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

Chapter 165: With so many benefits offered, what are the conditions?

"Pasong, please tell Mr. Yan that I, Jiang Tianyang, am very grateful to him for helping me with this matter."

I'll get these things sorted out as soon as possible; I guarantee it with all my savings in Thailand!

Jiang Tianyang immediately gave instructions over the phone: no matter what, the priority should be to stabilize his ally in Thailand.

Unexpectedly, Pason responded, "Mr. Jiang, why don't you go and talk to Mr. Yan yourself? I can't pass on the message to him right now."

He...he's preparing to fly to Hong Kong Island to talk to you in person!

"so?"

Jiang Tianyang was stunned for a moment, then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tianyang looked at Jiang Tiansheng sitting next to him again.

He sighed and said, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for over ten years. I finally came back to help you this time, but you've really gotten me into trouble!"

Jiang Tiansheng answered with some emotion.

"Brothers are brothers, even if we break bones, the tendons are still connected."

"Heavenly upbringing," my father often told us this phrase when he was alive. Back then, we were all young and ignorant, which led to so many years of sibling rivalry.

Now that you're willing to come back and help me, I've figured everything out.

When I have time, I'll go to the mainland to find out more about the situation and try my best to help you transfer your assets from Thailand.

Jiang Tianyang smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's too late. The matter of Na Hong is the most urgent."

I need to find a way to resolve this quickly, otherwise the Chinese in Bangkok will utterly destroy the backbone of the Chiang family!

……

The following morning, just as Pasong had said, Yan Runli from Bangkok's Chinatown got off the plane and immediately drove to the East Mid-Levels villa area.

Then, led by a servant of the Jiang family, they found Jiang Tianyang, who had just gotten up, directly in a tea room on the second floor of the villa.

"Damn it! Jiang Tianyang, what the hell are you up to?"

You asked me to find out about Nahong, why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were planning to kidnap him!

Upon seeing Jiang Tianyang, Yan Runli's face immediately contorted with rage. He strode forward, grabbed Jiang Tianyang by the collar, and loudly questioned him.

"Mr. Yan, please calm down!"

"What nonsense about calming down! Na Hong's cronies are here with their men to investigate me!"
Let me tell you, Jiang Tianyang, do you know how hard I lived before I started my business in Thailand?
If I'm ruined because of this, you'll be thrown into the Chao Phraya River to feed the crocodiles too!

As Yan Runli spoke, he pushed Jiang Tianyang away and then pulled up a chair to sit down.

His face still contorted with anger, he glared fiercely at Jiang Tianyang again.

"Damn it, is this how the Jiang family treats its guests?"

Since I came in, not a single person has poured me a cup of tea!

"Mr. Yan, please calm down. With such an honored guest, it is only natural for me, the host, to personally serve tea."

No sooner had Yan Runli finished speaking than Jiang Tiansheng's voice came from outside the tea room.

Jiang Tiansheng walked in, holding a small bamboo tube jar in his hand, and nodded to Yan Runli with a smile.

Yan Runli stood up somewhat awkwardly, and the anger on his face gradually faded.

He looked at Jiang Tianyang with some suspicion and asked, "Who is this...?"

“This is my elder brother, Chiang Tin-sang, the head of the Hung Hing Society.”

"It's Mr. Jiang! Hello, hello!"

Yan Runli immediately put on a smile and warmly extended both hands to Jiang Tiansheng, firmly grasping Jiang Tiansheng's right hand.

This enthusiastic demeanor was a stark contrast to the person who had burst into a tirade of abuse upon entering the room.

Helpless, Jiang Tiansheng handed the bamboo pot to Jiang Tianyang, indicating that he should make tea.

Then, pulling Yan Runli to sit down, Jiang Tiansheng smiled and started a conversation.

"Mr. Yan, my brother has mentioned you before. You are the most respected senior figure in Bangkok's Chinatown."

I've been meaning to visit you for a long time, but I never expected Mr. Yan to grace my humble abode with his presence. It truly honors my humble abode!

Yan Runli simply waved his hand: "Forget it, Mr. Jiang. Bangkok can't compare to Hong Kong. It's all decided by the Thais!"

Once I leave Chinatown, I'm nothing.

"I should have advised my dad to stay in Hong Kong back then! Why the hell did he have to go to Thailand!"

Yan Runli was a straightforward person. After exchanging pleasantries with Jiang Tiansheng, he directly asked the question that concerned him most.

"Mr. Jiang, let's not beat around the bush. I believe you know why I came to Hong Kong Island to see your brother this time."

I don't want to ask you why you kidnapped Na Hong. I just want to ask you one question: can you get any evidence that Na Hong's people colluded with Hong Wengang?

Without this evidence to blackmail Nahong, the Thai police will uncover our entire history in just two days!

Jiang Tianyang had already rinsed and steeped the Da Hong Pao tea that Jiang Tiansheng had brought three times, and brewed a pot of fine tea for Yan Runli.

Yan Runli took a small sip of tea, keeping his eyes fixed on Jiang Tiansheng as he drank, hoping for a prompt reply.

Jiang Tiansheng had just returned from a vacation in Europe and had no idea about these things.

Therefore, Jiang Tiansheng's gaze fell on Jiang Tianyang.

"Mr. Yan, the matter is under investigation, and we believe we will have results soon."

"So the investigation hasn't been completed yet?"
Your mother...

Yan Runli was about to utter a word of traditional Chinese poetry when he suddenly remembered that Jiang Tiansheng, who was sitting next to him, was Jiang Tianyang's biological brother. He immediately swallowed the curse word back down.

He put down his teacup and immediately spoke.

"Jiang Tianyang, why don't you just buy all my properties in Bangkok?"

"What does Mr. Yan mean by this?"

"What do you mean? I feel like I can't stay in Thailand any longer!"
Do you know the consequences of a Chinese person kidnapping a Thai mayor? Is your head filled with mush?!

Jiang Tianyang's eyelids drooped.

“Mr. Yan, Nahong is a native-born Thai mayor, so he can openly dig out the hearts of Chinese people for his own use.”
You rose to prominence in Chinatown by relying on a group of impoverished Chinese brothers. Shouldn't you see Nahong as an executioner who persecutes the Chinese?!

"you you you……"

Jiang Tianyang's words left Yan Runli speechless for a moment.

After a long pause, he finally let out a long sigh.

"I never would have guessed, Jiang Tianyang, that when you were in Bangkok you kept saying you only loved making money."

It's only been a short time since I returned to Hong Kong Island, yet my awareness has already reached such a high level, and I'm already talking to you about righteousness?

Now is not the time for you to reason with people; you should think about how to solve the problem!
The livelihoods of tens of thousands of Chinese people in Chinatown could be ruined by you!

Jiang Tianyang nodded.

"Mr. Yan, if you're not in such a hurry, I suggest you stay here and rest for a while."

I'm going to see someone in a bit; perhaps this person can help us resolve this trouble.

"You're meeting that guy named He Yaozong, right?"

"you know?"

"Nonsense! I don't know what the hell I'm doing in Hong Kong!"
"Jiang Tianyang, you don't actually think I came to Hong Kong Island just to see you, do you?"

……

As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window of Ho Yiu-chung's bedroom, he decided to go outside and stretch his muscles.

He's caused too much trouble lately, and in order to avoid implicating the gang leaders like Lung Gen and Chuen Po, he hasn't gone to Sham Shui Po to check the accounts for a long time.

The Freemasons have always had their accountants, with Su the advisor and Hui the cashier.

Although these two men were considered his confidants, he felt it was necessary to check the accounts and see where they had spent the money.

The villa gate was opened by two armed security guards. Just as He Yaozong's Mercedes was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a Bentley parked on the road outside the villa.

A blond, blue-eyed middle-aged foreigner was sitting on a small stool next to the car, leisurely smoking.

Good morning, Mr. He!

The newcomer spoke fluent Mandarin, and Ho Yiu-chung recognized him.

He was none other than the Provincial Administration Commissioner, Hod.

"My place has been quite lively these past few days. Is it possible that the Governor of Hong Kong will personally come to visit me in a few days?"

As He Yaozong got out of the car, he walked towards Huo De.

At the same time, the bodyguards of both groups began to prepare, their hands instinctively reaching for their gun belts.

Huo De smiled slightly: "Of course, I want to talk to Mr. He about something."

Why didn't you send someone in to report that you were discussing matters?

"Mr. He, disturbing others' sleep in so early in the morning is not a good habit."

Besides, I know you have a problem with us British. If I send someone to knock on your door, are you going to warn me that I'm trespassing on your private property? "The street you're sitting on right now is also my private property!"

He Yaozong lit a cigarette as he spoke: "So, what brings you here?"

"Oh, Mr. He, you might not believe it if I told you."

Regarding your assistance plan for impoverished residents of Hong Kong Island housing estates, the Governor, in conjunction with the Housing Department, already conducted a seminar on it.

We greatly admire your character and believe that your righteous act should be given greater recognition.

Therefore, the Governor intends for our Chief Secretary to take the lead in transforming your Housing Estate Relief Fund into a formal municipal body, with you, Ho Yiu-chung, still in charge.

He Yaozong sneered: "Did I hear that right? You foreigners would admire my character?"

Upon hearing this, Huo De couldn't help but feel displeased: "Mr. He, it's not very polite to call someone a foreigner."

"Sorry, I'm just used to calling you that."

"Then I'd like to ask, if you want to transfer my housing estate relief association to a municipal body and still have me continue to be the head of this organization, don't you have any other conditions?"

"Of course there are conditions, but I can assure you that you have absolute power over personnel appointments and removals, as well as operational authority over this organization."

The Financial Secretary will allocate transition relief funds to this agency based on the actual situation.

If Mr. Ho is confident, even if it means that all the citizens of Hong Kong Island who are struggling to make ends meet are living in luxury homes of thousands of square feet, the Financial Secretary will still steadfastly apply for special subsidies for you.

Furthermore, we will have the president of the Hong Kong Island Chinese Business Association nominate you as a legislator. Mr. Ho can also subsequently join the Legislative Council, contributing his efforts to promoting professional rule of law in Hong Kong Island.

"With so many benefits, what are the conditions?"

Getting down to business, Hord immediately pulled a wet wipe from his pocket and then squeezed out the cigarette butt in the wipe.

Then, in fact, he said solemnly.

"The condition is that as long as the Financial Secretary allocates funds for Mr. He's project, Mr. He must carry out the project without hesitation."

I had previously learned that the resettlement project built for Kowloon Walled City residents in Lok Fuk Estate was not profitable no matter how you looked at it.

Mr. He clearly intends to do good deeds, so I suppose he won't refuse?

"Hord, are you taking me for a fool?"
What if I refuse your offer?

When confronted with He Yaozong's question, Huo De immediately stopped being polite.

"Then the Chief Secretary will investigate Hengyao Properties under your name on the grounds that you have disrupted the economic market of Hong Kong Island!"

Mr. Ho, do not attempt to incite the public to cause trouble again. We will not proceed with the resettlement project at Lok Fuk Estate. However, as long as Hong Kong Island remains under British control, we will not allow you to construct any building on any inch of land on Hong Kong Island!
Not even a public restroom!

Huo De had already thought it through very clearly: the housing market was a time bomb they had planted for Hong Kong Island.

If Ho Yiu-chung doesn't agree, then they'll be happy to sit back and watch the Hong Kong Island property market continue to rise, while those real estate tycoons conquer land everywhere.

If He Yaozong agrees, that would be wonderful.

Huo De was eager to see just how much wealth Ho Yiu-chung possessed that could rival Hong Kong's trillion-dollar property market!

To Hord's surprise, he didn't see any change in expression on the young man's face.

There was no anger, no helplessness, no joy.

Almost the instant Huo De finished speaking, He Yaozong nodded in agreement.

"Okay, from now on, save me a chair in the Legislative Council!"
Also, please tell David Wilson that we can notify the Financial Secretary now to allocate the subsidy funds to me.

I'll send the resettlement project proposal from Mount Davis to Sham Shui Po around noon. Your person in charge of reviewing it can come and pick it up!

"You...you're going to build a resettlement project at Moxing Ridge?"

"Otherwise what? Such a big golf course, who will be there to swing the clubs?"

As He Yaozong spoke, he turned around and glanced at Chen Luojun behind him.

Do you play golf?

"will not!"

"If you don't know, then learn!"

With that, He Yaozong turned around and got into his Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes-Benz drove off, leaving Huo De and his group standing there dumbfounded, heading straight down the mountain.

Arriving in Sham Shui Po and at the long-missed Wo Tai Tea House, Ho Yiu-chung couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth and familiarity.

After checking the accounts here, He Yaozong called Da D again and asked him to send over the pre-prepared Moxingling resettlement project plan.

At 8:50 a.m., Big D delivered the proposal and stayed to have morning tea with He Yaozong.

"Hey boss, what the hell are you doing?"
"Resettlement projects, built so luxuriously, how can we make a profit? There are so many poor people on Hong Kong Island, you can't help them all!"

After eating two char siu buns, Big D picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth and couldn't help but ask Ho Yiu-chung a question.

He Yaozong didn't even look up, still carefully drinking a bowl of pork liver porridge.

Why are you worrying so much? Have I ever shortchanged you by a single penny?

"That's not what I meant. I'm just helping you get started, and I'm afraid you'll go bankrupt!"

As he spoke, Big D crumpled the napkin in his hand into a ball and threw it into the trash can at his feet.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Hey, there's something I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

Last night, Li Zhaoji, the chairman of the Hong Kong Island Chamber of Commerce, came to see me and we talked about some things.

He told us at Hengyao Real Estate that it would be best not to take the lead in any land reclamation projects.

"The entire Hong Kong Island property market will suffer losses in the end..."

wow-

He Yaozong dropped the porridge spoon in his hand, looked up at Da D, and his eyes were so cold that Da D couldn't help but lower his head.

"What does he want from you?"

"He originally wanted to come to you, but he didn't have your contact information. He wanted to send someone to Bijia Mountain to schedule a time to meet you, but the security guards at your gate chased him away on the grounds that Mr. He refused to meet strangers."

So... so he had no choice but to come to me and ask me to relay his message..."

"Big D!"

He Yaozong spoke slowly and deliberately.

"I hope you remember what I said—mind your own business."

Earning your money honestly is more important than anything else!

Big D gave an awkward, silly laugh and immediately changed the subject.

"I understand, let's not talk about this anymore!"

Do you know what Long Gen did in Macau a while ago? He hooked up with a Russian girl at the Willys Hall and became completely infatuated with her.

Now he's brought that woman back to Hong Kong Island, and he's glued to that Russian girl all day long. Even when he plays mahjong with the neighbors, he makes sure that Russian girl sits on his lap!

At 10 a.m., after reviewing the proposal sent by Big D in his office at the He Tai Tea House, He Yaozong was just about to go downstairs to visit Long Gen and see which Russian girl could make the womanizing Long Gen so infatuated.

Suddenly, Xiwei went upstairs to announce that Jiang Tianyang had brought someone to pay a visit.

So He Yaozong sat back down and gestured to Xiwei to bring the person up.

"Mr. He! I've heard so much about you!"

Jiang Tianyang led Yan Runli inside. Before Jiang Tianyang could even greet him, Yan Runli grinned and stretched out his right hand to He Yaozong.

"Brother He, this is Yan Runli from Bangkok's Chinatown."

He was the one who helped us find the Nahong Sanatorium last time!

Jiang Tianyang stepped forward with a smile and explained to He Yaozong as follows.

He Yaozong nodded and then shook hands with Yan Runli.

"Mr. Yan, thank you for your great help. Please have a seat."

He Yaozong naturally knew the purpose of the two men's visit. After inviting Jiang Tianyang and Yan Runli to sit down, he spoke directly.

"I have been having people investigate Hong Wengang's case."

Don't worry, I won't let my friends who helped me take the blame for me.

I will deliver the evidence of Hong Wengang's collusion with Na Hong to you as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianyang felt much more at ease.

He knew that He Yaozong was not one to boast, and if he said he could resolve the matter quickly, then he definitely could.

Yan Runli nodded in agreement.

"Everyone knows that Mr. Ho has a lot of influence in Hong Kong, but we are just people who make a living in Thailand."

The relationship between Bangkok's Chinatown and Thai officials is already strained, Mr. He, please don't blame me for bothering you!

Upon hearing this, He Yaozong couldn't help but chuckle.

"Mr. Yan, you've come all the way from Thailand, so why don't you just say what you have to say?"

I'll definitely help you if I can; reciprocity is the foundation of friendship!
