Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 155 Jordan Opens

Hei Zai Hua and others left in a hurry to raise money.

The gambling king felt humiliated and left first, using the excuse that he had something to do at the casino. Wang Yaotang and others stood up to see him off.

Smilingly, they arranged to have dinner together. After watching the gambling king get on the elevator, Wang Yaotang looked at the local tycoons and said, "I've wanted to invite you guys for a long time. Today is a good day. Let's have a drink together."

He Jiale was in real estate, Zhang Zhihui and Wu Qixian were in building materials, and the last one, Lin Weiming, was in the dock business. The four of them looked at each other and immediately agreed with a smile.
The young man in front of him is a fierce dragon that has crossed the sea. In the future, Wang Yaotang will be the one in charge of the underworld in Macau. Their business is more or less related to the underworld, so they have a friendship with Hei Zaihua and others. Naturally, they have to change their destination now.

Go to the Tianchao Mingzhu Nightclub, which was originally owned by Mo Dingping and is now owned by Wang Yaotang.

The nine brothers who worked with Ajie couldn't drink with them, so they didn't force it. They opened a large private room for them and arranged three of the most beautiful girls in the place for each of them. Then they didn't care about anything else. Prince Wang paid for everything...

Ah Jie wanted to go over, but Wang Yaotang stopped him. “You’ll be on your own in the future, and you’ll have to deal with giant water monkeys. You need to get used to it now.”

"I can handle this on my own?" Ajie looked surprised.

"Otherwise, you've done such a big thing for the club, how can I pretend not to see it? What will my subordinates think then?" Wang Yaotang smiled and pulled him aside, "Okay, stop asking questions, let's go."

There is no difference between the Big Water Monkey and Young and Dangerous.

After selecting the beauties and serving the wine, Wang Yaotang waved to the manager, "Do you have rice wine?"

"Ah? Sorry, boss." It was the first time that the manager encountered someone asking for rice wine in a nightclub. He was speechless for a moment.

"I like to drink rice wine and white wine, understand?"

"I understand!" The manager nodded heavily, and when he saw that there were no other instructions, he immediately turned around and left.

"Mr. Wang actually likes to drink rice wine and white wine. It's rare." He Jiale said with a smile.

"I am a housing estate boy. I used to drink beer and white wine at most. I couldn't get used to red wine and whiskey. I felt that red wine tasted 'astringent' and whiskey had a burnt oak smell. Poor people's bodies cannot enjoy these high-end goods." Wang Yaotang said with a smile.

"This red wine..." Zhang Zhihui was about to give a long speech, but Wu Qixian beside him gently kicked him, and he immediately changed his words, "This red wine is really bitter."

Hong Kong and Macau are colonies after all, so the upper class must of course follow the habits of their masters, drinking red wine and whiskey on all occasions.

No one knows whether these Chinese really like to drink it, but they habitually brag about it.

"Haha, don't mind me." Wang Yaotang waved his hand. "We are all partners, not outsiders. I won't pretend with you. Don't treat me as an outsider. Drink whatever you like. If you make money, you should make yourself happy. Otherwise, the money will be earned in vain."

"Take red wine and whiskey for example. Even though I don't like them, I still admire them outside."

"Why?" The beautiful woman next to him asked in a tender voice, holding Wang Yaotang's arm.

"In a nightclub, how much can a glass of white wine sell for? If I drink one glass and get you drunk, how can I make money selling wine?" Wang Yaotang stretched out his hand and pinched the beauty's breasts. "Red wine is different. The cost is low, the profit is high, and it's not easy to get drunk. In fact, beer is not bad, but beer can't be sold at a high price."

"Therefore, red wine must be the most stylish wine. Drinking red wine is a reflection of status. Moreover, red wine has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing blood and moistening intestines, beautifying the skin, and improving sleep."

"Wow, it really has so many benefits." The beautiful woman asked in surprise, causing everyone in the room to laugh.

As they were laughing, He Jiale and his friends looked at the red wine in their hands and suddenly it didn't taste good anymore. They felt like they were being sold and were still counting money for others.

Outside the door, someone from the purchasing department brought back a few bottles of rice wine from somewhere. The manager took them with a look with a look of delight. After thinking for a while, he put down the bottles and started sprinting back and forth on the stairs. He was sweating profusely and then he strode in front with the bottles in his arms. Behind him, someone was pushing a small cart loaded with ingredients such as water, shredded ginger, wolfberry, red dates, brown sugar, ice cubes, plums, lemon slices, etc.

Pushing the door open, Wang Yaotang glanced at the manager who was sweating profusely, praised him with satisfaction, and asked the waiter to start heating up the rice wine.

Upon seeing this, He Jiale, Zhang Zhihui and the other three also put down their red wine and asked for a portion to try.

Seeing this, Wang Yaotang asked the manager to prepare crabs, drunken shrimps and braised dishes, and they ate while chatting.

Don’t you know whether your tongue tastes good or not?

While drinking and chatting, the topic soon turned to real estate. Wang Yaotang said that he wanted to build a 10-story building, covering an area of more than 300 square meters and a construction area of about 3600 square meters. He Jiale helped to calculate the cost, which was about 700 million yuan, and another 300 million yuan for simple decoration!
"So expensive?" Wang Yaotang was shocked.

"It's not expensive." Ho Ka Lok tilted his head and pointed at Cheung Chi Fai and Ng Kai Yin. "Whether it's Hong Kong Island or Macao, even a grain of sand, a piece of stone, or a bag of cement has to be imported, and it can't disturb the residents or pollute the surrounding environment. The government has to control the building style and has all kinds of messy requirements. Of course, the cost is high."

Zhang Zhihui and Wu Qixian smiled and spread their hands, "It's not that we sell expensive. Southeast Asia buys sand, stone and cement, which needs to be transported, piled up at the port, loaded on the ship, and then arrived at Hong Kong Island and Haojiang. There are still queues at the port for loading and unloading, and warehousing, which takes a lot of manpower."

Wang Yaotang thought about it and realized that it was true. Nothing is produced here and everything has to be imported. Who knows how many times the product has passed through so many hands. The price has at least doubled. How can it not be expensive!

So, can I get involved?
I don’t have the ability to engage in real estate, but what about sand, stone, cement and steel bars?

This doesn't require any technology, just purchasing and transportation. 40 years later, I will be involved in gangs in the north... I'm in a gang, and anyone who steals my business will be beaten to death!
If you have a monopoly, you can make a lot of money.

Of course, that’s all later, we’ll talk about it later.

It so happened that Ajie had squeezed 2500 million out of Hei Zai Hua and his gang, and now he had enough money. Wang Yaotang decided on the spot to contract the design, construction, and decoration of the tenement building to He Jiale for 1000 million.

Wang Yaotang calculated that after the house was built, he could mortgage it to the bank and get a loan of at least 1500 million yuan, which was not a loss!

The party was lively until 12 o'clock. Everyone had drunk too much, so Wang Yaotang suggested that they go home. The two beauties fell drunk in his arms on the spot.

He Jiale and his three companions each embraced a beauty and walked away, but Wang Yaotang ignored the two people beside him and got up and left.

At night, Jie Shiwei still had to work in the casino, and Situ Yulian asked Wang Yaotang to go home...

……

After staying in Haojiang for one night, they returned to Hong Kong Island the next day. Black and White Impermanence and Da Biao invited Da Bideng to come out and negotiate peace, and the appointment was made for today.

When they arrived in Hong Kong Island, they went to Tuodi Mountain Gate first. Whether it was reputation in the martial arts world or the manpower and resources that could be mobilized, Wang Yaotang still lacked a lot, so he still had to ask Qi Gudong to step in.

"What did the police say?" After a few pleasantries, Wang Yaotang asked with a smile.

"The body was cremated last night." Tsui Gu Dong said, slapping his hand. "The society spent so much."

"50?" Wang Yaotang asked carefully.

"It's his 500 million!" Qi Gudong said angrily, "What are you doing to these little bastards? Are you crazy? There are 26 of us, and each of them asked for 20 from us."

Wang Yaotang smacked his lips. "What you said makes me not know whether I should be happy or sad for my brothers. It seems that the reason why they didn't kill people when they went out to the streets was because my life was not worth the price the society paid to kill me."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said. The people below are like weeds in the fields, always growing in batches. You can summon them with a wave of your hand whenever you need them. The question is whether you can afford to support them." Qi Gudong laughed.

Wang Yaotang didn't say anything either. That's because you don't know what the price of weeds in Hong Kong will be 40 years later...

It’s too expensive. I can’t afford to recruit them, fight them, or get hurt.

Fortunately, we can also import Malaysian, Thai, and Philippine raw materials for use as consumables...

"What does the club have in mind this time?"

"It's up to you. You are the one who conquered the territory, and it's not easy for the society to make the decision." Qi Gudong picked up the teapot and slowly poured tea for the two of them.

"He Shengyi is thriving under your leadership. Now that its power has expanded to Jordan, we can open another branch." Wang Yaotang said with a smile.

"Are you willing to give up three nightclubs?" Qi Gudong sat up suddenly and stared at Wang Yaotang with burning eyes.

The society contributed 500 million yuan and used its connections to help settle the matter with the police force. Qi Gudong just wanted to get some shares, but he didn't expect Wang Yaotang to make such a big concession.

"It's not impossible to discuss it." Wang Yaotang laughed.
