Chapter 81: Wealth
Li Zhendong, who returned to the deep area, did not take this meeting with the businessmen of the port area to heart. Whether or not to invest has nothing to do with Li Zhendong, who is not a government official now, so there is no need to attract investment. Of course, it's good to come to invest, at least there are more people on the mainland who can have jobs, and if they don't come, Li Zhendong will still live his life.
Li Zhendong did not expect a single conversation to allow this group of businessmen to invest in the mainland, which of these people is not scheming? The intention to invest in front of you is very strong, and I have forgotten it behind my mind when I turn around. Li Zhendong has too many times to deal with businessmen. Businessmen are the most realistic, profit-seeking by nature, and they can't afford to be early without profit.
What Li Zhendong said, they will naturally go to verify. Don't look at the fact that they have already revealed the final result, they will still inquire through various channels.
The simplest and most direct was the negotiation team formed again after the British mission personnel arrived in the port area, and the senior foreign officials and local high-ranking officials in the port area participated in the negotiations. Although the content of the negotiations is confidential because it is a consultation stage, the memorandum must have written about a similar proposal from China. As long as there are two people who know the secret, it is not called a secret, and in the eyes of the merchants of the port area, there is no mouth in the world that cannot be pried open. Foreigner officials are not corrupt and take bribes? NO, NO, NO, the crows in the world are generally black, the difference is that one is a domestic crow, the other is a foreign crow, and the essence is a crow! The government of Minato in the 80s has long been dyed by money. To paraphrase a saying: there is no blackest, only blacker. A detective in the port area, whose power is so great that he has no bounds, accepts benefits from all parties, and amasses a fortune of 500 million. The organizations on the road are under his remote command. Minato's movie Inspector Ray Luo is based on him.
In fact, Li Zhendong did not guess wrong at all, Li Zhendong left from the Hong Kong restaurant on the front foot, and the group of people on the back foot were already busy contacting the Hong Kong government officials they were familiar with, and most of the contacts were high-ranking foreign officials in the Hong Kong government. If you leak the wind first, foreigners are still strange, do you already have contact with the mainland? It's not fun.
Li Zhendong, who returned to the deep area in the afternoon, ushered in the troops' vehicles again, this time with two vehicles. The children of the Hunan Provincial Machinery Factory came with Qian Zhaohui. Huang Deding did not come to the Shenzhen District this time, in fact, he has a lot of things to do in the Hong Kong District, and many markets have his shops. There are also a few small factories. Here is a guy who Li Zhendong has dealt with, Ah Cheng.
There was not much cargo on the car, less than thirteen tons. This time, the children of the machinery factory and Wu Daniu and others came in handy. Ah Cheng looked at the scene of Wu Daniu carrying the goods, and involuntarily stretched out his arm to compare with each other, grinning. Li Zhendong was a little funny, this Ah Cheng was not much taller than himself, how could he think of comparing with Wu Da Niu? Ah Cheng turned his head and saw the smile on the corner of Li Zhendong's mouth, but he didn't care. Ah Cheng has a flexible temperament, so the boss puts him in the deep area to deal with things.
When Ah Cheng came from the port area to see Li Zhendong for the first time, he was really amazed, he had already started a big business with his boss at this age. What happened at night made him even more awe-inspiring, and the arrogance of his brothers on the Minato Road was suppressed by him to almost nothing. For this young man, he has the intention of pleasing Lu, such a big man, not to mention being able to make him as a friend, as long as he is familiar with him in front of him, he may have endless benefits in the future.
Seeing Li Zhendong staring at the vehicle and thinking about something, Ah Cheng asked cautiously, "Li Gongzi, is there anything wrong with this cargo?" "Ah Cheng went up to check just now, and he didn't find anything wrong. Li Zhendong shook his head, "That's not it, I'm thinking, it's a pity that this vehicle runs back empty, and I don't know what Lu Dao can transport back for a while."
For this? It has nothing to do with his own task, Ah Cheng is relieved. After thinking about it, "Li Gongzi, I have an idea"
"Oh? Let's hear it."
"A lot of water customers smuggle cheap electronic watches from the port area to the mainland, there are very few electronic products on the mainland, I heard that this kind of thing in the mainland is very good, Li Gongzi, you have a car, don't you transport a little back to see?"
"Yes," Li Zhendong, who was suddenly opened, remembered cheap electronic watches and other products in the port area. There was a time when this product was very popular in the early eighties. Brave small traders and others from all over the country came to Lingnan to buy goods. Sack by sack is transported to various places. Smuggled from the port area, local merchants in Lingnan sold several wholesale dishes. An electronic watch of more than ten Hong Kong dollars in Li Zhendong's memory is very simple, and it can be sold for nearly 100 yuan in large and medium-sized cities in China, which is a complete luxury. The fashionable girls of this era want to try their best to get a piece to wear. The cost of a few dollars, the profit in it Li Zhendong felt his scalp tingle when he thought about it. How did I forget about it?
Soon Li Zhendong remembered another thing. The martial arts complex of the Chinese people. The new school of martial arts novels spread from the port area to the mainland, influencing a whole generation or two of people. From the early eighties to the entire nineties, martial arts novels were popular in China. Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Gu Long, Liu Yanyang······ Li Zhendong nodded, "Ah Cheng, do you have a way?" ”
Ah Cheng, who was looking at Li Zhendong, was waiting for this sentence. He had friends in Minato, grew up on the streets, and ventured into smuggling. This line of work is not as easy as he said, and it is very cheap to get goods from the port area, but in the mainland, there is no way but to sell them to the locals, and the locals will sell them again. "How much does Li Gongzi want?"
After thinking about it for a while, Li Zhendong said a number, which made Ah Cheng overjoyed, this time it was 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Ah Cheng patted his chest, "Li Gongzi, in this way, I will contact immediately, I should be able to arrive in the evening, and you can transport it back tomorrow." The price is the most suitable for you" "This payment problem, tell your boss, he will advance the money first, and I will settle with him when I go back" Ah Cheng heard it, of course this is better, but I just want the boss and Li Gongzi to confirm. Li Zhendong didn't dare to ask for more, and estimated that it would be done for more than ten days. Li Zhendong is not an indecisive person, and it is really difficult to choose the path of life.
The chestnuts in the car have all been transferred, and the anxious Ah Cheng wants to leave. Li Zhendong called out to him. "Is there anything else wrong with Gongzi Li?" "Aren't there popular martial arts books in Minato? Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng or something. "Ah Cheng is confused, is Gongzi Li trying to read a book? Li Zhendong said what he meant. "Going to a bookstore to buy used books?" Ah Cheng's mind can't turn around, what are you doing with this kind of thing? There are a lot of these old books, and it's almost the price of waste paper! What the? Do you want to ship it in large quantities? Ah Cheng was a little embarrassed, "Li Gongzi, this book is not valuable, and it is quite troublesome to transport it."
Where did Ah Cheng know this? Since the 80s, martial arts bookstores have sprung up all over China. At that time, there were two types of martial arts books, one was the Hong Kong and Taiwan version of traditional Chinese books, there were new books, and the price was a little higher. Used books are collected from bookstores in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and bookstores sell broken books in poor condition to the acquisition station as waste paper. These old editions of traditional Chinese books were shipped to the mainland and sold well. The other is pirated printing, choosing good-looking martial arts books and printing them privately in the printing house, and the benefits of this are even more amazing. Li Zhendong adheres to the principle that mosquito legs are also meat, and transported a batch back from the port area to try it, which is an authentic original book, and it doesn't cost much anyway. dragged the movie performance of Shaolin Temple, at this time it was the beginning of the martial arts style, Li Zhendong felt that it was good to do this, and he took the lead in leading the trend, thinking: Am I cultural smuggling?
There are a lot of good-looking martial arts books. As long as it is famous, you can get it. Especially Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Xiao Ling, and Gu Long. Let me be a used book dealer!
What a strange hobby! At Li Zhendong's request, Ah Cheng muttered and agreed. As long as you have money to make, you can do anything.
