Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 183 The Correct Way to Start a Business War

Wang Yaotang was busy with the issue of film sources, while Mo Shi was also busy on the other side.

Although he only got 3% of the shares from Wang Yaotang, he held all of them in his hands and did not distribute them to the society.

However, we plan to give the association a portion of the profits from future concerts and commercial performances.

There is no benefit in being a boss, so what's the point!
Wan Chai, Central, Lockhart Road, Hennessy Road.

As one of the most prosperous areas in Hong Kong Island, there are a total of 12 music stores on these two streets from south to north, and the three largest ones all belong to a man named Yuan Liuqun.

Now it is just music products, not "like" yet, selling vinyl records, tapes, various musical instruments, speakers, posters and other peripherals.

Yuan Liuqun stood behind the counter with a sullen face, his eyes fixed on several noisy customers in the store who had dragon and phoenix tattoos on their bodies and wore gold chains made of unknown material.

"Boss, how much is this tape?"

Yuan Liuqun didn't say anything either, he just kept breathing heavily through his nose.

"Hey boss, what's with your attitude? You don't even answer when I ask you!" a guy yelled.

"The boss doesn't think highly of us gangsters and doesn't want to sell to us."

The two girls pushed the door open and entered the store. Before Yuan Liuqun could say anything, a gangster jumped up and said, "Two beauties, whose tapes do you want to buy?"

The two little girls were startled, took two steps back, turned around and ran away.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you running for? I'm just asking, I'm not trying to seduce you, pick it!" The gangster chased out and yelled.

A police car drove up to the door and stopped. Three police officers pushed the door open and got out. They looked helpless when they saw the three people standing at the door of the store.

"Good afternoon, sir." The gangster smiled and gave a crooked salute.

"Go quickly." The police officers were too lazy to speak.

"Sir, I'm just here to sell tapes, it's not illegal." The gangster spread his hands, "I didn't bring any weapons, I didn't smash the store, I didn't harass the customers. If you chase me away again, I'll file a complaint against you for interfering with the normal business of others."

Before the police officer could say anything, the gangster took out 20 yuan and slapped it on the counter, then picked up a cassette and gestured, "Look, this is a normal purchase, no problem, right?"

"You are not welcome here, get out!" Yuan Liuqun completely collapsed and shouted loudly.

The gangster pointed at Yuan Liuqun with a sullen face, then suddenly smiled, "You are bullying customers because of your size, right? It doesn't matter, I like Principal Tan, I won't pay any attention to you."

Having said that, he twisted his body and walked back.

"Sir!" Yuan Liuqun shouted loudly.

"There's nothing we can do until he does anything illegal." The leading police officer spread his hands.

On the first and second days, they gave orders and the gangsters would give them face and leave even if they had not committed any illegal acts, but these people would turn around and go to the next store.

Face is mutual. As long as the gangsters cooperate, they can't use any other means. But after a long time, the gangsters won't always give them face. So Lao Dong gave them a sum of money and let them spend in the store.

"Then let them make such a fuss. How can I continue to run my business?" Yuan Liuqun shouted loudly.

The police officer also knew that the other party was in a bad mood, and whispered: "Didn't you pay the bill before? Ask the society behind you. We can't arrest people randomly."

"I haven't paid for three years." Yuan Liuqun panted.

Since the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the end of the era of the four major detectives, the power of gangs has declined. The most typical example is on the main roads in busy areas, either in shopping malls or larger stores, where gangs have withdrawn.

Especially the main roads such as Lockhart Road, Hennessy Road and Admiralty Road, next to which is the Hong Kong Police Force, where gangs are going crazy collecting debts.

Yuan Liuqun didn't know whether others would hand over their money voluntarily, but he would not hand it over. If anything happened, he would call the police. He didn't gamble or take drugs, so he was not afraid of the gang members at all.

Now...it's impossible to find someone to talk to.

"You are the police. Is our taxpayers' money paid in vain? Do you believe me when I report you for dereliction of duty?" Yuan Liuqun shouted.

If I can’t deal with the gangsters, I can’t deal with you police officers either!
The three police officers looked at each other, their faces turned cold, "Don't worry, sir. We will leave one person here. If they do anything illegal, we will arrest them immediately."

After saying that, the remaining two turned and left.

Psycho, damn it, good people should be pointed at with guns!

This is how the society does things, first the military force then the courtesy. Lao Dong mobilized more than 300 hooligans. In all the music stores in Hong Kong Island that were not located in big shopping malls, there were hooligans from the Donglian Society.

In a nightclub box.

"This kind of method..." Wang Yaotang smacked his lips, but it was nothing.

Relying on its huge traffic, Tengxun imitated and plagiarized everywhere without paying a penny. It did not show any restraint until Computer World published an article titled "Damn Tengxun" on July 2010, 7.

3Q war remote arrest...

Compared with these, Lao Dong is simply a good guy. His methods are so clean, he is a saint!

"It's not a big deal, but try not to lower the price too much. At least give 7% of the market price. There are so many merchants. If you really run into a few young people who want to fight to the death with you, it will be troublesome. It won't make much money."

The horse is not afraid because the security in the mainland is good and there are so many security guards around.

"Don't worry, I know. I, Lao Dong, have always been fair in doing things." Lao Dong said, pouring a glass of glutinous rice wine for Wang Yaotang, "It's just..."

"What's wrong?" Wang Yaotang turned his head and asked.

"Sun Kee and Shing Wo are holding on to several music stores. Several people asked me why I took such a big action." Lao Dong shook his head and said, "Also, this afternoon, I was called over to the Wan Chai Police Station. The chief also asked me what I wanted to do."

"What did Uncle Mo say?" "I didn't give a reply to the society, and I said I was helping someone at the police station. I came to you right away, so what's your reply?"

"Don't pay attention to the police station." Wang Yaotang laughed, "This is not a gray industry. It is a legitimate business behavior. The police station can only watch. They have a certain say in the industry, especially in an industry with such a large influence. In the future, the police station will have to be more polite when speaking."

"Okay, I understand." Lao Dong nodded.

“How many companies have you acquired?”

"There are more than 140 companies, and we haven't negotiated with more than 20 of the larger ones yet. We need to work on it a little bit."

"How much did it cost?"

"The rent contract and the inventory of the goods in the store cost more than 1700 million in total." Lao Dong raised his glass and the two of them clinked glasses. "I estimate that after acquiring all of them, we can acquire about 200 stores and spend about 4000 million. It's mainly because there will be more than 20 large stores. The musical instruments and audio equipment in their stores are too expensive."

After finishing it in one gulp, Wang Yaotang twitched his lips, feeling a little short of breath. He wanted to return the musical instruments and speakers...

But that's obviously not possible.

After the complete acquisition, it will be able to occupy 8% of the audio-visual market in Hong Kong Island. As the largest audio-visual product chain store, it would be too low-class if it did not sell high-end musical instruments and audio equipment.

After all the acquisitions, some stores will also need to be renovated...

We also need to distribute videotapes...

Seventy percent of the shares would cost about 4000 million...

We also need to purchase the copyright from Shao Laoliu, and also purchase a large number of empty plates...

After a quick mental calculation, Wang Yaotang felt dizzy and wanted to vomit...

It has only been three months since the Jiujiang Street Battle. In addition to the largest income of 2500 million squeezed from Heizihua and his men, the total profit generated by various industries is about 2500 million.

The 1000 tons of cooking oil ordered previously cost more than 700 million yuan. It was not exchanged directly into US dollars from the bank, and the underground exchange rate was slightly higher.

The five industrial replicators ordered cost 5 million, plus some other expenses, there is less than 1500 million left.

What if it’s far from enough?
Pour yourself a glass, drink it in one gulp, and think about where to get some money.

"What? Don't you have enough money?" Lao Dong asked with narrowed eyes.

"I don't have enough cash." Wang Yaotang did not hide it and said with a smile: "No one uses their own cash to do business. I can just go to the bank and get a loan."

"Why go to a bank? I'll lend it to you."

"What?" Wang Yaotang looked over with a half-smile, "Don't you have to pay interest?"

Lao Dong's face froze, "Then you should take out a loan."

Wang Yaotang burst into laughter.

"The videotape factory will assemble equipment tomorrow. Do you want to go and see it?"

"Okay." Lao Dong agreed immediately.

……

The next morning, a motorcade of six cars arrived on the street and headed straight for Changrong Industrial Building.

"Do you have to be so careful?" In the car, Lao Dong looked at the 30-member security team in the four Toyota Hiaces in front and behind, and said speechlessly.

"If Ah Ji hadn't brought nine little brothers with him last time, he would have been killed by Hua Xi!" Wang Yaotang snorted, "There are many people who hope I will die. I will not give anyone a chance!"

"I'm going to replace this car later and order a bulletproof extended Cadillac from the United States."

"Touch me, huh, bring out the cannon!"

"Oh my god, do you have to be so exaggerated?" Lao Dong rolled his eyes.

In the Changrong underground parking lot, Lao Dong was shocked again.

The intercom in Shaze's hand buzzed for a while, and then a voice came out, "Calling the boss, this is security team nine, the defense has been completed, you can enter at any time."

"Boss got it."

"What do you mean?" Lao Dong asked, pointing.

"If someone comes early, we need to set up defenses on the first floor, in the elevator, and on the 12th floor to prevent an ambush." Sha Ze explained.

Lao Dong's mouth twitched a few times, "Damn, the Governor of Hong Kong is not as careful as you, aren't you tired?!"

"It's not tiring. I'll do it all." Wang Yaotang laughed.

When I got to the first floor, the team around me took over the defense of that floor. Some people stayed in the vehicle, and there were four people following us in the elevator. When I came down from the 12th floor, there were security guards in black at the door.

Lao Dong smacked his lips and said, "Don't mention it, it really makes me feel reassured."

After the words fell, Wang Yaotang did not take over. Turning his head, he saw Wang Yaotang frowning and pointing at a middle-aged man in a suit and asked, "What are you doing standing in the corridor? Aren't you setting up the production line?"

"Ah, this..." The middle-aged man was named Guan Houfa, and he was the person in charge of the videotape factory. Wang Yaotang specially recruited him from outside.

"The Japanese engineers said the installation process must be kept confidential and we are not allowed to go in to watch," Guan Houfa said in a low voice.

Wang Yaotang's face suddenly turned dark.
