Ahua said, "Brother Dong, I want to build a Tengfei instant noodle factory in the north to facilitate transportation."
Shen Dong said, "We'll discuss this after the meeting. Jimmy, what's the situation with the clothing and shoe factories?"
Jimmy said, "Total sales this month are HK$162 million. Based on the principle of small profits and quick turnover, our profit is only HK$43 million, and our market share in the mainland is 15 percent."
Shen Dong asked, "What do you think of Tengfei's high-end clothing?"
Jimmy smiled wryly, "Not good. We only sold 13 million, mostly from Hong Kong. The mainland is still too poor; most people can't afford high-end clothing."
Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "No need to rush. This is due to social reasons, and has nothing to do with our product. Are there any other questions?"
Jimmy said, "Like Brother Hua, even if we add ten more production lines, we still can't meet market demand."
Shen Dong said, "We'll talk about it later. Xiao Ma, it's your turn."
Little Ma said proudly, "My side is much better than Ah Dong and Ah Hua's, with profits exceeding 60 million."
Jimmy laughed and cursed, "Damn it, what kind of world is this? We business people don't even earn as much as those women."
Little Ma said, "How about we switch places? I'll be in charge of the clothing company, and you can run the bars, KTVs, and nightclubs?"
Jimmy quickly replied, "No need, I still prefer real business."
Shen Dong asked, "Xiao Ma, do you have any problems with management?"
Little Ma said, "Brother Dong, my good results are mainly thanks to Achan. Should we give her a share?"
Shen Dong raised an eyebrow and said, "The share issue is easy to discuss. What I want to know is, after all this time, have you won her over?"
"Waaah..."
Upon hearing this, everyone started to jeer.
Little Ma touched his nose and said, "It'll be soon."
Ahua said, "You said the same thing last month, and you said the same thing last month. Xiao Ma, I really want to know, how long exactly do you mean by those two words, 'faster'?"
Little Ma immediately retorted, "Brother Hua, you should sort out your cousin first before you talk to me."
"Pfft"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Shen Dong said, "We must reward talented people. Xiao Ma, what is her current monthly salary?"
Little Ma said, "Around fifty thousand."
Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "The profit of Bihai Nightclub is about 40 million, so let's give her 0.5% of that, which is 200,000 per month."
Little Ma said happily, "Thank you, Brother Dong."
Shen Dong said, "Thank me properly after you've won her over. Ah Hao, what about you over there?"
Song Zihao succinctly stated, "I made about 46 million, but it's all in the stock market and futures."
Shen Dong pondered for a moment and said, "The economic situation in the United States is not good, and there is a risk of a financial crisis. You need to withdraw all your money within a month."
Song Zihao nodded and said, "No problem."
The plane said, "It's my turn. Our total income from protection fees, parking fees, and other miscellaneous sources is 12.6 million."
Shen Dong solemnly said, "Airplane, my requirement remains the same: no bullying of small vendors, and no presence of heroin in any venue."
The plane patted its chest and said, "Brother Dong, don't worry."
Shen Dong nodded and looked at Wei Jixiang.
Wei Jixiang said, "Brother Dong, our taxi company's profit is only around five million. I heard that the Transportation Department is going to auction off a thousand license plates, with a starting price of three hundred thousand. If we can get these license plates, then the taxi company's monthly profit will exceed twenty-five million."
In the future, the highest price for a taxi license plate on Hong Kong Island could reach seven million Hong Kong dollars. Even if a license plate costs seven hundred thousand, Shen Dong could still make a fortune.
"How many people are interested in taxi license plates?" Shen Dong asked.
Wei Jixiang said, "There are many. Everyone knows that taxis can make money. I know of more than 20 companies."
Ahua said, "The current Director of the Transportation Department is named Luo Zhan, and he's a young and promising individual. If we can get on his good side, getting a thousand license plates will be no problem at all."
Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "A Xiang, go and check Luo Zhan's background. I need his detailed information."
Wei Jixiang nodded and said, "No problem."
Shen Dong looked at Feng Yuxiu and asked, "Yuxiu, what's the situation at the martial arts school?"
Feng Yuxiu said embarrassedly, "Besides our own brothers, very few outsiders are willing to come and learn martial arts."
Six months ago, Shen Dong bought a three-story building and renovated it into a martial arts school, which was managed by three kung fu masters: Feng Yuxiu, Xiahou Wu, and Wang Zhe.
So far, they have earned a total of 150,000, but their expenses have reached more than one million, resulting in a huge loss.
Shen Dong laughed and said, "True kung fu is for those who are destined to learn it. You don't need to go out and do any marketing; they can come or not, it's up to them. I will personally cover all expenses from now on. You just need to teach the brothers some practical kung fu."
Feng Yuxiu nodded and said, "The three of us have compiled a set of simple and easy-to-learn fist and sword techniques, which we are currently teaching to our brothers."
Shen Dong said, “Very good. There are many triads in Hong Kong now, and strong forces are our security guarantee. I built this martial arts school not to make money, but because I hope that when people have nothing to do, they can go to the martial arts school to practice more, so that they won’t be unable to beat their opponents in a fight in the future.”
"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. Xiao Ma, is lunch ready?"
Little Ma said, "It's been prepared for a long time."
Shen Dong waved his hand and laughed, "Let's drink!"
"yeah..."
The crowd cheered in unison.
After a satisfying meal, Shen Dong kept Ahua and Jimmy behind to discuss building a factory in the north.
"Have you thought about where to build the factory?" Shen Dong asked.
Ahua said, "I think Qingniao is the best place, and Jimmy thinks Zhengzhou is the best place."
Upon hearing this, Shen Dong couldn't help but laugh.
Those two guys have a really sharp eye.
In their previous lives, both Qingniao and Zhengzhou were among the top ten cities in the north.
With convenient transportation and a developed economy, buying land there in advance is definitely a good choice.
Jimmy asked, "Brother Dong, where do you think is the best place for us to build our factory?"
Shen Dong said, "I think both places are quite good. However, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. You should each go to Qingniao and Zhengzhou to investigate thoroughly and write a report for me, including your plans for the future."
Ahua and Jimmy exchanged a glance and said at the same time, "No problem."
Shen Dong said, "As for the money, that's easy to handle. I plan to mortgage all the houses in Pengcheng to the bank, and after getting the loan, I'll build the factory immediately. Remember, buy as much factory land as you can. I don't understand economics, but I know one thing: with the development of the inland areas, land in these big cities will become extremely valuable. You could say that whoever owns the land controls the future."
