Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 100 Chen Jiaju: Why are you here?
"Business?"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and nodded: "This is indeed a good entrepreneurial direction. Entrepreneurship is about solving customers' needs and problems.

As you just said, today's moving companies have bad attitudes and charge threatening fees, which actually makes many customers dissatisfied.

If there is a moving company that provides good service and doesn’t charge tea and water fees, would you choose them? "

"Of course!"

Ruan Mei nodded immediately, but quickly added:
“Just don’t make it too expensive!”

Then she asked curiously, "Brother Sheng, do you still want to open a moving company?"

Ye Dongsheng just smiled and said: "My current goal is to make the express delivery business bigger and stronger first!"

Although he said so, Ye Dongsheng had already made a note of the idea of ​​a moving company in his mind.

Hong Kong Island will have a 12-year real estate bull market in the future. With the rapid development of real estate, all its supporting industries will usher in a blowout period, and the moving business will naturally be no exception.

Hong Kong's moving companies are a mixed bag these days, with most ties to organized crime groups, and only a handful of truly professional ones can be counted. Many companies, leveraging their organized crime ties, carve up their own territory, offering poor service, and residents are forced to accept it.

Therefore, if you really want to expand your moving company in Hong Kong Island, you must first withstand the pressure from many community groups.

Even if some companies have strong professional skills and good services, they are unable to expand their business due to the pressure from various regional associations and may even be swallowed up by the associations.

In fact, the profit margin of moving business is definitely not high, 90% to % at best, unlike cross-border express delivery, where the profit margin can be as high as %. Moreover, the daily business volume is certainly not as large as that of express delivery, so the profit margin is not as good as that of cross-border express delivery.

However, the reason why Ye Dongsheng is concerned about this is that Dongfeng Express will definitely develop same-city business in the future, and the moving business is a good entry point.

It is true that cross-border express delivery can help Ye Dongsheng make money, but its influence is too small.

If you want to become a real boss, money alone is not enough; you must also have the corresponding social influence and the ability to mobilize resources.

Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, it will just be like a fattened pig, attracting hungry wolves who will eat it up sooner or later. Don't expect the law to protect you at this time!

Judging from Ye Dongsheng's current income, his annual net profit is over 100 million, which is higher than many large companies.

However, he has only a hundred employees under him, and at least half of them are still in mainland China, with only dozens of employees in Hong Kong.

Would a company with just a few dozen employees come across as a large corporation? Would it gain the attention of the Hong Kong government? How much say and influence would it have?

As the saying goes, "A million waterworkers depend on you for food and clothing." The truth is simple: when enough people rely on you for their livelihood, your social influence and voice will naturally increase.

For example, Fu Moukang, known as a "sweatshop," was invited to the Netherlands with various preferential conditions. Even the provincial leaders paid special attention to it.

why?
Because it provides at least 20 jobs and feeds 20 people! Behind it are 20 families!
Can we not pay attention to it?
Of course, this is not the big "Holland" with a population of hundreds of millions, but Hong Kong Island with only a few million.

In Hong Kong, if you have tens of thousands of employees, it's a big deal! Even the Governor of Hong Kong has to be polite to you!
One of the biggest advantages of the low-profit-margin same-city business is that it can support employees. Once it is established, the number of employees will rise sharply!
So when Ruan Mei mentioned the moving business just now, Ye Dongsheng was already interested. Now he would not be distracted by it, and would definitely focus on the express delivery business first to lay a solid foundation for making money.

But it’s always a good idea to understand and make a plan first.

Ruan Mei clasped her hands in front of her chest, her big eyes sparkling. "Brother Sheng, you're amazing! You can think of ways to make money off the top of your head!"

Ruan Mei joined the company before the opening, so in the past month or so, she has witnessed the entire process of Dongfeng Express's growth from nothing to a daily income of 5 yuan to the current daily income of 36 yuan.

The savings she had accumulated through hard work and frugality over the years were not as much as Ye Dongsheng's income in one day!

As a woman who is a bit of a money-grubber, Ruan Mei naturally has a lot of admiration for Ye Dongsheng in her heart!
Ye Dongsheng looked down at Ruan Mei, raised the corner of his mouth and said teasingly: "Are you a little in love with me?"

Ruan Mei's face flushed instantly, and she quickly shook her head, "No!"

"Hahaha, just kidding, don't take it seriously~"

Ruan Mei wrinkled her nose and muttered softly, "Brother Sheng, you are so narcissistic~"

Ye Dongsheng shrugged, looked at Ruan Mei and said, "It's better to be narcissistic than to be inferior. As a person, you should love yourself more!"

As he spoke, he pressed the electric fan on the table, but there was no response at all:

"Such a worn-out fan, why not just throw it away and get a new one? If others find out, they'll think I'm withholding your salary!"

Ruan Mei subconsciously said, "It can still be used after repairing it!"

Ye Dongsheng then pointed to the refrigerator and said, "I saw the leftovers in your refrigerator this morning, and they already smell. What if you get sick from eating them?"

Ruan Mei folded her hands and explained in a low voice: "No, it's been kept in the refrigerator. It won't go bad..."

Ye Dongsheng shook his head and sighed, "I don't want my CFO to have any sudden health problems because of this!"

Then he looked at Ruan Mei and said softly:

"Amei, you've moved into public housing now, and the rent is so cheap. The 6000 yuan a month I offered you isn't too low. Why are you still being so stingy and living so frugally?
Money is not saved, it is earned.

Life is short, be nicer to yourself in the future~"

Ruan Mei lowered her head in silence. While she was feeling conflicted, a warm feeling rose in her heart. Apart from her grandmother, no one had ever cared about her so much!

This made her feel an urge to confess to Ye Dongsheng that she had a heart disease.

She is so frugal and has been working hard to save money, not because she really loves money, but because she hopes that if she becomes ill and unable to work, she can rely on the money she has saved to sustain herself.

But he immediately suppressed the words when they came to his lips. If Ye Dongsheng knew, how would he react?
Sympathize with yourself? Or despise yourself?
Would he fire me? After all, my body is a ticking time bomb; who knows when it might explode? No boss would like an employee like that.

She was afraid that Ye Dongsheng would really fire her after he found out.

It's such a good job, the salary is high, the colleagues are all nice, and the boss is so caring towards her, she really doesn't want to leave!
Ruan Mei was struggling with whether or not to tell Ye Dongsheng about her physical condition...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, breaking the silence.

Ruan Mei turned around quickly: "I'll go open the door!"

Ye Dongsheng sighed as he looked at Ruan Mei's back, not knowing how much of his advice she had listened to today.

Ruan Mei originally thought that it was her grandmother who came back, but when she opened the door, she saw a big-nosed policeman standing at the door.

Chen Jiaju took out his police ID and said:
"Hello, Miss. I am Chen Jiaju from the Serious Crime Unit. I am investigating a case and would like to talk to you about some details. I hope you can cooperate! Thank you!" "Serious Crime Unit?" Ruan Mei couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Chen Jiaju nodded: "Yes, have you seen anyone acting suspiciously recently?"

Ruan Mei apologized, "Officer, I'm so sorry! I just moved here today."

"Just moved in?"

Chen Jiaju frowned and was about to ask again when a voice suddenly came: "Jiaju?"

Chen Jiaju looked into the room and saw a tall and handsome young man inside.

Now it was Chen Jiaju's turn to be surprised: "Ye, Ye... Boss Ye, why are you here!"

Ye Dongsheng came forward and waved his hand, saying, "We are all friends, there is no need to be so distant~"

Chen Jiaju looked at Ruan Mei, then at Ye Dongsheng, pulled him out the door, and whispered, "Brother Sheng, why are you here? Who is this girl..."

The look in Ye Dongsheng's eyes when he saw Chen Jiaju, told him that he had misguided thoughts:

"This is the financial officer of our company, Yueguang knows about it. I'm here to help her move today! Don't think too much!"

Chen Jiaju smiled awkwardly. Several guesses just flashed through his mind. He thought that if he raised a mistress, he would not be able to live in a public housing unit. He thought Ye Dongsheng was here to find a prostitute.

Some beautiful women in Hong Kong Island have no ability to make money, so they simply become prostitutes. This is not uncommon in Hong Kong Island. After all, being a prostitute is not illegal as long as you are not afraid of gossip from neighbors.

Chen Jiaju looked at Ruan Mei again. Such a beautiful female employee, no wonder the boss Ye Dongsheng came personally to help her move. Which man doesn’t have some improper thoughts?
Ye Dongsheng asked back, "Hey, Ka Kui, what are you doing?"

Chen Jiaju looked around, covered his mouth and whispered, "I'm investigating a kidnapping case!"

"Kidnapping?"

Chen Jiaju nodded and pointed to the side: "The little daughter of the couple next door has been kidnapped, and the criminals want 1900 million!"

1900?
Why does Ye Dongsheng feel that this number is so familiar?
Wasn’t his first pot of gold a few months ago just over 1900 million?
Then he shook his head. This definitely had nothing to do with him, but he seemed to have heard the number 1900 million recently...

At this moment, a middle-aged man came out of the next door and asked Chen Jiaju anxiously, "Officer Chen, will my daughter be in danger if I call the police?"

Ye Dongsheng looked at it and blurted out: "Radar dart!"

Radar Dart was also very surprised: "Mr. Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Dongsheng suddenly realized, no wonder 1900 million seemed so familiar, it turned out that the one who was kidnapped and extorted was the Radar Biao family, who had just won the 1900 million jackpot some time ago!

Chen Jiaju was surprised and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and nodded. "I met you once before when I went to buy a property. Let's not talk about that. Mr. Lei, what's going on with you?"

Radar Dart held his head in frustration and said:
"It's all my fault. I didn't listen to you, Mr. Ye, and didn't use the money to buy the villa. Hengfeng Bank went bankrupt, and not only did the 1900 million go up in smoke, but now my daughter has been kidnapped. Forget 1900 million, I can't even pay 19!"

The Reda Biao family has experienced great joy and great sorrow recently. First, they won the 1900 million jackpot, which was like a dream. The whole family was looking forward to a better life in the future.

Then the Hengfeng Bank where the family had deposited their money suddenly declared bankruptcy, and the 1900 million yuan was gone before it could even be used. The family's dream life was shattered, and the mood of the whole family plummeted to the bottom.

Unexpectedly, to make matters worse, his daughter was kidnapped again today. The robbers demanded 1900 million yuan and threatened to kill her if she didn't pay!
But the bank was bankrupt, so where would he get 1900 million? He had no choice but to call the police!
Radar Dart pleaded with Chen Jiaju:

"Officer Chen, you must help me! Don't let anything happen to my daughter!"

Now his wife has passed out. If something really happens to his daughter, he doesn't know how to face his wife in the future.

Chen Jiaju pulled Radar Dart and comforted him, "I will do my best to rescue your daughter!"

Ye Dongsheng thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Lei, do many people know that you won the lottery?"

Radar Dart was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Few people know about this. I didn't tell anyone to prevent relatives and friends from asking me to borrow money!"

"What about the neighbors? Does anyone know?"

Radar Dart quickly shook his head: "No, no! I kept it strictly confidential to them!"

When he was looking at the house at the beginning, he thought that the people there were all rich and powerful, and that they would look down on his money, so Lei Da Biao let down his guard and let Ye Dongsheng know.

"That's strange. How did the robber know you had 1900 million and quote the ransom amount so accurately?"

Chen Jiaju's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's right, Mr. Lei, who knew about your winning? You must think carefully. This must be someone you know!"

Radar Dart also hurriedly recalled:
"I've been keeping it a secret... No, there are actually a few people who know about it!"

Ka Kui quickly asked, "Who are they?"

"My sixth brother! He said he had cancer and wanted to reconcile with me, so I told him about winning the lottery. But..."

"But what?"

"My sixth brother is an employee of Hengfeng Bank. He was the one who persuaded me to deposit my money with Hengfeng. He should also know that the bank went bankrupt and I have no money left. He won't blackmail me for 1900 million!"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "He might have intended to make you lose 1900 million, but he shouldn't be the one who kidnapped you. Is there anyone else?"

Radar Biao looked at Ye Dongsheng and said hesitantly: "And, and there is you, Mr. Ye..."

However, Radar Biao quickly said, "Of course, Mr. Ye, you definitely wouldn't do something like kidnapping or extortion!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and shook his head: "My aunt, Yue Guang, and I all know it, but we haven't told anyone else. Jiaju, the three of us are also suspects for the time being."

Chen Jiaju waved his hand, not taking it seriously at all, and continued to ask, "Mr. Lei, who else?"

"Also, there's my eldest daughter's boyfriend, Xiaokouzu. My wife scolded him and sent him away a few days ago!"

Chen Jiaju and Ye Dongsheng looked at each other. This smiling ancestor was very suspicious!
Just at this moment, a short and fat figure walked out from the stairs. From a distance, he shouted to Radar Dart with a sad face:

"Uncle Biao, I heard something happened to Zhaodi?"
