Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 332 Planning and Joining Forces, Returning to the Mainland
Actually, there's still a long time before the celebration banquet begins.

There's no need for Big D to go so early, but for Big D, how many times in his life can he attend a banquet of this caliber? He should go and broaden his wife and kids' horizons.

And there's work to report, isn't there?

The celebration banquet was held at the Peninsula Hotel. Everyone from the Jiayuan Group was present, including Chicken, who works in mainland China.

There are also some who are usually busy with work and are rarely seen.

Hua Di, Bao Wenlong, Long Wang, Lai Fu Zhang Bao, Fei Ji, Cheng Lang.
And so on, the rest are business partners.

"You said Ah Le and the others also want to do legitimate work!"

In a private room, Big D and Li Jiayuan were exchanging information.

To be honest, Li Jiayuan was surprised when he first heard this news.

Ah Le and his gang of thugs are actually thinking about making money through legitimate means instead of going out and causing trouble?

He quickly understood the deeper meaning behind it.

The reason they didn't do legitimate work before was simply because they had no other choice. If they could make money doing legitimate work, would they still need to be gangsters?

In order not to give up their comfortable lives, they had no choice but to continue being gangsters and making a living through illegal means.

Until Big D appeared, he proved with facts that as long as you follow the right big brother, you can succeed even if you are doing legitimate business.

One is a high-risk, shady business where you live in constant fear and may even get arrested by the police; the other is a legitimate business where you don't have to live in fear, can operate in the open, and can even greet the police on your own initiative.

They earn about the same amount of money, even a fool would know which to choose.

With the comparison, these people from Lian Sheng saw which was more in their best interest, and thus came up with new ideas.

However, this proved to be a real challenge for Li Jiayuan.

Big D is easy to deal with, and his subordinates are not many people. But if it's Wo Shing, with so many people, how can he help them all to do legitimate business?

Unless he's willing to spend a lot of money, but that's not in his best interest.

However, this matter is promising. After all, Wo Luen Shing is related to him, and it's never good to have a reputation as someone from a triad background.

But if he can get Wo Shing on the right track, then the meaning will be completely different.

In that case, Wo Luen Shing won't be a stain on his record, but rather an achievement.

When the time comes, when people mention Wo Luen Shing, they won't think that the Hong Kong tycoon Lee Ka-yuen came from this triad. Instead, they will think that it was Lee Ka-yuen who used his actions to bring a triad that should have been at the bottom of society onto the right track.

Isn't this a definite political achievement? So this matter is still worth pursuing.

But the key lies in the approach itself, how to do it. He certainly couldn't support so many people at the same time.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people in Wo Shing Wo. Even if you exclude the middle-level and older people, there are still more than 20,000 people in the upper echelons alone.

This includes various levels of leadership, from big shots to smaller ones, as well as regional leaders.

There are too many to manage, and it won't be easy to get all of them up, but we can find them something to do.

The definition of a "gangster" is actually quite broad, as long as they don't touch certain forbidden zones, such as contraband or firearms.
Apart from these, everything else can be overlooked.

Even if you try to lend money at exorbitant interest rates or open a financial institution, people will ignore you.

But most gangsters can't make money without these methods. If the people in the Wo Shing triad want to go back to normal life, not all of them can, otherwise who will do the dirty work?

We could create a sustainable industry for them, allowing only the top figures to participate, while the lower-level staff can simply continue with their regular jobs.

Those who are meant to be involved in the underworld should be involved in the underworld. Without the gangsters below, the higher-ups can't get anything done. The key is how to control those at the top.

After considering several strategies, Li Jiayuan decided to use a more reliable method, similar to what Da D did, to have them each find a legitimate job and assign each family to a different industry.

After that, they relied on the resources of the Jiayuan Group to find projects and build connections for them.

However, it's important to strike a balance in how much they give you and how much they do. Let Big D act as their mouthpiece, controlling these resources and manipulating them.

A year later, when these people have settled down and established themselves in the industry, if Big D raises his voice in the election, will those people dare to stand up and disagree?
Do you still want the resources? Or do you want to experience what it's like to be under pressure from a large corporation?

At that time, whether Big D is elected or wins again, his position will be as secure as a rock.

As for these people taking off once they've grown wings?

Fly! Let those who don't obey show them what real business competition is like. Those who still don't obey can go back to being gangsters.

There will inevitably be such people, and eventually we'll have to take action against one or two of them.

Li Jiayuan made a brief appearance at the dinner party and then left.

I accompanied my wife to her prenatal checkup.

With the company growing larger and larger, he feels somewhat idle every day, except for making some major decisions on his own.

He left everything else to Gao Jin.

Gao Jin has now begun to show his talent and is becoming increasingly experienced.

Speaking of Gao Jin, it seems that this guy has recently encountered some emotional crisis, but for Gao Jin, his own emotions are just a small matter.

He believes that his company and career represent his greater love, and he is determined to sacrifice his personal interests for the greater good.

To be honest, he had to admire that.

This guy is really ruthless, but Gao Jin's relationship with Qiu Rongrong may have come to an end here.

Of the couples he predicted before, it seems that only Feiji's relationship is relatively stable.

There's something really messed up about this airplane. It seems like Little Stutterer wants to go back to his family, or so the airplane says.

To be honest, Li Jiayuan really didn't expect this. He originally thought that Fei Ji was the couple most likely to break up, but now it seems that they have a good chance of getting together.

Now, Xiao Jieba only accepts scripts designated by Li Jiayuan and rarely appears in public anymore.

Jiayuan Media now has many pillars, such as Yin Tianchou, Cheng Lang, Liu Piaopiao, Uncle Ying and his wife, Ahua and his girlfriend A'e.
Jiayuan Media is now known in the industry as a "golden touch." What does that mean?
Anyone who gets promoted can become famous, and many people try to poach talent from Jiayuan Media, but unfortunately, they lack the ability to gain a foothold in Jiayuan Media.

After accompanying Huang Lei to the hospital for a check-up and returning home, he received another call from Shi Liang.

When asked to take some time to visit the mainland, he remained secretive and refused to say what he was doing.

He sounded quite anxious, and taking advantage of the time, he felt he should bring Huang Lei and Ruan Mei back with him.

Because Huang Lei is pregnant, she needs to be very careful when going out. She is accompanied by a large group of people, including a professional doctor, bodyguards, and a nanny.
From Victoria Harbour, take a ferry and then transfer to a car at the port.

We arrived at our destination in less than a day.

We were still in Guangzhou, but this time, because Huang Lei was unable to come, we mostly just walked around different parts of the city.

After playing for another three days, Li Jiayuan finally went to keep the appointment, but this time the meeting was more discreet, and the location was a cemetery.
