Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Two days later.

After paying the fare, Wang Feng got out of the taxi and arrived at the Repulse Bay villa area on Hong Kong Island.

Wang Feng spotted Villa No. 6 from afar. At that moment, four young men stood in two rows at the entrance of Villa No. 6, each holding a rubber baton.

As Wang Feng approached, one of the young men saw him and quickly bowed to greet him.

"Hello, Young Master Wang."

After saying that, the young man roared at the other three, "What are you all standing there for? This is Young Master Wang, he's our real boss."

"Hello, Young Master Wang."

The three of them dared not be negligent and quickly greeted Wang Feng.

Wang Feng nodded in acknowledgment, and then recognized the first young man who greeted him. This was one of the first members recruited by Ninth Master and his team, and he had even paid these people back then.

"Is Ninth Master inside?"

The young man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Young Master Wang, I'll take you in."

"Um."

Wang Feng nodded and followed the young man into the villa.

Upon entering the villa, one sees Master Jiu leisurely sitting in the living room drinking tea. Master Jiu is now wearing gold-rimmed glasses, an expensive suit, and his leather shoes are polished to a shine. He now exudes the aura of a superior, and any normal person can tell at a glance that Master Jiu is definitely a successful person or a big shot.

As soon as Wang Feng and the young man entered the villa, Ninth Master, who was drinking tea, looked over at them. When he saw it was Wang Feng, he immediately stood up and bowed to him.

"Young Master Wang, you've arrived."

Wang Feng nodded: "Come to the study."

"Yes."

Ninth Master nodded respectfully, then waved his hand, sending the young man away to continue guarding the gate.

Upon arriving at the study on the second floor, Wang Feng sat in the boss's chair, lit a Zhonghua cigarette, looked at Ninth Master standing to the side, and said, "Tell me about what has happened these past few months."

"Yes, Young Master Wang."

"After Mr. Wang left Hong Kong Island last time, I arranged for my second and third brothers to look for an office building. After that, we found a ten-story office building in Kowloon. We all know that Mr. Wang's business will definitely be big in the future. We all think this building is very suitable for our headquarters. After discussing it with my second brother and the others, I spent six million Hong Kong dollars to buy it."

"Young Master Wang, each floor of this office building is a little over 3,000 square meters. Since Young Master Wang is currently only in the jade business, I have turned the first floor into a warehouse, in addition to the guard room, the front desk and the reception room. This makes it more convenient to store and transport jade. The second floor is our company's office space, the third floor is the security training ground, and the remaining seven floors are currently vacant."

Upon hearing that a ten-story office building had been purchased, Wang Feng didn't say much. What he wanted to know most right now was how much jade and gemstones Ninth Master had acquired for him over the past five months.

"Ninth Master, how much jade and gemstones are currently in the warehouse? Also, what is our company's name? How many employees does the company have?"

After thinking for a moment, Ninth Master said, "Young Master Wang, in the past few months, we have acquired about two hundred times more jade and gemstones than last time. The company currently has more than fifty ordinary office staff and purchasing staff, but we have already recruited more than three hundred security personnel. We have investigated all of these people and they are all brave and willing to fight. In the past few months, we have also taught these people how to use guns."

Upon hearing that the amount of jadeite acquired this time was two hundred times that of the last time, Wang Feng was overjoyed. The batch of jadeite he had collected at the villa before leaving last time was not small, but it would still require about a hundred times more to upgrade the Water of Life. This time, the Water of Life would definitely be able to upgrade.

Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Wang Feng asked again, "What's the deal with those four guards outside? Who's in charge of the company now? And what's the company's name?"

"Young Master Wang, those four men are security personnel I arranged. They are responsible for protecting the villa. I arranged three shifts, six people per shift, for 24-hour protection of our villa. There are four people at the downstairs door, that's the visible ones. There are also two armed men at the upstairs windows. If anyone dares to cause trouble here, the two gunmen upstairs will immediately provide support and may even shoot the criminals dead."

This is something that Ninth Master particularly values. Wang Feng mentioned it before leaving Hong Kong Island, which is why he prepared such tight security. One of the four security guards downstairs is a veteran from before, and the gunmen upstairs are also veterans who know Wang Feng. He was afraid that if he arranged for someone who didn't know Wang Feng, the real boss, they might offend him.

This villa is where the second brother's wife and children live. If something happens here, everything will be over. He has put a lot of effort into this.

Among the six gunmen, two were Aunt Zhang's two sons, and the other four were also very loyal. It took him a lot of bullets to train these six qualified gunmen. Now, while these six men can't be said to be able to hit the target every time, they are still very likely to accurately hit the target within a range of fifty meters.

Wang Feng was very satisfied with the security arrangements made by Ninth Master. He hadn't seen the two gunmen hiding on the second floor when he entered the villa, mainly because he hadn't activated his spiritual sense.

"Go on."

"Yes, Young Master Wang, our company is called Maple Leaf Group. It was named after Young Master Wang. This was the result of our discussion. We also know that Young Master Wang's future business will definitely not be limited to jade and gemstones, so we established a group company. Currently, the company is mainly managed by Sixth Brother, who is in charge of most of the company's affairs, big and small. I am responsible for overall coordination."

Wang Feng nodded, very satisfied with Ninth Master's arrangement. He believed in trusting those he didn't trust and letting Ninth Master and his team handle matters that didn't involve his core secrets.

"Ninth Master, you've all done a great job. I'm very satisfied. By the way, has anything been settled regarding the jade mines in Myanmar?"

Hearing Wang Feng's approval, Ninth Master was genuinely pleased. However, when Wang Feng mentioned the Myanmar mines again, he frowned and said:

"Young Master Wang, now that our company is strong and well-equipped, we're not afraid of being double-crossed anymore. A month ago, I spent money to get in touch with a foreign detective. Now our company can basically get along with both the legitimate and criminal worlds. During this period, I asked many people in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and none of them have connections in Myanmar. After all, there are basically no people from there doing business in Hong Kong."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng sighed and said, "Alright, this can't be rushed. In the future, you should trade more with foreigners. The jadeite in Hong Kong is limited. Let the foreigners bring jadeite from overseas. As long as the price is not higher than the market price, you can buy as much as they bring."

"Yes, Young Master Wang, actually, most of the jade and gemstones we acquired this time were traded with foreigners," Ninth Master replied respectfully.
