Chapter 164 I Miss Guan Weiming Very Much
From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Book House.

From being tongue-tied to being a sharp-tongued person.

The meat bomb has extraordinary understanding.

This is a special birthday gift.

Zhai Yuan was so moved that his thighs trembled.

After a night.

Zhai Yuan pulled up his trousers and went back to the company.

Deng Leling lay limply on the bed and gently held his hand.

Her voice was a little hoarse, but her eyes were full of expectation: "I want to discuss something with you."

Zhai Yuan turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Deng Leling hesitated for a moment, then asked carefully, "Can I have a child?"

President Zhai was indeed an expert at playing dumb. He flew into a rage and said, "I treat you as my mistress, and you actually want to be my godmother!"

Deng Leling didn't mind the word "mistress", but was amused by his exaggerated tone. She raised her fist and hit Zhai Yuan's chest a few times.

The two rolled around on the bed and played around for a while. Deng Leling pinched Zhai Yuan's cheek and said with a smile, "Okay, it's okay. Go back to the company. I was just joking with you."

If you pretend to be ignorant, it means you are unwilling. There is no need to ask further.

Zhai Yuan hummed, rubbed his chin against her forehead twice, and asked: "Meat Bomb, if you become a pregnant woman, would you be willing to go abroad?"

Deng Leling showed a hint of joy in her eyes and immediately asked, "Will you come to see me?"

Zhai Yuan half-jokingly said, "Not necessarily."

"You cheap man!" Deng Leling bit his neck with her teeth bared, and said unhappily, "Then I'll think about it again!"

"Okay, go ahead and think about it. If you think it through, you won't have to take medicine next time."

Zhai Yuan left the choice to her. After all, he could afford it. Deng Leling was already in her thirties, but he felt weird because he was too young.

But it’s ok that you know to discuss it with me, just don’t run away with the ball.

Zhai Yuan lay on top of her and took advantage of her using his hands and mouth. Then he stood up again, said hello to Deng Leling, and left Kowloon Tong.

Deng Leling lay on the bed. After a while, she lifted the quilt, wearing only her underwear, and walked to the cabinet with her plump and sweet legs spread out.

She opened the drawer, took out a pill with skillful movements, tilted her head back and swallowed it.

He squatted on the ground barefoot, flattened the snow pile with his knees, and began to bend his fingers.

Thirty-three, after my birthday, I’m thirty-four. The doctor said it’s best not to be too old, but it shouldn’t matter if I wait a few more years.

Looking up at the empty room, Deng Leling sighed depressedly.

She opened the next drawer and pulled out a magazine from her private collection.

The cover of the magazine is printed with a golden cat and a Japanese girl, and the content inside is even more explosive.

"Oh! So this is called double-wrapped sausage."

Deng Leling looked through the illustrations with a serious expression, thinking that if she didn't learn some new tricks, she would be completely uncompetitive when she got old.

…………

After the fifteenth day, the New Year is over.

The Chinese New Year is not a public or statutory holiday in Hong Kong, but there is a five-day holiday on New Year's Day.

Zhai Yuan gave his employees a 15-day long vacation, and if they were willing to work overtime during the period, they would receive overtime pay.

A rare moment of conscience for the capitalists.

After coming out of Kowloon Tong, he drove the Porsche that he gave to Deng Leling and went to the Secret Garden first.

"Roll Bomb is a really incompetent driver. Take a break for two days and let the young driver Haimei drive next time."

After parking the car downstairs of Secret Garden, Zhai Yuan yawned, then got out of the car while pounding his sore lower back.

In the company lobby, the female employees knew that Zhai Yuan would come today, so they sat upright at their workstations early in the morning.

Accompanied by two managers, Chen Jiale and He Jinhua, Zhai Yuan carried a bag of prepared red envelopes and distributed them to them one by one.

We also selected three employees with the best performance last year and gave them bonuses of three thousand, two thousand and one thousand respectively.

Zhai Yuan suddenly had an idea: "How about issuing membership cards for the 1024 Theater?"

He Jinhua imitated his tone and said, "Stop it!"

As usual, I said a few more words to encourage everyone, and then got to the point.

"Starting this year, everyone's base salary will increase from 1,200 yuan to 2,000 yuan, and the commission for making phone calls will be increased by 1 cent. In addition to bonuses at the end of each year, the company will select the ten employees with the best performance and give them a free seven-day trip abroad..."

In addition to salary increases, Zhai Yuan added several benefits to motivate employees, and the secret garden was suddenly filled with cheers from young girls.

"Okay, let's go first."

Amid the jubilation, Zhai Yuan said hello to Chen Jiale, "I will go to 1024 and to do almost the same thing. I won't go to the video hall. You and Ah Chao have been running it. Just take care of it."

Guan Weiming was sent abroad by Zhai Yuan after the Chinese New Year. Among the three countries, he chose Sony in Japan, which was closest to Hong Kong, so he could come back occasionally to visit his wife and children.

The cassette factory is still in operation, with an old employee recommended by Guan Weiming taking over as the temporary manager. Zhai Yuan asked the employee to distribute the benefits to the workers on the assembly line.

Because the factory was moved to the countryside, not only did the workers' salaries increase, but they also had to pay an extra commuting fee. All in all, the cassette factory had basically no profit margin.

"It will be fine once we get the optical disc technology. It's always like this in the early stages."

Zhai Yuan consoled himself by choosing a third option between temporarily shutting down the factory and laying off large numbers of employees.

And the piracy market in Hong Kong is gradually expanding under his remote control.

When doing piracy business, it is impossible to open a shop and storefront widely advertised like the rental stores on the market, otherwise you will be sentenced to jail in minutes.

The current way of doing things in Hong Kong is setting up stalls at night markets and circulating on a small scale.

But Zhai Yuan planned a more advanced set of processes for Chen Jiale.

Just like Ah Fen in the later movie “The Disciples” selling pirated discs, they organized a group of idiots like Ah Fen, asked them to pay a deposit to get the goods from the factory, and then dispersed them all over Hong Kong Island, and then came back to collect the deposit and commission after the goods were sold.

However, this method does not require much technical skills and can be easily manipulated by people in the community.

So Zhai Yuan had to contact Huang Jun and discuss the deal with him.

…………

"Brother Jun, this is my friend, Carlos Chan."

After finishing the "employee pie-in-the-sky conference" of 1024 and , Zhai Yuan dragged his tired body and asked Huang Jun, the temporary leader of Xinji, to come out and have him meet with Chen Jiale.

In the Rich Man Nightclub, the country bumpkin Carlos Chan seemed to be blinded by the bright lights and nightlife.

So when Huang Jun stretched out his hand in front of him to greet him, Chen Jiale was still staring at the dancer's white thighs in a daze. He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and quickly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Huang Jun.

Huang Jun laughed and said, "Boss Zhai, your friend is interesting and has a very emotional personality!"

Zhai Yuan patted his forehead and said, "You shameless thing. I should have known not to bring you out."

"Go, keep this Jiale brother company."

At Huang Jun's command, several simply dressed girls rushed forward and surrounded Chen Jiale.

"No, Brother Yuan!"

Chen Jiale broke free from the beauties, squeezed next to Zhai Yuan and whispered, "Many guests of Secret Garden have asked to meet the woman on the phone, but if those gossipy women from the company show up, they will definitely be scared away. There are so many beauties here, why not invite a few back to help out?"

Wow, they’ve poached people from Xinji’s headquarters.

Zhai Yuan glared at him and said, "Our company is now engaged in the emotional service business, which is legal. If you do this, you will ask the organization to lead decent women to sell their bodies. When the anti-pornography team comes to your house, will you go with them or should I go with them?"

Carlos Chan still doesn’t understand the Secret Garden’s business model. In other places, customers are king, but here, customers are pouty and they have to be kept hanging all the time.

It is impossible to meet, unless the man on the other end of the phone is more capable than the prostitute who escaped from the fire pit after being harmed by the groom, and deceives them again.

"Let's not talk about the secret garden today. Let's talk about another business."

Zhai Yuan patted his arm, signaling Chen Jiale to shut up first, then looked up at Huang Jun and said with a smile: "My brother is from the countryside, Yuen Long. He has a cassette factory in the countryside of Yuen Long, specializing in the production of videotapes. This guy recently figured out a way to make money at home and told me about it. I think it's very promising. But this business is not suitable for me, and it's easy to get into trouble with gangsters, so I brought him to see Brother Jun, I hope you two can have something to talk about."

According to the rhetoric he had learned before coming here, Chen Jiale took the initiative to introduce the pirated videotape business to Huang Jun.

Huang Jun was quite interested in the concept of pirated copies. Nowadays, those who make pirated copies use genuine tapes to burn them, but he has never seen anyone sneak into a theater to take pictures.

This made Huang Jun think of what happened some time ago, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

"Oh~ So it was you who made the videotape of Project A? Jiahe didn't release the genuine cassettes, so I specially collected a box of your factory's products."

"No, that was done by Nanya Acha, and Jiale brother was also inspired by it."

Zhai Yuan said with a smile, and Chen Jiale immediately nodded in agreement.

Since there is no evidence of pirating the New Year's film, we have to insist that we never did it.

As for piracy now, that is another matter.

Carlos Chan is the mastermind.

Zhai Yuan said, "But with Nan Ya Acha's move, there will be a new way to pirate movies. We don't have to wait for the official release of videotapes. We can make and sell them after the movie is released. Brother Jia Le has a factory, and Brother Jun has manpower. How about it? Are you interested in trying to cooperate?"

"It doesn't sound like much. Hey, Brother Jiale, how many millions do you think you can make in a month by doing this?"

Huang Jun had indeed seen a lot of money, and he shocked Chen Jiale as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhai Yuan smiled and thought that in the current pirated market, after deducting the cost, he would probably only make a profit of ten or eight yuan from a box of pirated videotapes. There was no way the profit would be that high.

He answered on behalf of Carlos Chan: "A few million, no, hundreds of thousands will be about the same after it becomes big."

Huang Jun looked uninterested when he heard this: "To be honest, I'm not very interested. You know my current status is different from before. I'm busy as hell every day, and I have no time to take care of this kind of small business. But if you're short of people, I can introduce a few friends to you. They're all brothers I trust. Just don't offer too low a price."

Zhai Yuan smiled and nodded.

Since Xin Ji is willing to send people, even if the business is half done, at least we don’t have to worry about encountering other short-sighted societies.

Seizing the market now is all about preparing for the future. Once the optical disc technology is mastered, the videotapes in Jiaomao's hands can be seamlessly switched to optical discs. Other pirates who want to get in will have to rely on their own attitude.

At this moment, Zhai Yuan missed Manager Guan who was far away in Japan very much.

Lao Guan, please come back with your skills soon. You can’t run away with the money. Your wife and children are in my hands!
