1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 579 The Emperor of Hong Kong!

"Mr. Li!"

In the office, Four-eyed Dragon, who was wearing glasses, greeted Li Jiacheng with a smile.

Judging from his appearance alone, it is hard to tell that Xiang Yan is the leader of a society. He wears glasses and a well-tailored suit, and looks more like a well-mannered business elite.

But Li Jiacheng will not underestimate this junior.

Xiang Yan is a young man who was able to turn the tide when his father abdicated and Xinji was besieged on all sides, and lead the entire family to move forward together. His skills are obvious to all.

You have to know that the prime minister had four wives and gave birth to more than a dozen children. In such an industry, if it were an ordinary family, it would have fallen apart long ago.

However, Xiang Yan has firmly controlled the power of the family. Up to now, the more than ten brothers and sisters are not very close to each other, but there has been no internal strife, which shows his ability.

"Ayan is here, please sit down!"

Li Jiacheng knew the other party's intention and smiled slightly.

Xiang Yan glanced at the other person. Although Mr. Li was from Chaoshan and they were all from Chaoshan, they did not have many interactions with each other. He was a person who was extremely careful about his reputation.

Of course, the fact that there aren't many intersections doesn't mean there aren't any intersections. From his plastic flower factory to the later industrial building, there were bound to be some underworld affairs involved, and these underworld affairs were naturally settled with the help of Xinji.

Afterwards, Mr. Li gave enough money, so although their relationship was not close, he was still considered a big water tap for their new friends.

If it were any other matter, Xiang Yan would not have come, but this time, the matter was too big.

"I didn't expect this change. I thought that Jardine Matheson would just move some of their minions, but I didn't expect them to make such a big move."

"This is 20 million. You can take it back and give it to those brothers as resettlement allowance. If they have elderly mothers or children to support, I can also make arrangements for them."

At this time, Li Jiacheng took out a check and pushed it in front of Xiang Yan, saying gently.

Xiang Yan looked at the other person and couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

Regardless of other things, this Mr. Li will never let you suffer any loss when doing things. Twenty million is enough, whether it is to compensate those subordinates or to give an explanation to Xinji.

"Mr. Li, actually, I'm here for more than just this. There's one more thing I want to make clear to Mr. Li."

"As early as last year, I actually told my brothers not to touch Xiao Baosheng's industry."

"But money is attractive. Mr. Li has his own connections, and he also has brothers who want money. This time I lost my life, so strictly speaking, it can't be blamed on Mr. Li."

Xiang Yan pushed up his glasses and said calmly.

This time, it was not his intention that Xinji's subordinates took action. Of course, theoretically speaking, this kind of "small matter" would not alarm him. After all, his subordinates have their own ways of making money and would not report everything to the boss.

"This time it was my people who failed to do their job well and caused trouble for you, A Yan. If you have any demands, you can tell me, A Yan."

Li Jiacheng was quite straightforward at this moment. He had indeed underestimated Bao Zeyang.

I originally thought I was just using a few minions to scout the way, but I didn't expect the other party to retaliate and directly block the road.

So when facing Xiang Yan, he was too lazy to say anything more and just wanted to get the matter over with quickly.

In the end, I was just hoping for a lucky break and used the methods of a gangster.

Xiang Yan shook his head: "Actually, I don't have any demands. I came here this time just to tell Mr. Li that Xinji will no longer take actions against the Bao family."

"After I go back, I will sternly tell the brothers below that if something like this happens again, they will bear the consequences themselves and the society will not intervene!"

"So I hope Mr. Li can understand that we can cooperate on other things, but Xinji will no longer cooperate with Bao's industry, especially Xiao Baosheng's industry."

Xiang Yan said calmly to Li Jiacheng.

Li Jiacheng frowned when he heard this.

"Ah Yan, I'm curious, why do you feel so scared of the Bao family?"

"Is Xinji so afraid of that young man?"

Although the Sun Kee Gang is not as powerful as it was when Lui Lok was in power, it is still one of the three major tribal groups in Hong Kong Island, and its sphere of influence is mainly in Central and Kowloon.

It can be said that this force occupies the most lucrative area in Hong Kong Island. Would such a force be so afraid of Bao Zeyang?

Back then, they all dared to go against the Hong Kong government.

Xiang Yan shook his head gently: "It's not fear, but something to ask for!"

After thinking about it, he thought that it might be a good idea to be honest with Li Jiacheng. After all, he was their big tap, and there might be a time in the future when he would need help from Li Jiacheng.

So Xiang Yan decided to explain.

"Mr. Li may not know that Macau Entertainment on the Australian Island is now owned by Mr. Bao!"

"what?"

Hearing Xiang Yan's words, Li Jiacheng's expression changed and he looked at Xiang Yan in surprise.

"Isn't Macau Entertainment owned by the He family? How did it become Bao Zeyang's property?"

The He family is not someone who can be bullied. Even though Dr. He from Australia Island is not a direct descendant of the He family, they are from the same family after all, and even if the two sides break bones, they are still connected.

In this case, how could Bao Zeyang get STDM?

unless?

"The specific reason is unclear, but now we all know that Macau Entertainment is no longer named He, but has been owned by Xiao Baosheng, although Dr. He is still the manager."

"And there will be a new rule in the future for Macau Entertainment, which is to rent out the casinos. They will auction off the casinos in their hands in the form of contracting."

"Now, not only Xin Kee, but also Zi Mo Bang, Hutchison Whampoa, Lian Gong Le, Lian Ying She, etc. are all eyeing the casino of STDM."

"Mr. Li should know very well how much profit a casino can make."

"Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Xinji to come into conflict with Xiaobao, and major societies will not do so either."

"To be honest, if it wasn't for Li Sheng's people who found the people below this time, I wouldn't have agreed to Xinji taking action."

Xiang Yan said calmly to Li Jiacheng.

After hearing this, Li Jiacheng's expression suddenly turned ugly.

He didn't expect that Bao Zeyang had quietly taken over STDM, and that the other party even put the casino inside up for auction?

what does this mean?
The money-making ability of STDM is no less than that of a bank. It is only because of its uniqueness and the fact that it is controlled by the Ho and Fok families that many people, although salivating over it, have never dared to make a move.

Now that Bao Zeyang has taken over STDM, it means that he has a money-printing machine that can continuously generate cash. This will force Li Jiacheng to re-evaluate his financial strength.

In addition, there is another very important point, which is what Xiang Yan said today.

Once the gambling hall is contracted out, Bao Zeyang will become the emperor of several large gangs in Hong Kong Island. After all, as long as a gang can get a gambling hall, it will be a huge fortune for them.

Because the casinos in Australia are super money printing machines that can make money openly. The most important thing is that for these communities, in addition to making money, the casinos have a more important role.

That is, they can launder a lot of their shady funds and turn them into legitimate income. This also means that their lifeblood will be in Bao Zeyang's hands at that time.

So, this young man Bao Zeyang is about to become the emperor of Hong Kong's underground forces?
this.
Li Jiacheng had experienced the era of the Four Inspectors of Hong Kong Island. He knew very well how much influence these people who controlled the power of underworld organizations could have on business.

In particular, Bao Zeyang is not a fool like Lui Lok who only cares about money. Judging from his reactions in the past few days, his business thinking is extremely brilliant, and his counterattacks against Hutchison are one after another.

From overt to covert, from brand reputation to customer experience, Hutchison Whampoa was suppressed in all aspects.

What if such a person was allowed to control the entire underground forces of Hong Kong Island?
So how far should he go?
Cover the sky with one hand?
Turn X Port into Baojia Port?

Li Jiacheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this moment.

"Mr. Li, I don't know what the conflict is between you and Bao, but Xinji will no longer be involved in the following matters. I hope Mr. Li can understand."

"Farewell!"

Actually, Xiang Yan came here mainly to make this statement to Li Jiacheng.

After all, for Xinji, this is a big deal. No one else in the society can come, so only he can come forward.

After leaving Li Jiacheng's office, Xiang Yan sighed.

Next, we have to go to Jardine Matheson and apologize in person!

After Xiang Yan left, Li Jiacheng sat there with a frown on his face.

The information Xiang Yan provided him today caught Li Jiacheng off guard!

He always thought that after Bao Zeyang acquired the Hong Kong Swire Properties, his focus had been overseas and he had not made much move in Hong Kong Island, so he did not have any industries.

As a result, the other party took over STDM quietly in one fell swoop, and at the same time, they used a magical move to deal with STDM and used this company to pry open the underground forces in Hong Kong Island.

This made Li Jiacheng a little confused.

One Jardine Matheson is already a behemoth, okay, now add STDM to the mix, and there’s also the hidden community power?

How to play this?
It's okay to be lucky, but you have to be unparalleled in the country?

Li Jiacheng couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed and a little regretful at this moment.

My action this time was too reckless. I shouldn't have acted without investigation.

I'm still jealous of him!
Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Jiacheng knew very well that he was jealous of Bao Zeyang.

The first company he targeted was Hutchison Whampoa, but he failed to get it and let the Bao family take over it. That’s fine.

After all, he got Hutchison Whampoa in the backhand, so it was a draw.

However, no one expected that when the Bao family was taking advantage of the battle for Hutchison Whampoa, a Bao Zeyang suddenly appeared and swallowed up the Jardine Matheson in one breath.

That’s Hong Kong Land, the best real estate company in the entire Hong Kong Island.

Whenever he thought of this, Li Jiacheng's eyes turned red!
With the addition of Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf Holdings, the Pao family has actually swallowed up Jardine Matheson Holdings.

The most important thing is that it was he who handed over the knife to Tun Yihe.

So in fact, deep down in Lao Li's heart, he has always been envious, jealous and resentful about this matter, and he can't get over it.

He didn't have the courage to take action against Bao Yugang, but he always wanted to take action against Bao Zeyang, with the intention of teaching this junior a lesson and venting his anger at the same time.

But now it seems like we have hit a wall.

This guy's power is now no less powerful than Bao Yugang's, or even stronger?

It’s time to clean up!

Li Jiacheng couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows and think silently in his heart.

I'm afraid it won't work to ask Shen Bi for this matter.

Originally, Shen Bi was not very willing to get involved in this matter. Now that he was persuaded by him and finally got involved, he wanted to surrender first. How would Shen Bi look at him?

Therefore, we cannot look to Shen Bi for help in this matter, nor can we even look to the British forces.

As for Hong Kong Island, apart from the British side, the only thing left is the North!

Li Jiacheng quickly came up with an idea in his mind. He thought that the North would not want to see the emergence of a powerful family, especially since this person had integrated the underground forces in Hong Kong Island.

Who should I contact?

Li Jiacheng sat there, thinking constantly in his mind, and slowly a suitable figure emerged.

On the other hand, Xiang Yan, who came all the way to the Hong Kong Land Group, hit a wall. He wanted to make an appointment to meet Xiao Baosheng, but was told that Xiao Baosheng had left Hong Kong Island long ago and went on a business trip overseas.

As for where he went, the other party certainly wouldn't tell him.

Xiang Yan had no choice but to return home, but then he issued a strict ban within the society, and anyone who attacked Bao's businesses again would be dealt with according to the gang rules.

Although this caused some complaints internally, the senior management of Xinji were all aware of the changes at Macau Entertainment and understood Xiang Yan's decision.

After all, it's about making money, so what's wrong with lowering your head?

And what is Li Changhe doing at this moment?

He's moving!

The villa on the Hai D side was bought a long time ago. It is not particularly big, but it has its own door and yard, and its own garage. In this era, it is considered a top-notch living environment.

After Zhu Lin bought the house, she was not in a hurry to move in. One reason was that she wanted to wait for Li Changhe to come back before moving in. After all, such a big event requires the intervention of the man in the family.

Secondly, after the house was bought, some renovations were also carried out, including water and electricity.

Although Zhu Lin doesn't know about the future, after living with Li Changhe for these years, she has some understanding of some standards for improving living standards. Moreover, she has also seen some luxury house designs overseas, including some old villas in Shanghai.

Therefore, after getting the house, she did some renovating to it, including buying new furniture and appliances, and redecorating it inside and out.

Just in time, these repairs were completed before Li Changhe returned.

So now that Li Changhe has returned, the family started moving.

"We are moving here, is this all we have?"

Looking at the things the three people had packed up in the living room, Zhu Lin didn't know what to say.

When other people move, they carry all kinds of stuff in large and small bags, but Li Changhe and his friends were moving at this moment. Wow, they only had three suitcases, one for each person, and they were just filled with some clothes.

"You've already bought new clothes over there, so why don't we just bring some clothes?"

"Come on, let's go, I haven't seen it yet!"

Li Changhe threw the suitcase on the van, then drove Zhu Lin and Gong Xue to his new home.

He was quite looking forward to seeing how Zhu Lin would decorate the new home.
