Baifanyu and Daguang became excited when they heard this. One of them was older and had a lot of money, so they no longer wanted to continue the business of killing and making money.
But how can legitimate business be so easy to do?
Never mind that a person like Lei Luo, who is in charge of more than 20,000 police officers in Hong Kong Island, can only do business in travel agencies, nightclubs and real estate based on the wisdom of others.
And real estate only makes 5 million a year.
Compared to the British guys, that's a drop in the bucket.
As for the Chinese real estate tycoons, we had to wait at least until the early 1970s before any Chinese became bigger and stronger in the real estate industry.
The most direct proof is that Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Holdings was not listed until 1972 or 1973. At that time, the stock market value was only HK$200 million.
Even less than the actor Cao Dahua.
Therefore, Lei Luo and other Chinese tycoons were only making small fortunes in the real estate industry at this time.
Of course, making money is for sure.
That's why after Bai Fanyu discovered that Chu Xiangqian was not only capable, but also had a strong background and a strong business acumen, he shamelessly insisted on leaning towards Chu Xiangqian.
Chu Qianqian thought about this for a moment, and felt more and more that the business he was thinking of was suitable for white rice fish.
"Uncle, you started on the dock back then, so you should know better than me the boatmen in the typhoon shelter. The popularity of the sea farmhouse you run is actually not small."
Baifanyu and Daguang were stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"Achu, life is not good for boatmen at sea. There is no need to compete with them for business, right?"
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Xiangqian knew as soon as he heard this that Baifanyu had misunderstood, "I mean, build a large offshore restaurant that can sail offshore.
I've already thought of a name, so it's called Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. "
Since the 1920s, people from the sea have opened sea restaurants on Hong Kong Island.
The business is pretty good, but the boats are no more than ten meters tall and can seat three or four tables, which is similar to the model of private dining.
When Chu Xiangqian said that he would open a restaurant on the sea that could rival the size of a large restaurant on land, Baifanyu and Daguang's eyes lit up.
In addition to what Chu Xiangqian said, if you want to drive, drive the biggest and most luxurious one.
Carved beams and painted buildings are maritime buildings with Chinese characteristics.
Bai Fanyu immediately understood that once this treasure seafood restaurant is completed, it will not only become a new sign and scenery on Hong Kong Island, but it may become extremely famous throughout Southeast Asia.
And you don’t have to organize your own fleet to fish for seafood.
Just the big and small boatmen who make a living at sea gather around the treasure boat to supply goods every day.
This is truly the freshest seafood.
This item alone is enough to attract many diners to come on board to taste it.
As the owner of Zhenbaofang, Baifanyu can also earn a good reputation.
Moreover, he started out as a fishmonger, and he knew many boatmen at sea. Even now, there are many of his people on several piers eating from the sea.
It was as if it was tailor-made for him.
Baifanyu immediately said excitedly, "Achu, uncle invested 5 million, and you also contributed 5 million. How about we form a partnership? If you don't have enough money, uncle will lend it to you."
Chu Qianqian shook his head, "Forget it, I have opened several businesses now. Instead of participating in all businesses, it is better to run the existing business well first.
Moreover, I have no resources and no manpower at Seaside Restaurant. Instead of inviting me to become a shareholder, uncle, you might as well invite a few more big shots to avoid jealousy. "
Baifanyu understood Chu Xiangqian's hint. There were many restaurants run by big and small boat owners on the sea. Once Zhenbao Fang started operating, it would be their business that they would grab.
Moreover, in the restaurant converted from a large ship, one ship can be worth ten of others.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.
If you think about it, you will know that if the ship is still under construction, it may suddenly catch fire one day.
In the real world, when someone opened the seafood treasure boat a few years later, it really encountered a fire.
It wasn't until Gambling King and Shark Zheng took over that the ship was built instantly.
But the real business had to wait until the 1970s. Moreover, the funds consumed have skyrocketed from 10 million at the beginning to 30 million.
But after the ship was built, it really became a business card of Hong Kong Island.
In Master Xing's movie God of Cookery, the venue for the cooking competition is in the Jumbo Boat.
In Infernal Affairs 2, the scene where Ni Yongxiao meets the congressman and is taken away by the police is also in the Jumbo Boat.
In the island game, the background screen of Treasure Boat also appears from time to time.
However, it is a pity that this business makes money in the first 20 years, and will gradually suffer losses in the next 20 years.
And it keeps losing money all the way.
Coupled with the fact that the ship is too old, the subsequent maintenance costs will be so painful that the boss will be tempted to throw it away immediately.
Then I slapped myself a few times and regretted why I didn't spend the 30 million to build a super luxury restaurant at the beach.
If this is the case, then it will not be more and more losses, but it will be able to make dozens or hundreds of times the land price alone.
Chu Xiangqian's unwillingness to participate was indeed a wise move.
But it is different for Baifanyu. He is already 5 or 60 hours old.
After the boat was built and it had been prosperous for 20 years, he would have retired long ago.
When the time comes, the son-in-law and daughter will be hiding abroad and unable to come back, so they will naturally be sold.
And when it was sold, the value of the boat was just stuck at its peak.
Moreover, Baifanyu's son-in-law is Lei Luo. Let alone compete with him, if the club dares to cause trouble, police officers from the brigade and brigade will come to the door the next day.
In this way, we have to worry about the jealousy of the prosperous people in Hong Kong Island.
That's why Chu Xiangqian said that he would bring in a few more real big shots to do this business together.
"Okay, uncle, thank you first. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, uncle will definitely thank you."
Chu waved his hand forward. There were some businesses that he couldn't handle, so it was a smart choice to use them as favors.
Besides, despite the fact that Jumbo Fang’s prospects do look great, there are a lot of troubles inside.
First of all, Zhenbaofang cannot have the guts to do a full deer feast or a tiger feast.
At that time, someone will definitely follow suit.
Duan Hongchun and other restaurant owners may be able to solve the problem of sika deer supply, and occasionally get one or two tigers.
But he can't just buy 90 sika deer and 30 tigers every month like he did.
It means that Duan Hongchun can't live without him and has to work for him.
The second thing is that the bigger the business seems to be, the better the prospects look, the more jealous people will be, and there will be a lot of troubles in the future, just think about it.
If you wait for a profit from someone else, it will most likely not be as much as the money you made in 'Spine'.
After sending Baifanyu and Da Guang away, Sanjiang Shui immediately started muttering and cursing.
Chu Qianqian patted his arm nonchalantly, "Okay, senior brother, we can't do this business. Don't be angry with yourself."
Sanjiang understands the truth, but he still feels that Baifanyu got an excellent money-making electronic for nothing, but he only said that he was grateful, but did not explain clearly what the thank you gift was.
It feels perfunctory.
Chu Xiangqian was certain that Baifanyu was not just talking.
Having been in contact with him for so long, this man is actually very courageous.
When it's time to take action, never be stingy.
The two drove back to the dry goods store, and the neighbors they met showed enthusiasm when they saw that he was back.
Chu Xiangqian didn't react at first, so he brought Sanjiang Shui into his home. Only then did he learn from him that in recent times, the dwarf mule nearby didn't even charge the street fee.
“Boss, the neighbors on this street now wish you could live here all their lives.
I heard that someone even proposed that you should be elected as the head of the neighborhood committee when you come back from the mainland. "
Chu Xiangqian was not interested when he heard it.
If you don’t have much power, you will definitely have a lot of troubles. This is a typical example of thankless work.
It is better to wait for the neighbors to encounter trouble, take the initiative to ask for help, and then help when the time comes. If you can't help yourself, you have no obligation to help them.
At most, the person involved can curse a few words behind his back, which will have little impact on his reputation.
But if you sit as the person in charge of the neighborhood committee and don't help, you will definitely get stabbed in the spine.
——
Early the next morning, Chu Xiangqian finished practicing his boxing and refreshed all the wild monsters, fruit trees, etc. in the game.
After lying down in the fountain to wash up, I planned to drive my Mercedes-Benz to give a tiger to the white rice fish before going out, and then when I went to the set, a car drove over.
I saw Da Guang walking down with a box and a smile, "Master Chu, Boss Bai asked me to deliver this to you."
Chu Qianqian took the box and opened it, and saw that there were stacks of cash inside.
He frowned and looked at Daguang, and saw him smiling and saying, "Boss Bai told you yesterday that the big guys with the prefix "Yi" wanted to treat you to dinner and act as a mediator.
Of the 1 million in this box, 500,000 is the passing fee given to Boss Bai by the bosses with the prefix "righteousness".
The other 500,000 and a house deed and land deed for the Causeway Bay Cinema are a little bit of the wishes of Boss Bai and Brother Luo. "
Chu Qianqian nodded, secretly thinking that he had guessed right, Baifanyu was still as generous as ever.
He threw the box into the back seat of the car.
He took out a box of thin cigars from his pocket, lit them for Daguang and himself, and said with a smile, "Looks like Uncle and Brother Luo must have talked about the Treasure Seafood Restaurant with that big shot?"
Daguang was stunned and secretly thought that Chu Xiangqian was really smart, and he could make a general guess upon hearing it.
He nodded and said, "Last Bai went to Brother Luo's place after leaving Guangqi yesterday. Unexpectedly, there happened to be a few big shots there.
Everyone sat down and talked, and they all praised the idea as a good one.
It only took more than ten minutes to negotiate the investment share.
Boss Bai proposed. Thank you very much for being the initiator. Originally, Boss Bai wanted to come over in person, but he was worried that you wouldn't accept it, so he would let me go when the time came. It wouldn't look good, so he asked me to come over. "
Chu Xiangqian secretly said, "Fools don't accept it."
And if he doesn't accept money from the movie theater, he is implying that he wants shares in Jumbo Seafood Restaurant.
At that time, good things will turn into bad things.
"Brother Guang, please wait for me. I'll let you take the tiger that I sent here last night to my uncle."
Daguang was stunned and secretly thought that Chu Xiangqian was really not bragging. He said he could get the tiger from the mainland in one day, but he didn't expect it to be delivered in half a day.
Does this mean that if Chu Xiangqian called people from the mainland, he would be able to summon a group of killers in half a day?
No, what happened to Lai Hao last time has proven that he can summon a group of masters at will.
He nodded hurriedly and watched Chu Xiangqian enter the shop.
Then he glanced at the box he had just brought in the back seat of the car.
You know, there are millions of dollars in cash in the box, as well as the title deed and house deed of a movie theater worth more than 500,000 yuan.
When you get it to the housing management department, you can get a new house book with anyone's name on it.
But Chu Xiangqian was still in the car so casually.
He secretly thought that he didn't know if this person was being arrogant or if he was sure that no one would dare to steal his things.
After thinking about it, it must be the latter.
Not long after, Chu Qianqian moved three bamboo baskets and went out. Daguang hurriedly asked his younger brother to carry them away.
It's just that when the two boys were carrying a bamboo basket one by one, they couldn't move it anywhere.
Chu Qianqian laughed and said, "A bamboo basket weighs less than 150 kilograms. You'd better call and ask for a light truck to come over."
After saying that, regardless of the dumbfounded looks of the two boys, he went home and handed a bamboo basket containing 20 wooden boxes to Daguang, "This is the 20 kilograms of deer glue that uncle asked for."
Daguang hurriedly took it and saw a few sika deers carved in the middle of the 20 palm-sized boxes. There were many cloud patterns and longevity patterns around them, which made him feel comfortable looking at them.
The only pity is that after the box was polished very smooth, it was not painted, which makes it look a bit boring.
If Chu Xiangqian heard Da Guang's inner voice, he wouldn't care.
Some people like flowers and flowers, while others like plain, primary colors.
As for where the wooden box came from, it was naturally made by Chu Qianqian using the wood collected from the birch trees in the woods north of Novice Village and spending 1 gold coupon in the Novice Village jewelry store.
Fortunately, a whole birch tree can make 100 wooden boxes, and it only costs 1 gold coupon.
Chu Xiangqian simply made 1,000 of them, divided the 240 kilograms of deer glue cooked in the past eight days into pieces of one or two pieces, and then packed 240 boxes of one kilogram per box.
Now I sell 20 kilograms to Baifanyu. If the women in his family or the seven aunts and eight aunts eat it, the effect will be really good.
The market for deer gum should soon spread among wealthy people.
In the future, I might be able to sell most of the deer glue without opening a special supplement store.
Daguang hurriedly put the deer glue into the car, and then took out a wad of money from his pocket, "Boss Bai asked me to prepare 60,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy the tiger and the deer glue."
Chu Qianqian smiled and shook his head, secretly thinking that Baifanyu was indeed a good man, so he accepted it without saying anything more.
Then he took out a wooden box and handed it to Daguang, "Give it to my wife to try. If it tastes good, you are welcome to order."
Daguang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Master Chu, you really know how to do business. After my wife and mother have eaten it, they will definitely eat it all the time in the future."
The two chatted for a while, then a light truck drove over and left with three large baskets of tiger meat, tiger bones, tiger skins and tiger whips.
Chu Xiangqian then got into the car and threw the suitcase containing millions in cash and a movie theater into the storage compartment.
I drove my car to a remote place and put a whole tiger in the trunk, including all the skin, flesh and internal organs except the skin and bones.
And it was processed cleanly using the collection technique.
There are more than two hundred kilograms of meat, tendons, tails, and internal organs, enough to host 10 tables of all-tiger banquets.
When they arrived at 'Spine', Duan Hongchun, who was staring at the kitchen, got the news from the waiter.
I immediately hurried out of the restaurant and saw several waiters taking bamboo baskets out of the trunk of the car.
I finally felt relieved.
