Chapter 813: Huge Profits
When Qu Hongli heard Secretary Zhou wanted to talk to his father, he was startled and quickly grabbed Secretary Zhou. "Secretary Zhou, it's such a small matter, and you still need to talk to my dad about it? You're making a big deal out of nothing. Let me tell you, if we buy the machine for making tapes, I can pay it back within a month. There's no need to tell my dad. You don't know how popular those tapes are here and in the three northeastern provinces."
"And as far as I know, this tape hasn't appeared in the south yet. My friend is from Shanghai, and those songs have never been heard there. If we can capture the southern market, we'll make a fortune!"
Secretary Zhou thought for a moment and asked, "What if the company that makes the tapes finds out you're making pirated tapes and sues you? Will they shut them down? Wouldn't that mean all the money would be wasted?"
Qu Shao didn't care at all and said smugly, "We built the factory in Modu, but I heard this tape factory is in Jing City. It's so far away, how can they reach that far? Besides, my buddy's father is the mayor of a district in Modu City. It would be a wonder if ordinary people could win the lawsuit."
After hearing this, Secretary Zhou thought about it and realized that it was true. The people should not fight against the officials. Once you are on someone else's territory, who can do anything to them? You can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
Seeing that Secretary Zhou was a little bit reluctant, he immediately beckoned, "Secretary Zhou, if this thing goes through, I'll give you 10% of my share as a thank you for helping me with the loan!"
Secretary Zhou's eyes lit up and he asked, "Did Mr. Qu really give me 10% of the dividends?"
Qu Shao nodded: "Don't worry, Secretary Zhou, I will definitely keep my promise and give you 10% of the profits!"
Secretary Zhou clenched his right fist, smacked his left, and said, "Okay, then I'll break the rules and talk to the bank and loan you 300,000 yuan. But Mr. Qu must pay off the loan as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't be able to plug this huge hole, and then we'll both be in jail!"
When Qu Shao heard that Secretary Zhou agreed, he was overjoyed and immediately asked Secretary Zhou to apply for a loan from the bank in the name of the district government.
The next day, the bank funds arrived as expected, and Qu Shao rushed to the Magic City with the huge sum of money as quickly as possible.
And Mr. Fang from Shanghai also contacted four second-generation officials and rich people who he usually got along well with.
Young Master Fang first asked them all to listen to the songs on the tape he brought back from Beijing, and then he told them his and Young Master Qu's plan.
These people usually idled around, either drinking or flirting with girls, often being scolded by their families. Now that they finally had what they thought was a legitimate job, they weren't afraid of the company in Beijing suing them. In Shanghai, they were the kings, and they could get away with anything, whether it was the underworld or the legitimate society.
After listening to the song and Fang Shao's plan, everyone was eager to try. They used various means to get 300,000 Mi gold each. As soon as Qu Shao arrived, they immediately arranged for people to go to Japan to purchase tape burners.
A total of more than 1.8 million MiGold was spent to purchase six machines, which were transported back to the Magic City by cargo ships day and night.
When the machine arrived at the port, the steel structure factory had also been completed. We immediately hired technicians to install it according to the drawings, and the machine was successfully tested two days later.
On the third day, the first tape was successfully copied, and from then on, the business became unstoppable. A large number of employees were recruited, and the business worked day and night to produce tapes.
Then, the songs sung by Li Moer and her friends became popular in all cities and villages in the south.
Liu Tianhua and several other singers were already well-known except in remote areas.
The six young men also tasted the joy of making money on their own. They were no longer the parasites in their families' eyes or the second-generation rich kids who only knew how to fight and pick up girls all day long.
Six machines could produce approximately 5,000 tapes per day. The cost was about three yuan, and the selling price was already 21. Excluding expenses and labor, the daily profit reached about 80,000 yuan.
These young men also tasted the excitement of making a fortune. Every day they were living a life of luxury, drinking, picking up girls, gambling, and doing whatever was exciting.
Today is the fifteenth day since we started selling tapes, and it is also the day for the dividend distribution.
