Queen's Road is located in Central, which is a very prosperous area in Hong Kong, and belongs to the central area of the city, so the houses here are very tight, Jiang Ran is now looking at the house is a few streets away from Queen's Road, and there is still a distance from the commercial area, otherwise Jiang Ran can't afford to rent a house in the commercial area now. The house is surrounded by a residential area, and the flow of people around it is not bad, and Jiang Ran is relatively satisfied with the surrounding environment. This house is located on the corner of the street, is a relatively old single-family house facing the street, with three floors, the ground floor is not less than seven meters high as a pavement, and the upper two floors are houses. Jiang Ran took a look at the area of the single floor, which was about 100 square meters, and the area of the store for opening a video hall and video tape rental was completely sufficient.

"Sister-in-law, how can you rent this house?" Jiang Ran asked as he looked at it.

The sister-in-law glanced at the two of them with suspicious eyes, and seemed to not believe that the two of them were able to rent this shop, "Help others ask! If you rent sincerely, it will be 2,500 yuan per month." ”

"Why don't you go and rob it!2500?Believe it or not, I asked someone to close your shop?" Before Jiang Ran could speak, Ah Qing was in a hurry.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I came to rent a shop sincerely, you are far away from the commercial area, or on the corner of the street, your price is completely slaughtering. Jiang Ran pulled the anxious Ah Qing Dao.

Jiang Ran didn't learn other skills in his previous life, that is, he learned to grind with others in the fight with production workers, plus Ah Qing jumped out from time to time to scold and threaten, and finally Jiang Ran and his sister-in-law signed a one-year contract, 1800 yuan per month, and paid in March.

Jiang Ran paid the deposit, and agreed with his sister-in-law to pay the money tomorrow and officially sign the contract before coming to the Queen's Bar with Ah Qing, this is the base camp of Rotten Mori, he is not only the bar's watcher, but also the shareholder of the bar, and all the businesses in the bar, such as pornography and drugs, must be paid to Rotten Mori. It's still afternoon, and there aren't many people in the bar, most of them are waiters or rotten little brothers.

Jiang Ran and Ah Qing walked in the door, and a few little brothers gathered together at the door to smoke and fart greeted Ah Qing courteously.

"Brother Qing is here!"

"Brother Qing is good!"

Then he said to Jiang Ran: "Ah Ran hasn't been here for a few days, how is the injury?"

"It's much better, you talk, I'll go to Sengo to say hello. Jiang Ran responded with an amiable smile.

Ah Qing took Jiang Ran up to the second floor and asked a younger brother, "Brother Sen, are you in the office?"

"Brother Qing, the boss is in the office, and now there is no one inside. ”

"Okay, Ah Ran and I have something to do with Brother Sen. Ah Qing said to the younger brother, then turned to Jiang Ran and said, "Ah Ran will go with me to see Brother Sen." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the office of Rotten Mori, and when he arrived at the office door, Ah Qing knocked on the door, "Bang!"

"Brother Sen, I'm Ah Qing, are you there?"

"Ah Qing, come in!" a low, slightly flirtatious voice came from inside.

Ah Qing pushed the door into the house, and Jiang Ran also followed into the office, which was simply furnished, with tables, chairs, sofas, TVs, etc. At this time, a flat-headed middle-aged man was on the desk with a cigarette in his hand and watching TV, when he heard the door open, he turned his head and said to Ah Qing: "Ah Qing is here, sit!" and then said to Jiang Ran, who came in later: "You are with Ah Qingdi, the last time you were opened with fat and fat, I remember you." ”

"Brother Sen is good!" Jiang Ran hurriedly nodded and said hello, but he didn't think much of Rotten Sen's words, "Remember Lao Tzu, why don't you reimburse Lao Tzu for medical expenses,!"

"Brother Sen, Ah Ran was injured this time, his parents made a fuss and asked him to go back to help the family, he had no choice but to come to me and talk to Brother Sen, and Ah Ran wanted to find a shop on Brother Sen's territory to eat, and I wanted to ask Brother Sen to take care of it. Ah Qing went straight to the point and explained his intention to Rotten Mori.

Rotten Sen looked at Jiang Ran for a while, and then said to Jiang Ran: "You have also contributed to the community, plus A-Qing's face, if you want to live on my territory, I will definitely take care of it, and someone will trouble you to report my name in the future." ”

Jiang Ran hurriedly said to Rotten Senha: "Thank you Brother Sen for taking care of me, I want to open a small shop for video tape rental, and I will pay the monthly money on time." ”

Rotten Sen glanced at Jiang Ran, "How much money does your shop make?" ”

"Thank you, Brother Sen, thank you, Brother Sen!" Jiang Ran immediately pretended to be grateful.

"Let's go out, I'll talk to A-Qing. Rotten Mori said with a wave of his hand.

"Brother Sen, goodbye!" Jiang Ran said to Ah Qing after saying to Rotten Sen: "Ah Qing, I'll go home directly, I won't wait for you." ”

"Well, you can go back directly, and come to me directly if you have something. Ah Qing said after sending Jiang Ran out.

After Jiang Ran went home, he told Father Jiang about today's events before falling asleep peacefully. The next day, Jiang Ran got up early in the morning, had breakfast and hurried to complete all the follow-up procedures for the house he found yesterday, and went to register an audio-visual distribution company, which is mainly engaged in videotapes, records and other audio-visual works screening, leasing and trading, etc.

Jiang Ran returned home and found Jiang's father, Jiang's father introduced him to an acquaintance to do the store decoration, and in the next few days, Jiang Ran was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and Jiang Ran personally participated in and decided everything, not only to formulate the decoration plan of the storefront, but also to decide the number and model of the containers and shelves required, how many tables, chairs and benches are needed? How to print the screening tickets for the video hall? How to do the shop signs? How to publicize the store? What type of disc needs to be purchased, and how much is needed? Jiang Ran made a careful decision after careful consideration of everything, because he couldn't fail, he didn't know if he failed this time, he would be able to have the confidence to start a business again, Jiang Ran had never succeeded in his previous life and this life, and his current confidence was completely built by the insight of the extra decades in his previous life.

After everything was almost decided, Jiang Ran decided to start buying videotapes, Jiang Ran brought the business card with the printing number, and he wanted to directly find a film distribution company to buy the videotapes, of course, the big distribution companies in Hong Kong are mainly Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. Jiang Ran's plan to buy it is either high at the box office, or good reputation, or the old golden classic, and then there is ***.

Jiang Ran came to Jiahe first, and the person who received Jiang Ran was a young man in his twenties, who should be a newcomer who had just joined the company, because others didn't look down on Jiang Ran's small order at all.

"Hello sir, my name is Li Dong, I am an employee of the distribution department of Golden Harvest, I heard that you need hundreds of cassette tapes this time? I think you can buy the cassette tapes you need directly in the market. Li Dong asked while inviting Jiang Ran to sit.

Jiang Ran took out the business card from his arms and handed it to Li Dong, and said, "Mr. Li, hello! I am the founder of Ranfeng Audio, and I despise Jiang Ran. Burning Maple Audio-Visual has just been founded, mainly engaged in the rental, sales and screening of video tapes, and there is only one store at present, so the amount of discs needed is small, but I hope to explore and summarize the audience of various video tapes in the rental market through the current store, and then open a second, third or even more stores. Jiang Ran's face was full of confidence, at least in Li Dong's opinion, Jiang Ran was very confident in his company.

After a pause, Jiang Ran continued: "Now that Hong Kong's economy is developing rapidly, there are more and more families with family video players, and the video tape rental market will get better and better. ”

Li Dong listened very carefully, saw that Jiang Ran finished speaking, and said with a smile: "So, Mr. Jiang, what can I do to help you?"

"I hope that the videotapes I need in the future can be ordered directly from Golden Harvest, and I also need a batch of hardcover bags with special customized packaging, and I need a batch of celebrity posters, and of course I hope that the price can give me a certain discount. ”

"Mr. Jiang, although your order quantity is not much, but considering your long-term order needs, I can make the decision to deliver the goods to you, but the price can only go according to the market price, of course, if your order volume increases in the future, you can negotiate the price at that time. ”

Jiang Ran said to Li Dong helplessly: "Okay, the price is no problem, this is the details of the disc I want, when can you ship it to me?" Jiang Ran asked while handing the list to Li Dong.

Li Dong took the list and said while reading: "Mr. Jiang, because some of the discs you want are not in stock and need to be customized, you need to pay first, and then I will ship them to you within a week." ”

"Okay, no problem, I hope we have a happy cooperation!" Jiang Ran stood up and said to Li Dong.

After coming out of Golden Harvest, Jiang Ran went to Shaw Brothers and other film distribution companies to order a batch of videotapes and posters, he didn't plan to make records for the time being, and after ordering the videotapes, Jiang Ran went to buy DVD players, televisions, stereos and other things, and also bought a batch of drinks and snacks to be sold in the video hall.

Time passed quietly in Jiang Ran's busyness, and April 1980 was about to end, and Jiang Ran also prepared all the work and just waited for the opening.
