Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Tsuen Wan is about 11 to 15 kilometers away from Sha Tin. It took Liu Xu about 40 minutes to reach the water plant in Sha Tin District.

After telling the three Langzai to wait for him in the car, Liu Xu got out of the car and saw that Sun Dong, the acting director of the water plant, was waiting for him at the door with two entourages.

They were smiling, and when they saw Liu Xu getting off the car, Sun Dong quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and enthusiastically shook hands with Li Xu with his right hand, and greeted: "I guess you are Mr. Liu, the new boss of our water plant?"

Liu Xu nodded slightly, then shook the other party's outstretched hand and responded, "Yes, Director Sun. It's me."

The two sides shook hands in a friendly manner.

After hearing Liu Xu admit that he was indeed the new owner of the water plant, Sun Dong said in a flattering tone, "Oh, I've been waiting for you to come, Mr. Liu. Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Liu Xu smiled and responded: "Boss Sun, you are too polite. I am also eager to learn about the situation of our water plant."

Upon hearing this, Sun Dong immediately opened up and introduced the water plant in a torrent of words: "Our water plant is located near Dugou Mountain, with an area of ​​5,000 square meters. It mainly provides drinking water for Tai Po District, parts of Shatin, and several villages in the New Territories."

“The raw water is taken from a number of different sources, including the Dongjiang River in Guangdong Province, the Plover Cove Raw Water Reservoir, the Dugoushan catchment area, etc., and the water purification process of the water plant covers a number of delicate steps.”

"We first add specific chemicals to remove algae in the water. Then we adjust the pH value to an appropriate range and perform coagulation treatment to further purify the water."

"At the same time, we will specifically eliminate the odor and color in the water to ensure that the water quality is clear and transparent. Of course, in order to cope with the lack of water resources in Hong Kong Island, we also partially supplement the water supply through seawater desalination projects."

"In addition, the water plant has also actively adopted the water recycling technology to separate the solid and liquid of wastewater, aiming to further improve the water quality and realize the recycling of resources. This technology is not only beneficial to the environment, but also greatly improves our water treatment efficiency."

While explaining in detail, he took Liu Xu to visit each workshop one by one, and explained in detail the function and principle of each link. Liu Xu listened very carefully and asked some questions from time to time, and Sun Dong answered them one by one.

Finally, they came to the water plant's control room, where they could see the operation of the entire water plant.

Standing in front of the data desk in the central control room, Sun Dong proudly said: "This is our central control room. It can monitor the data of every link. If there is any abnormality, it will automatically alarm and notify the staff to deal with it in time."

Liu Xu looked at the data on the screen, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Sun Dong: "Boss Sun, you have done a very good job. However, I think there are still some areas that need improvement."

"For example, I've seen some equipment that is a bit old. In order to maintain production efficiency and water quality, these equipment need to be updated. In addition, there is room for your salary to increase."

He smiled and added: "After all, improving employee welfare is also one of the important factors in ensuring the long-term stable development of the water plant."

The two middle-aged men following behind Sun Dong were instantly excited when they heard that Liu Xu was going to give the employees a raise. Unable to suppress their excitement, they secretly tugged at the corner of Sun Dong's clothes from behind.

Sun Dong felt his clothes being pulled, glanced at the two people behind him, and signaled them to be quiet. He thought for a moment and then said, "Mr. Liu, you are right. Regarding the equipment update, I will arrange for someone to evaluate and replace it as soon as possible."

However, he was worried in his heart: "Young people really don't know how expensive food and daily necessities are. They want to upgrade equipment and increase wages right from the start."

"As for the salary and benefits of employees, I have actually been considering this issue as well." Sun Dong changed the subject, "But I don't have the final say on salary increases."

Hearing Sun Dong's words, Liu Xu laughed and said, "I'm here, starting from next month, the salary of the factory director and technical staff will be increased by 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, 9,000 Hong Kong dollars and 7,000 Hong Kong dollars per month respectively.

"For ordinary employees, the increase is 500 Hong Kong dollars, 4,000 Hong Kong dollars per month."

Liu Xu continued, "In addition, I have another idea. I want you to find a way to add a mineral water production line. I require you to produce at least 500,000 bottles of mineral water for me every month."

Hearing this number, Sun Dong hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed: "Boss Liu, the factory doesn't have much money in its account right now, adding a production line may not be enough."

Liu Xu smiled and said easily, "Don't worry about the funds. I will transfer one million Hong Kong dollars to the factory account in a few days. I hope you can show me that the production line can run smoothly before the end of next month."

Hearing that Liu Xu would solve the funding problem, Sun Dong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed: "Yes, I promise to complete the task."

Liu Xu patted Sun Dong on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Do a good job, Sun Dong. As long as you can complete the tasks I assign to you on time, you can ask me for help if you encounter any trouble with any community on Hong Kong Island Road in the future."

He paused, his eyes suddenly turned serious, and he glanced at the two people behind Sun Dong. He said sinisterly: "However, if I find out that you have embezzled the funds from the sewage treatment plant, I will send you to dance with the sea fish!"

After saying these words, Liu Xu suddenly laughed and continued, "Don't be nervous, I will do what I say."

Liu Xu actually didn't intend to say the last sentence. It was just that the other party's initial flattery and some small actions of the middle people made Liu Xu feel that this Director Sun was not as pure as the previous Director Qian, and had a lot of small thoughts, so he decided to warn him.

Another reason is that no one in this water plant, whether employees, managers or even the director, has ever been laid off. After all, those who have never lost something don’t know how to cherish it.

Of course, if the other party ignores his words and doesn't care at all, then Liu Xu can only say: "Sea fishing is meant for you!"

This water plant has a fixed water supply area and ready-made water purification technology and equipment, so there is no problem finding someone to take over. It's just that the target is too big, so Boss Lin has been slow to deal with this water plant.

However, after meeting Liu Xu and realizing that the person watching him was not just a senior police superintendent, he no longer had time to deal with this factory.

The sale of his other assets was not secretive enough. As long as he dealt with this water plant, not only would he not get the money, but he would also instantly expose the fact that he was about to run away with the money.

In the end, it was a good deal for Liu Xu, as he not only got a brewery for free, but also a profitable water plant.

After explaining, he said goodbye to Sun Dong, who looked a little panicked, and continued to take his Polonaise car to the Brilliant Boxing Gym in Yau Ma Tei. Oh, no, it has now been renamed Dongsheng Boxing Gym!

When Liu Xu rushed to Dongsheng Boxing Gym, Li Hangluo had already led people to clean up the gym.

This boxing gym is located in a corner of a bustling city. It is divided into three floors, each floor has an area of ​​more than 500 square meters, and the total area is more than 1,600 square meters. Its appearance looks ordinary, but in fact, the internal structure is complex and the facilities are complete.

And each layer has its unique function.
