But Wang Dawei has no money now.
Sometimes having ideas isn't enough; you also need to take action.
Sometimes he wonders when he'll be noticed by a big boss who will invest in his ideas and help him start a company.
When Wang Dawei wanted to start such a company, there were already people who had done so before him.
These companies make their fortunes by smuggling goods between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, operating clandestinely as customs smugglers, and are known as "rat gangs."
This group of pyramid schemes, which were looked down upon by others, later became huge companies that people cannot do without.
For example: SF Express, STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, ZJS Express...
at this time.
A group of pyramid scheme members used small speedboats to shuttle between the docks in Hong Kong and the mainland late at night.
If you're lucky, you can earn in one night what others earn in a month or even several months.
On the dock.
A man dressed simply, with prominent cheekbones, a thin face, medium height, and a crew cut, seemed unremarkable among the workers. However, his eyes seemed to be coldly scrutinizing those around him, and he had a desire to try working on his own.
This person is one of the key figures that Chen Dong cannot afford to miss out on, representing a huge business opportunity.
He is also known as Wang Dawei, the future head of SF Express, whose net worth exceeds 160 billion yuan and whose company has a market value of hundreds of billions.
Even in later generations, Wang Dawei rarely appeared in public.
He was low-key and unassuming, yet he attracted the attention of Hong Kong paparazzi who went undercover for years just to catch a glimpse of him.
Before his company went public, he never brought in strategic investors.
American Citibank offered a $10 million brokerage fee just for a chance to work together.
He was also the person Jack Ma met twice and whom he called the person he admired most.
Wang Dawei commands an army of 200,000 fierce warriors, whose employees are far superior in quality to their peers.
Wang Dawei, a man who quietly developed his career, later became the head of a leading express delivery company, which greatly intrigued Chen Dong.
Because this is a person who gets things done!
We've arrived at our destination.
Xiang Huaqiang opened the car door for Chen Dong and pointed inside.
"Boss, the person you're looking for is right there."
Wang Dawei remains an enigma to later generations.
Finding him will not be easy.
He doesn't care about money or fame, and he doesn't leave the country. The things he does in a high-profile manner are beyond the reach of his peers.
But as the saying goes, snakes have their ways, and rats have theirs.
Chen Dong instructed Xiang Huaqiang's men to search for targets similar to Wang Dawei one by one.
As it turns out, his hard work paid off, and he actually found it.
"Wait here for me, I'll be right back."
"boss!"
Wolong let out a cry.
Chen Dong waved his hand, not paying any attention.
at this time.
Star Ferry Pier
A salty sea breeze blew gently in.
Even in his youth, Wang Dawei's forehead bore the marks of time.
His dark complexion held a depth unlike that of his peers.
Although Wang Dawei is only in his twenties, eight years of heavy physical labor is no joke, and with all the wind and rain he does every day, he looks like he is in his thirties or forties.
Among the workers, Wang Dawei did not stand out much.
However, his eyes were very bright, giving him a sharp look, and Chen Dong recognized him at a glance.
"Dawei".
Following the sound, Wang Dawei looked back.
A handsome young man, Chen Dong was different from the others here. He dressed very carefully, with fair skin and delicate features, and looked like he had never suffered.
After confirming with his eyes, Wang Dawei was certain that he had never seen Chen Dong before, but he still responded, fearing that he was a merchant brought in to promote his products.
Hello, who are you?
The answer he received was Chen Dong's outstretched hand.
The two shook hands and once again realized that Chen Dong was different from the other bosses they had met before.
The business owners who came to them to do business were all arrogant and haughty. There were people like Chen Dong who would extend their hands to greet them, but Wang Dawei had never met anyone like that.
"My name is Chen Dong. I apologize for the intrusion."
Wang Dawei grinned and said, "Mr. Chen, what can I do for you? If it's about selling products, I'm afraid that's not an option right now, the checks are too strict."
Chen Dong smiled upon hearing this and pointed to a spot not far away. "Could you walk with me for a bit? There's something else I'd like to talk to you about."
Wang Dawei thought to himself, "I'm a grown man, and this young man in front of me looks so delicate and fair-skinned, how could he possibly rob me?" So he nodded and said okay.
"Your name is Wang Dawei, right?"
"Um."
Wang Dawei nodded again, and Chen Dong smiled and said, "I heard your name from somewhere else. They said you have connections. Actually, my visit this time was quite abrupt, but I think we should meet and hear your thoughts."
As he spoke, Chen Dong handed him a cigarette.
"Give me one."
"No, no need."
Chen Dong didn't mind, after all, they weren't that close yet. He took out his lighter, lit the cigarette, took a deep drag, exhaled the bluish smoke, and continued speaking.
"I'll be frank, I actually want to start a 'pyramid scheme'."
Wang Dawei looked at Chen Dong with surprise and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean???"
Chen Dong nodded with a smile and said firmly, "I want to start a Ponzi scheme with you. Of course! I'll just provide the money, and you'll provide the manpower and manage the scheme."
Why me?
Wang Dawei suppressed his excitement; there's no such thing as a free lunch.
He was no longer the naive newbie he used to be.
