Hong Kong variety show: I wanted to be a lawyer, but I became a big shot.

Not wanting to spoil his fun, Lin Bei picked up a bite and tasted it.

The sauce was rich and the crab meat was fairly fresh, but compared to the raw marinated crab from Chaoshan in China, the taste and flavor were several levels inferior.

He showed no emotion on his face, and nodded with a smile:

"Not bad, the flavor is very layered."

"Haha, eat more if you like it."

A woman dressed in hanbok with wavy hair and a slender figure knelt down and poured wine for Lin Bei.

Kimchi-kok soju has a low alcohol content, but its taste is quite unique.

Lin Bei, adapting to local customs, frequently clinked glasses with Shi Dongchu, listening to him chat about the local culture and customs, from the tangerines of Jeju Island to the seafood market in Busan, and from the casinos in Seoul to the clubs in Gangnam.

Jimmy listened attentively, occasionally chiming in and agreeing, creating a lively atmosphere.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Lin Bei put down his chopsticks and got down to business.

"Chairman Shi, besides catching up with Brother Ding Qing, I actually have something important to discuss with you in Seoul."

"Okay, go ahead."

"I want to collaborate with Samsung on a technology project. Once the project is implemented, it will greatly benefit both the Hung Hsing and Kinmen conglomerates."

Shi Dongchu paused slightly in the hand holding the wine glass:

"Samsung? Mr. Lin's appetite is quite large."

"Samsung's accumulated electronic technology is currently unmatched by Hong Kong. Meanwhile, I control the production base in Hong Kong, global port freight channels, and a complete sales network covering the entire Southeast Asia. The combination of our strengths will result in extremely considerable profit margins."

Lin Bei looked directly into Shi Dongchu's eyes and added slowly:

"Once this project is completed, Kinmen Group's path to legalization will be much smoother. They will no longer need to touch the gray industry and can still make a fortune."

Upon hearing this, Shi Dongchu lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before putting down his wine glass and lightly tapping the table with his fingertips.

Zhang Shouji, standing to the side, suppressed his smile, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lin Bei and Shi Dongchu.

Ding Qing spoke up at the opportune moment:

"President, I am fully aware of Mr. Lin's influence in Hong Kong."

"Hung Hing's business already covers all aspects of life in Hong Kong, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. If the technology and electronics sector is added, its future potential will be immeasurable."

Shi Dongchu glanced at Ding Qing, then looked at Lin Bei, and suddenly laughed loudly:

"Very well! Since Mr. Lin has such a broad vision, then I, Shi Dongchu, on behalf of the Kinmen Group, fully support him!"

He raised his glass:

"We'll discuss the specifics tomorrow."

"Tonight we'll just drink and have fun, no business to discuss."

"please!"

Lin Bei raised his glass to clink glasses with Lin Bei's and drank it all in one gulp.

The dinner in the private room didn't end until after nine o'clock.

Shi Dongchu personally escorted Lin Bei to the door of the private room, holding his hand with a beaming smile:

"Mr. Lin, you must be tired from your journey. I have already arranged everything. You should get some rest tonight."

He gave his secretary a wink.

The secretary immediately stepped forward, leaned down, and whispered a few words in Lin Bei's ear.

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not refuse.

Back in his hotel room, Lin Bei had just taken off his coat when the doorbell rang suddenly.

He opened the door and saw two women standing there.

The former is tall and slender with exquisite makeup. She wears a black fitted dress, has a slim waist and long legs, and exudes a cool and refined temperament.

The latter is slightly shorter, with gentle features, long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing an apricot-colored knit sweater, and smiling with her eyes crinkled, exuding a gentle and charming aura.

The two, carrying small bags, bowed slightly in greeting.

"Mr. Lin, Chairman Shi has arranged for us to come and serve you."

Lin Bei leaned against the door frame, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.

He recognized the two men.

The tall woman is Won Hyun, a dance music singer who has become wildly popular in South Korea in the past two years, and there are many handsome men there.

The petite woman is Mi-sook, who has starred in many blockbuster films and is hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Korean film industry.

That old fellow Shi Dongchu is really willing to spend money.

Lin Bei stepped aside to clear the doorway:

"Okay, come in."

That night, Lin Bei played cards with two national goddesses from South Korea all night, and also investigated their educational backgrounds.

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Lin Bei sat on the sofa, smoked a cigarette, glanced at the two sleeping people beside him, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After he and Jimmy had breakfast, Ding Qing arrived at the hotel on time.

"Mr. Lin, Chairman Shi invites you to the headquarters for tea."

"Okay, let's go."

The headquarters of the Kinmen Group is located in the center of Seoul, in a more than 20-story office building.

The exterior is unremarkable, with only a low-key bronze plaque at the entrance and no other eye-catching signs, yet the people coming and going are all dressed in suits and ties, walking briskly, exuding an air of distinction.

Top floor, the president's office.

Today, Seok Dong-chul was dressed in a light gray suit and looked very energetic.

He personally brewed a pot of fine Baocheng green tea, and the aroma filled the room.

"Mr. Lin, did you sleep well last night?"

"It's perfectly safe. Thank you for your help, Chairman Shi."

"Haha, as long as you're satisfied."

The two sat down on the sofa, with Ding Qing and Zhang Shouji sitting on either side of them.

Shi Dongchu took a sip of tea, his smile fading, his expression becoming serious:

"I've been thinking about the project you mentioned yesterday all night. Do you have a concrete plan?"

Lin Bei put down his teacup and leaned forward slightly:

"Chairman Shi, I have some understanding of the market situation in South Korea."

"Today, Kinmen Group has diversified into multiple industries, including construction, logistics, and entertainment, but its core profits still rely on the gray market."

"These kinds of businesses may bring short-term profits, but in the long run, they are like time bombs strapped to your head."

"To truly penetrate high society and gain official recognition and respect, one must gradually shed the black and gray industries."

Shi Dongchu frowned slightly, his face showing hesitation.

Lin Bei saw through his concerns and continued:

"I'm not asking you to shut down all your business immediately."

"What I mean is to plan ahead and cultivate 'black gloves,' letting lower-level personnel take over the black and gray industries, so that you, the higher-ups, can completely withdraw and focus on cultivating legitimate industries."

Shi Dong poured the two of them another cup of tea and asked:

"Given your background, which industries are worth investing in?"

"Real estate, finance, technology, and pharmaceuticals."

Lin Bei lit a cigarette and calmly said:

"These four industries will be the most profitable sectors globally over the next twenty years."

"Especially in real estate and technology, South Korea's policies are extremely favorable. As long as you catch the right trend, you can make a profit without any risk."

Shi Dongchu pondered for a moment:

"We have accumulated manpower in the real estate industry, but in the fields of technology and medicine, the group has absolutely no reserve of professional talents."

"Leave the professional tasks to the professionals."

Lin Bei chuckled softly and began to explain:

"Hung Hing Society has established a branch in South Korea and is cooperating deeply with Kinmen."

"We'll split the funding 50/50, but you must cover the costs of local government resources."

"As for talent and all project directions, I will determine and provide them. You only need to be responsible for implementation."

Shi Dongchu's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice:

"How large-scale is Mr. Lin planning to operate?"

"Ten times the size of the Kinmen Group today."

The office fell silent for a few seconds.

Shi Dongchu suddenly burst into laughter and handed it over:

"Hahaha! Great!"

"My Kinmen Group will invest in this deal!"

The two shook hands and finalized the cooperation, and both Ding Qing and Zhang Shouji breathed a sigh of relief.

Jimmy and Ding Qing handled the follow-up details, and the two parties successfully signed a framework agreement.

Hung Hsing is responsible for talent management and project planning, while Kinmen is responsible for local resource integration and daily operations. Profits are split 60/40, with Hung Hsing receiving 60% and Kinmen receiving 40%.
