Chapter 260 Preparing to Enter the Real Estate Market

After more than twenty hours of flight, the plane finally arrived at Hong Kong Island.

It's already noon on Monday in Hong Kong, and the stock market crash has already begun.

Chen Mo and his group walked out of the airport and met up with the convoy brought by Shen Guodong, who was waiting outside the airport.

"Jimmy, take some men and send your sister-in-law home first, then go find Robinson and tell him I'll be looking for him later."

"Okay," Jimmy nodded in response.

"Ahua, go back and rest. Guodong, let's go back to the bar."

For Chen Mo, the twenty-plus-hour flight was just a break; he wasn't tired at all. Having been away from Hong Kong Island for half a month, Chen Mo needed to familiarize himself with the situation on his new territory.

When Chen Mo arrived at the bar, most of his subordinates were already waiting at the entrance.

"Hello, Brother Mo!"

At the bar entrance, everyone bowed to Chen Mo, welcoming their boss back.

"Alright, we're all brothers, no need for all this fancy stuff. Let's get on with our business!"

Chen Mo felt rather awkward watching his men pull this stunt.

He was only gone for half a month, not half a year, why make such a big fuss!

After dispersing the crowd, Chen Mo led Shen Guodong back to his office.

"During my absence, did anything happen on the territory?"

"No, all the clubs have been quite well-behaved lately, even Wang Bao has been much more obedient recently."

"Really?" This surprised Chen Mo quite a bit. He had thought Wang Bao would take advantage of his absence from Hong Kong to cause trouble!

"A while ago, Ah Hu was constantly leading people to fight with Wang Bao's men, and he had been paying close attention to what was going on with Wang Bao."

I heard from Ah Hu that Wang Bao's wife seems to be about to give birth.

During this time, Wang Bao has been busy taking care of his wife, leaving the affairs of his territory to his subordinate, Huang Mao.

Also, I heard that a few days ago, Wang Bao's people were caught by the police during a transaction, and their money and goods were confiscated.

After hearing what Shen Guodong said, Chen Mo's heart stirred.

Wang Bao's wife is about to give birth, does that mean Wang Bao is about to be finished?

This is a good opportunity to seize territory.

However, Yau Ma Tei is mostly populated by gangs that sell drugs, and not many of the venues there are clean. For Chen Mo, there aren't many territories that are valuable.

Whether it's worth seizing that territory is another matter.

Chen Mo stopped paying attention to that and asked about something else.

"How's the Piaopiao thing going? Have they found out who's behind it?"

"This..." Shen Guodong hesitated for a moment.

Chen Mo frowned: "What's wrong? Didn't you find it?"

"No," Shen Guodong said hesitantly. "My subordinates have contacted the editors-in-chief of those magazines and forced them to issue a public apology. They've also interrogated them."

They said it was Aunt Six from TVB who called them and told them to do it.

"Sixth Aunt? Sir Shaw's wife?"

"Yes, it's her."

Now Chen Mo understood why Shen Guodong had hesitated when he spoke.

Those of them who were involved in gangs really couldn't afford to offend this Sixth Aunt, since she was Sir Shaw's wife!

Although the market value of Hong Kong Island Television Group, which owns TVB, was only HK$5 billion before, it is estimated that in a few days, the market value will be less than HK$3 billion.

With Chen Mo's current financial resources, buying three or four wouldn't be a problem.

But they have powerful connections!

Sir Shaw was wealthy, held a noble title, and controlled the media. Everyone in Hong Kong gave him face.

Chen Mo really shouldn't offend him too much.

"Do you know where Piao Piao offended that woman?" Chen Mo continued to ask.

Liu Piaopiao and Fang Yihua have absolutely no connection whatsoever. Why would she bother to expose Liu Piaopiao's dark history?

Shen Guodong shook his head: "I don't know. The people at the magazine don't know the inside story either; they're just following orders. I haven't asked Miss Liu yet."

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about this for now. I'll ask about it myself tonight."

Chen Mo estimated that there wouldn't be any major conflict between the two sides.

Given Liu Piaopiao's abilities, she wouldn't cause any major trouble.

After talking with Shen Guodong, Chen Mo was about to catch up with Liu Lili, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, when the phone rang.

The call was from Jimmy.

"Brother Mo, Mr. Sun went to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange; he's not in Tsim Sha Tsui. Should I call him back?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo thought, "Hey, this stubborn old man definitely didn't sell his stocks beforehand."

"No need to call him, let's go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to find him together."

Chen Mo just wanted to see what the current situation was like at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Hearing that Chen Mo was about to leave, Liu Lili looked at him with a resentful expression.

Chen Mo pinched her cheek and asked, "I do have something to do right now. Why don't you come with me now, and we can go to Piao Piao's place together tonight?"

Chen Mo has been gone for half a month; I bet several of his women are already waiting in line!

I can only try to queue up a few more times each night!

I met up with Jimmy halfway there, and then the group went to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange together.

At that moment, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was filled with wailing and lamentation.

Last Monday, the stock market crash broke out suddenly, and many people panicked.

Faced with the sudden stock market crash, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange not only failed to take measures to rescue the market, but instead suspended trading for four days.

This practice caused panic among Hong Kong stock market investors to accumulate, ultimately leading to a complete loss of confidence in Hong Kong stocks.

Even though the US stock market has now returned to basic order, Hong Kong stocks have fallen even more sharply than last Monday.

The group found Robinson Crusoe in the VIP trading room on the second floor of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

As a major investor managing tens of millions of dollars, he was also able to temporarily use the trading floor of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Robinson Crusoe seemed to be in relatively good condition at this moment. Although he also had a worried look on his face, he was not as excited as the people in the hall.

Chen Mo couldn't help but tease, "Old Sun, you seem to be in good spirits! How's it going, how much have you lost?"

Robinson rolled his eyes at Chen Mo when he heard his gloating tone.

"Sigh! All these past few months have been for nothing. Today, including last trading day, I've lost over 20 million."

Chen Mo walked over to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "It's okay, it will keep falling! You have to hang in there!"

Robinson shrugged, shaking off Chen Mo's arm: "I know it myself, you don't need to tell me."

Robinson Crusoe felt that Chen Mo was just there to make a fool of himself.

The Hong Kong stock market has now collapsed.

It's not even closing time yet, and it's already down more than 20 points. By the time it closes, it might have fallen even more!

If he asked Chen Mo, Chen Mo would tell him that the price would drop by 33.3% today.

Seeing that Robinson Crusoe was a little angry, Chen Mo quickly reassured him, "Alright, Lao Sun, this stock market crash won't last long. At most, it'll be halved. You can still keep your principal."

Seeing that Robinson Crusoe was still not very interested, Chen Mo continued, "I have some good news for you."

"What good news?"

"You know, I made a fortune in the US stock market this time. I'm preparing to enter the real estate market. Your time to shine has come! Aren't you excited? Aren't you surprised?"
