Hong Kong Island Old Events

Ni Kun slowed down the pace of pulling the cart and said in surprise: "Yes, Boss He."

He was not surprised that his boss would know, but he was surprised that his boss would ask him. He Dingxian sat in the car, crossed his legs, and smiled: "Congratulations."

"It's all thanks to the boss." Ni Kun said sincerely: "If there was no boss, how could I, a coachman, pay the starting salary?"

He Dingxian nodded slightly: "It's a good thing for a man to have a family and a career. The burden on you will be heavier in the future, so you must work hard..."

Ni Kun was excited when he heard this and said decisively: "I must do things well for the boss."

"Remember to invite me when the wedding banquet is held. You must go whenever you are free. I will pay for the sedan team that day." He Dingxian said angrily: "I will add another pig to you!"

In these years, it was popular to use sedan chairs for weddings in Hong Kong. There were specialized sedan companies to handle them. Ordinary families would only have one sedan, while wealthy families would start with six.

Some people who like ostentation will even use eight large sedan chairs to bang, suona and firecrackers all the way, making it really lively.

On the wedding day, the groom will bring a live pig to the bride's house for her parents' family to entertain guests.

Of course, a poor family can buy their daughter for a few hundred Hong Kong dollars. Marrying someone who works in a company is considered a high-achieving job. Car drivers like Ni Kun work on the street to earn food and work as coolies. How can they have the money to hire a carriage team when they get married? Yu quickly refused: "It doesn't cost the boss any money. I've made an appointment with a few brothers and they will pick up my bride in a car when the time comes..."

He Dingxian frowned, feeling quite unhappy: "Do you want others to point at you and scold you behind your back, saying you are a cart puller?"

Ni Kun's expression was stunned, and he opened his mouth and said: "It's good to pull the cart. I'm very happy to help the big boss pull the cart."

He Dingxian felt a little ashamed when he heard this. He moved his buttocks subconsciously and said softly: "The wedding day is different from usual. No matter how poor a person is, he must be beautiful on his wedding day. Otherwise, what else is there in life? mean?"

"Akun, since you are following me, I don't want you to be laughed at. Every brother works for me and is also my face. Go back and ask your brothers and sisters. If you don't like riding in a sedan, I will rent a fleet for you. "

There are already taxi services on Hong Kong Island, but the companies are all controlled by British capital and there is no official "taxi license".

Taxis only appear at the pier and in front of the hotel. To use a taxi in other places, you need to call the taxi company first.

China Bus in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Bus in Kowloon and the New Territories have also obtained special regional operating licenses.

But the difference between a taxi and a rickshaw is the difference between the lower class and the upper class.

One city, two lives.

The owner of Chunghwa Bus, "Yan Chengkun", has been a car dealer for his ancestors, and the business was very prosperous. Later, he saw the future of Zhonghua Bus and spent HK$340,000 in 2033 to win the bus franchise on Hong Kong Island.

Ngan's Sedan Co., Ltd. is still the largest sedan chair company in Hong Kong Island. Many ghosts like to ride in sedan chairs, carried by four bearers, to go to parks and mountain roads where cars are not easy to drive.

After listening to the big boss's words, Ni Kun was very moved. After being silent, he said: "The sedan is enough, boss."

"good."

"Remember it." He Dingxian replied softly, closed his eyes, and stopped paying attention. Ni Kun took him all the way to the dock, and then boarded the ship together. They came to Kowloon and continued to pull the cart until they arrived at the Dollar Store on Shanghai Street.

Counting on his fingers, he had been away from Shanghai Street for less than a week, and he would not feel any stranger when he came back. When he entered the dollar store, six or seven people wearing short shirts and playing cards turned around with shocked expressions on their faces. , quickly threw away the cards and stood up and shouted: "Boss."

"boss."

Hearing the sound, Lardboy pushed away from the office, his expression showed joy, and he said loudly: "Brother Xian, why are you here?"

He Dingxian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Let's see if you have a cold."

Lardboy touched his nose, then puffed up his chest proudly, and pretended to be brave in front of his brothers: "What's the point of going down to the Xiangjiang River? Is the shallow water enough for me to swim? I'm not bragging, there is a big boss pulling me on the shore, I can jump into the Pacific Ocean. I can swim back easily.”

"Don't pretend to be cool, who was crying that day?" He Dingxian didn't save any face for him. He broke the skin with just one sentence. All the brothers around him chuckled in unison, but the respect for his younger brother in his eyes didn't seem to be fake.

It's a lie to not be afraid of death if you are in the world of martial arts. You dare to stand up to him, which is worthy of admiration!

Lardboy immediately looked embarrassed and muttered: "Brother Xian, it's hard for me to take care of my brothers like this..."

"Every month I have good food and drink to feed myself, and the movie store pays me wages. Do I need you to take care of me?" The brothers laughed loudly when they heard this.

Lardboy glared at his brothers, asked the street boys to sit down and play cards, then invited the big boss into the room, served him a cup of tea, closed the door, and asked respectfully: "Brother Xian, why don't you come to see me?" What's up?"

He thought that the matter in Hong Kong Island was not over yet, but He Dingxian shook his head and said loudly: "I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see Qiu Degeng."

"You come to see Manager Qiu..." Lardboy sounded surprised, but his expression was not at all contemptuous: "I'll call someone for you."

"Wait a minute, how has Qiu Degeng been doing recently?" He Dingxian asked aloud. Lardboy didn't hide it and said cheerfully: "Do it honestly."

"The Yiyuan Store has Boss Shao's shares, but he doesn't have any shares. There is no need to embarrass us. We just check the accounts very carefully."

Lardboy muttered: "I'm very diligent in my work. I even help my wife wash the dishes after get off work."

He Dingxian nodded and said, "Ask him to come."

"Okay." Lardboy opened the door and went out. In less than two minutes, he brought people into the office. Qiu De, wearing a jacket and glasses, bowed and said hello with a somewhat restrained expression: "Boss He."

He Dingxian stood up on the chair and looked at him. Qiu De even avoided his eyes. He Dingxian knew that the other person was afraid of him from the bottom of his heart. He immediately laughed and said: "Boss Qiu, raise your head. I have something to talk to you about."

Qiu Degen raised his head stiffly, with a dark face full of life, which was different from the high-spirited one when they first met.

An entrepreneurial failure on Hong Kong Island had extremely serious consequences, which made Qiu De more aware of the difference between working and starting a business.

As for the fatigue and wrinkles on his face, they are nothing. He has been struggling at the bottom all his life and has worked hard to get here.

A little setback could neither defeat his ambition nor defeat a business tycoon who could build a fortune from scratch. However, the favor he owed to Boss Shao trapped him in the film company. If he stayed as a financial manager for the rest of his life, even if he suffered So what if you can afford food?

"Boss He, please tell me something." His voice was hoarse and a bit unpleasant. He Dingxian asked, "Are you interested in opening an accounting company?"

"Huh?" Qiu De was stunned and suspicious. It's not that easy to open an accounting firm. Firstly, he needs to take the formal accounting license exam, and secondly, he needs key business channels.

At present, there are only a few accounting firms on Hong Kong Island, and most of them are working at Ocean Bank. After all, who needs professional accountants except Ocean Bank?

There are too many people in Hong Kong who can calculate accounts. The accounting clerks of almost every business are very good at calculating accounts, and the accounting clerks of large businesses are even called "actuaries."

He Dingxian continued to ask: "I may have some accounts in Hong Kong Island and need professional accountants to help calculate and check them."

"In the future, there will be more and more of these accounts, and you may even need to hire a group of helpers. Instead of letting outsiders make all the money, it is better to introduce them to friends to make money."

He looked at the other party and said solemnly: "You did a good job in the accounting of the movie store. I think Boss Shao will let you be responsible for accounting. You have also learned to do accounting, and I am the owner of the movie store after all. You It’s true that you work for Boss Shao, and you are technically my employee, right?”

"Yes." Qiu De had to nod and admit: "My salary is paid by the company."

He Dingxian nodded: "You have been eating my food for a few months. Have you ever thought about doing something for me? By the way, you can also plan a way out."

"You are also my first opponent on the business road when I go out to do things. Although you are not experienced enough and have paid the price, I admire you. You can't be stuck in the dollar store for the rest of your life, right?"

Qiu De even laughed and said: "Thanks to Boss He for being so considerate, but I can't be called a rival. I just wanted to make some money at the time."

"Boss He, you can send the accounts over tonight. As for setting up an accounting firm, we'll talk about it later. I can't read English and can't pass the accounting certificate, but I can do something for Boss He."

He Dingxian nodded slightly: "For Boss Shao, you are just a chess piece arranged casually, responsible for watching over me, but if you are willing to follow me, you will still have a place to show your ambitions in the future. How do I treat my brothers? You usually also See it in your eyes.”

He poured a cup of tea on the table, turned around and handed it to Qiu Degeng, and said in a deep voice: "A cup of tea is enough for you to decide whether to follow me or not."

It doesn't take long for smart people to make choices, let alone choosing sides. Last time Qiu Degen made the wrong choice and almost lost his fortune and life. What will Qiu Degen choose this time?

His heart was throbbing and he was looking forward to it. He took the tea cup without hesitation, drank it in one gulp and said, "Mr. He, please tell me something."

He Dingxian patted him on the shoulder, laughed out loud and said: "Sheng Qiu, from now on we are all one of our own, I will have a lot of business for you to help with."

Fatty immediately piled up on Lard Boy's face. He happily helped Qiu Degen take the tea cup away. He turned around and said, "Boss Qiu, I'll rely on you to take care of me from now on."

With his shrewdness and slickness, he naturally knew that Qiu De would be reused. Taking down Qiu De was not only a nail for the movie store, but more importantly, the boss had high pursuits in business and needed people who could help him in business.

Lardboy thinks he doesn't have the courage to do big business, so he can only help his boss deal with things that are not on the table, but Qiu De is even different.

During this period, he opened his eyes to Qiu De. This guy is not a human, but a donkey! It's hard not to admire a picky donkey. After all, if even this kind of person doesn't get rich, then no one can get rich...
