Hong Kong film: My brother, Big D, I really don't know kung fu.

This time, not only Dongguan boy, but even Big D showed an embarrassed expression.

After all, Li Shutang, who was said to be a disreputable figure in gangs, was his uncle-in-law.

If it weren't for Li Shutang secretly helping him resolve many issues over the years, he probably would have been working for the government in Stanley long ago.

In fact, the dwarf's identity was indeed beneath him in the eyes of the other shareholders of Lei's Holdings.

Even Zhou Chaoxian, who lives in Taiwan, is now trying to run for legislator and clear his name to enter politics.

However, the matter of clearing their name was completely unknown to the Big D couple, who came from shady backgrounds.

He could only look to his younger brother, Lei Hao, who had made the same request of him.

Seeing Da D's appearance, Li Shutang shook his head and then said to Lei Hao, "Hao, your older brother can't be relied on anymore. Do you have any good ideas?"

Lei Hao immediately voiced his long-held idea: "Establish a security company, select some physically fit individuals to serve as security guards, and then the protection fees can be converted into security expenses."

“Those security guards can be paid a regular monthly salary and given training to correct the bad habits of those gangs. Then they can operate under the name of a security company, and the police won’t be able to do anything to my brother.”

"In addition, we will keep a group of capable and, most importantly, loyal people to do dirty work behind the scenes. This will basically solve my brother's problem."

"That way we've settled those who are capable and hardworking. As for the others who just want to make a living, we can let them join the company and work hard. We just need to keep an eye on the big and small developments."

Li Shutang, Lei Meng, and Cai Yuanqi exchanged glances and all agreed that Lei Hao's idea was excellent.

Not only did they settle Big D's men, they also turned Tsuen Wan into an impregnable fortress.

From now on, any disturbance in Tsuen Wan will not escape Big D's notice.

At the end of the meeting, Lei Hao brought out several bottles of Romanée-Conti to celebrate.

At the same time, it also helped Li Shutang and Huang Shitong to get Robinson back the Crown Hotel.

They did not refuse this matter; it's just a matter of going through the procedures. They secretly gave it a push, which simply sped up the approval process.

This matter concerns everyone's interests, and they will secretly clean up any loose ends so that no clues are left to implicate them.

After seeing Li Shutang and his group off, Big D pulled Lei Hao aside. The two brothers had something to say to each other in private, and they didn't want their men to know.

Dongguan Boy immediately picked up the phone and dialed Jimmy Boy's number at the Pengcheng Guesthouse.

At this moment, Jimmy was drinking with Wu Yong, the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau of Shenzhen.

If he had come as Jimmy, he wouldn't have deserved such serious treatment from the director of the investment promotion bureau.

When he approached Pengcheng to propose investing there, the Pengcheng authorities had already thoroughly investigated him.

Although Jimmy is just a short mule, his Lei Group has Hong Kong financial tycoon Wong Sai-tung and senior police superintendent Lee Shu-tong as backers, making him a very worthwhile target for the mainland's united front work departments to win over.

These past few days, in addition to helping Jimmy secure a site for his garment factory so that construction could begin at any time, we've also been taking meticulous care of him.

Just as Jimmy and his friends were enjoying their drinks, a waiter from the guesthouse knocked on the door. "Excuse me, who is Mr. Li Jiayuan? A guy from Hong Kong named Dongguanzi is calling to see you!"

"Did the person on the other end of the phone say what it was about?" Jimmy put down his glass upon hearing this, his mind filled with doubt. Why would they call so late? Was it something urgent?

The guesthouse clerk shook his head: "The other party didn't say anything, they just wanted you to answer the phone."

Jimmy didn't ask any more questions, turned to Wu Yong with a smile and said, "Director Wu, I'm going to take this call!"

Wu Yong extended his hand, indicating that he should go ahead.

He shared the same thought as Jimmy: a call this late must mean there's an emergency in Hong Kong.

Jimmy went to the front desk of the guesthouse, picked up the microphone that was placed aside, and said, "Hey, Dongguan guy, what's going on in Hong Kong?"

"Something happened?" The Dongguan guy was a bit bewildered. "Nothing happened in Hong Kong. Everything went so smoothly that you can't even imagine!"

Jimmy: "..."

It seems there was a misunderstanding, and Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief.

"If nothing happened, why are you calling me so late?" Jimmy asked, voicing his doubts.

The Dongguan guy laughed heartily: "Of course I have good news to tell you!"

He stopped beating around the bush and revealed that Robinson had used his HK$21 billion hotel chain to acquire a 10% stake in Lei's Industries, while they each received a 2% stake in Lei's Industries.

"You, you, what did you say?" Jimmy was speechless after hearing this; he even thought he had misheard.

The Dongguan guy said with certainty, "Shocking, right? Let me tell you again, Brother Hao rewarded each of us with 2% of Lei's Industrial shares!"

Chapter 26 The Turmoil of the Head of Pengcheng

As someone who's been through it all, Dongguan Boy naturally understands how shocked Jimmy must be right now.

When Lei Hao mentioned at the gathering that he would reward them with shares, Dongguan Boy, Master Su, and Changmao were all incredibly excited.

He specifically called Jimmy just to see Jimmy's shocked expression.

Jimmy didn't disappoint him, even though he couldn't see Jimmy's face through the phone.

But judging from Jimmy's slurred speech, you could guess he was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Thinking of this, the Dongguan boy couldn't help but chuckle.

Jimmy could actually hear Dongguan guy laughing on the other end of the phone.

However, at this point he was no longer in the mood to argue with Dongguan boy about these trivial matters.

Because the news that Dongguan Boy had just brought him had enabled him to leap from the bottom class to the wealthy class, he didn't care even if Dongguan Boy was mocking him.

Because of the merger of Robinson Ningxia Crown Hotel, Lei's Industrial's assets, which were originally only tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, suddenly increased by 21 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Even a 2% stake is worth over HK$4200 million.

After confirming that everything was correct, Jimmy hung up the phone.

The Dongguan guy told him the good news, and let him laugh at him for a while, but why let him keep laughing?

The thought that his net worth had suddenly reached tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars made Jimmy walk back to the private room with an air of indifference.

"Mr. Li, you're having a wonderful time!" Wu Yong couldn't help but tease, looking at Jimmy's wide grin that was even harder to suppress than an AK.

"Oh, not at all!" Jimmy couldn't help but smugly say, "It's all thanks to the boss's generosity; he rewarded me with 2% of the branch company's shares!"

"Mr. Li, you've worked so hard for the company, isn't this share a bit too little?" When Wu Yong and the key members of the China Merchants Group heard that they only had 2% of the shares, and that it was only for a branch company, they were at a loss for words.

In their view, how much is a branch office worth?

With such a small number of shares, they're practically worthless, probably only worth a few tens of thousands of yuan at most!

Jimmy saw the expressions on Wu Yong's and his men's faces and naturally understood what they were thinking.

Many businessmen from Hong Kong who come to Shenzhen to open factories only register companies with a value of one or two million yuan.

Then they acquire land locally for free or at a low price, take out loans to operate the company, and it can be said that apart from putting up some money at the beginning, the rest of the game is all about getting something for nothing.

However, the local government also supports it, because once the factory is set up, it will not only create more jobs, but also generate foreign exchange revenue.

So this is a win-win situation for both sides.

Jimmy came to Shenzhen and used the same tactics, which is why Wu Yong and his group thought that way.

Not wanting to be misunderstood as his boss Lei Hao being stingy, he immediately said, "It's not bad. I don't dare to dream of shares in the head office, but the branch company Lei's Industrial has just integrated the Crowne Plaza chain hotels in Hong Kong, and its market value has now exceeded HK$21 billion. My 2% share is worth more than HK$4000 million!"

After saying that, Jimmy picked up the glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, then started eating the food in big mouthfuls.

Wu Yong specially ordered the stewed soft-shelled turtle for him, and it was quite delicious!

"Hiss~" Wu Yong and the others gasped.

They never imagined that Jimmy would acquire shares in the branch office worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

That was something they could never have imagined in their entire lives.

Moreover, if the branch offices have assets worth billions, then the assets of the head office must be incredibly large!

Once he came to his senses, Wu Yongchao gestured to the key members of the investment promotion bureau, urging everyone to raise their glasses and launch a full-scale attack on Jimmy.

Jimmy was in high spirits and accepted every toast offered, but before long he was knocked under the table by the seasoned veterans of the China Merchants Group.

Wu Yong had someone take Jimmy back to his room, then ran off to report the situation to Mayor Liao Yaohui...

"The information you reported is very important, and I will verify it as soon as possible." Liao Yaohui did not expect that sending Wu Yong to entertain Jimmy would bring an unexpected surprise.

He understood that Wu Yong had come to see him so late because he wanted him to use his connections to verify what Jimmy had said.

Talk is cheap; neither Liao Yaohui nor Wu Yong are people who can be easily fooled by a few words.

If verified, it would prove that the forces behind Jimmy have immense value in winning him over.

The more significant their influence in Hong Kong, the more important they will be in maintaining stability in Hong Kong after 1997.

In front of Wu Yong, Liao Yaohui picked up the phone and dialed a Hong Kong number: "Uncle Shen, are you resting?"

His humble demeanor almost made Wu Yong think he had mistaken someone for someone else.

When did Liao Yaohui, the usually stern mayor of Pengcheng City, become so amiable?

"Hey kid, what's up?" Shen Lei, the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong correspondent, was just about to rest when he received a call from Liao Yaohui.

He understood that Liao Yaohui wouldn't contact him so late at night unless it was something urgent.

"Uncle Shen, how much do you know about Lei's Industrial and its parent company?" Liao Yaohui asked respectfully.

After searching his memory for relevant information, Shen Lei slowly said, "Lei's Industries, they have indeed been making quite a stir in Hong Kong recently. Why are you asking about this?"
