Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 448, Section 29: The Belated Auction

(Thanks to Wardrobe Guest, Bald Song, for his tremendous support! A big thumbs up to him!)

Chi Mengli remained silent. Whether to do it or not, there was no need to tell Xiao Shandong. He coughed and looked at Xiao Shandong: "Continue to gather information on Song Sheng. Collect any information you can, including business and trends."

"How's the Wen family's investigation going?"

Song Sheng was a sharp blade hanging over his head, while Wen Laogui was a cancer cell hidden in his body. This old bastard made his move silently and directly took away the cannon turret that was out in the open.

No wonder Robin only cooperated with Winston for a short time before they had a falling out and parted ways.

“Wen Hailiang is already semi-retired. The Wen family mansion and Tiantian Fish Farm Company are all managed by Fu Wenpei. Fu Wenpei is Wen Hailiang’s sister-in-law. Mrs. Wen has given birth to three sons and one daughter, and her health is already deteriorating.”

"When the third young master of the Wen family was six years old, Mrs. Wen Wensheng passed away. At the age of twenty-two, Fu Wenpei married Wen Hailiang under the arrangement of Old Master Fu."

“In traditional Chinese culture, it is not a big deal for a sister to marry a man. However, Fu Wenpei had a boyfriend at the time, a poor scholar, and it was Fu’s grandfather who forced her to marry him.”

"However, the poor scholar took the money, left Hong Kong, went to the Netherlands, and is now a teacher, living a happy life."

"To make Mr. Chi feel the sincerity of our Pinker Detective Agency, I have sent someone to the Netherlands to find this poor scholar, obtain his DNA, and conduct a thorough DNA test."

"Fu Wensheng and Fu Wenpei are sisters with the same father, but not with the same mother. For the first three years of their marriage, there were rumors that they slept in separate rooms. Their relationship only improved after they had their fourth son."

"After his second marriage, Wen Hailiang became obsessed with fishing and rarely came home, leaving the family business entirely to Fu Wenpei to manage."

"I'd like to make a bold guess: Wen Hailiang may very well know that the Fourth Young Master Wen isn't his own son!"

"Analysts from the detective agency analyzed the six fathers and their children and found that they shared a family-inherited facial feature, except for Wen Si Shao."

"As outsiders, the Wen family has always taken the initiative to contact the local chamber of commerce. The eldest son married the granddaughter of Sir Zhou Xinian, and the second son married the granddaughter of Fisheries Chairman Zhao Wuji, thus becoming in-laws with the shipping magnate's family."

"Young Master Wen is a director of Tiantian Fishery. His wife, Zhou Xinian's granddaughter, is also a member of the board of directors of Tiantian Fishery and manages the purchasing department, construction company, real estate company, and fishing company. All of them are under Young Master Wen's management."

"All the Wen family's profitable businesses are in the hands of the eldest son of the Wen family."

"Young Master Wen manages the docks. The Wen family's two small docks and fish processing center are all managed by Young Master Wen."

"The third son is rebellious and didn't stay in Hong Kong. He works at the Atlantic Bank as a business representative for Mr. Fu, in charge of gold and credit business. He has a mistress but no wife or children."

"The fourth son is not married, but he is engaged. Fu Wenpei has a close relationship with Jian Dongpu's eldest daughter-in-law. Every time East Asia Bank has problems, Fu Wenpei will take out the activity funds of Tiantian Fish Farm to support East Asia Bank."

"She even moved the company account of Tian Tian Fish Farm to East Asia Bank to support her best friend and old friend."

"Jian Dongpu wants to marry his great-granddaughter to Wen Si Shao in order to keep the Wen family as a major client."

"However, there are also rumors that Wen Hailiang chose Li Peilin's great-granddaughter as the wife for the fourth young master of Wen family, and that the Wen family is also preparing to enter the medical market."

"The situation is still being determined. The socialites at Pink Floyd's are working hard, but Lee Pei-lin's great-granddaughter has a better chance of winning."

"The eldest daughter of the Wen family did not marry into a wealthy family, but married a Chinese secretary in the Construction Bureau. With the support of the Wen family, this Chinese secretary has become the chief assistant for approval."

"Wen Hailiang was not idle either. He fished four days a week, handled company business for two days, and spent the last day at home enjoying family time."

“He has a mistress at Tiantian Fish Farm Company, who is the financial director. This is the main reason why Fu Wenpei did not kick Wen Hailiang out.”

"Wen Hailiang's plans for the Wen family are very comprehensive, and everything is done in a steady and pragmatic manner."

"The real estate business is doing very well now. Both of Wen's companies are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. One is a real estate company and the other is a building materials company."

"This is the general situation of the Wen family. If this is your new target, Mr. Chi, I advise you not to take action. It would be like throwing an egg against a rock!"

"A detailed report is being compiled, and once it is completed, it will be delivered to your desk by someone."

"goodbye!"

Xiao Shandong took out his wallet, intending to pay the bill, but seeing Chi Mengli wave him off, he happily left.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I need a complete list of all the people working at the data destruction company controlled by the wife of the Chief Justice, including the property management company's outsourced personnel at this guy's data company."

Before Xiao Shandong could take a single step, he heard Chi Mengli's words. He turned his head and said hesitantly, "What I'm saying now is just a dream. Even if you tell others, I won't admit it."

"You're not the first person to ask for this list; it can be delivered to your desk tonight."

"I'm drunk!"

Chi Mengli watched Xiao Shandong's disappearing figure and shook her head helplessly. That drunkard always managed to give her some unexpected surprises.

Xi Ren, who had been sitting silently to the side, only spoke up after Xiao Shandong left, saying, "Brother Sheng, the Wen family is too large for us to swallow whole."

"However, if we can take over the Wen family's businesses in one go, we can clean up our act and go ashore."

Going through the cracks and getting out of trouble? Don't even think about it!
If you're a thief for a day, you'll be a thief for life; you can't change that!

Chi Mengli remained silent, simply sipping her coffee and devising new plans.

As Jiu Guniang smoked, she looked at Professor J, who was changing clothes in front of her. Professor J's graceful figure fascinated her. Her breathing quickened, she stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray, and then reached out to hug Professor J.

"What's going on? You've been in bed all night, aren't you tired?"

"Weren't you busy this morning?"

Professor J watched as Ninth Sister's hands groped his body, and his crotch became wet. However, he had things to do today. Two days ago, Mei Feng had come to him, saying that her godfather wanted to see him to discuss the pork business again. He could only slap Ninth Sister's hand away.

"Handsome guy wins against this bastard, finally he's going to do something serious."

“My dad said that if you’re involved with a big boss or his wife, it’s most likely that it’s in the hands of Handsome Sheng. But if you’ve found such a treasure trove, I don’t believe Handsome Sheng wouldn’t make a move. This guess is most likely unreliable.”

"My dad always relies on intuition when he does things, without considering evidence. He's too subjective!"

Professor A asked me to wash rice. After nearly two months of this, I finally got results, but Professor A was unlucky. His whole family disappeared, and I could only accept the washed banknotes with a smile.

Thinking of this, Ninth Sister smiled slightly, feeling very pleased with herself.

Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, you never know who the final winner will be until the very end.

"It doesn't matter where my boss and sister-in-law are. I don't know the final step in the Blue Blood process, so I can't make Blue Blood. But Ah K and I did some research on it ourselves and asked experts from the University of Hong Kong to optimize it."

"We can't produce blue blood with 80% purity, but fire phoenixes with 60% purity are also best-selling products."

"There are still over ten tons of blue blood in the warehouse. Most of it was allocated to various demolition companies according to the meeting that day. There's also a huge pile of sludge rice, which you'll need to handle, Ah Jiu."

"My godfather has been trying to launder money lately, but it's not going well. Mei Feng isn't young anymore, and getting this slut to accept new things is like taking her life."

"In Hong Kong, rice is laundered, and it still has to be done in the water room. This time the amount is quite large, about 50 million."

"I know of at least five private vaults on the island. My boss has made a fortune in the last five years!"

With her underwear and bra on, Professor J transformed into an elegant woman once more. As an ordinary bisexual, she maintained a good sexual relationship with Ninth Sister.

She opened her toiletries bag, took out lipstick and eyeshadow, and began applying makeup in front of the mirror opposite the bed.

Ninth Sister is a lesbian and a pervert. She likes to watch herself while playing, which makes her feel incredibly high. In her own words, it's even more enjoyable than a peeing stunt!
"I've heard the news, Nguyen Van has been arrested!"

After applying his lipstick, Professor J pursed his lips to even out the color, and then shared the gossip he had overheard.

“I’ve heard about it, but Nguyen Van’s father has become active in the Paris underworld again and recently robbed a large block. I also heard that Anna Keligis has passed away and the Keligis family held a public funeral.”

"I sent a private investigator to the Cligis family's private cemetery, and they didn't find any trace of Ruan Wen." "Ruan Wen respected this foster mother the most. Even if it were the end of the world, he would dress up and attend her funeral! It seems our good partner is out of the game."

Ninth Sister lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, somewhat absent-minded. She beckoned to Professor J, who was looking in the mirror and observing himself, to bring her a cigarette case and ashtray. She wanted to smoke to calm her worries.

Professor J placed the cigarettes and ashtray on the bed, began applying powder to his face to cover up the absurdity of the previous night, and continued, "Ruan Wen's father has ordered five tons of pork."

"Collecting deposits and washing rice are handled by the boss, while transportation and processing are handled by the sister-in-law and Ah K. I'm only responsible for the warehouse and logistics, and Ah Li is responsible for finding buyers."

“Now I have to handle the work of five people all by myself. The workload has increased dramatically, and I need to find a new partner.”

"Ah Jiu, are you interested?"

Upon hearing about the business opportunity, Ninth Sister immediately became interested. Professor A had an agreement with the Number Gang: the Number Gang would be responsible for the goods from Hong Kong, the pork price would be 40% cheaper than the market price, and the Number Gang would be responsible for security.

Professor A and Song Sheng had gone through several rounds of battles. Although Professor A lost every time, he didn't come away empty-handed. The Dutch and Nordic routes were now under Professor A's control.

If they can acquire these two lines, the filial piety mound can further strengthen its power.

Thinking of this, Ninth Sister immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "I'll handle the bulk goods, I'll handle the rice washing, and I'll take 30% of the profits."

"You're in charge of the warehouse and factory. Your boss is right. It's safer on the high seas. Even with Da Tian Er, it's still better than being wiped out by the cops!"

The Xiaozidui (孝字堆) has few other things, but it has a lot of pink (粉) items. Whether it's blue blood or fire phoenix, as long as there's stock, the pink sellers below will definitely sell it all.

"You'll handle the deposit this time. I'll have Ruan Wen's father's representative meet with you. Handsome Sheng is on fire right now, much better than that washed-up boxing champion Sheng."

"That bastard, he already agreed to board the ship, and then he arranged for the Big Circle Boys to set us up. He's really disloyal!"

After finishing her makeup, Professor J stood up, picked up her handbag, and walked to the door. Seeing that Ninth Sister was still half-dead, she pointed to the watch on her wrist and reminded her, "Handsome guy is ruthless and heartless."

"He always tries to eat all the washed rice himself. If you're late, you don't know how long you'll have to wait."

After saying that, Professor J opened the door and left. His godfather didn't like waiting, so he should be on time.

Even after her lover left, Ninth Sister didn't move. She finished a cigarette before getting out of bed, changing her clothes, and leaving her apartment.

Bai He had been waiting at the elevator entrance for a long time. When he saw the big shot appear, he quickly went to greet him.

"Boss, Handsome Sheng has already set off. He's waiting for you in the art suite at the East Asia Art Center."

After Bai He finished speaking, he reached out and pressed the elevator button.

Seeing that her trusted lieutenant had already arranged everything, Ninth Sister nodded and stepped into the elevator, with White Crane quickly following behind.

How's business at the bar lately?

Almost a month has passed since she left, and Jiu Guniang has not returned to the bar to check the accounts. The bar has only been sending the accounts to Italy by fax on time. Judging from the accounts, the bar's business has been good recently.

When Bai He heard the big boss ask about business, he thought for a moment and replied confidently, "It's very good. The net profit has increased by five points, and the brothers have also worked very hard."

"The problematic drinks have been replaced, and the hookah has been dealt with. Prices should be able to rise a few percentage points during the Chinese New Year."

"Grandpa Deng is developing a new housing project, but he can't handle the situation in Mudang Village. Old Ding is busy packing up a batch of seafood and doesn't have time, so he called to ask you to step in."

"Situ Tiangang's body has been sent back to Honolulu. The funeral for the old man in the hall is scheduled for next month. The old man wants you to attend on behalf of the number, and the Crown Prince also wants to do the same."

"Should I make an appointment with Grandpa Deng and ask him when he'll be free?"

Baihe recounted everything that had happened at the bar recently, then shut up and stared at the indicator light.

"Old man! You're getting more and more senile as you get older!"

“They’re all from the same hometown. They just find a hilltop and build a house there. If you try to mess with their house, they’ll fight you to the death.”

"The old man has always believed in the importance of harmony, but now that he's old, he can't do it anymore. Go tell the old man that the village of Mudang is beyond our control when it sets fire to firecrackers. If something happens, none of his henchmen are willing to step up and take responsibility."

“If a family of twenty-five feet builds a public housing estate in the most remote place, I guarantee I can get it done for the old man within a month. An eight-story public housing estate will only cost five or six hundred thousand dollars.”

"Big money!"

"Although the hilltop belongs to the Deng family, these villagers also call the old man 'Grandpa'! Let's share the spoils!"

The real estate business is very lucrative, but there are also many people who want a share.

If taking over a property relies entirely on fighting and killing, even if tens of thousands of people from all walks of life filled in their phone numbers, it still wouldn't be enough.

Troublemakers are dealt with, and the mob talks—these are all common tactics.

If you want to stay where you are, then talk about the size of the apartment; if you want to get rich, then take the money from the property and leave.

Based on Ninth Sister's experience over the years, the most difficult people to deal with are the people from the wooden houses. Back then, the defeated soldiers from Hanging Neck Ridge were the predecessors of the Number Gang. Apart from most of them going to Taiwan, the rest of them were all people who were funded by foreigners to build housing estates.

It took a haphazard approach, doing things in a piecemeal fashion, to finally get it all sorted out.

Don't talk about land deeds or property certificates with the villagers of Mudang Village. If you dare to use fire bottles, they will dare to take knives and fight you to the death at your ancestral hall or shrine.

Ninth Sister didn't want to create a large airplane, make the newspapers, and then spend more than ten years in jail.

Bai He nodded. It is true that harmony is the most important thing in business. He would talk to his third uncle and ask him to persuade the old man.

In Aberdeen, Kowloon Island, and the New Territories, people outwardly listen to the foreigners, but secretly they still listen to the elders of the gentry association. If you want to secure your position as an elder, you have to persuade people with reason and fight for the welfare of the local thugs.

"By the way! Go tell Uncle San that we can handle this construction waste ourselves. Handsome Sheng's waste disposal company is really awesome!"

"You only need to pay 50 yuan for a dump truck and 100,000 yuan for a franchise fee every month. Construction waste and household waste can be transported to the designated area, and the rest will be handled by Liangzai Sheng's waste treatment plant."

"Also, the cleanup of Mudang Village this time will cost three million in talismans, which can be covered by shops."

Ninth Sister contracted out all the construction waste in Tsim Sha Tsui, acting as a middleman and raising prices on the spot. She also ruthlessly exploited the various construction sites in Tsim Sha Tsui.

"I know, I will tell my third uncle!"

Bai He quickly stepped forward, pushed open the glass door of the apartment building, and let the big boss go out first.

When Parking Guy 49, who was sitting in the parking spot, saw Miss Nine appear, he quickly threw his cigarette on the ground and ran to her.

"Good morning, Miss Jiu! Give me the keys, I'll go park the car now."

"Don't worry, I specifically found a parking meter driver to check your car, and I guarantee that not a single fly has landed on it."

Ninth Sister was too lazy to argue with Fourth Brother, but she still followed the rules and took out a red snapper from her handbag and threw it at Fourth Brother.

Faced with such an insult, Sijiuzai dared not speak out.

Even though Ninth Sister had trained, she couldn't beat an adult male, but Bai He was different; his fists and feet were famous throughout the martial arts world.

Not wanting to experience Baihe's fighting skills, he quickly squatted down, picked up the red snapper from the ground, took the car keys Baihe handed him, and asked the valet to bring the car over.

Ninth Sister recently bought another SUV, a top-of-the-line Land Rover Range Rover, purchased by Prince on her behalf. It features an all-aluminum body, four-wheel independent suspension, and costs $80,000.

This car was custom-made for Prince by himself. It has bulletproof glass, a chassis that can withstand soil erosion, and tires that are puncture-proof and can be inflated by himself.

Ninth Sister really liked this car and took it, since the Prince had rarely returned to Hong Kong in recent years, spending most of his time in his ancestral home and Greece.
