Chapter 469: Future Anglo-Saxon Media Mogul
"The Golden Club was established based on job-related crimes, George. You mustn't underestimate their determination to get rich."
Lin Feng kindly reminded him, "The profits from the Sham Shui Po project are immense, so much so that even a powerful figure like the Governor would be envious."
George still didn't have a clear understanding of such public welfare projects.
"Sir, how big are the profits exactly?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Let me put it this way: once the project is completed, the annual dividend from managing the port alone will be billions..."
"This money will be available every year within the contracted period."
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a mountain of gold and silver."
George was astonished.
"Billions?"
"Is there really that much?"
Lin Feng casually replied, "Of course. Isn't billions of US dollars quite normal?"
What?!
George almost turned to stone.
"Billions of US dollars?"
"It's actually that much?"
Billions of US dollars annually—not to mention the Golden Club or the Governor—even Duke Cunningham would be green with envy.
It's true that the wealthy know how to make money.
Anyone with that kind of money every year would surely establish a powerful family.
"What's so strange about it?"
"Excellent seaports are limited worldwide."
"Haven't there been many wars fought over seaports?"
"Now is a relatively peaceful era, and excellent ports are even scarcer. It's perfectly normal for them to be profitable."
"It would be strange if they weren't profitable."
George said with a wry smile, "Sir, if you hadn't told me, I would never have known how incredibly profitable this was."
Lin Feng's voice was very gentle.
"It's nothing; it's just a matter of different industries being like different mountains."
George thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then the Golden Club cannot be allowed to remain."
"I'll arrange for people to take them all out at once."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "George, you're so aggressive!"
"Now you want people to disappear at the drop of a hat?"
George explained, "Sir, the Sham Shui Po dock project involves too much capital and profit."
"The Golden Club will certainly not compromise."
"We shouldn't waste time."
"Instead of letting them cause us trouble later, it's better to solve the problem at its root now."
Lin Feng had to admit that when George was his opponent, he was a very troublesome one, but when he was on his side, he was truly a useful ally.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Are you free to come to Lin Manor now?"
George's face was filled with reverence.
"I am always available to see you."
Lin Feng then instructed, "Then come over now."
George was very excited.
"Yes, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng instructed, "George will arrive soon; prepare some good tea."
Li Fu was utterly impressed by Lin Feng's methods.
"Brother Feng, you are truly amazing."
"George is a high-ranking agent of the Anglo-Saxon Telecommunications Department."
Lin Feng shrugged.
"So what?"
"George merely found his belief."
Li Fu was startled.
"Working for the Telecommunications Department isn't as easy as it seems."
"The work he tried so hard to do was criticized and ignored by his superiors, coupled with the widespread darkness in Anglo-Saxon—the most practical example being Cunningham, as the rising star of the Anglo-Saxon Navy, having to personally smuggle arms..."
"George's defection to me is less about joining me and more about his boredom for the corrupt officialdom of Anglo-Saxon."
Li Fu whispered, "Brother Feng, can George be trusted?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "He will complete whatever I instruct him to do without hesitation."
"However, don't expect him to do anything out of line."
Li Fu said with a wry smile, "His joining your ranks as a Foreigner is already out of line."
Lin Feng burst into laughter.
Li Fu checked the time and personally went to wait outside Lin Manor.
George arrived very quickly; he was there three minutes later.
"Mr. Li, I can't believe you came to greet me personally."
George felt quite flattered.
Who in Hong Kong didn't know Li Fu's status in Lin Manor?
He was Lin Feng's most trusted confidant.
The fact that this most trusted confidant personally welcomed him showed how much Lin Feng valued him.
Li Fu said gently, "We are all working for Brother Feng, and your status is special, so it's normal for me to come out."
George nodded repeatedly.
In his opinion, Li Fu coming out to greet him was a signal from Lin Feng, treating him as a trusted subordinate!
George felt a warmth in his heart.
When he entered Lin Feng's study, he was surprised to find Lin Feng making tea.
"George, you're here. Have a seat."
"Xiao Fu, you sit too."
Lin Feng acted very casually. The more casual he was, the more comfortable George felt—Mr. Lin truly regarded him as one of his own.
"When you work for me, rewards and punishments are clear."
"You are like Xiao Fu and the others; if you do well, there are rewards, and if you don't, you will be punished."
"However, your status is special, so I can't give you other rewards easily."
George quickly said, "Mr. Lin, you are too kind. Because of you, I have blackmailed a lot of money from Duke Cunningham."
Just by trading intelligence, he had already accumulated several million pounds.
This was something he couldn't even have imagined before.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"No, no, no, what's that?
"Making money by using the information I gave you is your ability, not my reward."
"If you do well, I must give you a tangible reward."
George immediately straightened his posture.
"Yes!"
Lin Feng steadily brewed a cup of Gongfu tea.
"Let's not talk about that for now; try my tea."
George tasted it, imitating Li Fu's manner.
He was as prim and proper as a primary school student.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "No need to be so nervous."
George feigned composure.
"Sir, I'm not nervous."
Lin Feng pointed at him with a finger, shaking his head.
"In Hong Kong, because of your identity, it's easy for me to give you rewards and attract criticism."
"Since I can't reward you in Hong Kong, why don't we do it directly?"
George quickly said, "Sir, it is my honor to work for you."
"There's no need to mention rewards, is there?"
Li Fu listened with a faint smile, secretly exclaiming, 'Good gracious!'
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Brother Feng was training George like a dog!
The tone was perfectly controlled.
Lin Feng was very calm.
"Here, rules are rules."
"If you do well, I will definitely reward you."
"Not only do I do this, but you should also do it when you lead people in the future."
"Combining both kindness and strictness is the normal way to manage people."
George nodded repeatedly.
"Yes!"
"George will strictly follow your teachings."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said to him, "It's inconvenient for me to reward you in Hong Kong."
"However, I can directly reward you in London."
Ah?!
George wondered, "Sir, London is very strict about personal asset management."
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
"That's not a problem."
"I own a fund called Baisheng Fund."
"Have you heard of it?"
George nodded repeatedly.
"Who in Hong Kong doesn't know about this fund now?"
"It played a crucial role in Hung Hing's acquisition of Tycoon Group."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "It's good that you know."
"I will have Tao Tao establish a media group in the Cayman Islands."
"Later, it will acquire several TV stations and newspapers in London."
"You will be the boss of the media group from now on."
George was greatly surprised.
"What?"
George knew that Lin Feng was always generous; he understood this from Lin Feng casually allowing him to trade information.
As long as they were his people, Lin Feng didn't mind others eating and drinking more with him.
However, he still hadn't expected Lin Feng's generosity to be so immense.
Directly rewarding him with a media group!!
How terrifying was that!
If this came true, George could be said to have instantly become a member of London's upper class.
Lin Feng said casually, "It's just a media group; it's nothing, really."
"As long as you serve me well, you can have as many of these things as you want in the future."
George's face was filled with reverence.
"Your wish is my mission!"
Lin Feng burst into laughter.
"I like that line of yours."
"I hope you're not joking!"
George said seriously, "I swear on my mother's honor."
Lin Feng said speechlessly, "Don't swear at every turn; true warriors don't keep such things on their lips."
George was at a loss for words for a moment.
Lin Feng pretended not to notice his embarrassed expression.
"Since I've become your boss, I must give you a tangible guarantee."
"What my big brother, Brother Kun, often says, I will tell you today as well."
"When you're out there, making money comes first."
"Talking about loyalty on an empty stomach is a very noble act, but we are all common people and cannot reach that level."
"It's better to be practical."
"Since there's a chance for the brothers to eat their fill, it's better to talk about loyalty after they've eaten their fill."
"I will have Tao Tao acquire several TV stations and newspapers in London."
"You just need to leverage your connections to do one thing."
George said earnestly, "Mr. Lin, your wish is my mission. No matter what, I will make it happen."
Lin Feng said, speechless, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about?"
"I'm not interested in the secrets of the London government."
"If I really wanted to know the government's secrets, I might as well send people to watch the tram stations in London!"
George's face instantly turned red.
Li Fu asked, puzzled, "Brother Feng, what does watching the tram station mean?"
Lin Feng sighed, "The tram stations in London are magical places; they often refresh London's top-secret intelligence."
"Ah?!"
Li Fu could hardly believe it.
"You must be joking. Top-secret intelligence can really end up at a London tram station?"
George said with a wry smile, "Mr. Li, the sir is just teasing."
"London's intelligence system is severely compromised; it's like a sieve."
"Some things are very easily leaked."
"When internal investigations are conducted, it's often found that the methods of leakage are not very sophisticated; they are often due to the carelessness of internal staff."
"Leaving top-secret documents at a tram station is one of the common ways information is leaked."
Li Fu's eyes widened, "Is that possible?"
"Isn't that just a cover-up tactic?"
George said with a wry smile, "That's the actual situation."
Li Fu fell silent.
He felt very shocked, with countless complaints to vent, but he kept them bottled up, unable to speak, feeling extremely uncomfortable!
Lin Feng waved his hand, "What does the London government being full of loopholes have to do with us?"
"George, after Tao Tao acquires the TV stations and newspapers, the thing you need to do is very simple..."
"Try every possible way to obtain the exclusive broadcasting rights for the English First Division."
George was startled, "Football?!"
Lin Feng nodded slightly, "That's right, it's football."
"In Anglo-Saxon countries, no matter what TV station or newspaper it is, if there's no football news, no one will watch or read it."
"So, this is the top priority."
"If you can firmly control the exclusive broadcasting rights for football matches, I can promise you that within ten years, you will become the largest media mogul in Anglo-Saxon countries."
George immediately became excited, "Thank you, sir."
"I will definitely work hard."
Lin Feng corrected him, "Not just work hard, but give it your all!"
George nodded emphatically, "Yes!"
The foundation of Western society is the wealthy!
George's upbringing also made him yearn to become wealthy.
Or rather, in this society, who doesn't want to have more money?
Now, Lin Feng had given him such a path to becoming wealthy. If he didn't firmly grasp it, all those years of education would be wasted!
George was incredibly excited. After thinking for a moment, he said again, "Sir, please guide me."
Lin Feng was taken aback, "Guide you?"
George said, embarrassed, "I haven't done business before, and there are many things I don't understand."
"Sir, you should still cooperate with me. I'm willing to take a small share."
Lin Feng waved his hand, "This media group was originally a reward for you."
"Are you sure you want to give me shares?"
George said frankly, "But if it weren't for your reward, I wouldn't even see the shadow of a media group."
"I don't think I have the ability to become a media mogul."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll take 20% of the media group's shares, but these 20% will be non-dilutable original shares."
George was overjoyed, "That's natural."
Lin Feng continued, "Your public office needs to continue to advance, and it's good that the West doesn't restrict the big bosses of companies from holding public office."
"Even so, you'll have to entrust the group to trustworthy people."
"Your lover can be arranged for a position."
George said, astonished, "Isa?"
Lin Feng said irritably, "Don't you even know who your own lover is?"
George said sheepishly, "Sir truly knows everything!"
Elizabeth was his lover, even Duke Cunningham didn't know, but the sir had known for a long time. Indeed, he had followed the right person.
"Isa can resign directly from the telecommunications department and focus on managing her assets."
"It's normal for wealthy people to have multiple lovers. I won't demand that you adhere to Hong Kong's morals."
"Moreover, I've always had many women."
Lin Feng spoke very candidly, which made George feel extremely good.
That's right, the sir simply had many women.
Of course, in the Western world, it's also common for wealthy men to be stud-like and have children everywhere.
Moreover, George had already made it clear that he would enter into a marriage alliance with a woman from the Cunningham Family.
Such marriage alliances are purely transactions.
Wanting love is impossible.
Everyone present understood this very well.
The Mong Kok faction has always been lustful. Almost everyone is.
Lin Feng naturally wouldn't question George's character because of his personal affairs; he himself wasn't a saint and always judged people, not matters.
George was completely convinced, "You are wise, sir."
Lin Feng said calmly, "For each of you, I have detailed plans."
"Your strength lies in intelligence, so you should maximize that aspect."
"The position I've designed for you is media mogul."
"You should know how much weight that carries."
George's face was full of fervent excitement, "Of course, if I become a media mogul, I will definitely become an influential figure in London."
Li Fu asked, puzzled, "Are media moguls that powerful?"
George explained, "In Hong Kong, it's just average, but in the Western world, it's absolutely an influential position."
"Media moguls control information exposure."
"Those who want to enter politics or become famous will try every possible way to invest money in media platforms."
"Thereby gaining traffic exposure."
"Western elections are essentially money elections."
"The more money one has, the more exposure one gets, and the greater the chance of being elected."
Li Fu was quite shocked, "Doesn't that mean that media moguls can influence who becomes the head of the government?"
George pursed his lips, "Everyone says Western elections are democratic, but in reality, they're just a money game."
"Mr. Li, you've got one thing right. To some extent, Western elections are truly controlled by the media."
"Some hidden things cannot be made public."
"For example, if someone proposes to increase welfare for voters, grant more holidays, and levy large taxes on the wealthy—will such proposals that benefit the lower class receive attention?"
Li Fu asked strangely, "Shouldn't they?"
George shook his head and sighed, "In reality, this candidate will not receive any exposure."
"Ah?!"
Li Fu was very confused, "Why?"
George said naturally, "They have no possibility of gaining traffic from the media."
"That's right, their proposals are indeed very good."
"For the grassroots, it's also a great benefit."
"However, the foundation of Western society is the wealthy."
"You can casually harm the interests of the lower class, but you cannot harm the interests of the wealthy."
"So, such proposals are naturally to be rejected!"
"If such proposals were actually implemented, would the West still be the West?"
"Wouldn't it be just like the East?"
"Media moguls actually go through a primary selection. Candidates who want to increase welfare for the grassroots will naturally be eliminated in the first instance."
Li Fu sighed, "That truly is a vivid educational lesson."
Lin Feng waved his hand, "It's just that one's position determines one's perspective; there's nothing strange about it."
"George, I will have Tao Tao handle this matter."
"I called you over because I wanted to tell you that the Golden Club matter needs to be handled cautiously."
"I am from Hong Kong and don't want Hong Kong to be in turmoil..."
George reminded him, "Sir, the Anglo-Saxon strategy is to vigorously support Hong Kong Triads in recent years. The more chaotic, the better."

Chapter 470: The Inevitable Trend
Hearing this, Li Fu immediately snorted coldly.
George cautiously glanced at Lin Feng and said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Li, please don't be angry."
"Regardless, it's a fact that Xiangjiang has been colonized by Foreigners for nearly a century."
"In the Foreigners' hearts, Xiangjiang has long been theirs."
"Xiangjiang's return is due to the support of the Mainland. If it were any other country, do you believe the Foreigners would absolutely refuse to return Xiangjiang?"
Li Fu's expression softened.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "George, there's no need to flatter us."
"We are all strong-willed warriors, capable of accepting reality."
Li Fu was startled. "Brother Feng, is there another reason for the Foreigners returning Xiangjiang?"
Lin Feng shrugged. "Of course, the Foreigners wanted to keep Xiangjiang."
"However, it's not something they can keep just because they want to."
"On one hand, the Mainland's military strength is too powerful."
"George, don't give me that strange look."
"The Mainland's military level is solidly among the top three on this planet."
"Although she doesn't have the power to influence the entire globe, and of course, the Mainland's style is not to export revolution or military force…"
"But anyone who wants to fight her in the vicinity of the Mainland will only face defeat."
"You should be clearest about how the Mainland earned its name as one of the Five Great Benevolent Ones—she fought all of the Five Great Benevolent Ones and only then firmly secured her position on the UN Security Council."
George nodded in agreement.
There was no doubt about this.
You can question the Mainland's economic strength, you can question the Mainland's weak air force, and you can even question the Mainland's almost nonexistent navy.
But you absolutely cannot question the Mainland's strong military power!
Honestly, the Mainland's army strength is number one in the world!
The Red Bear, one of the two poles, is terrifying, right?
Its steel torrents swept across the world.
However, on the Red Bear's eastern border, this guy actually deployed a million six-wheeled vehicles, precisely to guard against the Mainland!
If those six-wheeled vehicles were placed on the Red Bear's western border, World War III would probably break out immediately!
Yet, the Mainland steadily absorbed it, effectively preventing the Red Bear from moving an inch.
After its establishment, the Mainland has never lost a single foreign war!
It can be said that the Mainland's prestige was hard-won through battle.
"Xiangjiang is inherently part of the Mainland's land, and it's so close. For the Anglo-Saxon to try and forcibly reclaim it is a pipe dream."
"For a tiny Falklands, London fought for nearly two months and almost bankrupted the Thatcher government."
"If it were the Mainland… London would probably have to change six or seven governments!"
George shrugged; this was a fact.
Lin Feng changed the subject. "However, London couldn't keep its colonies, not because it didn't want to, but because everyone else didn't want it to."
Li Fu was startled. "What does that mean?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Xiao Fu, do you know about the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period?"
Li Fu quickly said, "I've read about the era before the Seven Warring States."
Originally, he didn't know this history. Li Fu joined the army at a very young age, so he wasn't very old when he retired.
At that time, where would he have the time to study so much cultural knowledge?
Just the knowledge within the army was enough to give him a headache.
It was only after following Lin Feng that Li Fu, under the latter's command, picked up books again.
Lin Feng's requirements for Li Fu were simple: one was to read various Xiangjiang newspapers, and the other was to read history.
Lin Feng never asked Li Fu to study so-called management. That stuff, frankly, is just about knowing how to pick the right person for the job.
There really isn't any particularly profound knowledge. Anyone who specifically enrolls in an MBA for that kind of thing would make Lin Feng laugh himself to death.
And what Lin Feng recommended to Li Fu was "The Spring and Autumn Annals."
Basically, all the arts of struggle are in there.
George silently noted down their conversation, deciding to read the Mainland's history books thoroughly later.
"The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period appeared one after another."
"This world is a Spring and Autumn battlefield expanded tenfold."
"The Anglo-Saxon was the previous hegemon, but it declined after World War II."
"After World War II was the era of the two poles."
"Even so, London, with its vast colonies, had decent economic strength."
"The two poles would not allow London to retain so many colonies."
"They clearly knew that if these colonies remained in London's hands, over time, London would eventually recover its strength."
"So, the two poles simultaneously made a decision—to promote the independence of London's colonies."
"Firstly, to dismantle London's potential, and secondly, to gain prestige for themselves."
"London didn't want to keep its colonies, but the two poles wouldn't allow it."
"And because of this, London retreated from its position as a first-tier hegemon and became a second-tier one."
Lin Feng mocked, "Although Xiangjiang was one of London's sources of wealth, compared to India, Xiangjiang was nothing."
"They couldn't even keep India, so Xiangjiang was out of the question."
Li Fu suddenly understood.
George thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, are we about to enter a unipolar era?"
Lin Feng whispered, "Yes, this world will experience twenty years of a unipolar world."
Huh?
George and Li Fu exchanged bewildered glances.
The former was utterly confused. "Only twenty years of a unipolar world?"
Li Fu wondered, "How is that possible?"
Lin Feng shrugged. "Now, America claims to be the beacon of human civilization. The two debates between the two poles have led most people in the world to believe that America's welfare benefits are the best."
"It's just that they haven't realized that America can provide such good treatment to its citizens purely as a result of competition with the Red Bear."
"High welfare and high benefits… were absolutely not allowed in the Western world initially."
"Do you know what they say at the elite level?"
Both shook their heads simultaneously.
Lin Feng sighed. "You two are my right and left hands; you must raise your standards."
"Our positions are different now, and our horizons should broaden accordingly."
"You need to open up your perspective, otherwise, you won't be able to advance further."
Both repeatedly affirmed.
Lin Feng then said, "The Western world is a world for the rich. For the rich, they wish they could buy all of a worker's time with money."
"They absolutely cannot be allowed even a tiny bit of rest time."
"High welfare, high benefits—that's pure heresy."
"Using every minute to its fullest is what makes a qualified capitalist."
"Every qualified capitalist wants to implement a 996 work system."
"They wish their employees were all 996 workhorses!"
Li Fu swallowed, "Brother Feng, what is 996?"
Lin Feng casually said, "Working from nine AM to nine PM, six days a week, with one day off."
Li Fu gasped.
George opened his mouth and said, "But… the Western world isn't doing that now, especially America. The benefits are very high, and there's a lot of vacation time."
Lin Feng said without hesitation, "That's a result of competing with the Red Bear."
"With a behemoth competing next door, America's capitalists naturally have to give their workers good treatment."
"Otherwise, the beacon of this world would look different."
"Do you believe that as soon as the Red Bear falls, the true colors of America's capitalists will be exposed?"
"At that time, you will feel their fundamental exploitation of workers."
"America has a very solid foundation, so they can live off past gains and comfortably get through the first ten years."
"Interesting things will happen…"
"After these ten years, America's capitalists will feel that their strategy was indeed correct, that exploiting workers in this way caused no problems and even made the country thrive."
"So, they will intensify their exploitation of the common people and you."
"If the workers at the bottom die, they die; they are all consumables."
"America is already the largest immigrant country, so if some die, there will naturally be a continuous stream of immigrants from all over the world to replenish and fill the gap."
"They simply don't care about the lives of others."
"However…"
"The seeds of disaster will be sown there."
"Twenty years from now, America will lose its absolute control over the world."
Lin Feng said ominously, "The family of nations is a large arena for supremacy; you either advance or fall behind."
"The capitalists of America, in their revelry, are actually accelerating America's decline."
"Don't you think it's ironic?"
Li Fu looked at George with a serious expression. "George, don't tell anyone about what Brother Feng said today."
George was already stunned.
"Mr. Li, rest assured, I will definitely keep Mr.'s words in mind and not tell anyone else."
What is vertical and horizontal maneuvering?
What is seeing the subtle to know the obvious?
What is a glance that spans a thousand years?
What is looking a hundred steps ahead with every step taken?
Mr. was actually able to predict twenty years into the future!
What kind of breadth of vision is that?
Lin Feng, however, was nonchalant:
"Xiao Fu, you need to relax."
"It's not a big deal if George tells others."
Li Fu smiled bitterly:
"Brother Feng, such strategic intelligence naturally needs to be kept secret."
Lin Feng was truly nonchalant:
"Don't worry, even if George says it in public, people will just think he's crazy."
"Ah?!"
Li Fu was shocked:
"No way?"
"Such golden advice would be considered crazy?"
Lin Feng said seriously:
"Yes!"
"Half a step ahead is genius, a full step ahead is madness!"
"The Red Bear hasn't even collapsed yet; if you say this, people will only think you're a attention-seeking scoundrel."
Li Fu was persistent:
"What about after the Red Bear collapses?"
Lin Feng laughed:
"He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened."
"In this world, those with self-awareness are ultimately a minority."
"Most people are fools!"
"After the Red Bear collapses, do you think they will believe it was the Red Bear that messed up on its own?"
"Absolutely not!"
"They will believe that the Red Bear's system was flawed, and the Western system is superior."
"At that time, if you tell them this, they will think you are attention-seeking, and not a clear-headed sage."
After a pause, Lin Feng said leisurely,
"My ability to make this judgment fundamentally comes from knowing what kind of people capitalists are."
"They will happily sell their souls to the devil for profit."
"When there is a powerful opponent suppressing them, those capitalists will actively restrain their desire to go mad."
"But once the enemy disappears, how noble do you think they can be?"
"This is the general trend of the world."
"It will absolutely not change according to human will!"
Li Fu and George were both convinced.
Lin Feng waved his hand and said:
"This matter is still far from us; we just need to know the general historical trend."
"Standing on the cusp, even pigs can fly."
"And how to utilize the world's general trend, you should all have ideas by now."
Both nodded vigorously.
With such news, not knowing how to use it would be foolish.
Lin Feng clapped his hands,
"Xiao Fu, tomorrow, please make a trip to see Tao Tao."
"Have him acquire some London media."
George quickly said:
"Sir, should we wait a bit?"
"Mr. Chen is still recuperating in the villa, isn't he?"
Chen Taotao had three ribs broken by Ding Yixie back then, and he had to lie down for nearly half a year.
The financial operations for Tycoon Group were all completed at the Triad Hospital.
Later, when the project succeeded, to help Chen Taotao recover better, Lin Feng followed Chiang Tin-Sung's example and installed a set of medical equipment in Chen Taotao's villa, which made Chen Taotao even happier.
Even so, it would still take two months for Chen Taotao to fully recover.
George, having studied Lin Feng's main subordinates, naturally knew Chen Taotao's condition.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:
"George, you don't understand Chen Taotao; he's someone who can't sit still."
"The more he has to do, the better his mood."
Chen Taotao is a humorous person who loves excitement the most.
If he were left alone, he would feel lonely.
Only when he is with others is he happy.
Li Fu laughed:
"I often visit Tao Tao; that guy is very humorous."
"However, our professions are too different, so sometimes we can't connect in conversation."
"Da Shan and Zhan Bo go often."
Lin Feng nodded slightly.
George was overjoyed:
"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Li."
Li Fu waved his hand, indicating it was no trouble.
Lin Feng then said:
"I heard you established B3."
George nodded:
"That's right, it was to deal with Professor's group at the time."
"After I took office at the Security Bureau, I originally wanted B3 to continue working in the Police Force, but they had a difficult time without my backing."
"So I seconded them to work at the Security Bureau."
"I also need some trusted subordinates."
Lin Feng said:
"Just have them handle the Golden Club matters."
"You can also use a Triad to help deal with it."
George thought for a moment and said,
"How about Wo Hing Shing?"
Lin Feng nodded:
"That works."
George smiled broadly:
"Sir, rest assured, I will resolve the Golden Club matter as quickly as possible."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"As long as they don't hinder me, what's wrong with letting them live?"
"At my level, as long as someone can help me, I don't mind giving them a little something."
"The thing I hate most is trouble."
"Time is precious to me."
George understood:
"Sir, I understand."
Lin Feng was satisfied:
"George, do well."
"The future world has a place for you."
George was excited:
"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I know what to do."
Lin Feng gestured to Li Fu:
"George's identity is special; you two should exchange numbers. If George needs anything, help him as much as possible."
George was even more excited,
"Sir, I will absolutely do my utmost."
He knew that he had truly gained Lin Feng's approval and entered his inner circle of power.
Li Fu returned after seeing George off:
"Brother Feng, George is a Foreigner after all; is he really reliable?"
This wasn't the first time he had asked.
Lin Feng smiled:
"George is one of us."
Li Fu immediately made a mental note; since Lin Feng said so, then he was one of them.
"Brother Feng, should I report the judgment you made today to Brother Bao?"
Lin Feng shook his head faintly:
"No need!"
"The great strategists in Mainland will have their own judgments."
Li Fu smiled bitterly:
"Brother Feng, I don't have that confidence."
Lin Feng laughed:
"This world is the age of information."
"You're a senior member of our Hung Hing after all; have you realized just how much information converges every day?"
Li Fu was startled.
Lin Feng said naturally:
"Take Thunder Security, for example; the information gathered from each mission is a wealth beyond anyone's imagination."
"If you were observant, you could even grasp the operational status of these Tycoons."
Li Fu nodded repeatedly.
Thunder Security was simply too popular in Hong Kong.
Although due to their background, security personnel from Thunder would not become the true personal bodyguards of certain Tycoons—becoming a personal bodyguard means being a true confidant of the Tycoon, privy to all known and unknown, overt and covert information.
Clearly, security personnel from Thunder rarely became personal bodyguards for certain individuals.
However, even so, the accumulated information could deduce many things.
It's just that Thunder Security has its own professional ethics and would not pry into the privacy of Tycoons.
Of course, if certain individuals intended to harm Lin Feng and his people, that would be another matter.
Thunder Security personnel would not care about professional ethics and would certainly let them know what a thunderous strike was.
"The elders in Mainland possess tens of millions more information than you."
"The reason there is fog in this world is purely because the information you possess is incomplete."
"If all information could be gathered, all developments would become clear."
"You wouldn't think that the elders at Begonia Courtyard have less complete information than you, would you?"
Li Fu suddenly understood; he finally realized that he had been worrying needlessly.
To put it plainly, how could the information controlled by Begonia Courtyard compare to his?
Wouldn't the information they received be superior to his?
Li Fu felt quite ashamed:
"Brother Feng, I was wrong."
Lin Feng didn't mock him; instead, he teased him,
"Qi Qi is a top student, you know."
"You need to read more!"
Li Fu nodded heavily:
"I will definitely follow that advice."
Lin Feng suddenly remembered something,
"George needs to use Wo Hing Shing people to do things, and it's also time for Wo Hing Shing's new leader election."
"Prince Hon Bun's top enforcer, Phoenix Boy, is an undercover officer in the Police Force; have George use B3 to activate him."
