Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 50 Dongfeng Express, Mission Accomplished! (Please Read)
Next, Ye Dongsheng brought Yue Guang to watch Long Jiajun perform a drama of the king's return.

First, he took over the land that was the finale of the auction, and then Long Jiajun cleared out the rogues in public, such as sending his cousin who had been misbehaving in the company to Africa to develop new business.

The purpose of the Long Group holding this charity dinner was certainly not for charity, but to announce the return of the chairman who had been missing for a month, so as to dispel some gossip and rumors.

after this--

"I'm going to ask the most important woman in my life to dance with me for the first dance!"

The light followed Long Jiajun's steps and moved in front of a middle-aged woman...

Don’t get me wrong, of course it can’t be Eleventh Aunt!

Long Jiajun invited his mother to lead the dance with him, showing the harmony between mother and son. After all, Long's Group still had a lot of shares in Long's mother's hands, and rumors of a mother-son feud would be detrimental to the group's reputation.

After exchanging some greetings with the guests who came to toast him, Long Jiajun strode towards Ye Dongsheng and his companions with his wine glass raised.

As he approached, seeing Ye Dongsheng's calm demeanor, Long Jiajun asked, "Wow, boss, aren't you surprised at all?"

Ye Dongsheng shrugged. "I've already been surprised. And when I told you about my Dongfeng Express business plan the other day, you reacted so quickly, and you seemed to know everything. I knew you were something special!"

"You are worthy of being my elder brother! Hahaha!" Long Jiajun smiled and raised his glass to clink with Ye Dongsheng.

Then, Long Jiajun discovered that there was a figure hiding behind Ye Dongsheng, hiding and trying his best to reduce his presence.

Long Jiajun suddenly leaned forward, and Shiyigu quickly turned away. He then leaned over from Ye Dongsheng's other side, and Shiyigu quickly turned her back again.

Then Long Jiajun jumped over and ripped open the clothes covering Eleventh Aunt's face, grinning wickedly: "Tenth, First, Aunt!"

Eleventh Aunt, with a crooked mouth and cross-eyed look, stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm not Eleventh Aunt! You've got the wrong person! I'm not Eleventh Aunt!"

Long Jiajun stretched out his evil hands, pinched both sides of Eleventh Aunt's cheeks and pulled them outwards:
"Hehe! Stop pretending! I'd still recognize you even if you burned to ashes!"

Eleventh Aunt cried out: "What do you want to do!"

Long Jiajun's face was filled with excitement, and his hands moved in sync with his voice:

"Hit the head! Shoot the skull! Poke the eyes! Then chop it into pieces and throw it into the sea to feed the sharks!"

"No! Don't throw me to the sharks! At worst..."

Long Jiajun used Eleventh Aunt's special move to beat her until she screamed, and he just felt so happy at that moment!
But the next moment, Eleventh Auntie flirted with Long Jiajun and said, "It's no big deal. I'll do whatever you want~"

"Ah..." Long Jiajun shuddered all over, as if he had been hit by a critical hit. He quickly took a step back. He didn't expect that Eleventh Aunt had such a trick!
Ye Dongsheng couldn't stop laughing when he saw these two funny guys making people laugh around him.

After a while, Long Jiajun, who had already had enough, returned to his serious look and said to Ye Dongsheng with a smile: "Brother Sheng, come with me. I'll introduce you to some people!"

Ye Dongsheng's heart moved, and he thought to himself that the benefits that the fly mentioned were coming, so he immediately followed.

"Mr. Zheng, what a generous investment! $1 million to build a glass factory in Jinghai! This is the largest investment in the mainland so far, right?"

"Haha, so many parties contributed money, I just did it on behalf of the company! Nothing compared to you, Xie Sheng, who was so bold as to spend $5 million five years ago! Now your products are sold all over Asia, and you're making a killing!"

The purpose of attending such a charity gala is to network, and the group gathered here are all Hong Kong businesspeople who have invested in mainland China in recent years. After all, having invested money in mainland China, they must exchange information and learn about the latest developments in the mainland.

The middle-aged man surnamed Xie couldn't help but smile complacently when he heard this. The $5 million he made five years ago could be regarded as his most successful investment in recent years. It brought him rich returns and was often praised by people around him.

But then he sighed: "The mainland's policies are supportive, raw materials are abundant, land is cheap, labor costs are low, everything is good, except that transportation and communication are too inconvenient! Even if a phone is installed, it often disconnects. Sigh..."

The old man surnamed Zheng also nodded: "There's nothing we can do. The separation between us is like two different worlds. It's inevitable!"

The people around him all echoed.

"Everyone, let me introduce you to someone who can solve your problems!"

Hearing this, everyone made way when they saw Long Jiajun leading a handsome young man towards them.

Long Jiajun pulled Ye Dongsheng to the core of the circle and introduced:

"This is my good friend Ye Dongsheng, who specializes in express delivery between Hong Kong and mainland China. His company, Dongfeng Express, is also an important partner of our Long Group. From now on, all of Long Group's mainland China business will be in partnership with Dongfeng Express!"

Afterwards, Long Jiajun introduced everyone to Ye Dongsheng one by one: "This is Mr. Zheng, who led the US, China and Thailand to invest $1 million to build a float glass factory. This is Mr. Xie from Zhengda Kangdi. These are Sanyo, Keda, Huamei..."

Every time someone was introduced, the other person would raise his glass and greet Ye Dongsheng with a smile, and he would also return the greeting with a smile.

In such an occasion, Ye Dongsheng naturally wouldn't lose face by handing out business cards one by one, as that would only make people look down on him. However, he mentally memorized the names of these bosses and companies one by one.

Those who could attend Long Jiajun's charity dinner were basically upper-class people, and their investments in mainland China were not small. These people and their factories would be Ye Dongsheng's first batch of important customers!
At the same time, everyone was looking at Ye Dongsheng curiously. He had an extraordinary demeanor, and Long Jiajun was so enthusiastic in introducing him. I wonder who he was?
Although no one knows him, no one will underestimate Ye Dongsheng. Being able to do cross-border express delivery between two places and become an important partner of Long Group, he is definitely not an ordinary person!
After Long Jiajun finished his introduction, Boss Xie couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Ye, I wonder what Long Sheng meant when he said you can solve our problem?"

Ye Dongsheng looked around at everyone, raised a finger, and said with a faint smile: "One day! As long as it's not prohibited, I can deliver it from Hong Kong Island to your Jinghai factory in just one day!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the circle couldn't help but be surprised and began to murmur in low voices:

"One day?! How is that possible? I remember EMS taking at least ten days!"

"Even when I send my employees to deliver things, it's not that fast!"

"You still have employees to send you off, but when my company talks about going to the mainland, no one wants to go."

"I send someone over there, and not only do I have to pay all sorts of subsidies, but I also give them two days off when they come back!"

The elder named Zheng, whom Long Jiajun had just introduced, was particularly concerned. He couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Mr. Ye, are you serious?" Last year, he led a multi-party alliance with China, the US, and Thailand to invest $1 million in a float glass factory in Jinghai Shekou. The factory had just opened, and a lot of materials and documents needed to be sent to Jinghai frequently. They didn't have to send people there every day, but they did three or four times a week.

He also tried using EMS, but that thing was too slow and he couldn't afford to wait 10 days.

Now Ye Dongsheng suddenly said that he could deliver it in one day, how could he not be concerned?
Ye Dongsheng said confidently, "Of course it's true. Mr. Zheng, since I dare to say this in front of you all, I must be able to do it. Otherwise, I will destroy my own reputation. How can I survive in the Hong Kong business community in the future?"

Suddenly someone asked, "Mr. Ye, how could you deliver it in just one day?"

Ye Dongsheng smiled faintly, and acted mysterious: "Of course I have my own way!"

His attitude, coupled with Long Jiajun's praise for him, made everyone think at the same time that this person must have an impressive background and connections!
The old man surnamed Zheng glanced at Long Jiajun, then looked at Ye Dongsheng again: "Great! Mr. Ye has such ability, then our float glass factory is also willing to cooperate with your company!"

"And we have Zhengda Kangdi!" Boss Xie followed.

Seeing that the leader, the old man surnamed Zheng, and Boss Xie had already spoken, the others naturally chose to believe: "And we..."

Suddenly someone asked, "Mr. Ye, do you deliver to Yangcheng?"

Ye Dongsheng shook his head slightly: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry! Our Dongfeng Express has just been established, and currently only handles business in Jinghai. If our business expands to Yangcheng one day, we will definitely notify you in time!"

Ye Dongsheng then looked around at everyone and said, "Thank you all for coming! I'm grateful for Jiajun's kindness today, but I haven't made any preparations yet. I hope you will forgive me! Next week, our Dongfeng Express will officially open. You can read the news you're looking for in the newspapers in the next couple of days!"

"Okay! Mr. Ye, we are looking forward to your company! We wish you to take advantage of the favorable conditions and achieve great things!" As he said that, the old man surnamed Zheng smiled and raised his wine glass to clink with Ye Dongsheng.

At once, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate.

Afterwards, Ye Dongsheng gave Long Jiajun a look of gratitude and tactfully gave up his seat. After all, Long Jiajun was the protagonist today.

Ye Dongsheng was self-aware. He had just borrowed Long Jiajun's fame and influence to become the focus of attention. He was very satisfied with this. Dongfeng Express had already obtained its first batch of potential customers, and they were all major customers!

……

Public opinion and media have always been closely related to politics, and saying that they have no stance is bullshit.

By the 80s, most newspapers in Hong Kong were divided into three factions: the left-wing "pro-China faction", the right-wing "pro-Taiwan faction", and the centrist "pro-British faction".

The Commercial Daily, once considered one of Hong Kong's three major newspapers, was a right-wing newspaper. In 1984, after China and Britain finalized Hong Kong's return to China, the massive Commercial Daily simply closed down.

Its traffic is received by the financial newspaper "Sing Tao Daily" and the left-wing "Hong Kong Economic Times".

The Hong Kong Economic Journal is known for its in-depth analysis and independent stance, with a readership primarily comprised of business elites and investors. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Economic Times, with its left-leaning stance, frequently publishes news on mainland China's business policies and developments, making it a must-read for many mainland Chinese business owners.

Unlike other big bosses who readily invest tens or even hundreds of millions of yuan in mainland China, He Minggui invested only 200 million yuan to open a printing factory in Jinghai. With labor and factory space far cheaper than in Hong Kong, he has made a lot of money in the past two years, and therefore pays close attention to mainland China's developments.

When he woke up in the morning, he picked up the Hong Kong Commercial Daily on the table while eating breakfast.

Suddenly, He Minggui stopped chewing and fixed his eyes on the prominent advertisement in the newspaper:

"Express delivery from mainland China, 1-day delivery!
——Dongfeng Express, mission accomplished! "

Looking at the eye-catching "1 day" in bold black, He Minggui didn't even bother eating anymore and hurriedly swallowed his food. "1 day express?! Is this true?"

Then he hurried down to look carefully:
“Delivery area: Jinghai.

Package A: 1-day delivery, 200 yuan.

Package B: 3-day delivery, 100 yuan.

Note: The weight limit is 1 kg, and the overweight fee is 10 yuan per grams.

1 dollars in one day? 200 dollars in three days?
so cheap!

That's exactly what He Minggui was thinking. He knew the EMS fee, starting at $60, and the minimum weight was 1 jin (500 catties). But it would take 10 days to deliver!
Now, this Dongfeng Express only costs 1 yuan for one day, and it is even cheaper to 200 yuan for three days!
In the past, when He Minggui encountered some urgent matters or needed to deliver something to the factory, he would either pay extra money to have his employees go there, or even carry the items through customs himself and deliver them there personally. The cost of this trip was far more than 200 yuan!
If this is true, then he won't have to worry about most of the troublesome errands he encounters in the factory in the future!
But then the thought came to his mind: Is this true?

After all, even EMS takes 10 days to deliver, but how come Dongfeng Express suddenly appeared and shortened the time to one tenth, just 1 day!
He continued to read: "Our company's existing clients include: Long Group, Float Glass, Zhengda Kangdi..."

He Minggui couldn't help but be shocked. Long Group, Float Glass, and CP Group were all large enterprises or large factories with hundreds of millions of dollars invested in the mainland. They were simply not comparable to his small printing factory with only 200 million yuan!
If even these big companies are customers of Dongfeng Express...

He Minggui immediately showed excitement, it seemed to be true!

It just so happened that he had just received an order and was not in a hurry, so he could try to let Dongfeng Express deliver it for him once.

Thinking of this, He Minggui picked up the newspaper, walked to the phone, and dialed the number on the advertisement.

Hmm? Busy!

I called again, but the line was still busy.

He Minggui put down the phone and looked at the opening hours in the newspaper. It seemed that he would have to go there in person the day after tomorrow!

"Yes, sir, we will open the day after tomorrow, which is next Monday at 8 o'clock sharp! Please come back then! Thank you!"

Ruan Mei had just put down the phone when she heard the phone ringing again.

Ruan Mei pouted and secretly gave Ye Dongsheng a resentful look. She had clearly applied for a clerk position, so how come she was now a telephone operator?!

Ye Dongsheng was looking at the three newspapers in his hands, namely "Oriental Daily News", "Sing Tao Daily" and "Island Commercial Daily", each of which had an advertisement for their Dongfeng Express printed on it!

He spent 50 to buy two newspapers, "Sing Tao Daily" and "Island Commercial Daily", which are specifically for the financial and business people, plus the best-selling "Oriental Daily". This cost him and was for a month!
The effect is immediate. Didn’t you see that the little Jew’s throat was sore from answering the phone?
He looked at the names listed in the advertisement and smiled. Potential customers are still customers. They have met before anyway. As long as he can deliver the first order, these bosses will not mind his publicity in the advertisement.

Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind...opening!
PS: Dongfeng Express will officially open tomorrow, please follow me tomorrow!
