History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 338 Bullying the Elderly
"Mr. He, you are sure that Haojiang's capital can't support the auction house. If you want to run the auction house well, you must attract Hong Kong Island capital to join in, so you put on a confident look?" Gao Kening saw his confidence. , sighed: "It is worthy of being the chairman of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce."

"Have a hand!"

He Dingxian put down the spoon, raised his eyebrows, and corrected, "It's the vice president."

"The president is my father-in-law."

Gao Kening didn't struggle: "Hehe, this way, the four of us here will have a share, and we will jointly open an auction house together. Each of us will own 20.00% of the shares. You will choose the general manager, and the company will be in charge of you."

"How about we share dividends together?"

"Haojiang is responsible for the land, goods, and relationships. You are responsible for the introduction of funds, and you can do big business."

"As for the office of the Eastern Bank, whether it is an office or a branch, I can do loans, pawns, and any financial business. I will ask the lion dance team to wish you a happy opening tomorrow, but there is only one thing, Haojiang can only open A branch."

He Xian quickly said: "In a place as small as Haojiang, one branch is enough."

In fact, when Gao Kening agreed that the Eastern Bank would join the usury and pawn industry in Haojiang, it represented the opening of the Haojiang market to the Eastern Bank.It doesn't matter whether to open one or two, because the financial industry does not value the number of branches, except for opening up business in new regions, it is necessary to open branches.

If a branch recruits more employees and undertakes more business, it can still expand its business.

Of course, except for mega cities, or the establishment of a savings network, but Oriental Bank obviously does not need it in Haojiang.

Gao Kening just wanted to save a little face.

But He Dingxian didn't save him any face, and sneered: "Tsk, Boss Gao, you are a big tree, but you are already rotten. There are many ways to do business in Haojiang, why do I have to cooperate with you? I put the way of making money Put it out, I am looking for my brother to go with me."

"I can do it together with Boss Fu and Boss He. The two of them hold 33 shares, and I am 34, just one more. What can you do if you get out of the car? If you want to make money together, you have to put The grudge is resolved."

"In this way, if you pay 50 Hong Kong dollars for soup and medicine as compensation for my subordinates, and then publish your apology in the big newspapers in Hong Kong and Macau, the last incident will be over. I accept your invitation to search together in Haojiang water."

"what do you think?"

Fu Laorong frowned, and said, "He Sheng, Boss Gao is getting old, can you leave some room?"

He still cared about the Gao family's face, and Gao Kening sat at the dining table and didn't get a share of the business, so he might keep looking for trouble in the future.

The auction house is also not stable.

What's more, because of the half-life friendship, it is impossible for him to abandon Gao Kening. In a sense, the Gao family and the Fu family can come to this day because of the offensive and defensive alliance and unity. Outsiders want to draw Fu to deal with Gao. It's a fantasy.

Fu Laorong's attitude has already rejected He Dingxian's proposal, but Gao Kening knows in his heart that with his physical condition, he really can't last for three to five years. When the time comes, will the Gao family and the Fu family still be the same as they are now?He Dingxian's idea of ​​throwing him out of the car is very straightforward, but it is really effective, not today, but in the future!
He Dingxian can completely open the auction house in a few years, and kill him. At that time, the three families will join forces to eat a new cake, and everyone will have a clear conscience. Only the Gao family will be tricked out of the car, and their power will plummet.

"it is good!"

Gao Kening was silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth to agree: "I will sign an apology in the newspapers of Hong Kong and Macau, expressing my apology to the Eastern Bank, and then I will give enough soup and medicine to the brave brothers."

"Is there any other request, Mr. He?"

He Dingxian looked at the 75-year-old man and said with a smile: "Okay, for the sake of you being an old man, I will not bully the old man anymore, so the matter is settled. Tomorrow, the Eastern Bank will reopen, and the auction house will be 25 yuan per person. Mr. Fu, Representative He, what's your opinion?"

"No problem, I feel fine."

Fu Laorong spread out his hands and smiled happily.

This time, both he and He Xian got a bargain, regardless of whether the auction house can make money or not, in short, the current troubles are settled.For the two of them, it was a kind of reward for them not to fight on the territory of Haojiang.He Xian said with a smile: "Hehe, this is our businessman. Harmony makes money. I have an opinion. Why don't we replace wine with tea and have a toast?"

"it is good."

"Okay."

Gao Kening and Fu Laorong agreed aloud.

He Dingxian also raised his teacup and made a toast.

"Mr. He, you have to come to my house for dinner tonight." He Xian put down his glass and invited him aloud.

He Dingxian readily agreed: "I happen to be staying in Hao Jiang for one night, excuse me."

"polite."

He Xian was very bold.

After chatting for a few more words, the four of them have already negotiated to contribute 20 Hong Kong dollars each to set up the auction house and do a little publicity.Then He Xian will settle the relationship with the Economic Bureau and try to get an auction house franchise license.

As long as it is a new industry that has not appeared in Hong Kong and Macau, especially when it involves people's livelihood and finance, the Economic Bureau may issue a franchise license.As long as the exclusive license is obtained, there will only be one auction company in Haojiang in the future. Of course, the exclusive license is a double-edged sword, which can guarantee the company's monopoly on the market, but will also be subject to the control of the authorities.

But for the four of them, the advantages of franchise licenses outweigh the disadvantages, and the Economic Bureau may not think highly of the auction industry, and the annual salary is definitely not high.In the future, if you don't believe that four people will be able to renew the license, and the auction house pays attention to its reputation, who will be bigger than them in decades?

Fu Laorong is responsible for providing a piece of land for building warehouses and auction buildings.Gao Kening agreed to take out some of the collections in the pawn shop, and put them in one after another, making the auction house famous.If an auction house wants to gain a reputation, it is actually very important whether the collections on the shelves are good or bad, precious or not.

National treasure-level cultural relics and top-level works of art can fetch high prices and shock people's eyes with numbers.You can also use the reputation of the lot itself to bring heat to the auction house.If the auction house can't produce any good goods in the early stage, it is actually difficult to break out of the siege and be recognized by collectors.

Gao Kening's position in the auction is actually very important. Firstly, he can provide the auction items, and secondly, he can provide technical personnel.After all, many cultural relics and works of art need to be appraised, and it is easy to go bankrupt if the imitation is taken as the real one.

Of course, auction houses are not essentially responsible for identifying the authenticity of customers, but the Chinese are very concerned about integrity, and the Western approach has to be upgraded in the East.Correspondingly, Gao Kening needs the auction house more than anyone else, because he can use the auction house to sell the antiques and works of art in the pawn shop at high prices, so that the resources can be mutually beneficial, and the effect of one plus one is greater than two.

It is the same reason that He Dingxian wants to use the auction house to launder money in the future.

"The name of the auction house is Taixing Dongfang, right?" When discussing the name of the company, He Xian proposed a good solution. Let the business community know the background of the company.”

"Very suitable."

Gao Kening did not object either: "The name is good."

He is also a shareholder of Taixing Entertainment.

The name also has his share.

Fu Laorong appreciated it very much: "Not only is it pleasant to read, but the meaning is also very good, so let's settle it like this."

In terms of name, He Dingxian actually suffered a small loss because the name of Dongfang Group ranked behind Taixing Entertainment, but considering that they are a local company in Haojiang, Taixing's signboard is actually more valuable, so there is nothing to refute.

Seeing that the atmosphere became lively, He Xian glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "It's not early yet, the company has something to deal with in the afternoon, let's meet for tea some other day."

"Okay."

Fu Laorong did not hesitate.

Gao Kening supported his cane, stood up with the support of his two sons, nodded and said: "That's it, Fu Sheng, President He, Representative He, I'll go first."

"Slower."

"Brother Ning."

Fu Laorong said with concern.

However, when Gao Kening passed by He Dingxian, he stopped suddenly and said, "I'm sorry, He Sheng. It's my Gao family's recklessness to have people smash the signboard of Oriental Bank. Not only should I apologize in the newspaper, but I should also apologize. I should apologize to you personally."

He actually bowed to He Dingxian: "Sorry!"

"He Sheng!"

Both Fu Laorong and He Xian showed astonishment in their eyes.

You must know that Gao Kening himself started his career by relying on the underworld, and he was a poisonous person who dared to intervene in pawns and lending money in Haojiang. Some of them were thrown into the sea.

Today, Boss Gao not only admits cowardice, but also bends over!
This is big news.

He Dingxian, on the other hand, was holding a cigar, took a deep breath, and looked at him with a slight warning: "Boss Gao, I am used to doing franchise business, I understand, but a family relies on power to develop, the more prosperous it is, the more dangerous it is."

"The Li family on Hong Kong Island used to sell opium. How is it now? Li Xishen was beaten to death in the street. Now, apart from some ancestral property, the Li family has already been ranked in the upper class of Hong Kong Island. Old people, think about the long-term future of the family."

"We must be open, we must cooperate, and we must embrace a win-win situation. Right!"

He was wearing a suit, opened his hands, and spoke the most gentle words in the most arrogant tone.

"Be careful if you hit the street, the enemies line up to shoot your whole family."

Gao Kening nodded without changing his expression.

"Been taught a lesson."

"He Sheng."

He Dingxian took another puff of his cigar, looked at his trembling back, and said with emotion: "It's really useless to have two cubs when you're too old to play around."

"A bit of filial piety should help Laodou to carry the matter!"

Gao Fuquan listened to his words, gritted his teeth, and when he got in the car, he couldn't help complaining to Lao Dou: "When did our Gao family bow their heads to others? In Haojiang, even Fu Laorong and He Xian had to Give us three points."

"Not to mention a dragon crossing the river, how many people did Chao Yiyong let them cross the sea? Five hundred, five thousand, or fifty thousand!"

Gao Kening closed his eyes, and said aloud: "Get rid of us. When others respect the Gao family, they don't respect us, they respect me."

"You and your brother are nothing!"
