Hong Kong film: As a boss, I use money to make decisions.

No matter what problem you're solving, you must always trace it back to its source.

Why does Big D dare to openly steal my business? It's simple: because he's the most powerful person in the entire Wo Shing Wo!

Why is he the most powerful among the nine district branches of Wo Shing Wo?

The reason is simple: the large-scale development of the New Territories has allowed Big D to reap the full benefits of the era's progress.

In recent years, Tsuen Wan, as one of the first development areas in the New Territories, has seen a large influx of real estate developers.

Once you get these taps sorted out, and nourished by the soup and water leaking from between your fingers, it'll be hard for Big D not to become a big star!

He has the confidence to be arrogant and the right to crush the other branches of Wo Luen Shing.

In short, to deal with Big D, all you need to do is take down the water pipes behind him!

Big D's ruthlessness and lack of restraint do not mean that the rice bowl master behind him has no scruples.

A single word from the head of the rice bowl business is worth more than a thousand words from others.

Back on Zhihe Street, Lin Xiaoru parked the car, too lazy to go to the fruit market to sign the tickets.

He returned to his residence, poured himself a cup of Twenty-Four Flavors to moisten his mouth, and then sat down on the sofa, summoning the system panel.

"System, thoroughly investigate who Big D's major backers are!"

[Query successful. 4000 points are required to obtain this intelligence. Do you wish to pay the points to obtain the intelligence?]

"yes!"

[Points deducted successfully. Big D has the following major clients, the largest of whom is Cheng Rongguang, the owner of Rongguang Real Estate...]

After listening to the system explain this information with a blank expression, Lin Xiaoru immediately focused her attention on the boss named Cheng Rongguang.

None of Big D's financial backers are currently well-known real estate tycoons in Hong Kong.

However, it makes sense. If Big D can get on the good side of these big shots, let alone compete with the SUPP for the leadership, even Fat Tang would be crushed by him!

According to the information provided by the system, Cheng Rongguang currently has four real estate projects to be developed in Tsuen Wan, and 60% of Rongguang Real Estate's development focus is in Tsuen Wan.

If Rongguang Real Estate were to hand over these projects to others, it's hard to say whether Big D's gangs would still be able to maintain their dominance in Tsuen Wan.

In other words, no matter how much money these projects can make, Big D will treat Rongguang Real Estate like an ancestor!

Having identified her target, Lin Xiaoru no longer hesitated.

"Find out for me what fatal weaknesses we can dig into Cheng Rongguang, the kind that would make him compromise with me at any time!"

Lin Xiaoru asked this question casually.

Based on Lin Xiaoru's understanding of the system's assessment of intelligence value, the points required for this intelligence would probably be an astronomical figure.

As expected, after the system announced 3 million points, Lin Xiaoruo immediately gave up the idea.

Three hundred million points are equivalent to three hundred million Hong Kong dollars in cash, which is half the market value of Rongguang Real Estate!

With this approach blocked, Lin Xiaoru decided to try a different strategy.

"Then find out for me what urgent problems Cheng Rongguang is facing."

If threats don't work, then try the "reciprocate kindness" approach.

Furthermore, it's best not to offend such wealthy people, lest it ruin your reputation on your path to future wealth.

[Intelligence retrieval successful. This intelligence requires a payment of 1000 points. Do you wish to pay points to obtain the intelligence?]

"yes!"

Points deducted successfully. Current remaining points: 95000.

Cheng Rongguang's ancestral home is Chaoshan. He started his business by running a grain shop in Kowloon Tong in his early years and his fortunes were smooth. His biggest worry was that he only had one daughter.

Cheng Rongguang had always wanted a son to continue his family line. Half a month ago, one of Cheng Rongguang's mistresses gave birth to a baby boy at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital. The baby boy had a birthmark the size of a thumbnail on his left arm.

Cheng Rongguang was overjoyed and even distributed cash bonuses of 88 yuan to the company.

However, Cheng Rongguang's joy was short-lived. Less than two days after the baby boy was born, the infant mysteriously disappeared while still in the nursery.

Cheng Rongguang was extremely anxious and spent a total of 120 million yuan over two days investigating the baby's disappearance, but the baby's whereabouts remained unknown.

"Damn it, you can't compare people like that. Some people are only two days old and already worth over two million!"

Lin Xiaoru couldn't help but complain, and then asked the system a question.

"Then investigate the circumstances surrounding this baby boy's disappearance!"

[Query successful. This intelligence requires 80 points. Insufficient points have been detected in the host's balance, and intelligence cannot be provided to the host at this time.]

Lin Xiaoru wasn't too surprised when she heard the quote from the system.

The Chaoshan people's obsession with carrying on the family line is absolutely enough to support Cheng Rongguang in dealing with Da D for him.

Not to mention, this move would also make this rich man owe him a favor, and at a price of 800,000, it's a bargain no matter how you look at it.

However, Lin Xiaoru is troubled because he really doesn't have much cash left.

The construction of the Dongji Building nightclub will not be completed for some time, and the final payment will not be settled for a while.

As for the embezzled money that Ba La left in Xia Bai Ni, there has been no news from Hua Di yet, so it's obviously going to take some time.

I've been spending tens of thousands of yuan here and tens of thousands of yuan there lately, plus the need to expand the construction team and purchase building materials, so I don't have much cash on me.

Fortunately, the day before yesterday, Luo Dingkun paid a deposit of 66 yuan out of his own pocket to show his sincerity. This money can be considered as part of the "hush money" and part of the "security deposit".

Including this money, his total assets amounted to only a little over 800,000 yuan.

With over 800,000 yuan, if I bet it all out, I'll be able to collect the points. However, once construction begins, my cash flow will likely be even worse.

After much deliberation, Lin Xiaoru was still convinced that she absolutely had to buy this intelligence!

Compared to the more than ten million business of SOGO Jewelry, 800,000 is really nothing!

Lin Xiaoru always does things in a decisive and efficient manner.

Having made up his mind, he called Fatty Cong over that very night.

Fat Boy Chung took the lead and invited all the people from Boss Gui who were willing to work with him to a teahouse in Yau Ma Tei for a party.

The party's content was very simple, which can be summarized in two words: "giving out money!"

With Fatty Cong and his eighteen men, a total of forty people were present.

Eight bundles of gleaming gold bulls were placed on the table, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.

Many of the gangsters who went to Tsuen Wan with Big D only knew that Lin Xiaoru intended to recruit them to work for him, but they didn't understand what he meant by bringing out so much cash.

Making a shushing gesture, Lin Xiaoru sat high in the hall and slowly opened her mouth.

"I heard from Fatty Cong that many of you have families to support."

"Your boss abandoned you and ran away, owing you a lot of wages, which has made it difficult for you to make ends meet, hasn't it?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up, but since they weren't familiar with Lin Xiaoru, no one dared to say a word.

Fatty Cong, sitting next to Lin Xiaoru, was so excited that he swallowed hard.

He intended to flatter Lin Xiaoru, but when he saw Lin Xiaoru speak again, he quickly shut up.

"It's late at night, and I don't have much to say. I called you all here today for no other reason than this."

Anyone interested in working with me, step forward now, and I'll take care of things with Big D for you.

"Say hello to Brother Xiao, and everyone will get 20,000 yuan. Consider it an advance on your basic salary for the next four months!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Construction workers are always owed wages; they never get an advance on their pay from their boss.

Lin Xiaoru offered almost the top salary in their industry, and even advanced four months' worth of wages in one go?

They've survived! They've all survived!

In an instant, the tea room was bustling with people. In a short while, everyone stood up and greeted him in unison, "Hello, Brother Xiao!"

The noise was so loud that it almost alerted the PTU patrolling the next street.
