Hong Kong variety show: I wanted to be a lawyer, but I became a big shot.

Seeing that she was about to launch into another long-winded speech, Lin Bei quickly changed the subject.

He told her the good news that Liang Kun was about to be released from prison.

Kun's mother was overjoyed and immediately decided that she had to treat everyone to the meal, but Lin Bei stopped her in the end.

The three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

By the time we had eaten and drunk our fill, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

After safely escorting Kun's mother home, Lin Bei took Ai Lian back to Portland Street.

Over the past few days, his shops have continued to be booming, making a fortune every day.

However, Zhongxinyi and the United side also began to follow his example, and learned some of his tricks.

They also started organizing events, making their female fans dress much more revealingly than before.

Although the effect is still not as good as the variety of role-playing on Linbei's side, they have contacted the costume factory and are stepping up preparations for the relevant costumes and props.

......

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Bei asked Ai Lian to follow up on the renovation progress of the new nightclub in Causeway Bay. According to the current situation, the new store can officially open in about ten days.

As the new week began, Lin Bei drew a new skill called "Master-level Gun Mastery" from the lottery system.

"Master-level firearms proficiency?"

"Well, this thing is better than nothing, and having another skill is never a bad thing."

So for the next few days, he spent almost all his time at the shooting range.

From small pistols to long sniper rifles, he tried them all, and his marksmanship improved by leaps and bounds, hitting the bullseye every time.

At the shooting club, he also met a shooting expert named Peng Yixing.

The two had several private matches and competitions, and Lin Bei always came out on top.

After a while, Peng Yixing became completely convinced of Lin Bei's marksmanship and kept pestering him for advice.

"Alright, alright, let's call it a day."

"I have something to do tomorrow, so I have to go now."

Lin Bei put down his gun and waved with a smile.

Peng Yixing was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help but tease him.

"What, is Dao Wang Bei going out to kill someone?"

Lin Bei grumbled irritably.

"You watch too many movies, don't you?"

"No one would resort to violence so easily."

As he spoke, he took out a gold-embossed invitation from his jacket pocket and handed it over.

"I've recently opened several shops in Mong Kok, some selling clothing, some selling sneakers, and some selling women's bags."

"If you're interested, bring your girlfriend over for a look, and I'll give you a 20% discount."

Peng Yixing accepted the invitation and glanced at Lin Bei with some surprise.

Through these few days of interaction, he felt that Lin Bei was a pretty good person. He didn't have the thuggish air that was common among gangsters. Instead, his speech and behavior were more like that of a shrewd businessman who had received higher education.

"Okay, I'll definitely bring my girlfriend to support your new store opening tomorrow."

"Then it's a deal. I'll be waiting for you at the new shop for tea tomorrow."

After Lin Bei finished speaking, he patted Peng Yixing on the shoulder and turned to leave the shooting club.

That evening, he hosted a banquet at the restaurant, inviting the three Han brothers, Prince, Brother Chao, and several other hall masters.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, when the atmosphere was at its most pleasant, Lin Bei saw that the time was right and revealed his plan to do counterfeit goods business, intending to get the others involved in the deal.

"So, you guys from different branches have essentially become distributors for my factory."

"You only need to open one or two stores in each district. Just sell according to our factory's unified pricing, and you can easily earn hundreds of thousands every month."

"As for the quality of the goods, you'll know for yourselves when you visit my new store tomorrow. I guarantee it will be excellent value for money."

Han Bin spoke first, voicing the doubts in everyone's minds.

"Ah Bei, we don't know anything about women's stuff."

"Besides, when you open a shop and do business, you always need to have a batch of goods in stock first."

"Earning a few hundred thousand a month isn't a huge amount, but I'm worried that I'll end up with a lot of unsold inventory..."

His words immediately resonated with the others present, who nodded in agreement.

Lin Bei slowly exhaled a smoke ring and calmly said.

"Please don't worry, everyone."

"I only find one distributor in each region, so that there will be no vicious competition."

"And I will set a uniform retail price for the entire Hong Kong."

"In addition, I will arrange for someone to deliver to you the required quantity of goods on time."

"Anything that can't be sold can be returned to the factory at the original price, as long as the goods aren't soiled or damaged."

"Within the gang, you leaders are the most supportive of me, which is why you were the first people I thought of to do this business with."

"This is a perfectly legitimate business. It's profitable, and we don't have to pay membership fees to the organization. We can also spend the money we earn openly and honestly. Why not?"

"Of course, there's no rush for you to make a decision right now. We can make a decision after you come to my new store for an on-site inspection tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Han Bin and the others exchanged glances, all agreeing that what he said made sense, and nodded in agreement.

......

The following morning, Lam Pak's new stores in Ladies' Market and Sneaker Street in Mong Kok opened simultaneously.

With the deafening sound of gongs and drums and the lively lion dance, the scene was incredibly festive.

Many of the leaders of the Hung Hing Society sent their men to offer their congratulations.

The three Han brothers, the Prince of Tsim Sha Tsui, and Brother Chao from Aberdeen all personally showed up to support the event.

When they saw with their own eyes that the shops were packed with customers, almost overflowing with people, even the seasoned bigwigs were taken aback.

In the elegantly furnished office on the second floor of the shop, Lin Bei invited the group to sit down and leisurely began to brew Kung Fu tea.

The crown prince was an impatient man, and he couldn't help but ask the question as soon as he sat down.

"Hey, Uncle, how much stock have your stores sold since you opened this morning?"

Lin Bei smiled slightly and gestured for Ai Lian to bring over the account book.

He casually flipped to a page, looked at the densely packed numbers on it, and said calmly.

"This morning, these four stores combined probably made several hundred thousand in sales."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their mouths agape in disbelief.

"Holy crap, they sold hundreds of thousands in just one morning?"

"If this sells for a month, what will happen?"

The dinosaur touched its shiny bald head and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Ah Bei, you're really something!"

Chao carefully examined the goods on the shelf and couldn't help but ask a question.

"I just took a walk around downstairs, and the quality of the goods produced by your factory is quite good."

"Isn't this price a bit too cheap?"

Lin Bei smiled slightly and patiently explained.

"Brother Chao, a businessman should only earn limited profits."

"Highly profitable industries don't last long."

"Moreover, our factory is still expanding, and these A-grade products are marketed as high quality and low price."

"Only when the price is fair will housewives and office workers be willing to spend money to buy it."

"If it's too expensive, people might as well just buy a cheaper alternative brand-name product."

"You should know that we're not the only ones in Hong Kong doing the counterfeit goods business."

"As long as our quality is high enough, our prices are affordable enough, and our styles are updated quickly enough, these customers will always be our most loyal fans."
