A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 170

1961 year 10 month 22 day,
The thirteenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar.

Suitable for: opening a business, collecting money, signing contracts, trading, meeting relatives and friends, coming of age ceremony, forming a network
It is a very auspicious day, and it is also a great day for the opening of Cao Zhihua Building Materials Wholesale Market.

This time, due to the participation of white-skinned high-level white gloves in the industrial chain alliance and the opening of the building materials wholesale market, the intensity provided by the Hong Kong government is completely different from the intensity given by the Victoria's Secret Club last time.

The Hong Kong Governor and other high-level officials of the Hong Kong government not only agreed early on that they would attend the opening ceremony, but early this morning, there were more than 200 licensed gangsters in the building materials wholesale market, wearing green police uniforms and patrolling the building materials wholesale market. security.

As for the security personnel arranged by Cao Zhihua, in addition to the 10 personal bodyguards, other security personnel of the company were equipped with pistols. They came to the scene early in the morning and were scattered in the dark to maintain order at today's opening event.

As Cao Zhihua's motorcade drove to the gate of the building materials wholesale market, the atmosphere at the scene became restless.

As if everyone knew that Cao Zhihua had arrived, the crowd moved towards Cao Zhihua.

The motorcade stopped at the gate of the building materials wholesale market, and the bodyguards quickly came to Cao Zhihua's car to protect it.

After Lou En saw the protection personnel in place, he opened the rear door and Cao Zhihua walked out of the car.

After getting out of the car, Cao Zhihua was full of joy and faced the member bosses who gathered around him. He made arrangements with his hands and kept saying:

"Boss Wang, today is a good day for us to open our business. I wish you a prosperous business and abundant financial resources."

Wang Fanghua from Beauty Walk saw the richest man in Hong Kong, Cao Zhihua, greeting her as soon as he got out of the car. He felt very polite. He smiled so much that he picked up a brightly blooming morning glory and said with his hands:

"Congratulations, Mr. Cao. I wish our industrial chain alliance will shine and unify Hong Kong Island."

Cao Zhihua smiled and nodded, then said to Shi Lei:

"Boss Shi, you look really happy today. I wish you great success and great success."

"Haha, all this is due to Mr. Cao's support. Without you, I would not be where I am today. Mr. Cao, I wish our industrial chain alliance will have prosperous business, sesame seeds bloom, and success."

"Boss Zhuang, is this your lover? Sure enough, it makes sense that once a person is excellent, the people around him will naturally be excellent. Today is a great day to open your business. I wish you great success and that your dreams will come true."

"Mr. Cao, you are so polite. If my dream can come true, it will be because of your support. You will be the noble person in my life. I wish our industrial chain alliance will unify the Hong Kong Island market as soon as possible, step out of the Hong Kong Island market, and be in the future world In the building materials market, there is a place for our industrial chain alliance."

Cao Zhihua was interested in this topic after all, and said very happily:

"Hahaha, the boss of the village will have to contribute to the alliance in the future. If our industrial chain alliance cannot become a giant in the world's building materials industry in the future, it will be a real pity."

"Boss Wang..."

"..."

The bad guy next to him, watching so many of the boss’s attentive supporters, Cao Zhihua, enter the market, said with envy:
"This bastard is the richest man in Hong Kong Island. His ostentation is bigger than ours, Brother Luo. I don't have to worry about whether I can bear such a big ostentation."

The colleague on duty next to him quickly said:

"Are you crazy? You want to die and I don't want to die. You dare to say anything nonsense. Do you know that people will die?

And although Brother Luo is also a big shot, he is still far behind the richest man in Hong Kong Island.

Whenever this richest man opens his business, he can arrange for more than 200 of our brothers to stand guard. Do you think Brother Luo has this ability? "

Another colleague next to him said obviously unhappy:

"Gao Zai, please don't talk nonsense here.

You don’t know how many families and people Mr. Cao’s company supports in North Point, and how high Mr. Cao’s prestige is in North Point.
Be careful if someone nearby hears it. Believe it or not, you won't be able to get out of North Point by then. It's all a problem. "

Gao Zai just made a complaint, which led to stern warnings from two colleagues. He was a little confused, and freedom of speech was not allowed?Angrily said to Charlie:

"Charlie, I remember you live in North Point, right?
Could it be that your family has been favored by the richest man? Do you speak to your brothers like this? "

Charlie looked at Gao Zai a little speechlessly and said:
"Gao Zai, if you don't want to listen, then brother won't say anything.
Believe it or not, all it takes for a person like Mr. Cao to look at you is to stop staying in Mong Kok and go directly to the New Territories to guard fishing boats.

Do you think it’s just my family in North Point that has received favor from Mr. Cao?

Hundreds of thousands of people in North Point have benefited from Mr. Cao, and they rely on Mr. Cao to support their families. If you don’t believe it, just keep trying. "

Uncle Wang, the older captain next to him, said:
"Okay, okay, you two don't talk anymore.

Gao Zai, everyone is doing this for your own good, but don’t be confused about what is good and what is bad. If they really want to ignore you, the brotherhood will weaken, and only then will you feel better.

Don't act like you're not afraid of anything all day long. It's not your turn to show off your authority on Hong Kong Island.

Believe it or not, even our Police Commissioner dare not show off in front of Mr. Cao, but you are a newborn calf and are not afraid of tigers.

Do you know that talking nonsense can kill people?
What you said just now is known by Mr. Cao, and our team will suffer the same fate as you, do you understand?

If you want to die, die on your own, don't drag us along with you, are you just pretending to be shit? "

When Gao Zai heard his captain speak so unpleasantly, he later realized that what he said had really been a big mistake, so he quickly shut up and didn't dare to say anything else.

Cao Zhihua and a group of people came to a five-story building in the building materials wholesale market.

This is the headquarters of the newly built industrial chain alliance, which is mainly responsible for monthly meetings and communication. It is really inappropriate to go to the Zhihua Industrial Park office building every time.

The member bosses of the Industrial Chain Alliance are usually in the wholesale market, running the business of their own flagship stores. If there is anything that needs to be communicated, they need to communicate.

The headquarters building is where everyone gathers quickly.

Of course, another important use of the headquarters building is that each member company can set up its own company office there.

This also saves each company a lot of office building rental costs.

Each flagship store in the building materials wholesale market is a two-story building. Standing at the fifth-floor window of the office building, Cao Zhihua has an unobstructed view of the entire market.

With full coverage of advertisements in newspapers, radio, television and other media on Hong Kong Island, this week's advance publicity has been very effective.

Watching more and more people pour in from the wholesale market and visit various flagship stores.

Cao Zhihua estimates that the transaction volume of this company in the Industrial Chain Alliance will not be low today.

The Industrial Chain Alliance has just been established, and it is a good time to seize the market. All the bosses agree that in order to enter the market this time, they will adopt the policy of small profits but quick turnover.
One week before the opening, all products are discounted by 85%, giving real profits to customers, and there is a grand opening promotion, which is a very normal opening activity.

It will not arouse the vigilance of fellow merchants. After the industry chain alliance washes away a group of customers in the market through opening activities,

Then, through the development of the franchise store model, the market for one's own goods will sink, and then more intense market competition will be launched. Through the huge sales network of the industrial chain alliance and the strong capital chain, it will compete with other material companies in the market to become popular. of hand-to-hand combat.

After this round of attacks, it is estimated that very few of the sales channels of other material companies on the market will survive.

The rest is to boil the frog in warm water through competition for market orders, and slowly wear these merchants to death.

Once most of the monopoly of the material market is completed, it is time to concentrate on PR development companies, construction companies and decoration companies.

Cao Zhihua is very confident in his plan, and he also knows that things will not develop exactly as he imagined, but as long as he grasps the major nodes and does not make mistakes, it does not matter if he makes mistakes in other small aspects.

Cao Zhihua stood by the window of the office, lost in thought, when Du Xinru knocked on the door, came in and said:

"The chairman, the governor, the director, and the director will be here soon."

After Cao Zhihua came to his senses, he said to Du Xinru:
"Inform the other bosses and let's go down to greet the Hong Kong Governor and others. The ribbon-cutting will be held soon."

"Okay, Chairman."

Cao Zhihua, who was leading a large group of people, had just arrived at the gate of the building materials wholesale market when he saw the convoy of the Hong Kong Governor and others just stopped.

So he walked over and said:
"Welcome the Governor of Hong Kong to the opening site of Zhihua Building Materials Wholesale Market. Your presence will make the opening site of our Zhihua Building Materials Wholesale Market flourish."

After the Hong Kong Governor got out of the car, he said with a smile:
“Our Hong Kong government will definitely support capitalists like Mr. Cao who love Hong Kong Island.

Only when more and more capitalists like Mr. Cao continue to invest in Hong Kong Island will our Hong Kong Island become more prosperous and better. "

"Haha, Mr. Hong Kong Governor praised me. Hong Kong Island is our home. As a member of Hong Kong Island, I definitely hope that the future of Hong Kong Island will get better and better.
When everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise. If everyone is willing to invest in Hong Kong Island, then the future of our Hong Kong Island will become better and better. "

After Cao Zhihua exchanged greetings with the Hong Kong Governor, he interacted with other senior officials of the Hong Kong government.

Among the crowds of people who came here to attend the opening of the building materials wholesale market.

Several imposing people in suits and ties were looking at Cao Zhihua and chatting.

"Detective Lan, I heard that you have a good personal relationship with Mr. Cao?"

When Lan Gang heard what Lei Luo said, he didn't take it seriously. Who hasn't ordered their own connections?

"I played with Mr. Cao several times. Mr. Cao's skills are good."

"I heard that Mr. Cao's security company's gun license was issued by Detective Lan, right?"

Lan Gang looked at Lei Luo with a half-smile and said:
"I don't have that much energy, and I wouldn't dare to apply for more than 500 gun licenses without the word from above."

Lei Luo felt a little annoyed when he saw Lan Gang doing Tai Chi for himself and not answering, so he had to continue:

"I heard that these bodyguards of Mr. Cao all came from the north and participated in the Northern War?

Is the Hong Kong government so confident about him? "

Lan Gang smiled and said pointedly:

"There is a famine in the north now, what advice does the Hong Kong government have on recruiting some bodyguards?
You must know that Mr. Cao is the richest man in Hong Kong Island worth billions, and his business has no connection with the north. Why do you think the Hong Kong government is worried? "

Lei Luo saw that Lan Gang kept circling around with him and did not respond to him directly, so he said decisively:
"I heard that the richest man rarely participates in social activities, but his friends speak very highly of him?"

Lan Gang didn't answer Lei Luo's criticism at all, and said seriously:

"Yes, Mr. Cao is nostalgic for old friendships and doesn't easily make friends. However, if his friends ask him for help, they will basically help him. Moreover, Mr. Cao has great energy. There are very few things in Hong Kong that he cannot handle."

Lei Luo looked at Lan Gang with complicated eyes. No wonder Lan Gang has been very active recently, jumping up and down. It turns out that this is certain, but no matter how much trouble Detective Hua makes, he always wears a pair of pants and is a person on a boat.
Lei Luo would not fall out with Lan Gang because of this matter.

Precisely because Lei Luo's own wife is also a platinum member of Victoria's Secret Club.

I usually have a lot of things to do, and as long as my wife asks the club to get some help, I can basically help me get things done.

Only the relationship between the white-skinned senior management, my wife and these white-skinned noble ladies, has never been able to integrate.

In other words, these white-skinned executives didn't take Inspector Hua like Lei Luo seriously at all and were not willing to accept him at all.

Therefore, Lei Luo especially hopes to make friends with Cao Zhihua, who is also Chinese.

Since Cao Zhihua was able to make friends with Lan Gang and make Lan Gang feel like a fish in water in the police station and rise steadily, he would naturally not reject himself, who is also Detective Hua.

Thinking of this, Lei Luo didn't want to play Tai Chi with Lan Gang, so he tested each other and said:
"It just so happens that my wave playing skills are pretty good. Could Detective Lan help me make an appointment with Mr. Cao to see if there is a chance to compete with Mr. Cao?"

When Lan Gang heard Lei Luo's words, he seemed to have heard a big joke and said funnyly:
"Inspector Lei, although we have both black and white in Hong Kong Island, and the underworld is tightly controlled by us,
You don’t think that because of this, a big shot like Mr. Cao would like Detective Hua like us, do you?

Except when collecting money, who among the top executives in Hong Kong will look at us?

We are just a group of dogs they raise. If we are honest and obedient, we will have bones to eat. If we are not obedient, we can be replaced at any time.

Why do you think Mr. Cao would be willing to discuss wave-fighting techniques with you? "

Lei Luo was asking for help and was not angry at Lan Gang's words. He said calmly:
"It is precisely because our Detective Hua's situation is very delicate. He seems to be very powerful in Hong Kong Island, but in fact he is in danger.

We have worked hard and worked hard for so many years. Our life and death depend on the thoughts of these white-skinned people. They can veto all our efforts with just one sentence.

That’s why we need to make more high-level connections and support from noble people. Only when we work together and help each other can we better protect everything we have now.

You see, you have Mr. Cao’s friendship and such a good resource, but you only focus on our current three-acre land. Isn’t it a waste of resources?

Why don't you introduce Mr. Cao to me, and let's work together to find a way to break the ceiling for us Chinese in the police force, so that everyone can have a better living environment, what do you think? "

Lan Gang's family is from a foreign comprador background, but he understands the thoughts of white-skinned foreigners very well.

So Lan Gang felt that Lei Luo was just having a whim, but Lei Luo had already said this, and if he continued to reject him, it would be a bit embarrassing, so Lan Gang said vaguely:

"Detective Lei, it's no use just talking. After you come up with a feasible plan to convince me, everything will be easy to discuss, okay?

And if I were really just staring at the one-third of an acre of land in front of me, based on my relationship with Mr. Cao, and just one word from Mr. Cao, I would have been in charge long ago, so you are overthinking it. "

When Lei Luo heard Lan Gang's words, his suspicious eyes flashed past and he said:
"Okay, I'll go back and think about it. I'll talk to you when I have a feasible plan."
