Chapter 135 Big D's Dominance
Recently, Lu Yongqiang has been in extreme tension with several big bosses represented by the Le family.
If this was just an extreme tug of war, Lu Yongqiang would at most waste energy and time, and it wouldn't be considered that troublesome.
The most troublesome thing is that before Lu Yongqiang's dispute had a final result, the news actually reached Big D's ears.
Lu Yongqiang didn't expect that Big D would be so domineering. Before he had any results, Big D got angry and called him directly to question him. He also warned Lu Yongqiang that if he dared to cooperate with a few big bosses, he would bear the consequences.
When the Le family came over, Lu Yongqiang anticipated that Big D might be unhappy. After all, these bosses had always supported Big D, but now they were supporting Lu Yongqiang, which must have made Big D very unhappy.
Although Lu Yongqiang expected that Big D might be unhappy, he did not expect Big D to react so strongly and not give him any face at all.
Lu Yongqiang really didn't want to provoke Big D, but that didn't mean he was afraid of Big D. Faced with Big D's warning, Lu Yongqiang didn't take it seriously and continued to contact the Le family, and then trouble arose.
Big D had always been arrogant and domineering, and after becoming the leader of Heliansheng, he became even more arrogant. Seeing that Lu Yongqiang ignored his warning, he immediately turned hostile.
Recently, Big D's younger brothers have been coming to Lu Yongqiang's territory from time to time to provoke him. Although there has been no major conflict between the two sides, minor frictions have occurred from time to time.
That’s not all. Big D also came into contact with the golden tiger Sandhopper from Tung Sing and started to target Lu Yongqiang’s business in Tsuen Wan.
Since cooperating with Big D, with the help of Big D's influence in Tsuen Wan, Lu Yongqiang has won several large decoration projects in Tsuen Wan and opened several real estate agencies.
However, the situation has changed recently. Problems have occurred one after another at several construction sites in Tsuen Wan that are under renovation. Not only do people come to the construction sites to cause trouble from time to time, but the cooperating material suppliers are also threatened and are not allowed to provide decoration materials to Lu Yongqiang. Now several construction sites are unable to carry out normal construction and have all stopped work.
Real estate agencies are also facing constant problems, with tenants complaining of harassment and demanding to cancel their leases. Clients who were planning to sell their homes are also changing their minds and saying they don't want to sell.
The decoration business that was about to be signed was inexplicably snatched away by Golden Tiger. Golden Tiger recently opened two real estate agencies in Tsuen Wan. Most of the customers who left Lu Yongqiang's real estate agency became Golden Tiger's customers.
Lu Yongqiang knew that these things were related to Big D, but it was useless to know. For a while, he really couldn't do anything about Big D.
Big D has many businesses, including gambling boats, horse racing, prostitutes, selling ecstasy, bars, nightclubs, etc. As long as it can make money, Big D basically does it.
But his core industry is only gambling ships. He has a large sightseeing cruise ship that goes out to sea twice a month. Each time he goes out to sea, he will pass through several countries in Southeast Asia to pick up people, and then gamble on the high seas.
Big D previously focused his main energy on this gambling ship and was not interested in other industries, but Tsuen Wan was his territory alone, and various gray industries could not bypass him, which was enough to make him well-off.
After Lu Yongqiang and Da D started working together, in order to develop the decoration and real estate agency business in Tsuen Wan, Lu Yongqiang promised Da D that he could let him do business in his own territory. As long as he did not sell drugs or ecstasy, he could do any other business.
However, apart from the gambling ship business, Big D was not interested in other businesses. For such a long time, Big D had opened two horse racing stables in Lu Yongqiang's territory and had no other business at all.
So now things are very troublesome. Big D has the means to make things difficult for Lu Yongqiang, but Lu Yongqiang doesn't have many means to fight back.
Lu Yongqiang suffered a significant loss after Big D's flurry of attacks. His real estate company wasn't built to make a quick buck and then resort to underhanded schemes, but to grow and develop, to make it bigger and stronger, and to become his future pillar industry.
So no matter whether it is an agency or a decoration company, Lu Yongqiang operates it as a formal company. After Big D caused such trouble, Lu Yongqiang couldn't do anything and he would probably have to pay a lot of liquidated damages later.
The situation has been deadlocked for two days. During these two days, Lu Yongqiang has been thinking about whether he should temporarily give in to Big D to avoid causing greater losses.
But after careful consideration, Lu Yongqiang immediately accepted the loss. He had already assigned Dong Si to handle compensation for breach of contract at several construction sites currently under renovation. As for the real estate agencies, they would refund the rent if they were due, and pay the liquidated damages if they were due. No matter how great the loss was, Lu Yongqiang accepted it this time.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. That night, after Lu Yongqiang and Dong Si had a discussion, Lu Yongqiang leaned against the bed and smoked a cigarette. Dong Si suddenly said, "Aqiang, the company has finished handling all the follow-up matters in Tsuen Wan. I calculated that the company has lost a total of more than two million this time.
The money wasn't much, but the agency lost the clients and reputation it had worked so hard to build in Tsuen Wan. That was the biggest loss. These past few months of hard work were for nothing."
As soon as Dong Si finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang's good mood immediately disappeared. He pressed the cigarette butt in his hand heavily into the ashtray, and then said in a cold voice: "That bastard Big D is really cruel this time. I will settle this account with him sooner or later."
Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Dong Si said, "Aqiang, since you don't want to cooperate with those big bosses for the time being, why bother offending Big D? Why don't you just talk to Big D and talk things out?"
Hearing Dong Si say this, Lu Yongqiang frowned. He glanced at Dong Si, who was lying on his chest, and asked, "Are you asking me to bow to Big D?"
Dong Si raised his head from Lu Yongqiang's chest and said, "Aqiang, I'm not asking you to bow to Big D, but I think you can have a good talk with Big D."
Lu Yongqiang sneered and said, "Talk... talk nonsense! Sisi, you have always been smart, but today you can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant.
My business is spread all over Hong Kong. If I give in to Big D this time, and someone follows his example next time and attacks my business, will I have to give in too?
I'm the boss of the club, and it might not be a big deal if I bow to Big D once in a while, but if I bow to everyone else, will I still be able to survive? How can I be the boss anymore?"
Lu Yongqiang admitted his loss and never agreed to cooperate with those bosses. Big D thought that Lu Yongqiang was surrendering in disguise. After that, he stopped making small moves and his subordinates stopped going to Lu Yongqiang's territory to provoke him.
On this day, Lu Yongqiang took Dadong to fish in Tai Lam Chung Reservoir. The reason why Lu Yongqiang went to fish in the reservoir on Lantau Island was because his friend Lin Huaile, the leader of Liansheng, often brought his son here to fish.
Including today, this is Lu Yongqiang's third day to come here to fish. He is not fishing for fish, but for Lin Huaile.
Shouhou sent someone to follow Lin Huaile for a while and found that Lin Huaile would bring his son here to fish almost at the end of every month.
Lu Yongqiang was concentrating on fishing when Dadong suddenly walked up to him and whispered, "Brother, Lin Huaile is here."
Lu Yongqiang turned around and looked behind him, and found that Lin Huaile was walking towards the pond with his son.
Lu Yongqiang stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Le, you are the leader of a gang, how come you have the leisure time to go fishing?"
Although Lu Yongqiang and Lin Huaile were not very familiar with each other, they knew each other.
Seeing Lu Yongqiang greet him, Lin Huaile was stunned for a moment, then walked towards Lu Yongqiang and said as he walked, "I'm just taking a break from my busy life. I happened to be free today, so I wanted to spend more time with the kids. Ah Qiang, how come you have time to come here fishing?"
Lu Yongqiang smiled bitterly and said, "I came to Lantau Island to relax. I've been so annoyed lately that I can't stay at home."
Lin Huaile smiled and said, "Aqiang, not only is your business flourishing, but you also have many talented people working for you. How can you still have any worries?"
Lu Yongqiang sighed pretentiously and said, "Hey! This is a long story. Brother Le, how about we go fishing together and chat while we're at it?"
After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Lin Huaile did not refuse and came to Lu Yongqiang with his fishing gear.
After a busy period, Lin Huaile's hook was in the water. He said, "Aqiang, I heard that you had some conflicts with Big D recently?"
Lu Yongqiang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Le, you really are asking for trouble. Speaking of which, my troubles are related to this matter.
I have some friendship with the eldest daughter of the Le family. Recently, Mr. Le, the third master of the Le family in Hong Kong, came to me and said that he and several big bosses were planning to set up a real estate company in Tuen Mun. He was interested in my influence in Tuen Mun and wanted to recruit me to join.
These bosses used to support Big D, but I don’t know how the talks with Big D broke down, so they wanted me to join them.
According to Mr. Le Sanye and his people, our Hong Kong city has a large population and limited land. With the development of the economy, the population will definitely increase. Therefore, they are optimistic about the development of the New Territories and are preparing to occupy some land in the New Territories.
At the beginning, they were indeed optimistic about Big Brother D and wanted to cooperate with him. Earlier, they had already negotiated the terms with Big Brother D. However, recently Big Brother D raised the price too high, so they decided to start over.
This kind of huge business worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars would be attractive to everyone, including me. However, I have been cooperating with Brother D for a long time, so I am very hesitant about this matter.
Just when I was hesitating, Big Brother D called me directly to question me without giving me any face at all. We parted on bad terms afterwards.
After that, my business in Tsuen Wan was completely disrupted. People were disrupting my construction site and my real estate agency. Big D even teamed up with Golden Tiger from Tung Sing to compete with me.
Big Brother D is not only the leader of you and Liansheng, but also has the support of a lot of big bosses behind him. He is also cooperating with Tung Sing. I am not capable enough to defeat him, so I can only admit defeat and stop all business in Tsuen Wan.
This is already annoying enough, but I didn't expect that the money-spending woman at home doesn't understand my difficulties. She's been arguing with me all day these past few days. I really can't stay at home anymore, so I have to come to Lantau Island to relax.
