Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 56: Unexpected Gains

Ji Mi admired the photo in his hand under the light of the street lamp. His facial features and license plate were all clearly captured.

The only regret was that he didn't have a car yet, so he had no way to keep up. There were no taxis in the parking lot at that time, so he could only let the person go.

"Young man, the license plate you took a picture of is a fake one. Even if you check it, you won't find any real information."

An old man in a windbreaker walked out from behind the parking lot landscape forest and calmly told Jimi not to waste his efforts.

Ji Mi put the photo away, looked him up and down, and saw a few weeds on his shoes, which showed that this guy had been hiding in the woods for a long time.

"who are you?"

"My name is Uesugi Yue."

"Just a nobody, but it looks like we have the same goal."

Uesugi Yue brushed off the weeds on his windbreaker and continued, "Excuse me, but most of the people who come out to spy are small characters."

"Since we have the same goal, I will reveal a piece of information to you. The person who just left is a member of the Japanese Yazaku, the leader of the Tiandao Group, Tian Si."

"As for why he came to Hong Kong and why he was looking for the weakling lying there, I can't tell you."

"No matter who you are, no matter who the boss behind you is, I want to meet him. I have a big business to do with him."

Chi Mengli bought three minibuses, which almost exhausted all his liquid capital and even spent part of his wife's capital.

However, Zhang Jie Li was very quick and approved the minibus route in just five days. According to regulations, the number of Fuji Minibus Company minibuses on one route cannot exceed ninety-nine.

Chi Mengli agreed with this law and regulation. After all, he did not intend to buy ninety-nine minibuses at the beginning. Even if Hong Kong develops rapidly in the future, ninety-eight would be enough.

"Boss, I have selected a few areas to be used as our advertising display areas."

"They are under the left luggage rack, under the right luggage rack, the rear light box of the cab, the front light box of the conductor, and the two side carriages and the rear carriage on the outside."

"There should be advertisements on the seat covers and armrests."

"They are not small in size. I will nail one-centimeter-thick light boxes on both sides of the car. The car battery will provide the light, so the energy consumption is very low."

Meng Dewei, the marketing expert hired by Chi Mengli at a high price, was introducing a presentation chart to his boss.

Mr. Meng Dewei was the deputy director of the advertising department of British American Tobacco Company Limited, and the director of the advertising department was the famous Huang Zhan. The reason for choosing him to be the general manager of the advertising company was very simple, that was the order from British American Tobacco Company.

British American Tobacco Co. Ltd. took out a little bit of its generous advertising budget and gave it to Chi Mengli's new company called Pioneer Advertising Company.

Meng Dewei was also moved by Chi Mengli's sincerity. Chi Mengli's sincerity was not to visit him three times, but to offer a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, plus a 10% share of the net profit at the end of the year, to invite this top student who graduated from the Columbia University School of Journalism.

"I need to ask Lawyer Zhang about this matter. Our company has to pay him a consulting fee every month. I don't want my minibus to be stopped by military uniforms after it hits the road."

"This is a legal business. No matter what you do, it must be legal."

“We need to hire a few salespeople to run sales. We can’t have cigarette ads on all the advertising space.”

"First, we need to make a demonstration car, hire a better designer, set up the light box advertising, and then make a picture album to facilitate the salesmen to go out and do business."

"By the way, I will apply for a location in the name of the minibus company and customize a stop sign. There must be street lights and conspicuous signboards in both Chinese and English. Most importantly, there must be at least three light-board advertising spaces."

"One sign per station means we have at least 30 more advertising spots, which is not a small amount of money."

"In prime locations with large passenger flow, there will be small waiting stations with rain curtains, waiting areas and, most importantly, huge light-box billboards." "The minibus company will fully authorize the advertising company to undertake construction, maintenance and advertising space investment authorization, and the profit-sharing agreement is being drafted."

“Also, the exterior of the waiting station must be beautiful and different from one another, and also coordinate with the streetscape.”

"Design it and let me have a look. Lawyer Zhang will find a solution at the Municipal Bureau."

"Mr. Meng, I only control the general direction. The company still has to be handed over to you. The more business the advertising company has, the more money we can make. We can all make money together."

“Dangdangdangdang.”

Chi Mengli looked at the door of the office, shook his head helplessly, then looked at Meng Dewei, smiled and said: "I'll leave the business to you, Mr. Meng. In the initial stage, if you work overtime, I will pay you enough overtime pay, and the midnight snacks will also be paid from the company account."

"I know, sir. I'll go get busy first."

Meng Dewei put away the notebook, indicating that he understood, and then said goodbye and left.

The office door opened, and Ji Mi and Bo Xidong were both standing outside the door. They greeted Meng Dewei before walking into the office.

"Brother Sheng."

"Brother Sheng."

After saying hello, Bo Xidong sat on the single sofa chair placed by the window by Chi Mengli. Ji Mi didn't move, walked to the desk, and waited for the boss's instructions.

"One of us, sit down."

"What is this big duck doing lately?"

Chi Mengli picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it, crossed his legs and looked at Ji Mi.

If Big Mouth Duck had been in the same temper as before his defeat, he would definitely have gathered his men and fought me to the death.

This was exactly what Chi Mengli wanted. He also planned to cooperate with the police from inside and outside to take over all of Dakouya's territories without bloodshed.

But I didn't expect that this punk had evolved into a Ninja Turtle through cultivation. It had been two days and there had been no movement at all. It was a waste of time for Hei Ah Hu to ambush him in secret.

"Adong, are you done?"

Thinking of this, Chi Mengli felt regretful and looked at Bo Xidong who was sitting by the window.

Bo Xidong threw the magazine aside and said, "Brother Sheng, it's done. Sister Lian has a chronic disease and anemia. I have hired a Filipino maid to take care of her. Don't worry, I know everything about her."

"She still misses you very much and wants you to visit her more often."

"I know. I'll go and see it when I have time."

"Have you settled the minibus drivers' share of the profits?"

In this world, Chi Mengli only has her mother as a relative, but her mother Lian Jie lives in the New Territories. She likes places with better air and refuses to come to Hong Kong Island to live with her.

Guo Guohao used his personal connections to arrange for Sister Lian to stay in a convalescent hospital specially prepared for police officers, where she lived very comfortably.

"I asked around, and found out that other minibus companies all have a charter system, 300 yuan a day, including insurance and routes, a 2,000 yuan deposit, and a three-day lease." Bo Xidong explained the system of other minibus companies.
