Li Ping was afraid that his laughter would be heard by others, so he followed Li Chen's example and buried his head in the quilt.
Seeing this, Xu Xiangqian's eyes lit up. He thought this was a good idea and he would tell his wife and children when he got home.
Li Xu handed the bag to Li Chen and asked him to find the chef to heat up the food inside.
After Li Ping calmed down and Li Chen came back, Li Xu opened the suitcase and took out the clothes one by one, revealing more than ten stacks of banknotes at the bottom.
Although the Guangzhou-Kowloon Through Train has a regulation that requires advance notification of cash and valuables, in reality this regulation is just for show.
That is to say, even if you don’t report it, no one will search your bag.
Of course, if you are from mainland China, it is best to be honest...
Li Xu used Xu Xiangqian's identity and brought the money without reporting it.
The total amount of these banknotes was 1.39 million, of which 700,000 were the small change earned from Cheung Kong stocks. Li Xu originally planned to use this money to cooperate with Xu Xiangqian to set up a factory, but he did not expect that the money he earned from Hutchison Whampoa this time would also be hundreds of thousands more.
Li Xu thought about it and decided to bring them all back, minus the money needed to set up the factory, and take the rest back to Tang County during the New Year to distribute to his family as specialties.
There was no other way. There were more than 20 people in the Li family. If they took other things back, Li Xu and the other two would probably be exhausted to death.
Li Xu took out five stacks of banknotes and handed them to Xu Xiangqian. "Old Xu, this is 490,000 yuan. Use it to start a shoe factory."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangqian waved his hands and said, "I'll pay for the shoe factory. I've already thought about it. You own 51% of the shares, and the rest is mine."
In just over a month, Li Xu helped him earn more than 100 million yuan. He himself felt it was inappropriate if he still accepted these hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Now he is no longer satisfied with just building a factory and making money.
The shoe factory was just a tool to maintain his relationship with Li Xu.
For him, the most important thing at the moment is to please Li Xu so that he can take him with him when there is an opportunity to make money in the future.
Building a shoe factory would cost at most one million yuan, so Li Xu didn't care how much shares he owned in such a factory.
However, Xu Xiangqian's words made him very happy.
"We agreed to start a factory together. It's not appropriate for you to pay for it. Just take the money."
"I think it's appropriate."
The two argued for a long time, and no matter what Li Xu said, Xu Xiangqian refused to accept it.
There was no way, Li Xu had to give up the idea.
After chatting for a while, Xu Xiangqian returned to his room.
Li Xu took out 20,000 yuan and handed it to Li Ping and the other two. "10,000 yuan each. Buy whatever you want. If it's not enough, tell me. Don't be embarrassed."
Before, the three of them were reluctant to spend a penny except for accommodation and meals.
Now that I have so much money, there is naturally no need to continue saving.
Here, you can buy things with Hong Kong dollars without a ticket.
Li Ping and the other man looked at each other, and without refusing, they took the money happily.
Li Ping then hesitated and said, "Xiao Xu, the factory is almost finished. When do you plan to recruit workers?"
"The day after tomorrow. I have to go find Qian Jin with Old Xu tomorrow."
"Okay." Li Ping nodded, then asked another question, "Xiao Xu, now that we have money, do we need to expand the factory?"
The factory under construction is indeed small and will only employ a few dozen people at most.
There was no other way. I had no money at the time, so I could only make do with what I had.
Li Xu thought about it for a moment and replied, "Expand, expand to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars."
Military-to-civilian conversion is about to begin, and many fan factories will appear at that time.
However, those are public institutions, and they have to set high prices for the fans they produce, otherwise their profits will not be enough to cover their expenses.
Li Xu runs a private factory, so he doesn't have that much overhead and can set the price lower.
The same product, one is expensive and the other is cheap, which one do you think people will buy?
So Li Xu expanded the factory, which was a sure profit.
Just can't expand too much.
As more and more private fan factories emerge, the price of fans will become lower and lower. Although you can still make money, it will be too hard to earn that money.
Li Xu felt that there would be more profitable businesses by then and there would be no need to earn that hard-earned money.
Therefore, he thought it would be better to double the size of the factory.
Hearing this number, Li Ping knew that he must have considered it, so he responded and said nothing more.
That night, Li Ping couldn't sleep.
He was not the only one suffering from insomnia, but also Xu Xiangqian's wife and children.
Early in the morning, Xu Xiangqian's wife, with red eyes, took her children out to buy vegetables.
She wanted to cook for herself and treat the three Li Xu brothers to a meal.
Li Xu and Xu Xiangqian came to Qian Jin's office. Qian Jin was very enthusiastic towards them and even poured water for them himself.
The two did not disappoint him. Xu Xiangqian put out 900,000 to build a shoe factory, and Li Xu put out 300,000 to expand the fan factory.
Qian Jin was so happy that his back teeth were exposed, and he offered a series of preferential policies, including free land.
The shoe factory covers two acres, and the fan factory covers one acre.
Li Xu and the others naturally wouldn't think it was too little since it was something free, and they thanked Qian Jin repeatedly.
In fact, their investment is not enough to get so much free land.
Qian Jin did this in the hope that Xu Xiangqian would continue to invest.
In his eyes, Xu Xiangqian was extremely rich.
He spent more than 100,000 yuan to build a fan factory and gave it to Li Xu. Now he has added another 300,000 yuan and also gave away most of the shares of the shoe factory.
All added up, it’s almost one million in RMB.
If he can give so much away, he must have more on hand.
When meeting such a rich man, Qian Jin would of course try to curry favor with him.
Xu Xiangqian knew that he and Li Xu would often travel to Hong Kong in the future, and would inevitably trouble Qian Jin to help issue a pass. So he dangled a carrot in front of him, saying that if possible, he would build a big hotel here with an investment of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
