Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 240 Reporting
Even though Chu Xiangqian knew that the business of greyhound racing was very good, he knew in his heart that he couldn't handle it at all.

Even if the detectives like Lai Luo, who are big and small, will definitely be targeted by the British and local dignitaries and wealthy families in less than two or three years.

If the big pony dares to carry it by then, it won't be surprising if it is eaten alive by humans.

Moreover, the Jockey Club will not just watch someone compete with itself for customers. If you make a small fuss, they may not pay attention to you.

But once it poses a threat to the Jockey Club, the Custodian will try its best to suppress it.

This is also the reason why greyhound races will only be held in Macau in the future.

Moreover, the shareholders of this event are all giant businessmen from Hong Kong and Macao.

But for the current big and small horses, the prospect of this business is far more premised than that of Zihua stalls.

And even if the scale is not large, they will definitely earn a lot of money, and even if the scale is not large, it is the most suitable for them.

As for what Chu Xiangqian said, publishing the results of the competition in the newspaper also let the brothers understand that this will greatly improve the newspaper's business.

Chu Xiangqian also told these thoughts to Xiao Ma in advance.

The two brothers not only believed it, but also felt that he was too particular.

He didn't just pour ecstasy soup on his brothers.

Secretly thinking that the 50 yuan and the property cost are really worth it, it's no wonder that a boss of Baifanyu's level stays with Chu Xiangqian all day long.

As for the matter of being suppressed after the business grows bigger, although the big and small horses are a little worried, they don't take it too seriously.

The big deal is that the greyhound race is only greyhound racing, and all betting and the like are off-court.

After all, football matches also have off-site betting, and the game has never been stopped because of this.

After the show ended, watching Chu Xiangqian and Baifanyu leave, Xiao Ma said to his elder brother, "Boss, you still have vision, and yesterday you made up your mind to have a good relationship with Chu.

Not to mention 100 million, I will give 50 just to report the ranking of the greyhounds in the newspaper. "

Da Ma nodded, in this way, off-site betting is more convenient.

The more people watching, the more people participating.

Thinking of this, Da Ma sighed, "It seems that the two of us brothers are really not the material of the newspaper. We have a few good cards in our hands, but we don't know that they are good cards.

I don't even know how to get out. "

Xiao Ma nodded. The shock that Chu Xiangqian gave him today made him understand that doing business really requires talent and brains.
-
Chu drove forward, listening to Baifanyu in the co-pilot's seat, "Achu, do you think I want to cooperate with Da Ma once?"

Chu Qianqian shook his head directly, "Just watch, if the dog racing business is handled by the Jockey Club, then everything is possible.

But if it were a big horse, if I wanted to apply for a license, the Jockey Club would not agree.

At that time, it must only be made into an entertainment project.

Since there is no way to place bets on the field, the scale of this business is not big.

Instead of focusing on this, you might as well go to Macau to apply for a greyhound racing event. "

Baifanyu was stunned, "Then why didn't you tell Xiao Ma about this?"

Chu shrugged forward and said with a smile, "Uncle, let me ask you, is the idea of ​​racing dogs worth 100 million?"

After hearing this, Baifanyu laughed, "It's worth it, of course it's worth it, but it's a pity that it's a business comparable to the Jockey Club, but it can't be done. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick."

This is really not nonsense. In 63, the Macau Greyhound Race was interrupted for many years. After the official start again, many ordinary people were far more interested in this race than horses.

The reason is simple, horse racing is too tall.

It's a rich man's toy, and it's not a game that ordinary rich people can play.

Greyhound racing is a game that ordinary people can touch, raise and participate in.

For more than ten years, the attention of this event has surpassed that of horse racing.

It's a pity that it's where it goes online, the Jockey Club is not a vegetarian, and people on Hong Kong Island are getting richer, so they start to look down on this game.

But before the decline, if you look at the directors of the Macau Dog Racing Organizing Company, there are several named He, as well as Shark Tong, and you will know that this business is really profitable and has great influence.

Approaching the set, Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and said to Baifanyu, "Uncle, help me get a fishing boat. I have to go out to sea alone."

Bai Fanyu looked at Chu Qianqian in surprise, "A Chu, you must never touch flour."

"Where are you going?" Chu Xiangqian laughed, "I asked someone to bring a white tiger from the ice and snow in the north. I plan to exchange some stolen antiques with the nobles of England.

When the time comes, I will report it to the higher-ups. As long as I have not committed any crime on Hong Kong Island, the higher-ups will have to help me once.

With this guarantee, it is a golden body.

And if you have a relationship with the aristocrats in England, and the ghosts in Hong Kong Island want to care about my money, you have to weigh and weigh. "

Bai Fanyu's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it silently, it was really the same as what Chu Xiangqian said.

Unless Chu Xiangqian is a treacherous and evil person in the future, the Celestial Dynasty will never allow anyone to kill Chu Xiangqian.

Then he thought of Lei Luo. His son-in-law was indeed capable, but he couldn't speak English. His eyes had only been focused on his own one-third of an acre of land, which made him reach the end now.

But if he hooks up with the ghost guy in England through Chu Xiangqian, he might be able to be promoted to the level of inspector.

At that time, there will be a way forward and a way out, and the situation will be revitalized in an instant.

"Okay, I'll let Daguang do it himself in a while. I'll get you a good boat, and I'll find someone to teach you how to sail it alone."

Chu Qianqian smiled and led Baifanyu into the set.

After watching the shooting for an afternoon, and then watching the developed and rough-cut movie screens from last night, I feel relieved to hand over all the shooting for the next few days to the director and photographer.

They took away the master tape, had dinner with Baifanyu and left separately.

Chu Qianqian found a telephone booth and informed Chief Superintendent Charles of the Yau Ma Tei Police Station that he could contact Norton in England.

Charles quickly agreed, not only did he not complain at all about Chu Xiangqian letting him be the mouthpiece, but he was also very grateful.

"Chu, I will notify you as soon as there is news."

Chu Xiangqian said a few casual words and hung up the phone.

Early the next morning, all the wild monsters in Xinshou Village were wiped out.Then practice martial arts, horseback riding, practice archery, take a bath, go out and drive to the typhoon shelter.

Carrying a big backpack, carrying a pair of fishing gear, a chair, a convenient water tank and other things with both hands, he came to the beach, fishing, and waiting for Qian Guotai.

The chickadee flies around the seawall from time to time, keeping in mind that if someone follows or stares at him, he will be spotted immediately.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Qian Guotai also came over with a fishing rod, sat on a rock with a smile and said, "How long have you been here?"

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but roll his eyes after waiting for two hours. Fortunately, his advanced fishing skills were really good. In more than two hours, he caught more than a dozen sea fish.

He casually handed over the Oriental Daily I bought from a newspaper on the way here this morning.

Qian Guotai took the newspaper in surprise and read it carefully.

But after reading all of them, apart from feeling that this newspaper is quite courageous and dared to reveal that a popular martial arts actress had a candlelight dinner with a rich man, I didn't think there was anything special about it.

But how did Qian Guotai know that Chu Xiangqian was thinking that before his movie was released, he would first make a fool of himself as a popular martial arts star.

And the newspaper didn't wrong the actress this time, she did have an affair with her even though she knew that the rich second generation had a fiancée.

All fools know that she wants to ruin their marriage, hoping that she can marry into a wealthy family.

It's a pity that the rich families on Hong Kong Island have always looked down on female stars, thinking that they not only show their faces, but also show off in movies, so they are not good candidates for daughter-in-law.

Qian Guotai put down the newspaper, "Tell me something quickly."

Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry to say that he bought the Oriental Daily, "Do you think this newspaper is attractive to you?"

Qian Guotai thought about it, and after reading it, he really wanted to read tomorrow's newspaper.

Seeing him nodding, Chu couldn't help laughing, "I spent 30 Hong Kong dollars the day before yesterday to acquire 70% of the shares in this newspaper.

If nothing unexpected happens today, the sales volume of the newspaper will reach 2 copies in the past few days. "

"What?" Qian Guotai stood up in shock, looked at Chu Xiangqian for a while, and then stammered, "You didn't lie to me?"

Chu Xiangqian put away the fishing rod, took out a box of thin cigars from his pocket, lit one and handed it to Qian Guotai.

Then he took a sip himself, and said with a smile, "The effect of the newspaper revision seems to be pretty good. Within a month or two, the sales of this newspaper should exceed 5 copies.

At that time, I will be one of the few newspaper tycoons in Hong Kong Island. Uncle Qian, you said that the superiors should be very satisfied with my performance, right? "

Qian Guotai swallowed, thinking to himself that he was not only satisfied, but frightened.

"How on earth did you do it? Also, where did you get the 30 Hong Kong dollars?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled, "Xiao Ma from Fuxing, Jiang from Hongxing, and Lin San from Dongxing insisted on playing cards with me, and gave me more than 60 in one night.

I turned around and spent 30 yuan to buy 70% of the newspapers in Dama and Ma. "

Qian Guotai was about to say, you are violating discipline.

But as soon as the words came to his lips, he remembered that Chu Xiangqian was not a public official, nor had he joined any organization.

How can I have the qualifications and identity to educate him.

In the end, he could only ask, "You came to me to talk about this?"

Chu Xiangqian casually picked up the backpack beside Qian Guotai, "It contains 240 million Hong Kong dollars, which is exactly equivalent to 15 pounds.

I've given you the money. Tell your superiors that it's time to give me the things you promised me. "

After getting 50 from Malaysia yesterday, the cash in hand has reached 479 million.

Recently, there is no need to spend money, so Chu Xiangqian thought, first get the 100 kilograms of mutton fat and Tianyu, 100 kilograms of chicken blood stones and 100 kilograms of Shoushan Tianhuang.

Qian Guotai swallowed again, it was 240 million Hong Kong dollars, and Chu Xiangqian threw it in front of him.

As for the 300 kilograms of three kinds of jade that Chu Xiangqian wanted, his superiors had already prepared them before he left the capital.

Regarding the matter of exchanging jade for foreign exchange, the higher-ups have no opinion, and it has been finalized.

Only the matter of exchanging 15 pounds for gold bars made the superiors hesitate, and there is no conclusion until now.

But now that Chu Xiangqian has become the owner of a newspaper, and after he has been able to come up with so much money in less than three months after entering Hong Kong, everything seems to be different again.

Qian Guotai opened the backpack, and after confirming that it was full of money, he stammered with guilt and sweat on his brow, "You, you are so relieved to let me go back with so much money alone?
In case a robber comes, I can't afford to kill me. "

Chu Xiangqian glanced at Qian Guotai, "Could it be possible that I should send ten or eight strong men to escort you back? If you do that, fools will suspect you.

As for checks, it is easier to know who issued the check if you want to check it.

Instead, cash is the safest and hardest to trace. "

Qian Guotai understands this truth, but 240 million is really too much.

Chu Xiangqian said angrily, "Okay, I will follow you and escort you back from a certain distance, that's alright?"

Qian Guotai heaved a sigh of relief.

As for Chu Xiangqian's force value, it was obtained after several actual battles.

Moreover, this guy is petty and extremely vindictive. Whoever robs him of his money will definitely face endless revenge.

Qian Guotai was no longer in the mood to fish, nor in the mood to care about Chu Xiangqian's other matters.

He didn’t even want any fishing rods, so he picked up his backpack and said, “Let’s go, keep the money safe first, and then talk about other things.

Also, next time you have a lot of cash to hand over to me, please don't make an appointment in such a remote place, okay? "

Chu Qianqian showed a look of disdain, and seeing Qian Guotai's worried and eager expression, he did not embarrass him any more.

Put away the fishing rod and other things, then pick out a grouper from the bucket, dump all the other fish back into the sea, and leave with Qian Guotai.

Then I followed his car all the way across the sea to Wan Chai, and saw him from a distance entering Queen's Road East, the Xinhua News Agency's branch building, and then turned and left at an intersection.

Crossing the sea again, I arrived at the newspaper office in East Tsim Sha Tsui. As soon as I entered, I saw more than a dozen employees inside, all of them were busy and sweating profusely.

When he saw his new boss, he not only smiled, but also greeted him with a louder voice. Judging from this, the sales of the newspaper should be very good today.

When we arrived at the office of editor-in-chief He Yisheng, He Yisheng was on the phone with someone.

Chu waved his hand forward, signaling him not to worry about himself.

After sitting and listening for a while, a secretary came in with a cup of coffee, and Chu Xiangqian understood that He Yisheng was negotiating a new printing contract and price with the printing factory.

After finishing a cup of coffee, He Yisheng hung up the phone and said excitedly, "Boss, the 11-cent newspaper will be sold out around 2:3, and it looks like this may break through to [-] copies tomorrow."

Chu Xiangqian nodded, calm in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Have you done any research? Is it because our revised content is popular with customers, or is it selling better because we gave 2 points to the newspaper owners?"

He Yisheng nodded hurriedly, "It is true that the bosses of newspapers and periodicals are more willing to recommend our newspapers. But I believe that customers are willing to sell, but they are still attracted by the headlines of newspapers.

After all, ordinary people are very assertive and are not so easily influenced by newspaper bosses. "

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and knew that He Yisheng was right.

When I used to buy things, the supermarket's recommendation was just to take a second look. If something didn't appeal to me, I immediately turned around and left.

"Do you have a plan for recruiting people?"

He Yisheng smiled awkwardly, "I have been too busy all morning, and I thought about the homework all night. I feel that recruiting 50 people at once is a waste of resources. It is better to recruit 2 or 30 people first, and then recruit slowly depending on the situation.

In order not to ask for too many people at once, and recruit a lot of people who are fake. "

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "I suggest that you send people to a few sets and recruit some smart people from the extras. And let me tell you the truth, in my plan, the newspaper's daily sales will exceed 10."

He Yisheng was taken aback for a moment, and was about to say 'how is that possible', after all, the daily sales volume of all the newspapers of the 40 or so newspapers in Hong Kong was only 54 copies.

But considering that the sales volume of the newspaper has doubled in just one day, and it might break through 3 copies tomorrow, it seems that it is not difficult to achieve the boss's goal in a year.

Then I thought that since the newspaper mainly focuses on gossip entertainment, the extras on the set not only know a lot of celebrities, but also know the gossip of many celebrities. They really know how to find news in this area better than newcomers in the society.
