Siheyuan: Space takes me to exchange!
Chapter 229 Riot
This stumped Li Xiuyuan. He had everything he needed, but he didn't know how to develop the company in the future, so he had to ask someone.
To put it bluntly, his vision is not broad enough and he has no plans for the future.
In his previous life, he was a college graduate from an ordinary family, so it was good that he didn't let his desires get the better of him. However, if he continued like this, he would suffer sooner or later.
Uncle Feng seemed to have known that Li Xiuyuan would ask this question, and was not surprised at all. Instead, he asked him: "So what do you hope for the future to be like?"
Li Xiuyuan said without hesitation: "My expectation? In the future, Baiyi Food can be sold to every country in the world. I hope that my security company will be the strongest in the world. Good people will feel safe when they mention him, and bad people will tremble when they hear his name!"
Uncle Feng stared at Li Xiuyuan with admiration, and secretly sighed in his heart: This young man is really not simple! He did not think that Li Xiuyuan was talking nonsense at all, but was full of admiration for him.
Because only those who have dreams will move forward courageously and strive to pursue them; on the contrary, if a person loses even his dreams, wouldn’t his life be as boring as a stagnant pool of water? What is the meaning of such a life?
Uncle Feng said earnestly: "In my opinion, you should try to change your way of doing things. You know, it is difficult for a powerful dragon to fight against a local snake. It is not wise to show off your strength when you first arrive. You might as well lay a solid foundation first and accumulate strength for a breakthrough. As the saying goes, 'those who lie in wait for a long time will surely fly high', and when the time is right, you can take off in one fell swoop. Remember not to rush for success, you need to wait patiently for the best time. Once you seize the opportunity, you will surely make a big splash and become a dragon in the sky!"
……
After listening to Uncle Feng's words, Li Xiuyuan immediately changed his strategy and focused on development.
He no longer tried to show off his talents, but instead buried himself in his work, devoting himself to product planning and marketing.
At the same time, he also carefully formulated the company's strategies and development goals and built a marketing and sales team.
To do business in Hong Kong, socializing and interpersonal skills are also very important, and you need connections in both the black and white worlds. So, he took the initiative to invite Boss Jiang to have tea, build relationships, and also attended the cocktail party hosted by Lei Luo.
However, he maintained a distant relationship with people like Lei Luo, to prevent being involved in future liquidations.
He made friends with many people in the business world through Lou's father.
Lou's father sold some gold and silver antiques and started a plastic products factory with the support of Li Xiuyuan. It was not large in the beginning, but Li Xiuyuan's orders alone were enough to make a living.
Father Lou also has some old friends in Hong Kong, all of whom came from the mainland during the liberation period. Most of them started businesses here. He often took his eldest son and Li Xiuyuan to attend their gatherings.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan has one foot in Hong Kong's business circle. Although he is not one of the big businessmen like the Huo, Zheng, Guo, and Li families, everything has to be done step by step.
The security training was handed over to Chen Hu's comrades Yang Ming and Master Li.
Big Bucktooth is in charge of factory security, while Gao Qi is still in charge of store security.
Chen Hu followed Li Xiuyuan.
While Yan Jiefang was attending school, he also interned in various stores with Gao Qi.
His motivation for studying was the big promises that Li Xiuyuan had painted for him. For the Yan family, who value money above all else, not talking about money would hurt feelings, and everything else is nothing in front of money.
The company's development was proceeding in an orderly manner, and time soon came to April.
Li Xiuyuan received orders for beverages from some Southeast Asian countries for a food company, which made his factory space and equipment insufficient.
Li Xiuyuan used the money he earned in the past few months to urgently build a batch of factory buildings. While purchasing equipment, he continued to recruit workers.
He recruited honest and capable workers and did not accept those who were dishonest or cunning. As long as they entered his factory, they would receive generous treatment and benefits.
Li Xiuyuan has formulated a set of very strict yet humane rules and regulations for the factory. He is strict on food safety because it is food after all, but in the work, some systems also reflect humanity.
In his factory, workers only work eight hours a day and have one day off a week! Not only do they get overtime pay, but the overtime hours are also not too long. Only by combining work and rest can you do better at work! Such a factory can easily beat all other factories in Hong Kong!
Recently I heard about a plastic flower factory in San Po Kong, Kowloon, that was exploiting its workers.
Hong Kong is now in a period of rapid development, with various factories and real estate investments emerging one after another, but the treatment of workers has not improved. Not only do factories not increase wages, but they cut wages instead. Workers are not allowed to take vacations, and workers have to pay for broken machines themselves.
Are these workers capable? They work hard for a month but earn little money, and instead pay the factory for losses. How can they support their families?
In contrast, the workers in Li Xiuyuan's factory are very happy. Not only do they have the highest wages among all workers in Hong Kong, they also enjoy benefits such as vacations and overtime pay.
Li Xiuyuan also plans to build a school for workers' children, a hospital, a shopping mall and other facilities near the factory, but the planning is still ongoing and it will probably take until the second half of the year before they can be implemented.
In May, something happened in Hong Kong that shocked the world!
That is, workers all over Hong Kong went on strike... The reason was still that plastic flower factory, they exploited the workers, and put the workers under great pressure, so they had to stand up and resist. But the factory not only did not appease the workers' emotions, but also fired hundreds of workers and closed the factory to retaliate against the workers.
The workers lost their jobs and faced great pressure in life, so they started to strike.
At first, it was just the workers at the plastic flower factory who marched in the streets in protest, hoping that the government would step in to solve the problem.
However, the Hong Kong government did not step in to mediate the conflict between the factory and the workers. Instead, it directly sent police to suppress the workers. Some workers were killed and injured in the conflict, which ignited the anger of workers throughout Hong Kong.
Finally, the situation escalated. The Hong Kong police arrested and detained workers and used tear gas on them. They even detained union representatives. When two countries are at war, they don’t kill envoys! You detained the negotiating representatives, which immediately angered the workers. They not only marched in the streets, but also marched in front of the Governor’s Mansion.
However, the Hong Kong government still did not think about solving the problem. Instead, it mobilized more police to suppress the workers by force.
Finally, workers all over Hong Kong could no longer stand it. They united to oppose exploitation. In the end, even students, the masses, other gas companies, bus drivers, and the Star Ferry joined the march.
This shows how seriously the Hong Kong government and some businessmen exploit workers.
Even the workers in Li Xiuyuan's factory couldn't stand it anymore and asked their boss to let them join the march to save other fellow workers who were in dire straits.
Finally, Li Xiuyuan couldn't resist their enthusiasm, so he had to remind them not to delay production, go in batches, and let the security personnel keep an eye on them, so that they would not go out in good health and come back with injuries.
A boss like him who supports workers against bosses is really... unique among Scorpion Baba.
Unexpectedly, this "anti-violence" march became more and more violent and lasted for half a year. In the end, the foreigners in Hong Kong even sent out helicopters, and the situation became increasingly out of control.
There were also many bloody and deadly incidents, and the police were arresting more and more people, but the foreigners even sent out helicopters and still couldn't suppress the riot.
The march lasted from May to December, and the riots were only ended after the mainland intervened to mediate. As a result, the foreigners in Hong Kong became afraid and finally introduced some policies to appease the people of Hong Kong.
The riot also caused many Hong Kong tycoons to flee Hong Kong and sell off a large number of properties and assets, causing Hong Kong real estate to plummet. The four major families in Hong Kong's business community bought the properties sold by the tycoons, and Li Xiuyuan also participated in the purchase.
And it’s the purchase of the entire building.
Don't ask him where the money comes from?
Anyway, he can travel back to the United States at any time and live a simple life. Isn't it enough for him to "borrow" a little from each bank?
The riots stopped in December and Li Xiuyuan met Zhao Dantong again in Hong Kong.
