After Le Van Loc left, Nguyen Thi Tam Ho began sorting through the documents sent from Hong Kong.

Sin Yiu-man once talked to Hui Ben-wah about "erecting a monument and writing a biography" for Pak Kung-fuk, and about filming the story of Miss Tran about him. He didn't just say it casually, but was working on it as a project.

Because the South Vietnamese film industry was still in its infancy, not even in its nascent stage, and there were no "Vietnamese films" made by Vietnamese people, it was a good time for South Vietnam to develop its film production industry. This led to Kim Phu Quy Holdings' investment in Nguyen Bao, the owner of a nightclub in Da Lat City, to establish My Van Films.

As for why he invested in Ruan Bao, it wasn't because Ruan Bao had any connection with movies, but because he was interested in investing in movies and had an ex-wife named Zhang Fenghao.

Truong Phung Hoa married a musical prodigy, which improved the performance skills of My Hak reformed drama; she married Mr. Bach, who led the Yellow Flag Drama Troupe established by Mr. Bach to perform throughout the country, and her reputation spread throughout Vietnam; she married Nguyen Bao, who formed his own Truong Phung Hoa Drama Troupe and moved towards becoming a "veteran artist".

Last year, Zhang Fenghao and Ruan Bao's marriage ended, and their longtime partner, Wu Zhu Die Weng, who was also known as "Wu the Man and Zhang the Woman," got married. Both of them had been married four times and were celebrities, making them a very good match. It was almost as if they were not trying to tarnish the true "color" of artists.

During Zhang Fenghao and Ruan Bao's marriage, Zhang treated her stepson as her own. Perhaps this is why they remained friends even after their separation. When Long Xuemei was evaluating Ruan Bao's investment value, she saw the combination of Zhang Fenghao and Wuzhu's fame and Ruan Bao's financial resources. Conversely, Ruan Bao was interested in the professional and market development technologies that Jin Fugui Holdings could bring.

When the investment project came into Xian Yaowen's hands, what interested him most was not the project itself, but the details. In her report to him, Long Xuemei mentioned that when she was conducting a background check on Ruan Bao, she had consulted Ruan Wenshao about some things. It turned out that Ruan Bao's son, Ruan Qing, had some connection with Ruan Wenshao.

After reviewing Nguyen Khanh's information, Sin Yiu Man was almost certain that this Nguyen Khanh was the same Nguyen Khanh he knew, a link in the power food chain of South Vietnam.

Bao Dai was overthrown by Ngo Dinh Diem, who was overthrown by Duong Van Minh, who was overthrown by Nguyen Khanh, and Nguyen Khanh was succeeded by Nguyen Van Thieu...

Sin Yiu-man found it quite interesting, and he had the idea of ​​optimizing the formula and changing history.

Despite the small size of the Southern Yue territory, the efficiency of NPCs in generating gold coins is quite high. Historically, the highest-return investment business has been the war for tax collection rights, and no other business has a higher profit margin.

Of course, high returns are often accompanied by high risks, and the probability of losing everything is extremely high.

However, as long as it's just a matter of losing money but not your life, this kind of investment is still worth trying. Money is worthless; if you lose it, you can earn it back. Losing a little is just losing a little. A life without experiencing the struggle for supremacy is incomplete. To experience the thrill, Sin Yiu-man is willing to buy a standing ticket when flying.

Well, buying a platform ticket and sneaking on the plane without paying isn't out of the question.

Like a devout gambler, a single hand can determine whether a wife is exclusively or shared, and also the class status of a child. Such a sacred matter should, in theory, take place in a more formal setting.

But gamblers don't really care about such external things. It's not unacceptable to set up the gambling table in a graveyard or a pigsty. At worst, if they win, they can beautify it, such as the "Ode to the Ancient War God's Cemetery" or the "Declaration of the Pigsty," which sounds sophisticated and can be put in history textbooks for people to recite and worship.

Pure people, who have transcended base desires, pursue higher, spiritual pleasures and are not overly concerned with material things.

Outside the building.

Papriya Darwani, wearing a sari and a headscarf, walked into the office carrying two thermos flasks. Nguyen Thi Tam Ho saw her and went to greet her.

"Papriya, what did you buy?"

"Iced soy milk, and chrysanthemum tea from Tongrentang."

Where did you buy the soy milk?

“With ginger juice.” Papriya chuckled.

"You did this on purpose?" Ruan Shi Tanhao frowned. "Why didn't you buy it from Uncle Guangfu's boatman?"

[Chú Ba Tàu was a respectful term used by South Vietnamese to refer to Chinese people before the 1950s. However, as North Vietnam gained power, it gradually became a derogatory term.]
Papriya chuckled, "I've been drinking soy milk with brown sugar for the past few days, let's change things up today."

Ruan Shi Tanhao pouted, "I prefer to have breakfast at Uncle San's boat in Guangzhou, but I never go to Uncle San's boat in Chaozhou."

"Tan Hao, you're so strange. You're Vietnamese, yet you don't like ginger juice. I like to go to the Chaozhou breakfast stall near my house. The ginger soy milk and fried dough sticks with fish sauce are delicious."

“Vietnamese people can also dislike ginger juice,” Nguyen Thi Tam Ho retorted, touching the inside of each of the two thermos flasks before opening the one with the higher temperature. “I’ll drink chrysanthemum tea. I’ll buy some mung bean soup for afternoon tea tomorrow.”

"Whatever you want, I'm going to the docks tomorrow."

"What goods have arrived?"

"Brazilian coffee and Cambodian rice... Sigh, the customer in Mumbai is in a hurry to receive the goods, and the transshipment must be completed tomorrow. I have to work overtime."

"We've already shipped three orders this month. Is there a severe rice shortage in Mumbai?"

Papriya poured herself a glass of iced soy milk and took a sip. "There's a drought in India, and many states are short of food. Many Sindh people have started trading rice, and my father is doing it too."

“You Sindh people really know how to do business,” Nguyen Thi Tam Ho said with a slightly sarcastic tone.

There are not many Indians (including Pakistanis) in Saigon, only a little over a thousand but less than two thousand, but the vast majority are merchants, textile merchants who monopolize the import of high-end fabrics, pawnshop owners and usurers, others are civil servants, religious personnel, and the worst are police officers.

Indians have a good image of "wealth" in Saigon, but their reputation is not so good, because the Sindh people who lend money at high interest rates never show mercy to debtors who cannot repay their debts or interest on time.

However, Indians are generally wealthy, so there are fewer thugs among them. Debt collection is often outsourced to the Teochew gang or they directly hire independent Teochew thugs. This has resulted in Teochews not having a good reputation among the Vietnamese hawkers who are the main debtors.

Of course, this causal relationship is secondary. The main reason is that the main force of loan sharks and pawnshop operators are the Teochew and Fujian gangs. However, the people of Xinde probably do not think that loan sharks will become villains, more conspicuous, and more likely to be cursed by the Vietnamese.

Conversely, Chinese practitioners have a clear understanding, are more low-key in their work, and know how to extract profits while offering minimal benefits. They are more successful than Indians in building their public image.

Papriya shook her head and said, "Tan Hao, don't just look at the bad side. If no one is willing to lend money, the lives of many vendors will be even worse."

"Okay, let's not talk about that. You serve the afternoon tea. I have two documents that I need to deal with urgently."

Papriya shook her head. "Okay, I'll do it."

A few moments.

Papriya entered the reception room carrying two cups of chrysanthemum tea, interrupting He Liren and his client Chen Cheng, who were having a conversation.

Sin Yiu-man was eager to bring Lung Hok-mei back to his side, so Lung Hok-mei adjusted the organizational structure in Saigon and, as instructed by Sin Yiu-man, appointed Ho Lai-yan as the general manager of Kam Fu Kwai Holdings. She was to keep him in charge for a while, and once Ho Lai-yan was able to take on the responsibility, he would return as soon as possible.

Currently, the business of Jin Fugui Holdings is mainly handled by He Liren.

Papriya placed the teacup down, and He Liren gestured for him to drink, "Mr. Chen, have some tea."

Chen Cheng thanked him and awkwardly raised his teacup in greeting.

He was facing a foreigner who spoke authentic Cantonese, and the foreigner had to speak Vietnamese and Mandarin to accommodate his accented Teochew dialect. He felt a lot of pressure and even a little inferior.

He fled the war with his parents from the countryside of Chaozhou to the embankment when the War of Resistance broke out. At that time, his family was poor and he went to work as a handyman in his father-in-law's semi-manual cooking oil factory before he had fully grown up. The factory's business was mainly to purchase peanuts and soybeans, press them into cooking oil, and then distribute them to the market for sale. He was responsible for washing the cooking oil barrels.

He works diligently, and after completing his own tasks, he voluntarily helps other workers by cleaning the floor and keeping the workplace spotless.

Hard work pays off. His performance won the favor of his father-in-law, who soon promoted him to supervisor of all cleaning work. As supervisor, he assigned the lighter tasks to his colleagues and took charge of the heavier ones himself. He did his work in an orderly manner, which further endeared him to his father-in-law.

His diligence and leadership potential prompted his father-in-law to reassign him to purchase peanuts and soybeans in rural areas of western provinces. He went deep into remote and impoverished areas, purchasing from farmers at reasonable prices, fulfilling all his promises, and keeping accurate records.

His integrity not only won the trust of farmers, who prioritized selling their crops to him, ensuring a constant supply of goods, but also won the favor of his father-in-law, who frequently rewarded him with bonuses and eventually married his daughter to him, putting him in charge of the factory's raw material procurement business.

In this way, he traveled all over Vietnam and even expanded into Cambodia to purchase raw materials, turning Cambodia into a major source of raw materials. Increased raw materials meant increased production and income, so his father-in-law decided to lend him a large sum of money to start his own business.

From then on, he first became a supplier for his father-in-law's cooking oil factory, and then gradually moved towards becoming a supplier for all of Vietnam's cooking oil factories.

While his career was making great strides and his wealth was increasing, his heart began to itch. On the one hand, he was not in sync with his wife, and their marriage was more like his enduring hardship to achieve success. On the other hand, he would covet any beautiful woman he saw outside.

When he first came into contact with Jin Fugui Holdings, the person he dealt with was a woman named Long Xuemei. This woman was not only beautiful, but also a very influential figure in the embankment. She suddenly appeared and quickly made friends with powerful figures in the embankment. She also established business relationships with many big businessmen. She was very shrewd and had extraordinary insight.

If it were up to him, he would want a wife like Long Xuemei.

However, "that kind" is not Long Xuemei. This woman has caught the eye of many powerful figures. Some want to take her as a concubine, while others want to take her as their daughter-in-law. But she remains unmoved by the explicit and implicit advances from all sides. As a result, most people's comments have changed from guessing that the person who slept with her mother is awesome to firmly believing that the person who slept with her is awesome.

Those with inside information have pinpointed the half-Tang-Fan in Hong Kong.

To him, Long Xuemei was someone he had to look up to and fawn over, not to mention the person behind her who could control her.

On the other hand, he was not satisfied with the "wealth flowing in" at this time. This was just a nice-sounding term. In reality, wasn't he just a middleman who went to the countryside to buy agricultural products?

He pretends to be a good person to the peasants on one hand, and carefully flatters the customers on the other. He has to maintain good relationships to prevent the business from slipping away, and he also has to carefully collect payments. He pays cash on delivery, but not for payment. If the payment is delayed for two months, it could ruin him.

Being a middleman is not a good business at all. If he's tied to this, he'll never become a tycoon. He needs to find other ways and develop new businesses.

After much deliberation, he set his sights on Ajinomoto. He had been eyeing it for some time and had even visited Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan to observe and investigate. He was confident in the production technology and market. Therefore, he had to find a partner in Jin Fugui Holdings, a company that "invests in other people's businesses," to raise funds and leverage its influence.

Jin Fugui Holdings dabble in every business imaginable—grain, fruit, rubber, primary industrial products—they take whatever they can get their hands on. He hadn't understood it before, but a trip to Hong Kong made it clear. They held a huge market in their hands, and by bringing Jin Fugui Holdings on board, his Ajinomoto could guarantee a significant share of sales. (End of Chapter)
