Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

When Li Huai-ren arrived at the private room on the second floor that Zhu You-zai had booked at Hong Fu Lou, Zhu You-zai and Lei Luo were already there, and the short, stout Zhu You-zai was brewing Kung Fu tea.

"Brother Luo! Brother Zai!"

"Ani!"

"Ani!"

Li Huai-ren greeted the two men, and Lei Luo invited him to sit next to him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and the waiter bringing out all the refreshments and leaving, Lei Luo didn't linger and went straight to the point with Li Huai Ren:

"Ah Ren, let me be frank, I asked Piggy to invite you to dim sum today."

My whole family's immigration paperwork to Canada has been completed. I'm not in a hurry, but my wife and children are eager to settle in Canada, and I can't stop them.

Ah Ren, as the old saying goes, you can't make money without putting in the effort. Since our whole family has immigrated to Canada, it's impossible for us to manage our Hong Kong properties ourselves. So we thought we might as well sell them all.

After thinking it over, I realized that among all the people I know, only you are capable of acquiring all the real estate properties I own in one go.

"How about this, I won't sell these properties to you at the current market price, but at the original purchase price, on the condition that you buy them all, cash only. How about that?"

After saying that, he handed Li Huai-ren a list of properties, which also noted the purchase price of each property.

When Li Huai-ren entered the private room and saw Lei Luo there, a sudden realization dawned on him. He finally understood why he had felt that Piggy's gaze was strange that day. It turned out that the short, stout Piggy was also the one who had designs on him!

No, Piggy and Lei Luo are in cahoots!

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing Lei Luo say that he would sell all the properties to him at the purchase price, Li Huai Ren took the list he was handed over, glanced at it, and immediately frowned, saying with great difficulty:

"Brother Luo, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm having cash flow problems and don't have that much cash."

How about this? We'll sign a formal contract, I'll pay you a 10% deposit, then you transfer all the properties to me, and I'll mortgage those properties to the bank to get a loan to pay you back the remaining balance.

Lei Luo was stunned, and a strong urge to strangle Li Huai Ren welled up inside him:

"Pay 10% and I'll transfer all the properties to you?"

You damn bastard, you're so damn heartless! You actually thought you could take over all my properties by paying only 10%?

He looked up at Li Huai-ren and saw that Li Huai-ren was calm and composed, looking completely confident. His heart immediately skipped a beat.

"Damn it! No, no, that bastard Li Huai-ren has a TV station and a newspaper, so he must know that The Sun published that damn Fang An-sheng's article."

He gave a helpless, bitter smile. Fang Ansheng was truly despicable, taking the matter all the way to the British mainland.

Not only that, but it also reached New York, the location of the United Nations headquarters, causing the British to be ridiculed by the Soviet Union and other countries, and lose face internationally.

These days, London has no choice but to give Hong Kong a good talking-to.

Lei Luo would never agree to someone trying to take over all his properties by paying only a 10% deposit.

He wanted to fly into a rage and storm off, but he managed to suppress the urge.

The reason is simple: among the people he knows and is familiar with, the only one who could acquire all his properties in one go is Li Huai Ren.

Of course, he can also mortgage it to banks and other financial institutions, but there is one step that these financial institutions cannot avoid: asset appraisal!

Only after completing a series of procedures, including asset appraisal, will the bank discuss loan issues with you.

He was in a hurry to leave Hong Kong, and most importantly, he wanted to keep his dealings with these properties a secret; the fewer people who knew, the better.

Therefore, he never considered mortgaging his property to a bank or a finance company that specializes in high-interest lending, obtaining the loan, and then running away.

Left with no other option, Lei Luo had to negotiate with Li Huai Ren, discussing the total price for the package sale of all his properties.

Li Huai Ren, oh no, I mean Li Huai Ren, he's a man of his word. He said he'd skin Lei Luo alive, and he definitely did!

Regardless of what Lei Luo said, he didn't say anything else, only that he didn't have that much cash and insisted that he could only sell at half the purchase price of all of Lei Luo's properties.

Lei Luo was so angry he almost vomited blood. Naturally, he was unwilling to sell at such a low price, and the two parted on bad terms.

After getting into his Rolls-Royce, Raylo remained silent. After a long silence, he sighed and said to Piggy:

"Qi Rong, I misjudged Li Huai Ren. He's not the spoiled brat we used to think he was. He's actually quite shrewd."

I think all his past misdeeds were just an act. He's playing dumb to fool others; he's very cunning.

After I leave Hong Kong, you should give up on the idea of ​​pursuing him. After you've dealt with things in Hong Kong, come to Taiwan as soon as possible!

That bastard, he fled from the mainland to Taiwan, and he's just as greedy as the British.

"Sigh, if these bastards can leave us even half of the money we brought with us, we'll be lucky."

Upon hearing this, Piggy nodded, but his eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

On this side, as soon as Li Huai-ren got into the car, he said to Qiao Wu:

"Senior brother, have someone keep a close eye on Piggy for me."

This bastard is suspicious; he's probably been eyeing me for a while now. No wonder he kept dragging his feet and not taking it seriously when I asked him to help you apply for gun licenses.

"Senior, next time you bypass that 'pig fat guy' and go straight to the British to get your gun license. Yeah, Hong Kong's in a mess right now, try to get as many gun licenses as possible."

"Okay, boss." Qiao Wu's eyes flashed coldly as he replied.

Sitting in the back of the car, Li Huai-ren thought to himself that even at this point, Lei Luo still refused to sell him his property despite the severe financial hardship. He sneered inwardly.

"Hmph, I didn't want to bribe The Sun to publish a third article."

Since you still have illusions and think you have time to negotiate with me, then I'll just add fuel to the fire.

The article, "Why Does London Tolerate Corruption Among Colonial Hong Kong Police?", should also be published; the small amount of money the Sun newspaper earns should still be given.

That night, around 2 a.m., Lei Luo received another long-distance call from London. After hanging up, he almost collapsed to the ground.

After regaining his senses, Lei Luo felt an intense hatred for Fang Ansheng and had a further suspicion about his identity:

This person must have been someone in the Hong Kong British government who frequently had access to political and policy documents to clearly link Hong Kong's corruption problem to both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party, which is why London took it seriously and began to address the systemic corruption problem within the Hong Kong British government.
