Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 167 Big D: Chairman Ye, I'm impressed!

"President Ye, it's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!"

In the conference room, many people were looking at Chuiji with a half-smile.

There were rumors before that the current leader of HSBC Group was all bark and no bite, and now that it seems to be true, I was scared by just one sentence.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If they were to face a combined attack from multiple gangs, probably no gang would be able to remain calm.

Ye Dongsheng turned to look at Chuiji: "What misunderstanding?"

Chuiji hurriedly said, "President Ye, we were unaware of this beforehand! We had absolutely no intention of violating the rules, and Liansheng Express had no intention of going against the association!"

Ye Dongsheng frowned: "Sir, what is your relationship with Liansheng Express?"

"I……"

Chuiji opened his mouth, but although he was the head of Wo Luen Shing, the person was clearly not asking about his underworld identity, but rather his identity related to the express delivery industry.

Ye Dongsheng asked again, "Can you make decisions on behalf of Liansheng Express?"

Of course, Chick couldn't make a decision, so he immediately tugged at Big D: "Big D, say something!"

At this moment, all eyes were on Big D.

Big D braced his hands on the table, clenching his teeth, completely enveloped by Ye Dongsheng's imposing gaze. He felt an overwhelming pressure, and a fine layer of sweat involuntarily seeped from his forehead.

He could sense that if he dared to utter another word of defiance at this point, several other organizations would take direct action against him after he left the courier association!
As the most powerful figure in the Wo Luen Shing organization, Big D has become quite arrogant in the past two years, believing himself to be all-powerful and invincible, with everyone giving him face. That's why he previously thought that the courier association wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

He hadn't really taken the courier association seriously before, thinking that those companies sweeping through the market were just minding their own business.

He dared to come to the negotiations with Chiu Chi today because he was certain that the other companies wouldn't dare to really go to war with Wo Luen Shing. Whoever took the lead would suffer the backlash!
But now, Ye Dongsheng has made it clear that he will take the lead in taking down Big D and killing him!

With one leader charging ahead, the other Hung Hing and Tung Sing factions are naturally happy to fight a winning battle and pick up the spoils from behind!

At this moment, Da D truly realized how powerful the courier association, which he had previously disregarded, had become after being integrated by Ye Dongsheng!

Even the top position at Wo Shing Pharma didn't seem so appealing to him anymore. So this is the power of officialdom! With just a few words, he was forced to bow his head!

Big D lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, "I... I didn't know before that Lian Sheng Express was willing to accept a price of 150 yuan..."

However, Ye Dongsheng did not reply.

Tony shouted from behind, "Who are you talking to?"

Big D looked up at Ye Dongsheng again, only to see that the other man still had a cold expression. He clenched his fists, then relaxed them, and said:

"President Ye, my Liansheng Express has just opened, and I'm not familiar with the association's regulations..."

After saying this, Big D felt aggrieved, but his courage to confront him completely vanished.

Seeing that Big D had backed down, Chuiji breathed a huge sigh of relief and quickly smiled at Ye Dongsheng, saying:
"That's right, Chairman Ye, ignorance is no excuse! Please give us a chance, considering this is our first offense."

Ye Dongsheng turned his gaze away from Big D and then looked at the others at the table: "What do you think?"

Camel was the first to speak: "What do you mean 'ignorance is no excuse'? I think he knowingly committed the crime! He doesn't respect our association at all!"

Jiang Tiansheng also said, "President Ye, I sent someone to warn him, but he wouldn't listen."

Chik-Chicken got angry and shouted, "Tsk! What do you two mean? Do you really want to fight us and the Wo Shing Wo?"

Ye Dongsheng tapped the table and frowned, saying, "This is a conference room, don't make a lot of noise!"

Chuiji immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, Chairman Ye, I just can't stand those two trying to sow discord!"

Ignoring Chuiji, Ye Dongsheng asked the others who hadn't yet offered their opinions, "What about you?"

Ni Yongxiao adjusted his glasses: "A violation is a violation. If there are no penalties, who will abide by the association's rules?"

"Yes, that's exactly right!"

"agree!"

After fully demonstrating his democratic nature, Ye Dongsheng announced:

"Liansheng Express violated the association's pricing regulations. Despite being informed by relevant personnel, they showed no remorse and continued to act arrogantly, openly provoking the association. Their actions were egregious!"

Liansheng Express is hereby ordered to close for rectification for six months. Reopening is subject to review and approval by the association.

After saying that, Ye Dongsheng looked at Big D again: "Do you submit or not?"

Chuiji wanted to agree immediately, after all, if the courier store didn't open, it wouldn't open, but why would he really fight with the major gangs over it?

Feeling the mocking looks from the people at the table, Big D's face turned red, but he still managed to utter a single word: "I give up."

Even if Big D is arrogant, he's not so stupid as to be blind to the situation. If he were to ruin his foundation for a newly opened courier store, then Big D would be truly finished.

Now, Chuiji could finally relax completely.

After saying that, Big D got up and walked out. He didn't want to stay there for another second, feeling like a clown.

Chick hurriedly chased after him, calling out, "Big D, Big D..."

Big D flung Chick away, walked into the stairwell, and kicked the wall repeatedly to vent his frustration.

Blowing Chicken ran over to persuade him, "Big D, forget it! What kind of courier shop is this? We and Lian Sheng are just not meant to be here, our horoscopes don't match! Last time, Long Gen's Heji Express also went bankrupt right after opening. It's a clash of fates, we can't force it!"

Big D shoved Chuiji aside and cursed as he vented his anger: "Damn it! You're a piece of trash! All you do is give in!"

Then he turned around and slapped the wall hard: "Next time, I must be the leader!"

Once he takes the top position, he won't be like the guy who couldn't command others. At that time, all the Wo Shing Wo members will listen to him, and he won't be in such a sorry state as he was this time!

……

Inside the meeting room, many people wore gloating smiles as they watched Chicken and Big D leave.

The crow laughed out loud, "Tch, everyone says this Big D is awesome, I thought he was something special!"

"crow!"

The camel glared at him, then laughed at the crowd, "My little brother, whom I just brought back from the Netherlands, doesn't know any rules~"

"I heard your little brother is pretty tough. He chased Big D like a stray dog ​​last night!"

Jiang Tiansheng smiled broadly, clearly in a good mood. After all, Liansheng Express was the most direct threat to him, and now that they were shut down, he could finally relax.

Ye Dongsheng was fairly satisfied with the outcome. As an industry association, this was the extent of the penalties they could impose. Fines and the like were administrative penalties under the jurisdiction of government departments, not the association's, and Ye Dongsheng didn't want to cross that line. The punishment was minor; the key was to make an example of them, establish the association's authority, and let the entire industry know that the association's position was not to be challenged and its rules must be obeyed!

Although Big D has left, the meeting is still going on today.

Ye Dongsheng then said, "I hope everyone will remember the negative example of Liansheng Express. The association is determined to eliminate such behavior that harms the industry!"

Seeing that everyone at the table responded, Ye Dongsheng continued:
"Alright, let's move on to the next topic! As I mentioned at the last meeting, there is still a vacancy for the vice president position, and two candidates are vying for it. Let's start the vote today!"

Upon hearing this, both Camel and Ni Yongxiao's eyes lit up, clearly indicating that they were determined to obtain the position.

"This vote adheres to the principles of openness and fairness... The candidates are Ni Yongxiao and Luo Bingrun. You may vote or abstain. In case of a tie, a new vote will be held."

Okay, let's begin the vote. Please raise your hand if you support Mr. Ni Yongxiao for the position of Vice President.

Camel and Ni Yongxiao both looked towards the table. There were 10 people at the table. Excluding the two of them who could not vote, there were 8 people left.

Instantly, half of them raised their hands.

Camel glared at two of them; they were from two small guilds' courier companies. Crow immediately pointed and yelled, "Hey, you guys want to die?! Are you blind not to vote for my boss?!"

Ni Yongxiao immediately said, "President Ye, shouldn't we just disqualify them for this kind of intimidation of voters?"

"Crow! Shut up!"

The camel stretched out its hand, then looked at the group and asked, "What benefits did Ah-Xiao give you?"

The two men chuckled awkwardly: "Boss Luo, Mr. Ni is a high-achieving student who studied abroad. He's been through a lot, so we're completely convinced by his qualifications. It's also for the good of the association!"

Camel snorted coldly, thinking that it must be because Ni Yongxiao had given him enough benefits!
Ni Yongxiao could be said to have the victory in his grasp at this moment. Of the eight people, he had already won half of them, and another person had agreed to abstain and choose not to help either side.

In other words, there are at most three people left who can vote for the camel.

However, Ni Yongxiao did not smile, because among these three people were Ye Dongsheng and Jiang Tiansheng, the president and vice president.

Jiang Tiansheng didn't care, but the fact that Ye Dongsheng, the chairman, didn't support him made him feel uneasy.

"Mr. Ni Yongxiao, 4 votes!"

After the vote count for Ni Yongxiao was finalized:

"Next, please raise your hand if you support Mr. Luo Bingrun to serve as vice president."

Jiang Tiansheng was the first to raise his hand, and then another person at the table followed suit. When Crow saw that one person was still standing, he asked, "Hey, why aren't you raising your hand?"

The man shrugged and said, "I don't know who to choose, and I don't want to offend either of you, so I'm abstaining!"

Ni Yongxiao smiled, now he was basically guaranteed to be invincible.

At this moment, everyone looked at Ye Dongsheng, the chairman.

Ye Dongsheng glanced at Ni Yongxiao, then at the camel, and then raised his hand with a smile: "I support Mr. Luo Bingrun!"

He then explained, "Mr. Luo Bingrun is very experienced and has spared no effort in maintaining the market environment, which the association has seen!"

Upon hearing this, the camel immediately smiled. Ye Dongsheng, as the chairman, had two votes per person!
The vote counter then announced, "Mr. Luo Bingrun, 4 votes!"

"Both sides, present your ballots, and vote again!"

Immediately, a murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd around the table:
"Wow, it's a tie!"

"What the heck! A tie!"

Ye Dongsheng tapped the table to quiet everyone down:

"Alright, let's vote again! This time, vote for Luo Bingrun first. Raise your hand if you support him!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand again, and then Jiang Tiansheng and another person also raised their hands.

This made Ni Yongxiao frown. Wouldn't that mean a tie again?

But just then, the person who had abstained also raised his hand!

Ni Yongxiao could no longer remain calm: "Didn't you abstain?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ni, I just withdrew, but now I trust Chairman Ye's decision!"

With this, the camel received 5 votes, which is more than half!
Seeing this, two more people immediately raised their hands: "We also believe in Chairman Ye's decision!"

At the same time, they gave Ni Yongxiao an apologetic smile, saying that the overall situation was difficult to change at this point, and it would be useless for them to vote for him!
Ni Yongxiao crossed his arms, trying to suppress his anger and frustration, then forced a smile and said to Camel, "Brother Camel, congratulations!"

Camel burst into laughter this time, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Ah Xiao, you flatter me!"

Then he stood up: "Thank you all for voting for me, Camel. I will definitely..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Dongsheng and said, "I will definitely do my job as vice president under Chairman Ye's leadership and do my best for the development of the express delivery industry in Hong Kong!"

Ye Dongsheng nodded, smiled, and clapped. "That old Camel still knows how to behave!"
A burst of applause erupted in the meeting room.

Then Ye Dongsheng glanced at Ni Yongxiao, who had regained his peaceful smile, and thought to himself that this guy's self-control was really strong. He was so close to succeeding but failed, yet he could still immediately congratulate his opponent.

His reason for supporting Camel was naturally because people like Ni Yongxiao were more difficult to deal with.

After all, both Jiang Tiansheng and Camel were clearly underworld figures and gang leaders, and were registered with the police.

But Ni Yongxiao was different. This guy was completely innocent and had been controlling the Ni family's forces from behind the scenes all along, and the Hong Kong police had no way to deal with him.

Judging from Ni Yongxiao's ambitions, his goal is definitely not something that can be satisfied by being merely a vice president; he is most likely eyeing the president's seat.

Moreover, this guy is more cunning than a camel. If he really comes up here, who knows what tricks he'll play on me!
Didn't you see that four people voted for Ni Yongxiao just now? If you include him, that would make up half of the association!

If we really let him take the position, wouldn't that be letting him grow too powerful?

This situation must not be allowed to happen; it must be dealt with!

Of course, Ye Dongsheng would not take the initiative to make a move.

Jiang Tiansheng also saw this situation and certainly wouldn't want Ni Yongxiao to become too powerful.

This election has created rifts within the association. Do you think those who didn't vote for Camel will hold a grudge?

When the camel finds an opportunity to retaliate against them, Jiang Tiansheng might secretly lend a hand.

Ultimately, these people will have no choice but to come to him, the chairman, for help. When he intervenes and upholds justice, he will naturally be able to win over more people!

In short, his current plan is to give Camel a hand, letting Camel deal with Ni Yongxiao. He wants to muddy the waters so that he, as the chairman, can sit back and enjoy the benefits!
