Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 310 Director Liu Qirong

Chapter 309 Director Liu Qirong

In China, no matter how big a business leader is, if he is not greedy, he is really serving the workers. A salary of more than 200 yuan is a lot, but there are restrictions on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

And now that Luo Cheng has arrived in Xiangjiang, he is considered a rich man in Xiangjiang. After all, Xiangjiang is not rich now. A person with hundreds of thousands would be considered rich. Luo Cheng is also a vehicle dealer. He can earn thousands of dollars from just one car. It is easy to get tens of thousands of dollars.

This means that Luo Cheng is still settling with the Automobile Industrial Zone based on the sales price. If it is calculated based on the wholesale cost price, then Inspector Zhou’s share will be deducted. In Luo Cheng’s hands, there can be a big head. Luo Cheng’s current expenses in Xiangjiang, including buying a house and other expenses, are all paid for with the price difference.

Of course, although the vehicle is settled in the industrial zone according to the selling price. All goods are used in lieu of money, but the goods actually shipped back to the country do not account for a large proportion of the payment. The purchase of cargo ships is also paid out of the sales proceeds. But the cargo ship can be regarded as belonging to the country, but it belongs to Luo Cheng personally.

But it will be different in the future. Luo Cheng will have future products transported in the form of parts. This cannot always be calculated based on cost price. You must know that there are factories and workers in Xiangjiang, and they all need to be paid directly with money.

At most, future goods can only be calculated based on the retail price of components. Even so, the industrial zone still has a lot of profits. Because of things like engines and gearboxes, prices in industrial areas have always been high. It is almost calculated based on the import price.

This assembly fee and port fee are both considered costs. After all, imported parts will enter and exit Hong Kong port openly. This fee is actually an additional fee, because it was Inspector Zhou who handled the entry and exit of Xiangjiang Wharf before. But now Luo Cheng’s products can be freely entered and exited, but Inspector Zhou’s share ratio is indispensable.

It’s not that Inspector Zhou didn’t work. At least with his care, the Coast Guard wouldn’t check his goods. But Luo Cheng is not doing illegal business. Without Inspector Zhou, he can still use some money to deal with the Coast Guard. Instead of sharing such a high proportion with Inspector Zhou, to be more realistic, it was a cooperation of interests from the beginning. In the future, the cost and benefit will not be proportional, and the cooperation will not continue. When it comes to friendship, there is fart friendship.

When they arrived in Xiangjiang, Luo Cheng took Gao Ru and four bodyguards to drink hot soup and eat something on the dock. Even though it was around one o’clock in the morning, in a capital society, money is what matters. There are many smart people in this world. Breakfast may not be available in other places, but at the pier, there are people squatting around the clock selling things, just to those who come to the pier at night.

Luo Cheng has a person in charge who cooks food for the workers, but the food is mediocre. So I took the others to eat something else on the pier before going back.

On the way, Luo Cheng warned Gao Ru that she was his cousin in Xiangjiang. Moreover, this is a port controlled by capital. In Xiangjiang, their identity is that of wealthy children of capitalists.

And what is a rich kid from a capitalist family? Luo Cheng took Gao Ru and the others to the building where they lived. There are housekeepers, maids, cooks, and servants. They all called her Miss Gao Ru, and they didn’t look down on Gao Ru just because she was wearing ordinary clothes. Because the Chinese tunic suit worn by Luo Cheng is not popular here in Xiangjiang.

But these servants all know that the current clothes in the mainland are like this. If you wear them too fashionably, you will become a weirdo in the country. Many people who go to China in Hong Kong will actually change into a set of very ordinary clothes when they go back. Therefore, the servants will not think that Gao Ru is a bumpkin. After all, she is Luo Cheng’s cousin. It should be a regional issue.

Luo Cheng told the housekeeper not to worry about it. He would simply wash up and go to bed today. Tomorrow, the housekeeper would take Miss Ciao to buy a set of clothes first, and then find a tailor to make one or two sets. In addition, a maid was arranged to listen to Gao Ru.

As for the bodyguards, let Zhang Hao and Liu Qing make arrangements and get familiar with this place first. Luo Cheng had to take a good rest, and before he ‘hooked up’ with Chief Inspector Lu Le, he had to take the initiative to report to Inspector Zhou when he returned to Xiangjiang.

As soon as he arrived in Xiangjiang, Gao Ru’s three views were ruined. This is the life of a capitalist. Luo Cheng is the district chief in China. If he is like this in Xiangjiang, he is not afraid of being punished. It’s okay for you to pretend, but why do you feel like you’re serious? The bodyguards were arranged by the country, but Gao Ru could tell that the maids, housekeepers and servants here were not arranged by the country.

The next day, Gao Ru was also woken up by someone in the morning. He was riding in a car and working on a boat. He was sleeping on a comfortable bed, even in an unfamiliar environment. I didn’t suffer from insomnia or anything, and had a peaceful sleep.

Breakfast is eaten at home and people go to the teahouse to buy snacks. In Xiangjiang, some wealthy families are influenced by the British. They all eat Western-style breakfast in the morning, such as milk and bread. They feel that eating this is the upper class thing.

Luo Cheng was about to go out after eating, so he asked Gao Ru to follow the housekeeper’s arrangements and change his clothes today. If you want to go out, find the bodyguards who came with you. They may not be familiar with this place when they first arrived, but Zhang Hao and Liu Qing will definitely make arrangements.

I went out to see Inspector Zhou. I brought a gift box and asked the driver to drive away. Go directly to the police station to find him. Even if he is not there, he will appear soon after hearing that it is Luo Cheng who is looking for him.

Luo Cheng brought some things from China, but people from China helped arrange them and it didn’t cost Luo Cheng. Some old wild ginseng, old wild ginseng is also expensive these days, but that is relative to domestic prices. A few dozen yuan is equivalent to a month’s salary. Moreover, wild ginseng is only a medicine now, and no one has the luxury to buy it as a supplement. In the future, more and more things will disappear, and they will become more expensive. A good old ginseng can be sold for a sky-high price.

In Xiangjiang, wild ginseng is quite expensive, but it’s not that rare and makes a good gift. Moreover, Luo Cheng also plans to collect some of these when he returns to China next time, and try cutting them into small pieces and holding them in his mouth to see if he can beat Sissi to surrender.

When I arrived at Inspector Zhou’s police station, the police officers I met were polite to Luo Chengna, and they all called me Master Luo when they met. Inspector Zhou noticed that the monthly benefits paid by the brothers below were much higher than their wages. Luo Chengbudan is Inspector Zhou’s God of Wealth, and also the police officer below.

Moreover, Luo Cheng runs a compliant business and does not cause trouble. It’s not like some people who do gray business and always have disputes. Although there are disputes and fights, the people above are willing to see it. For the police officers below, the benefits are not many. Sometimes they don’t care about things, and they don’t care about them.

Some police officers also have a sense of justice. As police officers in Hong Kong, this sense of justice can only lead to disputes between civilians. If there is a dispute with a wealthy person, they will protect themselves wisely. That’s why the police like businessmen like Luo Cheng very much. The things they sell are not illegal and they don’t lead people to cause trouble.

Nowadays, there are fewer disputes and fights at Wan Chai Pier. If there are any, it is just a matter of minor quarrels, which can be dealt with fairly.

Luo Cheng came to the inspector’s office. Inspector Zhou was here, but he didn’t look good today. Even when he saw Luo Cheng, the God of Wealth, coming, his mood did not improve.

The gift was given to Inspector Zhou in a gift box. Inspector Zhou didn’t show up, and cooperated directly in front of Luo Cheng to see what he was sending. Seeing it was wild ginseng, I thanked him. After putting the gifts away, I was in the mood to entertain Luo Cheng and gave Luo Cheng a cigarette.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng suppressed what he wanted to talk about here first and asked Inspector Zhou what happened. I thought Inspector Zhou wouldn’t tell me anything, but I didn’t expect him to tell me directly.

It’s not that complicated, someone just crossed a line. A small director, who was not from Wan Chai District, actually came to say hello to him, which made him look blind recently. The lame tycoon is coming to rob the drug market here, so there will definitely be a fight. Tell Inspector Zhou to stay out of the situation. This lame man is related to Inspector Lu Le.

And let Inspector Zhou rest assured that if Lame Hao really conquers this territory, they will not be short of tea fees. But this lame man’s backer is Lu Le, so how much money can he get even if he pays for tea? In addition, the director’s name was Zeng Qirong. He was obviously lower in rank than the inspector, but because he was following Lu Le, he was not polite to him at all.

But there is no way. There are four major detectives in Xiangjiang, and Inspector Lu is the head of the four. Qi Guiqi, he really couldn’t help but give face. I plan to arrange for someone to notify me later, or give up this business site, and let some people I know change their careers to other places. Or go to other places and ask Inspector Zhou to say hello. Some places will also give him face.

When Inspector Zhou told Luo Cheng this, he never expected that Luo Cheng had already wanted to part ways. Moreover, the person Luo Cheng wanted to cooperate with was Lu Le. This time he returned to Xiangjiang and brought three commercial vehicles. One is for my own use, the other two are intended to be given away, and one is for Inspector Zhou. Before knowing and cooperating with Inspector Lu, the status of an inspector is not low. In Wan Chai District, products can be sold casually, but in other areas If Inspector Zhou says hello, he can go sell it and no one will cause trouble.

But the effect is different in different regions. In Wan Chai, it is Inspector Zhou’s territory. As long as he says a word, some rich people, no matter how much money they spend to buy a car, will support him. But in other areas, if Inspector Zhou greets you, at most the official people will not trouble you, and then you have to rely on the market to sell things.

Now Luo Cheng doesn’t want to give Inspector Zhou a ride, so it’s better to find a way to catch Inspector Lu’s line as soon as possible.

Just now Inspector Zhou said that there is a director named Zeng Qirong who is Inspector Lu. It is better to let the liaison officer here check his situation. Inspector Lu’s position is too high, so if you contact him without any recommendation, you may not be able to get him. But as a director, it is very easy for you to bribe these days, and even if there are people who do not accept bribes, they will not report you for bribery if they refuse.

To put it more realistically, in Hong Kong, the current police officers can also be called black police officers. If you are not greedy, the people above will not dare to promote you. If some people are brave enough, they can go to each police station with money to find officers at the police level. Even if they don’t know them, they can just throw money at them. At least in Xiangjiang, I have never seen anyone report someone without accepting a bribe.

Originally, Luo Cheng planned to use a car to bribe Inspector Zhou this time, and also asked him to help take the lead in contacting some overseas companies in Wan Chai. To promote his car, the other is to grant another piece of land to build an assembly factory with a large area. In the future, every inch of land in Xiangjiang is very valuable. In this era, just hoarding land can make a fortune.

Now, let’s just talk about shipping. Luo Cheng came this time to transport the assembly parts of the van, as well as the finished van. Inspector Zhou was asked to call someone in Wan Chai District to take care of him. Luo Cheng also showed him the price list, but the price Luo Cheng gave to the industrial zone was the ex-factory price. Even if the engine sold for three thousand, it was sold in bulk. If the car breaks down, it is impossible to replace the engine.

And now the list Luo Cheng gave to Inspector Zhou was for retail, but there was no retail price in China. Luo Chengdu added a few layers to the domestic price, and then included the assembly fee here in Xiangjiang. But even if a lot of cost prices are falsely reported, the overall cost is not very high. After calculating other costs, it is clearly guaranteed that the performance is better than that of a car and it is practical, so the price is set at 30,000 units. Thirty thousand is Hong Kong dollars. According to the exchange rate, the price is actually less than twenty-five thousand.

But the prices of domestic cars are inherently high because they are not sold to individuals, so it doesn’t matter if they are high. Just like the local unit in Ngee Ann takes the profits handed over by the industrial zone and buys a large number of cars from the industrial zone, it is not afraid of high profits. If it is too high, it will be turned over.

As mentioned before, the reason why domestic car prices are high is because many cars are imported. In order to save foreign exchange, they are deliberately sold to units and enterprises at high prices. For any domestic imported products, except for designated instruments and equipment, you can divide the price by five times to get the true overseas price.

The price of domestic vehicles is actually more than 10,000 for a self-produced Jiefang truck, which is the real vehicle price.

If this van is not really leading in engine and transmission technology, even if the engine technology has been bought by a kid, it is still true that the technology belongs to the front end in the current world. Selling a car for HKD 30,000 is really not expensive. As for why the cars sold to Hong Kong by little devils in the 1980s only cost HKD 8,000. This little devil still wants to make money.

However, there are many reasons why Xiaoguizi cars are sold cheaply. The first one is the low configuration. One is because of their industrial production technology, which has long developed high-quality alloy steel. Less materials are used, and the body can be stamped and formed, seizing the low-end market in Xiangjiang.

When it comes to buying good cars, they all buy German ones, and those with money buy Porsches and Ferraris. But that’s all for the future. The prices of cars in Hong Kong haven’t completely come down yet.

You must know that in the early 1970s, the per capita salary in Hong Kong was 700, while domestic wages remained unchanged. This is talking about per capita. The average per capita of the rich and the poor is about 700. The rich must exceed this number. One year’s salary can definitely buy a car, so in the 1970s, cars were all over the streets in Xiangjiang. Yes.

The price of a car is 30,000 yuan, which is considered a medium-priced high-quality car in Xiangjiang. The main thing is the new car model, which requires Inspector Zhou to recommend to others to buy. It feels like he has to go to a big restaurant to seat a dozen or so seats.

Just saying hello is useless. You have to invite those people over and ask them face to face. It depends on whether those people will give you face. Besides, this wasn’t a forced offer. As long as Luo Cheng didn’t fool him about the car’s performance, asking for 30,000 yuan for one wouldn’t be a big deal.

So Inspector Zhou asked Luo Cheng to organize workers to assemble the car first, and then just notify him and he would make arrangements.

Luo Cheng also knew that it was time to leave after talking about the matter. Inspector Zhou’s tea was not good to drink.

After leaving the police station, as soon as Luo Cheng went out, Liu Qing and another person he was protecting followed him. Zhang Hao is not here, busy bringing in new people. Luo Cheng asked Liu Qing to contact the liaison officer and find out about Zeng Qirong.
