Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1011 The Medicine Hong Kong Needs Most, "The Big Boss's Friend Has Arrived!" (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

After he took out this thing, Li Chong and the others next to Fang Yan immediately became nervous.

Their profession naturally makes them wary of such things.

Fortunately, Chu Bin laughed it off, then closed the drawer and said with a smile:

"However, things aren't that serious. Right now, they're still testing me. It's not time for a real confrontation yet."

"I will not use this unless absolutely necessary."

Fang Yan nodded after hearing this. The reason Chu Bin showed it to Fang Yan was to let him know that he had the ability to solve problems.

Of course, some things can't be solved simply by having a gun.

It requires more thinking.

"Take care of your safety; safety is the most important thing," Fang Yan said to Chu Bin.

The other party smiled and nodded.

Then, seeing all those bottles and jars, he asked:

"By the way, you've been in Hong Kong for so many years, you must have some understanding of the Hong Kong market. Are there any types of medicines you'd like to add?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Bin's eyes lit up, and he quickly said:

Yes! Absolutely!

"The largest market here is still the working class at the bottom."

"I think the most important thing to target is their medicines."

Judging from his expression, he had clearly been thinking about it for a long time. Fang Yan asked him:
"Hmm, for example?"

Chu Bin immediately said:

"For example, are there any medicines that can immediately replenish energy after being eaten or drunk, or medicines that can make you feel energetic again after taking a cold or being sick, and then taking a nap?"

Fang Yan suddenly thought of several brands of energy drinks and cold medicine.

He stroked his chin and said:

"Yes, there is..."

Before he could finish speaking in dialect, Chu Bin immediately said:

“Then we need this kind of product. The market potential is absolutely huge. Selling just one or two kinds of drugs could become the most profitable type for the company, and it’s the same not only in Hong Kong, but also in other places.”

"As long as it meets the import standards of other countries, this drug will always have a market."

Fang Yan nodded. This was indeed a market gap before. Chu Bin's ability to see the market potential in this area shows that he does have some skills, but he just doesn't have the technology.

But dialects do exist.

After thinking about it, I felt that using dialects might be a viable option, so I said:
"Okay, I understand what you mean."

"I'll find a way to get the medicine out when I get back."

Upon hearing Fang Yan agree, Chu Bin immediately responded:
"Great! I'm confident that Mr. Fang can handle this!"

Then Fang Yan asked him:
"By the way, I heard that you also manage other businesses here in Hong Kong, such as media, advertising, television, and film?"

Chu Bin nodded:

"Yes, I manage them all. There are relatively few people in Hong Kong right now, otherwise I wouldn't be in charge of so many things by myself."

After saying that, he suddenly realized something and asked:

"Mr. Fang, would you like to go and take a look?"

Fang Yan nodded and said:

"Just tell me the location, I can go by myself. You seem pretty busy."

Chu Bin said:

"No, please. I'll take you there. Mr. Hu has already made arrangements so that I can be your tour guide while you're here."

Fang Yan shook his head and said:
"Let's forget it. You're a big target right now. If I, a complete stranger, go out with you, I'll be spotted immediately."

Upon hearing this, Chu Bin scratched his head and said:
"Um... that's true, then I'll find someone to be your tour guide."

Fang Yan thought for a moment and nodded:
"alright."

Then Chu Bin called out downstairs:
"Xiao Xiang, come up here for a moment!"

Then a young woman who had been on the second floor came up.

She wasn't the prettiest among the group; her skin was a bit dark, and her eyes held a clever glint. She asked Chu Bin:

"Excuse me, boss, what can I do for you?"

Chu Bin said:

"Don't speak Cantonese."

Then, pointing to the dialect, he said:

"I'll have you act as this gentleman's tour guide and take a look at our company's newspaper and film set."

"Oh, I understand!" Xiao Xiang nodded.

Chu Bin said to Fang Yan:

"Her name is Xiao Xiang. Her parents are from the mainland. She has a good talent for languages ​​and knows the local customs and culture very well."

"Just ask her if you don't understand anything."

Fang Yan nodded.

Then Xiao Xiang leaned closer and asked Fang Yan:

"What is your name, sir?"

Fang Yan thought for a moment and said:
"His surname is He."

Xiao Xiang extends his hand:
"Oh, Mr. He, hello, hello!"

"Hello!" Fang Yan shook hands with the other person.

Fang Yan asked Xiao Xiang for directions to the newspaper office and the film set.

Xiao Xiang responded in dialect:
"The newspaper office is located in the North Point Industrial Building at 499 King's Road, North Point. That's one of our partner newspapers. From there, you can take the Star Ferry and then a bus, which takes about 40 to 50 minutes."

"If it's about going to a film set, I don't know which one Mr. Fang is planning to go to. Recently, in order to catch up with the schedule, they are filming at two film sets at the same time. There is Shaw Studios in Clearwater Bay, which is an important base for Hong Kong films. It's a bit far away, and it takes more than an hour by car."

"There's another one that's relatively close by. There's a small film studio near Yau Ma Tei that's often rented by independent producers and small film crews. It's about a 20-minute taxi ride from here."

I knew the dialect was a bit far, but I didn't expect it to be this far.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Xiao Xiang:

"Then just tell me the location. I have other things to do today. If I have time after I finish, I'll go by myself."

Hearing Fang Yan say this, Chu Bin, who was standing nearby, asked:

"If you think it's too far, you can just call a car over?"

Fang Yan shook his head and said to Chu Bin:

"No need, I still have a lot to do today. I don't know when I'll finish the important business. I think we can go to these places later."

"No need to trouble you."

Hearing that Fang Yan had already made a decision, Chu Bin had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Then he took out paper and pen and wrote down the addresses of several places, and handed them to Fang Yan:

"These are the addresses of a few places. When you arrive, just give them my name and I'll let them know."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you." Fang Yan nodded.

Fang Yan then said goodbye to Chu Bin and led Deng Cai and the other two downstairs.

Chu Bin escorted them to the door and even hailed a taxi.

Fang Yan then planned to go find Le Miao.

After getting on the bus, Fang Yan spoke to the driver in Cantonese:

"Go to Hong Kong University."

The other person nodded and started the car.

Heading towards Hong Kong University, located five kilometers away on Pok Fu Lam Road East.

Standing at the door watching Fang Yan and the others leave, Chu Bin scratched his head and then said to Xiao Xiang beside him:

"Remember! Be quick! Tell everyone that the big boss's friend is here and could arrive at any time. Tell everyone to be alert and not let others look down on us!"
