History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 26
Recently, rumors quickly spread in the market that Shaw Brothers had a batch of projectors eliminated in "Nanyang" and they were transported back to Hong Kong Island by Shaw Brothers for processing. As a family business, it is reasonable to send a batch of obsolete equipment back to Hong Kong Island.

The business of the "Yuan Movie Store" in Kowloon is in full swing, and the old projectors are more valuable to be disposed of in Hong Kong Island than in Nanyang.

As a native of Ningbo who developed One Yuan Films in Kowloon Tong, Qiu Degeng has always paid close attention to the Shaw Brothers company in his hometown, and has friendship with the managers of several Shaw Brothers theaters.

The instinct of a businessman in his heart has long been aware that there may be a chance to make a fortune by taking good care of the Shaw Brothers Company. In fact, he also learned the concept of theaters from the Shaw Brothers Company...

He contacted Zhang Haiyang through the "Manager An" of the Causeway Bay Theater, and after learning that Zhang Haiyang had a batch of goods, he was even more eager to eat the projectors.

Last time, Zhao Zhiyuan had the upper hand in the confrontation with Zeng Shaoke, Chen Li, and Huayaoxian. It is foreseeable that Huayaoxian's business will not last long in Shek Kip Mei. Next, Shek Kip Mei will open two more branches. It is the business of Sham Shui Po.

Although Detective Hua from Sham Shui Po is from Chaoshan, if Hua Yaoxian can't support himself, Detective Cai will also sell Dongguan to help a portion of thin noodles.

At that time, if you promise a certain benefit and use Liu Fu's famous brand to suppress people, the chance of success is very high.

In the end, they can go to East Tsim Sha Tsui to grab land with Zhang Jingrong, and then continue to grab Yau Ma Tei. The goal of Zhao Yutang and him is to hit all of Kowloon, and first eat all the movie stores in Kowloon.

At that time, Zhao Yutang will have enough money to honor Guilao and the officer, and maybe he will become the next Inspector Zonghua.

The positions in the Hong Kong Island Police Force are limited, but the ghosts are busy making money, so the official hats are changed quickly, and the term of office is also very short. The current term of the Chief Inspector General Hua is five years.

In history, it is not uncommon for Inspector Hua to retire in his forties, and retirement in his early fifties is even more common. Even the first Chief Inspector "Yao Mu" who has retired is only 52 years old.

It is really a depressing thing to have to be idle for the elderly when you are in the prime of life. In short, it is to make room for the younger generation.

Inspector Hua, like Zhao Yutang, who is over 40 years old, is not busy preparing donations now, when will he start raising money?
Relying on Dongguan to help the big bosses lose money is a matter of luck. If you accidentally offend anyone, you will be unlucky. If you can earn money by yourself, you will be much harder.

You don't need to look at people's faces!
It has to be said that Zhao Yutang is a rich man in the city, and he wants to be self-reliant like a "flower waist sage". Unfortunately, he still doesn't know how to manage the business, and he has to rely on others to take care of the business, so he is destined to be unable to make a difference in business.

Qiu Degeng wants to follow Zhao Yutang all the way to the end. He has already planned to eat up the dollar store business in the entire Kowloon area. After a few years, he will use the money he makes to buy the land and start construction. In the future, he will build a whole area in Kowloon and the New Territories. The theater chain became the "King of Country Movies".

His business vision has already seen the potential of Kowloon and the New Territories, which have a large number of undeveloped land and a large number of immigrants.

After seeing Qiu Degeng, Zhang Haiyang tried to evade, "I'm sorry, Boss Qiu, Shaw Brothers has no returned projectors."

In Causeway Bay, at the Xicui Tea Restaurant, Qiu De took out an envelope from his trousers pocket, pressed it on the table and handed it over: "Manager Zhang, fellow villagers say that you have the best methods and the most goods, even He Dingxian's No. I’ll buy a machine from you too, I’ll accept it first.”

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

"I'm currently working with Inspector Zhao in Kowloon Tong. The business in the entire Kowloon area is going to expand, and there is an urgent need for a batch of projectors to be used for painting. If the pace is slow and someone else preempts it, I'm afraid some sites will be lost."

Zhang Haiyang couldn't help picking up the envelope, and he knew it was a few hundred yuan less. He thought it was too little, but he couldn't resist being taken advantage of and rushing to deliver the money, so he had to pretend to be cautious and look out the window. , put it in his pocket, put his head together and whispered: "Boss Qiu, since Inspector Hua from Kowloon Tong is taking care of you, who else would dare to compete with you for business?"

"Inspector Hua from the East of Jiandong, he hangs out with Inspector Zhao. It's not easy for a family to do things." Qiu De didn't mention He Dingxian again. From the perspective of a businessman, He Dingxian has 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 Kowloon District Zonghua Inspector.

Because Zhang Jingrong is an orthodox Dongguan native, he is even more supported by the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce. He is almost the number two member of the Dongguan gang in the police force.Relying on credit, loyalty and ability, Liu Fu has a status under Liu Fu, and few big bosses in the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce know him at all.

That's why Zhao Yutang paid more attention to the business of the movie store, and regarded the movie store as a turning point.

Seeing that Qiu De didn't mention He Dingxian, Zhang Haiyang thought that He Dingxian had really lost everything, and it seemed that the goods should have no risk.

He doesn't even bother to inspect this kind of goods that are destined to be dumped, and they are now sitting in the warehouse to eat ashes.

"Since this is the 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 entire batch of projectors is brought 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 a total of several products, as long as the price is right, I can eat them all."

The more some things are covered up, the more others believe it. Zhang Haiyang did not explain, drinking tea: "Sixteen projectors, 3000 yuan each, a total of 8000 yuan, if you want to take it, take it all at once, one and two It cannot be given to you."

"I don't want you to sell two sets here, and Inspector Zhang over there brings the police to check for parallel imports. Boss Shao is not in the mood to deal with the police for a small amount of money." Don't use the projector, because the theater chain can be said to be used by itself, the trouble is that it doesn't sound good to spread it.

Qiu De nodded more sensibly: "I understand, [-] is [-], the price is still fair, give me a day to raise money!"

He carefully calculated that the sixteen machines were just enough to cover the business in Kowloon. It doesn't matter whether the machines are new or old, as long as they can be used for a year, they can afford to buy brand new equipment.

Zhang Haiyang's eyes flickered and he said, "Come pick up the goods at the Central Theater tomorrow, preferably before four o'clock in the afternoon. Then I will pick out a batch of good old films and give them to you. Treat it as a friendship with the countryside."

Qiu De was even happier and hurriedly got up to shake hands, and said with an excited expression: "When you go out, you have to rely on your fellow countrymen!"

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