Chapter 395 I'm a true business genius! (Seeking monthly votes)

The twenty or so exquisite jade ornaments that Lian Sheng acquired this time were divided up by his uncles and the hall masters before they even entered the market.

What a joke!
They wouldn't be willing to sell something that could be passed down as a family heirloom, and they're not exactly short of money. Only a fool would do something so foolish.

"Where are all these jade raw materials?"

The group and Lian Sheng's top executives were then moved to a warehouse where jade raw materials were stored.

Looking at the jade raw materials piled up in the warehouse, forming several small hills, I felt a bit of a headache.

"Didn't you ask at a jewelry store?"

Longgen frowned and asked, "Will they accept it or not?"

"Of course we'll accept it!"

The person in charge of this matter happens to be Chuiji.

Who told this guy's territory to be considered the outer area of ​​Causeway Bay?

The area has a developed economy, with many gold shops and jewelry stores.

"However, because we have a large quantity of raw materials, they all want to lower the price, which is about 70% to 80% of the market price!"

"Screw it, they're even trying to take advantage of Lian Sheng!"

Longgen was quite annoyed and said irritably, "What about the finished jade ornaments? Have you found out their prices?"

"Ahem, that depends on the craftsman's skill and reputation!"

Chuiji said somewhat awkwardly, "Even the cheapest jade bracelet costs more than ten times the price of the raw material!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of all the executives at Helian Sheng darkened.

"Isn't this price difference huge?"

Longgen said unhappily, "If all else fails, we'll just open our own shop!"

"Where can we find a sculptor?"

At this point, Uncle Deng finally spoke up, getting straight to the point.

"The mainland!"

Long Gen replied matter-of-factly, "There are plenty of handicraft factories in the mainland, and which of the master craftsmen there doesn't have excellent carving skills?"

"Opening a jewelry store isn't that easy."

Now, Chuiji seized the opportunity and mocked, "We have neither a reputation nor a stable customer base, aren't we going to go bankrupt?"

"That's why they say, gangsters who don't use their brains will always be scoundrels!"

Longgen snorted and said disdainfully, "You only have eyes for the pittances of Hong Kong Island, no wonder you're getting worse and worse!"

"Longgen, who are you mocking?"

The chicken, fed up, roared, "Explain yourself!"

"I didn't even name names, but you jumped out on your own initiative. You really aren't very bright!"

Longgen's sarcasm was palpable as he chuckled, "Hey, what's wrong with you, Chicken? Shouldn't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"you……"

He was so angry he was practically fuming, and almost lost control and started hitting her.

"Alright, stop arguing, what kind of talk is this?"

Uncle Deng spoke, staring intently at Long Gen for a moment before saying, "Long Gen, just say what you're thinking!"

But deep down, I felt very uneasy.

Longgen isn't vying for the leadership position. His faction's strength is growing increasingly powerful, and if a way isn't found to limit it, it will cause major problems with the balance of power within the Lian Sheng organization. Besides, for some reason, Longgen's idiotic mind seems to have suddenly become enlightened.

He ran his gang in Mong Kok with great success, his film company was also very profitable, and his maritime cargo business was incredibly successful.

Without sufficient intelligence and skill, it would be impossible to handle these matters properly.

Didn't you see the heated exchange just now? Chuiji was almost driven to the point of exploding on the spot. When did Longgen become so eloquent?

"Many people in Southeast Asian countries are Buddhists!"

Longgen said confidently, "We can definitely make Buddha amulets from jade raw materials, and I believe the market will be huge!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked enlightened.

That's a really good idea!
Buddhist monks in Southeast Asian countries are all wealthy.

"It just so happens that the 1984 'Journey to the West' produced in mainland China has a great influence in Southeast Asia!"

"We can spend money to get the local TV station to repeatedly broadcast the 'Journey to the West' TV series. Then we can make a fortune by producing amulets featuring many Buddhist characters from the Journey to the West!"

"Once our amulets become more famous, we can then move on to the jade and jewelry market in Hong Kong Island. I believe there won't be any problems then!"

Long Gen spoke eloquently, displaying the air of a business tycoon.

If I didn't have some self-awareness, I probably would have gotten carried away.

In particular, the fact that everyone around him, including the top executives of Lian Sheng, showed expressions of shock made him even happier.

These were things he couldn't have come up with.

Instead, it was back in mainland China that he shamelessly sought advice from Wu Feng.

Otherwise, why would He Liansheng come with a large quantity of various jade raw materials?
Among the patriotic Hong Kong businessmen's trade delegation organized by Wu Feng, the most enthusiastic members on Lian Sheng's side were naturally Long Gen and Guan Zisen.

If Guan Zisen hadn't been tied up, he probably would have been following Wu Feng around, trying to curry favor with him.

Even so, apart from the necessary working capital, Long Gen and Guan Zisen invested almost all of their wealth.

With such a large investment, the returns are naturally quite astonishing.

The furs and large quantities of gems obtained from the Russians alone were enough to offset their huge investment.

Not to mention the massive acquisitions in other areas, the mainland side naturally wouldn't be stingy with benefits.

Otherwise, given the transportation conditions at that time, how could He Liansheng have obtained several tons of jade raw materials?
Meanwhile, seeing how cooperative Longgen and Guanzisen were, Wu Feng pointed out a grand development plan for them, of course, the legitimate kind.

Sure enough, Long Gen took it out directly, leaving He Liansheng and the other high-ranking officials speechless for a long time.

In fact, this idea came to Wu Feng based on the behind-the-scenes footage of the cast and crew of Journey to the West that he had seen in his previous life.

It is said that the actor who played the Buddha was worshipped as the Buddha when he traveled to Siam.

The actress who plays Guanyin is in a similar situation; there's no way around it, her temperament and charm are just too much in line with everyone's imagination of Guanyin.

The most unfortunate person was the actor who played the Jade Emperor, whose image became the only portrait used for the currency issued by the Heaven and Earth Bank.

Wu Feng's idea was simple: to leverage the huge influence of the Journey to the West TV series to see if he could successfully enter the market for Buddhist amulets and small Buddhist ornaments in Southeast Asian countries.

Whether or not it will work out in the end, at least it sounds pretty promising.

However, He Liansheng does not lack connections and networks in Southeast Asia.

Even if others are unwilling, Lung Gen and Kwan Tsz-sum alone can manage to do it on their own, which is why Lung Gen speaks with particular confidence.

Seeing that Long Gen and Guan Zai Sen, along with Quan Wan Da D, are living a wonderful and comfortable life, it's clear that they have a knack for making money.

Now that the opportunity has arisen, everyone, including Uncle Deng, is actively participating, afraid of falling behind and being outmaneuvered by others.
