Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 101 Guojun Technology
Just as they were getting into a lively conversation, a cough came from the side, followed by a clear and pleasant voice: "Mr. Chen, are you on the phone?"

Chen Jiajun immediately looked up and saw Lu Yongyu, the eldest daughter of the Lu family. She wore light makeup, carried a fruit basket, and wore the Piaget watch that Chen Jiajun had given her on her right wrist.

"I have to talk to you now, I'm very busy these days. I'll come and check your academic credentials later." Chen Jiajun hung up the phone quickly after saying that.

However, to Lu Yongyu, this was a sign of ambition.

Check academic credentials.

Just by listening to it, you can tell it's high-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated.

As expected, Brother Jun is different from the other big brothers!
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yongyu said shyly, "Mr. Chen, I graduated from Hong Kong University. You can come and check my academic credentials when you have time."

"Um, cough cough, I definitely will when I have time."

"Mr. Chen, were you just on the phone with your sister?"

Just now, Lu Yongyu heard a pleasant girl's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

The phrase "checking academic qualifications" is used by girls.

It must be the younger sister, right?

Lu Yongyu imagined everything: being the older brother who flaunted his wealth and friends, and working hard to earn money to support his younger sister's university education.

“Yes, yes, Miss Lu, what are you doing running around so late?” Chen Jiajun asked.

"Oh, this is fruit my dad asked me to bring you. Also, my dad asked when you plan to start work?"

Originally, his father, Uncle Tao, heard that Chen Jiajun was coming to Butterfly Bay today and asked Lu Yongyu to make a phone call to inquire. However, Lu Yongyu still brought fruit and came in person.

"Come here, I'll show you something good."

"what?"

Chen Jiajun led the curious Lu Yongyu to the arcade machine: "This is an arcade machine produced by our company."

As he turned on the switch, a screen as exquisite as a TV drama appeared: "This arcade machine has all kinds of games inside, and it will be our flagship product from now on."

The eldest daughter of the Lu family was immediately drawn to the exquisite game graphics.

"Come on, you play a few rounds."

"I don't know how to play, how do I operate it?"

"It's very simple, left side up, down, left and right, right side AABB..."

An hour later, under Chen Jiajun's guidance, the eldest daughter of the Lu family was completely filled with admiration.

In the 1980s, electronics were a high-tech industry in Hong Kong.

Brother Jun, who used to be a gangster, is actually involved in this field, and his products are even more high-end than theirs.

Chen Jiajun clapped his hands, puffed on his cigar, and said, "Once the production line is installed tomorrow, please invite Uncle Tao and Uncle Fa to come and cut the ribbon."

"Ok!"

Lu Yongyu nodded emphatically, a sweet smile on her face: "I'll tell my dad right away, he'll be so happy."

……

Luk Hon-tao, the top gangster in the New Territories, and Luk Wong-fat, the second-highest gangster in the New Territories, brought many elderly men from Tuen Mun to the Butterfly Bay factory.

The old men in Tuen Mun are quite curious about high-tech factories and want to come and visit.

Seeing the brand-new production lines inside the factory, and the game machines coming off the assembly line.

The grandfathers in the New Territories all had a look of novelty and curiosity in their eyes.

Chen Jiajun even specially turned on these newly produced arcade machines for the grandfathers to experience, to see what the 80s trend was like.

"Ah Jun, how much do you sell this game console for?"

Lu Hantao tried it out and immediately realized that this game machine was extremely valuable. He quickly pulled Chen Jiajun outside and asked him seriously.

"We don't plan to sell to the public for the time being. However, I estimate that a product of the same level would cost $3000. We are making counterfeit goods, but the quality is better than the original factory's. Selling them for eight or nine thousand shouldn't be a problem," Chen Jiajun shook his head and replied.

Chen Jiajun knew very well that the issue with game consoles wasn't how much money they could sell for.

Importantly, with these game machines, Hung Hing will have an additional source of stable income over the next ten years.

That's its true significance.

A game console, let's say one game coin is worth two Hong Kong dollars, can roughly earn 10-20 dollars per hour.

Even if it's less, it's only 10 yuan.

The attendance rate was 80%.

Take a large arcade with 100 machines as an example; it can generate hundreds of thousands of yuan in revenue per month! After deducting electricity costs, almost all of this is pure profit.

At the same time, he could also arrange for many idle Hung Hing members to work as waiters in the arcades.

Lu Huangfa then asked, "Ah Jun, how many employees can your factory accommodate?"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Jiajun replied, "We urgently need about 2000 employees. We will provide meals and accommodation. The factory has just opened, and the costs are too high. We can only offer 2000 per month."

I'm not sure if the young people from Tuen Mun will be willing to come.

"Also, I need some cleaning ladies, they have to be quick and efficient."

His answer was also very skillful.

These two thousand employees are, frankly speaking, benefits that Chen Jun has given to the indigenous people of Tuen Mun.

But he insisted that he was in dire need of it.

A monthly salary of 2000 yuan, which translates to a monthly labor cost of 400 million yuan, is nothing to Chen Jiajun these days.

Of course, this salary isn't paid for nothing. The factory doesn't need many skilled workers; most positions can be learned after just one look.

Therefore, Chen Jiajun will be able to make good use of these 2000 people.

Lu Huangfa and Lu Hantao exchanged a glance and immediately understood the implied meaning.

Lu Hantao patted Chen Jiajun on the shoulder heavily, smiling, "Jun, you're so thoughtful! We were worried that our Tuen Mun hooligans might cause you trouble. Don't worry, I'll talk to them!"

"Then thank you both very much," Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

Lu Hantao also smiled and said, "Hehe, we're so grateful to you! I'll invite the TV station to the ribbon-cutting ceremony this afternoon."

Ah Fa, go contact the lion dance troupe right now! We must spread the word about our first high-paying factory in Tuen Mun!

"Announce it widely? Uncle Tao, Uncle Fa, we're making pirated copies."

Chen Jiajun was momentarily flustered.

Lu Huangfa quickly replied, "What do you mean by piracy? As long as it can make money and provide jobs for everyone, it's a good factory."

“That’s right! What do you mean by pirated? If we say it’s genuine, then it’s genuine!” Lu Hantao waved his hand.

The two old men from the New Territories acted very arrogantly!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Chen Jiajun only offered two thousand jobs.

A factory can bring more than just that to a region; its radiating effect is very strong.

First of all, with so many workers, they need to be fed, right?
Secondly, the workers have earned money, so they need to spend it, right?

We basically take care of all our needs in the Tuen Mun area, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation!

Besides, a monthly salary of 2000 yuan was enough to support a family in Hong Kong in the early 1980s.

This is the effect that a factory can bring.

In other words, Chen Jiajun's factory does not need upstream or downstream partners. If it did, it could provide a few thousand jobs on a small scale.

At 3 p.m. that day, Butterfly Bay was breezy and packed with people.

Chan Ka-Chun, Luk Hon-Tao, Luk Wong-Fat, along with respected elders from the New Territories and several New Territories councilors, all dressed in suits and wearing red flowers, stood at the entrance of Kwok Chun Technology.

There was a shrine at the main entrance, and on the shrine was a roasted pork.

Lu Huangfa invited a lion dance troupe to perform at the entrance.

The elderly people near Tuen Mun would cheer from time to time.

Everyone's face was beaming with happiness.

Lu Huangfa and Lu Hantao did not keep the meal to themselves, but instead invited the respected elders of Tuen Mun to discuss it together.

In a short time, the grandfathers had divided up all two thousand jobs.

What does a monthly salary of 2000 yuan mean to the indigenous people of Tuen Mun?
That is hope!

It takes more than an hour to get from Tuen Mun to Tsim Sha Tsui by bus, and two hours if you take a longer route.

This has also led to Tuen Mun indigenous people being unable to find good jobs.

Some young adults either choose to join community organizations or stay home to farm. Even those who go out to work can't save much money each year due to various limitations.

Now things are great! Guojun Technology has provided a full 2000 job opportunities, and meals are included!

Having such a great job without leaving home—there's nothing more wonderful than that.
