Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Jiang Tianyang said, "Aqiang, because many of the venues have run into problems, I discussed it with Ayao and decided to give up the nightclub business.

But these nightclubs are community businesses after all, and are the foundation of the uncles. If they are closed down like this, it will be difficult to explain to the uncles and the brothers. After these nightclubs are closed, the livelihoods of the brothers who previously ran the venues will be difficult to arrange.

So I discussed it with Ayao, and I'm afraid that Aqiang and you will have to take over these nightclubs... What I mean is, whoever owns the nightclub will take over."

As soon as Jiang Tianyang finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang felt bad. Take the several nightclubs in Tuen Mun as an example. Almost none of them can make money. They are definitely non-performing assets. From what Jiang Tianyang said, it seems that the society is ready to dispose of these non-performing assets, but they are not going to pay the price. Instead, they want everyone to be the scapegoats.

Jiang Tianyang went to Lu Yongqiang to discuss things, obviously wanting Lu Yongqiang to be the first to take action. This was simply bullying.

Seeing Lu Yongqiang keeping his head down and not saying anything, Jiang Tianyang said, "Aqiang, don't worry. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss. I have some connections in Thailand. Aqiang, your food company is planning to expand into Thailand, so I can help you open up sales channels."

In fact, Lu Yongqiang's food company's products had already established sales in several Southeast Asian countries and were even exported to many parts of Europe and the United States. The problem currently hindering the food company's development was not sales, but rather insufficient production.

But what Jiang Tianyang said could barely be considered an exchange of interests, and it was considered giving Lu Yongqiang enough face.

The new leader had just taken office, and Lu Yongqiang didn't want to offend him for such a small matter. After Jiang Tianyang finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang said, "Since Mr. Jiang said so, then of course I have no problem with it. During the meeting, I will take the lead in supporting Mr. Jiang's decision."

The reason why Jiang Tianyang informed Lu Yongqiang first was because he was afraid that Lu Yongqiang would take the lead in opposing it and embarrass him. After all, this was the first big thing he did after becoming the leader. If something went wrong, Jiang Tianyang would be humiliated.

After Lu Yongen finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Chen Haonan. Seeing that the handsome Nan was flirting with the stuttering boy, he said, "Mr. Jiang, whoever owns the nightclub will take it over. It's no problem for me, but I'm afraid that Causeway Bay and Bolan Street will be a bit difficult to handle, right?

You're asking everyone to grit their teeth and eat this losing business, but not everyone gets the profit. This isn't about scarcity, but about inequality. Some people are losing out, while others are profiting greatly. I'm afraid many people will be unhappy."

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Yao, who was on Jiang Tianyang's other side, spoke up, "Aqiang, I've discussed this with Mr. Jiang. The club's three bars and two nightclubs in Causeway Bay, as well as the two nightclubs on Bo Lan Street, are all up for auction. All the club leaders can bid, and the highest bidder will win."

As soon as Chen Yao finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was stunned. This was a good thing for others, but it was a big loss for Chen Haonan and Thirteenth Sister, especially Chen Haonan, who suffered the greatest loss.

There are a large number of nightclubs in Causeway Bay and Portland Street, and the competition is quite fierce. Not every one of them can make money, but the society has a natural advantage in operating nightclubs. Other people's nightclubs may lose money, but the ones operated by the society will definitely make money.

Take the several Hongxing brothels in Causeway Bay. While their decor isn't particularly lavish and their operations lack distinctive features, they never lack business. Firstly, they have the support of the gang's thugs. Secondly, they enjoy a geographical advantage, lacking direct competition. Thirdly, they have dedicated staff to solicit customers for these brothels. For example, the gang's taxi drivers will directly take out-of-town customers to the brothels.

The police's crackdown has indeed had a significant impact on the community's operations, causing a significant drop in income in some areas. However, the venues in Causeway Bay and Port Lan Street are still able to make money.

Many people are jealous of these places. If they are really put up for auction, there will definitely be many people willing to bid. Thirteenth Sister should be able to buy the place on Bolan Street with her own financial resources and spend more money, but Chen Haonan will be in for a lot of fun. With Chen Haonan's current financial resources, he is lucky to be able to buy one place. If the others are bought by others, he will lose a lot.

Liu Wei doesn't have much talent in making art films, but he can make commercial films. The quality of his newly released film is much better than his first one. In addition, the box office market is bigger than before. The box office of this new movie on the first day of its premiere was as high as four million. This is not the box office for the whole day, but just for most of the day.

After the box office figures for the premiere came out, not only director Liu Wei was in the newspapers, but also the two investors Lu Yongqiang and Fei Lao Li.

Lu Yongqiang's situation is okay. He is reported in newspapers and news from time to time, and he is used to it.

But it’s different for Fat Lao Li. Even though he has his own magazine, this is the first time that his work has appeared in a newspaper.

It happened that the next day was the day of the Hung Hing meeting, and Fat Lai came to the Zhongyi Hall with a large bundle of newspapers for the meeting. As long as there was a photo of him in the newspaper, no matter whether the newspaper was famous or not, Fat Lai would buy ten or so copies.

After arriving at Zhongyi Hall, Fatty Li was like a newspaper boy, handing out copies to everyone he met.

Everyone looked at Fatty Li's excitement, some made jokes, some secretly curled their lips, but many people gathered around Lu Yongqiang, like Da Fei and Zhang Shun. The two of them stayed close to Lu Yongqiang and kept asking him to give them a chance and let them have a share in the next movie.

After Zhang Shun learned the truth of what happened, his relationship with Lu Yongqiang eased a lot, and he even went to apologize in person.

It's hard to say who was right or wrong about what happened back then. Zhang Shun's transfer to Fatty Li was something Lu Yongqiang agreed to. Now that Zhang Shun has made a clear gesture, Lu Yongqiang will naturally not bring up the past.

Later, Lu Yongqiang introduced the red wine business to Zhang Shun. Although Lu Yongqiang looked down on this business, for Zhang Shun, it was a real profit of tens of millions every year. With such a great benefit, he naturally had a great favor for Lu Yongqiang. As a result, their relationship became much closer.

Jiang Tianyang was not like Jiang Tiansheng who liked to arrive at meetings on time. He always asked everyone to wait for him. Jiang Tianyang came to Zhongyi Hall early, and when he arrived, the leaders had not yet arrived.

Jiang Tianyang is different from Jiang Tiansheng in one aspect.

Every time Jiang Tiansheng held a meeting, in order to make himself appear approachable, he would chat and laugh with the leaders one by one, ask about everyone's recent situation, and make a few jokes.

To be honest, many people were actually unhappy with Jiang Tiansheng's showmanship, like Lu Yongqiang, who didn't want to come to the meeting because he didn't want to deal with Jiang Tiansheng's hypocritical face. Then there were people like Xiyan and Ma Wangjian, who always responded to Jiang Tiansheng's conversation with "hmm" and "ah" responses, being very frugal with their words.

Only that fence-sitter Ji Ge is Jiang Tiansheng's best supporting actor. No matter what Jiang Tiansheng says, Ji Ge can prevent Jiang Tiansheng from saying anything.

Jiang Tianyang also likes to chat and laugh with everyone, but he is different from Jiang Tiansheng. He doesn't put on airs like Jiang Tiansheng. When he chats and laughs with others, he always has a smiling face, which always makes people feel hypocritical.

When Jiang Tianyang was joking with others, he would interact with you from time to time, occasionally putting his arm around your shoulders, or taking out a cigar and throwing it to you. His facial expressions also became more expressive, and he would laugh from time to time. Anyway, Lu Yongqiang didn't mind chatting with Jiang Tianyang.

Lu Yongqiang was chatting happily with Dafei and Zhang Shun. Jiang Tianyang put his arm around Lu Yongqiang's shoulders and asked with a smile, "You guys are talking so excitedly. What big plans are you discussing to make a fortune?"

Da Fei said casually, "There's no such thing as a big plan to get rich. Ah Shun and I are begging Brother Qiang to help us get rich. When he invests in the next movie, Ah Shun and I can get a share of the profits."

"Are you talking about movies?" Jiang Tianyang looked at Lu Yongqiang, then continued, "Speaking of movies, I heard that many people from Xinji have guest roles in movies, and that Wan Chai Tiger even played the male lead. Many people say that he is the most manly gang leader in Hong Kong.

Ah Qiang, you are so handsome, why don't you play the leading male role yourself? If you go to make a movie, you will definitely be a big hit, much better than that Tiger of Wan Chai. "

Xinji puts the focus of its development on the entertainment industry. Xu Huayan, the leader, takes the lead in guest starring in the crew, which changes the direction of the entire society. Now all the leaders of the society, big and small, have gone to the crew to guest star, and some have even directly become the male lead.

When filming gangster movies, they organized hundreds or even thousands of dwarf mules from the gang to act as extras, which was a first in the history of gang development and provided a way for the dwarf mules from the gang to make extra money.

After Jiang Tiansheng finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang shook his head and said, "Forget it. I have so much to do in the company, how can I have the time to make a guest appearance?

Mr. Jiang, if you are interested in this, I can ask the screenwriter to tailor a role for you, and then you can play it for fun."

Lu Yongqiang had been joking, but Jiang Tianyang took it seriously. After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, he asked with great interest, "Aqiang, is this really possible? It won't be too much trouble, right? If it's too much trouble, forget it."

Seeing Jiang Tianyang's interest, Lu Yongqiang was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal. If Mr. Jiang is really interested, I will arrange it after the meeting. I will ensure that Mr. Jiang has a brilliant role."

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Jiang Tianyang gently hit Lu Yongqiang's chest with his fist, and then said, "Okay! It's settled. I must be given a better role."
