Hong Kong variety show: The tycoon who emerged from Portland Street

Chen Yao's words caused many people to start whispering among themselves.

Although the gang's bars, casinos, and nightclubs are managed by some big shots and leaders, the gang audits the accounts every month, so it's not so easy to embezzle the gang's money.

Jiang Tiansheng asked, "Ah Yao, we're all brothers in the gang. Don't make things up without evidence, or it will ruin our friendship."

Are you sure someone embezzled the organization's money?

"That's right," Chen Yao affirmed.

"Who is it?"

"Chen Mo, the kingpin of Mong Kok".

Chen Yao glanced at Chen Mo, then quickly looked away.

Faced with Chen Yao's accusations, Chen Mo merely frowned slightly, without much reaction.

The others, however, began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"No way, he'd embezzle gang money?"

"Isn't his business quite large?"

Everyone in Hung Hing knows that Chen Mo made a fortune through counterfeit goods and karaoke. How could he possibly embezzle the triad's money?

Chen Yao continued, "I checked the accounts for the past few months and found that the karaoke equipment Chen Mo sold to the gang was overpriced. It was one or two thousand yuan more expensive than the price he sold it to others. For just three hundred karaoke machines, there was a difference of hundreds of thousands of yuan."

And those laser discs, the prices also vary quite a bit.

In total, Chen Mo embezzled at least a million dollars from the triad.

After Chen Yao finished speaking, many people looked at Chen Mo with surprise and doubt.

For Chen Mo, whose net worth is hundreds of millions, millions is just a drop in the ocean.

But for these gang leaders and bigwigs who were rich at the crack of dawn and poor at dusk, this was no small sum.

Moreover, they were unaware of Chen Mo's net worth.

Chen Mo gently tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention, and slowly said, "Chen Yao, you need to provide evidence when you speak."

"I announced the price publicly in my karaoke bar back then. Was the price I charged the gang incorrect?"

"Yes, but you sold it to the club for this price, and to other people for a lower price. Am I wrong?"

"Of course you're wrong," Chen Mo immediately retorted.

"We're all brothers in Hung Hing, so of course I treat everyone the same. Whether it's a triad or someone else, the price they get from me is the same."

"That's not right, is it?" Ma Wangjian glanced at Chen Mo sideways and said, "The price I get from you is cheaper than from the gang. Small machines are five thousand, and large machines are only eight thousand, which is quite a bit cheaper, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Ma Wangjian reveal the price, Chen Mo remained completely unfazed.

"Ma Wangjian, you say the machine I sold to you was cheap, do you have any proof?"

When I sold you the machine, I wrote a receipt and issued an invoice on the spot.

Show everyone the invoice and receipt I gave you, and see exactly what the price is!

Ma Wangjian was taken aback and hurriedly said, "You deliberately gave us extra invoices; I didn't actually spend that much money!"

Although Chen Mo sold the machines to the gang leaders for a discount of one or two thousand yuan, the invoices and receipts were issued at the normal price.

The amount Chen Mo wrote down was covered by his own ill-gotten gains.

It's simply a matter of paying more taxes to the Hong Kong Island government.

By being able to launder some of his illicit funds and also gain the gratitude of some powerful figures, Chen Mo was not at a loss at all.

However, Chen Mo did not expect that Chen Yao would use this matter to attack him today.

The extra invoices issued initially turned out to be a stroke of luck and served their purpose.

"Ma Wangjian, do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm deliberately issuing you more invoices and paying more taxes to the Hong Kong Island government? Do you think I have too much money to burn?"

Ask the other bosses here, have I given them any discounts? Are you the only one getting special treatment?

"No, I just bought the goods at the price Ah Mo gave me at the KTV, there was no discount." Thirteen Sister spoke up first, to testify for Chen Mo.

Han Bin chimed in, "That's right, I don't have any special offers either. Even with my usual relationship with Thirteen Sister and Ah Mo, we couldn't get a better price, so what makes you think you can, Ma Wangjian?"

"Yes, yes, we all have the same price, there are no special offers."

Chui Shui Ji and Fat Lao Li also chimed in.

Even if Chen Mo earns a little more money from the gang, so what? Even if it's over a million, each person will only get a few thousand dollars.

If they offend Chen Mo, the consequences will be severe.

They also need Chen Mo to provide them with counterfeit and laser discs.

"You...you guys..." Ma Wangjian was furious at the blatant lies told by the group.

"Alright," Jiang Tiansheng interrupted their argument, "Stop arguing, it's just a misunderstanding."

"Amo sold the karaoke machines to the gang, which made the gang's business much better than before. He has done a great service to our gang."

Ah Yao, don't make things up without evidence in the future. I'll let it go this time because you were thinking of the club.

Knowing he couldn't do anything to Chen Mo, Jiang Tiansheng directly declared the matter a misunderstanding.

A word of praise or a reprimand, and the matter was over just like that.

However, Chen Mo was not so easily fooled.

"Mr. Jiang, is it that Brother Yao is confused, or is someone deliberately framing me? This can't be dismissed as a misunderstanding."

Jiang Tiansheng frowned slightly and asked, "So, how do you plan to handle this?"

"Since Ma Wangjian says he gets his goods from me for less than I sell them to others, then he should make up the difference and apologize to me. Is that too much to ask?"

Chen Mo knew that with Jiang Tiansheng protecting him, he couldn't do anything to Ma Wangjian.

However, it's still possible to make him bleed a little and save face.

Ma Wangjian also got dozens of machines from Chen Mo, and even including DVDs, the price difference was only 100,000 yuan.

Ma Wangjian didn't care about the small amount of money, but he felt very uncomfortable having to bow his head and apologize to Chen Mo.

However, no matter how unwilling Ma Wangjian was, he had no choice but to bow his head at this moment.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! I'll have someone send you the money after the meeting."

Seeing Ma Wangjian bow his head and apologize, Chen Mo immediately showed magnanimity.

"It's okay, I'm not one to hold grudges."

Jiang Tiansheng also stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up, let's leave it at that. If there's nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting."

"Wait a minute!" Chen Mo said, stopping the people who were about to get up.

Jiang Tiansheng sat back down, frowning as he asked, "Amo, is there anything else you want to say?"

Chen Mo's expression was serious as he solemnly said, "Of course there is, and it's a very important matter."

Now, it's my turn to make a move!

"Although Mr. Chiang is willing to negotiate with the Triads, Liang Kun is also the leader of our Hung Hing. His death cannot be left like this."

As he spoke, Chen Mo took out the stack of photos from his pocket and threw them on the table.

"I've been tracking down the killer who murdered Leung Kwan's entire family for the past few days. Coincidentally, on the day Leung Kwan was killed, a paparazzi was nearby and took a picture of the killer. Take a look."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Jiang Tiansheng's pupils contracted, and he was greatly alarmed.

The other leaders also quickly picked up the photos and started looking at them.
