"Sheng Zhang, your CFC restaurant has been doing quite a lot recently. Four stores in Kowloon have been opened at the same time. Congratulations on your financial success."
Brother Lak looked at Zhang Zhonghua who was sitting across from him, and thought about how his cfc restaurant was in full swing. He really got a little jealous.
This community conflict in Kowloon actually helped CFC Restaurant, which gave CFC Restaurant the opportunity to aggressively enter the Kowloon area and open four stores at once.
Once these four stores open, the monthly profit of CFC Restaurant will probably exceed two million. And from what he has learned so far, the so-called old British and American bosses behind CFC Restaurant are nothing more than
The shield that Zhang Zhonghua used when he was weak was used to reduce unnecessary troubles.
Although Brother Lak is very enthusiastic about Zhang Zhonghua's CFC restaurant, he is still a bit cautious. After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, so you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Moreover, he thought about his plan and there was no need to add extraneous details. In the end, he could only suppress the greed in his heart.
"We are all happy together. Compared with Brother Lak, I am just making a small fuss. Besides, CFC is our own brand in Hong Kong Island. Killing foreign brands is also bringing glory to Hong Kong Island.
Moreover, our CFC restaurant also plans to expand beyond Hong Kong Island, from Northeast Asia to Southeast Asia and finally to Europe and the United States. By then, we in Hong Kong Island will also have our own catering brand facing the world."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
"You are right. Those Western food restaurants in our Hong Kong Island always feel that they are superior to others. If CFC can kill them, it will also give us Hong Kong Islanders a chance to let them know who is the real master of Hong Kong Island."
Brother Lak praised Zhang Zhonghua after hearing what he said.
"Brother K, I wonder why you came to see me today?"
After talking nonsense, Brother K asked the reason why he came to him today.
"No, this is what you want."
When Brother Lak heard what Zhang Zhonghua said, he didn't say much and just threw him a paper bag.
The paper bag that Brother K threw over, you can roughly understand what it is after thinking about it for a moment.
When he took out the contents of the bag and took a look, it was as he expected. It was the business license of the security company and twenty gun licenses in the name of the security company.
"Brother K, I'm really troubling you!"
Although these things cost money, Brother K expressed his gratitude. Whether it is the business license of a security company or a gun license, it is difficult to obtain it. The review of gun licenses is very strict everywhere.
Um!
Except for certain countries!
"You're welcome. Just don't forget to give me the handling fee. I've put in a lot of effort to help with this."
Brother Lak waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that Zhang Zhonghua could leave.
"Brother Lak, don't worry. You can owe money to anyone on Hong Kong Island. Brother K, no one dares to owe you money!"
After thanking Brother Lak profusely, Zhang Zhonghua left the Central Police Station with satisfaction.
…
…
Soon CFC Kowloon's four branches opened at the same time. The four stores are all in the most prosperous areas of Kowloon. Each store has a daily profit of more than 4,000 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the profits here are incomparable with several stores on the island.
After all, this is the Kowloon area, and its spending power and the flow of people are far inferior to those of Causeway Bay, let alone the Central Ring Road.
Most people in the Kowloon area regard CFC restaurants as luxury goods. Although the prices are much lower than several restaurants on the island, those who can come there once or twice a week are considered rich.
It is also within Zhang Zhonghua's opinion that such profits can be made in Kowloon.
…
…
After various restaurants were on track, on Labor Day, May 1, Zhang Zhonghua took Zheng Juan to the Tin Shui Wai area in the New Territories.
Take the Star Ferry from Central to Tuen Mun, then take a small fishing boat from nearby fishermen to Tuen Mun, and then take a small rickshaw to the Tin Shui Wai area.
What they saw along the way was an extremely dilapidated scene. It was a completely different world from the main island and even the Kowloon area. Hong Kong Island was lined with high-rise buildings filled with white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes, but the Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun areas were filled with ragged fishermen.
I paddle a small old fishing boat and go fishing early in the morning and return late in the evening.
Hong Kong Island is originally a coastal city, and there is no shortage of seafood. The boats used by fishermen to go fishing are also very small. In addition to eating the fish themselves, they can only sell it to earn a meager living expenses. The children at home are a little older.
I went fishing with my parents.
As for going to school?
The extremely high tuition fees on Hong Kong Island, not to mention these fishermen and ordinary citizens, even the white-collar workers working in Central have to grit their teeth to send their children to school. It is considered good that the children of these fishermen can read, but Hong Kong Island still needs to pass
Free basic education has only been available for a few years.
"Boss, what's it like in the mainland?"
Zheng Juan asked curiously, although Zhang Zhonghua claimed to be from Singapore, after he established himself in Hong Kong Island, his origins were no longer concealed from the core members of the company.
"Actually, the mainland is pretty much the same as here. The cities are a little better, and the countryside is about the same, but there may be more free basic education."
Zhang Zhonghua said to Zheng Juan with some emotion.
The situation in China is not like this. Several big cities, including the Forty-Nine Cities, are fine, but outside the cities it is all rural areas, and farmers can't make a few cents from working every day.
"Aren't many Chinese businessmen on Hong Kong Island coming from the Mainland? The Chartered Ship King and the Dong Ship King are all famous tycoons in Hong Kong Island. The Mainland is really full of talents."
Zheng Juan sighed sincerely.
The charter king's name was Bao Yugang. On November 10, 1918, Bao Yugang was born in a small businessman family in Ningbo, Zhejiang. His father, Bao Zhaolong, was a businessman and did business in Hankou all year round. Although he was busy with affairs, he was very devoted to his children.
Strict. Since his family was relatively wealthy, he decided to let his children receive the best local education.
Ningbo is located on the coast of the East China Sea and is the largest port city in ZJ Province. It was one of the "five ports for trade" after the Opium War. It has a long commercial tradition and formed the Ningbo Gang, a famous business gang in history.
When he was 13 years old, the chartering king went to Shanghai to study and learned shipbuilding. Later, he went against his father's wishes and did not go to university for further studies, but instead worked in a bank.
In early 1949, the charter boat king and his father took hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings to Hong Kong Island to start a new career in the world.
Especially last year, we took the opportunity to expand our fleet and developed into a generation of Hong Kong Island tycoons through unremitting efforts and outstanding insights."
Who among the Chinese in Southeast Asia does not admire the king of chartered ships? Ningbo people are so tough. In the early days of reform and opening up, they all went out to start small barter businesses, and among them they became countless business tycoons.
Speaking of charter kings, Zhang Zhonghua thought of another elder, Mr. Huo, who can be called a role model.
"The Charter King only has four daughters now. I don't know who will benefit from the Charter King's wealth."
Zheng Juan said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
"The life and deeds of the Charter King will also be written into the history of Hong Kong Island. It can be regarded as a generation of legendary figures who have achieved fame."
Zhang Zhonghua said with some envy.
Why do everyone care about other people's property? It's so vulgar.
In the future, there will be a lot of fights between Hong Kong's wealthy families for their property. After the death of the Aomen family, the daughters of several houses were fiercely fighting over each other. The children of the Huo family eventually went to court.
"Tian Shuiwei is really backward today. Can you tell us about the situation here?"
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Tin Shui Wai was originally a fishing pond. It is bounded by Ping Shan to the south, Wang Ting Village and Mai Po Nature Reserve to the north, Ha Tsuen and Ha Mei Sun Village to the west, and Fung Ka Wai and Tung Tau Village to the east. It is about 25 minutes from the Central City.
kilometer.
It is surrounded by hills and has inconvenient transportation. People here basically can't get out. The Hong Kong government probably won't plan this place yet. Most of the land is in the hands of the villagers here, and one foot only costs a little more than 1 Hong Kong dollar.
However, there is a lack of water and electricity here, so if we set up a factory, it will definitely not work, but we can still build a breeding farm here. The demand for water and electricity in the breeding farm is relatively low."
Zheng Juan looked at Tin Shui Wai in front of her and felt very sad. She only knew that Tin Shui Wai was poor, but she thought that it was so poor. This was her first time in the New Territories. Not to mention building factories, water and electricity, transportation was a big problem.
"Where is the most suitable location to build a breeding farm?" Zhang Zhonghua asked.
It’s no wonder developers don’t develop this place because it’s so backward. If the Hong Kong Governor’s Government doesn’t solve the traffic problem here, developers on Hong Kong Island will definitely not develop it. Isn’t this unhealthy?
"Heng Hau Village is more suitable. It is close to the bay and can be used for shipping. However, it is very difficult to build a pier."
Zheng Juan said.
“How can we build a small marina here?”
Across the sea from here is Bao'an, which is also an important escape area. We don't have the ability to build a dock.
"It should be difficult, but if the wharf is built and our farms are built, it will also provide a large number of jobs for the villagers here, and let the villagers take on the responsibility of transportation. The Hong Kong government can't say anything. But we can't do it ourselves, we have to let others
The villagers here are going to make trouble."
"What if we leave it to a transportation company?"
"Ordinary transportation companies also look down on our small business. Of course, if we leave Hong Kong Island, we can barely transport it outside. In fact, we can also find those associations to transport it."
Zheng Juan said to Zhang Zhonghua carefully.
"Let's build the breeding farm first. Our demand is getting bigger and bigger now, and the demand will be bigger and bigger after we leave Hong Kong Island next year. We can talk about the terminal and transportation later."
Zhang Zhonghua thought for a while and then said, "There must be a road for cars to reach the mountain, and for boats to reach the bridge, it will be straight. How can a living person be suffocated to death?"
The two walked for a long time before arriving at Hang Hau Village. The poverty and backwardness here made it difficult for them to imagine that this was actually Hong Kong Island.
As soon as the two walked to the village office, they saw a 50-year-old man repairing a fishing net in the courtyard. It seemed that he had just returned from going to sea in the morning.
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
The uncle looked at Zhang Zhonghua and Zheng Juan curiously, wondering where these young people came from and how they came to Hangkou Village, a place where birds can't shit. Most of the outsiders who appeared here came by swimming. These two people must have come here.
Coming from the city, after all, the clothes he wore made him look like he was either rich or expensive.
"Hello, uncle, I am Zhang Zhonghua, and this is Zheng Juan. We would like to find the person in charge of our village. There are some things that need to be discussed."
"I am Wang Weisheng, the village chief of Hangkou Village. If you have anything, you can tell me directly."
When Wang Weisheng heard that Zhang Zhonghua and the others came to see him, he put down his work and stood up and asked.
"Hello, Village Chief Wang, we are the person in charge of a restaurant, and the demand for chicken is increasing. After research, we decided to find a place to build a factory and raise our own chickens.
We think the environment here is quite suitable, so we came over to see what the situation is like."
Zhang Zhonghua gave a simple explanation and was very polite. Don't think that the village chief is not a cadre. He can ruin his plans with just one sentence.
"How many chickens can you use in a day and you still need to build a chicken farm?"
Wang Weisheng asked with a curious smile.
"We now need to purchase about 10,000 chickens every day including the restaurants that need to be opened later, so the scale of the chicken farm must not be small."
Zheng Juan explained.
"Oh, so the scale is really quite big. What do you have your eyes on?"
Tens of thousands of chickens need to be purchased every day, so the breeding scale must be at least hundreds of thousands. Tianshuiwei is a place with inconvenient transportation, so workers must be recruited from nearby. Hundreds of thousands of chickens will require hundreds of workers at least, which is good.
Wang Weisheng felt happy when he thought of this.
"I think the area near Lau Fau Shan has good ventilation and is very suitable for farming."
Zhang Zhonghua replied.
First of all, you have to stay away from the village. The smell of the chicken farm is not small, and raising chickens is a technical job. If there is a plague, it will be cold. It is easy to catch the disease from people coming and going. If you are infected with chicken plague, it will be in vain.
.
"Over there? There's no problem over there. The land is in the hands of the villagers in our village. Are you going to buy it or rent it?"
How much does this crappy place cost per square foot? I’ve never rented land here, let alone sold it!
Wang Weisheng thought about it in his mind, and then said to Zhang Zhonghua.
"How do you sell the land here? How much does it cost per square foot?"
Zheng Juan asked Wang Weisheng.
"How much does this cost? I have to go back and have a meeting to discuss how much land do you need?"
Wang Weisheng asked with a smile.
"Between fifty to one hundred acres, of course, the bigger, the better."
The specific amount to buy will of course depend on the price quoted in the village. You will decide how much land to buy based on the situation. If it is too expensive, then buy it elsewhere. There is not much else in the New Territories, but there is a lot of land.
"You guys wait here for a while, I'll call the villagers to discuss it."
After saying this, Wang Weisheng hurriedly left the small courtyard.
According to this, he arranged for a meeting to be held with several village stewards and representatives of each household. It didn't take long for everyone to gather at the agreed upon location.
"Folks, we are here for a meeting this time. It's a great thing! Two people just came to me and said they wanted to buy land at Lau Fau Shan. They wanted to build a large chicken farm there!
The chicken farm covers an area of between 50 and 100 acres, and one acre of land is almost 7,000 square feet. We need to discuss the land sale price together."
Wang Weisheng saw that everyone was here, so he briefly explained the situation.
