Chapter 140: The Aftermath (Subscription Request)

The second young master of the Lin Baiyi family was not in a good mood when he returned home.

"How's it going? Is the deal done?"

Lin Baiyi happened to be at home. Seeing his youngest son, he said directly, "For something like this, you can just ask the company manager to go there. Why do you have to go to ATV to discuss it yourself?"

"I guess Qiu Degen will raise the price!"

His tone was quite affirmative. As an old-school businessman, he naturally had a good understanding of the wealthy people at the same level.

“It didn’t work out!”

Young Master Lin shook his head and said, "Qiu Degen said that someone had already reached a purchase agreement with him!"

"Oh, so the agreement has only been signed and has not officially come into effect yet, right?"

Lin Baiyi was stunned at first, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a shrewd look.

"That's right!"

Young Master Lin said admiringly, "That's what Qiu Degen said. I guess it would be difficult for the other party to come up with hundreds of millions of dollars at once, so they didn't sign a contract directly to take over ATV!"

"Then have you found out who is the person who wants to buy ATV?"

Lin Baiyi asked, "If you're an acquaintance, the Lin family can only be a shareholder at most. You should also give up the idea of ​​becoming the chairman of ATV and just work honestly in the family business!"

"I didn't find out. Qiu Degen is very tight-lipped!"

Young Master Lin shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't even know my opponent. It's really frustrating!"

"Then just wait!"

Lin Baiyi's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said leisurely: "Don't worry, the other party will show up eventually!"

"That's all it can do!"

Young Master Lin said unwillingly, "It's really unlucky that I would encounter such a thing!"

"Have you read the newspaper 'Night Color'?"

Lin Baiyi didn't dwell on it and directly changed the subject and asked, "I heard that it's very popular among young people!"

"Seen!"

Young Master Lin nodded and said, "This newspaper promotes fashion trends, it's really quite interesting!"

In front of his father, he naturally wouldn't say that he was just looking at the pretty girl and didn't think too much about it.

As a super rich second-generation, vulgar magazines like "Dragon, Tiger and Leopard" could not arouse his interest at all. He had made friends with so many top beauties that he was already an old driver who had experienced the baptism of beauty.

On the contrary, it was the beautiful photos published in the "Night Color" newspaper, in which the beauties in various outfits revealed different temperaments, that had a little appeal to him.

The clothes in those beautiful photos were indeed very fashionable, and sometimes his eyes would light up when he saw them.

"I heard that the trendy clothes I wore in the newspaper are selling quite well!"

Lin Baiyi affirmed: "I've taken a few glances at it, and it's indeed quite trendy!"

"Dad, do you mean to buy the Night Color newspaper?"

Young Master Lin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy!"

Their business is doing well, why should they sell it to you?

Even if Lin Baiyi is worth a fortune, it won’t work. Is it possible that he can make more money?
Based on his understanding of his father, he obviously would not do that.

"Haha, let's talk first!"

Lin Baiyi didn't care and said calmly: "Even if we can't reach an agreement, we can still produce a newspaper like this, and it won't cost much!"

Young Master Lin's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands, "That's a really good idea!"

At this time, he was eager to take charge of such a newspaper himself.

Thinking about the various types of beautiful newspaper girls, my heart is filled with excitement.

The reason why he is interested in the entertainment industry is because of the many beautiful women in it, right?

With the added bonus of a celebrity halo, making friends feels more interesting.

"Are you going to do this or let someone else do it?"

Lin Baiyi smiled faintly and said, "Also, it would be best to find out the secret person who bought ATV!"

"I'll do it myself, don't worry!"

Young Master Lin was full of confidence: "I believe that good news will come soon!"

"Don't just play!"

Lin Baiyi reminded: "It's better to find out the linkage model between that newspaper and the corresponding small garment factory!"

"That small garment factory does have its merits. It can produce a new set of fashionable clothing almost every month!"

"It's not just about copying popular styles from Europe and America, you have to pay special attention to this!"

"There are already enough clothing merchants in Hong Kong Island. I don't want another competitive one!"

"No way, Dad, do you think that small garment factory has the potential to grow and become big?"

Young Master Lin was shocked and said in disbelief: "Anyway, I don't believe it!"

"Haha, then just observe carefully and don't let me down!"

Lin Baiyi didn't explain much, but waved his hand and said, "Remember, if you're going to do it, do it beautifully!"

Naturally, he would not tell his youngest son that the company had already conducted a detailed investigation of the small garment factory.

The results of the investigation made him a little confused. He didn't understand which fashion designer created the new trendy clothing every month, and he couldn't find that person at all.

In fact, the survey report shows that although small garment factories are small, their output is not small at all!
The stalls and shops in Mong Kok are filled with the fashionable clothing produced there, and monthly sales are quite high. Not only that, it seems that the Hung Hing Society's territory also has clothing produced by small garment factories for sale.

It’s just that I’ve never been to a big shopping mall, so it just doesn’t seem classy enough.

However, the survey results show that these clothes are extremely popular among teenagers and young people.

Of course, this is just a small matter for Lin Baiyi.

What really worries him is overseas clothing sales, which have been declining in recent months.

He really couldn't understand this and didn't know what was going on.

Because of the quota system of the British Hong Kong government, the clothing business of the Lin Baiyi family has actually reached its peak at the moment and is basically unlikely to go any further.

Similarly, the sales of clothing produced by Lin Baiyi's factories overseas have stabilized.

There will basically be no major fluctuations, but the current situation seems to be very inappropriate.

This matter must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise I will feel uneasy.

Wu Feng was not aware that his small garment factory and "Night" newspaper had attracted the attention of Lin Baiyi, and that there was considerable acquisition intention.

In addition, through the cooperation between Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin, a large amount of high-quality A-goods were shipped to major economies around the world, inadvertently affecting Lin Baiyi's clothing business overseas.

Even if I knew, I definitely wouldn't care.

Fortunately, Qiu Degen still had some reputation and did not reveal his identity.

Otherwise, with Young Master Lin's temper, he would have called a long time ago.

What he has to do now is to create obstacles for Mr. Lin, so that he will lose interest in running ATV, or will not have the time and energy to focus on ATV in the short term.

As for directly confronting Lin Baiyi, it would not be a big deal if it really came to that.

But it is not so easy to detonate a billionaire with assets worth tens of billions.

Not long after leaving the ATV building, Chen Yao called.

"Oh, there's an emergency meeting at the headquarters. I'll be there now!"

After hanging up the phone, he signaled the driver to go to the Hongxing headquarters, but he was worried.

I haven't heard of any major events recently. Why are you calling a meeting so urgently?
When we arrived at the place, Jiang Tiansheng was already waiting there.

The many hall masters did not exchange too many pleasantries and turned their gazes directly to Jiang Tiansheng.

"I called everyone over suddenly, something urgent is going on!"

Jiang Tiansheng was not polite and said directly: "A major stock market crash just broke out, everyone knows it!"

"Some big bosses have run into funding problems, and their ongoing projects have naturally been significantly affected!"

"Several big bosses called and wanted to temporarily terminate their cooperation with us!"

"I did a rough calculation and found that at least five or six construction sites will have problems!"

"We in Hongxing are worried that thousands of our brothers who earn their living working on construction sites will lose their jobs. This is terrible!"

These words shocked the hall masters present. It was indeed a big deal.

Thousands of strong young men have no work to do and no money to earn, so it is easy for something bad to happen.

Especially the hall masters who were responsible for contracting the construction sites, their expressions were quite ugly.

I didn't notice it before, but now I realize it. No wonder the atmosphere was a bit depressing when I entered.

Wu Feng could only express his sympathy for this.

Of course, he knew that the impact of the stock market crash would soon pass and Hong Kong Island would only develop faster and faster.

Just get through this tough time!

He also knew that it was wishful thinking to expect a group of society members to have such awareness.

In order to make money and eat, there will probably be a lot of chaos.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think we should do?"

Liang Kun, who was sitting next to Wu Feng, asked in an increasingly hoarse voice, "Why don't we just seize the territory of other societies and let the brothers have something to eat?"

"Jiang Kun, you are talking without any pain in your waist!"

The Kwun Tong leader said angrily, "Our Hongxing's foundation is pretty good. Ah Feng has just started a business selling high-quality fake goods and pork trotter rice. Many of the lower-level henchmen have a meal to eat!"

"The situation of other first-rate societies will only get worse. They're probably just hoping for chaos!"

"Except for Tuen Mun and Sai Kung, the territories of our various gangs are all densely populated and prosperous areas. I'm afraid that they have long aroused the envy of other gangs!"

In this wave of stock market crash, the area most affected was Kwun Tong.

Kwun Tong is a famous industrial area in Hong Kong Island, and many bosses went bankrupt due to the stock market crash.

I heard that the financial company under the Kwun Tong branch has a lot of bad debts and bad debts.

Several other hall masters who had engineering teams under their command and were directly affected also expressed their opposition.

The problem at the construction site is only temporary. Once the big boss behind the scenes recovers, construction will continue. That will be their time to play their role and make a lot of money.

"Hey, you guys, figure it out on your own!"

Liang Kun felt a little embarrassed, rolled his eyes in annoyance, and spoke rudely.

He is now a movie tycoon. Does he know what kind of quality and weight this means?

He has completely gone his separate ways from the other hall masters except Wu Feng.

Even if he quits Hung Hing at this time and is no longer the leader of Mong Kok, he is still considered a famous and successful film businessman in Hong Kong Island. He is so confident.
