Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 80 Courier Chen Yongren reports! (Large Chapter 5.4K)

Monday, Jinghai Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

After the morning work arrangement meeting, Deputy Director Gong suddenly thought of something and asked Xiao Liu beside him:

"How's the Dongfeng Express company that I asked you to pay attention to doing now?"

Xiao Liu said weakly, "Director Gong, it seems to me that they haven't been affected at all. They're pretty much the same as before..."

Deputy Director Gong frowned. "Hmm? Pretty much the same as before? What do the customs officials say?"

"Customs said they are still checking."

Director Hao also came over and said, "Old Gong, how about asking what the situation is at the customs?"

After the two returned to the office, Deputy Director Gong picked up the phone and dialed:

"Hey, Luo Guan, yes, it's me!
I'd like to ask, regarding the matter I asked you to do with the customs earlier, how is the Dongfeng Express inspection going?"

"Oh, I'm still checking!"

"Luo Guan, it's been a week, and there's still no result?"

"Hey, Director Gong, please don't say that our customs didn't check.

Because of you, our customs department has gone back on its word. We've specially assigned several staff members to check from morning till night every day. We've checked tens of thousands of items this week, but we haven't found any problems!"

"No, Luo Guan, what I mean is, from an institutional perspective, is it legal and compliant for them to openly carry express delivery through customs like this? Do you customs officials..."

Luo Hui interrupted directly: "How is it illegal? We didn't violate any procedures, and there are no prohibited items. Our customs officials opened and inspected each piece. What else can they do to us?"

Luo Hui then said, "Director Gong, our customs department has invested a lot of energy in this matter, so we have to work normally, right? Let's put this matter of Dongfeng Express to an end!"

After saying that, Luo Hui wanted to hang up the phone directly, but after thinking about it, he advised:
"Director Gong, I want to tell you something from my heart.

I heard that the owner of Dongfeng Express has connections in Hong Kong Island, and he spent millions just on advertising by contracting several newspapers.

If you investigate them without any evidence and hinder their normal operations, and then they return to Hong Kong and curse our poor investment environment in the newspapers, who do you think will be responsible?

Director Gong, there are so many eyes watching us in the Special Administrative Region right now, we must be very careful in our work!"

After the call was hung up, Gong and Hao looked at each other.

After a moment, Director Hao said, "Luo Hui is well-informed, so his words should be true."

What you worry about will come true. Previously, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau did not take direct action against Dongfeng Express because they were concerned about its identity as a Hong Kong company and were afraid that it would cause any trouble.

As a result, Luo Hui’s words now really confirmed this point. The other party is still an influential person in Hong Kong Island!

"Let's just call it a day then?" Director Gong still felt uncomfortable.

Director Hao thought for a moment and called Xiao Liu in. "How much has our postal service revenue been affected?"

"That doesn't have much of an impact. International EMS accounts for a very small proportion. EMS from Hong Kong Island to Beijing and Haikou has dropped by 20%, but other routes are unaffected..."

Nowadays, the main source of income for the postal service is still domestic mail and remittances. After all, the volume is huge, and the business volume of international EMS is less than one thousandth of the former.

Director Hao waved his hand and asked Xiao Liu to leave. "Old Gong, since the postal service hasn't been greatly affected, I think we should take a long-term view on this matter!"

Deputy Director Gong understood what the other party meant and decided to wait until Director Zhao came back from studying before talking about it. At that time, Director Zhao would make the final decision and neither of them would have to take the blame.

Deputy Director Gong sighed: "Let's take a long-term view!"

……

"Okay, thank you, Brother Luo! I have hired a professional team from Hong Kong Island, and the buffet restaurant will be open soon!"

After Ye Dongsheng hung up the phone, he also showed a look of joy. This matter was finally resolved!

According to Luo Hui, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau should have stopped its activities.

There was no Postal Law at that time. In the open area of ​​the Special Administrative Region, and with the identity of a Hong Kong businessman, even if the powerful Post and Telecommunications Bureau was unhappy with him, they would have to be more cautious. If they wanted to investigate Dongfeng Express, they had to follow the law!
It seems that the Post and Telecommunications Bureau would not cause him any trouble, at least before the Postal Law came out in 87!

At this time, Ye Dongsheng was in a really good mood!
Now Ye Dongsheng has reached a written agreement with the customs. He does not need to buy the land himself. The customs will provide it directly and rent it to Ye Dongsheng to open a restaurant. The rent must be paid of course. At the same time, the agreement states that customs officers can enjoy low-cost meals.

In this way, there is no abuse of power for personal gain or exchange of interests. Deputy Commissioner Luo is simply doing his job impartially and has found the wealthy businessman Ye Dongsheng to seek benefits for everyone!
The entire process is open and transparent, and there is no room for criticism!

Ye Dongsheng patted Xiao Fu beside him and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to open a restaurant? Then you should stay in Jinghai for a while and see how this restaurant is run!"

Xiao Fu scratched his head and said, "Brother Sheng, I opened a restaurant just to eat by myself!"

"Foodie!" Ye Dongsheng scolded with a smile.

For some time ago, the two brothers Wang Jianjun and Wang Jianguo were left in Jinghai, and they were in charge of the Shekou store.

Now everything is back on track and customs have resumed normal inspections. Xiaofu can stay in Jinghai to look after the store and take the two brothers back to Hong Kong Island.

Ye Dongsheng did not hand over the restaurant directly to Xiaofu, not because he was afraid of losing money.

He meant what he said, he didn't open this buffet restaurant just to make money.

Given the current consumption level in China, how much can this restaurant earn even if it becomes popular? At most, a million a year, less than what Dongfeng Express earns in a week!
He opened the restaurant to build good relations with the customs. Now it's not only an opportunity for Luo Hui, the deputy customs chief, to win people's hearts, but also for customs staff to dine here regularly. Do you think they will remember Dongfeng Express for its good deeds?
This will be of great benefit to the future development of Dongfeng Express!
……

David's Auto Repair Shop, Portland Street.

After David climbed out from under the car, he wiped his hands and said to the fat man waiting next to him: "Sir, your car is fixed. 500 yuan!"

The fat man took out two 2 yuan bills and said, "Give me some maintenance on my car, and I'll keep the rest of the money with you!"

David immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, boss! Ah Quan, give the car a spa!"

The fat man took out a cigarette and gave it to David: "Hey, has your store always been here?"

David lit it up and took a puff: "Yeah, boss, it's been open for 2 years!"

The fat man pointed at the Dongfeng Express store not far away and asked, "Is that store always doing good business?"

Before David could say anything, Ah Quan poked his head out from the other side of the car:

"Yes, this Dongfeng Express has been open for almost a month now. There's a constant stream of people coming in and out every day. It's really booming! I never dreamed that the express delivery business would be so prosperous!"

David smiled at the fat man and said, "Their business is really good, and I've had a lot more customers here!"

The fat man continued to ask, "Business is so good on Portland Street, have any gangs come to harass you?"

"Wow! Boss, you don't know this! No society dares to mess with them now!"

Ah Quan came over excitedly when he mentioned this:
"This Dongfeng Express has some serious connections! They're well-connected to both the black and white worlds! Previously, Dongxing's madman Hui and Hong Le's bodyguard Qiu both brought their men here, and all of them got busted here. There were also large numbers of police deployed for protection, arresting hundreds of gangsters. The scene was truly spectacular! Isn't that incisive?"

The fat man's eyes lit up when he heard this: "With such a strong background, and with connections to both black and white, their business will definitely last long!"

Ah Quan looked at the fat man in surprise and asked, "Why are you so happy when their business is booming?"

The fat man pointed excitedly at a small shop next to Dongfeng Express:
"I just rented that place! Look at all the people coming in and out every day, but there's not even a drink shop around. If I move my ice cream parlor here, business will be booming!"

Most of the snack shops and restaurants on Portland Street are in the southern section, and there are indeed not many beverage shops in the north-central section.

David and Quan exchanged a glance and said, "No wonder you're the boss! You're really smart!"

The fat man laughed and said, "Thank you so much! From now on, we're all neighbors!"

……

"Send Shapi Biao to prison to punish the wicked and eliminate evil, and accumulate merit."

Looking at this reminder in his mind, Ye Dongsheng remembered the Sharpi Biao.

But this guy must be sentenced to at least 10 years. Not to mention waiting for him to come out, even if he comes out now, he is nothing in front of Ye Dongsheng, and his boss, Gentleman Victory, is finished!
Ye Dongsheng also felt it was strange when talking about this. He had just wanted to take the opportunity to let Xiaofu silence Shensheng, but he didn't expect that Hongle would spread the news that Shensheng was killed by Fu Yonglin!
Others may not know, but Ye Dongsheng learned from Chen Guozhong that Fu Yonglin was injured by a gun explosion. How could he possibly kill Gentleman Sheng immediately?
He estimated that it was most likely that the old fox Brother Piao took the opportunity to kill Xiaoshen!
He really is worthy of being an old fellow who has been active in the martial arts world for 30 years!
With Brother Piao around, it's not easy to control Hong Le. The best he can do is get Tong Yi Tang to form an alliance with him. Seeing Ah Hua coming in, Ye Dongsheng put all this aside and turned his attention to the real business.

Ah Hua led a few young men and said, "Brother Sheng, these are the couriers I recruited. They've been running for a week and their performance is pretty good!"

Ye Dongsheng had been staying in the mainland for some time, so many things at the Hong Kong store were taken care of by Ahua.

Now the number of parcels sent from the mainland to Hong Kong Island has increased to 276. The five people recruited initially are not enough, so Ahua recruited five new couriers.

Then Ah Hua introduced Ye Dongsheng one by one:

"...This is A-Jin. He performed very well! He gave the most gifts! He worked the hardest!"

Ye Dongsheng looked at the familiar face in front of him and couldn't help asking, "What's your name?"

"Hello, Brother Sheng! My name is Chen Yongren! Thank you very much, Brother Sheng, for offering me a job!" As he said this, Chen Yongren also bowed to Ye Dongsheng.

The corners of Ye Dongsheng's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he began to greet Huang Zhicheng and his whole family in his heart!
"Yellow Dog, are you fucking out of your mind? Why didn't you let Chen Yongren go undercover in the gangs and drug lords? Why did he go undercover at Dongfeng Express?"

I only broke your ear, not your brain!

Seeing Ye Dongsheng remained silent, Ah Hua couldn't help but whisper, "Brother Sheng, is there anything wrong with my arrangement?"

Ye Dongsheng forced a smile: "Ahua, you have really good taste!"

Ah Hua immediately laughed and said, "I interviewed a lot of people to pick them out!"

Ye Dongsheng complained in his heart that you interviewed so many people but chose only one undercover agent to come in!
However, considering that the best students in Chen Yongren Police Academy must have outstanding performance in all aspects, it is highly likely that such people will be selected.

Ye Dongsheng's mind raced again. This wasn't right! Dongfeng Express was in a legitimate business, why would I be afraid of an undercover agent?

You can lie down as much as you want, we’ll charge you as much as you want!

Let them devote everything to make Dongfeng Express shine!
After figuring it out, Ye Dongsheng couldn't help but smile and said to Chen Yongren: "Aren, work hard! The more you send, the more you earn. I'm optimistic about you!"

"Thank you, Brother Sheng!"

After sending off a few new couriers, Ye Dongsheng smiled and praised Ah Hua, "Ah Hua, you've worked so hard during this period. The store depends on you!"

"Brother Sheng, you taught me everything! You arranged everything. If I make any mistakes again, I'll be too embarrassed to see you!"

Ye Dongsheng patted Ah Hua on the shoulder and encouraged him, "This store will be handed over to you sooner or later~"

Ah Hua immediately grinned and became full of energy instantly!
After Ah Hua left, Ye Dongsheng called Ruan Mei in again: "How many pieces did you buy yesterday?"

Seeing Ye Dongsheng again after a while, Ruan Mei couldn't help but smile brightly:
"Yesterday we received a total of 1634 parcels, 1358 of which were received by the Hong Kong Island store and 276 by the Beijing Haikou store. Of these, 1112 were received in one day, 522 in three days, and nine were expedited. Our total revenue was $9!"

When Ye Dongsheng heard this data, he couldn't stop smiling!

Today's revenue is about to approach 30!

If he continues to run the business in such a steady manner, he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year just from Jinghai!
Ruan Mei said to Ye Dongsheng, "Brother Sheng, although the growth rate of parcels received in Hong Kong Island has been very slow, the number of parcels received in Jinghai is increasing rapidly. The number has increased to one-fifth of Hong Kong Island. I feel there is still potential to be tapped~"

Ye Dongsheng nodded and said, "You're right, so I've asked the local sales team to continue promoting it. Now, on the one hand, we need to convert more potential customers into users, and on the other hand, we need to continuously improve our service quality and cultivate customers' habit of sending express!"

"Improve service quality?" Ruan Mei felt that Dongfeng Express's service was already very good.

Ye Dongsheng nodded and took Ruan Mei to the store and said, "There are many areas where we can improve. For example, we can provide customers with some tea, simple candies, snacks, etc...."

Dongfeng Express's prices are high, and they're taking a high-end approach, so they naturally offer some services in this regard. Whether or not they want to eat is up to the customer, but whether or not they have it is a matter of Dongfeng Express's own attitude.

Then he walked to the door of the store and said, "Look, for example, there's the parking problem!"

Dongfeng Express has a lot of customers, some of whom come by car, but there are very few parking spaces, which causes many users to park quite far away and then walk over, which brings inconvenience to customers.

In fact, it is useless to talk to Ruan Mei about this. It is Tony who should take the initiative. Only when Tongyitang grabs more parking spaces can this problem be solved.

Parking is a very important business for Hong Kong gangs, which employs a large number of parking assistants. There are many group fights caused by competing for parking spaces.

Ye Dongsheng was about to say something when a fat man suddenly appeared at the door, holding a lot of milk tea in his hands. He kept bowing when he saw him: "Boss Ye, I've heard a lot about you!"

Ye Dongsheng looked at the fat man curiously: "Excuse me, who are you?"

"My nickname is Fatty Kang, Boss Ye, just call me A Kang or Kangzai! I just opened an ice cream parlor next to your store, and I'll need your continued support from now on!"

Fatty Kang said as he carried the various milk teas and other items in his hand to the Dongfeng Express Store: "Boss Ye, today is the opening day, I will treat everyone to free tea! From now on, you can get 5% off on all your purchases in my store!"

Ye Dongsheng thought about it and understood that the fat guy in front of him must have taken a fancy to the customer flow of Dongfeng Express, so he opened an ice cream parlor next to it. He was quite quick-witted!
He didn't refuse and smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Akang!"

Then he walked out of the store and looked at a newly renovated small shop next to it. He saw a sign that read: Kowloon Ice House.

……

Tsim Sha Tsui, the rooftop of a building.

Huang Zhicheng was wearing sunglasses and standing by the railing, looking down at the ant-like crowd below.

Tap, tap, tap, the sound of hurried footsteps gradually became louder.

"Sir Huang!"

Huang Zhicheng turned around, looked at Chen Yongren, and raised his eyebrows.

Every time I met Chen Yongren before, this guy always wore a black leather jacket and looked very cool.

At this time, Chen Yongren was wearing a plain grey short-sleeved shirt and boxer shorts. His bangs were gone, replaced by a short flat head. He was also carrying a schoolbag on his back. How could he look like a laborer?

Huang Zhicheng frowned and asked, "Smelly boy, how did you become like this?"

Chen Yongren patted his schoolbag and couldn't help complaining, "Mr. Huang, please, I'm a courier now, not a gangster! Do I have to wear a jacket and jeans when delivering packages? It's so hard!"

Despite saying this, Chen Yongren had a faint smile on his face. He yearned for a bright future, but Huang Zhicheng insisted that he go undercover as a gangster, smashing, looting, and burning his way into the underworld.

Although for some reason Huang Zhicheng suddenly changed his order and asked him to go undercover at Dongfeng Express, he felt that delivering express now was much more meaningful than being a gangster before!

Every time a package is delivered and he hears the customer's praise and thanks, he feels a sense of satisfaction in his heart! It makes him happier than if he had defeated a group of gangsters!
Huang Zhicheng showed a hint of embarrassment. He had never really thought about what a courier should be like.

Then he coughed and said, "Did you meet your boss today?"

Chen Yongren nodded: "Yes, he just came back from the mainland!"

"Huh? He went to escort the goods in person?" Huang Zhicheng immediately became excited.

"How could I possibly know that? I've only been in there a week, and I only spoke to him for the first time today!"

"Did you get any other information?"

Chen Yongren thought for a moment and said, "I heard Ah Hua call me a few days ago and said he was very happy that he had finally gotten through customs."

Huang Zhicheng trembled all over, clenched his fist and swung it violently. This is it! !
They even handled the customs, how horrible! !

This Dongfeng Express is definitely a drug trafficking ring even bigger than the Ni family! !

But Huang Zhicheng was filled with excitement at this moment. His judgment was correct. He really caught a big fish!

Chen Yongren couldn't help but frown at his expression. Shouldn't Mr. Huang be angry when he heard the news? Why did he act so happy?
Noticing Chen Yongren's gaze, Huang Zhicheng quickly composed himself and said seriously:

"Aren, this Dongfeng Express is no ordinary company. It must be hiding a huge conspiracy! You must infiltrate its core, get close to the boss, Ye Dongsheng, become his confidant, and get access to their deepest secrets! Only then can we wipe out this criminal group in one fell swoop!"

Chen Yongren thought to himself that he hadn't discovered anything yet, so how could he be sure that Dongfeng Express was a criminal group?
But Huang Zhicheng was his superior after all, so he had no way to refute.

Chen Yongren looked at his watch and waved his hand, saying, "I'm done. I still have two deliveries to make, and the customers are getting impatient and are going to complain to me!"

After saying that, Chen Yongren put on his backpack again and ran away.

Huang Zhicheng looked at Chen Yongren's back and scratched his only remaining ear. How could this guy really think of him as a courier?
