It's unclear how those wealthy people learned about Cai Yuanqi's acquaintance with Lei Hao, but he also received many similar calls asking for help.

These people all had powerful backgrounds, and Cai Yuanqi knew he couldn't afford to offend them, so he simply left his office and hid at Li Shutang's place, hoping to find some peace and quiet.

Unexpectedly, Li Shutang's situation was equally chaotic, with even more people seeking his help.

Seeing that Cai Yuanqi was lingering and wouldn't leave, Li Shutang stopped saying anything to him and instead said, "It's good that Ahao is going to Japan. It's good for him to lay low over there so that people won't keep coming to our door and making things difficult for us."

Cai Yuanqi wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Yes, everyone is excited right now. Once this heat dies down, our lives will be a bit more peaceful."

None of them brought up the matter of asking Lei Hao to help the wealthy individuals seeking investment opportunities.

Because they all knew in their hearts that having Lei Hao help those people was actually giving away their rightful share of benefits to others.

They weren't so kind as to be philanthropists; after all, what Lei Hao was leading them in was a massive business that would bring in hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in profits every year.

The small favors and benefits others might offer are utterly insignificant compared to the enormous profits that are about to be made in this business.

……

The Financial Tower in Central.

Huang Shitong hung up the phone wearily; this was the Nth similar request he had received that day.

For the first time, he felt somewhat trapped by his own actions, regretting his haste in revealing that Lei Hao had earned over 100 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Sima Xiang sat opposite Huang Shitong and couldn't help but complain, "Shitong, I really don't understand why you had to expose this? Not only did it bring you no benefit, but it also made you look so pathetic. You just asked for trouble!"

Sima Xiang complained about Huang Shitong because he had also received many calls asking him to help contact Lei Hao, which annoyed him just as much.

The landlords' association raised HK$20 billion and doubled their profits in less than a month. After deducting Lei Hao's share, they still made HK$18 billion.

With such astonishing profits, how could it not make other people who crave wealth envious and eager?

Huang Shitong was in a difficult position at this time. The reason he took the initiative to expose the earth-shattering fact that Lei Hao had earned HK$160 billion in six months was because of this.

The underlying purpose was to support Lei Hao's publicity campaign and pave the way for his upcoming major business plans.

Because they are about to launch a groundbreaking VCD product, by giving Lei Hao a huge amount of exposure, they can naturally push the VCD to the market at the right time and carry out large-scale publicity.

After all, with an investment genius like Lei Hao personally creating a product, who wouldn't want to see what functions it has?

Besides those VCD players, there was also the epoch-making Walkman that Lei Hao mentioned, which would attract countless young people around the world.

What young person in the world wouldn't want a device that they can carry around and listen to music anytime, anywhere?

Compared to the harassing phone calls he's currently facing from all sides, his real goal is for the VCD business to get on track quickly and expand rapidly.

When Sima Xiang saw Huang Shitong fall silent, he felt that something was wrong with him, as if he was doing something behind his back.

However, since Huang Shitong was unwilling to talk about it, Sima Xiang had no way to force him to investigate and could only suppress his doubts for the time being.

……

At the headquarters of Quanxing Society.

"Fengyi, is Ahhao really worth HK$160 billion now?" Wang Dong asked with a tone of surprise and uncertainty.

Although he had benefited from Wang Fengyi's influence last time and had the opportunity to observe Lei Hao and his team's trading activities in the HSBC VIP room, he was also aware that Lei Hao had made a lot of money.

But when he first heard the astronomical figure, he was still quite shocked.

Wang Fengyi stated definitively, "This news is definitely true. HK$18.5 billion has already been deposited into Lei's Industrial's account!"

Wang Dong couldn't help but marvel at how heroes emerge from among the young, but if word got out, many people would probably try to take advantage of him.

Before long, the uncles from Quanxing Society arrived one after another in meeting room 573.

He Shichang spoke first, saying, "Uncle Dong, the news reported that Lei Hao has made a lot of money. If he's eating meat, can our Quanxing Society at least have some soup too?"

Seeing Lei Hao's astonishing ability to make money, He Shichang was extremely envious. He no longer cared about his previous jealousy of Lei Hao and was determined to get a share of the big pie in futures investment.

Upon hearing He Shichang's words, the other uncles also spoke up.

They all chimed in, urging Wang Fengyi to put in a good word for them, hoping that Lei Hao could lead their Quanxing Society to prosperity.

Seeing everyone's reckless and eager-for-quick mentality, Wang Dong and his daughter Wang Fengyi's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.

Wang Dong's eyes turned cold, and he slammed his hand heavily on the table, making a loud "bang" that silenced everyone present.

Wang Dong coldly scanned everyone present, his gaze finally settling on He Shichang, his tone icy and full of warning:

"You'd better think carefully about your own capabilities!"

Chief Superintendent Lee Shu-tong of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) is his uncle-in-law; Commissioner Raymond of the Central Police Station is his cousin.

“You may not be familiar with Raymond, but you must be familiar with the name of his father-in-law, former Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Tsang Pak-han, right?”

As Wang Dong revealed Lei Hao's extensive background, everyone present was so frightened that they dared not even breathe.

Even He Shichang, who had always regarded Lei Hao as a thorn in his side, was so frightened that he trembled and could not speak.

Having Li Shutang, the O-Division chief commander who specifically targets their gang, as Lei Hao's uncle is already frightening enough.

Little did anyone expect that Lei Hao's cousin's father-in-law was actually the former Deputy Secretary for Administration.

Although he has retired, the connections of such a powerful figure are far more formidable than they could have imagined.

He Shichang swallowed hard, his tone tinged with confusion: "But if the Lei family has such a powerful background, why does Big D want to join a gang?"

Wang Dong snorted coldly, his tone filled with disdain for He Shichang: "This is how those big families play the game! Whether it's politics, business, or the underworld, they all need to have their own people to ensure the family's interests."

"However, Big D almost went too far and caused a lot of trouble, so Lei Hao cleaned up the mess for him and tried his best to help him get rid of his gang affiliation."

"Otherwise, Big D will be abandoned by them. So do you think the forces behind Lei Hao would allow a burden like our Quanxing Society to become a drag on their business?"

"If you dare to have any crooked thoughts, you will immediately face a thunderous strike from the powerful force behind Lei Hao! At that time, you won't even know how you die!"

Wang Dong's words were full of warning. As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good advice. If they insist on courting death, Wang Dong will not stop them.

"We dare not, we dare not! Uncle Dong, we will never dare to do it again!" He Shichang and the other uncles of the Quanxing Society were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and they hurriedly expressed their determination.

Wang Dong and his daughter Wang Fengyi, not wanting to witness their disgraceful behavior any longer, got up and left the company, leaving the terrified elderly members of the Quanxing Society in the conference room.

Chapter 88 Arrival in Japan, a Test from Kusakari Ryo

After arranging everything in Hong Kong.

Lei Hao then boarded a flight to Japan with his advisor Su, Dongguan Boy, Abu, and Fat Mantis.

When the plane landed smoothly at Tokyo Narita Airport, night had completely fallen. Tokyo's night was even more bustling and dazzling with neon lights than Hong Kong's, a truly radiant spectacle.

Zhou Chao first took a plane from Taiwan and arrived in Tokyo before Lei Hao.

He didn't rush to leave the airport, but waited for Lei Hao's arrival outside the airport with Kusakari Ryo, the adopted son of Kusakari Kazuo, the sixth generation leader of the Yamada Group.

At the airport exit, Kusakari Akira, dressed in a sharp suit, wore a formal smile, appearing respectful and polite, with every gesture displaying the unique etiquette of the Japanese.

Zhou Chaoxian, on the other hand, had a nonchalant demeanor, a cigar dangling from his mouth, but his sharp eyes scanned the crowd, revealing his arrogant and unruly nature.

Because of Kusakari Ryo's accompaniment, even when the Japanese police saw Zhou Chaoxian smoking in public, they dared not easily approach him to cause trouble.

When Zhou Chaoxian saw Lei Hao appear, he immediately went up to him and gave him a firm hug, showing their brotherly affection.

"Ah Hao, I've been waiting for you for ages! Tokyo is such a 'passionate' place!"

Zhou Chaoxian's voice carried a hint of mockery. He knew perfectly well that in addition to ordering the VCD production line, Lei Hao had another important purpose: to open an adult film company here.

At this moment, Kusakari Akira stepped forward and greeted him in his broken Mandarin: "Rayo, welcome to Tokyo!"

Because Zhou Chaoxian had proposed marrying Kusakari Nanako to Lei Hao as a form of political alliance, Kusakari Ryo, who secretly loved Kusakari Nanako, harbored deep hostility towards Lei Hao.

But deep down, I feel a sincere admiration for what Kusakari Ryo has achieved.

The Japanese are a very complex, even psychologically distorted, people. They are obsessed with trivial matters but lack great virtues, value minor details but disregard shame, fear power but are ungrateful, and when they are strong, they inevitably become bandits and thieves, and when they are weak, they are obsequious.

Moreover, Lei Hao was fully aware of Kusakari Ryo's hidden ambitions.

He greeted Kusakari Ryo discreetly, then followed Zhou Chaoxian into the car that had come to pick him up.

As soon as the car started, Zhou Chaoxian affectionately put his arm around Lei Hao's neck, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of reproach, "Hao, last time you came to Hong Kong, you didn't tell me that you were so good at futures trading!"

Lei Hao raised an eyebrow in surprise: "You only found out now? It's been reported in the news several times before, and everyone in Hong Kong knows about it."

"How dare you say that!" Zhou Chaoxian said irritably, "I've been busy expanding my business in Japan, how could I possibly know so much about what's going on in Hong Kong!"

Lei Hao gave Zhou Chaoxian a deep look, too lazy to expose his lie.

Lei Hao knew perfectly well that Zhou Chaoxian's previous trip to Japan was mainly to expand his own gambling machine business and to purchase gambling machines to ship back to Taiwan.

For Lei Hao, helping him build connections and expand Xuewang Beverage's business was just a side effect.

Lei Hao sighed and said with feigned helplessness, "Cousin, you only see that I made money, but you didn't see that I almost capsized in the gutter."

"What happened?" Zhou Chaoxian asked anxiously.

The news will only report how much money Lei Hao made; the twists and turns and risks involved will never be publicized.

Lei Hao then recounted in detail the harrowing experience of how, because he was simultaneously managing accounts for Lei's Industrial, the Landlord Association, and HSBC, the amount of short positions he held was so large that he almost couldn't clear them out successfully.

"That was really close!" Zhou Chaoxian exclaimed after hearing the story, and never mentioned again the matter of having Lei Hao manage his futures trading.

He also knew that investing in futures involved using high leverage, which was why extremely high returns could be achieved.

However, high returns also mean high risks. No one can guarantee that they will always make money, especially in the ever-changing financial market.

Moreover, Lei Hao has already taken over the management of Lei's Industrial's funds, and Lei's Holdings, which he owns, owns 70% of Lei's Industrial's shares.
