In an office on the third floor of the Star Nightclub, Zhou Wenjun was talking with his lawyer Lu Qinquan and Jimmy.
"Brother Jun, the auction of the Huo Bank headquarters building will be held the day after tomorrow afternoon."
Jimmy reported to Zhou Wenjun.
"Okay, I understand."
Zhou Wenjun nodded slightly and said lightly.
Thanks to Zhou Wenjun, the two floors of the Huo's Bank headquarters building where the vault was located were blown to pieces. Following Huo Zhaotang's failure, the Huo's Bank declared bankruptcy after struggling for more than ten days.
As the biggest "legacy" of Huo's Bank 13, the headquarters building of Huo's Bank will be publicly auctioned by the Hong Kong Island's Industrial and Commercial Department. This building is Zhou Wenjun's new goal and will also be Zhou Wenjun's first step into the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island.
The headquarters building of the Ho Bank on Nathan Road only needs a little renovation to be transformed into a commercial complex. It can not only be used as a writing building, but also as a cinema, becoming the first cinema opened by Zhou Wenjun in Hong Kong Island.
In addition to making movies, Zhou Wenjun also wants to establish cinema chains. He wants to establish cinema chains not only in Hong Kong Island, but also in Southeast Asia, Formosa Boulevard, and in the future, the mainland.
If making movies in Hong Kong Island is extremely profitable nowadays, then building cinema chains is extremely profitable. Although Shaw Brothers does not make movies, it still makes a lot of money with the cinema chains it has.
Of course, Zhou Wenjun wants to build a cinema chain not just to make money. Only by owning a cinema chain can he have a greater say.
Zhou Wenjun's ultimate goal is to establish a film and television empire of his own in Hong Kong Island, an empire that can compete with Hollywood in the United States.
"Mr. Zhou, the matter you asked me to investigate has come to fruition. The starting price for the Huo's Bank headquarters building is 330 million Hong Kong dollars. Shimao, Changjiang, Zhaoji and Xinli are all interested in the Huo's Bank headquarters building."
After Jimmy and Zhou Wenjun finished their reports, Lu Qinquan, who was sitting next to Jimmy, immediately spoke.
Among the eight major real estate companies in Hong Kong Island, four of them, including Swire Properties and Jardine Matheson, are foreign companies. They hold large tracts of idle land, and it is basically difficult for them to arouse interest in properties like the headquarters building of the Fok Bank.
As for the other four real estate companies, Cheung Kong, Mega Group, Shimao and Universal, Universal is currently mainly developing places like Harbour City and is not very clear about new real estate properties.
Li Bancheng, the boss of Cheung Kong Holdings, is a reincarnated glutton. No matter where, what kind of property or land, as long as the price-performance ratio is high, he will buy it and he is never satisfied.
Both Zhaoji and Shimao are real estate companies that started out by developing the New Territories. It was within Zhou Wenjun's expectations that they had ambitions for the headquarters building of the Fok Bank in Tsim Sha Tsui.
As for New Life Real Estate, Zhou Wenjun was originally unfamiliar with this real estate company, but after meeting Judy Tang, Zhou Wenjun learned that the boss of New Life Real Estate was Lin Dayue, who had coerced Judy Tang to give him 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.
"Lawyer Lu, how much do you think it would cost to buy the Huo's Bank headquarters building?"
After listening to Lu Qinquan's words, Zhou Wenjun asked calmly.
"Mr. Zhou, based on past experience, the final transaction price should be around 6 million Hong Kong dollars."
Lu Qinquan replied immediately.
6 million Hong Kong dollars is the current price in 1984. Like the island country and Treasure Island, Hong Kong’s stock market has skyrocketed since 1985, and housing prices have also skyrocketed.
Real estate properties like the headquarters building of the Huo Bank will at least double in price in the next five or six years. In addition, due to the bursting of the bubbles in the island country and Formosa Boulevard, a large amount of hot money was invested in Hong Kong Island. It was not until the financial crisis in 1998 that the bull market in Hong Kong Island was burst.
"Well, Lawyer Lu, thank you for your hard work these past few days."
After listening to Lu Qinquan's answer, Zhou Wenjun spoke slowly.
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Wenjun is now Lu Qinquan's biggest client. He even plans to go it alone and set up a law firm to serve Zhou Wenjun alone.
‘Ring ring ring~’
Just as Zhou Wenjun was about to continue speaking, the phone rang.
"Which one?"
Zhou Wenjun picked up the phone and asked.
"Brother Jun, there is a man named He Qianglong who wants to see you. He says he is the leader of the water room."
Gao Jin's voice came from the receiver.
"He Qianglong? Four-eyed dragon?"
Because he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, He Qianglong's nickname in the underworld was Four-Eyed Dragon.
After hearing Gao Jin's words, Zhou Wenjun pondered for a moment, then said, "Bring him to my office."
Zhou Wenjun probably knew why He Qianglong came to see him, but he also wanted to talk to the head of the bathroom in person. After all, harmony brings wealth!
"Okay, Jun."
Gao Jin's voice was heard from the receiver, followed by a busy tone.
‘Pa~’
Zhou Wenjun put the receiver back on the phone and said to Lu Qinquan with a smile, "Lawyer Lu, you have to work hard these two days."
"Mr. Zhou, 380 this is my job."
Lu Qinquan first said something polite, then continued: "Mr. Zhou, you have a guest, so I will take my leave first."
After saying this, Lu Qinquan stood up and left Zhou Wenjun's office.
Jimmy, who was standing by, said goodbye to Zhou Wenjun and left with Lu Qinquan.
‘Dong dong dong~’
Less than half a minute after Jimmy and Lu Qinquan left, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Zhou Wenjun said lightly.
As Zhou Wenjun finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open, and Gao Jin and He Qianglong standing behind him appeared in Zhou Wenjun's sight.
"Mr. Zhou, long time no see."
He Qianglong walked into the office first and said to Zhou Wenjun with a smile.
The two had met three times, at the celebration banquet for Zhou Wenjun becoming the boss of District 9, and at the peace talks between Dongxing and Xinji to apologize to Zhou Wenjun, so they were considered "acquaintances".
"Brother Long, if you have something to ask, why don't you just give me a call and tell me? Why bother to come here in person and make me feel so embarrassed?"
Zhou Wenjun also said with a smile on his face.
"Ah Jun, if you call me Brother Long, I won't be polite to you. Actually, I came to you this time because I want you to help me, and I also want to help you."
When He Qianglong heard Zhou Wenjun's polite words, his face straightened slightly, and he spoke slowly, word by word.
[183] It’s just a saying that harmony brings wealth. You are not so naive as to take it seriously, are you?
"Brother Long, just say whatever you want to say."
Obviously, Zhou Wenjun was not in the mood to chat nonsense with He Qianglong, so he spoke directly.
"Ajun, you should know who is the boss behind our Anle Beverage Company. I'll tell you the truth. Anle Beverage Company is preparing to go public, and that gentleman doesn't want any accidents to happen."
When He Qianglong heard Zhou Wenjun's words, he knew that this young man had no intention of giving him face, so he did not hesitate to use his backers and wanted to use the Li family to suppress Zhou Wenjun.
Although He Anle has an old name and a high seniority, it is after all a second-tier society in Hong Kong Island. In He Qianglong's view, it is normal for Zhou Wenjun, a young man who has become the boss of He Liansheng District 9 at a young age, not to give him face.
Moreover, this matter was originally instructed by the Li family, so it was only natural for him to use the Li family's name.
"Brother Long, let's talk business. If Huihuang Herbal Tea doesn't sell well, I won't come to you."
After hearing He Qianglong's threatening words, Zhou Wenjun smiled slightly, looked at He Qianglong, and said slowly.
086$0738〇-4]5 The Lee family is a behemoth, but the Lee family is the Lee family and Anle Beverage Company is Anle Beverage Company. If he was asked to withdraw at the mere words of Lee Hin-man, then after Regent Television has developed, would Zhou Wenjun also have to withdraw at the mere words of Lee Ho-ho?
After the real estate company develops, Li Xiaoming says one word and Zhou Wenjun withdraws? .
Then Zhou Wenjun might as well stop doing business and just be a gangster and serve as a chamber pot for the rich.
From the moment Zhou Wenjun entered the beverage market, he was ready to fall out with Hong Kong's beverage king, Li Xianwen, otherwise he would not have sent people to promote the idea that Coke kills sperm.
"Ajun, Mr. Li is the chairman of the Hong Kong Island Beverage Association. It will not do you any good to have an unpleasant experience with him. As long as Anle Beverage Company is listed, Mr. Li will not care about what happens next."
He Qianglong knew very well what Zhou Wenjun meant, but he did not give up and continued to persuade him.
Although He Qianglong himself is not afraid of Zhou Wenjun, and He Anle is not afraid of Zhou Wenjun, who is the person in charge of the Heliansheng area, He Qianglong still does not want to turn against Zhou Wenjun directly.
He Qianglong didn't want to go to war unless it was absolutely necessary.
Hearing what He Qianglong said, Zhou Wenjun glanced at He Qianglong. He finally understood why He Anle's situation became worse day by day after He Qianglong took over.
If you want to make a living and always try to endure the humiliation, then what’s the point?
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the big guys in the society always say that harmony brings wealth. If their core interests are really affected, who the hell will say that harmony brings wealth? They will be beaten first.
However, although Zhou Wenjun was very disdainful of He Qianglong's words, his expression did not change at all, and he still wore a smile: "Brother Long, I still say the same thing, business is business, I welcome fair competition."
"Ajun, do you really want to make the situation ugly?"
After hearing what Zhou Wenjun said, He Qianglong finally couldn't help it. He stared at Zhou Wenjun, his smile faded, and he said coldly.
"Brother Long, I don't mean to make the situation look bad. You are just too naive. Harmony brings wealth, but don't take it seriously! The business world is like a battlefield, you can't retreat. I retreat today, but can I retreat tomorrow?"
"Human nature is greedy. If I take a step back, Mr. Li behind you will want me to take a second and third step back until I have nowhere to retreat."
Zhou Wenjun looked at He Qianglong calmly and spoke slowly.
"..."
After hearing what Zhou Wenjun said, He Qianglong did not speak again. He just looked at Zhou Wenjun deeply, and then said lightly: "Mr. Zhou, I will pass this sentence to Mr. Li."
"Mr. He, please help me."
Zhou Wenjun also said it calmly.
"..."
He Qianglong looked at Zhou Wenjun deeply, then stood up without saying anything, turned around and left Zhou Wenjun's office.
Although He Qianglong did not say anything harsh to Zhou Wenjun, both Zhou Wenjun and He Qianglong knew that there would be a fight between them.
He Anle is a society that depends on the Anle Beverage Factory. Nearly half of its members are employees or family members of this beverage factory. Therefore, for He Anle, there must be no problems with the Anle Beverage Factory. This is the bottom line of the He Anle society.
Now, Zhou Wenjun is going to touch this bottom line. Then for He Anle, there is only one way to go. On this road, either Zhou Wenjun dies or He Anle dies.
After He Qianglong left, Zhou Wenjun picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Jimmy, tell A-Jin, Feiji and the others to come to my office and bring along the information I asked you to investigate about He Anle."
After the call was connected, Zhou Wenjun spoke lightly.
".々Okay, Jun-ge!"
Jimmy's voice came from the receiver.
After Huihuang Herbal Tea became popular, Zhou Wenjun had already anticipated that there would be a conflict between himself and He Anle, so he asked Jimmy to collect information about He Anle early on.
But Zhou Wenjun himself did not expect that Huihuang Herbal Tea would become popular so quickly.
On the other side, after leaving the Tianxing Nightclub, He Qianglong got into a black Mercedes-Benz sedan.
"Ah He, go inform Ah Zha, Tony (from the movie Flash Point) and the others that are waiting for me at the company."
After getting in the car, He Qianglong first spoke instructions to the bodyguard Ah He who was sitting in the passenger seat.
The three brothers, A Zha, Tony and A Hu, were refugees who came to Hong Kong Island from South Vietnam for refuge. Their "potential" was discovered by Ho Keung Lung, who recruited them under his command.
In the past few years, the three Tony brothers have done a lot of shady things for He Qianglong (for the sake of money). Obviously, He Qianglong is preparing to use these three knives again.
However, he has to wait until he meets Li Xianwen.
After all, He Anle is working for Li Xianwen this time, so he can't work in vain, and he must negotiate the terms first.
It is true that Li Xianwen is the financial backer of He Anle, but he is only the financial backer, not the "emperor" of He Anle.
"Okay, old man."
Ah He responded immediately, then got out of the car and left.
"To the Anle Beverage Company."
After Ah He left, He Qianglong began to give instructions to the driver.
"Okay, old top!"
After hearing what He Qianglong said, the car driver immediately started the car and drove towards Central.
"Zhou Wenjun, since you don't want to drink the toast, you can only drink the penalty drink."
Looking through the car window at the Star Nightclub nearby, He Qianglong said quietly.
[184] The disobedient South Vietnamese, the three Tony brothers!
President's Office, Anle Beverage Company, Central, Hong Kong Island.
"Zhou Wenjun doesn't even give face to our Li family?"
