Xia Harry paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "If Mr. Song knew that he spent a high price to buy a batch of goods, but couldn't get anything out of you, he probably wouldn't be in a good mood. How could he possibly continue to cooperate with me? One factory versus ten factories, of course I choose to cooperate happily with you all."
"It's a pleasure doing business with you." Tang Wenbao smiled smugly.
Xia Harry smiled broadly, "It's a pleasure working with you."
The ten wig factories earned over two million HKD in the first month, averaging over two hundred thousand HKD per factory. Factories like Tang Jingyuan, Huang Siqun, and Luo Jiabao, which had four sets of equipment, earned over three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, while small workshops with only two sets of equipment earned over one hundred thousand HKD.
Even in the first month of production, when raw material losses are high, the profit margin can still reach 50% to 60% after deducting costs such as water, electricity, rent, and labor. In Hong Kong today, such an exaggerated profit margin is even more lucrative than smuggling contraband. These ten factories have also made many wealthy people in Hong Kong realize that it is so easy to make money from United States.
Driven by high profits, orders for wig production equipment poured in like snowflakes at the Hong Kong office of Hampden Machine Trading Company of the United States. in the Bivero Building. In just the first week after the ten factories received their payments, a total of 196 sets of equipment were already signed for purchase. Some machines were even scheduled to be shipped next year. Even though the Foreign Devil employees of Hampden Machine Trading Company of the United States. required these people to pay the full amount in advance, no one hesitated at all.
Outside the Hong Kong office of Hampden Machinery Trading Company, someone was even offering a high price to transfer a batch of wig machinery and equipment that would arrive in Hong Kong as soon as possible, with each set being offered an additional Hong Kong dollars 20,000.
It wasn't just the machines; even the consumable needles from United States Nelson Machine Equipment Repair Service Company next door, which specializes in supplying wig factories, were being bought and stockpiled by many Hong Kong aspiring to make money in the wig industry.
From the initial hair-spreading machine to the final styling oven, this complete set of wig equipment costs US US dollars 2,100 at the factory in the United States. Hampden Machine Trading Company of the United States quoted Hong Kong dollars 93,000 in Hong Kong, which is equivalent to adding US$1,000 to the price of each set of equipment. The order of nearly 200 sets of equipment in just one week is equivalent to a profit of nearly US dollars 200,000, which is equivalent to more than Hong Kong dollars 6 million.
"All ten factories have now obtained Thailand raw materials from the India and continued production. Kimei International Trading Company brought back two quarters' worth of follow-up orders worth US dollars 800,000 from the United States. After deducting the supply just completed in January, there is still US dollars 250,000 in the previous order, which means the ten factories currently have US dollars 1.05 million in orders, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars 31.2 million. Add to that your Hampden Machinery Company's Hong Kong dollars 6 million profit and Nelson Company's consumable sales, and the figures on the books are now barely acceptable. I think the pig has been fattened enough, and it's time to cut it." Song Tianyao sat motionless at his desk, a mirror in front of him. Fu Xinniang was wrapping a towel around Song Tianyao 'Song Tianyao neck and carefully shaving his stubble with a razor. Shu Yan held the telephone receiver for Song Tianyao to speak with Angie Perlis, who was in the United States.
Angie Perlis seemed to be still considering it on the other end of the phone. "Actually, I think maintaining the current situation..."
"Does thirty or forty million Hong Kong dollars sound like a lot to you? Or did my tone just now make you think I was satisfied? A little over a million US dollars is too little. Even if you got it all, it would only be enough to barely make enough capital to earn the next sum of money, and that would only be in a small place like Hong Kong." After Fu Xinniang finished shaving him and took the towel away, Song Tianyao touched his chin and took the phone from Shu Yan, speaking calmly.
"I don't sense your satisfaction, but I feel you might be quite arrogant now, Song Tianyao." Although Angie Perlis's tone was arrogant as she accused Song Tianyao over the phone, there was a hint of amusement in her voice.
Song Tianyao let out a soft breath. "Be a good girl and wait for me to bring you back from United States. I'm about to make my move."
After saying that, Song Tianyao hung up the phone with Angie Perlis.
They started by cutting down the India.
Chapter 291 Slaughtering Them Within Three Moves
Several fully armed Medical and Health Department members, wearing white coats and gas masks, and even accompanied by four or five workers carrying disinfectant sprayers, visited the warehouse rented by the India Shah brothers at the dock to store hair in full view of the public.
When Xia Harry rushed over after receiving the message from the workers, he saw the Medical and Health Department directing workers to gather together some Braids that had been returned by the factory because they were not the correct length. They were preparing to carefully sort them out and take them away. Two workers were spraying disinfectant in the warehouse, and the pungent smell made Xia Harry cover his mouth and nose with his hands.
Another worker was even applying glue to the seal issued by the Medical and Health Department, suggesting that it wasn't just about taking away the two or three hundred scrap Braids, but also about sealing off the entire warehouse.
"I'm Xia Harry, the owner here. I'm the boss. What happened, sir?" Xia Harry pushed past the other onlookers outside the warehouse and walked up to the Medical and Health Department official who was directing the workers, asking in confusion.
The Medical and Health Department official first walked out of the warehouse, took off his mask, took a quarantine report from the pocket of his white coat, and then slapped the report into Xia Harry's hand:
"Mr. Xia, the Medical and Health Department has inspected the latest batch of hair materials you provided to Long Light Wig Factory, which were temporarily sealed in the Customs warehouse. They found pathogens of infectious diseases such as diphtheria, cholera, and malaria in this batch of hair. This is a copy of the quarantine report. The hair materials have now been transferred by the Medical and Health Department to the Customs Department for destruction. We have arranged for workers to thoroughly disinfect and clean the warehouse where that batch of hair was previously stored, and to seal it off."
Xia Harry felt his head buzz as soon as the other person finished speaking!
