Chapter 393: Society Is Never Equal
Ding-a-ling!
Elizabeth looked at the incoming call with surprise and quickly went to George's office:
"Sir, Mr. Lin's call."
George's heart tightened:
"Mr. Lin is calling me?"
He didn't dare to delay and quickly took the phone.
"Mr. Lin, this is George."
George's demeanor was very humble.
Even though Lin Feng wasn't in front of him, he still bowed and scraped.
Elizabeth didn't feel there was anything wrong.
She had already forgotten what happened that night at Lin's mansion on Victoria Peak, but deep down, she always felt that this Mr. Lin was definitely a very important person.
"George, I need a good etiquette trainer to teach my friend's wife some aristocratic etiquette."
"Do you have any good recommendations?"
George was stunned:
"Sir, do you really care for such etiquette?"
"Anglo-Saxon etiquette is both tedious and troublesome."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"I don't care for it, but it's fine as long as someone else does."
"Please help me find a good etiquette teacher. Oh, and not one of those who just go through the motions."
"My friend has a bit of a temper."
George quickly said:
"Mr. Lin, please rest assured."
"I'll take care of this matter."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Alright, then that's that."
George quickly said:
"Sir, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you about."
Lin Feng said playfully:
"What is it?"
George hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and spoke:
"The Tycoon Group matter…"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Originally, I intended to pay for that etiquette teacher. Since you're asking about this, you can cover the fee, and I'll give you this information for free."
George was overjoyed:
"Thank you, Sir."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"I have to say, you guys are really ruthless."
"Little Tycoon has already spent six billion in London and has been reeled in by Duke Cunningham without even realizing it."
"He only has one billion hong kong dollar left. Once the money is spent, that's when the matter will be settled."
George exclaimed:
"How much? Seven billion?"
Lin Feng was surprised:
"You didn't know?"
George was very bewildered:
"No, I didn't know."
"General Cunningham only told me that Little Tycoon was active in London with a lot of money, something like five billion."
Lin Feng smiled:
"That's old news."
"Previously, Little Tycoon indeed brought five billion, but this fellow threw it in the wrong place. Instead of looking for the dukes of London, he focused on the earls who frequently appeared in public."
"By the time he realized his mistake, he had already spent two billion."
"Later, Mr. Shen helped him out and raised another two billion for him."
"I have to say, Little Tycoon really has the air of a rich second generation, spending money like water."
"How long has it been, and he's already spent six billion."
"At this rate, this one billion won't last for many days."
"Once he runs out, that's when the matter will be over."
George broke out in a sweat.
Seven billion hong kong dollar.
That amount of money could literally crush a person.
But from Lin Feng's tone, the great aristocrats of London were clearly taking everything and refusing to acknowledge it.
Indeed, the most vicious ones were the noble lords. Compared to them, what was the small amount of money he had extorted?
George was very unwilling.
But what good was being unwilling?
Different statuses meant different levels of influence.
Little Tycoon would rather try to conquer the aristocrats in London than try to conquer him.
Thinking about it, it made sense. If he succeeded in conquering London, then with just one order, wouldn't you have to obey willingly?
No wonder General Cunningham was living better than anyone else now.
So their family had swallowed so much money?
George felt a burning pain in his heart.
Jealousy!
Envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Why wasn't he one of those great aristocrats?
George suddenly shivered, regaining his composure,
"Then, according to your estimation, what about the Tycoon Group matter?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Tycoon won't be able to get out."
"Both Little Tycoon and Mr. Shen are destined to be taken for fools."
"They spent money too quickly."
"The great aristocrats of London would absolutely not dare to let them go."
"Little Tycoon's plan is destined to be a futile effort."
"Not only Little Tycoon, but Mr. Shen won't fare much better."
George quickly asked for guidance:
"Why do you say that?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Because I'm targeting them."
Hm?!
George said incredulously:
"You mean?"
Lin Feng said calmly:
"You're eyeing Tycoon's money; I'm eyeing the Tycoon Group."
"These are extremely high-quality assets."
"If I don't act while they're in trouble, wouldn't I be too foolish?"
George gave a wry smile:
"You're really bold. Aren't you afraid I'll tell General Cunningham this news?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Even if Cunningham knows about my actions, he won't interfere."
"Firstly, the money Little Tycoon took to London isn't for him."
"Secondly, Cunningham doesn't have enough capital."
George asked in confusion:
"The Cunningham Family took the lion's share, so how could General Cunningham not have money?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Do you really think all the money Little Tycoon took to London belongs to the Cunningham Family?"
"Cunningham, having enjoyed the spoils, will surely share a portion to silence the other families."
"Even if, for argument's sake, the Cunningham Family kept it all, that's a family."
"General Cunningham, although an important figure in his family and potentially a future representative in the military,"
"he seems to be from a collateral branch, right?"
"Who knows how long he'll have to wait to rise to power?"
"And Cunningham is a soldier. How could he possibly conceive the idea of taking over the Tycoon Group?"
George remained silent, then sighed:
"That makes sense."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
George was quite dejected and felt somewhat disheartened for a moment:
"Thank you, Sir, I have no more questions."
Lin Feng smiled:
"What about the private tutor?"
George quickly said:
"Sir, rest assured, I will handle it for you immediately."
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction:
"I trust you to handle things."
After hanging up the phone, George slumped into his seat.
Elizabeth looked at him nervously:
"Sir, are you alright?"
George shook his head:
"No!"
"I'm fine."
Elizabeth said nothing, came behind George, and gently massaged his shoulders.
George sighed:
"It's a good thing I have you by my side."
Elizabeth said softly:
"It is my honor to be your subordinate, Sir."
George gave a bitter smile:
"Isa, you know, we've been busy, busy, and in the end, we only made a little bit of small money."
"The lion's share was all earned by the big shots in London."
Elizabeth said very seriously:
"Sir, I think it's quite a lot."
During her time with George, her net worth had already reached several million.
This was something she couldn't even have imagined before.
George sighed:
"Do you think it's a lot?"
"But you have to know, Little Tycoon took seven billion hong kong dollar to London for public relations."
"Those big shots have literally swallowed six billion of it."
"Now, do you still think your money is a lot?"
Elizabeth's expression stiffened, but then she naturally continued her actions:
"Hmm, it's quite a lot."
George was astonished:
"Why do you think so?"
Elizabeth explained:
"Sir, I'm just a small agent."
"I'm not one of the big shots in London."
"If I had that kind of background and power, I would naturally be able to take that big share too."
"I don't, so these few million are more than enough."
"Think about it, if it weren't for this situation, when would I ever accumulate several million?"
George was quite speechless.
Elizabeth was indeed very easily satisfied.
But the problem was, he wasn't satisfied.
From this, one could also see how serious the Anglo-Saxon brainwashing of the lower classes was.
This was clearly an unfair situation, yet Isa was made to believe it was only natural.
George fell into a deep silence.
He was truly unwilling!
But what good was it now?
George forced himself to cheer up.
"Isa, I'll still have to trouble you to find a teacher familiar with Anglo-Saxon aristocratic etiquette."
Elizabeth said casually:
"Wouldn't it be better to hire a professional butler?"
"Butlers are familiar with all kinds of etiquette, and having them as teachers would be ideal."
George immediately said:
"It would be best to hire a female butler."
Isa asked curiously:
"Can't a man do it?"
George sneered:
"I no longer have any expectations for Anglo-Saxon men. The Sir's friend is a lady, so let's not offend her and end up implicating us."
Elizabeth immediately felt it made sense:
"In that case, I'll have to properly teach her the rules."
George finally felt comfortable:
"It's really good to have you by my side."
Lin Feng finished his call and went straight to Triad Hospital.
Chen Taotao was finally able to get out of bed.
He paced back and forth in the room, unable to stop.
"Have you been cooped up in bed for too long?"
Chen Taotao laughed:
"Yes."
"Brother Feng, you don't know, both Brother Shan and Zhan Bo are quiet types. If I tell them a few jokes, they just don't get the punchline."
Brother Shan and Fong Chin-Bor exchanged glances and both scoffed.
Having spent every day together in the same office, despite their different ranks, the few of them had become friends.
Now that things were looking up, their bond naturally deepened.
Lin Feng wondered:
"If you really want to go out, you could go sightseeing during the day."
"But not at night."
"Not only are there many mosquitoes, but you also have to compete with trees and plants for oxygen."
Chen Taotao shook his head:
"That won't do. Until the project team finishes, none of us can leave this place."
Lin Feng looked at Brother Shan and Fong Chin-Bor sympathetically, and the two quickly said:
"Everyone is like this when the plan starts."
Lin Feng asked curiously:
"Do your families know?"
Brother Shan answered truthfully,
"Those of us in this line of work often encounter situations where communication is cut off."
"This is for confidentiality requirements, and also to keep our traders focused."
"I've already told my family."
Fong Chin-Bor scratched his head:
"I told them too. Besides, Tingting comes over often, so there's no need for a special notification."
Lin Feng laughed:
"I heard from Ah Min that Little Sister's academic performance is excellent. She has a good chance of getting into a good school in this joint exam."
Fong Chin-Bor was overjoyed:
"If that's the case, I'll pay for Little Sister's schooling."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"Why would we need you?"
"Tingting already promised Little Sister that once she passes, she'll send her to study law, and she'll directly join Jiang's Law Firm in the future, with a senior lawyer guiding her."
Fong Chin-Bor was dumbfounded:
"Ah, you've already covered it?"
"I feel so useless."
Lin Feng glared at him:
"If you feel your shortcomings, then work hard."
"Who said you're useless?"
"Now is the chance for revenge."
"Also, doesn't Little Mama rely on you, her elder brother, to support her?"
Fong Chin-Bor's fighting spirit was instantly ignited.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Fong Chin-Bor had not received an education since childhood. Although he was naturally intelligent, his childhood experiences left him with a bad habit—he tended to avoid difficulties.
But on the bright side,
This guy listens to advice.
Lin Feng knew his personality and was always spot on.
Chen Taotao's expression shifted, and he asked:
"Mr. Lin, is the plan nearing its end?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Before, I still felt that the capital was insufficient."
"Even with support from all sides, I still felt a bit less confident."
"But now, I have full confidence."
"I need you to add another name to your plan."
Chen Taotao was startled:
"Brother Feng, Tycoon Group alone is enough for us to handle."
"If we add another group at the last minute, it might be too much to take on, don't you think?"
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
"It's not easy to create new complications at this time."
Lin Feng laughed:
"Just listen to me."
Chen Taotao took a deep breath, and immediately changed his thinking,
"Brother Feng, who do you want to add?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"HSBC!"
Gasp!
Chen Taotao was greatly surprised:
"This... this is a behemoth no weaker than Tycoon Group, isn't it?"
Lin Feng laughed:
"Since I dare to add it, I have the confidence to take it down."
"However, saying 'take it down' is an exaggeration."
"I want you to secretly acquire HSBC shares."
"Wait for my news."
Chen Taotao frowned:
"Mr. Lin, I don't understand."
Lin Feng laughed:
"You're in the hospital, so you don't know what's happening in Hong Kong."
"Little Tycoon took seventy billion hong kong dollars to London for public relations."
"All these funds were withdrawn from HSBC."
Chen Taotao was puzzled:
"That still isn't a reason to target HSBC, is it?"
Lin Feng laughed:
"I have news that Tycoon Group's liquid capital is only two billion."
"The other five billion was squeezed out by HSBC."
"This has severely impacted the circulation of HSBC's banknotes."
"Maintaining stability now is already the limit."
Chen Taotao's heart stirred, and his eyes lit up:
"You mean?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"Anyway, just wait for my call."
Chen Taotao laughed heartily:
"That makes me feel much better."
Lin Feng laughed:
"Just hold on a little longer. In less than a month, you can do whatever you want."
The three nodded in unison.
After Lin Feng left, Brother Shan asked:
"Tao Tao, it sounds like the boss is talking about a super big project?"
Chen Taotao nodded solemnly:
"Of course, if this project is done well, the three major investment banks will all extend olive branches to you."
Brother Shan was dismissive:
"What's the point of working at an investment bank? It's more fun working with you."
Chen Taotao smiled and patted his shoulder.
Brother Shan had been his trusted confidant from early on. When everyone else betrayed him, only Brother Shan, who had been with him the longest, remained.
Brother Shan was very capable, but after seeing the bright lights of Copper Bull Street, he now simply enjoyed the thrill of stock market speculation by Chen Taotao's side.
Fong Chin-Bor was a rookie, but a rapidly growing one. He scratched his head and said:
"How come I feel like we're going to target HSBC first, and then Tycoon Group?"
Chen Taotao and Brother Shan exchanged glances, both nodding simultaneously.
Fong Chin-Bor's intuition always amazed the two of them.
Such a person, despite not having much experience, was the type blessed by heaven, a true genius.
No wonder Yip Tin took Fong Chin-Bor as his disciple.
Brother Shan wondered:
"I had prepared myself for a tough struggle."
"But being around you two big shots, I feel no pressure."
Fong Chin-Bor was startled:
"Brother Shan, you and Tao Tao are the real big shots, I'm not."
Brother Shan affectionately put his arm around his neck,
"Zhan Bo, if you're gold, you can't hide it."
"In front of true genius, experience means nothing."
"Trust my judgment, you are someone who has the right to disregard experience."
Fong Chin-Bor was embarrassed by Brother Shan's praise and immediately blushed.
Fortunately, his skin was already dark.
Even if he blushed, others wouldn't notice.
Chen Taotao laughed:
"One hundred li is ninety li, we are about to succeed, but we cannot fall at the last step."
"You all know the importance of this case."
"This is the foundation of our takeoff."
"If, due to our personal reasons, we don't handle this case well, believe me, you will regret it every single day for the rest of your lives."
Brother Shan and Fong Chin-Bor were both startled.
The two immediately straightened their attitudes.
Chen Taotao then smiled again:
"However, once this hurdle is overcome, then congratulations to you."
"You will become text, printed in the textbooks of major financial institutions."
"Those professors and students will analyze our case, and it will become a classic, passed down through generations."
Brother Shan showed a strange smile:
"Why do I feel a surge of excitement?"
Fong Chin-Bor repeatedly said:
"Me too, me too!"
"I haven't been to university, I haven't even had a proper education."
"If university students can study my classic case, I'll boast about it every day."
Chen Taotao extended his hand, Brother Shan immediately understood and placed his hand on top of his, and Fong Chin-Bor, not to be outdone, also placed his hand on top.
The three looked at each other and said in unison:
"Go for it!"
Nam Tsai heard the sounds outside the door and was very curious.
He really wanted to go in and see.
But he could only think about it.
No other reason, Lin Feng's protection for Chen Taotao and the two others was at the commander-in-chief level.
Even if Nam Tsai wanted to go in, he had to report to Thunder Security.
Nam Tsai sighed, pushed the door open, and immediately put on a smiling face:
"Brother Feng, the results are in."
Lin Feng came to the hospital this time to visit Chen Taotao on one hand, and to get a check-up on the other.
"How is it?"
Nam Tsai quickly said:
"Brother Feng, your seeds are healthy and active, there's absolutely no problem."
Lin Feng frowned:
"Then why can't they get pregnant?"
Nam Tsai smiled wryly:
"Perhaps, you have too many seeds!"

Chapter 394 Lin Feng: I Have Another Big Project
"What?"
"Ah Feng took in two more subordinates?"
"There's a welcoming banquet tonight?"
"Then I must go, hmm, I'll bring your Sister-in-law along."
Liang Kun hung up the phone and immediately shouted:
"Wife, don't cook tonight."
"Ah Feng just took in two new subordinates, we need to attend the banquet."
Shui Ling walked out with a swaying gait, smiling:
"Ah Kun, your joy can be heard two streets away."
Liang Kun burst out laughing:
"Of course, Ah Feng is my disciple. Him taking in new subordinates means my lineage is growing and expanding."
Shui Ling chuckled,
"Are you sure it's because of that?"
Liang Kun immediately felt guilty but still puffed out his chest and said:
"Why else would it be?"
Shui Ling said, "Oh."
"I thought it was because you didn't want to eat the aphrodisiac feast."
Liang Kun immediately said:
"Wife, look at what you're saying, I also want a baby."
"I understand your intentions."
"Am I, Ah Kun, someone who runs away?"
"I particularly love that aphrodisiac feast."
Shui Ling covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise:
"Really?"
Liang Kun vaguely felt something was amiss, but the conversation had already reached this point, and it was too late to back out:
"Of course it's true."
Shui Ling immediately wrapped her arm around his:
"Ah Kun, you're so good to me."
"I thought you were tired of it and was planning to reduce your diet."
"It seems I don't need to arrange other food every now and then."
"If you like it, I'll arrange it for you every day."
Liang Kun was on the verge of tears and quickly said:
"Wife, wife, actually, we can arrange one or two days a week without eating this."
"It's not that I don't like it, it's that I like it too much."
"But it's too nourishing, my weight is already 160 pounds."
"This isn't good."
Shui Ling laughed in his ear:
"The more nourishment, the better; then you can exert yourself more at night."
"I heard people say that when a man does that, it's equivalent to running 25 kilometers."
"The more times you do it, the more laps you run."
"Killing two birds with one stone."
Liang Kun was stunned.
He wanted to struggle a bit more, but when he saw Shui Ling's smiling face, his resolve deflated, and he thought to himself:
"Forget it, who told me to marry this Old Mother?"
However, tonight, he definitely had to improve his meals.
"Wife, tonight we need to give Ah Feng face."
"You should hurry and get dressed up nicely."
Shui Ling was happy to hear this and quickly went back to her room to put on makeup.
Liang Kun sighed softly. Life was unbearable.
Walking out to the courtyard full of melancholy, Li Jie discreetly pulled out something.
"Ah, why is there a box of cigars here?"
Liang Kun's eyes lit up:
"Ah Jie, those are my cigars I dropped, quickly give them to me."
Li Jie handed the cigars to Liang Kun and whispered:
"Sister-in-law will take two hours to put on makeup, that's enough time for you to smoke one, remember to brush your teeth."
Liang Kun's mouth twitched.
Had he fallen to this point?
Did he have to rely on his subordinate's subordinate just to smoke?
He was the Dragon Head of Hung Hing, after all.
But what could he do?
Shui Ling was the former Dragon Head of Tung Sing!
Liang Kun thought bitterly, at least he was the one in charge!
As Li Jie expected, Shui Ling took two hours to do her makeup.
Liang Kun was truly impressed.
If you don't marry a woman, you really don't know they can waste so much time.
And you can't even say anything to her, she'll just shut you up with phrases like "a woman adorns herself for her admirer" or "Old Mother dressed up so beautifully, isn't it to give you face?"
But what could he do?
Who told her she was his wife?
More importantly, she was dedicated to leaving an heir for the Li family, earning praise from Old Mother.
Outside, Liang Kun was the Chairman of Hung Hing, a man of his word.
Unfortunately, at home, his status was practically that of a subordinate.
It was truly disheartening.
Liang Kun was stifled, and he couldn't help but call Lin Feng:
"Ah Feng, what are you doing?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"I'm not in a good mood."
Liang Kun was startled:
"What's wrong?"
Lin Feng didn't know how to explain for a moment:
"I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I'm very healthy in all aspects."
"Only one thing is a bit abnormal."
Liang Kun frowned:
"Abnormal? Don't scare me!"
Lin Feng said speechlessly:
"It's nothing serious, it might just mean my plan to have children has to be delayed."
"I don't know what to say for a while."
Liang Kun asked curiously:
"What happened?"
Lin Feng then repeated Nam Tsai's explanation:
"My seeds are very active and healthy. The only abnormality is that there are too many seeds."
"They are still very healthy and active."
"The result of mutual competition makes it difficult to conceive."
"Once their vitality drops a bit, it will be fine."
(This is me talking nonsense. In cases of excessive seeds, as long as there are no abnormal shapes or insufficient vitality, it will not affect conception.)
Liang Kun was quite surprised:
"It can be like that?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Yes, it is."
"But Nam Tsai said it's not infertility; it just means my seeds have difficulty sprouting."
"Perhaps one day when I'm not in good shape, it will lead to conception."
Liang Kun was particularly speechless.
He suddenly felt that his subordinate was humblebragging.
Everyone else wanted their seeds to be lively, but he was the opposite.
"So you can't take supplements anymore?"
Lin Feng said in surprise:
"Brother Feng, I'm only twenty this year."
"It's the prime of my life. If I take supplements at this age, what will I be like when I reach your age?"
Liang Kun was speechless.
Lin Feng said:
"It's good that you called. Tonight, I have something to discuss with you."
"You must come."
Liang Kun frowned:
"What can't be discussed over the phone?"
Lin Feng said bluntly:
"It's not safe to talk on the phone."
Liang Kun immediately understood:
"Alright, I'll be there in a bit."
"Your Sister-in-law is putting on makeup."
Lin Feng laughed:
"No hurry, no hurry!"
"Anyway, we'll see each other tonight."
Liang Kun asked:
"Is the matter important?"
"Should I call others?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"No need. Just call Chicken and Chan Yiu."
"Forget about the others."
"My two subordinates don't mix in Hong Kong."
Liang Kun asked, puzzled:
"Don't mix in Hong Kong?"
Lin Feng laughed:
"They are carrying out a special mission."
Liang Kun sighed:
"Every day, you keep doing things that make my heart pound."
Lin Feng burst out laughing:
"Boss, it's clearly the things you did before that made my heart pound."
"Besides, isn't this how you taught me to be?"
Liang Kun had nothing to say.
He wanted to say that those mischievous things weren't something he could have thought of.
However, the fact was that Lin Feng was indeed someone he had brought up since he was young, so there was nothing more to say.
What could Liang Kun do?
He could only endure it.
Finally, Shui Ling finished her makeup, and it was already dark.
Shui Ling came out and frowned slightly.
Liang Kun quickly said:
"I found a box of cigars in the garden and couldn't resist smoking one."
Shui Ling was then satisfied:
"Tonight, you can smoke one more at most, no more."
Liang Kun was exceptionally surprised:
"Ah, I can even smoke one more?"
Shui Ling laughed:
"You're a Boss, you always have to have the aura of a Boss outside."
Liang Kun was deeply moved,
"Wife, you're so good to me."
Li Jie, who was by his side, couldn't help but twitch.
Sister-in-law has such great methods.
What has Boss Ding been trained into?
When Liang Kun is mentioned in the jianghu, who doesn't give a thumbs-up and call him a hero?
Such a strong man was tightly controlled by a gentle woman.
Li Jie unconsciously moved a little further away from Shui Ling.
Sister-in-law is too formidable; he dared not provoke her, could not provoke her!
Mo Chiu-Nam couldn't stand it and was about to speak when Li Jie pulled him aside.
"Brother Jie, why are you pulling me?"
"Boss is too miserable."
Li Jie said expressionlessly:
"Do you want to lose your job?"
Mo Chiu-Nam shook his head frantically.
How good it was to work for Liang Kun.
The work was leisurely, the income was high, and his jianghu status was also sufficient.
If he lost his job, where would he find such a good boss?
"Do you think Boss Ding doesn't know Sister-in-law's methods?"
Li Jie scolded him angrily.
Mo Chiu-Nam's eyes widened:
"Since he knows, why does he still endure it?"
Could Boss be crazy?
Li Jie whispered:
"You bachelor simply don't understand the meaning behind it."
"This is a couple's intimacy!"
Mo Chiu-Nam was skeptical.
So, marital intimacy meant Shui Ling easily manipulating Liang Kun?
That was too miserable!
Mo Chiu-Nam was about to speak again when Liang Kun suddenly turned around and glared at him fiercely:
"Shut up, don't say another word. Are you the only one with a mouth?"
Mo Chiu-Nam quickly covered his mouth, feeling incredibly wronged!
I'm on your side, boss.
How dare you yell at me!
How can you be a boss like that?
Liang Kun was extremely embarrassed.
If he hadn't gotten Shui Ling pregnant sooner, would he have been so easily manipulated?
It's like that between husband and wife; whoever can't satisfy the other has lower status in the family.
Just wait until Shui Ling gets pregnant; then he, Liang Kun, will reassert his authority!
Shui Ling smiled, pretending not to hear the conversation between the three men.
A smart woman knows when to play deaf and dumb.
After meeting Chan Yiu, the group arrived at Chow Chiu-Sin's villa on Mid-Levels.
Speaking of which, everyone lives on Victoria Peak, so in some ways, they could even be called neighbors.
This visit was merely for introductions.
Most of the important figures from the Mong Kok faction had arrived.
Liang Kun, as usual, gave Chow Chiu-Sin and Bu Tonglin large red envelopes.
He was very wealthy now, gradually developing in the direction of Lin Feng.
Others seeing this scene could only sigh, 'As expected of a father... brothers!'
Their style was equally extravagant.
Today was a family gathering, so naturally, men sought out men, and women sought out women.
Chan Yiu asked Lin Feng:
"Mr. Lin, do Chao Xian and Ah Bu not need to be registered on the Triad's roster?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"They definitely need to be registered, but it won't be announced publicly."
Chan Yiu was startled.
Lin Feng explained:
"These two are going on a business trip, and it's not convenient for people to know their background."
"Today's banquet is just to tell the big brothers that these two are my people."
Liang Kun immediately became interested:
"What do you plan to have them do?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"This is a big plan; if I say it out loud, it won't work."
Liang Kun didn't ask further, only saying:
"If you need anything, just say the word, and our Hung Hing will fully support you."
Lin Feng smiled:
"I have a big project..."
Liang Kun, Chan Yiu, Chicken, Axe Jun, Li Fu, Wang Jianjun, Lok Tin-hung, and others all asked in unison:
"How much money do we need to invest?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"The more the merrier."
"However, this is still a short-term project."
"Profit is not guaranteed."
Liang Kun burst out laughing:
"I knew I felt good today; turns out the God of Wealth has arrived."
"Is one billion enough?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"One million is not too little, one hundred billion is not too much."
Hiss!
Everyone gasped.
This really was a big project.
Liang Kun immediately said:
"When do you need it?"
Lin Feng casually said:
"Tomorrow and the day after, just these two days."
"No waiting after that."
Liang Kun thought for a moment and said:
"Can I notify the company's brothers?"
Lin Feng nodded:
"Of course."
"Brother Kun, which bank do you keep your deposits in?"
Liang Kun naturally said:
"HSBC."
Lin Feng immediately said:
"HSBC preferred."
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
Liang Kun thought for a moment and said:
"Ah Yao, Siu Gai, Ah Jun, Jian Jun, you go notify our hall masters."
"I'll call Mr. Chiang."
"If I don't tell him about this, he'll become distant from me later."
This Mr. Chiang was not Chiang Tin-Sung, but Chiang Tin-Yeung.
Lin Feng smiled:
"Then I'll call Ah Lok."
Liang Kun clapped his hands:
"Then let's hurry up."
For a time, the men picked up their phones and called their respective acquaintances.
Chow Chiu-Sin and Bu Tonglin looked at each other in astonishment.
They hesitated for a long time, then quietly pulled Li Fu aside:
"Brother Fu, what is the big brother doing?"
Li Fu smiled:
"Big brother is leading everyone to get rich."
"In Hong Kong, there's basically nothing the big brother doesn't know."
"Similarly, if there's an opportunity to get rich, the big brother will definitely seize it."
"I'll tell you two stories, and you'll understand."
Li Fu then told how Lin Feng took him to buy Mark Six, then about the last time Hung Hing mobilized everyone to participate in Lin Feng's project, and finally about the water station Lin Feng casually set up before going to Taiwan.
Chow Chiu-Sin and Bu Tonglin grew more and more alarmed as they listened.
Is this something a human can do?
Li Fu was clearly not lying; the two could see that the eyes of their big brothers were glowing green.
They were too familiar with that look.
Chow Chiu-Sin asked:
"Brother Fu, can we also participate?"
Li Fu naturally nodded:
"Of course you can."
"This is originally Brother Feng leading everyone to get rich!"
"You are Brother Feng's direct brothers, so you naturally have priority."
Chow Chiu-Sin immediately said:
"I have thirty million here; I wonder if it's enough?"
Li Fu said softly:
"Any amount is a gesture."
Bu Tonglin scratched his head:
"I don't have that much, only a few million US dollars."
Li Fu smiled:
"Didn't Brother Feng say that even one million is not too little?"
Chow Chiu-Sin gasped:
"Brother Fu, did I misunderstand?"
"I feel like you think we're putting in too little?"
Bu Tonglin's eyes widened:
"Is Brother Xian's contribution still too little?"
Li Fu said seriously:
"You've been with Brother Feng for a shorter time, so it's normal that you don't have as much wealth as others; no need to worry."
Chow Chiu-Sin and Bu Tonglin exchanged glances, 'It really is too little?'
How could this be?
Li Fu pointed to Liang Kun:
"Boss Ding can take out over one billion or two billion."
"Chicken will be a bit less, but still no less than forty million."
"I'm also a bit less, fifty million."
"Everyone else is similar, around fifty to sixty million."
"Our Triad's other big brother, Mr. Chiang Tin-Yeung, will take out three to four billion..."
Chow Chiu-Sin was petrified:
"Are Triads in Hong Kong that rich?"
Li Fu corrected him:
"No, no, no."
"It's not that Triads in Hong Kong are rich; it's that our Hung Hing is rich."
He thought for a moment and added,
"Before Boss Ding became Chairman, Hung Hing's hall masters were only slightly richer than other Triads."
"Once Boss Ding became Chairman, Brother Feng led Hung Hing's brothers to get rich together."
"That's when the gap widened."
Chow Chiu-Sin immediately felt it made sense:
"This is very normal."
"Brother Feng leading the brothers to get rich is kindness; if he doesn't want to lead the brothers to get rich, that's his duty."
"Honestly, with such a path, others would be eager to keep it hidden and not let anyone know."
"The fact that Brother Feng thinks of his brothers is truly something not just anyone can do."
"In the jianghu, such things still exist; I really didn't expect it."
Li Fu, on the other hand, asked curiously:
"How do ordinary Triads or gangs operate?"
Chow Chiu-Sin said calmly:
"A typical boss, if he knows one of his subordinates has a profitable business, the one with some shame will demand a few points as tribute from the subordinate."
"The shameless ones will directly snatch it."
Li Fu was dumbfounded:
"And they still have the face to be a boss?"
Chow Chiu-Sin sighed heavily:
"Brother Fu, do you find it hard to accept?"
Li Fu naturally nodded:
"If the boss is snatching his subordinate's business, why should the subordinate support the boss?"
"Such a boss is not worthy of being called a boss; be careful not to get a sack over your head when walking at night!"
Chow Chiu-Sin said expressionlessly:
"In fact, the kind of boss I described is the norm in the jianghu."
"On the contrary, those like Boss Ding and Brother Feng are very rare."
Li Fu choked, asking in surprise:
"Really?"
Chow Chiu-Sin nodded solemnly:
"Really!"
Li Fu murmured:
"No wonder Brother Feng said that no one who gets involved in the underworld is a good person."
Chow Chiu-Sin smiled faintly.
Li Fu shook his head and said to the two:
"This kind of thing is not allowed in our faction."
"What kind of boss leads what kind of subordinates."
"Brother Feng often says that he sets an example for his brothers: how he acts as a boss, his brothers will act as bosses; how he acts as a subordinate, his brothers will act as subordinates."
Chow Chiu-Sin sighed:
"I have already felt such a harmonious atmosphere."
Li Fu smiled:
"We still have a long time to spend together in the future; let time be the witness."
Chow Chiu-Sin and Bu Tonglin nodded in unison.
As soon as the three returned, they saw that everyone had finished their calls.
Liang Kun excitedly said to Lin Feng:
"Ah Feng, Mr. Chiang said he'll be here tonight and invited you for tea."
Lin Feng was startled:
"Mr. Chiang is flying back again tonight?"
Liang Kun laughed heartily:
"It just so happens."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"No problem."
"Anyway, my routine is that I get more awake the later it gets at night."
"It's a good opportunity for us to have a good talk tonight."
