Chapter 2163
When the old waves subside, new waves will rise.
When Tan Yali handed the check to Lou Xiao'e, she said irritably, "I owe you..."
Lou Xiao'e examined the check from all angles, then asked in surprise, "Mom, is your video game company really that profitable?"
"Hmph, I stole it, I robbed it, do you want it or not?" Tanya Li said this with considerable arrogance.
Regardless of whether a video game company makes money or not, its revenue is definitely high.
The hundreds of video game companies she partnered with Lai Hongchang now generate millions in revenue every day.
Of course, she let her subordinates take the lion's share of the profits.
After all, this is a grassroots industry; if you don't feed the people below you, you're doomed.
They might just start something new.
But if there's a lot of flow, that's the key.
Now, asking Tan Yali to withdraw tens of millions in a short period of time is like playing a game; she faces absolutely no pressure.
Besides, who doesn't have some secret savings?
She has been involved in the Hong Kong business for almost thirty years and was once the toy queen of Hong Kong.
Although the business is small and inconspicuous, it has two advantages: no bad debts and plenty of cash flow.
She has been keeping $20 million in an account at a fairly reputable Swiss bank for years.
This was the guarantee she left for He Xinghua and his sister.
Since the dawn of banking, UBS has cultivated a reputation worldwide for the absolute safety of its deposits.
At least for now, it remains a place trusted by Hong Kong's wealthy.
Lou Xiao'e played a big game for the Hong Kong news industry.
Actually, she originally planned to go a step further. She was thinking of withdrawing 50 million in cash and taking it to that private bank for a cash repayment.
But the commotion was just too great.
He's also a bit arrogant, which makes him easy prey for desperate criminals.
So, she simply invited the head of UBS in Hong Kong to give her a brief appearance.
This proves that Lou Xiao'e did indeed have this cash flow.
However, she didn't hold back with that slap.
A press conference was held directly in the plaza outside the private bank.
Holding the original loan agreement, the repayment schedule and the borrowing entity are all clearly stated.
The money was returned on the spot, and a lawyer from the law firm, acting as Lou Xiao'e's representative, immediately filed a lawsuit against the private bank.
Lou Xiao'e also publicly announced that she would never cooperate with such an untrustworthy bank again.
Of course, Lou Xiao'e also took the opportunity to answer a few questions from the media.
For example, regarding the payment issue with the supplier of that small-scale product, Lou Xiao'e directly produced an authoritative inspection report proving that the supplier's product quality was substandard and that they had violated regulations first...
This whole commotion...
Hong Kong media were in a frenzy.
The editors-in-chief all promised their reporters a bright future, urging them to follow up on the matter and make sure to get to the bottom of it.
The key is that readers are willing to pay for it.
Now it's the pawns who crossed the river's turn to suffer.
Putting everything else aside, that British bank, in order to salvage its reputation, immediately fired that "unprofessional" executive and said it would never hire him again.
People like this are naturally not going to be used by other banks.
A perfectly good high-income individual was effectively wiped out of the industry overnight.
The supplier for Xiao Rizi was initially defiant.
They've made false accusations, claiming that Lou Xiao'e's test report was non-compliant...
However, if Lou Xiao'e didn't even make this kind of preparation, then she shouldn't be in the business world at all.
A testing company called Americar endorsed Lou Xiao'e, confirming the authenticity of the test report.
The businesses owned by the HUO family and the Ho family in Macau also voiced their support for Lou Xiao'e.
Seeing that the commotion was getting out of hand,
The chairman of that company, Xiao Rizi, came out, bowed in apology, and resigned. That's how Xiao Rizi always operates.
Shameless and spineless—that's always been the label for a simple life.
These are minor issues.
To be honest, Lou Xiao'e still had several other methods she hadn't used yet.
For example, asking allies for help.
Those who were plotting against her in the shadows didn't expect that Lou Xiao'e's businesses were all well-established and had very few loopholes to exploit.
Ultimately, traditional business people in our country rarely use leverage.
Most people eat as much rice as their bowls can hold.
But it's not that we don't know how to play.
Fan Li's "Principles of Accumulation," and the "credit lending" practiced by salt and iron merchants during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han...
They are the ancestors of this kind of gameplay.
However, most business people are well aware that those who walk by the river often will inevitably get their shoes wet.
Our family has a detailed history, which can serve as a mirror for us. This is the biggest difference between us and the foreign devils.
By the time Lou Xiao'e finished dealing with everything, winter had already arrived in Beijing.
Of course, Hong Kong Island and the small southern towns don't have winter.
While farmers in the north are hibernating during the winter, this small southern town is still bustling with various construction and development projects.
Most of the factories invested in by the Ho Group have already started production.
After several months of training, the workers are not like those in other factories, where a master craftsman from Hong Kong leads a bunch of greenhorns.
There are various conflicts in communication.
These situations also exist in factories under the Ho Group, but they are really not many.
The initial training, along with the communication and heart-to-heart talks, played a very good role in the subsequent development.
At least those workers who came from the mainland knew that if they worked hard, they could bring home a lot of money at the end of the year, so they were all very motivated.
Traveling thousands of miles, isn't it all for money?
As long as the money is used effectively, other problems such as cultural incompatibility can be overcome.
For a time, their production efficiency was actually much higher than that of factories that recruited workers sporadically.
After inspecting the factories here, He Xinghua had a lot of ideas. He even wrote a long letter to He Yuzhu to discuss the differences between the employment models in the mainland and Hong Kong.
That's normal; these days, guilds are all about getting things done.
They care about any problems the workers have in their lives.
In the workplace, communication difficulties arise due to language barriers with superiors, and these individuals can act as a bridge in such situations.
Even if some workers slack off or try to cheat, the union will come out and criticize those people, saying that they have disgraced the mainland in the joint venture.
This greatly reduces management costs.
And from time to time, the guild would encourage everyone to work overtime for the collective to earn foreign exchange.
Of course, He Xinghua is not a heartless boss; he always pays overtime wages to those who work overtime.
There are definitely some problems here.
Comparatively speaking, He Yuzhu had his small, specialized factory open many branch factories there.
When you compare the workers on both sides, the income gap becomes apparent.
Those small, specialized factories still implement the mainland's eighth-grade worker salary standard.
Compared to the "more work, more pay" system implemented by Hong Kong-owned factories, where some ordinary workers can earn over two hundred a month through overtime, it's really incomparable.
So the problem fell to He Yuzhu again. (End of Chapter)
