I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 48 Shengjia sewing machine (recommendation ticket! Ask for monthly ticket!)

  Such a long journey, Wu Guangyao will inevitably fall into planning for the future.

  This year (1948), I concentrated on developing the three industries of garments, zippers and jewelry.

  Don't underestimate these three industries. After the four major families on Hong Kong Island, two of them started or made a fortune with one of these industries.

  Zheng Yutong started in the jewelry industry, and Guo Desheng represented YKK zipper to make a fortune.

  Even the ready-to-wear industry has also spawned a lot of rich men, but these rich men's later reputations are not obvious, and the public is not familiar with them.

  So I still have to do these three lines well before I plan to develop other industries. This is the basic quality of a businessman.

  As for the decoration company and the trading company, there are two professionals, Xue Cheng and Zhao Xi, and you only need to come up with ideas!

  The plane sailed for a few hours and arrived in the Philippines. It took a period of rest before taking off to Hawaii again.

  The Philippines has been a colony of the U.S. Empire since 1898, and it was not until 1946 that the U.S. Empire agreed to his independence.

   Even so, the US military still has several military bases in the Philippines.

Sure enough, it took off again, and there were two more US lieutenants on the plane.

  I don’t know if I returned to the U.S. or to Hawaii.

  Three days later, Wu Guangyao finally set foot on the territory of the United States and embarked on this expedition trip.

  Omai Business sends someone to pick it up?

  Don’t think about it, you are not so important yet!

   got off the plane, took a taxi, and the two went to Omai Trading.

  Looking at the high-rise buildings in San Francisco, the shock in the hearts of the two of them could not be added!

  Wu Guangyao thought in his heart that this was the end of the 1940s, and he felt that he had returned to China in the millennium.

   Zhao Xi has never seen such a high-rise building and a car Yanmar, and lamented the power of the American Emperor.

  Nothing happened along the way. The taxi driver saw that both of them were fluent in English, and they did not look down on and detour, and slaughtered the passengers.

  This made Wu Guangyao sigh, the American emperor of this era, except for the race QS, should be considered peaceful!

  In the 21st century, Wu Guangyao was often detoured and slaughtered by taxis!

  When I came to Ouzou Trading Company, the person in charge was very enthusiastic and introduced the staff who accompanied them on this trip—Tim.

  Tim is an enthusiastic white man, but also a talkative, which makes Wu Guangyao feel a little headache.

   But even though he talks a little bit more, he is a competent tour guide anyway.

  Led by Tim, the two found a hotel that looked good.

  I plan to take a rest and visit the Los Angeles factory of Meidishengjia Sewing Machine Company tomorrow.

  Singer Company is a company that started producing sewing machines early in the United States and is currently the leader in the sewing machine industry.

   "Wu, Zhao, this hotel is reasonably priced and has a good environment. The most important thing is that there is a mysterious surprise at night!" Tim introduced the two with a smirk.

   Zhao Xi looked curious and was about to ask Tim, Wu Guangyao stopped him.

  Tim gave Wu Guangyao's face that you are an LSP, and then left the hotel.

   "Guangyao, what does he mean?" Zhao Xi asked curiously, looking at the mysteriousness of the two.

   "It's not interesting, but there are women at night, do you need it? If you need it, you have to open another room." Wu Guangyao joked that the two naturally only needed one room in order to save money.

  It’s not easy to start a business, how can you enjoy it!

   "Ah! Of course I don't need it, it's insulting to be gentle!" Zhao Xi was teased by Wu Guangyao, and his face turned shy.

"What kind of shame is this insulting, you love me! Besides, this business has been there since ancient times, you don't need it, there is always someone who needs it. To put it bluntly, it is a business!" Wu Guangyao's words are obviously analyzed from his own perspective. .

  Taking a hot bath and feeling the modern facilities, Wu Guangyao is full of thoughts.

  Early the next morning, Tim drove the car to pick up the two people and went to visit the Singer Sewing Machine Factory in Los Angeles.

   "Wu and Li, how did you two rest last night?" Tim said in a frivolous tone.

  Wu Guangyao preemptively said: "Very well, no one came in to bother us. Let us wash the boats and cars for a few days."

   "Really? Then you have missed the best thing in life!" Tim looked at the two of them with a pity expression.

  The factories visited this time are all in Western California, so it doesn’t take too long. Wu Guangyao estimated that it would be about 15 days.

   is only a state of the U.S., and I am afraid that these enterprises and factories are enough to hit half of Europe.

   After all, California itself is an industrial state of the U.S., and its industry is quite developed.

  At the Shengjia sewing machine factory, Wu Guangyao carefully studied their advantages while writing them down, and even took photos with the camera.

  Looking at the sewing machines coming to the door on a conveyor belt, Wu Guangyao was indeed shocked. In this era, they have developed so much.

  As for Zhao Xi, let alone, if it weren't for Wu Guangyao to remind him, it would be too embarrassing.

  After lunch, the Shengjia factory arranged for someone to demonstrate the operation and maintenance of the sewing machine in the afternoon.

  Wu Guangyao was fully absorbed, for fear of missing something, but fortunately, his mind in this world is quite clever.

   Even so, Wu Guangyao did not impulsively made up his mind to purchase, and proposed to visit the factory and receive training tomorrow.

  The next day, I came to Shengjia again. Wu Guangyao worked tirelessly to study and record, and he was not impatient at all.

  In the evening, I made an appointment with the person in charge of the Singer factory and said that I would buy it.

  But in terms of price, Wu Guangyao feels that Shengjia is selling himself high, and he is very dissatisfied.

  An industrial sewing machine is as high as $500. If you buy 50 sets, you will get $25,000.

  I have to buy another flat sewing machine, which also costs US$350 each. If I order 20 sets, it’s US$7,000.

  Adding 25% of the cost of paying the trading company, the sewing machine alone can get 40,000 US dollars, which is 160,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is a bit overwhelming.

  In this way, a garment factory alone has invested nearly 300,000 yuan.

  What about the zipper factory, I only have more than 500,000 funds in total.

  Wu Guangyao had to bite the bullet and bargain, and the person in charge became impatient. The two types of sewing machines finally lost $10 each for himself.

  Just when the person in charge James thought he was going to sign a contract, Wu Guangyao used his own assassin.

"Mr. James, I have a few small patents about your sewing machine improvement plan. Would you like to buy it?" This is Wu Guangyao's killer. He graduated as a mechanical major, was born in the mold industry, and is now smart Mind.

  In two days, Wu Guangyao finally discovered the shortcomings of the Shengjia sewing machine and thought of improvements.

"Wu, you are joking. You are a genius. It is impossible to discover our shortcomings in two days, and there are even improvement plans. To tell you the truth, I have already given the lowest price. If you still want to bargain, Then please do it yourself!" James finally got a little impatient, this Asian is too caressing.

  Wu Guangyao was not upset, took out his hand-drawn materials, and said to James: "You take a look first, or find an engineer to take a look, I will delay your work for a while, I promise I did not lie!"

  James looked at the beautiful hand-painted mechanical drawings by Wu Guangyao, and he was also interested. He found out the unusual in this look. After a while, he called several projects in the factory and several people conducted research together.

  At this time, Zhao Xi and Tim’s eyes were full of incredible, who is this?

  At night, the two parties finally reached an agreement and signed the contract.

  Wu Guangyao bought 50 industrial A-type sewing machines for 450 US dollars each, and 20 industrial B-type sewing machines for 300 US dollars each, for a total of 28,500 US dollars.

  My own patent actually sold more than 2,800 US dollars, I have to say the importance of knowledge!

   "Wu, you are really a genius. If you have a follow-up improvement plan, I hope you will consider continuing to cooperate with us, we will not let you suffer." At this time, James was convinced by Wu Guangyao.

   "Of course, happy cooperation!"
