History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 85
Ni Kun's pace of pulling the cart slowed down, and he said in surprise, "Yes, Boss He."

He was not surprised that the boss would know, but that the boss would open his mouth to ask him. He Dingxian sat in the car, crossed his legs, and laughed: "Congratulations."

"It's all thanks to the boss." Ni Kun said sincerely: "If there is no boss, how can I, a driver, pay the starting salary?"

He Dingxian nodded slightly: "It's a good thing for a man to start a family and start a business. In the future, the burden on him will be heavier, so he must work hard..."

Ni Kun was excited when he heard the words, and said decisively: "It must be good to do things for the boss."

"Remember to invite me to the wedding banquet, as long as you have time, you must go. I will pay for the sedan chair team that day." He Dingxian said proudly: "I will add another pig for you!"

These days, it is popular to use sedan chairs for weddings and events on Hong Kong Island, and there are special sedan chair shops that cater for them.

Those who like ostentation will even use eight large sedan chairs, beating and beating all the way, suona firecrackers, so lively.

When welcoming the bride on the wedding day, the groom's official will also bring a live pig to the door for the natal family's treat.

Of course, a poor family can buy a daughter with a few hundred Hong Kong dollars, and marrying a company that works is considered high-profile. Drivers like Ni Kun work on the streets and work as coolies. How can they afford to hire a sedan chair team when they get married? Yu hurriedly refused: "The boss doesn't need to spend money, I have made an appointment with a few brothers, and when the time comes, they will come to the door to pull a car to pick up my relatives..."

He Dingxian frowned, quite upset: "Do you want others to point at you behind your back and call you a cart puller?"

Ni Kun's expression was stunned, and he opened his mouth and said, "Putting the cart is very good. I am very happy to help the big boss pull the cart."

He Dingxian felt a little ashamed when he heard the words, moved his butt subconsciously, and said softly: "The day of great joy is different from usual. No matter how poor a person is, the day of marriage must be beautiful. Otherwise, what is there to live for?" mean?"

"Akun, since you are with me, I don't want you to be laughed at. Every brother has worked hard for me and is also my face. Go back and ask your younger siblings. If you don't like to take a sedan chair, I will rent a car for you. "

Hong Kong Island currently has taxi services, but the companies are all in the hands of British capital, and no "taxi license" has been officially issued.

Taxis also only appear at the docks and hotel entrances. If you want to use a car in other places, you need to call the taxi company first.

Zhonghua Bus in Hong Kong Island, and Kowloon Bus in Kowloon and the New Territories have also obtained special regional operating licenses.

But the difference between a taxi and a rickshaw is the difference between the bottom class and the top class.

One city, two lives.

The owner of Zhonghua Bus, "Yan Chengkun", has been a sedan dealer for his ancestors, and his business is very prosperous. Later, he saw the future of Zhonghua Bus and spent 33 Hong Kong dollars to win the bus franchise in Hong Kong Island in 34.

Yan's sedan chair shop is still the largest sedan chair shop on Hong Kong Island. Many ghosts like to take sedan chairs, carried by four bearers, to parks and mountain roads where cars are difficult to drive.

After hearing what the big boss said, Ni Kun was very moved. After a silence, he said: "The sedan chair is enough, boss."

"it is good."

"Remember it." He Dingxian replied softly, closed his eyes, and ignored him. Ni Kun sent him all the way to the pier, boarded the boat together, and continued to pull the cart to Kowloon until he arrived at the Yuandian Company on Shanghai Street.

It was less than a week when he left Shanghai Street, and he would not feel any strangeness when he came back. When he entered the dollar store, six or seven horse boys in short shirts who were playing cards turned their heads, with a look of surprise on their faces. , quickly dropped the card and got up and shouted: "Boss."

"boss."

Hearing the voice, Zhu Youzi pushed away from the office, with a joyful expression on his face, he said loudly, "Brother Xian, why are you here?"

He Dingxian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "See if you have a cold."

Lardboy rubbed his nose, then proudly puffed out his chest, pretending to be brave in front of his brothers: "What's the point of going down the Xiangjiang River? Is that shallow water enough for me to swim? I'm not bragging, there is a big boss pulling me on the shore, jumping into the Pacific Ocean Can swim back easily."

"Don't pretend to be big, who was crying that day?" He Dingxian didn't save him any face, and broke the cowhide with a single sentence, and the brothers all around smiled at the same time, but the respect for Brother Zi in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

It's a fake not to be afraid of death, but dare to stand up, it's admirable!

Zhu Youzi immediately made a embarrassed look, and muttered: "Brother Xian, it's hard for me to take care of brothers like this..."

"It's delicious and delicious every month, and the movie shop pays wages, do you need to bring it?" The brothers laughed when they heard the words.

Lardboy glared at his brothers, told the Streetboys to sit down and play cards, then invited the big boss into the room, served a cup of tea, closed the door, and asked respectfully, "Brother Xian, can you come to me?" What's up?"

He thought that the matter in the Hong Kong Island area was not over yet, but He Dingxian shook his head and said out loud, "I'm not here to find you, I'm here to find Qiu Degeng."

"You came to find Manager Qiu..." Zhu Youzi said in surprise, but he didn't look contemptuous: "I'll call someone for you."

"Wait, how is Qiu Degeng doing recently?" He Dingxian asked aloud, but Lard Boy didn't hide it, and said straightforwardly: "Honestly working."

"The dollar store has Boss Shao's shares, but doesn't have his shares. There's no need to embarrass us, but the accounts are checked very carefully."

Lard boy muttered, "I'm very diligent in doing things, and I even help my wife wash the dishes after get off work."

He Dingxian nodded and said, "Call him."

"Okay." Zhu Youzai opened the door and went out, and brought him into the office in less than 2 minutes. Qiu De was wearing a jacket and glasses, and bowed to say hello with a restrained expression: "Boss He."

He Dingxian stood up on the chair and looked at him. Qiu Degeng looked averted. He Dingxian knew that the other party was afraid of him from the bottom of his heart, so he laughed and said, "Boss Qiu, raise your head. I have something to talk to you about."

Qiu De raised his head even more stiffly, his dark face was lifeless, which was different from the spirited look when we first met.

Hitting the wall once when starting a business on Hong Kong Island had extremely serious consequences, which made Qiu De more aware of the difference between part-time work and starting a business.

As for the fatigue and wrinkles on his face, he has spent his whole life at the bottom, struggling to get over.

A little setback can neither destroy his ambition and ambition, nor defeat a business giant who can make a fortune from nothing, but the favor he owes to Boss Shao has trapped him in the film company. So what if I can afford food?

"Boss He, please tell me if you have anything to say." He spoke in a hoarse voice, which was a bit unpleasant, and He Dingxian asked, "Are you interested in opening an accounting company?"

"Huh?" Qiu De was stunned for a moment, suspicious in his heart. It is not so easy to open an accounting firm. Firstly, he needs to obtain a formal accountant license, and secondly, he needs key business channels.

At present, there are not many accounting firms on Hong Kong Island, and they are basically serving in Ocean Bank. After all, who needs professional accountants other than Ocean Bank?

There are too many people on Hong Kong Island who know how to settle accounts. The accountants of almost every company can calculate accounts very quickly, and the accountants of large companies are even "actuaries".

He Dingxian continued to ask: "I may have some accounts in Hong Kong Island, and I need professional accountants to help calculate and check them."

"In the future, there will be more and more accounts, and we even need to hire a group of helpers. Instead of letting outsiders make all the money, it is better to introduce it to friends."

He cast his eyes on the other party, and said solemnly: "You have done a good job in accounting in the movie store. I think Boss Shao will let you be in charge of accounting. You have also learned how to do accounts. After all, I am the owner of the movie store. You It is true to work for Boss Shao, strictly speaking, he is also my employee, right?"

"Yes." Qiu De had no choice but to nod and admit, "My salary is paid by the company."

He Dingxian nodded: "Eating my food for several months, have you thought about doing something for me? By the way, you can also plan a way out."

"You are also my first opponent on the business road when I come out to do things. Although I am not sophisticated enough and have paid the price, I appreciate you. You can't be stuck in the dollar store for the rest of your life, can you?"

Qiu De even smiled and said: "Thanks to Boss He for looking up to me, but I can't be called an opponent. I just wanted to make some money at the time."

"Boss He, you can send the accounts tonight. As for the establishment of an accounting firm, we can talk about it later. I can't read English, and I can't pass the accounting certificate, but I can do something for Boss He."

He Dingxian nodded slightly: "For Boss Shao, you are just a pawn arranged at will, responsible for watching me, but if you are willing to follow me, there is still a place to make great achievements in the future. How do I treat my brothers? You usually don't care about me." See it."

He poured a cup of tea on the table, turned around and handed it to Qiu Degeng, and said in a deep voice, "A cup of tea is enough time for you to decide whether to follow me or not."

It doesn't take too long for a smart person to make a choice, not to mention choosing sides. Last time Qiu Degeng made a mistake and almost lost his fortune. How will Qiu Degeng choose this time?
His heart was throbbing, and he had expectations in his heart. He took the teacup without hesitation, drank it in a toast, and said, "Mr. He, please tell me something."

He Dingxian patted him on the shoulder and said with a laugh: "Qiu Sheng, from now on, I will be my own. I will have a lot of business for you."

Fat immediately piled up on Lardboy's face, and he cheerfully helped Qiu Degeng take away the teacup, then turned around and said, "Boss Qiu, I'll take care of you from now on."

With his shrewdness, he naturally knows that Qiu De will be reused. Winning Qiu De is not only a nail for the movie store, but more importantly, the boss has high pursuit of business and needs someone who can help him in business.

Zhu Youzi thinks he doesn't have the courage to do big business, so he can only help his boss deal with some unsightly things, but Qiu De is even different.

During this time, he opened his eyes to Qiu De even more, this guy is not a human, but a donkey!It's hard not to let people admire a donkey who picks and searches. After all, even if this kind of person doesn't get rich, then no one can get rich...
