Chapter 564 Investing in Shares
After finishing the construction of the factory and laboratory of "Fanshuo Technology", Zhou Rong rented a large warehouse in Pengcheng.
She kept a few of the cloth cutting machines, trimming machines, cutting machines, stretch sewing machines, hemming machines, ironing machines, etc. in the space, intending to take them back to Jiangcheng for Xu Man, and took out all the rest.
Zhou Rong called Tang Zhaoshan and said that he had a batch of equipment for a garment factory and asked him if any of his friends needed it.
The factory that Tang Zhaoshan bought from Zhou Rong was about to be delivered, and he was planning to purchase a batch of new equipment. After receiving Zhou Rong's call, he expressed his desire to see the condition of the equipment. If there was no problem, he would buy it.
When Tang Zhaoshan came to Pengcheng, Zhou Rong took him to the warehouse to check out the goods.
All the equipment had not been unpacked yet. Tang Zhaoshan brought two technical backbones to unpack and inspect the goods. They saw that all the equipment came from the United States and were the models he wanted to buy. He said he wanted them all and asked Zhou Rong how much he wanted to sell them for.
When Zhou Rong first acquired these equipments, it was in preparation for building a factory. She was worried that someone would question the price and origin of the equipment, so she took away the purchase list and receipt that Jin Biao had left in the factory.
This batch of equipment cost Jin Biao nearly 1000 million US dollars. Zhou Rong gave the list and receipt to Tang Zhaoshan and said, "My in-laws opened a clothing store in Jiangcheng. They make their own clothes. I left her some equipment, and the rest is here.
We are so close, how can I have the nerve to take money from Boss Tang? You decide how much to give."
Giving too much or too little would not be appropriate, so Tang Zhaoshan thought for a while and said, "If Boss Zhou doesn't mind, I will give you 25% of the shares of my clothing factory with these equipments. How about that?"
Zhou Rong agreed, and the two parties agreed to take some time to go to Hong Kong to ask a lawyer to act as a witness and sign a formal cooperation agreement.
After the cooperation agreement was finalized, Zhou Rong bought a batch of fashionable fabrics in Hong Kong and brought them back to Pengcheng. He then transported the fabrics and machines back to Jiangcheng by train so that Xu Man could quickly calculate the costs after getting the receipts and freight bills, and would not be suspicious of the origin of the products...
Before leaving Pengcheng, Zhou Rong asked Xu Hanhua to go to Qiongdao to buy more land, preferably an area of about 30-100 acres, and within the urban area.
The projects in Qiongdao and Pudong have not been pre-sold and currently occupy a lot of funds. The construction of "Fanshuo Technology" also requires a large investment. Coupled with the funds in the stock market, the cash flow of Xu Hanhua's companies is a bit tight.
He asked Zhou Rong if he could wait until the Qiongdao project was sold and some of the funds were recovered before buying the land.
Zhou Rong said: "I got the news that Qiongdao will soon be established as a province and Haikou will become the provincial capital."
After hearing this, Xu Hanhua immediately said, "I'll go buy the land right away!"
Zhou Rong: "Well, we can slow down the progress of the Pudong project and finish the Qiongdao project first, and try to sell it by the end of the year. As long as we have the land, we can get a bank loan."
Xu Hanhua: "Okay, I'll do it right away!"
After Xu Hanhua took his assistant to Qiongdao, Zhou Rong withdrew 200 million in cash from the bank and put it into the space to deal with the upcoming "crisis", and then returned to Jiangcheng with the freight train.
She found some clothing patterns on the Internet in advance, printed them out in color in Hong Kong, and gave them to Xu Man.
Xu Man looked at those bright and fashionable clothes and said happily: "Once these clothes are put up for sale, they will definitely be popular!
You worry about everything for me, but I feel guilty if I don't give you anything in return. I have decided to give you half of the profits from the clothing store and the fabric store. How about that?"
In recent years, no one has brought up the identity of capitalists. Wang Chengnan and Chen Zhan Ning also have positions, and no one dares to look down on Xu Man. She has completely taken back the clothing store and fabric store.
However, under the management of Zheng Shuqiao and others, the business of these two stores was very average, and sometimes they could not even maintain a balance between income and expenditure. Xu Man even used more than 500 yuan from her own savings to pay salaries.
She didn't want to spend money to support idle people, so she fired all those who just received salary but did not work.
Those who were fired were not convinced and went to the street office and district government to make a scene, saying that Xu Man was a capitalist who exploited them and fired them, and demanded that the government punish Xu Man.
In recent years, many companies have been in a downturn. They either withhold wages or use the method of suspending employees without pay to encourage people to start their own businesses.
If state-owned enterprises are like this, private enterprises are even less restrained. Economic benefits are the most important thing in everything, and employees who cannot generate income will simply be fired.
As long as private enterprises pay taxes normally and do not break the law, the government will not interfere in their operations.
After the street office and district government tried to appease the troublemakers, there was no further news.
Seeing that the government was so "lenient" to her, Xu Man felt relieved. After making some reforms to her two shops, business improved and she no longer had to pay wages out of her own pocket. However, it was still difficult for her to make a lot of money.
First, they couldn't buy good, fashionable fabrics, and second, the styles of the clothes were not good either. Many customers came and left after taking a look around.
Now that Zhou Rong has brought in new machines, new fabrics, and new styles, Xu Man has a feeling that her two shops will be able to regain their former glory...
Zhou Rong smiled and said, “If you give me half of the profits, these machines and fabrics will be considered as my shares.
Please find time to go to the Patent Office to register the copyright patent for the drawings I gave you. If anyone dares to copy our clothes, we will go to the Patent Office to sue them."
my country promulgated the Patent Law in 84 and it was officially implemented in April 85. However, people's awareness of intellectual property protection is still relatively weak, and few people register patents and copyrights, thus suffering losses in the business world.
Zhou Rong didn't want to give anyone a handle. She was the only one who made things difficult for others, and she would never give others a chance to make things difficult for her...
Xu Man didn't understand what copyright was, but after Zhou Rong explained it to her, she roughly understood it.
"Nowadays, if a shop launches a new style, it may be copied by others the next day. If the copyright is really useful, can I register the copyright for all the clothes in my shop?"
Zhou Rong: "Only unique works can apply for copyright. The clothes in our store have been sold for many years, and other stores have the same style. We have lost the opportunity and cannot register the copyright."
Xu Man: "I understand. I will go and find out tomorrow what application materials are required to register the copyright."
Zhou Rong: "Yes. Now fewer and fewer people buy cloth to make clothes, and the profit of cloth is not as good as that of finished clothes. You can connect the two shops, like a department store, remove the counters, hang the clothes on the racks, let everyone choose, and assign the clerk to look after the clothes.
We removed the windows on the exterior wall and replaced them with large floor-to-ceiling windows. We then asked someone to make some custom-made mannequins, and had them wear our new clothing and put them there to attract customers.
I will stay in Jiangcheng for a while before heading south. We can discuss how to use the machines we bought, the modification of the shop, and the training of employees. "
