Hong Kong drama begins with Liang Kun

Chapter 184
After learning of Charles' true intentions, Li Qiankun began to re-examine the current situation.

Now from an official point of view, the Walled City has become a poisonous thorn in the heart of the government. For a long time, the security of the Xiangjiang government has been constrained by the particularity of the Walled City and had to make concessions, so if it can follow the trend However, if the poisonous thorn is pulled out in one fell swoop, it can be said to be a gratifying event for the officials.

For businessmen like Charles, what they want is profit. Now, in order to get more favorable conditions from the government, they will naturally try their best to demolish the walled city.

Even if they had to pay a certain price in exchange, they would not hesitate to do so. After all, if they could solve some troubles for the officials, it would be another form of competitiveness.

Nowadays, there are not a few businessmen who have taken a fancy to the two lands in Mong Kok and Central, and there are many companies that are more powerful than Charles's company.

So it is still unknown who will get the two pieces of land in the end.

But with Charles' background, if he really managed to demolish the city, it would not be difficult to win those two pieces of land, or even more high-quality land.

Li Qiankun had already smelled the benefits contained in it, so he immediately stated to Charles: "Mr. Charles, please rest assured, if you trust me, I can help you complete this matter."

Charles waved his hand and said with a smile: "As I said just now, in fact, I just want to use Li Sheng's network on the road to attract more people to help me complete this matter. Of course, after the matter is completed, you must be indispensable." the benefits of."

"Mr. Charles, I think you have misunderstood. I don't want to share the joy of success with others. I just want to share the fruits of victory with you. Do you understand?" Li Qiankun said firmly.

Charles was stunned, then smiled and said, "I understand Li Sheng's desire to contribute to this matter, but after all, you are just a talker, and I'm afraid you don't have enough strength or even the qualifications to compete with those big men in the city. Did you guys negotiate?"

"Damn, you look down on me?" Li Qiankun slapped the wine glass on the table vigorously, and the wine glass was quickly broken into a pile...

The waiter hurried forward to help change a new cup, but he never dared to disturb Li Qiankun too much.

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm just talking about the facts." Charles quickly explained: "Actually, I also know that the leaders of many associations in Xiangjiang are either suitable for the gangs in the Walled City and have close connections, or they were born in the Walled City. , That's why I found a few clubs to sit in and invite them to help solve the affairs of the Walled City, but I think this is not enough, so I want to invite Jiang Tiansheng to join, but you also know that Jiang Tiansheng's parents and the city Some bigwigs in the village have had close contacts, so they may not be willing to help out because of this aspect, so now I can only ask Li Sheng for your help and then make peace from it, hoping that Jiang Tiansheng can understand the truth behind it. Benefits are far more valuable than his so-called friendship."

"In short, are you looking down on me?" Li Qiankun always got the most crucial point, and asked in an unhappy tone.

Seeing this, Charles still shook his head and said, "I don't look down on you, Li Sheng. On the contrary, I think Li Sheng is the most promising one among the Hongxing talkers, but it's a pity that you are not the leader now. Museum, so this busy, I am afraid you are powerless."

"Would it be possible for us to cooperate if we become a sitter?" Li Qiankun didn't seem to take Charles' words to heart, but asked the other party's bottom line directly.

When Charles heard this, his expression immediately calmed down. He stared at Li Qiankun for a long time, and then slowly said: "If you become the leader of Hong Xing's restaurant, then of course you will be my first choice for cooperation."

"Okay, then it's a deal!" Li Qiankun continued to ask with a look of determination, "Then tell me now, how much can I get if the Kowloon Walled City is demolished?"

"This……"

Charles frowned, and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. It seemed to him that the young man in front of him seemed a little ignorant.

If Charles hadn't known some of Li Qiankun's past deeds long ago, I'm afraid Charles would really leave directly and would not waste time with Li Qiankun at all.

But now, instead of leaving, Charles began to carefully examine Li Qiankun in front of him.

It's just that Li Qiankun didn't know exactly what Charles was thinking, because now Li Qiankun only wanted to know how much benefit he could get.

After careful thinking, Charles finally said: "Li Sheng, I originally planned to share part of the commercial building with my partners, but if you can get everything done within a year, I can consider increasing the remuneration as appropriate. "

"Are you planning to build a hotel in Central?" Li Qiankun seemed to ignore what Charles was saying at all, and asked about topics he was interested in on his own.

Charles frowned, but still responded: "Yes, I do plan to build a star hotel in the living area of ​​Central."

"Okay, then give me this hotel, and I will help you finish the Kowloon Walled City within a year." Li Qiankun said resolutely.

"Li Sheng, I think this matter should be considered in the long term." Charles seemed to want to explain a few more words,
But before he finished speaking, Li Qiankun interrupted him directly, and said: "I will compensate you another three hundred million, and you will give me this hotel when the time comes."

"It's not about the money..."

"Four hundred million."

Li Qiankun didn't listen to Charles' explanation at all, and continued to speak more.

Charles finally stopped refusing. He looked at Li Qiankun with a serious expression, and said slowly: "To be honest, this hotel in Central is less than 15% of my total investment, so I will give it to you. It's not a big deal, not to mention that if Li Sheng compensates me with another [-] million Hong Kong dollars, it will be fine, but then again, can you really get everything done within a year?"

"I can't figure it out, I, Liangkun, won't come out to hang out." Li Qiankun's expression was extremely serious at this time, and he couldn't see the usual foolishness at all.

Because he knew that the hotel in Central was a cash cow, so he didn't have to worry about future business.

Presumably, a businessman like Charles would not sell the hotel after it was built, but planned to let his company run the hotel in order to earn more profits.

So in fact, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a star hotel in this location.

If Li Qiankun didn't seize this opportunity, no matter how rich he was in the future, he might not be able to infiltrate his power into a commercial center like Central, let alone occupy so many resources in an entire hotel.

In order to win the entire hotel, Li Qiankun planned to fight.

After that, Charles also went back to his company to discuss the conditions proposed by Li Qiankun with the directors. After the discussion of the board of directors, it was finally decided that if Li Qiankun could really handle the matter of the Walled City within one year, then he would be satisfied. If the conditions proposed by Li Qiankun were not met, Li Qiankun would have to pay [-] million in liquidated damages.

The official process of agreeing on the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City is also proceeding at the same time, especially with the support of various forces for this matter, this process is still accelerating, and I believe that an official announcement will be made soon.

As for Li Qiankun, in order to obtain cooperation with the government and those large companies, it seems that he can only get the seat of Hong Xing's leading restaurant first, otherwise many big businesses will not cooperate with him at all. It's just that the status in the arena is not high enough.

Li Qiankun's eight karaoke bars in Xiangjiang have all been renovated, and all the equipment has entered the venue, which has fully reached the level where they can officially open for business.

Since these karaoke bars are all within the management scope of other halls, Li Qiankun handed over the right to watch these venues to the speakers of other halls for management.

This method naturally won the approval of other public officials, and these people also greatly appreciated Li Qiankun's "rule-abiding" behavior.

And Li Qiankun just used the reason of "everyone has money to earn together" as an excuse, and he established a generous image in the minds of his brothers.

In November, 11 karaoke outlets officially opened,
In fact, in the early stage, Li Qiankun carried out publicity through various media and produced a series of promotional activities.

So as soon as these eight karaokes opened, many customers flocked in, wanting to taste the novelty. After all, this kind of formal karaoke appeared for the first time in Xiangjiang. Said it was a new thing.

After the experience of the first batch of customers, they immediately fell in love with this entertainment method, and began to take the initiative to promote the Qiankun Karaoke by word of mouth, and the business of karaoke was expanded to attract other citizens.

So within a few days, there were long queues at the gates of these eight stores. Everyone wanted to spend money in the karaoke, but because the inside was full of customers, they had to wait outside and use this stupid way to win for themselves. More spending opportunities.

Li Qiankun knew that these eight karaoke bars would not be able to satisfy the consumption enthusiasm of the entire Xiangjiang people. Even before opening these karaoke bars, he wanted to open more stores.

But Li Qiankun can also predict that once other businessmen or associations find that this kind of business is very profitable, they will definitely follow suit. The more stores they have, the greater the pressure of competition they will face.

Therefore, Li Qiankun might as well hold on to the business of these eight stores for the time being, and let a large number of current customers become long-term members of Qiankun Karaoke through the membership system.
In this way, even if there are other competitors in the market in the future, Qiankun Karaoke will not worry about not having any business at all because of these stable members.

After all, you need to apply for an annual card to join the membership system. Although you can get a 3000% discount on consumption with an annual card, you can do it for a year, and you need to deposit a membership fee of at least [-] yuan in advance. At least you can keep these customers. Qiankun Karaoke does not flow out for a year...

At the same time, the seven karaoke bars in Baodao also opened at the same time, and the business was as hot as Xiangjiang, and also attracted a large number of loyal customers in the form of membership.

After more than half a month of operation, the karaoke business has been recognized by everyone. As for how many people are preparing for their own karaoke business, Li Qiankun is not clear. Anyway, the big brothers in the Hongxing Society , have already begun to curry favor with Li Qiankun, in order to be able to transform some of their businesses into the form of karaoke, and take advantage of this trend to make a fortune.

After such a long period of preparation, Li Qiankun has already figured out the entire process of the karaoke business. He even has more than a dozen sets of redundant equipment in his hands, which can be used for other stores that want to join. among.

As a result, many nightclubs under Hongxing, whose business was not so good, began to renovate according to the requirements of karaoke. There were even some Hongxing who were only in charge of spectator business, and wanted to switch to karaoke business.

Therefore, the bosses outside these associations can only turn to the various talkers who watch the scene for them, hoping to contact Li Qiankun through these talkers, and then realize the transformation of business.

And Li Qiankun originally planned to make Qiankun Karaoke into a chain operation, so he naturally accepted the requests of so many speakers,
Seeing that Li Qiankun was so generous and willing to share such a good business with his brothers, other people who talked about it naturally began to move closer to Li Qiankun, in order to get close to this big tree of Li Qiankun.

Gradually, with the help of Li Qiankun, ten of Hong Xing's twelve talkers also had their own karaoke business.

Only Niu Lao from the Southern District and Hua Dong from Yau Ma Tei did not join them.
The reason is actually very simple. It's not that Li Qiankun is unwilling to cooperate with the other party, but that Niu Lao and Hua Dong didn't take the initiative to seek cooperation with Li Qiankun at all.

But this is not important anymore, anyway, these two guys have always been at odds with Li Qiankun, and the ending now is not unexpected.

But during this period, Li Qiankun found that Chen Yao, who was a white paper fan, also seemed to want to get involved in the karaoke business, but since he usually did not directly participate in the management of Hong Xing's business, he naturally did not have a suitable venue for renovation.

It was also at this time that Chen Yao felt that although he had a high status in the association, he did not have the autonomy like other talkers, and he did not earn as much money as the talkers.

So Li Qiankun took the initiative to find Chen Yao, and handed over a contract and said: "This is a franchise contract for Qiankun Karaoke. When you sign it when the time is right, the business can officially start."

Chen Yao quickly glanced at the contract, and then asked in surprise: "This is on Niu Lao's territory, how can I be the master?"

"Not being able to do it now doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future." Li Qiankun said in a flat tone.
