Chapter 357 Nobody's a Fool (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Tiansheng is doing better and better lately!

Since stepping down as the leader of Hung Hing, he has not focused his main energy on Hong Kong Island.

It's easy to understand. Hong Kong Island can no longer offer him any more benefits; at most, he'll treat it as a place for leisure and relaxation.

As long as you maintain a good relationship with Fok Tai-heng, manage your Hong Kong Island Football Club and the football club in the Netherlands well, and maintain your image as a football tycoon, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After he laundered his money and went ashore, the restrictions imposed on him by the Hong Kong British government, while not completely eliminated, at least meant he no longer had to worry about being suddenly blocked when traveling abroad.

With the vast amount of funds he currently possesses, purchasing properties in Hong Kong Island would be quite easy for him.

The problem is that in Hong Kong Island, most of the traditional profitable businesses have already been snapped up by established tycoons, making it very difficult to get involved.

Jiang Tiansheng couldn't get involved in industries like real estate, hotels, or port operations, no matter how much money he had.

It's impossible to buy office buildings and fully furnished apartments in a bustling area one by one at normal prices, right?

If he were truly that generous, those established tycoons would probably jump for joy and treat Jiang Tiansheng like a god of wealth.

Incidentally, let the prices of the properties and assets you own skyrocket.

As for the financial securities industry, he is unfamiliar with it and dares not get involved.

For no other reason than that Jiang Tiansheng was not a member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club at this time.

If he dares to rashly enter the financial securities industry, he should be prepared to be taught a lesson. Does he really think that just anyone can get involved in this game of musical chairs?

Well, Hong Kong Island really isn't a good place to buy property!

Then let's just shift our focus to Siam.

By properly managing the port and the boats, we can expand our maritime cargo business into inland areas through our connections in Siam.

He even remotely directed Hung Hing gang members to seize territory in Siam!

Jiang Tiansheng is doing very well in Siam, seemingly experiencing a second spring in his career.

Putting aside everything else, he was a guest of honor at the residences of Siamese nobles, and the resources he could access easily surpassed those of his younger brother, Jiang Tianyang.

If he wanted to, he could become one of the top tycoons in Bangkok, Siam, since he controls a vast amount of resources.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the goods he transports from the mainland to Siam are just ordinary daily necessities; the market is vast.

Although Siam is one of the so-called Asian Tigers, most of its data is driven by real estate in its capital Bangkok and other major cities.

Who would have imagined that in the early 1990s, Bangkok had gradually developed a nationwide craze for stock trading?

The pace of development in industry and manufacturing is less than satisfactory.

Despite its simple items like old-fashioned bicycles, sheet metal and plastic electric fans, and watches and radios modeled after those from mainland China, Siam was incapable of large-scale industrial production.

These seemingly insignificant products are actually items in high demand in daily household life, so there is no need to worry about sales.

As for why the Siamese government doesn't proactively purchase large quantities from the mainland, that's their own reason.

In fact, there is still much more that Jiang Tiansheng can do!
As long as there are still benefits to be gained and he doesn't actively get involved in certain internal affairs of Siam, his position in Siam can be said to be quite stable.

Hong Kong Island is indeed more bustling than Siam, and the living experience and other aspects are definitely better than in Bangkok.

However, his status on Hong Kong Island will never reach the level he had in Siam.

Let alone Chiang Tin-sang, how many of the so-called top Chinese tycoons were truly respected by the British high-ranking officials of the Hong Kong British government?

Additionally, if you have free time, you can also go to the Netherlands to watch your professional football team's matches and make connections with influential people there.

Through his professional football club, Jiang Tiansheng developed a very good relationship with influential figures in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

In Western Europe, the influence of a strong professional football club is enormous, enabling Jiang Tiansheng to easily integrate into the local high society.

Compared to the older folks in the Netherlands who are retiring there, Jiang Tiansheng is undoubtedly more stable and has more prestige in the Netherlands.

He is especially popular when his teams demonstrate considerable strength.

The promising stars and head coach that Wu Feng deliberately helped select have completely exploded in the new year's Eredivisie.

It's worth noting that they have Batistuta as a striker and Rivaldo, a future world superstar, in midfield.

With the addition of Swedish striker Laursen, Danish striker Sand, and midfielder Laudrup, all renowned European-level stars, the combined strength of the team is unimaginable.

Head coach Bielsa is a ruthless and decisive person who gives young, promising stars enough trust and room to perform.

Under these circumstances, the team didn't win in the first few games due to poor teamwork, but once their teamwork reached a certain level, they easily created a youth storm in the Eredivisie.

With their impressive performance and excellent results, even vying for the top spot in the league, the team received unprecedented attention, and Jiang Tiansheng, the team owner, became a well-known football tycoon in Rotterdam and even the whole of the Netherlands.

Having made a name for himself outside Hong Kong, Chiang Tin-sang didn't care much about Hong Kong Island; anyone in his shoes would have made the same choice.

Of course, Chiang Tin-sang never neglected cultivating his connections in Hong Kong; it was the foundation of his success. Thus, when Wu Feng promoted the investment of Hong Kong people in the Little Life stock market, Chiang was responsible for coordinating the triad's funds.

The clean funds raised by groups like Dongxing Camel and his gang leaders, Liansheng Dengbo and his uncles and gang leaders, and Lanjing and his gang leaders were all handed over to the accounts of several financial companies established by Jiang Tiansheng.

Then, Jiang Tiansheng took over the management of these gang funds and invested them in the Xiao Ri Sheng stock market, which can be said to be of great importance.

To avoid trouble, Jiang Tiansheng took the initiative to contact the leaders who invested money and asked them to send their trusted financial personnel to Xiao Rizi's local area to monitor the flow of funds.

Wu Zhixiong, one of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing, went to Xiao Rizi (Little Life) to take charge of the local area a long time ago and has been there for more than half a year now.

The core financial personnel of other triads have also moved to the local area to take charge, resulting in a certain contraction in the loan shark business of triads in Hong Kong Island this year.

Needless to say, the triad funds held by Chiang Tin-sang on behalf of others have made a considerable profit in the Little Life Stock Market, which will definitely satisfy the triad bosses who invested the money.

However, as November approached, Jiang Tiansheng received a notice from Wu Feng that he was preparing to withdraw the funds of the community that had been invested in Xiao Rizi stock market.

This displeased the gang leaders.

Of course, Jiang Tiansheng, as the nominee shareholder, still wields considerable power. If he were to forcibly withdraw, the numerous triad bosses who had invested money would be powerless to stop him.

But this would ruin the original intention of building good relations, and might even create resentment.

Jiang Tiansheng naturally trusted Wu Feng's abilities!

Since Wu Feng said that the upward trend of the stock market is nearing its peak, the situation is probably pretty much true.

The bigwigs in the community who have the money to invest, however, don't think that way.

As long as there is still some room for profit in the stock market, Jiang Tiansheng's early departure means that they have lost a lot of money. How could they not be resentful?

Don't overestimate the character of these gang leaders. Chiang Tin-sang knows them all very well; they're all greedy for money.

Even if Wu Feng's guess turns out to be correct in the end, don't expect the gang leaders who invested money to be grateful.

They simply believe that they could have made a considerable amount of money with their investment during the period before the stock market crash.

The bigwigs of the gangs only care about things that benefit them.

Since Jiang Tiansheng didn't want to get involved, Wu Feng, the instigator, naturally had to step forward and have a proper discussion with the gang leaders who had invested money.

The leaders of the community shared the same idea, which coincided perfectly with their own thoughts.

In fact, they would never cause trouble for Wu Feng; that would be truly foolish, something only a idiot would do.

Their goal was simple: to cling to Wu Feng, this powerful figure.

This investment in Xiao Rizi stock market would not have gone so smoothly without Wu Feng's introduction and Jiang Tiansheng's personal involvement in holding the shares on his behalf.

The potential for profit nearly shocked all the bigwigs in the community who had invested money.

Anyone who invests more than ten million Hong Kong dollars will now have a return of hundreds of millions; the more you invest, the more you earn.

The largest investor, Dongxing Dragon Camel, has already earned an astonishing 500 million, which is quite outrageous.

At least, when the camel heard the news, he was completely stunned.

He's seen plenty of money before; he's sold pills, and their annual turnover is in the billions of Hong Kong dollars.

The problem is, in the end, the camels that actually get their hands on are only worth about 100 million a year, which is considered quite good.

Moreover, this is money that can't be made in the open. If you wash the rice, you have to pay three or four layers of fees, and you can't spend it lavishly.

But the money earned from the stock market in my daily life is naturally clean money.

The joy and shock of earning so much in such a short time is unimaginable.

Most importantly, this incident made them realize that Wu Feng was a real money-maker, and they had to try and get close to him.

The reason for this joint effort was to invite Wu Feng to have a chat through Jiang Tiansheng.

There was no dissatisfaction or resistance whatsoever; instead, they wanted to learn from Wu Feng and continue to make clean money under his guidance.

They believed that Wu Feng had such ability.

Hong Kong Island triads have only so many ways to make money, and they are also subject to strong constraints from their financial backers. Being used as a bedpan is not a pleasant experience.

If there were other sources of income, regardless of the overall state of the organization, at least the leaders would be less constrained and less irritated.

Clearly, following Wu Feng would allow them to make big money outside, while also getting rid of the gang's behind-the-scenes financiers and the restrictions imposed by those high-ranking foreigners.

Although he didn't express it too clearly, Jiang Tiansheng had already grasped the meaning, and naturally wouldn't hide anything when communicating with Wu Feng.

Since the gang leaders were so enthusiastic, Wu Feng naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.
