"It's actually very simple. I just told Dad that I'd buy you a luxury villa so you can live comfortably. And, after a while, I'm also planning to give you an industrial building, just for you to collect rent. That way, our family's life will definitely get better and better! My father-in-law was overjoyed when he heard that, and now he doesn't have the heart to make things difficult for me at all!"
Huang Zhirou's eyes widened, her mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg, and she seemed frozen in place, stunned for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
She simply couldn't believe that her beloved father could be so realistic!
He betrayed his own daughter without hesitation simply because the other party gave him a building.
It's important to understand that nowadays, ordinary people in society work hard every month and only earn two or three hundred Hong Kong dollars.
Even if you work from age 20 to 60, a full 40 years of service, you can only earn a mere 12 yuan in wages at most.
As for Huang Zhirou herself, although she is a senior manager, her monthly salary is only about four times that of an ordinary worker, which is around 1000 yuan.
Based on this calculation, even if she works herself to the bone her whole life, she could only earn a salary of less than 50 yuan at most.
Then look at that villa; its value has already reached a staggering 20.
Not to mention that the price of any industrial building on the market has now soared to around a million.
Even if Huang Zhirou worked her whole life without eating, drinking, or sleeping, she probably wouldn't be able to accumulate such a huge fortune!
Moreover, if an industrial building is rented out, the cost can be recovered in just 10 years, and the resulting revenue will continue to increase.
Recalling her past relationship with He Yuzhu, Huang Zhirou couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness and resentment.
Originally, according to her own ideas, she never thought of becoming someone else's concubine.
But now that things have come to this, faced with such a huge temptation of profit and her father's decision, what choice should she make?
However, what's done is done, and no matter how unwilling and helpless one feels, one can only grit one's teeth and follow He Yuzhu all the way to the end.
Hearing He Yuzhu's generosity, the slight displeasure she had felt gradually dissipated, like morning mist.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly with a hint of shyness:
"Actually, buying a house for us to live in is enough. As for that industrial building, let's just forget about it."
It's worth noting that in Hong Kong today, having multiple wives and concubines is not uncommon.
Men with slightly higher incomes, even if their houses are only a few hundred square feet in size, often take a concubine into their homes.
And those men who are truly capable, aren't they all surrounded by wives and concubines?
Take the renowned Fok Ying-tung for example. He married three wives and occasionally went out to have affairs and indulge in sensual pleasures.
Since He Yuzhu has clearly stated that he is willing to buy me a luxury villa to live in, I really shouldn't be too greedy anymore.
After all, that industrial building is worth millions, and such a generous gift is far too valuable to accept under any circumstances.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly and jokingly said:
"Alright then, when you can give me a big, healthy son, I'll hand this building over directly to our son, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhirou's cheeks instantly flushed as red as ripe apples, and she said coquettishly:
"Hmph, I would never have your child! Especially not a son!"
As he spoke, he turned his head away and stopped looking at He Yuzhu.
However, He Yuzhu disregarded everything and stepped forward, pulling Huang Zhirou tightly into his arms. With a smile, he whispered:
"It's good if we don't have sons. How about we have more well-behaved and adorable daughters?"
Huang Zhirou was startled by He Yuzhu's sudden action. She struggled to break free from He Yuzhu's embrace, but He Yuzhu was too strong and she was unable to succeed.
Finally, Huang Zhirou gave up resisting and said angrily:
"No! Not a single one!"
After saying that, she took advantage of the moment when He Yuzhu was slightly off guard and suddenly broke free from his embrace.
Like a startled little rabbit, Huang Zhirou rushed to the bathroom without looking back and quickly washed up.
Too shy to eat breakfast, she grabbed He Yuzhu's hand and hurriedly walked out.
The two walked side by side on the street, the morning sun shining on them and illuminating Huang Zhirou's still flushed face.
As they walked, they came to a teahouse and sat down to enjoy a delicious morning tea.
After breakfast, the two went to the company together.
After returning to his office, He Yuzhu rested briefly before heading to the watch workshop.
At that time, radio production was still relatively low, so He Yuzhu began to think about how to increase watch production.
It's important to know that the machinery used to produce watches and radios is completely different.
The most crucial part of watchmaking lies in the tiny, precise gear components, which can only be manufactured using specialized lathes.
Ordinary lathes, due to their structural and precision limitations, are simply unable to meet the needs of producing such tiny parts.
Therefore, He Yuzhu urgently needed a batch of specially made small lathes.
Fortunately, he had already obtained a complete set of design drawings from the top leader. Now, as long as he follows the drawings, he can build a lathe that meets the requirements.
So He Yuzhu led the workers to work day and night, putting in extra hours to produce the small lathe.
Most of the lathes have been produced, and a batch of parts have been rushed out, but some are still missing, so assembly and production cannot begin yet.
After inspecting the area, He Yuzhu went to the raw material warehouse, arranged for workers to load a truckload of raw materials, and then drove it out directly.
After going around in circles, I stored the raw materials from the car into my storage space, and then returned to the company.
Sitting on the leather sofa, with my eyes closed, I immerse myself in the space and begin the process.
He Yuzhu had already registered an Aegean brand watch and made a sample, and now he is using the sample to make the watch.
It uses the same movement as the Shanghai brand watches, only the brand has been changed to Aegean.
The cost of a watch from Shanghai is around 24 yuan in China. Huang Zhirou had previously calculated that due to the difference in raw material and labor costs between the two places, the production cost in Hong Kong would increase to 35 yuan.
Currently, watches from Hong Kong are priced at over one hundred yuan, and the profit margin is still quite large.
The main reason is that watches are very precise products, and ordinary factories simply cannot produce them. Of course, there are no dedicated watch factories in Hong Kong.
By noon, He Yuzhu had produced 5 watches and used up all the raw materials stored in the space.
Therefore, the theoretical cost of this batch of goods is just the cost of the raw materials, spread out to each piece, with each piece worth only one or two dollars.
If calculated based on cost savings, He Yuzhu saved 165 million yuan in production costs by producing 5 watches in just over two hours in the morning.
Suddenly he was taken aback. If he calculated that he could save 730 million yuan in costs in a year by utilizing the space, based on the production of 2 million yuan per day.
I was shocked when I calculated it; I was all alone and had such a huge output.
Chapter 509 Low Price
Moreover, the calculations mentioned above are merely an example of watch production.
What if we were to use products with higher added value for accounting purposes?
For example, if the production object is changed to a CNC lathe, it will not only not increase the burden on itself, but may even reduce the difficulty of the manufacturing process.
You know, the profit that each CNC lathe can bring is far greater than that of a watch! Thinking of this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel even happier.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
It turned out that Liao Lieying had come to inquire:
What are you planning to eat for lunch?
Upon hearing the voice, He Yuzhu smiled and waved to her, signaling her to come over.
Seeing this, Liao Lieying playfully scolded him in a low voice:
"Really annoying!"
But despite saying that, her body betrayed her and obediently walked over to He Yuzhu, then plopped down on his lap.
Immediately afterwards, the two began to whisper sweet nothings and flirt, displaying their deep affection.
After a while, they went to the small canteen hand in hand.
This small canteen is a frequent haunt of the company's senior executives, because the chefs here are all newly recruited apprentices of He Yuzhu.
Despite their young age, their culinary skills are remarkable. The dishes they make are delicious, visually appealing, and in no way inferior to those in high-end restaurants.
After lunch, He Yuzhu spent the entire afternoon going to the warehouse and taking out all 5 watches and putting them away properly.
Subsequently, he took the opportunity to purchase and store a batch of raw materials in his special space for future use.
After taking a quick look around the warehouse, He Yuzhu returned to his office, satisfied.
Immediately afterwards, he used the internal communication system to send a message to relevant personnel to attend the meeting.
Previously, the company had hired a general manager named Chen Jiacong to oversee all affairs.
As the business continued to expand, two more vice general managers were subsequently recruited: Wu Zhihao and Zheng Tianyu.
In this way, these three constitute the core of the company's senior leadership team. However, the company's senior management team consists of more than just these three.
Liao Lieying serves as the Chief Financial Officer, and currently, these are the only senior executives in the company.
Looking at Huang Zhirou, her position is He Yuzhu's assistant. Although she is not a senior executive in the strictest sense, she can be considered a semi-senior executive.
As for the Du sisters, both of them were six months pregnant, and out of concern, He Yuzhu did not assign them excessive workloads at the company. As for Du Guanghe, he did not hold any position within the company.
