This money.
Lin Yuanshan can produce it now.
Shili Cheng bought the factory with 3000 yuan and gave bonuses to Tie Tou and Bo Rong.
From Qiaoxin Bank, another 3000 was borrowed from the factory;
Afterwards, he took 5000 from Biandanwei's branch, distributed 2000 to stabilize the branch's morale, and the remaining 3000 plus the 3000 from the loan, totaled 6000.
He then gave Lin Yuanshan 500 to buy scrap metal. Lin Yuanshan currently has at least 5500 yuan on him.
However, the fact that Lin Yuanshan laid so much emotional groundwork with Xu Neng before Bo Rong arrived clearly shows that Mr. Lin's politeness was for a reason.
Pressing on Bo Rong's shoulder, Lin Yuanshan whispered in his ear, "Just tell me, isn't this German-made one more cost-effective than the British 15-ton one?"
"Mr. Lin, Dezao can make a whole plastic flower, large flower petals, flower base, and flower stem base in one go. The finished product is ready as soon as it comes out of the mold."
"No need for female workers to do secondary splicing, saving labor and time." Limping Rong glanced at Xu Neng, who was standing a few steps behind Lin Yuanshan, and replied softly, "That 15-ton imperial machine is similar in performance to the small beer machine in our factory."
It can only be used to make petals, thin branches and leaves, small stamens and small plastic ornaments.
But its advantage lies in its low price, and the machine is in excellent condition, about 7.5% new…
Before Bo Rong could finish speaking, Lin Yuanshan interrupted him: "No need to consider it anymore, we want that German-made KM250."
After saying that, Lin Yuanshan turned around, walked up to Xu Neng, knocked out a cigarette, and handed it to him.
Xu Neng took it, put it in his mouth and lit it: "Have you decided? Tell me, which one do you like? Or it would be better to buy them all together, the factory just happened to be clearing out this small warehouse."
"I want the German-made one, Uncle Xu, name your price." Lin Yuanshan, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, pointed to the KM250.
Xu Neng glanced at it and said, "If that's what you want, then it'll be 2500 yuan."
Lin Yuanshan nodded secretly upon hearing this. Limping Rong was indeed an expert; he had only touched the object once and the price he estimated was very close to the selling price.
"How about 2000 yuan?" Lin Yuanshan asked Xu Neng, offering a price slightly below market value.
Xu Neng immediately shook his head: "The lowest is 2300 yuan, A Yuan, don't make things difficult for me."
"Let's all compromise a little. Go ask around; you'll find no one can offer a lower price than me."
"Okay." Lin Yuanshan nodded in agreement, but his next sentence almost made Xu Neng think he was deaf: "However, Uncle Xu, I don't have that much money on hand right now."
How about this, you use your own savings to cover it for me first.
Once this batch of goods is finished and I receive payment from the factory, I'll return 2500 yuan to you. Consider the extra 200 yuan as an invitation to tea.
Xu Neng looked like he'd seen a ghost. He pointed at Lin Yuanshan and made a few "ah ah ah" sounds, too excited to speak.
Lin Yuanshan smiled like a fox: "Uncle Xu, calm down, calm down."
"A small business of two or three thousand? You've seen it all, no need to get so worked up."
"I...I...I'll pick..." Xu Neng clutched his chest, took several steps back, and leaned against the KM250, shouting, "No money? If you don't have money, why are you even looking at the beer machine?"
Even if someone tries to get something for nothing, at least they'll lend a hand.
"Hey, you bastard, you think you can make a living with just your mouth now?"
"No, I have an agreement in hand. Theoretically speaking, I used the recovery clause in the agreement as a repayment guarantee." Lin Yuanshan patted his chest: "Unless, the agreement we signed is fake."
Otherwise, why would Uncle Xu worry that I wouldn't be able to pay you back 2500 yuan after I finish the goods?
Upon hearing this, Xu Neng was instantly speechless. He suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
Lin Yuanshan, you idiot!
As the old saying goes, "If you have a little bit of color, you'll dare to open a dye shop!"
This bastard in front of me probably has no money, yet he dares to open a factory!
No wonder his mouth was so sweet today; it turns out the knife was waiting for him.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Neng gave Lin Yuanshan a thumbs up: "Great! You're really good!"
Okay, if I lend you 2300 yuan privately, you don't need to pay back 2500 yuan in the future.
"I only ask that if you ever get into trouble while doing business in Hong Kong, please don't tell anyone you know me."
"Wow, Uncle Xu, is it really necessary to be so heartless?" Lin Yuanshan laughed.
Xu Nengsheng was sullen and didn't want to talk. Instead, he called the finance and warehouse managers to draft a contract for the sale of the used machines.
The happiest person after buying the machine was Bo Rong.
Back when he worked at Hesheng, the machines he used were these mid-range beer machines.
Later, he was taken in by Lao Yu. That makeshift factory only had two black molds and no injection molding machine.
Now that he's working for Lin Yuanshan, he's eager to serve his new employer, but he's hampered by the existing hardware. Even a master craftsman has to use needle-nose pliers to cut the sprue on the samples he makes.
Now, with this imported machine, on the way back, Li Rong has already come up with a new production plan and is eager to get started.
Today, after Lin Yuanshan called him "Uncle Xu" a few times, Xu Neng paid 2300 yuan in advance.
The machine was to be transported from the Shek Kip Mei branch to Yuan Shan Plastics in the back alley of Tong Chau Street. Lin Yuan Shan wouldn't be so stingy as to take advantage of this cheap uncle even for transportation.
One phone call to Biandanwei, and immediately a truckload of laborers, including Hehongshun, arrived at the scene with ropes, wire, crowbars, and timber.
They carried the machine from the warehouse to the factory gate while chanting slogans.
Shen Da Hui also drove a 3-ton flatbed diesel truck, which is commonly known as a "big flatbed truck" by Hong Kong locals.
Here it needs to be explained that the 25-ton horizontal beer press that Lin Yuanshan bought is a German-made KraussMaffei KM250.
25 tons is a term used in the plastic injection molding machine industry, which means 25 tons of clamping force and 25 tons of non-machine weight.
The entire machine is 2.6 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, and 1.5 meters high, with a net weight of approximately 2.8 tons.
Therefore, Lin Yuanshan would tell Bo Rong that he had measured it with a ruler before he came over and that it was safe to put in the factory.
They borrowed a forklift from the warehouse to help lift the machine onto the flatbed truck.
Once they reached Tongzhou Street, they had to rent forklifts from nearby factories to unload the goods. As for carrying them into the back alley, they had to rely entirely on manpower to move them slowly.
In fact, in order to be able to put it into the factory, Lin Yuanshan even had everyone tear down half of a wall.
In the 60s, moving such a machine was no easy task. The cost, including transportation, renting a forklift, and meals for the laborers, was about 80 yuan.
Otherwise, even though Lin Yuanshan clearly had the money to give, he would have insisted on pressuring Uncle Xu to borrow money to support him.
Starting from scratch is no easy feat.
Spend money where you should, and save where you should. Don't be fooled by the fact that 5500 yuan seems like a lot.
Use a little here, spend a little there, and there's not much left.
Moreover, Lin Yuanshan has other plans for this money.
Leaving Limpy Rong to continue inspecting the machine details, Lin Yuanshan took Iron Head and Shen Da Hui outside.
Less than three days after Yuanshan Plastics opened, it was besieged by gangsters and had its shredder moved away.
Today I bought a huge machine, and even tore down half of the wall.
The frequent and loud noises attracted quite a few people to come and watch.
Lin Yuanshan gave Shen Dahui 100 yuan and told him to take the laborers who came to help him and Hong Shun to eat pig's feet rice and settle their wages at the same time.
He then opened a package of Lucky Coins and distributed it to the factory owners and workshop owners around him: "I bought a second-hand injection molding machine from Yellow River Plastics. When it was first brought in, it was quite noisy and disturbed everyone. I'm really sorry."
