236 Hoarding and waterways
Chu Xiangqian carried his handbag, got into the car casually and was still in the co-pilot's seat, and then said to Duan Hongchun, "Old Duan, the taste of the restaurant is the first, it's true."
But service and hygiene, if you make a mistake once, the restaurant's business will plummet. It will take years for the sea to slow down, or even to slow down, you know? ”
"Understood, understood", Duan Hongchun nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Chu Sheng, I will definitely remember your words." ”
Chu Xiangqian can now be said to be Duan Hongchun's God of Wealth.
The restaurant's business improved by 30% last month, and it was only a net profit of 20,000 yuan.
If this had been changed to before, Duan Hongchun would have been able to sleep happily.
But after selling 20 sika deer, he earned 40,000 yuan in this alone.
It can be said that it only takes half a year for him Duan Hongchun to earn back a 'backbone' restaurant.
At that time, if Chu Sheng doesn't plan to open a branch, for a person like himself who is not very ambitious, then listen to him and go to buy a building and a store.
If Chu Xiangqian knew his thoughts, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.
In his memory, a 14-square-meter bubble tea shop in Causeway Bay in the future was bought at a price of 94,000 yuan when he bought it in 64.
But in 11 years, the price alone was as high as 380 million.
The highest monthly rent once reached 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars a month.
In just 57 years, the return on investment has reached 30,000 times.
That's three times higher than the return on buying a stake in the company when IBM was founded.
Therefore, Chu Xiangqian told Bai Fanyu that the store in Causeway Bay can be heirlooms, which is really not nonsense.
The rent of 10 stores alone in the next year will be at least 150 million.
When I got home, I went to the novice village and lay down in the fountain to take a bath, and by the way, I soaked my clothes in the fountain and purified them.
Then I started to calculate the income for these two days.
In the morning, the rice fish gave away 1 million and the property rights of the Causeway Bay Cinema, and won 650,000 in the evening.
plus the 60,000 yuan for buying tiger and deer glue for rice fish, it is equivalent to 1.71 million cash in hand.
If you add the 300,000 yuan to the big and small horses, it is equivalent to your income of more than 2 million in the past two days.
However, tomorrow if you win the white rice fish, the five cinemas in Kowloon will have 2.5 million.
After careful calculation, 5 million cash was found from Lame Hao's secret warehouse before, plus 80,000 yuan of scattered money in his hand, which means that he only has 4.29 million left in his hand.
After 12 o'clock in the evening, all the wild monsters in the novice village were brushed.
The experience also successfully exceeded 100,000 and was upgraded to level 11.
Characters: Chu Xiangqian, level 11, 500/150,000
Seeing that the total experience of upgrading from level 11 to level 12 had only increased by 50,000, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After thinking about it, I still add points to my physique.
Constitution 8.8
Power 3.7
Agility 3.5
A feeling of comfort emanated from his body, and Chu clenched his fists forward, and suddenly felt a little stronger.
Da Zhuang, Red Chick and still need two or three days to upgrade.
The Red Rabbit and Jade Lion were successfully upgraded to level 10 1100/51200.
Originally, the two horses added 6 points of constitution, 1 point of strength, and 1 point of agility, and adding agility was the choice to highlight their advantages.
But Chu Xiangqian knew that in the real world, there was no need to make the speed of the two horses incomprehensible.
In the end, it can only be added to the constitution again.
With this data of 1.4 +7 physique, even if you let Chitu run at a constant speed of 30 kilometers per hour for a day, it will be no problem.
This is the true meaning of a wild journey.
This horse was placed in ancient times, under heavy armor, it was really invincible.
Maybe a horse can change a city.
Chu Qianqian secretly said that in the future, he would never let Chitu run endurance races of hundreds or thousands of kilometers.
Otherwise it's too scary.
——
The next morning, Chu Xiangqian called Uncle Hai and Sanjiangshui, asked them to keep an eye on the crew, and told the director to let them continue filming today.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiangqian went to 'Wong Weixin Law Firm' at the appointed time, and discussed with Xiao Ma and the lawyers of the two brothers to complete the change of shares in Oriental Daily.
From this moment on, Chu Xiangqian officially entered the Hong Kong Island newspaper industry.
As soon as the contract was signed, Huang Weixin, a barrister, immediately improved his attitude towards Chu Xiangqian by several levels.
It even makes people feel that he is a little flattering Chu Xiangqian.
Chu Xiangqian, who was about to wait for Bai Fanyu to come over and sign the sales contract for the 5 movie theaters, went to the newspaper office to take a look, and first said a few words to the big and small horses, asking them to wait for him for a while.
Then he took Huang Weixin to his office, sat down and asked, "Lawyer Huang, are you in trouble?" ”
Huang Weixin hesitated for a moment before he showed an embarrassed smile and said, "Chu Sheng, I'm really sorry, if it involves a legal issue, or something that the bad guy can solve, I don't need to trouble you."
But this time it's a person from Macau who is looking for trouble, and I really can't do anything about him. ”
Chu Qianqian nodded, as a senior barrister, the network will never be small.
Even if it is some big clubs, there is no need and will never provoke him.
As for the bad guy, my heart trembled when I saw him.
A complaint, maybe the plainclothes have to be transferred to wear military uniforms, even if it is at the inspector level, it will be a headache.
But if you encounter a cross-border lawsuit, the headache will have to be his lawyer Huang.
Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Say, what's going on?" ”
Huang Weixin reasoned his thoughts, lit a cigar for Chu Xiangqian, and then said, "I have a customer who is ignorant and is stunned by a beautiful girl.
spent hundreds of thousands on the woman before and after.
It's better to say if it's just for money, after all, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
But the woman saw that there was no hope of entering the wealthy family, and actually said that she had the fruit photo of my client's son in her hand, and she was pregnant herself.
Now people have fled to Macau and colluded with the people of the association. said that if it is one million, the child will be killed, otherwise it will not only be published in the newspaper to expose the fruit photos, but also raise the child to fight for the family property.
I asked someone and the woman was not pregnant. It's just that my client is worried that if it drags on for a long time, it is likely that he will really get pregnant with a child and threaten him. ”
Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at Huang Weixin, it was nothing more than that the scumbag didn't want to be responsible.
After the dream of a gold worshipper girl marrying into a wealthy family was shattered, she thought about making a lot of money.
But there is no DNA testing these days, and it would be a big problem for that woman to have a child with someone else's man.
"Lawyer Huang, it seems that the lawyer's fee given by your client should not be low."
Huang Weixin was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly and said, "The lawyer's fee is indeed very high, but it is not money, but a 4 acres of industrial land worth 20,000 Hong Kong dollars on the Tuen Mun side of the New Territories."
My client's money is not much, but he is definitely a big landlord in the New Territories. Many villages and towns in the New Territories have large tracts of land. ”
Chu Xiangqian's heart moved, although the New Territories at this time was rural, and because it was a lease, the British had never planned to develop there.
But if I remember correctly, it seems that from 60 years onwards, Tuen Mun will plan to develop into a new town.
Of course, after the development plan is determined, if you want to develop it, you can't see results in one or two years.
But an acre of land is only 5,000 yuan, spend 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and buy 20 or 40 acres is still there, and it is not difficult to increase it by one or two times in two or three years.
If the factory is built and rented, the rate of return will not be low.
"Is there a plan to develop a new town in Tuen Mun, announced?"
Huang Weixin was stunned, and he only knew the news a few days ago.
Otherwise, where would he look at the land on the other side of Tuen Mun, I didn't expect Chu Xiangqian to know it, and listen to his 'new town', it seems that he knows more than himself.
After attaching importance to Chu Xiangqian in his heart, he raised it by one level again, nodded and said, "I heard from my teacher that it should not take a month or two to announce it." ”
Chu Xiangqian immediately smiled and said, "Lawyer Huang, I don't care about your 4 acres of land, but you have to help me buy a larger piece of industrial land, and I will help you solve the trouble in Macau, how about it?" ”
"No problem", Huang Weixin immediately agreed. Anyway, there is a lot of land in the hands of customers.
Sending Chu forward 10 acres is only 50,000 yuan.
Compared with the million Hong Kong dollars that the woman threatened, it is a drop in the bucket.
Of course, Huang Weixin and Chu Xiangqian both knew in their hearts that when they were big landlords in the New Territories and their local forces were extremely strong, it was impossible to just find Huang Weixin to handle this matter.
So be fast.
Chu Xiangqian picked up the phone on the table and called Deng Fei.
"Hey, who?"
"Uncle Deng, I, Achu."
Chu Xiangqian put the phone on the table and asked Huang Weixin to listen to it too.
Only then did he have a selective explanation, and Deng Fei quickly understood.
said with a smile, "Chu Sheng, after the person is found, will he send it back to the New Territories, or will I let someone deal with it directly?" ”
Chu looked forward at Huang Weixin, where did this guy dare to speak now.
Hurriedly stretched out his hand and motioned for Chu to move forward.
Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Uncle Deng, let's see if that woman is really pregnant with someone else's child."
If there is, then we have to support others to get justice.
If it's a lie, it's casual. ”
Deng Fei smiled at the corner of his mouth, knowing that Chu Xiangqian had said so much, and the last sentence was the point.
"Okay, I'll give you a call and ask, there's news for you."
Chu Xiangqian hung up the phone and looked at Huang Weixin, "Lawyer Huang, I want the land, it's better to move quickly." If I could, I would pay 500,000 yuan to buy 100 acres of industrial land. ”
"This,,", Huang Weixin was being exposed by Chu Xiangqian's sentence just now, 'If you deceive people, then it's casual', and his disregard for human life was scared.
Hearing Chu Xiangqian say that he wanted to buy 100 acres of land, he was shocked in his heart.
Although the 'New Town' plan is about to be announced, there are not many people who are really optimistic about the prospects of Tuen Mun.
The reason is simple, there is not much population in that place.
And no matter how good the new town plan is, it is not as good as Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
Many young people still run to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
With a small population and the loss of young people, it will be difficult for real estate to make great achievements for a long time.
Real estate cannot be developed, and the appearance of the city cannot be changed in a short period of time.
The development of new towns is also not going to be fast.
Therefore, in Wong Wai Shun's view, spending 500,000 yuan to buy land in Tuen Mun is better than buying properties, stores, and even a small and not tall building in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
But Chu Xiangqian knew that the development of Tuen Mun did take time, but in a few years, a large number of toy factories would appear in Tuen Mun.
In the 70s, it once became the world's largest exporter of toys, and remained the world's No. 1 for many years.
This requires a large amount of industrial land.
Just keeping these 100 acres of land, the annual rent is a lot, and the most important thing is that although the business does not make much money, it employs hundreds or thousands of workers, and not only does the social status be much higher than that of the simple rich.
Local influence can also be regarded as a kind of protection for oneself.
Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would be stupid to go to a rural place like Tuen Mun to buy 100 acres of land.
Even if you don't own a factory in the future, you can still use the land as a shareholder.
100 acres of land is enough to open an industrial park by yourself and pull ten or twenty toy factories to settle in.
If a few thousand people work inside, those politicians in Tuen Mun will 100% win themselves over.
Or even cling to yourself.
This is the best means of self-protection.
As for the land shares, it may be taken advantage of, and the appreciation of the land is cheap.
It's a big deal, sign a 10-year or 20-year use right with the factory, not the property right.
Not only in the past 20 years, but also the development benefits and large dividends of Tuen Mun industry.
After the land was repossessed in the 80s, it was just in time for the special period before the British were about to be driven out, and they were given money to do things.
Convert industrial land into commercial land and build high-rise buildings.
Of course, you can also spend money to convert the land into commercial land now after you get it.
Not long after, after Bai Fanyu arrived with a lawyer, Chu Xiangqian signed a contract with him for the transfer of five movie theaters in Kowloon and Bai Fanyu to be responsible for the decoration.
In the end, even the playback equipment, Bai Fanyu patted his chest and said that he could handle it, and even if it was in the cost of 500,000 yuan.
Chu Xiangqian glanced at Bai Rice Fish, and secretly wondered in his heart if this old man had something to ask him for help again.
Huang Weixin whispered in his ear, "Chu Sheng, Mr. Bai is in the parallel goods business, and he can get cars, hardware, gasoline and so on from other cities to Hong Kong Island.
A few sets of equipment are not difficult for him, and they can be at least 5% cheaper. ”
Chu Xiangqian was relieved, and at the same time, his attitude towards the white rice fish also became important.
Those who can walk by water, let alone themselves, even the mainland may want to win him over.
Not to mention the future, just transporting grain, rice fish is much easier than others.
But how to pull him into the game has to be carefully considered.
Then he took out a box, and when he opened it, he saw that it contained a full 2.5 million in cash.
Not to mention the lawyer, even the rice fish and the big and small horses watching the excitement couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.
Thinking that Chu Xiangqian came to Hong Kong Island, but in just two or three months, he could casually come up with such a large amount of money, and he couldn't help but think that in the future, he would follow this kid to do business, and the money he would get in a year might not be worse than the side business.
It's just that there aren't many chips that can make Chu Xiangqian's heart move.
And the rice fish has already taken the lead, and even got on Chu Xiangqian's boat.
"Achu, give Uncle me 10 days, keep it and let people work overtime, and decorate the 6 cinemas for you.
When the equipment is bought, it will be six large movie theaters that can seat three or four hundred people.
Together with my four, it is a cinema chain of 10 movie theaters.
In the future, Uncle will touch your light and change from a club boss to an entertainment tycoon. ”
The big and small horses who said this were envious to death.
Chu Xiangqian laughed, if Bai Fanyu concentrates on shooting Fengyue films, and when he has experience, he will invest in other types of movies, and there is indeed a high probability of becoming an entertainment tycoon.
After all, he has a movie theater and funds, and within ten years, during Lei Luo's reign, he doesn't have to worry about the trouble of the club and other film companies looking for him.
It can be said that rice fish is unique in this industry, and its advantages are extremely obvious.
The big and small horses congratulated again and again, but they hinted again and again in their words that they wanted to intervene.
Chu Xiangqian and Bai Fanyu are so easy to pull these two brothers into the game.
It's perfunctory as if you don't understand.
After a polite conversation, Deng Fei's phone call came in.
Chu Xiangqian went to Huang Weixin's office, and soon heard Deng Fei say that the woman should indeed be pregnant.
But the child's father is most likely an aunt in Macau.
In other words, when the woman was dating the son of Wong Wai Shun's client, she had always maintained a relationship with an aunt.
Chu Xiangqian still had a bottom line in the end, and said to Deng Fei on the other end of the phone with a smile, "Uncle Deng, send that woman to the countryside to find someone to marry." ”
"Okay", Deng Fei said with a smile, "I'll handle this matter, and I'll keep it properly." ”
Half a month later, Deng Fei and Chu Xiangqian gave him a photo of a woman and a man taking a group photo at the Lion City Pier when they had the backbone to drink morning tea.
As for the aunt, Chu Xiangqian didn't care.
There is a high probability that it has been reclaimed.
——
Out of the lawyer's office, Chu Xiangqian drove the car and followed the big and small horses all the way to the newspaper office.
But I don't want the old guy to come over with a dead face.
Xiao Ma looked unhappy, but when he was in the law firm just now, his brothers were cheeky and didn't leave, and now it's really hard to deal with Bai Fanyu.
The four of them took seven or eight younger brothers into a four-story building in Tsim Sha Tsui East, and before Chu Qianqian entered, he also looked left and right at the environment around the newspaper.
I secretly said in my heart, although I am buying land in Tsim Sha Tsui now, I can't afford it.
However, it was still necessary to pay for the tidal flat across the street from the newspaper office and build a warehouse and printing house.
After all, if nothing else, the development of the newspaper will be very fast, and the supporting facilities should be built first, so as not to drag down the development of the newspaper.
This is a serious matter, and naturally we cannot look at the issue of buying land from the perspective of investment.
Then, on the grounds of building a courtyard wall, a large area of purchased land was fenced off with a fence.
At that time, not only will there be no shortage of land for the newspaper to be expanded, but after twenty or thirty years, the tidal flat land will soon become an excellent commercial land after it is reclaimed from the sea.
Chu Xiangqian thought about it, simply bought it with his own money, and then authorized it to the newspaper for 10 years at a price of 1 Hong Kong dollar.
A few decades later, thinking that this land alone could make billions, or even tens of billions, again, Chu Xiangqian felt that it was too good to spend 300,000 yuan to buy 70% of the newspaper's shares.
Of course, as long as Chu Xiangqian is willing to spend money, one or two hundred thousand can also easily build a newspaper.
With the ideas in your head, it should develop a lot.
At least Chu Xiangqian knew that gossip and entertainment newspapers were very popular with ordinary people in this era.
Otherwise, the Oriental Daily in the real world would not have changed its style, and the sales of the newspaper broke 80,000 in more than a year.
In another year and a half, it will achieve daily sales of 300,000 in one fell swoop, and this is not the limit.
At its peak, 580,000 copies were sold in one day.
This is also the sales record of the Hong Kong Island Daily.
It's just that it develops on its own, and the newspaper can only stabilize in a year or two, and Chu Xiangqian is also a little worried, if the big and small horses don't give up the Oriental Daily, maybe there will be another opportunity to grow the newspaper company.
It's better to buy this newspaper first, and the opportunity to break the size of the pony is broken.
Second, after getting acquainted, it is easier to start other types of newspapers.
Entering the office building of the newspaper office, when he went upstairs, Chu Xiangqian said to Da Ma beside him, "Brother Da Ma, can you buy the tidal flat land opposite?" ”
The chubby horse was stunned for a moment, took a few breaths, and held on to the wall of the corridor with one hand before he said, "Chu Sheng, are you thinking about the future expansion of the newspaper?" ”
Chu Qianqian nodded, "These lands should not be expensive, and people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries." If your brothers think that you should slow down, then I will pay for it alone and buy 10 acres or 20 acres and put them there.
If the newspaper needs it, I can rent it to the newspaper at 8% of the market price, and negotiate the price every 5 years. ”
As soon as Bai Fanyu heard it, he knew what Chu Xiangqian had in mind.
He said before that money will become less and less valuable, of course, taking advantage of the low price of land now, to buy a large amount of land and put it away.
And just like he said, these tidal flats are not worth much at all, and if you buy 10 acres, even if you buy it here, it will not exceed 200,000 yuan.
Da Ma shook his head, although the two brothers are developed, even if the younger brother chases a female star, he can throw out hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
But it is really difficult for them to spend 200,000 yuan to buy a tidal flat with no prospect at all.
Chu Xiangqian saw that Malaysia hesitated, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll buy it myself, and then build a few warehouses and factories, and when the sales of the newspaper office slowly go up, we will build our own printing factory."
Moreover, I plan to print newspapers for the local newspapers on Hong Kong Island without making a dime other than labor and other expenses.
As a result, business is bound to be much lower than that of other printing houses.
If other newspapers want to trouble us, they will have more scruples.
By the way, our newspaper's own printing costs can also be reduced, and the newspaper will naturally make more money, which can be regarded as transferring the profits of the printing house to the newspaper.
And this is a good thing for all newspapers, maybe that day Brother Ma will become the first president of the Hong Kong Island Newspaper Association. ”
Malaysia's eyes lit up when he heard it, he had money and a lot of subordinates in the past few years, and he had long thought about how to improve his social status.
The president of an entire industry, thinking about it makes Malaysia feel that this matter must be approved.
"Why don't we buy 10 acres of land together?"
Chu Xiangqian waved his hand, "I still buy the land myself, you go to do it, the president of the association, I'm still young, I don't need this." ”
The big and small horses had a good impression of Chu Xiangqian, and they burst out all of a sudden.
Bai Fanyu laughed secretly in his heart, Chu Xiangqian could be regarded as grasping the weakness of Malaysia's good name.
In the future, this fat man obviously does not have as many shares as Chu Xiangqian, but he has to do his best to take care of the newspaper, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is working for Chu Xiangqian.
After meeting He Yisheng, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Chu Xiangqian, the new boss, quickly appeared in the big office and greeted all the employees of the newspaper.
By the way, his salary has doubled this month, and he pays for it himself.
Instantly won everyone's favor.
Back in the editor-in-chief's office, Chu Xiangqian did not sit in the position of editor-in-chief, but sat opposite the editor-in-chief with Ma and began to understand the basic situation of the newspaper.
