Only a powerful figure like the Eight-Faced Buddha in the Thai underworld could afford to come up with such a sum of money. Even if an ordinary gang sold off its assets and scraped together what it had, it would be impossible for them to raise such a large amount of funds.
……
The next day, the professor was tending to the flowers and plants in the back garden. The plants were growing very lushly, showing that the professor had taken good care of them.
Ah Long, on the other hand, continued to shoot at the target, practicing his marksmanship.
"Bang bang bang."
A gunshot rang out from the quiet garden. Ah Long practiced shooting here every day whenever he had free time, and he was also very skilled. Ah Long was the sharpest knife in the doctor's hands.
The reason the doctor was able to run such a large business was because his younger brother, Ah Long, could act as the force of the enemy. Ah Long would do the fighting, while the doctor would use his brain.
Otherwise, having brains but no fighting power will only make you a fat sheep in other people's eyes.
At this moment, one of Ah Long's mercenaries came over, whispered something in Ah Long's ear, and Ah Long frowned, then put away his gun and went to the doctor's side.
Aron was arrogant and hostile towards everyone else, but he was respectful to the Doctor, his eyes full of reverence, and he said to the Doctor:
"Sister, I just got news that Eight-Faced Buddha has fallen. Ren Jiu of the Sanlian Gang is very strong and has already wiped out Eight-Faced Buddha."
Upon hearing this, the doctor stopped pruning the flowers and plants, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. He knew that the Eight-Faced Buddha was no ordinary person. The doctor had been his rival for many years and knew that he was not so easy to deal with.
But as a result, Eight-Faced Buddha failed with Ren Jiu. Of course, the Doctor was delighted by this news. As her rival, the Doctor couldn't have been happier for Eight-Faced Buddha to get into trouble.
Moreover, Ren Jiu was their partner. This time, Ba Mian Fo went to Hong Kong, but he didn't expect to lose everything. The doctor quickly realized this and said to Ah Long:
"The news of Eight-Faced Buddha's death should spread soon. We must seize Eight-Faced Buddha's territory before everyone else can react."
Eight-Faced Buddha has a lot of territory in Thailand because he is a big shot in Thailand. When Eight-Faced Buddha dies, many big shots and powerful figures in Thailand will definitely want to seize his territory.
The doctor planned to strike first. Since they had received the news in advance, they were sure they could be the first to grab the biggest share.
Upon hearing this, Ah Long immediately nodded: "Yes, sister, I'll take my men and get to work right away."
After finishing his sentence, Ah Long hurriedly left. The Eight-Faced Buddha territory was a lucrative opportunity, and Ah Long didn't intend to miss it.
After Ah Long left, the doctor sat in the courtyard, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then called Ren Jiu.
On the other side, Ren Jiu was lying on the sofa in the villa, watching TV and eating fruit from the fruit platter. At this moment, his underling came over and said respectfully:
"Boss, there's a phone call for you. It's from the PhD."
Ren Jiu nodded, and after answering the phone, asked, "Doctor, what's the matter?"
The doctor smiled and said softly, "Congratulations, Ninth Brother, on taking down Eight-Faced Buddha."
The doctor's words carried a hint of surprise. Ren Jiu's strength was indeed beyond her expectations. Eight-Faced Buddha was a notorious figure in the martial arts world, and she never expected that Ren Jiu could kill him.
Upon hearing this, Ren Jiu humbly replied, "It was just good luck."
After all, if the Eight-Faced Buddha were truly staying in his stronghold in Thailand, Ren Jiu would definitely not be able to deal with him.
However, since Eight-Faced Buddha had come to Hong Kong Island, he had Black Caesar Duncan and Tian Yangsheng under his command, as well as a group of elite mercenaries, who were much more powerful than the mercenaries under Eight-Faced Buddha. Therefore, Eight-Faced Buddha's death was not unjust.
Upon hearing this, the doctor naturally didn't believe it was just good luck, and after a pause, she said:
"Eight-Faced Buddha had several sons, but once news of his death spreads, other powerful figures in Thailand will vie for his territory."
"It's lucky that the remaining sons of the Eight-Faced Buddha are still alive."
After all, few of the Eight-Faced Buddha's sons were capable of standing on their own. When the Eight-Faced Buddha was alive, his fame was so great that all the powerful figures in the Kingdom of Thailand had to give him face.
But now that the Eight-Faced Buddha is dead, and his sons are incompetent, the Eight-Faced Buddha's territory is a piece of fat meat.
This is also why Ren Jiu did not expend much effort to enter the Thai Kingdom and eliminate the threat completely.
Because the Kingdom of Thailand is the home turf of the Eight-Faced Buddha, even if Ren Jiu sends more people there, it will not be easy to wipe out the remaining forces of the Eight-Faced Buddha and eliminate them completely.
The second reason is that with the death of the Eight-Faced Buddha, it is estimated that the remaining forces and personnel of the Eight-Faced Buddha may not be able to withstand the plundering by other martial arts heroes in the Thai Kingdom, so Ren Jiu did not care about the remaining forces of the Eight-Faced Buddha.
As for the Eight-Faced Buddha's men who want revenge, they'll have to survive this ordeal first.
Ren Jiu also knew that he didn't need to deal with the remaining forces of the Eight-Faced Buddha in Thailand; someone else would take care of it for him. He was afraid that the Doctor would definitely take action against the Eight-Faced Buddha this time as well.
The doctor smiled slightly: "Ninth Brother, there's one more thing. This time, I want to become the sole distributor of Thai instant noodles."
Upon hearing this, Ren Jiu realized that the doctor had helped him before, and the two had a good relationship. The instant noodles did not have a general distributor in Thailand.
Ren Jiu readily agreed: "No problem, you can just sign the contract when you come to Hong Kong Island."
Although several small agents in Thailand had previously signed contracts with Renjiu, the doctor could be made the general agent in Thailand, and these small agents could be registered under the doctor's name, but the profits would still be shared.
The doctor smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Ninth Brother."
The doctor heard that instant noodles were a huge hit in Southeast Asia, with profits no less than those from smuggling, and wanted to cooperate with Renjiu, especially since it was a legal and compliant business.
"Ninth Brother, I'll go to Hong Kong Island tomorrow to sign the contract with you."
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport."
After saying that, the doctor hung up the phone and instructed his subordinate:
"Book a flight to Hong Kong Island for tomorrow. I need to go to Hong Kong Island."
Asking for flowers
The underlings nodded quickly: "Yes."
On the other side, after Ren Jiu hung up the phone, he lazily stretched, and at that moment, Shan Ying came down from the second floor of the villa.
Ren Jiu glanced at Shan Ying's clothes; they were still made of coarse linen. Martial artists generally wear simple and conservative clothing.
When Shan Ying is at work, she wears a secretary's outfit, which is very eye-catching, but at home, she dresses more conservatively.
Ren Jiu walked up to Shan Ying, put his arm around her, and said, "How can you dress so unfashionably as my woman?"
Dan Ying blushed slightly and patted Ren Jiu's chest: "Ninth Brother will only laugh at me."
After all, at that time, the clothes worn on the mainland were indeed quite rustic, with unsightly colors, made of coarse linen, and covered in dirt.
When Shan Ying was practicing swordsmanship, she never cared about her clothes or appearance. Moreover, the clothes she wore were all dirt-resistant, tasteless, and rather unfashionable.
Ren Jiu pondered for a moment, then looked at the white-haired man on the sofa and said, "Ah Huai, go arrange a car."
Bai Mao was sitting on the sofa, eating sunflower seeds and watching TV. Upon hearing this, Bai Mao jumped up from the sofa:
"No problem, boss."
Ren Jiu patted Shan Ying's hand again and said, "Come on, I'll take you to buy clothes."
Dan Ying nodded, her face slightly flushed. After Bai Mao prepared the van, Ren Jiu led Dan Ying, Bai Mao, and a dozen or so men in black suits to Causeway Bay, the largest shopping mall on Hong Kong Island, to buy clothes.
……
The next afternoon, the doctor arrived in Hong Kong from Thailand.
At Hong Kong Island Airport, the doctor was wearing sunglasses and dressed in a rather fashionable manner, with his hair piled high and wearing an expensive formal suit with some unique Thai decorations. He was followed by a group of mercenaries.
Eight Mercedes-Benz vans were parked at the airport entrance, and Chen Guilin was smoking a cigarette by one of them as he came to pick up the PhD student.
After the doctor exited the airport, Chen Guilin walked towards him. He had met the doctor before and recognized him, and said with a smile:
"Doctor, welcome to Hong Kong Island. Our boss has already booked the presidential suite at the Hilton Hotel, and has also made dinner reservations at the Peninsula Hotel tonight to entertain you."
Upon hearing this, and glancing at the impressive entourage behind Chen Guilin, the doctor, knowing Ren Jiu's high regard for her, said with satisfaction:
"Ninth Brother is so thoughtful."
Chen Guilin waved his hand, gesturing for him to enter: "Doctor, please."
The doctor nodded, then got into the Mercedes-Benz van. The mercenaries behind her also got in and went with the doctor to the Hilton Hotel to settle their men first.
In the evening, Chen Guilin brought the doctor and his group to the Peninsula Hotel. Since the doctor's flight was in the afternoon, Ren Jiu was waiting at the Peninsula Hotel, along with Shan Ying.
Ren Jiu also bought Shan Ying a formal evening dress. The dress was light blue and adorned with a glass butterfly brooch. Shan Ying was quite beautiful, and as a martial artist, she possessed a refined air.
In addition, Shan Ying dressed up carefully, exuding elegance, and she and Ren Jiu looked like a perfect match.
Ren Jiu, dressed in a white suit, looked dashing and had a great presence. The two of them together were quite eye-catching.
Shan Ying clung to Ren Jiu's arm, completely obedient to him.
At this time, the doctor arrived at the Peninsula Hotel and met Ren Jiu.
Ren Jiu, accompanied by Shan Ying, came to greet the doctor, and said with a smile:
"Doctor, long time no see."
The doctor nodded: "Ninth Brother."
The doctor then looked at Shan Ying, and Ren Jiu introduced her, saying, "This is my girlfriend, Shan Ying."
Upon hearing Ren Jiu's introduction, Shan Ying blushed slightly, then looked at the doctor and couldn't help but laugh:
"Doctor, you are so beautiful."
The doctor squinted and replied, "Miss Sun-young, you are very beautiful too."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two went to the Peninsula Hotel for dinner. Ren Jiu had prepared a special banquet to entertain the Doctor, intending to show hospitality, since the Doctor was an important partner of his.
The next morning, both parties signed a contract in Renjiu's chairman's office regarding the general agency of instant noodles in Thailand.
Even the doctor didn't expect instant noodles to be so profitable. Ren Jiu briefly mentioned the profit margin of instant noodles, which is currently HK$4000 million in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.
This is a legitimate business, and instant noodles will expand to more countries overseas in the future. The PhD has also eaten instant noodles and knows that they taste very good.
After the contract was signed, the doctor extended his hand and said with a smile, "Ninth Brother, I really got a good deal."
