtime, with the aim of getting the transistor production line officially put into operation in the shortest possible time.
Huang Zhirou said with a smile:
"After vigorous promotion in the initial stage, our self-developed free-brand radios have successfully passed the rigorous test of the market. Now, various dealers have sent us urgent urgings, eager to purchase large quantities of these products."
In fact, he had foresightedly arranged a plan to produce transistor radios from the very beginning, but since the initial production line was still in the trial production stage, the workers were not yet proficient in the operating procedures and process technology.
Therefore, large-scale production activities can only be officially launched after everyone has gradually become familiar with the work.
However, what is quite troubling is that due to the limitation of site size, the efficiency of the entire production process has always been difficult to be significantly improved.
It was not until the inventory had accumulated to a full 5 radios that the company decided to launch these products into the market.
After continuous sales efforts over this period of time, this radio has won high recognition and favor from consumers for its excellent quality.
Because of this, orders for supply have been pouring in recently.
At this time, someone couldn't help but ask curiously:
“Hasn’t the industrial building in Kwun Tong already been successfully put into production?”
Huang Zhirou quickly responded:
"That's right, but Elton Bowers just sent us orders for more than 10 different models of radios, and the number of orders in a single month is as high as an astonishing 5 units!"
Hearing this number, everyone present couldn't help but exclaimed:
“There are so many!”
Huang Zhirou then added:
“Not only that, many small dealers have come to us and expressed their hope to entrust us to produce radios under their own brands.”
He Yuzhu nodded slightly and said in agreement:
"Transistor radios will undoubtedly become a trend in the future. You know, traditional tube radios are too inconvenient to carry because of their large size.
However, the transistor radio is completely different. It is light and portable. People can even take it to the park in the early morning and exercise leisurely while listening to the sound from the radio.
This convenience makes it very suitable for listening to radio programs in outdoor environments. It's a pity that the production capacity of transistor radios is still quite limited. If it weren't for this reason, why would I be so anxious? I can't even wait for my unfinished industrial building, and would rather spend a high price to acquire a new building that has already been completed! "
