Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

On January 17, the basement of Li Huai-ren's villa was finally expanded and completed, with two floors, each floor being 1200 square meters, for a total of 2400 square meters.

The basement walls and the ground floor were reinforced with steel bars and poured with concrete, making them thick and sturdy.

The basement level houses a 600-square-meter wine cellar and several storage rooms, all equipped with temperature-controlled facilities. The second basement level is simple, with rows of wooden shelves for storing moisture-proof items.

On January 18th, Li Huai-ren had to take a morning off. This was the opening day of Lin Qingxia's private clinic.

Last October, Mr. and Mrs. Lin rented a two-story old building in Gehe Old Street. The building occupies more than 200 square meters, with a total area of ​​about 500 square meters.

Lin had just rented the place and was preparing to renovate when the landlord suddenly changed his mind, saying that his whole family was immigrating to the UK and demanding that Lin's father either buy the place or return the deposit. The landlord agreed to pay Lin's father a penalty for breach of contract.

After Li Huai-ren learned of this, how could he possibly let such a good opportunity pass by? In a few years, even if you pay several times more, you still won't be able to buy this kind of building.

He immediately spent money to buy the building and continued to rent it to Lin's father to run a private clinic.

Early in the morning, Li Huai-ren and Lin Qing-xia's family arrived at Lin's Clinic.

Soon after they arrived, people came one after another to deliver flower baskets. All the Hong Kong gangs, including 14K, Wo Shing Wo, and Yee On, sent flower baskets.

Mr. Lin and his family were taken aback. They had only recently settled in Hong Kong and had never dealt with any of the local thugs. What did these thugs mean by sending flower baskets? Did they demand protection money for each flower basket?

Li Huai-ren was also taken aback. He had only spoken to Zhu You-zai and asked him to tell the bad guys in Hong Kong not to cause trouble for the newly opened Lin's Clinic on Gehe Old Street. How did it turn into such a big commotion?

At 8:50, close to the auspicious time for the opening at 9:00, Piggy arrived in his newly purchased Mercedes, followed by three police cars, looking very flashy.

As soon as he got out of the car, he directed the uniformed officers from the three police cars to quickly set up the flower baskets they had brought.

There were twelve flower baskets in total, and apart from Lui Lok, the ribbons on the other baskets were all signed by British officers in the Hong Kong Police Force.

After arranging the twelve flower baskets, Piggy turned around and took a flower basket from his Mercedes-Benz, placing it between Lei Luo and Yi Zhong, the "boss" of the 14K triad.

Lin's father and the others were all dumbfounded, watching as Piggy walked towards them, completely at a loss.

Piggy sized up Lin's father and the others, then turned to look at Li Huai-ren and laughed heartily:

"Haha, Ah Ren, how is it? Are you satisfied?"

Leaders of all the major and minor gangs in Hong Kong, including 14K and Wo Shing Wo, sent flower baskets. Lok Gor and high-ranking British officers in the police force also sent flower baskets.

"Let me tell you, keep these flower baskets up for a few more days, so that everyone on this street and the surrounding streets can see them clearly. I guarantee no one will dare to cause trouble here!"

After saying that, he glanced back at Lin Qingxia standing next to Lin's father, put his left arm around Li Huai-ren's shoulder, grinned lewdly, gave a thumbs-up with his right hand, and said:

"Ah Ren, you're really something! You even managed to seduce Jia Baoyu?"

His expression immediately changed, and he said to Li Huai-ren in a serious tone:

"Ah Ren, is it true that you said you'd buy all the remaining land on that industrial site in Yuen Long after the New Year?"

This is no joke. All the remaining land is surrounded by the land you bought. If you don't buy it, it won't be of any use to someone else.

The British guys at the Lands Department are calling me every day asking when I'm going to buy the remaining land. They said they'd give me a discount if I bought all the remaining land at once.

Upon hearing this, Li Huai-ren immediately understood why Zhu You-zai was so concerned about the opening of the Lin family clinic. It turned out that the root of the problem lay in the remaining land on that industrial site!

Piggy was pushed to the limit by the British in the Lands Department, and he wanted to earn a "referral fee" for buying that industrial land, which is why he made such a big fuss.

Li Huai-ren smiled and said:

"Of course, Brother Zai, when did I ever lie to you? After the New Year, even if I have to borrow money from my fourth uncle and the bank, I will still buy all the remaining land on that industrial site."

After thinking for a moment, he pulled Piggy aside and whispered:

"Brother Zai, since no one else wants the remaining industrial land anyway, could you do me the trouble and talk to the British at the Lands Department to sell it to me at half the original price? How about that?"

He held up his right index finger in front of the little pig and said:

"Brother Zai, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll give you this amount after it's done, how about it?"

"One million?" Piggy's eyes immediately lit up.

"Of course, if it weren't for a million, how could I possibly offer that? How could I possibly say it?" Li Huai-ren glanced at him and said calmly.

By acting as a middleman and helping Li Huai-ren negotiate a lower price with the British at the Land Administration Department, he could earn an extra million. Besides, those British weren't without their own benefits; after all, the land wasn't theirs, so why would they disagree?

Piggy only considered it for less than three seconds, a flash of greed in his eyes, before he agreed:

"Damn it, Ah Ren, this is settled!"

I'll handle the communication with the British at the Lands Department for you. You raise the money, and as long as the British agree, the transaction will be completed immediately after the New Year!

The deal was settled, and the main purpose of coming here was achieved. Piggy immediately packed his bags and left.

Li Huai-ren stood at the clinic entrance, watching him and the others in military uniforms leave, a sense of satisfaction welling up inside him.

"Hehe, using the money Lei Luo and the others embezzled and took bribes to buy that piece of industrial land, isn't that awesome?"

Seeing him standing there grinning foolishly, Lin Qingxia poked his arm with her right index finger and said:

"Who is this person? They sent so many flower baskets, didn't even say goodbye, and just left like that?"

Li Huai-ren turned and glanced at her, then said:

"His name is Piggy, and he is Lei Luo's confidant and the person Lei Luo trusts the most. Both the underworld and the legitimate world in Hong Kong give him some face."

He made such a big fuss this time because he was after me; he has ulterior motives. But it's good that no thugs will dare to cause trouble at your family's clinic anymore.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin's father, who had somehow appeared behind the two of them, suddenly asked in surprise:

"Is he Lei Luo's confidant?"

Li Huai-ren glanced back at Lin Qingxia's father, who had been watching him and Lin Qingxia constantly. He felt helpless but dared not show it. He nodded and said:

"Yes, he is Lei Luo's trusted confidant, Piggy."

Uncle, don't rush to throw away those flower baskets. Just leave them there for a few more days as Piggy suggested, so that the bad guys in this area can see them.

These scoundrels are the type to bully the weak and fear the strong, and they know exactly who they can and cannot bully. No one should dare cause trouble at the clinic anymore.

By the way, if anyone comes to ask you for protection money or anything like that, don't pay them. Don't indulge them. Just tell them to go ask Pig Oil Boy and their leader for it.

The less you pay protection money, the more these thugs will believe you have powerful backers, and the less they will dare to cause trouble.
