Hong Kong: Black Gold Tycoons

Chapter 25 More Money

In the coffee shop.

Yako was having coffee with Cyril, who was dressed up.

Cyril praised, "You've done a great job this time; we've successfully captured a batch of weapons."

"So I can resign now?" Yako asked.

During this period, she was extremely busy helping Chen Fei set up his company.

First, they acquired two bankrupt investment banks and trading companies, and then moved these two companies into the new company.

They also moved the magazine office that was vandalized yesterday to the same office building.

The company has over a hundred employees.

It finally doesn't look so shabby anymore.

Although there was no fighting or killing involved, the process of integrating these matters kept me incredibly busy.

He always wanted to shirk his responsibilities.

Cyril shook his head and said, "Not for now, because there are too many suspicious points in this case. You still need to follow this line. The Hung Hing people insist that they don't know anything, and Chiang Tin-sang would rather die than admit it. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be faking it."

He was right. Ya Zi also knew that those standard weapons were definitely not something Hung Hing could have, because local triads generally didn't touch such hot potatoes.

Even if Jiang Tiansheng is arrogant, he wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

Therefore, the origin of the weapon is highly questionable.

After the magazine office was vandalized by Hung Hing yesterday, Chen Fei immediately led his men to the office without saying a word. He first threatened Chiang Tin-sang with a bomb, dared to ask for 300,000 in compensation, and finally managed to escape unscathed.

Then Hung Hing was found to be involved in arms dealing; the whole thing unfolded too smoothly.

How could it be such a coincidence that Chen Fei saw it?

Could it be... that Chen Fei planted this batch of weapons himself?

The moment the thought popped into her head, Ya Zi was startled.

Although Chen Fei acts erratically and doesn't seem like a law-abiding person, he just gave me five million to manage the company, determined to build up the Black Gold Group. Why would he take such a big risk to smuggle standard weapons and frame Hung Hing?

Jiang Tiansheng had no reason to hide so many standard-issue weapons and seek his own death, and the police could not fabricate evidence out of thin air.

Although Cyril, that damned foreigner, was greedy for credit, he didn't have the guts to hoard standard-issue weapons and frame the gang. Besides, the Flying Tigers were there to witness the whole thing, so the evidence was irrefutable.

"These weapons are all active-duty military equipment. They were either smuggled in from Southeast Asia or smuggled out by someone who had connections with the military. So now we need to uncover this line."

Cyril continued, "Your partner is crucial. To be honest, I suspect he framed Jiang Tiansheng, but there's no evidence whatsoever."

"Okay, I'll continue to investigate." Ya Zi thought for a moment and said, "However, I'm worried that I won't be able to get close to his inner circle in a short time. I need you to give me the green light in some matters so that I can gain his trust more easily."

Cyril replied without hesitation, "OK, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ya Zi had already thought of her terms and spoke directly:

"First, Black Gold Group has just integrated investment banking and trading companies, which involves compliance reviews of many old businesses. We need to ask the industrial and commercial and financial regulators not to be too strict and to turn a blind eye. Chen Fei is currently most concerned about whether the company can operate smoothly. If I help him solve these problems, he will trust me and let me get involved in the core business."

Cyril nodded: "That's easy. I'll take care of the compliance review. As long as you don't touch weapons or commit serious violations, no one will bother you. Anything else?"

"Secondly, the investment bank needs to handle some merchants and financial transactions, which inevitably involves audits. You should have someone give you a heads-up beforehand." Ya Zi mentioned the second condition. "Don't wait until the auditors come to the door and then have me find someone to coordinate. That might arouse Chen Fei's suspicion."

"Alright, I'll have my men notify you before checking the accounts." Cyril raised an eyebrow. "Any other requirements?"

"Third, the Black Gold Trading Company is about to ship a batch of goods, which involves cross-border customs clearance, and there may be a joint inspection by customs and the police."

Ya Zi continued, "Could you help me coordinate to ensure this batch of goods passes inspection smoothly and doesn't delay the construction period? Chen Fei invested five million, and we absolutely cannot afford any business mishaps, lest he remove me as general manager."

"Cross-border customs clearance?" Cyril thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "OK, I'll talk to customs and mention the Black Gold Group's name. They'll give us priority clearance and won't conduct any special checks."

"Finally, the company just moved to a new office building. The magazine office was vandalized before, and Chen Fei is worried that people will come to cause trouble again."

Yako added, "Have the local police station assign two more people to patrol near the office building. They don't need to provide overt protection, just keep an eye on things discreetly. Don't let irrelevant people cause trouble and disrupt the company's normal operations."

All of her demands were aimed at stabilizing the company's business and gaining Chen Fei's trust.

Cyril smiled and said, "You are a truly qualified Royal Police officer. You have adapted to this role in such a short time and thought things through for the company. Okay, I will take care of these four things for you. But remember, once you find any evidence related to Chen Fei and the arms case, you must tell me immediately."

"OK." Yako stood up. "I have something to do and need to go back to the company to handle some business. I'll contact you if I hear anything."

Cyril waved his hand: "Go ahead, but be careful not to let your partner see through your plan."

As soon as Ya Zi returned to the company, the employees greeted her warmly.

Good morning, Mr. Le.

"Hello, Mr. Yue."

"Mr. Yue..."

Ya Zi smiled and nodded in response.

Just as I sat down in the office, my secretary came to report on my work and handed me an envelope: "Mr. Le, this is from the boss."

Is it some new business again?

Ya Zi tore it open to examine it; the handwriting on the document was Chen Fei's, strong and vigorous, easily recognizable at a glance.

I only wrote a few sentences: Establish a secret department for the magazine "Black Gold". It will not be made public and will be independent of the magazine's regular operations. It will be dedicated to gathering information. You will personally select the personnel. There is no budget limit. We only care about the results. Give me a preliminary list and plan within three days.

Ya Zi closed the file, her mind racing. She needed to get involved in this secret department; only then could she be considered to have entered the core business.

After thinking it over for a while, he quickly came up with a preliminary plan.

He sighed again. Boss Chen Fei had gone to the TVB film studio, while he had to rack his brains here to deal with the company's affairs.

No!

We need to make him pay more!

At the same time, he cursed Chen Fei, that unscrupulous boss, in his heart.

"Achoo, achoo..."

Chen Fei sneezed several times as soon as he entered the TVB set.

He wiped his nose with a tissue, not paying much attention, and greeted Xie Xian and the others first.

With Xie Xian acting as a go-between among the band members, Deng Guangrong and the others greeted Chen Fei with smiles.

Although Chen Fei wasn't particularly interested in them, he still smiled broadly for Xie Xian's sake, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with him.

At this moment, Xie Xian is also filming the TV series "Legend of Wuhua" from the series "Chu Liuxiang". He plays the role of Yidianhong, a killer from the Central Plains, and he has already put on makeup.

Because filming was about to begin, after a brief exchange of pleasantries with Chen Fei, the staff of "yes!" began the interview.

As a professional journalist, Lok Wai-ching also stayed on site to keep track of the pace.

Chen Fei wandered around the set, looking here and there.

Suddenly a voice came.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Turning around, I saw Zhao Yazhi, who was now dressed up as Su Rongrong.

Seeing that no one was around, Chen Fei lowered his voice and said, "I missed you, so I came to see you."

"Ugh, don't talk nonsense, lest someone overhears you." Zhao Yazhi rolled her eyes at him.

That look in his eyes is really captivating.

Chen Fei added, "Come to my house tonight in this costume, and I'll teach you the Finger Flicking Technique."

"What kind of finger-flicking magic do you possess?"

"Why can't you do it again? Last time you flicked it, weren't you so excited you were shaking all over and even squirting water?"

Zhao Yazhi's face instantly turned red. "I hate you! It hurts..."

Chen Fei wanted to try it out himself, but then they called for work to begin, so he could only tell Zhao Yazhi, "Remember to wear this costume. I'll be waiting for you at home."

……

A little over an hour later, Yes! completed exclusive interviews with Xie Xian, Adam Cheng, Zhao Yazhi, and the Silver Mouse Band, among others.

Chen Fei didn't want to stay and disturb the filming, so he returned to the company with Yue Huizhen.

I had only been sitting in the office for less than five minutes.

Yako, who was going out to discuss business, had someone deliver documents to her. The documents concerned the establishment of a secret department and the current business situation of the company.

Personnel selection, renting concealed office locations, establishing confidentiality rules, screening targets, budgeting, etc.

Chen Fei looked at it from left to right before finally managing to decipher two words between the lines.

Send me the money!

Looks like I'll have to go out and make money again.

Deposit $1000 and view the [Situation Diagram].

After careful consideration, I finally selected my target...
