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

Chapter 305 "305" Ding Quan, a local gentry
"boss!"

In a private room of a restaurant in the New Territories.

Su Xingbai walked in with his underlings.

Lin Yao smiled and said to Su Xingbai, "Looks like you've been having a lot of fun lately!"

Su Xingbai said with a smile, "It really did vent my anger!"

"But once Mo Yilie comes back, you probably won't be so comfortable!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "That guy doesn't seem like a pushover!"

Su Xingbo said confidently, "Coincidentally, neither am I!"

"You can have fun, but don't let something unexpected happen!" Lin Yao warned.

Su Xingbai nodded: "Don't worry, boss. I'll be careful with Mo Yilie. I collected information on him when I was in the intelligence department and I know that he has close ties with a drug lord in Siam."

"Okay! Let's talk about Ding Quan's matter!" Lin Yao nodded. Since Su Xingbai had already made his own plans, he didn't intend to interfere.

Anyway, Lin Yao no longer cares about the gang's affairs, and has even handed over his territory to Jimmy to handle.

Su Xingbo nodded: "Didn't you ask me to look at the land transactions in the New Territories before? I found that there are males with 'Ding Quan' here, especially some good-for-nothing guys. After they come of age, they sell their 'Ding Quan' to get money for gambling, drugs, or to go live elsewhere!"

“I thought it was an isolated case until… I discovered that someone was deliberately luring these young people into gambling and drug use, and was selling Ding Quan very cheaply.”

Lin Yao was somewhat surprised: "How cheap?"

"Fifty thousand yuan!" Su Xingbai said, holding out his palm.

"Tsk, if I remember correctly, every male in the New Territories can build a three-story house with an area of ​​no more than 700 square feet, right? And the land price is waived. If we collect more of these..." Lin Yao pondered and calculated that he could directly acquire a large plot of land in the New Territories!
Although it can't be used now, we will definitely talk to our hometown about the New Territories land after we return.

By then, housing prices will definitely have risen as well.

To get 700 feet for 50,000 yuan is practically like getting it for free.
Lin Yao asked curiously, "Who is collecting these Ding Quan?"

Su Xingbo stroked his chin and said, "It's all these rural gentry from the New Territories who are collecting these lands. I don't quite understand it. The government certainly won't give them land grants in bulk. What's the use of land grants? Do they really want to build bungalows here?"

Lin Yao laughed and said, "What if the policy changes one day? You don't think the New Territories Ding Uk Ordinance can continue indefinitely, do you? Look at how many people there are in the New Territories now! If this continues, how much land in the New Territories will be enough for them to build Ding Uk?"

"You mean the policy will change?" Su Xingbai asked in surprise.

"Who can say for sure about these things!" Lin Yao said calmly. "Who is this guy who led the way in collecting the labor rights?"

“Lu Hantao from Luk Family Village, this guy is a well-known local gentry and also one of the councilors of the New Territories!” Su Xingbo said directly, “Back then, he was the one who led the fight against the British! And he was the one who negotiated with the British, which led to the Ding House Ordinance!”

Lin Yao nodded and said, "Interesting! It really was him!"

This matches what I remember, the plot of "Overheard 3".

"Boss, are you also interested in this Ding Quan thing?" Su Xingbai asked curiously.

Lin Yao nodded: "Of course I'm interested!"

“That’s easy, I’ll just help you get Ding Quan here!” Su Xingbai said directly.

Lin Yao waved his hand and said, "Things aren't that simple. The New Territories are a complicated place! Even if you manage to take Ding Quan under your wing and intimidate the villagers with your gangster status, there will be endless trouble afterward!"

"If we want to get this done, we need to start from the source. Lu Hantao is the key figure!"

"Go and keep an eye on things for me and see how many Ding Quan they've collected. Don't make any rash moves for now."

Su Xingbai nodded and said, "No problem, boss!"

After Su Xingbo left, Lin Yao remembered that he seemed to know a local councilor.

That's right, it's Liu Shanyi, the former boss of this guy Wei Da.

This old guy was also a member of the New Territories legislator and had a lot of influence in the New Territories, so Lin Yao dialed his number directly.

"Ah Yao, what's up?" Liu Shanyi asked directly.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "I happen to be in the New Territories, just about to have tea with you."

“Okay, come to Liu’s Tea Shop, I’ll wait for you here!” Liu Shanyi said directly.

Lin Yao went straight to the tea shop, and just by looking at the name, he knew it must be Liu Shanyi's business.

The two were already quite familiar with each other, so there was no beating around the bush. He went straight to Liu Shanyi and asked, "Do you know anything about Lu Hantao?"

"Lu Hantao? What happened? Did this old guy offend you?" Liu Shanyi said with some surprise, "He's just a country bumpkin!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "No, I just want to know. I heard he's recruiting Ding Quan!"

"Oh, this guy!" Liu Shanyi nodded and said, "This old fellow is just an old landlord, so it's not surprising that he does these things. He himself isn't much of a threat. He offended the foreigners badly back then, so he can only have some influence in this small area of ​​the New Territories!" "But from what you're saying, you're also interested in this Ding Quan thing?"

Lin Yao nodded and said, "I feel that Ding Quan's thing can't last. We'll be able to negotiate with the government later!"

Liu Shanyi nodded: "That's true, I just don't have much money, otherwise I would also collect some Ding Quan."

Lin Yao asked curiously, "If my Huamao Group comes to acquire Ding Quan, will it cause any trouble?"

Liu Shanyi thought for a moment and said, "There will definitely be trouble. You're not from the New Territories, but didn't you have quite a few factories here before? Hire a few more people, and I can help you handle the rest!"

Lin Yao immediately laughed: "What do you want?"

"Votes!" Liu Shanyi said directly, "The next election is about to begin, and I need to mobilize as many of your people as possible to vote for me!"

"With your ability to support so many people, Mr. Lin, giving me some tickets shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Lin Yao immediately laughed: "Don't worry, I support a lot of workers in the factories in Tuen Mun, so there's definitely no problem getting the tickets you need!"

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!" Liu Shanyi immediately smiled and raised his teacup: "I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."

"Haha, cheers!" Lin Yao laughed.

……

After returning from Liu Shanyi's place, Lin Yao went to Huamao Group.

Xu Wenbiao has been extremely busy lately, except for the duty-free shopping mall in Kowloon Walled City, which needs to be completed in time.

They recently acquired another batch of land near Tseung Kwan O.

Besides facilitating Lin Yao's security company, several resorts can also be built there.

Anyway, land in Tseung Kwan O is cheaper, so it's like getting a head start.

As for those bustling areas, forget about them.

The land along the proposed subway lines by the Citizens Party has already been snapped up by speculators.

Guo Shirong spent a lot of money to buy a few very small plots of land.

"Damn it, these bastards are all crazy!" Xu Wenbiao said irritably.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Getting into real estate now is like sitting back and waiting to make money! Plus, with the four major families pushing things along, land prices are skyrocketing!"

"But it's okay. Million Group has a piece of land in Wan Chai that they want to develop. Right now, Judy Tang doesn't have the capacity to develop it, so she contacted me before, intending to develop it with us. When you have time, go to Million Group and talk to their professional manager!"

Xu Wenbiao's eyes lit up immediately: "That piece of land in Wan Chai is worth over two billion! Tang Judy just offered it up to develop with us?"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Tang Judy is a wealthy widow, but she doesn't know much about running a company! Wang Baiwan is gone, and the guy the police found was a fake; she knows that very well!"

"So he needs to find a backer to prevent his entire group from being swallowed up! You know, there are quite a few people eyeing Tom Judy!"

Xu Wenbiao winked at Lin Yao and said, "Boss, do you have...?"

"Damn it, you think I'm some gigolo?!" Lin Yao looked Xu Wenbiao up and down with a curious expression and said, "You're quite fair-skinned too, how about I send you over and see?"

"Hehe, Judy Tom wouldn't even look down on a nobody like me!" Xu Wenbiao said with a laugh.

"Alright, they're having a great time with that fake Wang Baiwan!" Lin Yao said irritably. "Stop doing these pointless things."

"By the way, can you allocate a group of people to me? I'm planning to go to the New Territories to take care of some business! Preferably young and smart salespeople."

Xu Wenbiao asked curiously, "Boss, what are you planning to do?"

"I've got my eye on Ting Kuen in the New Territories!" Lin Yao didn't waste any words and told Xu Wenbiao all his thoughts.

Xu Wenbiao said in surprise, "If we can really reach an agreement, wouldn't we be able to acquire a lot of land?"

Lin Yao nodded and said, "It's all about betting on policy!"

"Boss, the clan power in the New Territories is very strong. Even the English can't do anything about it. Do you have any?" Xu Wenbiao asked curiously.

"Isn't that what we're trying to do?" Lin Yao said with a smile. "You have someone open a branch in the New Territories, and then start collecting labor rights directly from the local villagers."

"But I made it clear to those salespeople that they might get beaten up, so think it through before you go! Of course, I won't be stingy with wages and bonuses. If I get injured and have to go to the hospital, the company will cover everything! If I do well, maybe I can be in charge of things in the New Territories in the future!"

Upon hearing Lin Yao's offer, Xu Wenbiao immediately laughed: "Since you've put it that way, boss, I'm sure someone will take a gamble!"
