Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 118 Patriotic Jimmy
Kowloon Ice Room.

Nine-Dragon brought over two cups of milk tea: "Please enjoy!"

"Thank you!" Feilong took the iced tea from him, clearly in a very good mood.

As he spoke, he picked up his iced tea, took a big gulp, and then said with a smile, "I'm starting to really enjoy coming here for milk tea!"

He liked this place, not because the milk tea was particularly good, but because it was next to Dongfeng Express, and Ye Dongsheng was sitting across from him.

This wasn't the first time the two had drunk milk tea together. Ye Dongsheng had said he would give him a surprise last time.

And now, he has been given a real surprise. With the death of San Yan Tai, he fought against Wo Luen Shing and executed Guan Zai Sen, thus becoming the rightful leader of Tung Shing!
Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "Congratulations, your wish has come true!"

"I couldn't have done it without Ye Sheng's help!" Fei Long said sincerely.

Without the other person, I don't know how long I would have to wait for this opportunity!
Ye Dongsheng smiled faintly and said, "It was nothing at all."

"If Ye Sheng ever needs my Flying Dragon, please don't hesitate to give the order!"

Feilong said this not only out of gratitude, but also because he had a certain amount of awe for Ye Dongsheng deep in his heart.

Even now, Feilong still doesn't understand what methods Ye Dongsheng used to get Guan Zisen to kill Sanyantai.

This should never have happened, but it did!

He could not comprehend such a sophisticated technique at all, and could only feel awe!

Ye Dongsheng didn't explain anything. This was indeed a coincidence. It was originally just a fight caused by competition in the express delivery industry. Unexpectedly, San Yan Tai took the initiative to enter the game and was just killed by the two airplane duo!

I was just trying it out at first, but I never expected that these two would actually be the nemesis of the boss!
Thinking of this, Ye Dongsheng reminded him, "The two 'airplane duo' shouldn't stay in Dongsheng."

Although these two weren't recruited by Feilong and weren't considered his close associates, Ye Dongsheng was still worried that if they stayed in Dongsheng, they might actually bring Feilong to his death.
Feilong seemed to be deep in thought. He had previously thought the two were unreliable, but now it seemed they were not simple at all! They might just be Mr. Ye's secret weapon!
Feilong nodded directly and said, "Those two failed in their duty of protection. I'll kick them out of the gang when I get back!"

Ye Dongsheng sipped his milk tea, the sweet taste refreshing and invigorating, as he sorted out the gains he had made this time.

By supporting Feilong's rise to power and obtaining his promise, Dongsheng could now be used.

Currently, among the eight major alliances, Tong Yi Tang completely obeys his command. Dong Sheng has Fei Long, so there are no problems. Yi Wei Alliance has cooperated with Tong Yi Tang several times and has always been an ally. Zhong Sheng Tang joined forces with Lian Sheng this time and ultimately got a share of the territory, reaping some benefits. In the future, they will likely stand together with Tong Yi Tang.

It seems he has already won half of the eight major alliances!

Of course, the more important thing this time was that Hutchison Express, a competitor, was directly defeated. As a result, Longgen retaliated against Dongfeng Express, but was also severely hit back!
Lung Kin was a veteran of Wo Luen Shing, and to outsiders, he was the one who lost the fight between Wo Luen Shing and Dongfeng Express.

Undoubtedly, this will deter others in the underworld. Even the Wo Luen Shing couldn't beat Dongfeng Express; they'll have to think twice before entering the fray.

However, Ye Dongsheng did not relax because of this; on the contrary, he felt even more urgent about expanding the express delivery industry.

As Marx said in Capital, "If there is a 100% profit, capitalists will take risks; if there is a 200% profit, they will disregard the law; if there is a 300% profit, they will trample on everything in the world!"

Is cross-border express delivery a highly profitable industry? Absolutely!
In reality, the cost of each package is at most 10 yuan, but his one-day delivery service sells for 200 yuan! That's a 20-fold profit margin!
Longgen is definitely not the only one who's tempted!

This time they destroyed Dragon Root, but what if next time it's the powerful Big D? Will it still be so easy?
Ye Dongsheng had a premonition that Hutchison Express was just the beginning, and that new players would soon enter the cross-border express delivery industry, and there would definitely be more than one!
Can he block that path then? Can he single-handedly fight against all the triads on Hong Kong Island? That's unrealistic!

Therefore, what Ye Dongsheng needs to do now is to take the initiative and gain a greater leading advantage before new players enter the market, so as to occupy more market share!
Just then, Tony walked in and leaned close to Ye Dongsheng: "Brother Sheng, we've caught him!"

"Bring it in."

Tony waved to the outside, and a few of his henchmen brought Jimmy in.

Jimmy was pinned to the ground, struggling and asking, "What are you going to do?"

When he saw Feilong and Tony, he couldn't help but shout, "We clearly agreed to stop, but you broke your promise!"

Feilong glanced at Jimmy. To be honest, he didn't recognize the guy in front of him, but since Ye Dongsheng had someone bring him here, there must be a reason.

Ye Dongsheng raised his hand and said calmly, "It's me who wants to see you. Jimmy, you didn't deliver that package I sent back then as promised."

After being released, Jimmy stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at Ye Dongsheng: "Mr. Ye, I have been utterly defeated in the express delivery matter, and I am completely convinced of my defeat!"

No matter what methods the other party used, if he didn't deliver it, he didn't deliver it. The business world is like a battlefield, and he has truly experienced that this time.

Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "Ah Long, give him a cup of milk tea!"

A moment later, Nine-Dragon took a cup of freshly made milk tea and handed it to Jimmy.

Jimmy had no idea what Ye Dongsheng was up to, but since he'd invited him for milk tea, he figured Ye wouldn't do anything to harm him. With that thought, Jimmy picked up the milk tea and took a sip.

However, the next moment, Ye Dongsheng said quietly, "No need to rush, drink slowly, this should be your last cup of milk tea."

Jimmy was startled, his hand went limp, and the milk tea in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

The last cup of milk tea? Is this going to be his doing?!
The other side crippled Long Gen, executed Guan Zisen, and that wasn't the end of it; they wanted to kill him too! Was this meant to intimidate those who opposed him?

Thinking of this, Jimmy felt a sudden panic, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his tongue even became tied in knots:
"Mr. Ye! I offended you before, please forgive me! I promise I won't do it again!"

Ye Dongsheng looked at the flustered Jimmy in front of him: "Oh? What did you do to offend me?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Jimmy's forehead: "I... I shouldn't have become a courier, I shouldn't have tried to steal Dongfeng Express's business! Mr. Ye, I was wrong!"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "You did affect my business. In just a few days, I lost hundreds of thousands of yuan!"

In those few days, due to the impact of Hutchison Express, Dongfeng Express reduced its number of parcels by a total of one to two hundred thousand.

Jimmy immediately said, "Mr. Ye, just name a number, and I'll work like a slave to pay you back!"

Ye Dongsheng shook his head: "Do I need that little bit of money?"

Jimmy was extremely anxious at this moment; his life was now at stake, depending on the other party's word!
Jimmy immediately knelt down: "Mr. Ye, please give me a chance, I'm open to discussing anything!"

When faced with life and death, what bottom line is there?
Meeting Ye Dongsheng's gaze, Jimmy was extremely nervous.

Ye Dongsheng glanced at Jimmy: "I have plenty of money, but I don't have enough oxen and horses..."

Jimmy immediately replied, "Mr. Ye, I'll do anything you ask!"

Ye Dongsheng patted Jimmy on the shoulder to help him up, then asked him, "Are you patriotic?"

Jimmy didn't know why Ye Dongsheng suddenly asked this question, but considering Ye Dongsheng's considerable power on the mainland, he figured he must be patriotic. He nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "I love my country!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled upon hearing this: "Since you love your country, you should go back to your motherland and work hard to build it up, shouldn't you?"

Jimmy paused for a moment: "Ye Sheng, you... want me to go to the mainland?"

"What? You don't want to?"

Jimmy immediately shook his head, then nodded: "No, no, I'm willing to go! I love my country, I'm willing to go to the mainland to build our motherland!"

Ye Dongsheng nodded in satisfaction: "Patriotic people should always be given another chance!"

Upon hearing this, Jimmy breathed a huge sigh of relief, thinking to himself that his life was saved.

The mainland was so backward; of course he didn't want to go. But circumstances were beyond his control, and he had no choice!
Jimmy then consoled himself, realizing that staying in Hong Kong wouldn't be easy either, as he'd still face Lung Gen's刁难 (difficulties/harassment). Going to the mainland, a change of environment, would at least spare him from all that!

Jimmy then cautiously asked, "Mr. Ye, what am I going to do on the mainland?"

Ye Dongsheng said with a smile, "Didn't you want to work as a courier? I'll grant your wish!"

"Courier!" Jimmy was a little dazed, never expecting that after all these years, he would still have to work as a courier.

Ye Dongsheng only came up with the idea for Jimmy on a whim. This guy had some talent for business; he was quite a capable person.

Dongfeng Express is planning a rapid expansion across mainland China, and they really don't have enough capable people under their command. Jimmy might be a useful tool.

For the next few years, he won't let Jimmy return to Hong Kong Island; he'll just have him work like a slave for him on the mainland!
……

Portland Street, Dongfeng Express, has once again posted a job advertisement at its entrance.

"Hiring delivery personnel; applicants must hold a Mainland Travel Permit..."

After a period of preparation, Xiao Fu and Wang Jianjun have opened a store in Dongguan City. The deliverymen and other staff are already in place and are currently being trained by the two of them.

With the addition of a new regional market, the number of express deliveries has increased, so naturally, the number of delivery personnel also needs to be increased again.

After seeing the job posting, Chen Yongren immediately went to find Ahua: "Brother Hua, about the thing I asked you to do last time..."

Ahua smiled upon hearing this: "Don't worry, since I've already promised you, I'll keep my word! But are you sure you really want to switch to being a deliveryman?"

Chen Yongren nodded.

"Okay! I'll take you to see Brother Sheng!"

A moment later, in the office.

"Want to switch to being a delivery driver?"

"Yes, Brother Sheng, my girlfriend doesn't want me to be a deliveryman anymore. And I've always wanted to go to the mainland to see it for myself!"

Ye Dongsheng looked at Chen Yongren in front of him and asked, "Want to go to the mainland? Do you also want to be patriotic like Jimmy?"
Do you have a return permit?

"Yes, Brother Sheng, I've taken care of everything!"

Ye Dongsheng sighed: "Ah Ren, if you don't become a deliveryman, we'll lose one of our top delivery drivers!"

Chen Yongren chuckled and scratched his head: "No way, Shan Wang is Li Xiaojun!"

Ye Dongsheng waved his hand: "Alright, just focus on delivering packages this week. Starting next week, you'll be transferred to the delivery post. Get ready!"

"Thank you, Brother Sheng!" Chen Yongren quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude.

After Chen Yongren left, Ye Dongsheng rubbed his temples and said to Ahua, "Looks like we'll have to hire another batch of deliverymen!"

This incident reminded him that after the service was launched in Dongguan, the number of couriers on Hong Kong Island would need to be increased.

With his backpack slung over his shoulder and stepping out of the store, Chen Yongren was about to get on his bike and set off when he heard a car horn honking from the roadside.

Chen Yongren turned his head and saw a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur with the rear window rolled down. A man smiled at him and said, "Ah Ren!"

Chen Yongren stopped in his tracks, clenching his fist. His half-brother, Ni Yongxiao!
Ni Yongxiao got out of the car, walked up to Chen Yongren, and looked at the storefront: "Dongfeng Express, you work here now?"

Chen Yongren remained silent. He had always hated his father, Ni Kun, and did not want to have any contact with the Ni family.

Ni Yongxiao smiled and nodded: "Having a proper job is better than messing around like before. If you're willing to walk the right path, your father in heaven will surely be very happy!"

Despite being a triad boss, Ni Kun managed to ensure his children all followed the right path. His eldest son was a doctor, his second son, Ni Yongxiao, studied accounting, his daughter went to school and got married, and his youngest son idled away his time after graduation, but didn't get involved in organized crime.

To put it bluntly, Ni Kun, the triad boss, knew that there was no future in being involved in organized crime. If Ni Kun hadn't been suddenly killed, Ni Yongxiao would never have taken over and gotten involved in the family's underworld business.

"Is there something you need?" Chen Yongren asked curtly.

"It's your sister's birthday this weekend. Come back and we'll have dinner together, okay?"

Seeing that Chen Yongren remained silent, Ni Yongxiao said, "Dad has neglected you a bit in the past, but we are still family."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yongren said, "I will go when I have time."

Ni Yongxiao smiled with relief: "It's good that you're willing to come! Your sister will be very happy!"

Chen Yongren didn't want to say anything more. After getting on his bike, he said, "I still have work to do, I'm leaving now!"

Ni Yongxiao stood there, watching Chen Yongren's departing figure, and sighed helplessly.

Chen Yongren is his father's illegitimate son. Ni Kun had never cared for the mother and son before, which led to his estrangement from the Ni family.

Ni Yongxiao is a man who values ​​family ties and blood relations very much. When Ni Kun was alive, he couldn't interfere without his father's permission, but now that he has taken on the responsibility of the Ni family, he wants Chen Yongren to return to the Ni family.

Once Chen Yongren's figure disappeared, Ni Yongxiao looked away and then back at Dongfeng Express, his eyes filled with interest.

As the current head of the Ni family, Ni Yongxiao had certainly heard of Dongfeng Express, especially since Lian Sheng had recently fallen into their hands, which made him even more famous.

However, what interests Ni Yongxiao is not only Dongfeng Express's unpredictable strength, but also the cross-border express delivery business itself!
With that thought in mind, Ni Yongxiao strode into the shop.
