Chapter 471 Chen Taotao's Advice
The next day, Li Fu took Qi Qi to work and then went to Chen Taotao's place.

Coincidentally, we also arrived at Dashan.

"Mr. Li, you've come to visit Tao Tao too?"

Da Shan held Li Fu in high esteem; everyone in Hung Hing knew that Li Fu was Lin Feng's trusted confidant.

The fact that Li Fu was able to come here further demonstrates how much Lin Feng values ​​Chen Taotao.

For Lin Feng, Chen Taotao and other veterans of Yum! Brands had more than just respect for him.

Respect is one thing, but it's more about admiration and awe.

Think about what Yum! Brands was like before it was established.
They were almost killed by Chen Wanxian!
Lin Feng pointed out the drawbacks of the "Iron Chain Connecting the River," which practically saved Chen Taotao's career.

It also saved the careers of people like Dashan.

The major task undertaken by Yum! Brands after its establishment can be described as a snake swallowing an elephant.

No one expected that a small, fledgling fund would dare to target the wealthy corporation, yet Lin Feng dared to do so.

The strategy of Yum! Fund was entirely devised by Lin Feng. To put it bluntly, they were just a group of shrewd traders!

However, the results achieved were enormous.

Yum! Brands not only made a huge profit with a small investment, but also gained many other benefits, such as establishing a solid foundation with local banking capital.

It can be said that after Yum! Brands made a name for itself, Dashan and others gained a status in the industry that they could not have imagined before.

Da Shan had even heard that economics schools in the Western world had included their operation to target the Dafuhao Group as a teaching example in their textbooks.

This is the highest honor.

And all of this was brought about by Lin Feng.

How could he not show respect to Lin Feng's representative?

Li Fu smiled:
"Dashan, this isn't the first time we've met, why be so reserved?"

"Let's go see Tao Tao."

Da Shan quickly said:
“Tao Tao’s home is similar to mine, I’ll lead the way.”

Li Fuwan'er.

He really comes here often, and because Chen Taotao has difficulty moving around, these regular customers are even more familiar with his home than Chen Taotao himself.

The reason, of course, is that this luxury mansion in Repulse Bay was a reward given to Chen Taotao by Lin Feng.

As a key contributor to the acquisition of the Dafuhao Group, Chen Taotao received a substantial reward from Lin Feng.

Not only does he have a lot of wealth, but he also owns two luxury homes.

One apartment is on the hillside, and the other is in Repulse Bay.

Among Lin Feng's subordinates, Chen Taotao's reward was unique.

Of course, Chen Taotao also deserves this reward.

The reason they didn't live halfway up the mountain was because Chen Taotao loved water.

The luxury mansion in Repulse Bay offers views of Victoria Harbour through the windows, creating a pleasant mood that naturally benefits Chen Taotao's rest and recuperation.

When Chen Taotao saw Li Fu coming over, he immediately tried to get up.

Li Fu quickly said:
"No, no, no, lying down is fine."

Chen Taotao still got up:

"I only broke a rib, and the doctor also told me to get up and walk around a bit every day."

"To be honest, I feel fine myself."

"But Nanzi won't let me leave the hospital."

"There's really nothing we can do."

Li Fu chuckled lightly:
“Nanzai is a good doctor. You are the patient, and this body does not belong to you for the time being.”

“I know you’re feeling bored, but you have to follow the doctor’s orders no matter what.”

"Otherwise, to indulge in pleasure for a short while and cause an old injury to flare up, resulting in a year of bed rest... it would be a complete loss."

Chen Taotao said sullenly:

"I know it!"

There are numbers to consider, but getting past Nanzi's hurdle won't be easy.

There was no other way; Nanzi truly carried out the tasks assigned by Lin Feng meticulously.

Chen Taotao immediately changed the subject:
"Mr. Li, you've come here because Brother Feng has something to tell you, right?"

Li Fu sighed:

“Brother Feng originally wanted to come by himself, but Hung Hing had just been reorganized and he had too many things to do, so he asked me to do it for him.”

Chen Taotao hurriedly said:
"It's good that Brother Feng is busy."

“If he comes, I simply can’t accommodate all the people he brings.”

Lin Feng is now the richest man in Hong Kong.

He now goes out surrounded by a large entourage.

It wasn't that he wanted to show off; it was purely for security reasons.

Not only did the top executives of Hung Hing solemnly instruct Li Fu to ensure Lin Feng's safety, but various parties in Hong Kong and his hometown also conveyed their messages.

Otherwise, the paparazzi in Hong Kong alone would have surrounded Lin Feng completely.

Hong Kong is a society for the wealthy, so the worship of money is a natural phenomenon.

The 20-year-old Hong Kong's richest man is definitely a hot topic.

The tabloids are full of all sorts of unofficial histories about Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's past has also been exposed, and countless people envy Liang Kun for being able to adopt Lin Feng when he was seven years old.

It can be said that Lin Feng is the key to generating traffic.

Even now, if he goes to the governor's banquet, he will be surrounded by a lot of people.

You can't even complain if you want to.

Li Fu, Lin Feng's secretary and bodyguard, naturally knew about this kind of troublesome matter.

Chen Taotao asked:
"What does Brother Feng want me to do?"

Li Fu explained:
"Nothing else, Brother Feng instructed you to acquire some media platforms in Wudu."

"TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, and so on."

Chen Taotao was taken aback:
"City of Fog?"

Li Fu asked:

Is there a problem?

Chen Taotao shook his head:

"What's the trouble?"

"The Hong Kong conglomerates were originally part of the Chongqing conglomerate."

"There are no obstacles to our acquisition of the company in Chongqing."

"but……"

After thinking about it, Chen Taotao voiced his concerns.

“While it is common for companies to be acquired in the Western world, it is different for media companies.”

"The city of Fog has very strict regulations in this regard."

Do I need to use an agent to hold the shares on my behalf?

Li Fu shook his head:
"You don't need to worry about that."

"The media platform acquired this time is not under Brother Feng's name."

Chen Taotao asked, puzzled:

"That is……?"

Li Fu explained:
"This was purchased for our brothers,"

"He is George, the newly appointed Secretary for Security of Hong Kong."

what? !

Chen Taotao said incredulously:
"Is George one of our own?"

Li Fu thought for a moment and said:

"George is not part of the Hung Hing faction. Strictly speaking, he is subordinate to Brother Fung."

"We're colleagues, you could say."

Chen Taotao couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"Brother Feng is amazing!"

"I never would have guessed that George was one of our own."

Li Fu also felt it was amazing:
"Who says it's not?"

"Brother Feng's charm is truly amazing."

Chen Taotao still found it unbelievable:

Is this true?

"If I remember correctly, George was previously the head of the political department of the police station... This position is not given to just anyone."

Li Fu exposed George's true colors completely:

"You're not mistaken."

"George was not only the former head of the political department, but he was also a senior agent of the Chongqing Telecommunications Bureau, both then and now."

Chen Taotao's mouth involuntarily opened wide.

"Not only that, George is also a member of the Cunningham family, and it has been decided that once this term is completed, he will marry a woman from the Cunningham family."

Chen Taotao said incredulously:
"With that background, how can he become one of us?"

Li Fu scoffed:
Is a member of the Cunningham family promising?

"He can't possibly be the head of the Cunningham family."

"To put it bluntly, the Cunningham family recruited him simply because George could strengthen the Cunningham family's power."

"George isn't stupid; he's a fanatical admirer of Brother Feng."

"He's one of our own."

Chen Taotao thought about it and realized it made sense.
"I think no one can resist Brother Feng's charm."

"If you put it that way, I understand."

“I will register a media company in the Cayman Islands under George’s name, and then acquire media platforms.”

“There are many local media outlets in Chongqing, which makes it convenient for us to acquire them.”

"However, we'll need George's detailed information then..."

Li Fu had already made preparations:
"Just set it up. When you need George's identity information, just call me and I'll send it to you."

Chen Taotao shrugged:

"That's not a problem."

Li Fu said softly:
"George's media company will be of great use to our group's future. Brother Feng instructed us not to be stingy with funds," Chen Taotao said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Yum! Fund's cash flow is not a problem at all."

As the head of a hedge fund, he has no shortage of cash flow.

It's hard to say how many wealthy people in Hong Kong want to buy Yum! Funds but can't find a way.

Chen Taotao was worried about how to deal with these things. He knew that wasting cash flow in the world of capital was the most shameful thing to do.

Money must be in circulation; otherwise, it will be subject to a lot of taxes if it sits in an account.

Chen Taotao would never waste it.

Li Fu didn't understand the reasoning behind it and asked:
"Won't allocating so much capital for acquisitions affect the subsequent operations of Yum! Brands?"

Chen Taotao laughed:
"Will not!"

"Not only will it not, it might even make a fortune."

what?
Chen Taotao explained the reasoning to Li Fu:
"Prices in Chongqing are indeed high, but the media outlets that we can acquire, whether they are radio stations, television stations, or newspapers, are actually small-scale or poorly managed."

“As long as we integrate them into a whole, they will instantly become a media group spanning the entire country of Onsa.”

"The stock price of this kind of thing is bound to rise."

"If we can just profit from a portion of it, we can earn ten times the wealth."

Li Fu looked at the beaming Chen Taotao with a complicated expression:

"You guys who play the finance game make money so fast."

Chen Taotao readily admitted it, but he said,

"That's just how this industry is: high risk, high reward."

"But then again, every day there are quite a few people who jump off buildings because of their own decisions."

"People frequently jump off the roof of the HSBC Securities Building."

"If it weren't for Brother Feng's guidance, I probably would have been one of them."

Li Fu remained silent.

These are gamblers, no matter how they try to disguise their identity, their gambler nature cannot be hidden.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Tao Tao, do you have a way to get a television station license?"

Chen Taotao asked curiously:
"Aren't we going to Onsa to make some acquisitions?"

Li Fu shook his head:
"Not from Chongqing, but from Hong Kong."

"You should know that Brother Feng has always wanted to acquire a television station license, intending to give it as a gift to Third Sister-in-law."

Chen Taotao understood:

"Let me think about it..."

Only a few license plates were issued in Hong Kong – Hong Kong is a small place with a total population of only six million.

The area covered by the radio station is also small.

If there are too many licenses, it will be extremely difficult for businessmen to make a profit even if they win the license.

The only solution is to restrict license plates.

Buying a license plate is a very troublesome thing.

Chen Taotao thought for a moment and said:
"It's not that there's no way, but George has to do it."

Li Fu said in astonishment:
"George?"

Chen Taotao explained:

"The foreigners issued three licenses in total, but the third one has clear restrictions, requiring a considerable amount of time to broadcast educational content."

Li Fu asked, puzzled:
"Isn't this bad?"

Chen Taotao smiled wryly:

"Hong Kong is a money-driven society. Citizens are already exhausted from work, and all they want to do in their free time is relax. Who would think about studying?"

"Not to mention that there should be a significant proportion of English programs."

Li Fu's face immediately darkened:

"English programs?"

"This is an attempt to sever our roots."

Chen Taotao sighed:
"That's not quite right to say that..."

"It's a misconception that Hong Kong people speak good English."

"How many universities are there in Hong Kong?"

"Less than one-tenth of the people are able to go to university."

"Many people dropped out of school early to work."

"The education channel doesn't have much viewership at all. Even if we acquire it, we'll most likely lose money."

Li Fu said coldly:
"We have different focuses."

"In your view, opening a TV station is just a money-losing scheme, but in my opinion, it's a vicious plot by foreigners to cut off our connection with the mainland."

"Hong Kong has been connected with the mainland for nearly two thousand years, but in less than a hundred years, it has become isolated from the mainland."

"what is the reason?"

"It's obviously a TV station advertisement."

Just as Chen Taotao was about to retort, he heard Li Fu ask,

Can you still speak Mandarin?

Chen Taotao immediately shut up!
Sorry, he really doesn't speak Mandarin.

Li Fu recalled what Lin Feng had said before:
"Hong Kong was originally a typical immigrant city, where people from all over the country gathered."

"The official language should have been Mandarin."

"But look around now, apart from the older generation, how many people can speak Mandarin?"

"They all speak Cantonese."

"However, this Cantonese is not standard, but rather a very typical Hong Kong colloquialism."

That's right, the Cantonese spoken in Hong Kong is actually a local dialect, and it's quite different from the mainstream language of Guangdong province.

"TV's Lao Liu uses day after day of propaganda to tell the people of Hong Kong that you are the most noble, your language is the most beautiful, and besides English, your language is the most beautiful."

"This kind of daily propaganda has made the younger generation in Hong Kong forget their roots."

"This achievement is so great that the government of Wudu should grant him a title."

Chen Taotao's pupils contracted. Damn it!
Brother Feng's desire to acquire the radio station license wasn't just to give Lok Wai-chun a job; he also wanted to find a platform to fight against the foreigners and set things right.

As Lin Feng's direct subordinate, he understood all too well the label attached to Lin Feng—loyalty and righteousness!
The smallest form of loyalty is being loyal to one's brothers; the greatest form of loyalty is being loyal to one's country.

Lin Feng has never stated his stance—he is absolutely a member of his hometown faction!
Therefore, his men have never been ambiguous about this matter.

Chen Taotao said in a deep voice:

"We could acquire Jiade's license."

"However, we need to push for legislation that would remove the restrictions on the length of educational programs."

"Even so, I have to say, this is not an easy thing to do."

Li Fu asked:

"why?"

Chen Taotao sighed:
"Hong Kong is a tiny place, yet it has to support six million people. The citizens live very tiring lives, so where would they find the time to listen to educational programs in Mandarin?"

Li Fu thought for a moment, then called Lin Feng and explained the situation.

Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Tao Tao's suggestion is excellent. You can contact George and ask him to use his connections at the Golden Club to limit the length of that English program."

"Just turn the English programs into Chinese programs."

Li Fu reminded him:
"Tao Tao said that Hong Kong citizens work too hard and have no time or energy to produce educational programs, let alone Mandarin programs."

Lin Feng disagreed:

"That's because they haven't found the right way."

Li Fu was stunned:

"Brother Feng, do you have a way to get them to listen to you?"

Lin Feng smiled:
"That's a matter of course."

Li Fu exclaimed in admiration:
"As expected of you, Brother Feng!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Fu was beaming with pride:

"Brother Feng said that as long as the English program is changed to a Chinese program, everything else is fine!"

Chen Taotao never doubted Lin Feng's abilities:
"If that's the case, I will naturally use my connections to help."

Li Fu was taken aback:
"You're using your connections?"

Chen Taotao chuckled:

"Mr. Li, you underestimate me, don't you?"

"Most of Yum! Brands' customers are from high society."

Li Fu was speechless.
"I forgot about that. You're too modest. Your Yum! Fund shares are so expensive, how could anyone buy them without connections?"

"They must all be members of high society!"

Chen Taotao nodded.

"Indeed."

"However, all funds operate in this way."

Good funds will sell well.

Li Fu nodded:
"Then, I'll leave this to you!"

Chen Taotao waved:

"Leave it to me, don't worry."

Li Fu reminded him:
"You just need to take care of the general direction; let Dashan and Zhanbo handle the rest."

"You are a patient now."

Chen Taotao smiled wryly:

"Actually, I'm already better..."

Li Fu shrugged:

“If you’re really all better, have Nanzi issue a certificate that you can be discharged from the hospital. When that happens, I’ll definitely throw you a recovery party so that all of us brothers can get together and relax.”

Chen Taotao was speechless—Nanzi may look tall and strong, but he's actually quite timid and always cautious in his actions.

Even if he recovers, he'll need to stay in bed for several months to fully recover...

Okay, don't even think about indulging yourself for a while.

Li Fu gently patted Chen Taotao, stood up, and said:

"Your health is your most important asset; you'll recover soon."
