My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 690 If I can't be a father, should I be a son?

This is the current situation.

Lao Fang said that this has actually happened in many places, and now it's just a back-and-forth struggle.

For example, in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, which underwent reforms a few years ago, some township enterprises had already achieved an annual output value of over 100 million yuan!
The factory's so-called "Ten Heavenly Kings" were shareholders, salespeople, and factory managers who emerged in response to the reform and opening-up policy, and they all made hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan.

Around 1980!
Isn't that amazing...?

So in 1982, a crackdown on speculation and profiteering was launched, and eight of them were arrested, sentenced, and required to pay back taxes.

During the same period, a car tycoon emerged in southern Henan who resold hundreds of cars. Even though he only made a few dozen yuan on each car, he was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.

All the businesses and private individuals have fled.

It wasn't until... well, it was the case of Shangzhou published in the Sunshine Daily that the confidence of private business owners across the country was restored.

Yu Qili was actually absorbed by the tail end of the previous movement.

The old leader was a bit slow and lagging behind.

The isolated and remote Shangzhou lagged behind the pace of development in Jiangsu and Zhejiang by a whole wave.

But it was Wei Dong who truly spearheaded this new rhythm.

Therefore, the lesson from the past is that no matter how protracted or volatile the situation, there must be a legitimate reason for the action; one cannot simply arrest someone for speculation and profiteering.

Because everyone knows that if they keep arresting and killing people, no one will dare to believe it anymore, at least not for the next few years.

So it shouldn't be that dangerous. If Lao Fang gives you a talisman, it should basically protect you from going to jail.

Wei Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The rest of the work is indeed simple.

Orphans and widows move to the western industrial zone to work and go to school.

The industrial park can solve the household registration problem.

As for inheritance...

The alluring Li Xuehong only spent one night sorting out the financial matters and persuading all parties. The next morning, she brought Fengchi Company to seek refuge with them.

Wei Dong had already crossed the border and left overnight.

When Li Xuehong saw that it was actually a bigwig from a major state-owned enterprise group sitting there, she was so frightened that she almost knelt down!

Old Fang doesn't deal with these shady characters. He told Wei Dong to go to Hong Kong on business and just do what he needs to do, and wait for him to come back and handle things.

Damn it, I didn't even have a proper time visiting my family, and now I'm back to work...

The more he grumbled and cursed in his post-holiday work rage, the more terrified Li Xuehong became.

The fact that Wei Dong could "frustrate" such a big shot to the point of helplessness shows just how awesome he is right now...

No matter how powerful Wei Dong is, he still manages to get through the ordeal while cursing and swearing.

The mother of two children was considering the bigger picture and was willing to sacrifice her own safety by staying in the most dangerous place.

This intensified Wei Dong's sense of moral guilt, leading him to personally drive the car back to Guangzhou Airport and return the Peugeot along the way.

The Gaoyuan sisters also came back. There were a bunch of Filipino maids doing things there, and the two of them felt lost. The third sister said that they should go back to Jiangzhou to take care of Chongchong and Xiaodie.

Mao'er and Shi Tou will definitely follow Wei Dong, because Shen Cuiyue is temporarily staying in Hong Kong because she sees that the underworld needs her two younger brothers to help out.

To everyone's surprise, the princess cried all the way back and refused to follow, clinging to her father's shoulder like a koala, refusing to let go no matter what.

Because my flight was for the next day, I would have to wait until the next day to take the special train between Guangdong and Hong Kong.

The family checked into a hotel that night. The mother of the second child wanted to relax before leaving, but Xiaodie didn't want to go with her older sister, afraid of being separated from her.

Finally, after they were coaxed to sleep, the two of them went to the bathroom to get intimate.

Dong Xueqing also felt that soaking in the bathtub and on the sink was a particularly pleasant experience.

Back in bed, they would hug each other and chatter all night.

Wei Dong couldn't say anything sweet or tender, but he promised to try to go back to Jiangzhou every month.

Fengchu chuckled to himself, thinking that once he had conquered the entire Jiangzhou territory, Shen Laosan would definitely not return to Jiangzhou in the future.

The level of contact this time in Hong Kong will definitely be different from the last time.

Shen Cuiyue was indeed considering staying here, and even Qin Yuye was better off staying in Shanghai so as not to compete with her for territory.

The reason is simple: Hong Kong has triads.

It wasn't until Wei Dong took the mother, daughter, and their sister to the airport the next day, returned the car, and then took his two younger brothers and daughter by train to Hong Kong that he fully understood the whole story.

As Wei Dong stepped out of the station in Tsim Sha Tsui, he clearly felt a sense of freedom.

The feeling that capitalists would feel oppressed and burdened in mainland China only became clear when they arrived in Hong Kong.

Those who don't have this feeling are either not fat enough or lack knowledge.

Actually, it's not like those Hong Kong movies where the streets are full of gangsters and thugs.

What you see most often are groups of two or three police officers patrolling the streets.

They were quite polite. Seeing that the three brothers and the little girl were clearly from mainland China, they checked their documents professionally and found that Wei Dong had a genuine temporary ID card. They even welcomed him back to Hong Kong. Up until then, Wei Dong had no idea that his future life in Hong Kong would involve various unfortunate connections with the police.

Mao skillfully took out the map from his backpack, and the three of them carried the baby home.

It's a distance of one or two kilometers that crosses the university.

This led Wei Dong to unconsciously shift from his frantic, competitive work in the mainland to a more relaxed, capitalist work style.

I watched some pickup basketball games with great interest at the public basketball court at the entrance of the community.

It was Qin Yuye who drove past the small hill intersection and saw the stone squatting idly by the roadside. He and Shen Laosan, feeling both annoyed and amused, dragged Rang Weidong home.

"What's wrong? You came from the main house but don't want to go to the concubine's place?"

Wei Dong might actually have this subconscious resistance in his mind.

Now, of course, he vehemently denies it: "What nonsense are you talking about, Third Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Cuiyue thought for a moment and started from the beginning: "You, Eleventh Brother, will talk about the problem on Boss Qin's side."

Back at the mansion, he changed into a beautiful set of loungewear and touched up his makeup before letting his wife sit comfortably on the sofa: "Didn't Lawson sign a lot of music video and karaoke tape copyright contracts with singers? His plan is to run the film company to make music videos for everyone, sell karaoke tapes, and split the profits from music video and karaoke tape sales 50/50. TV stations and public places will definitely pay him for using these tapes. That's a complete company operation. Just living off these ten-year contracts is enough for him, and he can free up his time to open a restaurant in Shanghai."

The Filipino maids brought out fruit tea, coffee, and snacks.

This would allow Wei Dong to feel comfortable, like a lord, nodding and listening attentively.

“But you were right. Since last year, hundreds of karaoke bars have sprung up all over Hong Kong. All young people are going to karaoke bars to sing karaoke. The revenue from these music videos and karaoke tapes has increased more than tenfold. Lawson earned more than HK$80 million last year!”

Wei Dong couldn't help but whistle.

This kind of money can't be earned in mainland China. It seems that music copyright revenue won't be available for at least 30 or 40 years, but the most lucrative karaoke era has already passed.

Qin Yuye now looks down on this money: "Most of this is actually the income from the right bank, with Hong Kong and Macau accounting for one-third. But it is clear that this is just the beginning. Karaoke bars and KTVs are just beginning to gain popularity, and there are huge profits to be made. Lawson's contract has only been in effect for two years."

Wei Dong understood: "Someone else has taken a liking to you?"

Qin Yuye nodded: "Those who run karaoke bars and nightclubs all have connections in the underworld. When law firms come to ask for money, they definitely have to pay. But many people have their eyes on this lucrative business. Lawson deliberately hid in Shanghai for this reason, which is to let law firms and accounting firms collect money freely. If they have the ability, they can come to the mainland to grab lucrative opportunities. It's too lucrative. Now, they don't care that he's in the mainland. The leader of the Makan gang has asked to take Lawson as his godson. He has to be one."

Wei Dong remained unconvinced: "Ma Kan's gang leader? Who does he think he is?"

Having just killed the villain two days ago, Wei Dong's violent temper hadn't subsided yet.

Qin Yuye and Shen Cuiyue were both a little surprised. It's not like we live in the age of cell phones anymore, so why would Wei Dong have the habit of reporting everything?

He didn't even tell Dong Xueqing, fearing that Erwa's mother would worry about the risks outside when she returned to Jiangzhou.

But Shen Laosan glanced at his two younger brothers sitting next to him and told her with his eyes that something had happened.

His wife gently explained the situation: "The triads in Hong Kong were doing alright, since only the entertainment industry frequently dealt with underworld figures. But it's different in Ma Kan. All the businesses around the casino there are connected to underworld figures, and a major incident happened there last year..."

It's a piece of gossip that everyone in Hong Kong is talking about.

Makan's gambling empire is world-renowned, but it is actually owned by two bigwigs: the gambling king and the guy who owns the hotel in Guangzhou.

Back then, the two of them started from scratch in Hong Kong and built their gambling empire in Makan. After that, they kicked out the gambling king who had martial arts skills, leaving only these two big shots.

Having opened a hotel in Guangzhou, it's clear that he has completely washed his hands of this kind of underworld business and is no longer involved in such activities. The gambling king wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to monopolize the business.

So last year, the two founders who fought side by side in their youth negotiated. The details are unknown, but it is said that they drank tea all morning without reaching a conclusion. The only person sitting next to the two was this gang leader who smashed a cup and made a threat.

At what level are they still using these kinds of tactics to negotiate?

He later withdrew from the transfer of ownership on this side, and on the other side, he truly held absolute power, making this powerful figure in the underworld incredibly famous.

Having decided to come to Hong Kong, Wei Dong handed over two pistols to the commander of the Jiangxi West Infrastructure Regiment for safekeeping. There was also a guard company with firepower at the construction site in the West District Industrial Park.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He knew the status of the person who owned the hotel in Yuezhou, and this was something the other party had done very unfairly.

This is like him and Lao Fang discussing business, and you're just placing a gun next to them—what does that mean?

Business is business. If you insist on using other means, then don't blame everyone for breaking the rules.

It just so happens that in recent years, the mainland has been unable to publicly support him.

Therefore, this arrogant triad boss openly demanded that Qin Zhiming become his adopted son to ensure his safety.

In other words, he's the one collecting the protection money.

I'll fucking kill you...

Armed with a sharp weapon, a murderous intent arose within him.

Rang Weidong had just killed someone, and his hormones probably hadn't calmed down yet.

It's more likely that he had already made a huge impact on the mainland, but was suppressed at this critical juncture, and was still irritable inside.

If it weren't for his actual mental age of over sixty.

They've long been arrogant and conceited.

Now I find myself chuckling unconsciously.

Let's see who calls me "Dad" in the end.
