Hong Kong Movie: At the beginning, Big Boss B asked me to draw the death lottery

Chapter 123: Back then, Lee Hysan was shot in the back in Macau. Has your Lee family forgotten so quickly?

The following day, at the Regal Hotel in Causeway Bay.

In a meeting room on the seventh floor, a middle-aged man in a suit was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"Mr. Li, Miss Tang Judy from Washington is downstairs."

A young foreign assistant walked up to the middle-aged man and whispered a reminder.

The middle-aged man put down the newspaper in his hand and put his legs down from where he had crossed them.

"What about the dragon head of Wo Luen Shing?"

"You're here too. Shall we prepare some tea?"

"No need, please let them come up first!"

The person who met with Ho Yiu-chung and Wah Shing Properties was none other than Lee Chi-kai, the third-generation grandson of Lee Hysan and the executive vice president of Hysan Development.

Shortly after, Ho Yiu-chung and Tong Judy went upstairs and entered the reception room.

"Mr. Li!"

Judy Tang was dressed in dazzling jewelry this time, and Li Zhikai also got up to greet her and invited her to sit down on the sofa.

After greeting Tang Judy, Li Zhikai's gaze immediately fell on He Yaozong.

He Yaozong remained silent, took out a cigarette and lit it as if no one else was around.

"This is... the newly crowned leader of Wo Shing Pharma?"

"That's right!"

After He Yaozong gave a cold reply, Li Zhikai gave up the idea of ​​going over to shake hands with him.

He simply sat down, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He began, “Ever since I graduated from university, my family has arranged for me to develop my career in Australia. In the past ten years or so, I have returned to Hong Kong Island no more than twice.”

Looking back several decades, our Li family was a major client of the He family.

"I heard you used to work as a valet parking attendant in Causeway Bay. What, now that you've got some influence, you're thinking of blocking the Li family's path to wealth?"

The Lee family is a long-established wealthy family in Hong Kong Island, and in the past, they supported members of the On Lok family to set up a soft drink factory in To Kwa Wan.

Having promoted countless powerful figures in triads over the decades, Li Zhikai naturally felt a sense of superiority when dealing with He Yaozong.

At present, Li Zhikai only regards Huasheng Real Estate as the financial backer of Heliansheng, so his words are more of a warning.

After all, in the eyes of the Li family, Huasheng Real Estate was not even worthy of being mentioned in the public eye.

He Yaozong flicked the ash from his cigarette and glanced coldly at Li Zhikai.

"I have also heard that your grandfather wanted to sell opium in Macau, but he was shot by someone. Your grandmother spoke up on behalf of the family and never set foot in Macau again for the rest of her life."

It seems so much time has passed that you've all forgotten about these things.

"you……"

Li Zhikai was speechless for a moment. He never expected that the newly appointed leader of Wo Luen Shing would have such a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the world of martial arts and chivalry) and rough-and-tumble spirit!

I never expected him to expose such a weakness in front of me!

Seeing this, Tang Judy quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Mr. Li, we're here today to discuss business."

Let's not waste any more time on other things and get straight to business!

"it is good!"

After easing the awkwardness by taking the steps, Li Zhikai offered himself some words of comfort.

Getting into a fight with gangsters is really beneath one's dignity.

He cleared his throat and then spoke.

"Judy Tong, in Kowloon Walled City, there are now three companies involved: Hysan Development, Henderson Land Development, and China Resources Land."

I won't say more. I trust you can judge for yourself that your Huasheng Real Estate is no match for the combined forces of Hysan Development and Henderson Land Development.

I'm going to offer you a deal: you'll transfer the land you acquired, and Hysan Development and Henderson Land Development will join forces to allocate a plot of land in the New Territories as compensation.

Your withdrawal from the competition in Kowloon Walled City will benefit everyone.

Tang Judy couldn't help but feel displeased. Was this some kind of negotiation?
Can the land in the New Territories compare to that in Kowloon Walled City?
Hysan Development directly presented its terms, forcing Huasheng Real Estate to agree.

In response, Tang Judy could only glance at He Yaozong before speaking.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, the land in Kowloon Walled City is not owned by my Huasheng Real Estate alone."

Even if I agree, you'll still have to ask Mr. He from Hengyao Real Estate first!

Li Zhikai frowned, then answered.

"I just don't understand why Miss Judy Tom would choose a gangster as a partner."

Yesterday I kindly invited you over to negotiate, but last night he bribed Po Leung Kuk people to hold some kind of press conference at Lok Fu Estate!

That's not all. This morning I received news that Heng Yiu Properties is actually competing with Hysan Development for household registration rights in Yuen Long!

As he spoke, Li Zhikai's voice began to turn cold.

“Miss Tang Judy, the price I quoted you could have been a little higher.”

However, can I consider what happened in Yuen Long as a declaration of war by your Wah Shing Properties against our Li Ka-shing?

Tang Judy was taken aback, then looked at He Yaozong.

He Yaozong did not answer Tang Judy, but looked at Li Zhikai and spoke.

"This land can be given to anyone, but not to your Li family!"

Li Zhikai couldn't help but sneer: "Then you can prepare to watch the area around Kowloon Walled City become resettlement housing estates for Yuen Long villagers!"

"No problem!"

He Yaozong, a cigarette dangling from his lips, had a fierce look on his face.

“I will fully support you in building resettlement housing estates and public parks in Kowloon Walled City.”

Once the entire walled city is demolished, I'll build a row of public spaces and two garbage disposal centers there!

This is our way of doing our part for the people of Hong Kong Island!

Li Zhikai was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by He Yaozong's words.

With the demolition of Kowloon Walled City imminent, and especially given the booming property market in Hong Kong and Kowloon, this place is an extremely valuable and auspicious location.

Hysan Development and Henderson Land Development's plan to build public housing in the Walled City is a pretense; their real intention is to target Wah Shing Properties!

After all, they have the capital to fight a long-term commercial war. Since it's just public housing, if Wah Shing Properties can't hold on any longer, they can just take a piece of land in Yuen Long, demolish it, and rebuild a housing estate.

The land in Kowloon Walled City is absolutely worth the investment!

But if someone actually builds public toilets and a garbage disposal center there, this land will be truly wasted!

"Miss Judy Tom, is this also your intention?"

Looking at He Yaozong and then at Tang Zhudi, Li Zhikai gritted his teeth and asked.

Tang Judy was also undecided for a moment. She was now in a dilemma and never expected He Yaozong to make such a decision.

For her, the best outcome would be to join the camp of the two real estate tycoons and have the three of them cooperate to develop the land in the Walled City, so that Wah Shing Properties could also get a share of the profits.

Even the worst-case scenario is that they can sell the land in Kowloon Walled City for a good price, which would be a fair outcome considering how much time and effort Wah Shing Properties has invested in Kowloon Walled City.

But He Yaozong's words completely blocked all her escape routes!

Since she had signed a development contract with Hengyao Real Estate in advance, even if she was willing to sell the land now, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow through if He Yaozong disagreed!
"Ah Yao, don't get angry with Mr. Li!"

Left with no other choice, Tang Judy had to speak up and persuade He Yaozong.

He Yaozong shook his head with a cold smile.

"I'm not going to argue with him. Judy, if you think Huasheng Real Estate can't hold on, you can go back and discuss it with the board of directors. Then we can void the original contract and draft a new land transfer contract."

"I can spend the money to buy back all the land that Wah Shing Properties owns in Kowloon Walled City."

Tang Judy was speechless for a moment.

She suddenly had a feeling that she had been tricked by Ho Yiu-chung, as if Ho Yiu-chung had initially approached her for cooperation in order to acquire the land in Kowloon Walled City owned by Wah Shing Properties.

But she couldn't understand what He Yaozong could do with the land.
Can he withstand the pursuit of two real estate tycoons?
Or is it that someone has really lost their mind and wants to build public toilets and garbage disposal centers in Kowloon Walled City?
He Yaozong's repeated provocations finally enraged Li Zhikai.

He couldn't help but clap his hands, his tone somewhat sarcastic.

"Great, very good!"
Now any Tom, Dick, or Harry can jump onto the stage and compete with our Li family!

It seems today's negotiations are pointless, Miss Judy Tom. Don't blame us, Hysan Development, for not giving you face.

You can just sit back and wait until the land in Kowloon Walled City is completely ruined in your hands. I don't believe you have the resources to play games with us like that!

After saying that, Li Zhikai tugged at his suit collar and stood up.

"That concludes our casual conversation, Noah, see the guest out!"

……

As they walked out of the Lijing Hotel, Tang Judy chased after He Yaozong as he was about to get into his car.

"He Yaozong, what exactly are you up to?"

Standing beside the car door, He Yaozong turned around and smiled at Tang Judy.

"Judy, why are you so angry?"
I've explained everything clearly to you. If you feel you can't handle it, you can sell me the land in Kowloon Walled City.

"From the very beginning, you've been eyeing my land, haven't you?" "What kind of talk is that? Hysan Development and Henderson Land Development are ganging up on you. I'm paying you to stop the bleeding. How can that be considered eyeing your land?"

As he spoke, He Yaozong patted Tang Judy on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"As you just saw, the Li family has no intention of talking to you at all. They're forcing us to do things against our will. They want to exchange a few pieces of dilapidated land in the New Territories for our land in the Walled City. Do they have any sincerity?"

Tang Judy was speechless for a long time.

But then He Yaozong continued.

"Alright, I won't drag my friends down with me."

If you feel you can't explain this to the board of directors, then draft a contract to transfer the land to me at the original price.

If I can handle it, we can discuss collaborative development later.

If I can't hold on, then I guess I'm just unlucky!

Tang Judy glared at He Yaozong.

"The land price, plus all the bribes I made, cost me over 200 million. Do you have that much money?"

"Then let's pay in installments. If I can't come up with that much money, I'll just give you this land."

You can then use that to negotiate with those two real estate tycoons; you won't lose out in the end!

He Yaozong's tone also became somewhat displeased.

After much deliberation, Tommy Judy still couldn't make up her mind.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Go back first. Let me discuss this with the board members. I'll call you later and give you an answer!"

"Then we'll wait for news from Judy."

He Yaozong snapped his fingers and then got into the car.

Seeing his unrestrained and reckless demeanor, Tang Judy couldn't help but wonder if this guy really had some trump card up his sleeve.

He doesn't seem worried at all?
After passing through the Hung Hom Tunnel, instead of returning to Sham Shui Po, the car drove all the way to Tsuen Wan.

Big D called this morning, and the Li family's actions were just as swift as his.

Back when Hengyao Real Estate was discussing the development of Dingquan, Lijia had already sent people from the Number Gang to carry out their work, refusing legal intervention and forcibly seizing the Dingquan houses that were among the first to be transferred.

If they succeed in forcibly seizing the Dingwu houses, these Dingwu houses will become holdouts in Baolefang.

The collaborative development plan for Bao Le Fang is once again facing obstacles, creating a situation similar to his role in Kowloon Walled City.

Inside Big D's villa in Tsuen Wan.

A thin old man sat in the living room with a worried look on his face, occasionally whispering something to Big D.

“Our Baolefang Housing Committee has already held a meeting, and those residents who were trapped are now extremely regretful.”

"If the neighbors had known Mr. He was coming to discuss cooperative development, they wouldn't have sold Ding Quan to the Li family."

Big D indeed leaned lazily against the sofa and responded nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, our Hengyao Real Estate boss has also said that if Ding Quan is taken away, we will sue him."

Hong Kong Island has laws that state rights cannot be bought or sold.

Let those lawyers worry about it; it'll just mean paying a few more fines. Hengyao Real Estate will take care of that for you.

This old man is Chen Baosheng, the chairman of the Baolefang Housing Committee.

Upon hearing Big D's reply, he simply shook his head and sighed.

"Boss, your gang loves to talk about rules. The most important problem now is that people from Bao Le Fang have come to talk to us about the rules."

The gang has already entered the area and forcibly seized the houses. How dare we ordinary citizens stand up and confront them?

Anyone who dares to take this matter to court will likely lose their life!

Just as Big D was about to respond, Long Hair walked in from outside.

"Big D, the dragon head is coming."

Big D clapped his hands: "Great! I'm so tired of listening to him babbling on and on!"

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Baosheng and said, "Now find someone of sufficient standing to talk to you. Tell him all your troubles."

In short, we and Lian Sheng are absolutely not going to be fooled by the number gang.

"If you dare back down to the Number Gang, then it'll be us and Luen Shing coming after you!"

"Big D, who are you going to cause trouble for this time?"

As they were talking, He Yaozong appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Big D quickly got up.

"Chen Baosheng from the Baolefang Housing Committee has been here for half an hour."

They keep nagging about wanting to cooperate with us, but they don't have the guts to face the Number Gang.

"You should talk to him and make things clear then. Whether you're bringing people to negotiate with him at the same number, or just going to fight it out, just tell me what to do!"

After saying that, Big D glanced at Long Hair and roared loudly again.

"What the hell! The boss is here, don't you know to pour tea? Don't you have any manners?!"

He Yaozong didn't respond to Da D's comment, but instead sat down next to Chen Baosheng.

The old man quickly stood up and bowed to He Yaozong.

"Sir, don't be so formal, please sit down!"

He gestured for Chen Baosheng to sit down, and He Yaozong immediately asked a question.

"I heard that this morning, someone from the Number Gang threw Molotov cocktails at Dingwu near Baolefang."

He said he would set the house on fire if the transfer agreement wasn't signed quickly, is that true?

"That's right, boss!"

"Do you know which group of people this number was created for?"

"Yi Zi-hei, the bearded man, was made by Greyhound!"

Greyhound? Never even heard of it.

He Yaozong shook his head, then asked, "Do you know where this greyhound finds its food?"

"Greyhound is from the Big Circle Children's Gang. He just turned eighteen last year and was recruited from Guangzhou by Bearded Yong to work for him."

This man is ruthless and insane. He specializes in land acquisition and river sand monopoly businesses for the Number Gang in the Eighteen Townships area.

I don't know exactly where they live..."

It's unclear whether the old man was afraid to tell the truth or genuinely didn't know where the greyhound was.

In short, once he knew the name, He Yaozong lost interest in asking any further questions.

Hiring juvenile delinquents to do things has always been a common tactic of the Hong Kong Island number gangs.

Young men who haven't even grown up yet are fearless and only think about currying favor, never considering the consequences of their actions.

Give them a few hundred dollars, and they'll stab someone without batting an eye.

Even if they are taken to court, they will only stay in the boys' home for a period of time.

After being released, these people regarded their time in the boys' home as a great honor, and their behavior became even more ruthless.

These reckless reserve gangsters are perfect for these violent expropriation jobs.

He Yaozong pondered for a moment, then, without waiting for the long-haired man to bring the tea, he stood up and looked at Big D.

"Big D, you don't need to worry about the Baolefang matter."

The number is used by juvenile delinquents; your interference in Tsuen Wan is bound to cause trouble!

"A bunch of greenhorns who haven't even grown their hair yet, do you think I'd be afraid of them?"

He Yaozong couldn't help but lower his voice.

"It's not about whether you're scared or not, I just have a feeling there's something fishy going on here!"
I hope you understand the situation. You are now not only a district leader at Lian Sheng, but also a senior executive at Heng Yao Real Estate!

Big D shrugged: "Then who should handle this? We can't just stand by and watch the number gang ruin our business!"

"I have my own arrangements."

He Yaozong didn't say much, but simply beckoned to Chen Luojun, who was accompanying him, and took out his mobile phone.

Then he picked up the phone, dialed a number, and walked outside.

Sham Shui Po, Yau Shing Fresh Food Warehouse.

Dongguan boy was sitting on a counter, holding a popsicle in one hand and directing the workers who were loading and unloading fresh and frozen goods in and out of the warehouse with the other.

Ring ring ring——

The phone on the table rang, and Dongguan Boy took a bite of his popsicle and pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

"Where are you now, Dongguan boy?"

Upon hearing He Yaozong's voice, Dongguan Boy quickly spat out the popsicle in his mouth, gripped the phone tightly, and jumped off the counter.

"Oh, it's the head office. I'm sorting goods in the warehouse. Is there anything I can tell you?"

"Yes, stop what you're doing right now and come to He Tai Tea House. I have something important to tell you!"
