Hong Kong General: Hongxing 49 Zai, step on Liang Kun to get a job

"Boss, this is unnecessary. Who dares to object to our Hongxing's reputation?"

Greyhound was somewhat reluctant.

"Go, just go if you're told to. We're in business, and the people who come here to play are our customers. Customers are our gods, so we must serve them well and apologize to them properly to calm their nerves."

"Don't keep trying to force the club on you, understand?"

Zhou Shengpeng scolded him with a stern face.

Greyhound and Airplane have a strong gangster style in their work, and this needs to be reformed.

You can do business for a lifetime, but you can't be a dwarf mule forever.

"Yes, Boss is right. I'll arrange it now."

Greyhound didn't dare to refute Zhou Shengpeng anymore and hurried to appease the guest.

At this time, many people in the game hall had already exchanged their coins for game coins and were wandering around with inquiring eyes.

One of the young men, who wore a nose ring, earrings, purple hair, and a leather jacket, stopped in front of the slot machine.

This slot machine is a test machine obtained by Zhou Shengpeng.

The original model was improved and the slot machine program was implanted.

The pretty waitress, dressed coolly and with a banner on her chest, saw him hesitate and immediately asked in a sweet voice, "Handsome boy, do you want to try it? This game is fun and you can make money."

The young man with a nose ring stopped immediately when he heard that he could make money by playing games.

He became interested: "How do you play this game console?"

"Well, put in a coin, then pull the lever, press the button..."

The waitress asked the man to stand in front of the game machine, then squatted down to help him put the coin in, and then helped him pull the lever.

When the beauty squatted down, her long legs attracted his attention.

It is difficult for men to control themselves.

You put in a coin, pull the lever, press the button, and the machine starts turning.

The man couldn't help but feel a little skeptical, thinking that this game was somewhat insulting to one's intelligence.

It’s so simple, there’s no sense of operation at all.

If the beauty hadn't been there, he would have wanted to change it long ago.

The machine started to sound, and the light spots on it kept jumping rapidly over the tigers, lions, elephants, black bears, and wolves.

The machine also produces corresponding music sounds.

As the music stops.

There was a ding sound and a crisp sound.

The light stayed on the patterns of three tigers.

"Crash..."

The machine coin outlet sprayed out dozens of coins.

"Lost. Made a killing."

The man with the nose ring jumped up excitedly. He exchanged one coin for dozens of coins. How could this game spit out money?

The man greedily took out money from the coin dispenser, and this scene stunned everyone watching nearby.

"Fuck, I made so much money for one dollar."

"I want to play too, I want to play too."

Soon, many people gathered in front of the slot machines, putting coins in frantically, all wanting to be the lucky one, to win big with a small investment, and make money while playing.

At this time, the girl who was playing a foreign elimination game next to her was scratching her head in anger.

"Alas, I failed again. I'll try again. I don't believe it."

The girl tossed in another coin, and a pop-up appeared on the game screen: "It's said that if you beat the game, you can reach Einstein's IQ."

"If you don't have enough intelligence, don't challenge this game."

Next is the introduction of the rules of the game: move three cards of the same pattern to the bottom to eliminate them, and eliminate all cards in the level to pass the level.

The girl operated the buttons on the machine and quickly scanned the icons displayed on it, such as corn, cabbage, fork, carrot, bottle, etc.

Then select the three carrots and move them to the box below.

Soon the three carrots disappeared and the problem was solved.

She continued to try to follow the icon.

The people watching nearby were eager to try, all wanting to challenge themselves to see if their IQ was higher and whether they could pass the level quickly.

For friends who have passed the level, the machine will spit out an icon sticker. The sticker you get will be different depending on the time you have passed the level.

Those who passed the level were very excited, while those who didn’t were like being addicted, repeatedly inserting coins and trying again.

"Damn, even if Einstein came, he would have to squat in front of this game for half an hour."

"Don't ever go to the market after playing this game. You might accidentally buy three carrots, and when you get home, everything in your basket is gone because they've disappeared."

"No wonder the hands, ears, and eyes are all paired. It turns out they're afraid of being eliminated."

"If you have a grudge against someone, just let him go and have some fun."

Everyone gathered around the game and frantically tried to replay it to prove their intelligence.

Many young men and women are completely addicted and cannot help but insert coins and play without stopping.

In addition to the popular slot machines, there are also torturous foreign games.

A game called "Red Fortress" was also launched in the arcade.

Although this game is simple, young people still have a lot of fun playing it.

Coin pushers, claw machines, and basketball machines also attracted many people to stop.

"Universal Entertainment is doing something really new. The arcade is so much fun."

Suddenly, Universal Entertainment’s games became popular throughout Hong Kong Island, and there was a constant stream of people coming to the game hall every day.

As time went by, some players still stayed in other arcades.

Now that I have played the games produced by Zhou Shengpeng, I have no interest in those old games.

Bowl Street is crowded, and every day a large number of PTUs are there to help maintain order for free.

Big D and his wife Guo Meiqi stood on a high place, looking at the bustling Bolan Street, shocked.

This situation is even more exaggerated than the previous rush to buy diapers.

"Damn. This kid Kunpeng is like a gang member. He doesn't do porn, gambling, or porn anymore."

"They turned a lucrative business on Bowl Street into a legitimate business."

"It's just one coin at a time, with wins and losses, how much money can he make? I really don't know what he's bothering with."

"This pervert has nowhere to pick up girls, and he's having a hard time."

Big D casually put his hand on D's wife's shoulder, with some disdain.

In his view, profitable businesses are all written in the law.

Those who join a club have to be more impressive.

Zhou Shengpeng took great pains to take over Bolan Street and actually turned Malan Fenglou into a game hall.

He couldn't understand how easy it was to make money from those troublemakers after they had used up all their energy.

"I think you're one of those perverts. Seeing people clean up Bowl Lane, you must be upset, right?"

Guo Meiqi glared at Big D.

Big D only knows how to deal with gang stuff all day long, all about fighting and killing, and all kinds of crooked ways.

After being glared at by Guo Meiqi, Big D became more obedient.

"Don't underestimate such a small game console. I've had people measure the traffic. Based on the ratio, a small store with a hundred or so game consoles can make tens of millions a year."

"The companies under Zhou Shengpeng have an annual revenue of at least 50 million. If he opens a few more, it's not impossible for them to make over 100 million. This is still a conservative estimate."

Guo Meiqi rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

"That's impossible. Can these few broken game consoles make more money than the flour we make?"

Big D's jaw dropped when he heard this.

"Husband, don't underestimate the profits we make from flour. It may seem like huge profits to everyone, but when it reaches the hands of consumers, the price is several times higher, and it's very expensive."

"But you're not the boss, and you haven't calculated the profits. By the time the flour reaches us, it's already been exploited at every level."

"Every time it changes hands, a large amount of profit is taken away."

"The price of flour is high, there are many intermediate links, and the risks are high, so the profit margin is naturally reduced."

"Even though they made a lot of flour, they couldn't make over 100 million yuan a year."

"Although Kunpeng's game is small, once the plate is rolled out, the profits will be astonishing, absolutely terrifying beyond your imagination."

"The key point is that the risk is zero, and it's a legitimate business that makes money."

Big D doesn't care how many tricks there are.

He is a straightforward person and speaks his mind directly.

I heard that a small arcade business can make hundreds of millions a year. Who can withstand it?

I immediately painted a big picture for myself in my mind.

He looked at Guo Meiqi with excitement and said, "Wife, why don't we do some serious business?"

On the other side, Zhou Shengpeng followed Thirteenth Sister to several places to check out the business situation.

"Boss, the arcade is more profitable than the brothel and stables. People come to play 24 hours a day, day and night. From the time it opened until now, not a single machine has been idle. It's incredible."

Thirteenth Sister was very excited when she saw the crowded Bowl Lane.

"We're in a monopoly business, and Japan has export restrictions on this machine."

“If Sister Ailian hadn’t made the trip herself and used her own dock to load the goods, we wouldn’t have been able to get it.”

"Besides, even if someone in Hong Kong can get the same machine, it's useless without the games. Exclusive business is definitely easier to do."

Zhou Shengpeng was holding a cigarette, looking at the crowded Bolan Street, with a calm and composed demeanor as if everything was under control.

"Boss, then we will always be the exclusive business, monopolize the market, and make a lot of money."

Thirteenth Sister said proudly.

Zhou Shengpeng flicked her head lightly and said, "Are you crazy? Don't you understand that it's hard to get fat by eating alone?"

"Exclusive is good, but the plate is only so big, and the cake is only so big. If you eat it all, it's still just one piece of cake."

"If you make the plate bigger, the cake will also be bigger, and any piece you take will far exceed the original share."

Thirteenth Sister gave him a puzzled look.

Zhou Shengpeng continued, "Think about it, with our manpower ratio and capital investment, how many machines can we afford at most?"

"Five thousand, ten thousand?"

Thirteenth Sister answered tentatively.

"Think about it again. If the entire Hong Kong Island, with its eighteen districts and hundreds of clubs, could consume so many game consoles?"

"At least 100,000 units."

After Zhou Shengpeng said this number, Thirteenth Sister widened her eyes in surprise, took a breath, and was shocked.

One hundred thousand units.

Originally, she was only looking at the immediate income. A store could make at least hundreds of thousands in net profit, and tens of millions a year. There was no risk, which was more profitable than the original three-color industry.

As a result, Zhou Shengpeng told him that if he wanted to expand the business to the whole of Hong Kong Island and have 100,000 machines, he would have to make at least a few hundred million.

The amount of money you get is also a considerable amount.

Thirteenth Sister was suddenly very excited.

"So, now, we should recruit as many people as possible to join us, so that we can make the plate bigger, the cake bigger, and make more money."

"But, Boss, this is the truth. Japan only gave us so few machines, and there aren't enough to share."

Zhou Shengpeng looked at the worried Thirteenth Sister and smiled:

"I've already made plans for this. Jimmy has already set up an electronics company and is collaborating with an electronics OEM factory in Hong Kong Island."

"A new arcade machine has been developed and is ready for mass production at any time."

"Your lifeline must always be in your own hands. If it's in someone else's hands, there's no fun."

Suddenly, Zhou Shengpeng's phone rang.

"Hey, brother Kunpeng, let's go to the Jade Tea House. I'll treat you to tea today."

A unique voice came from the other end of the phone, and Zhou Shengpeng knew it was undoubtedly Big D.

"Brother Big D, I heard you and Liansheng are going to choose a club leader soon. Do you still have time to treat me to tea?"

Big D did not shy away from saying:

"I'm not going to hide it, I'll just say it straight out. Your arcade business looks pretty profitable, and I'd like to get involved. Will you give me some face?"
