First, throw out ten million, giving one to my brother and one to Hua Zi, and let them decide how to distribute it.
As for the director, Xing Baohua asked Hua Zi to invite Wang Pang to take charge.
This publicity campaign felt like a joke. They filmed multiple versions, some of which involved ordering food online using a laptop while filming.
The entire film crew was seen ordering food, and a large group of cyclists, wearing orange vests and orange bicycle helmets, were seen heading towards the Shaw Brothers studio.
The final screen showed a website address and a message: "Order food with just a few taps while sitting in front of your computer!"
The most outrageous advertisement was that food ordered from Kowloon Island would be delivered to Lamma Island.
The riders had it tough, having to cross the sea by ferry and race along mountain roads. They even had to compete against a group of cyclists.
Finally, after delivering it to the customer, he roared, "Please, from now on, order food from restaurants near Lamma Island. Do you know how hard it was for me to come all the way from Kowloon Island?"
The actor who played the delivery rider was the same one who later became an international star, and also the early Poison Star.
Hong Kong's two television stations are constantly updating their advertisements featuring different actors. Even newspapers are publishing links to food delivery services.
As long as you have internet access and a computer, you can order food without leaving home.
Despite the overwhelming amount of advertising, many people still have complaints.
You need a computer and internet access just to eat a meal, but those things don't cost money! With the money to buy a computer and pay for internet access, you could just call and have food delivered every day and eat for a year.
The advertisements were released, and the number of shops and merchants increased by one or two per day.
But the number of customers is really small.
After all, the submarine fiber optic cable was just completed, and Hong Kong hasn't yet widely rolled out its client-side rollout. Even many companies with computers might not know how this network works.
Huahong Telecom is currently training network connection technicians.
Xing Baohua felt that instead of waiting for customers to come to him, it was better to take the initiative.
So they asked Huahong Telecom to send him the account opening promotion plan.
After looking at it, Xing Baohua tossed it aside. Normally, opening an account and paying the account opening fee would be fine. But now, during the promotional period, the priority is to accumulate customers and build a certain customer base before ditching those pitfalls.
Then, Xing Baohua wrote on a piece of paper: Open an account and receive generous gifts: 1. 1000 H coins for the account opening fee, deducted upon account opening. 2. 1000 H coins for the system installation fee, deducted upon account opening. 3. 6 months of free internet access, worth 1800 H coins.
We need customers to generate subsequent profits. So the initial trial is free and doesn't cost much.
The only expenses the company incurred were for optical modem equipment and switches.
Some companies don't just have one or two computers, but many, which requires switches and the like.
Huahong Telecom is giving away so many gifts; one could understand a large and established company like that, but what about a newly opened food delivery company?
Although the richest man himself was in charge, the fact that he gave away computers and internet access to businesses left many people puzzled.
Some people want to imitate him and see how Xing Baohua starts a new company.
So I did some research.
The survey results were surprising: there were very few merchants, very few orders, and they were even giving away computers worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Do you even know how many restaurants there are in Hong Kong? Even if you have mountains of gold and silver, you can't afford to give them away like this! I seriously suspect that Xing Baohua is indirectly promoting his rice-based computers?
Those conducting research couldn't see Xing Baohua's intentions in doing this. They first discussed it in small groups, and even invited market analysts and economic analysts to participate.
After much discussion, the results were reported in the financial newspapers, sparking a nationwide discussion. Let everyone speculate whether Asia's richest man is losing money to gain publicity or has other motives.
What Xing Baohua did has nothing to do with ordinary people! Ordinary people just watch the show.
If more than 50% of the public uses online payment, then Xing Baohua's business will take off.
In the early stages of development, everything is difficult at the beginning.
In just over a week, more than two million H coins have been spent, most of which were on computers and other equipment.
Despite the many jokes about him in the newspapers, saying that he also makes mistakes, it shows that Xing Baohua is still just an ordinary person. It's perfectly normal for him to fail in his investments. How can you expect to make all the money if you only succeed?
Spend money?
How can you determine market value without spending money? Investment and future returns need to be included in the report.
This way, the books will look better. If Xing Baohua were to sell his shares now, the valuation would be around 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and there would be quite a few people interested in buying them.
Ignoring the nagging experts, Xing Baohua focused on getting the food delivery company on track and developing it gradually. He planned to acquire it from a catering company in a few months.
It went public through a reverse takeover.
Of course, before going public, all the necessary investments should be secured. Private equity, venture capital, angel investors, and so on should all be brought in.
The more investors the better, and the bigger the business will gradually become.
A money-burning project shouldn't burn through your own resources. Besides, the freed-up funds can be used for other things.
The company was completely handed over to the secretary to manage. In the early stages, there was nothing to worry about; just follow the route set by Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua then went to the software park. With the network in place, the supporting software also needed to be gradually improved.
To avoid social media, Xing Baohua created a social forum.
There's an online chat room on the social forum.
To avoid consuming computer hard drive space, we had to develop an online mode, concentrating all the pressure on our own server.
While we're at it, let's also promote the security management software.
Have the software park employees create the webpage template so that it can be directly used when developing forums in the future.
Xing Baohua knew there were many business opportunities here, but he didn't say anything.
