"Inspector Du, right? I guess you didn't come here simply to wish me a happy New Year? If you have anything to do, let's talk first!"
Boss Huo asked the servant to serve Du Yongxiao tea and got straight to the point.
Du Yongxiao knew that there was no point in playing tricks with the person in front of him, so it was better to be straightforward.
"Huo Lao Mingcha, I do have something to come today."
Next to him, Mr. Huo interrupted: "If you have something to tell me first, how can you-"
"Shut up." Boss Huo scolded him.
Young Master Huo quickly shut his mouth and looked at Du Yongxiao sadly.
"The first thing is that I am really here to wish Mr. Huo a happy new year. The second thing is -" Du Yongxiao paused and sorted out his thoughts, "About the problem of river sand in construction -"
Boss Huo smiled: "Zhenting is doing real estate business with you. His construction company has not started construction for a long time. I will support you strongly this time, so there is no problem with the river sand!"
Du Yongxiao knew that Mr. Huo had support from the mainland and held the exclusive right to sell river sand in the mainland. He was known as the "Tsar", so the sand and gravel issue was not a problem in his eyes.
But Du Yongxiao's ambitions didn't stop there.
"Mr. Huo, I haven't finished speaking yet. There is no problem with the construction of Times Square. I am also reassured about the supply of sand and gravel. What I mean is that Kowloon——"
Boss Huo glanced at Du Yongxiao, "Don't tell me you have other ideas?"
"Yes, now I am in charge of Kowloon, and the Kowloon Pier is a must-go place for sand and gravel. I want to cooperate with you, Mr. Huo, to do the sand and gravel business together."
"Hahaha!" Mr. Huo smiled with contempt in his eyes, "You want to make sand and gravel with me? Do you know that even Liu Fu wouldn't dare to say this to me?"
"I know!" Du Yongxiao said, "In the past, Kowloon was a mess, and even Mr. Fu couldn't convince the public. Orders were issued mostly in disobedience. The Kowloon Pier was a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. Even if your sand and gravel were protected by 14K, But you also have to pay tolls.”
"But it's different now. As long as you trust me, old man, I can give you the pier for your use! I can't do it on Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, but I have the final say in Kowloon." Du Yongxiao gradually showed a hint of domineering.
Boss Huo stared at him and didn't think about it seriously until Du Yongxiao finished speaking.
He holds the power of sand and gravel, but the operation of sand and gravel requires a lot of "tolls".
These "tolls" are sometimes higher than the cost of excavation and transportation of sand and gravel.
Now To Yongxiao can hand over the Kowloon Pier and let him use it for free, which will save at least a lot of money.
"I'm curious, why do you, Inspector Hua, be so keen on doing business?" Boss Huo asked.
"Working as an errand is to get food and fill your stomach; doing business is to learn how to be a good person - business, after all, is about human nature."
Du Yongxiao's words were old-fashioned, but Mr. Huo nodded frequently when he heard them.
"You are very ambitious, but why are you focusing on the sand and gravel business alone?"
"Because I am optimistic about the development of real estate." Du Yongxiao said, "In my opinion, the next thirty or even forty years in Hong Kong will be the golden period of real estate, and real estate cannot be separated from sand and gravel."
Huo Da narrowed his eyes and stared at Du Yongxiao, "Do you really think so?"
"yes!"
The living room fell silent for a moment.
Young Master Huo was sitting closest and felt the powerful aura radiating from his father's body, which made him breathless.
The old housekeeper, Uncle En, and others were far away, but they also felt a little bit of pressure.
"Okay!" Mr. Huo said, "If you want to do sand and gravel business with me, I agree to it!"
Du Yongxiao said happily: "Thank you Mr. Huo!"
"Thank you soon! I always only look at the results, not the process. We will wait and see whether you can manage the Kowloon Pier and allow the sand and gravel to land smoothly!"
"Of course! I will never let you down."
Du Yongxiao was slightly excited. He knew very well how profitable the sand and gravel business was. Especially in the future, with the boom in real estate in Hong Kong, the value of sand and gravel would be even higher than gold.
"Finally, I have another unwelcome request——"
"You speak."
"I heard that Mr. Huo is the chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce?"
"So what?"
"Can you give me a quota for the Franchise Chamber of Commerce?"
"Who wants to join? You?"
"No, my dad!"
…
"I, Du Dapao, please give me your advice in the future!"
"I am in the cleaning business, and everyone is from Chaozhou, Jia Jilang!"
"If you need soap, soap, or shampoo in the future, just come to me! Duchenne Cleansing will give you a new life!"
At the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce New Year meeting, Du Dapao wore brand new clothes and frequently gave people business cards to help advertise his company.
Some of the big guys from the chamber of commerce took it for a look and said a few polite words. Some of them don't even bother to look. Newcomers like Du Dapao are just younger brothers in their eyes, and they are still unknown.
Seeing that the selection meeting for new members of the Chamber of Commerce was about to begin, many big guys took their seats, and Du Dapao acted as his little brother, running around and pouring tea and water for everyone.
Some chamber of commerce bosses who came late were still confused and asked the people next to them: "Who is this person? He is quite diligent in his work."
"New staff."
"Huh? I thought it was a waiter."
Li Jiacheng sat in the vice chairman's seat, running around with his eyes pointed at Du Dapao, and said to the person next to him: "Please remember what I told you later."
"clear!"
That person is the person in charge of this selection meeting and the boss of Hong Kong Qicheng Company, named Fu Libin.
Soon, the meeting began.
Including Du Dapao, eight candidates were sitting upright, waiting to join the meeting.
Fu Libin began to read the name.
Everyone is very excited. It is not easy to join Chaoshan Business.
"Huang Tianjun."
"Ding Wanfu."
"Zhang Shaoqi."
"Wang Tianfeng."
Everyone who heard their name was very happy and stood up to greet everyone.
Du Dapao was also very excited. It was not until Fu Libin finished reading the list that he realized that he was not there.
"How could this happen?" Du Dapao was a little confused.
Fu Libin gave him a cold look, "Originally, eight candidates joined the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce today, but after our investigation, this Boss Du Pao Du——"
Du Dapao stood up, "I...what's wrong?"
Fu Libin said contemptuously: "Someone reported that you were suspected of fraud!"
boom!
The scene exploded.
"Fraud?"
"Is he a fraud?"
"It was so dangerous, I was almost sneaked in by a fraudster!"
Du Dapao's face turned red and he was speechless, not knowing how to explain.
Boss Li watched Du Dapao make a fool of himself with pride.
Others also looked at Du Dapao with contempt.
At this time, a voice said: "Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce? Nothing more than that!"
Du Yongxiao, dressed in white, walked in, glanced at many Chaozhou bigwigs contemptuously, and then walked up to his father, "Let's go home!"
Du Dapao: "But-"
"But what?" Du Yongxiao laughed, "You should report to the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce now, instead of staying here!"
After a pause-——
"Chairman Huo gave you a spot!"
