Ch. 40 Shau Kei Wan Industrial Zone


In 1920, several small industries began to appear in Shau Kei Wan, after a few years later the industrial area in Shau Kei Wan began to develop to a certain scale today.


In the industrial area of Shau Kei Wan is also a gathering place for light industries.


Wu Guangyao also chose this place for her garment industry location? the reason is because starting next year, there will be many refugees who will come to this region.


So there will be so much cheap labor that he will be able to use to become an employee of the garment industry and his zipper.


Currently Wu Guangyao came to Shau Kei Wan and he planned to rent a factory there to establish a garment company and also a zipper company.


According to the plan made by Wu Guangyao, the garment company and zipper company will be made separately.


**


The first industry to develop on Hong Kong Island was the textile industry, but because of his father-in-law's future mah entered this industry on the island of Hong Kong, so he now did not concentrate on entering the garment-wearing industry alone.


Because according to historical data, there should currently only be one or two garment factories on Hong Kong Island. In 1950 it will only start to increase up to 40 garment factories on the island of Hong Kong. Therefore Wu Guangyao planned to enter this industry early, in order for him to develop early as well.


“Tuan Wu, let's go directly to the local government only so we can save time to find a factory here.” Sun Wei was an employee of Lao Fengxiang. Because he saw that his employees were capable enough to help him set up two companies here.


"Alright, let's go over there to ask about the factory situation here."


The person in charge of the Shau Kei Wan area was a stranger named Smith.


Smith heard that Wu Guangyao was coming to his place to rent a factory. Hearing that someone was about to rent a factory in his place made him very happy. Because after the onset of World War II, the territories on Hong Kong Island are currently waiting to be developed. So now is a good thing because there is someone who wants to invest here.


Smith smiled and said, "What industry is Mr Wu trying to open here? and also about how much mister Wu invested, I can help Mr. Wu find a suitable factory here."


Wu Guangyao looked at Smith's expression. Although Smith was very happy, he somewhat insulted her.


Maybe because he was young and also felt that he would only invest in a small factory.


"Mr Smith, I plan to invest in the garment industry and the zipper industry.and I also plan to make mechanical production, so I will need a larger factory. For the scale of his investment, probably more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars." Wu Guangyao said confidently, he was willing to see how this man reacted.


“What? Is Mr Wu joking?” Smith suddenly stood up from his office chair, with an expression of disbelief on his face.


"Mr Smith, let me introduce myself again. I am the owner of Lao Fengxiang Jewelry Store on Hong Kong Island. My financial strength is unquestionable as everyone probably already knows. "Wu Guangyao saw that this man did not give any clues, this was not good for her


"Oh, It turns out that Mr. Wu is the boss of Lao Fengxiang, please forgive me for my impoliteness. After all, Master Wu is still very young, if not for Master Wu being his boss Lao Fengxiang, it would be difficult for people to trust him Master for having strength at this young age."


Smith directly arranged for two of his staff to be guides for Wu Guangyao, they went to the reserve factory for inspection.


The factories in this Shau Kei Wan industrial zone were very simple, This made Wu Guangyao slightly insult this factory, as it was not as good as the small factories that existed in the future.


The factory here was nothing to match Wu Guangyao's taste, as it was very small in size. Wu Guangyao plans to use modern machinery to produce goods.


"Hm, the former dead are there, but it doesn't matter to me as long as there will be many people working there, then we can suppress his Yin Qi. I'm pretty good at this, so that's a small thing. Can you take me there to look around first." Wu Guangyao was surprised to hear that, but she quickly calmed down again.


As for the matter of his many dead people in that place, Wu Guangyao said with disdain, how many people have died during the Second World War happened, should he be afraid of it.


Because he had not believed in such things since he was young.


The staff looked at Wu Guangyao's expression that felt no fear at all, he reluctantly led them to a rather remote place in Shau Kei Wan.


There was a long-standing five-story building, and there was plenty of open space around it. This place should have been a big factory before.


"Master Wu, this is a former machine factory that was previously opened by foreigners. During its peak period, there were 800 workers who worked very busy here. During World War II, two artillery shells were thrown here, because it's possible that this foundation was a bit problematic."


"During World War II, the factory was also a concentration camp for Eastern Army prisoners, so many people have died here."


"Each factory floor has an area of more than 5,000 square feet, so this factory is enough to accommodate 150 workers."


Wu Guangyao carefully inspected every corner of the factory building, she was overjoyed in her heart. Because if he renovates a little bit, this factory might be able to last the next 5 to 10 years.


"How much is the rental price for this factory?" Wu Guangyao said calmly, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.


"This needs to be discussed first with Mr. Smith, therefore Mr. Wu can bargain with Mr. Smith, Mr. Wu just say the factory that Mr. Wu will rent is a former concentration camp before, he said, and many people died in this place. This factory also no one ever rented it again after the war was over." The staff said kindly.


Wu Guangyao quickly thanked the 2 staffers and also handed them two red envelopes. After all, the information he had obtained could save him a lot of money, so it was natural to provide them with some benefits.


This is what is called the worldliness of mankind. Many people do not understand the truth all their lives, and they do not understand it until they are old. Unfortunately, it's too late!


Moreover, after the establishment of the factory, there were still many things to be resolved with the government, both of them were definitely a good help!


The two of them slightly refused the gift from Wu Guangyao, but the end was moved due to Wu Guangyao's strong determination, then they received the two large red envelopes.


"Master Wu, although we are both only a small staff, but we know quite a lot about this area. If Master Wu has something to settle in the future, Master can tell us, we will definitely help Master Wu. "The staff saw hundreds of Hong Kong dollars in the envelope and said enthusiastically.


"Thank you to both of you, I will trouble you both in the future, so I will go first to discuss with Smith."


In Smith's office, Wu Guangyao started talking about what he heard from the two staff earlier.


"There was a war going on at the factory that I was going to rent, and I also heard from people around here saying that it was a concentration camp before.


From the rent of 12,000 Hong Kong dollars per year, bid to 9,000 Hong Kong dollars, it saved quite a lot of money for Wu Guangyao.


After the factory was rented, Wu Guangyo immediately renovated it and handed over the decoration parts to Yaocheng Decoration Company.
