The weather in Hong Kong in March was already very warm. Most people had already started to rest at midnight, but there were still some people who were in a state of excitement. Hong Kong Central, the city center of Hong Kong. Although it was already late at night, neon lights could still be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Dragon Movie was already closed for business, but through the faint light that could be seen through the crack in the door, one could tell that the owner of this place was still awake.
Through the light, Long Zai Tian could be seen sitting on a chair with a mobile phone in his hand. He crossed his legs and one of his legs was swinging up and down happily. Long Zai Tian had just finished the day's revenue statistics and was talking to his parents on the mobile phone.
"Dad! You can't imagine it, haha! Today, the income from watching videos in the video hall alone was more than 30,000 yuan. Including the income from renting and buying videos, as well as selling drinks, snacks, posters, and so on, today's total income reached about 45,000 yuan, hehe!”Long Zaitian's excitement had yet to subside. Earning 40,000 yuan a day was not a small amount. The average monthly income in Hong Kong was only 1,000 yuan. Long Zaitian and the others had opened a small video hall and a fast food restaurant. They did not invest much and did not have any technical content. If business was so good every day, a restaurant could earn close to 10 million yuan a year. In this era, it was already a very high income level.
"Ah! So many!" Long Tianguo obviously didn't expect Long Zaitian and the others to have such good business on their first day in Hong Kong. The county he was in charge of only had an annual income of two million yuan. It seemed that his son was a business genius. It was right to let him go to Hong Kong to gamble.
After hanging up the phone, Long Tianguo told Mother Dong about Long Zaitian's situation. His entire person seemed to have suddenly become cheerful and lively. He said proudly,"I knew that our Xiao Tian would be successful no matter what he does. As long as he was given a chance, he would immediately show his ability.”
Not to mention that Father Long's wish for his son to inherit his father's career had been broken, Long Zai Tian's Dragon Movie business was still booming in the next few days. Moreover, the number of people renting videos had also begun to expand, and the proportion of students among them had begun to increase.
It was Sunday, and it was only 10:30 in the morning, but there were already dozens of teenagers waiting in the Dragon Movie and Video." Brother Tian, when will you start playing the video? It's Sunday today, so you should play a few more scenes. Can you play more exciting ones for us?" I've introduced many friends to watch the video.”A fatty with pimples all over his face said to Long Zai Tian.
Long Zai Tian knew this fatty. His name was Chu Yuan. His parents had given him a very forward-looking name. The longer he grew, the rounder he became. Little Fatty Chu lived nearby. Long Zaitian's video store had only been open for less than a week, but he was already a regular customer here. Every time, he had to ask Long Zaitian to show him erotic films.
Long Zai Tian rolled his eyes at Fatty and said disdainfully,""Little Fatty Chu, your hair hasn't even grown out yet, and you're already looking at exciting things every day. Be careful that Little Fatty won't be able to eat meat before he becomes weak. Aren't you worried that you'll really become a virgin?”
Before Chu Yuan could say anything, his friend burst out laughing. Hah! Hah! Little Fatty Chu, you look very good!"
Fatty Chu's face turned red as he shouted,""Don't call me Little Fatty Chu. If you call me that again, I'll fall out with you.”
"Alright, Little Fatty Chu." Long Zai Tian stopped smiling and said with a serious face," Alright, big shots and handsome guys, you can buy tickets to enter the venue.”
Although Chu Yuan was resentful, he could not do anything to Long Zai Tian. He could only obediently buy tickets to enter. Today was Sunday, and there were many students who came to watch the video. During the day, every theater had three performances and every one was full. Long Zai Tian had no choice but to add one more performance during the day. However, at night, there were actually more students than during the day. Some people who were tired of waiting began to jeer.
"Boss, extra seats! You keep making us wait here. Do you still want to do business?”
Long Zai Tian could only stand up and comfort him,""Big shots, I'm sorry! Sorry everyone, my shop is only this big, and it's already full. Why don't you rent a few discs and bring your girls home to watch? Of course, in order to repay everyone's love, we will show one more scene in each hall tonight.”
Long Zaitian finally calmed down the crowd of people who were making a ruckus. He sat down at the counter and sighed,""Sigh! It's too damn tiring. Should I recruit a few more people? I have seven or eight people here. I'm tired and can't do it. I'll call Brother Qing tonight and ask him to find a few candidates for me.”
Long Zai Tian was in pain and happy at the same time. He was so busy every day that his feet didn't touch the ground. He could only rest late at night every day. He felt that he was the most hard-working person in the history of transmigration to earn money. However, the hard work also paid off. In this week, the daily revenue of Long Teng Video could reach an average of more than 10,000 yuan. Even on a Sunday like today, when students were resting, the revenue exceeded 50,000 yuan.
That night, Long Zaitian called Ah Qing." Brother Qing, I'm too busy with a few people in my shop right now. I want to invite seven or eight people. Do you have any acquaintances to introduce me to?"”..
"Xiaotian, do you have any specific requests?" Ah Qing asked.”
"The people who watch the videos here are all men. They also play erotic videos, so the people I hire must be men. As long as they are not over 4U years old, I think they are fine. The working hours are relatively long, almost every day until 2 pm.”Long Zai Tian stated his request.
"Good! I'll ask around in the next few days."
"Thank you, Brother Qing!"
Two days later in the morning, Ah Qing brought a man to Long Zai Tian's shop. He looked to be about 30 years old with a crew cut. After entering the shop, he looked around and stood straight behind Ah Qing. Long Zai Tian stood up and greeted Ah Qing,""Brother Qing, you're here. This is?”
"Xiao Tian, this Ge is Jiang Jianguo. He just came from the mainland not long ago. Brother Sen introduced him through an agent.”Ah Qing introduced Long Zai Tian.
"Hello, Boss Long. I'm Jiang Jianguo.”Jiang Jianguo bowed slightly to Long Zaitian and spoke in a somewhat awkward Cantonese.
After Long Zaitian invited the two of them to sit down, he said to Jiang Jianguo,""Don't call me boss. You're older than me, so just call me Ah Tian. Is there a problem with Brother Jiang hearing Cantonese? Can you do it in traditional Chinese writing?"
Jiang Jianguo looked a little nervous and stuttered,""Boss Long, I've been in Hong Kong for half a month. I can communicate in Cantonese without any problems.”
"Mhm, do you have a Hong Kong identification card now?”
"Boss, don't worry. When I first arrived in Hong Kong, Brother Sen already helped me with my ID card.”
Long Zai Tian continued to ask,"So what do you do in the mainland? Do you have any relatives there?"?”
"I used to be in the army. I recovered at the beginning of this year. I have three younger brothers and sisters at home.”
After hearing Jiang Jianguo's words, Long Zaitian said,""Oh? You just recovered this year, and you're going to the battlefield?”
According to Long Zaitian's memories from his previous life, due to the relationship between China and the United Kingdom in the future, the Hong Kong British government's control over the underworld would gradually weaken. By the late 1980s, Hong Kong's public security was already very poor. Even Li Ka-shing's son was kidnapped, and there were rumors in the film industry that famous actors were pointed at guns to film. If Long Zaitian wanted to expand his business, a certain security force was essential. It was too troublesome to rely on his own strength and support clubs. The retired soldiers from the mainland were undoubtedly a good choice. Although it was still a little early to consider these things, the appearance of Jiang Jianguo undoubtedly provided an opportunity for him to build a security force in the future.
Jiang Jianguo glanced at Long Zaitian and said,""Yes, I have."
Long Zaitian saw that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't rush to ask. Instead, he talked about the work situation in the shop." Brother Jiang, you've been in the army and on the battlefield. You might be more hot-blooded, but I hope that if you work here, you can keep your hot-blooded. The people watching the video here are more complicated. I don't want my place to become a battlefield, do you understand?”
"Understood, Boss. I won't do anything without your permission.”
"Alright, just call me Ah Tian from now on. We'll be living in another shop. There's no holiday at the moment, and we have to work at least until 23 o'clock every day. The salary will start at 1,500, and I'll increase it depending on the situation. We'll pay you on the last day of the month. If there's no problem, you can come to work tomorrow and find a few comrades to help.”
After Jiang Jianguo and the other eight or nine comrades arrived, Long Zaitian and the others were indeed much more relaxed. Moreover, the barbecue fast food restaurant also became popular. By the end of April, Long Zaitian's Longteng Video Recording Hall had a stable customer base in the surrounding area. The business began to stabilize, and the daily revenue was stable at around 50,000 yuan. Long Zaitian was already considering expanding his video store and fast food restaurant as soon as possible to seize the opportunity.
