Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

After thinking about it in the end, Zhao Donghuai still chose Reward A, which increased his injury resistance by 2.

When he woke up again, it was already past 11 am.

Sitting on the bedside and lighting a cigarette, Zhao Donghuai thought it was time to raise money. The hundreds of thousands he had raised through crowdfunding were really not enough to complete the filming of New World. He should give Ah Fa less remuneration, and everyone else would have to pay it as well. All the remuneration would be given. Once you get out, there will only be a handful left.

"How to make money?"

"Returning to the mainland to do business? In my many simulations, I always returned to the mainland to make money, which is another kind of rise. However, the crew is almost established, so the time to make money must be fast!"

"It's best to turn hundreds of thousands into millions in a month or two. Then you won't have to worry about turning on the machine. If you leave it vacant for a month or two, it will also allow Afa, Wan Ziliang, Lu Liangwei and others to settle down." For the role in the script, try to be in the best possible condition to join the cast."

What kind of business can turn hundreds of thousands into millions in one or two months, with profits several times or even higher? In the 1910s and 1920s, such business was really hard to find.

In this day and age, quite a few.

Let’s not talk about imitating Boss Zong to set up Wahaha, which has built a fortune of hundreds of millions in a few years, and let’s not talk about making A-grade pirated brand-name clothes and making money by selling A-grade goods on Hong Kong Island. The former takes too long, and he doesn’t have Boss Zong’s Business capabilities.

the latter? If you are too involved with the community, you will be easily ganged up on by the community to grab projects.

"How about starting a junk collection business? For example, collecting waste paper..."

After thinking about it, Zhao Donghuai thought of the waste paper business. Don't think this business is too low! Just like Ms. Zhang, she started collecting waste paper in the 1980s. She came to Hong Kong from the mainland to collect it, and then went to her sister’s house to collect it. She was born in 2009, after the millennium, and became the richest woman in China.

Even if she was the richest man for a short time.

But can any individual's net worth of tens of billions or more be comparable to that of ordinary people? ?

If you look at the wealth history of some of the richest people in later generations, you will know that it is too easy to make money when you are at the forefront of the times. Not to mention that in the millennium, you went to South Korea to buy games and came back to open an online game company in the mainland.

Not to mention investing in big and small horse stocks.

A waste paper collection business in the 1980s made huge profits! ! Completely legal and compliant!

To give a simple example, around 2021, the recycling price of a ton of A4 waste paper is more than one thousand yuan. The price varies in different provinces and cities, but it is roughly more than one thousand, or even less than one thousand one ton.

You buy good A4 paper on the market, clean, it costs eight to nine thousand one ton.

Seven to eight times, a price difference of seven to eight hundred percent!

How difficult do you think it is to change from waste paper to good paper? ? According to the modern paper-making process of turning old into new, one ton of 1,000 kilograms of waste paper can basically make 800 kilograms of good paper.

Once in and out, the profit is almost instantaneous. Who makes the profit?

Otherwise, Ms. Zhang would not collect waste paper from Hong Kong Island and become the richest woman after the millennium.

One more point, in the 1910s and 20s of the 21st century, was China short of paper? There is no shortage, because at that time, the forest resources, forest resources, etc. needed for China's papermaking had already become abundant with the development of technology, and there were sufficient fast-growing forests.

Just like the fast-growing broilers cultivated by KFC, native chickens only come out of the market in a year, while broiler chickens take more than a month. In addition, at that time, there were also a lot of waste paper resources in the mainland, which were massive. Most of the profits from converting waste paper into new paper were taken by the paper manufacturers, and the garbage collectors earned much less.

But before the popularization of technology, China was unwilling to cut down various resources to make paper. The paper shortage was many times more serious than it was in the 1910s and 20s of the 21st century.

The relationship between supply and demand is here. There was far more paper shortage in the 1980s than thirty years later, so the price of paper was on average more expensive...

But the cost? At this time, there are not so many abundant waste paper resources in the mainland.

It's because Hong Kong Island is pouring huge amounts of waste paper into the mainland, making huge profits.

If you transport the waste paper to Pengcheng, or to a place further north, you will be embarrassed to chat with your peers if the net profit is one times, but the net profit is about the same if it is two or three times.

More than four times is happy.

Otherwise, why did Ms. Zhang, the future richest woman, quit her job as a middle- and senior-level manager of a joint venture company, ignore the promising prospects, and come to Hong Kong Island to collect waste paper with her family fortune of tens of thousands? ? In the early to mid-1980s, households worth ten thousand yuan became prominent.

Everyone is envious!

But that person resolutely resigned and came to Hong Kong Island with a household worth of 30,000 yuan to collect scraps. A few years later, he spent more than 100 million U.S. dollars to build a paper mill!

It's only been a few years. How did 30,000 Chinese coins turn into more than 100 million dollars? Waste paper!

This still refers to the early to mid-1980s. Most of the waste paper recycling business was controlled by Hong Kong community groups, such as Xin Kee, 14 Dui, Hutchison or Yi Sheng.

Colors, gambling, fandom, etc. are generally symbols of a society, but don't think that all the society's industries are those. Smuggling of red oil, tobacco, electrical appliances, etc. are also profit-making industries of the society.

The same goes for waste paper recycling.

The richest woman came to Hong Kong Island to collect junk. She was often oppressed by the society in the early days. For example, a group of gangsters said that you collect scrap paper? I brought a hundred kilograms of waste paper that had been soaked in water and was too rotten to be used. It also gained a lot of weight due to the water content, so I forced you to collect it.

Another example is that there is a lot of waste paper stuck to the garbage that is difficult or impossible to remove, and you are forced to collect it.

Whoever started his career had to compete with the club in junior high and middle school!

There are such huge profits after the fight.

Of course, Ms. Zhang didn’t just start her career in Hong Kong Island’s waste paper industry. Her biggest profit was collecting waste paper from her sister’s house and transporting it back to the mainland.

How should I put it? In the 1980s and 1990s, Huaxia Shipping Group shipped goods from the port to Amei's west coast, often with full cargo, but half of the ten return trips were empty ships. The reason was that at that time, Huaxia had too little foreign exchange and wanted to start from I can buy enough goods from outside, but I don’t have any foreign exchange.

Return trip with an empty ship? ! !

Just like in the 1910s and 1920s, I took a taxi from the county town to the next city. It was obviously a one-way trip, but the driver asked for 70 or 80 yuan, and charged double the one-way fee. But when I came back, there were passers-by on the roadside, and it turned out to be us. If you hail a taxi with the city's taxi license plate, you'll get a ride back for maybe ten or twenty bucks.

For the driver on the return journey, it’s only ten yuan. Anyway, the fee charged when he came was enough.

The future richest woman took a fancy to this business opportunity, and could often pull paper back from Amei's house and pull a cargo ship at one-tenth or even cheaper than normal one-way shipping.

After all, in this era, when cross-border shipping returns empty ships to try their luck to find merchants, compared with the taxi drivers who will attract repeat customers on the roadside 30 years later? The difficulty increased dozens of times.

Amei's waste paper recycling industry is also relatively complete these days. When you buy waste paper in the market, you basically don't have to worry about it being soaked in water, stained with a lot of garbage that cannot be removed, etc. like the bad guys in Hong Kong sell it to you. .

This is so profitable!

A trip that turns hundreds of thousands into millions is not a dream.

One way trip from Amei's home on the west coast to some ports in China only takes more than ten days.

"In this era, from the perspective of future generations, there is gold everywhere. This is the power of the Plaza Accord. If you don't have enough capital, you may not make more than collecting waste paper."

"A few points. First, go north and contact the paper mill first, and talk about how I can transport it back and sell it to you. Second, find a Chinese shipping company. Third, go to Amei's west coast to collect waste paper and ship it to the ship."

"One trip a month, one business, and I started with hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in crowdfunding capital, which is comparable to the accumulation of several years in the previous Sims when I went north with tens of thousands of dollars!"

Huayuan Group began to restore the Huaxia and Amei family Pacific transportation lines in 1979!

In 1980, China's U.S. knife reserve was negative 1.3 billion U.S. dollars. In 1982, last year, the entire China's U.S. knife reserve was 7 billion U.S. dollars. Many of them were from the Huayuan Group, which has been running around the sea, transporting various things for sale.

Why don’t you think Huayuan Group buys waste paper?

In the early 1980s, all China's 360 industries included various major countries and heavy industries. Which one did not need foreign exchange and advanced equipment? Want to get in line for waste paper recycling? The paper mill contacted Huayuan to discuss the business, but even in the 1990s, there was no queue.
