It also needs to have capabilities in warehousing and inventory management, distribution, supply chain management, information consulting, and provide some distinctive comprehensive and specific services.

With these characteristics and Hong Kong's advantageous geographical location, a logistics company that performs well has a promising future.

As for the reason for recruiting Brother Ji, it's actually not complicated.

After careful consideration, Jiang Lai decided to locate the logistics company near the West Ring Freight Terminal and build a warehouse there.

And this place happens to be within Brother Kei's sphere of influence.

To start a logistics company, in addition to capital, you need a lot of human and material resources, as well as to handle and manage various complex relationships.

Meanwhile, Brother Kei happens to have a deep-rooted foundation in Sai Wan, with connections, prestige, power, and his smooth interpersonal skills—all of which are what Jiang Lai needs.

Therefore, Brother Ji is undoubtedly the most ideal partner!

This matter had been planned before, but after Jiang Lai left Hung Hing, he put it aside due to too many other things.

Now that Brother Ji has come to him, Jiang Lai took the opportunity to briefly explain his plan to establish a logistics company to Brother Ji.

"A logistics company?" Brother Ji had just returned from the dance floor, had a drink, his face was still slightly flushed, and he was panting heavily.

"Okay!" Jiang Lai nodded and gave Brother Ji a general description of his idea of ​​establishing a logistics company and its future development.

As Jiang Lai narrated, Brother Ji's mind began to race.

"So, starting this logistics company is really a promising venture?" Brother Ji became increasingly interested as he listened to Jiang Lai's description.

"Of course, besides specializing in logistics and transportation, we can also set up a trading company and engage in trade!"

"Let's not talk about anything far away, just take the mainland as an example. Do you know how much fruits and vegetables cost on the mainland now?" Jiang Lai asked Brother Ji.

"I don't know!" Brother Ji shook his head; he had no time to care about vegetable prices on the mainland.

Jiang Lai smiled slightly and said calmly, "The mainland's economy, while not as developed as Hong Kong's, is still quite advanced."

“But now, vegetables and fruits from the mainland cost only a few cents, but when they are transported to Hong Kong, they can be sold for several dollars or even more than ten dollars, with a profit of more than 10 times.”

"This...you can make 10 times the profit selling vegetables?" Brother Ji's mouth widened slightly, and he said in disbelief.

Jiang Lai nodded calmly and continued, "Some products from Hong Kong can generate the same or even higher profits after being shipped to the mainland."

"Once we establish our own transportation system, we can conduct trade with Hong Kong, mainland China, and even neighboring regions such as Thailand and Malaysia."

"The various supplies, going back and forth, will definitely generate a lot of profit, at least more than you're making now!"

"Gulu!"

Brother Ji couldn't help but swallow hard; he was completely swayed by the promises Jiang Lai had made.

Although he didn't know the specifics of how it would work, Brother Ji believed that Jiang Lai wouldn't lie to him.

"So what do I need to do?" Brother Ji asked Jiang Lai cautiously, "How much investment is needed?"

Chapter 185 Logistics Company

"My plan is to first set up a few logistics fleets and get the manpower up and running, and then build warehouses. As for the fleet... we're not in a hurry," Jiang Lai said to Brother Ji after thinking for a moment.

After a pause, Jiang Lai continued, "The total initial investment is approximately 3000 million!"

During this period, the price of Hong Kong license plates was outrageously high; the price of a license plate for a bus, taxi, or truck could buy a house.

A logistics fleet consists of various types of trucks, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan for smaller ones, to hundreds of thousands of yuan for large heavy trucks. Add to that the cost of license plates and other expenses, and the total cost is actually quite high.

The cost of the fleet is already quite high, so Jiang Lai plans to deal with the boat fleet later.

In the early stages, it would be good to get two small cargo ships to transport your own goods.

After all, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. If you start too big, you're likely to run into trouble.

Moreover, an initial investment of 30 million is actually quite substantial; it should be enough to get things started.

Since he planned to locate the logistics company at the cargo terminal in Sai Wan, Jiang Lai naturally considered Brother Kei first. With him, a local bigwig, looking after things would make things much easier for Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai gave Brother Ji a general overview of his plans and the development of his logistics company.

Then he looked at Brother Ji and asked, "So, how about it? Interested in working together?"

"I am interested, but..." After hearing Jiang's words, Brother Ji looked troubled and hesitated to speak.

"What?" Jiang Lai glanced at Brother Ji and asked subconsciously.

"Ah Lai, how do you plan to cooperate?" Brother Ji put down his wine glass, waiting for Jiang Lai's answer.

Jiang Lai thought for a moment and then said, "I can give you up to 40% of the logistics company's shares, how about that?"

"Forty percent... thirty million investment..." Brother Ji pondered, muttered a few words, then looked up at Jiang Lai and continued, "That means I need to invest twelve million?"

Jiang Lai nodded. Since it was a collaboration, he naturally couldn't pay for everything himself.

His willingness to give 40% of his share to Brother Kei is already quite generous.

"But I don't have that much money right now," Brother Ji said, scratching his head with a hint of helplessness.

He was known as the master of both gambling and prostitution in the Hung Hing triad. Besides enjoying chasing women and having fun, he also loved gambling.

In addition, he doesn't touch flour, and apart from the dance hall, tea restaurant, and collecting protection money, he doesn't have any other businesses, so naturally he doesn't have much capital.

For him, investing 12 million wouldn't be enough even if he sold his underwear right now.

"So, Brother Ji, how much can you come up with right now?" Jiang Lai countered.

“Uh…” Brother Ji was speechless.

After hesitating for a moment, he extended his index and middle fingers, slightly bending them, and said awkwardly, "About... one or two million shouldn't be a problem!"

After he finished speaking, Brother Ji looked embarrassed, even a little ashamed.

One or two million in cash is not a small amount in today's world.

However, Jiang Lai was talking to him about a deal worth tens of millions, but he only had one or two million in his own hands.

Let alone a 40% stake, even a 10% stake would require an investment of three million!

He didn't even have enough money to invest 10% of the shares, so how could someone as concerned about saving face as him dare to ask?

Jiang Lai smiled upon hearing this.

After a moment's thought, he patted Brother Ji on the shoulder and suggested, "How about this, you invest two million, and I'll give you a 20% share. As for the difference, I'll make up the difference."

"How about it?"

"Huh?" Brother Ji looked at Jiang Lai with some surprise: "Two million, 20% share?"

Jiang Lai nodded in confirmation.

He then said gently, "Consider the two million as your cash investment. You will be responsible for the subsequent recruitment of company employees and drivers, as well as the vehicle registration and security for the logistics company. How about that?"

With a two million investment, Jiang Lai naturally wouldn't give him 40% of the shares. Even if it were only 20%, Brother Ji would still be getting a great deal.

As for why they gave Brother Kei 20%, it's mainly because they value Brother Kei's strong foothold in Sai Wan.

The logistics company is located at the Sai Wan Pier. As long as Brother Kei gets involved, things can be simplified, and Jiang Lai doesn't need to worry too much.

“This…” Brother Ji looked at Jiang Lai with a rare shyness.

Jiang Lai looked up and glanced at him with some confusion.

"How could I possibly accept this?" Brother Ji scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Jiang Lai smiled.

"How about I go find other gang leaders and see if anyone is willing to join us?" Brother Ji suggested to Jiang Lai after a moment's thought.

In his view, such a large investment must have put considerable pressure on Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai shook his head. Putting aside the complicated relationships between gangs, even Brother Ji himself was someone he had thought long and hard before letting him join.

As for the other gangs?

Jiang Lai isn't short of money, so why bother finding people to cause him trouble?

"Well..." Brother Ji looked at Jiang Lai, then at Chen Haonan and asked, "Haonan, do you want to...?"

Before Brother Kei could continue, Chan Ho-nam interjected, "I won't be involved with the logistics company."

Under Brother Kei's puzzled gaze, Chan Ho-nam continued to explain, "Brother Lai said he wanted to build a gambling ship, and he had already talked to me about it before."

"I'm planning to start a gambling ship business with Brother Lai!"

After Chen Haonan finished speaking, he raised his glass and toasted Jiang Lai.

Seeing this, Jiang Lai also picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.

"A gambling ship?" Brother Kee looked at the two of them in surprise.

Chan Ho-nam put down his wine glass, smiled, and nodded to Brother Kei in confirmation.

Jiang Lai had discussed this matter with Chen Haonan beforehand.

He didn't usually need the luxury cruise ship that the system rewarded him with, so after thinking about it, he decided to get a gambling ship and hand it over to Chen Haonan to manage.

"This...you guys!!" Brother Ji was speechless.

Good heavens, he really didn't expect that Chan Ho-nam would also board Jiang Lai's boat.

Brother Kei glanced at Jiang Lai, then at Chen Haonan, and the image of Jiang Tiansheng flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but swallow.

beat?

Is this a slap in the face?

Brother Ji cursed inwardly.

He is now unsure who in Hung Hing is Jiang Lai's man.

"Alright, if there are no problems, then it's settled." Jiang Lai said directly.

"Well... alright then!" Seeing Jiang Lai's resolute attitude, Brother Ji was too embarrassed to say anything more and agreed.

"As for the name of the logistics company..."

"How about calling it Jianghai Logistics?" Jiang Lai asked directly before Brother Ji could think about it further.

Since it's a partnership, Jiang Lai naturally needs to consult his partners.

"Uh...no problem!"
