Chapter 163: Thanks to Tycoon Cheuk Tze-keung for the gift.
[Ding, daily intelligence system refreshed.]
[Crime (Purple): Cheuk Tze-keung successfully extorted eight hundred million hong kong dollars from a second Tycoon and kept him in a unit in Sai Kung.]
[Economy (Purple): A Tycoon learned from Sir Li that Sham Shui Po was to be expanded and decided to invest.]
[Politics (Purple): The Deputy Commissioner of ICAC was quite interested in George's proposal. He had his eyes on Traitor Dong, the new subordinate of Chaozhou Guy.]
Lin Feng glanced helplessly at the big bed, where Fang Ting and Lok Wai-Jan were sleeping soundly.
He had resigned himself to it; no matter how many times he refreshed, he couldn't get anything beyond these three purple intelligence items.
Then he thought,
"If my wife is lucky, doesn't that mean I'm lucky?"
He quickly categorized and classified the intelligence in his mind.
Lin Feng walked out in his pajamas, and just as he was about to drive to the garage, he suddenly stopped.
No!
Cheuk Tze-keung lost one billion forty million hong kong dollars last time; was he completely unprepared this time?
If he went, would he encounter some trouble?
Cheuk Tze-keung's skills were just so-so; Lin Feng wasn't afraid of him.
But it was early morning, and even a slight sound would disturb the area.
If he went himself... Lin Feng immediately returned to the room, pulled out his phone, and called Li Fu:
"Xiao Fu, are you asleep?"
Li Fu honestly replied:
"I'm already asleep."
Lin Feng said unceremoniously:
"Call Wang Jianjun, and then call half of the men."
"The men brought from our Mainland, you go to a certain unit in Sai Kung."
Li Fu suddenly woke up:
"Brother Feng, what kind of operation is this?"
Lin Feng said calmly:
"Cheuk Tze-keung extorted eight hundred million money from a second Tycoon, and it's all in that unit."
"You first arrange for the brothers and prepare the boats."
"Have these fifty brothers bring back two hundred million, and bring the remaining six hundred million back to me."
Li Fu felt his scalp tingle:
"Alright, I'll arrange for people to do it immediately."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"I'll wait for you at home."
Li Fu had no hint of sleepiness. He quickly got up and went to Wang Jianjun's room, knocking twice softly:
"Jian Jun, we have a mission!"
In less than a minute, Wang Jianjun was already up:
"What mission?"
Li Fu pulled him to the living room and explained the situation.
Wang Jianjun's eyes nearly popped out:
"Cheuk Tze-keung succeeded again?"
"Didn't the boss say he just extorted one billion forty million hong kong dollars from a Tycoon? Now he's extorted eight hundred million hong kong dollars from a second Tycoon?"
"This guy practically has no rivals in the kidnapping business."
Li Fu was unfazed:
"What do you mean no rivals? This is clearly our transport captain."
Wang Jianjun felt that Li Fu was absolutely right and nodded repeatedly.
Suddenly, he paused.
"Brother Fu, you mean the one billion forty million hong kong dollars Cheuk Tze-keung extorted before, wasn't it taken by the boss?"
Li Fu gave him a look, letting Wang Jianjun figure it out himself.
The latter was instantly stunned.
Holy cow!
It really was!
Li Fu drove him, heading straight for New Territories. His tone was very strange:
"Isn't it a coincidence? I arranged the people from our Mainland in New Territories."
"It's very close to Sai Kung."
Wang Jianjun laughed heartily:
"This shows that Cheuk Tze-keung was not destined for this windfall."
Li Fu nodded repeatedly:
"Exactly!"
Wang Jianjun pondered:
"Two hundred million isn't actually a lot. A briefcase can hold ten million, so twenty briefcases would be enough."
"The troublesome part is getting it back to Victoria Peak."
Li Fu grinned:
"That's simple. I'll arrange two large trucks."
"We have fifty brothers helping us load the trucks."
Wang Jianjun reminded him:
"Is it alright for our Mainland to know that the boss is doing such things?"
Li Fu pursed his lips:
"Didn't Brother Feng give our Mainland two hundred million?"
"He's going to give another two hundred million tomorrow."
Wang Jianjun immediately fell silent.
Li Fu pulled out his phone and called Hon Ban in Kwai Tsing:
"Binny, this is Xiao Fu. Are there any boats going to our Mainland tonight? I have quite a few brothers."
"...Is it safe?"
"Haha, good, then it's settled."
"Two hours... that's enough!"
Hanging up the phone, Li Fu shrugged:
"Done!"
Wang Jianjun gave a thumbs up:
"Brother Fu is mighty! You're clearly the boss's head housekeeper. I think if the boss didn't have you, he'd definitely be in a mess."
Li Fu said exasperatedly:
"This isn't a good job."
"I was sleeping, and Brother Feng called me up."
"And he told me to bring you along."
Wang Jianjun was unfazed:
"Two hundred thousand a month, you know!"
"It's worth it to risk my life for the boss."
Li Fu shook his head:
"It's more than two hundred thousand. To be honest with you, don't think that just because the shares are only five percent, it's little."
"Let me put it this way, just from protection fees, it'll be tens of millions a year."
"So, how much money do you think we can make by the end of the year?"
Wang Jianjun's face glowed red:
"Following the boss was truly the right decision."
"Team Leader, thank you."
Li Fu glared at him:
"Did you slip up? Call me Brother Fu."
Wang Jianjun nodded repeatedly:
"I was too excited."
In front of others, Wang Jianjun would never show such a side; only in front of Li Fu would he be like this.
Li Fu laughed:
"Brother Feng told me that after a while, he'll let you go back home. It's like wearing fine clothes at night if you don't return to your Mainland when you're rich."
"You've made money working outside, so you should show it off properly."
Wang Jianjun suddenly asked:
"Brother Fu, didn't you go back home before? What was your experience?"
Li Fu said softly:
"Experience, huh... It was very glorious!"
Wang Jianjun was surprised:
"Glorious?"
Li Fu nodded repeatedly:
"It was glorious!"
"Don't forget, what kind of money did I remit back home? Foreign exchange!"
"I've been with the boss for three years, and I alone have remitted three to four million in foreign exchange."
"When they heard I was coming back, the villagers almost went crazy."
"The village head came, the township head came, and the county head also came..."
"I heard that someone from the city was originally going to come too, but luckily Team Leader Shi went."
"After Team Leader Shi arrived, it became even more incredible..."
Wang Jianjun laughed heartily, his eyes full of envy:
"Team Leader Shi is from the provincial department; in the village, he's a big official from the province."
Li Fu shrugged:
"So, it was very, very glorious."
"Especially the VCD factory, they even sent me many snacks and new gadgets."
"Brother Feng treats us incredibly well."
Wang Jianjun was full of yearning:
"Isn't this what we came out to do business for?"
"Everyone wants to make their family live better, and if they can be respected in their Mainland, that's even better."
Li Fu laughed:
"As long as you can remit money back home, you definitely can."
"A family with ten thousand yuan is incredible."
"What's more, this is foreign exchange."
Wang Jianjun chuckled:
"I originally thought about risking my life here, but I never expected that by following the boss, I could also contribute to our Mainland."
"This is a good job!"
Li Fu reminded him:
"Don't be careless. What Brother Feng does is like dancing on a tightrope; a slight oversight can attract the attention of enemies."
"At that time, we absolutely cannot be soft-handed."
Wang Jianjun nodded slightly:
"Chiang Tin-Sung of Hung Hing could even be ambushed outside You Gu Qi Restaurant... I'm mentally prepared for this."
"However, the boss said that most of his enemies are dead."
Li Fu sighed:
"When a man walks by the river, how can his shoes not get wet... Brother Feng seems carefree, but his enemies are all unpredictable."
"There are some in the business world, and even more in the Triad."
Wang Jianjun said seriously:
"I will block bullets for him."
Li Fu chuckled:
"Brother Feng won't let you do that."
Wang Jianjun asked curiously:
"Why?"
Li Fu said:
"Brother Feng often says that a person's life is only once, and for a little money, there's no need to risk your life."
"He once told me that if you encounter an abnormally powerful enemy that you can't defeat, save your life and escape, then you can avenge him."
Wang Jianjun didn't answer but asked instead:
"Then what would Brother Feng do?"
Li Fu laughed:
"Does that even need to be said? Just look at the knife scars on his body!"
"Don't listen to Brother Feng talking as if he's so rational; he's truly crazy."
"If he encountered such a situation, he wouldn't let you block bullets for him; he would be the first to charge."
"Just listen to Brother Feng's words and don't take them too seriously."
Wang Jianjun asked with a smile:
"Brother Fu, what would you do if the boss was in danger?"
Li Fu said without thinking:
"I'd definitely charge forward."
Wang Jianjun smiled:
"That's why I decided to block bullets for him."
Li Fu was speechless.
Was this situation strange? A boss who didn't need people to block bullets for him, yet there were people willing to do so.
But upon closer thought, it wasn't strange at all.
Wang Jianjun suddenly said:
"Speaking of this, Brother Fu, you could have handled it yourself. Why did the boss send me along too?"
Li Fu replied, "Cheuk Tze-keung and his accomplices might be inside. This guy is someone who dared to extort Tycoon and the second Tycoon, so he might have firearms."
A cold glint flashed in Wang Jianjun's eyes: "How should we deal with him?"
Li Fu said coolly, "As we please."
Wang Jianjun shrugged, "As you please, or as I please?"
Li Fu was speechless. After thinking seriously, he said, "As you please."
Wang Jianjun clapped his hands and said, "Then it's happily decided. If we encounter Cheuk Tze-keung and he doesn't resist, we'll spare his life."
"If he dares to resist, throw him into the sea to feed the fish."
After saying that, he specifically glanced at Li Fu.
Li Fu said, speechless, "What more is there to say?"
"Are you worried I won't allow it?"
Wang Jianjun chuckled, "Team Leader, you are kind-hearted."
Li Fu sneered, "I just don't bully the weak. The people we deal with have always made a practice of bullying the weak."
"That Cheuk Tze-keung was a wanted criminal before."
Wang Jianjun's eyes nearly popped out: "He's a wanted criminal and he still dared to extort Tycoon and the second Tycoon?"
Li Fu shrugged, "Didn't I finish my sentence? Cheuk Tze-keung robbed a cash-in-transit vehicle. It's said there was 100 million hong kong dollar on it."
Wang Jianjun was even more confused: "With such a massive case, the police didn't pursue him?"
Li Fu said helplessly, "Let me finish..."
"The police caught Cheuk Tze-keung, but during the court trial, he was acquitted due to insufficient evidence."
"Cheuk Tze-keung raised his hands and posed in a cheering gesture at the courthouse entrance, which was photographed by reporters."
"Do you know what title they gave that pose?"
Wang Jianjun shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
Li Fu sneered continuously: "The victory of the weak."
Wang Jianjun was speechless: "Those reporters must be blind, right?"
Li Fu sneered, "Faced with such a person, I won't have an ounce of sympathy."
Wang Jianjun indicated he understood.
So the two arrived at a certain location in the New Territories, where two large trucks had already been delivered in advance.
Li Fu said to the awakened crowd, "The plan has changed. Half of the people will transport goods back to the Mainland early this morning. Half of you step forward randomly."
Immediately, half of the people stepped forward.
Li Fu waved his hand, "Two people, get in the truck!"
"The rest go back to rest."
The order was given, and its execution was silent.
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun returned to the car and drove straight to a certain location in Sai Kung.
Coincidentally, these two places were only about ten minutes' drive apart.
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun took the lead. The two successfully entered the unit, and the moment they turned on the lights, they were stunned —
The entire unit was completely filled with money, all neatly stacked old banknotes!
Cheuk Tze-keung was nowhere to be seen.
Wang Jianjun shrugged, "That kid was lucky."
Li Fu immediately called for people: "Move it!"
The people who were woken up in the early morning were not fully awake yet, thinking what kind of goods needed to be moved so early in the morning?
Upon entering the house, their eyes instantly widened.
It was actually moving this kind of goods?!
Everyone instantly became energized. It was a pity this mission was top secret; otherwise, they could brag about it for a lifetime after returning.
Regardless of the time, everyone immediately started moving.
That was money!
If seeing money didn't give them motivation, what else would?
Li Fu first had them pack the money into twenty suitcases, each containing ten million hong kong dollar, and set them aside. Then he had them load all the remaining banknotes into two trucks.
Actually, one truck would have been enough, but only small trucks were allowed through Victoria Peak, so an extra one was requested.
With many people, things were done quickly.
So, an hour later, as dawn was just breaking, Li Fu led everyone straight to a certain pier. This had been arranged with Hon Ban in advance.
However, when they arrived, they were truly surprised to see Hon Ban, the hall master of Kwai Tsing, personally present.
Li Fu pulled out a box of cigars and quickly offered one to Hon Ban, lighting it for him: "Brother Binny, why did you bother to come in person?"
Hon Ban said earnestly, "You from Causeway Bay need people, how could we be negligent?"
"Are there really so many people?"
"Back in the Mainland... there won't be any trouble, will there?"
Li Fu said with a smile, "Brother Feng has connections in the Mainland. There are people to meet us there, so there will definitely be no problems."
Hon Ban laughed, "I knew Ah Feng had extraordinary connections. I didn't expect his network in the Mainland to be so deep."
Li Fu and Hon Ban exchanged a few jokes. With a wave of his hand, the people who had rushed over from the adjacent port, in groups of two, carefully watched the suitcases and boarded the boats in several groups.
Hon Ban saw the people and the boxes, and his pupils contracted slightly: "Did Causeway Bay rob a vault?"
"But that's not right. If it were a vault, there's no reason the boat wouldn't sink..."
Hon Ban was a smart man, and smart men always leave some leeway in their actions. Even if he had suspicions, he wouldn't voice them.
Li Fu personally saw them onto the boats and said to certain individuals, "When you see Dai Kuen Pao, tell him to call me."
This was a full 200 million hong kong dollar, so caution was necessary.
Hon Ban smiled, "Xiao Fu, don't worry. As long as there's no problem in the Mainland, there won't be any problem on my side."
Li Fu understood.
The marine police had probably already been bribed by Hon Ban.
Li Fu smiled, "Brother Binny, thank you for this time. When Brother Feng wakes up, he will definitely thank you properly."
Hon Ban smiled faintly.
Lin Feng's routine was known throughout Hung Hing. No one wanted to change his routine, and no one could withstand Lin Feng's morning temper.
Hon Ban wouldn't say more. This matter was his way of showing goodwill to Lin Feng. When Lin Feng woke up, there would naturally be appropriate thanks.
The hall master of Kwai Tsing was quite pleased.
In his opinion, if Chiang Tin-Sung stepped down, then Liang Kun would most likely become the Dragon Head.
Liang Kun had previously told them that if Chiang Tin-Sung voluntarily abdicated and no other member of the Chiang family took the position, he would contend for it.
Hon Ban readily agreed.
He had no interest in that position anyway. Prince and Sister Thirteen both agreed, and with Lin Feng added, the position of Dragon Head would definitely belong to Liang Kun.
There would be no second person.
Since that was the case, it was important to build a good relationship with Brother Liang Kun.
Actually, Hon Ban valued Lin Feng even more.
To run a Triad in such a way that even the police considered him impeccably clean, only Lin Feng had that capability; no one else.
Hon Ban truly wanted to have a good exchange of knowledge with Lin Feng.
This was why he came out personally; otherwise, he could have just let Do Chai King handle it.
Hon Ban knew that Li Fu would definitely tell Lin Feng everything about his appearance exactly as it happened. This was what a good assistant should do.
After exchanging greetings with Li Fu and Wang Jianjun, Hon Ban left contentedly.
Wang Jianjun laughed, "This Binny Hu is very clever."
Li Fu whispered, "Brother Feng said that Hon Ban is accomplished in both civil and martial arts, a rare talent in Hung Hing."
"Alright, let's hurry back."
They had come in a sedan, but they drove back in a truck. Anyway, no one could drive the sedan away from the beach.
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at Victoria Peak. They had thought Lin Feng was asleep, but unexpectedly, he had been waiting all along.
Lin Feng asked, "Did things go smoothly?"
Li Fu quickly said, "Extremely smoothly."
After explaining the situation, Lin Feng nodded slightly,
"It will be a bit tough today. We'll wait until Brother Bao calls us to confirm."
"I will send appropriate thanks to Hon Ban."
Wang Jianjun quickly opened the truck.
Lin Feng, however, threw two suitcases at them: "Load them!"
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun didn't ask why; they just started loading the money silently.
These suitcases were large, each capable of holding twenty million hong kong dollar.
Lin Feng clapped his hands lightly: "You all know my rules: merits will be rewarded, and faults will be punished."
"You have rendered meritorious service in this matter. This is your reward."
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun were surprised: "Brother Feng, we just took a stroll..."
Lin Feng waved his hand, "There are cars in the garage. Take one and go. Hurry up, I'm exhausted."
***
Chapter 164: Follow Brother Feng, and you'll never have to worry about getting rich
Back at Li Fu's villa, Wang Jianjun looked at his briefcase in disbelief:
"That's twenty million just like that?"
Li Fu shrugged:
"You'll get used to it."
Wang Jianjun gave a wry smile:
"How can I get used to this?"
Indeed, how could he get used to it?
Isn't this a joke?
He went out to work once and came back with twenty million?
Li Fu had a subtle, smug look.
Wang Jianjun and his crew were introduced by him; for his brothers to make money, and big money at that, filled him with pride.
"Is that how the boss does things?"
"You'll know once you've been around him longer."
"But..."
"To be honest with you, these things aren't actually very common."
"There's a lot of randomness involved."
Wang Jianjun nodded:
"I know."
This certainly wasn't repeatable.
Cheuk Tze-keung couldn't possibly extort all the Tycoons in Hong Kong one by one, could he?
If he really did that, those Tycoons could unite and take him down.
The Tycoon and the second richest man just didn't want to get into a life-or-death confrontation with this madman; if they really angered them, a single phone call would be enough to crush Cheuk Tze-keung.
Wang Jianjun looked down at the briefcase in his hand, his eyes incredibly complex:
"When I first started, the boss told me that as long as I worked diligently for three to five years, he would let me own a big house just like yours."
"I didn't say anything, but deep down, I didn't really believe it..."
"But now, twenty million has truly appeared in my hand."
"I have twenty million now?"
Li Fu smiled:
"Does it feel like a dream?"
Wang Jianjun looked at the brightening sky:
"Maybe I'm just daydreaming."
Li Fu lightly kicked him:
"Go to sleep quickly."
Wang Jianjun retorted:
"What about you?"
Li Fu pulled out his phone and shook it:
"I have to wait for Team Leader Shi... Brother Bao's call."
"That's two hundred million!"
Wang Jianjun thought about it, and he was right. Who could truly relax without confirming the safe arrival of two hundred million hong kong dollars?
"You go to sleep; one of us has to stay awake."
"Don't forget, we still have to pick up the goods this afternoon."
Wang Jianjun asked, speechless:
"The goods from early morning were a friendly sponsorship from Cheuk Tze-keung, so who are the goods from this afternoon?"
Li Fu shrugged:
"Why do you care so much?"
"I've been with Brother Feng for so long, and I only know that Brother Feng has never disappointed anyone."
"Everything Brother Feng says eventually comes true."
Wang Jianjun nodded repeatedly:
"Then I'm going to sleep."
Li Fu waved his hand:
"Go to sleep quickly."
Watching Wang Jianjun leave, Li Fu put the briefcase in his room.
He went to the yard, instinctively pulled out a cigar, lit it, and sat under the parasol.
He had appeared extremely calm in front of Wang Jianjun, but when he was alone, he couldn't help but fiercely clench his fist.
Excited!
Too excited!
Another twenty million.
Li Fu felt that as long as he kept following Brother Feng, he would eventually become a billionaire.
What should he do then?
Should he go back to his Mainland and build a big house in the village?
Or think even bigger and build a big house in the county?
Lost in thought, the phone rang.
Li Fu quickly answered the phone:
"Brother Bao, have the goods been received?"
Dai Kuen Pao's voice trembled:
"Received, received! All three boatloads of people have arrived, I counted them one by one."
"Absolutely no mistake!"
Li Fu was stunned:
"You personally counted that stuff..."
"You're truly amazing!"
Dai Kuen Pao said hoarsely:
"The goods Brother Feng sent are too valuable; I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't count them myself."
"Please thank Mr. Lin for me."
"His credibility is absolutely top-notch."
Li Fu quickly said:
"These are unexpected goods."
"Not part of the plan."
Dai Kuen Pao on the other end almost jumped up:
"What?"
"These aren't the main goods?"
"But I've already confirmed we've received two..."
Li Fu interrupted him:
"They are indeed not part of our plan. These goods were a friendly sponsorship from someone else."
Dai Kuen Pao didn't believe it:
"Which guy would sponsor such goods?"
Li Fu shrugged:
"Cheuk Tze-keung, of course!"
Dai Kuen Pao was stunned, then reacted with horror:
"Who did that guy extort again?"
Li Fu said softly:
"According to Brother Feng, Cheuk Tze-keung extorted the second richest man this time."
Dai Kuen Pao shook his head, speechless:
"Are the Tycoons of Hong Kong really so careless?"
Li Fu said coldly:
"They don't even listen to the Hong Kong police's advice, so why are you meddling?"
Dai Kuen Pao realized he was right; he was bothering himself with this.
"This afternoon is when the real shipment goes out, so make sure to coordinate the reception quickly."
"We'll most likely still be using Hon Ban's route."
Dai Kuen Pao whispered:
"You know the situation in our Mainland. If they can bring over some legitimate things, we'll turn a blind eye."
Li Fu understood.
"Alright then."
Dai Kuen Pao said sincerely:
"Please thank Mr. Lin again."
Li Fu shrugged:
"Wouldn't it be better to thank Brother Feng in person when you see him?"
Dai Kuen Pao thought he was right.
However, even if he did get the chance to meet Lin Feng himself (not in Hong Kong), he probably wouldn't be able to sit in front and thank him.
Lin Feng had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up, Fang Ting and Lok Wai-Jan had already prepared breakfast.
Whenever there were women around, Li Fu and Wang Jianjun would never interrupt their family mealtime.
"Huizhen, don't worry about the TV license. I just received a sum of money, so there's no problem in bidding for a license."
Lok Wai-Jan asked curiously:
"Husband, you have another income?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Yes, when money comes, you can't stop it."
Lok Wai-Jan became even more curious:
"How much?"
Lin Feng said casually:
"Several hundred million, probably between eight hundred million and one billion. The exact amount can only be calculated after the project is completed."
Lok Wai-Jan was overjoyed:
"Husband is truly amazing."
Fang Ting expressed her sincere admiration:
"Husband is indeed amazing."
Lin Feng said to Fang Ting:
"How are you doing helping Ah Min?"
Fang Ting said:
"Sister's matters are almost taken care of."
"Husband, do you have something for me? Then I can tell Sister, I'll need to hand over."
Lin Feng explained:
"In a couple of days, Tao Tao has a big project, and you need to follow up on it."
Fang Ting asked curiously:
"Tao Tao's injury isn't healed yet, is it?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"A hundred days for a bone or muscle injury. He broke his ribs, and even with Nam Tsai diligently treating him, it's still not enough."
"However, Tao Tao is bored and insisted I convert his hospital room into a workspace..."
Lok Wai-Jan asked in surprise:
"Can it be converted?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Yes!"
"What's so impossible about it?"
"Don't forget, this is a Triad Hospital; we call the shots."
"It's just a matter of adding a few computers and running some network cables."
Lok Wai-Jan was convinced:
"Does Chen Taotao really need to work so hard?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Tao Tao being so diligent is a good thing for me. Which boss wouldn't want his subordinates to work so hard?"
"However, I didn't intend for them to work this hard; health comes first."
"This is good too, it just so happens that there's a big project coming up soon, and I'm still not comfortable with the stock market."
Lok Wai-Jan was suddenly startled:
"Is this project very big?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"It's extremely, extremely huge. If handled well, achieving a leap in social status will be an easy matter."
Lok Wai-Jan and Fang Ting exchanged glances, their eyes wide.
They truly couldn't believe such a thing was possible.
However, Lin Feng said no more.
After eating, Wang Jianguo drove the two women to their respective workplaces.
Wang Jianjun came to Lin Feng's side to receive instructions.
"Jian Jun, when you have time, call Brother Bao and have him send over a few female bodyguards."
"In our line of work, you never know when an enemy might pop up, so we need to be careful."
"Your Sister-in-law needs someone by her side."
Wang Jianjun deeply agreed.
Although he had only been with Lin Feng for a short time, he had truly experienced Lin Feng's way of doing things. He appeared carefree, yet the things he encountered were truly unimaginable for ordinary people.
The Sister-in-laws definitely needed bodyguards.
"When Brother Fu wakes up, I'll ask him for Brother Bao's phone number."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Did you meet Hon Ban this morning?"
Wang Jianjun said:
"Benny personally arranged boats to send the brothers back to their Mainland."
At this moment, Wang Jianguo returned.
Lin Feng pulled out his phone and called Hon Ban:
"Benny, did I disturb your sleep?"
Hon Ban laughed:
"I'm not like you, unable to get up before noon."
"I dozed for a few hours this morning, and now I've already finished lunch."
Lin Feng laughed, "Then how about I pay you a visit?"
Hon Ban was delighted, "With such a distinguished guest, I must give you a grand welcome."
Lin Feng burst out laughing, "No need to be so exaggerated."
"I'll be there in twenty minutes."
He hung up the phone and stood up, saying,
"Jianguo, you stay here. This afternoon's matter is very important. You need to assist Xiao Fu and ensure absolutely no mistakes occur, no matter what."
Wang Jianjun nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I'll return to the villa immediately."
Lin Feng waved his hand, "Jianguo, let's go to Kwai Tsing and meet Binny Hu."
Wang Jianguo naturally drove him.
Hon Ban really did bring Do Chai King and other subordinates to greet him. Lin Feng gave him a big hug, "Brother Binny, you've gone overboard."
"Even Mr. Chiang wouldn't get this kind of reception, would he?"
Hon Ban said seriously, "If Mr. Chiang came, I'd just come out myself. You, however, are my distinguished guest."
Lin Feng laughed heartily, putting an arm around his shoulder, "If this gets back to Mr. Chiang, he won't scold me, he'll scold you."
Hon Ban didn't care, "Let him scold me. Anyway, I have no ambition for the Dragon Head position of Hung Hing."
Lin Feng gave him a thumbs up.
Everyone entered the private room.
Lin Feng habitually offered cigarettes, and a box of cigars, each costing a hundred hong kong dollar, instantly became empty.
"Oh, I'll have to go to Brother Kun's place for supplies tomorrow."
Everyone chuckled.
In the eyes of the Jianghu (jianghu) community, Lin Feng didn't seem particularly remarkable, aside from initiating two bounty rewards.
However, only the big bosses within Hung Hing knew just how brilliant Lin Feng truly was.
As Hon Ban said, Lin Feng was a true God of Wealth.
Hon Ban's reception demonstrated this point—he treated Lin Feng like a God of Wealth, holding him in high regard.
Lin Feng glanced at everyone and suddenly said, "Do Chai King, stay. Everyone else, go attend to your own matters."
Hon Ban immediately nodded, "Go do your work."
The subordinates bowed to the two and quickly left. They knew the two bosses had something important to discuss.
Lin Feng laughed, "Binny, you know me. I always return favors."
"How you treat me is how I will treat you."
"I have some news here. Do you want to hear it?"
Hon Ban said happily, "Who in Hung Hing doesn't know that Lin Feng of Causeway Bay deals in big business? Your news must be very valuable."
Lin Feng shrugged, "Whether it's valuable or not, that's not for me to judge, it's for you to judge."
"I've received reliable intelligence that the big red bear in the North is about to implement'shock therapy'."
"This is a great opportunity."
Do Chai King was initially very excited. Lin Feng asking him to stay and participate in confidential matters was a way to elevate his status in front of Hon Ban.
He never expected that a single sentence from the boss opposite him would leave him stunned.
Shock therapy, what kind of strange news was that?
Why couldn't he understand it?
Hon Ban glanced at Do Chai King and sighed, "You can go."
Do Chai King's face flushed red with shame, and he bowed his head, "Yes."
He quickly fled.
Hon Ban kept shaking his head.
Lin Feng comforted him, "This is a bit too specialized. It's normal for Do Chai King not to know."
Hon Ban, however, said, "This matter is significant, so it's better to be cautious."
"Has the big bear gone mad? To actually use such an extreme governance method? Although shock therapy is theoretically feasible, without subsequent support, it's a dead end."
"Moreover, no major country in the world has successfully used such an extreme method of governance."
"The big bear is one of the two poles. Do they dare to use this method? Even if they wanted to commit suicide, they wouldn't choose this, would they?"
Hon Ban was truly accomplished in both intellect and martial arts.
When Lin Feng mentioned the four words "shock therapy," among Hung Hing, including Chiang Tin-Sung, only one person could keep up with his pace, and that person was Hon Ban.
As an international smuggling magnate, he was naturally sensitive to such matters.
Lin Feng shrugged, "Isn't it simple?"
"From a Western perspective, a country is just an infinitely expanded company. When there are problems at the top of the big bear, any actions they take wouldn't be surprising."
"That's not the key."
Hon Ban smiled, "Exactly, that's not the key. The key is, is the big bear really going to implement shock therapy?"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
"You should know the consequences of that."
Hon Ban sneered, "It seems the big bear is about to give birth to countless billionaires and energy oligarchs."
"This is indeed excellent news."
"As a result, the big bear will inevitably suffer from industrial structural imbalance, shortages of daily necessities, soaring prices, and widespread hardship."
"...This is a great opportunity to make a fortune."
"The God of Wealth truly lives up to his name!"
Lin Feng smiled, "How's this news?"
Hon Ban laughed, "An excellent opportunity."
"Whether we can make a windfall depends on this wave."
Lin Feng smiled, "You know my style. Making a fortune isn't my pursuit; making a fortune steadily and safely is my pursuit."
"When doing things, one must follow the rules."
"That way, one can earn money with peace of mind."
Hon Ban burst out laughing.
It's quite strange to say, the leader of Hung Hing Causeway Bay actually wants to earn money with peace of mind; it sounds ridiculous no matter how you hear it.
But the problem is, Hon Ban knew that Lin Feng was telling the truth.
Even though he had already become the leader of Hung Hing Causeway Bay, his record was much cleaner than most people's.
There were absolutely no records of illegal activities or crimes.
It was cleaner than the records of most people in Hong Kong.
The reason was that Lin Feng truly lived up to his words.
Was Lin Feng a Triad member? Of course he was.
Who knows how many lives he had taken, but the impression he gave people was so clean—that's a skill.
Hon Ban greatly envied Lin Feng's abilities.
Being an international smuggling magnate sounded impressive, and it was, but the price of that impressiveness was that he had long been targeted by international police.
If needed, they could move against him at any time.
Engaging in smuggling carries huge risks.
Not to mention the accidents at sea, just being targeted by police from various countries was enough for Hon Ban to endure.
However, smuggling truly offered super exorbitant profits; even if nine out of ten ships were lost, it was still a huge profit.
But if one could earn stable money, who wouldn't want to do it?
It's a very simple matter.
Hon Ban pondered, "This is a big opportunity. If we can transport light industrial products to the big bear in the North, we'll definitely make a killing."
"However, there's a problem here..."
"We need a massive production base."
Lin Feng was astonished, "You're worried about that?"
Hon Ban wondered, "Shouldn't I be worried about that?"
Lin Feng was speechless, "We are in Hong Kong, with our Mainland right behind us."
"If you want to find a production base, just look North, wouldn't that work?"
"What can't you find in our Mainland?"
Hon Ban was surprised, "Didn't they say our Mainland is still mostly rural?"
Lin Feng was even more speechless, "Have you been brainwashed by Foreigners and turned stupid?"
"Do you have time to go back to our Mainland and see?"
"Seeing is believing. If you go back and see for yourself, wouldn't everything be clear?"
Hon Ban said in alarm, "Me, going back to my Mainland? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
Lin Feng said disdainfully, "Binny, I thought you were someone important, but it seems you really have been brainwashed and made stupid by the Foreigners."
"You believe everything the Foreigners say?"
"So what if you're the leader of Hung Hing Kwai Tsing? So what if you're an international smuggling magnate? Have you done anything that harms our Mainland?"
Hon Ban shook his head, "No, I haven't."
Lin Feng shrugged, "Then what are you worried about?"
"Let me tell you how to do it."
"After returning to our Mainland, no matter what you want to purchase, don't buy anything first. Instead, make a few hefty donations, a few million will be enough."
"Then find factories and place orders."
"As long as you can pay on time, plenty of factories will take your orders and complete them punctually."
"Our Mainland won't care where you transport those light industrial products."
"I don't need to tell you the rest of the process, do I?"
Hon Ban's eyes widened, "It's that simple?"
Lin Feng shrugged, "How difficult is it?"
Hon Ban's eyes darted around, and he suddenly said, "I heard you have investments in our Mainland. How about you introduce me?"
Lin Feng said decisively, "That's no problem, but we must follow industry rules. If I introduce you to factories, I'll take a ten percent commission."
