However, he also had a headache about currency exchange, since black market exchange was quite risky, and this lucrative business was a bit troublesome to deal with.
When Han Bin saw Lei Hao bringing Da D back, he voiced his concerns.
Lei Hao's lips curled slightly, his smile carrying a hint of control: "Han Bin, I already have a solution for the currency exchange issue you mentioned. It's not a problem at all."
"The vegetable and meat business is the best way. You can use the RMB you earn from selling color TVs to buy vegetables and meat in mainland China, then ship them back to Hong Kong and sell them. That'll be HKD, right?"
"This way, the funds are recovered quickly and the risk is low. Moreover, the source of this money is thus legalized, so there's no need to worry about police investigation!"
He continued to drop bombshells, seemingly painting a picture of a brand new business empire, leaving everyone in awe;
"Furthermore, I will set up a company specifically to increase the sales price of color TVs through accounting tricks, thus completely legalizing these incomes and making our wealth sources clean and transparent, so we don't have to worry about being investigated by the police."
Upon hearing this, Da D, Lin Yaodong, and Han Bin all felt that the plan had potential, their eyes lit up, and they all agreed, some even eager to get started.
This is a business model that completely overturns their traditional understanding. It offers the opportunity to earn astronomical profits while simultaneously laundering one's identity—a dream come true.
Lei Hao had two purposes in trying to win over Han Bin, and he was calculating them in his mind:
First, we will expand color TV sales to make up for the annual shortage of 100 million color TVs in mainland China.
Lin Yaodong's small fleet now only produces 2 to 3 boats a year at most.
However, this business cannot last long; one must quickly seize the market and earn initial windfall profits.
That's why Lei Hao decided to bring Han Bin on board, hoping to boost sales in the shortest possible time.
Secondly, from a long-term perspective, even if they stop doing smuggling in the future, Han Bin's connections in Southeast Asia can be utilized to pave the way for Xue Wang Beverage's future expansion.
Lei Hao glanced at Lin Yaodong and Han Bin, and slowly said, "In view of your sincerity in cooperating, I have decided to give Yaodong and Han Bin 2% of Lei's Industrial shares each!"
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you, 2% of Lei's Industrial's shares are now worth HK$5000 million!"
Lin Yaodong, Lin Yaohua, Han Bin, and the dinosaur, upon hearing this number, instantly widened their eyes, their faces flushed, and their breathing became heavy.
Coming to their senses, they nodded hurriedly, their voices even trembling slightly: "Thank you, Lei Sheng! Thank you, Lei Sheng! We will follow your lead and be devoted to you even unto death!"
They knew what this wealth meant. It wasn't just money; it was a ticket to high society, a huge boost to their status and position.
Big D then added, with a hint of pride and boastfulness in his tone: "It is your good fortune to be able to join us and own shares in Lei's Industries."
"The Lei Group has already taken out a loan of HK$20 billion, which Ah Hao is personally managing to invest in futures. These shares will only become more valuable in the future. If you follow my brother, you'll never have to worry about anything for the rest of your lives!"
Lin Yaodong and Han Bin were so excited they couldn't speak; they hadn't expected such a great harvest today.
This is practically like getting on Lei Hao's chariot directly, boarding the fast track to wealth and status!
They felt as if a whole new world was opening its doors to them.
A dignified world where one can earn more wealth without having to risk one's life.
With the addition of the Han brothers, the smuggling business flourished even more.
Big D couldn't stop smiling as he watched the smuggling fleet, which used to make trips every three days, now make trips every day, and with the transaction volume increasing several times over.
Originally, Lin Yaodong and his group would transport hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars worth of vegetables and meat every three days, and take away 2-300 color TVs.
Now, the daily sales of vegetables and meat exceed one million, and the sales of color TVs have reached 800 units per day.
This means that the daily smuggling profit is close to HK$400 million, and HK$1.2 million a month is not a problem.
Moreover, the demand for color TVs and electrical meter boxes continues to rise. Even if they can't make it for more than a few years, they can still live comfortably until the end.
...
Yuen Long.
With Lei Hao's reconciliation with Dongxing, and under Camel's manipulation, several of his underlings were sent to take the blame, and Sha Meng was also released in court.
"You bastard, don't mess with Lei Hao and his gang again!" Camel scolded Sandman through gritted teeth.
Sha Meng said unwillingly, "Boss, but Lan Minghua and more than twenty others died at the hands of Lei Hao and his men. I almost lost my life too. I'm not reconciled!"
"Crack~"
Camel grabbed a stack of newspapers and threw them at Sandman's face. "Don't you read the news in prison?"
Sandman picked up the newspaper, completely bewildered, not understanding why his boss was so angry.
But when he saw in the newspaper that Lei Hao had earned HK$85 billion, his eyes widened and he roared, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could Lei Hao have earned so much money!"
After roaring, the sand bug noticed that the camel, the crow, and the smiling tiger were all staring at it with icy eyes.
This sent a chill down Sandman's spine, and he stammered, "Boss, tell me this news isn't true!"
Camel said with a disappointed look, "You can't just assume that others can't do it either because you're incompetent! Now the whole of Hong Kong knows about Lei Hao's situation."
"Logically, even in a prison where information is scarce, you should at least hear some snippets of gossip. But you know nothing at all. It seems you're having a very comfortable time in prison!"
Crow then sneered, "Sandfly, you've gotten the gang into big trouble. Unless the boss agrees to host a banquet to apologize and pay 1000 million in compensation, and they show leniency, you're probably dead!"
"What? I've caused the triad a lot of trouble? They don't sell drugs in Tsuen Wan, is it wrong for me to try and grab the market? In the end, the money I make still belongs to the triad, doesn't it?"
When the sand bug heard the crow putting a hat on its head, it hurriedly argued, its tone tinged with resentment and grievance.
He really didn't want to be scolded by Camel again, especially after hearing that the gang had ultimately lost HK$1000 million.
The organization repeatedly warned him that he should never be asked to settle the debt with them and that he must bear all the consequences.
The crow scoffed and retorted, "But in the end, you accomplished nothing and instead provoked a big shot that even Dongxing can't afford to offend! Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
Sha Meng remained unconvinced, arguing, "Lei Hao is just a man with some money; his biggest backer is Li Shutang. The police can't just act recklessly, can they? They have to have evidence!"
He oversimplified the situation and completely underestimated the true power behind Lei Hao.
Camel and Smiling Tiger shook their heads as they watched the sand bug still arguing.
They all felt that Sha Meng was being too naive, completely unaware that there were even more powerful figures hidden behind Lei Hao, whose influence far exceeded their imagination.
"Alright, stop arguing!" Camel interrupted the crow, who was about to continue mocking the sand bug, stopping this pointless farce.
He turned to Sandman and warned him coldly, "You better behave yourself and stop causing trouble! Also, tell me the location of the laundry detergent warehouse right now. Smiling Tiger and Crow will take over. This is the gang's decision!"
"What?!" The sand bug was shocked and stared at the camel in disbelief.
He never expected that as soon as he came out, Camel would take back his power and even give it to Crow and Smiling Tiger, who had always been at odds with him.
This was practically a public slap in the face! For Sandman, this was worse than death, completely stripping him of his power and dignity.
He even regretted it in his heart, thinking that if he had known he would end up like this, he would have preferred to stay in prison!
Camel stared intently at the disgruntled sand bug, and said coldly, "Tomorrow night, I'll host a banquet at the 'Honest' Restaurant to apologize to Lei Hao and Big D. After that, you'll come with me to Windmill Country to temper your character. I'll personally supervise you!"
After saying that, the camel didn't give the sand bug any chance to refute it, and left with the crow and the smiling tiger, leaving the sand bug standing alone, stunned and dumbfounded.
Sandfly felt as if his sky had collapsed, as if the whole world was crumbling in an instant.
Not only were all their powers taken away, but they were also forced to travel with camels to the land of windmills, where they would be subject to strict surveillance and completely lose their freedom.
However, facing Camel, the leader of the Eastern Star gang, he had no power to resist and could only silently endure it all.
At this moment, Sha Meng was filled with resentment towards Lei Hao and the Big D brothers, for it was these two who had dug this deep pit for him.
He wished he could tear them to pieces to vent his hatred.
Even if he has to leave Hong Kong, he will never let these two get away with it.
He had already secretly vowed to find an opportunity for revenge.
...
at the same time.
While in Tsuen Wan, Lei Hao heard a long-lost, cold, synthesized electronic voice in his mind, which invigorated him.
[Ding! Your "Kill Me?" order has been updated!]
[Order 1: Bounty offered for Ma Tianshou, posted by Bu Tonglin. Ma Tianshou, the leader of a human organ trafficking organization, brutally murdered an international female military doctor in Southeast Asia. This woman had saved Bu Tonglin's life. Reward: Bu Tonglin's sworn loyalty.]
[Order Two: Bounty on a Doctor, posted by Li Jie, a former colonel in the bomb disposal unit. Li Jie's wife and children were killed by a doctor, and he hopes to kill the doctor to avenge them. Reward: Bomb Disposal Skill.]
[Order 3: Bounty on Big D, posted by Sha Meng. Sha Meng suffered a setback in Tsuen Wan and almost ended up in Stanley Prison, therefore he hates Big D to the core. Reward: HKD 2 million.]
[Order Four: Bounty on Lei Hao, posted by Sha Meng. Sha Meng knows that Lei Hao is the mastermind behind Big D and wants to kill him to avenge himself. Reward: HKD 300 million.]
The system notification sound left Lei Hao somewhat bewildered.
The assassin orders came in four at once, two of which were directly related to him, which surprised and amused him.
Lei Hao composed himself and began to carefully browse the details of the assassin order released by the system.
He didn't immediately realize who the first bounty was for Ma Tianshou.
After all, most people who operate in the underworld of Hong Kong use pseudonyms, and if they suddenly reveal their real names, it's not certain that anyone will recognize them.
However, when Lei Hao saw that the person who issued the mission was Bu Tonglin, he suddenly realized that it referred to "Master Ma" whom Abu wanted to kill.
In his memory, the guy seemed to be hiding in a remote temple on an outlying island, so finding him shouldn't be too difficult.
If we can successfully eliminate Ma Tianshou, we can gain the sworn loyalty of the fierce general Abu, which is definitely an extremely worthwhile deal.
It's important to know that Abu possesses terrifying strength, capable of taking on a hundred opponents single-handedly, making him one of the most formidable fighters in Hong Kong films.
If one could recruit him into their ranks, it would be tantamount to obtaining an invincible blade, greatly enhancing their own strength.
Then, Lei Hao's gaze shifted to the second task.
The person who issued the mission, Li Jie, was also a ruthless character; his tragic experiences forged his strong determination for revenge.
