In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 151 Advance Preparation for Winter

For Aimego, the peak of orders has already passed, so there is no need to continue expanding production. It is sufficient to maintain the current production scale.

Even if you wait more than two months, fan orders will enter the off-season, which will last for four or five months.

It will not be until April next year that orders for fans will continue to pick up.

Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, the days of such huge profits will not last long, and next year may be the last wave.

By 1981, the fan market in North America had already become saturated.

A saturated market means that demand is greatly reduced. As a result, the number of orders will naturally drop rapidly, and there will not be much money to be made.

In other words, the heyday of the fan market in North American cities lasted only two short years. Despite this, Lin Haoran was already very satisfied.

As for the European market, Lin Haoran was not clear about it, because the Liu he knew in his previous life was someone who only focused on the North American market.

As a result, in this world, influenced by Lin Haoran, Aigo Company finally intervened in the European market and began to thrive there.

Of course, no matter what the European market is like, Lin Haoran has already planned to wait until next autumn to lead Aigo to go public, and then find a buyer to make a fortune before the market's last glorious moment.

He is not satisfied with just making 200 to 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, this is a plan for the future. Lin Haoran just has this idea in mind in advance.

Last time, the company spent money to buy a piece of land in Kwun Tong, but there was no rush to build. Now that the land is in hand, it doesn’t matter when to build.

Now, with so many orders, Liu Luanxiong can't take care of so many things. He plans to wait until winter, when the number of fan orders decreases and the company's affairs decrease, and then he will prepare to build a new factory and headquarters that will belong entirely to Aigo Company on the new land.

"It's settled then!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Well, I'll talk to Director Li about this later. It's enough for the company to keep a few million Hong Kong dollars as reserve funds. Let's divide the remaining 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars. It's a pity that there is still a sum of more than million Hong Kong dollars that will not arrive in the account until a few days, otherwise we can get more." Liu Luanxiong said with some regret.

After this dividend distribution, the amount of money earned by the two from Aigo Company exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars each.

This can also be considered as being influenced by Lin Haoran.

If he had not interfered with Liu Luanxiong's development, Liu Luanxiong would have to wait until next year to earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now, because Lin Haoran has expanded the production scale of Aimego Company ahead of time, his ability to receive orders has also been greatly improved. Not only that, he has also entered the European market, which is similar to the North American market, causing him to make money more than twice as fast.

Therefore, although Lin Haoran used Liu Luanxiong to make money, Liu Luanxiong also earned more thanks to Lin Haoran.

"Oh, Xiong, our Aimego company's current business is mainly the production of fans, including ceiling fans, floor fans, etc. In the summer, there is naturally no need to consider other things, but in the winter, the fan orders will be greatly reduced.

Now we have rented three factories and have so many employees. It won't be a big deal to lay off most of them. It would also be a waste of resources to leave the factories empty.

So I suggest that when the order volume starts to decline in the fall, our Aigo factory should consider producing things that are urgently needed in Europe and North America in winter. Let me give you an example, electric blankets. Electric blankets do not consume much electricity and will definitely be liked by everyone.

In addition, there are some other popular products. You can also conduct research in advance to see what products they need most during the oil crisis in winter. We can prepare in advance, and when the season comes, we can produce in large quantities to fill the vacant window when fan orders fall.

In this way, we can not only retain skilled workers, but also increase the profits of our Aimego Company, and we can naturally make more money. "Lin Haoran told Liu Luanxiong something he thought of before coming here.

By winter, not to mention the three industrial buildings, even the two-story production workshop is enough to handle the off-season orders.

The basic working principle of products like electric blankets is to heat the blanket through electric heating elements, thereby providing warmth.

The technical threshold for this product is not high, the process is relatively simple, the production threshold is not high, and the production cost is also low. Even an ordinary small workshop can produce it.

Electric blankets can cause fire accidents because many unscrupulous manufacturers cut corners during production. As long as Aigo is not a unscrupulous factory and the quality is guaranteed, Europe and the United States will also be a large market.

Moreover, Aimego now has many distributors in Europe and the United States. It is impossible for these distributors to only sell fans. These are all good channels. Now that the cooperation is so good, when the time comes, we can promote Aimego's new products to them, and these distributors will be happy to place orders.

Of course, the electric blanket is just an example he gave. To decide what products Aimego produces, it needs to conduct market research.

"Haoran, your idea is great. I was thinking about what to do with the factory and the many employees after winter. Your idea has solved these two problems for our company.

Orders will definitely start to fall next month, and they will fall even more in November. Your idea is timely. I will ask European and American dealers to give me some suggestions in the next two months. They must know more about the local market, and then I will make preparations based on their suggestions. "After listening to Lin Haoran's suggestion, Liu Luanxiong's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed with Lin Haoran's idea.

Nowadays, Aimego's production lines are all simple production lines. Even if they are replaced with other products with low technical content, there is no need to change the production lines.

After chatting with Liu Luanxiong for a short while in the company, he went back to work.

For Liu Luanxiong, now is the best time to make money and he cannot waste time. The reason why Aimego's products have such a stable number of old customers is because they are of good quality. Therefore, quality supervision is the top priority and Liu Luanxiong has always been very strict in this regard.

Lin Haoran did not stay in the company for long. He continued to drink tea by himself for a while, then left Kwun Tong with the two brothers Li Weiguo and Li Weidong.

After getting the bosses' signatures, Financial Director Li Meihui transferred the money to the two bosses that afternoon.

This time, the company directly took out 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars for dividends, and in the end Lin Haoran and Liu Luanxiong each received million Hong Kong dollars.

The first time, 40 million Hong Kong dollars were divided, and the second time, 65 million Hong Kong dollars were divided.

Before he knew it, Lin Haoran had made a profit of HK$1.05 million in less than a year after investing in the company.

His investment was only HK$120 million, which was almost a hundred times the profit.

Huge profits, really huge profits!

Of course, he also knows that the upper limit of this industry is not high. It does not mean that if you invest 100 million, you can make 1 million, which means that if you invest 1 million, you can make 100 billion. This is simply impossible.

The arrival of HK$65 million will allow Huanyu Investment Company to continue for a while.

When he has spent all his money, he will find a way to raise the money.

Lin Haoran roughly calculated that he now controls about 18.86% of the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group. When Universal Investment Company spends the HK$3 million, he will be able to increase his shares to more than 22% based on the price of HK$ per share.

22% of the shares is already a lot, but he is definitely not satisfied.

The Hong Kong Electric Group is a piece of fat meat and can easily attract the attention of other bigwigs.

Therefore, the higher the shareholding ratio, the safer it is.

After returning to Qingzhou Yingni Company, Lin Haoran called Su Zhixue to tell him that there was sufficient funds in the account and they could continue trading tomorrow.

After making the call, he approved two important plans in the office, then took them downstairs to the general manager's office.

Burton was not in the office, so Lin Haoran put the plan directly into the drawer, walked out of the general manager's office, and closed the door.

After receiving Lin Haoran's support for diversified development, Burton has obviously become much busier. Now no one knows where he is going to conduct research.

Passing by the Finance Department office, Lin Haoran noticed that Huo Jianning was concentrating on writing something in the office, so he walked in.

The finance office is not small, and the financial director has a small independent office.

"Boss, you're here." Hearing the footsteps, Huo Jianning looked up and found that it was the boss who came.

"Jianning, you have been in the company for nearly three months. How do you feel?" Lin Haoran pulled a chair and sat down, crossing his legs and asked with a smile.

One month after Huo Jianning joined Qingzhou Yingni Company, he passed the assessment of General Manager Burton and officially took over the position of Financial Director.

It has been more than a month now.

"I feel very good. Mr. Burton is a very nice person. He is willing to teach me everything. Now I can not only handle all matters big and small in the Finance Department, but I can also learn any experience in business management. During my time in the company, I feel that my life is very fulfilling. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity." Huo Jianning said respectfully.

The reason why Burton taught him was naturally because of Lin Haoran's instructions, otherwise Burton would not have taken such good care of Huo Jianning.

"Well, that's good. Work hard. Qingzhou Yingni Company is just a temporary platform for you. It is mainly for you to learn and grow up as quickly as possible. If you satisfy me, you will be transferred to a larger platform soon. Of course, I will keep it confidential for the time being, and you should know it in a few months." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

Lin Haoran has not told anyone about the secret acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Group. Only he and the traders of Universal Investment Company know about it.

In fact, even those traders only thought that Lin Haoran absorbed the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group for investment purposes, and did not think that Lin Haoran's purpose was to acquire him.

Only Su Zhixue, a 100% loyal subordinate, knows more.

"By the way, boss, I've always been curious. You came to my house before and told me that you found me through a friend's introduction. I especially want to know who this friend is." Huo Jianning changed the subject and asked about this matter again.

This imaginary friend certainly does not exist, so Lin Haoran is destined to not be able to satisfy Huo Jianning's curiosity.

"I promised him that I would not tell you who he is. I must not go back on my word. Please don't make things difficult for me." Lin Haoran laughed.
