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

The declines today were not significantly different, but according to his prediction, there will be signs of a bottoming out and rebound in the next few days, followed by a final test of the bottom.

That was not only the last low point for Nikkei futures after the drop, but also their best opportunity to close their short positions.

There will be a two-month window of opportunity. Lei Hao needs to consider starting his business in Russia as well. He can't let his funds sit idle; he needs to make full use of this time to earn more profits.

Night fell as thickly as ink, enveloping the entire Tsuen Wan pier.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty and fishy smell, swept over me, keeping my drowsy mind alert and invigorating me.

On the dark sea in the distance, scattered lights suddenly appeared, flickering on the shimmering surface like dancing stars.

"It's here!" Longhair breathed a sigh of relief, letting down his guard. He knew the goods had finally arrived.

He immediately picked up his flashlight and shone it at the fishing boat at sea, signaling that it could approach.

After receiving the signal, the lead fishing boat, along with dozens of other fishing boats, slowly approached the dock under their lights, the roar of their engines particularly clear in the night.

As the fishing boats slowly approached the shore in the night, the dull creaking of the hulls against the dock mingled with the sound of the waves, echoing in the empty harbor and creating a unique rhythm.

Two figures stood at the bow of the lead boat; they were Lin Yaodong and his younger brother, Lin Yaohua.

Inside the hold of the fishing boat behind them, neatly stacked meat and vegetables appeared faintly in the dim light, foreshadowing the upcoming transaction.

Lin Yaodong's eyes were unusually bright. In the dim light, he remained extremely vigilant and shrewd, meticulously observing his surroundings to ensure everything was safe.

"Yaodong, why are you so late today?" Changmao asked as he looked at the Lin brothers who had come ashore, and ordered his men to start unloading the cargo immediately, racing against time.

Lin Yaodong nimbly jumped onto the pier with Lin Yaohua, shaking his head and laughing, "When we were almost to Hong Kong, we encountered patrols and had to hide on a nearby island for a while... which delayed us a bit."

Longhair nodded, indicating his understanding; this was an unavoidable risk.

He knew that the water police officers sometimes had a lapse in judgment and would suddenly change the patrol location. They had no way of knowing immediately and notifying Lin Yaodong, so Lin Yaodong had to improvise on his own.

Longhair's henchmen were well-trained and quickly stepped forward to sort and count the meat and vegetables on the fishing boat. Their movements were swift and efficient, without any hesitation, demonstrating their professionalism.

After nearly a month of training, these young men are now able to handle various situations skillfully.

The vegetables and meat piled up like small mountains on the dock were weighed, sorted, and loaded onto trucks at a visible speed.

These fresh meats and vegetables will be transported to major wet markets that have been contacted in advance, and distributed to the vendors before dawn to ensure that they are in the freshest condition for Hong Kong residents to purchase, thereby maximizing profits.

Long Hair led Lin Yaodong and Lin Yaohua to a corner where the sea breeze wasn't so strong, where a small round table and a stove had already been set up.

The table was laden with cold dishes, beer and drinks were piled up on the corner, and a pot of seafood porridge was bubbling on the stove, emitting a rich aroma that made one's mouth water.

Lin Yaodong and Lin Yaohua didn't stand on ceremony; they sat down and started drinking beer.

They've come to Hong Kong to trade with the "Long Hair" gang more than once or twice. They're all acquaintances, extremely rule-abiding, so there's no need to worry about being ripped off. The cooperation has always been very smooth.

Moreover, after staying up all night, a bowl of piping hot seafood porridge is incredibly comforting, helping to dispel fatigue and warm the body.

It took about an hour for the vegetables and meat that Lin Yaodong had brought to be counted.

A henchman approached Longhair and respectfully reported, "Brother Longhair, the total price of the vegetables and meat this time is 60!"

Lin Yaodong and Lin Yaohua exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.

After deducting fuel costs and bonuses for the young people from Tazhai, their profit from this trip exceeded 30 yuan, which made them very satisfied.

However, Lin Yaodong 557 was not satisfied with this. In addition to smuggling meat and vegetables, he had a bigger plan in mind when he came to Hong Kong. His ambitions went far beyond this.

"Brother Longhair, can you bring more color TVs this time, as we agreed last time?" Lin Yaodong asked in a low voice, his eyes full of anticipation.

With the demand for color TVs in mainland China growing stronger, Lin Yaodong raised the wholesale price from RMB 3500 per unit to RMB 4000, but the market still couldn't keep up with demand.

As Tazhai's reputation in the smuggling world spread, more and more merchants from other places came to wholesale color TVs, and their strength was far beyond what the scattered sales by the Tazhai villagers could compare with.

He transported color TVs to wealthy coastal areas and the north, where they could easily sell for 6000 to 7000 RMB each, and people were scrambling to buy them, resulting in huge profit margins.

Long Hair picked up the calculator, did some calculations, and then looked up and said, "You can take away 240 color TVs this time!"

Lin Yaodong's smile froze; clearly, this quantity was far from satisfying his appetite and expectations.

Although selling 240 color TVs would still earn him some money, it was far from his grand plan and he couldn't achieve his goal.

Fortunately, he was prepared. He took out a wooden box wrapped in red cloth from his pocket, carefully opened it, revealing several old ginseng roots of excellent quality, which emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.

"This batch of wild ginseng includes 500 grams of the highest grade, 2000 grams of the superior grade, and 10000 grams of the medium grade."

"These are all top-quality items that I recently acquired. They are definitely old enough and are rare treasures."

Lin Yaodong pointed at the ginseng, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible pride.

When Changmao saw the ginseng, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Of course, he knew it was a valuable item, priceless.

However, the value of these rare items is not a small sum of money, and he cannot make decisions on his own; he must consult with Big D.

It's too late now. If he calls now, he'll get a real tongue-lashing from Big D, who's always grumpy in the morning. He doesn't want to risk that.

Longhair thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "These are all good things, but I still need to ask the boss for permission. It's too late now, so I'll arrange for you to stay at a hotel first, and then I'll inform the boss when it's light out, and we can discuss it in detail then."

"It's alright, we're not in a hurry. We can wait until the next delivery arrives and go back together!" Lin Yaodong checked the time and understood that Changmao was right. It was only a little past 3 a.m., and it was indeed not appropriate to disturb Da D. They could only wait patiently.

With all the meat and vegetables unloaded, the young people of Tazhai took 240 color TVs back to the mainland to prepare for sales.

Lin Yaodong and Lin Yaohua were arranged by Long Hair to stay in a high-end hotel in Tsuen Wan, waiting patiently for the final result of the ginseng transaction.

This time, Long Hair was more shrewd. He knew that the mainland was vast and rich in resources, and that there were many things that wealthy people in Hong Kong needed, which represented huge potential business opportunities.

Therefore, he decided to treat the Lam Yiu-tung brothers well this time, taking them to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Tsuen Wan to express his sincerity and hope to establish a longer-term cooperative relationship.

Chapter 68 Lin Yaodong: Choice is more important than effort, I've realized it!

The hotel lobby is magnificent, with dazzling crystal chandeliers, a stark contrast to the savory and chaotic atmosphere of the dock. A subtle fragrance permeates the air, creating a refreshing and luxurious ambiance, as if one has entered another world of luxury.

The two brothers were entering such a luxurious hotel for the first time, and for a moment they felt like country bumpkins entering a grand garden.

Lin Yaohua looked around curiously, appearing as if he had never seen the world before.

Only the shrewd Lin Yaodong managed to control himself somewhat, but the slight trembling of his legs on the hotel carpet indicated that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

However, no one in the Crown Hotel dared to underestimate them, because the person who brought them there was Longhair, one of the hotel's new boss's confidants, and a person of extraordinary status.

"Brother Longhair, this is too much of a waste!" Lin Yaodong said with a sigh after checking into the deluxe double suite, looking a little embarrassed.

The two brothers were especially moved when they learned that the room cost over a thousand Hong Kong dollars a night and that Long Hair had booked three nights for them.

Although they have made a lot of money now, the two brothers, who have been afraid of being poor, are really unwilling to spend so much money on accommodation, and they still retain the habit of thrift deep in their hearts.

They preferred to stay in cheap hotels costing 100 Hong Kong dollars, even though the villagers of Tazhai previously couldn't earn 100 yuan a month!

This comparison gave them a deeper understanding of the luxury in Hong Kong.

"You're welcome. This hotel is owned by Brother Hao's company, and Brother Hao owns five hotels like this! This is nothing."

Longhair said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of pride and boastfulness.

"Hiss~" Lin Yaodong and Lin Yaohua gasped, once again shocked by Lei Hao's wealth.

They were initially pleased with themselves for making some money, but now, compared to Lei Hao, their earnings seem insignificant and insignificant.

Lin Yaodong couldn't help but gain a deeper understanding of Lei Hao's power; his background and strength far exceeded his imagination.

Lei Hao and his group acted decisively, were efficient and disciplined, and were far more professional and organized than ordinary gangs.

Lin Yaodong never worried about being cheated when doing business with Lei Hao and his team; this was a level of trust he had never experienced before.

Lin Yaodong has begun to think about how he can truly integrate into such an organization and become a core member, rather than just a collaborator.

He knew that this was the only way to greater benefits.

Long Hair told the Lin brothers to get some rest and promised to pick them up for morning tea at dawn before leaving the hotel.

After washing up briefly, the Lin brothers couldn't wait to lie down on the soft bed in the luxury room.

Their eyes were glazed over as they began to fantasize about leading the entire village of Tazhai to live the same luxurious and peaceful life they had.

As they thought about it, the two brothers fell asleep.

It wasn't until dawn, when sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains, that they slowly got out of bed.

"Brother, this bed is so comfortable!" Lin Yaohua said with a look of admiration.

He had never slept in such a soft and comfortable bed in his life, which gave him an unprecedented experience of comfort.

Lin Yaodong smiled faintly, his eyes filled with anticipation and determination: "Don't worry, we will live a truly good life in the future! This is just the beginning."

After washing up, Lin Yaodong went to the newsstand outside the hotel, wanting to buy a newspaper to pass the time and catch up on the news in Hong Kong.

"Breaking News! Breaking News! Lei Hao, the financial genius who made a staggering HK$85 billion in just half a month, is striking again, sharpening his knives for Japan!"

The newsstand owner's shouts exploded in Lin Yaodong's ears like thunder, instantly drawing all his attention and giving him a jolt.

Lin Yaodong's body trembled violently, and an absurd thought surged in his mind—could it be someone with the same name?

How can this be?

He hurriedly picked up a newspaper, his eyes landing on the front page headline, which prominently featured the name "Lei Hao" and detailed his astonishing feat of earning HK$85 billion in just half a month.

The newspaper also published some recent news about Lei Hao, including how he accurately predicted the stock market and how he wielded considerable influence in the financial markets.

This filled Lin Yaodong's eyes with disbelief, shock, and a tremendous sense of loss.

The brothers worked hard on a smuggling trip, but their profit was less than HK$100 million.

Every time, I'm on tenterhooks, afraid of being caught by the marine police or being robbed of food and drink.
