Chapter 211: Grabbing Food, Huge Profits

Chapter 211: Grabbing Food, Huge Profits

When visiting disabled families in the New Territories, Yin Zhaotang experienced a different state of mind from visiting lonely elderly people.

The lonely elderly people in the housing estate have let go of their desires for material things and found spiritual comfort.

They will express their gratitude in a warm way, which may be a bowl of porridge, a word of care, or a smile.

Families with disabled people are actually more miserable than those with the elderly, and they desire more material wealth and spiritual respect.

There is still a fire inside them!

Yin Zhaotang would never understand how important the four words "self-reliance" are in the eyes of disabled people unless he went there himself.

The day after returning from the New Territories, he called Zuoshou to his office and told him, "If there are any simple manual jobs in the sneaker factory, you can distribute them to the Disabled Persons' Association and ask them to distribute them to disabled workers who have manual skills."

"The wages have increased by 20 cents compared to usual. Don't treat this as a way to make money."

Outsourcing work orders is to reduce costs, and bringing the costs to the same level as factory prices is actually no longer in line with business principles.

This is because the quality of outsourced orders is not up to standard and there may even be a lot of waste.

Zuo Shou did not reject the boss' words and nodded: "I understand, just think of it as a charity, a great good man in the world!"

"Pick, you dare to make fun of the boss?"

Yin Zhaotang shook off the cigarette ash, laughed and cursed, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He didn't see a single disabled person over 50 years old in the New Territories, because the life expectancy of disabled people in Hong Kong was too low.

You don’t even have a pigeon coop to live in, and you still expect to live to be fifty?
The young man who had both hands amputated cooked a table of dishes with his feet and welcomed them to his home.

When I heard that the association was going to set up a sports team for the disabled, I took the initiative to sign up for wheelchair football.

"Before the accident, I loved playing football. If I could represent Hong Kong Island and win a medal abroad one day, my life would be worth it."

This made him understand why Liao Zhihong was willing to work in the Disabled Persons’ Association for his entire life, because he was not simply doing politics, but was truly doing something valuable.

Yin Zhaotang became more determined to support Liao Zhihong's entry into politics. Perhaps the Liao family only needed a politician, but there were many politicians and too few doers.

That month, the New Territories Disabled Persons' Association's application to form a Paralympic team was approved by the Urban Council's Cultural, Recreation and Sports Committee.

This committee is under the Municipal Affairs Bureau and is responsible for entertainment and culture in Hong Kong Island, the construction of citizen recreational centers, and the hosting of sports events.

The greatest privilege is to approve big horse races on holidays, which are lucrative.

91 Magazine Company immediately used its supplement "91 Chigua" to promote the magazine. With Liao Zhihong's mobilization of connections, some magazines and newspapers followed suit.

The sporadic publicity has brought very good results.

Liao Zhihong took a different and practical approach and won the strong support of Uncle Liao, who allocated land and buildings to the sports team.

Although the Liao family's tickets cannot be divided, Liao Zhihong dares to think and act. As a father, he can put in some resources and none of the uncles in the family can complain.

While Xin Kee was busy with the lawsuit, Jie Shiyong took advantage of the time to contact the boss of Sarawak in Indonesia.

Because the business of smuggling sea sand in Hong Kong Island is mainly done by two companies: Xinji and Haohaobang.

Among them, the sand of the No.1 Gang comes from the mainland and the price is definitely cheaper, but they pick up the black goods left over by Yourong Company.

The quantity of goods is not large, the profit point is high, and we are doing it in a steady and long-term manner.

Xin Kee also brought sand from Indonesia, landed it at Wan Chai Pier, and supplied it to some small construction companies in Hong Kong Island.

Brother Yong clearly wanted to snatch food from Xinji. If it were a few years ago, he wouldn't have dared to do that.

But now the temporary leader of Xinji is Axe Jun. The name sounds impressive, but it can't scare the courageous gangsters at all.

Brother Yong gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, wanting to find a way to make money for the gang.

half a month later.

Causeway Bay, Lan Kee Restaurant.

Street Market Yong, wearing a gold chain as thick as a thumb and a blue and white shirt, served water to Indonesian businessmen.

Yin Zhaotang sat in the guest seat and shook hands with the Indonesian. Street Yong put down the teapot and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Boss, Shenxiantang, Lao Zhong's double-flowered red stick!"

"I've heard a lot about you, Brother Tang."

The Indonesian is called Xie Qifa and is an overseas Chinese.

"Brother Fa."

Yin Zhaotang, dressed in a suit and tie, greeted him.

Jie Shiyong introduced: "Brother Fa is the master of Laofu in Indonesia and is very powerful in the Chinese community in Indonesia."

Lao Fu refers to Fu Yi Xing, one of the oldest societies in Hong Kong Island, whose influence in Hong Kong Island is gradually weakening. However, in Indonesia, Malaysia and other places, the Fujian faction headed by Lao Fu is very powerful.

"Brother Fa is a member of the Hongmen, so things will be easy to discuss."

Yin Zhaotang arranged the six cups on the tea tray into a teacup array according to the tradition of Zhongyi Hall.

Xie Qifa, who had a middle-parted hairstyle and chubby cheeks, took a cup of tea from the teacup and drank it first.

He put down the cup with a smile, lined up the remaining five cups in a line, and said, "Five of us swore brotherhood in Gaoxi, five cups of tea together, brothers!"

"Brother Fu Yixing, the fifth red flag brother, and the Indonesian disciple Xie Qifa."

Different from Yin Zhaotang's Loyalty Liuhe Formation, the five cups of tea are called "The World Waits for Ming's Return". Each cup represents a branch of the Hongmen and cannot be drunk directly from one cup.

If someone raises a cup to drink tea, it means he is a layman and there is no point in discussing business.

Yin Zhaotang poured all five cups of tea back into the pot, poured them out again to wash the cups, and then poured hot tea over them. He said, "Thank you, Fifth Brother. Don't blame me for being presumptuous."

Xie Qifa tapped the table with his fingers, performed a kowtow, and laughed, "This is the first time we meet, so let's follow the rules. This will make everyone feel at ease."

Brother Hongqi Wu is in charge of external relations and would not worry about the teacup formation at all.

The two men quickly agreed on a price of 40 Hong Kong dollars per ton of sea sand, but the Indonesian old man just loaded the goods onto the ship.

Zhongyitang needs to rent the ship responsible for transporting the goods by itself.

Lao Fu’s people don’t care what happens at sea. In short, the transaction is over once the goods leave the port, but if the goods are detained by Indonesian customs.

Lao Fu needs to pay the payment for the goods to Zhongyitang.

The current price of construction sand in Hong Kong Island is HK$103 per ton, sea sand is 80, and smuggled sand is sold at 70.

The profit is 30 Hong Kong dollars per ton. If a ship carries 5000 tons, the profit of each ship is Hong Kong dollars.

After deducting labor and fuel costs, the profit is more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Jie Shiyong had already made an agreement with Yin Zhaotang that he would be responsible for receiving and selling the goods, while Yin Zhaotang would be responsible for paying for the goods. The two would split the income 40% to 60%.

Jie Shiyong got four and Yin Zhaotang got six.

A ship like this can make a profit of 60,000 yuan, so if you make ten trips a month, you can make 600,000 yuan.

As long as the shipping company can arrange the shipping capacity, the profit will reach one or two million. The price of sand is still rising every year, and it will continue to rise in the future.

With the experience of smuggling pork, they were familiar with renting ships.

He cooperated with Jie Shiyong to register a company, and the project was launched, waiting for the first batch of goods to arrive.

It is indeed easier to cooperate with people of the same origin than with outsiders.

Street Market Yong was a capable man. A week later, three ships loaded with sea sand docked in Tseung Kwan O one after another, with a total of 200,000 tons, which were wholesaled to a construction company in Kowloon at one time.

It is true that Lao Zhong has entered the sand and gravel market, but he is not stupid enough to directly snatch customers from Xinji. Instead, he will make contacts and purchase from them in Kowloon first.

Brother Yong knows that one cannot become fat in one bite, so he plans to expand step by step.

But a month later, Brother Yong was furious and took a few photos and took them in front of Yin Zhaotang: "Atang, I plan to find someone to get rid of this girl!"

Yin Zhaotang and Zhou Huimin had just come downstairs from a recording studio in Wan Chai when they were stopped by an angry street thug.
