Chapter 89: Buying Land and Establishing a Factory
Moreover, with Wu Hao's abilities, even a small hardware processing factory, as long as he puts in a little effort and provides some advanced technical information, there is a possibility that this small hardware processing factory will soon become a large machinery processing factory on the mainland, and it may even produce its own branded products!
You see, in the world today, if Wu Hao claims that the technology he masters ranks second in the world, no one dares to claim to be number one.
After all, Wu Hao has even dabbled in controlled nuclear fusion, and in a matter of months, he will develop more advanced technologies and various scientific research equipment in his base deep in the Qinling Mountains, which will be ahead of the world.
It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as Wu Hao's base development proceeds on the right track, it will not only support the transformation of a small hardware processing factory into a large company but also lead the entire human race to accelerate the progress of scientific and technological development without any problem.
Of course, in the short term, Wu Hao will not release any advanced technology. Perhaps this situation will only be implemented gradually after he has a certain level of control over the whole world.
For now, Wu Hao will quietly develop within his own base, make necessary technological reserves, and then develop technologies for his own use.
Furthermore, Wu Hao's primary task now is to solve his father's illness. After all, he does not want to see his loved ones leave this world early due to illness when he has the ability to provide a good life for his parents and family. If there is anything that is the greatest regret in life, it is probably this.
Just like many billionaires in society today, they have abundant wealth but lack a healthy body. However, Wu Hao is not just wealthy; he has mastered the most advanced technological skills in the world. For diseases that are currently unbeatable by humans, as long as he is given some time to prepare, he is fully capable of overcoming them.
In this way, in the next few days, with Wu Hao taking the lead and financial support, a piece of land measuring 100 acres was purchased on the outskirts of the city. As for the construction of the factory and specific coordination with construction units, Wu Hao didn't need to personally take charge. He entrusted all these tasks to Hong Lei for supervision and completion.
Although Hong Lei was not familiar with these tasks, he didn't need to be involved in the actual construction. Essentially, he played the role of a supervisor.
As for the design drawings of the factory, Wu Hao was solely responsible for them. Designing a factory was a simple task for him, and it didn't take much time for him to complete a complete set of plans for the factory and its related facilities.
Originally, Wu Hao planned to first acquire a hardware machinery factory and then expand based on that. Unfortunately, there were no decent hardware machinery processing factories in Sanyuan City. After realizing this, Wu Hao decided to directly buy land and build his own factory. Starting from scratch seemed like a good choice.
However, Hong Lei, as one of the shareholders of this factory, was shocked and somewhat speechless by Wu Hao's ambitious moves. Let alone anything else, just the land outside the city, which spanned over 100 acres, would cost tens of millions. If all this land was used for building the factory, the construction expenses alone would reach tens of millions. When considering the subsequent equipment purchases, it became clear that the overall investment in this factory would have to be several hundred million yuan at least.
On this day, after Hong Lei once again reviewed the factory plans designed by someone Wu Hao had found, he couldn't help but ask Wu Hao curiously, "Brother Hao, with such a large investment in building the factory, do you have a clear plan for its future main operations?"
By now, through these few days of contact with Wu Hao, Hong Lei had a rough idea of how much money Wu Hao possessed, at least several billion yuan. After all, from Hong Lei's perspective, without such a significant amount of capital, how could Wu Hao have the confidence to invest so much money in building a factory?
However, in reality, Wu Hao only directly invested funds in purchasing land and constructing the factory. As for the equipment the factory would need in the future, he had no intention of buying it from the outside. According to his plan, it would take at least six months, or even a year, to complete the construction of the entire factory. By that time, his base's production capacity would certainly be mature enough, and manufacturing precision industrial equipment would be no problem at all.
As for the specific products the factory would produce and operate in the future, Wu Hao already had a rough idea when he decided to invest in building the factory.
Of course, Wu Hao wouldn't reveal these plans to Hong Lei at this moment. So when he heard Hong Lei's question, he simply smiled mysteriously and replied, "You don't need to worry about the future operations of our factory. What you should focus on now is the construction of the factory. Although there is a specialized construction company in charge of the construction, you still have a lot to do. And during the construction period, take this opportunity to learn about management as well."
"Alright, I won't ask further now. But you mentioned management, and to be honest, if you asked me to run a small shop, I wouldn't have a problem. However, managing a factory... that's a big challenge. I'm afraid it's beyond my abilities," sighed Hong Lei.
To be honest, from the moment Wu Hao told him about buying land and building a factory, to the time the land was purchased in these past few days, Hong Lei had been in a state of shock. So, after learning about the scale of the factory from Wu Hao's description, he voluntarily refused the initial offer of a 20% stake that Wu Hao promised him. He said that 5% would already be a tremendous advantage for him.
However, in the end, Wu Hao still gave him a 10% stake. To be honest, whether it was 20% or 10% had no real impact on Wu Hao. After all, Wu Hao didn't plan to invest much effort into this factory. The reason he chose to build it in the city was partly to support his good friend and partly to have a tangible industrial asset for himself.
Because relying solely on stock trading to conceal his source of wealth wasn't a sustainable option. Moreover, investing in his hometown's city could be seen as contributing to its development.
In reality, when Wu Hao proposed purchasing land and building the factory to the municipal government, it wasn't done in his own name. It was operated through the name of an overseas investment company.
