Hong Kong variety show: From a lowly 49-year-old to the world's richest man

Chapter 92 Lin Yaodong and Liu Tianye

The next two days were peaceful in the martial arts world, and Chen Fan did not cause any trouble.

Tony and his two companions are still waiting for Ah Shan to find his target before they can begin tracking him.

Chen Fan was actually quite dissatisfied with Ah Shan, this good-for-nothing. He was someone who had made it big, so why was he so stupid?

Not only were they scammed by the Tony brothers, but they also couldn't find anyone to help them, wandering around aimlessly like headless flies.

No wonder Tony and his gang made fun of him; he's such a loser in this world, he only deserves to be bullied.

It's worth mentioning that Zhu Tao was arrested these past two days. The evidence he stored on his office computer was so explosive that it landed him a life sentence.

With the case solved, Huang Bingyao naturally took the credit, while the remaining benefits went to the Central Police Station. However, this commotion immediately put Lin Leimeng and Dong Biao in a bad position.

It's certainly a good thing that Zhu Tao was sent to Stanley, but our Central Police Station has been working so hard for so long and only got a little bit of profit. It's really a bit of a loss.

Chan Ka-kui, who had been reassigned to the Sha Tau Kok Police Station, was reinstated and returned to the Central Police Station as a police sergeant.

Yes, I got a first-level injury.

But before he could enjoy his happiness for even a day, Chan Ka-kui was pulled back from his post after chasing a thief, which caused multiple vehicle collisions and paralyzed the streets.

It is a police sergeant experience card.

Of course, Wen Jianren, the corrupt policeman who was bribed by Zhu Tao, was also arrested. Zhu Tao not only stored evidence of the bribery in his computer documents, but also a clear surveillance video.

After reading the news report and learning the details of the case from Cao Dahua, Chen Fan could only sigh: people cannot rely too much on high technology.

Storing criminal evidence on a computer is so outrageous it's mind-boggling.

Well, what's even more thought-provoking is that the Central Police Station actually forgot about the computer part in their evidence collection. This isn't just an oversight; it's a serious dereliction of duty.

That day, Chen Fan received a call from Da Sha saying that Lin Yaodong and Liu Tian had also arrived.

"Brother Fan, this is Lin Yaodong, whom I told you about, and this is Liu Tianye."

Da Sha first pointed to a lean and capable young man on the left and introduced him.

The young man looked very similar to Uncle Dong in Chen Fan's memory, except that he was still very young and his skin was a bit darker. This was understandable, as it was normal for people who made their living by the sea to have darker skin.

Liu Tianye looked a bit younger than Lin Yaodong, but he also looked more rustic. With his bowl cut and coarse cloth shirt, he looked like a simple rural youth.

"Both of them are ambitious young people who want to make a lot of money steadily and lead the village to prosperity."

After introducing Chen Fan, Da Sha introduced the two men: "Yao Dong, Xiao Ye, this is Brother Fan, the most powerful leader of Hung Hing, a well-known figure in the underworld."

"Brother Fan, hello! I've heard so much about you, it's an honor to meet you today."

Lin Yaodong was the first to react and reached out his hand.

He had heard rumors about Chen Fan, but he never expected to meet him in person at this event.

"It's all empty fame; these days, what matters is what you have in your pocket."

Chen Fan smiled and shook hands with the two of them.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group sat down at the dining table at Da Sha's invitation.

The food and drinks were plentiful, including steamed grouper, typhoon shelter-style stir-fried crab, salt and pepper flounder, and cheese-baked lobster—a table full of seafood, clearly demonstrating the saying "those who live near the mountains eat from the mountains, and those who live near the sea eat from the sea."

After several rounds of drinks...

"Both of you have a foundation in your own villages. I won't keep you in suspense any longer. The North is a huge market with great potential, so I need locals to act as my spokespeople and help me run my business."

We have more than a dozen cargo ships, and recently ten medium-sized fishing boats have also been put into operation. I'm sure Da Sha has mentioned this to you.

Buying and selling home appliances is just the first type of business. This industry has certain risks. If you are willing to do it, we can give you 10% of the profits.

If you don't want to do this line of work, you can also get the villagers involved in greenhouse farming and animal husbandry. I'll provide technical and financial support, and all the products will be transported to Hong Kong Island for sale. I'll pay you a salary of 300 a month. However, I also have requirements for agricultural products. If they meet the standards, we can continue our cooperation; if the quality is too poor, I will terminate the cooperation to cut my losses.

Besides these two options, there is also papermaking and printing. I will invest in a recycled paper production facility in your village and set up a printing plant. The employees will be paid wages, and the two of you who manage the plant can also share 10% of the profits.

These are just the first batch of investments; there will be other investments in the future. However, I'm a very cautious person and only do business with acquaintances. I approached you because Da Sha strongly recommended you.

Chen Fan has a very clear plan for his initial investments.

The garment factories are still in stable production, and their foundations are not yet secure, so it's not advisable to make any rash moves. Besides, Chen Fan doesn't have that much money to acquire land in the north to build large factories, and even if he did, people might not approve it.

In the movie, Jimmy just wanted to go north to invest and develop projects, right?

As a result, the big leopard made him so badly that he wasn't even allowed to put on shoes when he entered the door, and he was forced to sit in the dragon head position. The honest man was turned evil by this.

Chen Fan didn't want to end up as destitute as Jimmy in the movie. As long as his value didn't exceed that of being the head of a gang, he wouldn't be foolish enough to go to the north to make investments himself and find a spokesperson who would turn a blind eye for the sake of foreign exchange.

Having a Hong Kong businessman identity is still useful. Chen Fan only needs to have Da Sha choose two of his men to register as legal representatives, and everything will be fine.

Lin Yaodong and Liu Tian didn't think much of it and said in unison, "Brother Fan, we came here to find a way to make money and benefit our hometown. We'll work with you!"

"Very good. You two can split the costs of home appliances, aquaculture, and planting equally. As for the paper mill and printing plant, you can decide for yourselves. You'll get your share of the profits."

Big Fool, arrange for a few of your underlings to go back with them and set up companies as Hong Kong businessmen to make investments. This will make things easier for you. If you need any favors or favors, just tell Big Fool, and he will take care of everything.

"You can come back to me with the relevant technologies for large-scale breeding and planting once you've mobilized the villagers. These two investments require time and manpower, you should understand that, right?"

A monthly salary of 300 yuan is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for villagers in rural areas, where the average wage is only a dozen yuan. If they work for 300 yuan for a few years, they can definitely become a millionaire before 1990.

Hong Kong Island is a small place with a large population. In the future, most of its agricultural and sideline products will have to be imported. Controlling this industry is equivalent to controlling the lifeline of the entire Hong Kong. If done well, even the Governor of Hong Kong will have to consider his opinion if he wants to eat some vegetables.

The bigwigs in the home appliance smuggling business have many ships at their disposal. Even if they only mobilize a few ships to transport goods, they can still have a certain impact on the home appliance markets in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. If they want to maximize profits, they can only open up new markets, and Haifeng and Lufeng are good places to do so.

You can earn a lot of money by making a few trips, but it's quite difficult to exchange RMB for HKD. HKD is considered foreign exchange there, and foreign exchange is scarce, making it difficult to exchange money and get your money back.

Chen Fan's idea was to set up a farmers' market to collect goods, exchange his RMB for other resources, and bring them back to Hong Kong to resell, forming a chain that would gradually snowball.

The farmers' market cannot be built overnight. At the very least, we need to wait until Lin Yaodong and Liu Tian gain a certain degree of influence in their village. The ideal scenario would be for the two villages to work together to develop it. After all, there are many idle thugs and hooligans in the north now. Controlling the pricing of the farmers' market would be equivalent to finding a small gold mine.

Ordinary farmers' markets are free markets, and the bullied vegetable farmers can only swallow their anger when they are extorted by thugs. However, the villagers of two villages work together, especially in a village like Tazhai where clan values ​​are strong. If thugs dare to cause trouble, they will be beaten up. If someone dies, the elderly will take the blame, and the village will be unable to be selected.

After weighing the options, Liu Tian said, "Brother Fan, I want to start a printing factory."

While paper mills are highly profitable, they also cause serious pollution. He doesn't want Longwan Village to change. The printing plant is alright; if properly controlled, it won't pose too much of a threat.

"Since Brother Liu has said so, then I'll shamelessly take advantage of the situation and set up the paper mill first. Next time Brother Fan has business, you can choose first."

Lin Yaodong had some education and knew that paper was very expensive these days.

Recycled paper is simply waste paper that has been recycled and remanufactured. It has a lower cost than regular paper, so the profit margin is naturally higher.

"Great, from now on we're all family, let's make money together, and I hope you'll always stay true to your original aspirations."

""

Chen Fan picked up a glass of wine and toasted the two of them.

Both of them have their own ambitions. He is not afraid that they are ambitious, but he is afraid that they cannot see the situation clearly.

He can choose a spokesperson, and he naturally has the ability to replace them.

If you obey, you'll have food to eat; if you don't, you might end up as a gang leader and get shot, and you might even implicate your fellow villagers.

Uncle Dong even pays attention to quality when selling noodles, so he shouldn't make any stupid mistakes. Liu Tian also has weaknesses, so he's easy to control.

If his ambitions become too great and out of control, Chen Fan has a reason to say that he doesn't eat beef, but that cutting off someone's bottom is addictive.

During this period, Chen Fan emptied the coffers of countless people, and the pleasure he felt was simply unparalleled.

After a satisfying meal, Chen Fan asked Da Sha to find a car to take Lin Yaodong and Liu Tian to Chai Wan.

Why go to Chai Wan?

Now that both of them are on board, it's natural that we need to make arrangements for them.

One should not show favoritism!

If Dongguan Boy, Jimmy, and Cao Dahua have the same benefits, how could Lin Yaodong and Liu Tian be left out?

On the way to the hospital, Chen Fan contacted Ma Wangjian to arrange some good food for the two of them so they could have a good time.

Watching the car carrying the two drive away, Chen Fan looked at Da Sha and instructed him, "Da Sha, arrange for your underlings to act as their legal representatives, and find a few accountants to manage the accounts. Make sure every single transaction is recorded clearly."

Da Sha hesitated and asked, "Brother Fan, won't this offend them?"

"Dislike it? Then don't do it. They want to lead the villagers to a peaceful and good life. We are the only option. Without our arrangements, the people might not feel at ease looking at them."

"Is that so?"

"Stop overthinking it. Just do as I say. The people you assign only need to keep good records. Observe more and talk less. Report any problems in time."

Chen Fan wasn't afraid that Lin Yaodong and Liu Tian would interfere, but rather that the people in his village wouldn't be honest.

Taking advantage of one's age is common in rural areas.

Write down those people and things that disrupt harmony, and bring them out to test Lin Yaodong and Liu Tianye at the appropriate time to see how they handle them after they find out.

If handled properly and passes the test, Chen Fan can be more confident in entrusting him with important responsibilities.

"Understood." Da Sha nodded, then seemed to remember something and said, "Brother Fan, you told me to keep an eye on the veterans in the north. In a couple of days, two smugglers will bring a large number of people ashore. Maybe we can recruit some people from them. Do you need me to put in a good word?"

'

"Let me know when it's time, and I'll come over personally to recruit people."

"Okay, I'll contact Snake and the others to arrange a spot tomorrow."

Chen Fan then remembered something and asked, "Speaking of veterans, how's the stolen goods recycling business I asked you to get going?"

"I recently received two shipments of goods worth seven million, but only spent a little over one million. However, the TV reported that ten million was lost. Those shopkeepers make money too easily!"

I get a little angry when I hear news reports about Da Sha.

This is ridiculously unfair. He heard from the person who received the goods that the two groups of thugs almost backed down and even stormed the recycling point to demand an explanation.

If the recipient hadn't spent a lot of time explaining things, the stall that had just been set up would probably have been smashed.

"Those jewelry stores would love to have someone help them balance their books every day. Don't worry, you'll get used to it eventually."

Chen Fan then asked, "Did those bandits request any intelligence or to replenish their weapons?"
