Return to 1958 and build a century-old giant

Chapter 57 Industry First (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"Really? Brother Dong." Lin Haoyu and Zhao Liming almost pounced on Yang Wendong.

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Of course, isn't making money for a better life? Now that we have made money, what else can we do if we don't spend it on our family?"

"Okay, then I'll go back to the dormitory right now and tell my parents." Lin Haoyu said quickly, but suddenly he saw the fly trap on the table and he was a little stunned.

Yang Wendong waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It won't make a difference if we delay it for a day. Let's go."

Zhao Liming also stood up immediately and said, "Okay, I'll go back right away too."

"Yeah." Yang Wendong nodded, and then said to Su Yiyi: "Yiyi, let's go find a house nearby this afternoon, and everyone will move into a normal house."

It has been almost half a year since he traveled through time. Now everything in his factory is back on track. This has finally put his mind at ease and he can let his family live in the brick house with peace of mind.

After Zhao Liming and Lin Haoyu left, Yang Wendong took Su Yiyi to a nearby residential area.

On the way, Su Yiyi said, "Brother Dong, can we live like the rich people in Hong Kong in the future?"

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "It will be possible in the future, but it's still a long way off now. We can only say that we are about to live a normal to above-average life like Hong Kong people."

In today's Hong Kong, if you can live in a brick house, even if it is rented, with electricity and running water, and are not very short of money, you are already better off than most people.

In the 50s, polarization in Hong Kong was particularly serious. British foreigners and some wealthy people who moved from the mainland were the mainstream of social wealth, and a very small group controlled a large amount of wealth.

There are successful entrepreneurs like Yang Wendong, but they are very few, and most of them are wealthy people themselves, such as Bao Yugang, who brought in tens of thousands of dollars in wealth from the mainland.

Compared with the entrepreneurs and capitalists of this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Jiacheng started from scratch, because in human history, there are very few people who truly started from scratch.

Su Yiyi nodded and said, "I'm really satisfied if this is the case.

Besides, after you became rich, you also took care of the people in the squatter hut, as well as Liming and Haoyu."

Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Liming and Haoyu are brothers. When we were young, we fought with others back to back. Now this is nothing.

I will also try my best to provide formal jobs for those people in the squatters, but at the moment, the jobs I can offer are just a drop in the bucket.”

"It's okay. It's only been half a year. Maybe in a few years, Brother Dong, you will be with that Li~" Su Yiyi frowned and said, "The one who made plastic flowers you mentioned last time."

Yang Wendong added: "Li Jiacheng."

"Yes." Su Yiyi said, "I saw a newspaper last time saying that he is the plastic flower king of Hong Kong. He has 7000 employees and two industrial buildings in North Point. He produces plastic flowers every day. He is really amazing."

"That's amazing. I also hope that sooner or later my factory can have 7000 employees." Yang Wendong nodded.

The peak of Hong Kong's industry in the 50s was truly Li Ka-shing, who, with a plastic flower, created direct employment for nearly % of Hong Kong's population and generated annual profits of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

This is also the foundation for Li Jiacheng's future success.

Unfortunately, he had a keen eye and realized that Hong Kong's manufacturing industry was far less promising than the real estate industry, so he later focused all his energy on real estate.

Su Yiyi said with a smile: "I can't even imagine a factory with 7000 employees. My mother would probably be too busy cooking."

"Have you heard of the emperor's golden hoe?" Yang Wendong asked with a smile.

Su Yiyi shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Yang Wendong said: "In ancient times, some farmers were curious about what the emperor used to farm, and they all guessed that he used a hoe made of gold. Do you think that's right?" "No, it's not? The emperor still needs to farm?" Su Yiyi asked back.

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Yes, you said the same thing just now. We already have a factory with 7000 employees. Why would we let your mother cook?"

"Yeah, I'm a little confused." Su Yiyi said a little embarrassedly.

"However, I will work hard. I want to attract more than 7000 people to come to my factory in the future," Yang Wendong said.

Although he also knows that the future of Hong Kong's real estate industry is stronger than that of the industrial sector, he will inevitably enter the real estate industry in the future.

However, he will not give up on factory industry, and it will even remain his mainstream development direction in the next ten years.

Without mentioning any professional analysis, just looking at the data, Hong Kong's future real estate industry rose in the 70s, and the rise of Chinese capital was in the 80s.

There are many complex reasons for this, but the market's choice shows that the real estate industry may have made some profits in the 60s, but it was still not as profitable as various industries.

Throughout the 60s and even the early 70s, the most well-known Chinese groups in Hong Kong were various "industrial tycoons" or shipping magnates.

Therefore, industry comes first, which is still the development direction he set for himself.

Yang Wendong has some money now, so renting a house is not a problem, but it is still difficult to find several empty rooms together.

After asking around, I found out that since the beginning of this year, more people have come to Hong Kong, which has led to higher rental prices, fewer vacancies, and even house prices have started to rise.

Yang Wendong also roughly knew that a new wave of real estate bull market in Hong Kong was about to begin, although compared with the 1970s and 1980s, it was only a calf.

That afternoon, the two did not find a suitable house. In the following two days, they went to many houses to ask for a house. Finally, Yang Wendong decided to rent two houses next to each other, which could be regarded as a small single-family villa.

Later, Zhao Liming and Lin Haoyu's families also moved in.

Four families live in two houses, and it's not crowded.

Time quickly entered June, and Yang Wendong spent a lot of money to register a patent for the fly board.

The business of the Changxing Pest Control Factory also began to improve.

After half a month of opening the factory, Yang Wendong calculated that the net profit exceeded HK$1000, which allowed him to generously treat An Yongqiang and Zhao Chengguang to a big meal at the most luxurious hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.

"Mr. Yang, haha, business is booming." Zhao Chengguang and An Yongqiang said with a big laugh as they entered the private room.

Yang Wendong also stood up and said with a smile: "It's the same for Mr. Zhao. If my business is good, Mr. Zhao and Ansheng's business will also be good."

An Yongqiang also laughed and said, "Yes, the three of us are together now."

"Sit down." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

After everyone was seated, the three of them naturally chatted while enjoying the food, until an hour later, when they were almost done eating.

Yang Wendong said: "You two, I asked you to come here, in addition to thanking you for your cooperation during this period, there are two other things."

PS: I had a meeting this morning, so this chapter is a little late, sorry
