Hong Kong Island Old Events

Recently, it has been widely circulated in the market that Shaw Theater has a batch of projectors that were eliminated in "Nanyang" and were shipped back to Hong Kong Island for processing by Shaw Brothers. Shaw Brothers are the famous theater kings in Nanyang and are closely related to Shaw Brothers. As a family business, it makes sense to send a batch of outdated equipment back to Hong Kong Island.

The business of the "One Dollar Movie Store" in Kowloon is booming, and the old projectors will be more valuable when disposed of on Hong Kong Island than in Nanyang.

As a native of Ningbo who developed one-dollar films in Kowloon Tong, Qiu Degen has always paid close attention to the Shaw Brothers Company in his hometown, and he has friendships with the managers of several Shaw Brothers theaters.

The businessman's instinct in him has long since realized that if he takes careful care of Shaw Brothers, he may have the opportunity to make a fortune. In fact, he also learned the concept of theater chain from Shaw Brothers...

He contacted Zhang Haiyang through "Manager An" of Causeway Bay Cinema. After learning that Zhang Haiyang had a batch of goods, he became even more eager to eat this batch of projectors.

Last time Zhao Zhiyuan prevailed in the confrontation with Zeng Shaoke, Chen Li and Hua Yaoxian. It can be predicted that Hua Yaoxian's store will not last long in Shek Kip Mei. Next, two more branches will be opened in Shek Kip Mei. That's business in Sham Shui Po.

Although Inspector Hua from Sham Shui Po is from Chaoshan, if Hua Yaoxian cannot support himself, Inspector Cai will also sell Dongguan Bang a portion of thin noodles.

When the time comes, if you promise a certain amount of benefits and use Liu Fu's golden signature to pressure people, you will have a high chance of success.

Finally, they can go to East Tsim Sha Tsui to compete with Zhang Jingrong for territory, and then continue to seize Yau Ma Tei. Zhao Yutang and his goal is to conquer all the Kowloon districts and eat up all the movie stores in Kowloon districts first.

By then, Zhao Yutang will have enough money to serve the ghosts and superiors, and may become the next Inspector Zonghua.

Positions in the Hong Kong Island Police Force are limited, but Gui Lao is busy making money, so the official title changes quickly and the term is also very short. The current term of a Chief Inspector is five years.

Historically, it was not uncommon for Inspector Hua to retire in his forties, and it was even more common to retire in his early fifties. Even the retired first Chief Inspector "Yao Mu" was only fifty-two years old.

It must be said that it is a depressing thing to have to retire when you are still young and strong. In short, it is to make room for future generations.

Inspector Hua, like Zhao Yutang, who is in his forties, is not busy preparing donations now. When will he start raising money?

Relying on helping the big bosses in Dongguan by throwing money to gain support depends on luck. If you accidentally offend someone, you will be unlucky. If you can find money on your own and get high, it will be much harder.

There’s no need to look at people’s faces!

It has to be said that Zhao Yutang is a wealthy man, but he actually wants to be self-reliant like a "flower waist sage". Unfortunately, he still doesn't know how to run a business and relies on others to take care of his business, so he is destined to fail in business.

Qiu Degen, on the other hand, is determined to follow Zhao Yutang all the way to the end. He has already planned to take over the entire dollar store business in Kowloon. In a few years, he will use the money earned to buy the land and start construction. In the future, he will build an entire city in Kowloon and the New Territories. A theater chain has become the "King of Country Movies".

His business vision has already seen the potential of Kowloon and the New Territories, where a large amount of land remains undeveloped and a large number of immigrants are pouring into it.

After Zhang Haiyang saw Qiu Degeng, he excused himself and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Qiu, Shaw Brothers Company doesn't have any projectors that have been withdrawn."

In the Xicui Tea Restaurant in Causeway Bay, Qiu Degen took out an envelope from his trousers pocket, pressed it on the table and handed it over: "Manager Zhang, the fellow villagers say you have the best ideas and the best products. Even He Dingxian's first I’ll also buy a machine from you, so I’ll accept it first.”

"Whether you have a machine or not, I want to make friends with you. If you do have a machine, please sell it to me. The price is negotiable."

"I am now working with Detective Zhao from Kowloon Tong. The business in the entire Kowloon area is going to expand, and we are in urgent need of a batch of projectors for painting. If we are slow and others take over, I'm afraid we won't be able to win some of the territory."

Zhang Haiyang couldn't help but pick up the envelope. He pinched it a little and realized that it was a few hundred yuan. In fact, he felt that it was too little, but he couldn't resist being bullied and rushed to deliver money to his door, so he had to pretend to be cautious and look out the window. , put it in his pocket, raised his head and whispered: "Boss Qiu, since you have Inspector Hua from Kowloon Tong taking care of you, who else dares to steal business from you?"

"Inspector Hua from East Tsim Sha Tsui hangs out with Inspector Zhao. It's hard for the family to do things well." Qiu De didn't mention He Dingxian again. From the perspective of a businessman, He Dingxian had already lost, let alone in the eyes of Zhao Zhiyuan and Zeng Shaoke. …

But he didn't say that Zhao Yutang and Zhang Jingrong were in a competitive relationship. Both of them had status and status under Liu Fu, and they were desperately competing for the position of the next Chief Inspector of Kowloon District.

Because Zhang Jingrong is an orthodox Dongguan native and is more supported by the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, he is almost the number two figure in the Dongguan Gang in the police circle. Unlike Zhao Yutang, who is close to him, his grandma does not love him and his uncle does not love him. Relying on merit, loyalty and ability, he gained a position under Liu Fu, and few big bosses in the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce knew him.

Therefore, Zhao Yutang paid more attention to the movie store business and regarded the movie store as a turnaround.

Zhang Haiyang saw that Qiu De did not mention He Dingxian, so he thought that He Dingxian had really lost cleanly. It seemed that there was no risk to the goods.

He didn't even bother to inspect this kind of goods that were destined to be dumped out, and now they were just sitting in the warehouse gathering dust.

"In this case, I will tell you frankly that Shaw Brothers will not sell second-hand projectors because those projectors are parallel imports."

Zhang Haiyang preached.

Qiu De was even more surprised: "The whole batch of projectors came in by water? No wonder, if such a large number of projectors pass the customs, the tax value will be higher than the price."

"Manager Zhang has several products in total. As long as the price is right, I can eat them all."

The more some things are concealed, the more others believe them to be true. Zhang Haiyang did not explain, but drank tea and said: "Sixteen projectors, each worth 3,000 yuan, a total of 48,000 yuan. If you want to take them, take them all in one go. One I can’t give you two.”

"I don't want you to just sell two units here, and Inspector Zhang will bring the police over there to check for parallel imports. Boss Shao is not in the mood to deal with the police for a small amount of money." Even if the police found the theater chain, they would also bring him Don't use the projector, because the theater can be said to be for their own use. The trouble is that it will not sound good when it is broadcast.

Qiu De nodded knowingly: "I understand, forty-eight thousand is forty-eight thousand, the price is quite fair, give me a day to raise the money!"

He carefully calculated that sixteen machines would be enough to cover all the business in Kowloon. Regardless of whether the machines were new or old, as long as they could be used for a year, he would have the money to buy brand new equipment.

Zhang Haiyang said with twinkling eyes: "Go to the Central Cinema to pick up the goods tomorrow, preferably before four o'clock in the afternoon. Then I will select a batch of good old films and give them to you, just as a sign of friendship from the same country."

Qiu De was even more happy and quickly stood up to shake hands, and said excitedly: "When you go out, you have to rely on your fellow villagers!"

It has to be said that when Chinese people are working abroad, there are many people from the same country who unite and help each other, but there are also many people who harm each other. If you want to get along well, you don't rely on your fellow villagers, but your brains!
