Chapter Eighty-One: Guan Gong's Birthday(3/8)
Some businessmen do business and make genuine copies themselves, which will also give others the opportunity to pirate.
But when it came to Huo Jingliang, given his character, this kind of behavior was like cutting his flesh, and he couldn't bear it.
However, things like "knockoffs" are almost unavoidable as long as you are in the industry.
Simply put, he only does real estate and finance. There is really no imitation of these two things, and they all rely on hard power.
"Uncle, if you are worried about this, you can rest assured. Motorola has spent nearly twenty years researching the mobile phone industry. If you want to imitate it, you will definitely not be able to succeed overnight."
Lei Yaoyang understood Huo Jingliang's thoughts, stretched out five fingers and said confidently:
"Five years of exclusive agency and five years of monopoly should not be a problem."
Of course, Lei Yaoyang is not lying, because in his memory, Motorola mobile phones did dominate the entire mobile phone market a few years ago.
After that, it was indeed copied by other companies.
I remember that when Lei Yaoyang died in his previous life, "Motorola" mobile phones were almost rare on the market.
"Okay! Since you are so confident Yaoyang, of course I have no problem. Come and wish our mobile phone company great success."
Huo Jingliang really trusted Lei Yaoyang. After hearing this, he immediately poured a glass of red wine and raised his glass again.
"Okay, let's drink...!"
Huo Jingliang's business style is absolutely direct and ruthless.
He trusted Lei Yaoyang and absolutely trusted the business introduced by Lei Yaoyang. Early the next morning, he immediately ordered his subordinates to register a company, and then discussed the details of the cooperation with Zhan Mizi who came to visit him.
On the other hand, Huo Jingliang sent his men to inquire about information about Motorola, especially about the "mobile phone" agent.
To be honest, this year, Motorola has not thought about selling agency rights at all, but is just preparing to sell it on its own company's shelves.
It's not that they are unwilling, but Motorola never thought that the mobile phone industry would develop so fast.
In their company's view, mobile phones are a product of the aristocracy. In the 1980s, they cost 60,000 yuan. What kind of concept is this?
Even the small and middle-class people in Hong Kong's comprehensive cities cannot use it, let alone those places in the mainland.
Therefore, they don’t actually pay much attention to the Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. They just sell call machines and put some mobile phones in the store. If they can sell, they will sell them. If they can’t, they will take them down.
After Huo Jingliang learned this information, he contacted his contacts, made various introductions, and immediately came to his door.
The president of Motorola Asia personally received Huo Jingliang and was extremely happy about Huo Jingliang's request for agency rights.
It’s hard to sell this thing, but it’s a good thing that there are still people willing to act as agents.
In the end, after two days of negotiations and verbal exchanges, the two parties directly gave Huo Jingliang the five-year agency rights for the Motorola mobile phone port for a cabbage price of 50 million.
Not only that, Huo Jingliang is also cruel. He listened to Lei Yaoyang's analysis last night and was so optimistic about this market that he simply went a step further and spent another 20 million to buy out Macau for five years. Lei Yaoyang got this news
, I was extremely satisfied, and immediately took out the phone and informed Zhan Mizai that Huo Jingliang was so good this time, so he should be more knowledgeable when it comes to funds.
The 70 million was supposed to come out of 35 million, but Lei Yaoyang ordered Zhan Mizi to give him the full 40 million.
Regarding this, Huo Jingliang even called Lei Yaoyang and talked about it.
But Lei Yaoyang was very eloquent, and it only took him more than ten minutes to make Huo Jingliang very happy.
Time flies like water, and two months passed in a blink of an eye.
No one could have imagined that in just two months, the mobile phone market would really take off.
For the time being, there is no sales for the middle and lower classes, but many bosses and giant businessmen in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market have become "big brothers".
The most important thing is that because of their equipment, many people, ordinary people who don't know about it, finally know that there is such a thing.
Reputation, this point, is very important.

"Guan Gong's Birthday, what does this have to do with us? What? As a policeman, you still believe this, and then we will go out to celebrate?"
At Mong Kok Police Station, Lei Yaoyang had just gone to work that day, and Fang Jiexia came to the door with a piece of news:
An order came from above that Guan Gong's birthday will be celebrated in two days, and all police stations in Hong Kong Comprehensive City must be alert in the past few days.
But Lei Yaoyang really doesn’t understand. Guan Gong’s birthday is the birthday of a god. What should the police do to cheer up?
Fang Jiexia is definitely a good subordinate. Even if Lei Yaoyang is often away from the police station, she handles all the work very well.
Hearing the confusion in Lei Yaoyang's tone, Fang Jiexia immediately explained:
"Head, every year on Guan Gong's birthday, those gangsters outside will celebrate it. Some societies have dinner together under the pretext of celebrating Guan Gong's birthday. Some societies will worship Guan Gong with great fanfare, and then put out the sacrificial items for auction."
"According to them, whoever takes photos of those sacrificial objects will have good luck in the coming year."
"It's just a gimmick to make money. The sacrificial objects were all donated by the bosses of the societies, and the money from the auction also went into their pockets."
Lei Yaoyang curled his lips with disdain and commented. Fang Jiexia nodded with a smile and said:
"Yes, everyone knows it's a gimmick. But those who come out to do it are all worshiping Guan Gong. Even if they know that the sacrifice brings good luck is not credible, they will still fight for it!"
Lei Yaoyang remembered it now. He remembered that there seemed to be a section in Young and Dangerous where the auction of Guan Gong's sacrificial items was said to bring good luck.
Not to mention, people in Hong Kong are very superstitious, so many people really believe in this stuff.
However, Lei Yaoyang was still a little confused and said:
"They auction their stuff, and whoever makes more money will own it. What does it have to do with our police?"
Fang Jiexia smiled bitterly and said:
"Boss, that's what I'm saying. You know who those people are who come out to fool around. If there are too many people gathered together, if the auction doesn't go as expected, they may start a fight if they can't say a few words. So every year on Guan Gong's birthday
, bloodshed will occur in many places in Hong Kong Comprehensive City, and we will be very busy."
"Especially in places like Mong Kok, Temple Street, and Tsim Sha Tsui, we are the meeting places chosen by many societies."
Speaking of the last sentence, Fang Jiexia's face became even more bitter. Undoubtedly, in Fang Jiexia's view, Guan Gong's birthday every year is a rather embarrassing day for the police.
On this day, young and Dangerous boys gather for a dinner, and if there is a slight conflict, they will start fighting. Then things will get serious, and some bloodshed will occur, and the police will be required to put an end to it.
At this moment, Lei Yaoyang fully understood the intention of his superiors to send the document, and said thoughtfully:
"So, on Guan Gong's birthday, we police officers will all stand outside and watch, while those who come out to hang out sit and eat?"
"Not only that, we also have to do security work for them. If they have a conflict, we also have to be responsible for breaking up the fight?"
Fang Jiexia nodded again and said seriously:
"In the past ten years, it has been almost like this. At night, when nothing happens, every police station will gather together to celebrate the festival."
"What a big joke!"
When Lei Yaoyang heard this, he felt funny and angry.
This kind of cheating has never been heard of anywhere in the world, but strong women like Fang Jiexia already take it for granted.
It can be imagined from this that the police are completely accustomed to the situation on Guan Gong's birthday, and they are even deeply ingrained in it.
Even a fool could hear the displeasure in Lei Yaoyang's tone. Thinking of his usually strong style, Fang Jiexia quickly advised:
"Head, on this day every year, all areas of Hong Kong Comprehensive City are the same, but we may have more societies here in Mong Kok."
"The superiors will generally handle the conflicts that occurred on this day in a low-key manner. Even if a huge bloodshed does occur, the superiors will not blame our police department."
"Is it the same every year? Then starting from this year, our Guan Gong Festival in Mong Kok will be different."
Lei Yaoyang's fingers moved imaginatively, as if there was a piano in front of him, and he was tapping:
"It's a coincidence that people who go out to hang out pay homage to Guan Gong. We policemen also pay homage to Guan Gong. Since we all have the tradition of having a dinner on Guan Gong's birthday, that's ok, let's get together."
As he spoke, Lei Yaoyang said seriously:
"Let all brothers come in, I have orders."
"yes, sir!"
Lei Yaoyang usually chatted, and Fang Jiexia dared to say anything. But whenever Lei Yaoyang gave serious orders, Fang Jiexia knew that he had made up his mind and immediately obeyed the order and walked out of the office.
The day before Guan Gong’s birthday.
Tung Choi Street, Mongkok, Dafa Mahjong Hall.
This is one of the two mahjong parlors in Tung Choi Street. It is opened by "A Huo Sen", a local gangster of Tong Choi Street.
This guy A Huo Sen is a local snake on Tong Cai Street, also known as Parallel Import Sen. As his name suggests, he usually does some parallel import business in Tong Cai Street and also owns a mahjong parlor, and he is doing well.
Since Lei Yaoyang held the meeting of heroes, A Huosen has always adopted a cooperative attitude, and has received huge benefits for providing information to the Mong Kok police many times.
In just a few months, Ahuosen not only opened two more video game arcades, but also obtained the management rights of a street from Jimi Zai, making a lot of money.
Recently, I also opened a financial company and made the loan sharking business a real business, with good results.
Today, Dafa Mahjong Hall is as usual, business is booming, people are busy, and it is lively.
In the office of the mahjong parlor, smoke filled the air. Ahuo Sen and several of his close associates, half of them holding cigarettes in their hands, were calculating the accounts for these days. In response to the environment that seemed to be "on fire", the group of people seemed to have no idea at all.
Without realizing it, everyone's face was full of smiles and they looked at the account books carefully.
It can be seen that they are very satisfied with the recent accounts.
"Boss, the game arcade made more than 200,000 yuan this month, and the income came from the new fruit machine bought from Gao Fei."
