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

Chapter 268 "268" He Xin's Little Trick

Hearing Lin Yao's words, Lin Baixin was also stunned: "When did I do anything to you?"

"Read the news and newspapers yourself!" Lin Yao said, somewhat speechless.

Lin Baixin immediately had his assistant bring him the newspaper, and then he was completely stunned.

Because the newspapers were full of criticisms of Lin Yao.

The titles are getting more and more alarming.

Exposing the truth: Media mogul is actually a triad member; public opinion is controlled by gangsters.

The Guangyao Charity Foundation is suspected of falsifying accounts; the follow-up at Mingxin Hospital is still ongoing.

The farce surrounding the Fugui Maru was actually a self-directed and self-acted drama.

Legislator urgently warns that triads have infiltrated every aspect of Hong Kong.

Seeing these sensational headlines, Lin Baixin was dumbfounded: "Who the hell did this? Did I ask these newspapers to publish this news?"

The assistant scratched his head and said, "No, boss, I didn't tell them to publish this kind of article!"

"Damn it, why don't we go and find out who did this?" Lin Baixin said hurriedly.

He knew he didn't want to fall out with Lin Yao at this point, because he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Just as the assistant was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a newspaper and said to Lin Baixin, "That's not right, boss. We didn't contact this newspaper at all when we were doing this publicity stunt!"

"Take a look quickly!" Lin Baixin said hurriedly.

After a careful search, the assistant found that these media outlets and newspapers were completely unfamiliar and quickly said to Lin Baixin, "Boss, these are not the media outlets we contacted. I don't know these people at all!"

"Damn it!" Lin Baixin finally understood that someone was deliberately causing trouble while he and Lin Yao were acting.

Lin Baixin immediately explained to Lin Yao and asked curiously, "Have you offended someone recently? It's obvious someone is trying to frame me! Or rather, someone is trying to help me out!"

Hearing the old man suppressing a laugh, Lin Yao was speechless.

Immediately have Liang Xiaotang investigate these media companies.

However, this also proves that the drama he and Lin Baixin acted in was indeed quite successful.

They fooled quite a few people.

……

ATV, in the conference room.

The Australians are having a small meeting here.

"Hahaha, it seems our plan succeeded. Lin Baixin and Lin Yao did indeed start fighting!" A bald Australian man laughed loudly.

Another foreigner nodded in agreement: "It's definitely working; these two seem to be getting tougher!"

"I never expected Lin Baixin to dare to bring up Lin Yao's background!"

"This is practically a recipe for disaster!" The foreigner laughed loudly.

"We can't let our guard down!" one of the Australians said with a chuckle. "But let them fight for a while longer, then we can talk to one of them first!"

"Who should we talk to first?" several people asked curiously.

The leading foreigner thought for a moment and said, "I think Lin Baixin is more suitable, after all, he holds the most shares and has a strong desire to control the company!"

"Once we get this guy's offer, we'll go find Lin Yao and have them start bidding against each other! I think we can definitely sell our shares for a reasonable price!"

“Exactly!” one of the foreigners said rather arrogantly, “We’ve never had a losing deal!”

"Although we don't know how to run a business, we know how to make money! Hahaha!" The foreigners burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this.

What they didn't know was that these things were actually within Lin Yao and Lin Baixin's expectations.

Lin Baixin was just a bit more cunning; he bribed many senior executives of ATV from the very beginning.

It's like they bribed their own people at ATV beforehand.

This news also reached Lin Baixin's ears from ATV's senior management.

"Lin Yao really guessed right!" Lin Baixin said, stroking his chin. "The foreigners did come to me first, just as expected."

The assistant said to Lin Baixin, "Boss, should we tell Lin Yao this news?"

"No need, we already have an agreement, there's no need for this!" Lin Baixin shook his head and said, "But how did the talks with the ATV executives go?"

The assistant said smugly, "Many senior executives are looking forward to you taking over ATV!"

"Especially the directors of several departments, they readily agreed to your conditions!"

Lin Baixin said smugly, "That kid Lin Yao is indeed cunning! But, doing business isn't just about being smart; you also need connections and methods!"

"That's right, after all, nobody knows that the production director of ATV was actually one of your people after you first acquired the shares!" the assistant immediately flattered.

Lin Baixin said with a smile, "The drama department is the core of a TV station. What do you think makes ATV stand up to TVB? Without enough appeal, it can't even attract advertisers!"

“Tell the production director that once I take control of ATV, I will fully lead the dramas he promotes. Before that, he must get rid of that brat Lin Yao!”

The assistant smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, they should know what to do and who to follow for a better future!"    
……

After a long day of work, Liang Xiaotang finally got what Lin Yao wanted.

"He Xin?" Lin Yao sneered. "That old bastard is really free. He still has time to cause me trouble in Haojiang! It seems there have been some new developments in Haojiang!"

"I heard that He Xin has recently had a young man by his side! He seems to be from Yizhou, and he's helped him bring in a lot of clients from Yizhou!" Liang Xiaotang said directly to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao was somewhat surprised: "You've extended your reach to Macau?"

Leung Siu-tong scratched his head and said, "I've noticed that the boss's recent arrangements are all related to Macau, so he's also tried to establish an intelligence network there! He's using the same methods Mike used before!"

"Smart!" Lin Yao didn't hold back his praise for Liang Xiaotang.

Such a quick-thinking subordinate deserves praise and some rewards.

Liang Xiaotang and his men received a raise and were given additional funding to further develop their intelligence network in Macau.

Isn't He Xin, that old geezer, supposed to have long arms?

Lin Yao was already planning to give the old man a surprise.

Now that they knew who did it, things were much easier, and Lin Yao didn't take the matter seriously.

As for exposing his triad affiliation, that's even more of a joke.

Lin Yao's identity has never been hidden. These idiots should know if they just looked through the news a little more. Back when they had their dirty business with Mingda, Mingda had someone leak his information.

Unfortunately, it didn't cause Lin Yao any harm.

Speaking of the University of Minnesota, it's been having a really tough time lately.

Xu Wenbiao is not a kind person. After his girlfriend was stolen by Ye Xiaoli's third son from Mingda Group, he has been secretly harassing Mingda.

Although the damage is not significant, for a real estate company of Mingda's caliber, it would only mean a small financial loss.

However, it is extremely insulting.

After all, Xu Wenbiao, who is vengeful and quite cunning, is a very difficult person to deal with.

Lin Yao arrived at Huamao Group, and the Huamao Group building had finally been completely renovated.

The floor was polished until it shone brightly.

The receptionist recognized Lin Yao and immediately stood up to greet him upon his arrival: "Good morning, Chairman!"

"Good morning!" Lin Yao nodded. "Where is Chairman Xu?"

"Chairman Xu is in his office. Should I inform him?" the receptionist said quickly.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "No need for that trouble, I'll just go upstairs to find him!"

Lin Yao took the elevator directly to the top-floor office, where Xu Wenbiao was looking at the design drawings and eating breakfast.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "You're so busy, you don't even have time to eat breakfast properly!"

When Xu Wenbiao saw that it was Lin Yao, he smiled and said, "Boss, what brings you here? Why didn't you tell me to pick you up?"

"Why go through all this trouble? You know I don't like doing this kind of thing!" Lin Yao smiled and glanced at the design drawings in front of Xu Wenbiao, saying with some surprise, "You've already finished the planning drawings?"

Xu Wenbiao said with a smile, "It's all taken care of a long time ago. The demolition is now complete, and the government has handed it over. The next step is planning. I plan to review the blueprints myself before submitting them to the planning bureau!"

Lin Yao nodded: "That's good. You're quite meticulous in your work, and you also have connections in the planning bureau!"

Xu Wenbiao said with a smile, "The people at the planning bureau are relatively easy to deal with, as long as you pay them enough!"

Xu Wenbiao was originally a member of the planning bureau, but he was too straightforward and hated doing this kind of thing.

In just over a year, the dragon-slaying boy turned into a dragon himself.

When it comes to bribery, he's incredibly skilled.

However, a cunning and ruthless Xu Wenbiao would be more in Lin Yao's best interest.

If it were the idealist he once was, Lin Yao wouldn't have dared to let him take control of Huamao Group!

Xu Wenbiao gave Lin Yao a detailed explanation of the contents of the planning map, explaining clearly which areas could be used as duty-free shops and what kind of shops could be opened in those areas.

Lin Yao only needed to glance at it to understand Xu Wenbiao's plan.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "You have big ambitions!"

"Hehe, this was the idea that came up between Mr. Guo's planners and our team!" Xu Wenbiao said with a smile. "Anyway, we're all family. As long as the profits are divided reasonably, we won't have to worry about disputes later!"

Lin Yao nodded: "Then let's do it your way! I'll fully support you!"

Xu Wenbiao was very grateful for Lin Yao's trust, after all, he had been a nobody before.

Now he's a big shot in the real estate industry, and Ye Rongtian even shamelessly came to him to share some business with his Litian.

However, Xu Wenbiao did not refuse the other party, because he learned a lot of his smooth-talking skills from Ye Rongtian.
