Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

"Don't worry, boss. I understand all this." Liu Huaqiang nodded seriously.

Sheng Jiale suddenly remembered something and said to Zhanmi, "How are the A-grade products selling recently? Is business okay?"

When this was mentioned, Zhanmi immediately said excitedly: "That's great. A-grade goods were very popular originally. Now that Shenzhen's economy has improved, A-grade goods are even more popular. They can generate considerable profits every month."

Now, for Qiangsheng Investment Company, the real money-making businesses are the A-goods business and entertainment venues, and the rest are just investments.

"That's good, keep it up." Sheng Jiale said.

"Boss, besides real estate and the entertainment industry, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Jimmy asked.

Sheng Jiale thought about it, and an idea popped into his mind.

“I actually have an idea.”

"Boss, please go ahead."

"Zhanmi, have you ever eaten instant noodles?" Sheng Jiale asked.

"Instant noodles? I've eaten them in Hong Kong Island."

Jimmy recalled that it was what he ate when he had just joined He Liansheng and was a short mule at the bottom.

However, as his status improved, he never touched this thing again.

"What do you think of the market for instant noodles in the mainland?"

"I've never thought about this, but it shouldn't be a big deal."

Jimmy said hesitantly.

The price of instant noodles is not high, but it also depends on where you are. It is indeed very cheap in Hong Kong Island, but the same price is different in mainland China.

The economic level here is completely different from that of Hong Kong Island. Ordinary people are basically not willing to spend money on fast food such as instant noodles.

"Boss, the consumption level here is lower than that of Hong Kong Island, and the consumption concept is also different. No one should be willing to spend more than ten dollars to buy fast food, and I don't think this market is very big."

Jimmy thought for a moment and said.

"Huaqiang, what do you think?" Sheng Jiale did not comment and looked at Liu Huaqiang again.

Liu Huaqiang thought for a moment and said, "If we lower the price, we may be able to open up the market.

There are several instant noodles on the market now, but the taste is really not that good.”

Hearing what the two said, Sheng Jiale nodded and said, "How about this, Zhanmi, you should find a suitable place as soon as possible to build a factory to produce instant noodles."

"Boss, isn't it a bit too hasty to enter the fast food industry like this? Do you want to investigate the market further?" Zhanmi reminded diligently.

"no need."

Sheng Jiale waved his hand and said, "I am optimistic about the market for instant noodles in the mainland."

At present, the fast food market in mainland China has not yet developed and is still in its infancy. The only few companies producing instant noodles produce rather shoddy products.

It cannot be compared with the instant noodles in Hong Kong and internationally, but because of its local advantage, the price is relatively low and affordable for ordinary people.

"Let me set the tone for you. First, we must ensure the taste of the instant noodles. Second, we must keep the price down. At least it cannot be more expensive than other instant noodles on the market. Otherwise, it will be difficult to sell our products."

Sheng Jiale said to Zhanmi.

This is how it is in this era. If a fast food is sold too expensively, ordinary people will not even have the desire to buy it.

After all, instant noodles are a product that wins by quantity and follows the mass approach. It would be meaningless if ordinary people can't afford it.

“But in this case, the profits will be very low. Is it necessary to get involved in this market?” Zhanzhang worriedly asked.

"Don't worry, the instant noodle market is far from what you think. There are so many people in the mainland, so as long as we open up sales channels, we won't have to worry about profits."

Sheng Jiale said with a smile.

The memory in his head told him that instant noodles sounded insignificant and seemed low-end, but in fact the profits they could generate were extremely huge, especially when the market was monopolized, the annual profits were astronomical.

"I understand. I'll get it done as soon as possible." Jimmy agreed.

"Another point is that workers must undergo rigorous training, welfare and other things must be planned in advance, and factory hygiene must be taken seriously."

Sheng Jiale warned.

"I understand all this." Jimmy nodded.

Then Sheng Jiale remembered something and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. After the factory is built, remember to find popular artists to advertise. Hire as many as you can. I want everyone to know that our instant noodles have entered the market."

This kind of advertising bombardment strategy is very common in later generations, and the public has long been accustomed to it, but the effect is absolutely outstanding when it is used now.

"Ok."

Jimmy agreed.

"Okay, nothing else."

Sheng Jiale said.

"Then boss, I'll take you back to the hotel." Zhan Mi said, and he and Liu Huaqiang accompanied Sheng Jiale out of the office.

The three of them went downstairs and came outside.

"Boss, please get in the car."

Liu Huaqiang opened the car door.

Sheng Jiale was then sent back to the Hilton Hotel.

"Boss, please take a rest. We will go back to work." Zhanmi said respectfully.

"Go."

Sheng Jiale waved his hand.

After they left, Sheng Jiale poured himself a glass of red wine, stood in front of the French window, and looked at the scene outside which had begun to take on the scale of a big city. He couldn't help but sigh that things were changing with each passing day.

Sheng Jiale knew that within a few years, countless skyscrapers would spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and Shenzhen would gradually become one of the largest metropolises and economic centers in the mainland.

Early the next morning.

Sheng Jiale is eating in the restaurant.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Sheng Jiale looked puzzled, wondering who was looking for him so early.

The door opened and a tall, beautiful woman walked in.

The woman had long wavy hair, beautiful features, an oval face with fair skin, and a pair of beautiful eyes that were full of autumn water and extremely attractive.

"you are?"

Sheng Jiale looked at the woman in confusion, feeling that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

"Hello, Shengsheng, I am Brother Zhanmi's secretary."

"It turns out to be Jimmy's secretary."

Sheng Jiale nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

"Akira."

When he heard these two words, Sheng Jiale's eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered who Qiu Di was. It turned out that he was the character in the movie "Flash Point".

"What did Jimmy ask you to come over for?"

Sheng Jiale asked as he finished the food on his plate.

"He said that Shengsheng, you just arrived in Shenzhen, and asked me to come and accompany you to have a good stroll around the city." Qiu Di said.

Sheng Jiale nodded slightly and said, "I see. Have you eaten? If not, sit down and eat together."

The breakfast portion was huge, and Sheng Jiale ordered four servings. He had just finished two, and there was another portion left untouched.

"No need, Shengsheng, I've already eaten before I came here." Qiu Di waved his hand and sat down on the sofa beside him.

However, Sheng Jiale saw clearly that although Qiu Di refused verbally, his throat moved obviously, and he obviously wanted to eat.

Most of the time, people refuse because they feel reserved when meeting someone for the first time.

Thinking of this, Sheng Jiale smiled and said, "I haven't touched this portion. I'm also full now. Please help me finish it. Otherwise, it will be a waste."

"Isn't this bad?"

Qiu Di was somewhat tempted, but still did not stand up.

"What's wrong with that? Wasting food is the worst thing. I hate wasting food the most."

Sheng Jiale said, placing the plate in front of Qiu Di, “Zhanmi is your boss, and I am Zhanmi’s boss.

What, the boss's words don't work? Huh? "

Qiu Di had no choice but to pick up the knife and fork, "Then I won't be polite."

After taking the first bite of food, Qiu Di also let go of her reserve. She was told by Zhanmi yesterday to accompany Sheng Jiale well, so she got up early and ran over without even having breakfast. She could have endured it, but she didn't expect to run into Sheng Jiale eating breakfast.

"Looking at you, you don't look like you've eaten." Sheng Jiale joked.

Qiu Di's face turned red, but with his mouth full of food, he lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

Sheng Jiale opened a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for Qiu Di and himself.

"Thank you Shengsheng."

Qiu Di said vaguely, then picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Sheng Jiale sat at the dining table, tasting red wine and looking at Qiu Di.

I have to say that good-looking people look pleasing to the eye in everything they do. Even if they are just simply eating, they look very charming. Otherwise, how can we say that beauty is a feast to the eyes?

After finishing the meal, Sheng Jiale asked, "What fun places are there in Shenzhen?"

Qiu Di wiped his lips and said, "There are many fun places. With the recent economic development, many scenic spots have been developed in the surrounding areas."

"Okay, then you take me around."

Sheng Jiale put on his suit and said to Qiu Di.

"Yes."

Qiu Di nodded, looked at Sheng Jiale and noticed something, then stepped forward and said, "Sheng Sheng, wait a moment."

"what happened?"

Qiu Di stretched out her delicate hands to help Sheng Jiale straighten his tie, "Your tie is a little crooked."

"You are very attentive."

Sheng Jiale smiled slightly and left the hotel with Qiu Di.

"Can you drive?" Sheng Jiale asked.

Qiu Di nodded.

"Okay, then you be the driver and take me to wherever there's fun." Sheng Jiale said as he sat in the passenger seat.

"no problem."

Qiu Di drove and took Sheng Jiale around Shenzhen, visiting all the tourist attractions and entertainment venues.

Sheng Jiale also discovered that although Shenzhen is not as good as Hong Kong Island, Haojing and other places, it has developed well and has a hint of its previous life.

"It looks like it will really take off soon." Sheng Jiale said silently in his heart.

It was already afternoon, and the two of them walked around for most of the day before returning to the hotel to rest.

Qiu Di sat on the sofa, looking very tired.

Sheng Jiale looked at her, and an idea came to his mind.

After spending a day together, Sheng Jiale felt that Qiu Di was very dedicated and conscientious, and she was also very beautiful.

"Qiu Di, you did a good job today. Do you plan to work somewhere else?"

"Change place? Shengsheng, what do you mean?"

Qiu Ti asked.

"Would you like to follow me to Hong Kong Island?"

Sheng Jiale’s current secretary is Ruan Mei, but Ruan Mei is only good at handling daily matters, and her business ability is not as good.

If the Qiu Dike could be dug across, it would just fill in the gap in this area.

"Go to Hong Kong Island? It's so far." Qiu Di was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Sheng Jiale said, "It's a bit far, but I can compensate you. As long as you come with me, the salary will be five times what it is now."

"Five times. That's a lot."

When Qiu Di heard this, he was shocked.

Her salary was already quite high, far exceeding the current average wage in Shenzhen, and Sheng Jiale asked for five times as much.

"Shengsheng, I do."

Qiu Di said excitedly

People who come out to work definitely want to earn more money. With the salary five times higher, Qiu Di did not hesitate at all.

On Sheng Jiale's third day in Shenzhen, Liu Huaqiang came to visit with his younger brother Liu Huawen.

"Boss, let me introduce you, this is my brother Hua Wen."

After Liu Huaqiang finished speaking, he urged Liu Huawen, "Why don't you call Shengsheng?"

"Hello, Shengsheng."

Liu Huawen said respectfully, looking a little embarrassed. He was just a street thug before, and it was inevitable that he felt nervous when he suddenly faced a business tycoon like Sheng Jiale.

Especially before, he had heard Liu Huaqiang mention Sheng Jiale more than once, and knew what Sheng Jiale's status was in Hong Kong Island.

"Chinese, right? Sit down."

Sheng Jiale glanced at Liu Huawen indifferently, nodded and said.

He didn't know much about Liu Huawen, and there was no specific description of Liu Huawen in the film and television.

However, Sheng Jiale recalled that in the original plot, after Liu Huaqiang fell, Liu Huawen seemed to open a freight station and ran it prosperously.

"Huaqiang, why did you come to me today?" Sheng Jiale asked.

"Haha, nothing much. My brother heard that you were coming to Shencheng, so he insisted that I bring him over to visit you."

Liu Huaqiang laughed, then picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Sheng Jiale, and said, "Boss, do you think my brother can work under you?"

Liu Huaqiang has worked under Sheng Jiale for quite some time and knows how Sheng Jiale treats his own people. It can be said that it is difficult to find another boss like Sheng Jiale.

Therefore, he also thought of getting his younger brother to Sheng Jiale's hands.

However, he didn't know that it was not easy to become Sheng Jiale's "own person", and he had to gain Sheng Jiale's absolute trust.

"Shengsheng, I have always been steady in doing things. No matter what you assign to me, I guarantee that I can do it beautifully." Liu Huawen also took the opportunity to say.

The two brothers stared at Sheng Jiale, waiting for his answer.

Sheng Jiale pondered for a moment and said, "Since he is your brother, Huaqiang, I understand your desire to find a way out for him.

How about this, I will invest in a freight station in Shenzhen, and Huawen will be in charge of it in the future."

Sheng Jiale decided to make use of Liu Huawen's expertise and give him a freight station to manage, which was also a way of giving Liu Huaqiang some face.

"Thank you boss."

When Liu Huaqiang heard that Shengjiale was going to invest in a freight station, he was overjoyed.

The freight station can be big or small, but since it is invested by Shengjiale, it cannot be a small scale.

Liu Huaqiang immediately pulled Liu Huawen and said, "Why don't you thank the boss?"

"Thank you Shengsheng."

Liu Huawen said respectfully, his eyes full of excitement. He didn't expect that just by being dragged over by his brother to visit Sheng Jiale, he would get such a great reward.

However, Liu Huawen thought about it and understood that Sheng Jiale probably gave him such good treatment because of his brother's face.

"Okay, I'll leave the freight station to you. You have to pay more attention to it in the future. My money didn't come from the wind." Sheng Jiale said casually.

"Don't worry, Shengsheng. I will do my duty and run the freight station well."

Liu Huawen's expression straightened and he spoke seriously.

Sheng Jiale nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"If you have nothing else to do, go ahead and get busy." Sheng Jiale waved his hand.

But Liu Huaqiang did not leave, but said: "Boss, I have one more thing."

"explain."

"I thought about it yesterday and came up with an idea. Nightclubs and the like are saturated now, but other types of entertainment venues still have a huge market."

"for example?"

"I think the video game business is good." Liu Huaqiang said: "When I was in Hengcheng, I helped others to look after the place, and those video game stores made a lot of money every day.

Besides, Hengcheng's economy was underdeveloped at that time. If we opened a store in Shenzhen and expanded the scale a little, we would definitely make money."

After hearing this, Sheng Jiale laughed and said, "Whether the video game store makes money or not, you know it clearly without me telling you."

He has worked with Zhou Chaoxian more than once and has opened a large number of video game stores in Hong Kong Island and Taiwan, so he has no doubts about the profitability of video game stores.

"Boss, why don't you open a few video game stores and give it a try?" (End of this chapter)
