Chu Xiangqian thought about Sir Zhou for a long time, and finally decided to ignore him. After all, the person named Zhou had not offended him.
It's not clear whether this person is a good guy or a bad guy. As for his son, Lan Gang can just check it out.
When Lan Gang encounters a nail, he helps himself. Not only does he have a reason to take action, but he can also gain Lan Gang's favor.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Looking at Zhang Rongfei, his younger brothers and female pilots, he asked, "How much money can you make in a month now?"
Zhang Rongfei hesitated for a few seconds, then said with a grimace, "The place I looked at could get two to three thousand a month.
But I have about ten people under me. Everyone gets a share, plus food and drink. If I get it every month, I can get two or three hundred at most.
If the business of the place is not that good, the money I get will only be enough to buy food and cook for my mother. "
Chu Xiangqian naturally looked down on Zhang Rongfei's younger brothers, as well as the female flyers who came out to do mischief at a young age.
But he also knew that it was simply unrealistic to ask Zhang Rongfei to draw a clear line between him and his subordinates now.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Boss Baifanyubai and I jointly opened 11 movie theaters, and I occupied seven of them.
One of them is in Causeway Bay, and the other six are in Sham Shui Po, Prince Edward Road, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Jordan and Ho Man Tin in Kowloon.
Ah Rong, if you are willing, I will leave the cinema in Causeway Bay to you after the cinema is renovated.
As for your subordinates, those who are willing to work with you will work as ticket collectors in movie theaters or something like that. Regular salary is paid every month.
If you don't want to, just leave the place you are looking at to them. "
Zhang Rongfei was hesitant at first, but Chu Xiangqian didn't give him time to think about it.
He smiled and said, "Pretty boy, you have to think clearly, I am your boss now. According to the rules of the world, what will happen if you don't listen to what the boss says?"
Zhang Rongfei felt nervous and secretly thought that he was really confused.
I have paid my respects to the big boss, and the big boss has also given me the place to look after, and is even the manager, and pays everyone's wages. If you still dare not listen, it will be easy to have your hands and feet interrupted.
But it's hard to say how many younger brothers will follow him.
Not to mention, the boss deliberately asked himself to hand over the previous situation to his subordinates who were unwilling to follow him.
For the income of two to three thousand yuan a month, most of them would definitely be willing to stay in the dance hall.
By then, it would be good if two or three of them could follow me to the cinema.
Chu Xiangqian's purpose was also very simple, which was to separate Zhang Rongfei's subordinates by relying on profit.
Let Zhang Rongfei look at a movie theater. If this kid works for a long time in the future, not only will he most likely be interested in making movies and singing, but his acting skills may also improve a lot.
After giving Liang Zai Rong a week to deal with the matters at the previous place, Zhang Rongfei had no intention of staying at the Peninsula Hotel, so he said hello to Chu Qianqian and left.
Not long after, Huang Weixin waited for three lawyers to walk in quickly, and was led by the waiter to Chu Qianqian's side.
After casually tipping the waiter 2 yuan, Chu Qianqian asked someone to sit down and took out the design drawing of the swing stick and handed it to Huang Weixin.
Although Barrister Huang is a senior lawyer, he himself is not an expert in patents.
He handed the drawings to a middle-aged man. The man and two other young lawyers murmured for a while, then smiled and said to Chu Qianqian, "Sheng Chu, my name is Billy Zhou. I am a law firm specializing in international patents. lawyer.
There is no problem in applying for a patent for the swing stick you designed.
With some connections, the patent application on Hong Kong Island can be completed in ten and a half months, and then we can apply for protection measures in the Commonwealth.
But to be honest, it is difficult to restrict others from imitating. "
Chu waved his hand forward, let alone now, there will be many small inventions in the future, and the patent is just a piece of paper.
"My request is very simple. For official procurement or military and police procurement, I must be paid royalties or licensing fees."
Billy Zhou has no problem now, "Don't worry, if we do a good job at this point, then we don't need to be a patent lawyer."
Chu Qianqian twitched the corner of his mouth. If he really handed over the patent application and future lawsuits to them, and if there was an infringement case, the law firm would be responsible to the end.
But they have to give them 3% of the profits brought by the patent.
Of course, you can also choose to only pay attorney fees, but in the future you will have to find someone to investigate and keep an eye on any infringements.
This is simply unrealistic. Even if others have been using it for several years, they may not even know it.
It would be better to leave this matter to a law firm with connections in Hong Kong Island and England.
Chu Qianqian silently calculated that even if a stick sold for HK$50, 100,000 sticks would only cost 5 million.
After deducting Chen's capital, he may earn three to four million, and the fees to the law firm are 90,000 to 120,000.
And these 100,000 pieces may not be sold for several years, or even seven or eight years.
The cost of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a year seems not expensive to buy a few professional lawyers to look after you.
However, when I thought about it, a war would break out in Vietnam in less than a year or two. This would be possible if the US military had connections.
Maybe the first batch of orders will be 10,000, 20,000, or even tens of thousands.
After all, converted into US dollars, 10,000 sticks are only 125,000 US dollars.
"2%, this list is left to you."
Huang Weixin and Zhou Bili looked at each other. Zhou Bili wanted to negotiate the price, but Huang Weixin agreed immediately.
In his opinion, this baton is not necessarily better than the existing baton. If it is too expensive, the police force will not be able to purchase it in large quantities.
As for selling abroad, it's not that easy.
In this case, it is better to take a step back, make good friends with Chu Xiangqian, and at the same time, strive for a law firm to become the legal consultant for the movie theater chain and Chu Xiangqiang's other future businesses.
Besides, Chu solved the trouble that the law firm couldn't deal with with just one phone call to Xiang Xiang, so making friends with him was mutually beneficial.
Billy Zhou is just a partner, and Wilson Huang is the boss of the law firm.
After thinking about it, I felt that there must be a reason for this, so I didn't say anything and allowed Huang Weixin and Chu Xiangqian to sign the contract.
After the contract was signed, Huang Weixin promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, the patent on Hong Kong Island will be issued within three days. In England, it will take about one month. As for the United States, three months should be no problem."
While Chu nodded forward, he was also thinking that when he met with Qian Guotai in the afternoon, he would have to ask him to talk to his superiors and make a few samples for testing.
If the quality and price are lower than those on Hong Kong Island, then give the order to the mainland.
Moreover, when exporting, the three sections of the swing stick can be shipped in batches. In this way, it is raw materials instead of weapons.
When the time comes, if I sell it to the Americans, the country will not care about this kind of defensive weapon that is not even a dagger.
The Americans are eager to help them produce military supplies at home.
Chu Xiangqian will wait for the actual purchase from the United States, then immediately value the company at one to two million U.S. dollars, give some shares to people in the U.S. military, or sell it directly to a company run by the military at a discount of 25%.
Even if you check it out then, don’t even think about causing trouble for yourself.
After seeing off Huang Weixin and others, Chu looked forward at his watch and saw that it was almost noon.
I simply called Feifei in the luxury suite, and then went to the hotel restaurant.
Half an hour later, Chu Xiangqian, who was reading today's Oriental Daily, saw Feifei following the waiter to him with brisk steps.
Chu Xiangqian said to the waiter, "Let the food be served."
Then he pointed to the seat opposite him and said to Feifei, "Sit down, I'll order some tonic and steak for you."
Feifei's face lit up and she sat down obediently. During the meal, she didn't even bother to eat. She picked up food and poured tea for Chu Qianqian from time to time.
Chu Xiangqian was a little uncomfortable with being served like this, but at the same time he felt quite comfortable.
After finishing lunch and returning to the suite, the little girl put her arms around Chu Qianqian and asked in a low voice, "Honey, hubby, I want to go home and talk to my mother about my current situation this afternoon. If you are free, can you accompany me?" Can I go back?"
Chu, who was half lying on the sofa, rolled his eyes forward, not knowing what this little girl was thinking.
"Have you called your mother in the past two days?"
Feifei nodded. After getting up yesterday morning, she had already called her home.
Of course, the call was not made directly to the home, but to the grocery store downstairs.
And Feifei is not stupid. She has known very well what her biological mother is like over the years.
Not to mention that he was almost sold to the Walled City boss as an outhouse.
He just said that he was fine and that it would take two days before he could go home.
In case my mother knew that she was staying in a luxurious suite at the Peninsula Hotel, she would immediately come over and cause trouble.
If she offends her man, she won't even do anything for the little wife.
Chu Qianqian saw that Feifei had already called home, but her gambling addict didn't show up at the hotel. He knew what this girl was thinking after a little thought.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "How do you plan to get along with your mother?"
Feifei pouted, "I definitely can't ignore her."
After saying that, he stood up and sat on Chu Qianqian's legs, put his head on his chest and muttered, "I want to give her 200 yuan from my pocket money every month, okay?"
Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that this little girl was still sober. Once Lan Gang succeeded, she should be able to solve those troublesome problems at once.
And it's actually a good thing for her mother.
He reached out and patted Feifei on the back, and asked with a smile, "Is 1,000 a month enough for you?"
Feifei nodded hurriedly, "I have never had more than 50 yuan in money since I was a child. I don't even know how to spend 1,000 yuan a month?"
When Chu Qianqian heard this, he knew that the little girl in his arms was also a poor person.
He smiled and said, "Then buy a house with 500 installments, 6,000 a year, 12,000 in two years, which is enough for you to buy a 600-700-square-foot house in Kowloon."
If you follow me for ten years and have five or six houses in hand, just collecting rent, you won't have to worry about retirement. "
Feifei curled her lips and thought to herself, you bastard, you still want to get rid of me, and I won't let you succeed.
However, what Chu Xiangqian said just now also reminded her that she should really save some money and use all the money to buy a house or a store.
"Husband, when you are not around, can I bring my little sisters to play here?"
Chu Xiangqian raised Feifei's chin in a funny way, "Are you stupid? Don't you know who your sisters are?
Just to show off, bring other women in front of me, aren't you afraid of your sisters secretly seducing me? "
Unexpectedly, Feifei curled her lips and said, "I'm stopping you here. Could it be that you won't provoke other women outside?"
Chu Xiangqian immediately realized that because this little girl had lived in a single-parent family since she was a child, and her biological mother was also unreliable, her outlook on life was somewhat different from that of other people of the same age.
Of course, this also means that he arranged to put her in a hotel instead of using the annual fee for a luxury suite to buy a thousand-square-foot house for her to live in. It made her realize that it was impossible for her to join a wealthy family.
Even if you are not careful, you will be abandoned.
The mentality is naturally a little different.
Seeing that Chu Xiangqian didn't answer, Feifei curled her lips again, secretly cursing the duplicity.
But he said, "Husband, I have a sister who is actually very beautiful. How about I let her live in her room too, okay?"
After Chu Xiangqian heard this, he almost choked on his saliva.
With a surprised expression, he looked at the pretty face that was so close, so charming and a little green.
I immediately guessed that this woman was extremely insecure now.
"Forget it, if you are obedient, I won't let you go."
Feifei was so happy that she was so excited that she didn't even care that she was in trouble. She put her arms around Chu Qianqian's neck and kissed her.
Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian was still rational. He was just addicted to hand skills and did not really show off the stick skills he had learned.
At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian didn't drive. He used a handbag and carried two breadfruits that had been roasted in a Novice Village restaurant to the beach outside the Peninsula Hotel.
The chickadee had also been found a long time ago, and Qian Cathay was already fishing on a river embankment.
With the tits watching, Chu Qianqian could see clearly the situation around the seawall.
Even across the bay in Wan Chai, Titmouse flew over and checked twice to make sure no one was following him or staring at Qian Guotai.
No one was looking through binoculars from across the bay.
Then he walked over to Qian Guotai and sat down.
He wanted to take out a thin cigar, but Qian Cathay took out a box of cigars first and said with a smile, "Try the cigars produced in the mainland. If you like it, I will get more for you in the future."
Chu Qianqian took it and saw that it was the Great Wall, but he was not very interested.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, domestic cigars were still very popular. The most famous Moduheng brand cost 2 yuan a cigarette at that time.
But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the cigar market basically disappeared. Over the next few decades, even if the country becomes richer and richer in the future, there will still be very few people smoking cigars.
Chu Qianqian lit one and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. The taste was actually better than the thin cigars he bought for 20 yuan a box.
Qian Guotai smiled and said, "This is a treat specially used in the mainland to entertain foreign guests."
Only then did Chu Xiangqian realize that with the Chinese people's hospitality and face-saving practices, they always provide the best to their guests.
"How much does a box cost?"
Qian Guotai smiled after hearing this. This cigar is indeed for entertaining foreign guests, but it can only go out but not in, let alone break even. If you want to improve or add new varieties, you will have to have funds.
Then I thought about trying Chu Xiangqian to see if it could be sold on Hong Kong Island.
