The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 654 A Trap! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
That evening, Wu Aiguo hosted a banquet at his home to welcome Huo Daheng.

As for other Hong Kong Island businessmen, they will naturally be entertained by the relevant authorities.

All of these were home-style dishes prepared by Wu Aiguo himself.

He lived alone, and the guards and servicemen took turns eating at the farm's garrison canteen.

This pleased Huo Daheng greatly!
He's eaten all sorts of delicacies; all he wants is a respectful attitude.

Then, he was proven wrong.

Wu Aiguo's cooking skills are quite good. Although he can't compare to the imperial chefs, he is more than qualified to be the head chef of a star-rated hotel.

Although it's a simple home-style dish, it brings out the deliciousness of the food.

Another sip of homemade rice wine, and it's simply wonderful.

After finishing his meal, Huo Daheng was surprised to find that his body felt warm and comfortable.

I felt full of energy, as if I had reached my peak.

My mind was exceptionally clear, without the slightest hint of the effects of alcohol.

"This is……"

He looked at Wu Aiguo with some surprise and uncertainty, feeling quite shaken.

"Just a simple medicinal diet!"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "Myanmar may not have much else, but it does have plenty of raw materials for preparing medicinal cuisine!"

"And there's homemade rice wine, which is quite effective as a medicinal wine!"

"What do you think, Mr. Huo?"

"Great, I'd like to purchase a batch for my own use!"

What else could Huo Daheng say? He simply asked to buy it.

"Isn't this a slap in my face?"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "I will send Mr. Huo a batch of the best, enough for you to use for a year!"

"Then I'll be disrespectful!"

If it were someone else, Huo Daheng might have to think it over more carefully.

But if it's homemade medicinal food and wine, and the effects are obvious, he definitely won't be pretentious.

Once they moved to the study, Wu Aiguo personally lit a long incense stick and placed it in the incense burner next to the desk, instantly filling the room with a faint fragrance.

Huo Daheng took a light breath and felt his mind become clearer.

"What kind of incense is this? It's so effective!"

"I made this refreshing and invigorating incense myself!"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "Generally, it's only used during school classes and important meetings. This stuff is still a bit scarce!"

"You have so many good things here!"

Huo Daheng couldn't help but sigh, but didn't say anything to remind her about the brain incense.

Wu Aiguo didn't explain further, deciding to give Huo Daheng a surprise when he left.

After personally serving Huo Daheng a cup of tea, they finally got down to business.

"Mr. Huo, how's the pager business going?"

"Great! The signal base stations now cover the main island and Kowloon Peninsula, and we've already opened over 20,000 accounts!"

"Isn't a little over 20,000 a bit low?"

"That's quite a lot. A pager costs five thousand Hong Kong dollars, the account opening fee is one thousand, and each call costs two dollars!"

"This stuff is really incredibly profitable!"

"It's incredibly profitable. Since the telecommunications company started, they've not only recouped all their expenses, but also made a profit of over 70 million!" "If they could get more than 100,000 new accounts, that would be a gold mine!"

"It's probably unlikely in the short term, right?"

"What's impossible?"

Wu Aiguo scoffed, "Pagers aren't as technologically advanced as you think, sir!"

"Once the electronics professionals, including those from Taiwan, master the technology, won't the price of pagers plummet?"

"No way! The patent for this thing is held by an American company. The consequences of infringing on that technology are no joke!"

"With such huge profits, do you think Xiao Rizi and the forces in Taiwan wouldn't be tempted?"

Wu Aiguo countered, "If pagers became widespread in China and Taiwan, how big would that market be?"

Huo Daheng was stunned!
Upon closer examination, it was indeed the case, and his face immediately darkened, yet he had no good solution.

There's no need to rush for now!

Wu Aiguo reassured them, "Right now, pagers have only just begun to be distributed in Hong Kong Island, so they won't cause too much of a stir for the time being!"

"At this point, it would be best to secure both the production license and the patent license for pagers, so we can manufacture them ourselves!"

Seeing Huo Daheng's hesitation, Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the pager production!"

"That's no problem!"

Huo Daheng relaxed and chuckled, "I will try my best to increase the publicity efforts here in Hong Kong!"

At this point, he tentatively asked, "Vice President Wu, do you have any relevant scripts?"

"We don't have a script, but we have plenty of ideas!"

"For example, in a business competition, one boss bought a pager and activated the call service, while another boss didn't buy one because he was stingy!"

"As a result, the previous boss received the information in time and made adjustments, allowing the company to make huge profits and expand rapidly!"

"But the rival boss is not home right now, and the company can't contact him for a while. By the time we can get in touch with him, it will be too late!"

"Following this model, shooting a suspenseful urban commercial film should garner considerable attention!"

"Which industry do you think should be filmed, Vice President Wu?"

Huo Daheng had no idea about this, so he threw the question back at him.

"I've heard that the artificial flower manufacturing industry in Hong Kong is quite developed, so let's use that as a main element in the movie, and talk about a certain businessman surnamed Li..."

"Of course, if Mr. Huo feels that this story is not attractive enough or down-to-earth enough, he can also make a story about gangsters!"

"For example, two half-brothers who grew up together may end up becoming disciples of two different triad bosses!"

"They all quickly rose through the ranks to become members of the 49th Division by daring to fight and take risks!"

"As a result, one of the big shots gave one of them a pager as a congratulatory gift, while the other only received a few hundred Hong Kong dollars in red envelopes!"

"In the end, the two brothers received the same mission: to take down a particularly outspoken high-ranking member of a third gang!"

"The two brothers, who rarely joined forces, finally managed to eliminate their target, but they were then hunted down by the gang behind him!"

"Those with pagers received the message in time and immediately ran away, escaping disaster!"

"The other one didn't get the news in time because he was out partying at a nightclub all night. The Tuo Di brothers couldn't find him, and by the time they found him, he was already a corpse!"

"If it's filmed well, it can both serve as a warning to young people in Hong Kong and leave a lasting impression on the audience about that pager!"

"They can even shout slogans like, 'If a big shot can't even afford to buy a pager for one of his key underlings, what kind of gang are they? They might as well just go home and retire!'"

"You're forcing those triad bosses in Hong Kong to bleed money!"

Huo Daheng was truly impressed and exclaimed, "You know what, those gangsters actually might buy pagers!"
