Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

Chapter 181 Ksitigarbha

One month later.

On the top floor of Qiangsheng Entertainment City, in Sheng Jiale's office.

Sheng Jiale sat alone on the boss's chair, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, looking dimly through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the magnificent city scenery outside.

From his position, the pedestrians on the road below were about the same size as ants.

"All living things."

Sheng Jiale took a sip of red wine and sighed.

I don’t know how many of the pedestrians below are working hard for a living. For them, life is just living.

Fortunately, this kind of thing will not happen to me. Sheng Jiale already has the wealth that most people find difficult to accumulate in their lifetime.

He also has a group of loyal confidants who can take care of various businesses for him, allowing Sheng Jiale to avoid falling into fatigue.

It was only after becoming a hands-off shopkeeper that Sheng Jiale could leisurely drink red wine in the office and be filled with emotion.

dong dong dong.

A knock on the door interrupted Sheng Jiale's thoughts.

He put down his glass and said, "Come in."

The office door was pushed open and Tony walked in, "Brother Le."

"It's Tony, what's the matter?"

Sheng Jiale asked.

"Let me report to you the situation of Wansheng Video Game Company this month."

Tony said, holding a document in his hand.

Sheng Jiale nodded, "Then let's talk about it."

Tony opened the file, looked at the content on it, and said in a relaxed tone: "Brother Le, in the past month, the video game company's business has been very booming. The one hundred video game stores scattered across Hong Kong Island are almost full. Every day There’s an endless stream of customers.”

"This is quite what I expected."

After hearing Tony's report, Sheng Jiale nodded slightly.

After all, the video game company was founded in partnership with Zhou Chaoxian and Big D. With his connections, Zhou Chaoxian's machines and technology, and Big D's protection from the community, it would be difficult for the video game company to prosper.

What's more, at the opening ceremony, there were so many reporters giving free publicity.

The effect is better than any advertisement. After all, no matter how much money is invested in advertising, many people will not watch it, or they will forget about it after watching it.

However, news reports are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and are more accepted by the public.

Therefore, on the second day of the opening ceremony, almost everyone in Hong Kong knew about Wansheng Video Game Company and the one hundred video game stores.

After gaining a reputation, Zhou Chaoxian's machine came into play.

The video game market in Hong Kong Island has just started, and the machines used are basically second-generation machines that have been eliminated from Neon.

Before Wansheng Video Games appeared, they didn't think much of it, but once they used the latest machine provided by Zhou Chaoxian, no one could go back.

Just like after using a smart phone, who would switch back to a senior phone? It would be impossible to even take a look at it.

In a short period of time, 99% of the video game customers in Hong Kong were snatched away by Wansheng Video Games.

The remaining handful of people are the sentimental party who are unwilling to leave the old machine.

"How is the revenue?" Sheng Jiale asked.

Tony had a smile on his face, "I only know now that the video game business is so profitable. In the past month, the group's account has been replenished."

Tony was an older man after all, and he had some opinions about the video game business before this, and didn't think how much money could be made from this thing.

Unexpectedly, Tony's revenue in one month was astonishing.

The video game business has also skyrocketed, becoming one of the top businesses in the Qiangsheng Group by revenue.

"That's good."

Sheng Jiale said with satisfaction.

"Brother Le, we are responsible for the operation of the video game store, and there are many of our people in the store. Do you want to do some accounting? I am good at this. I guarantee that Zhou Chaoxian and Big D will not see any problems, and the income will be increased by at least 30%. .”

Tony suggested.

He used to manage the affairs of the Chu family for Sheng Jiale's father, so he was very familiar with accounting.

And this is also a very common behavior. Although it sounds a bit unethical, it is a common phenomenon in all walks of life.

After listening to Tony's suggestion, Sheng Jiale shook his head, "Tony, don't mention this matter again.

Since we are doing business in partnership, Zhou Chaoxian and Big D believe me, and I cannot do such a treacherous thing. Some money can be earned, but some money cannot be touched. "

Sheng Jiale said it very seriously.

"Okay, Brother Le, I understand."

Tony was retorted, but instead of getting angry, he smiled.

He grew up watching Sheng Jiale and has always regarded Sheng Jiale as his son. Now he is very pleased to see that Sheng Jiale is not willing to make money without conscience.

"By the way, the account books must be well prepared, and every income and expenditure must be remembered clearly. When the time comes, these must be shown to Zhou Chaoxian and Big D, and no mistakes can be made."

Sheng Jiale warned.

Integrity is what matters in doing business, especially when three people are working together to open a company, it is even more important to be open and honest, otherwise the slightest suspicion will quickly destroy all trust.

Most people who start a company in partnership end up having an unhappy relationship, often because of trust issues.

Therefore, Sheng Jiale did not want to break up with Zhou Chaoxian and Big D just because of a small profit. That would be like losing watermelons and picking sesame seeds.

"Don't worry, Brother Le, I've helped the master manage his accounts for half my life, and there's never been any problems here."

Tony said confidently.

Sheng Jiale nodded, "I believe in your ability."

"Then I'll go down first."

Tony put the documents on Sheng Jiale's desk and left.

Sheng Jiale flipped through the documents casually, and after roughly understanding the situation of the video game company, he ignored it.

He has always been a hands-off shopkeeper. He only needs to know a rough idea of each business, and the people below will naturally help him handle it.

With 100% loyalty provided by the system, Sheng Jiale never worries about those below lining their pockets.

In a luxurious villa somewhere on Hong Kong Island.

Jizo was sitting on the sofa, holding a Cuban cigar in one hand.

"Fur."

Jizo took a deep breath, and then exhaled the thick smoke.

He was wearing a well-tailored suit, and you could tell from the fabric that it was high-end.

However, what is inconsistent with his gentle temperament is that he wears a metal prosthesis on his right hand to replace the three missing fingers.

Only the thumb and index finger are left on Ksitigarbha's right hand. The other three fingers were chopped off by the family law for touching No. 4 boy in his early years in Zhengxing.

"Tommy, pour me a glass of wine."

Ksitigarbha ordered.

"Okay Brother Jizo."

Tommy got up and went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of Latour red wine. This red wine is produced from France's top winery, Chateau Latour, and its heritage is deeper than Chateau Lafite.

It's just that in China, Lafite red wine is more well-known.

boo.

Tommy unscrewed the cork, took out another goblet, poured a little red wine into it, and then respectfully placed it on the coffee table in front of Jizo.

Jizo took a puff of his cigar, then stubbed it out in the ashtray, and then picked up the wine glass.

After gently sniffing at the mouth of the cup, Jizo narrowed his eyes and said intoxicatedly: "No matter how many times I smell it, the aroma of this wine is still so charming."

Tommy sat down again, but did not take up the topic.

He was familiar with Ksitigarbha's temper and knew that it was the latter talking to himself at this time. It was best not to answer, otherwise it would easily arouse Ksitigarbha's anger.

Ever since Ksitigarbha's three fingers were cut off, his temper has become very irritable and moody. He is often smiling one second and can strike someone with a knife the next.

But thanks to this, Ksitigarbha was able to start up again in just a few years after leaving Zhengxing, and his current status is much higher than before.

Jizo took a sip of the red wine and pursed his lips.

After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Tommy, how much do you know about Haojiang's sports betting industry?"

Tommy shook his head and answered honestly: "I don't know much about it. I haven't been to Haojiang a few times."

Hearing this, Ji Zang raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. Originally he just asked casually, but he already knew the real situation.

"Brother Ksitigarbha, are you interested in the gambling industry in Haojiang?" Tommy asked knowingly.

Having been Ksitigarbha's confidant for so many years, I still have this bit of insight.

Ksitigarbha nodded and said: "There is indeed some interest. We have been doing the No. 4 business for so many years. Now the police are cracking down harder and harder. It's time to find some side jobs, which can also be used as a retreat at critical times."

"Brother Ksitigarbha, what you said makes sense," Tommy said with approval: "Especially in the past few months, the frequency of police sweeps has increased, and the number of patrols by the coast guard on the sea has also increased. Several times When the cargo was coming, we almost hit the coast guard.”

Tommy manages these businesses for Jizo, so he has a clearer understanding of the police's attitude.

"But we have been doing business on Hong Kong Island for so many years, and we don't have many connections in Haojiang." Tommy then said worriedly.

Jizo chuckled, took a sip of red wine and said, "There's no need to worry about this. We don't have connections, but others do."

"Oh? Who is it?" Tommy asked curiously.

Jizo took out a photo from the lining of his suit, put it on the coffee table and pushed it to Tommy.

"This person is our greatest hope for entering the peripheral gambling industry in Haojiang."

"Who is this person?"

Tommy looked at the handsome young man in the photo and felt that he looked very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.

"Sheng Jiale, chairman of Qiangsheng Group."

Ksitigarbha explained: "This guy is quite promising at a young age. He owns such a large group company at such a young age, and all his businesses are booming, tsk."

At the end of the sentence, Ksitigarbha's tone was quite jealous.

He couldn't help but compare his own experience with Sheng Jiale. He started out as a short mule in Zhengxing and gradually climbed to the position of owning multiple businesses. However, he was immediately kicked out of Zhengxing by enforcing family laws.

Then it took several years of hard work to regain everything.

In contrast, Sheng Jiale's experience was much smoother, which made Ksitigarbha not jealous.

In other words, anyone who compares their own experience with Sheng Jiale can't help but be jealous.

After all, it doesn’t matter if your career is booming, and you still look so handsome, you can’t let anyone live anymore.

"Brother Ksitigarbha, what should I do to contact Sheng Jiale?" Tommy picked up the photo and asked.

Ji Zang shook the red wine glass and said slowly: "As far as I know, Sheng Jiale is probably the son-in-law of He Xin, an upper-class boss in Haojiang.

You should first learn more about Sheng Jiale's situation, especially the relationship with He Tian'er, and see what stage they have developed to.

After confirming these, try to make tentative contact. "

When it was mentioned that Sheng Jiale was probably He Xin's son-in-law, the expression on Ji Zang's face was a little unnatural.

"Made, why do all the good things happen to this guy?"

Ksitigarbha couldn't help but think.

"I understand, Brother Ksitigarbha, I will arrange for people to go to Haojiang to investigate."

Tommy took the photo, stood up and said.

"Okay, you go down."

Jizo waved his right hand with the metal prosthesis at him.

After Tommy left, Ji Zang narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself: "Sheng Jiale, don't let me down."

Although he was a little jealous of Sheng Jiale, Ksitigarbha still hoped that Sheng Jiale would be He Xin's son-in-law as rumored.

In that case, he would have a way to enter the peripheral gambling industry in Haojiang, and it would also be an additional escape route.

Qiangsheng Entertainment City.

Sheng Jiale was sitting behind his desk. Several documents were spread out on the desk and he was looking at them carefully.

These are all brought over by Xinxin. They are about various adjustments and personnel transfers made in the entertainment city in recent times.

Xinxin has already provided a solution on the document. All Shengjiale needs to do is to read it once and sign if there is no problem.

"Boss, how's it going?"

Xinxin asked from the side.

"Very good, your solutions to these problems are all good."

After Sheng Jiale finished speaking, he picked up a gold pen and signed the document.

Hearing this, Xinxin burst out laughing, "That's right, I always consider issues from the boss's perspective."

"Okay, okay, you are the smartest."

Sheng Jiale pinched Xinxin's face and felt a sense of accomplishment as he watched the tender flesh deform slightly in his hands.

"Oh, if you pinch your cheeks again, you'll gain weight!"

Xinxin opened Sheng Jiale's hand in dissatisfaction and muttered.

Then he quickly rubbed his cheeks, as if to eliminate the influence of Sheng Jiale just now.

"It's good to be a little fatter. It's so cute when you are chubby."

Sheng Jiale smiled indifferently.

"It's nice to say it now, but you will dislike me when you get fat. Men are all big pigs."

Xinxin snorted.

Just as Sheng Jiale was about to say something, his arc suddenly sounded.

Ding ding ding.

Sheng Jiale picked up the phone and saw that it was Huo Jingliang calling.

He was confused and didn't know why Huo Jingliang was calling him at this time, but he still pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Huo?"

Huo Jingliang asked over there: "Mr. Sheng, are you busy? Do you have time to come out and play?"

Sheng Jiale glanced at the documents taken away by Xinxin, "I'm not busy, but where are I going?"

"If you have time, let's play golf together." Huo Jingliang suggested.

Hearing this, Sheng Jiale twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering if Huo Jingliang had quit the golf world and was determined to close the score.

This is still his masterpiece. Huo Jingliang was purely shocked by his extraordinary skills and lost interest in golf.

"Didn't you decide not to play before? Why did you suddenly bring it up again?" Sheng Jiale asked curiously.

When Huo Jingliang was asked about this, he coughed awkwardly and explained: "That's so, but my daughter is back, isn't she? She insists on dragging me to play golf, and I can't help it.

It just so happens that my daughter wants to start a business in Hong Kong Island, so I thought you are about the same age and would like to introduce you to her. "

"So this is ah."

Sheng Jiale understood. He was also very curious about Huo Jingliang's daughter, so he immediately agreed, "Mr. Huo, please wait a moment. I'll be there right away."

"Well, I'll look forward to your arrival."

Huo Jingliang joked.

Sheng Jiale immediately hung up the phone.

"Xinxin, I'm going out for a while." Sheng Jiale said hello to Xinxin, left the office, called Luo Tianhong and rushed to the golf course.

Fifteen minutes later.

Sengjiale's motorcade arrived outside the golf course.

"Mr. Sheng, please come with me. The boss and the lady are waiting for you."

Huo Jingliang's secretary stood outside the stadium, waiting for Sheng Jiale.

"Okay, please."

Sheng Jiale followed his secretary into the stadium. Before he had gone far, he saw two figures on the grass.

One of them was Huo Jingliang, whom he was already familiar with.

The other is a slender and beautiful figure.
