Before the 1980s, the department stores in Hong Kong were mainly large shopping malls. Their main customers were businessmen from the four major foreign companies in Hong Kong, foreign tourists, comprador tycoons, and elite employees.
Before 1978, Hong Kong was a completely different world for the poor and the rich. The bustling Central, Tsimshatsui and Castles Bay were not much different from the modern world.
As for the areas where a large number of commoners lived, such as the Mongols, Temple Street, and the areas in the outskirts of the city, they were completely civilian areas. They were dirty and messy, and there were many societies.
Wei Li was a professional manager with strong business skills. Most importantly, he understood the business environment in Hong Kong very well, so he quickly discovered the problem.
"If we set up a large number of 24-hour shops in the commoner district, what about safety? You know, there are a lot of club members there!”
"Leave this to me. Wei Li, I have more experience with them than you!”
"What you need to do now is to build up the real estate and department store channels. Later, I'll give you a big killing weapon!”
Bao Zeyang said with a smile.
"What great killing weapon?"
Wei Li looked at Bao Zeyang in surprise and asked hesitantly.
"I can't tell you now, but I can tell you that it's a very novel drink. It will definitely cause a trend between children and women!”
Bao Zeyang said with a smile. He was talking about Milk Tea!
Actually, Hong Kong had milk tea for a long time, but Hong Kong-style milk tea was different from the milk tea of the later generations!
In his previous life, Bao Zeyang had once joined a milk tea brand shop, but it had failed in the end. However, he was very clear about the things inside.
If everything went as planned, bubble tea would only be invented ten years later. There was definitely a potential market in Hong Kong now.
The most important thing about this drink was that it was cheap enough to give the public another choice of drink besides soda, especially women and children.
Wei Li pondered for a moment and then said,""Cesare, I don't know if your judgment is right, but you're the major shareholder now. The strength of the King of Boats and your performance in Nine Dragon Warehouse make me believe you this once!”
"Three years. I'm willing to work with you at Hehuang for another three years. If Hehuang doesn't meet my expectations after three years, please allow me to leave!”
Wei Li said in a deep voice.
Bao Zeyang smiled." Don't worry, Wei Li. In less than three years, you will know what kind of great existence we are building!"”
Originally, Bao Zeyang had planned to sell He Huang, for example, to Li Cucumber, to earn a profit.
However, after looking at the information on Hehuang's company, Bao Zeyang changed his mind.
It was no wonder that Li Huanggua had risen so quickly in his previous life. In 1978, Li Huanggua's assets were at most a billion, and his Changjiang Industry's market value was less than 700 million.
However, in his previous life, by 1986, his company had already become the top ten financial groups in Hong Kong.
Although he had outstanding business talent, it was undeniable that He Huang had left behind a good foundation.
Therefore, Bao Zeyang changed his mind. He could sell the pier, but he had to keep Hehuang!
A hundred-year-old brand was still very valuable.
After the discussion with Wei Li, the two of them sorted out their future development direction. Bao Zeyang did not hesitate to do residential real estate.
In the early days, Huainan's strength was not as good as Jardine, so he took a lot of land, and the location was not as good as Wharf.
Bao Zeyang was considering making high-end commercial real estate on the land of Nine Dragon Warehouse.
Naturally, Hehuang's land would be used for residential real estate.
In reality, Li Huangguo did the same in his previous life. In 1984, he changed the nature of the land used for the largest Huangpu dock under the Yellow River into residential buildings. Then, he built the largest residential garden district in Nine Dragons.
In two years, this piece of land had given Li Huanggua a profit of more than six billion. This was six billion in the 1980s!
There was a ready-made template here. It was impossible for Bao Zeyang not to know how to copy homework!
After settling Wei Li, Bao Zeyang left Huchison Whampoa. He Huang had been under Wei Li's management for so many years, so settling Wei Li was equivalent to settling the management of Huchison Whampoa.
However, Bao Zeyang wouldn't just hand He Huang over to Wei Li. Now, he was trying to pull Wei Li over to his side. Bao Zeyang would definitely have some means to balance him.
But overall, Wei Li was still a very capable professional manager.
After He Huang left, Bao Zeyang went to Yang Wei Martial Arts School to see how his bodyguards were doing.
Secondly, he was here to play with the wooden dummy and meet someone at night!
In the dojo, Chen Zhen and the others had not returned yet. Bao Zeyang had specially gotten four cars for them to practice driving all day long. Moreover, it was not enough to just practice driving. They had to at least become experienced drivers.
In the middle of the dojo, Zhao Qiankun was chatting with Bao Zeyang. Zhao Qiankun had already noticed that as long as he did not put on airs and play with his seniority, Bao Zeyang was a very easy person to get along with.
"By the way, Master Zhao, I heard that there is an underground boxing ring in the Walled City.”
Bao Zeyang asked Zhao Qiankun curiously.
When Zhao Qiankun heard this, his expression changed slightly. He said with a bitter smile,"Ah Yang, do you want to practice underground boxing?”
"It's not to the extent of fighting underground. I just want to go in and take a look if there's an underground boxing competition!”
Bao Zeyang said with a smile.
The Walled City of Nine Dragons was a no-man's land. The reason for this was that when the Gweilos signed the treaty with the Manchu Dynasty, this piece of land was not included.
Therefore, legally speaking, this piece of land had nothing to do with the Ghostly Guys. The laws of Hong Kong did not apply there, and the Hong Kong police would not enforce the law there.
After that, it became a gathering place for many illegal immigrants and criminals. After all, as long as they hid in the Walled City, the Hong Kong police would not be able to arrest them because they did not have the power to enforce the law.
After Bao Zeyang came in this life, he had not gone in to take a look. Now, he was somewhat interested.
In his previous life, he had read some novels about Hong Kong, and they all described it as a gathering place for underground experts.
"It's a place where a group of bitter people struggle to survive.”
Zhao Qiankun shook his head with a sigh and then continued helplessly,"If you really want to go, I have a junior brother over there. He has some power.”
"However, human lives are as cheap as grass in there. It's different from the outside world. There's no law.”
To put it bluntly, they were all outlaws. Who cared about you, some noble young master!
At this moment, a black car stopped at the entrance of the dojo. Then, the short Axe Jun walked in silently.
"Just in time, Master Zhao. I'll borrow the arena in your backyard for a while!”
Bao Zeyang saw Axe Jun walk in, then put down his teacup and said softly.
