An Jingzhi earned enough initial capital, but he still needed a lot of equipment to open a factory. It was troublesome to buy them in the mainland, so he might as well buy them all here.
"Let's not leave yet. I'm just packing some things. We've bought a lot these past few days, so don't forget to take them when we leave. You should also put away everything you have. Even though we won't be leaving for a few days, we can go back in two weeks at most."
"Great! I've had enough of this awful place. Everyone here looks down on me. What's so arrogant about it? It's only the size of a palm. It's not even as big as a city here!"
Fortunately, there was a videotape for them to watch, otherwise these people would not want to go out and would suffocate themselves to death.
An Jingzhi adapted to the local customs and came here for the convenience of communication. He usually spoke Cantonese. He had not experienced being looked down upon, but he knew that Hong Kong Island discriminated against mainlanders in the 1980s.
"Okay, we'll go back after a few days." An Jingzhi comforted.
He sat on the sofa in the living room and said to Huang Guang, "Do you remember the person I asked to help us get our ID cards?"
"I remember." How could he not remember? He had been paying attention to An Jingzhi's words and actions since he arrived here. He knew that Lu Lian and the others were not as clever as him. Only Wan Xinming was okay, but Wan Xinxing was a little weak and not ruthless enough.
He thought about it for a long time, and actually almost guessed why An Jingzhi was willing to take him with him. It was because he thought he was ruthless and smart enough to do things that Lu Lian and others could not do.
Lu Lian and the others are An Jingzhi's brothers since childhood, but he is an outsider and he knows very well where his position is. So although he consciously builds relationships with Lu Lian and the others, he also does not forget to pay attention to An Jingzhi.
It is just so that he can use his strength when the other party needs him.
"Just remember it. Go find him tomorrow and ask him to help us find any food processing factories that are about to close down and have machines for sale."
"good."
Huang Guang went to look for someone alone the next day. An Jingzhi was not idle either. He took Lu Lian and others to a service company. To open a company, he still had to find a professional to help him with the procedures. He planned to register a shell company so that he could open a factory in the form of investment when he returned. This would not only reduce some troubles, but also get a certain degree of preferential treatment.
"Okay, Mr. An, we have understood your requirements. Please come here to sign the contract, but you need to pay a 30% advance payment." The person at the front desk received them warmly. After asking about An Jingzhi's requirements, they quickly finalized a series of terms. The other party helped him with a series of procedures and guaranteed that it would be completed within a week, and the full payment would be HK$30,000.
Originally, we didn't need so much, but An Jingzhi wanted expedited service and it would be completed in a week.
After paying the advance payment of 9,000, An Jingzhi took Lu Lian and others back to the hotel, and saw Huang Guang and that person waiting for him inside the hotel.
"Hey, hello, Mr. An. I heard from Mr. Huang that you wanted to introduce me to another business. I just happened to hear that a food factory was going bankrupt, so I thought I could take you there to have a look. They just asked me to help them find a buyer. What a coincidence, isn't it?"
Huang Guang said: "Boss, Xiao Li and I just checked it out, it's OK."
"Mr. An, haven't you eaten yet? Come on, let me treat you to some afternoon tea and then we can go see it."
"No need, Xiao Li, just go and see it directly." An Jingzhi wanted to finish the work quickly and go back to the factory to confirm it.
"Okay, okay, Mr. An, let's go now?" Xiao Li has many connections and sources of information, and there are many people like them in Hong Kong Island.
Xiao Li has been in this business for several years and has a sharp eye. An Jingzhi is generous and in his eyes is a high-quality customer, so he thought of treating these people to afternoon tea to increase the connection between the two parties and facilitate a smooth transaction.
Lu Lian actually enjoyed talking to him. Xiao Li was also from Hong Kong Island, but not only did he not look down on them, the mainlanders, but he even tried his best to communicate with them in his broken Hong Kong Cantonese. They all had a very good impression of him.
It took half an hour by taxi to reach the factory that Xiao Li mentioned was going to go bankrupt.
When the few people arrived, there were already people waiting in front of the factory. Xiao Li took the lead and stepped forward to give a brief introduction to both parties, and then the boss of the factory took them on a tour.
This is a canning factory.
An Jingzhi could vaguely see a lot of canned food piled up in the corner.
He calmly checked the condition of the machines, which looked to be about 70% to 80% new.
"Boss Zhang, I wonder why your cannery can no longer operate? I must have thought of finding out clearly before buying these machines, otherwise I would not feel at ease buying them." An Jingzhi asked.
The boss was about forty or fifty years old. He looked worried, his hair was a little messy, and his suit was even wrinkled.
"I know, Mr. An. There's nothing wrong with my cannery. It's just that I have an unfilial son. He went gambling and got detained. I only have him, so I had to sell everything in the factory to raise money to redeem him. These machines are all in good condition and can be used as soon as they're brought back. Mr. An, you can rest assured."
Boss Zhang didn't want to talk about his situation, but he was afraid that if he didn't explain it clearly, people would be unwilling to buy it. Besides, even if he didn't say it, Xiao Li would probably tell him.
An Jingzhi asked a few more questions to confirm that there was no problem with the cannery, and then asked Boss Zhang to start all the machines and test them again.
The machine runs very smoothly and if it is well maintained it should last for many years.
After An Jingzhi tried it out, he didn't say whether he was willing or not. Boss Zhang looked a little anxious and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. An, what do you think? There's nothing wrong with my machines. If you think the price is too high, we can talk about it!"
Xiao Li secretly introduced him to Boss Zhang, saying that he was a rich and generous man.
Boss Zhang's factory has been closed for half a month. His competitors are his enemies. Many people know his situation and want to take advantage of him, constantly lowering the price. Finally, he met someone from the mainland. Boss Zhang thought that if he missed it again, he would probably have to grit his teeth and sell his products at a low price.
"Boss Zhang, your machines are all pretty good, and the prices are fair, but I need to ship them to mainland China, so you'll be responsible for the shipping costs."
Boss Zhang was a little reluctant to ship to Heilongjiang Province in one day, as it was shipping from the southernmost part to the northernmost part. The freight was not a small amount.
"What do you think, Boss Zhang? If you are willing to help me transport the things over, we can hand them over now." An Jingzhi said.
Boss Zhang thought about it and said that if he sold all these things to the other party, he could get back 800,000 yuan, and at most he would have to spend tens of thousands of yuan on shipping. It was better than letting others rip him off for hundreds of thousands of yuan!
Boss Zhang agreed.
