Hong Kong Film: Short mules have no future, I am in charge of Hong Kong

Chapter 304 If you are really interested in the mine, why not make an offer?
"Who knows." The tall and thin man swallowed, "But if we really call the police, we won't be able to hide what we have done for Brother Kun these days."

"What should we do? How about we run away now?" another worker said in a panic.

"Run? You can run away, but you can't run away from the temple!" The straw hat worker cursed in a low voice, "Let's wait and see. Anyway, we don't know anything. If they really investigate, they may not be able to find out that we are the one."

The more they talked, the more guilty they felt, and they wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Ah Kun finally gave up. He looked at Su Hanze and said in a deep voice, "Boss Su, I admit that these boxes may have been left by Lao Zhang back then. I have nothing to do with these things, but to avoid trouble, I can help you get rid of them."

"Deal with it?" Su Hanze raised his eyebrows. "How to deal with it?"

"Don't worry about it. I have my own channels." A Kun lowered his voice. "It's not good for you or me to keep these things in the mine. It's better for me to come forward and clear them out."

"Clear it off?" Su Hanze sneered, "And then you sell it to someone else and make a profit?"

Ah Kun's expression froze, but he quickly regained his composure: "Boss Su, you don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, do you? Let's each take a step back and save ourselves some trouble."

Su Hanze did not answer immediately, but turned around and walked to the entrance of the mine, turned his back to A Kun, and lit a cigarette. He exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a faint voice: "Brother A Kun, I think you misunderstood. I am never afraid of trouble, but I am afraid of being treated as a fool."

"Boss Su, that's not what I meant..." A Kun's tone was filled with anxiety.

"Okay." Su Hanze interrupted him, turned around, and said with a cold look, "You are indeed capable of dealing with these things. But I have a condition."

"What conditions?" A Kun stared at him with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Baishuishan Mine has nothing to do with you from today on." Su Hanze's voice was not loud, but every word hit A Kun's heart like a nail, "Your people should not appear here again."

A Kun's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Boss Su, what do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple." Su Hanze said calmly, "I will handle the mine matters myself. You don't need to interfere."

A Kun stared at him intently, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and his face had an uncertain expression.

"Of course." Su Hanze suddenly smiled, "If you don't agree, let's let the police handle it."

Ah Kun took a deep breath, and finally nodded with gritted teeth: "Okay, I agree."

That afternoon, the ammunition boxes were quietly transported away by A Kun's men, and the mine returned to a brief period of peace. But both sides knew that the struggle was far from over.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, A Kun locked himself in his office, smoking one cigarette after another, thinking about his next plan.

On the other side of the mine, Su Hanze stood at the entrance of the mine with a deep look in his eyes.

The night in Hong Kong Island was unusually quiet. The moist air was mixed with a hint of salty sea breeze, and the muddy ground of the Baishuishan Mine was washed clean by the rain.

The ammunition boxes that had just been cleared made the atmosphere in the mine even more subtle, like a taut string that could break at any time.

Su Hanze stood in front of the office window of the mine, smoking a cigarette with a deep look in his eyes. He knew very well that A Kun's compromise today was only temporary.

This snake will not retreat easily, but will look for another opportunity to bite. Thinking of this, he pressed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray and turned to look at Ah Liu who was standing beside him.

"What's the current situation at the mine?" There was a hint of fatigue in his tone.

"The workers are relatively honest. At least no one is causing trouble today." Ah Liu shrugged, but quickly added, "But... they are still making some small moves in private. It seems that they are discussing the ammunition box."

"Let them talk." Su Hanze sneered, "No matter how brave these people are, they dare not really attack me."

"But Kun..." Ah Liu seemed a little hesitant, "I always feel that he won't just let it go. He agreed too readily today, which made me feel something was wrong."

"Of course he won't let it go." Su Hanze walked to the desk, picked up a mine account book and flipped through it, his tone was terrifyingly calm, "But he is not qualified to confront me head-on now, so he can only do some small tricks secretly."

"Then what should we do? Should we strike first?" Ah Liu was eager to try. "We are not pushovers. If we really start to fight, who will be afraid of whom?"

"What's the hurry?" Su Hanze looked up at him, a sneer on his face, "You can't just rely on brute force to hit the snake at its weakest point. Wait a little longer, he will eventually reveal his weakness."

At the same time, in an underground bar on Hong Kong Island, A Kun was sitting in a booth near the back with a glass of whiskey on the rocks at his side.

His expression was gloomy, and his eyes were full of hostility. The skinny guy sitting opposite him rubbed his hands nervously and spoke carefully: "Brother Kun, those ammunition boxes have been dealt with, Su Hanze should not pursue it anymore, right?"

"Pursue?" A Kun sneered, his eyes revealing a fierceness, "Does he dare to pursue it? Even if he calls the police, those boxes cannot be linked to me."

"But this mine..." The skinny monkey hesitated, "He has such a tight grip on the mine now, do we still have a chance?"

"Opportunity?" A Kun put down his wine glass, the smile on his face was as cold as a snake, "Opportunities are always created by oneself. He thought that he could feel at ease by driving me out of the mine? Dream on!"

"Brother Kun, what you mean is..." A hint of excitement flashed in the thin monkey's eyes, "Should we still take action?"

"Of course." A Kun nodded, his voice low, "But we can't just go head-on like before. Try another method and give him some invisible pressure."

Skinny Monkey quickly agreed: "Brother Kun is smart! So what should we do next?"

"Simple." A Kun leaned back in his chair with a meaningful smile on his face. "Find a few people to say hello to his clients. Let them know that the Baishuishan Mine is a problem now. Anyone who dares to get close will have to consider the consequences."

"I understand!" The skinny monkey nodded immediately, "I'll arrange it right away."

The next morning, as soon as Su Hanze arrived at the mine office, he received a call from a customer.

"Boss Su, there's been a lot of noise at the mine lately." The voice on the other end of the line was somewhat tentative, "I heard that you dug up something you shouldn't have dug up?" "You've heard too much gossip, haven't you?" Su Hanze leaned back in his chair and said in a neutral tone, "Everything is normal at the mine, and business is going on as usual. Those messy rumors are all caused by someone behind the scenes."

"Is that so?" The client was obviously a little hesitant. "But we heard that the mine might involve... some dangerous people."

"Who is so good at making up stories?" Su Hanze sneered, "You are doing business, it is better to believe the facts than rumors. I have prepared the goods, when can you pick them up?"

The customer was silent for a few seconds, and finally said, "Then let's do it next week. We'll send someone over then."

After hanging up the phone, Su Hanze's face turned gloomy. He knew that such gossip could not have come out for no reason, and it must be A Kun who was behind it.

"A-Liu." He raised his head, his voice cold, "Find out who is spreading rumors about the mine recently."

Ah Liu nodded: "Boss, don't worry, leave it to me."

A few days later, Ah Liu brought back the news. As expected, in recent days, several unidentified people have been spreading negative news about the Baishuishan Mine among customers, and specifically mentioned the ammunition box.

"These people must be sent by A Kun." A Liu was angry. "Boss, this guy is really sinister! We have to think of a way. We can't let him be so arrogant any longer."

"He's playing dirty, so let's play along." Su Hanze stood up, walked to the window, and looked coldly in the direction of the mine. "Since he likes to make up stories, let's show him how to tell a real story."

A few days later, a new rumor quietly spread in the market.

Some people said that a new vein had been discovered in the Baishuishan Mine recently, and that this vein was likely to contain top-quality jadeite. The rumors became more and more outrageous, and some even said that the quality of the jadeite in this vein was even higher than the imperial green jadeite that had been found before.

Ah Kun heard the news very quickly. He sat in the booth of the bar with a gloomy expression.

"Brother Kun, what do you think about this?" the skinny monkey asked tentatively.

"See?" A Kun sneered, "It's clearly Su's smokescreen. He's trying to divert attention and make others forget about the ammunition boxes."

"Then what should we do?" Skinny Monkey said anxiously, "If this news is true, the mine will be valuable."

"Really?" A Kun glared at him, "Do you believe it?"

The skinny monkey scratched his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

A Kun pondered for a while, and suddenly revealed a cold smile: "However, since he likes to make up stories, let's help him."

"How can I help?" The skinny monkey looked confused.

"Let more people believe in this mineral vein." A hint of viciousness flashed in A Kun's eyes. "The more people believe, the more complicated the situation in the mine will become. By then, he will have to let go even if he doesn't want to."

The rumors about the Baishuishan Mine spread more and more widely, even attracting the attention of some small mine owners and investors. For a time, the mine became the focus of the market, and everyone was wondering what secrets were hidden in this mine.

Su Hanze stood on a high place in the mine, looking at the cars approaching one after another in the distance, with a sneer on his face.

This game has entered a new stage, and victory or defeat depends on his decision.

The morning mist on Baishui Mountain had not yet dissipated. The air in the mine was damp and cold, and the muddy ground splashed water when people stepped on it.

Su Hanze stood at the entrance of the mine early in the morning, squinting his eyes and staring at a black car slowly approaching from a distance. The car looked inconspicuous, but when the window was slightly rolled down, he recognized the face sitting in the back seat at a glance - it was A Kun.

"Ah Kun is here. He really knows how to pick the right time." Su Hanze sneered and turned to Ah Liu and said, "Get ready to welcome the guests."

Ah Liu sneered when he heard this and picked up an iron rod beside him: "Boss, why don't you let him taste the taste of iron?"

"Don't be impatient." Su Hanze waved his hand, with a hint of joking in his voice, "People like A Kun are more interesting with their words than with their actions. He came here in person today, probably because of something. Let's first listen to what he has to say."

The black car slowly stopped at the open space of the mine. When A Kun got out of the car, he was still dressed in a suit and looked calm and composed. He adjusted his tie, put on his signature fake smile, and walked towards Su Hanze.

"Hey, Boss Su, you're waiting for me so early. You really give me enough face." A Kun smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a line, but there was a hint of ill intent in his voice.

"Brother Kun, how dare I neglect you when you come here in person?" Su Hanze also smiled, but his eyes were full of coldness. "I wonder what you want to talk about today?"

"Nothing." A Kun walked a few steps closer, glanced at the workers in the mine, and said with a half-smile, "I just heard recently that Boss Su's mine business is booming, and even new mineral veins have been dug out. I'm curious, so I came over to take a look and take in some of the good news."

Su Hanze sneered in his heart, but his face showed no sign of strangeness: "Brother Kun is really well-informed. You knew about the new mineral vein just when it started to show signs of progress. However, there is nothing to see here. It's just a pile of rocks. How can it compare to the business that Brother Kun has?"

Ah Kun heard the sarcasm in his words, and the smile on his face did not diminish, but his tone became a little gloomy: "Boss Su, you are wrong to say that.

Although the Baishuishan Mine is not big, its importance is unmatched by other places. Especially the new veins that have been reported recently. It is said that the jadeite in them is of extraordinary quality. People in the market are all eyeing it. "

"Whatever people in the market say is their business." Su Hanze brushed his sleeves of his suit calmly. "But, if Brother Kun is really interested in the mine, why don't you make an offer?"

Ah Kun was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Su Hanze to suddenly come up with such a move. He pondered for a moment, revealing an "interested" look: "Boss Su, are you really willing to give it up? This mine is your hard work."

"It's a business, why would I be reluctant?" Su Hanze said lightly, but there was a hint of danger in the smile on his face. "As long as the price is right, I can certainly consider it."

When A Kun heard this, his eyes changed slightly and he started to calculate quickly in his mind.

He knew that Su Hanze was testing him, but in this situation, the initiative seemed to be tilting towards him little by little. If he could take advantage of the situation to put pressure on Su Hanze, he might really have a chance to get the mine.

"That depends on what price Boss Su offers." Ah Kun pretended to be nonchalant. "You are such a shrewd person, I dare not make a random offer."
