Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 125 "125" Kidnapping a Tycoon
If Lin Yao remembered correctly, the judge and his gang of ruthless thugs' goal in coming to Hong Kong this time was not as simple as robbing a casino.

Their real target is Mr. Zheng from one of the four major families.

After all, these are the wealthiest people in the world!
Lin Yao thought for a moment and then directly called Su Xingbai over.

"Mike, keep an eye on this judge for me. I need to know his every move!" Lin Yao said directly to Su Xingbo.

Su Xingbo nodded: "No problem, boss. As long as these guys are still in Hong Kong, they will definitely not escape my grasp!"

After following Lin Yao, Su Xingbai gradually established an intelligence network exclusively for Lin Yao.

Although he was usually just a marginal member of some gangs, he would gather news for Lin Yao.

But supporting these marginalized people doesn't cost much money, but they are incredibly well-informed; they can detect any disturbance.

Lin Yao nodded: "You did a good job!"

"Thank you, boss. Although our intelligence is accurate, it's hard to tell if it's true or false. I think for the sake of accuracy, we should add more people specifically to distinguish the truth from falsehood in this information!" Su Xingbo said to Lin Yao after thinking for a moment.

Lin Yao smiled and said, "You've thought this through very well. How much money do you need?"

Su Xingbai said somewhat embarrassedly, "I estimate the budget will increase by more than 100,000 yuan."

Lin Yao could afford this amount of money, so he directly said to Su Xingbai, "Go ahead and do it!"

"By the way, Mike, I remember your girlfriend is a lawyer, right?"

Su Xingbai nodded: "That's right, is there anything you need, boss?"

"I'm planning to have Dong Weiguo organize a legal team to fight a lawsuit. Since we're on the same side, why don't you have your girlfriend come and help us out too?" Lin Yao said directly.

Sometimes, winning over subordinates doesn't necessarily require winning over the person themselves.

Starting with the people around them is also a good approach.

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, Su Xingbo immediately became happy: "No problem, boss, I'll have Keke contact Attorney Dong Weiguo right away!"

Lin Yao smiled as he watched Su Xingbai's loyalty surge once again.

If he could subdue such an unruly guy, he didn't believe that the undercover agents sent by Huang Zhicheng were so determined.

Lin Yao will definitely give Huang Zhicheng a big surprise then.

……

With Dong Weiguo's matter resolved, Li Changjiang returned to Lin Yao's side.

Upon learning that Broken Tooth Giant would no longer cause him trouble, Dong Weiguo took the initiative to find Lin Yao to thank him.

"Boss, thank you so much this time!" Dong Weiguo said, still feeling a bit shaken.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "It's best to avoid cases involving powerful figures in the underworld in the future; it's easy to lose your entire fortune!"

Dong Weiguo nodded in deep agreement.

"Alright, tell me about the case I asked you to solve!" Lin Yao said directly to Dong Weiguo.

Dong Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "Boss, that depends on what you plan to do."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yao asked, frowning.

Dong Weiguo stated directly, "I think it's basically impossible to overturn this case, because too many forces are involved. Mr. Huo Zhaotang, who framed them, has close ties with the English, and high-ranking police officers are also involved! No one will allow this case to be overturned!"

"But if the boss just wants to get them out of trouble, I think there shouldn't be a problem!"

Lin Yao nodded: "That's exactly what I mean, let's get them out first! As for what happens next, I'll take care of that."

Dong Weiguo nodded and said, "However, this matter is not simple. I estimate that a legal team will need to be assembled, and it would be best if you, boss, did not show your face."

"Why?" Lin Yao asked, somewhat puzzled.

Dong Weiguo said with a smile, "This is too targeted. If I remember correctly, you had a conflict with the police before, right? Brother Huang told me about it!"

“If you join in, the police will definitely know what you’re trying to do, and they’ll definitely keep pressing Qiu Gang’ao and his team of officers until they give up!”

Lin Yao nodded: "You're a professional, so I'll listen to you! By the way, I have a brother's girlfriend who's also a top lawyer, but she's a bit inexperienced. You should be able to mentor her, right?"

Dong Weiguo smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. It's just a matter of a word from you, boss!"

After the matter was settled, Lin Yao had someone send Dong Weiguo back.

Neither side brought up the matter of money, but Lin Yao was certain he wouldn't let Dong Weiguo suffer a loss.

There's only one chance to take advantage of someone's kindness, and Lin Yao isn't looking for a one-off deal; he wants a long-term legal advisor.

Given Dong Weiguo's litigious nature, there is no more suitable lawyer than him.

After seeing Dong Weiguo off, Jimmy returned to Lin Yao and said, "Yao, a tough guy has recently come to Yau Ma Tei!"

"Who is it?" Lin Yao asked curiously.

“Ting Hau-hai of the Chung Ching Society!” Jimmy said with a laugh, “Those guys from the Chung Ching Society are growing really fast! They’re a force to be reckoned with now, and I heard they’ve even extended their reach into Yau Ma Tei!” Lin Yao suddenly remembered, “Oh, it’s those five crabs! What’s the attitude of the other triads?”

"I really resent their interference in Yau Ma Tei, but I'm also quite wary of them!" Jimmy shook his head and said, "Letting them into Yau Ma Tei would indeed be quite troublesome. Ah Yao, should we strike first?"

Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "There's no need for that. These crabs won't be jumping around for long!"

Jimmy's words reminded Lin Yao of the stock market.

I don't know if there's a Great Miracle Day in this timeline, but if there is, this would be a good opportunity.

This could be a great opportunity to double your net worth.

Jimmy asked curiously, "Are we just going to leave them alone?"

"As long as they don't clash with us, we don't need to worry about them for now. I'll have people keep an eye on them later!" Lin Yao said directly.

Jimmy nodded: "I understand!"

……

A few days later, Lin Yao was reviewing reports at his company.

The growth of Jianghu magazine's client base has begun to slow down.

Even though Lin Yao's subsequent novel, "The Four Great Constables," was quite excellent, it couldn't attract many new talents.

The magazine "Jianghu" successfully dethroned a fashion magazine from its position as the top-selling magazine.

It has become the best-selling magazine in Hong Kong.

To attract more people to buy the magazine, Lin Yao added many new columns.

Besides bringing in several authors, the results haven't been very good.

Aside from gossip, food, and martial arts novels, readers aren't very interested in the other sections.

When Yang Siwen reported to Lin Yao, he specifically mentioned this point: "Boss, I think these programs are indeed unnecessary. Why don't we just cut them out!"

Lin Yao nodded: "We're all feeling our way across the river by feeling for stones. Since the trial and error hasn't yielded good results, let's just cut it!"

Yang Siwen suddenly said, "But boss, this dirty jokes segment is quite popular, this..."

Lin Yao chuckled and said, "There are plenty of lewd people in Hong Kong, so naturally many people like it! Keep this column, but be careful with the layout and don't let it overshadow the main content!"

Yang Siwen nodded: "I understand!"

"By the way, Siwen, what do you think about me buying another newspaper?" Lin Yao asked directly, "Magazine sales have already reached their peak!"

Yang Siwen frowned and said, "Wouldn't that mean we have to expand the scale again?"

Lin Yao laughed and said, "I've said before that I want to become a media tycoon. One magazine alone can't satisfy my appetite. Besides, I used to be poor, so I was very careful with every step of my planning. There's no need for that now!"

Lin Yao's construction company and smuggling were both very profitable, so Lin Yao felt there was no need to keep a low profile.

Yang Siwen thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and find out what's going on first, see if any newspapers are poorly managed, and it would be best to acquire them!"

Lin Yao nodded: "That's what I'm thinking too. When the time is right, we'll list both companies on the stock exchange at the same time, and I'm going to establish Jianghu Media Group!"

Hearing Lin Yao's ambitious aspirations, Yang Siwen was also somewhat excited.

It's only been two years since I followed Lin Yao to get to where I am now.

If this momentum continues, Yang Siwen believes that his company will eventually surpass other media companies in Hong Kong.

Yang Siwen left in high spirits, and soon Su Xingbai ran in.

"Boss, Coco has received an invitation from Attorney Dong Weiguo. Thank you so much!" Su Xingbo said sincerely.

"No problem, just do your job well!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "By the way, how's it going with the judge?"

Su Xingbai sneered: "As expected, they did intend to take action against Mr. Zheng, but they recently ran into that guy Li Ying and had a street fight! One of their three henchmen, Chicken Essence, was beaten to death on the spot!"

"We recently caught a car thief, a kid I think named Boy. He's been scouting around Mr. Zheng's company with them, so they'll obviously be making a move soon!"

Lin Yao frowned. If things were to happen at Mr. Zheng's company, it seemed that he wouldn't be able to get involved.

With the intelligence of such a wealthy person, if he rashly tries to win over judges and other such people, he might be suspected of having ulterior motives.

He had to create an opportunity to "accidentally" get involved in the robbery.

In this way, their security team can successfully make an appearance in front of these wealthy people.

So Lin Yao dialed Jimmy's number and inquired whether his construction company had any business dealings with New World Property Company.

You wouldn't know unless you asked, and what you found was a pleasant surprise.

Jimmy told Lin Yao that his construction company had undertaken several projects for New World Development.

In this way, Lin Yao would be confident in causing trouble!
