Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

The red license plate, as long as he sells it at the highest price of 14 million Hong Kong dollars in , he will instantly have more than billion Hong Kong dollars.

If he sells all the licenses at once, the amount could reach 12 billion.

Of course, if he had acquired another wave of taxi licenses in 89, Liu Xu estimated that the amount of profit he could have made could have reached billion Hong Kong dollars.

"Such a huge fortune should be enough for him to fully maximize his mental and physical attributes, right?" Liu Xu thought to himself.

After the introduction, Liu Xu first instructed Tian Yangsheng and Tian Yangyi to move all the license plates in the trunk of Handil into the antique shop, and then waved to Li Laifeng.

Li Laifeng immediately understood what he meant when he saw this. He quickly took out the drafted contract from his briefcase and handed it to Liu Xu.

"This purchase contract has been drafted and stamped with the taxi company's seal. It will take effect immediately as long as it is stamped with the seal of the Transportation Department and signed by both parties."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu took the contract from Li Laifeng and nodded with satisfaction.

After signing his name at the end of the contract, he looked at Handil and asked, "Mr. Handil, did you bring the seal of the Transportation Department?"

After hearing this, Handel quickly took out a small seal from his pocket, and then took out the prepared pen. After signing, he solemnly stamped the official seal on his name.

With the names of Liu Xu and Director Handel returned to their respective places, and the seal of the Transportation Bureau also placed on the contract, the transaction between the two was preliminarily completed.

Liu Xu first continued to instruct Tian Yang and the other man to move all the license plates in the antique shop into the storage room, and when no one was paying attention, he put them all into the system space.

Afterwards, he led Director Handel to the Citibank branch, took out a check from his pocket that was always ready for withdrawal, and filled in a huge sum of 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

After carefully checking and confirming that it was correct, Liu Xu gently blew away the ink on the check and slowly handed it to Handel beside him with a solemn and sincere attitude.

He expressed his sincere thanks: "Mr. Handil, thank you very much for your help over the past two days. This is your hard work fee. You can check it at the counter now."

Upon hearing this, Handel's face lit up with a brilliant smile, his voice filled with unconcealable joy and admiration:

"Oh, Mr. Liu, it is undoubtedly my greatest luck to have met you during the more than 20 years I have worked in Hong Kong Island. You are like my lucky star, lighting up my career."

Although Handel's words of praise were as beautiful as a fountain, he still walked steadily towards the counter with the check in his hand.

After confirming with his own eyes that the amount was genuine, the smile on his face became more sincere, as if every wrinkle on his face was telling of his cherishment of this trust.

Finally, under Handel's watchful eyes, Liu Xu used the antique shop's public account to pay the huge sum of HK$100 million needed to purchase 2,000 taxi licenses.

Without hesitation, he transferred the money to the account of the Transportation Department. Thus, the transaction between them was completely concluded.

Liu Xu gently patted Director Handel's shoulder, pointed his gaze toward the door of Citibank, and spoke with an unquestionable firmness in his tone:

"Mr. Handel, please. The amount of our transaction is so huge that I will feel uneasy if I cannot personally escort you back to the Transportation Bureau."

Handel was of course clear about Liu Xu's background: not only was he a Red Stick with consecutive wins and the underground king of Yau Ma Tei, he had even won the favor of the Alexander family.

He gave a thumbs-up without hesitation and praised sincerely: "Mr. Liu, I find that you are not only a generous gentleman, but also a knight with a strong sense of justice."

After personally sending Handel to the Transportation Bureau and watching him disappear through the door of the Transportation Bureau, Liu Xu slowly returned to the boxing gym with Tian Yang.

After returning to the office, Liu Xu waved his hand, signaling Tian Yangsheng and Tian Yangyi to go about their own business, leaving himself a quiet space.

Then, he took out all the taxi license plates from the system space and carefully stacked them in the corner of the office, like building a golden tower of dreams.

These license plates are more than just cold iron plates; they are the keys to becoming future billionaires and the mysterious seeds that breed wealth.

Liu Xu already had more far-reaching plans for these taxi licenses.

Before entering the 21st century, he would never sell these precious taxi licenses for a small profit.

However, Liu Xu will select 300 people from his subordinates and arrange for them to transform and join the taxi industry.

They also cleverly used their spare time to collect all kinds of information about Hong Kong Island for him, keep an eye on strangers in Hong Kong Island, and build a huge intelligence network.

As for the remaining 1,700 taxi licenses, he plans to provide opportunities for those who want to work in the taxi industry but lack the funds in the form of leasing.

To this end, he will set up a low-interest loan service as bait.

Attract more people to rent his company's licenses, so as to gain a steady and cautious foothold in the taxi market in Hong Kong Island.

After the 21st century, he will be able to use this as a basis to successfully take over the online taxi platform business in Hong Kong Island.

He had a long-term vision and understood the importance of timing. Before 1985, Hong Kong Island had not yet seen a surge in the number of immigrants and tourists.

The wealthy own private cars, while people with limited financial resources prefer to take the economical subway.

This has led to the taxi industry not receiving enough attention in Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, after deducting high costs such as fuel, maintenance, insurance and taxes, the monthly income of taxi drivers is difficult to break through the 4,000 Hong Kong dollars mark.

However, the wheel of history rolls forward, and after 1985, taxi drivers' income began to show an astonishing growth rate.

It doubled from 1984 Hong Kong dollars in to Hong Kong dollars, and by the early s, it had soared to an astonishing level of Hong Kong dollars.

Based on such prophetic conditions, he would initially set the rent at one thousand Hong Kong dollars, and then increase it year by year to rent out the 1,700 licenses in his hands.

That is to say, the rental price of his license was HK$1984 in 1985, HK$1990 in , and HK$ in .

Of course, the rent will not grow indefinitely. In Liu Xu's setting, when the rent increases to 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, it will no longer increase, but will always remain at this amount.

It not only guarantees its own profits, but also avoids the risk of scaring away potential tenants due to high rents.

In addition, he is well aware of the complexity of human nature. In order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of loopholes or evading responsibility, he personally arranged for his younger brothers to take over the management of those licenses that have stopped being leased.

This ensures that every license plate can achieve its maximum value, while also building an impenetrable line of defense for his taxi empire.

Of course, in 1989, he would still try to have friendly communication with the new director of the Transportation Department to see if he could get the license back during the other party's term of office.

There may be a lot of competitors by then, but he will still choose to try.

As for the security company, if his application still cannot be approved by the end of the year, it will not be too late for him to try to seek help from Deputy Commissioner of Police Galen.
