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

Chapter 376 "376" The Artifact Thief

Lin Yao naturally wouldn't refuse Guo Shirong's request.

Moreover, Lin Yao also conveniently connected Li Shutang with him.

As for how they discussed things afterward, that's none of Lin Yao's business.

Late at night at the North District Wharf, inside a food stall.

Lin Yao introduced the large circle leopard to the two of them.

"Let me introduce you. This is Guo Shirong, a member of the Citizens' Party like me, and also the owner of Guo's Real Estate! And this one needs no introduction, right? Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations, Li Wenbin." After introducing them to Big Circle Leopard, Lin Yao stood up and said, "You two can talk it out yourselves now; I'm not involved!"

Although Lin Yao has good relations with the mainland, he does not intend to rely on the mainland forever.

He has big ambitions and doesn't intend to follow the mainland forever.

In such a turbulent era, merely settling for a corner is not Lin Yao's style.

Therefore, my interactions with people from my hometown are limited to helping them with small favors and doing some business.

As for deeper matters, Lin Yao has no intention of getting involved.

The big circle leopard also saw through Lin Yao's thoughts, or rather, many people saw through Lin Yao's thoughts.

Therefore, they were very polite to Lin Yao and gave him plenty of benefits.

This will make the interaction between the two parties more harmonious.

After talking for an unknown period of time, all three parties emerged from the food stall with great satisfaction.

Guo Shirong wanted to say something to Lin Yao, but Lin Yao stopped him by raising his hand: "Brother Guo, this is your own business, I won't get involved!"

Guo Shirong paused for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "I understand!"

Li Shutang echoed Lin Yao, saying, "I'm a little confused, what exactly is your role?"

“A broker!” Lin Yao shrugged and said, “A broker who favors the mainland!”

Li Shutang suddenly realized: "I understand! So that's how it is!"

After the two left, Big Circle Leopard found Lin Yao: "Thank you so much, Yao, you really helped me a lot this time!"

"Just saying thank you verbally is so insincere!" Lin Yao said, pursing his lips.

Big Circle Leopard laughed and said, "The logistics park you invested in last time has already started construction. You can make any other requests!"

"Moreover, a big boss like you who invests in your hometown will receive very preferential treatment!"

Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "I want to talk to the telecommunications operators back in my hometown!"

The big-circled leopard thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a problem! It seems you want to make a big splash in this area?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I just want to sell some cell phones back in my hometown!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

"Mobile phones? You have that kind of technology?" Big Circle Leopard said in surprise.

After all, mobile phone technology is now a high-tech industry, so Big Circle Leopard was naturally quite surprised.

Lin Yao said with a smile, "I recently reached some cooperation agreements with Japan and we're developing our own mobile phones! I estimate that in less than two years, we should be able to launch our own mobile phone brand!"

Big Circle Leopard thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll talk to the higher-ups. It shouldn't be a problem!"

"Then I'll wait for your good news!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Lin Yao got up and took his leave.

The market back home is huge, so Lin Yao's mobile phone development will definitely need to focus on securing sales channels first.

The telecom operators back home are quite domineering. If you don't cooperate with them, even someone like Lin Yao probably won't have a good time after going in.

Lin Yao has done so much for his hometown, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to make some concessions to him.

A few days later, Big Circle Leopard called.

The head of the telecom operator was very interested in Lin Yao's self-developed brand of mobile phones and hoped to meet with him.

Lin Yao immediately laughed and led several of the scientists from Er Mao directly to his hometown.

After the meeting, people from his hometown came to talk to Lin Yao.

Because of Lin Yao's identity, the conversation between the two parties went very smoothly.

They especially valued the independent technology that Lin Yao possessed.

"Mr. Lin, how long will it take for your self-developed mobile phone brand to be launched on the market?" the operator's representative asked curiously.

Lin Yao said directly, "Although we already have the core technology, this thing can't be accomplished by core technology alone. I have reached a cooperation agreement with Panasonic Group, and they will build factories in Hong Kong and the mainland."

"Once we figure out their supporting industries, I think we'll be pretty much done!"

The operator's representative nodded: "How long will it take?"

"It will take at least one or two years. Even if you learn by stealing someone's knowledge, it still takes time to learn!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

“That’s right, we can draft an agreement first!” The operators were also quite envious of the technology Lin Yao possessed.

Therefore, ByteDance urged Lin Yao to draft an agreement with the local telecom operator.

The cooperation between the two sides was good, with no business competition, so this kind of thing was quite common. Lin Yao naturally had no problem with it, because he knew very well that these technologies would iterate rapidly, and even if the other side used underhanded tactics, as long as he maintained his research and development, he would soon be able to surpass them.

However, Lin Yao's sights are not only set on the market, but also on the vast talent pool in mainland China.

So he took the initiative and said, "How about this? I'm planning to set up a technology company in mainland China. I wonder if the three of you would be interested in investing?"

"Specializing in developing mobile phones?" the three representatives said with some surprise.

"It's not just about phones, I'll be launching many more new products!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

“Of course, no problem! We fully support Mr. Lin’s idea!” the three immediately said. “However, we need to go back and report on this matter.”

"Of course, that's only right. I need some time to prepare for this company!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

After the two parties signed a preliminary agreement, Lin Yao stood up, shook hands with the other party, and then took his leave.

After finishing their business, Lin Yao went to the logistics park in Bao'an. The basic framework had been set up, and all that was left was to recruit drivers and obtain the necessary permits for travel to Hong Kong.

This logistics park would also benefit Hong Kong, and with the help of the Civic Party, Lin Yao felt it shouldn't be a problem.

Just as Lin Yao was about to go back, Xiao Fu suddenly blocked his way: "Boss, something's not right with those people up ahead!"

"Damn it, who's causing trouble in my logistics park so late at night?" Lin Yao said irritably. "Call some security guards over and arrest them!"

Lin Yao's security company is now very powerful, with business all over Hong Kong and even influencing the mainland.

After all, the mainland wasn't very safe at that time either.

However, unlike in Hong Kong, while Lin Yao was issued a license in mainland China, he did not have many gun licenses.

However, these are minor issues; they're sufficient for our needs.

Xiao Fu immediately notified security, and then a few people sneaked over.

The group was quickly apprehended near the sea.

"What's your background?" Lin Yao arrived a moment later and asked directly.

Xiao Fu examined it for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "Boss, it's an antique!"

"Hiss!" Lin Yao stared in shock at the things on the ship, gasping, "Damn, these bastards are really bold. These artifacts are enough to get them shot, right?"

"Let us go! Do you know who we're with?" The captured men continued to struggle.

But Xiao Fu stomped on him twice, and the place immediately fell silent.

“Notify Big Leopard to come over; he’ll definitely take this matter very seriously!” Lin Yao said with a smile.

Upon receiving Lin Yao's call, Big Circle Leopard immediately rushed over.

Upon seeing these cultural relics, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"What? Is it important?" Lin Yao asked curiously.

Big Circle Leopard nodded: "They are indeed very important! These damned antiquities thieves! I'll kill them all! These are all national treasures!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "I heard that they probably have a gang behind them!"

"A gang?" Big Circle Leopard's eyes widened immediately: "Damn, this is troublesome!"

"You go report first, I'll interrogate these guys!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

The leopard nodded, then hurriedly left.

Lin Yao snapped his fingers and said to Xiao Fu, "They're all yours now!"

Xiao Fu nodded: "I understand, boss!"

Although Xiao Fu wasn't good at interrogation, the methods used by the military were something these thieves couldn't withstand.

They quickly revealed a lot of information, and after receiving it, Xiao Fu immediately reported it to Lin Yao.

"Wait, you said their leader is Fu Guang?" Lin Yao asked curiously.

Xiao Fu nodded: "What's wrong, boss? Do you know this person?"

Lin Yao knew him all too well; this guy, despite being an antique thief, was full of witty remarks.

It would be difficult for Lin Yao not to know this guy.

I just didn't expect to run into them at this time.

This made Lin Yao ask curiously, "Where is their boss?"

"I don't know. They weren't traveling together, but their destination was Hong Kong!" Xiao Fu shook his head. "I guess they wanted to use Hong Kong as a springboard to sell these cultural relics overseas!"

"Hehe, this is interesting. Let's wait for the big circle leopard to come back!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

Big Circle Leopard returned quickly, and Lin Yao told him what he had learned from Xiao Fu's interrogation.

Big Circle Leopard coughed and said, "If that's the case, I'll have to ask you for help again!"

"No problem!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "I don't want these national treasures to end up abroad either!"

Big Circle Leopard nodded: "It's just that this Fu Guang is indeed on our police's wanted list, but we haven't been able to find his whereabouts. However, we've made some progress recently. We received news from Beijing that they've found one of Fu Guang's confidants and are sending special agents to make contact with him!"
