Ding Wushou's father, Ding Xiongzhao, was one of the earliest Chinese entrepreneurs in Hong Kong to devote himself to industry. He started his business by producing plastics as early as the late 1940s and was a well-known "plastic pioneer" in Hong Kong.

Later, plastic toys became more and more popular in Europe and the United States, and Ding Xiongzhao took advantage of the situation to enter the toy industry. The Kaida Group he founded soon became one of the largest export toy manufacturers in Hong Kong.

Ding Xiongzhao has been dead for several years, and Kaida Group is now jointly managed by Ding Wushou and his brother Ding Heshou.

"Since the 1970s, orders for electric toys have increased. However, the quality of batteries produced locally in Hong Kong is poor, and the cost of importing from abroad is too high.

So my father decided to start a battery factory by himself, which is the battery factory's production line on the five-story building." Ding Wushou took Zhou Yang to visit his own factory while introducing the basic situation of Kaida Group.

Kaida Group now mainly exports toys and also operates electronic products such as batteries, motors, radios, etc. Its factory is located in the North Point area of ​​Hong Kong Island, with eight industrial buildings and a total of more than 10,000 employees.

Zhou Yang has been to the office building where Kaida Group’s headquarters is before, but this is the first time they have visited their production area.

"Brother Wu Shou, these two factories must have been built for many years, right?" Zhou Yang pointed to the front right and said, "The two three-story buildings with some mottled exterior walls.

"That's right, these two buildings were built in the early 1960s and have been used for almost twenty years. The steel bars used to build the building were not as many now, so we dare not put large machines upstairs. They are mainly used for toy assembly and packaging workshops." Ding Wushou nodded and said.

"The average price of houses in North Point now costs 1,000 yuan per foot, right?" Zhou Yang suddenly mentioned the housing prices again.

"Yes, the most profitable business in Hong Kong now is selling houses!" Ding Wushou sighed.

"So whether it is the north corner of Hong Kong Island or Hung Hom on the other side of Victoria Harbour, the land in the city center is a waste of resources!

Brother Wu Shou, if you two brothers are bolder, they moved their factories to Yuen Long or Tuen Mun a few years ago, and then used the land here to build a building. Now their net worth can at least double!” Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"I regret it too, but it's too late to enter the game now!" Ding Wushou shook his head with a smile.

He was still very clear and understood that behind the prosperity of Hong Kong's property market, there was a crisis.

"I mentioned to you last time that you Kaida should move your factory to Shenhai City. Not to mention the profits of building a building and selling a house, the salary cost alone can save a lot.

If you hire an employee in Hong Kong, you will have a salary of about HK$1,000 per month. If Kaida puts the factory in the Deep Sea Special Zone, I will only use HK$300 to handle it.

Your company now has more than 10,000 people, and you can spend nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars less than your salary this year. How many millions can your Kaida Group make the annual profit?" Zhou Yang calculated carefully.

"Haha, although you said it is correct, it is not easy to relocate the factory!" Ding Wushou shook his head without comment.

"It's not simple, but if someone provides you with ready-made factories and workers, and even factory approval, tax payment, import and export customs declaration, etc., there will be a special person to quickly connect with you, Kaida Group, is you interested in sitting down and having a talk?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.

"Aren't you joking?" Ding Wushou was a little disbelief.

"I can't run far to the North Point just to come and make such a joke with you! I know you can't make a decision on this matter alone, so when I called before, I asked if Brother Heshou was here.

Let's go to his office to discuss in detail, so that I will not explain to you brothers!" Zhou Yang patted Ding Wushou on the shoulder, and then took the lead in walking forward.

Although the headquarters of Kaida Group is not here, the two brothers of the Ding family have their own offices in the factory. After all, they come to the factory from time to time to inspect the production situation.

"With Brother Shou, we don't have many opportunities to meet. You may not know me as well as Brother Shou. I like to be straightforward when speaking and doing things, and put everything on the table and explain it clearly.

In order to promote investment promotion, the Deep Sea SAR Government has decided to set up a special export industrial park for Hong Kong enterprises.

There are three main highlights of this industrial park. The first is to provide standardized factories, so that Hong Kong-funded enterprises can save time in early construction of factories and start production and operation immediately after entering.

The second highlight is that the SAR government will establish a special labor dispatch company, which will recruit qualified employees to meet the requirements from the entire city and even the entire eastern Guangdong province to solve the worries that no one can be used by the enterprise.

The third highlight is that the SAR government will set up a special administrative service center in the industrial park to connect with all the pain points and difficulties encountered in the production and operation of enterprises, and provide a high-quality and efficient business environment!" Zhou Yang talked to the two brothers of the Ding family.

"Ayang, I know you work at Merrill Lynch Bank, why are you now transformed into a salesman in Deep Sea City?" Ding Heshou was not in a hurry to talk about the serious matter, but asked curiously.

"Northern people like to dip vinegar when eating dumplings, so there is a joke in the north called 'This dumpling is made for this little vinegar'. The same is true for me now!

Brother Wu Shou should know that I and Deep Sea Real Estate Company had previously opened a joint venture in Hong Kong. Brother Xu Jinggan was invited by me to become the president of this company.

Qionglou Real Estate has limited cost, so it will be difficult to operate large-scale real estate projects. So we took more than 100 acres of industrial land in the westernmost part of the deep sea city, preparing to enter the industrial real estate with smaller investments.

We will definitely not open a factory ourselves, so we can only learn from the real estate companies in Hong Kong and rent it out after building the industrial building.

However, Hong Kong and the Deep Sea Special Zone are different after all. In order to attract Hong Kong entrepreneurs to rent factories in Deep Sea City, we have to carefully study the reasons that hinder Hong Kong businessmen from investing north and then find ways to solve them one by one.

The SAR government also happened to have a strong desire to attract investment, so at the suggestion of our Qionglou Real Estate, the SAR government decided to set up a special export industrial park as a pilot for improving investment promotion services." Zhou Yang explained in detail.

The industrial park is a one-stop administrative service center. This is something that is being done in the southeast coastal provinces before Zhouyang travels through.

Zhou Yang had been to the administrative service center several times because of household registration, social security, etc. So he had never eaten pork, but had seen pigs running.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to engage in industrial real estate, he simply threw out the administrative service center decades in advance. Fortunately, the Deep Sea Special Zone is now like a piece of white paper, but it has the ambition to outline mountains and rivers.

Zhou Yang only referred to his later experiences and briefly introduced how to do industrial parks and administrative service centers. Several major leaders in the city immediately realized the huge reform significance contained in this.
