"What do you mean?" Master Su moved closer.

"Ask He Qun to help me contact several media outlets in Southeast Asia." Su Hanze's eyes were calm. "A boxing match is not only a contest in the stadium, but also a game of public opinion. We need to let Xi Mihua know that he has no chance of winning except with fists."

That night, Su Hanze arranged to meet He Qun at the open-air bar on the rooftop of the venue. The night breeze was cool, and the Haojiang River looked particularly bright under the neon lights.

"Aze, what's the big deal that you're looking for me so urgently?" After sitting down, He Qun picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Sister Qun, I have to trouble you again this time." Su Hanze handed her a prepared document, "I need you to help me get in touch with media resources in Southeast Asia, especially Thailand and Malaysia."

"That's not difficult." He Qun flipped through the information and nodded, "But how do you plan to use these media? Do you want to directly promote the boxing match, or do you have other plans?"

"Promoting the boxing match is just superficial." Su Hanze smiled slightly, "The real goal is to reduce Xi Mihua's space. No matter how strong he is, he still needs the support of the audience. If his influence in Southeast Asia is suppressed, even if we invite more boxers, it will be a waste of effort."

"Smart plan." He Qun nodded in praise, "However, this requires a lot of money and manpower. Are you ready?"

"I have already arranged this." Su Hanze raised his glass, "Sister Qun, this deal has been made. The Southeast Asian market will be divided equally between our two families."

"Then I'll play a big game with you." He Qun smiled lightly and clinked his glass with his.

In the following days, media in Macao and Southeast Asia began to frequently report on Su Hanze's boxing match. From the construction of the venue to the preparations for the event, from local players to international cooperation, every detail was magnified and reported, and the popularity soared.

Meanwhile, Xi Mihua's news has become unusually quiet. His venue has not been decided yet, and the boxer signed from Thailand seems to be caught in some unexplained contract dispute.

"Brother Ze, our plan worked!" A Bing rushed into the office excitedly, "Ximihua's people have been looking for lawyers everywhere recently. It seems that they were tricked by the boxing association in Thailand."

"A trick?" Su Hanze raised his eyebrows. "What exactly is going on?"

"I heard that the person in charge of the alliance suddenly changed his mind and no longer supported Xi Mihua, and also withheld the contracts of several boxers." A Bing couldn't help laughing, "I guess Xi Mihua is so angry now."

"This is really a pleasant surprise." Su Hanze raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. "However, we still have to be more cautious about the matter in Thailand. Send someone to contact the people in the alliance to see if we can get more support for our boxing match."

"I understand!" A Bing nodded and turned to leave.

While Su Hanze was busy expanding the Southeast Asian market, Xi Mihua suddenly asked him to meet. This time the venue was chosen to be a high-end club in Hong Kong Island. After the two sat down, the atmosphere seemed a little subtle for a while.

"Boss Su, you've been quite active recently," Xi Mihua said, with a hint of mockery in his tone. "Almost all the media in Southeast Asia are reporting on your boxing matches, making me just a foil."

"Brother Hua, please forgive me for making fun of you." Su Hanze smiled slightly. "The boxing match needs to be promoted properly. Otherwise, how can we attract the audience?"

"No matter how much publicity there is, it all depends on the strength in the ring." Xi Mihua leaned back in his chair, his eyes cold, "I heard that you have also set your sights on those alliances in Thailand, are you planning to snatch people from me?"

"It's not like they're trying to snatch someone away." Su Hanze said calmly, "It's just that everyone is interested in working together. Who they'll choose in the end depends on their own choice."

Xi Mihua stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Boss Su, it seems that you are determined to fight me to the end?"

"Brother Hua, you are joking." Su Hanze picked up the teacup and said calmly, "The market is big enough. Everyone depends on their own ability. Whether to fight or not depends on your opinion."

Xi Mihua sneered and said nothing more. He knew that in this game, he had already lost the initiative, and Su Hanze was pushing him to the edge of the cliff step by step.

After leaving the club, Su Hanze stood on the street, his eyes fixed on the brightly lit Hong Kong Island in the distance. He didn't know what other cards Xi Mihua had behind her, but he knew that he had to win this battle cleanly and thoroughly.

"A Bing." Su Hanze turned his head, "Have someone keep a close eye on Xi Mihua's every move, especially his contacts in Hong Kong and Thailand. This time, I will not let him even have a chance to turn the tables."

Su Hanze stood by the window, looking beyond the bustling Haojiang River to the sea. He held a piece of intelligence from Southeast Asia in his hand, and the content interested him a little. Some forces in the Golden Triangle have been active recently, and are said to be trying to get involved in the boxing market in Southeast Asia, and Xi Mihua seems to have had some contact with them.

Master Su came in with a pot of freshly brewed Pu'er tea and placed the cup on the table: "Brother Ze, there have been more and more news in the past few days. I heard that Xi Mihua has been in frequent contact with people in the Golden Triangle recently. Is he desperate and wants to recruit people to join his gang?"

"A desperate dog will jump over the wall?" Su Hanze shook his head gently. "Xi Mihua is an old fox. He will never make himself look too passive in anything he does. The Golden Triangle's entry into the Southeast Asian market may not be without his support."

"These people are not easy to mess with." Master Su sat aside and whispered, "I heard that the Golden Triangle not only has manpower, but also money and connections. If they want to interfere in our boxing match, things will be difficult to handle."

"Just because they are hard to mess with, we should be more alert." Su Hanze put down the documents and turned to look at Master Su. "Now is not the time to be afraid, but the time to be on guard. Let A Bing keep an eye on the people coming from the Golden Triangle, especially the details of Xi Mihua's contact with them."

"I understand." Master Su nodded and turned to make arrangements.

A few days later, A Bing brought back detailed intelligence. The people from the Golden Triangle had sent an important representative to Hong Kong Island, ostensibly to discuss some kind of logistics cooperation, but in fact, there was a high possibility that he was here to support Xi Mihua.

"Brother Ze, that man is called Kansa, and the family behind him is very well-known in the Golden Triangle." A Bing put a photo on the table, "I heard that this time he came, not only with funds, but also with casino resources."

"Casino?" Su Hanze's eyes lit up. "It seems that the boxing match is just their entrance. Their real goal is to launder the funds of the Golden Triangle."

"Then what should we do?" A Bing asked, "Should we go after Kansa directly?"

"We have to keep an eye on them, but not to alert them." Su Hanze put the photos into a folder. "They want to use the casino as a cover, so we'll start with their cover. A place like a casino can never hide too many secrets."

At the same time, Xi Mihua also met with Kansa in a luxury hotel in Hong Kong Island. Kansa was tall, with deep features, wearing a well-tailored suit, and spoke with a strong Southeast Asian accent: "Brother Hua, as long as the cooperation goes smoothly this time, the resources of the Golden Triangle will continue to support your plan." "Mr. Kansa's kindness, I will certainly not let him down." Xi Mihua said with a smile, "However, the situation in Hong Kong Island and Haojiang is complicated, and some things need to be done step by step."

"Brother Hua, you're worrying too much." Kansa smiled confidently, "With our support behind you, any problem can be easily solved. What's more, I heard that your opponent is just a novice."

"Newbie?" Xi Mihua raised his eyebrows slightly, and said meaningfully, "Su Hanze is not simple. His background and methods are not something that ordinary people can deal with."

"That's even more interesting." Kansa picked up a glass of whiskey. "A strong opponent will only make the victory more valuable."

Xi Mihua did not respond. He knew that Kansa was dismissive of the situation, but he knew better than anyone how powerful Su Hanze was. The representative of the Golden Triangle in front of him might not be able to truly understand the complexity of Haojiang.

A few days later, Su Hanze appeared in a high-end casino in Hong Kong Island. This casino was an industry that Kansa had just invested in. On the surface, it was well managed, but in fact, there were many secret transactions hidden in secret. Su Hanze did not come alone. He brought He Qun with him, and the two of them pretended to be ordinary gamblers.

The casino was brightly lit, and the air was filled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol. He Qun, wearing an elegant evening gown and holding a glass of red wine, whispered, "Aze, are you really going to start from here? Kansa's network of connections is not something that can be easily shaken."

"It's worth taking action precisely because it's not easily shaken." Su Hanze glanced around and fixed his eyes on the VIP room in the distance. "Sister Qun, help me keep an eye on the home court. I'm going to meet the boss here."

He Qun nodded and walked to the other side of the hall with his glass of wine.

When Su Hanze entered the VIP room, Kansa was chatting and laughing with several wealthy people in Hong Kong Island. Seeing Su Hanze, Kansa was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Boss Su, long time no see."

"Mr. Kansa, I'm here because of your reputation." Su Hanze sat down and said in a calm and polite tone, "I heard that this casino is very popular recently. I'm an outsider, so I also want to come and see it for myself."

"Boss Su is indeed a man who knows what he's doing." Kansa picked up the wine glass with a hint of speculation in his eyes, "However, this is not just gambling, there are more opportunities."

"Opportunity?" Su Hanze smiled. "I wonder what kind of opportunity Mr. Kansa is referring to?"

"Boss Su is so smart, he should have guessed it." Kansa's tone was gentle but meaningful, "The markets of Hong Kong Island and Macao can only maximize their benefits by joining forces. The Golden Triangle is willing to serve as a bridge, as long as everyone is willing to cooperate."

"That sounds good." Su Hanze nodded slightly. "However, I still prefer a stable business model. After all, the charm of boxing lies in transparency and fairness, isn't it?"

Kansa's smile faded slightly, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He realized that Su Hanze in front of him was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

When leaving the casino that night, Su Hanze sat in the car and pondered for a long time. Kansa's attitude showed that the Golden Triangle was not just for money laundering, they wanted to get involved in the entire Haojiang market. And he had to completely cut off Xi Mihua's retreat before they could gain a foothold.

"A Bing." Su Hanze looked at the front seat, "Have someone check Kansa's capital flow, especially his recent movements in the Golden Triangle and Southeast Asia."

"I understand." A Bing nodded in agreement.

Su Hanze stood in his office, and outside the window was the gradually darkening night of Haojiang. The light reflected on the glass made his figure a little blurry. His mind was still replaying the conversation with Kansa in the casino that night. On the surface, Kansa was polite and modest, but every word was full of threats and temptations.

Master Su pushed the door open and came in, holding a stack of information in his hands, his face full of excitement: "Brother Ze, the eldest wife sent a message saying that she has mastered the recent flow of a large amount of funds in Kansa, and it seems to involve a small casino in Haojiang."

"The small casino in Haojiang?" Su Hanze raised his eyebrows. "Have they already started?"

"It looks like it." Master Su put down the information, his tone a little more worried, "This small casino is in the East District, it's not big, but I heard that there are Xi Mihua's people behind it."

"Brother Hua has really invested a lot this time." Su Hanze sneered, "Although the East District is small, its location is sensitive. He wants to use the funds from the Golden Triangle to test our bottom line."

"Then what should we do? Should we just take action?" Master Su was eager to try.

"Don't be impatient." Su Hanze waved his hand. "This game is not played by Xi Mihua alone. The forces behind Kansa are also watching. We can't act rashly. Let them spread out their chess pieces first."

At this time, A Bing rushed in with an urgent report in his hand: "Brother Ze, something big has happened! Kansa's people made a move in the casino today and got two Southeast Asian boxers. They said they were going to sign them to Xi Mihua's boxing team!"

"They're really quick." Su Hanze took the report and quickly flipped through it. His eyes gradually turned cold. "It seems that they are not just testing us, but trying to force us to take action."

"Brother Ze, this is intolerable!" A Bing said indignantly, "Ximihua and Kansa are almost riding on our heads!"

"Whether we can endure it or not is not the point." Su Hanze closed the file and said calmly, "The point is, how can we make their actions look like they are paving the way for us."

"How is this possible?" Master Su looked confused.

"It's very simple." Su Hanze raised a meaningful smile, "The funds in the Golden Triangle will not only focus on boxing matches. What they want is a bigger market, and the casinos in Haojing are their real target. We will let them see that our boxing matches and casinos can open a bigger door for them."

That night, Su Hanze arranged a meeting with the first wife, He Qun, Lu Dongpi and Ah Gong. The venue was decorated very low-key, but everyone looked particularly solemn.

"Kansa's purpose is obvious." Su Hanze handed the report to the first wife, "They want to infiltrate Haojiang through boxing matches, but their real goal is to control the casino market in Haojiang."

The first wife flipped through the documents and frowned slightly: "If the forces from the Golden Triangle really intervene in Macao, the consequences will be disastrous. We have all seen their methods."

"So, we can't force it this time." He Qun put down his wine glass, his eyes sharp, "We have to make them lose their composure. Su Hanze, what's your plan?"
