Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 107 Testing
"What? Someone's stealing our business! They even dare to hand out flyers at our doorstep?!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianjun slammed his hand on the table, a murderous glint immediately appearing between his brows:
"Brother Sheng, let's go back and take them down!"

Xiao Fu clenched his fists, looking ready to pounce.

They own 30% of Dongfeng Express, and their dividends alone amounted to 700,000 to 800,000 yuan last month, and this month it will more than double to 1.5 million yuan!

Now, anyone who dares to step forward and steal Dongfeng Express's business will be utterly ruthless!

Ye Dongsheng remained calm, walked between the two, and patted them on the shoulders:
"I do need you to do things, but not back in Hong Kong Island, but to stay in Dongguan!"

"Stay in Dongguan? But Brother Sheng, our hometown is about to be attacked?" The two looked at Ye Dongsheng with puzzled expressions.

"That's why expanding into new markets is becoming increasingly important for us at this time!"

Ye Dongsheng pressed the two of them down to sit:

"Although Dongfeng Express pioneered the cross-border express delivery business, no one stipulated that only we could do it."

The profits are high, the business model is simple, and sooner or later, smart people will set their sights on it. Today there's Hutchison Whampoa, tomorrow there might be Hung Kee.

In fact, Ye Dongsheng had long anticipated the emergence of competitors; now all he could say was that this day had finally come.

Ye Dongsheng looked at the two of them solemnly: "That's why I let you two stay in Dongguan. Now it's time to open up new markets!"

Our new competitors are only targeting Jinghai and have no ability to develop other cities. We must seize these untapped markets as soon as possible!
As long as we expand into new markets quickly, even if we suffer some losses in the Jinghai market due to competition, the increased market share from the new markets will make up for it!

Wang Jianjun nodded upon hearing this, understanding Ye Dongsheng's meaning: "Brother Sheng, don't worry, we will definitely get things going in Dongguan as soon as possible!"

But then Xiao Fu asked, "Brother Sheng, are we just going to let it go like this? Just ignore them?"

Ye Dongsheng snorted: "How could I not care? I'll go back right away!"

……

Portland Street, minibus stop.

"Sir, would you like to check out Hutchison Express's one-day delivery? It's only 100 dollars!"

A thin man was handing out flyers when he was suddenly surrounded by several thugs who pinned him to the ground and snatched the flyers from his hands.
"Damn it, who gave you permission to hand out flyers here? You're not allowed to do that again!"

Not only that, but several other people distributing flyers were also blocked by Tongyitang at the same time.

Not far away, one of the underlings who had been keeping watch immediately went back to fetch reinforcements.

Portland Street and Shanghai Street are adjacent to each other. In just a moment, Jimmy and Kwan Tsz-sum led a group of Wo Luen Shing people over.

Seeing that the Tong Yi Tong members were holding the leaflet distributor hostage, Guan Zai Sen rushed forward and shoved the Tong Yi Tong members aside.

"What are you doing? You even dare to touch our people and the Lian Sheng Group!"

"Damn it, so what if we mess with you?"

Immediately, the people from Tong Yi Tong also gathered around and began shoving each other with the people from Wo Luen Shing.

As the number of gangsters gathered together increased, and a conflict seemed imminent, the crowd around the minibus station quickly dispersed, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

At this moment, He Wenzhan rushed over with several policemen in blue hats, waving their batons and shouting, "What are you doing? What are you all doing?!"

While shouting, he led his men to cut between the two groups of people and separate them.

The members of the Tong Yee Tong immediately started shouting, "Inspector Ho, the Wo Luen Shing gang is causing trouble!" Ho Man-Chin glanced at the Wo Luen Shing members and walked up to Kwan Tsai-Sum:
"Guan Zai Sen, why aren't you staying on Shanghai Street? What are you doing causing trouble on Portland Street?"

Guan Zaisen complained, "I say, sir, are you kidding me? It was clearly Tong Yi Tang who detained our He Lian Sheng people first! They started this trouble!"

The young man handing out flyers also stepped forward and shouted, "Sir, I'm just handing out flyers normally, and they all want to beat me up!"

"Damn it! Why don't you hand out flyers on the streets of Shanghai? Why did you have to come here?"

"Go to hell, is Portland Street your territory?"

Seeing that the two sides were arguing again, He Wenzhan shouted, "Shut up, both of you!"

He summoned Guan Zaisan and one of the leaders of the Tong Yi Tong, and first said to the Tong Yi Tong leader, "Go back and tell Tony that Portland Street is not a place where he can do whatever he wants!"

Then he nudged Guan Zaisan: "Take your people and the leaflets back with you, and don't cause trouble here!"

Guan Zai Sen was about to protest, but Jimmy stopped him.

He Wenzhan glared at the two groups of men and warned them:
"I don't care what your reasons are, or who is right or wrong. Stop causing trouble now and resolve this privately! Don't disrupt the citizens and order here!"
Otherwise, I'll lock you both up in the police station!

The people from Tongyitang had dealt with He Wenzhan several times, and immediately raised both hands in agreement:
“Officer Ho, we are all law-abiding citizens and would never disturb the security of Hong Kong Island or cause you any trouble! Everyone, please disperse and don’t block the minibus!”

As the people from Tongyitang dispersed, He Wenzhan looked at Guan Zaisan.

Guan Zisen didn't speak, but Jimmy did say with a smile, "Sir, we don't mean to cause trouble! Let's go now!"

After saying that, he pulled Guan Zisen along and led his group of underlings back.

Guan Zisen snorted coldly and asked as he walked, "Jimmy, what do you say now?"

Jimmy shook his head and said, "The police are watching here now, so we shouldn't cause trouble since we're doing legitimate business. But we're just handing out flyers, and Tongyitang needs to give us an explanation!"

This matter is certainly not over yet. It has only been temporarily suspended by the police, but the conflict remains, and the two sides will definitely continue to clash.

After watching the whole process at the entrance of Dongfeng Express, Ye Dongsheng turned around and went back to his office.

A moment later, there was a knock on the office door, and then Tony walked in.

After he came in, he said to Ye Dongsheng, "Brother Sheng, the people who just came from Wo Luen Shing are all Long Gen's men."

Furthermore, I noticed that Hutchison Express is located on Shanghai Street, which is within Longgen's territory; it must be them!

Ye Dongsheng tapped the table lightly, muttering to himself, "Longgen, Guanzisen, Jimmy..."

He knew the relationship between these people; they were part of a faction within the SUPP. Jimmy, in particular, with his "I can be patriotic too" attitude, was considered one of the more quick-witted individuals, possessing some business acumen.

However, he is now considering not only Lung Gen, but also the so-called "Hutchison Express," whether it is run by Lung Gen and his group alone, or whether the entire Wo Luen Shing is supporting it.

The difference is significant!

Ye Dongsheng stopped knocking and then instructed Tony:

"Tony, arrange to meet them tonight to discuss the terms and find out more about Hutchison Express!"

P.S.: Just got back from Japan, and will resume normal updates starting today. Here's a 2K chapter to start, and another 2K this afternoon.

I was away for 8 days and only updated 4 chapters, so I'm 4 chapters behind. Adding to that the day I took leave, I owe a total of 2 words. I'll adjust my mindset first and start catching up next week.
