A-Fat and the other plainclothes officers were somewhat timid, but they forgot about Zhao Wenye, who was walking at the back. He was a man who had been running Mong Kok in Mong Kok for months, following Yan Hung around.
When Zhao Wenye was assigned to the Mong Kok Police Station to work in Uniformed Branch after graduating from the Wong Chuk Hang Police College, Yan Hung had already thoroughly subdued the gangsters in Mong Kok. During his months in Uniformed Branch at the Mong Kok Police Station, Zhao Wenye became accustomed to the arrogant attitude of the police officers towards the gangsters. Not to mention Yan Hung, even an ordinary Uniformed Branch officer at the Mong Kok Police Station would have to smile obsequiously when he was on patrol.
Seeing that A-Fat, a plainclothes detective, had lowered his voice several octaves in fear at Tie Tou Su's threat to douse him with fire, Zhao Wenye first glanced at A-Fat with puzzlement, then stepped forward and stood in front of Tie Tou Su, asking him with a half-smile:
"Are you the boss?"
"It's me." Tie Tou Su looked Zhao Wenye up and down and said, "What? Want to be doused with molten iron?"
With a standard gun-drawing motion, Zhao Wenye raised the gun and, without hesitation, pulled the trigger at Tie Tou Su's thigh! A sharp crack rang out, and before Tie Tou Su could even react, blood gushed from his leg!
"Call the police Mong Kok Police Station later and ask Brother Yue to arrange for ten boxes of opium to be delivered. The Mong Kok Police Station has plenty of opium in stock. Then, invite some newspaper reporters to take pictures and publish them in the newspaper, saying that the owner of this Opium den is the mastermind behind the recent major opium case and has been arrested by the police." Zhao Wenye spoke calmly to the terrified A-Fat about framing him, as if he were talking about everyday matters.
After speaking to A-Fat, Zhao Wenye looked at Tie Tou Su, who had already fallen to the side, and said, "If you don't want to help Big Dragon Phoenix, then make it real, do you want to be doused in fire? With Harmony Heroes, right? So impressive, why don't you become the Governor of Hong Kong?"
Zhao Wenye was just a Uniformed Branch at the Mong Kok Police Station, but he was constantly surrounded by plainclothes leaders like Yan Hung, A Wai, A Yue, who knew he was Song Tianyao's cousin. They were already familiar with the Mong Kok Police Station's modus operandi. Now that he had been transferred to Hong Kong Island, he was surprised to immediately encounter such an ignorant gangster.
Having followed Yan Hung for so long, Zhao Wenye may not have learned much else, but he has mastered the ruthlessness and framing techniques used by people in the martial arts world.
He always remembered what Yan Hung had said to his plainclothes officers, "Ordinary people can't use the guns that the cops carry, and rich people don't dare to use them. If even gangsters don't use them, then what's the point of keeping them?"
Yan Hung certainly hadn't taught him any of this, but Zhao Wenye, who had first joined the guerrilla unit and later became a policeman, had already learned it all on his own through the influence of his environment.
At that moment, a gunshot rang out. Opium den, apart from Tie Tou Su groaning in pain on the ground, clutching his wounded thigh, everyone else was silent. Sweat beaded on A-Fat's face. Just what kind of ruthless person was this new plainclothes officer? Someone who would shoot someone at the slightest provocation?
Not only was he shocked, but Song Tianyao, who had entrusted Zhao Wenye to Yan Hung's care, would probably be just as shocked if he knew that Zhao Wenye's few months of work at the Mong Kok Police Station had turned him into this.
Chapter 277 Thoughts
"Ah Qi, look, how much did it cost to establish Jimei Company? Why don't we calculate it soon, and Ah Yuan..." Tang Wenbao asked Tang Boqi across from him, holding a cup of coffee.
He had been sitting in Tang Boqi's office at the Kimei International Trading Company in the Bivero Building for over an hour. The coffee had gone from scalding hot to lukewarm. Tang Wenbao finally found an opportunity to explain why he had come today.
He had previously told his elder brother, Tang Shihu, that the two families would join forces in business. Tang Shihu's family would be responsible for selling goods in the United States, while Tang Wenbao's son, Tang Jingyuan, would be responsible for opening a factory in Hong Kong for production. So, in the current situation, it seems that Kimei International Trading Company and Prosperity Wig Factory are Tang family businesses. However, in reality, Kimei International Trading Company was registered and established by Tang Boqi, Prosperity Wig Factory was established by Tang Jingyuan. Although they assist each other, they go their separate ways and have no fundamental connection.
However, Tang Wenbao no longer holds that view. His perception of Kimei International Trading Company's current dominance in the wig industry is already clear: 10 out of 11 factories are completely subservient to it. Why? Because Kimei International Trading Company United States orders, enabling these factories to sell their products in the United States. Furthermore, as orders increase, Kimei International Trading Company's influence in the industry will only grow. Even if a factory, like Song Tianyao, were to refuse to cooperate with Jimei Company Kimei International Trading Company, what would happen? Would they find their own way to sell in the United States? The various distributors in the United States have already partnered with Kimei International Trading Company, which controls ten factories through contracts. Would they really give a small Hong Kong factory owner a second glance?
Therefore, Tang Wenbao believed that the longer one stayed in this industry, the higher the status of Kimei International Trade would be, and the more prestigious Tang Boqi, the current head of United States Trade, would become.
In that case, the Kimei International Trading Company cannot be left to Tang Boqi to make all the decisions.
He had originally asked his sons, Tang Jingyuan and Tang Boqi, to find an opportunity to bring up the matter of investing in Kimei International Trading Company. However, Tang Boqi always easily deflected the topic that Tang Jingyuan had avoided. Seeing that Tang Boqi had become a cash cow in the eyes of the other wig factories, Tang Wenbao finally couldn't sit still and prepared to personally come forward and talk to Tang Boqi about the matter.
That's why he specially put aside his sesame business today and came here in person to see Tang Boqi.
Upon hearing Tang Wenbao's words, Tang Boqi smiled and said, "Uncle, I remember saying that I would be in charge of the United States side, and Ah Yuan would be in charge of Hong Kong. Why would you suddenly want to invest money in Kimei International Trading Company?"
A fleeting hint of embarrassment crossed Tang Jingyuan's face. Why? Of course, it was because he had only thought that the Tang family would produce wigs and have Tang Boqi sell them to the United States. He never expected that Song Tianyao would sign a large order, which would spur many factories to rush in and grab money, but it was Tang Boqi's company that became the industry Big Brother.
Tang Wenbao's expression remained unchanged; he merely smiled slightly, "Ah Qi, of course you'll be in charge of things in United States. As the business grows, you'll need to return to United States to oversee things. But it's not appropriate to hand over things in Hong Kong to outsiders..."
