Chapter 79 Rock Security

"Miss Sandy?" Cao Tai raised his voice slightly. The pretty young woman in front of him was gripping his hand tightly. "Ah!" The woman's eyes widened slightly. "Oh, oh, I'm sorry!"

She seemed flustered for a moment, then casually tucked her hair behind her ear after letting go of Cao Tai's large hand.

"Old Hu, how's the matter with Xiahou Wu going?"

"The application has been approved, and Ms. Shan Ying's name has been added to Xiahou Wu's prison visitation record. She can schedule a time to visit him at any time."

"Will you be going with me, or will Miss Sandy go?"

"Junior sister, go ahead! Start with the simple tasks, and then handle the important ones once you're more proficient."

"Sure!" It wasn't anything important, so Cao Tai readily agreed. "Miss Sandy..."

"Mr. Cao, my Chinese name is Jiang Chong'er. You can call me Xiao Jiang or Chongchong," Sandy quickly replied.

"Uh, okay! Attorney Jiang, if you go to Stanley with Shan Ying, please help me find out about Sun Lu. I'd like to meet him. You can get his information from Lao Hu." Cao Tai lowered his voice slightly without realizing it; Meng Na was still at the front desk.

"Okay, I got it." Jiang Chong'er nodded vigorously.

One of the henchmen brought by "Mr. Cao" (Big Fool) came over.

"What is it?"

"Someone's looking for us outside," the younger brother said in a low voice.

Looking up at the club's entrance, a red-haired boy was waving and greeting people.

"Old Hu, Attorney Jiang, please make yourselves at home." After saying that, he walked towards the door.

However, as he passed the front desk, he stopped and said, "Manager Tang, when Attorney Hu and Attorney Jiang are leaving later, please give them two gold VIP cards."

Tang Xin, who was whispering with Mengna, glanced at Hu Zhiyong and Jiang Chong'er talking in the distance and nodded in response, "Okay."

Seeing Cao Taiqi about to leave, Tang Xin quickly asked, "Boss, are you leaving?"

"Um, something's come up! Find a nice restaurant for lunch to celebrate the opening with the staff, and then bring me the bill for reimbursement."

After saying that, he walked towards the door and asked the red-haired boy, "William, is something wrong?"

"Today is the opening of your new store, and the boss asked me to send over a flower basket," William Smith, Director Li Hua's assistant, replied respectfully.

"The boss is downstairs." William whispered quickly in Cao Tai's ear after he got close.

"Yes, thank you! The flower baskets are beautiful." He praised them, but his eyes were fixed on the dozen or so flower baskets by the door. Many of them had congratulatory messages written on them but no names were left. He didn't know which one was from his boss.

When Cao Tai stood in front of the elevator, William had already pressed the button before him, proving he was indeed an assistant.

"Inspector Li," Cao Tai opened the back door of a Volvo 240GLE parked on the street. Inside sat Edward Stanley, the Saigon Police Chief.

After Cao Tai was seated, the slender Li Hua greeted him with a smile.

William got into the driver's seat, and the car started moving slowly down the street.

"There's a bit of trouble with TNS. Your newly registered Pan Shi Security can acquire it, but keeping the gun license will be difficult," Li Hua said slowly, leaning back in his chair in a relaxed posture.

"Hmm?" Cao Tai waited for his explanation.

"At first, I thought TNS was a business that Chen Liming was partnering with two friends. I only got confirmation last night that they can be considered a tentacle of GU Insurance Group."

"GU Insurance Group? The largest one in the country?"

"Yes," Li Hua affirmed. "TNS was founded with the support of Teresa, the deputy general manager of GU Group's Hong Kong Island branch, and Ms. Teresa's father is one of GU's major shareholders."

That's not surprising. GU Group's major shareholder may not have the same influence in Hong Kong as large companies like Jardine Matheson and HSBC, which have been operating in Hong Kong for over a century, but its influence in Niu Niu is far greater than that of Jardine Matheson and HSBC.

After all, GU has been serving the royal family since its inception, and as the Governor of Hong Kong Island, personally appointed by the Queen to manage the territory, he would certainly not object to a small request made by a certain heiress of the GU Group.

The 12 gun licenses were probably just something Miss Teresa casually mentioned, and then the Governor's butler "unintentionally" let the Commissioner of Police overhear.

Then, the Commissioner of Police held a meeting that lasted only a few minutes, and TNS Security Company casually obtained these gun licenses.

The guess is a bit far-fetched, but for those in power, it might be simpler than imagined.

"Is it that Miss Teresa only wants to sell the TNS and not transfer the gun license?" Cao Tai asked humbly.

Li Hua gave Cao Tai a strange look: "TNS's reputation is ruined now, Teresa won't care about its fate. Even if you want to buy it, you'll have to buy shares from Chen Liming's widow and the other two shareholders, but the gun license needs to be reviewed again, and I can't influence the department head meeting for the time being."

I understand. TNS was Teresa's Waterloo, so to her it's like a piece of rotten meat—she wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. Thinking about having her help transfer the gun license after buying TNS seems like wishful thinking; she probably can't stand anyone mentioning TNS to her right now.

I'm getting a little annoyed!

"There's a way," Li Hua said quietly beside him.

"Detailed explanation"

"Introducing a strong shareholder"

"uh-huh"

"I have someone in mind. In Hong Kong, her status is much higher than that of the major shareholder of the GU Group. Of course, in Hong Kong Island, her influence over the Du Ye is far greater than that of the major trading companies."

Cao Tai sat sideways, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"Lola Fianna Stanley, my cousin, the only daughter of the current Earl of Derby, and first in line to the title." Li Hua sat up straight, his eyes shining.

"A dignified earl's heir, looking down on such a small business?" Cao Tai found it a bit strange.

After all, no matter how much Rocky Security expands, based on Hong Kong Island, it can only be a regional security group with three to five thousand employees.

Compared to those large security groups with hundreds of thousands of employees who can easily provide services for A-mei and Niu Niu, there is at least a difference of tens of thousands of miles.

"The Earl of Derby has been a powerful and prosperous family for centuries, their wealth is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!"

You, a foreigner, use idioms so well. If you didn't look at your face, you would look more like a Chinese person than a native Hong Konger.

"My cousin is a bit adventurous and doesn't really like the Earl keeping an eye on her."

Therefore, I want her to personally participate in the management of a small security company. Even if she travels all over the world in the future, she can have a few security personnel that she has personally trained following her. I think the Earl will be very pleased.

"Okay, how much of a share does Miss Lola want?" Cao Tai understood. This was the Earl's family's way of finding a place to tie down their first in line to the throne, preventing her from running around the world adventuring.

"You can try to acquire Chen Liming's shares from his widow. At the current price, they're worth about HK$600 million. After all, TNS also has a 3000-square-foot office in Central and a two-story factory building in Shau Kei Wan."

Then I'll contact Lola to acquire the remaining shares of the two minority shareholders. She'll also help with the gun licenses, and there's a possibility the police department will issue a few more.

It seems Li Hua has thought it all through.

"No problem, I'll wait for your good news." According to Li Hua, the earl's heir was just doing it for fun, so even if he gave her 40% of the shares, he could still control the company.

Besides, if you're running a security company on Hong Kong Island, you basically have to find staff from the surrounding area. So it's perfectly normal for you to just go back to your hometown and find some strong men to work for you. As long as you can recruit two or three hundred people to protect your business, you'll be fine.
