Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong - Chapter 1129
London Chinatown.
Inside the hot pot restaurant.
Yan Xiong and Axe Jun occupied a seat and ate hot dishes on their own.
Shi Zhijian, dressed in white, sat alone at another dining table.
A small hot pot was placed on the dining table, and it was gurgling with smoke.
The small hot pot here is a pure mandarin duck pot. At the moment, one side is hot and steaming, while the other side is the mushrooms boiling, clucking.
Shi Zhijian picked up the chopsticks and carefully put the thinly sliced calf into the soup pot, only to see those beef slices rolling up and down with the soup!
Footsteps came from behind.
Shi Zhijian didn’t turn his head back and said to the man, “Sit down, the beef is just in the pot!”
The man walked across from Shi Zhijian, bowed slightly to Shi Zhijian, and sat down.
Shi Zhijian smiled: “This is the United Kingdom, and you are engaged in scientific research. What are you doing with so much courtesy?”
Yang Weili, who was sitting opposite, smiled: “You are from Chaozhou, and I am also from Chaozhou. You are my boss, and I will help you work part-time, so I should give you a bow!”
“Okay, just have a heart!” Shi Zhijian took out the cooked beef with chopsticks, put it in Yang Weili’s bowl, and said, “You can make up your own seasonings, I don’t know what you are. taste!”
“Teochew people still eat lightly!” Yang Weili added some sesame paste and some chopped cauliflower.
“According to your instructions, I have sold the technology to Lawrence and his son.” Yang Weili took a mouthful of steaming beef and raised his head to say to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian nodded, “Is it a bad feeling to be a boy against bones?”
“Yeah, it’s mainly because I can’t get through this in my heart!” Yang Weili said with a wry smile, “You don’t know that the ghost father and son looked at me with contempt!”
“Money, sometimes you have to do everything!”
“I hope you don’t choose me next time! John Hong can do it too, he looks a lot like Er Wu Zai!”
John Hong was born in the Chaozhou Gang, and he is also the leader of the Chaozhou Gang. He wants to be embarrassed! “
“Cough cough!” Yang Weili almost choked to death on the beef in his mouth, looked at Shi Zhijian and said, “You mean I can be shameless?”
“No! You’re thinking too much!” Shi Zhijian took another piece of beef and put it on Yang Weili’s plate, “It’s mainly temperament! You’re smart, but John Hong has a muscle!”
“You might as well say I look like a traitor!”
“I didn’t say that.”
“Your eyes have already spoken.”
“Really?” Shi Zhijian put down his chopsticks and blinked, “As your boss, you should be more reserved and don’t speak so clearly!”
“Then you give me a raise!”
“Isn’t five thousand pounds a month enough?”
“Six thousand, sixty-six, auspicious number!”
“Hey, having an employee like you is the biggest failure of my life!”
Yang Weili looked at Shi Zhijian, who sighed and sighed, and cooperated with Shi Zhijian’s tender face, no one could see that the young man in white was actually the super president in charge of the Shinhwa Group!
Yang Weili knew the viciousness and viciousness under this tender face!
It is said that this time Shi Zhijian took the initiative to ask him to secretly sell R&D technology to Lawrence and his son, and Yang Weili could not figure it out even if he broke his head. Why did Shi Zhijian do this? !
When the hot pot meal was finished, Yang Weili left first. Of course, Shi Zhijian had to pay for tonight’s meal.
After Yang Weili left, Shi Zhijian picked up the teacup and turned it in his palm, throwing a look at Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong immediately understood.
“Mr. Shi, what are your orders?” Yan Xiong walked up to Shi Zhijian and asked respectfully.
Shi Zhijian took a sip of tea: “Let’s start, take money from the Shinhwa Investment Fund to purchase the raw materials for bicycles in the UK, as well as the raw materials for making lithium batteries!”
Yan Xiong smiled: “I understand!”
After speaking, Yan Xiong waved at Axe Jun: “Don’t eat it! Work first!”
Seeing Yan Xiong and the others leaving, Shi Zhijian held the teacup and said to himself, “Set up a game and get three layers of skin off you!”
…
As the chairman of the London Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence is still very resolute in his work. Relying on his strong connections, he quickly mobilized all resources and started to refit the large factories under his control, preparing to frantically produce electric bicycles with stolen technology!
But after the production line was refitted, Lawrence got some news that surprised him. The prices of the raw materials for the production of electric bicycles actually went up!
The price of steel for the production of frames, rubber for the production of wheels, and lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganate and graphite for the production of lithium batteries have also skyrocketed!
The goods that originally only required 30 million pounds, now require 40 million!
How could this be?
Lawrence doesn’t understand. He has not started work, and the cost has increased by one-third, so do you want to continue?
At this time, his son Andre was still immersed in the great achievements of the father and son in the future, and immediately encouraged his father to do it boldly. The price increase of these materials is only temporary!
After being encouraged by his son, Lawrence gritted his teeth again and prepared to spend 40 million pounds to buy a large amount of raw materials in one go!
But just when he was thinking about whether to buy these raw materials in a daze, the prices of those raw materials skyrocketed again!
The goods that originally cost 40 million, now need 50 million!
Lawrence didn’t dare to think about it any more, for fear that he would have too many dreams at night, and then the price would be raised again. He was busy spending fifty million to buy those raw materials!
With raw materials, production is easy!
For a time, machines in major British industrial bases such as Liverpool and Birmingham roared!
Eighteen factories under the Lawrence family have all started operations. According to Lawrence’s calculations, tens of thousands of electric bicycles can be produced at least a month.
Of course, this is still in the initial stage. When those factories are familiar with the operation process and improve the production line, the number of electric bicycles produced will be more!
To be cautious, Lawrence first tentatively contacted bicycle dealers around the world and asked them if they were optimistic about the future sales of this new type of electric bicycle?
Many dealers expressed their opinions that this new type of electric bicycle is an epoch-making product, but the price is too expensive, and there will be pressure on future sales.
These feedbacks made Lawrence’s fiery heart cool a lot. Looking at the tens of thousands of electric bicycles that were about to be produced, he wondered whether to reduce production.
At this time, a ghost named “Saipan” came over and told Lawrence that he was an investor. I happened to see this new type of electric bicycle produced by Lawrence’s factory. new product, so want to order 100,000 units!
One hundred thousand units?
This number frightened Lawrence to stagger!
He never imagined that pie would fall from the sky!
I am worried about whether these things can be sold in the future, but someone came to the door to ask for an order!
However, the production cost of 100,000 units is too high. According to the current cost, at least 500 million is needed!
Such huge funds make Lawrence somewhat discouraged!
However, the profits earned by the 100,000 units in the future made him drool!
Even if one earns £1,000, 100,000 units are worth 100 million!
As the chairman of the London Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence has a lot of experience in doing business. He immediately found his own team of lawyers and signed a contract with the investor named Saipan—-If he wants to order 100,000 units, that’s good, first Take enough deposit out!
100,000 units, the deposit is at least 100 million!
Lawrence thought that when the lion opened his mouth, the other party would immediately back away in fright.
I didn’t expect that Saipan is a ruthless man, one hundred million is one hundred million!
100 million deposit, three months delivery!
Ten times the fine for breach of contract!
Looking at the signing documents in his hand and the 100 million deposits already deposited into the account, Lawrence didn’t know what to do!
Did this deal come to pass? !
Lawrence was in a complicated mood, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow!
With a deposit of 100 million in hand, Lawrence thought about squeezing out 400 million from his family as a cost to buy raw materials!
But when he was about to act, he discovered that those raw materials had risen again! Originally required 500 million raw materials, it soared to 600 million!
Lawrence is overwhelmed!
what happened?
Why do these raw materials keep rising?
The reason given by the supplier is that there have been frequent storms recently, and many transport ships loaded with rubber and graphite have sunk!
In addition, the UK’s local steel exports have increased, and the internal supply is insufficient!
According to the earliest cost price, it was only 300 million, but now it costs 600 million! Fully doubled!
According to the funds he has on hand, at most 400 million can be squeezed out, and there is still a shortfall of 200 million!
How to do?
Lawrence’s first thought was to borrow money!
But if he borrows money from his subordinates as the chairman of the London Chamber of Commerce, he really can’t save face, not to mention that borrowing money is equivalent to a showdown on the problems of his own capital chain. Those wolf ambitions in the chamber of commerce will take the opportunity to bite Lawrence’s companies and **** him. Chamber of Commerce Chairman Seat! The best way is to get a mortgage loan from a bank!
However, the loan of 200 million pounds is too much, and all the big banks in a hurry have refused Lawrence’s request under the pretext that the review will take time.
When Lawrence was overwhelmed, the Saipan who ordered his electric bicycle actually came to the door and asked about the problems he faced. He said that in order to make Lawrence deliver on time, he introduced a friend to Lawrence.
Lawrence saw the man, whose name was Shen Bi, who turned out to be the head class of HSBC.
HSBC is the largest bank in the UK with abundant funds. With Shen Bi’s help, it will definitely be able to obtain a loan.
Sure enough, after inquiring about Lawrence’s current predicament, Shen Bi analyzed the financial situation of the Lawrence family, and finally greeted HSBC Bank in the UK. After mortgaging most of the Lawrence family’s assets, the bank finally made a loan!
It’s simply a no-brainer! It also made Lawrence feel grateful to Saipan and Shen Bi!
Funds are in place, raw material purchases are sufficient, and 100,000 electric bicycles are quickly produced within three months. Everything looks so beautiful!
In this regard, Lawrence is proud at the moment, standing on the window sill drinking red wine, and saying to his son Andre: “After three months, our father and son will become celebrities! Fame and fortune!”
“Yeah, Father! But there is still one person to thank?”
“Who?”
“It’s that fool Shi Zhijian! Without him, our father and son would not have achieved such great success!”
“Hahaha! Well said! He is indeed a big fool! The Chinese are very stupid, very stupid!” Lawrence sneered, “But we still have to thank him for giving us gifts! Come, let’s toast him ,Bless him!”
The father and son raised their glasses together: “Bless him—-how do you speak Hong Kong dialect? It’s on the street! Hahaha!”
…
at the same time—
The singing competition held by the London TV station has also officially started. For a while, young people who like to sing and dance actively participate in it and show their style on TV!
Among them, the three largest entertainment companies in the UK, “Innocent Company”, “Glory Company”, and “New Era Company” have launched their own packaged signed artists, ready to come out on top in this singing competition.
In contrast, newly established Shinhwa Entertainment is also preparing to launch newly signed female singer Michelle.
In this regard, the three major entertainment companies have ridiculed the myth company for being too self-sufficient! Laughing at the president Jester for not knowing how to operate entertainment, but an English **** wants to do these things, and he doesn’t know how to die when he dies!
Amid the laughter, Shinhwa newcomer Michelle appeared on the stage with all her strength with the help of music director Sessions and others!
Unexpected!
In the first game, Michelle directly reached the top ten with a song “Yesterday Reappears”!
The audience in front of the TV was moved by her beautiful singing and praised her as “Cambridge Orioles”!
Coupled with Michelle’s irresistible face and her status as a Cambridge student, it has directly become the most discussed topic in the entire British entertainment industry.
During this period, London TV also did a special interview for her. Through interviewing Michelle, she showed the audience her love for music and shared many interesting stories about her childhood.
Then the second game started.
At this time, the contestants known as the “Top Ten” are grinding their fists one by one, and they are all ready for their trump card.
In particular, the newcomers of the three major entertainment companies in the United Kingdom have vowed to occupy the top three this time, so that Shinhwa won’t even eat shit!
But to their surprise, Michelle performed another miracle on stage! For the first time in the competition, he showed his “giant lung” singing skills! The song “My Heart Is Still” made all the British people numb their scalps and their heads explode!
There is almost no suspense!
Michelle directly reached the top three!
And also ranked first in the top three!
The “Pure Company~www.mtlnovel.com~Glory Company”, which originally vowed to occupy the top three, and the “New Era Company” were defeated by the myth! In particular, the new era company was squeezed out of the ranks of the top three, and was completely used by the myth as a “sacrifice flag”!
At this moment, Michelle’s popularity has already left the small place of the United Kingdom, relying on the show operation of Shinhwa Entertainment, interviewing through TV stations, flying to various countries to perform on stage, etc., rushing out of Europe and heading to the United States!
You know, at the moment, Michelle’s identity is still only a contestant, but her influence has already reached that of the all-powerful “Beatles” band with two songs.
Near the end of the month, Michelle participated in the final competition of this singing competition, which is the grand final!
“Pure Company” and “Honor Company” are two big companies that are bound to win the championship!
But there can only be one champion!
