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

Chapter 180 "180" Old Friend

Although the three of them had never witnessed Lin Yao's extraordinary abilities, they knew that if he dared to boast like that, he must have some real skills.

These two people are among Qian Wendi's closest confidants; he wouldn't dare take the risk.

So he frowned and said, "Let's wait and see what he's up to!"

"I'll prepare for the next few days; I've spotted a juicy target!"

Hearing Qian Wendi say this, the two didn't say much, after all, Qian Wendi was the main general in their team.

The so-called "righteous generals" are the Zheng, Ti, Fan, Tuo, Feng, Huo, Chu, and Yao among the Eight Generals of the Thousand Gates.

Those who orchestrate scams are usually the leaders of the entire team.

Of course, these are the Upper Eight Generals. There are also the Lower Eight Generals: Zhuang, Liu, Tian, ​​Feng, Zhong, Ma, Yan, and Kun.

In short, Qian Wendi is the backbone of the team, so the other two have to listen to him.

Qian Wendi had already made his decision, and they couldn't say much more.

They could only hope that Lin Yao would keep his word and let them leave after he had finished his business.

……

"Ah Yao, recently a lot of people have come to us wanting to join our arcade project!" Jimmy said to Lin Yao with a smile.

Lin Yao chuckled and said, "They got jealous when they saw others making money."

"So, should we contact them?" Jimmy asked.

Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "I've been busy with Huamao Group matters lately, so you handle this!"

"But don't just put anyone in there; they have to be people with some reputation!"

“Other clubs are fine!” Jimmy shook his head and said, “But the people in our own club…”

"They wouldn't get on the bus before, but now they're in a hurry?" Lin Yao said with a sneer.

Jimmy nodded: "And there are many people who want to join, but I didn't expect Lin Huai Le to be in such a hurry! He's come to see me several times already!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Uncle Deng thinks highly of Ah Le and wants to promote him to be the next leader! But his territory in Guanyong is too small, and his strength is simply not enough. Now that he sees everyone else making a fortune, he's naturally anxious!"

"Then... let him join?" Jimmy asked.

"Let them go, they're all from the same gang!" Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "But those old bastards are out of the question, they're always trying to take advantage of others, tell them to get as far away from me as possible!"

Even before Lin Yao's power was established, he didn't take these old guys seriously, not even when he was weak.

Jimmy laughed and said, "I knew you wouldn't like them, so I rejected them a long time ago!"

Lin Yao nodded: "Alright, figure out the rest yourself! I have to go to Huamao Group for a board meeting!"

"Tsk tsk, being the chairman really makes a difference!" Jimmy teased with a smile.

"Get lost, you loser!" Lin Yao gave him the middle finger and then left the office.

He got into his Mercedes-Benz W14 and went straight to the headquarters of Huamao Group.

"Boss!" Huang Yifei's secretary greeted him as soon as he entered the room.

This guy's name is Wu Jiawei, a young man around thirty years old.

He watched Huang Yifei and Lin Yao sign the contracts, and he even left him with Lin Yao, so the secretary was quite shrewd and stood at the door to handle any emergencies.

"Wei-zai, so early!" Lin Yao greeted him with a smile.

Wu Jiawei said with a smile, "Not at all, I was waiting here specifically for you, boss. After all, you just took over the company, and I was afraid that some ignorant person might offend you!"

Lin Yao said with a laugh, "I'm just a chairman of the board, why are you making me sound like an emperor!"

Wu Jiawei opened the door for Lin Yao and then followed Lin Yao inside.

The buildings owned by Wah Mau Group are all constructed by themselves and are located in Tsuen Wan.

After all, land prices are cheap here. Given Huang Yifei's personality, he wouldn't be willing to spend a lot of money to buy a building in Central.

Moreover, the company's decor was extremely... cheap, which even Lin Yao found hard to accept.

The receptionists at the front desk were even more misfits, and they were still eating sunflower seeds at this time, which left Lin Yao speechless.

Upon seeing Wu Jiawei bring Lin Yao in, the two receptionists hurriedly put down the melon seeds they were holding.

Wu Jiawei looked a little embarrassed and said to Lin Yao, "Boss, it's cheap after all!"

"My God!" Lin Yao couldn't help but rub his forehead. He hadn't expected Huang Yifei to be so frugal!
But thinking about it, it's understandable. After all, this guy even owes wages to his contractors' workers, let alone his own employees.

He'd be incredibly grateful if someone was willing to do his work.

Lin Yao shook his head and walked into the building, where he discovered something that utterly shattered his worldview.

The building has more than ten floors, but only two elevators are in operation, while the other two are still under maintenance.

Moreover, Huang Yifei also used the other floors of the building to generate revenue.

It was rented to some strange companies, all sorts of people.

The elevator was filled with a strange smell that was absolutely nauseating!

After finally arriving at the group's headquarters, in the top-floor offices, things finally seemed a bit more normal.

"Several shareholders are already waiting for you in the conference room!" Wu Jiawei quickly led the way and opened the conference room door.

Several oddly shaped middle-aged men were sitting in the conference room. They greeted Lin Yao with heavy accents.

Lin Yao could only sigh and sit down, then said to everyone, "Damn it, no wonder this Boss Huang has been in the real estate business for so many years and is still not as good as a hair on the head of the four major families. I've figured it out, he's just a landlord who caught a trend!" The shareholders looked blank, indicating that they didn't understand at all.

Lin Yao said directly to Wu Jiawei, "Are you telling me that the board of directors consists of just a bunch of small businessmen?"

"There's no way around it, it was something Chairman Huang did before! To circumvent some policy issues, for example, this Mr. Liu owns about 0.1% of the company's shares."

Wu Jiawei spread his hands and said to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao asked curiously, "What about the remaining shares? Were they distributed to the company's senior management?"

“That’s true, but it’s less than 5% and it’s a phantom share!” Wu Jiawei said, spreading his hands.

Lin Yao was speechless for a moment, then said directly, "Alright, tell them I'm going to buy their shares and then dissolve the board of directors!"

Upon hearing that Lin Yao was going to buy their shares, the small business owners immediately became excited.

They asked Lin Yao how much money he planned to spend.

Lin Yao waved his hand and said, "I will buy back your shares at a 50% premium."

“That’s quite a lot, we’ll sell!” The minority shareholders agreed without hesitation.

Some were even impatient.

Lin Yao was a little curious and asked Wu Jiawei.

Wu Jiawei said somewhat embarrassedly, "The money these people actually receive from the company's shares each year is pitifully small!"

"I'm really curious now, how did Huang Yifei manage to build such a big company!" Lin Yao said, somewhat speechless.

Wu Jiawei spread his hands and said, "I guess... it was just luck!"

Lin Yao sighed and spent a small amount of money to acquire the shares held by the other board members.

Then they prepared to rebuild the management team, or rather... to rehire.

As for the employees who handled the work below, Huang Yifei treated them quite well.

Although he was a bit stingy, Huang Yifei knew that there were places where money couldn't be saved.

Otherwise, this company would have gone bankrupt long ago.

After Lin Yao took over the company, he gave all the workers a 10% raise, which immediately made them very grateful.

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore, my brain is about to explode!" Lin Yao said, sitting in Huang Yifei's extremely simple office, somewhat speechless.

Huamao Group no longer owns any land; even the land that Huang Yifei previously acquired has long been transferred.

Aside from having the qualifications and a complete structure, you could say that it has nothing else.

Lin Yao originally thought he had gotten a good deal, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Without a strong and capable CEO to help him, Lin Yao estimated that Huamao Group wouldn't last much longer.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao suddenly remembered someone.

Although it's been a long time since I've seen him, he should be the most suitable guy.

That's right, this guy is Xu Wenbiao, who previously collaborated with Lin Yao on the housing estate project.

He is a former architectural engineer who has worked in large companies and has extensive experience.

It's just unknown whether Xu Wenbiao turned to the dark side during this period.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao immediately called Su Xingbai and asked him to look for Xu Wenbiao's whereabouts.

……

Xu Wenbiao had a very unlucky period during this time, and it should be said that he suffered a series of setbacks.

His younger brother owed more than three million yuan to the Yizhou gang, and he was trying to raise the money from all sides.

Ye Rongtian not only refused to help, but also trapped the money he had promised to lend him.

He wanted to sell his car to pay off his debts, but unexpectedly, the car was hit by a car.

Finally, he swallowed his pride and went to his ex-girlfriend to get more than 200,000 yuan to go to Yizhou to save his younger brother.

I had just disembarked when someone robbed me of all my money.

Under a series of blows, Xu Wenbiao snapped on the spot, killed the thug, and rescued his mother.

From then on, this guy's personality changed drastically, and he even became full of hostility.

Because of a minor scratch on the vehicle, someone grabbed a wrench and cracked the person's head open. He's currently giving a statement at the police station!
"Holy crap, that's terrible!" Lin Yao's face immediately broke into a smile upon hearing Su Xingbai's report.

This is really great. Lin Yao didn't even look at Xu Wenbiao before, but now they're starting to have some interest.

Lin Yao said directly to Su Xingbo, "Go to the police station and bail him out. Tell him I want to see him!"

Su Xingbai nodded: "I understand, boss!"

Soon Su Xingbo arrived at the police station with the money and bailed Xu Wenbiao out.

Xu Wenbiao looked surprised: "Who are you, and why are you bailing me out?"

“An old friend of yours wanted to see you and sent me here after learning about your situation!” Su Xingbo said calmly.

"An old friend?" Xu Wenbiao looked surprised.
