Chapter 84 [Shipping Beginner] (Please vote for me!)

Friday, November 5th, is a good day to move or move to a new house.

The private housing estate "Lam Tin Nga Yuen" in Happy Valley ushered in the day of handover, and the whole estate was filled with joy.

"The security at the door is very energetic! At first glance, I thought they were uniformed police!"

"Yes! Those cleaners also wear uniforms, but I don't know if they can clean the room for us."

"You think so, others are only responsible for the public environment outside."

Immediately, residents moved in one after another, and these wealthy people in Hong Kong could not help but sigh at the superiority of "private housing estates".

In addition to the security guards and cleaners, there are also property management staff who are very warm and considerate.

In this comparison, even the arcades and western-style buildings in the middle of the mountain are not necessarily as comfortable as those in "private housing estates".

As everyone knows, there is no free lunch in the world. After everyone enjoys it for three months, the property management company will charge for it.

Of course, for these people with money and status, a property fee of only 200 yuan a year is not very expensive.

And I believe everyone can understand that there is no one who sells a house and also acts as your nanny for the rest of your life.

“There is a restaurant and shop at the door, so life is very convenient!”

"I heard that the second floor of the restaurant is a property management company, which also provides some fitness and leisure club activities. Housing owners can experience them for free."

"This is so thoughtful. Changjiang Real Estate is really amazing."

The entire private housing estate was discussing the superiority of the new home, and it received rave reviews. As for the second floor of the restaurant, it was indeed the first floor purchased by Cheung Kong Real Estate, with an area of ​​980 square feet.

Except for a 180-square-foot room that is used as a property office, the rest has been developed into a clubhouse style.

In Lin Zhichao's view, the annual operating expenses of the property management company are at most 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, but they can collect property fees of 26,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is very profitable. What's more, the two stores are also managed by the property management company, and the annual rent collected is also very high.

Generally speaking, property management is a very profitable thing. He is not worried about the problem of owners not paying. The owners of Lantian Yayuan generally do not do that. After all, once the property management company is removed, the value of the entire Lantian Yayuan will immediately depreciate.

In the evening, Lin Zhichao came to Tang Zhongyuan's house after get off work and visited it under the guidance of Tang Caiyun.

Both families purchased 980 square feet, or 108 square meters, and designed three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a worker's room.

The so-called worker's room is the servant's room, which is only 38 square feet.

"You two sisters can't just buy a bunk bed, why do you have to squeeze in together?" Lin Zhichao said deliberately when visiting the Tang sisters' boudoir.

Tang Caiying immediately took Tang Caiyun's arm and said: "We have slept together since childhood, why do we have to change beds? Brother-in-law, you haven't married my sister yet, so you are starting to get jealous!" After that, she deliberately got close to her. Tang Caiyun seems to be demonstrating to Lin Zhichao.

Lin Zhichao's heart suddenly felt ripples. He had slept together since childhood, wouldn't it be easier to sleep together in the future? Thinking about it is exciting!

Tang Caiyun had already 'rebelled' at this time, so she naturally felt more for Lin Zhichao and teased her sister with a smile.

"She looks very brave. In fact, she was afraid of the dark when she was a child and would always sneak into my room."

"elder sister!"

The two sisters started to fight.

Back in the living room, everyone gathered together to discuss the new home.

Song Qiaoling sighed: "I finally got rid of the dilemma of renting a house. Although this house is a bit small, it is still my own, so I am more at ease."

Her sigh was recognized by everyone.

Lin Zhichao smiled and comforted his mother-in-law and said, "It's okay. We will move back to Mid-Levels later and then the family will buy a building."

It's not that he can't afford it at this time, but he feels that money must be spent wisely. Coupled with the JF of Guangdong Province and the Peninsula War, house prices in the Mid-levels will naturally fall. I don't say how much, but at least

It's not as tight as it is now. If you want to buy, the landlord won't sell.

From Lin Zhichao's words, everyone in the room understood that Lin Zhichao was not just talking big words, but that he had the strength. At the same time, these words also revealed that Tang's Oriental Textile would also develop together with Yangtze River Industries.

.

Tang Zhongyuan had recently taken out a lot of loans and was under great pressure, so he said, "After Oriental Textile's second factory is built, do I still want to move to Tsuen Wan?"

In the past, Song Qiaoling would have been sensible, but now that she has the support of her son-in-law, she said unreasonably: "The area in Tsuen Wan is very desolate, we don't want to live there!"

Tang Zhongyuan immediately looked at his wife unhappy.

It was Lin Zhichao who smoothed things over and said, "It's mainly because it's not convenient for my younger siblings to go to school!"

As soon as Tang Zhongyuan heard this, he got off the stairs and said, "I said I usually live in Tsuen Wan Factory, and the conditions there will be very good."

Indeed, many textile bosses from Shanghai usually live with their families in the Tsuen Wan factory. After all, they are still in the entrepreneurial stage.

Lin Zhichao did not interfere with his parents-in-law's decision, he just tried to mediate it.

Afterwards, the two families became happy. Today is the day to move into a new house.

At the pier in Sai Wan, Lin Chichao came to visit the loading and shipping of "Fu Wo Hong Trading".

Li Gaofu introduced Lin Zhichao's partners and shipowners, saying: "Lin Sheng, these three are my partners Huang Tinggui, Li Fubing, and Yang Zhiqiang. This is Mr. Chen Zexi, the owner of the ship we lease." His tone was very respectful, but not respectful.

Call the boss again.

Everyone took the initiative to greet Lin Zhichao, but no one expected that Lin Zhichao would come in person; they thought that the relationship between Li Gaofu and Lin Zhichao must not be a simple one.

Lin Zhichao talked to everyone humbly, and his words also revealed that he had a close relationship with Li Gaofu. After all, being able to come and visit in person already showed it.

At this time, the dock is busy loading goods, which are the goods that Li Gaofu and others founded "Fuhexing" - tires, gasoline, cement, chemicals, etc. This batch of goods will be shipped to Weihai Weishi Island in Shandong Province.

At the beginning of this month (November), news came over there that a trade port was specially opened in JF District.

The opportunity has come!

Of course it’s Li Gaofu’s opportunity!

And it can be said that Li Gaofu is almost the first person to eat crabs.

Looking for an opportunity, Lin Zhichao said to Chen Zexi favorably: "How many boats does Mr. Chen have?"

Chen Zexi immediately said humbly: "Lin Sheng is very impressed. I have several ships there, but this is an old ship with a capacity of 1,200 tons."

A 1,200-ton old ship (30 to 40 years old) sells for about HK$700,000 to 800,000. If the Peninsular War starts, there will be a ship shortage in the Far East. The same ship may cost HK$1 million.

Lin Zhichao then asked: "Then Chen Sheng must be an old shipowner. I think your crew members are of better quality, so they must be well managed."

In fact, he was just 'flattering', and he couldn't see anything at all.

At this time, Chen Zexi showed a proud expression and said: "In terms of strength, I am definitely not a big ship owner in Hong Kong. But in terms of rich experience, I don't think I will admit defeat. I have been sailing since I was 15 years old. The highest

I owned two boats at that time, but when the RB people came, I lost everything. After the war, I finally got back on my feet, so I naturally worked harder."

At this time, Lin Zhichao listened very carefully and looked humble.

When the time came, he took out his name card and handed it over, and said: "Sheng Chen, I am somewhat interested in this shipping business. How about I become the host tomorrow and we can sit down and chat."

Chen Zexi suddenly realized that this wealthy man was eyeing shipping. He immediately took the name card and handed over his own name card.

"Lin Sheng, sailing is dangerous!" Chen Zexi sighed.

"I am mentally prepared. I just want to think more about Chen Sheng and ask for advice to see if I am the material."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. Since Lin Sheng wants to understand, I won't be stingy either."

"Okay, I will have a banquet at Datong Restaurant tomorrow. I wonder if Chen Sheng has time?"

“Definitely arriving”

Seeing Lin Zhichao staring at the ship owner and chatting, Li Gaofu and others naturally understood the situation and did not interrupt.

One day later, Li Gaofu stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the sea.

Both excited and nervous!

He deeply felt that opportunities were hard to come by, especially opportunities that were prepared, so while being grateful to Lin Zhichao, he vowed to do a good job.

At the same time, he also understood that Lin Zhichao would also enter the shipping industry, and he was considered a vanguard; so he had to do it himself and accumulate some experience to repay Lin Zhichao's support.

"Brother Gao Fu, why did you think of going with the ship yourself and finding a few relatives and trusted associates? You don't need to go into this danger yourself!" Huang Tinggui's voice came from behind.

Li Gaofu turned around and said seriously: "I am not a young master like you or a rich kid. I only have one chance. If I don't cherish it, I will have no chance of getting ahead. Why did you agree to go with the ship?" After saying that, he became curious.

Huang Tinggui said matter-of-factly: "Since I have left the family business, I naturally don't want my elders and brothers to look down on me or laugh at me one day. So, even if it means risking my life, I have to do this well."

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite!

Competition in big families is also very fierce.

For a time, Li Gaofu and Huang Tinggui became like-minded.

In this era, if you want to make money, you have to take risks. Li Gaofu knows that his cousin's success was definitely a risk, and he got the first pot of gold for starting a business. But now, he directly has the first pot of gold, although he borrowed it.

But it's also much better.

Unknowingly, Li Gaofu has regarded Lin Zhichao as his idol, and he always thinks about how to imitate Lin Zhichao and seize opportunities step by step.

After chatting for a few words, Li Gaofu approached the captain excitedly. He now felt that he came with a mission - to learn shipping and get to know his network.

Once the cousin enters shipping, he can also give some advice or help in return for the promotion.
