Hong Kong Island Old Events

Three days later, He Dingxian drove his newly-registered Mercedes-Benz S-Class to the mission station for work. He parked next to Director Gui Lao's BMW and used the mechanical key to lock the door. He pulled hard twice and locked the door firmly. Go up and walk into the mission hall door with satisfaction.

A moment later, Ge Bai, wearing uniform and police hat, stopped by the new car and looked at it intently. Then he looked at the figure disappearing around the corner of the police station. He swallowed secretly and his thoughts became more active in his head. .

This car only cost 130,000 yuan. It doesn't matter if he gives the remaining 120,000 yuan in a year and a half. If he is willing to let Lao Fu go to Mong Kok to collect water, the 120,000 yuan amount can be written off with one stroke. , of course the superior Inspector Hua can even afford to spend Hong Kong dollars.

"Sir."

"Sir." The military uniforms and civilians on the first floor stood at attention and saluted.

He Dingxian nodded, returned to the office, picked up the newspaper on the table, and began to read it carefully.

After the launch of "Oriental Evening News", relying on the number of customers brought by "Oriental Daily", sales have grown steadily, and more than a thousand copies of the newspaper can be sold every day.

Jin Yong's "Book, Sword and Enmity" serialized in the "Wanbao" was very popular as soon as it was published. More readers' letters were sent to the newspaper than "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Beijing".

However, "Books and Swords" was released more than a month later than "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua", which caused most Oriental Daily readers to focus on "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua". If they wait until "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" Once it's over, readers are likely to move to "The Book of Swords and Enemies" in large numbers.

"Shaw Brothers Cinemas purchased a store in Yau Ma Tei and plans to open the theater chain in Kowloon?" As usual, after reading the novel, He Tingxian opened the "Business Daily" and saw a very important business news on the second page.

"The people of Shaocun are really discerning." He put down the newspaper and was alert, and called the detective on duty at the door to come in: "Help me bring A Kun in at the door of the police station."

"Yes, sir!" The agent stood at attention and saluted, and immediately turned around to lead Ni Kun in. Even though Ni Kun had not yet learned to drive a car, he still did not dare to slack off every day. He took a rickshaw to guard the door of the police station, for fear that the big boss would come to him at any time. Use a car.

"Big boss." Ni Kun bowed and saluted after entering the door, and closed the door smoothly.

He Dingxian ordered: "Help me go to Yau Ma Tei and bring Qiu Degen and Lard Zai to the mission. I have something to discuss with them."

"I know, boss." Ni Kun immediately opened the door and trotted out of the police station.

"Shaw Brothers and Sons plans to open a cinema chain in Yau Ma Tei, which is equivalent to grabbing food on my territory. It seems that the business of the dollar store in Kowloon has allowed them to see the potential of the film market in Kowloon in the future. How can they be willing to settle for just one dollar? Will the store get a share of the pie?”

"After all, the dollar store is my business, not theirs. They have definitely been planning and raising funds to open new theaters."

"Brother Xian."

"big boss."

In less than half an hour, Qiu Degen and Zhu Luzai were sitting in the office of Inspector Hua of the Mong Kok Police Station. He Dingxian also threw the newspaper to them directly, leaned on the chair, flicked the cigarette ashes and said: "You guys Didn’t you receive the message?”

Lardboy had an ugly expression and lowered his head to apologize: "Sorry, Brother Xian, I thought the theater chain had nothing to do with the dollar store, so I didn't take it to heart."

"You think so too?" He Dingxian turned to look at Qiu Degeng, and Qiu Degeng said: "He Sheng, it doesn't matter at the moment, but in the long run, the dollar store will be eliminated by the market sooner or later. As long as citizens have money, I will definitely choose a more comfortable place.”

"Moreover, the quality of movies in the theater chain is better than that of the dollar store, and it is newer than the dollar store. Boss Shao opened the theater chain in Kowloon. On the surface, it has nothing to do with us, but in fact, it is blocking our way."

"If I guess correctly, Mr. He will also run a theater chain in the future."

He Dingxian nodded and said: "Yes, Boss Shao is blocking our way and relying on money to hit us. In fact, the two theaters in Mong Kok have always made money, but they don't make much money and they invest a lot."

"With the addition of Boss Shao, competition will become stronger, and the theater business will be more difficult to do in the future..."

Lardboy frowned: "It seems to be a very profitable business, and the bosses all want to do it. Why is it so difficult to do it?"

Qiu De even analyzed it from the perspective of a businessman: "It is precisely because all peers see that they can make money, and one by one jumps out to grab it, that it is difficult to make money in the market. One monk fetched water, three monks had no water to drink, and the dollar store The previous business was too eye-catching.”

"My peers will see this and will naturally make judgments about the future market. They are almost always right. Mr. Shao has financial resources and film sources and is the first to place a bet at the gambling table."

"Big boss, the time for placing bets at the gambling table has been advanced, and the opening of the cards will also be advanced. If we place bets, we may be thrown off."

Lardboy looked thoughtful and realized something: "It turns out that the difficulty is just at the beginning. If all the competitors, big and small, are driven off the table, the money in the market will naturally flow to the hands of the final winner. The market cannot accommodate a few giants, and there are at most two or three cinema chain owners on Hong Kong Island."

"No wonder there is always a king born in a certain industry on Hong Kong Island, and the remaining one or two surviving competitors cannot catch up."

A larger market can accommodate more bosses.

The competition in the cinema market from the 1950s to the 1970s was very fierce. Fortunately, due to the continuous expansion of the Hong Kong Island film market, many bosses ended up making a lot of money.

"You're right, it's time to make your bets in advance." He Dingxian strongly agreed with Qiu Degen's statement: "The Shaw Brothers are now entering Kowloon. In fact, they are afraid that I will have money. Otherwise, the theaters currently operating in Kowloon will The risk is still very high. According to the style of the Thao Village father and his son, once it opens, it will definitely spread the theaters throughout Kowloon and the New Territories within three to five years."

"Don't look at the fact that the first theater opened with only a few hundred thousand invested. In fact, the entire investment plan was formulated with hundreds of thousands or millions."

"The loss is worth hundreds of thousands, which can seriously damage their vitality. It is also a big gamble for Shaw Brothers."

"Now that I have become Inspector Hua in Mong Kok District, and I have businesses in a paper factory and a movie store, my capital flow is more abundant than before, which can be said to have forced the people of Shaocun to make up their minds."

If he was still a uniformed team leader who only wanted to get money from movie stores, maybe the people of Shao Village would continue to observe and take their time. Under the appearance of Shaw Company's vigorous and vigorous approach, there might be an anxious heart.

"But what should we do if we don't have money to place bets?" He Dingxian looked at Qiu Degen and then at Lard Boy: "I can pay out one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, and three to five million, but with Shaw Brothers Companies are vying for land and may have to burn millions of Hong Kong dollars."

"Where can I find money?"

"It's not enough to pawn all your wealth, why should you sell yourself?"

Lardboy opened his mouth, wanting to raise money for the big boss, but when he thought about the huge amount, he didn't have the courage to close his mouth. He couldn't really let the big boss sell himself, right?

Qiu Degeng was lost in thought, obviously a careful person.

He Dingxian did not rush him, but handed him a cup of tea and waited quietly for Qiu Degeng's answer.

Qiu Degeng's eyes flickered, he looked at him a few times, took a sip from the tea cup, and finally slowly said what was in his mind: "Big boss, businessmen can't tie their hands to money. Money is like water. In the world, Is it possible that there is no water? The money is not in your hands, but it is temporarily placed in other people's pockets. Those who are incompetent will hold it with both hands, waiting for the world to fall into water, and those who are capable should dig a ditch to divert water to themselves."

"If you don't have money, go find money. As long as you use good methods, money will always flow in. If you need money to fight with others, then open a bank account and use other people's money to fight!"

Qiu Degeng gritted his teeth and said in a decisive tone: "The big boss came forward to carry the name of the bank. He tried to find a way to get the ghost guy and the Chinese policeman to save money and promised a little interest."

"If I can't raise a hundred, I can still raise fifty. Anyway, I'll take the money and go out to fight first to solve the urgent need. But I'm afraid I have to bet on the future of the big boss."

"It depends on whether the big boss dares to gamble."

He Dingxian has gambled his life several times in the world of gunfire and bullets. He never thought that one day he would have to gamble his life in business. But this is the case in the business world. Whatever you think of, others can copy and use it, and then use huge capital to smash it. you!

You can either choose to work for a big capital company and be a little brother, or you can make a strange move and make a big business bet. Which of the big bosses in the shopping mall is going to bet their wealth and life?

Qiu De even made it clear that opening a bank to absorb depositors' money, and then using the depositors' money to engage in business wars with others, sounds like a reasonable business operation, but in fact it is a very dangerous move. The bank owner's funds exploded. Countless people have been hacked to pieces and their bodies have been filled in the sea. There have been too many in the past two or three hundred years. Even private equity managers and stock brokers have been killed and thrown into rivers. There are many unsolved cases.

Everyone who spends money hopes to make money. Once he loses money, he can do anything.

If He Dingxian wants to set up a bank, the fastest way to attract savings is to use his identity as Inspector Hua to attract savings from Hua Jing, a Chaoshan native, and even his boss Gui Lao.

The interest rates have to be higher.

Otherwise, ordinary customers have fixed banks and bank accounts to save money, and even buy gold and silver. Why should they hand over their bank accounts to you?

If he didn't win the bet and there was a thunderstorm in the bank, not to mention the ghost guy who wanted to kill him, even his brothers might draw their guns, and the skins on their bodies wouldn't be able to cover him at all!

This is the first time someone is pushed to the edge of a cliff without even firing a bullet. It makes me feel inexplicably angry, but isn't the "silver bullet" a kind of bullet?

There is no easy way to make money in business.

But as Inspector Tahua, is it necessary to gamble?

Under the gaze of Qiu Degeng and Zhu Luzai, He Dingxian smoked two cigarettes in a row, thought about it, and suddenly said sharply: "Bet!"

"Is there anything you don't dare to gamble on?"

"I can't stand anyone stepping on me, and I can't stand having someone take away what I'm looking at. What I'm interested in must be mine!"

He really couldn't stand the thought of letting others take away a commercial territory consisting of theater chains, movie theaters, and novels.

He can accept losing an opportunity and a piece of profit after being defeated, but he cannot accept that he will not fight and choose to avoid fighting when he has the opportunity.

The rivers and lakes are like a stream, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Today you are greedy for life, tomorrow you are afraid of death, and later you will be hung on the railing to expose your body!

However, gambling should not be done blindly. After adjusting his mood, he sat down and asked: "We also want to attract savings, so why do we set up a money bank instead of a bank?"

"I remember that the procedures for applying for a bank are not difficult. Does it at least look more formal?"
