Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 146 Pedestrian Street

"One bath center, three massage parlors, one nightclub, two KTVs, three bars, and a total of twelve restaurants of various kinds. That's it for the time being."

Lin Daoqiu invested 700 million yuan, plus A Dong's 500 million yuan, and chose the best location in Heyi's hands to open what he called a pedestrian street.

In addition to restaurants, other entertainment venues, such as bath centers, massage parlors and bars, are all wholly owned by Lin Daoqiu and Heyi.

After all, these are the most lucrative businesses, so Lin Daoqiu will naturally not hand them over to others.

The project has just started, and half of the 2000 million yuan in [-] has already been spent. The entire street is being renovated, and it looks very lively.

A Dong and his men knew nothing about these things, so Lin Daoqiu hired a man named Xu Enzhong to take charge of the whole project.

"The bars should be connected together and don't need to be separated. For those restaurants, let them choose places on the streets and alleys. As for KTVs and nightclubs, they should be farther away."

Xu Enzhong followed Lin Daoqiu, and he would quickly write down what the other party said in his notebook.

The Southeast brothers didn't understand these at all, and couldn't get in the way from the beginning to the end, so the two of them could only follow behind silently.

"The decoration of the bath center and massage shop should be clear and generous, mainly in golden tones, and the rest area should be larger. Don't let the guests feel depressed, and let them feel very relaxed as soon as they enter."

Xu Enzhong probably only half understood Lin Daoqiu's request, after all, he had never heard of these requests before.

However, his team was hired by Lin Daoqiu with a high salary of 30 yuan. If the other party said it, he would do his best to meet the other party's requirements.

After Lin Daoqiu finished his request, Xu Enzhong took his people to refine Lin Daoqiu's request to ensure that there would be no problems in implementing it.

"Mr. Lin, we spent tens of millions at the beginning, and now we only have more than 1000 million in our hands. I'm afraid we won't be able to support it in the end."

Although A Dong knew nothing about these investments, he was shocked by the speed at which the money in his hand disappeared.

The decoration has just started, and half of the money has already been spent. What should I do if I have spent all the money and the decoration of the store has not been completed?
For A Dong's worry, Lin Daoqiu just smiled, and then pointed to the stores that were being renovated.

"In your eyes, what do you think these things look like?"

Asked by Lin Daoqiu, A Dong turned his head and looked at the stores that were being renovated, but there was nothing that could emerge in his mind.

After all, those storefronts haven't been renovated yet, and there's nothing special about them at all. What can this look like?
"To me, these storefronts are like money printing machines that are being assembled now and once they are assembled, they will start printing money for us."

Lin Daoqiu's metaphor left the Dongnan brothers speechless. They couldn't tell from looking horizontally or vertically that there was something like a money printing machine in these stores that were being renovated.

"By the way, have you ever seen a money printing machine?"

Lin Daoqiu suddenly turned his head to look at Brother Southeast and asked.

The two shook their heads immediately, not to mention them, even ordinary people probably haven't seen what the captain of the money printing machine looks like.

"Did Mr. Lin see it?"

A Dong was a little surprised, he thought Lin Daoqiu had seen the money printing machine.

But unexpectedly, Lin Daoqiu shook his head.

In fact, he has seen a lot of TV and movies in later generations, but he will not say such things.

"As for the money issue, you don't need to worry. There are so many discerning businessmen in Xiangjiang, I believe someone will come to find them."

In the end, Lin Daoqiu did not find anyone to participate in the investment of this project. He didn't like the feeling of asking for help.

Originally, his original idea was to open two or three pedestrian streets like this.

But because of insufficient funds, Lin Daoqiu simply opened one first, and continued to do so when he had money later.

I believe that as long as it takes about half a year to operate, the funds invested now can be recovered. After all, there is no such concept of pedestrian streets in the entire Greater China region.

As Hong Kong's economy continues to grow, ordinary people will only have more and more. Whoever can provide more leisure and entertainment methods can make more money.

"Has the person been chosen?"

What Lin Daoqiu asked was the person who would be responsible for guarding the street in the future.

"I have carefully selected 300 people from Heyili to Anan, and he will be in charge of this street in the future."

Adong, as Heyi's sitting hall, couldn't leave at all. After all, Heyi still had a lot of things to deal with, so he handed over this street to Anan to manage.

Lin Daoqiu was very satisfied with Ah Dong's decision. Although Anan was usually silent, he was absolutely not sloppy in doing things. It was the best choice for him to manage this street.

"At that time, I will order a set of uniforms for them, and tell them that they will no longer be gangsters in the future, but the property managers here. If they can't do it, they will be replaced immediately."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I've already told them that this is a legitimate job. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will never spare them lightly."

Anan has heard Lin Daoqiu mention this matter more than once, which shows that the other party attaches great importance to it.

So naturally he didn't dare to be sloppy. When the 300 people were assigned to him, he told them more than once.

In the past, these people would probably not be willing to come here to do things. After all, they could collect money while sitting, and their lives were very comfortable.

But when Heyi was hit hard by the police, the previous sitting hall and many important people were arrested.

Moreover, the venue has been swept away several times recently, and there is no business to do at all. They are already clinking poor.

Being so closely watched by the police made many people fearful and even very confused about the future.

Now suddenly there is such a good opportunity to have a legitimate job and earn no less money than before, so naturally they will not object.

"I will stay in Treasure Island for a few more months, and I will leave it to you to take full responsibility here. Xu Enzhong is a good person, and he should be able to fulfill all the requirements I asked. Listen to his opinions when you encounter problems. "

Lin Daoqiu was worried that the Dongnan brothers thought highly of themselves, and they would command blindly when he was not there, which would only mess up the plan of this pedestrian street, so he had to remind these two guys.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry. Mr. Xu is a professional. We will do what he says. If there is anything that cannot be solved by then, we will notify you immediately."

Although Lin Daoqiu was filming in Baodao, he was not locked up, and they could still communicate at any time.
