Chu Xiang carried his handbag, got into the car and was still in the passenger seat, and then said to Duan Hongchun, "Old Duan, the taste of the restaurant is the first, it is true.
But if there is one mistake in service and hygiene, the restaurant's business will plummet. It will take several years for the sea to recover, or even not recover at all, you know? "
"I understand, I understand." Duan Hongchun nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I will definitely remember your words."
Chu Xiangqian can now be said to be Duan Hongchun's God of Wealth.
The restaurant's business increased by 30% last month, but its net profit was only 20,000 yuan.
If this were the case before, Duan Hongchun would be so happy that he couldn't sleep.
But after selling 20 sika deer, I made 40,000 yuan from this item alone.
It can be said that in just half a year, Duan Hongchun was able to earn back a "honest" restaurant.
If Chu Sheng doesn't plan to open a branch by then, for a person like me who has little ambition, then just listen to him and buy a building or a store.
If Chu Qianqian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.
In his memory, a 14-square-meter milk tea shop in Causeway Bay in the future cost 94,000 when he bought it in 1964.
But in 2011, the selling price alone was as high as 380 million.
The highest monthly rent once reached 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars a month.
In just 57 years, the return on investment reached 30,000 times.
This is three times higher than the return on IBM's shares when it was founded.
Therefore, when Chu Xiangqian told Baifanyu that the store in Causeway Bay could be passed down from generation to generation, it was true.
The rent for 10 stores alone in the next year will be at least 150 million.
After returning home, I went to Novice Village and took a bath in the fountain. I also soaked my clothes in the fountain to purify them.
Then I started calculating my income over the past two days.
In the morning, Baifanyu gave away 1 million and the property rights of the Causeway Bay Cinema, and in the evening he won 650,000.
Including the 60,000 to buy tiger and deer gum for Baifanyu, it equals 1.71 million in cash.
If you add in the 300,000 given to Xiao Ma, it means that your income in these two days has exceeded 2 million.
However, if we take over Baifanyu tomorrow, the five cinemas in Kowloon will cost 2.5 million.
After careful calculation, he found 5 million in cash from Lame Hao's secret warehouse. Adding the 80,000 yuan in scattered money in his hand, he only had 4.29 million left in his hand.
After 12 o'clock in the evening, all the wild monsters in the novice village were wiped out.
The experience also successfully exceeded 100,000 and was upgraded to level 11.
Character: Chu Xiangqian, level 11, 500/150,000
Seeing that the total experience gained from level 11 to level 12 only increased by 50,000, Chu Qianqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After thinking about it, I decided to add points to physical fitness.
Physical fitness 8.8
Strength 3.7
Agile 3.5
A feeling of relief emanated from his body. Chu clenched his fist forward and suddenly felt a little stronger.
Da Zhuang, Hong Niu and Tit are still going to need two or three days to upgrade.
The red rabbit and jade lion were successfully upgraded to level 10 1100/51200.
Originally, after adding 6 points of constitution, 1 point of strength, and 1 point of agility to the two horses, adding agility was the choice to highlight their advantages.
But Chu Xiangqian knew that in the real world, there was no need to make the speed of two horses so fast that it was difficult to understand.
In the end it can only be added to the constitution again.
With his physical constitution of 1.4 +7, Chitu would be able to run at a constant speed of 30 kilometers per hour for an entire day without any problem.
This is the true sense of traveling a thousand miles.
In ancient times, this horse was really invincible under its heavy armor.
Maybe a horse can be exchanged for a city.
Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that Chitu would never let Chitu run an endurance race of hundreds or thousands of kilometers in the future.
Otherwise it would be too scary.
——
The next morning, Chu Xiangqian called Uncle Hai and San Jiangshui, asking them to keep an eye on the crew, and told the director that they would continue filming the drama today.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiangqian went to Huang Weixin Law Firm at the agreed time and discussed with Da Ma and the brothers' lawyers to resolve the change of Oriental Daily shares.
From this moment on, Chu Xiangqian officially entered the Hong Kong newspaper industry.
As soon as the contract was signed, barrister Huang Weixin's attitude towards Chu Xiangqian immediately improved by several levels.
It even made people feel that he was trying to please Chu Xiangqian.
Chu Qianqian, who was planning to wait for the white rice fish to come over and signed the sales contracts for five movie theaters, went to the newspaper office to take a look. He said a few words to Xiaoma and Xiaoma first and asked them to wait for him.
Then he took Huang Weixin to his office, sat down and asked, "Lawyer Huang, are you in trouble?"
Huang Weixin hesitated for a moment, then showed an awkward smile and said, "Chu Sheng, I'm really sorry, if it involves legal issues or things that the police can solve, I don't need to trouble you.
But this time the person causing trouble is a person from Macau, and my methods are really powerless against him. "
Chu nodded forward. As a senior barrister, his network of connections is by no means small.
Even some big associations will never provoke him unless necessary.
As for the policeman, my heart trembles when I see him.
If you make a complaint, you might be transferred from plainclothes to military uniform. Even if you are at the level of detective, you will still have a headache.
But if there is a cross-border lawsuit, it will be him, Barrister Huang, who has the headache.
Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Huang Weixin calmed down his thoughts, lit a cigar for Chu Qianqian, and then said, "I have a client whose child is ignorant and was smitten by a beautiful girl.
He spent hundreds of thousands on that woman.
It would be okay if it was just for money, after all, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
But seeing that there was no hope of entering a wealthy family, the woman actually said that she had a photo of my client's son and that she was pregnant.
Now he is hiding in Macau and colluding with people from the society. If you say it's one million, then abort the child, otherwise not only will the photos be exposed in the newspapers, but you will also raise the child to fight for the family fortune.
I asked someone and found out that the woman was not pregnant. It's just that my client is worried that if it takes too long, he may actually become pregnant with a child and threaten him. "
Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at Huang Weixin, it was just a scumbag who didn't want to take responsibility.
After the gold-worshiping girl's dream of marrying into a rich family was shattered, she just wanted to make a lot of money.
But there is no DNA testing these days. If the woman had a child with someone else's man, it would really be a big trouble.
"Lawyer Huang, it seems that the legal fees paid by your client should be quite high."
Huang Weixin was stunned, smiled awkwardly and said, "The legal fees are indeed very high, but it is not money, but a piece of 4 acres of industrial land worth 20,000 Hong Kong dollars in Tuen Mun, New Territories.
My client doesn't have much money, but he is definitely a big landowner in the New Territories. There are large tracts of land in many villages and towns in the New Territories. "
Chu Xiangqian was moved. Although the New Territories at this time were in the countryside, and because they were leased, the British had never planned to develop them.
But if I remember correctly, it seems that starting in 1960, Tuen Mun was planned to be developed into a new town.
Of course, once the development plan is finalized, it will not be possible to see results within one or two years.
But an acre of land only costs 5,000 yuan. If you spend 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, you can still buy 20 or 40 acres of land. It is not difficult to double or triple the price in two or three years.
If the factory is built and rented out, the rate of return will not be low.
"Has the plan to develop a new town in Tuen Mun been announced?"
Huang Weixin was stunned. He had only found out about this news a few days ago.
Otherwise, how could he have set his sights on the land over Tuen Mun? Unexpectedly, Chu Xiangqian also knew about it, and from what he said about the "new town", it seemed that he knew more than himself.
The importance he attached to Chu Xiangqian in his heart increased to a higher level again, and he nodded and said, "I heard from my teacher that it should be announced within a month or two."
Chu Xiangqian immediately smiled and said, "Lawyer Huang, I don't care about your 4 acres of land, but you have to help me buy a larger piece of industrial land, and I will help you solve the trouble in Macau. How about that?"
"No problem," Huang Weixin agreed immediately. Anyway, customers have plenty of land.
Giving Chu Qianqian 10 acres was only 50,000 yuan.
Compared to the million Hong Kong dollars that woman threatened, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Of course, both Huang Weixin and Chu Xiangqian knew in their hearts that it was impossible for the big landowners in the New Territories to just turn to Huang Weixin to handle this matter when the local power was extremely strong.
So be fast.
Chu Xiangqian picked up the phone on the table and called Deng Fei.
"Hey, who is it?"
"Uncle Deng, I am Achu."
Chu Xiangqian put the phone on the table and asked Huang Weixin to listen.
Only then did he explain selectively, and Deng Fei quickly understood.
He smiled and said, "Chu Sheng, after the person is found, should he be sent back to the New Territory, or should I have someone deal with it directly?"
Chu Qianqian looked at Huang Weixin, how dare this guy speak now.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal Chu Qianqian to make the decision.
Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "Uncle Deng, first let's see if that woman is really pregnant with her child.
If so, then we have to support them in asking for justice.
If it's a lie, that's fine. "
Deng Fei smiled, knowing that Chu Xiangqian had said so much, and the last sentence was the key point.
"Okay, I'll call you and let you know if there's any news."
Chu Xiangqian hung up the phone and looked at Huang Weixin, "Lawyer Huang, it's best to move quickly for the land I want. If possible, I will pay 500,000 to buy 100 acres of industrial land."
"This..." Huang Weixin was frightened by the indifference to human life revealed by Chu Xiangqiang's words just now, "If it's a lie, then it's okay."
When I heard Chu Xiangqian say that he wanted to buy 100 acres of land, I was shocked.
Although the 'new town' plan is about to be announced, not many people are really optimistic about Tuen Mun's prospects.
The reason is simple, there is not much population in that place.
And no matter how good the new town plan is, it cannot compare with Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
Many young people will still go to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
With a small population and the loss of young people, it will be difficult for the real estate industry to make significant achievements for a long time.
If real estate cannot develop, the appearance of the city cannot be changed in a short time.
The development of new town plans is also slow.
Therefore, in Huang Weixin's view, spending 500,000 to buy land in Tuen Mun is worse than buying properties, stores, or even a small building in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
But Chu Xiangqian knew that the development of Tuen Mun did take time, but within a few years, a large number of toy factories would appear in Tuen Mun.
In the 1970s, it once became the largest exporter of toys in the world, and has remained No. 1 in the world all year round.
This requires a large amount of industrial land.
Just keeping these 100 acres of land would bring in a lot of annual rent. The most important thing is that although the business does not make much money, it employs hundreds or thousands of workers, which not only gives a much higher social status than simply wealthy people.
Local influence can also be regarded as a kind of protection for oneself.
Otherwise, Chu Qianqian would be foolish to buy 100 acres of land in a rural place like Tuen Mun.
Even if you don't open a factory in the future, you can still invest in land.
100 acres of land is enough to open an industrial park and attract ten or twenty toy factories to settle there.
If thousands of people work there, those politicians in Tuen Mun will definitely win over them.
Even clinging to oneself.
This is the best means of self-protection.
As for the land investment, it may be occupied by others, and the appreciation of the land will be beneficial.
The worst case scenario is to sign a 10- or 20-year use right with the factory instead of property rights.
Not only in the past 20 years, we have been able to enjoy the development benefits and large dividends of Tuen Mun's industry.
After the land was recovered in the 1980s, it coincided with a special period when the British were about to be driven out, and things could be done with money.
Convert industrial land to commercial land and then build high-rise buildings.
Of course, you can also spend money to convert the land into commercial land now after obtaining it.
Not long after, Baifanyu arrived with his lawyer, and Chu Xiangqian signed a contract with him for the transfer of five cinemas in Kowloon and for Baifanyu to be responsible for the decoration.
In the end, even the playback equipment, Baifanyu patted his chest and said that he could handle it, and even at the cost of 500,000.
Chu Qianqian glanced at Baifanyu, secretly wondering if the old man had something to ask for help from him again.
Huang Weixin whispered in his ear, "Chu Sheng, Mr. Bai is in the parallel import business. He can get cars, hardware, gasoline, etc. from other places into Hong Kong Island.
It is not difficult for him to buy several sets of equipment, and they are at least 50% cheaper. "
Chu Xiangqian felt relieved, and at the same time, he also paid more attention to Baifanyu's attitude.
People who can travel by water, not to mention themselves, even mainlanders might want to win over him.
Not to mention the future, just transporting food is much easier for Baifanyu than others.
But how to bring him into the game requires careful consideration.
Then he took out a box and when he opened it, he saw that it contained a full 2.5 million in cash.
Not to mention the lawyers, even the white rice fish and the big and small horses watching the fun couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva.
When I thought that Chu Qianqian came to Hong Kong Island and could easily take out such a large amount of money in just two or three months, I couldn't help but think that if I follow this guy in business from now on, the money he can earn in a year might be It will be worse than a side business.
It's just that the big and small horses don't have many chips to make Chu Xiangqian's heart beat.
Baifanyu had already taken the lead and even boarded Chu Xiangqian's boat.
"Achu, give uncle me 10 days, and the custodian will work overtime to decorate those 6 cinemas for you.
Once the equipment is purchased, there will be six large cinemas that can seat three to four hundred people.
Plus my four, that's a chain of 10 cinemas.
From now on, my uncle will take advantage of you and transform from a club boss to an entertainment tycoon. "
These words made Xiaoma extremely envious.
Chu Qianqian laughed. If Baifanyu concentrates on filming romance movies and then invests in other types of movies after gaining experience, he will indeed have a high probability of becoming an entertainment tycoon.
After all, he has a movie theater and funds. Within ten years, as long as Lei Luo is in office, he will not have to worry about trouble from societies and other film companies.
It can be said that Baifanyu is uniquely endowed with obvious advantages in this industry.
The big and small ponies congratulated each other repeatedly, but their words repeatedly hinted that they wanted to get involved.
How could it be so easy for Chu Qianqian and Baifanyu to get these two brothers into the game?
Just pretend you don't understand and keep mumbling.
After being polite, Deng Fei's call came in.
Chu Qianqian went to Huang Weixin's office and soon heard Deng Fei say that the woman must indeed be pregnant.
But the child's father is most likely a son-in-law from Macau.
In other words, when the woman was dating the son of Huang Weixin's client, she had always maintained a relationship with a son-in-law.
Chu Xiangqian still had a bottom line after all. He smiled and said to Deng Fei on the other end of the phone, "Uncle Deng, send that woman to the countryside to find someone to marry."
"Okay," Deng Fei said with a smile, "I will take care of this matter and take care of it."
Half a month later, when Deng Fei and Chu Xiangqian were having morning tea with Guangqian, they gave him a photo of a woman and a man taking a photo at the Lion City Pier.
As for that young man, Chu Xiangqian didn't care.
There is a high probability that it has been reclaimed.
——
After leaving the law office, Chu Qianqian drove the car and followed Xiao Ma all the way to the newspaper office.
But he didn't expect the old guy Baifanyu to follow him shamelessly.
Xiaoma and Xiaoma looked unhappy, but when they were at the law firm just now, the two brothers were too shameless to leave. It's really hard to argue with them now.
The four of them entered a 4-story building in East Tsim Sha Tsui with seven or eight younger brothers. Before Chu Qianqian entered, he looked around the surroundings of the newspaper office.
I secretly thought that although it is not worthwhile to buy land in Tsim Sha Tsui now.
But it is still necessary to spend money to buy the tidal flat across the street from the newspaper office and build a warehouse and printing plant.
After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the newspaper office will develop very quickly. The supporting facilities should be built first to avoid hindering the development of the newspaper office.
This is business. Naturally, we cannot look at the issue of land purchase from an investment perspective.
Then, using the excuse of building a courtyard wall, they bought a large area of land and surrounded it with walls.
When the time comes, not only will the newspaper office be short of expanded land, but in twenty or thirty years, after the tidal flats are reclaimed, it will soon become an excellent commercial land.
Chu Xiangqian thought for a while, and simply bought it with his own money, and then licensed it to the newspaper for 10 years at the price of 1 Hong Kong dollar.
Decades later, when he thought about how much billions, or even tens of billions, could be made from this land alone, Chu Xiangqian felt that spending 300,000 to buy 70% of the newspaper's shares was a great deal.
Of course, as long as Chu Xiangqian was willing to spend money, he could easily build a newspaper with one or two hundred thousand.
With the ideas in my mind, there should be a lot to develop.
At least Chu Xiangqian knew that gossip and entertainment newspapers were very popular among ordinary people in this era.
Otherwise, Oriental Daily in the real world would not have sold more than 80,000 copies in just over a year after changing its style.
In another year and a half, daily sales will reach 300,000, and this is not the limit.
At its peak, 580,000 copies were sold in one day.
This is also a sales record for a Hong Kong daily newspaper.
As long as it develops on its own, it will take at least one or two years for the newspaper to stabilize, and Chu Xiangqian is also a little worried. If Da Ma does not give up on Oriental Daily, there may be another chance to grow the newspaper.
It's better to buy this newspaper first, and one article will ruin the opportunity of big and small horses.
Once you are familiar with the two, it will be easier to start other types of newspapers.
After entering the office building of the newspaper and going upstairs, Chu Xiangqian said to Dama beside him, "Brother Dama, can you buy the tidal flat opposite?"
The chubby Dama was stunned for a moment, took a few breaths, and held one hand on the wall of the corridor to calm down before saying, "Chu Sheng, are you thinking about the future expansion of the newspaper office?"
Chu Qianqian nodded, "These lands shouldn't be expensive, and people who don't have long-term concerns will have immediate worries. If you brothers think it's time to slow down, then I will spend the money alone to buy 10 or 20 acres and put them there.
If the newspaper company needs it, I can rent it to the newspaper company at 80% of the market price, and the price can be negotiated every five years. "
Baifanyu knew what Chu Xiangqian was planning as soon as he heard this.
He has said before that money will become less and less valuable. Of course, he should take advantage of the low land prices now to buy a large amount of land and put it aside.
And just like what he said, these tidal flats are not valuable at all. If you buy 10 acres, even if this is East Tsim Sha Tsui, the price will not exceed 200,000.
Dama shook his head. Although the two brothers were prosperous, even if the younger brother chased a female star, he could throw away hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
But asking them to spend 200,000 yuan to buy a tidal flat with no prospects at all was really embarrassing for him.
Seeing Da Ma's hesitation, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Okay, I'll buy it myself, and then build a few warehouses and factories. When the newspaper's sales slowly increase, we will build our own printing factory.
Moreover, I plan to set up this printing house, which will not make a dime except for labor and other expenses, and will specialize in printing newspapers for various local newspapers on Hong Kong Island.
As a result, business is bound to be much lower than other printing plants.
If other newspapers want to cause trouble for us, they will have more scruples.
By the way, our newspaper's own printing costs can also be reduced, and the newspaper will naturally make more money. This can be regarded as transferring the profits of the printing factory to the newspaper.
And this is a good thing for all newspapers. Maybe Malaysian brother will become the first president of the Hong Kong Island Newspaper Association that day. "
Da Ma's eyes lit up when he heard this. In the past few years, he had gained money and many subordinates, and he had long been thinking about how to improve his social status.
The president of an entire industry, just thinking about it makes Malaysia feel that this must be agreed upon.
"How about we buy 10 acres of land together?"
Chu Qianqian waved his hand, "I'll buy the land myself. President of the association, you do it. I'm still young and don't need this."
The pony and the pony's favorable impression of Chu Xiangqian suddenly exploded.
Baifanyu secretly laughed in his heart. Chu Xiangqian had grasped the weakness of Dama's good reputation.
From now on, this fat man obviously does not have as many shares as Chu Xiangqian, but he has to work hard to manage the newspaper office. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is working for Chu Xiangqian.
After meeting He Yisheng, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Chu Qianqian, the new boss, quickly appeared in the big office and greeted all the employees at the newspaper.
He said that his salary would be doubled this month and he would pay for it himself.
He instantly won everyone's favor.
Returning to the editor-in-chief's office, Chu Xiangqian did not sit in the editor-in-chief's seat. Instead, he and Da Ma sat across from the editor-in-chief and began to understand the basic situation of the newspaper.
