Having been in society for twenty or thirty years, I naturally knew the so-called measurement of thousands of gates, and I certainly understood what Chu Xiangqian meant.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Uncle, I have been working hard on the road for so many years. What kind of side business and tricks have I never seen? Please have three or five old ladies to keep an eye on it. Except for me, I can't even touch any male." Come to my outer room."
Chu Qianqian couldn't help but swallowed, secretly thinking that his worries were really unnecessary.
I wanted to remind Baifanyu, Lei Luo and Bai Yuechang of their attitudes.
But then I thought about it, even my uncle and nephew couldn't say this, let alone myself as an outsider.
"Okay, I'll have someone send a tiger to your house tomorrow, just think of it as a congratulatory gift."
Baifanyu was overjoyed, "If I really have a child, regardless of gender, my uncle will give you a big red envelope."
Chu Xiangqian was moved in his heart and took the opportunity to say, "When I go back this time, I also obtained the supply of sika deer donkey-hide gelatin as a tribute from the mainland, and I will send half a catty to you tomorrow.
And the difference between deer glue and donkey glue is that deer glue is milder and more effective. But after it was confirmed that I was pregnant, I remembered that I stopped.
Also, it is best to ask an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner to take a look first, to avoid problems caused by improper supplementation. "
Baifanyu nodded hurriedly, but was secretly surprised that Chu Qianqian could even get the tribute.
And from what he said, deer glue is more rare than donkey glue.
I secretly thought that I really need to go find an old Chinese medicine doctor to ask, and after the items are delivered to my home, I will ask an old master to check the quality of the tribute deer glue.
As for the poison test, Baifanyu is not worried. After all, he does not eat the deer glue. No matter how stupid Chu Xiangqian is, he will not harm an unrelated woman.
If the master sees it and finds it really good, then he needs to get more of it.
Since it is a tribute, it must be very small. "Then how do you sell deer glue?"
Chu Qianqian pretended to be angry, "Uncle, it's just half a pound of deer glue, can you give me money?"
"Misunderstanding," Baifanyu said hurriedly, "Since it is a good thing, I have to save some. I can't give you all the deer gum from my eighth aunt and third aunt in my family for nothing!"
Besides, I also have human needs. If you give someone else's stuff, it's even more embarrassing to take your stuff for nothing. "
Chu Xiangqian had already guessed the meaning of white rice fish. After thinking about it, he said, "I really don't know the specific selling price here in Hong Kong Island. But I heard from my elders that half a pound of fish costs one small yellow croaker.
If you want it, you can calculate it at this price. "
"That won't work." After a little calculation, Baifanyu knew that one kilogram in the Mainland cost 416 Hong Kong dollars.
The shipping costs, plus the need to take care of human relationships. If you don't make money, you can only provide a very small number of good things to yourself.
"Two boxes cost 600 yuan per catty. Give me 20 catties. Together with the tiger, the total is 62,000 yuan."
"Forget it about tigers," Chu waved his hand forward, "As for deer glue, 500 Hong Kong dollars per pound is enough. If I make too much, people will refuse to supply me."
Baifanyu was stunned and asked in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"
Chu Qianqian made some nonsense and said, "If it's huge profits, and the people in the mainland are not stupid, why should they only supply goods to me? On the contrary, it's because the profits are not high, that they will give up on setting up their own sales channels.
It saves me the money and energy I have spent and it is not worth it to me to directly supply the goods.
And if the profit there is so high and a large number of sika deer are artificially raised, the tribute will become a popular commodity.
No matter how rich you are, are you willing to spend a lot of money to buy this kind of thing? "
"Of course I won't buy it," Baifanyu realized the problem after saying that. He smiled and gave Chu Qianqian a thumbs up.
"Achu, the more I stay with you, the more I feel that you are the one who really knows how to do business."
Chu Xiangqian felt happy. Three sika deers in Xinshou Village every day can produce 30 kilograms of deer glue.
900 pounds a month is actually a lot, but over-the-counter sales plus private purchases should be able to maintain the status of a high-end product.
This kind of business is running smoothly, 450,000 a month, 5.4 million a year.
Chu Xiangqian was breathing heavily just thinking about it.
It makes more money than simply selling sika deer to the "Spineless" restaurant.
Even in order to maintain high prices and scarcity, Chu Xiangqian would rather sell less and store unsold deer glue in the warehouse.
When the Chinese market in Southeast Asia is opened in the future, 900 kilograms a month will not be purchased or sold at all.
Baifanyu saw Chu Qianqian smiling but not answering, knowing that this boy was unwilling to admit his ability and talent in business.
To prevent others from getting involved in your business.
But this was not a problem for Baifanyu, who said with a smile, "Xiao Chu, during the more than ten days you returned to the mainland, uncle was not only focused on giving birth to a son."
After saying that, he waved to his confidant standing five or six meters away.
He took a folder and handed it to Chu Qianqian, "These are ten properties in Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Sham Shui Po, Prince Edward Road, Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei and Jordan.
Uncle asks you to choose first. After you select six companies, each will cost you HK$500,000.
I'm responsible for helping you with the title and decoration. Each cinema has at least 300 seats, and the cinema chain we created together can be officially opened within one month. "
Chu Qianqian was stunned, and then cursed secretly in his heart.
The old guy Baifanyu wants to spend money to buy a ticket to board the ship.
As for which six to choose, you don’t have to choose at all.
Everyone would choose the 5 hotels from Sheung Wan to Causeway Bay, plus Jordan.
Properties in these places will definitely be the most expensive in the future, but Chu Xiangqian knows that he actually has no choice.
Lei Luo was in charge of Hong Kong at this time, and Baifanyu's property was within his son-in-law's jurisdiction, so it was naturally the safest.
However, Lan Gang, who is close to him, is a former detective in Mong Kok, Kowloon, and Fei Bo is a detective in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon.
The martial arts associations' large and small martial arts schools are basically all here in Kowloon.
It's not that those masters don't want to open martial arts schools on Hong Kong Island, it's because housing prices and rents are too expensive.
In the early years, there was simply not enough money to open martial arts schools in the area from Sheung Wan to Causeway Bay.
After establishing a foothold in Kowloon, the reputation and potential customer group that has been cultivated over the years, that is, the apprentices, are basically within a few streets of the martial arts gym.
I can't move even if I want to.
Chu Qianqian glanced at White Rice Fish, "I want the five restaurants in Kowloon, plus the one in Causeway Bay."
Baifanyu nodded hurriedly, this allocation is actually the most reasonable.
The cinemas in Kowloon are naturally inferior to the four cinemas from Sheung Wan to Wan Chai.
But at this time, although Causeway Bay is not the most prosperous, it is also the place with the largest flow of people.
The first-ranked and bottom-five combinations are almost on par with the second, third, fourth and fifth.
This was also the plan Lei Luo wanted Chu Xiangqian to choose the most when they discussed it.
As expected, Chu Xiangqian was well versed in the art of balance and knew how to make choices.
Baifanyu nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll have people start work soon, and try to complete the decoration within twenty days. Once the playback equipment is in place, the cinema can open.
At that time, we will use the movie you are filming as the jackpot to try to get a good start. "
When Chu Qianqian was told this by Bai Fanyu, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
After talking about the main business, attention naturally quickly turned to shooting.
I thought that non-fighting scenes would be easier to shoot, but what Chu Xiangqian didn’t expect was that literary and funny scenes were the most difficult to shoot.
In the real world, Uncle Long had already made more than a dozen movies when he was filming Snake Man.
Although the box office and acting skills are not very good, he can be regarded as a veteran of five or six years.
Guo Zhenhua is a real novice and can only grind it over and over again.
In the end, the director couldn't stand it anymore and whispered to Chu Xiangqian, "Boss, the main focus of our movie is humor and exciting fighting.
The actors' acting skills can lower some standards appropriately.
After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian immediately realized that he had gone astray.
Uncle Long's goals for the early films were very clear, namely humor and kung fu.
Even when he has been in the film industry for 20 or 30 years, his acting skills are not that good.
Trying to hone Guo Zhenhua's acting skills by yourself is tantamount to giving up the good and chasing the bad. It would be better to let him practice more and rehearse the fighting scenes.
Or come up with funnier ideas with martial arts instructors like Hong Sanbao.
Nodding to the director, Guo Zhenhua and others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Chu Qianqian stood up and left the photography position. Bai Fanyu took out a cigar and lit it for him, then asked with a smile, "It looks quite interesting. How about letting me play a small and insignificant role, uncle?"
Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not refuse this. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, uncle, you will play a master in a martial arts school. You will have about ten lines of dialogue, and you will appear in four or five scenes."
Baifanyu is overjoyed, this is already quite a supporting role.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, we finally successfully finished filming the scene where the protagonist is teased by the master disciple in the martial arts gym.
Baifanyu has also made preparations and is waiting to play the first scene in his life.
This old man always likes to wear a coat, and the quality is very good at first glance, so there is no need to change costumes.
But what was different from Bai Fanyu's imagination was that as a martial arts master, he had no fighting scenes at all.
On the contrary, it is Hong Zhennan's apprentice Aji, who plays the iron fist master brother, and has many funny elements.
After breaking three stacked bricks with one palm, his palm became as swollen as a bun.
But he can't show it in front of others, but it makes people feel funny when he looks at it.
This is the real supporting role.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chu Xiangqian and the director were busy preparing people to shoot the only night scene in the entire movie.
While waiting for the transition, Baifanyu pulled Chu Qianqian and said, "Many people with the prefix "righteousness" are either killed or have joined several other societies.
The men of the woman named Rose were also dead and scattered.
The two sides really can't fight anymore.
A few club bosses wanted to take advantage, but they were worried that you were still not satisfied, so they paid me a lot of money to invite you to have a casual dinner.
How about we, uncle and nephew, add up to five and divide the 500,000 that those guys gave me equally? "
Chu Qianqian shook his head. 250,000 was indeed a lot, but he really had no intention of joining a club.
Naturally, it is impossible to collect this money.
And once it is collected, it is equivalent to acknowledging that the rose was killed by oneself.
"Uncle, I'm not your second brother. Thirty years ago, when I first arrived in Hong Kong, I had no one to rely on and no skills to make a living. I had to rely on hard work to make a living. I really can't join a club."
Baifanyu shook his head, "Even if you think the mixed club is low-level, maintaining a decent relationship with them is not a bad thing.
Moreover, no matter what business you do in the future, you will eventually be unable to avoid associations. It's better to have a meal with these big guys, get acquainted with each other, and talk to each other first if something happens in the future, than to fight and kill each other whenever something happens, right? "
Chu Qianqian thought carefully and realized that what Baifanyu said was indeed correct, "Okay, then you have the backbone tomorrow night?"
"Tomorrow night is the best," Baifanyu said with a smile. "Those guys are asking for a favor from you. Let them order three or five tables of tiger banquet, just so that the whole Hong Kong can see what the specifications are."
Chu Xiangqian also laughed after hearing this, told the crew about the scenes to be filmed tomorrow, and drove all the way with Baifanyu to show his integrity.
When Duan Hongchun heard that Chu Xiangqian had promised to prepare a tiger feast tomorrow, he felt very excited.
Once the reputation is established, the restaurant will become the first choice place for negotiations between large and small associations in Hong Kong in the future.
Not only will business be much better, but people from the community will not cause trouble in the restaurant.
In the evening, Chu Qianqian, Baifanyu, Sanjiang Shui and Baifanyu's confidant Baizhifan had a venison feast, and Baifanyu applauded them.
Chu Xiangqian knew that the hotel must have hired a new master chef without even asking.
A dozen venison dishes, all very well done indeed.
No wonder Duan Hongchun said yesterday that of the 40 sika deer he had left behind, nearly 20 had been sold in the past ten days.
If I come back ten days late, the sika deer that can last for 40 days will be out of stock.
This was a good thing for Chu Xiangqian. He already owned half of the shares in the restaurant, so he sold a deer to the restaurant for 4,050 yuan.
Including the 50 yuan slaughtering fee, if two heads are sold a day, the monthly cost is 246,000 yuan.
A deer in a restaurant sells for 8,000, and if you divide it half, you get 4,000, which is another 120,000.
Just by selling sika deer, I can earn 366,000 yuan a month.
If there are two or three clubs serving drinks every month, even if it is a Quanlu Banquet worth 50,000 yuan per table, his monthly income can reach 460,000 to 500,000 yuan just from being in the restaurant.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian's heart beat faster. This was higher than the net income of many club bosses in a year.
Even a big shot like Bai Fanyu only had a net worth of six to seven million two years ago.
After Lei Luo sat in the position of Inspector General Hua for the past two years, Baifanyu's net worth should only be around 20 million.
Moreover, he only sells sika deer and whole deer feasts, which makes five to six million a year.
If all deer glue is sold every year, there will be 5.4 million. This adds up to over ten million a year.
It’s exciting just to think about it.
After eating the rice and fish, while drinking tea, he took Chu Qianqian and talked about things but didn't mention going home.
Chu Qianqian thought about it for a moment and realized that this old man must be greedy for the profits of the restaurant, and even Lei Luo must have this idea.
However, due to the power of killing the lame man, he did not dare to explicitly ask for a share.
I can only keep using words to hint.
But he would not let them, the father-in-law and his son-in-law, buy shares. While dealing with the constant temptations of Baifanyu and his confidant Daguang, he was thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
Sanjiang Shui also saw the problem and was busy looking for help to deal with Da Guang.
Fortunately, after a while, Chu Xiangqian had an idea in his mind.
Moreover, this business not only takes a long time, but he also does not have the capital and connections to do it. Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would not take advantage of outsiders.
"Uncle, do you want to start a profitable business?"
