July 1983.

At Kai Tak Airport, when Zhao Donghuai and a thin young boy with a height of 1.72 meters walked out of the passage, looking at the familiar environment, he couldn't help but sigh, "I'm back, I originally thought it would be done in twenty or thirty days, but I didn't expect it to take more than 40 days!" ”

He went to Ah Mei's house to collect waste paper, was it smooth?

It's not complicated at all, first went north, at that time he brought more than 700,000 Hong Kong dollars, that is, Hong Kong businessmen, along the channels of some associations selling waste paper, to see which large publicly-owned paper mills accept this, and then talk as a Hong Kong businessman.

It's not that hard.

He expected that the waste paper recovered from Ah Mei's house would be of much higher quality than that obtained by the Hong Kong Island community, and even if it was sold at the same price as the other party, the paper mill would give priority to him.

Shop around, of course, you buy good quality, don't buy shoddy.

What's more, Zhao Donghuai didn't want to make too much money from this? He is not a person who wants money in this regard, and he is one percent cheaper than the rotten boy of the Hong Kong Island community.

Just a few meals and you're done.

His purpose is to send money to the paper mill and save costs, or to send it as a Hong Kong businessman, which is too popular!

Someone who contacted Huayuan Group? It's also very simple, he is a Hong Kong businessman, and he is a buff in the mainland in this era...... Or let the Huayuan freighter on the return trip empty, carry the goods and collect the freight, and still send money!

Is it hard to send money?

It is nothing more than a meal to negotiate prices, and the atmosphere in which the mainland treats Hong Kong businessmen well is very good.

The most difficult point is to go to Ah Mei's house, where to collect waste paper, this? He went to collect waste paper, not any automobiles, real estate, film and television industries, etc., just collect waste paper!!

When you go to the place to find people in related industries, you can add one percent to the market price, and you will become, and Ah Mei's family is just a rag king who sells waste paper.

It's nothing more than a language barrier, Zhao Donghuai's English rookie, who had already returned to his alma mater before crossing the school, was next to him a secondary six graduate in Dakeng Village, Xiao Zhao Qiang, with the same academic qualifications as him, but Ah Qiang was good at English and could barely communicate with foreigners.

Before he found Cuong, he worked as a waiter in a Western restaurant, and he knew a little English, so he might get a little more daily tips.

After going to Ah Mei's house, Zhao Donghuai talked about business, and the main force was a middle-aged translator who was proficient in English invited from Huayuan Group.

After more than 40 busy days, he finally came back, more than 700,000 Hong Kong dollars when he departed, and a few tickets were tens of thousands, and he came back...... He brought back 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

The biggest reason is that he doesn't want to haggle too much and waste a lot of time and energy, and secondly, he can't get too much Hong Kong dollars at a time from the paper mill he contacted.

Not to mention that paper mill, the other party went to a few brother units to dismantle, but they couldn't make up more.

In addition to the 2 million Hong Kong dollars he brought out, a paper mill also owed him more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Zhao Donghuai still said clearly, if you don't give me enough Hong Kong dollars to settle the bill, I won't be able to continue trading with you next time, and I can barely make up 2 million.

He thought about exchanging more than 2 million arrears into investment, and it is not difficult for mainland paper mills to settle accounts in RMB, but he has no way to invest in real estate now.

Let's turn it into an IOU first.

"It's still a little too early, but it's still a huge profit."

70 more than 200, and more than 200 debts, this harvest is only about 40 days, more than five times the net profit!

Of course, this refers to those papers that have been paid to Ah Mei's customs from the shore of Ah Mei's house, and have also paid taxes in the mainland.

He was still sighing, and Zhao Qiang said in a trance, "Brother Huai, how many millions did we really make on this trip?" Oh my God......"

"I may tip a little more than others, but how many years will this take?"

As he spoke, Zhao Qiang grabbed Zhao Donghuai's arm and shook it as if he had just come to life, "Brother Huai, the current house in Jiulongtang is only more than 800 feet, and more than 80,000 can buy 100 feet, 80 million feet, 1,000 square feet!" ”

"That's Kowloon Tong!"

In 1980, the average price of housing prices in Kowloon exceeded 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per foot, but with the advent of 83 and 84, housing prices plummeted, and the current average price is only more than 500 Hong Kong dollars.

The average price, Yau Tsim Mong and To Kwa Wan, Ngau Tau Kok, Sau Mao Ping and so on, is not the same grade, Yau Tsim Mong is much higher than the average price, the latter is lower than the average price.

Zhao Donghuai shook his head helplessly, "Don't think too much, have you made a note of how to run the business?" Now let you go to my sister's house to buy waste paper, can it be done? ”

Zhao Qiang smiled awkwardly, shook his head and waved his hand, "Brother Huai, you also think too highly of me." ”

He recruited a small man from Dakeng Village, who was still a little clever and a stable and reliable person, thinking that when he didn't have time, he would let the other party run on his behalf.

Right now?? I can only say that I think too much.

took out a cigarette and took a puff, Zhao Donghuai spoke, "2 million, it's still not enough, but now I just continue to run to my sister's house, and I can't take out Hong Kong dollars from the north." ”

After smoking a cigarette, he took out 10,000 yuan and handed it to Zhao Qiang, "This is your dividend, next time I want to make a fortune and learn English well, I hope that next time, you can communicate with foreigners on a daily basis, even if you speak slowly, as long as you can communicate." ”

Don't think that he gives less money, and only gives 10,000 yuan when he earns so much...... It's really Zhao Qiang, this time it's the whole process of soy sauce.

Except for giving him an extra money for air tickets and hotel accommodation, nothing has been accomplished.

When Zhao Qiang was excited and didn't know what to say, Zhao Donghuai said again, "Remember to keep it secret, I hope that the next time you set off, you will be given 100,000 or 200,000, instead of many people competing for business with us." ”

He is not afraid of too many people stealing business.

Again, at present, mainland paper mills can't give so much Hong Kong dollars, and they can only keep accounts if they have no money to settle the bill, which is easy to discourage enthusiasm.

This kind of business has come a few times, more than a dozen times, and I am afraid that by next year, he will be able to set up a small factory in the mainland.

After chatting with Zhao Qiang for a while, on the way back to Kowloon Tong by taxi, Zhao Donghuai had already begun to consider whether the accounts in the mainland could be brought back in other ways, after all, he had 4 million yuan in his hand, and he had an excellent [New World] above the level of the 83 version of the film, and he had a good grasp of it.

Two million is still a bit too much.

It must be explained that Zhao Donghuai is not only making movies now and not doing waste paper business, why don't you continue to pick up money?

Before coming back, he told the paper mill where he traded that if the units in other provinces needed it, as long as he could settle the bill in Hong Kong dollars, he could contact him at any time, and he could continue to run, and then ...... This time, a paper mill in eastern Guangdong made a profit of waste paper.

It's not about giving money, it's a public enterprise, and giving waste paper resources is more attractive to the other party than giving money.

When he returned to Kowloon and stayed in a hotel, he took out the BB machine, and this thing rang, and he called the pager to understand the situation, and Zhao Donghuai quickly dialed Zhou Yanfa.

The phone was connected, and Ah Fa was shocked, "Director, are you back?" I thought you had evaporated from the world, and our movie was still not made? ”

Before Zhao Donghuai left, he said that he would give them a month or two of preparation period, so as not to make everyone in a bad state after the filming started, but you basically can't get in touch after you go for more than 40 days, which still makes people a little panicked.

The people who made an appointment last time, not to mention the cost of energy, also have a lot of time costs, for example, Zhou Yanfa can't make movies, and there are definitely not many TV series schedules, and he also made four TV series in 83 years.

Lu Liangwei was all in the period of building momentum for Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, and he played a supporting role to win the newcomer.

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "I was busy a while ago, I came out to eat in the evening, by the way, can you help me deliver a message, I want to see Boss Shao." ”

Zhou Yanfa said excitedly, "Are you going to prepare?" Director, if you just rent equipment, you don't need to see Boss Shao now, he may not have time, and if you want to release it, someone else is responsible. ”

Zhao Donghuai explained, "No, it's a little business. ”

Since 85 years, Boss Shao has donated an average of more than 100 million yuan to the mainland every year, and his account of more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars in the mainland has been negotiated to find Boss Shao for exchange? It's not far from him donating, and donating is still every year.

Before this, Boss Shao will definitely not be without a psychological construction process.

Boss Shao won't help him for free, there should be drama at some cost.
