9 o'clock in the morning, sunny and sunny, Wan Chai Central, Queen's Road.
Du Weiguo's privately customized Land Rover jeep was driving steadily on the road, and Pang Xiaoqing skillfully controlled the steering wheel.
She is a smart girl, and she is also hard-working enough to regard Du Weiguo's explanation as a golden rule.
In just half a year, she not only learned Cantonese and English, but also mastered her marksmanship and was able to drive with perfect accuracy.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Pang Xiaoqing was peeking at Du Weiguo, who was leaning on the passenger seat and looking out the window smoking.
His gaze was as hot as a laser. Du Weiguo had experienced many battles and his sixth sense became stronger, so he could naturally feel her aggressive gaze.
Du Weiguo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was not a teddy. He could be in the air all day long and do whatever he wanted without being picky.
There is indeed a magnetic field induction between people. Du Weiguo really has no interest in Pang Xiaoqing and has no interest at all. It has nothing to do with appearance, figure or origin.
Du Weiguo was still a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, it was clear sky and daytime, and he was on the road. If he were alone in the dead of night, he would really shrink back in embarrassment.
Pang Xiaoqing's eyes couldn't stop, and he couldn't stand it anymore. Du Weiguo helplessly exhaled the smoke, crushed the cigarette butt, and rolled up the window.
He turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and broached a topic in a relaxed tone:
"Xiao Qing, the Royal Senior Sister who promised you before may not be able to do it. Yingnan wants to expand the scale of her business, so you have to help her.
Her identity is somewhat special, and she still has relatives in Sijiu City. I want her to hide in the background, and you and Xiao Ma to stand in the foreground. "
Du Weiguo, Pang Xiaoqing's team member, has always been obedient and his tone was extremely respectful:
"Sir, I can do anything. You gave me my life. No matter what I do, you just arrange it and I will do my best."
It was her attitude of wanting to give in and being submissive that had always made Du Weiguo extremely uncomfortable. He suddenly became angry and could not help but increase his tone:
"Xiaoqing, you are an independent personality, not my vassal, and your life is not given by me. Don't always belittle yourself. Express whatever you think."
Seeing that Du Weiguo was angry, Pang Xiaoqing's tone became even more humble and he even stuttered:
"Yes, I'm sorry, sir, I, that's not what I meant. I'm just willing to help Yingnan. I'm also willing to learn to do business. It's just that I'm stupid and I'm afraid that I won't do it well and I'll miss you~"
Phew~ This silly bitch is hopeless!
Du Weiguo felt angry and pitiful in his heart. He sighed longly, suppressed his anger, and his tone became gentle:
"Xiaoqing, don't worry about this. You should know that no one in Hong Kong Island dares to cheat our business. No matter what you do, everything will be prosperous. Just do it with confidence and boldness."
As soon as she heard the word "our family", Pang Xiaoqing's face turned red, her eyes turned red, and she was so charming that she was almost dripping with water, and she was shy and timid:
"I, I know, it's just that I've never done business before, so I know nothing~"
Du Weiguo smiled and shook his head:
"Don't worry, I will ask Huo Xian to teach you how to do business step by step. Huo Xian is a wise businessman, and you are not stupid. You will be able to get started quickly."
Hearing Du Weiguo praise himself, even though it was just a shallow sentence, Pang Xiaoqing still felt happy.
She has a simple nature and is the kind of girl who can shine with a little sunshine. At this moment, her whole person is bright and radiant, and her tone becomes cheerful:
"I will definitely study hard. Sir, you are amazing. Now the entire underworld in Hong Kong regards you as the founder. There are even many dwarf mules who have begun to worship you."
"Hahaha!"
Du Weiguo laughed loudly and teased himself:
"Stop making fun of me. Is this something to be proud of? I used to be the director of the Secret Service Department, a serious nemesis of crime, and a defender of the right path.
It's a good thing now. He kills people like crazy and becomes the leader of a stinky gangster. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's notorious. If my father knew anything about it, he would climb up and strangle me to death! "
Du Weiguo's tone was sighing and his expression was slightly melancholy. Upon hearing this, Pang Xiaoqing became a little anxious and denied it seriously:
"No, sir, you are a great hero, with a courageous sword and a gentle heart, a chivalrous bone and a soft heart. You have never harmed even an innocent person.
On the contrary, you have always supported the strong and the weak, and have the world in mind. A few days ago, you donated 100 million in supplies to the north. You, you are the first-class hero in the world~~"
Du Weiguo's face turned red when she praised him, and he looked a little embarrassed:
"Xiaoqing, please stop boasting. You also know that I got all this money from Lei Luo. It came from a shady way and was hot to the touch. It was really embarrassing, so I donated it."
Pang Xiaoqing's tone was very solemn:
"Sir, you don't have to be modest. I've heard a little bit about the situation in the north. There are many people richer than you, but besides you, who else has ever spent such a big sum of money?"
"Uh~~"
Du Weiguo was completely speechless, thinking to himself that it was impossible to find anyone richer than him on the entire Hong Kong Island.
Du Weiguo has been making a lot of money every day recently. Since leaving America, his money has been in tens of millions, and it's in U.S. dollars.
Now, his net worth, regardless of the two cash cows of Pattaya and Kuiana, just in cash and gold, has exceeded 300 million.
More than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars are still real money. Now in the entire Hong Kong Island, except for banks, no one can take it out happily.
I couldn't talk any more that day. Fortunately, after turning an intersection, I could see the HSBC Hong Kong Head Office in the distance. I saw a dark Rolls-Royce parked in front of the bank in the distance.
This is Huo Xian's car. His personal bodyguard Aaron is standing in front of the car, squinting and observing the surroundings carefully.
Pang Xiaoqing frowned and blurted out subconsciously:
"Huo Xian's bodyguard is not qualified. Although he seems to be a good practitioner with good leg skills, he is too conspicuous and too open.
He just stood here, which made it easier to expose the target position, putting Huo Xian in danger and being attacked by long-range gunmen. "
Pang Xiaoqing is a kung fu master, with eyes and ears in all directions, especially after serving as a policeman and becoming familiar with firearms, his horizons have become higher.
Du Weiguo smiled:
"Xiao Qing, you have to know that people like Huo Xian have reached a certain level of status. They are so powerful that they can influence the whole body.
On his own territory, he would not encounter a professional assassination, which would cause a turbulent situation that would not end well. Under pressure, the authorities could only get to the bottom of it. "
Pang Xiaoqing seemed to understand, his brows were knitted together, and he tilted his head in a silly and cute manner. Du Weiguo patiently explained:
"Xiaoqing, you have been a policeman for a while, and you should know that there is no case that cannot be solved in the world. If you peel back the details and trace the reasons, you can always find the mastermind behind it.
Therefore, compared with professional assassins, attacks with two knives are more deadly and more effective. To deal with such people, bodyguards like him are enough. "
The amount of information contained in Du Weiguo's words was a bit large. Pang Xiaoqing frowned and thought for a while before replying in a deep voice:
"Thank you sir for your advice. I seem to understand a little bit."
Seeing Mr. Huo again, he was much more enthusiastic than before. Not only did he take the initiative to get out of the car and come out all the way, he also brought Huo Lili, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Seeing the handsome and handsome Du Weiguo again, Huo Lili's big, watery eyes seemed to be glued to him, and they were almost wired.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the longing for her that had slowly calmed down instantly ignited like a raging fire.
What a crime!
Because he had to attend to some official matters today, Du Weiguo took a rare moment to prepare himself seriously. He took off his hunting clothes that were convenient for working and put on the four-piece suit customized by Zhao Yingnan for him.
Black woolen lapel-collar double-breasted suit, swallow-tail collar vest, shiny formal leather shoes, snow-white Windsor collar shirt, no tie.
Resting the body and nourishing the energy, a year ago, Du Weiguo could still pretend to be young, pretending to be a young college student, flirting with Huo Lili.
Now after bloody battles and hardships, his momentum is as strong as an abyss and as immovable as a mountain. Not to mention Huo Lili, even Huo Xian is unconsciously dwarfed in front of him.
Du Weiguo showed no sign of embarrassment and greeted him generously:
"Lily, long time no see, she is getting more and more beautiful."
Du Weiguo was old-fashioned and sounded like her elders, but Huo Lili's mind was blank at the moment and she couldn't care anymore.
His little face turned red, and he tried to keep his spirits up, but he was stumbling, and his words were a little awkward:
"Wei, Wesley, long time no see~"
Seeing her miserable performance, Pang Xiaoqing, who had been watching with cold eyes, sighed secretly, feeling sympathy for her.
Du Weiguo just greeted Huo Lili politely and ignored him. He turned directly to Huo Xian and said in a calm tone:
"Mr. Huo, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. You are well-informed, so you must have known the purpose of my visit."
Huo Xian smiled broadly and his tone was slightly exaggerated:
"Ha! Brother Wesley, to tell you the truth, I heard that you were going to flex your muscles in Hong Kong Island and revitalize industry. I was so happy that I jumped three feet high and didn't sleep a wink all night.
Hong Kong Island is in a state of ruin, and we Chinese are so overwhelmed by those foreign devils that we are almost out of breath, but there is a figure like a dragon in the sky who is willing to stand up and take the lead. "
Du Weiguo also laughed:
"Mr. Huo, you are too flattering to me. I just want to make some money and invest in some small business.
But you also know that I am a rough person and have a dark eye on business, so I am shameless enough to ask you, the true god, for advice. "
The sedan chair was carried by everyone. Du Weiguo was now well versed in the art of language, and his beautiful words were silky and fluent. Huo Xian was amused and laughed loudly, with a cheerful tone:
"Brother Wesley, in front of you, the evil god, who dares to call himself a true god? I heard that you drafted new family laws for all societies in Hong Kong yesterday, which is so happy!
Don't give up. If you want to open a business in Hong Kong Island, the first person you will think of is me, Lao Huo. Even if you work hard and lose your mind, you still have to complete the errand you assigned. "
What Huo Xian said was half true and half false. His recent situation on Hong Kong Island has been a bit unsettling. Due to both his political stance and the special period, he is being ruthlessly suppressed by Western forces.
The business on Hong Kong Island has been at a semi-stagnant state, so I had to find another way and go to Pattaya to invest in real estate projects and open up new sources of income.
Du Weiguo's reputation in Hong Kong Island and the dark world is now at its peak, sweeping away all dissenters. He is now pulling Huo Xian to work together, which is equivalent to showing his support.
Those monsters and monsters who were hiding in the dark and poking at them would inevitably put away their paws, giving Huo Xian a rare chance to breathe.
Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and gains and losses. If Huo Xian wants to be in the same boat as Du Weiguo, he has to bear a lot of risks.
At the level that Mr. Huo is currently at, he may not be able to understand the horrors of the Freemasons, let alone the grudges between them and Du Weiguo.
But Du Weiguo has many enemies on his face. Just the CIA alone is enough to scare people and make them shy away.
Du Weiguo's current loyal allies, whether they are the three-member group in Japan, the Kongka Triangle, or the submissive Hong Kong Island community.
These guys were all shocked by Du Weiguo's unbridled cruelty. Once something happened to him, there would be a backlash, and the consequences are self-evident.
The reason why Du Weiguo made an appointment with Huo Xian at the door of the bank today was also full of meaning. If we go in together, we will be on the same boat, sharing the blessings and hardships.
Of course, if Huo Xianxin had concerns, Du Weiguo would never force him. As the old saying goes, a melon that is forced is not sweet, and it is very easy to be stabbed in the back.
Du Weiguo saw Huo Xian's desperate attitude and vowed, and couldn't help but remind him:
"Mr. Huo, I am notorious and have many enemies. You, a wealthy businessman with a clean reputation, should think twice about it?"
Huo Xian's eyes were heavy, and he sighed quietly, with a solemn tone:
"Brother, those of us Chinese who have fallen overseas are homeless and without a country. We are dependent on others and have no one to rely on. We should share our sorrows and stay together.
I see everything you do, and you deserve to be called a hero with awe-inspiring righteousness. I, Lao Huo, am willing to spend all my wealth to advance and retreat with you, even if I am broken into pieces. "
"I do too!"
Huo Lili, who had been listening but couldn't get a word in, was so excited by her father's two words that she jumped out and roared.
Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows. He was in high spirits, clasped his fists in salute, stretched out his hand towards Huo Xian, and said in a sincere tone: "Thank you very much, Huo Xian, for not giving up. Then let us cooperate sincerely and share weal and woe~"
Working with Huo Xian to build the factory, Du Weiguo had long thought out the specific strategy. He would invest 90%, but only hold 80% of the shares. Huo Xian would invest 10%, and his personal connections and management experience would account for 10%.
Du Weiguo is very ambitious and wants to build three factories on Hong Kong Island at once, with a planned total investment of up to 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
They are a cigarette factory, a brewery, and a fast food factory. This is what he had thought about early on.
The cigarette factory is ready. Directly acquire the Nanyang Brothers Cigarette Factory, which is currently on the verge of bankruptcy. Iron box Double Happiness, even a seasoned smoker will understand.
As for the brewery, Du Weiguo plans to introduce Kirin beer technology from Japan. This kind of beer has a lighter taste and is more suitable for the tastes of Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia.
Needless to say, it goes without saying that it is a fast food factory. Its flagship products are of course instant noodles and potato chips. Du Weiguo had already thought of the name, so he called it Master Kong.
That's right, it's just blatant plagiarism. I'm really tired of thinking of names. I just love it!
As for the negotiations with the Japanese factory, Du Weiguo didn't care at all. With the powerful local snake like the Yamaguchi-gumi mediating, there should be no problem.
As for the basic investment strategy, Huo Xian took advantage of it in the key client room of HSBC. Naturally, he was grateful and followed everything.
Therefore, the negotiation process was extremely smooth, and the order was completed in just a few words. Du Weiguo is now wealthy and spends money with great arrogance.
After finalizing the general content, he transferred 100 million Hong Kong dollars to Zhao Yingnan on the spot and 50 million to Huo Xian's account. The initial expenses were basically enough.
As for the specific site selection, negotiation and other details, Du Weiguo has a lot of things to do every day, and naturally he has no time to take care of it.
Huo Xian will not come forward in person. Huo Lili will take care of the whole process on his side, while on Du Weiguo's side, Pang Xiaoqing will take care of it.
Du Weiguo is obviously only 25 years old and in his youth, but he already has the mentality of an old father who deliberately cultivates his younger generations.
After the three factories on Hong Kong Island have stabilized their foothold, Du Weiguo will take the second step and start to enclose land and build buildings. Yes, he wants to follow Li Chaoren's path, leaving him with nowhere to go.
After coming out of HSBC, Du Weiguo said goodbye to Huo Xian and Xiaoqing, and drove alone to the Bank of China on Des Voeux Road, where he met Zhao Mingwei, who had been waiting eagerly for a long time.
Du Weiguo stopped Zhao Mingwei from preparing to make tea, sat down on the sofa, and said loudly:
"Don't bother, Director Zhao. Find someone now. Take the debt contract and go directly to Li Jiacheng's office at Yangtze River Industries and ask him for money."
Du Weiguo's statement was so domineering and abrupt. Zhao Mingwei was just a bank manager. He had little information and didn't know the ups and downs in the world. Naturally, he was shocked by the thought:
"Wei, Mr. Wesley, aren't you being a little rash? I'm afraid it's a little unruly to do things like this?"
Du Weiguo slowly lit a cigarette without saying anything. At this moment, the phone on Zhao Mingwei's desk suddenly rang.
He nodded apologetically to Du Weiguo and picked up the phone on the table:
"Hey, I'm Zhao Mingwei, eh? What, a Jianghu man? Oh, oh, okay, I understand, I'll be down right away."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mingwei turned pale and looked at Du Weiguo dumbfounded. His eyes flickered and he asked tremblingly:
"First of all, sir, several trucks of charlatans came downstairs. They looked fierce and said that you invited them here."
Du Weiguo exhaled smoke, with an expressionless face and a calm tone:
"That's right, they are all professional debt collectors. You can just take them from house to house to ask for money. If they don't give it, they will just smash it. It's 50 Hong Kong dollars per person a day. You have to pay for the labor and gas money." ( End of this chapter)
