Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Chapter 232 Dafei's request, careful poaching

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dafei hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Qiang, how about you find a few more shops and sell those three shops to me? If you suffer any losses in the process, I will cover them all."

After Da Fei finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang said, "Da Fei, if you want me to sell the shop to you, you have to give me a reason, right? Come on, tell me your reason. If you can satisfy me, I can sell the shop to you. I don't mind the loss or anything like that. But if you can't satisfy me, I won't sell this shop to you."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dafei thought for a moment and said, "Brother Qiang, I can't tell you the reason, but I owe you a favor for this."

Lu Yongqiang snorted coldly and said, "Brother Fei, I don't dare to ask for your favor. Let's leave it at that! Just pretend I never said anything."

Having said that, Lu Yongqiang stood up somewhat unhappily and prepared to leave.

Lu Yongqiang didn't use any tricks on Dafei's woman, and now he is using this matter to negotiate terms with Dafei, which is already giving Dafei a lot of face.

No matter what the reason is that Dafei's woman doesn't want to move out, Dafei should explain it clearly to Lu Yongqiang, so that he can appear sincere. But now Dafei is so vague and says nothing, it would be strange if Lu Yongqiang is happy.

Seeing that Lu Yongqiang was angry, Da Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll tell you the reason."

"That flower shop was originally opened by my mother-in-law. Back then, my wife was a scoundrel and got into big trouble, which implicated my mother-in-law, who died tragically on the street. This flower shop is my wife's last thought for her mother."

After Da Fei finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and said, "Alright! I can barely accept this reason. I can transfer the store to you, and I don't want any compensation. I'll find a chance to contact Miss Tong later, and if she's willing to see you, I'll call you and let you know."

While talking, Lu Yongqiang happened to see Xiyan coming down from the second floor. Lu Yongqiang said, "I have something to do with Brother Xiyan. I won't talk to you anymore."

After saying this, Lu Yongqiang got up and left to look for Xiyan.

Walking up to Xiyan, Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother Yan, are you free? Let's find a place to talk."

He glanced at Lu Yongqiang and said, "It's too noisy in the bar. How about we go find a quieter place outside?"

"Okay! There's a coffee shop not far away. How about we go over there and sit down?" Lu Yongqiang picked a place casually.

The two came to the coffee shop and found a seat in a corner.

After the waiter brought the coffee, Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother Yan, Wei Jixiang came to me a few days ago and said that you wanted him to become your disciple. Is this true?"

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, he took off his glasses, picked up a napkin and slowly wiped the lenses. After a while, he said, "That's right."

"Xiangzi is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. I admire him very much. I have accepted him as my disciple and plan to train him as my successor."

As Xiyan finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang frowned unconsciously.

Hongtai used to be a second-rate society. When Lu Yongqiang killed the old man Chen Mei, many people died in Hongtai. Later, Wei Jixiang killed many more people in order to get promoted.

After two major turmoil, Hongtai suffered a great loss of foundation and is now just a third-rate society.

In order to help Hongtai gain a foothold in Kowloon City, Lu Yongqiang asked Wei Jixiang to recognize Xiyan as his godfather.

Later, he found a way for Wei Jixiang to make money. He asked him to make pirated videotapes and laser discs and sell them inland. He also asked Bingzai to help Wei Jixiang build sales channels in the country.

Although this business doesn't make a lot of money and is still a gray industry, it still earns one or two million yuan a month, which is enough for Wei Jixiang to support his team.

The reason why Lu Yongqiang helped Wei Jixiang was because Wei Jixiang was his younger brother. Although he was not formally a disciple of Lu Yongqiang, this group of people was already considered Lu Yongqiang's peripheral forces.

Originally, after becoming the leader of Tuen Mun, Lu Yongqiang had planned to directly take over the Hongtai faction and make Wei Jixiang his disciple. However, Jiang Tiansheng had been targeting Lu Yongqiang for the past few months, forcing Lu Yongqiang to put this plan on hold.

There are only about a thousand people in the entire Hongtai now, and those who dare to fight and fight are probably only two or three hundred. Even with such a small number of people, Lu Yongqiang doesn't really care. He already has enough followers.

What Lu Yongqiang wants is Hongtai’s current territory. If he takes over Hongtai’s flag, it means that he has territory in Kowloon City. With territory, he will have the opportunity to intervene in the prosperous area of Kowloon Island in the future.

Seeing Lu Yongqiang frowning and not speaking, he said with narrow eyes: "Qiangzi, are you unwilling?"

Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother Yan, it's not that I don't want to, but Wei Jixiang said that he wants to become my disciple."

Lu Yongqiang was lying with his eyes open. If Wei Jixiang didn't want to become Xiyan's disciple, he wouldn't have told Lu Yongqiang about this.

Since he specifically went to Lu Yongqiang to discuss this matter, it means that Wei Jixiang has been moved. Even if he said that he only wanted to be Lu Yongqiang's disciple, it was just because he was afraid of Lu Yongqiang and did not want to offend him.

Seeing Lu Yongqiang lying with his eyes open, Xiyan didn't refute him. He smiled and said, "Qiangzi, I heard Xiangzi say that you helped him a lot in the past two years. Not only did you lend him money to buy the video tape factory, but you also helped him build sales channels in China."

"Since Xiangzi has come to work for me, I won't let you, Qiangzi, suffer any loss.

I have a soft drink factory in Saigon. The factory’s performance is not very good now and it has started to make losses, but the land of the factory is still worth more than 10 million.

If you, Qiangzi, agree to let Xiangzi join my company, this soft drink factory will be transferred to your name. You can continue to run it or sell the land. It is up to you.

After Xiyan finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother Yan, it seems that you are really optimistic about Wei Jixiang, so I will help you.

I will take some time to talk to Wei Jixiang and persuade him to switch to your school."

In order to support Chen Haonan's new store, Lu Yongqiang promised others three things.

One is to be Jiang Tiansheng's bodyguard for a few days, the second is to be a matchmaker for Dafei and introduce him to Tong Keren, and the third is to let Wei Jixiang transfer to Xiyan's school.

The next day, Lu Yongqiang slept at home until the afternoon. After waking up, he went to the boxing gym to exercise for a while, and then went home. On this day, Lu Yongqiang did not do any of the things he promised to others.

On the third day, Lu Yongqiang first contacted Le Huizhen and asked Le Huizhen to ask Tong Keren out.

At a Western restaurant in Central, Lu Yongqiang invited Tong Keren and Le Huizhen to dinner.

Lu Yongqiang didn't beat around the bush. After ordering the dishes, he said, "Miss Tong, the reason I bothered Ah Zhen to ask you out this time is actually because someone asked me to."

“I heard that Tong’s International won a public housing renovation project in Lam Tin, and Miss Tong is the person in charge of this project.

A friend of mine opened a decoration company in Lantian, and he wanted to get to know Miss Tong and get some work from her.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Tong Keren frowned and then said, "What's the name of your friend's decoration company? Does it have any decoration qualifications?"

As soon as Tong Keren finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang frowned. Lu Yongqiang knew a little about Dafei's decoration company. It was called a company, but in fact it was just several decoration teams. There was not even a formal designer in the company. It was just a shell company, and the various qualification certificates were definitely incomplete.

Seeing that Lu Yongqiang remained silent, Tong Keren spoke up, "Is your friend's decoration company a shell company with no qualifications? If so, I'm afraid there's no possibility of cooperation. This project is a government project, and the quality must be guaranteed. Our company has decided to hand over the decoration to a reputable company."

After Tong Keren finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment, then said, "Miss Tong, my friend is Dafei, and he's a local tyrant in Lantian.

If possible, Miss Tong could assign him some odd jobs so that he can earn a little. With the help of this local tyrant, I think Miss Tong will have less trouble no matter what she does in Lantian."

Lu Yongqiang's words were actually well-intentioned. After all, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Public housing renovation projects are full of troubles, and having the help of local snakes can save a lot of trouble.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Tong Keren smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, are the local tyrants you're talking about from your Hongxing group?"

Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "Yes! He's the leader of our Hung Hing Kwun Tong side.

You won't suffer any loss if you cooperate with him, as many troublesome matters can be handed over to him."

Tong Keren shook her head and said, "Our Tong Group has always been doing legitimate business and will not deal with the underworld. I think this cooperation is unnecessary."

Seeing Tong Keren say this, Lu Yongqiang chuckled and said, "Since Miss Tong has made a decision, let's forget about it. I just hope Miss Tong won't regret it later."

Now that Dafei has set his sights on the public housing renovation project, he will not give up easily. Although the Tong family is powerful and Dafei cannot afford to offend them, it does not mean that Dafei will not do bad things secretly.

Although Tong Keren is good at business, it is obvious that she has not experienced the hardships of society. This is probably the first time she is responsible for a project alone.

When doing business in today's port city, there are basically few transactions that can bypass the society, and the society will more or less get a share of the pie.

After dinner, Lu Yongqiang paid the bill and left, while Le Huizhen and Tong Keren went shopping together.

Le Huizhen is not as smart as Tong Keren in some aspects, but she used to be a reporter and then joined the police force, so she is more knowledgeable than Tong Keren in some things.

Le Huizhen took Tong Keren's arm and said, "Keren, you shouldn't have rejected Yongqiang's proposal just now. It's best not to offend these local tyrants if you can. Some things are indeed much more convenient when these local tyrants come forward."

After Le Huizhen finished speaking, Tong Keren said, "Ah Zhen, you are a police officer now. You actually advised me to compromise with the gang members. You are not a competent police officer."

After hearing what Tong Keren said, Le Huizhen's face changed and looked a little ugly.

Seeing this, Tong Keren immediately spoke up! "Ah Zhen, I was just joking, you won't be angry about this, right?"
