Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chaozhou Zou puffed out his cigarette and sighed: "Brother Xian, I am a younger brother, so I shouldn't talk about the eldest lady."

"But I've heard about what happened to you recently. Maybe it's important for you to hook up with Miss Chu."

"Every month, the Chaoshan Gang will send two red sticks to follow the big boss in 24-hour shifts. One red stick will follow Miss Chu out during the day." He happens to be on duty this month and has been with Miss Chu before, so he understands More: "According to what I know about Miss Chu, she is still very kind-hearted, but Boss Chu doesn't want her to take over the family business."

He Dingxian nodded matter-of-factly: "Chaoshan people always hope to have a boy to support their appearance."

"yes."

Chaozhou Zou sighed: "Boss Chu was busy doing business before and never got pregnant. After Miss Chu becomes an adult, she will have to give Miss Chu something to do."

"So I handed over the rubber business in Xingzhou Trading Company to Miss Chu, and asked Miss Chu to take care of the rubber imports in Southeast Asia. Miss Chu has always been responsible, but since Boss Chu gave birth to a baby the year before last, I have been thinking Marry Miss Chu out for marriage."

He Dingxian remained silent, not feeling much pity in his heart. He only felt that this was the fate of every wealthy lady.

Since you enjoy the wealthy life of a wealthy family, it is only natural that you must contribute to the family. What's more, when a young lady from a rich family marries a young man from a rich family, she doesn't have sincere feelings. At least she has rich material and enough respect.

As long as there are no problems with her mother's business and her life as a wealthy person has surpassed that of countless people of her generation, it is sad to say that there is nothing good in the world.

Of course, in later generations when the status of women has greatly increased, or young ladies who are favored by their fathers, they may be able to live a single life for the rest of their lives, but the probability of free love is still very low. Being single for a lifetime will at least not affect the family. Free love can find a rebellious person. Tsai will be in bad luck.

The big bosses, seeing all the trouble, would rather marry a son-in-law than wait for their daughter's young talent.

"I see."

"So Miss Chu has always wanted to prove herself and take over the family business. After all, her brother is so young, so she still has a chance."

"In order to avoid being married off, I came up with ways to seduce women, deliberately tarnishing my reputation and making it difficult for me to marry." He Dingxian figured it out.

Chaozhou Zou nodded and said: "Therefore, Miss Chu only started playing with women the year before last. She doesn't really have that kind of hobby, but she is just afraid that the more she plays, the more addicted she becomes. Maybe she will be ruined if she really falls in love with a woman."

"But Boss Chu couldn't manage her well when he saw this, so he split the rubber business and set up a separate trading company for her to manage. It's just a good thing that you didn't agree to the request."

"Otherwise, she will feel resentment in her heart."

He Dingxian curled his lips: "If I didn't offend those uncles and young men, and a beautiful girl was thrown to me, would I not play?"

"Push to the street!"

Chaozhou Zou also laughed: "Miss Chu regards those singers as her sisters. Of course, they are not biological sisters. To put it bluntly, those singers do it to make money. Miss Chu is not that stupid, but she really treats them as friends and often asks the singers to talk to her. It’s a way to relieve loneliness.”

"Okay, it's over the line to say it again. I have to go back and follow the boss first. Are you free to have dinner with me on Sunday night?"

He Dingxian blinked and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner?"

"You killed Lu Fengtang's Da Mo Wen last week. The club is always looking for a recruiter to take over. Bathing and sauna management is a big job. The new boss asked me to talk to you."

"After all, you can be considered a favor to him." Chaozhou Zou let out a mean laugh: "Hehehehe."

"hehe."

He Dingxian also smiled.

Chao Yiyong was very dissatisfied with Damo Wen's behavior of cheating, and the leader of the society paid a bill of 270,000 Hong Kong dollars for this.

Although this account will make many people in Chao Yiyong feel unhappy with him, it does not mean that everyone in Chao Yiyong will give him a hard time.

For example, Chaozhou Zou, who had a good relationship with him before, and Lu Fengtang, the newly appointed Zha Shiren, had no problem having a private meal with him.

Chao Yiyong also behaved calmly after Liu Fu was shot. In about ten days and a half, the relationship between the two parties will return to its original state.

We need to work together to make money.

"OK."

"See you at Donghua Restaurant on Sunday evening." He Dingxian agreed.

Chaozhou Zou threw away the cigarette butt in his hand: "Let's go."

"Go on to work."

the next day.

morning.

He Dingxian asked Lardboy to withdraw 30,000 Hong Kong dollars from the company's accounts and send it to Zou Huaiwen in Central as funds for the acquisition of a second-hand paper mill.

This second-hand paper mill suffered a fire and no valuable goods were left. The only valuable items left were three paper machines and two printing presses.

These paper machines and printing machines need to be confirmed to be usable, and then purchased at a discount. A total of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars is completely sufficient for purchase.

After meeting Zou Huaiwen in Central, Lardboy followed Zou Huaiwen to the New Territories in person, took the money to complete the transaction, and then asked someone to use a pallet truck to dismantle the machine and transport it to an old house in Shek Kip Mei.

Zou Huaiwen took a day off to help get things done.

A new paper mill will be opened in the Shek Kip Mei area.

There are many piers in Kowloon, and shipping is more convenient than in the New Territories. Cargo ships can be quickly delivered to Shek Kip Mei regardless of whether they take the Victoria Harbor pier, Tsim Sha Tsui or Stonecutters Island. Currently, most of the goods landed in Kowloon are loaded by regular companies at the Victoria Harbor pier, Tsim Sha Tsui , Stonecutters Island are all parallel imports.

Because Victoria Harbor is currently the largest cargo terminal in Hong Kong, the small terminals in Tsim Sha Tsui, Stonecutters Island and other places are mostly black terminals.

There are also terminals in Tseung Kwan O, Tuen Mun, Kwai Tsing and other areas in the New Territories. However, the roads in the New Territories are currently inconvenient and require special trucks for transportation. The cost is not worth it. It will take five to ten years for the New Territories terminals to become more convenient and truly developed. After the completion of the Kwai Tsing Container Terminal, it is still early.

Finally, the New Territories are opposed to the establishment of paper mills, which will easily cause problems in local recruitment. On the contrary, the large number of refugees in Shek Kip Mei provides the best employment environment.

In terms of business, we only focus on the business environment. If we then consider the problems of Zhang Jingrong and the Dongguan Gang, we will inevitably seem to be constrained.

"Brother Xian, all the machines have been moved into the housing estate."

In the evening, the owner of the Lard Shop came to the company, served him a cup of hot tea, and said excitedly: "None of the five machines is broken. At that time, the factory owner tried his best to save the machines first. Now the business can't be done, so it's an advantage for us."

"Um."

He Dingxian drank a cup of tea and said in a deep voice: "The new factory is very important. The next step is to recruit people in the factory, about thirty people first."

"Some are responsible for printing and papermaking, and some are responsible for pulling goods. Workers should keep a close eye on them. It doesn't matter if they are technical students. They can be trained by masters."

"But the most important thing is to be poor enough and loyal enough! It's best if they are all from Chaoshan!" He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of a factory worker.

Lardboy nodded and said: "I understand, leave the recruitment to me. In addition, Manager Zou promised to obtain the supplier qualification of "Sing Tao Daily" for the factory after the first batch of lumber is produced."

"In two months, as long as the factory can get back on track, he will resign from Sing Tao Daily and exclusively manage the paper factory."

Zou Huaiwen has now applied for leave from "Sing Tao Daily". He is relying on his family connections to take a temporary job, and his corresponding salary will be reduced.

He began to take full responsibility for the management of the paper factory, waiting for the factory to make money and resigning, leaving a way out if something unexpected happened.

"That's no problem. As long as you do a good job, your salary will be paid until you resign." He Dingxian was very generous.

Considering that the new factory is about to open, some new arrangements for personnel should also be made.

He muttered: "Azai, if the business is going to be good in the future, the factories may be one after another. I have to work in the police force and have no time to take care of the business."

"You will be responsible for the money bags of the brothers. Grab the boss and hand over the details to each person in charge."

Lardboy said with a smile: "The big brother wants to be our backer in the police force, and we can just leave it to the younger ones outside."

"I plan to hand over the movie store to A Kun, what do you think?" Zou Huaiwen is naturally in charge of the paper factory, but after Wu Shihao left, the movie store lacked a person in charge.

Lardboy hesitated and said, "Aren't you going to leave it to Ajie?"

"I want Ajie to keep an eye on Zou Huaiwen. The paper mill cannot live without its own people." Ajie was considered to have made a great contribution last time, and he would be rewarded based on his merits as soon as he was discharged from the hospital.

After hearing this, Lardboy nodded and said: "That's no problem, the arrangement is very good."

"From now on, you will be directly responsible to me. The movie store has other people's shares, and the paper mill needs to register another company." After He Dingxian finished speaking, Lardboy said happily: "I will go through the registration procedures, but the sign must be The big boss will decide."

"Well..." He Dingxian pondered for a moment and decided: "Let's call the brand Oriental Paper!"

"Chinese-owned companies like to use similar names, and we join in the fun. In the future, others will call Dongfang Company's name more prominent."

Lardboy smiled and replied: "No problem!"

"In addition, I sent Newspaper Hong to go to Southeast Asia with a ship to purchase. Remember to change the person in charge of the movie store on Shanghai Street. I think Newspaper Hong will be promising in the future if he dares to venture into it and can be put to great use."

He Dingxian said.

When a cargo ship goes out, someone needs to accompany the ship. Every company that needs to purchase will send a close associate to handle the matter. The boss who specializes in international trade will often bring his brothers to go to sea directly with the ship.

Of course, the risks of going overseas are huge, and the rewards are also huge. You can make thousands of dollars just by going to the boss and doing nothing.

But when you encounter pirates and Da Tian Er, you have to risk your life.

The shipowner is only responsible for driving the ship and transporting goods, but he doesn't help you with purchases. He will only work together when encountering pirates.

Lardboy heard the words and said with a smile: "Haha, Newspaper Hong volunteered to go, right? I've already seen that he has a clever mind and wants to make money with the boss."

Ho Ting-yin was noncommittal: "We are all villagers from Shek Kip Mei who want to make money."

night.

When he returned home by rickshaw, he turned around and asked, "Akun, are you interested in helping me manage the business of the movie store?"

Ni Kun's expression was stunned and he looked surprised: "Boss, I don't care about business."

"Haha, no one is born with it. Anyway, Ah Hao's position is vacant. Are you interested in taking it?" He Dingxian said with a smile.

Ni Kun was silent for a moment and said firmly: "Big boss, I still want to help you pull the car!"
