Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss
Chapter 28: Fooling Fatty Li
On the day of opening the incense hall, Lu Yongqiang got up early in the morning. He was wearing a silver-gray suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Lu Yongqiang is very handsome to begin with, and after dressing up like this, he doesn't look like a gangster at all, but rather a bit of a scoundrel.
The Zhongyi Hall of the Hung Hing was surrounded by crowds of people since morning. When Lu Yongqiang and his gang arrived, it was not too late, but people like Fat Lao Lai from North Point and Brother Ji from Sai Wan had arrived long ago.
Brother Ji, the leader of Sai Wan District, is a fence-sitter. He usually doesn't offend anyone and is good friends with everyone. When he was young, he was a ruthless person, but as he got older, he lost his ambition. Now all he does is gossip and look for girls. He now has a nickname called Blowing Water Ji, and he is not ashamed of it but proud of it.
Fatty Lai, the boss of North Point, mainly publishes pornographic magazines. He has no moral standards and is greedy for money. No matter who finds a way to make money, he wants to get involved.
When Chui Shuiji saw Dong Quan coming, he greeted him from afar.
"Brother Quan, this way, this way."
Dong Quan led the Tuen Mun group to Chui Shui Ji. Before Dong Quan could say anything, Brother Ji smiled and said, "Brother Quan, we haven't seen each other for a while. I heard that you and the Crows from Dongxing have been having some trouble recently. Do you need my help? If so, Brother Quan, just let me know. Chui Shui Ji will personally bring people to support you."
Basically, you can't trust what Chui Shuiji says. His words may sound nice, but if there is no benefit, even the leader Jiang Tiansheng can't command him.
Dong Quan just laughed at Chui Shuiji twice without saying anything, but gave Chui Shuiji a look that told him to understand.
Seeing Dong Quan's look, Chui Shuiji felt a little embarrassed. He patted Longlong on the shoulder and said, "Longlong, I haven't seen you for two months, and you've become stronger and stronger. Last time you promised to treat me to Thirteenth Sister's place, when are you going to fulfill your promise? How about tonight? Now that you've become a Red Stick, it's a good time to celebrate."
Chui Shuiji became more and more excited as he spoke. Without waiting for Dinosaur to speak, he hugged Dinosaur's shoulders and said to himself, "I heard that a group of foreign horses and black pearls from Africa have come to Thirteenth Sister's place. Damn... It's so exciting just thinking about it." As he spoke, Chui Shuiji let out a lewd laugh.
Just as Lu Yongqiang was watching the fun, Fatty Li unexpectedly came over. Lu Yongqiang originally thought he was looking for Dong Quan, but Fatty Li just greeted Dong Quan and then said to Lu Yongqiang, "Aqiang, the last time I saw you was half a year ago. I heard that you've been doing well in the past six months. You set up a snack street and earn hundreds of thousands of yuan every month. You're rich now."
Hearing Fatty Li say this, Lu Yongqiang's heart skipped a beat. This old guy might have set his eyes on the snack street business.
As expected, just as Lu Yongqiang was about to speak, Fatty Lai continued, "Ah Qiang, I'm planning to open a snack street in North Point. When are you free? Come and help me plan it out.
Don't worry, I, Lao Li, will not treat my brothers unfairly. When the snack street makes money, I, Lao Li, will give you a big red envelope."
Although Fatty Li spoke politely, his meaning was very annoying. The old man was not really asking Lu Yongqiang to help him with planning, but was telling Lu Yongqiang that he had taken a fancy to the snack street business and was ready to take a share.
Lu Yongqiang was annoyed, but he smiled and said, "Boss Li, since you are optimistic about the snack street business, instead of spending money to run it yourself in North Point, why don't you invest the money in me? Then you can sit back and reap the benefits. The profit should be no less than if you had put in the effort to run the snack street yourself."
After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Fatty Li became interested and said, "Aqiang, what exactly do you mean by this? How about telling me in detail?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "Boss Li, I've set up a company specializing in snack street projects. There are a lot of snack stalls on Bolan Street, right? After the company is established, our first project will be to build a snack street on Bolan Street. There's a lot of traffic there, so it's definitely more promising than your North Point."
After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Fatty Li said, "You said there are already many snack stalls on Bolan Street. If you still want to open a snack street there, can you make money?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "Boss Li, since you want to open a snack street, you should have been to my snack street! My snack street also sells various snacks, and it's no different from snack stalls elsewhere. So why does it attract so many customers every day?
Let me tell you, even though it's just snacks, there are so many tricks to it. If I can make my snack street in Bolan Street a success, I guarantee that all the other snack stalls will close down within a month."
Lu Yongqiang was not trying to fool Fatty Li, what he said was indeed the truth.
When Lu Yongqiang first opened the snack street, he simply gathered all the snack stalls on his territory together. He only had five streets and a total of more than 20 snack stalls.
In order to make money, Lu Yongqiang arranged for people to learn how to make various snacks. Not only the local snacks in Guanggang City, but also various foreign snacks. When he arranged for people to learn, Lu Yongqiang almost sold everything he had.
There are a total of 120 food carts, with almost 80 kinds of snacks. You can eat food from several Southeast Asian countries there. Just for this reason, it is unique in Hong Kong and it is hard not to attract people.
In addition to the wide variety of products, Lu Yongqiang also strictly controls the taste quality and hygiene. All snack carts are of the same specifications, and the stall owners all wear white chef clothes, which look clean and tidy. It is strictly forbidden for anyone to cheat or sell inferior products as good ones.
Now that he has established a good reputation, Lu Yongqiang is not afraid of others copying his approach.
After the snack street was opened, some people also set up snack streets by copying it. There were quite a lot of people who did so, but basically none of them could last long. For example, Siyan only set up a snack street, but it lasted for two months and finally he couldn't continue.
Dinosaur also did it in his own territory, but he persisted for a shorter time. He couldn't do it for less than a month.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Fatty Li thought for a moment and said, "Bolan Street is Thirteenth Sister's territory. Does she also have a share in this business? Has she already invested in your company?"
"I haven't had time to tell Thirteenth Sister about this." Lu Yongqiang explained: "Bolan Street is Thirteenth Sister's territory. If you want to do business on Bolan Street, of course you can't bypass Thirteenth Sister.
I think this way, I can do business in Thirteenth Sister's territory, and then I can just pay her protection money directly."
After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Fatty Li thought for a moment and said, "Aqiang, it does seem like something is possible now. If I want to invest, how much do you plan to let me invest, and how many shares will you give me?"
Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and said, "I registered the current snack street under the name of the company. The monthly profit of the snack street is no less than 500,000. I think it's not too much to ask for 5 million!
I also have the recipes for nearly a hundred kinds of snacks, a mature management team, and with my hard work, two million is not too much.
Adding all these together, even though my company is just a startup, it is worth seven million.
Originally, I was planning to invest two million yuan as start-up capital. If Boss Li is willing to invest, then you can invest two million yuan, and I will give you 30% of the shares. How about that?
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Fatty Li was still a little hesitant. Two million is not a small amount of money.
Seeing that Fatty Li was still hesitant, Lu Yongqiang said, "Boss Li, this is a sure-win business, why are you hesitating? Even if the snack street on Bolan Street doesn't take off, the current snack street alone can still make a profit of five to six million a year, and you'll almost have made back your money by then.
If I wasn't short of money right now, and if I hadn't gotten along well with you, Boss Li, I wouldn't have let you invest in such a good business."
After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Fatty Li still didn't agree. He said, "Aqiang, two million is not a small amount. I'll think about it and give you an answer."
Seeing that Fatty Li did not agree, Lu Yongqiang was somewhat disappointed.
Although he got more than two million from Dinosaur and Four Eyes, he only gave 500,000 to his younger brothers, and gave 100,000 each to Poison Scorpion, Lu Yongheng, and Dadong. Later, he gave tens of thousands to Haozi and Huangmao. Old Dog and his men also took away tens of thousands. Lu Yongqiang now only has about one million left.
Lu Yongqiang wanted to steal the old vegetable market renovation project from Sihai Construction Company. The one million yuan he had now was definitely not enough, so he tried to scam people out of money.
As time passed, more and more people came, and almost all the leaders of the twelve Hongxing gangs had arrived.
The leader and uncles have all entered the Zhongyi Hall, and all the younger brothers are waiting outside. The auspicious time has not arrived yet, but when it arrives, the incense hall will be opened and everyone can go in to watch the ceremony. Of course, some people with lesser status can line up at the front, while people with no status can only watch the excitement at the back. With so many people coming, many of them are just waiting to eat and drink for free.
After going through the whole process, it was already past one o'clock, and then it was time for the banquet. The money for the banquet was not paid by the society, but was shared equally by people like Lu Yongqiang who had just started their jobs.
In order to get a job, he set up a buffet with hundreds of tables. Although there were no sea cucumbers or abalone, there were a lot of fish and meat. When the bill was finally settled, each person had to pay more than 50,000 yuan, which made Lu Yongqiang feel a little sad.
After all, getting a job was a happy occasion. That night, Lu Yongqiang treated his younger brothers to a meal, and after spending tens of thousands of yuan, Lu Yongqiang finally understood why they were still so poor even though they became the boss. There were so many places to spend money.
The next morning after the incense hall opened, Lu Yongqiang was still sleeping when Dong Quan called and asked him to go to his villa.
Lu Yongqiang did not delay. After packing up, he went straight to Dong Quan's villa.
As soon as I entered the villa gate, my sister-in-law Dong Si was waiting in the garden again.
Dong Si walked up to Lu Yongqiang and put his arm around him.
Lu Yongqiang shook his arms, but he didn't expect Dong Si to hold him so tightly that he couldn't get rid of them. Feeling the softness on his arms, Lu Yongqiang felt a little distracted.
Dong Si is already beautiful, and she is also the eldest sister-in-law. Lu Yongqiang has been able to endure until now without falling into the beauty trap, which shows that he has great determination.
Lu Yongqiang glanced at Dong Si and said, "Sister-in-law, this is not good, right? Please pay attention to the impact."
Dong Si hugged Lu Yongqiang's arm tightly, chuckled and said, "Now you know to pay attention to the impact. Why didn't you think about paying attention to the impact when you climbed into my bed before?" As he said that, Dong Si pinched Lu Yongqiang's arm hard.
"Ouch!" Lu Yongqiang cried out in pain: "Sister-in-law, I don't like what you said. When I climbed into your bed, there were no outsiders around. But it's different now. Everyone is watching us!" As he said that, Lu Yongqiang pulled his arm hard again.
But he still couldn't pull his arm out, so Dong Si hugged Lu Yongqiang's arm tightly and said, "Tyrannosaurus has been dead for more than half a year. Now we are both unmarried, so everyone can see it.
Ah Qiang, you said you wanted to marry me before, you weren't lying to me, were you? Or, now that you have me, my sister-in-law has no appeal to you anymore?"
As Dong Si spoke, she leaned her head towards Lu Yongqiang's ear. After she finished speaking, she actually blew gently into Lu Yongqiang's ear.
Lu Yongqiang shuddered. The ears are the sensitive point of the body. Dong Si's actions really show that he can control people.
Lu Yongqiang pushed Dong Si away violently, took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, don't play with fire and get burned. My patience is limited. When the time comes..."
Seeing Lu Yongqiang like this, Dong Si chuckled, lifted Lu Yongqiang's chin with her finger, and whispered, "When the time comes, no matter what you want, sister-in-law will follow you, okay?"
Seeing Dong Si teasing him like this, Lu Yongqiang's heart beat uncontrollably. He widened his eyes and clenched his fists. Just as he was about to take action, Dong Si suddenly turned around, strode away without looking back, and left a sentence: "Aqiang, Uncle Quan is waiting for you in the study, hurry up and go over there!"
Looking at Dong Si's receding figure, Lu Yongqiang gritted his teeth. He really wanted to rush forward and kill this woman who dared to provoke him right there and then. She was so damn tempting...
However, after taking a few deep breaths, he finally suppressed his impulse, tried to calm his excitement, and then walked towards Dong Quan's study.
Dong Quan was leisurely brewing tea in his study. When he saw Lu Yongqiang coming, he smiled and gestured to him, asking him to sit down first. Then, Dong Quan personally poured a cup of tea for Lu Yongqiang and said softly, "This is top-quality Tieguanyin. Come, try it and see how it tastes."
Lu Yongqiang picked up the teacup and drank it without hesitation, then casually commented, "Well, it tastes okay! But by comparison, I still prefer to drink sugar water. Godfather, how about when I come over next time, you ask Aunt Liu to prepare sugar water for me?"
