In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 220 Do you want to destroy the Brotherhood?

A few days later, Yang Mingyi left Hong Kong and headed for Guangdong Province with a group of middle and senior managers who decided to follow him to develop in the mainland.

At the same time, a group of engineering and technical personnel from Wan'an Group were also brought there.

After all, in this era, places like Pengcheng are basically deserted. If you want subsequent development, you must at least build factories and buildings first.

Lin Haoran had already told him the key investment areas and even drew them on a map for him.

In terms of funding, the initial start-up capital is 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, it is not spent indiscriminately. This money is enough for early-stage investment in many projects.

First, buy land in key areas such as Pengcheng, Dongguancheng, Yangcheng, and Chancheng, as large as possible, and then invest in building industrial parks.

In fact, now is not the best time to invest in the mainland. It is relatively early. It will be more suitable for investment in a few years when the policies are more perfect.

The most important reason why Lin Haoran is entering the mainland so early is to seize the initiative and occupy some better locations first. If he is late, others will get there first.

People like Bao Yugang and Guo Henian, although they also inspected the mainland market, they were not sure whether the mainland market could develop in the future, so they only made small investments in the early stages, such as building a hotel or something.

Lin Haoran is probably the only one who directly bought land to build an industrial park.

After the industrial park is completed, which will be at least two or three years later, there will naturally be development projects suitable for the mainland.

Electronic manufacturing, infrastructure manufacturing, textile industry, food processing, machinery manufacturing, etc. will all be gradually involved in the future.

The development of the mainland cannot be too fast. Yang Mingyi's visit there now is more about the early stage layout and occupying a good location first.

In this era, 100 million Hong Kong dollars is not a small sum in the mainland, and even in Hong Kong, it is not a small sum. It is enough to buy a lot of land in good locations in many cities in the mainland.

Nowadays, let alone Pengcheng, even in Yangcheng, the provincial capital, the land cannot be very expensive.

After all, the mainland's economy has not yet started to develop, and land prices cannot be hyped up.

Moreover, they were attracted here by investment from the mainland, and there are certain policy preferences in the purchase and development of land, so the cost is even lower.

After finally attracting a big investor, they will naturally try to keep him. How to keep him? Naturally, they will rely on policies and preferential policies.

There are no advantages at all, why would others come here to invest?
The Wan'an Group also officially merged with the Qingzhou Yingni Company to form the Wanqing Group.

Wanqing Group is headed by Burton as the group president and Lin Haoran as the chairman. It has two subsidiaries, Qingzhou Yingni Company and Wan'an Real Estate Development Company. The company's headquarters is Wanqing Building, which was formerly the New Wan'an Building.

This building was renamed again just over two months after it was renamed.

However, it is obvious that the influence of Wanqing Building in the future will be much greater than that of Wan'an Building.

In order to facilitate office work, Burton moved the headquarters of Qingzhou Cement Company from Hung Hom to Wanqing Building.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

Over the past month, all enterprises have developed smoothly.

Good news also came from Yang Mingyi. With the support and assistance of the Shenzhen government, they acquired many pieces of land in Luohu, Nanshan, Shekou and other places. In particular, they acquired a piece of land of one million square meters next to the Shekou Industrial Park.

This piece of land will be developed into a large industrial park. Not only that, because it is next to Pengcheng Bay, even a large wharf can be built. In the future, the products produced in this industrial park can also be transported to all parts of the world through this wharf.

With the help of the Guo family, Qingzhou Yingni Company's cement and other infrastructure products successfully captured more market share in Malaysia.

The Guo family is almost a local tyrant in Malaysia, and their real estate industry is one of the best in Malaysia. The needs of the Guo family alone have increased the turnover of Qingzhou Yingni Company a lot.

The shares of Kowloon Motor Bus, Hong Kong Land Development and Jardine Matheson were also being secretly absorbed in an orderly manner, and have not been discovered by the outside world so far. The shareholding rate of Kowloon Motor Bus has dropped by more than 20%. The opportunity to acquire this listed public utility company is at hand.

As for Global Security Consulting Company, after this period of training, these veterans have gradually regained their physical fitness, discipline, teamwork ability and tactical awareness that they had in the army.

Although the base has not been fully built yet, it has all the necessary training equipment, projects, etc.

They even built an indoor shooting range using tin houses for these people to practice shooting.

In order to improve these people's fighting skills, the chief instructor Li Weiguo often lets these members compete with each other.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

With the management of professional managers, Lin Haoran is happy and comfortable.

……

However, just as Lin Haoran was feeling relaxed and at ease, there was another disturbance in the Philippines.

May 5th is the beginning of summer.

Late at night, hundreds of people gathered in a suburban compound in southern Manila, most of them young tattooed men in their twenties and thirties, with a few in their forties and fifties.

Many of these people had minor injuries on their bodies, and some had white cloth wrapped around their hands or legs.

They are the members of the Brotherhood.

Just two hours ago, they had just experienced a fierce battle against their main rivals in Manila, the May Fourth Gang.

This conflict was initiated by the May Fourth Gang, which intended to seize territory on a street controlled by the Brotherhood, but ultimately succeeded.

"Have the losses been counted?" asked the leader of the brotherhood, seemingly calmly.

However, his heart had already been boiling like magma, burning with rage.

"Brother Yong, the casualty statistics are out. We lost 19 brothers this time, and the number of injured is as high as 112. The loss is extremely heavy. What's worse is that by losing the territory of West Street, we will lose at least tens of millions of dollars in revenue every year!" The subordinate reported heavily.

The Brotherhood needed to support thousands of people, and losing this territory was undoubtedly a heavy blow to them. However, facing the powerful May Fourth Gang, they were helpless.

Under the constant suppression of the May Fourth Gang, their territory gradually shrank.

"These bastards, I will make them pay the price sooner or later!" said the dragon head gritting his teeth.

"Brother Yong, the public account funds of the association are already stretched to the limit. The brothers who died or were injured need pensions. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among the brothers." The financial director on the side reminded.

"Then what should we do? Does anyone have any good ideas? We can't let our brothers suffer. When we are in this gang, the most important thing is unity!" The leader looked around at the top leaders of the society.

Although these senior executives are personally wealthy, they are obviously not willing to use their own money to fill this hole.

"I have a suggestion," a senior executive said, "Do you remember the Cement Company of Qingzhou? We were entrusted by Aemex to warn them not to enter the Visayas market.

As far as I know, that cement factory was quite sensible and never tried to get involved in that market again. What does this mean? It means that they don’t have a strong backer!
Aren't these companies exactly what we can do at will? We can threaten them and make them pay protection fees, or we can secretly create trouble for them until they surrender. In this way, won't the pension issue be easily solved? "

"That's a good idea, let's do it!"

"Yes, let them pay one or two hundred thousand dollars. I don't think they would dare to refuse, unless they want to give up the Philippine market!"

"I heard that this cement factory is one of the best-selling cement factories in Luzon and is making a lot of money. How could it easily give up our Philippine market?"

"We told them that as long as they paid the protection fee, they would be safe in the future. As for the future, when we are short of money, we can go to them to 'borrow' some money. Foreign-funded enterprises without any backing are our cash machines!"

The senior executive's proposal immediately received a warm response from everyone, and everyone nodded in agreement.

For them, as long as they don't have to pay for it themselves, it's a good idea.

"Well, let's decide it this way, Bald Biao. Tomorrow morning, you will take a hundred people with you to teach them a lesson. Warn them that they must collect one million dollars and hand it over to us within a week. Otherwise, they will bear the consequences.

But don't let anyone get killed this time, after all, they are our sponsors!" The leader looked at a bald man in his thirties and gave an order.

"I understand, boss!" the bald man agreed readily.

In their view, Qingzhou Yingni Company was like fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at will, and they had no worries about the other party's non-cooperation.

If they don't obey, they have plenty of ways to make them surrender.

They are already very familiar with such activities.

They may be wary of large companies with powerful backing, but they will show no mercy to companies like Qingzhou Yingni that have no local roots.

The next morning, in front of the Qingzhou Cement Company's cement plant in Manila, Bald Biao led hundreds of community members and surrounded the factory gate in a mighty manner.

"Call your person in charge!" the bald man shouted at the trembling security guards at the door.

Soon, the head of the Philippines branch of Qingzhou Yingni Company hurried to the factory gate.

"Listen to me," the bald man warned fiercely, "I give you one week to raise one million US dollars for protection fees. From now on, your safety will be the responsibility of our society. If you dare not listen, you will bear the consequences.

Remember, there is only one week. If we don't see the one million dollars in a week, it won't be a matter of one or two people dying. I guarantee that your company will have no place in the Philippines!"

After saying that, the bald man led a group of people into the factory area in a proud manner, showed off everywhere, and then left triumphantly.

After these people left, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief and quickly contacted the Hong Kong headquarters to report the emergency to the group president Burton.

"Brotherhood?" Even Burton was surprised to learn about this.

He didn't expect that although Qingzhou Cement Company had been developing in Luzon and had not continued to enter the Visayas market, they still did not let Qingzhou Cement go, and this time they were blackmailing him openly.

One million US dollars is not a small amount of money. It is almost equivalent to the profit of Qingzhou Yingni Company for more than half a month.

Although he has some government connections in the Philippines, the government's power is often overwhelmed when faced with such large communities.

Therefore, Burton decided to report the matter to his boss first.

So, within less than an hour after the incident, Lin Haoran received this headache-inducing news.

When he learned about this, Lin Haoran was chatting with Chen Shoulin about the Hong Kong Electric Group's entry into overseas markets.

"Hmph, I wanted to give you some breathing space, but you dared to come here and seek death." After hanging up the phone, Lin Haoran frowned and muttered to himself.

Even a clay Buddha has a temper, let alone humans.

Then, Lin Haoran called Guo Henian in the office.

"Nephew Lin, why did you suddenly remember to call me?" Guo Henian was quite surprised when he received a call from Lin Haoran. After all, this was the first time that Lin Haoran took the initiative to contact him by phone.

"Uncle Guo, I remember you mentioned that you knew the leader of the May Fourth Gang in the Philippines, is that right? Can you tell me his contact information?" Lin Haoran stated his request straight to the point.

"The contact information of the leader of the May Fourth Gang? No problem, just wait a moment, I'll find it for you!" Guo Henian agreed readily.

A few minutes later, Lin Haoran successfully got the contact number of the leader of the May Fourth Gang.

He dialed without hesitation.

After a brief self-introduction, he learned that Lin Haoran was Guo Henian's friend, so the leader of the May Fourth Gang naturally did not dare to neglect him.

"Mr. Lin, what can I do for you?" the other party asked politely.

"Mr. Xiao, do you want to destroy the Brotherhood?" Lin Haoran asked his question directly.
