Chapter 223: None of Them Are Good Things!

"Second Young Master might not know, but Hong Hing is also running goods to Siam!"

"Because their source of goods comes from the Mainland, the profit of the same ship of goods is at least one or two times more than ours; that's all money!"

"So exaggerated?"

The second young master Lin was taken aback and didn't believe it: "Not very likely, right?"

"How is it not likely?"

Guanzaisen had done his homework and explained: "The labor cost in the Mainland is extremely low; a salary of 300 or 400 a month is considered quite good. Can that be done in Hong Kong?"

"Not to mention, any material that the Mainland can provide is cheaper than in Hong Kong!"

"With all these factors added together, the final cost is quite different!"

A few words directly silenced the second young master Lin.

Thinking about it, it was indeed the logic, and he had nothing to say.

"Then what ideas do you have?"

He looked directly at Guanzaisen, his mood quite complicated.

In fact, Guanzaisen didn't feel like the triad roughneck in his impression.

On the contrary, the aura of a businessman on this guy was stronger, and he didn't know if it was real?

"I hope Second Young Master can build a clothing factory in the Mainland!"

Guanzaisen didn't talk nonsense and directly put forward his idea.

"That's impossible!"

As for why it was impossible, the second young master Lin didn't have the idea of answering.

"Second Young Master, once the Indochina Peninsula market is opened, the profit from goods-running will be on the scale of hundreds of millions!"

Guanzaisen's soft voice was like a devil's whisper at this time.

"And if the cost of goods-running can be compressed, our income will be quite astonishing!"

"Hong Hing is doing exactly that; there is already a ready-made example!"

"Every ship of theirs earns more than ours!"

"Accumulated over a few years, it's a terrifying number. Second Young Master, aren't you tempted?"

The second young master Lin was indeed tempted!

If he could earn more money, he was naturally willing.

It was just that asking him to build a clothing factory in the Mainland made it difficult for him.

He had a good idea of what his own father was like.

Once he publicly built a clothing factory in the Mainland, it might cause dissatisfaction among the Hong Kong British top management.

"If Second Young Master has concerns, just find an unrelated agent!"

But at this time, Guanzaisen's suggestion made the second young master Lin anxious.

"Second Young Master, it only takes one year!"

Guanzaisen's voice still echoed in his ears: "You can earn hundreds of millions in wealth. By then, no matter what you do, you will have enough confidence!"

These words thoroughly moved the second young master Lin.

Just thinking about the glory of the eldest young master Lin made him gnash his teeth with hatred.

Isn't it just earning money? He could also earn a lot.

"This matter can't be done in a short while!"

Thinking about it, the second young master Lin lowered his voice and said: "I will send people to the Mainland to build a factory. Before that, everything remains the same; we must not leak the news in advance!"

Speaking of this, he warned coldly: "Otherwise, you guys won't have a good end!"

Guanzaisen left full of joy; he was too lazy to delve into the reasons.

As long as the second young master Lin agreed to build a clothing factory in the Mainland, he was too lazy to care about the rest.

He wanted to earn more, so he could only make such a choice!

At this time, Annam was still in a state of war with the Mainland!

As for the other countries on the Indochina Peninsula, there was basically no basic condition for building large clothing factories.

A large number of cheap, skilled workers could only be provided by the Mainland in the entire Asia.

On the other side, the communication between Long Gen and Chuanbao was also quite smooth.

As mentioned before, Chuanbao was a big brother of Wo Shing's pill-selling line.

Yutou Biao under his command was a quite famous Jianghu fierce man of Wo Shing.

It was also because of this that their line had quite good friendships with the local snakes and powerful figures in an unspeakable area, which could help Long Gen and the others transport the clothing they ran smoothly.

In fact, the poorer the place, the greater the demand for run clothing!

Being able to participate in the goods-running business, Chuanbao was also quite satisfied.

This was much easier than selling pills, and the risk wasn't big at all.

He had also heard that Hong Hing's Jiang Tiansheng was doing the goods-running business quite well.

Paper, after all, couldn't wrap fire!

Not to mention, the actions of the brothers Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Tianyang were not small.

It was very normal for other triad big brothers to notice!

Not only Chuanbao, but quite a few big brothers of other first-class triads knew that Jiang Tiansheng was running goods and making money, and he was making big money!

Otherwise, where would he have the confidence to be angry with that person in Macau?

If it were in the past, he would have long since bowed his head and admitted defeat to that person in Macau through other channels.

Now, Hong Hing's tough attitude was simply adding fuel to the fire!

What was most incredible was that the electronic game machines of a gambling nature were said to have reduced the number of gamblers in Macau by a full 10% to 20%.

Soon, rumors spread in the Jianghu that Wo Shing's Mong Kok branch master Long Gen and his head henchman Guanzaisen had earned quite a lot by running goods to Siam.

It was estimated that they could earn at least over a million every month!

It was said with nose and eyes, as if they had personally participated in the goods-running business and the subsequent money sharing.

The rumors were very clear: Long Gen and Guanzaisen, who had already tasted the sweetness, had begun to increase the intensity of goods-running, and perhaps they could become well-known goods-running crocodiles in Southeast Asia in the future.

For a time, related rumors spread in the Jianghu, making quite a few powerful big brothers restless.

The first to be unable to sit still were naturally the other big brothers of Wo Shing.

The uncle generation led by Deng Bo took advantage of the count collection at the end of the month to suddenly attack Long Gen: demanding that Long Gen disclose the specific details of the goods-running so that they could know what was going on and not be kept in the dark.

Long Gen naturally wouldn't agree; no one would believe this even if it were to fool a ghost!

It wasn't just wanting to figure out the specific situation of the Mong Kok branch's goods-running, and then wanting to get involved, or even get the dominance; it was simply wishful thinking.

He wasn't fighting alone!

The rising star of Tsuen Wan, Da D, and the big brother of the pill-selling line, Chuanbao, both spoke good words for him at the meeting, so Deng Bo and the others' sudden attack didn't achieve the intended effect.

"If you guys want to participate, you have to bring out exchange conditions that satisfy people!"

Long Gen said very bluntly: "This matter has little to do with the triad!"

After a fierce quarrel, it naturally ended unhappily.

But Deng Bo and the others certainly wouldn't easily let it go!

It was just that the scale of Long Gen and the others' goods-running business wasn't big yet, which was why they didn't show too much toughness.

Although Long Gen was unhappy, he didn't take it too much to heart.

The goods-running business for the next month was smooth and quite easy.

They didn't encounter any trouble at all and earned the money quite easily.

Because the volume of goods-running began to increase, they naturally earned more.

Whether it was Long Gen and Guanzaisen, or the second young master Lin, their harvest was much more than the first month.

It was too smooth, so smooth that they felt it was somewhat incredible.

They didn't know that the brothers Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Tianyang had helped quite a bit in secret.

Some of the connections in the capital of Siam were quietly opened by Jiang Tianyang for them.

Otherwise, wanting to be so relaxed, it would be impossible to appear!

No wonder they say some people are really like dog meat that can't be served on the table!

Having earned money, Guanzaisen naturally ran to Macau happily to dissipate.

Just from his style of throwing money, he naturally attracted the attention of interested people.

As everyone knew, once one was immersed in gambling, the whole person would undergo unpredictable changes.

Guanzaisen naturally couldn't be an exception, and then he was easily tricked into telling the truth by interested people.

The goods-running business led by his big brother Long Gen was really quite profitable.

The monthly income exceeded one million, and with the expansion of the scale, the income would only be more and more.

The most critical thing was that he revealed that the Southeast Asian goods-running market was broad and possessed quite huge market potential.

In short, the interested people who tricked him were all tempted.

In fact, there were only so many ways for triads to make money!

Except for fixed revenue, extra income was quite unsatisfactory.

The Mainland was a bottomless pit; no matter how many goods they sent in, they could eat it all.

The key was that the trading parties in the Mainland didn't have much Hong Kong dollars or dollars.

At this time, RMB couldn't be used normally in Hong Kong.

It was also because of this that the goods-running business between Hong Kong and the Mainland had great limitations.

This was also why the goods-running business between Hong Kong and the Mainland didn't explode until the late 90s.

As for running goods to Southeast Asia, because there was no precedent before, and the cost and risk were not small, there were really not many triad big brothers who had the courage to play.

Now, with Hong Hing and Wo Shing helping to pave the way, proving that it was indeed quite promising, what else was there to say?

Isn't it just running a large batch of clothing? It's not like they can't do it.

As a result, just when Long Gen and Guanzaisen were happy about the second month's income, all the other first-class triads in Hong Kong were operating, starting a tentative goods-running business.

As for the source of the clothing used for goods-running, they were all purchased through the Mainland!

By '88, whether it was Pengcheng or Yangcheng, the clothing factories and clothing trade volume had entered a violent acceleration mode.

The large-scale procurement from Hong Kong had little impact on the clothing market in the Mainland.

The key was that the procurement volume of the major first-class triads wasn't exaggerated.

But even so, Long Gen and Guanzaisen had already felt the competitive pressure.

There was no other reason; damn it, the first stop for these first-class triads who wanted to try goods-running was almost all Siam; it was simply unreasonable.

What made them feel most depressed was that the clothing purchase price for other triads' goods-running was much cheaper than theirs, which was very competitive.

"Second Young Master, we have to open a clothing factory in the Mainland; otherwise, we really can't compete!"

Finding the second young master Lin again, Guanzaisen smiled bitterly and briefly described the situation, finally saying helplessly: "I didn't expect those triads to not talk about martial arts; we have almost no cost advantage here, and we need to spend a lot of energy to open up other markets!"

The second young master Lin didn't expect the situation to change so quickly; he was unhappy but could only go with the flow!
