March 14th is the death of Zhang Shaopingxian's parents.

Before that, Michelle took a plane and rushed back from the capital yesterday afternoon.

In addition, Wang Jing volunteered to help buy flower baskets, paper money, and three animals. What's even more rare is that Huo Zhenting and his wife also left to accompany them.

Zhang Shaoping would come to his parents' cemetery every three months, pulling out the weeds and talking about his worries. Many things he kept in his heart and dared not say can be expressed without any scruples towards the empty tombstone.

Those who are willing to attend the death anniversary are either better friends with Zhang Shaoping, close or ambiguous with him. If neither is it, it is based on his name, showing favors or asking for him.

No matter which one or what purpose it is, Zhang Shaoping is very grateful.

This is the first time that Zhang’s father and mother have died. It is a good thing to be more lively and grand.

......

The next day, Michelle hurriedly took the Hong Kong-Guizhou direct train to Guangzhou City and took the plane of the day to Beijing.

Civil aviation in the mainland has just started, so there are few flights and air tickets are even more in short supply. In the past, the plane from Suicheng to Beijing had to turn a corner to the west and wait for a trip to Beijing, which shows how shortage of civilian passenger planes is. So in order to get on the plane, Michelle didn't dare to stay in Hong Kong for too long, so she hurriedly left again.

......

"Mr. Chen, please sit down."

"Thanks!"

Zhang Shaoping and Chen Huimin said politely and sat down separately.

As soon as Chen Huimin sat down, he asked curiously: "Zhang Sheng, to be honest, I never thought you would invite me out! If I remember correctly, we have only met once, so there should be no intersection, right?"

Zhang Shaoping smiled and said, "You are the boss on the road, and my industry involves the bar industry. I'm afraid you won't be able to drive."

Chen Huimin is not simple. He learned boxing from the Tan Family Sanzhan since he was a child, and later practiced Western boxing. Later, he dropped out of school at the age of 17 and applied for the Hong Kong Discipline Force. He wanted to be a police officer, but because he was still a few months away from turning 18, he went to the Correctional Department to be a prison guard.

It was the darkest time in Hong Kong. The thieves were not separated. They were basically police during the day and black gang at night. When Chen Huimin was a prison guard, he had a very good relationship with his comrades. The eldest brother of the gang was imprisoned and asked him to take care of him. He could endure less hardship in prison and enjoy various benefits, thus winning a lot of respect for Chen Huimin.

Not long after he became a prison guard, Chen Huimin applied to be transferred to a police officer and was then transferred to Kowloon for criminal investigation.

Chen Huimin, who was extremely frightened, was unwilling to be a policeman with low income, so he applied to be a drug anti-drug team. The drug anti-drug team could enter as long as they paid 5,000 yuan. At that time, it was stipulated that the drug anti-drug team had to change a group of people in three months, but they could "earn" at least 15,000 yuan in these three months. At that time, there were many white and white houses on Hai Pang Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the police station was a hundred meters away. The police allowed "Daoist" to set up stalls here and collect "films" at their own home ("sending films" means bribery).

Originally, such income was quite good, but unfortunately in 1967, Chen Huimin was discovered by the police and retired. Since then, Chen Huimin began to be a full-time gang member. He relied on his good skills to become a 14k double flower red stick. Jinbalidao in Tsim Sha Tsui is called "Chen Huimin Street". He has the final say on the nightclubs, sagars and nightclubs in the entire street. Anyone who wants to hold a nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui will ask him to nod.

Chen Huimin "has been beaten" and is known as "Li Xiaolong, and Chen Huimin is the boxing". In 1970 and 1971, Chen Huimin represented Hong Kong twice in Southeast Asia boxing competition, winning two consecutive Eastern boxing championships. At that time, Bruce Lee had just turned around and the film industry wanted to find real kung fu people to perform fighting scenes. Therefore, Chen Huimin was attracted by the director of Shaw Brothers and asked to make a movie.

At first, Chen Huimin was not very interested in filming movies. When he filmed He Fan's "Blood Love", his salary was only 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was only about one-tenth of his monthly income. But later, the ICAC was established and 14k was severely cracked down. The income from watching the venue was greatly reduced, and the salary for filming movies was increasing. So he simply became a full-time actor and made a big profit.

Although Chen Huimin still has contacts with the characters in the martial arts world, he has long stopped being a "mountain", so he smiled and said, "Zhang Sheng is joking. With these brothers around you, I, Old Chen, dare not ask you to worship the top of the mountain! Besides, I am just an actor now, and I am just a good person."

Chen Huimin met Li Xiaolong as a child, and had a deep understanding of Jeet Kune Do. In addition, he himself had real skills. When he slashed people, he snatched the blade with his bare hands, but when he saw Chen Feihu, he felt creepy every time. He was a man who could beat him, but Chen Feihu and his men were definitely from Killing Stars. If there were too many people, he would have a murderous aura. To be honest, he would win in a fight, but if he really met, he would definitely die.

Zhang Shaoping smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you are a cheerful person, and I won't go around in circles with you. Tell me, I want to open an international videotape rental chain, and I like Mr. Chen's connections in Hong Kong, so I want to cooperate with you in Hong Kong's rental business and make money together."

Chen Huimin said in confusion: "What's the point of leasing videotapes? There are too few people with home videotapes now, and they can't make a lot of money."

"You don't have to worry about this. I have already thought of a solution. Please take a look at this plan."

Zhang Shaoping said as he took out a stack of paper from the briefcase next to him and handed it to Chen Huimin.

In order to open up the video tape rental market, Zhang Shaoping racked his brains and designed a relatively mature plan with Yuan Tianfan, Hu Mufang and others.

In the 21st century when the information explosion occurred, various telecom operators used various means, the most commonly used one was to use contract machines to bundle hardware and services, charge phone bills, and send mobile phones or landlines. In this time and space, Zhang Shaoping learned to use it, prepared to adopt a membership system, first pay a deposit, sign a monthly guaranteed rental contract, and then distribute video recorders for free.

This kind of commercial means that only appeared in the next 20 years has very obvious benefits.

First of all, you can take advantage of the people's greed for small gains to quickly open the video tape rental market and squeeze out the market capacity of the video tape. People who buy video tape will definitely use it, but buying a video tape costs about 130 yuan, while renting a video tape is only 8 or 9 yuan, which is of course cost-effective. Since you want to rent a video tape anyway, why not sign a contract and get a video tape for free?

This principle is simple and easy to understand, just like Zhang Shaoping made a buy one free when he was engaged in foreign trade, which was to capture the public's greed for small gains.

Secondly, as cheap video halls are everywhere on the streets and alleys, more and more video tape rental stores are blooming everywhere. You should know that the threshold for the video tape rental industry is very low, investing tens of thousands of yuan, then buying dozens of video tapes, finding a place or even on the street can open it. Zhang Shaoping's contract form, which uses both soft and hard, can completely bind customers and prevent competitors from poaching.

At this time, the big head of videotape rental has gradually shifted to ordinary people. It won’t take long to see films and television institutions such as Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, and Xinyi City will find this cake, and then rely on the advantages of selling movies or asset movies to suppress all videotape rental stores. Therefore, when doing business, you have to make the timing, it is not enough to be early or late.

Third, this method of prepayment of deposit can maximize and fast return of funds. The recovered funds can in turn continue to be invested, just like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and eventually becoming a giant.

This business model has many benefits, but no one has ever thought of it? That's not the case.

For example, financial banking, large multinational institutions and companies are among the best. For example, if you open an account at Citibank in Hong Kong, you can deposit money, take a plane to the United States, and you can withdraw money immediately from various Citibank branches.

However, this model is very invested in a huge way, which is not something that ordinary merchants can play. To put it bluntly, membership cards purchased in Central Stores cannot be used when they arrive at Causeway Bay Stores. If they cannot be universal and swipe cards, the applicability and user stickiness of the package contract will be greatly reduced.

To be honest, the information exchange is not fast enough, and the reason why we can play this set in the future is because there is a magical artifact - the Internet.

Of course, Zhang Shaoping dared to play like this. First, he could vigorously buy computers and design and develop programs to save time. Second, he also opened a lot of Han and Tang clothing chain stores and accumulated a certain amount of experience. Third, he had a logistics company, which could save a lot of shipping costs. Fourth, he invested in a card swiping machine connected to the computer to store data, and also had a data center for summary and settlement.

Chen Huimin quickly finished reading the plan, and Zhang Shaoping asked: "How is it, do you think it's feasible?"

This guy is both civil and military, and is one of the rare figures in the Tao who is both civil and military. Zhang Shaoping dared not underestimate him.

"The plan is very detailed and there is a problem."

Chen Huimin looked up and then asked in confusion: "Zhang Sheng, you are so generous in showing me the plan. Are you not afraid that I will leave you alone and do it alone?"

Zhang Shao said lightly: "I didn't underestimate the three hills on your way. You can't play with this thing."

"Then I don't understand. Since people on the Tao can't play this, what's the use of finding me? Apart from knowing a few friends in the martial arts world and knowing how to film, there seems to be nothing that can help you, right?" Chen Huimin pulled the tie on his body and asked with a smile.

"What I fear most in this industry is that someone is not open to his eyes and makes trouble!" The implication is to rely on Chen Huimin's influence on the Tao.

Chen Huimin nodded and said, "I understand! Zhang Sheng, do you want me to say hello to my friend on the road?"

Zhang Shaoping shook his head and said, "Why should I call you such a simple thing? Let me tell you, you are from Hongfashan (14k) and have a close relationship with the Yamaguchi group in Japan. It is also very popular in Southeast Asia. I need you to help me open up the market in these places. Of course, I will never treat the people who do things for me unfairly. You can have a free job in my image rental company, and I will give you an annual salary of 2 million Hong Kong dollars. This annual salary is not fixed. As long as the market is done well, I promise you to increase by 1 million yuan year by year. Of course, if you don't do well, you can only get 2 million yuan."

Chen Huimin was shocked by the price offered by Zhang Shaoping. 2 million Hong Kong dollars is a lot. If Cheng Long's salary is not charged for dividends, it will only be over 1 million. Xu Guanjie has this price, but unfortunately it is just an inflated price. There are only a few movies that can be bought by him.
