If you have a relationship, you have to use it, in Xiangjiang, almost anything can be helped by Inspector Lu. What's more, Luo Cheng is a production line processing factory, and some of the vehicles produced are sold in Xiangjiang, so it is not wrong to ask him to help.

Luo Cheng hadn't been to Singapore, and Inspector Zhou had made him a leather bag factory, and he didn't know what it looked like. But one thing is for sure, it is definitely not enough for Luo Cheng to use, the factory that Inspector Zhou got for him was originally used to open a certificate for export, and from the money spent, I know that it will not be big, and it is good to be able to use it as a warehouse.

For Luo Cheng's request for help, Inspector Lu naturally met with him and made money from the right path, even if it was a commission, Luo Cheng made him feel refreshed. And you can earn it openly, and if you sell a hundred 'touch you', you can earn more than 200,000 yuan. If you sell a hundred vans, it will be 700,000 yuan, of course, including him and Zeng Qirong.

But with a legitimate income on top, he is not afraid of some ordinary property investigations. Because the production of vans has not come up, it is currently impossible for Inspector Lu to make millions of dollars a month, but with the business of refrigerators and air conditioners, it is actually not much. Don't look at the weather in Xiangjiang, it's also cooler, but some things don't wait to be used before buying. For some wealthy people, since this thing is going to be used, they will buy it in advance.

Just like the people of later generations to decorate the house and live in the new home, people have not lived in it, and when decorating, it is normal to make the air conditioning TV good. And this era is the same for some wealthy people, especially when Xiangjiang is in the beginning of the processing industry, business is very good, there are a lot of orders, otherwise there would be no tens of thousands of factories.

And these factories are basically on the cusp of making money, and few of them say that they have lost money. There are many people who earn money to buy a new home, and refrigerators and air conditioners are also high-end household appliances in Xiangjiang, which are naturally necessary for rich people.

So even in December, refrigerators and air conditioners can bring income to Inspector Lu. For Luo Cheng, he wanted to open a processing plant overseas, but not in Xiangjiang, because Xiangjiang lacked industrial water. The overseas Singapore area is the most suitable, with many Chinese and easy to communicate.

Speaking of Singapore, Inspector Lu remembered someone who could recommend Luo Cheng. This man is not in the trading business, but he has an industry in Singapore. Although the other party does not open a factory, as long as there is a suitable industry, it is better to change it into a factory or add something than Luo Cheng to go to Singapore in a daze.

And the people that Inspector Lu wants to introduce are the Shaw Brothers, Run Run Shaw and Shao Estate. Xiangjiang's Shaw Brothers Co., Ltd. was opened by them, also known as Shaw Brothers Film Company. Because it has not yet launched a TV business, it will be renamed Shaw Brothers Film and Television Company in the future.

The Huangmei Opera movie "Tianxian Pei", which is very popular in Xiangjiang, was also filmed by their company, and at the end of the previous year, they built a Shaw Brothers Cinema in Clear Water Bay, Kowloon.

Luo Cheng heard that it was the Shaw Brothers, you must know that the film and television industry in Xiangjiang can develop so fast, and the Shaw Brothers have contributed a lot, and they can be regarded as pioneers. Even if it declines later, it is still an existence recorded in the history of Xiangjiang film and television.

What Luo Cheng didn't know was that they were actually before Xiangjiang Lane Film and Television Company. As early as 1950, there was a Shaw Brothers & Sons company in Singapore. Later, due to the problem of business competition, he was considered to have never competed and withdrew to Xiangjiang for development.

In Singapore, the film production business is gone, but some real estate is still retained.

This Luo Cheng needs to build a factory in Singapore, and what he wants is land and real estate. Because of Inspector Lu's recommendation, Luo Cheng and the Shaw brothers hit it off. Some of the real estate in Singapore, Shaw Brothers, did not deal with it, because it was easy to lose money in a hurry. Now Luo Cheng wants to land for a factory, and the Shaw brothers can give Luo Cheng appropriate discounts.

For example, the price is normal, but you can send some houses in Singapore to Luo Cheng.

And Luo Cheng is actually interested in movies, and told Run Run Shaw that his daughter-in-law is an actress. It's just that in China, there are only a limited number of movie themes that can be shot in China. asked Run Run Shaw if there was a market for investing in making movies in Hong Kong, and Run Run Shaw's answer was very cunning. said that there is a market for movies, Luo Cheng can invest in making movies, and their Shaw Brothers Film Company has directors and good producers. You can work with them.

In fact, Run Run Shaw said this because he was afraid that Luo Cheng was not engaged in a movie, but a film company. Films, they have to be screened, and if they are screened, they have distribution and cinemas. It can be said that they do not lose anything. And if you engage in a film company, you are a competitor.

In the end, Luo Cheng felt that it was okay to engage in a movie theater, at most, the upfront investment was larger. But if you can enclose the land, the land after Xiangjiang is really a gold price. Unlike the later generations in China, it jumped when it was fried to tens of thousands of flats. And in Xiangjiang, a 100-square-meter house is considered a mansion.

If you are going to build a theater, in fact, the more movie theaters you have for filming movies, the better, anyway, they share according to the box office, even if the movie tickets sold by the movie theater are not enough for their own expenses, they have to share it with the film producer. Although Shaw Brothers also has its own movie theater, it is better for Luo Cheng to go to a movie theater than to run a film company. At least there are no other film companies in Xiangjiang at present, and there will be no competition.

On the other hand, they all think that Luo Cheng's main thing is automobiles, and the other is high-end household appliances, refrigerators, and air conditioners. This movie theater is just playing around, Luo Cheng is a celebrity in front of Inspector Lu, so it's okay to take him to play.

In this way, the vehicle production line was originally transported to Xiangjiang and then to Singapore. In Xiangjiang, Luo Cheng asked Zeng Qirong to help him get land in various areas and build a cinema.

Luo Cheng wants to go to a movie theater, Zeng Qirong thinks that he has money and no place to spend it, not that the movie theater doesn't make money. It's how much is the movie ticket, and it's just that much money for someone to watch it every day. It is a long-term return industry, and if you open a lot of movie theaters, your annual income may not be as much as the income of selling a vehicle for a month.

For this reason, Zeng Qirong also advised Luo Cheng that it is better to build a casino than a movie theater, and it is fast to get money in a casino in Xiangjiang, and there is really nothing to worry about.

Regarding Zeng Qirong's advice, Luo Cheng told him that he was just having fun, counting his interests, and not expecting to make money. As for casinos, although there are many casinos in Xiangjiang, after all, the gambling industry is not a formal industry in Xiangjiang. If Luo Cheng can open a casino in Macau, it will definitely be opened.

However, the casino could not be opened, but Luo Cheng knew that Xiangjiang would have a legal gambling business in the future, that is, betting on horses and Mark Six. Mark Six lottery is also a lottery ticket, which is attached to the racecourse, and buying a lottery ticket is actually to buy it at the racecourse.

When watching Xiangjiang movies in later generations, you can see those who gamble on horses and buy lottery tickets on the phone, which can be done with one phone call. And now there is no Mark Six lottery, mainly because TV is not popular in Xiangjiang, and it is inconvenient to watch the lottery draw.

This made Luo Cheng think of a good way to make money in Xiangjiang, he couldn't do Mark Six lottery, but he could get a scratch ticket. In fact, in the nineties in China, there was such a routine, and some people printed their own scratch tickets. The top few awards are motorcycles, color TVs, refrigerators, etc. Later, there were even cars, and you could exchange them for cash and so on.

And such lottery activities are openly held in vegetable markets in many places, which is not illegal. There were even public officials who tried their luck themselves, but later it was said that some of those who scratched the jackpot were real and some were fake. Or maybe it's a few first prizes, but in fact, there may really be one or two, and the other winners are insiders.

Luo Chengcheng wants to do this in Xiangjiang and sell it on major newsstands. Give some sales commissions to the newsstands, and then compensate some sales points yourself, and send people to sell.

The proportion of the winning amount is generally five or five. It means that if you buy a 10,000 scratch ticket, you can only win 5,000 on average. And is this whether Luo Chengcheng can get a profit of 5,000, in fact, no. It can even be said that there are not many, this scratch ticket should be implemented, and it should be above board. It is not enough to rely on Inspector Lu's face alone, and the British side must agree.

So the tax must not be less, the winner pays 20% of the tax, but the small prize cannot be paid at all. If you want to win the grand prize alone, with the current economic conditions of Xiangjiang, Luo Cheng will not be able to get more grand prizes, it is better to keep small prizes, and the grand prize amount will be 10,000.

If Luo Cheng plans to do it, he will pay a tax according to the number of tickets printed. For example, if you print 10,000 sheets and sell them for one dollar, you will pay 1,000 yuan. That's 10 percent. It is equivalent to earning 5,000 yourself, and you will pay 1,000 taxes. The tax on ordinary people winning the lottery will be directly collected.

This tax will remove 1,000, and there will be a profit of 4,000, but printing and distribution also cost money, and the newsstand will help you sell scratch tickets, and you have to pay in advance, and no one wants to do it if the distribution cost is low. Maybe another dozen percent will be removed.

In the end, even if the scratch ticket is opened, Luo Cheng's profit will not reach 30%. You also have to build a large number of lottery sites by yourself,And do this kind of business,It's impossible not to eat alone. So in the end, it would be nice to have a layer and a half in your own hands. But now because the economy of Xiangjiang has not risen, the price is one dollar, and if the economy of Xiangjiang rises in the future, some people are willing to buy two yuan, five yuan, or even ten yuan a piece. If you increase the amount of the lottery again, the low profit now does not mean that it will be in the future.

Just like the movie theater, the current ticket price is not high, which does not mean that the ticket price of the Xiangjiang Cinema will not be high in the future. You must know that in the next seven years, the per capita salary of Xiangjiang increased tenfold. At that time, the level of consumption will naturally rise.

Regarding Luo Cheng's desire to do this, Inspector Lu felt that Luo Cheng was quite smart. Don't look at the fact that there are only 3 million people in Xiangjiang, plus rich people can't buy it, so they can't look down on the money that won the lottery. The number of children is then removed, and then the poor are deducted who can't even afford to eat. But it's nice to have about a million people to buy it.

And one million people buy it, Luo Chengcai earns more than 100,000 yuan, but that is the number of times per capita, middle-income people, it is not bad to buy one every day to try their luck, that is, to buy it every day. There are others, even if on average there are hundreds of thousands of purchases per day. Luo Cheng can also earn tens of thousands of yuan a day.

But the premise is to occupy the entire Xiangjiang market, and there can be no second such business in the future. In the end, for the exclusive protection of this livelihood, Luo Cheng promised Inspector Lu that he would honor him 1.2 million yuan every year. That is, 100,000 a month, but not every month, but once a year.

After giving this money, Inspector Lu will come forward to talk to the British side about this matter, and the British side is picking up a sum of money for nothing. Because there are many private casinos in Xiangjiang, they can't collect much money. This is a lottery ticket, and if you don't give them money, you can do it too. It's just that it's not formal, and it can also be characterized as gambling. But if you do it in secret, you can't do anything about them.

This is tantamount to giving a large sum of money to the official platform, what is not to be done. As for the guarantee of exclusivity requested by Luo Cheng, Inspector Lu came forward to make peace, and the above also agreed. Because this is not exclusive, it makes no difference to the people above.

A hundred people do this, and there are so many people who buy such scratch lottery tickets, for example, they can sell a million tickets. At first, Luo Cheng was buying alone, but because he joined other people, ten people were selling, and it was impossible for each person to sell one million pieces, the market was so big, it was likely that one person would sell 100,000 pieces. Receiving money according to the number of prints may make no difference to the money received by the British side. So it's no problem at all to promise exclusivity.

But whether it is to open a factory in Singapore, run a cinema and lottery in Hong Kong. We have to wait until next year, and Luo Chengcheng has spent a lot of time talking about these things, and now it is 1963, and he has to go back to China for the New Year.

On this side of Xiangjiang, because they are all compatriots, the atmosphere of the New Year here is very strong, even stronger than in China. Even if the economy of Xiangjiang is not strong now, the average wealth is still stronger than that in China.

Therefore, during the Chinese New Year in Xiangjiang, you can see lion dancers, singing operas, and selling all kinds of retail products on the streets. This is in the country that has not yet been reformed and opened up, that is, the supply and marketing cooperatives are more lively, but the supply and marketing cooperatives and some places are state-run. It will be closed at the end of the year, and during the Chinese New Year, it will be very calm at night in the country.

At night in Xiangjiang, you can play, and the couples are influenced by the British, and they are also more open than in China. In China, if you see men and women holding hands and making love outside, you can scold them in a bad way. Sure they were scared and ran away. Try it in Xiangjiang, and if you encounter a hot temper, you will be guaranteed to beat your out.

On the streets of Xiangjiang, there are sugar people and all kinds of snacks, and Luo Cheng took Gao Ru to go shopping a few times. Gao Ru also has to bring some things back to China. She has been in Xiangjiang for three months, but she has received 2,400 yuan in wages, and because Luo Cheng arranged one-on-one English teaching. With her efforts, she is now able to communicate in English simply.

2,040 Hong Kong dollars, according to the exchange rate, is 2,000 yuan. 2,000 yuan, even if Gao Ru is a college student's cadre salary in China, it will take more than two years if he doesn't eat it, but he only worked in Xiangjiang for three months.

And you only calculate 2,004 yuan in China according to the exchange rate, but there are a few real Xiangjiang people who will exchange the money here for RMB when they go to China, and it is better to bring some things here back than to exchange money.

Buying milk powder, buying candy, and buying quilts and clothes here are all free of tickets. There are even skates for sale, which can be bought without going to the rink, and Gao Ru has to buy a younger brother at home.

But even if you buy all kinds of things, it won't cost much for Gao Ru's salary at all. I still plan to change some money to go back, but only for a small amount of money, I don't need to go to the domestic entry and exit ports to change, and there are people here in Xiangjiang who do this. The domestic exchange rate is now a piece that can only be exchanged for more than eight cents, but in Xiangjiang, many people come to bring money that cannot be used at all, and some people collect it at a low price, and the proportion of private exchange is now that a piece of Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged for more than a piece of RMB.

Hearing such a ratio, Gao Ru was surprised again, which meant that if she went to a private person to change, her 800 salary in Xiangjiang would be equivalent to more than 800 in China.

But think about it, Xiangjiang can buy so many things, all of which are in short supply in China, and they are better than those in China when they are bought back. You say that domestic money is valuable, but it is not as much as the money in Xiangjiang. Especially compared with Eagle Sauce's knife coin, one dollar can only be exchanged for one piece of six, and I haven't seen how many private individuals exchange knife coins for RMB.
