Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Lu Yongqiang's words stunned Guanchaiba. He looked the pretentious criminal up and down before waving his hand and saying, "Baoqiang, did you hear what Mr. Lu just said? Why don't you go buy a copy of the Economic Herald?"

In fact, the reason why Lu Yongqiang was able to appear in this magazine was not because the magazine took the initiative to interview Lu Yongqiang, but because Lu Yongqiang used his connections to get the interview.

As for the reason for using connections to request this interview, it was because a British multinational company had taken a fancy to the catering company owned by Lu Yongqiang. This British company wanted to acquire Lu Yongqiang's catering company, was preparing to integrate resources, and then listed the catering company.

As the valuation of the catering companies under Lu Yongqiang's name has become higher and higher, three large groups have followed suit in the past year or so. Whether it is the business model or the categories sold in the food city, they are almost the same as Lu Yongqiang's.

However, Lu Yongqiang has always won by taste. After he took the lead, his customers were very sticky. In addition, he also developed a professional food delivery team and organized a recharge reward activity in advance. He could not only provide high-quality services that others did not have, but also trap other people's funds in advance.

So after the emergence of three competitors, the impact on Lu Yongqiang was actually not that big. On the contrary, in order to compete for customers, these competitors promoted the industry extensively and organized various activities, which heated up the industry, which was equivalent to expanding the market.

On the contrary, Lu Yongqiang's business in all major branches has skyrocketed again in recent times because of the guaranteed taste and high-quality service.

Perhaps it was because the business was so good that it attracted the attention of large foreign capital, which was preparing to acquire Lu Yongqiang's catering company.

Lu Yongqiang actually had no intention of selling the catering company, but this British company acted like it had plenty of money and acted like a sucker to seduce Lu Yongqiang, as if as long as Lu Yongqiang was willing to sell, they would be willing to let Lu Yongqiang make a killing.

Since someone offered money to his door, Lu Yongqiang was naturally tempted. However, since the other person acted like a rich man, Lu Yongqiang would not be polite. He planned to hype up the company to make it more famous so that he could sell it for a good price.

Using his connections to get an interview with the Economic Herald magazine was Lu Yongqiang's first step in hyping up the market. After that, Lu Yongqiang also planned to ask Tong's International Group to join the market and let Tong's International Group raise the price.

There was a newsstand near the Central Building, which happened to sell the Economic Herald magazine, so Baoqiang came back in less than ten minutes.

It is exactly as Lu Yongqiang said, the cover character of this issue of the magazine is Lu Yongqiang.

Looking at the domineering look of Lu Yongqiang in the magazine, Guan Caiba had to compare it with the magazine several times. The main reason was that the face in the magazine did look like Lu Yongqiang's, but his eyes and temperament were completely different.

Lu Yongqiang now looks like a nobleman, a bit harmless, but the man in the magazine, with his sharp and domineering aura, is particularly in line with the temperament of a gangster.

Seeing the doubt in Guanchaiba's eyes, Lu Yongqiang gently took off the gold-rimmed glasses on his eyes, then unbuttoned one more button of his shirt, half revealing his bulging chest muscles.

Afterwards, Lu Yongqiang put away the gentle expression on his face, put on a stern look, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. His eyes also became cold. With such a simple change, Lu Yongqiang's whole temperament immediately changed drastically. He was just like on the cover of the magazine, full of dominance.

After his temperament changed, Lu Yongqiang said in a cold voice: “Mr. Guanchaiba, there should be no problem now, right?

To be honest, although I don't hate the harmful things you, Mr. Guanchaiba, are running, I don't want to touch them either.

The reason why I decided to meet Mr. Guan today was because Shouhou said that Mr. Guan was a generous person and that he and Brother Baoqiang got along quite well.

He is both my brother and my right-hand man. He has made considerable contributions to me over the years. This time he asked me for help, so I agreed to meet with Mr. Guan.

If Mr. Guan doesn't plan to meet me, then he can just not agree. But if he agrees, and then keeps doubting my identity, isn't that a bit bad?"

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Guanchaiba put down the magazine in his hand and apologized, "Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry. I was indeed rude just now. It's mainly because your temperament has changed so much, Mr. Lu, it always gives me a feeling that it's not real."

Lu Yongqiang continued in a cold voice, "No need to apologize! Mr. Guan must be very busy recently, and I have a lot to do too. Mr. Guan, let's talk business, shall we?"

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Guanchaiba leaned back in his chair, his expression changing. He grinned, chuckled, and then said, "Indeed, we are both very busy. Let's get down to business and not waste each other's time."

"Mr. Lu, I heard from Bao Qiang that this skinny monkey brother is interested in cooperating with me. I wonder if this is a private decision made by the skinny monkey brother, or if he is representing you, Mr. Lu. Is it you, Mr. Lu, who want to cooperate with me?

If it is Brother Shouhou who decided this privately, then forget about this cooperation. I am not looking down on Brother Shouhou, but it is just a small matter. I cannot give Brother Shouhou much discount. Not only will there be no discount, but I may even have to raise the price.

As for the reason, Mr. Lu is so smart, he should understand that the cost of opening up a complete transportation line is not a small amount. If it is not a big business, I don’t know how long it will take to get my investment back.

Of course, if Mr. Lu is interested in cooperating with me, I can offer a preferential price that is 10% lower than the market price, ensuring that Mr. Lu has sufficient profit margin."

After Guan Caiba finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was silent for a while, then said, "Mr. Guan, what if I don't need you to deliver the goods?"

"You won't let me deliver the goods? Mr. Lu, I don't know what you mean by not letting me deliver the goods. Should we trade directly in the Golden Triangle?" Guan Caiba asked with some confusion.

Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "Yes! I mean to trade in the Golden Triangle, and not with me. Then someone will naturally come to Mr. Guan with real money. I just hope that Mr. Guan can give me a better price."

"There's one thing Mr. Guan needs to remember: I, Lu, never touch anything harmful to others. I never did before, and I won't do it in the future.

But Mr. Guan, you can rest assured that the transaction will be conducted in your place with real money, and you don't have to worry about me playing any tricks.

Of course, those who have just arrived in the Golden Triangle are not as familiar with the area as Mr. Guan is, so I hope Mr. Guan can help take care of them."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Guanchaiba looked at Lu Yongqiang thoughtfully for a long time before he said, "If you don't need me to deliver the goods, I can give you another 10% discount on the price.

Mr. Lu, this price is my greatest sincerity. I wonder how much goods you are going to order?"

Lu Yongqiang held up three fingers and said, "Three tons! I need at least three tons of goods a year, but this is our first cooperation and we don't trust each other enough yet, so for this first year's goods, I need to pick up the goods in three installments. The first time is half a ton, the second time is one ton, and the third time is one and a half tons.

If we have a good cooperation in the future, there is room for this quantity to increase, and I can take on four or five tons."

Hearing Lu Yongqiang asking for three tons of goods, Guanchaiba's breathing immediately became a little rapid. He took a deep breath and then said, "When will Mr. Lu plan to order the goods?"

Lu Yongqiang said, "If it's convenient for Mr. Guan, I naturally hope to get it done as soon as possible. Mr. Guan, you can rest assured about the funds. I, Lu, don't have much, but I have a lot of money."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Guanchaiba fell into deep thought. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Mr. Lu, I have some personal matters to deal with recently. I'm afraid it will take me a month or so. How about we set the transaction in a month? Is that a convenient time for you?"

Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "It doesn't matter to me, let's set the transaction for a month later.

When you are almost done with your personal matters, we can meet again. I will introduce someone to you, Mr. Guan. Then how and where you will deliver the goods will be decided by you two. I will not ask you any questions."

After finishing the business, Lu Yongqiang didn't stay long. He said hello to Guanchai Ba and then left with his men.

After getting in the car, Skinny Monkey couldn't help but ask, "Boss, before you came here, didn't you say you were just going to meet Guanchai Ba? How did you actually start talking about business? Are we really going to do that kind of business in the future?"

Lu Yongqiang exhaled a breath of air, and then said unhappily: "What's wrong with you? Based on your understanding of me, do you think I would really touch that thing?

The reason I said this today is just to help those two cops."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Shouhou couldn't figure it out. He asked in disbelief, "Boss, you only said a few words, but I don't see how this can help Chen Sir and Xiaohua. Are you just saying this to take credit?"

Lu Yongqiang glared at the skinny monkey and said, "You and that Ah Hui haven't even started dating yet, so why are you so obsessed with her? Where's your usual smartness? Why are you so confused this time?"

"Let me ask you, does Guanchaiba have half a ton of goods on hand right now?"

The skinny monkey shook his head in agreement.

Lu Yongqiang continued, "I want three tons of goods. Although the price is 20% lower than the market price, I don't need them to deliver the goods. Am I considered a high-quality, large customer? Can this deal be done? Is it profitable?"

If you were Guanchaiba, would you give up such a big client like me?"

This time, the skinny monkey spoke. He thought for a moment and said, "Although the price is 20% lower than the market price, since we don't have to deliver the goods, we don't have to face various risks. This business is not at a loss and is indeed very profitable. And the boss asked for three tons of goods. He is indeed a high-quality customer.

If I were Guanchai Ba, I would definitely not give up such a client."
