The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 214: Flourishing
Guan Zai Sen was ecstatic!
He didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, so what else is there to say.

The first thing he did was to go to the film company and find his boss, Long Gen.

"What? Second Young Master Lin supports you in the goods-stripping business?"

Long Gen, who was having a great time, was very unhappy because Guan Zaisen interrupted his fun. But after hearing Guan Zaisen's explanation, he was shocked and his face was full of joy.

"Yes, Boss, this is a rare opportunity, we must not let it go!"

Guan Zai Sen said cheerfully, "I heard that the smuggling business is very profitable!"

“It’s really profitable!”

Long Gen chuckled and said, "I heard that those who do big business in shipping goods make tens of millions in profit a year!"

"Boss, with Young Master Lin's secret support, we won't be short of supplies!"

Guan Zaisen said excitedly, "As long as we can establish connections in Southeast Asia, the future profits will be staggering. We need your help, Boss!"

"It's not difficult!"

Long Gen said in a deep voice: "As long as the factory price of the clothes produced by the Lin family clothing factory is not too outrageous, we will make money by shipping them to Southeast Asia!"

"But, how did you contact Second Young Master Lin?"

Having said that, the look he gave Guan Zaisen was full of suspicion.

Guan Zaisen's heart trembled, and he certainly would not reveal what Wu Feng had said. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Boss, when you're not in the nightclub, Young Master Lin and a bunch of friends often hang out there!"

"I helped solve a few minor problems, and eventually I got to know Young Master Lin!"

"Then why did Second Young Master Lin start the business of moving goods?"

Long Gen continued to ask: "You know, those businessmen are very averse to having any obvious disputes with us!"

This is the situation in Hong Kong Island!
Who doesn’t know that those wealthy people are secretly the financial backers of major social groups?

But on the surface, he acts as if he has nothing to do with the society, as if whoever is involved with the society is unclean.

Over time, even the leaders of the community got used to this customary rule.

In fact, this is just another way to solidify the class and raise the entry threshold for new wealthy people.

In Hong Kong Island, unless you are a tycoon like Liu Cixin who specializes in stock market sniping, you will more or less have dealings with gangs.

As long as the wealthy have a hold on them, the newly wealthy will be cautious and even feel inferior when they challenge their status.

This is also what Long Gen is confused about!

Young Master Lin is not an unknown person, he is often in the gossip news.

This person is extremely favored by Lin Baiyi and seems to be the successor to the Lin family business.

With such advantages, you just need to wait patiently for the succession and there is no need to take risks and get involved in the goods transportation business.

"Boss, you forgot that Young Master Lin has already become very successful!"

Guan Zaisen reminded him, "Mr. Lin is the most outstanding new rich man in Hong Kong Island. Even Mr. Lin Baiyi wouldn't dare to underestimate him!"

"Maybe something happened within the Lin family, causing Young Master Lin to feel pressured!"

"It's not easy to take over safely!"

"Oh, I see!"

Long Gen suddenly realized something and finally let down his guard. He chuckled and said, "Since we have such a good opportunity, we must seize it!"

"Boss, the strength of our Mong Kok branch is a little insufficient, right?"

Guan Zaisen raised an opinion: "The key is that our hall does not have a direct port!"

"Then what do you think?"

Long Gen frowned. This was indeed a problem. After all, if the volume of goods was large, the required means of transportation could not be bad, otherwise it would be a joke.

"My idea is simple. Let's get Big D from Tsuen Wan to join us!"

Guan Zaishen said, "Tsuen Wan is a very good shipping location. Big D has been having a hard time lately. If we can get him involved, it will be easy to pull off the job!"

"Besides, this guy is a brave fighter, and his fighting skills are not weak. When the time comes to ship the goods, we will need him to personally escort them aboard, and by the way, strengthen the boss's prestige!"

"I heard that many uncles in the gang are jealous of the big boss getting rich in Mong Kok. Who knows if they will do something?"

"If we win over Big D, the influence of our Mong Kok gang will be completely different!"

"Okay, you're thinking that far ahead!"

Long Gen was a little surprised and said directly: "It's settled. I'll go talk to Big D!"

It is only 1988 now, and it is still a full 16 or 17 years since the film begins.

At this time, Tsuen Wan Big D was just a newly emerged junior member within Liansheng.

His own skills are quite good. He participated in two consecutive "Unlimited Fighting Tournaments" and made it to the main competition stage both times. Among the many red sticks in Hong Kong community, he is considered to be quite capable.

However, Tsuen Wan has not been developed yet and is a remote and poor area.

The situation was similar to that of neighboring Tuen Mun, and Big D was also very poor at the time.

It is said that his gang's place was just a shabby billiard room!
There is very little money to be made in the territory, perhaps even less than what he earned from participating in the two "Unlimited Fighting Tournaments", so it is not difficult to win him over.

In the movie, the reason why this guy was so arrogant was not only because Tsuen Wan, where he was in charge, was destroyed, but also because the Tsuen Wan New Town had been almost fully developed and was naturally profitable.

After Long Gen and Guan Zaisen had discussed it, Long Gen personally talked to Da D.

As expected, Big D was easily won over.

Then, the first shipload of clothing purchased at factory prices was sent directly to Siam.

I don’t know what’s going on, but the relationship between Hong Kong Island communities and Siam is quite close.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be constant rumors of him running away to Siam.

It may be because there are many Chinese in Siam and their influence is quite strong.

In addition, Siam is a transit point to some unspeakable area!
In short, he has a good relationship with Lian Sheng in the capital of Siam.

Even Long Gen himself has acquaintances in the capital of Siam, and these acquaintances have considerable power.

Look, the first shipment of clothing was easily absorbed by the connections there.

Although I only earned tens of thousands of dollars, everything is difficult at the beginning.

As long as you take the first step successfully, the rest of the things will be very simple. It’s just a matter of increasing the sales volume. What Lian Sheng lacks the least is younger brothers.

As for Young Master Lin, he was naturally delighted after receiving the news.

He only needs to provide clothes that have just been produced, so he has some face and ability.

As for where the clothes that have just been produced are sold, what does it have to do with him?
When Guan Zai Sen quietly informed Wu Feng of the news, Wu Feng was already in Pengcheng. Wu Feng didn't say much, but simply told Guan Zai Sen that once the shipping business grew, he would use price as an excuse to guide Young Master Lin to secretly build a factory in the mainland.

After all, the cost price of producing clothes in Hong Kong Island and in the Mainland is simply not at the same level.

I believe that once Young Master Lin tastes the sweetness, he will naturally know what to do.

Guan Zaisen nodded repeatedly in agreement. He thought Wu Feng’s idea was quite good.

Now the signs of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moving inland are very obvious. After all, only a fool would not do something that can make more profits.

After the call, Wu Feng no longer paid much attention to what was happening on Guan Zaisen's side.

Open the bow without turning back the arrow!

Once something starts, it is not easy to stop.

He came to Pengcheng this time because his electronics factory had developed a new product.

It is the Xiaobawang learning machine that was popular in mainland China in the 1990s!
Of course, the Subor Company had already been registered by someone, and the new product it launched this time was called BBK.

There is no doubt that the mainland's microelectronics technology is still quite strong at this time.

In 1980, the top universities in China developed a three-micron photolithography machine.

At this time, the gap between mainland China's microelectronics technology and that of the United States is not that exaggerated, at most five to ten years.

The reason why it was so poor in later generations was that there was not enough demand in the mainland in the 1990s, and the products developed had no market and collapsed directly.

By the time we wanted to catch up later, Europe and the United States had already started iterative development due to market demand.

Coupled with various other reasons, the development of chips in the mainland has become difficult.

But at this time, if we just want to make a BBK learning machine, it is still very easy with the mainland's microelectronics technology.

Wu Feng knew how exaggerated the market prospects of the first generation of learning machines were.

What's more, he is not only eyeing the mainland market, but also the Southeast Asian market.

There is no need to count on Europe and the United States, but the Southeast Asian market has great development potential.

How to say it, the main feature of BBK learning machine is its low price and good quality.

At this time, learning machines had just begun mass production, and no one had anticipated the market potential of this thing.

At this time, Wu Feng was already the largest Hong Kong-funded factory investor in Pengcheng.

Including garment factories, electronics factories and some other factories, the total number of workers has exceeded 10,000.

This is also the reason why he did not take the initiative to develop the mainland market, otherwise the scale of the factory would have expanded at least several times.

Of course, he has not given up the idea of ​​the vast clothing market in the mainland. He can't just let foreigners get it for free, right?
At this time, the clothing factories in Pengcheng have already cooperated with many state-owned clothing factories in the mainland, asking the state-owned clothing factories to help with OEM, and then developing the mainland market by cultivating agents.

The effect is quite good!
It doesn't need to be of the same quality as a high-end A-grade product, it can be of second-rate clothing quality, but the style is novel and trendy, and once it came out, it easily became a hit in the mainland.

Many state-owned garment factories that were facing operational difficulties or even bankruptcy made money through the OEM model and easily formed a huge business network covering the north and south.

Not only garment factories, but also radio factories, electric fan factories, bicycle factories and sewing machine factories were all influenced by the mainland enterprises under Wu Feng.

At this time, the situation in the mainland has led to overproduction of certain products.

Before, radios were a rare item, but things were different in 1988.

There shouldn’t be too many radio factories everywhere!
The famous Yanwu brand radio, the lowest grade one only costs thirty yuan!

There is also an electric fan factory, which is a small-scale collective enterprise that can produce it. You can imagine how exaggerated the output and stockpiling quantities are.

Wu Feng's mainland factories purchased a large number of these industrial products, which were no longer rare, and helped many state-owned enterprises that had fallen into operational difficulties to get out of their predicament.

Not to mention, the factory under Wu Feng is a major export earner in Pengcheng!
Similarly, Wu Feng's treatment naturally increased!

In particular, when the receiving officials learned that Wu Feng intended to open a factory in Pengcheng to produce pagers and even mobile phones, they became even more enthusiastic.

"It's a win-win cooperation. I also made a lot of money!"

Wu Feng was neither humble nor arrogant.

By 1992, the development of the mainland will enter the fast lane.

At that time, heroes of the grassroots era will emerge one after another.

As long as they successfully earn their first pot of gold, their future development will be rapid.

Of course, at this time Wu Feng was naturally not inferior to anyone.

It is hard to tell how much profit he can make from the BBK learning machine alone.

Once we can sell throughout Southeast Asia, the profits will be almost the same as those from the shipping business.

Subsequently, there will be the development of home game consoles, as well as the research, development and production of game cartridges, etc.

Combined with the already popular arcade games in Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Island may really become another gaming center in East Asia, in addition to daily life.

He has already advertised in newspapers in Hong Kong Island, soliciting various game cartridges from universities and interested and capable people in society.

Just like Nintendo in its younger days, he also plans to use the BBK learning machine and the home game console of the same name as a platform to provide many individuals and organizations with ideas with a platform to make money.

After all, the cost of developing and producing arcade machines is still a little bit high.

If it is a game cartridge, both the R&D cost and the production cost will be much lower.

Nintendo, which was doing well, had always insisted on using eight-bit game cartridges, while Wu Feng planned to move to sixteen-bit mode.

In fact, the R&D and production costs are not much higher, and the game graphics will be clearer.

It’s just that Nintendo, which is living a small life, is too arrogant and has an invincible arrogance.

They think their standards are the standards that the whole world should follow!
It would have been fine if there were no BBK learning machines and game consoles before, but now Wu Feng’s factory has already started mass production of learning machines and game consoles. How could he still abide by the broken rules of Xiao Rizi Company?
When the situation in the mainland improves, Wu Feng will promote this research and development plan to powerful universities and research institutions throughout the mainland.

Apart from anything else, as long as they can develop a popular game, they can easily achieve financial freedom and even earn amazing profits just by relying on game cartridges.

This is a real way to make money by relying on one's own talents, and no one will feel dissatisfied no matter where you are.

Wu Feng stayed in Pengcheng for almost half a month, and spent almost every day hanging out at drinking parties.

Fortunately, his physical fitness is really good and has reached a very exaggerated level.

Otherwise, you really may not be able to withstand such intensity of drinking!
However, when he was about to leave, he received a call from Jiang Tiansheng.

My good mood disappeared in an instant.

Damn, he will die if he doesn’t make trouble. He was speechless.

"I will return to Hong Kong Island immediately. We must discuss this matter thoroughly!"

"This time, we absolutely cannot play dumb!"
