Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 8: The Right Way to Make Money

"If there is a way to make money, Brother Snake will definitely have a share. We are all good brothers."

"Okay, I've been busy all day and I'm super sleepy. I'll call you when the business is finalized."

"Good night."

Chi Mengli lacks nothing but initial start-up capital. Dusheming has money, so he can join in. Having many friends and few enemies will not harm the business.

Of course, you still have to be on guard, otherwise you won’t even know you’ve been betrayed.

Chi Mengli and Bo Xidong said goodbye to Dusheming, walked out of Ruixing Queguan together, and got into the van. Bo Xidong started the engine skillfully, turned the van around, and headed towards the Pearl Building on Shau Kei Wan East Street.

The hero is trapped in Shau Kei Wan and has no idea when he will reach Central.

The road network in Hong Kong Island is not well developed. In addition, Shau Kei Wan is far away from Central, Wan Chai and other places, so transportation is very inconvenient. There are only two trams to Central.

Due to the shoddy workmanship of the White Tramway Company, only one-way track was laid between Causeway Bay and Shau Kei Wan.

When the tram reaches Shau Kei Wan, if there is another tram coming from Causeway Bay, the tram on the Shau Kei Wan side will be trapped in Shau Kei Wan and will have to wait for the other tram to arrive before it can leave, so it will not know when it will reach Central.

Similarly, Shau Kei Wan is also a gathering place for gangsters in Hong Kong Island. There are wooden houses and tin houses on the hills, and large construction sites everywhere. Trucks are pulling sand and gravel to Chai Wan for land reclamation. Housing estate buildings are rising from the ground.

The van drove along Emperor Avenue. Bocaidong kept yawning. Looking at Chi Mengli, who was resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, he said hesitantly, "Brother Sheng, the news that you killed Hongtai has been known to all the brothers in the underworld."

"Should I let you take care of the place that Grandpa has?"

"Even though there is only one video game arcade, one nightclub, and the company's three mahjong parlors left, not to mention the extras, plus valet parking, it still costs 10,000 or 20,000 a month."

“Are we developed yet?”

developed!?
Bullshit about being developed!

If Chi Mengli guessed correctly, Shenxian Jin was planning to use himself as a cannon to attract firepower.

"People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. If you want to be rich, you must first check if your neck is thick enough. Is your neck thick enough?"

"A short mule who doesn't use his brain will be a short mule all his life."

"I asked you to find Taiwen and Daozifei to build relationships. What did they say?"

Taiwen and Daozaifei were new recruits trained by the Yau Ma Tei Gang and only listened to Robin. When Lianhua left, he also tried to win over these two popular figures from the Yau Ma Tei Gang, but failed.

Bo Xidong has a good relationship with these two people, and Chi Mengli wants to try to win them over, but he is short of manpower.

"Don't mention these two idiots. They can't be persuaded at all. They all say they're waiting for Brother Robin to come back."

"But they are unlucky. Lao Fu's uncle Jie always makes trouble for them and wants to drive them out of Yau Ma Tei."

"Brother Sheng, I do know two new friends. They are ruthless and good at fighting. Do you want to bring them over? We need help now!"

"Otherwise, there's no one to do valet parking. Can't you and I park on the street?"

When Bo Xidong mentioned Taiwen and Daozifei, he became furious. There was obviously no car in front of him, but he still slammed it hard, and the broken horn of the van made a shrill sound.

After venting his anger, he asked hesitantly, "Brother Sheng, tell Viper clearly that there is a new way to make money, so we won't watch the show anymore?"

"Watch it! Of course I have to watch it." "Without the place, how can I support you idiots?"

If you don't want to follow, then don't follow. There are many bad guys in Shau Kei Wan who are fierce in fighting and don't care about their lives. Chi Mengli opened his eyes, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter.

You have to look at the venue, but you also have to do legitimate business.

He researched for a month and found a good way to make money, with no investment and huge profits, and it was also a legal business.

There are advertisements on trams in Hong Kong, but not on minibuses. The minibus market in Hong Kong is very chaotic. Some are operated by formal companies, such as Hong Kong Electric, and some are controlled by financial institutions, such as Xinji's Tiansheng.

But 80 percent of them are privately contracted. They spend three thousand dollars to apply for a license from the municipal government, buy a minibus that meets the requirements, and then they can start operating.

Such fish are the most miserable. They need to pay according to the station, otherwise they will be troubled by the people in charge.

However, the general practice is that minibus owners join Xinji, pay monthly membership fees, and do business under the name of Xinji to reduce trouble. This is why three out of ten Hong Kong people have the word "Xinji" in their names.

There are at least a dozen excellent advertising spots on the car body, front, rear and inside.

It is very easy to open a company in Hong Kong. You can just find a law firm, pay 300 yuan in service fees, 200 yuan in notarization fees, 1,000 yuan in stamp duty, and 10,000 yuan in registered capital, which does not require actual payment. You can just find a tenement building in Yau Ma Tei and open the business.

That is to say, you need to hire a designer, but you can hire a part-time college student from the University of Hong Kong and change him once a month, so the workload is not large.

As for advertising printing, it is even simpler. You can just find the printing factory affiliated with Oriental Press. The price is fair and no one dares to cause trouble.

This is the property of Paper Horse Ma Xiru. Although the two Ma brothers fled to Tainan, their subordinates and their namesake are still there, they have sufficient silver and banknotes, and people in the underworld all give them face.

According to Chi Mengli's investigation, there are now more than 400 minibuses in Hong Kong, traveling between Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. This is definitely a blue ocean market.

Of course, it’s not that no major advertising companies have noticed this market, but the complexity and uncertainty of revenue have caused these major companies to give up on this market.

This gave Chi Mengli an opportunity. He could handle the troubles that big advertising companies disliked, or to be more precise, he himself was the trouble itself. As for future profits, he was very sure that this was a very promising market.

Bocaidong didn't know that his boss had found a good way to make money, so he parked his car at the Mingzhu Building.

Chi Mengli lives in this housing estate building, a 30-storey building with more than 2,000 units and more than 8,000 residents.

The largest unit in the estate is 30 square meters, and the smallest is 15 square meters. If converted into feet, it sounds very grand, at least 270 feet.

This apartment was left by Chi Mengli's grandfather. His second uncle and his family immigrated to Malaysia and there has been no news of them for more than ten years. Before his grandfather passed away, he passed the house to him.

When Chi Mengli saw the car stopped, he jumped out.

Bocaidong needed to return his brother's car, and he didn't want to delay the delivery during the day, so he drove away.

Going to return the car was just an excuse. Now that he had money in his pocket, this crazy guy would definitely go out and have some fun until all the money was spent.

Chi Mengli was too lazy to expose the truth and walked into the building, yawning. The old man in the security room was dozing off. He walked lightly into the elevator and pressed the button for the 15th floor.

After returning home, Chi Mengli looked at the only fixed asset under his name, a mansion of more than 160 square feet with an entire house of only 18 square meters.

The funny thing is that the bedroom of this huge mansion can't even accommodate a larger double bed.

He threw his coat on the solid wood sofa chair, walked into the bedroom, lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
