"Big Brother, I understand even without your explanation. Chairman Chu treats me like a nephew, otherwise he could just sit back and watch my business get torn apart." Song Tianyao said, head down like a child who had made a mistake, deliberately glancing at Chu Yaozong's face.
Chu Yaozong stared at Song Tianyao and spoke in an unfriendly tone, "No need for clown acts or playing dumb. Foreign Devil don't treat China person like human beings. You can kill him, but with your intelligence, you could easily come up with dozens of ways to send him on his way if you delayed for a few months. Why did you have to act right after you secured the order, and why involve the Po Leung Kuk? Do you really think those people in the Po Leung Kuk are Philanthropists and benefactors? They are all ruthless characters who eat people without spitting out the bones. They've climbed to their current position by stepping on countless corpses!"
"You're also Big Brother from Po Leung Kuk." Song Tianyao sat down opposite Chu Yaozong with his head down, his previous smile fading, and spoke calmly, "Chairman Chu, I am where I am today because of the Chu Family and Mr. Chu's protection. Otherwise, even if I were smart, I wouldn't have been able to build my own business so quickly. I've always remembered your kindness. As for the Foreign Devil? They must be killed. First, my grandfather is very stubborn, as stubborn as an ox. His brother of decades, Bo Ming, was killed by the Foreign Devil and the orphanage staff. Even if the Jade Emperor protects the Foreign Devil, he will still take action. I can't just watch my grandfather, at his advanced age, be hanged for killing Foreign Devil, can I?"
"Secondly, this is also an opportunity. To deceive the China person, the Foreign Devil deliberately put up the Po Leung Kuk logo on their signboard. The Britain Red Cross and the China person Po Leung Kuk are irreconcilable enemies, each trying to win over the people. Po Leung Po Leung Kuk can take this opportunity to launch a massive attack on the Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch, making the Britain Red Cross Hong Kong Branch even more disreputable in the eyes of the Hong Kong people. However, even if the Red Cross is disreputable, the colonial government will certainly not be on the side of Po Leung Po Leung Kuk. But it is not good to directly protect the Red Cross when the scandal breaks out and public outrage erupts. They must give some explanation. In this situation, Oxfam, which has some connections with the Governor of Hong Kong and is headed by Britain, can take the opportunity to step in and reap the benefits."
"Third, I know my wig business is envied by everyone. This is a chance for them to speak openly, so they won't resort to underhanded tricks against me and make things even harder for me. So I might as well teach everyone how to make money in the wig business openly and honestly. It's a win-win-win situation."
"You want to give up the business and let others do it?" Chu Yaozong paused in his tea-drinking motion and looked up at Song Tianyao.
Song Tianyao readily agreed, "I can help order the machines, and I can help train the workers. I guarantee they'll learn and master the skills. Let's make money together."
"And then you take the opportunity to establish Hairpiece Industry Association and become its president? Not bad." Chu Yaozong pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "It's much better for you to have a say in an industry, to set the rules, and to stipulate that everyone should do business according to your rules, than to wait for those people to rush in and directly steal your business. I was surprised that you could think of this."
Song Tianyao clearly stated his reasons for killing the Foreign Devil, which Chu Yaozong understood very well: first, personal vendetta; second, personal gain; and third, to frame someone.
Did he really believe that Song Tianyao would kindly help everyone get rich? He didn't believe it at all. Otherwise, Song Tianyao would have already taken care of Chu Xiaoxin of specifically instructing him not to get involved in this business.
"We're all China person. If you're willing to make way and openly bring everyone into the wig industry to get a share, killing Foreign Devil involves the Po Leung Kuk. For the sake of profit, we can't really keep pursuing you. But don't do anything so impulsive again. Cleaning up your mess is exhausting. Dunbar Road is the territory of the Yau Ma Tei Police Station. I've spoken with Chairman Zhou of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, and Liu Fu will arrange for the Yau Ma Tei Police Station to handle the whole matter for your people. I heard your people killed the Yau Ma Tei Detective Chief Inspector's godson before? Take this opportunity to give that Detective Chief Inspector 100,000 dollars to ease the tension." "Let's build a relationship. Don't put on airs. Personally meet that Detective Chief Inspector and offer him some benefits. These local tyrants aren't someone you can control all of Hong Kong just by having a few under your command. Of course, the more the better. You don't need to strain their relationship with their colleagues in Dongguan or the Five Counties region just because you're supporting your own people from Chiu Chow." Seeing that Song Tianyao had explained the three things about killing the Foreign Devil so clearly, Chu Yaozong then explained what he had done. It was simple: Song Tianyao had Lam Kong from the Wan Chai Police Station kill someone on the Yau Ma Tei Police Station's turf, which clearly had some flaws. He helped Song Tianyao fill in the last gap.
"Thank you, Chairman Chu." Song Tianyao nodded. Old Man Chu's words were a reminder that he shouldn't keep praising Yan Hung and Lam Kong too ostentatiously, as that would be detrimental to them. He suggested that Lai Man-yau from the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, build a relationship, and use Lai Man-yau's help to clean up Lam Kong's mess to erase past grievances like chalk marks.
"You mentioned that Oxfam benefited from the mutual accusations and attacks between Po Leung Kuk and the Britain Red Cross. I'm a businessman and don't know much about that. However, Ah Sin's future father-in-law had already considered this possibility when we talked on the phone this afternoon. He told me that if you really had such thoughts that led you to kill the Foreign Devil, you and Ah Sin should meet with him tonight when you take Miss Lu home. He's thinking about how to help Po Leung Kuk Oxfam, Ah Sin you know more about Oxfam than Mr. Lu."
"Lu Wenhui said that if I really had the idea of killing Foreign Devil and helping others profit in the process, I would like to meet with me?" Song Tianyao directly stated the other party's name.
Chu Yaozong nodded.
"Does this mean that Chairman Chu is dissatisfied with me and is taking this opportunity to cause me a headache? Just pretend I didn't think of it, can't I just not go see him?" Song Tianyao smiled bitterly and asked Chu Yaozong.
Chu Yaozong laughed heartily, "I made eight or nine phone calls this afternoon about this little thing. Don't you think it's worth putting in the effort for those calls?"
"Yes, of course I'll help. But to be honest, I didn't ask you to make the call for me." Song Tianyao loosened his tie and then wiped his face. He said seriously, "You can't just talk nonsense when dealing with those important people. You have to have something to say. You have to come up with some methods and also help Mr. Chu's Oxfam get some benefits. It's exhausting."
