History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 56 The Paper Mill Business
He Dingxian left Chai Wan Road and did not leave Hong Kong Island. Instead, he took a rickshaw to the downstairs of Sing Tao Daily in Causeway Bay and waited until Zou Huaiwen got off work.

Zou Huaiwen was very surprised when he saw He Dingxian who was guarding the door. He opened his mouth and asked, "Boss He, why did you come to Hong Kong Island?"

"I just went to Ruihetang to drink tea with my seniors." He Dingxian put on a cheeky pose, but he didn't look embarrassed on the surface, as if someone really invited him to Hong Kong Island to discuss business.

Zou Huaiwen immediately showed a very interested expression when he heard the words, and asked carefully before approaching: "Ruihetang is the place of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, and the big bosses of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce hold meetings in it."

"Yup!"

He Dingxian didn't know the meaning of Ruihetang at all before, but he seemed to understand it when he suddenly recalled it: "Of course people from the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce talk about things in Ruihetang."

Zou Huaiwen couldn't help asking curiously: "Which big boss are you with?"

"No, it's just Wanglaoji chatting and drinking a few cups of tea." He Dingxian said modestly, but hooked Zou Huaiwen's addiction. Climb up the relationship.

If you can climb up to one or two big bosses in the Chamber of Commerce, let alone being transferred to an English newspaper as an editor, it is not difficult to open a newspaper independently.

"Wanglaoji!"

"That's the director of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce!" Zou Huaiwen was very surprised when he heard the name.

He Dingxian nodded humbly: "Is it so powerful? I should have respected me earlier, but fortunately, Boss Wang is very talkative."

Zou Huaiwen nodded and said: "Boss Wang is indeed famous for his kindness in the business world, and he likes to support juniors. Can you ask if Boss Wang is looking for you for business?"

"It's not presumptuous, it's just a little impolite." He Dingxian said with a smile: "At least you have to treat me to dinner."

"no problem."

"Come with me!"

Zou Huaiwen patted his chest, took care of everything, and didn't care about He Dingxian's affairs. He dragged him down the street, walked into a Chinese restaurant and sat down to order.

After He Dingxian ordered two meat dishes, Zou Huaiwen added another dish and two cups of soup. When He Dingxian picked up the chopsticks, he revealed the secret: "Haha, in fact, Boss Wang didn't talk to me about business. He just saw me in Kowloon. The one-yuan movie store opened in the district has a good business, and I plan to recommend me to join the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.”

"Join the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce?"

Zou Huaiwen's eyes were surprised, he didn't delve into it, and replied casually: "It's good to join the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. You can borrow low-interest membership fees, and you can also build relationships with big bosses."

"It will be more convenient to talk about cooperation and business."

He is not from the rivers and lakes. He doesn't know what joining the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce means to the members of the low-level associations, the police and the police.

The two identities of a rich boy and an intellectual in him are enough for him to live in a beautiful and happy world. The same world looks completely different when viewed from different angles.

So he thinks that the benefits of joining the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce are just that, and the threshold is not high. The key is to have your own business.

But for He Dingxian, the benefits of joining the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce are huge. Firstly, his business can be protected by the Chamber of Commerce, and he is no longer afraid of being stolen by the association and the police in power. Have a look.

Otherwise, even if he did a great job, he could be taken away, just like everything Liu Fu had planned before.

Although, in a sense, the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce is also a group that unites to resist the plundering of the Chinese by the ghosts' capital. The real big boss may also be stolen by the ghosts.

However, as Chinese capital continues to grow and continue to develop, this chance will become smaller and smaller, and Hong Kong Island adheres to the principle of free economy, and the government will not easily intervene until the balance is out of balance.

Moreover, He Dingxian has not yet reached the level of the big boss. The game between the government and the British capital is the future, and the game with the little ghosts is the top priority.
"Yeah, I think it's good to join the chamber of commerce. If you're a member of your own family, you have to save face and don't mess around." He Dingxian smiled, and when he saw the dishes were served, he started to chopsticks.

Zou Huaiwen's mind was not here, and he dealt with it casually: "With Director Wang's recommendation, you must have no problem joining the chamber of commerce, but what do you think about the business you talked to last time?"

Ever since he came to live on Hong Kong Island, he has been thinking about making full use of his professional strengths, hoping to make a name for himself in the media industry. However, as the money brought by his family gradually ran out and material life began to be tight, a problem appeared in his mind. Come up with the idea of ​​starting a business to make money.

It is definitely not easy to rely on him alone. Firstly, no real swordsmen have worked in the mall before, secondly, there is not enough business resources and capital, and thirdly, he is afraid to grasp promising business opportunities. Young If a person is not brave enough to think about it all day, the opportunity will slip away alive.

Originally, his life trajectory was to join an English newspaper as he wished, join Shaw Brothers when Yifu Shao returned to Hong Kong, use his talents and family background to complete a career change and accumulate experience, and finally came out alone to start a business and establish Golden Harvest.

But when he saw that a small uniformed policeman in He Dingxian was able to make a fortune in Hong Kong Island, and easily took over the movie stores in the entire Kowloon area, earning more than [-] yuan a month. If he wants to do some business with his mind active, it is best to bring in a partner to do it together. At present, the most suitable candidate he can get in touch with is He Dingxian.

He Dingxian murmured pretending to be considerate: "According to the current circulation of newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, it is definitely profitable to open a paper mill, but the white newspaper industry is mixed at present. There are more than 20 paper mills in Hong Kong. There are Xinsen Paper, Hongwei Paper Factory, and the small ones involve the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, and Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, so it is not easy to fight a bloody road."

Zou Huaiwen agreed: "The current situation of the industry is like this, but if there is a paper mill with a reasonable price, qualified machines, and complete staff, it will be much easier for us to start. Moreover, there are now more than 100 newspaper offices on Hong Kong Island, which print newspapers every month. The required white newspapers are more than [-] sheets, and the combined profits of all newspaper offices are huge.”

"You can also see that the population of Hong Kong Island is increasing, the circulation of newspapers is increasing, and the performance of paper mills has been on the rise. How can they not make money? If you want to be valued by others in the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, you can't just rely on A dollar store! Our partnership must have something to do!"

He Dingxian nodded: "I agree that the future prospects of the paper mill industry are good, but if it is 100% profitable, why would the paper mill ask for someone to take over?"

"Is it the same as doing business, you make money while others lose money?"

He wants to find out the bottom line today.
