The meeting was set at Ma Lei's Hong Kong headquarters. As early as two years ago, he had built a floor in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, and it was also branded by the Weining Group. No matter how you look at it, it can be regarded as a serious company.
It was naturally Ma Qiang who came downstairs to greet him. This guy didn't look like a serious receptionist. He was hooked away by Chen Yuanming's car at a glance.
"This car is a crane," Ma Qiang turned around the car excitedly for several times, and Ma Qiang couldn't put it down. Why haven't I seen it on the market!"
Chen Yuanming got out of the car and couldn't help laughing when he saw the other party's expression, "The new Land Rover may not be available in Hong Kong yet. Since Brother Qiang likes it, why don't I go back and send you one?"
"Whoops!" Ma Qiang was overjoyed, and patted Chen Yuanming's shoulder, "It's okay! I want this black one too! Brother, it's not what I said, you have such a high taste for beautiful cars, Why can't you pick a horse, hehe~~ If I hadn't stuffed the rabbit for you last time, would you be able to taste it? Well, my brother's pick is not bad, right?"
Chen Yuanming smiled subtly, neither admitting nor denying, Ma Qiang's character, if you add fuel to him, you can get angry directly. This time I can find a little white rabbit. Next time I may find other things, or Stop fussing.
Glancing at the indifference on Boss Chen's face, Ma Qiang rolled his eyes and smirked twice, "But brother, you're so easy on your hands, you just threw 20,000 yuan in one night, what a great service. Come home. If it weren't for my brother, I really don't like this, and I would have to be a brother-in-law once... cough~~"
Realizing that he seemed to be a little carried away, Ma Qiang coughed dryly and reluctantly changed the topic again, "Today, eldest brother can speak, after the conversation, have a good time, don't keep up with the two times and make it unhappy. I booked for the evening. The suite in Chinatown is a rare opportunity, don't rush home, it's boring to be alone."
The so-called "China Town" naturally refers to the China Town nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui East. From the 1980s to before the handover, it was the heyday of Hong Kong nightclubs. China Town was basically the favorite entertainment place for celebrities, not to mention the stars, the rich, and even the king of Kazakhstan once visited to experience the "a Town" style. When night falls, there is a sea of people there. If there is no status, it is estimated that the private room may not be able to be lined up. To be able to book a private room in Chinatown at this time of year, I think it took a lot of effort, and it was full of sincerity.
Knowing too well the doorway here, Chen Yuanming smiled indifferently, "As long as Brother Qiang doesn't give another 'surprise', I will naturally be happy to accompany you."
"Hahaha, see what my brother said, brother, am I such an unreliable person!"
Talking and laughing freely, the two walked into the elevator of the office building together.
Although it only occupies one floor, the decoration of Weining Headquarters is quite luxurious and formal, with the style of some large international companies. According to Ma Qiang, this decoration was designed by celebrities, and it cost a lot of money, but the benefits are quite obvious. No matter who you talk to about business, you will not lose face. Ma Lei is very clear on this, and he will not be stingy with the money he should spend.
Therefore, when approaching Ma Lei's chairman's office, Chen Yuanming's first sentence was praise, "Brother Ma has a good vision and courage, and the headquarters is well repaired."
"Brother, this is a poor man." Ma Lei greeted him with a smile, "I have also seen Feiyan in Hefei's main factory, and that's called generous and bold, how can this rented floor be compared to that? ."
Ma Qiang said crookedly from the back, "That's right, in this regard, it's still the best in mainland China! I can't spend a million to build a two-story, 20-room mansion at home, but it takes tens of millions to buy a 100-square-meter house in Hong Kong." Mansion', this broken place like a pigeon coop, suffocates a person to death!"
The two ignored Ma Qiang's complaints, and walked into the room talking and laughing together. When they entered the room, Chen Yuanming found that there was still a person standing in the room. He was about 30 years old, and his appearance was very ordinary. Wearing a large suit on the back, he looks like a farmer entrepreneur. He paused, "Who is this?"
"Haha, Asong, come here." Ma Lei waved with a smile, "This is the son of my distant cousin's family, named Li Song. Back then, when he went to sea trade, he was responsible for handling deliveries. He is also a veteran of the company.”
The words were vague, but Chen Yuanming heard it right away. Back then, Ma Lei's smuggling team had a very careful division of labor. There were two large areas in the inner and outer circles. It is the real core, and the Ma brothers are responsible for scheduling in the middle. In the early years, the core members of this kind of underworld gang were often either distant relatives or close neighbors, and they paid attention to their origins. Just like the famous Guangzhou Gang and Fujian Gang at that time, they could not enter the innermost circle unless they were locals.
This Li Song is Ma Lei's relative and the steward responsible for the delivery. He should have a high status in the gang. Now that he is willing to let him come to see him, Ma Lei is really ready to talk about business in a down-to-earth manner.
In the blink of an eye, I understood the whole story, and the smile on the corner of Chen Yuanming's mouth deepened, "It turned out to be President Li."
"You don't need to be so polite, just call me Asong." Li Song smiled honestly, "It's all my own, and my uncle has told me a lot about Boss Chen's deeds. I only know now that seeing it is better than seeing it."
The words were slick, but it didn't quite fit with his simple appearance. Chen Yuanming smiled and didn't care. Of course, the person who can make Ma Lei a right-hand man will not be a real fool. A few words passed, and the four of them sat on the sofa casually. This time, there was no more idle chatter. Ma Lei simply cut to the point.
"Brother Chen, this time I called Asong here to give you a clue." Having lit the cigarette, Ma Lei waved his hand lightly and drove out the female secretary who was serving tea and pouring water. "You were not an outsider in the case of the sea trade back then, and you probably knew it. There were originally two boats of people in Asong, more than 50 people. They are all good guys who can work hard. After the business in Zhuhai was closed, I came with me. In Hong Kong, I had some free time at the beginning, and I followed Qiangzi to make movies and became familiar with the local customs and customs. Later, the bulk market in Yongyuan opened up a stall, so he brought his buddies over to help, and these two years are counted. Traveling south and north, I have some knowledge."
In just a few words, the matter was made clear. Chen Yuanming nodded lightly, this Li Song is probably Ma Lei's dark line, Yongyuan's bulk market is no better than Weining's home appliance chain, and the pirated sales market is always full of hills, no one can tell how many origins there are Unknown sellers need to have a good relationship with the local government. The relationship between people is probably more important than opening a serious store. This Li Song can support the stall in two or three years. It is indeed a talent.
Li Song smiled, "Uncle Biao said where did he go, he just started fighting from below. Thanks to seeing Boss Chen's handwriting this time, I realized that there are people outside people, there are gods outside the sky."
"Don't say these polite words." Chen Yuanming reached out his hand to stop the other party's praise, "Then you are responsible for the export now?"
"Well." Li Song nodded, "Now the goods have begun to go to Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. The four little dragons are relatively strict, and everyone is not easy to do business. It is better for the four little tigers to develop their economy. That's right, the petty citizens have a lot of spare money on hand, and it is easy to do business."
The so-called Four Asian Tigers naturally refer to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea, which belong to the front line of development in Southeast Asia. However, because the economic system is relatively strict, and because it is a place with strict regulations such as Singapore, it is not easy to get involved in smuggling trade.
As for Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand as mentioned by Li Song, they have been called the Four Little Tigers of Asia in the past two years. The economy has also made rapid progress. Coupled with the chaos of the policy system, it is basically like a free trade market. It is suitable for trading in troubled waters. However, their prosperity did not end until 1997. The Asian financial crisis has hurt the vitality of these four dragons and four tigers. Coupled with the rise of China, the real dragon, those little dragons and tigers will no longer have the chance to jump. .
Chen Yuanming nodded, "It's best to sell a long way, but we still have to go a long way and think for the long term."
"Oh?" Ma Lei raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just entering the Southeast Asian market, you are thinking of developing other routes? You are not very optimistic about the future development of Southeast Asia?"
"Well, running too fast, the foundation is unstable, and one day I will fall." Chen Yuanming didn't hide it either. After the end of the Taiwan Strait crisis, it will be Southeast Asia's turn to be robbed. It is always right to plan early. "Anyway, we are in the CD player business. There are always more pirated CDs in the world than pirated CD players. As long as they can sell them, we are not afraid that our products will not be sold."
After exchanging glances with Li Song, Ma Lei slapped the soot on his hand, "But after staying in Hong Kong for a while, I really got to know the customs here. Those who are selling are not easy to get along with."
This can be true. Underworld groups in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and even Russia have all been involved in the sale of pirated CDs. The profits are not lower than those of selling white powder from the Golden Triangle, and the crime is much lighter. ". Most of the people who control the pirated optical disc industry in the market today have their origins.
Chen Yuanming frowned slightly, "Brother Ma, is there any trouble?"
"I can't talk about trouble." Ma Lei pondered for a moment, "It's just that there are too many hills, and duckweeds like us from other places always lack confidence."
Speaking of which, there is no reason to understand. Chen Yuanming nodded, "It's natural for you to pull the strings. Isn't Brother Qiang going to set up an entertainment company recently? When it opens, I'll put up an air for Brother Qiang to support the scene."
Ma Qiang's eyes lit up, "Aiyo, that's good! Who can you invite?"
"Feiyan's relationship with Shaw Brothers is very good. Recently, I have had some exchanges with Sixth Uncle. He will be able to introduce some TVB and Shaw Brothers stars to me. This face will still be given to me."
This time, even Ma Lei's eyes lit up. Sir Shao's status in the Hong Kong film and television industry is beyond doubt. I didn't expect Chen Yuanming to invite such a big Buddha. It seems that the news of Feiyan's close relationship with Shaw is not a rumor. In the past two years, the Hong Kong film and television industry has also been working hard to clean up their gang-related elements. The return is imminent, and the previous cases of kidnapping and assassination have become less and less common. Everyone wants to go on the right path. Seniors like Sir Shao will of course be more being respected.
However, Chen Yuanming smiled and then said, "There are also mainland and Hollywood. Feiyan's resources are also good. If you are really determined to develop, Brother Qiang, you will have a bright future."
These words were loud, but Chen Yuanming's words were light and calm, and even Li Song, who had always used himself as a foil, was a little moved. The compliments when we met just now were nothing but casual words, but now he really felt the difference in this young man's pattern. I am still worrying about the development of Hong Kong Island here, and the family business of others has expanded to an unknown extent. It's not an order of magnitude at all, how do you compare
"Also, Feiyan is the only one in the family now, is there still a lack of such resources?" Ma Lei laughed, reached out and patted his brother's shoulder, "Qianzi, Yuanming has high hopes for you, don't you? Shame on brother!"
At this moment, Ma Qiang smirked, "I don't dare to say anything else, I still know how good or bad the film is, just watch it, our Ma family entertainment company can't lose to a big guy like Jiahe!"
Chen Yuanming also laughed, choosing Ma Brothers instead of other second- or third-tier companies under Feiyan, he still had his ideas. The Hong Kong entertainment industry is not a clear water. Instead of cultivating a person to adapt to its existence, it is better to find a person who is originally on this path and enter the state as soon as possible. These two years can be regarded as the season when well-known film companies of later generations appear together, and it can also be said to be the afterglow of the Hong Kong film industry. It has become the focus of today to swallow and digest these accumulated resources as soon as possible. I just hope that this investment will yield better returns.
With the success of the opening, a few people chatting more happily this time, the sky was already dark in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the nightlife to officially kick off. Without further refusal, Chen Yuanming and a few others drove to Tsim Sha Tsui East. Tsim Sha Tsui at night is full of colorful neon lights, and the front of the Chinatown nightclub is also full of people. After getting off the parking lot, several people walked along the VIP passage to the reserved box.
However, when he arrived at the place, before the waiter, Ma Qiang suddenly took a step forward and opened the door with a smile. Following his movements, the furnishings in the room could be seen at a glance. I saw that standing in the middle of the room were not the enchanting and lovely service ladies, but a boy who looked extremely tender and lovely.
After being stunned for a few seconds, the child quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Bosses have worked hard, please sit inside..."
Glancing at the familiar face, Chen Yuanming turned his head and looked at Ma Qiang, who was grinning evilly.
When he met his gaze, Ma Qiang blinked, "This isn't a 'surprise', is it? They all come out to drink flower wine. How could you be alone? If you don't like this one, why don't I change it for you?"
"Forget it." Chen Yuanming smiled self-deprecatingly and walked into the room first.
Behind him, Wen Wen clenched his fist nervously and quickly posted it.
