I haven't been a boss for many years

"This is where blessings and misfortunes lie, and where misfortunes and blessings rest." Duan Long sighed.

"Fate is wonderful."

Chen Lang said again.

"It's just that the process is a bit cumbersome and takes a month..."

"This move is against the harmony of heaven and will hurt Shapolang's personality, but I am willing to do my best for Mr. Duan."

"Please don't worry, master. I would like to contribute to solve all the expenses, and I will offer 100 million Hong Kong dollars as a gift to repay the master for his hard work." Duan Long gritted his teeth and poured out another large amount of blood.

Chen Lang saw him rushing to give the money, and smiled: "Thank you Mr. Duan, it is not easy to prepare for the ceremony, and it needs to consume my life. I hope Mr. Duan understands."

"If you do something, you will be rewarded. I should repay Master for your help." Duan Long put his palms together and bowed to thank him.

After hearing that Chen Lang would hurt his fate, he suddenly felt that 100 million flowers was not a loss. After the feng shui ceremony was over, the position of Xin Ji's storyteller must be at his fingertips. It's drizzle.

Before leaving, Chen Lang confessed: "Mr. Duan, in this month's time, be more careful, as long as you don't start a dispute with Sha Polang, you should be fine."

"Master, don't worry, even if Zhang Guobin comes to slap me during this time, I will hand over the other side of my face!" Duan Long said through gritted teeth.

Feng Shui is not necessarily useless, but if it is used to change the fate of the sky, it is a big joke.

But some people are convinced of it.

Central, No. 36 Stanley Street, Lu Yu Tea House, at a dining table, Wu Zhaonan is wearing a black exercise suit, with the cuffs folded up to reveal the short skirt inside,

Picking up the teacup, he took a sip of tea boldly, and said aloud, "Mr. Zhang, the news that two people were killed at the Yihai Changhong Conference has spread all over the world."

"The name Heyi is so prestigious now that Xinji doesn't dare to touch the dragon's beard."

Zhang Guobin smiled helplessly: "Brother Wu is joking."

"A Changhong conference with hundreds of people didn't put a penny in my pocket. I thought I could make millions more by hosting the conference. I didn't expect that,

Upside down 10,000+ Hong Kong dollars. He raised his teacup and took a sip, shaking his head with a wry smile on his face. In fact, this year's Changhong Conference did not fetch a penny, but it was indeed held very successfully. The whole Hong Kong Island Jianghu was impressed by it. It is difficult for anyone to dare to provoke He Yi.

Daquan helped Brother Biao smoke a cigarette, and asked aloud: "Abin, new year, new weather, what kind of business do you plan to do in the new year?"

"Let's make a small fuss." Zhang Guobin took out a cigar from his suit pocket, took out a lighter and lit it with a calm expression, he knew the reason why the two gangsters invited them to drink tea, and without it, he wanted to follow Let's drink water together.

Wu Zhaonan didn't believe in evil, turned to look at Daquanbiao and said, "Abiao, I don't need to care about what Mr. Zhang does, just wait for Mr. Zhang to eat up all the land in Zhonghuan."

"In the past few days, fans of our two venues have gone quickly, and the business is very good. Why?"

Da Quan Biao laughed and said, "Because the territory occupied by Mr. Zhang doesn't attract fans, it always takes advantage of us."

"Yes!"

Wu Zhaonan nodded heavily, turned around and shouted: "So, I must remember Mr. Zhang's kindness, and keep some of the money he earns. When Mr. Zhang runs out of money for big business, he will come to us."

We don't charge a cent. "

Daquan Biao rolled his eyes and said with a cheap smile, "Just take a few shares."

"Right?"

"Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Guobin thought that there are two old rivers and lakes, one is better than the other, but considering that the construction of Pier No. [-] will take up a large part of the cash flow this year,

I am afraid that there will indeed be a lack of certain funds in terms of investment. Instead of stopping the pace of expansion, it is better to conduct a round of rivers and lakes financing.

The assets of the number gang and the big circle gang are not smaller than a venture capital institution.

Zhang Guobin let go and said, "That's right, Brother Wu.

"For shopping malls, we pay attention to win-win cooperation. With the support of two big bosses, the small business may be able to grow bigger."

Wu Zhaonan immediately raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Mr. Zhang has any new ideas, tell Brother Wu, maybe Brother Wu can help you a little bit."

"This year, I want to support HK Electric's expansion."

HK Electric is a power group that continues to make profits. Its annual revenue exceeds HK$[-] million. In the future, as the demand for electricity continues to expand, the income from electricity will definitely increase.

Even if the electric power group is an industry that makes money lying down, there is competition among each other, and they need to fight against their opponents.

HK Electric's biggest competitor is undoubtedly CLP Power, stock code: 0002, abbreviated as: CLP Group.

This completely British-funded company uses "China" as its signboard, and its proprietor is the representative of Hong Kong's British capital, Sir "Paul Chater", who was born in a wealthy British family and has stronger support behind him. There have been no mistakes in decision-making. The development of CLP Group has always been very strong. Last year, it took over the Cheung Chau Power Company and began to provide electricity for the outlying islands. If HK Electric Group does not catch up with the layout, it may fall behind the CLP Group. develop.

Wu Zhaonan showed a deflated expression: "Develop HK Electric Group?"

"I won't discharge it either."

"Hehe, a few days ago, CLP Group sent people to Guangdong Province to discuss the nuclear power plant project. The president of HK Electric drove to me overnight to report. I also plan to support HK Electric in negotiating the nuclear power plant project. There is no need to think about buying CLP."

Zhang Guobin shrugged his shoulders and drank tea: "However, in the land of the Chinese, the power company should always be the big man with Chinese capital, and the British capital can't make money. They should be small."

Daquan Biao jumped up, opened his mouth and shouted: "Mr. Zhang, you want to engage in nuclear weapons?"

"Playing so wild?"

Wu Zhaonan widened his eyes and exclaimed, "What?"

"Nuclear weapons?"

The guests at the tables near the tea table all heard the prestige, and their faces were full of ghosts. Xiangjiang just announced the "Sino-British Agreement" and is about to build a nuclear weapon launch station, and the citizens are not allowed to live!

Zhang Guobin coughed twice, almost choked on the tea, and quickly pressed his hands and said: "Everyone, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, it's a nuclear power plant, not a nuclear weapon."

The astonishment of the guests did not decrease but increased, Wu Zhaonan asked aloud: "Isn't the nuclear power plant just to charge the nuclear weapons?"

Another guest shouted: "If you attack your mother, the government will lie to us. Stonecutters, the ghost said that a fisherman's wharf will be built. In a blink of an eye, a military wharf was built for me!"

"Every day, the big warship hums and hums back and forth, and there are eight exercises in one month, eight times!" The guest stood up wearing a mandarin jacket, gesturing with his right hand.

The three of Zhang Guobin are all accompanied by bodyguards, Ma Zai, they don't look like ordinary people...

These words are highly credible!

Chapter 390

Zhang Guobin no longer explained to the onlookers at the scene. The more he explained the scene of blowing water kings in the teahouse, the more chaotic it was.

He just sat down and explained the function of the nuclear power plant to Wu Zhaonan and Daquanbiao. Wu Zhaonan and Daquanbiao showed suddenly realized expressions. Daquanbiao arched his hands embarrassedly and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Mainlanders have only heard of nuclear weapons, but never heard of nuclear power plants. This is the first time they know that nuclear weapons can also be used to generate electricity. Since Mr. Zhang is willing to lead us to do such a big business, Jia Qianwu and I should also express our gratitude.”

"Yes, Zhang Sheng, when doing business, we should pay attention to win-win cooperation." Wu Zhaonan recovered his demeanor, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth, chewing: "I recently discussed a small matter with Da Quanbiao. Business, if Mr. Zhang is interested, we can do it together."

"Brother Wu, please tell me." Zhang Guobin spread his hands and said.

He would like to see what kind of business the two can research.

Wu Zhaonan said: "Arcade games are very popular in Japan recently. Some people from the Taiwan island community went to Japan to buy two machines and put them in gambling stalls to attract customers. At the beginning, ten slot machines and two arcade machines were placed. Turn on the arcade, turn off the slot machines."

"Later, I found that more and more young people started to play arcade games, so I decided to set up an arcade hall. Unexpectedly, it became more and more popular. Now there are [-] arcade halls in Taipei City."

"Daquan Biao and I also plan to open several arcade halls in Xiangjiang to attract some young customers."

The customers of underground gambling stalls are mainly young and middle-aged, and students are a very small part.

There is no conflict between running gambling stalls and running arcade halls.

What's more, exchanging real money for counterfeit money in arcade halls is a business that only makes a profit. It is normal for gangsters to focus on it. However, from 1978 to 1987, it was indeed the first golden age of arcade machines. In Asia, Japan was the first to catch up. Footsteps, followed by Taiwan Island, South Korea, Xiangjiang...

Because, the sons always have to take care of Laodou's business first, right?

Cultural transmission first started from the colonies.

Arcade machines actually originated in the United States. They were originally pinball machines in bars and claw machines in shopping malls. Later, they were written into computer programs and implanted with chips.

Using lever control, several games in the early years were born. Japan joined the arcade market with its amazing business sense and learning ability. Many game companies such as Taito, Nintendo, and Midway Island have created many well-known and popular games, which have become the favorite of many Asians. Childhood memories, the limelight surpasses that of the United States.

Currently the hottest arcade game is Taito's "Space Invaders" series, "Bubble Bobble", "Metal Slug", "King of Fighters", "Super Contra", "Mortal Kombat" series of games Is the fire to the 90/00s.

Of course, there is no loss in doing arcade games in Xiangjiang, but the key is that there are some arcade halls opened by some businessmen in Xiangjiang, which have certain competitiveness.

Zhang Guobin frowned and asked: "Of course it is possible to run an arcade hall, but arcade machines need to be imported on the one hand, and game copyrights must be purchased on the other. In addition to the rent in Central, the rate of return is not high."

As for the rest of the arcade halls, which are not in the eyes of the three of them for the time being, it is not very difficult for the three bigwigs to join hands to take down the arcade market.

If the arcade halls are opened in Kowloon and the countryside of the New Territories, then there can only be one or two machines, let alone how much money they make.

Rural students don't have much spending power, and they might get spanked if they play indiscriminately with arcade machines. Offending villagers in the New Territories for a little money is not worth the candle.

Daquan Biao laughed and said, "Of course there is no money to be made in arcade games alone, but Brother Jiaqian and I plan to join hands to link up the gaming stalls and arcade halls under our banner. The gambling stalls will all use the tokens of the arcade halls. Arcade halls are used to deceive people, and on the other hand, it can expand the pool of underground gambling stalls.”

Zhang Guobin's eyes lit up, and he said in a firm voice: "You can also keep the cash flow in your hands, and earn interest just like Haojiang Casino!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang."

Daquan Biao snickered and said, "Add a few more grades to the tokens to replace large amounts of currency. Gamblers can choose to exchange the money on the spot, or they can choose to leave the money in the gambling stall and continue to use it when they come next time. Just let the spectators keep the accounts."

"We then open an account in an overseas bank, and exchange a relatively large amount and write a check directly to him, but we cannot let the tokens flow out of the market, and everything must be operated in the market."

This operation actually has certain risks. For example, if the tokens are forged, it is like someone playing an arcade with forged tokens. However, the scale of the gambling stalls is not very large. Causing a backlash, the fish that slipped through the net of a few hundred yuan is insignificant compared with the interests of the gambling stalls.

Wu Zhaonan threatened: "If anyone dares to tamper with the accounts and tokens in the venue, cut off his limbs and throw them into Xiangjiang."

"If Mr. Zhang joins us, our three major names will join forces, and our strength, credit, and force will all satisfy customers and be mutually beneficial."

This is a real benefit.

What's more, even if the underground gambling stalls of the three major brands are all connected in series, spread all over the entire Hong Kong Island and in every block, the scale is only about five or six hundred, and the combined turnover is not as high as the three-story gambling hall in Lisboa. The strength of large font size is enough to control the interests and risks.

"it is good!"

Zhang Guobin nodded and agreed: "If you have money, you don't make money, you bastard. In two days, I will send someone to contact you to push forward the joint venture between the three companies. In addition, I have an idea that arcade halls need a unified brand for chains. If it is successful, it can be expanded to industries such as electronic playgrounds in the future.”

Wu Zhaonan and Daquan Biao looked at each other, and immediately praised excitedly: "Mr. Zhang is worthy of being one of the three tycoons of Xiangjiang.

I am willing to add money for this! "

"In addition, we can already buy pirated versions of arcade games, hehehe." Da Quanbiao laughed softly: "And we have opened a coin-making factory in the New Territories, and occasionally use machines to make some fake coins. Isn't it a waste of money? ?”

Zhang Guobin rolled his eyes, and quickly persuaded: "Brother Biao, don't make coins, the cost is higher than the original price!"

"what?"

"Is that so?"

Da Quanbiao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Abin, have you tried it?"

"I never made Hong Kong dollars." Zhang Guobin shook his head with a smile, Da Quanbiao nodded and said: "Forget it, let's make tokens with peace of mind. If the operation is good, the tokens can also be turned into real money."

In the world, if there is a technique of turning stones into gold, it is tantamount to using stones instead of gold and silver for transactions. When a certain brother has the value of gold and silver, isn't it equal to gold and silver?

There is no fairy art in the world, but there is a little bit of turning stone into gold.The right to mint coins is often only in the hands of large-scale machines. For a while, the three of them also got a little power in the closed loop of a small industry. It is estimated that they can make a lot of money when they are really made. However, underground business may not last long, but the future of the arcade market Ten years is a lot to do.

In the big circle, Wu Zhaonan pays more attention to gambling stalls, and only treats arcade machines as a bonus, but Zhang Guobin pays more attention to the arcade market, and when the joint venture company was established, he also got an extra [-]% of the shares.

Zhang Guobin talked with the big circle gang and the number gang about the arcade business and electricity business, and after drinking morning tea, he drove back to the Hutchison Building.

The three associations did not really merge the gambling industry, but only unified the transaction mode, just like the settlement of countries using a banking system,

It will definitely make settlement easier and attract more gamblers, but the stalls that belong to them will be their stalls, and the number of customers will be as many customers as they get. Running away as soon as possible can increase the reputation of the stall, but it also brings certain risks to the three associations.

Fortunately, the three associations have been in the underground gambling industry for many years, and they are well aware of the importance of reputation. The company will pay compensation to those who lose their stalls and run away.

Zhang Guobin then handed over the integration of gambling files to Brother Yao, and asked Brother Yao to be in charge of liaising and coordinating the various outlets.

Two weeks later.

office.

Datou Kun, wearing a shirt over his head, strode into the room and bowed: "Bing Ge."

"Ah Kun?"

"Sit!" Zhang Guobin smiled and beckoned, Datou Kun sat down on the sofa chair restrainedly, Zhang Guobin walked to the reception area with a teacup, sat down and preached:

"The site in Causeway Bay has been consolidated?"

"Um."

Datou Kun said with great enthusiasm: "In the five newly purchased streets, there are a total of thirteen gambling stalls, seven horse stalls, six nightclubs, and bars.

There are eight buildings for valet parking, twelve parking lots, and some rent-collecting shops and apartments. There are a total of 320 apartments rented out by Xinji, all of which have been transferred to the company. "

"It's a contract to rent out an apartment."

Datou Kun handed over a contract with both hands.

There is an obvious characteristic of associations entering Central, that is, the number of various underground industries has decreased, and the income of formal industries controlled by illegal means has risen. The economic situation determines the social form. Valet parking is actually tantamount to monopoly charging in parking lots. Think about it How profitable are the downtown parking lots in big cities? You know the income from valet parking in Central. The valet parking on five streets alone can exceed a dozen stalls in Kowloon.

"It's hard work." Zhang Guobin took over the rental contract, with a plan in mind to expand the rental industry. If it can be turned into a monopoly, it will be even more profitable.
