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

Chapter 158 "158" Runs to Central to Collect Protection Money

The next day, at the Peninsula Hotel.

Lin Yao arrived early in the morning.

He also brought along his legal advisor, Dong Weiguo.

"Boss, you're really going all out!" Dong Weiguo said, looking at the contract in his hand with some surprise.

Lin Yao snorted and said, "It's already merciful of me to let these little devils return to Japan. Otherwise, I would have left them lying dead in the streets of Hong Kong."

Lin Yao had to use a lot of favors to reveal his true colors this time.

Leaving Raymond's side unmentioned, it's relatively easy to resolve.

However, we will only be able to find out the specifics of Zeng Guoshan's situation after Ma Zhiquan arrives.

And without even thinking about it, this condition is probably not low.

How could Lin Yao not make enough money off this little Japanese devil?

A moment later, Imamura Hiroji, looking timid and hesitant, finally came over.

He even bowed deeply to Lin Yao, saying, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Yao said calmly, "Don't bother with my traditional Japanese tricks. If apologies were enough, what would be the point of laws?"

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, Imamura Hiroji's lips twitched involuntarily.

This bastard has the nerve to talk to me about law?
This guy is the one who has absolutely no regard for the law.

Yamada Tsugio is lying in the hospital, and it's estimated that he'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Right now, they can only drink liquids!

However, Hiroji Imamura dared not show it at all; he just wanted to end it all as soon as possible and return to Japan.

As for taking revenge on Lin Yao, I don't even dare to think about it.

Who knows what other trouble might arise?
After sitting down, Imamura Hiroji saw Lin Yao push a contract towards him.

This is a security contract, but Hiroji Imamura thinks it looks more like protection money.

“Mr. Lin, this is…” Hiroji Imamura asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Yao said calmly, "Ensuring the safety of your Imamura Group and preventing a repeat of the incident where you were extorted by the grandpa and grandma should be a good thing for your Imamura Group!"

Imamura Hiroji was stunned. Wasn't this helping him?
However, Imamura Hiroji soon realized that something was wrong: the price of the security fees.

“Mr. Lin, a security fee of three million a year... isn’t that a bit too high?” Imamura Hiroji pondered. This price could hire two security teams to serve him, and there would still be some money left over.

Lin Yao glanced at Imamura Hiroji and said, "One part is to ensure the safety of your business, and the other part is to ensure your personal safety! Understand?"

Imamura Hiroji immediately looked miserable; he realized that Lin Yao was trying to extort protection money from him.

When have large corporations like theirs ever paid protection money to gangsters?

He has never handed over this thing, not even in Japan or Hong Kong.

However, whether or not to pay it now is not up to them.

Hiroji Imamura had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

After watching him sign the contract, Lin Yao pushed another contract towards him.

It concerns the acquisition of Imamura Newspapers, a subsidiary of the Imamura Group, specifically in the Hong Kong area.

Imamura Hiroji knew it wouldn't be that simple; today was the day he was going to suffer a huge loss.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yao had his eye on his newspaper business.

However, he didn't have any better options and said directly, "I can sell the Imamura Newspaper Group (Hong Kong) business to Mr. Lin, but not the one in Japan!"

Lin Yao scoffed: "Who wants your Japanese newspapers? What use would they be to me? Just hand over the Hong Kong ones, and I'll give you a reasonable price!"

Hiroji Imamura wanted to spit in Lam Yiu's face. Ten million Hong Kong dollars to buy such a big newspaper was no different from robbery, and he even said it was a reasonable price.

However, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Hiroji Imamura obediently signed the contract.

However, this had already pushed Imamura Hiroji to the limit. If he made any more excessive demands, the guy would probably drag him down with him to his death.

Therefore, Lin Yao made one last request: "The last request is very simple: you are not allowed to appear in Hong Kong again, otherwise, I cannot guarantee what kind of danger you will encounter!"

"After all, as you know, the security situation in Hong Kong hasn't been very good lately, especially around the West Kowloon Police Station!"

Imamura Hiroji breathed a sigh of relief; Lin Yao's condition was as good as not mentioning it at all.

He had no intention of ever coming back to this godforsaken place, Hong Kong, so he readily agreed.

Subsequently, the signing of security contracts and the transfer of the newspaper were all handled by their respective lawyers.

Lin Yao raised his glass to Imamura Hiroji and said, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation, Mr. Imamura. You can return to Japan after things are settled!"

Imamura Hiroji stood up, about to get up, but Lin Yao said coldly, "What, Mr. Imamura, you're not going to give me face? Then I'm going to lose my temper!"

With a humiliated expression, Imamura Hiroji could only pick up the wine glass on the table and drink it all in one gulp.

Lin Yao then smiled and said, "That's more like it, Mr. Imamura!"

……

"Damn, Lin Yao is really something! He's even managed to collect protection money from a big company in Central!" Han Bin said with a sigh after hearing the news.

Thirteen Sister laughed and said, "That's the difference! But this trick can only deal with Japanese groups that don't have a deep foundation. What if we tried it on the English?"

Han Bin said with a smile, "I think this guy might be capable of doing it, but the English aren't to be trifled with!"

Dinosaur looked at Han Bin and Thirteen Sister with a blank expression and said, "Is it so cool to collect protection money all the way to Central?"

Both of them looked speechless: "It's okay, go have fun!"

"Oh!" The dinosaur had no interest in chatting with the two of them and got up to leave.

"I heard that Ah Yao is planning to start a new business. Are you interested in getting involved?" Han Bin said directly to Thirteen Sister.

Thirteen Sister nodded; "Of course I'm interested. Seeing how much money you guys make from smuggling, who wouldn't be tempted!"

"Tsk, I wish Yaozai were one of our Hung Hing members!"

Han Bin couldn't help but think that if Lin Yao were a member of Hung Hing, given his relationship with him, he might even be able to get close to the leader of Hung Hing.

However, Jiang Tianyang is doing a good job now, and Han Bin has gradually suppressed these thoughts.

……

"Choose that star? Ah Yao is awesome!"

Inside the Wo Luen Shing triad, Big D overheard what everyone was saying and said with some surprise.

Daipu Hei chimed in, "Ah Yao is definitely something, being able to collect protection money from those rich guys!"

Lin Huai Le didn't say anything, but he was secretly anxious.

He wasn't very strong in the Wo Shing Wo team to begin with, and now a particularly dazzling Lin Yao has emerged.

Will this change Deng Bo's mind about promoting himself to the top?
Thinking about this, Lin Huaile wondered if he should try to build a good relationship with Lin Yao and try to get some information from him.

"By the way, Yaozai said that we and the people from Liansheng could take over the casino at the Twins Hotel!" Chuiji said to the group from his seat, "I wonder if any of you are interested!"

"Hey, I heard that the area around the Twins Hotel is a godforsaken place!" Tall Guy couldn't help but say, "Can you really make money opening a casino there?"

“Since this kid dared to take on the task, I feel he already has a solution!” Big D said seriously.

As the person who had the most contact with Lam Yiu among the members of Wo Luen Shing, Big D felt that he knew Lam Yiu quite well.

Since taking over the Yau Ma Tei branch, Lin Yao has never failed in any business venture.

Whether it's publishing, film and television companies, or smuggling, they're all thriving.

Big D thought it was worth investing in someone like that: "I'm going with them anyway!"

Daiura was initially hesitant, but seeing that Big D was willing to place a bet, he decided to go and see if he could open a casino or something.

With the two of them taking the lead, even those who had previously refused joined in.

This means that there are clearly not enough spots available.

Lin Yao didn't have a gambling license; he only obtained the casino operating rights through his connections with Broken Tooth Giant.

There were too many casinos to deal with, and Lin Yao was having a hard time explaining himself.

So Deng Wei banged on the table and said, "There aren't that many slots available, and it's impossible for Macau to let us and Luen Shing in so many people. So I think you should each discuss your shareholdings and then hand over the management rights to Ah Yao!"

Hearing Deng Wei's arrangement, everyone felt it was appropriate and nodded in agreement.

Big D looked at the guys arguing about shares with some disdain, since he and Lin Yao had other businesses anyway.

Moreover, it was a fruit machine that Lin Yao had personally invited him to see. Even in Hong Kong, this thing would be no different from gambling.

Therefore, Big D wasn't very interested in the casino shares in Macau; he was more interested in these video game fruit machines.

……

At this time, Lin Yao was busy with the acquisition of the newspaper.

The original Imamura Newspaper Group could no longer be used.

Moreover, Lin Yao plans to give the neon editors a complete overhaul.

After leaving only a framework, everything was handed over to Yang Siwen to handle.

Lin Yao also gave a warning: "Be very careful, there might be hidden Japanese spies causing trouble. If you find anything amiss, be decisive!"

Yang Siwen nodded and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the boss to have his eye on this Japanese-run newspaper. I heard it's quite large!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Otherwise, why would I go to all this trouble? Don't let me down! If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, communicate more!"

Yang Siwen nodded: "I understand, boss!"

Just after I finished talking with Yang Siwen, I saw Le Huizhen suddenly run into Lin Yao's office.

When Yang Siwen saw that it was the proprietress, she immediately got up and left, saying, "Zhenzhen, I won't disturb you any longer!"

Although Yang Siwen was a woman, Le Huizhen never regarded her as a competitor. She knew that Yang Siwen was the head manager of Lin Yao's magazine and had been working for Lin Yao for a long time.

So the relationship between the two was still pretty good: "Looks like your boss is exploiting you again!"

Yang Siwen said with a smile, "I really enjoy challenges!"
