Return to 1958 and build a century-old giant

Chapter 100: Re-expansion and security measures
If you want to buy a house, you naturally can't just look at one place, because this time is different from renting a house before. Yang Wendong plans to live here for quite a while. After all, his initial career has been decided to set up an industrial factory on the Kowloon Peninsula.

Afterwards, the group changed two agents and looked at the different properties they had, which were mainly villas.
Buying a house is also the bank's money. Considering that he can get it all at once, he naturally wants to buy a villa to live comfortably. After the development of Kowloon Peninsula, it will also be a very scarce resource.
The Kowloon Peninsula is very large, but it is actually very small as it is close to the sea and has relatively good economic development. Nowadays, the people on the Kowloon Peninsula are mainly poor, or the businesses surrounding the port have attracted relevant personnel. Even the main force of Hong Kong's industry is still on Hong Kong Island these days.

In the end, Yang Wendong and his friends decided to purchase four villas next to each other in Yi Fu Garden, and the final transaction price was HK$4.

"25.3. I remember that a year ago, I was very happy to have 25 yuan in my pocket." After the price was agreed upon, Su Yiyi seemed to have some feelings in her heart.

"This is also money paid by the bank." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

The bank's money is well-used, but the house naturally belongs to him. He only gave it to a few of his founding partners to live in.

Su Yiyi asked again: "Then next, this place will be renovated."

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Well, I have asked Lao Wei to find the right person. He knows someone who does this."

"Oh, then how long will it take for us to move in?" Su Yiyi asked.

Yang Wendong said: "We have to wait. The renovation can be done faster. As long as we pay, those people can work 24 hours a day and we can arrange more people.

But after a house is renovated, it needs to be aired out for a while before you can move in. Even if the materials used for decoration are good, they are generally contaminated.”

Even decades later, many decoration materials are unsafe, especially the glue used for decoration, which basically contains formaldehyde. It is naturally the same now.

For safety reasons, we have to wait and there is no need to rush.
"Oh, okay." Su Yiyi nodded.

After coming out of the house, the two also met Zhao Liming, Lin Haoyu and their families. Everyone was naturally grateful to Yang Wendong, so Yang Wendong smiled and avoided them.

When the original body was a child, his two families were relatively caring towards him. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he could grow up smoothly as a child. Although his soul has been changed now, the house is currently only for them to live in.

Not to mention the issue of conscience, if you become famous and rich in the future but don't take with you the people who once helped to support you, that will also become a stain on your life.

Afterwards, Yang Wendong treated everyone to a meal at a nearby hotel. This hotel was near the most luxurious commercial district in the Kowloon Peninsula, and it had all kinds of supporting facilities, which was much more convenient than where they had lived before.

Things regarding the house went according to plan.

Yang Wendong naturally would not pay the 25 yuan himself, but found Ning Wenjue and completed the welfare procedures for major customers.

With Changxing Industrial's booming business and the villa itself being able to be used as collateral, the loan department of Liao Chongxing Bank naturally passed the review with ease.

Two days later, the funds were released, and Yang Wendong owned his first batch of residential properties in Hong Kong. He only paid 2 yuan, which was also loaned to him separately by Liao Chong Hing Bank. He learned this from Chen Songqing.

The next step is naturally the decoration. Yang Wendong also participated in the design of the room structure and furniture. After that, it was handed over to a professional decoration company, and he only needed to keep an eye on it occasionally.

The focus now, of course, is on the production of our own sticky notes.

Inside the new factory of Changxing Industrial, a new piece of equipment that is obviously much larger than the others is also running rapidly at this moment, with a group of people watching around it.

Su Yiyi took out her watch and checked the time. When it was time, she said, "Brother Dong, you made 10 sticky notes in 41 minutes. So, it would be about 1-240 in an hour."

"Well, it's almost the same as Dongsheng promised." Yang Wendong nodded.

Wei Zetao said: "This equipment arrived yesterday and was turned on in the evening. In 12 hours a night, it produced almost 2800 sticky notes;

However, 6 of them were scrapped, which is a bit high and may need additional adjustments and optimizations. "

"Well, this is normal. After all, we are not a company like Japan that has been making equipment for many years." Yang Wendong nodded. It doesn't matter if 0.2% is scrapped, but it is very difficult to find this 0.2%. It requires a lot of manpower. This is also the difficulty of doing business, and why skilled workers must be used. They can avoid many problems.

Wei Zetao added: "Mr. Yang, it will take a long time to improve the equipment. 3M has also begun to increase the quantity. They called me last night and hoped that we could increase the production capacity as soon as possible.

So if you allow me, I will purchase this kind of equipment from Dongsheng again, which will quickly increase our production capacity."

Yang Wendong asked: "How many units are you planning to purchase this time?"

"It's also 30 units. The main reason is that Dongsheng's production also takes time. We can't increase it in the short term." Wei Zetao explained: "Once these equipment arrive, the production capacity will be more than twice the current capacity. Our workshop can also accommodate all of them and still have some space. Otherwise, if we want to increase the production capacity by three times, using the existing small equipment, there won't be enough space."

"Okay, let's do it this way for now. We need to meet 3M's needs as soon as possible." Yang Wendong naturally had no problem with this. The most important thing now was to gradually increase production capacity.

In addition to people, the equipment at Dongsheng was also one of the factors that limited his rapid expansion.

Wei Zetao smiled and said, "By that time, Mr. Yang will probably become one of the most influential figures in Hong Kong. Especially since you started from scratch in a squatter-like environment, you will probably be more famous than other wealthy Chinese people."

"Our products are mainly for corporate customers." Yang Wendong thought for a moment and said, "It may not be very famous. This is different from the consumer goods industry. It probably won't be in the short term."

Wei Zetao said: "That's true, but the export data from the customs and the number of workers in our factory are too big to be concealed. It depends on whether the Hong Kong media will expose it."

"Let's talk about it later." Yang Wendong didn't care too much.

In Hong Kong, and even in the mainland or the world in the future, there are often some hidden super-rich people who are very low-key and very rich.

But these are definitely not from the industrial sector, because industrial factories are too large to be concealed.

Only those who work in real estate and finance keep a low profile, do not make large-scale acquisitions, or own famous buildings, or become members of the board of directors of any large company, then they will be able to keep a low profile.

"It's okay to be exposed, but you need to hire some bodyguards." Wei Zetao paused and said, "It's okay now. At least hire a veteran with experience in this field who can also drive for you, boss."

"Okay, that's almost it." Yang Wendong nodded. In a few months, not to mention the fixed assets, it is estimated that the financial assets in the bank will turn from negative to positive.

It was time to consider safety issues. It was no longer like before when I had little wealth and could run around freely. Besides, this was still the 50s in Hong Kong. If I ran into some ignorant thugs, I would be in trouble.

Wei Zetao said: "I will arrange for someone to ask about this matter and see if there is anyone suitable."

"Okay, thank you very much." Yang Wendong nodded and said with a smile.

A few days later, Yang Wendong interviewed a man named Jiang Yongqiang. After a presentation, Yang Wendong accepted him and then bought him a new car with the tacit approval of Liao Chong Hing Bank.

But he also discovered that car mortgages did not exist in this era.
PS: Some people in the comment area think that the expansion of sticky notes must be simple, just pull one person and it will be done. That's because you have never been to a factory.
Production in a factory is more than just production. For example, it is not easy to ensure that all the paper on dozens or even hundreds of devices will not be soiled, torn or folded during the production process.

Or, what should you do when you accidentally discover that a sticky note has a problem? Review the hundreds of thousands or even millions of sticky notes that have been produced? Some of them may have already been shipped?
During the review process, there are so many people and so much goods, and it’s a mess. How can we ensure that the sticky notes will not be damaged during the review?

Don't think too simply, I work as a quality engineer in a factory, and I've experienced too many problems in this area (not sticky notes).

Skilled workers are really important. They can avoid many problems if they have more experience. If there are not enough such people when the production capacity is expanded rapidly, it is courting death. If there are batch problems with the goods sent out, it is tantamount to suicide.

In the past, giants like 3M were unable to produce sticky notes in the first two years, and only managed to meet market demand in the third year.

You don’t think 3M has no money, do you?
I don't want to keep explaining, I will try to integrate it into the plot later, but it will feel watery and difficult to handle~
