What do you mean by quitting the business? I'm not a big shot.

Chapter 657 Extra: Turbulent Times in Northern Myanmar

April 17, 2021, 4 PM.

Victoria Peak, the garden at the summit.

Yin Zhaotang was 48 years old at the time, in his prime. He frequently attended national conferences, expressed his views on the economy and policies, and won bids many times, becoming a prominent figure among Chinese businessmen worldwide.

Chung Yee Group, relying on the chip industry, has become the top stock on the Hang Seng Index with a market value of HK$5 trillion, surpassing TSMC and aiming to catch up with Nvidia, joining Apple and Tesla in the same tier.

It has been another 24 years since his return to China, and he has steadily kept pace with every rhythm of the times.

Lao Zhong not only develops mobile phones, computers, and the Internet, but also chips, automobiles, and drones.
Back then, the "Electronic Harbour" spurred the growth of over a hundred listed companies, becoming the economic lifeline of Hong Kong Island and safeguarding the employment of hundreds of thousands of people during special periods.

The industrial chain involves more than five million skilled workers.

Now that the Electronic Harbor project has reached its sixth phase, the land in Pok Fu Lam is not enough, so it is planned to be located on Lantau Island, together with Hong Kong International Airport and Disneyland.

Hong Kong has become a renowned manufacturing metropolis.

After the handover, the economy took off again, which gave Hong Kong people a sense of belonging and truly brought forth many new young people who love their country, Hong Kong, and their nation.

Leveraging its economic advantages, Hong Kong's films, music, magazines, and other products have become popular throughout Asia.

The city's development index has surpassed that of Tokyo, Seoul, and Taiwan. Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are collectively known as the "Three Major Centers," while Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen, and Pearl River Delta are known as the "Four Tigers of China."

Most people born after the millennium, whether in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macau, heard the name Yin Zhaotang from television when they were young.

But fewer and fewer people have heard of "Immortal Tang". The name "Big Boss Tang" is only preserved in the memories of the old bones, and even the old bones dare not call him out loud.

Besides serving on various committees and as a representative, the most well-known position that replaced Sin Tong was that of "Special Advisor on Hong Kong Affairs".

Since 97, who has been the advisor to the five consecutive chairpersons? Who made the final decisions?
It inspires imagination
In addition, in the business world, he has mentored, invested in, and nurtured many younger generations, such as Xiaomi, Huawei, Tencent, and Ant Financial.

In political circles, he cultivated many positive relationships and avoided many pitfalls.

His political maneuvering and foresight often leave foreign media in awe, and some online even call him "God Musk," implying he's a scaled-down American version of "God Musk."

In the afternoon, he had just finished his nap, dressed in sportswear, holding a golf club, and stepped into the indoor golf course in the garden.

I plan to play a couple of rounds casually before heading to the office to review some documents.

Now, the position of group president has been handed over to Rongzai. With his father protecting him, and being a business graduate, plus the assistance of his "little sister" who is the human resources director.

In recent years, Rongzi has done a good job and has been recognized by many senior figures, and the market value has risen steadily along with the company.

The former "top young master of Hong Kong Island" in the second-generation elite circle has gradually settled down and started to focus on his career.

Yin Zhaotang was happy to focus on the big picture and handle the politics, while using "odd jobs" to cultivate his child's abilities was always a good thing.

Money,

You can never earn enough.

The foundation of Lao Zhong's family is so deep that, unless there is a world war, it will not be lost even after ten generations, and the family fortune will be more than enough to last.

The significance of developing enterprises is simply to develop the economy, profit from foreign trade, and drive national progress.
At this moment, Egg Tart, dressed in a suit, with a full beard and a cigar in his mouth, swiped his card to open the small door, walked into the front yard of the manor, and said while exhaling smoke, "Brother Tang, something's happened."

"What?"

"It's a minor incident if it's not a Russian missile," Yin Zhaotang said with a beaming smile, his hands gripping the pole. Egg Tart handed him a document and joked, "Do you think I'd dare use a missile to hit us?"

“Unless they don’t want the drones anymore!” Egg Tart stroked his stubble, his face grim, and said, “The people I sent to Kokang to investigate have returned.”

"The situation there is not optimistic."

Yin Zhaotang narrowed his eyes, his thick eyebrows furrowing with murderous intent, and said coldly, "The four major families, their names are impressive, but they are just small fry in the open. Who are the big shots behind each of them!"

Egg Tart explained, “Shan State and Kokang are too chaotic. At the beginning of the year, a coup occurred in northern Myanmar. In order to raise funds for military operations, the local military began to provide protection for scams, which immediately led to a proliferation of scams.”

"Among them, the warlords are the biggest, the owners of the investment parks are the second, the four major families are the third, and below them are the small bosses and gangsters."

"According to the clues I've obtained, Ah Ju from Macau, Ah Cheng from Taiwan, and Mai Cha Yi from Anxi are all the behind-the-scenes bosses of the investment park. There are fifty or sixty people of all sizes in the underworld, all rising stars and leaders of their respective gangs!"

He knew about the fraud industry; the big bosses had been cracking down on it and eliminating it.

Since the 1990s, it has cooperated with the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau to eradicate the "Golden Light Gang" in the mainland.

These "Golden Light Gangs" are all scourges that originated from Taiwan. After being cracked down on in mainland China, they flowed into poor Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos.

With the progress of the times, in addition to door-to-door fraud and pyramid schemes, new forms of fraud have emerged, such as telecom fraud and online fraud.

However, fraud persists despite repeated crackdowns, and the technology and systems are constantly being iterated and updated.

Nowadays, there have even been heinous incidents such as tourists being kidnapped, abused, and having their organs sold.

Public opinion in China is boiling over.

The security department has contacted him to conduct a covert investigation, hoping to leverage his expertise to eradicate telecom fraud. Yin Zhaotang readily agreed, assigning the preliminary work to Dan Ta. After seeing the shocking data in the documents, he suddenly realized that over thirty years of anti-fraud and anti-fraud work had been in vain!

The rapid changes in the economic and external environment have led many criminal organizations to prioritize profit over morality, and the younger generation has become even more unruly, allowing telecom fraud to continue to grow.

Yin Zhaotang put down the documents, his face displeased, and said, "They prey on their own compatriots, murder for money, they have no sense of righteousness or benevolence, how dare they call themselves江湖人 (jianghu people)?"

“So what if he’s a scoundrel? He’s learned bad habits from those short mules from Taiwan Province. What right does he have to be a leader? In my name, send out invitations to those behind-the-scenes bosses and tell them to come see me at Chao Yi Restaurant.”

Egg Tart nodded slightly, understanding that the boss was once again sweeping through the underworld, cleaning up the dregs. Similar things had happened many times before, and this wouldn't be the last.

Seeing Egg Tart turn to leave, Yin Zhaotang called out, "From now on, include data on the telecom fraud industry in the 'Hongmen Asia General Hall Annual White Paper.' I need to know the complete information."

"Got it, boss."

Egg Tart Boy raised his arm and readily agreed.

The "Annual White Paper of the Hongmen Asia Headquarters" is similar to an annual report. It provides a detailed statistical overview of the current status of Hongmen branches and triad societies with a lineage throughout Asia, including approximate figures for each industry, amount of money involved, and number of members.

While it cannot be said that the white paper has great political significance, it is a very good report for managing organizations and clarifying the structure of various sects across Asia.

Data that has always been specifically requested by industry leaders to be included in their white papers is always a key focus of their annual work.

Yin Jiaju, the head of the Macau Number Gang, known as the "Underground Governor of Macau" and the godfather of Macau, was smoking a cigarette, sucking on it constantly, looking very nervous.

A man from the Loyalty Hall, wearing straw sandals, threw the letter on the table and said arrogantly, "My master invites you. Whether you come or not is up to you, Brother Ju."

A group of gang leaders watched as the man in straw sandals arrogantly left, and all turned their gazes toward the big boss.

A trusted aide named Che Zaihua said loudly, "Brother Ju, our Macau Number Gang is different from the Hong Kong Number Gang. We're not Lao Zhong's dogs." "If he tells us to go, we'll just go. Wouldn't that be incredibly shameful?"

Another underling with dyed white hair thought it made sense and nodded, saying, "Yeah, Brother Ju, no matter how powerful Mr. Yin is, he's just the King of Hong Kong. The King of Macau is you."

Yin Jiaju, whose face was usually stern, suddenly changed color. He grabbed the teapot in his hand, smashed it at the white-haired boy, and stood up, shouting, "Damn it! Mr. Yin is the real king, and what am I? Just a nobody!"

Since the 90s, Wan Ka-kui was undoubtedly the fastest-growing person in Hong Kong and Macau. He was even privately referred to as one of the "Two Wans of Hong Kong and Macau" by Wan Chiu-tong. At that time, Wan Ka-kui managed more than half of the lending business in Macau and also contracted casinos and ran horse stables. He was incredibly successful and often secretly rejoiced at being compared to Wan Chiu-tong.

In order to develop the gang and catch up with "Big Yin Sheng", this "Little Yin Sheng" learned very quickly. He not only developed the film industry to launder money, but also made an autobiography for himself. He even dared to transport and sell arms in the north when the Soviet Union collapsed. He became very popular for a time, and even dared to shoot a Portuguese police superintendent.

But what happened next?

He crossed the line and was immediately arrested. He served more than ten years in prison and has only recently been released.

Da Yin Sheng, however, became increasingly prominent, only appearing on television. The title of "Double Yin of Hong Kong and Macau" seemed like a joke.

However, Yin Jiaju was quite capable. Less than two years after his release from prison, he regained control of the Haojiang Number Gang and followed the trend by releasing "Hongmen Coin" online for money laundering. He was also the owner of "Wohu Mountain Villa," one of the four major parks of the Chan Gang.

White Hair bowed repeatedly, saying in fear, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Koi."

Panting heavily, Yin Jiaju cursed as his chest heaved, "Trying to kill me, you bastard! I heard that Mr. Yin has included eradicating telecom fraud in his annual white paper."

"Get the car ready. I'm going to see Yin Sheng. I want to know what to do about the industrial park so I can die with a clear understanding."

Che Zaihua slipped away immediately, saying, "Brother Ju, I'm going to drive."

Compared to the underworld bosses from Taiwan, Thailand, and Myanmar who rushed back, Yin Jiaju lived nearby and arrived quickly, and was the first to request to see Mr. Yin.

However, Yin Zhaotang postponed the meeting, intending to wait until everyone had arrived before talking together.

three days later.

Qingfeng Street, Chaoyi Restaurant.

Thirty-four bigwigs bowed and stepped over the threshold, looking at the figure in the main seat in the lobby on the first floor.

"Please have a seat, everyone."

Yin Jiaju, the tea seller Yi, the dog eater Cheng, and others quickly greeted him, "Mr. Yin, Master Yin."

Everyone was filled with trepidation and anxiety as they sat down in their chairs.

Yin Zhaotang remained expressionless and unsmiling, coldly saying, "I've got your information. You guys are making a killing in northern Myanmar, huh? You're making a lot of money."

Shi Gou Chenggan laughed and said, "Just a little bit, just a little bit, nothing compared to Yin Sheng."

"Oh?"

“Earning over 10 billion a year is nothing compared to what’s really going on. Ah Cheng has a big appetite lately.” As soon as Yin Zhaotang finished speaking, the gunmen around him immediately perked up and gripped their sidearms.

"No no."

The dog-eating man shook his head.

Yin Zhaotang laughed and said, "Such a big deal, why didn't you ask me?"

The tea seller breathed a sigh of relief and quickly assured him, "If Mr. Yin is interested, I can offer 20% of the shares."

"You dare! I'm the head of the Asian branch. You can't do business without asking me or me saying so!" Yin Zhaotang's expression changed drastically. He smashed the teacup in his hand at the tea seller and stood up, shouting, "You son of a bitch, Anxi Gang, just keep selling your Tieguanyin and Da Hong Pao. You're doing telecom fraud, are you looking for death?"

As a member of the Fujian Overseas Chinese Association, the Anxi Gang is mainly composed of people from Anxi County, Licheng District. Although it is not very powerful, it is united and relies on the passing down of knowledge and skills to help others. In the past two years, it has grown rapidly and is a rising star among the Fuqing Gang and the Changle Gang.

He wields considerable influence in northern Myanmar, but compared to Yin Sheng, he's insignificant.

When Yin Zhaotang erupted, two brothers immediately rushed forward. One pressed down on the shoulders of the tea seller, while the other took out a rope and strangled his neck, tightening it inch by inch.

"Uh-huh." Under everyone's gaze, the tea seller, worth billions, sat in his armchair, his bulging eyes wide open, slowly losing his breath.

Yin Zhaotang crossed his legs, smoothed his long robe, and said softly, "If someone is looking for death, I'll absolutely satisfy them. I'll give you a month to take care of all the telecom fraud in northern Myanmar."

"Whether it's Shan State, Kokang, Laos, Cambodia, Dubai, or Thailand, if I find out again that someone is utterly wicked and harms their fellow countrymen, I will definitely kill them without mercy."

"If you don't close down after a month, I'll close it down for you."

More than thirty bigwigs stood up, clasped their hands in a fist and bow, and said, "Yes, Lord Yin!"

"No, it's not that I'm preventing you from making money, but rather that the reputation of the Hongmen must not be tarnished!" Yin Zhaotang composed himself, his expression becoming unusually solemn.

The bigwigs attending the meeting were all intimidated by Master Yin's power and dared not be negligent, so they went back and closed the park. This was to avoid having the Loyalty Hall's forces take action, which would only offend more people.

The young men who didn't take Mr. Yin seriously ignored his invitation and didn't come at all.

Upon receiving the notification, Zeng Jingfu went up to the attic, bowed, and said, "Big Boss."

"President Zeng, could you please arrange some manpower to go to northern Myanmar?" Yin Zhaotang handed over a piece of paper and said, "Get rid of the people on the list and the industrial park."

“They’re colluding with the military.” Zeng Jingfu’s expression was grave. “This is going to be difficult, boss.”

"Don't worry, you only need to take care of them. Ah Hao will handle the military," Yin Zhaotang chuckled. Zeng Jingfu immediately understood and stood at attention, saluting: "Yes, sir!"

That night.

Upon receiving the news, Wohushan Manor destroyed the documents overnight and prepared to release the detained personnel.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Five kilometers away, swarms of drones took off from the launch pad on the truck, numbering in the thousands. Once inside the KK Park, they immediately exploded into bursts of fireworks.

The horizon seemed to be illuminated.

Countless park owners stood by the window, lost in thought.

"call out!"

A rocket streaked across the night sky and landed precisely in the military camp.

Bang! ! !
It was earth-shattering and unstoppable.

"Get to work." Jiang Hao gave the order, and the domestically produced transport plane circling overhead opened its hatch and released paratroopers one by one.
This operation brought the rampant industrial park in northern Myanmar to an abrupt end. With the assistance of police from the three countries, a total of 120,000 victims were rescued, two criminals were arrested, and the "Four Major Families of Northern Myanmar" were all apprehended, brought back to China, and brought to trial and imprisonment.
