Chapter 128 The strange path of community development

changed!

"You can say that." Xian Yaowen nodded and continued: "There are not many freezing rooms in Hong Kong, and only Tianchu MSG's freezing rooms are rented out, and the supply is basically in short supply. In fact, there is a lot of knowledge in fruit refrigeration, and Tianchu's freezing rooms are not specifically for Fruits are made to be refrigerated. Once they are frozen inside, the taste of the fruits will change. But everyone does it this way, so there is no need to compare.

If there is a cold room in Hong Kong dedicated to refrigerating fruits, and it is divided into two parts, one part will control costs and be rented out, and the other part will keep improving at all costs to maintain the taste of the fruit as much as possible. "

Xian Yaowen raised his hand and made a slight movement, "The difference in taste may be just a tiny bit, but gourmets can still taste it. Just such a small difference can sell for several times the price.

Hey, the old Koehlers from Shanghai have a lot of money. The servants who buy food all drive Fords. Their life should not be too luxurious or too refined. As long as they have good things, they will not care about spending a little more money. Others have it, but we If we can provide the best that others don't have, we can supply it, and this business is worth doing. "

Liu Rongju took a heavy drag on his cigarette and said, "Xian Sheng, there are some things you may not be aware of. Nine out of ten people who first picked up food at the Yau Ma Tei fruit stall were Dongguan people. Even now, seven out of ten people are from Shilong and Jingshan. There are people from all towns and villages in Dongguan, which is also the origin of the names of Dongguan Street and Shilong Street.

The Tai Yik Lan boss you just mentioned is surnamed Zhang, Da Tou Zhang. I am very familiar with him. He came to Hong Kong in 1935 and worked in Kowloon Lan at first. Later he moved to Gong Chang Lan. During the Japanese occupation, the owner of Gong Chang Lan left Hong Kong. To avoid disaster, he handed over the shop to a shopkeeper to run it before leaving. He only retained a share of the shop. After the shopkeeper took over, it was renamed Dayiklan, but he still had to pay rent to the proprietor.

Da Touzhang is very capable. He bought out the shares of other employees bit by bit and is now the largest shareholder of Dayilan. "

"Liu Sheng, I understand what you want to express. You may not understand what I said. On the one hand, what I want to do is the business of the fruit stall owners. They are our customers and not competitors. On the other hand, I said The high-end fruit business requires careful selection from the source of goods and heavy investment in transportation. Whether it is the improvement of refrigeration facilities for sea transportation or the competition for speed in air transportation, large investments are required;

Zhong You, if you want to sell it at a high price, it is inevitable to package it. Fruits must be packaged, the store must be packaged, and even the clerks in the store must be packaged. They must be tall and handsome enough. It is best to look like a young man and be able to speak a little. Foreign language. "

Xian Yaowen took out his cigar scissors and cut off the end of the extinguished cigar, lit it again and took a puff, and continued to speak unhurriedly: "A very powerful economist has just appeared in the United States recently, named Peter De Luke, he proposed a concept of 'Contribution Value'. From my understanding, the concept he proposed is more suitable to be translated into added value.

When this concept is applied to our fruit business, it means the value that fruits can provide beyond the basic function of eating. For example, it is face-saving. Taking out our fruits to entertain guests is a very face-saving thing. Another example is face-saving. …”

Xian Yaowen wanted to say "emotional value", but when he thought about it, he only came into contact with this term when he was in college. It seems that this concept has not yet appeared. He has no interest in becoming an economist, so he is cautious about some words that are too ahead of the times. Click to speak out.

"Let's put it this way, a rich wife or aunt buys fruits for her husband in person. In addition to coaxing her husband, they can get a little extra good mood during the process of buying fruits, and they can get one or two compliments that make them feel comfortable. , a handsome guy who made them look good.

Women looking at pretty boys are the same as men looking at pretty girls. When we men see a pretty girl, although something may not happen, we will still feel very comfortable. The same is true the other way around. Look at it a few times and tease her a little bit. This is enough.

So, we need our guys to be good-looking and well-spoken, but we can’t let them be too bold and actually run away with their rich wife, which will ruin our reputation. "

Xian Yaowen flicked the ashes from his cigarette, looked at Liu Rongju's face and said with a smile, "How is it? Is this business successful?"

Liu Rongju nodded, "There is indeed something going on."

"Okay, let's make another appointment to talk about the division of labor and share distribution. Before that, I need a piece of information, the names of all the fruit fields in Hong Kong and the names of the proprietors. If there are multiple proprietors, each person's name I need all of them. I also need to know the address and the name of the proprietor of every fruit shop in Hong Kong. This information is very important to our business." "No problem, I will ask someone to take care of it as soon as possible."

"Uh-huh." Xian Yaowen looked towards the battlefield and said, "The green picking is over. Let's go over and have a fasting banquet and then watch the magic show."

"Okay."

Shen Gong Opera is a southern term, and it is also called Shen Opera in the north. Today's Shen Gong Opera is performed for the Queen of Heaven's Birthday, which is also the so-called temple fair opera. Ordinary troupes cannot sing this opera, but the troupe who can sing this opera is definitely extraordinary. .

There is a long-standing rule in the opera troupe: when you start singing, you must finish singing. No one is listening, but ghosts and gods are listening. Once the play starts, people come from all over the world to listen. One side is human, three sides are ghosts, and four sides are gods.

There is also a rule of oral transmission of temple fair plays. The first half is sung for people to listen to, and the second half is sung for ghosts and gods. The theater troupe will arrange two plays at most during rehearsals to make it easier for some more superstitious old people to watch the first one. Leave early after the game.

Xian Yaowen doesn't like this, but there are several houses in the group, large and small, he doesn't eat, but some people do. The magic show is an open-air performance, no one collects tickets, and there are no fixed seating areas. They are all nearby. Villagers bring their own benches in advance to reserve a seat. Wherever the bench is placed, the seat belongs to the owner of the bench during these days of singing.

Xian Yaowen and his party were all from outside the country. If they wanted to watch the show, they couldn't get seats. They could only stand on the side and watch. However, people did not want to stand, and insisted on spending money to buy seats from the villagers, and they had to buy seats in the middle and front, and there must be "popularity" on all sides.

The two of them were so persistent. Their husbands understood what they meant, and Xian Yaowen also understood. They both had children. There were some things that they would rather believe, but they had no choice. After a lot of trouble, they dug out a large space in the seating area. There were four floors of seats outside, with the innermost being children, then women, then Xian Yaowen and others, and the outermost being Liu Rongju’s younger brother and the public security guards who had followed but did not come to pick green leaves.

In fact, the play is not interesting. In order to suit the occasion, there are not many plays to choose from. Although Xian Yaowen is not a fan, when the actors came on the stage and looked at their makeup, they immediately guessed that they were singing "Eight Immortals Congratulations on Birthday", which is an old opera. He had never listened carefully, but he listened to it completely in business activities again and again.

"Brother Hong, I'm going to do a cotton-padded clothing business soon, and I'd like to invite you to do it together."

Hong Yingdong handed the young son in his arms to his wife, tilted his head and said to Xian Yaowen: "You know my situation, I can't afford much money now."

"Capital is not a problem. I will pay the big share, and Brother Hong can make whatever he wants. This business is somewhat profitable, but the profit won't be too big. It just has other additional benefits, which will help Brother Hong and I in our future business. If Brother Hong is interested, go to Shanjin Tower to have tea and talk slowly in the evening."

Then, he told Hong Yingdong about Shanjin Tower. Shanjin Tower opened in a hurry. The opening ceremony was neither grand nor invited guests. Hong Yingdong probably didn’t know that Shanjin Tower existed, let alone Shanjin Tower. It is the property of the Xian family.

"it is good."

After watching the first half of the play, the group went to the Moon Garden in North Point, where a group of children had a great time. In the evening, they had a big meal to suit the children's tastes. When all the activities were over and everyone left, Xian Yaowen and Hong Yingdong sat in the elegant room of Shan Jin Building.
