Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Although Yosuke Sato died, and the Japanese were very sad, Wang Yaotang was very happy!

Throw a lavish banquet!

Singing and dancing!

A lively atmosphere filled the air with clinking glasses and toasts!

A world where only Japan gets hurt has been achieved!
With a sorrowful expression, Wang Yaotang pulled Yamamoto Kenichi and Shigemasa Mota and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop myself in the ring. Alas, I'm very sorry for Sato Yosuke's death."

If you could just shut up, we'd believe you. The two were speechless, but could only say, "It's alright, Mr. Wang. This is the fate of a martial artist. I believe that Sato Yosuke's spirit in heaven will find peace if he dies by your hand."

Since they said that, Wang Yaotang chose to trust them, and Sato Yosuke should thank us.

This battle has made Wang Yaotang famous in the global Chinese community. There will be no more obstacles in Japan. When Yamamoto Kenichi and Shigemasa Mota placed their orders, they still had smiles on their faces.

Even though Yosuke Sato is dead, the company made money!
350 million videotapes, totaling $6000 million.

Lingerie, 120 million sets, $700 million.

Video recorder technology was developed in Japan, where it has the highest penetration rate and the market demand for videotapes is enormous.

Shigemasa Mota and several other companies considered building their own factories to replicate the model, but after calculating the production costs, they decisively gave up.

Japan currently has a predominantly 'lifetime' employee system, resulting in ridiculously high labor costs. Coupled with various taxes, it's more cost-effective to order from Wang Yaotang. In addition, Wang Yaotang has a truly comprehensive selection of products, as he has been planning to enter this industry for two years and has acquired master copies of Hollywood films and anime through various channels.

As for copyright... it's been used by several companies as shells.

Before Wang Yaotang opened his company in the United States, there was nothing the US could do.

Based on the 350 million boxes, several companies also acquired the copyrights to some Japanese films and animations, intending to have them manufactured by Wang Yaotang. Of course, this is a separate business.

With the Japanese side included, Wang Yaotang's '10 billion' sales plan can be considered a complete success.

He didn't care what the three 'Yi An' families wanted to discuss later.

The next day, after sobering up, it was already afternoon. Without saying a word, Wang Yaotang led his men across the sea straight to Macau.

He bet 3 million on himself to win, and then sold it for 6.3 million!

When Wang Yaotang came to collect the payment, Old Man He personally greeted him at the entrance of the Lisboa Hotel.

"Wow, Mr. He, I feel uneasy seeing you like this. How could I trouble you, a junior like me, to wait for me?" Wang Yaotang quickly walked over.

After all, they're paying money, so they should be treated with respect.

"Haha, you're the biggest winner in the history of the Lisboa Casino, of course I have to come and welcome the God of War!" Old Man He said with a smile.

“No, no, I’m not called the God of War, I’m called the God of Gamblers.” Wang Yaotang raised his eyebrows. “Maybe someone is better at gambling than me, or has better luck than me, but I can definitely beat them to admit defeat, so I can’t possibly lose.”

"You... hahaha, you're quite the oddball among the God of Gamblers." Old Man He's lips twitched.

After a few casual words, the two entered the Lisboa Hotel surrounded by a crowd. Old Man He specially arranged a redemption ceremony for Situ Meilian, and hundreds of guests gathered to watch the ceremony.

Normally, taking photos is strictly prohibited at the Lisboa Hotel, but this time Mr. He made an exception and arranged for someone to take pictures. Wang Yaotang probably used it for publicity.

A single exchange of 6.3 million is a pinnacle achievement and serves as excellent publicity for the reputation of the Lisboa Hotel.

The oil crisis caused a global economic downturn, and the Lisboa Hotel also faced difficulties in its business, necessitating increased external promotion.

Holding the oversized check, Wang Yaotang grinned from ear to ear; the string of zeros was a sight to behold.

If there's any regret, it's that Wang Yaotang would be even happier if it were cash, as he's never seen so much cash piled up together before.

Haojiang is also Wang Yaotang's stronghold, so there was bound to be another celebration. High-ranking officials from the Public Security Bureau, civil servants from various departments of the Governor's Office, and business people of the surname Da were all invited. The banquet was held at the Lisboa Hotel.

While drinking, Wang Yaotang heard that everyone had placed bets on themselves and that they all bet on winning, so he made a small fortune.

"Why would everyone bet on me to win?" Wang Yaotang looked Neves up and down with some disbelief. "The odds from Mr. He show that my winning percentage is not high."

"I don't like Japanese people," Neves replied directly.

Although Japan did not fully occupy Macau during World War II, in 43 Japan forced the Portuguese government to sign the "Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Commerce," which effectively made Japan the protectorate of Macau. Japan also established a military command in Macau and controlled Macau's military and internal affairs.

This caused significant losses to the Portuguese interest groups in Macau, which is why everyone dislikes the Japanese.

Of course, I never thought about making a fortune from this. When buying betting odds, I naturally followed my likes and dislikes, but I ended up making money anyway.

Wang Yaotang didn't care whether what they said was true or false; he took it all as true.

Everyone had a great time at the dinner party. Wang Yaotang then chatted with people from several major banks in Haojiang, and the conversation quickly turned to the 'cash truck' robbery case from a few days earlier.

Speaking of this, the faces of several overseas banks, including Standard Chartered, HSBC, and Atlantic Bank, were very solemn. Several days had passed since the robbery, and the police had not found a single clue, as if the robbers had never existed and had completely disappeared.

This has caused concern for both major international banks and local banks such as Tai Fung Bank and Seng Heng Bank.

International banks, with their frequent cash turnover and constant need to transport cash, are very afraid of being robbed again.

These banks, rooted in the local area, are even more worried. They are small in size and have low risk resistance. If they encounter a robbery of this scale, it is easy to cause public panic and a run on the bank. At best, they will suffer serious damage, and at worst, they will face bankruptcy.

“My company, Umbrella Security, has ordered and modified 10 bulletproof escort vehicles. We’re going to showcase them to the public in a couple of days. I wonder if any of you have time to come and take a look?” Wang Yaotang invited with a smile.

The negotiations with Tai Fung and Seng Hing had been arranged long ago, which can be seen as a friendly signal from the local parties in Macau to Wang Yaotang. Today, the real invitees are overseas banks such as Standard Chartered, HSBC, and Atlantic Bank, as they have the greatest demand for cash escort services.

Macau is a gambling city with a huge cash flow, but there is no airport there, so all the cash needs to be transported to the Hong Kong headquarters by ship.

The general manager of Standard Chartered's Hong Kong branch agreed without hesitation. After the $2300 million robbery, the general manager of the Hong Kong headquarters was in a state of panic. It was said that the London headquarters was forming an investigation team to conduct a comprehensive review of Standard Chartered Hong Kong, including its security system.

The Hong Kong headquarters is in complete chaos right now; any investigation will inevitably lead to problems. The investigation team will come to Macau anyway, and he doesn't want them to see those rusty armored trucks… otherwise, they won't be able to explain where the huge annual security spending goes!
Managers from several banks, including HSBC, Atlantic Bank, and Citibank, hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Their presence there is an expression of their attitude.

After confirming the matter, Wang Yaotang exchanged a few more pleasantries with the group before switching to another group to chat with.

The formal banquet ended at 9 p.m.

"Going home?" Bisina asked after getting into the car.

“No, we’ll go to the Situ family’s house,” Wang Yaotang said.

Situ? Bisina glanced at Sha Ze in the driver's seat, somewhat puzzled.

Sha Ze pursed his lips, picked up the walkie-talkie, and gave the address to the lead vehicle in the convoy.

A dozen minutes later, Wang Yaotang got out of the car and entered a villa, and only then did Sha Ze grin.

"Whose house is this...?" Bisina asked with a strange expression.

"Situ Yulian".

"Who?"

“A manager at the Lisboa Hotel, her husband is Awei.”

"Husband?" Bisina gasped.

As soon as Wang Yaotang entered, Situ Yulian lunged forward and locked her legs firmly against him; she had been waiting with the door wide open.

She and Jie Shiwei went to watch the previous ring match. Wang Yaotang killed the Japanese soldier on the spot. His violent punches and kicks, and his masculine muscles... all made her tremble all over.

An hour later, the convoy left, and Bissina clearly saw someone come out of the garage and walk into the villa...

"What are you looking at?" Wang Yaotang asked lazily.

"That person..."

Wang Yaotang turned his head and saw only the door opening and closing.

……

The next day, I visited the Umbrella Corporation base in the morning and entertained friends in the afternoon, all of whom I had met quite often.

"I heard you're a martial arts prodigy, one in a thousand years?" He Jiale asked curiously, "You know how to use jujube pit nails?"

The news spread from Hong Kong to Macau in just one day. What man wouldn't be curious or interested in this?

Of course, the vast majority of people do not believe it and think it is a fabrication made up by everyone after Wang Yaotang agreed to the Japanese boxing champion.

"It doesn't count." Wang Yaotang picked up a jujube, popped it into his mouth, and waved his hand with a smile. "Don't listen to their rumors."

After saying that, Wang Yaotang spat out a jujube pit with a "pfft," and the pit pierced through the leather and into the sponge with a "sizzle."

Neves, Ho Ka-lok, Cheung Chi-fai, Anthony Bratton, Qiu Guoliang and others suddenly turned their heads to look at the sofa, and Ng Kai-yin even poked the hole with his little finger.

"I lost it!"

"You really do know internal energy!"

"My God, are you hiding gunpowder in your mouth?"

"How can this be!"

"All this talk of internal energy cultivation and martial arts is fake. We should believe in science," Wang Yaotang said, waving his hand with an air of self-importance.

I don't believe in science at all!
If we say we don't believe in science, will you kill us with a jujube pit nail?

The group looked on incredulously. Lin Weiming excitedly grabbed a handful of dates and handed them over, "Quick, let's try again. Is it real? Can you kill someone with a date pit?"

It looked as if they were about to pry open Wang Yaotang's mouth and stuff all the dates inside.

"Murder? How could that be? Pfft!"

The date pit shot past Lin Weiming and pierced the leather sofa again.

"Holy crap!" Lin Weiming exclaimed in fright, quickly turning to the side, glancing at the sofa, and grabbing Neves next to him. "Police! Police! Arrest him! He's carrying a mouth!"

Despite seeing Wang Yaotang shoot several holes in the sand, the group remained very excited.

"How did you do that?" He Jiale's face was full of curiosity. "You really practiced qigong?"

The 80s were the height of the qigong craze. In 81, the China Association for the Study of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qigong was established. This trend wasn't limited to China; it swept across Southeast Asia.

"No, not at all." Wang Yaotang explained with a smile, "When you blow hard, the speed of the air just leaving your mouth is equivalent to a level 9 gale. People with professional training, like those who play wind instruments, can reach speeds of level 12 or higher. With more practice, it's not difficult. You have to trust science."

This doesn't sound scientific at all!
If it were so easy to learn, then jujubes would become weapons and their cultivation would be banned...

The group ate a few dates and tried it out. It was indeed possible to blow it out and make it fly very far. However, after blowing it a few times, they felt dizzy and their whole bodies were covered in sweat.

The night ended in this somewhat legendary atmosphere.

The next day, teams from seven or eight banks arrived at the Umbrella (Haojiang) base, where Wang Yaotang personally led a group to greet them at the entrance. (End of Chapter)
