Chapter 122 Marketing Methods of Instant Noodle Company
Lu Yongqiang was getting angrier and angrier after spending two million for nothing, so he came here early in the morning to meet the two of them.
He no longer planned to let the two of them leave, but wanted them to make money for him to recover some of his losses, otherwise he would definitely not let them leave.
As for whether the two would continue to cause trouble for him, Lu Yongqiang had not thought about it, but one thing was very clear, that is, Lu Yongqiang would not tolerate them. It would be fine if they did not cause trouble, but if they did, Lu Yongqiang would definitely take strong measures. Just like he said, he would break their legs directly and see how they could cause trouble again.
After Lu Yongqiang left, Duxie asked someone to send Lanzai Hua and the other man to the clinic to get medicine, and then took them to the security company to recuperate. Since Lu Yongqiang asked them to keep an eye on the two of them, the security company was the most suitable place. Everyone in it was Lu Yongqiang's people, and the two of them would have difficulty escaping even if they had wings.
In the afternoon, Le Huizhen called Lu Yongqiang. Knowing that Lu Yongqiang didn't want her to ask about the affairs of Lanzai Hua and the other man, she was smart this time and didn't ask about them. She just said she wanted to treat Lu Yongqiang to dinner, but Lu Yongqiang ignored her, saying he was busy, and then hung up the phone.
Lu Yongqiang thought about it all night last night. Although Le Huizhen was beautiful, she was troublesome. In addition, Mr. Le suddenly agreed to let Le Huizhen contact him. This not only did not make him happy, but made him feel defensive. He always felt that the Le family was plotting against him.
So after much consideration, Lu Yongqiang decided to keep his distance from Le Huizhen. On the one hand, it could prevent the frustrating things that happened last night, and on the other hand, it could also guard against the Le family's calculations.
In fact, Lu Yongqiang was not wrong. The old man of the Le family suddenly changed his tone and was indeed planning to target Lu Yongqiang, but he was not interested in Lu Yongqiang's current businesses.
Among all the businesses that Lu Yongqiang has openly opened up to the public, the most profitable one is the food company, which can bring Lu Yongqiang nearly 10 million in profits every month. Although this is a good business, it involves many people in the underworld. Even if it is given to the Le family, the Le family may not be able to handle it.
In addition to the food company, the shoe and clothing store he and Thirteenth Sister run also makes a lot of profit every month after it stabilizes, about 1.5 million. This money seems like a lot, but it is still too little for the Le family.
Then there's Lu Yongqiang's entertainment city. Although Lu Yongqiang emphasized that most of the customers there were his own family, and therefore offered a discount, with prices half the price of other nightclubs, the nightclub was still profitable. Even with the 50% discount, it seemed to be operating on a strategy of small profits but quick turnover, with monthly profits still around two million. While this nightclub was profitable, it was considered Lu Yongqiang's home base, and the Le family wouldn't have any ill intentions.
Apart from these miscellaneous businesses, the construction company is the only business that can be put on the table. The company now has sixteen decoration teams and nearly four hundred craftsmen. The company's leasing business is also developing very well. Now it not only does business in Tuen Mun, but also has its own stores in prosperous places such as Central, Causeway Bay and Kowloon City.
However, Lu Yongqiang was optimistic about the future housing prices in Gangcheng. He was not comparing it with the situation more than ten years later, but he clearly remembered that before 97, the housing prices in Gangcheng had been rising all the way. Even if there was a decline in the middle, it would rise again soon. Naturally, Lu Yongqiang was unwilling to miss this opportunity to make money.
Therefore, the construction company's monthly profits were basically used to purchase stores and houses. As long as he thought it was suitable, Lu Yongqiang would let Dong Si take it. Sometimes, if there was not enough money in the company's account, he would even add more money.
Lu Yongqiang analyzed that the Lok family was very likely targeting his construction company, but Lu Yongqiang guessed wrong. The Lok family did not have any intentions towards his construction company, but were attracted by his status as a big boss in the Tuen Mun community.
I told Liansheng Big D that there are a few big water monkeys who want to grab some land in the New Territories, and the Lok family is one of them.
The New Territories are different from other places in Hong Kong. The most powerful forces in the New Territories are always clan forces. Even the foreigners are unwilling to provoke the clan forces in the New Territories. The only forces that can fight against the clan forces are the community forces.
The most powerful societies in the New Territories are, firstly, Tung Sing, secondly, Big D, the Luen Sheng, after all, they have wiped out Tsuen Wan, and thirdly, Hung Hing. As for the other small societies, they can basically be ignored.
However, the fact that Tung Sing sells fans makes many people feel uneasy. Although Hung Hing is also quite powerful, it is divided into three flags in Tuen Mun, with three people in charge, making cooperation difficult.
So after weighing the pros and cons, these big water monkeys decided to support Big D and push Big D out to help them gain territory.
After Big D became the co-leader of Liansheng, many of Big D's people were involved in Tsim Sha Tsui because of Lin Huaile's calculations. Because of the things happening in Tsim Sha Tsui, Big D was not too concerned about helping others to grab land at first.
Unexpectedly, because of this lack of attention, some people were eager for quick success and actually gave up some of the benefits to Big D.
Big D was greedy by nature, and after he figured out the truth, he used it to control the big water monkeys behind him.
Many people are dissatisfied with Big D's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but they have few choices. Many people have to accept the loss and have to renegotiate the distribution of benefits with Big D.
The Le family was originally prepared to admit defeat, but Lu Yongqiang's strong fight with the Zheng family made Mr. Le see Lu Yongqiang's strength. In addition, Lu Yongqiang's surname is Lu, which made Mr. Le think that although Lu Yongqiang's strength is not as good as Big D now, Lu Yongqiang is a local. Perhaps if Lu Yongqiang comes forward, things may go more smoothly.
So after the matter between Lu Yongqiang and the Zheng family was settled, Le Huizhen was released from house arrest, and Old Master Le even relaxed and did not object to Le Huizhen's relationship with Lu Yongqiang.
The reason why no one from the Le family has approached Lu Yongqiang now is because Lu Yongqiang and Le Huizhen have not confirmed their relationship. The Le family is afraid that a situation like that of Big D will happen again, so they are temporarily keeping their hands off.
Of course, because the Le family did not take any action, Lu Yongqiang had no idea the reason. If he knew that the Le family was going to support him in expanding land in the New Territories, Lu Yongqiang would probably be overjoyed.
Lu Yongqiang had ideas about the real estate industry in the New Territories from the beginning, but the reason he didn't take any action was that this investment was a long-term one.
Lu Yongqiang asked people about the policy on small houses in the New Territories and the issue of small house buildings, but the results were somewhat unexpected. Someone did suggest building small house buildings to make more efficient use of the limited land in Hong Kong, but this proposal was not adopted by the Hong Kong government.
In other words, the timing is not right now. It is impossible for Lu Yongqiang to develop like the Lu family in "Overheard 3". Even if he takes over a lot of Ding rights now, he will not be able to cash them in in a short period of time.
There is no profit in the short term, so Lu Yongqiang, who is developing rapidly, naturally does not want to invest money at this time. Therefore, Lu Yongqiang would rather spend money to buy stores and houses than invest in Ding Quan, let alone spend money to acquire land in the New Territories.
But working for the Le family is different. Not only can he make money from it, but he can also make proper use of the Le family's resources. If Lu Yongqiang hesitates about such a good thing, it would be disrespectful to the idea of making money.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month, Lu Yongqiang put all his energy into the instant noodle factory. Now the instant noodle factory is finally back on track.
The factory now has three flavors of instant noodles, one is red soup flavor, one is clear soup flavor, and the last one is sour soup flavor. The three flavors are further divided into seven types of instant noodles. The red soup flavors are braised, spicy, and fragrant and spicy. The clear soup flavors are stewed bones and stewed chicken with mushrooms. The sour soup flavors are hot and sour and sauerkraut.
The product was available, but sales were not good at the beginning. However, since Lu Yongqiang was in a gang, he naturally had his own way of doing things. He forced the promotion on his territory and Dongxing's territory. Regardless of whether the instant noodles sold well or not, convenience stores and small supermarkets had to put his products in the most conspicuous place. This requirement was indeed a bit excessive, but Lu Yongqiang was the boss of the gang, and he also had the camel as his enemy, so the convenience store and small supermarket owners dared not say anything and could only put the products in a conspicuous place.
Thanks to Lu Yongqiang's efforts, instant noodles have now opened up some sales channels and sales have temporarily stabilized.
As for the instant noodles that Lu Yongqiang had high hopes for, they are now available. In order to attract children, Lu Yongqiang named the instant noodles "Little Bear Instant Noodles", and there is a cute embarrassed little bear on the packaging.
But good things come to those who wait. After the instant noodles were produced, they were not as popular as Lu Yongqiang had expected.
Lu Yongqiang first thought of collecting cards. He asked someone to design small cards of the 108 heroes in Water Margin. He thought this would help to increase sales, but perhaps due to cultural differences, this trick didn't work at all.
Later, Lu Yongqiang decided to go all out and asked someone to design Jianghu Fengyun cards. On the cards were printed cartoon portraits of the leaders of the major Hongxing gangs, with red sticks and white paper fans, and then the stories that made these people famous were written.
The reason why Lu Yongqiang made this kind of card was that he was really desperate. He just wanted to take advantage of the few reputations of these people. He didn't think it would succeed at first, so he just wanted to give it a try. Unexpectedly, the effect was immediate. Not only children under ten years old liked it, but also those seventeen or eighteen-year-old children liked it.
When designing this kind of card, Lu Yongqiang was initially afraid that the big guys in the society would cause trouble for him. Unexpectedly, these big guys were actually very happy after knowing about it. After all, Lu Yongqiang wrote only good words on the card, which to these big guys was more like deliberately promoting their reputation.
Even Dongxing Camel, who knew about this, called Lu Yongqiang and asked him to produce a set of cards of their Dongxing bosses.
Lu Yongqiang readily agreed to Luotuo's request, and then he took the initiative and called Da D to ask if he wanted to promote He Liansheng as well. Da D, who was known for his good manners, naturally agreed. He even designed a cartoon avatar for him, and the text on the cards was also decided by Da D.
After Big D's cards came out, he showed them off everywhere, which made some people very excited. One after another, some people designed their own cards, and this became a customized service.
