The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 330 Scamming the Boss

As the saying goes, snakes have their paths and rats have their ways!
Sai Kung is the biggest illegal taxi market and smuggling hotspot on Hong Kong Island.

As the "Big Fool" of Hung Hing Sai Kung branch, in addition to running an increasingly large auto repair shop, he also naturally took on the business of collecting stolen cars.

Because of Wu Feng's instructions, Da Sha didn't engage in much dirty work; he mainly focused on low- to mid-priced stolen cars.

His main business is car repair and modification.

Wu Feng hired many veterans from the mainland, including many truck drivers, who themselves possessed certain skills.

The remaining mainland employees did odd jobs while learning car repair skills.

In fact, to better develop the repair shop, they even opened their own small training classes internally, which they don't recruit from outside.

In fact, at the factory group in Shenzhen, there is an even larger auto repair training school that has begun to continuously train auto repair talents for the group and the mainland.

In the early 1990s, being able to drive and repair cars meant you were considered a high-income earner, whether in mainland China or Hong Kong.

The infamous "outer quarters village" in Shenzhen is the "masterpiece" of a group of Hong Kong Island freight truck drivers.

That's why things on Hong Kong Island are so surreal.

Most of Hong Kong Island's freight capacity is controlled by triads.

The real source, however, is the numerous piers on Hong Kong Island.

That's why the dock tycoons on Hong Kong Island are truly amazing!
In fact, Hung Hing also had a dock freight business, but it wasn't very large, mainly because its relationship with the dock tycoons was just so-so.

Huo Daheng strongly supports a certain number in the number gang, and it's unlikely that he would give it up to Hung Hing just because they've only known each other for a short time.

Of course, if Wu Feng were willing, he could easily organize a large transport team to carry out logistics exchanges between Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

However, there are too many troublesome things involved.

The border control on Hong Kong Island alone is too easily influenced by others.

Large-scale cargo transportation is basically carried out by sea-going vessels, which do not even stop at the port of Hong Kong Island.

It wasn't that Wu Feng was too cautious, but rather that he didn't trust the integrity of certain people and forces.

At the same time, it also serves to shield Chiang Tin-sang and Han Bin from the possibility that they might have too many overlapping interests with truly powerful figures in Hong Kong.

Everything else is fine, but Wu Feng is worried about one thing.

If they become deeply entangled with the so-called elite families of Hong Kong Island, will their drive to expand outwards gradually diminish?
Hong Kong Island is actually quite large, but the bustling areas are concentrated in the mainland and Kowloon, making it unsuitable for promoting large-scale logistics models.

Like ubiquitous tea restaurants, they only need to hire a few more staff to take over the takeout business of several surrounding streets.

Even if they are too busy for a while, they can easily cope by temporarily recruiting a few familiar temporary workers. They don't need a large number of delivery riders.

On the mainland, however, Wu Feng's factory group owns a large fleet of transport vehicles, specializing in important transportation services across the country.

At the same time, they also supported a veteran with a good background to enter the transportation industry.

Once they have grown to a certain size and the infrastructure level in mainland China has reached a certain standard, they could immediately enter the express delivery industry and potentially become a leading private enterprise.

In mainland China, some things are not so easy to do.

Even if Hong Kong businessmen receive preferential treatment, there is a limit.

Wu Feng also needs reliable allies!

Putting aside the mainland, he's extremely useful to Da Sha!
The inspiration came from a reincarnation novel I read in my previous life. The protagonist of that novel was a Chinese American who was a very outstanding automotive engineer before he transmigrated and had a great understanding of the ins and outs of automobiles.

The protagonist started his business by collecting scrap car parts from American auto parts stores, and gradually became a car tycoon.

That novel was published around one or two years ago.

It seemed quite novel at the time, and the protagonist's path to wealth seemed very unusual, which is why Wu Feng had a deep impression of it.

Of course, when the time came for him to travel through time, he would naturally realize that the plot of this novel was very unreliable and that it portrayed the United States as too 'fair'.

At that time, the internet was highly developed, and everyone knew that the situation of Chinese Americans was not good.

There is simply no way to provide Chinese people with growth opportunities outside of the food and beverage industry and acupuncture and massage.

Once it reaches a certain scale, it will immediately face acquisition by large companies.

However, the novel's plot also provided Wu Feng with a good idea.

That is to cooperate with the triads in Chinatown in the United States, and through the car scrap recycling stations controlled by the triads in Chinatown, to supply a steady stream of used car parts to Hong Kong Island.

Well, each country has different standards for scrapping cars, but some parts on scrapped cars can still be used.

Big Fool's car modification skills are pretty good!

Wu Feng's idea is simple: to assemble various usable cars using used car parts from the United States.

This thing definitely won't have a market in Hong Kong Island!

But in Southeast Asia and Africa, it's hard to say.

Putting aside other things, the large plantations Wu Feng bought in Indonesia require all sorts of inexpensive vehicles.

Similar to those "hybrids" in mainland China, as long as it can run, move, and play a role, that's fine.

It can be said that Da Sha's car repair shop in Saigon served as a training center and an assembly center.

The effect is quite obvious!
At least, the investment in Indonesia is much less than expected.

In rural areas, except for big cities, people don't care about vehicle regulations; as long as they can serve a certain purpose, that's fine.

With this foundation, even if a formal automobile factory is established in mainland China or somewhere in Southeast Asia in the future, there will be a fairly solid technological basis.

That's why, despite the enormous size of Big Fool's repair shop, he didn't delve too deeply into the dirty car business on Hong Kong Island.

On the one hand, I felt it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, it was also for safety reasons.

As I said before, Hong Kong Island will be returned to China in seven years.

No one knew what the Hong Kong British government would do during this period.
In fact, there are more than just Da Sha's auto repair shop in Saigon.

Their actions and gestures were much more elaborate.

Of course, they all have the backing of gangs behind them, otherwise they simply couldn't keep operating.

In any case, the integration of community groups and everyday life on Hong Kong Island is so deep that it is difficult to distinguish between them.

Under such circumstances, Chang Le Fei Hong, a notorious thief in Hong Kong, would often have victims come to him through his triad connections.

Under normal circumstances, Fei Hong can easily resolve troubles.

However, from this, one can also discover which of their key subordinates have the best performance and which of them have secretly hidden money.

Previously, the stutterer would be asked this question several times a month.

Fei Hong was used to it, and suddenly not being able to find Xiao Jieba's phone number made him feel a little uneasy.

But to her surprise, the stutterer still managed to collect the full amount of money. Before the stutterer could even speak, her friend couldn't wait to boast: "These past few days, my sister has been participating in an arcade game competition on Fa Yuen Street in Mong Kok, and she even won third place, earning a prize of HK$20,000!"

"Recently, there's been a lot of coverage on TV and in the newspapers about the first Asian Arcade Game Competition. With Sister Xi's skills, she's been invited by the organizers and is planning to practice her arcade game skills more!"

"Wow, so powerful?"

Not to mention the other underlings of Tuodi, even the big boss Feihong was astonished.

Seeing the little stutterer's arrogant expression, Fei Hong couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve, little stutterer!"

"It's just that I like playing with electricity, that's all!"

The stutterer was quite smug, waving his hand and saying, "This time, the organizing committee of the event invited almost all the skilled arcade game masters in Hong Kong. I can only be considered one of them!"

"That's still quite remarkable!"

Fei Hong's eyes darted around, and he asked curiously, "Is playing video game competitions very lucrative?"

"Good grades mean more money!"

The stuttering boy said smugly, "Ciyun Mountain, this arcade here isn't good enough; they can't offer much in return!"

"The arcades over in Mong Kok Kok are really generous!"

"We frequently organize game competitions, with prize money ranging from several thousand to several hundred!"

"Oh, only that little?"

Fei Hong immediately lost interest and shook his head, saying, "It's better to do more jobs than waste time playing video games!"

The girl with the stutter was immediately displeased when she saw this.

She wanted to shout it out loud and tell all the brothers in Tuodi that her sister was making a lot of money by playing video games.

There are quite a few video game arcades in Mong Kok, and they're willing to spend money on promotion.

Influenced by the frequent video game competitions held in the Garden Street area, many arcade owners also often contribute money to hold small-scale game competitions.

It involves two or three video game arcades hosting an event together. Although the prize money is only a few hundred to a thousand, the frequency of the competitions is undeniable.

Moreover, some wealthy customers, when they get really into watching, will voluntarily pay out of their own pockets to increase the rewards, or designate two specific experts to compete against each other.

In addition, there are monthly competitions on Garden Street, so there are plenty of opportunities to compete!

If you have enough skills, you can earn at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a month!

This amount of money is not small at all.

At that time, the average monthly salary of white-collar workers in Central was around eight thousand.

It's safe to say that if Little Stutterer focused all his energy on playing video games, his monthly income would definitely be among the high-income earners.

In addition, I must say she is very beautiful!

Her advertising posters were quite effective!
The revenue from selling posters alone is not a small amount.

At the same time, it can bring a lot of new customers to the arcade!

Seeing the effectiveness of the advertisement, the entertainment center on Garden Street is already planning to sign an annual advertising contract with her, and her income has increased dramatically.

Furthermore, companies like the developer of the Ong-Bak game are also planning to invite her to shoot more print advertisements.

Sometimes you have to admit that being good-looking is your biggest asset!

Little Stutterer was stunned by this series of good news. If he didn't know that Mong Kok Garden Street was the stronghold of the current leader of the Sai Kung branch of Hung Hing, and therefore highly credible, he might have suspected that he had been scammed and that the team was targeting him.

In other words, Little Stutterer is still young and has a strong yearning for the martial arts world.

Otherwise, a seasoned veteran of the underworld would probably cling to the coattails of Garden Street Entertainment City immediately.

Her girlfriends were well aware of these circumstances.

That's why it's said that Little Stutterer, as the female lead in the movie "Young and Dangerous," does possess a certain amount of luck.

Before her friends could reveal all her secrets, the powerful figure Fei Hong was suddenly summoned away by a phone call.

Also leaving were a group of tall and burly thugs from the village.

Seeing that they were not involved, the little stutterer and her friends happily ran off to play in Temple Street, completely unaware that they had escaped a disaster.

If Boss Fei Hong knew the specifics of Little Stutterer's situation, he would probably restrict Little Stutterer as a cash cow.

Fortunately, Fei Hong wasn't interested in Xiao Jieba's daily activities, otherwise Xiao Jieba would have been nothing more than a tool for making money by playing video games, and his fate would definitely not have been good.

When Xiao Jieba received the invitation to join the artist department of Fengrui Film and Television, she was completely stunned.

Little Stutterer naturally knows about Fengrui Films.

After all, in the past two years, Hong Kong's most outstanding film and television company, without exception, has produced a number of excellent films.

The company boasts a number of outstanding female stars, with nearly ten first- and second-tier celebrities emerging through a series of high-quality films.

As time went on, their fame gradually began to rival that of top-tier actresses like Cherie Chung.

It can be said that Fengrui Films holds a significant place in the hearts of many young women in Hong Kong.

It's impossible for Little Stutterer not to have fantasized about becoming a big star, but when the opportunity actually presented itself, he was somewhat at a loss.

"W-wh-what, how did you all come to like me?"

Having spent some time in the underworld, he still retains some rationality.

"Fengrui Film and Television Company plans to form its own gaming team!"

The artist department staff clearly stated: "We will participate in the first Asian Arcade Game Competition!"

"Your gaming skills are quite good, and your appearance is also excellent. If you achieve a decent ranking in the competition, you'll accumulate a lot of popularity!"

"The company will do a good job of promotion, making you a popular video game 'beauty'! I believe you'll be very popular!"

"Once you reach a certain level of fame, you can directly contact developers of high-quality and popular games for advertising endorsements, and your income won't be any less than that of a third-tier female celebrity!"

At this point, an employee from the talent department of Fengrui Film and Television chuckled and said, "If you just think of yourself as a star contestant from the first 'Unrestricted Fighting Tournament,' you'll know how bright your financial prospects are!"

"Once you reach a certain level of fame, you can collaborate with 'Nightfall' to create beautiful promotional images for product sales, and even have the opportunity to participate in film and television productions. What do you think?"

"Well, I'm afraid the big boss won't let them go!"

Little Stutterer was very tempted. She wouldn't easily miss the opportunity to become a star. However, her boss, Fei Hong, was no pushover.

"Who is your boss?"

The staff in the artist department chuckled and asked curiously, "He's not some powerful figure from the underworld, is he? That would be a bit troublesome!"

"I, my boss is, Chang Le Fei Hong!"
