Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss
Chapter 92: Parting with Li Jie
After receiving affirmative responses from several women, Thirteenth Sister asked them to leave.
After they left the office, Lu Yongqiang said, "Sister, I've asked around and found out that there are many people selling fake products on the market. The quality of the products varies, and the prices vary greatly. However, the ones that really sell well are not the ones with the lowest prices, but the ones with good quality and high prices.
For example, the pair of high heels in front of you, if they are genuine, would cost more than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, and good quality A-grade ones would cost more than 500 Hong Kong dollars.
Since the quality of my pair of shoes is better than those high-end imitations, the price should naturally be raised. It shouldn't be too much to sell them for more than 600 yuan, right?
The cost of this pair of shoes is only over two hundred yuan, and after deducting labor and rent, there is a profit of about three hundred yuan.
Sister, I know you own several shoe and clothing stores. How about this: I'll provide the goods, you run the stores, and we'll split the profits 50-50?"
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Thirteenth Sister did not agree immediately. Instead, she thought about it and said, "Qiangzi, this business is indeed a good business, but you can do such a good business on your own. Why do you want to cooperate with me? If you don't explain this clearly, I dare not cooperate with you."
After hearing what Thirteenth Sister said, Lu Yongqiang said, "Sister Sister, the customers of this kind of high-quality imitations are generally women. Rich women will not buy fakes because they can't afford to lose face. Poor women will not buy fakes either. After all, although fakes are much cheaper than the originals, they are still quite expensive for poor people.
Therefore, the customers who buy A-goods are basically those women who have some money and love to show off. And most of the women who beg for food from you, sister, are these women who have some money. They are all my potential customers.
I've calculated that there are at least 800, if not 1,000, women following you around for food. If only half of them could spend money in our shop, that would be 400 people. And since each of them doesn't need to spend much, just 5,000 yuan per month, that would mean 2 million yuan in sales per month. After deducting costs and expenses, the profit would be at least 1 million yuan. With a business with an annual profit of tens of millions, I'm naturally willing to work with you."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Thirteenth Sister remained silent for a long time. She was indeed shocked by Lu Yongqiang's words. In her opinion, although the A-grade goods business was profitable, it could only make a few million a year. However, according to Lu Yongqiang's calculations, the profit from her subordinates patronizing the store alone would be tens of millions. If other customers were counted, the profit would definitely double.
After a long while, Thirteenth Sister came back to her senses. She stretched out her hand and said, "Qiangzi, it's a pleasure to work with you!"
Lu Yongqiang reached out and shook hands with Thirteenth Sister, and the cooperation was settled.
After negotiating with Shisanmei, she renovated several of her stores, and Lu Yongqiang directly called Bingzai and asked him to produce one million products first.
While Lu Yongqiang was busy making money, Dong Si brought back an invitation that night. She said, "Next Saturday, there will be a jewelry collection show at the Jundu Hotel. You will accompany me and Gangsheng."
As soon as Dong Si finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was stunned. He took the invitation from Dong Si's hand, his face a little gloomy. When mentioning the Jundu Hotel, Lu Yongqiang thought of the plot of "The Last Dance".
He met Li Jie that day, and because he admired Li Jie's skills, he agreed to help him take revenge on impulse. However, after returning home, Lu Yongqiang regretted it. The doctor's gang was an international gangster, even more ferocious than the Big Circle Gang. Each of them had a long weapon, and their firepower was comparable to that of the army. Lu Yongqiang naturally did not want to risk his life with such people.
After meeting Li Jie that day, Li Jie was planning to follow Lu Yongqiang the next day, but Lu Yongqiang had already regretted it by then, so he fooled Li Jie a few words and then didn't let Li Jie come. After that, Li Jie called Lu Yongqiang several times and asked him if he had found any clues, but Lu Yongqiang just perfunctorily gave the answer and he didn't even ask anyone to check.
But now, because of the invitation that Dong Si brought back, Lu Yongqiang began to feel restless again. It was not because he wanted to avenge Li Jie, but mainly because the Russian royal jewels advertised on the invitation were so beautiful and worth hundreds of millions.
Seeing Lu Yongqiang looking at the invitation without saying anything, Dong Si pushed Lu Yongqiang and said unhappily, "What do you mean? Are you unwilling to accompany me and Gangsheng?"
Lu Yongqiang came back to his senses, threw the invitation on the table, and then said: “It’s not that I don’t want to go with you, but I can’t go at all.
I've received news that this batch of royal jewels has been targeted by a group of international criminals. The Cointreau Hotel will not be safe on the day of the party."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dong Si said suspiciously, "You don't want to go, so you made up a lie to scare me, right?
I heard the Regency Hotel spent a fortune hiring an internationally renowned security company for this jewelry exhibition. There are over a hundred security personnel alone. The jewelry display cases are not only equipped with safety locks, but also equipped with small bombs. If you don't know the combination to the safety locks and try to force the display cases open, the bombs will explode. With such tight security, what kind of international criminal would dare to steal these jewelry?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "I really didn't lie to you about this. I received news that the person who wanted to steal this batch of jewelry is an international gangster named Doctor. He is a wanted criminal in many countries, and all his men are desperate criminals."
Seeing that Lu Yongqiang didn't seem to be lying, Dong Si reluctantly believed him.
After considering it for a whole night, Lu Yongqiang decided to get involved. The next day, he called Li Jie and asked him to meet him in Tuen Mun.
After receiving Lu Yongqiang's call, Li Jie came quickly and arrived at the villa in more than an hour.
Lu Yongqiang took Li Jie to the study and said without beating around the bush, "I received news that the doctor has set his sights on a batch of Russian royal jewels. He might be in Gangcheng now, but I haven't found the specific address yet." As he spoke, Lu Yongqiang took out the invitation and opened it to let Li Jie see the pictures of the jewels.
Li Jie asked excitedly, "Boss Lu, you didn't lie to me?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "Of course I won't lie to you. I did receive news that a doctor has set his sights on this batch of jewels, but the doctor is very cautious. It's almost impossible to find him in a short period of time.
In my opinion, the best way is for us to keep an eye on the Cointreau Hotel. If something really happens on the day of the party, we will call the police directly and use them to avenge you.
Of course, if you want to take revenge yourself, you have to take some risks. We can hide in the hotel first and wait for the police to fight with the doctor's people. Then we can take advantage of the chaos to seek revenge on the doctor. "
There were some things Lu Yongqiang didn't say. He took the risk of hiding in the hotel not to avenge Li Jie, but to take advantage of the situation and see if he could get those royal jewels.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Li Jie hesitated for a long time before speaking, "I know about this party. Long Wei has also been invited. I heard that the party has invited hundreds of VIPs, all of whom are well-known celebrities in Hong Kong. If the doctor and his gang of thugs take control of the hotel first, I'm afraid there will be many casualties.
If you are sure that the doctor has set his sights on this party, should we call the police in advance?"
After Li Jie finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was stunned. After a long while, he said, "Li Jie, think carefully. If you call the police in advance, they will take action, which will definitely alert the doctors and their team. They may not show up then. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find any information about the doctors again."
At this point, Lu Yongqiang paused, then said: "Also, I don't have any solid evidence in my hand. If I call the police in advance, they may not take it seriously, but may cause trouble for me.
You know I'm a gangster, so if you want to call the police in advance, you can do it yourself. I won't show up. I don't want to deal with the police."
As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Li Jie said, "Boss Lu, since you received the news that the doctor wanted to rob this batch of jewelry, how come you don't have any evidence at all?"
Lu Yongqiang said somewhat unhappily, "If I say no, then no. Anyway, I've already told you everything I know. If you want to call the police, then go ahead and call the police."
Li Jie has too much sense of justice. This kind of person is a double-edged sword for Lu Yongqiang. After all, with Lu Yongqiang's identity, he has done many things that violate the law. If he really keeps Li Jie around, there is no guarantee that Li Jie will report Lu Yongqiang one day.
The meeting with Li Jie ended on a bad note. After Li Jie left, Lu Yongqiang was still obsessed with those pieces of jewellery. He thought about it at home and asked Dadong to drive directly to the GC Hotel in Central.
After Li Jie came out of the villa, he called the police directly on the roadside and told them that the doctor had set his sights on the jewelry.
However, the police did not pay much attention to the call, but just in case, they sent two plainclothes officers from the Central Police Station to the Cointreau Hotel.
Because there was no evidence, the police did not take it seriously, and the Cointreau Hotel took it even less seriously. After knowing the purpose of the two plainclothes officers' visit, a manager of the Cointreau Hotel came out and said a few perfunctory words before sending them away.
After calling the police, Li Jie returned to the villa of the famous star Long Wei. Just then, Long Wei was discussing the exhibition with his father and agent. They were discussing what to wear, and Long Wei, with a lewd smile on his face, was wondering if he could pick up any pretty girls that day...
Li Jie spoke with a heavy heart, "Ah Wei, Uncle, I'm afraid you can't attend this party. I've received news that a group of international gangsters have set their sights on those royal jewels and may attack on the day of the party. If you go, I'm afraid you'll be in danger."
