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

Chapter 258 "258" Insidious, Deadly Move

In Haojiang, at He Xin's old house.

Yu Lancan was waiting for He Xin in the garden.

Upon seeing He Xin emerge, he immediately stood up.

He Xin waved his hand and said, "Sit down. How's that kid Lin Yao?"

Yu Lancan shrugged and said, "Nothing special happened, I guess they've given up!"

He Xin said irritably, "If he were willing to admit it, would he have bothered to come all the way to see me and then say a few harsh words? Do you think he's an idiot or I'm an idiot?"

Yu Lancan said with some puzzlement, "But he really didn't do anything special. He just opened another travel company. There's no point in doing that!"

He Xin frowned and said, "Have you investigated the shareholding structure of his new company?"

"Well... no, not at all!" Yu Lancan said somewhat awkwardly.

He Xin didn't waste words with him. Instead, he had the butler hand him a mobile phone, dialed a number, and asked the other party to help him check Lin Yao's new company.

The other party quickly called back and gave He Xin some information.

"Zhou Chaoxian from the Pine Forest Gang?" He Xin frowned and asked Yu Lancan, "Do you know him?"

"I know him. He seems to be the leader of a gang from Yizhou. He's been quite popular lately." Yu Lancan was a little puzzled. "I've never heard of Lin Yao having any dealings with gangs from Yizhou!"

"But I don't think it's a big deal. It's just about bringing in customers from Yizhou! Why don't we just do the same?"

He Xin instinctively felt that this matter was not so simple, so he said to Yu Lancan, "Use your connections to find out who this Zhou Chaoxian is. I need detailed information!"

Yu Lancan said with some puzzlement, "Mr. He, aren't you being a little too cautious? It's just Lin Yao!"

He Xin sneered, "You dare to underestimate this kid? If it were you, could you have gone from a scoundrel in Wo Luen Shing to one of Hong Kong's top tycoons?"

"Do you know that Lin Yao's businesses now cover manufacturing, electronics, logistics, finance, real estate, and media companies?"

Upon hearing He Xin's words, Yu Lancan was startled: "This kid is that awesome?"

Hearing Yu Lancan's words, He Xin felt a little unwilling to talk to this guy anymore.

It's obvious that Yu Lancan still sees Lin Yao as just an ordinary gang leader, which is quite foolish.

I shouldn't have hastily agreed to Yu Lancan's offer and taken over Lin Yao's travel company business.

……

Lin Yao is temporarily preparing to return to Hong Kong to coordinate the matter of Zhou Chaoxian's batch of video game consoles.

We should also check on the condition of that Hailong ship.

After learning that Yu Lancan and Bengya Ju planned to kick him out, he had already started planning this.

So they specifically sent someone to investigate the Hailong cruise ship.

If we go back now, there should be results.

Lok Wai-ching and Fong Sze-wai had completely lost interest in Lung Wai and followed Lin Yao back to Hong Kong.

Things are relatively stable within ATV for the time being, and Lin Yao doesn't seem to have any intention of directly confronting Lin Baixin.

After all, the Australian conglomerate somehow found out about the conflict between them.

When Lin Yao sought to buy their shares, he made an outrageous demand.

This left Lin Yao completely dumbfounded.

However, he soon learned that the foreigners from the Australian consortium knew that he and Lin Baixin both wanted to take control of ATV.

Therefore, they chose to wait for a better price, hoping to sell their ATV shares at a good price.

These greedy foreigners have made a mess of the TV station, yet they still want to sell it for a good price. They are simply insatiable!

Therefore, neither Lin Yao nor Lin Baixin intended to indulge these foreigners, so they tacitly decided to give them a hard time and let them know their situation.

As for the future conflict between Lin Yao and Lin Baixin, we'll talk about that later!

Meanwhile, Lok Wai-ching got a boyfriend who was a director, and her treatment at ATV improved considerably.

So she wasn't in a hurry to switch jobs; she felt that Lin Yao would definitely be able to acquire ATV.

Changing jobs at this point would be pointless.

Fang Siwei naturally went back to the company and got busy. This workaholic woman spent all her time on her career, except when she was being intimate with Lin Yao.

Lin Yao first went to the factory in Tseung Kwan O to take a look. Du Zhentang and Du Jiasheng, father and son, manufactured various entertainment equipment for Lin Yao, which not only revitalized their factory, but also prevented Lin Yao from getting back the two-tier shares that he had initially promised.

Therefore, the father and son are now millionaires in Hong Kong.

Moreover, Lin Yao brought them another huge order this time, which surprised and delighted the two of them.

However, what followed was mostly a headache.

"Boss, with so many orders, our factory simply can't keep up!" Du Zhentang said helplessly.

Du Jiasheng nodded: "There are too many product categories; we don't have that many production lines!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "It's okay, I was already prepared!"

"Huh?" The father and son were somewhat bewildered.

Lin Yao explained, "I've invested in two electronics factories back in my hometown, and they should be completed by now. You and your son can each send one of you back to my hometown to recruit workers and start working right away!"    
"There's no shortage of materials back home, so there shouldn't be any problem with supplying production! Plus, labor costs are very low back home right now, which should save us a lot of money."

Hearing Lin Yao's foresight, both father and son were somewhat surprised. However, Du Jiasheng immediately volunteered, saying to Lin Yao, "Then, boss, I'll go with you to your hometown!"

Although they are father and son, they inevitably have some disagreements at work.

Du Jiasheng is a guy who likes to do research and development, and he studies some strange and unusual entertainment devices.

For example, claw machines and basketball shooting machines were all invented by this guy.

He's very different from his old-fashioned father.

Lin Yao knew why this kid was willing to go back to his hometown, and he warned Du Jiasheng with a smile, "It's fine if you like doing research and development, but you have to keep up with the production volume! Do you understand?"

Du Jiasheng quickly smiled and said, "No problem, boss!"

"You brat, remember to focus on production after you get there, don't just keep fiddling with those weird and wonderful things!" Du Zhentang said with a hint of helplessness.

……

After placing the order with the factory, Lin Yao found a company called Xiangjiang Tourism.

This company owns the Hailong.

The Hailong was originally a transport ship, but this tourism company converted it into a cruise ship.

However, business has never been good, and it has been losing money year after year.

This enormous asset is rapidly becoming a burden for Hong Kong Tourism Company.

Lin Yao's direct visit was naturally met with great enthusiasm.

Lin Yao didn't waste any time and directly proposed to the other party that he wanted to acquire the ship.

Little did anyone know that the company's boss also saw Lin Yao as a sucker.

“Mr. Lin, this cruise ship is our company’s most important asset. If we sell it, our company will lose all its advantages!” The company’s boss was shrewd but also cunning.

Unfortunately, Lin Yao had already thoroughly investigated their company, so this approach was completely useless against him.

Lin Yao said calmly, "Mr. Yu, are you treating me like a sucker? Do you think I didn't investigate your company before buying the ship?"

"You probably can't even afford the maintenance costs for this ship anymore, are you? And now you're asking me for an exorbitant price? Why don't you keep this cruise ship for yourself? Anyway, there should be plenty of similar ships in Hong Kong!"

After saying that, Lin Yao lost all interest in negotiating the price and got up to leave.

Upon seeing this, the travel agency owner quickly tried to persuade them to stay.

Knowing that Lin Yao was not easily fooled, they directly quoted a high price of 15 million.

Although the price was clearly still a premium, in order to take possession of the ship as soon as possible and hand it over to Ye Han for modification, Lin Yao cut the price down by three million and finally settled on twelve million.

Moreover, this ship hasn't been maintained for a long time, so it will probably cost a lot of money, plus there are issues with decoration and renovation.

So after discussing it with Ye Han, the deal was still reached.

Then Ye Han personally came to Hong Kong to see the cruise ship.

With a goal in mind, this nearly 90-year-old man is full of energy, even more so than some young people.

They directly contacted some professionals and began planning the layout of the ship.

Then Ye Han and Lin Yao also established a tourism company in Hong Kong, registered the ship under the company's name, and divided the shares according to their investment ratio.

Having learned his lesson, Ye Han became quite cautious in this regard.

……

Lin Yao's secret plan hadn't even been officially launched yet, but He Xin was already getting restless.

They found out that Zhou Chaoxian had connections with a high-ranking official in Yizhou.

Suddenly, they became hesitant to act rashly.

"Damn it, I knew this Zhou Chaoxian was no ordinary person!" He Xin felt a chill run down his spine after reading the information.

If Yu Lancan really dares to contact people in Yizhou and try to steal business from Zhou Chaoxian...

They'll definitely regret it.

This could even affect tourists from Yizhou spending money in Haojiang.

The losses at that time would be far beyond what He Xin could afford.

At the same time, He Xin was also relieved that he had been careful. This Lin Yao was really too insidious. He had clearly dug a pit for them to fall into. This kind of kid was really troublesome.

“Mr. He, what do we do now? All the customers in Yizhou have been taken away. Why don’t we just take back the operating rights of the Twins Hotel?” Yu Lancan said to He Xin.

He Xin said irritably, "Are you an idiot? Why are you always coming up with such terrible ideas lately!"

"If things really come to a head, do you think that kid is someone to be trifled with? It would be strange if he didn't turn Macau upside down!"

He Xin understood very well that if you're playing within the rules, you have to abide by them.

Taking back the casino operating rights that were promised long ago is tantamount to flipping the table!
