Shi Zhijian spent 100,000 to acquire the To Kwa Wan On Lok Soda Factory, and the next day he asked Hu Juncai to formally sign a contract with the boss Lai and others as his personal lawyer.
Since Hu Juncai followed Shi Zhijian, he has given full play to his professional ability as a professional lawyer when he was either signing the contract or on the way to sign the contract.
Soldiers are expensive and fast, especially since the Anle Soda Drink Factory has been bankrupt for a long time. If it wants to reopen, it must be tidied up and renovated, which will cost another sum of money.
Shi Zhijian is not afraid of spending money. What he wants is time and he must race against time.
So I gave boss Lai and others two days to renovate the original factory no matter what.
Although two days are a bit tight, it is enough. After all, the soda production line, bottling line, and conveyor line in the workshop are all in perfect condition. The only thing left to do is to repair the tin house and clean it.
The entire To Kwa Wan On Lok Soda Factory has about 300 people. According to boss Lai, when the factory's business was good, it had 500 to 800 people.
But now, with the import of foreign beverages, such as Coca-Cola, 7-Up Sprite, and instant coffee, factory production has declined.
In addition, in order to expand the scale of the factory, we obtained a loan from the bank. Who knew that just after the factory expanded, the beverage market changed drastically, so that we had to use profits to repay the loan, and even the workers' wages could not be paid.
Shi Zhijian checked the debts of the soda drink factory and Citibank in Kowloon, and found that he owed Citibank 230,000 Hong Kong dollars with interest. Boss Lai was a trustworthy person, and he actually repaid 180,000 Hong Kong dollars in just three years, leaving some money left.
50000.
Now that the factory was sold for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, the boss Lai first paid back the remaining 50,000, and then used the remaining 50,000 to pay unpaid wages to the three hundred workers. After a lot of trouble, all 100,000 was spent.
Fortunately, Shi Zhijian had taken over the entire soda water factory at this time and directly allocated another 100,000 yuan as reserve funds for the soda water factory.
If you have money, you will have enough confidence.
Three hundred workers finally saw hope and the dawn.
…
Two days later, Shi Zhijian drove back to To Kwa Wan On Lok Soda Factory with samples of the newly developed soda drinks.
Shi Zhijian opened the car window and looked outside, only to see that the soda factory had been completely renovated.
Even though Shi Zhijian had been here before, he was still a little surprised by the sight of the brand new factory in front of him, with all the workers standing neatly in front of the factory in blue uniforms.
When the car stopped, Dao Daoxiong got down and opened the door for Shi Zhijian.
The moment Shi Zhijian stepped out of the car in a white suit, the workers, led by boss Lai, bowed to Shi Zhijian and shouted: "Hello, boss!"
While the workers greeted Shi Zhijian in unison, firecrackers were crackling, and there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony not far away.
For these To Kwa Wan automobile factory workers, today is a big day for the factory to come back to life, and they must celebrate it well.
Facing the greetings from 300 workers in unison, Shi Zhijian, who was dressed in white, did not feel too uncomfortable. After all, the Yuen Long factory has thousands of people, three times the number here.
Boss Lai saw that Shi Zhijian still looked calm in the face of such a large formation. He couldn't help but sigh that this boss Shi was extraordinary and definitely well-informed. He thought that when so many people greeted him like this, he was shocked.
, and then I had a great time for three days.
For those workers, it was the first day for most of them to see Shi Zhijian.
Through word-of-mouth communication from Big Boss Lai, Fatty Kun, Hei Zai, Xiang Zai and others, Shi Zhijian has an image of a well-dressed, polite and handsome boy in their minds.
In particular, there are many female workers in the factory. The young ones are in love and full of fantasies about love. The older ones, although they have had relationship experiences, also like handsome boys.
Therefore, when Shi Zhijian appeared elegantly in front of them in white, all the female workers had little stars in their eyes, showing expressions of infatuation.
"Wow, he is so handsome!"
"Yeah, he's so tall and has great shoulders!"
"I fall in love with him, what should I do?"
Seeing the commotion at the scene, Shi Zhijian was not angry. Instead, he shook hands with boss Lai and others, and clasped fists at many workers, appearing very approachable.
Looking back, Shi Zhijian followed boss Lai and others in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, stepping on red firecrackers all over the floor.
After doing all this, Shi Zhijian, surrounded by everyone, went into the factory to inspect.
In addition to the boss, Lai, who is the factory director, those people also include product developers, packagers, publicists, etc. in the factory.
These people are all seniors in the soda water factory, and they also know that the soda water factory can turn around endlessly, so everyone cherishes today's opportunity.
…
Entering the factory, Shi Zhijian's first feeling was that it was stuffy. It is supposed to be December now, and the climate in Hong Kong is not too hot. However, because the machines in the factory were running and roaring, the heat emitted filled the entire factory, which raised the temperature.
.
Shi Zhijian took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, turned around and said to the boss Lai: "The factory is not equipped with air conditioners?"
"There used to be an ice factory nearby, and we often used ice cubes to cool down. Now many people have freezers and refrigerators, so the factory has closed down." The boss Lai held a notebook in hand and looked like he was listening carefully to take notes.
Shi Zhijian nodded: "You still need an air conditioner. You can just pay the bill for how much it costs."
Boss Lai was very happy, and other people around him also showed joy on their faces.
Many times when a new factory opens, the boss only picks the strings in order to save costs, unlike Shi Zhijian who is so generous.
Boss Lai immediately wrote in his notebook: "Buy an air conditioner!"
Soon, Shi Zhijian led people into a separate workshop. There were some factory-produced beverages on the shelves in the workshop. There were about seven or eight kinds, including boxes, bottles, and bags.
"Which one was your factory's main product in the past?" Shi Zhijian asked casually.
Boss Lai hurriedly took a small bottle of drink and handed it over: "This 'grapefruit tea' is our main product!"
Shi Zhijian took it and didn't use a bottle opener. He just put it in his mouth and bit it. He bit off the bottle cap with a whoosh and took a sip from the bottle. He tasted it slightly and frowned: "The grapefruit taste is too strong."
.”
A chef stood next to him, his name was "Uncle Qi" according to the introduction of boss Lai. He was a very experienced soda maker and was good at mixing various drinks.
"Boss, the bottle you are drinking is grapefruit tea, of course it has grapefruit flavor!"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "I'm not saying you are wrong, but you have to understand the market. How many people in the market really like to eat grapefruit? What is the function of grapefruit tea? Besides making tea, what else can you do with grapefruit?
Have you ever thought about it?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Shi Zhijian smiled again and said: "We are here to do business. The most important thing in doing business is to understand people's hearts and understand customer needs!"
"Actually, grapefruit tea can also be classified as herbal tea, which is used to dispel fire and refresh people. However, there are many types of herbal teas. Why don't we develop some herbal teas with better taste and more pure effects? For example, mulberry tea, or ---
