Hong Kong film: Undercover agent exposed? I turn evil and amass troops.

"The foreign trade company's development has gradually gotten on track, and we have almost reached an agreement with the suppliers."

"The city surveys in the inland areas are almost complete, and the marketing teams there are ready."

"Once we get our appliances over there, we can start selling them anytime."

Hearing that Brother Zha had everything ready, Huo Wenyao had nothing more to say.

Fortunately, he has talented people like Brother Zha under his command; otherwise, if he had to do everything himself, he would probably be exhausted long ago.

As his business expands further, Huo Wenyao has come to realize the importance of talent even more.

A talented person can help the boss with a lot of tasks, and there's no need to worry about messing things up.

The business world is unpredictable and ever-changing; without sufficient experience, it's difficult to gain a foothold.

If everyone could get rich so easily, then everyone in the port would be a wealthy businessman, and there would be no difference in social class.

For Huo Wenyao, the solution was simply to buy good home appliances at low cost, pay some customs fees, and then transport the goods to inland cities for sale.

It sounds simple, but there are many intricacies involved, making it difficult for the average person to achieve.

Even if Huo Wenyao had handled it personally, he wouldn't have done a better job than Zha Ge.

Therefore, Huo Wenyao genuinely relied on and liked Zha Ge.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about losing money when these appliances are shipped to inland cities for sale.

These things are now essential, or even luxuries, for the somewhat underdeveloped inland areas.

In the 70s, the three essential items for a wedding were a bicycle, a watch, and a sewing machine.

In the 80s, the three essential items for marriage became a television, a refrigerator, and a washing machine.

These electrical appliances are still quite rare for people in mainland China.

However, the price is so high that ordinary families simply cannot afford it, and even if they could, they might not be able to snag one.

So when Huo Wenyao shipped these essential items to mainland families, the mainland really welcomed them with open arms.

Not only will there be a series of preferential policies, but transportation costs and other expenses will also be greatly reduced.

It can even cause a frenzy among city residents, so there's no worry about finding a market for it.

So for Huo Wenyao, if he does this well, he will really be rich.

However, Huo Wenyao thought of something else and said to Brother Zha:

"Remember, we must be very strict about the quality of electrical products. We must never give inferior products to our compatriots on the mainland. This is the most important thing."

The huge market potential of mainland China, exemplified by "320," is the starting point for the plan.

For Tianmei Foreign Trade Company, ensuring quality is crucial for a successful start.

This is not only a matter of the company's reputation, but more importantly, it's about being worthy of the people's trust.

Therefore, Huo Wenyao definitely needs to remind people of this issue.

Zha Ge, who had anticipated this, said, "Don't worry, boss, we will strictly control it."

Huo Wenyao nodded, quite confident in his brother's abilities.

Once the foreign trade company is fully operational and profitable, then you'll have two cash cows.

Moreover, the profits of the foreign trade company will far exceed those of the bus company.

After all, the bus company is only limited to the port area, or even the entire port area, but only a part of it.

Therefore, even if the profit margin is large, there is still an upper limit.

Foreign trade companies are different; they deal with the entire population of mainland China.

Not only is the land vast and boundless, but the market is also enormous.

Moreover, electrical appliances are now considered a genuine luxury item.

Take a regular black and white television for example; it can easily cost over a thousand yuan.

Meanwhile, the average monthly salary for ordinary people in mainland China is only a few dozen yuan.

Therefore, adding an appliance to your home to enhance its appearance requires a considerable investment.

Moreover, even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it; you still need to get a ticket, which is very difficult.

If we can export the electrical appliances that are common in Hong Kong to the mainland, then the supply will definitely fall short of demand.

Although electrical appliances require more investment and have a higher unit price compared to buses, the profit margin is much larger.

Things that are commonplace in Hong Kong can fetch much higher prices when sold on the mainland.

Of course, this doesn't mean you can set prices arbitrarily; you definitely have to take into account the market conditions in mainland China.

If the price is too high, not many people will be able to afford it, so it is necessary to send marketing personnel to investigate the local market conditions.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. If sold at the local price, it would be a considerable profit, and with high demand, there was no worry about selling it.

Moreover, it is understood that there are very few large-scale electrical appliance processing plants in mainland China now.

It would be hard to find a competitor of the same level. Once TiMi enters the mainland market, it will be absolutely invincible.

Moreover, as long as these products are marketed as foreign goods, they will inevitably become more popular.

Of course, this is not false advertising; some of the parts manufactured under contract are indeed produced overseas.

Domestic products are still in their infancy and face many problems, while foreign brands are very popular.

There's nothing we can do about it; after all, the quality of foreign products is far superior to that of domestic ones, which is an indisputable fact.

So it's no wonder that people don't support domestic products; after all, nobody's money comes from thin air.

TiMi is now thriving under Brother Zha's leadership, and Huo Wenyao is no longer worried.

Instead, he gave instructions on something else.

"During this period, we need to find some talent who can edit, film, and photograph videos."

Upon hearing Huo Wenyao's words, Brother Zha seemed somewhat confused, not understanding why Huo Wenyao wanted these things.

Seeing the puzzled look in Brother Zha's eyes, Huo Wenyao smiled and, without keeping him in suspense, said:

"I want to start a television station and I need talent in this field."

"Don't worry about the license plates, I have a plan. Just follow the instructions."

Brother Zha was clearly surprised by the news that Huo Wenyao had told him.

However, it's understandable when you think about it, since Huo Wenyao suffered from this problem before.

Various community organizations in the port have their own television stations or media outlets, giving them control over public opinion.

Previously, Huo Wenyao had always been in a passive position in this regard.

If it weren't for Fang Siwei and Le Huizhen, Huo Wenyao wouldn't have the title of city hero.

Therefore, Huo Wenyao urgently needs to make up for this weakness so as not to suffer losses.

With the support of two stunning beauties, Yue Huizhen and Fang Siwei, who are also two leading actresses with huge fan bases, the show is a perfect match.

As long as Huo Wenyao can get the TV station up and running, catching up won't be difficult.

"Okay, boss, I'll make the arrangements and try to gather these talents as quickly as possible."

Brother Zha said respectfully that he would resolutely carry out the tasks assigned by Huo Wenyao.

Just then, Tian Yangsheng knocked on the door and came in, looking at Huo Wenyao and saying:

"Boss, Ma Jun has brought dozens of police officers to stake out our place."

Huo Wenyao laughed. This opportunity had come to him; he had been looking for it all along.

"Is that kid Lian Haodong still in Tsim Sha Tsui?"

"This kid has tasted the sweetness of success lately, and he's been hanging around our bars and KTVs with drugs all the time."

"That's fine. Pass on Lian Haodong's message to Ma Jun, and we can sit back and watch the show."

"Boss, Lian Haodong is very cunning. He always sends people out to keep watch, and they run away as soon as something goes wrong. That kid is very clever."

"Then take out all his whistles, and let's see who will tip him off then."

Huo Wenyao's face was as cold as frost, and he spoke with a chilling murderous aura.

Zha Ge and the others also looked at Huo Wenyao with serious expressions, their hearts tightening. It had been a long time since their boss had shown such a murderous look.

"Let's go see a good show."

Huo Wenyao's expression returned to normal in an instant, and he looked at everyone with a calm and composed smile.

"By the way, don't let Mayamu get away; we still need to play one last game on the mountain."

"321" (Brother Kun) is up to something again.

Tsim Sha Tsui, East Man Bar.

Ma Jun and a few of his men found a booth.
