No one is better at making grand promises than Chu Yu, and the ability to convince investors of those promises is Chu Yu's skill.
Long Cheng and Yu Xiangwen had no objections, especially Long Cheng, who was impatient to listen to lectures and attend meetings here.
After hastily concluding the meeting, Chu Yu took this uncooperative bigwig to climb the Great Wall and visit various historical and cultural sites.
Long Cheng and Yu Xiangwen had never been to these places before, so they were all quite new to them. Long Cheng, in particular, would show off his twin swords at every tourist spot, striking a cool martial arts pose.
I don't know how this person managed to bring the twin swords to the mainland.
"Be careful not to get taken in by the police for questioning. We can't bring controlled knives into mainland China."
Long Cheng expressionlessly tucked his twin swords into his pants.
The two of them were practically ruthless check-in machines, yet they were also in great physical condition. They would set off at seven or eight in the morning and play until ten at night without getting tired. Chu Yu's feet were covered in blisters, but the two of them seemed completely unaffected.
When Long Cheng saw that she had a band-aid on her foot, he looked down on her, which really ignited Chu Yu's competitive spirit. She gritted her teeth and acted as their local guide for three days, accompanying them through the streets and alleys of Beijing.
Chu Yu never wants to experience this special forces-style tourism again.
Fortunately, four days later, Longcheng received news that someone had caused trouble at Xinyicheng's gathering, smashed up the venue, and injured dozens of brothers, resulting in heavy losses.
"These bastards! They knew I was away and deliberately caused trouble. I'll make them pay back double what they've swallowed!"
Yu Xiangwen's expression remained unchanged; even at this moment, he still wore a smile.
"Miss Zhou, I'm afraid we should go back."
Chu Yu nodded. "Do you want me to help you buy plane tickets?"
"No need, our itinerary is arranged by a specialist, so you don't need to worry about it."
“Then you must be careful in everything,” Chu Yu paused and said, “Hong Kong will be returned to China sooner or later. When the mainland takes over Hong Kong, the city’s security will definitely be aligned with that of the mainland. At that time, the government will not tolerate the existence of gangs. Moreover, with the development of society, the things that gangs can do now are gradually being phased out. It is impossible to make a lot of money by relying on these businesses now.”
Yu Xiangwen was not unaware of these things, but under Long Cheng's leadership, Xinyi City had grown and expanded, and now had at least 100,000 followers.
This is no small amount.
If Xinyicheng wants to support so many brothers, they must have their own businesses. They must not be involved in gambling, loan sharking, or selling things that cannot be sold. How can they make money to support their brothers?
“We collaborated with Hualai on a film, using thousands of our brothers as extras, just to find a way out.”
A film company needs thousands of employees. Opening a film company can make money, solve the gang's employment problem, and also make money flow through the system. It is indeed a good idea.
"Perhaps in your eyes, gambling and loan sharking are the most profitable businesses. However, with social progress, some emerging industries, such as the internet, chips, trams, and pharmaceuticals, are very profitable, even more so than gambling and loan sharking. I know that Xinyicheng's connections extend to all major industries in Hong Kong, and Xinyicheng can influence the direction of Hong Kong society. But sometimes, as the tide of society surges forward, everyone is extremely insignificant. You think Xinyicheng can exist forever, but in fact, the space for Xinyicheng to survive will only be compressed smaller and smaller."
Yu Xiangwen became serious for once, and his usual smile disappeared from his face.
He knew that it was no easy feat for Chu Yu to say such things; big shots like them rarely heard the truth anymore.
Even if you could tell the truth, who would advise gangsters to stop being gangsters?
Wouldn't it be ridiculous to say that?
After the two boarded the plane, Yu Xiangwen frowned and looked at Long Cheng, "Boss, what do you think of what you said to her?"
Longcheng knew that as society progressed, it would become increasingly difficult for organized crime to operate. However, right now was the golden age for organized crime. He was making a lot of money from each of his factories, with money flowing in like water. Even if he agreed to quit organized crime now, his gang members would not.
"If I don't become a big shot, I'll be hacked to death tomorrow and left to rot in the streets."
"Yes, we had no choice either. But what she said makes sense. After Hong Kong's return to China, the situation was beyond our control. She had a better understanding of the situation than we did."
"Let's take it one step at a time! We still have ten years. Let's plan slowly and take it slow. Let's do our best to settle our brothers down and make sure everyone has food to eat and a good life."
Yu Xiangwen nodded, pondering Chu Yu's words repeatedly.
This woman is young, beautiful, and exceptionally intelligent.
Back then, Long Cheng kidnapped Zhong Buyi and the others to make a movie, and he persuaded Chu Yu to agree. Now it seems that it was indeed the right decision.
He had a feeling that this cosmetics company, in which they had invested five million, would give them returns beyond their expectations.
He watched with bated breath, a strange sense of anticipation creeping in. He wanted to see what tricks this woman could pull and how Mandarin would develop under her control.
After seeing Longcheng and Yu Xiangwen off, Chu Yu focused on arranging the construction of the factory.
The factory blueprints have already been drawn up. Building a factory is not difficult. As long as the material approvals are sufficient, it can be built in less than three months.
Chu Yu focused more on establishing the laboratory than on building the factory.
A cosmetics company's laboratory is divided into two parts: research and development and quality control.
The research and development lab needs equipment such as centrifuges, balances, mixers, and testing instruments.
The quality control room needs foam testers, pH meters and the like. These days, relying solely on manual labor is too inefficient. Chu Yu thought that if they could establish a semi-automated laboratory, it would give their R&D a fundamental lead over other brands.
She wanted to use a computer to record data.
Computers were her specialty, and when Liu Mingchuan heard that Chu Yu wanted to buy a computer, he immediately looked down on her.
"You think the quality of a lab depends on its equipment? All this talk about computers and stuff, machines can never replace hands and brains. All this work is useless and doesn't help research at all!"
