Hong Kong General: Undercover and Liansheng, from 49 to leader

Chapter 142 [141] Love your country and yourself
Outside a Guangzhou restaurant, inside a Mercedes-Benz sedan.

"Little Wolf, what's the matter?"

After Lu Yaowen pondered for a moment, he asked with a smile.

"Brother Wen, I'm a little embarrassed to say this. I was bragging to others before, saying that I knew you very well."

"Now a boss's secretary came to me and said that his boss wanted to discuss a business deal with us and Liansheng, and hoped that I could help introduce him..."

There was a hint of embarrassment in Daquanlang's tone, and his acting was very good.

"Xiaolang, do you know which boss wants to discuss business with me?"

Lu Yaowen's eyes moved slightly and he said with a smile.

On the other end of the phone, Big Circle Wolf groaned for a moment and then slowly said, "United Publishing Company."

Hearing what Big Circle Wolf said, Lu Yaowen's eyes flashed slightly. Li Enze, the boss of United Publishing Company, is a giant in the publishing industry in Hong Kong Island. He owns many newspapers and publishing houses, but he has never stated his position to the outside world. He didn't expect that it was someone from the mainland.

Thinking of this, Lu Yaowen smiled and said, "Xiaolang, I have said it many times, I came out to vote for my brothers, if you come to me for help, I will definitely help you."

"Besides, you have found a business for the society. If we can negotiate it successfully, it will be a great achievement."

"Thank you, Brother Wen, for your kindness. I will contact the secretary right away."

Daquanlang put on a show and hung up the phone immediately after saying this. Three minutes later, he called Lu Yaowen back and told him that the other party invited him to have tea at Lu Yu Tea House at 4 pm.

"Okay, Xiaolang, tell the boss that I will be there on time."

After Lu Yaowen said this with a smile, he hung up the phone.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

On the other end of the phone, after hearing the busy tone from the receiver, Daquanlang immediately hung up the phone, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Chief, Lu Yaowen said he will be there on time."

"Well, you did a great job this time. Previously, the people from Section 7 connected with Xu Laosan from Xinji, and their section chief has been very proud of himself in front of me. This time, our section has directly connected with Lu Yaowen, and it's our turn to be proud of ourselves."

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Chief, Lu Yaowen is a very smart person. How should we talk to him?"

The big circle wolf asked with a smile.

“To deal with smart people, you don’t need to elaborate a set of lies. Just tell the truth directly, but don’t say everything. Let him think and speculate for himself.”

If Lu Yaowen heard this, he would definitely shout, "What a close friend!"
……

Four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yu Teahouse.

This is the oldest old Shanghai-style teahouse in Hong Kong Island. Ten or twenty years ago, many bigwigs in Hong Kong Island liked to talk business here. However, as time went by, the rich and politicians in Hong Kong Island switched to talking business in places like the Jockey Club Hall, yachts, golf courses, etc.

"Brother Wen, Tang Sibo, the manager of United Publishing Company, is already waiting for you in the box upstairs."

As soon as Lu Yaowen walked into Lu Yu Teahouse, the big circle wolf who had been waiting for a long time came up to him, got close to Lu Yaowen and whispered.

"Ah."

Lu Yaowen nodded slightly, then followed the big circle wolf up to the second floor.

Without Daquanlang telling him, Lu Yaowen knew that it was impossible for Li Enze to come to see him in person. Even though he was now the leader of Liansheng, the gap between him and Li Enze, the top tycoon, was still huge.

I guess they sent a manager to see me because they consider me to be 'patriotic', and this manager might have been sent from the mainland.

A few minutes later.

"Mr. Lu, let me introduce myself. I am Tang Sibo, the manager of United Publishing Company."

As soon as Lu Yaowen walked into the box, a middle-aged man in a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses stood up, smiled and extended his right hand to Lu Yaowen.

"Hello, Manager Tang."

Lu Yaowen and Tang Sibo shook hands, exchanged a few words, and then sat opposite each other.

"Manager Tang, I wonder if your United Publishing Company has any business that can help us and Liansheng?"

Lu Yaowen did not chat with Tang Sibo, but went straight to the point.

"Mr. Lu, have you ever heard of Li Zhihui?"

Tang Sibo asked with a smile while pouring tea for Lu Yaowen.

"Who in Hong Kong doesn't know the title of Paparazzi King?"

Lu Yaowen shook his head and smiled.

Li Zhihui started his career in the clothing business. A few years ago, he took out all the money he earned from the clothing business and started a fruit newspaper. From then on, the nightmare of the Hong Kong star began.

This guy hired hundreds of paparazzi to follow Hong Kong's famous celebrities 24 hours a day, making up all kinds of rumors and creating a lot of gossip. In just one year, the Fruit Daily became one of the top five newspapers in Hong Kong in terms of circulation.

During this period, some TV stations and celebrities also sued Li Zhihui, but the court dismissed the lawsuits on the grounds of freedom of speech. The heaviest punishment was a fine of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

After hearing Tang Sibo mention this name, Lu Yaowen immediately realized that this guy should be a mouthpiece specially trained by the foreigners. No wonder he almost drove many celebrities crazy. The court was still talking about freedom of speech. It turned out that he was one of them. If he did something wrong, he would naturally be fined three glasses of wine.

"Mr. Lu, this guy's methods are very despicable. He used many methods to mess with the newspapers under our United Publishing Company. Actually, let's forget about that. Recently, the Hong Kong Island Newspaper Association held an election, and this guy wanted to be a director, but his character was too bad, so Mr. Li didn't agree to let him get his wish."

"As a result, this guy acted like a mad dog, using all sorts of means to intimidate the editors-in-chief of our major newspapers and secretly threaten our distributors, which was very unsightly."

Tang Sibo spoke slowly.

"Mr. Tang, do you want us and Liansheng to help your United Publishing Company deal with Li Zhihui?"

Lu Yaowen's eyes moved slightly, and he asked with a smile.

If Tang Sibo nodded, Lu Yaowen would definitely get up and leave. Li Zhihui was the mouthpiece that the foreigners had spent a lot of effort to cultivate. If he went straight to him, it would be tantamount to turning against the foreigners. He, Lu Yaowen, would at least be permanently expelled from the country. He, Lu Yaowen, would never do such a thing.

If you have the strength, it doesn’t matter whether you love your country early or late. But if you don’t have the strength, you will never love your country.

"Mr. Lu, you are joking. We are serious businessmen and we are not as despicable as Li Zhihui. We just hope that Mr. Lu can come forward to persuade the association that helps Li Zhihui to be more restrained."

After hearing Lu Yaowen's question, Tang Sibo's eyes also flashed, and then he said with a smile.

After listening to Tang Sibo's words, Lu Yaowen nodded slightly. This sentence was very sincere. He was only using Lu Yaowen's name to deal with the society that helped Li Zhihui. It was a struggle between societies, a collision between "chamber pots" and "chamber pots".

"Mr. Tang, I wonder which society helped Li Zhihui do these immoral things?"

Lu Yaowen asked with a smile.

"Numbers help Yizi pile."

Tang Sibo replied immediately.

"Mr. Tang, what a coincidence. I just had lunch with Zhang Zhiyong at noon. He also invited me to go and support him next month."

Lu Yaowen laughed.

'...'

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, Tang Sibo's eyes moved slightly. After two seconds of silence, he said, "Mr. Lu, I know this matter is very troublesome. If you can help our United Publishing Company to solve this matter, every newspaper we publish will give you and Liansheng a 20-cent profit."

"..."

After hearing what Tang Sibo said, Lu Yaowen also fell into deep thought.

The 2 cents profit that Tang Sibo mentioned really is 2 cents for each newspaper. It may not sound like much, but if it is combined with the sales volume of hundreds of thousands of copies every day, the amount is quite considerable.

Moreover, by doing this business with United Publishing Company, we can also have a mouthpiece in the media, and a channel to express our opinions in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that having this long-term cooperative relationship is equivalent to getting a patriotic ticket.

Thinking of this, Lu Yaowen couldn't help but sigh that the mainland side had indeed taken all aspects into consideration, and had issued him, Lu Yaowen, an admission ticket, without letting him be targeted by the foreigners, and could also solve the difficulties currently faced by the United Publishing Company. This was definitely a master-level operation.

After thinking for more than ten seconds, Lu Yaowen smiled and said to Tang Sibo: "Mr. Tang, your United Publishing Company can use our and Liansheng's brands. If Zhang Zhiyong wants to attack you again, I will help you deal with him."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu."

Tang Sibo's eyes flashed, and he said to Lu Yaowen with a smile.

In the following time, Lu Yaowen and Tang Sibo chatted about all sorts of things and did not leave until 5:30 in the afternoon.

Originally, Tang Sibo wanted to invite Lu Yaowen to dinner, but Lu Yaowen had already made an appointment with Ailian, so he declined Tang Sibo's invitation.

"How about it?"

After Lu Yaowen left, the big wolf who had been waiting in the next box sat down in front of Tang Sibo and asked with a smile.

Tang Sibo did not rush to answer the question of the big circle wolf, but filled his teacup with water, drank the water in the teacup, and said lightly: "He nodded, but not completely."

"what?"

The big circle wolf was a little confused.

"I didn't tell Lu Yaowen anything."

Tang Sibo said lightly.

"Are you afraid that Lu Yaowen will reject you on the spot after he finds out?"

The big circle wolf asked curiously.

"You said before that Lawrence Lu wanted to win again with Liansheng, right?"

Tang Sibo asked the big circle wolf back.

"Well, it should be."

The big circle wolf nodded in response.

"This guy is very smart. Hong Kong is still ruled by the Eagles. If we tell him now, he may not agree. We should cooperate with him first and slowly deepen the relationship between us. We can confront him when necessary."

At this point, Tang Sibo paused for a moment, then slowly said: "My approach is also the safest for him. We must use this chess piece well."

……

At the same time, after Lu Yaowen left Lu Yu Teahouse and got in the car, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Mr. Long, it's me, Lu Yaowen."

After the call was connected, Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, what's the matter?"

Long Wei's voice came from the receiver.

"Mr. Long, I wonder what you and your agent think about my proposal to jointly set up an agency the night before last?" Lu Yaowen asked with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, my agent is very interested in your proposal, but there is one thing. My agent must have 100% control over my agency contract."

Long Wei wants to cooperate with Lu Yaowen, but does not want to be controlled by Lu Yaowen.

"Mr. Long, please tell your agent that I have another suggestion. After we set up the agency, any celebrity who signs an agency contract with us will be protected by us and Liansheng and will no longer be harassed by paparazzi. However, my shareholding needs to be increased to 70%."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

After hearing the first half of Lu Yaowen's words, Long Wei's eyes lit up. As a martial arts superstar, he was also the focus of paparazzi. He was very annoyed by these omnipresent paparazzi.

He was sure that if Lu Yaowen could really help solve the paparazzi problem, he would be able to attract many celebrities to sign contracts.

"Mr. Lu, how about this? Tomorrow night, I will treat you to a meal at the Peninsula Hotel, and then you can talk to my agent in person."

Long Wei said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Long, it's settled then."

Lu Yaowen responded with a smile.

Fruit Daily mainly reports on celebrity gossip. If the paparazzi were eliminated and its source of information was cut off, the sales of this newspaper would definitely be greatly affected.

This move by Lu Yaowen can not only recruit more stars for his future agency, but also legitimately undermine the sales foundation of Fruit Daily.

Love your country and love yourself.

……

That evening, Room 90, No. 302 Shanghai Street.

"?"

"Sister Ailian, is this the feast you told me about?"

Lu Yaowen looked at the two bowls of instant noodles on the table and felt a little confused.

"I have never cooked since I was a child. If you dare to eat the food I cooked, I will cook it now."

Ailian said faintly.

"No need, Sister Ailian, I actually like instant noodles."

Lu Yaowen forced a smile.

"I have already discussed it with Big Brother Pan and Apia. Hengji will join their company."

Ailian sat next to Lu Yaowen and said lightly.

"They would be so happy then."

Lu Yaowen laughed.

"I'm not only overjoyed, I can't wait to burn yellow paper with me and become sworn brothers and sisters of the opposite sex."

A smile also appeared on Ailian's face.

Then, Ailian continued, "Awen, what are you going to ask me to do?"

"Didn't Brother Pan say that if a club in the company is in trouble, the other clubs will help. We'll see if they will help Hengji when the time comes."

Lu Yaowen smiled slightly and said slowly.

……

That night, in the King's Park Villa District, inside Villa No. 9.

"Okay, I understand. Everyone, stop it. This matter ends here."

Zhang Zhiyong, the leader of Number Gang Yizidui, held the phone and spoke lightly.

"Damn it, when am I, Zhang Zhiyong, going to explain to Li Zhihui? If he comes to ask you, just tell him directly to come find me!"

After saying this, Zhang Zhiyong slammed his phone on the table.

"Dad, what happened?"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiyong's son Zhang Baishi immediately asked.

"People from United Publishing Company approached Lu Yaowen and used the He Liansheng brand."

Zhang Zhiyong said lightly.

"What? Doesn't Lu Yaowen know that we are setting up the United Publishing Company again? How dare he let the United Publishing Company use his name?"

After listening to his father's words, Zhang Baishi immediately asked.

"Lu Yaowen is now the leader of He Liansheng, and he has the final say within He Liansheng. Why wouldn't he dare?"

Zhang Zhiyong asked back.

"..."

Zhang Baishi thought for more than ten seconds, but couldn't think of a reason to refute. In the end, he could only say awkwardly, "Dad, you were scared by Lu Yaowen's signboard and didn't dare to take action. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if it got out?"

"This is a critical moment for us, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."

Zhang Zhiyong said slowly.

Then, without waiting for Zhang Baishi to speak, Zhang Zhiyong continued, "What's the situation at the Guo Group?"

"I heard from Ma Wenfeng that the Guo Group has already reached an agreement with the Portuguese in Haojiang, and the casino project should be implemented soon."

Zhang Baishi replied immediately.

"Well, our current task is to do our best to help Ma Wenfeng get this project. As for other things, you can put them aside for now."

Zhang Zhiyong said lightly.

"Lu Yaowen got a great bargain this time."

Zhang Baishi was very jealous of Lu Yaowen, a peer of his.

"Bai Shi, put away this idea of ​​yours. When we are out there, the most important thing is to be able to see our own strength clearly. Don't think that Lu Yaowen got an advantage. He relies on his strength."

Zhang Zhiyong glared at Zhang Baishi, scolded his son, picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Awen, it's me, Zhang Zhiyong."

After the call was connected, Zhang Zhiyong said with a smile.

"Brother Yong, what do you want me to do?"

On the other end of the phone, after hearing Zhang Zhiyong's voice, Lu Yaowen's eyes moved slightly and he asked with a smile.

"Awen, I heard that United Publishing Company used your and Liansheng's brands?"

Zhang Zhiyong asked this question deliberately.

"Yes, Manager Tang asked me to have tea this afternoon, hoping that I could help them. He and I have some friendship, so it's hard to refuse. Brother Yong, this matter is also my fault for not telling you in advance."

Lu Yaowen replied with a smile.

"Awen, if it was anyone else, I would definitely not give them face, but you are different. I will definitely give you face. Don't worry, starting tonight, no one will harass the United Production Company anymore."

Zhang Zhiyong said slowly.

"Thank you, Brother Yong, for giving me this face."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

Then, Zhang Zhiyong chatted with Lu Yaowen for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

Hearing the busy tone in the receiver, Lu Yaowen hesitated for a moment and dialed Tong En's number.

"Tong En, find a way to find out what Zhang Zhiyong from the Number Gang is busy with recently."

Lu Yaowen didn't believe that his signboard could scare Zhang Zhiyong. This guy was either busy with other things and couldn't spare the energy to deal with him, or he had big ambitions.

No matter which situation it is, Lu Yaowen must investigate it thoroughly.

"understand!"

On the other end of the phone, Tong En immediately nodded in response.

The next morning, Yao Wen Film Company.

"Brother Wen, Deng Wei is looking for you."

Gao Gang walked into Lu Yaowen's office and spoke to Lu Yaowen.

"Deng Wei is looking for me?"

After hearing Gao Gang's words, Lu Yaowen's eyes narrowed slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "Bring him over."

A few minutes later.

"Uncle Deng, if you have anything to say, just give me a call. Why come here in person?"

Lu Yaowen stood at the door of the office, supported Deng Wei and sat on the sofa.

"Awen, you are the leader now. Your status is different. There is something I want to tell you in person."

Deng Wei looked deeply at Lu Yaowen, who was smiling, and spoke slowly.

"Dumbo, please speak."

Lu Yaowen sat opposite Deng Wei and said with a smile.

"Awen, I have been helping the society since I was twelve years old. It has been decades. Now I am old and can no longer do it. I have already found a nursing home in the North District. I will live there in the future. I will not interfere in the affairs of the society anymore."

Deng Wei looked at Lu Yaowen and spoke slowly, word by word.

Hearing Deng Wei's words, Lu Yaowen's eyes flickered slightly, and he instantly understood that this old man wanted to run away because he saw that he and Liansheng were the only ones in the market...
