Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 357 Quickly Laying Out Plans!

After Wang Dao returned, he gathered everyone together.

"Hey, this is spring water that I asked Lord Nan to bring for me!"

Han Bin said speechlessly:
"Brother Dao, that's Lord Nan. These kinds of favors are rare and precious. How could you use them to find water?"

"It's just water, isn't it?"

“My ship brings in a lot almost every day.”

Indeed, ever since Han Bin listened to Wang Dao's advice, he has opened up a "smuggling" route between Hong Kong and Guangdong, bringing one or several boatloads of water every day.

It's unbelievable.

The cost of fuel for a boatload of fresh water is higher than the cost of the water itself.

However, Han Bin still ordered his men to do so.

The reason is that the freshwater in Hong Kong is really undrinkable.

Wang Dao looked at Han Bin with disdain:

"You do not understand!"

Han Bin said angrily:

"How come I don't understand?"

Wang Dao raised his finger:
"Two reasons."

“Lord Nan is an important official in our hometown. He was originally a central government official, but he was sent to Guangdong Prefecture to guard the southern gate of our hometown.”

"You still want a favor from such a high-ranking official?"

"I really can't tell what's important and what's not!"

"People should have self-awareness."

"In my hometown, the most respected people are always officials, which is different from Hong Kong or the Western world."

"Even in the Western world, when those presidents were in power, no major capitalist wanted to provoke them."

"We cannot retain the favors we have for this kind of person!"

Han Bin was immediately speechless.

He muttered:

"I'm clearly older than you, so where did you learn all this stuff from?"

Wang Dao sighed:

"As the Song Dynasty emperors said, 'In books there are thousands of bushels of grain, in books there are houses of gold, in books there are carriages and horses in abundance, and in books there are beauties like jade.'"

"We're a big class here, after all. Let's read more books when we have nothing else to do!"

This is the truth from the king.

The longer you're in society, the more you realize that reading more books is really useful.

Han Bin retorted, unconvinced:

"I haven't seen you read much either."

Wang Dao was delighted:

"I'll read more books in my free time and secretly amaze everyone. Will you see that?"

The crowd roared with laughter.

Wang Dao was obviously lying; how could he possibly have time to study?
In other words, even if he wanted to have dinner with Le Huizhen, he would have to ask Xu Zhengyang in advance if he had enough time.

For ordinary people, eating out is simply a matter of agreeing on a time and place, and then spending time getting there.

The Way of the King is Different.

Work should also be scheduled during travel time.

For people like them, work and life are one and the same.

No matter how many assistants you hire, the same applies. There will always be some decisions that require your input.

Some people suggested that the subordinates could do it.

That's certainly possible, but congratulations, the power you hold in your hands will no longer belong to you.

This is equivalent to decentralization, then gradually being sidelined, and then the entire company may have to change hands.

This is why Wang Dao is so busy.

This is also thanks to the professional career gift package that Wangdao launched earlier.

The skills of elite police officers and the skills of various figures at the top of the organization constitute the skill set of the King's Way.

Only now did Wang Dao realize how superficial his understanding of the club had been.

A fake gang—smoking, tattooed, leading a bunch of henchmen like street thugs.

The real elites of the underworld – luxury cars, BMWs, suits, beautiful women, and a perfectly smoked cigar.

This means that Wang Dao doesn't need to supplement his knowledge in his spare time at all.

It saved him a lot of time.

Even so, Wang Dao would spend a lot of time reading every day.

I read a lot of news and academic news.

Wang Dao is indeed a time traveler, but he is not an omnipotent scientist. Even an omnipotent scientist cannot create an entire scientific system by himself.

He needs help from others.

His hobby is keeping up with all sorts of cutting-edge knowledge.

As a time traveler, one may not know certain scientific knowledge, but one will definitely know which technologies are most likely to be commercialized.

Ultimately, Wang Dao is still a big capitalist, and making money is his instinct.

Van said to Han Bin:

"Binny, just listen to Brother Dao and read more books."

"This will be good for us in the future."

Han Bin laughed and said:

"Isn't this just a habit?"

Handsome Kun smiled at Van:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, they're just bickering. Otherwise, why would A-Dao say such crucial things?"

Van was immediately relieved.

She is very satisfied with her current life and doesn't want to change it.

Looking back on my previous life now, it feels like a dream.

Who would have thought that a woman who fights on the streets every day would become a director of a company?

Do you spend all day sitting in the office handling all sorts of tasks?

Although there are many things I don't understand, Van is confident in meeting these challenges.

Han Bin gave Wang Dao an apologetic look. There was nothing he could do; Han Bin always had confidence in his talent.

Talent is talent, but in this respect, he is really no match for Wang Dao.

Therefore, the only option was to bow one's head.

Wang Dao shrugged:

"This is the finest mineral water from Guangdong that I asked Mr. Nan to bring back for me."

"Everyone, try it and taste it."

Xu Zhengyang immediately distributed the items to everyone.

Han Bin joked:
"I don't believe this water tastes as good as the water I brought back."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The water in Hong Kong was truly undrinkable, and the water that Han Bin brought back amazed them.

During this period, they used the water that Han Bin brought back for boiling water, cooking rice, making soup, and brewing tea.

They already considered that water to be top-quality.

The crowd was really skeptical that the water Wang Dao brought back could surpass Han Bin's.

However, everyone was stunned after tasting it.

Sweet and refreshing, with a lingering aftertaste.

"This is water?" Liang Kun's eyes widened. "Ah Dao, give me a boatload!"

Han Bin immediately said:
"I want it too, I want it too!"

Chen Guozhong smiled:

"Apple and I are using it quite well, two boats will be enough."

Han Bin said speechlessly:
"Brother Zhong, isn't this enough for you?"

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"We're both busy, so two boats should be enough for us for several months!"

Wang Dao smiled and asked:
"Everyone, how's the water I brought back?"

Everyone gave a thumbs up:
"Great!"

This is really great.

Wang Dao gently tapped the table:

“As I’ve told you before, compared to truly wealthy people, we’re like nouveau riche.”

"Of course, we are indeed nouveau riche, so there's no need to belittle ourselves."

“The truly wealthy have people who take care of everything they eat and use.”

"Even the water that this body needs most is privately owned."

"We don't need to bother with this."

"This water is one of the best mineral waters in my hometown. I have reached an agreement with Nanjing University to protect the water source."

"And we will make additional investments to establish a mineral water brand."

"But there are some problems that need to be solved now."

Han Bin was taken aback:
"What problem?"

"With someone from Nanjing University involved, how could they not reach an agreement on the contract?"

Wang Dao shook his head:
"That's not it."

Han Bin didn't understand:

"What's the reason for that?"

Wang Dao said calmly:
"transportation!"

He explained,

“This kind of mineral water is best packaged in plastic bottles, but Hong Kong does not have the technology for that.”

"The Western world does have such technology, and it was only put into use a few years ago."

"We need to procure this product line."

Han Bin immediately said:
"Leave it to me!"

Liang Kun exclaimed in surprise:
"Ado, you're not just supplying a few of us, are you?"

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
"Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. Five million people in Hong Kong are drinking such terrible water. They should be given a choice."

"Of course, we will give this mineral water appropriate commercial packaging and target high-end markets."

"The water that Binney brought back recently will be a regular commodity."

"It will be sold in our department stores."

"What do you think?"

Everyone agreed with the best approach.

They are wealthy people after all, and they have become virtuous through their wealth. They used to care about things, but now they don't care about them at all.

Wang Dao gently tapped the table:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is just one of them."

"The real challenge is yet to come."

"Department stores and supermarkets are in the lower-tier market, and we have the entire Yuefu region to support us."

Everyone was taken aback:
"The entire Yue Prefecture?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"Of course, all the vegetables are carefully selected, as are all the fruits."

"Guaranteed fresh daily."

"This has a name - Hong Kong-made vegetables."

"The price..."

"Don't worry, the price is the same as in regular supermarkets."

Chen Guozhong frowned and said:

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Han Bin asked:

"Brother Zhong, have you discovered something amiss?" Chen Guozhong asked bluntly.

“A transaction should be a win-win situation. If one party loses and the other gains, such a transaction cannot last.”

"My hometown has suffered such a huge loss... This is not a good sign."

Han Bin smiled:

“Brother Zhong, this is something you don’t know the specifics of.”

Chen Guozhong raised an eyebrow:
You mean a win-win situation?

Han Bin sighed:

"Money on the top of the head in my hometown."

“The average white-collar worker here earns 3,000 yuan a month for firewood and water, but the average worker only earns 300 yuan.”

"A tenfold difference."

“We buy agricultural products from Guangdong at the purchase price from Hong Kong, which is a huge profit for them.”

"There is no situation where anyone suffers a loss."

"It truly is a win-win situation."

Chen Guozhong then nodded.

Wang Dao sighed inwardly.

There's nothing we can do; that's just how the economy is back home right now.

Any Hong Konger who goes back home is a wealthy person.

There is one more thing that Han Bin didn't mention, or that he didn't notice, and that is foreign exchange!

Hong Kong dollars are also a form of foreign exchange.

They sourced goods from their hometown and transported them to Hong Kong, earning foreign exchange.

My hometown also offers policy subsidies to companies that earn foreign exchange.

Doing business with Wang Dao and his group will only result in profits, not losses!
Wang Dao cleared his throat:

"I've already had Li Fu start building the factory, but he's short-staffed. Does anyone have any good ideas?"

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a bit of a headache.

Handsome Kun frowned and said:
"Our rise has been too rapid, and we lack sufficient foundation."

"Internal potential has been tapped to its limit."

"Forcing someone into a position of power can easily lead to big trouble."

Everyone was helpless.

Liang Kun pointed out their group's weakness incisively—they had too few talented people.

Chen Guozhong thought for a moment and said:
"Is it possible to recruit externally?"

Han Bin shook his head:
“External recruitment is certainly possible, but most of the talent in Hong Kong is controlled by foreign firms.”

"There are very few talented people out there, and we don't dare to use them with confidence."

"Conduct background checks on candidates..."

"Besides requiring a lot of manpower, it is also easy to make mistakes in judgment."

"There's not enough time for campus recruitment either..."

The implication is that this path is not feasible.

Wang Dao pondered for a moment and then said:
"I'll have Li Fu recruit from his hometown."

Handsome Kun stroked his chin and said:
"My hometown is vast and has many talented people. Recruiting from my hometown is fine, but there's one problem... can my hometown release people?"

Wang Dao smiled wryly:
"Everyone knows what happened in my hometown a few years ago, but at least the college entrance examination was reinstated."

"The talent pool in my hometown will get better year by year."

"But there is one thing that everyone needs to understand."

"My hometown has a wealth of talent, and it needs talent even more."

"We can only recruit a small number of people."

Lung Kwan suggested:
"Why not donate more money?"

Wang Dao was taken aback:
"That's a good idea."

"I'll discuss this with Professor Nan later."

"Even if you can't give us 10,000 people, 8,000 or 9,000 would be good."

Everyone quieted down.

Han Bin couldn't help but say:

"Brother Dao, didn't you say there aren't many talented people in your hometown?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"Yup!"

Han Bin shouted:
"Then why did you say you needed 10,000 people?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

“There are indeed few talented people in our hometown, but don’t you think about it? Hong Kong is just a small place with a total population of only five million.”

"Our hometown is a million times more important than our hometown."

"Putting everything else aside, how many of us could one Yue Prefecture alone be enough for?"

"But never forget that Hong Kong was once just a part of Bao'an County."

Everyone fell silent.

Wang Dao reiterated:

"Hong Kong's roots are in its hometown. Hong Kong's rise is entirely due to its role as a bridge between China and the West."

"When our hometown is stable, Hong Kong prospers. Otherwise, it will be turbulent."

"This is fundamental; if you get this cause and effect wrong, you'll be in big trouble."

“Once this bridge function disappears, Hong Kong will gradually become less like my hometown.”

Han Bin said incredulously:
"Can't you?"

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"I can bet you that in forty years, Hong Kong will not be as good as Bao'an County."

"Want to bet?"

Han Bin flatly refused:
"I've never won a bet with you."

Chen Guozhong said with a smile:

"Binny, do you also think Bao'an County will surpass Hong Kong?"

Han Bin shook his head:
“I’ve been to Bao’an County before; it’s just a fishing village.”

"At least Hong Kong has developed for a hundred years first."

"Bao'an County wants to surpass Hong Kong within forty years... Is that impossible?"
Chen Guozhong urged:
"Then make a bet with him."

Han Bin rolled his eyes:
"Facts have taught me one thing—never bet with Brother Dao."

"I do think I won't lose, but that's just my opinion."

"I've already suffered enough losses, I absolutely cannot suffer any more."

Everyone laughed.

Wang Dao clapped his hands and said:

"In that case, let's do it this way."

“A consortium will be established in our hometown to supply goods to our department stores.”

Han Bin quickly interrupted him:
"Wait, why don't I understand something?"

Wang Dao tilted his head to look at him:
"What do you mean you don't understand?"

Han Bin smiled wryly:
"Brother Dao, you actually set up a consortium specifically to supply goods to Hong Kong?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"The term 'conglomerate' is an exaggeration; it's more accurate to say it's a seed."

"I've discussed this with people from Nanjing University, and we're going to take this opportunity to establish several industries."

"The main industries are agricultural, animal husbandry and fishery products, as well as light industry products."

Han Bin opened his mouth wide and groaned:

"Brother Dao, do you know how many industries a single sentence can involve?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I know!"

"However, our development is very clear: we mainly provide products from our department stores and supermarkets."

Han Bin reminded him:
"But once industrialized, the products are produced continuously."

Can Hong Kong digest this?

"Moreover, we haven't even acquired all the supermarkets in Hong Kong yet."

"Given the territory controlled by Hung Hing, this is a huge pressure."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

“I understand that.”

Han Bin was taken aback:
"Brother Dao, do you have a solution?"

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"some!"

Han Bin was extremely surprised. "You really have it?"

Wang Dao explained:
“My hometown is now a blue ocean market; as long as we produce good products, we won’t have to worry about selling them.”

Han Bin said in astonishment:
"Didn't you say... your hometown is very poor?"

Wang Dao nodded and added:
"That's true."

"However, Binney, you were once a major smuggler, so you should understand that even in the poorest places there are rich people, right?"

"Moreover, the economy in my hometown has begun to reform, so if we have good products, we don't have to worry about not having a market."

Han Bin nodded silently.

Wang Dao then laughed and said:
"Of course, besides that, doing foreign trade is also part of it."

Han Bin was utterly astonished:

"exit?!"

Can products made in my hometown be exported?

Wang Dao was displeased:

"Binny, wanna make a bet?"

"I bet most of your home appliances will be from your family's family in the future."

Han Bin immediately apologized, saying he would never do what Wang Dao had bet him on.

After discussing the matter for a while, everyone understood what they needed to do, and so they dispersed.

When Liang Kun and Bo Zi were about to leave, Wang Dao called them back.

Wang Dao tossed a strip of pills to Liang Kun:
"Boss, don't say I didn't take care of you."

"Here, I know you have a short temper, so here you go."

"Use one pill when you're feeling hot and bothered, but don't use it every day."

Liang Kun looked at him suspiciously:
"what is this?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Anyway, you'll know once you use it when you get home tonight."

"Some things lose their meaning when said directly."

Through the intelligence system, he had long known about Liang Kun's hidden worries—youthful ignorance of the value of money, old age regrets and tears shed in vain.

Bozi's figure is absolutely stunning, and her allure to Liang Kun is almost limitless.

However, recently, Liang Kun has gradually started to feel somewhat powerless.

In a relationship, if a man or woman loses in bed, he will likely be at a disadvantage in daily life as well.

There's no other way; this is the compensatory effect.

Wang Dao was still very considerate of Liang Kun, and directly gave him a magic weapon.

This thing will probably boost Hans Kwan's virility.

However, Wang Dao underestimated the power of this thing.

The next day when I came to work, Liang Kun called:

"Ado, do you still have those little blue pills you gave me yesterday?"

"Give me a whole truckload!"
