Chapter 441: Transformation is not that simple!
Photographic memory?
Lok Chi-ming frowned and said,
"This guy is quite talented."
"It's a pity he didn't walk the right path."
Zhao Jialiang said,
"I just want Lin Yaodong to be brought to justice; I don't care about anything else."
"Mr. Lin, I have a question."
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Speak!"
Zhao Jialiang asked,
"Why didn't the doctor find the real cause of my wife's death during the autopsy?"
Lin Feng replied,
"There are two reasons."
"Your wife was not dissected, so pathological things naturally couldn't be found."
Zhao Jialiang's eye twitched.
That was the person he loved most.
Dissection... he couldn't bear it!
"Lin Yaodong, in some ways, is a genius."
"Not only does he have a photographic memory, but he also has innovations in pharmaceuticals."
"When he ambushed your wife, Lin Yaodong used scopolamine."
"This was originally an inhibitor, but he used it for interrogation."
"This drug temporarily damages the human central nervous system, causing an effect similar to a truth serum."
"What's even more ingenious is that this substance is decomposed in the human body."
"If your wife had been discovered quickly, a large amount of scopolamine residue would have been found in her body."
"This is clearly abnormal."
Zhao Jialiang suddenly understood:
"Yes, I knew there was a reason why they determined my wife committed suicide."
"Scopolamine is an inhibitory drug."
"This Lin Yaodong really calculated everything."
Dai Kuen Pao said coldly,
"It's a pity he didn't account for the existence of Mr. Lin."
Lin Feng said grimly,
"I said, drug trafficking is my bottom line, whether it's in the mainland, in Hong Kong, or anywhere in my Mainland."
"As long as you dare to traffic drugs,"
"You are my enemy."
Dai Kuen Pao said seriously,
"Mr. Lin, don't worry. After I go back, I will open a case and dismantle Tazhai from its roots."
"What audacity, not only committing crimes himself but also dragging an entire village to their graves."
"If Lin Family's ancestors had spirits, their coffin lids wouldn't be able to stay down!"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Remember to check the government of Dongshan."
Dai Kuen Pao sneered,
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Mr. Lin, thank you for this time. We'll be heading back now."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"There's no need to rush!"
"You can go directly by water, I'll make the arrangements."
Dai Kuen Pao smiled wryly,
"Having received such news, we can't sit still."
Lin Feng pointed at Lok Chi-ming and said,
"I just introduced Ah Lok to you. Are you sure you don't want to chat with him?"
Dai Kuen Pao was surprised and said,
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Feng waved his hand casually:
"We are all our own people, we know each other inside and out, so let's just be straightforward."
Don't they know each other inside and out?
Lin Feng had just introduced everyone, revealing all their backgrounds clearly.
"When you came to see me, it was to have me control the Hong Kong Triad, wasn't it?"
Dai Kuen Pao smiled bitterly and nodded:
"That's right."
"The Triads in Hong Kong have their own roots. If it were in our Mainland, there's no question, we would naturally do our best to eliminate them."
"However, this is in Hong Kong. Even after returning to our Mainland, we cannot use the mainland's methods to govern the Triad."
"So, the Triad must be controllable."
"I had high hopes for Mr. Lin early on, believing you would be the most powerful figure in the Triad."
"However, I was still too inexperienced and didn't see Mr. Lin's future development."
"Now, you are not only the most powerful figure in the Triad but also one of the most powerful figures in all of Hong Kong."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Lin Feng is now a carp transforming into a dragon, a flying dragon in the sky.
His momentum is truly unmatched.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes at him:
"Brother Bao, we are friends after all. You are clearly overpraising me."
"Above me, there's still Brother Kun."
Dai Kuen Pao gave a thumbs up:
"Mr. Lin is righteous!"
Everyone nodded once again.
Whether it was Lok Chi-ming or Zhao Jialiang, they both deeply admired Lin Feng's actions.
In their opinion, with Lin Feng's abilities, it would be natural for him to bypass Liang Kun and become number one.
However, Lin Feng always placed Liang Kun first, no wonder the brotherhood between the two is widely praised in the underworld.
"Don't say I didn't introduce him to you."
"Ah Lok is good."
"If you want to control the Triad, no one would be a better choice than Ah Lok."
Lok Chi-ming's eyes widened:
"Mr. Lin, aren't you more suitable?"
Lin Feng shook his head directly:
"I'm not suitable."
"Hung Hing's scale is too large, it's already a leading enterprise in Hong Kong."
"And with Thunder in hand."
"You also know Thunder's track record."
"Even the Flying Tigers of Hong Kong are no match for Thunder."
"These are all open secrets."
"Originally, everyone in the Governors Office was extremely wary of our Hung Hing, and because of Thunder, they actually wished for our Thunder to disband."
"But fortunately, Thunder gained a lot of goodwill from a wave of Tycoons a while ago."
"And it made the name of Thunder Security particularly prominent."
"They can still accept a Security Company in this form."
"If we continue to be involved in the underworld, no one will accept it."
"Today, the Governor can talk and laugh with me, tomorrow he can order the disbandment of Hung Hing."
Lok Chi-ming asked puzzledly,
"Why?"
Lin Feng said directly:
"These so-called rich people, or people from high society,"
"The richer they are, the more afraid of death they become."
"Tycoon and the second richest man, after being extorted by Cheuk Tze-keung, unhesitatingly paid him the ransom."
"Why?"
"Fear of death!"
"They could have called the police, they could have used the power of the police to bring Cheuk Tze-keung to justice, but because they were afraid of death, they still paid the ransom."
"Even if the people from the Police Station desperately tried to persuade them, it was useless."
"This is the nature of businessmen."
"They have so much money, endless time and privileges to enjoy, so by paying a little money, they can naturally be safe."
"But if they really called the police, it would be fine if the police handled things smoothly."
"If the police didn't handle things smoothly, who would be unlucky?"
"Cheuk Tze-keung is a true desperado."
Lin Feng sneered,
"If even someone like Cheuk Tze-keung can make them lose sleep, which of my top generals isn't ten or a hundred times stronger than Cheuk Tze-keung?"
"If my Hung Hing continues to be a Triad..."
"Do you think these people would be able to sleep?"
Everyone looked at each other and simultaneously shivered.
Let alone those high-society figures, even they felt it was too terrifying — having people, money, power, and influence.
Could such a group be played with without being weakened?
Absolutely not!
Lin Feng pointed at Lok Chi-ming and said,
"Ah Lok is currently the Dragon Head of Sun Luen Shing. He is determined to lead Sun Luen Shing to transform and walk the righteous path."
"How easy is transformation?"
"Our Hung Hing's transformation only succeeded after we merged with Tycoon Group and forced the Governors Office and others to tacitly approve it."
Lok Chi-ming exclaimed,
"Forced the Foreigner to acknowledge it?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Otherwise?"
"Do you think they wanted our Hung Hing to transform?"
"Hung Hing comes from the Triad, accustomed to life and death, and goes all out at the slightest disagreement."
"This kind of Triad is the least controllable by the Foreigner."
"Righteousness often comes from the butcher's class!"
"The Foreigner hopes that everyone under his rule is a spiritual Anglo-Saxon like Tycoon."
"Preferably with a yellow skin but a white heart."
"Such people are easy to control."
"But our Hung Hing worships Lord Guan and the Five Ancestors."
"We don't mix well with those people."
"It's just that our commercial war with HSBC ended quickly, otherwise, the Governors Office would definitely have taken sides."
Hiss!
Everyone gasped.
Dai Kuen Pao murmured,
"Mr. Lin, that's not easy for you either."
They only saw Lin Feng wreaking havoc in Hong Kong, but they didn't see his difficulties.
Lin Feng smiled and said,
"That's nothing."
Dai Kuen Pao already understood:
"So, that means Hung Hing can't easily act in the underworld anymore?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"It's fine to act occasionally for a while."
Dai Kuen Pao asked puzzledly,
"Didn't you say Hung Hing is being wary of the Hong Kong Government?"
Lin Feng said naturally,
"My Hung Hing has just transformed, but there are still some things to deal with."
"Leaving aside everything else, we need to set rules for the underworld, and set rules for Hong Kong."
"We need to let them know,"
"Although Hung Hing has successfully transformed, it is still an underworld Triad at its core."
"Don't bother me for no reason!"
"This situation requires at least half a year to establish authority."
"Of course, it depends on which clueless guy comes over."
"If there's no one clueless, we wouldn't actively go beat them up."
"After all, we'll be going legitimate in the future, so we can't be as reckless as before."
Lin Feng was a bit melancholic.
"So, within this year, if you need me, there's no problem."
"But the day Hong Kong returns to the Mainland is still far off, so you'll need to find another Triad."
"Sun Luen Shing is good!"
Lok Chi-ming sighed inwardly.
So, Triad transformation is this troublesome?
He had wanted to successfully transform by following Hung Hing's footsteps.
He never expected there to be such resistance behind it.
His gaze towards Lin Feng was filled with gratitude.
Everyone in the Underworld knows that the Mainland's attitude towards Triads is completely different from that of the Foreigner.
Of course, there are Triads in the Mainland, but they exist secretly; once they show their heads, they will face a storm-like crackdown.
There's no chance of luck!
All the Triads in Hong Kong with any foresight are trembling.
Although those who run with Triads live day-to-day, the upper echelons of the Triad are ultimately completely different from the low-level thugs.
They are also worried!
If they return to the Mainland and are all given peanuts one by one by the Mainland, who could endure it?
Therefore, Triads (mainly the Top Ten Gangs) are all thinking of transforming.
Hung Hing set a good example for them, and these people thought transformation wasn't difficult; at worst, they just wouldn't engage in illegal activities anymore and would do legitimate business, right?
Lok Chi-ming thought exactly that.
Lin Feng's personal account made him realize, how could transformation be so easy?
Would the Foreigner let you transform?
Would the Tycoons of Hong Kong let you transform?
The Foreigner, of course, goes without saying; what they want is for Hong Kong to remain chaotic after its return to the Mainland, so they have an excuse to interfere in Hong Kong's affairs.
The Foreigner cares more about the Mainland than their own country.
The Tycoons also don't want them to transform.
Triads, to the Tycoons, are like a toilet; when needed, they'll naturally be used, but when not needed, they'll definitely be thrown aside.
Perhaps they won't need the Triad, but they can't be without it.
Which Tycoon doesn't have someone they want to get rid of?
Are they supposed to do it themselves?
There must be someone specifically for dirty work, right?
If the Triads are gone, are we really supposed to do it ourselves?
How could that be!
Lok Chi-ming was very anxious, was he going to be in the Triad his whole life?
Dai Kuen Pao asked:
"Ah Lok, are you a Police Officer now?"
Lok Chi-ming sighed:
"I am a Police Officer, but I was in prison for three years, and my record is tainted; I can't go back."
"Even if I were to go back, I'd have to take off my uniform the next day."
"The Police Station wouldn't let someone with a tainted record like me be a Police Officer."
Dai Kuen Pao looked at Lin Feng in astonishment, who said directly:
"Ah Lok went to prison to take the fall for Lam Yiu-cheung."
"When Golden Club ordered Sun Luen Shing to forcibly demolish a building back then, something went wrong during that mission, and someone died."
Lin Feng slowly added,
"A seven or eight-year-old girl."
"Ah Lok felt it was his fault, so he voluntarily went to prison to atone for it."
"That incident was an accident."
"But there's no way around it; that's what happens when things go wrong."
"What's rare is that Ah Lok continued to work as an undercover agent after three years in prison."
"He didn't care about his own future at all."
"Later, because of me, Ah Lok quickly rose through the ranks."
Dai Kuen Pao slowly nodded.
That makes sense now.
Lok Chi-ming asked:
"Brother Feng, I've always wondered why you promoted me?"
Lin Feng glanced at him:
"Do you still remember your good brother Chuen Bo?"
Lok Chi-ming nodded vigorously.
Chuen Bo was the most unlucky Chairman in Sun Luen Shing's history; he was shot into a hornet's nest outside his own bar just half a day after being elected.
Because of this, Lok Chi-ming had no choice but to take over early.
Lin Feng slowly said:
"Those who run with the Underworld and engage in illegal activities are basically not good people."
"No."
"Some people aren't even human."
"Like the crabs of The Ding Family who died."
"You, you are a human!"
Lok Chi-ming was stunned.
Chuen Bo had also told him this once, saying that he was different from other Young and Dangerous.
Those who engage in illegal activities are naturally selfish and rarely consider others.
Due to his undercover identity, Lok Chi-ming's conduct was naturally completely different from others.
He did things humanely.
Lin Feng explained:
"The Police Station sending undercover agents into Triads isn't a new thing."
"Basically, all drug traffickers have undercover agents among them."
"But do you know how many undercover agents successfully return?"
Lok Chi-ming shook his head.
Lin Feng explained:
"Most of the undercover agents sent out by Hong Kong are police cadets; such people have the cleanest backgrounds, making it impossible for anyone to find anything when investigated."
"If uniformed officers or higher ranks are sent, it's very easy to expose them."
"After all, Hong Kong is a small place, and it's too easy to investigate someone."
"These police cadets are young, and their values haven't even been established."
"They are just thrown into this big dye vat by their superiors, with all the temptations of nightlife, indulgence, and various allurements; who knows how many have defected."
"I know of at least several."
"Even if they don't defect, it's not easy to integrate into a Triad."
"Triads engage in illegal activities, and their methods often break through the lower limits of human morality."
"To successfully integrate, they have to force themselves to do things they hate."
"It might be fine for a day or two, but doing it day after day leads to a distortion of personality."
"Many people don't know how they can return to the Police Station."
Lin Feng looked at Lok Chi-ming,
"Did former Superintendent Lo Chung-lun ever mention something to you?"
Lok Chi-ming said blankly:
"What?"
Lin Feng casually said:
"What to do if you encounter an undercover agent or someone suspected of being an undercover agent?"
Lok Chi-ming replied:
"Yes."
"Mr. Luo said not to acknowledge them and to try to hide yourself as much as possible."
"This protects both yourself and your colleagues."
"The Triad is a big dye vat… who knows if he has defected."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Exactly, that's how it is."
Lok Chi-ming sighed heavily, looking at Lin Feng in confusion:
"Mr. Lin, are you also from a police cadet background?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"What are you thinking?"
"Everyone in the Underworld knows that my big brother is Liang Kun."
Lok Chi-ming gently patted his forehead, cursing himself for being foolish and confused.
Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Lin Feng was adopted by Liang Kun since childhood, so how could he be a police cadet?
Dai Kuen Pao asked:
"Will Ah Lok's identity be a problem?"
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"No!"
Dai Kuen Pao frowned and said:
"He's an undercover agent, after all, he's a hidden danger."
"Otherwise, Ah Lok, you should withdraw."
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"No need, really."
Dai Kuen Pao asked in confusion:
"Why?"
Lin Feng chuckled and said:
"Ah Lok's identity is no secret among the high-ranking members of Sun Luen Shing."
Ah?!
Lok Chi-ming was also stunned:
"What?"
Lin Feng said amusingly:
"Do you really think your undercover identity could be hidden from Master Jin and Lam Yiu-cheung?"
"Old people are shrewd, and old ghosts are cunning."
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Lok Chi-ming asked in confusion:
"Then why did they still let me become Chairman?"
Lin Feng said casually:
"Master Jin and Brother Chang once asked me to verify your identity."
Lok Chi-ming said in astonishment:
"What did you say?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Everyone in the Underworld knows my reputation, Ah Feng."
"Naturally, I told the truth."
Lok Chi-ming stood there dumbfounded, unable to react for a moment:
"Those two big bosses learned my identity from you, and then I became Chairman?"
Lin Feng said speechlessly:
"Are you stupid?!"
"You personally killed that Foreigner, Richard!"
"You have leverage in their hands."
"Master Jin and Lam Yiu-cheung appreciate your talent and know you can't go back."
"At this point, your undercover identity is not a disadvantage, but rather a bonus."
"The existence of the black-and-white agreement allows you to communicate better with the Police Officers."
"And what you've done has genuinely been for Sun Luen Shing."
"Do you think Master Jin and Lam Yiu-cheung don't want to transform?"
Lok Chi-ming suddenly understood.
So, there were so many twists and turns involved.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow at Dai Kuen Pao:
"How about it, how's the person I chose for you?"
Dai Kuen Pao laughed loudly:
"That's naturally the best!"
+++
Chapter 442: Methods for Integrating the Underworld
"Mr. Lin's foresight is naturally top-notch; I trust him."
Dai Kuen Pao readily agreed.
He had repeatedly come to Hong Kong under this alias precisely to investigate the Triads in Hong Kong.
The sheer number of Triads in Hong Kong genuinely astonished Dai Kuen Pao.
Such a situation was completely unimaginable in his Mainland.
Of course, his Mainland had also experienced such times, but after a severe crackdown, all the ruffians learned their lesson and only dared to operate covertly, not daring to cause trouble indiscriminately.
Anyone who dared to secretly grow and strengthen would simply be boosting the performance of the local Police Station.
However, after six or seven years, many people had forgotten the crackdown in his Mainland, and another batch of small-time hoodlums had emerged.
History has always ascended in a spiral.
Dai Kuen Pao was very concerned about the situation in Hong Kong. He had contacted several Triads, including Sun Yee On.
What he valued was the flexibility of its leader.
Old Xiang was involved in legitimate business, while Lao Lin was in the underworld.
The combination of legitimate and illicit was quite stable.
Dai Kuen Pao knew that Old Xiang was leaving himself a fallback, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen him.
However, after Lin Feng's rise, Dai Kuen Pao immediately cast Old Xiang aside.
What a joke.
With Mr. Lin, who was spending lavishly in the Mainland, what right did a guy like Old Xiang have to be the one to stabilize the underworld?
Dai Kuen Pao genuinely wanted to support Lin Feng as the Police Commissioner of the Hong Kong underworld.
But plans are often outpaced by changes; his plan hadn't even been implemented yet, and Lin Feng had already soared!
Hong Kongs richest man!
Which richest man still dabbles in the underworld?
The outcome would definitely not be good.
Anyone not blinded by greed would absolutely not dirty his hands.
No choice, he had to keep looking for someone.
However, Dai Kuen Pao hadn't had time for this; firstly, there were too many matters with Hung Hing that needed his attention, and secondly, there was still a considerable distance until Hong Kong's return to his Mainland.
Just these things were enough to keep Dai Kuen Pao busy.
Who would have thought that Lin Feng would actually find a suitable candidate for him?
Lok Chi-ming was just right!
He came from a Police Station, possessing a firm sense of justice.
During his time as an undercover agent, even if it wasn't his responsibility, it caused him great pangs of conscience, and he would even voluntarily go to prison to seek spiritual forgiveness.
In fact, for an undercover agent, this matter was a bit far-fetched.
Three years of blank space!
However, as an individual, such a person was quite charming.
Dai Kuen Pao saw through it in one glance: Lok Chi-ming was that kind of traditional gentleman from his Mainland—a traditional gentleman willing to sacrifice.
Choosing such a person meant not having to worry about him betraying national interests.
Furthermore, Lok Chi-ming's identity was already clear, so there were no lingering concerns.
And because of Lin Feng's support, Lok Chi-ming's prestige was not only within Sun Luen Shing but also renowned throughout the underworld.
This satisfied another condition.
If such a person wasn't suitable, then who would be?
Lok Chi-ming gave a bitter smile and said:
"Mr. Lin, Brother Bao, I don't have as much confidence as you two."
He spoke frankly,
"Dominating the underworld is not my dream. My dream is to lead the 50,000 members of Sun Luen Shing in a transition."
"There are a full 50,000 people, and behind them are 50,000 families."
"I don't want them to continue to be involved in the underworld, and I certainly don't want to see parents burying their children."
Dai Kuen Pao's expression was serious:
"Don't worry, our goal is to eliminate the Triads."
"However, Hong Kong has its own unique characteristics."
Lin Feng interjected:
"A society where everything revolves around money is the most terrifying for the common people at the bottom."
"In the eyes of Foreigners and high-ranking officials, what kind of people are these?"
"To put it bluntly, they are consumables, cold numbers."
"Not just in Hong Kong."
"Even in London, it's the same."
"With such a government, the soil for the emergence of Triads will always exist."
"To eliminate Triads in Hong Kong, unless a system identical to that of his Mainland is implemented."
Everyone fell silent.
Everyone knew it was impossible; the old man from his Mainland had said that Hong Kong's system would remain unchanged.
Dai Kuen Pao sighed:
"That's why I'm so eager to come and go from Hong Kong."
"Triads cannot expand; they can only shrink."
Lin Feng explained:
"His Mainland's intention is that all small Triads in Hong Kong must disappear, and it's enough to keep two or three Triads."
Lok Chi-ming exclaimed:
"Two or three Triads?"
"How is that possible?"
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Nothing is impossible."
"Firstly, after Hong Kong returns to his Mainland, with its own people in charge, it will never indulge Triads like the Foreigners did."
"Secondly, after Hong Kong's return, we will have the backing of his Mainland, increasing job opportunities, and it will be much easier to earn money."
"This way, fewer people will join the underworld."
"How many current Triad members can even eat three square meals a day?"
"Many people live from hand to mouth."
"The Thirteen Taibao of Tsz Wan Shan were impressive, right?"
"Didn't they often sleep under bridges?"
"Those who can truly eat their fill are always a minority."
"If a legitimate job is placed before them, one that allows them to eat well, dress warmly, and gives them dignity."
"Do you think they would still join a Triad?"
Everyone fell silent.
Lok Chi-ming gave a bitter smile and said:
"But the future is the future, and now is now."
"Currently, Hong Kong's ten major Triads stand tall, and even within your Hung Hing, there are those who are not convinced."
"My Sun Luen Shing is not even as good as Hung Hing; how can I intimidate the various Triads?"
"If only you two Big Boss could give me a little of your confidence."
Lok Chi-ming was not opposed to accepting this task.
In his view, having the backing of his Mainland was a blessing that others couldn't even ask for.
However, this task was truly difficult.
Lok Chi-ming lacked confidence.
Lin Feng smiled:
"When have I ever made things difficult for my brothers?"
Lok Chi-ming was overjoyed:
"Mr. Lin, you have an idea?"
Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Yes, I do."
"Achieving this is not difficult."
Lok Chi-ming said speechlessly:
"But I just can't figure out how to do it well."
Lin Feng casually said:
"Actually, you only need to do one thing."
Lok Chi-ming quickly asked for guidance:
"What thing?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Nothing else. Sun Luen Shing just needs to keep making money, keep its brothers well-fed and well-provided for, and enable them to earn money to support their families. That's all."
Lok Chi-ming was greatly alarmed:
"That's not difficult?"
"Sun Luen Shing has 50,000 members!"
This matter seemed easy, but a closer look revealed the immense pressure.
Currently, the average worker's salary in Hong Kong has reached three thousand hong kong dollar.
Even if the Young and Dangerous members are calculated at three thousand, how much is the monthly expenditure?
150 million hong kong dollar!!
This pressure could crush most Triads.
How could Lok Chi-ming not be shocked?
You don't know the cost of living until you manage a household; once you do, you wish you could split one hong kong dollar into two!
Lin Feng waved his hand:
"Ah Lok, I never screw my brothers over."
"If I say this task is suitable for you, I will naturally find you a way out."
Lok Chi-ming was skeptical.
Lin Feng explained:
"Before you two arrived, Brother Bao and I chatted for a while."
"Brother Bao, what did I just say?"
Dai Kuen Pao immediately said:
"You want to take over all the food ingredients in Hong Kong."
Lin Feng clapped his hands and said:
"Exactly, this is the business I'm giving to Ah Lok."
Lok Chi-ming was astonished:
"Food ingredients?"
Lin Feng smiled faintly and said:
"Specifically, your Sun Luen Shing will monopolize it."
"Mainly rice, flour, grains, oil, vegetables, and livestock."
"Our Hong Kong is by the sea, so monopolizing seafood isn't easy."
Lok Chi-ming didn't react for a moment:
"This can solve my problem."
Lin Feng laughed heartily:
"Ah Lok, if you do this well, becoming a Hong Kong tycoon will be no problem at all."
Lok Chi-ming said in astonishment:
"Brother Feng, don't joke around."
Lin Feng pouted:
"Do you know what business is the most profitable?"
Lok Chi-ming shook his head.
"A person's life cannot be separated from the four words: clothing, food, housing, and transportation."
"If you can monopolize any one of them, you might just become the richest man."
"Hong Kong has many people and little land; the land produces almost nothing."
"A hundred years ago, this was just a Fishing Village, relying on fishing for a living."
"It's not the same now as it was a hundred years ago, but it's not that different either."
"Our food and even water supply actually depend on his Mainland's supply."
"How about I break down the numbers for you?"
Lin Feng raised his index finger,
"No need to mention anything else, let's just talk about pork."
"Currently, the market price in Hong Kong for one catty of pork is as high as twelve to fifteen hong kong dollar."
"Whereas in his Mainland, the price of one catty of pork is one hong kong dollar."
"When you source from his Mainland, the purchase price naturally won't reach twelve hong kong dollar... at most, it would be four hong kong dollar."
"After currency conversion, you still have half the profit."
"Excluding all costs, you can earn two hong kong dollars per catty of pork."
"Hong Kong has six million people."
"If we assume one family needs one catty of meat per day—that's two million hong kong dollars earned in a single day."
"In a month, you can earn sixty million hong kong dollars."
"Note, this is all profit!"
"It's profit after all costs have been excluded."
"So, do you think this business can't be done?"
Lok Chi-ming gasped sharply.
"It's that profitable?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes.
"This is only to cooperate with Mainland's work; otherwise, do you think I'd let you do such a profitable business?"
Lok Chi-ming was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Brother Feng."
He was a smart man; pork was just one item, and the annual profit could be as high as six hundred million hong kong dollars.
Of course, the actual amount would fluctuate, but it would be roughly the same.
This meant there was money to be made in this business.
If pork was like this, what about other things?
Just thinking about it made him excited!
Sun Luen Shing was going to strike it rich.
Lin Feng hummed.
"If Hung Hing wasn't such a big target, and if it didn't conflict with our main business, I would never let go of this piece of cake."
"Don't look at these seemingly insignificant turnovers…"
Lok Chi-ming thought, 'Insignificant? How is it insignificant?'
Just pork alone accounted for several hundred million hong kong dollars in annual transactions.
Big shot, do you have some misunderstanding about what 'insignificant' means?
However, thinking that the person opposite him was Lin Feng, a super elite who could double investors' returns in just a few days, the idea of 'insignificant' seemed quite normal.
Well, it was only normal for Lin Feng.
"You'll understand when your wealth reaches my level."
"Quick money really can't compare to these large, steady businesses."
"For a company to last, what it needs isn't windfall profits, but stable and long-term returns like these."
Lok Chi-ming nodded repeatedly.
Whether he understood or not, agreeing was the right thing to do.
Lin Feng took out his cigar box, and Li Fu quickly took it, trimmed them for everyone present, and then distributed them one by one.
After exhaling a puff of smoke contentedly, Lin Feng then said, "Everyone who's out here wants to make money."
"My boss said it's a golden rule: making money comes first when you're out here; everything is business."
"If you can ensure your subordinates are well-fed and clothed, and still have money left over to support their families and honor their parents…"
"Then what you say will be effective!"
"Constantly talking about loyalty and righteousness, always drawing big pictures, and letting your younger brothers go hungry… that's not what a decent person does."
"As long as you can help your younger brothers make money, they will follow you wholeheartedly."
"If you support fifty thousand younger brothers, or even fifty thousand families, when you speak, who dares to object?"
"You also don't need to worry; I will cooperate with you to gradually squeeze the living space of other Triads in the underworld."
"Leaving them with only two choices—either join your Sun Luen Shing or change professions."
Lok Chi-ming's heart swelled with excitement.
Dai Kuen Pao nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Jialiang was astonished.
Li Fu felt a secret satisfaction—it had to be Brother Feng!
Everyone present was capable and easily analyzed that this plan was feasible.
Dai Kuen Pao thought for a moment and raised a question.
"Mr. Lin, there are also some Triads that engage in illicit activities."
"Some are very despicable."
"Such as drug trafficking and arms smuggling."
Lin Feng snorted coldly.
"Those aren't Triads in the usual sense; those are criminal organizations."
"Traditional Triads are merely involved in parking, brothels, mahjong parlors, loan sharking, and so on."
"Those people are also easy to deal with; I'll have the Police focus on cracking down on them!"
Everyone nodded in unison, not feeling that Lin Feng was exaggerating in the slightest.
If Hung Hing were still the Hung Hing of the underworld, Lin Feng's words might only be heard by a few Police Station Chiefs who knew his influence.
However, Hung Hing had successfully transitioned.
Lin Feng was also Hong Kongs richest man; if he made a suggestion to the Police Station, even the Police Commissioner would have to take it seriously.
This was not an exaggeration.
Lok Chi-ming was full of excitement; he seemed to see a bright future for Sun Luen Shing.
Lin Feng suddenly poured cold water on him again.
"The future is certainly bright, but this kind of thing isn't that easy to do."
Lok Chi-ming was stunned.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Feng said bluntly, "There are too many Triads, and your Sun Luen Shing's territory isn't large enough; you simply can't cover that many areas."
Lok Chi-ming frowned.
"That's true."
Lin Feng smiled.
"Take it slow; it'll have to be a fight in the end anyway."
Lok Chi-ming gritted his teeth.
"I'll go back and form a general action team."
"For the sake of our brothers' future, we have to fight when necessary."
Lin Feng nodded slightly.
"On Hung Hing's side, I'll call Brother Kun, and your Sun Luen Shing's business can gradually infiltrate Hung Hing."
Lok Chi-ming was surprised.
"Can that work?"
Lin Feng explained, "Hung Hing has truly transformed; we will gradually withdraw from underworld affairs."
"However, don't even think about collecting protection money from businesses in Hung Hing's territory."
Lok Chi-ming didn't mind at all.
"If we have legitimate business to do, why would we collect protection money?"
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.
"Businesses in Hung Hing's territory have actually all signed security contracts with Thunder Security."
"I have to make this clear upfront."
"If you collect protection money from Hung Hing's businesses and end up attracting Thunder Security, don't come crying to me if you get beaten up."
Lok Chi-ming waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no!"
Lin Feng looked at Dai Kuen Pao.
"Brother Bao, do you have any other instructions?"
Dai Kuen Pao shook his head.
"Everything that needed to be said has been said."
"What I want is stability in Hong Kong."
Lok Chi-ming said solemnly, "Brother Bao, rest assured, I am a native-born Hong Konger, and I want Hong Kong to be stable even more than you do."
Dai Kuen Pao patted his shoulder solemnly.
"Alright, let's keep in touch."
Immediately, Lok Chi-ming and Dai Kuen Pao exchanged numbers.
Lin Feng said to Li Fu, "Help me see Brother Bao and them off."
After Li Fu returned, he posed his question.
"Brother Feng, why do I feel like you deliberately pushed this matter out?"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
"That's right, that's exactly it."
Li Fu was puzzled.
"Actually, with our capabilities, we could have done this without going through Sun Luen Shing."
"With your influence, who in the entire underworld wouldn't give you face?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"You can't look at things that way."
"Hong Kong is not like other places; it's a city of spies, and Brother Bao's movements cannot be hidden from others."
"Brother Bao choosing Sun Luen Shing will also quickly spread throughout the underworld."
"Our Hung Hing is too big of a target; taking on such a task at this time wouldn't be good."
Li Fu was even more puzzled.
"Isn't it a straightforward matter?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "If my goal was only Hong Kong and Mainland, there wouldn't be any problem."
"But the problem is, my goal is very big."
"This whole region is my target."
Li Fu was startled.
Lin Feng said calmly, "Many guys around here are very jumpy, and I don't like it."
"Thunder Security should be deployed."
Li Fu didn't react for a moment.
"Huh, where is it turbulent? Why don't I know anyone hired us?"
Lin Feng laughed heartily.
"Whether the surroundings are chaotic or not, I decide!"
Hiss!
Li Fu suddenly remembered what Lin Feng had said: Thunder Security's goal was not just Hong Kong, but also the surrounding small countries.
These small countries were very jumpy, constantly challenging Mainland's bottom line.
Could it be… Lin Feng smiled.
"Xiao Fu, your task is very important."
"Tell Jian Jun that this is not a time to relax."
"Thunder Security's training cannot be slackened."
So Brother Feng had already seen so far ahead!
Li Fu immediately felt his blood boil; he was about to speak when Lin Feng's phone rang.
"Brother Feng, it's Chief Huang's call."
Lin Feng was slightly startled.
"Chief Huang's call? Why is he calling at this time?"
As soon as the call connected, Wong Bing-Yiu said loudly, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, thank you for your promotion."
"I just received notice today that I will be taking office as the Deputy Commissioner in charge of operations tomorrow."
"If it weren't for you, I would never have held this position in my life."
"Mr. Lin, words cannot express my gratitude."
"As long as you have instructions, I, Wong Bing-Yiu, will certainly carry them out."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Chief Huang, no, Deputy Commissioner Huang has been promoted."
"You definitely have to treat me to a meal later."
Wong Bing-Yiu grinned broadly.
"That's for sure."
