March 14th is the death anniversary of Zhang Shaoping¡¯s parents. Prior to this, Michelle took a dusty flight back from the capital yesterday afternoon. In addition, Wang Jing volunteered to help buy flower baskets, paper money, and animals. What's even more rare is that Huo Zhenting and his wife actually took the time to accompany him. Zhang Shaoping would visit his parents¡¯ cemetery every three months to pull weeds and talk about his concerns. Many words that I dare not say can be poured out without any scruples to the empty tombstone. Those who are willing to attend the anniversary of his death are either on good terms with Zhang Shaoping, or have a close or ambiguous relationship with him. If they are neither, they are coming because of his reputation, to show favor to him or to ask for something from him. . No matter which kind or purpose, Zhang Shaoping is very grateful. This is the first death anniversary of Zhang¡¯s father and Zhang¡¯s mother, so it would be a good thing to be more lively and grand. ¡ The next day, Michelle hurriedly took the Hong Kong-Guangzhou through train to Suicheng, and took the same day¡¯s flight directly to the capital. Civil aviation in the Mainland has just started, so there are very few flights and air tickets are in short supply. In the past, flights from Suicheng to Beijing had to make a detour to Xi'an before arriving in Beijing. This shows how short civilian passenger planes are. So in order to get on the plane, Michelle didn't dare to stay in Hong Kong longer and left in a hurry. ???????¡ ¡°Mr. Chen, please take a seat.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Zhang Shaoping and Chen Huimin said politely and sat down respectively. As soon as Chen Huimin sat down, he asked curiously: "Zhang Sheng, to be honest, I never expected that you would invite me out! If I remember correctly, we have only met once, so we should have nothing in common, right?" Zhang Shaoping He smiled and said: "You are a big boss in the road, and my business involves the bar industry. I'm afraid it won't be safe if I don't pay you a favor." Chen Huimin is not an easy guy. He learned boxing from Tan Jia San Zhan since he was a child, and later he I practiced Western boxing. After that, he dropped out of school at the age of 17 and applied for the Hong Kong Disciplined Forces, hoping to become a police officer. However, because he was still a few months away from turning 18, he went to work as a prison guard in the Correctional Services Department. It was the darkest period in Hong Kong. There was no distinction between thieves and soldiers. Basically, they were the police during the day and gangs at night. When Chen Huimin was a prison guard, he had a very good relationship with his colleagues. When the gangster brother was imprisoned, he had to ask him to take care of him. He could endure less hardship in prison and enjoy various benefits, which earned Chen Huimin a lot. respect. Not long after working as a prison guard, Chen Huimin applied to become a police officer, and was later transferred to Kowloon to serve as a criminal detective. Chen Huimin, who was extremely competitive, was unwilling to be a policeman with a low salary, so he applied to be a member of the anti-drug team. You only need to pay 5,000 yuan to enter the anti-drug team. At that time, it was stipulated that the anti-drug team had to change a group of people every three months, but it could "earn" at least 15,000 yuan in these three months. At that time, there were many white noodle stalls on Haiphong Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, and the police station was a hundred meters away. The police allowed "taoist friends" to set up stalls here and collect "pink" for themselves ("distributing noodle" means paying bribes). Originally, this kind of income was quite good, but it was a pity that in 1967, Chen Huimin was discovered by the police as a gang member, so he retired. From then on, Chen Huimin began to work as a full-time gang member. With his good skills, he earned a double bonus of 14k. Kimberley Road in Tsim Sha Tsui was called "Chen Huimin Street". He has the final say on the nightclubs, taxis and nightclubs on the entire street. Anyone who wants to open a nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui needs his approval. Chen Huimin's "beating ability" is well-known in the streets and is known as "Li Xiaolong's feet and Chen Huimin's boxing". In 1970 and 1971, Chen Huimin represented Hong Kong twice in the Southeast Asian Boxing Championships and won two consecutive Southeast Asian Boxing Championships. At that time, Bruce Lee had just passed away, and the film industry was looking for people with real kung fu skills to act in fighting scenes. Therefore, Chen Huimin was spotted by the director of Shaw Brothers and asked to make a movie. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out out, Chen Huimin was not very interested in making movies. When he made Fan Ho's "Blood Love", his salary was only HK$3,000, which was only about one-tenth of his monthly income. But then the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, and 14k was severely cracked down. The income from attending theaters was greatly reduced, and the salary from making movies increased, so he simply became a full-time actor and made a lot of money. Although Chen Huimin still has contacts with people in the world, he has stopped being a "shantou" for a long time, so he laughed and said: "Zhang Sheng is joking. With these brothers around you, I don't dare to call you "Old Chen" Thank you! Besides, I¡¯m just an actor now, and I just make a living.¡± Chen Huimin has known Li Xiaolong since he was a child, and he has a deep understanding of the power of Jeet Kune Do. In addition, he is also a real martial artist and has killed people. When he was about to leave, he grabbed the white blade with his bare hands, but when he saw Chen Feihu, he felt a chill every time. He is someone who can fight, but Chen Feihu and others are definitely killers. They have killed many people, and they have a murderous aura. To be honest, he will win in a fight, but in a real confrontation, he will definitely die. Zhang Shaoping smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, are youYou are a cheerful person, and I will not beat around the bush with you. To put it bluntly, I want to open an international video rental chain company, and I have taken a fancy to Mr. Chen¡¯s connections in Hong Kong, so I want to cooperate with you in the rental business in Hong Kong, so that we can make money together. " Chen Huimin asked puzzledly: "What's the point of video rental? There are so few people with home video recorders now that they can't make much money at all. " "Don't worry about this. I have already thought of a solution. Please take a look at this plan. " Zhang Shaoping said, taking out a stack of paper from the briefcase next to him and handing it to Chen Huimin. In order to open up the video tape rental market, Zhang Shaoping racked his brains and designed a relatively mature plan with Yuan Tianfan, Hu Mufang and others. In the information explosion, In the 21st century, various telecom operators have come up with various methods, the most common of which is to use contract machines to bundle hardware and services, charge phone bills, and give away mobile phones or landlines. But in this time and space, Zhang Shaoping learned to use it. , prepare to adopt a membership system, pay a deposit first, sign a monthly guaranteed rental contract, and then distribute the video recorder for free. The benefits of this business method that only appeared in the next 20 years are very obvious. First, you can take advantage of the people's greed for petty gains and quickly open the video tape. The rental market is squeezing the market capacity of video recorders. People who buy video recorders will definitely use them. However, it costs almost 130 yuan to buy a video tape, and it only costs 8 or 9 yuan to rent a video tape. Of course, renting a video tape is a good deal. , why not sign a contract and get the video recorder for free? This principle is simple and easy to understand, just like the buy-one-get-one-free approach when Zhang Shaoping was engaged in foreign trade. It was all to capture the people's greed for petty gains. Secondly, with the cheap video hall. More and more video rental stores are popping up all over the streets. You must know that the threshold for the video rental industry is very low. You can invest tens of thousands of dollars and buy dozens of video tapes. You can find it anywhere, even on the street. The contract format adopted by Zhang Shaoping can completely tie up customers and prevent competitors from poaching them. At this time, the majority of video rentals have gradually shifted to ordinary people. Soon, Shaw Brothers will be able to open the business. , Golden Harvest, Xinyi City and other film and television institutions will discover this piece of cake, and then they will take advantage of blockbuster movies or asset movies to suppress all video rental stores. Therefore, when doing business, you have to think about the timing, sooner or later. No. Third, this method of pre-payment of deposits can withdraw funds as quickly as possible. In turn, the withdrawn funds can continue to be invested, just like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and eventually become a Behemoth. This business model has many benefits. Hasn¡¯t anyone thought of it? That¡¯s not the case. For example, the financial banking industry, large multinational institutions and corporate enterprises are among the best. For example, you are at Citibank in Hong Kong. After opening an account and depositing money, I took a flight to the United States and could immediately withdraw money from various Citibank branches. However, this model requires a huge investment and is not something ordinary merchants can do. To put it bluntly, it can be done at the Central branch. The membership card cannot be used at the Causeway Bay store. If it is not universal and it is inconvenient to swipe the card, the applicability and user stickiness of the package contract will be greatly reduced. To put it bluntly, the exchange of information is not fast enough, and future generations will be unable to use it. The reason for playing this casually is because Zhang Shaoping dares to play this way because he can rely on it to save time by purchasing computers and designing and developing programs. Secondly, he also opened a lot of Han and Tang clothing chain stores and accumulated a certain amount of experience. Thirdly, he has a logistics company, which can save a lot of freight. Fourth, he invested in a credit card machine connected to a computer to store data, and a data center to compile settlements. Chen Huimin quickly read the plan, and Zhang Shaoping asked: "How is it, do you think it is feasible?" This guy is capable of both civil and military skills. He is a rare person with both civil and military skills on the road. Zhang Shaoping does not dare to underestimate him. "The plan is very detailed and has a beginning." Chen Huimin raised his head and asked in confusion: "Zhang Sheng, you showed me the plan so generously, aren't you afraid that I will ditch you and go it alone?" Zhang Shaoping said calmly: "It's not that I underestimate the three hills on your road. You can't play with this thing." "Then I don't understand. Since the people on the road can't play with this, what's the use of you looking for me? ? Apart from knowing a few friends in the world and being good at filming, I don¡¯t seem to have anything to help you with, right?" Chen Huimin pulled on his tie and asked with a smile. ¡°The biggest fear in this industry is that someone will turn their backs and come to cause trouble!¡± The implication is to leverage Chen Huimin¡¯s influence on the road. Chen Huimin nodded and said: "I understand! Zhang Sheng, do you want me to say hello to my friends on the road?" Zhang Shaoping shook his head and said: "Why should I call you for such a simple matter? Let me tell you straight, you are from Hongfa Mountain (14k), you have a close relationship with the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan, and you are very popular in Southeast Asia. I need your help. I open up the market in these places. Of course, I will never treat people who work for me badly. You can take a job in my video rental company, and I will give you an annual salary of 2 million Hong Kong dollars. As long as the market does well, I promise you to increase it by 1 million every year. Of course, if you don¡¯t do well, you can only get 2 million.¡± Chen Huimin was shocked by the price offered by Zhang Shaoping. 2 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough. Less. Cheng Long's salary, excluding dividends, is just over 1 million. Xu Guanjie does have this price, but it's a pity that it's just an inflated price. Not many movies can afford him at this price. However, to Zhang Shaoping, Chen Huimin was worth the money. Just because of his relationship with the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi, Zhang Shaoping was willing to spend more money to get him on the chariot.
