Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 165 Group Draw
The Peninsula Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui.

"Miss, this red one is our classic Hermès Kelly bag, and this brown one is a Bolide, which is also very beautiful! The Birkin bag on the left is a new style launched last year; it's both beautiful and practical, and can hold quite a lot!"

At that moment, the sales assistant laid out several handbags she had selected together for Moonlight to compare.

Seeing that Yueguang seemed a bit conflicted, Ye Dongsheng chuckled and said, "Let's wrap up all three of them, we'll take them all!"

The saleswoman was overjoyed. She hadn't expected this handsome man to be so generous. She wondered which wealthy young master he was!
"Miss, you're so lucky to have such a good boyfriend!"

Moonlight didn't agree immediately. Instead, she tugged at Ye Dongsheng's arm and said coquettishly, "Why buy so many at once? I'm not a bag fanatic~"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "Since you like them all, just buy them all and take turns carrying them!"

"Isn't that too wasteful?"

Moonlight hesitated before asking. Although she knew that Ye Dongsheng's business was doing very well, the way he casually bought three luxury handbags still made her, who was used to a hard life, feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's just a small amount of money, your happiness is the most important thing~" Ye Dongsheng said, gently putting his arm around Yueguang's waist.

Hermès bags aren't that expensive these days. For example, the new Birkin bag launched in 84 cost just over US$2000, while it sells for HK$2 in Hong Kong. The three bags together cost less than HK$10, which is really small change for Ye Dongsheng, who currently earns millions a day.

Seeing Ye Dongsheng's attitude, Moonlight felt very sweet and happily kissed him on the cheek.

"Sir, Madam, you two are so loving! You're even more beautiful than those big stars on TV!" the saleswoman immediately exclaimed.

Ye Dongsheng laughed heartily and said, "No celebrity can compare to our Moonlight!"

At this moment, Ye Dongsheng is shopping with Yueguang. You ask why they are shopping at the Peninsula Hotel?

Because there aren't many high-end shopping malls on Hong Kong Island these days!
Well-known large-scale high-end shopping malls such as Taikoo Li will not be open for another two or three years.

The newest and most upscale shopping mall on Hong Kong Island is SOGO in Causeway Bay, which opened just six months ago.

But as you can tell from the name, it's actually still in the form of a department store.

Having wealthy heiresses and socialites shop in department stores with poor people? Doesn't that lower their social standing?

Therefore, some of the top luxury brands on Hong Kong Island currently choose to stay in high-end venues, such as the Peninsula Hotel.

This is why many Hong Kong celebrities love to come to the Peninsula Hotel; it's not just for dining, they also come to buy luxury goods!

A moment later, Ye Dongsheng led Yueguang to the Patek Philippe watch counter.

"Miss, this diamond-encrusted Calatrava suits you so well!"

Moonlight hesitated before asking, "Cousin, isn't it too expensive?"

Watches are not like clothes or bags; they are much more expensive. This watch costs nearly 40 yuan!

Ye Dongsheng simply smiled and asked, "Is it pretty?"

Moonlight nodded: "But..."

"This one will do."

"Okay, sir! This custom-made diamond-encrusted piece will be available in two months. If possible, I'll take your wrist size now."

Ye Dongsheng smiled and nodded, then went directly to the counter to swipe his card.

"Miss, you're so beautiful, and your husband treats you so well. I'm truly envious!"

The moonlight also smiled; any woman would feel incredibly happy to see her man so willing to spend money on her.

At the counter, the clerk said, "Sir, the total is 38.8!"

As Ye Dongsheng swiped his card, he asked with a smile, "Does Patek Philippe have a VIP system?"

The clerk immediately replied, "Yes, sir, you can become our VIP member today. You can communicate directly with Patek Philippe for any requests in the future!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled. It seemed that Patek Philippe was currently focused on service and had not yet launched that somewhat peculiar VIP system.

In his past life, Ye Dongsheng had seen a video online that complained that if you wanted to buy a Patek Philippe watch, you had to become a VIP first. If you weren't a VIP, you couldn't buy a watch in the store. But how could I become a VIP if I didn't buy a watch? This created a paradox.

The specific rules are that you can only buy the basic model at the beginning, and you upgrade step by step. Each level allows you to buy watches of a corresponding grade. After reaching the highest level, you can buy any watch. Some regions also have time limits, such as a 5-year period to test user loyalty.

Patek Philippe probably hasn't released this yet.

Even if it is implemented, such rules will only restrict ordinary people. For the truly wealthy, such as the tycoons in Hong Kong and the gambling king, even if they have never made any purchases before, if they want to buy a top-of-the-line Patek Philippe, the regional manager will simply deliver it to them without any barriers.

After all, these things can enhance brand influence, and they'd love to see that. Only a fool would stop them!

In the restaurant, Moonlight and Ye Dongsheng sat facing each other.

"Cousin, I'm not actually that into luxury brands. As for bags and watches, as long as they work, that's fine! I'm afraid I'd feel uneasy wearing such expensive things."

Based on Moonlight's current monthly income of several thousand dollars, it would take him 10 years of saving up without eating or drinking to buy this watch.

Ye Dongsheng laughed and said, "Money is meant to be spent, otherwise why would you save it up like a miser? Don't worry, life will get better and better in the future. You just need to learn to accept it and adjust your mindset."

Besides, the one I bought for you isn't the most expensive one; it's less than HK$40. Don't feel too guilty. The top-of-the-line Patek Philippe costs US$50!

Moreover, I will be dealing with all sorts of people in the future. When you attend a banquet, all those rich young ladies and wealthy women will be wearing gold and silver. If you don't have any, wouldn't you feel very wronged?

If you really don't like it, you don't have to use these things normally, but you can't be without them when you want to make a good impression.

Moonlight nodded as if she understood. Her cousin's business was growing bigger and bigger, and he was getting to know people at higher levels. It seemed that she couldn't hold him back and embarrass him in the future!

Thinking about this, Moonlight felt that she should seek advice from someone in the future and learn how to be a qualified wealthy wife!
And although she said she wasn't used to it, she was actually quite happy inside. What woman doesn't like to compare herself to others? She's not some saint who treats money like dirt!

Because of her family background, she had been looked down upon a lot when she was in school. After all, people from Lantau Island were considered country bumpkins by locals.

Now that she's successful, she has all kinds of luxury goods. At the next class reunion, she's definitely going to show off to those cheapskates! She'll have a good time being so smug!
Then Ye Dongsheng added, "I've already signed up for a membership at the horse racing club. I'm going to choose a horse next week, and you'll come with me, cousin!" Moonlight exclaimed in surprise, "Really? I've never even touched a horse before!"

"Hehe, if you like, you can pick one, train it well, and it'll be ready to compete in a few months~"

Moonlight's eyes shimmered with spring water, all she could see was Ye Dongsheng's image. She said sweetly, "Cousin, you're so good to me~"

"You're my woman, of course I'll treat you well!"

Ye Dongsheng has been starting his business lately, leaving early and returning late. Now, after finishing the inventory at the store every night, he has to wait until after 10 p.m. to leave. Moreover, he has to travel to the mainland from time to time, so he doesn't have much time to spend with Yueguang.

If we disregard the time spent in bed at night, Ruan Mei probably spent more time with him during the day than under the moonlight when she was awake.

So Ye Dongsheng felt a little guilty, and spending some money to make her happy was perfectly acceptable. He'd have to find an opportunity to tell her about Ruan Mei later.

However, he wasn't lying just now; if he were to take Moonlight out to social events in the future, she would indeed need a proper outfit.

He is currently in the stage of newly entering the high society of Hong Kong Island. He needs these things to adorn himself and integrate. If he becomes a top figure in Hong Kong Island, he can return to his original simplicity. Even if he wears old cloth shoes that cost 5 dollars a pair, he will still be sought after.

He also commissioned a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce Phantom VI for £25, but it wasn't for his own use; it had other purposes, which we won't go into for now.

As the caviar entered her mouth, Moonlight savored it with delight. All the wonderful life she had dreamed of during her teenage years had come true during this time. And she had such a loving and caring partner. It was like a dream!
Just then, the cell phone rang. When Ye Dongsheng answered the phone, Yueguang noticed that his brows were gradually furrowing, indicating that something had happened, which made her heart jump.

"A new express delivery association? He really said that?"

"Ha, you suspect I framed him? This Big D, he hasn't even taken the top position yet, and he's already more arrogant than me! Chairman Ye, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

Ye Dongsheng snorted coldly. How to deal with it? Daring to challenge the authority of the courier association, of course we'll gather our men and take him down!

If there is no response at this time, the prestige that the express delivery association has built up over this period of time will be lost, and what use will his words be as the chairman in the future?

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tiansheng smiled. Just as expected, Ye Dongsheng and he were now contacting members of the association to form a group to take down Big D!

Jiang Tiansheng immediately called Camel, but Camel seemed rather uninterested.

"Ah Sang, Wedding Invitation Street is your territory. Why does Hung Hing have to make such a big fuss to deal with Big D?"

"Boss Luo, this isn't just a matter for Hung Hing. Big D is challenging the authority of our association, and you're a member too, so of course we all need to put in the effort!"

"Hey, I haven't been shirking my duties. My men have been patrolling the market non-stop these past few days."

For Camel, even if Big D opens a courier company in Wan Chai, he won't be directly affected. He's not worried; it's Jiang Tiansheng who should be anxious.

Jiang Tiansheng advised, "Brother Luo, you should think this through. Big D represents Wo Luen Shing. He's currently in the courier business, but he might switch to something else in a couple of months."

"Over the years we've kept Wo Luen Shing out. If we really let Big D into Wan Chai and establish himself here, it will be very difficult to drive Wo Luen Shing out!"

Nowadays, Wo Luen Shing only has two bars in Wan Chai, Dragon Head Chicken, and has never had any intention of expanding. But Big D is different. With his arrogant personality, who would believe that he would behave?
Wan Chai, as a bustling commercial district on Hong Kong Island, isn't just Hung Hing's territory; Tung Sing also has many establishments there. If Wo Luen Shing were to move in, Tung Sing would definitely be affected in the long run.

The camel was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "You're the vice president, so you're supposed to put in more effort! I, the camel, am nothing!"

Jiang Tiansheng's heart skipped a beat, and he chuckled, "Boss Luo, we've known each other for so long, just say what you want to say!"

"Okay, I'll send someone over to help you. You help me get elected as the vice president!"

Jiang Tiansheng thought for a moment and said, "No problem, but you can't just send someone to go through the motions."

"Don't worry, I, Camel, always keep my word! This time, I have a few really good men who came back from the Netherlands with me!"

Jiang Tiansheng fell silent upon hearing this. The Netherlands was a haven for gangsters and a territory for foreigners. Those who could make a name for themselves there were all ruthless characters.

Meanwhile, Han Chen also received a call from Ni Yongxiao. After hearing what had happened, he couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Ni, are you really going to take action against Wo Luen Shing?"

"Take some men with you to help out, and be prepared to adapt to any situation."

"I understand!" Han Chen smiled and hung up the phone.

"Supporting" means going through the motions but not actually doing anything; they're just there to make a show of things. If a real fight breaks out, they'll hide in the back and run away the moment the police arrive.

Come to think of it, Wo Luen Shing opened a shop in Wan Chai, not Tsim Sha Tsui, so why bother putting in so much effort?
"Silly Qiang, you and Dilu gather your men, I'll take you for a drive in Wan Chai tonight!"

……

Wan Chai, Luen Shing Express.

There were rows of vans parked at the entrance, with one underling after another getting out of them.

Inside the shop, Big D sat leaning against the counter, a cigarette dangling from his lips, watching the chicken vendor walk around, and frowned as he said:

"Hey chicken, what are you afraid of? It's just a big shot from Hung Hing, what's scaring you like this?"

I really want to give Big D a piece of my mind. You're used to living a carefree life in Tsuen Wan, how could you understand the complicated situation in Wan Chai? Even he, the head of Wo Luen Shing, has to keep a low profile here.

If you had just kept quiet and continued doing delivery, that would have been fine. But now you're acting so arrogantly, aren't you just asking to be targeted?
“Big D, Wan Chai is not our territory or Luen Shing’s territory. Even if you call people to guard it for a day or two, can you guard it forever? I think we should negotiate with Hung Hing!”

Big D's underlings are all from Tsuen Wan, how could they possibly be stationed in Tsuen Wan for a long time!
Big D certainly understood this principle, but he scoffed:
"What can we say now? We need to have enough troops and fight one match before we talk! Otherwise, they'll think our Big D is easy to bully!"

Chi Ji sighed, "What I'm afraid of is that more than one big B is coming!"

If it were so easy to establish oneself in Wan Chai, he wouldn't only have two bars.

Just as Big D was about to say something, Ponytail ran over and shouted, "Boss, someone's here!"

Big D and Chuiji immediately went outside...
