Chen Tai, with a cigarette dangling from his Handkerchief Qing to light it for him before saying, "Even if you hadn't come, Song Tianyao would have found a way to get me out. He still owes me a million, and I've had my friend go and collect the money from him."
"A million? Is it true?" A man in a suit got out of the back seat of the car, buttoning his suit jacket with his hand, and asked with a hearty smile.
Chen Tai was taken aback. "Brother Lok?"
The visitor was Lui Lok, Detective Sergeant from the Sai Kung Police Station, He-prefix gangs Big Brother Zhe Gu Cai, a triad boss.
"A-Tai, you've really done it now. You've dealt a heavy blow to the Shui Fong. Everyone's either dead, on the run, or on the run. Even those who weren't caught have all fled, and even those who didn't dare say they're Shui Fong members again." Lui Lok smiled gently, walked over, and patted Chen Tai on the shoulder. "This time, with the city-wide crackdown on triads, dozens of Shui Fong's top lieutenants have been sent to Shark Dim Sum House. It won't be three to five years before Shui Fong recovers. Come on, get in the car. I'll take you to a welcome-back party to cleanse yourselves of the bad luck. When your brothers come out, my man Xiao An will take care of them."
Chapter 430 is a good knife
Lu Rongfang covered her head with both hands, drooping her head like a quail to avoid Lu Yuanchun's gaze, hoping that her best friend Pan Guoyang could help her out. However, Pan Guoyang was resting his hands on the table, chin in hand, with a lewd look on his face, as if he wanted to drool over Lu Yuanchun. He was completely unaware of Lu Rongfang's situation.
Seeing his best friend refusing to help, Lu Rongfang could only speak up silently, "Chunmei... I never imagined the Lin Family would be so easily defeated. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have advised you to stop. I thought the Lin Family was powerful and influential, Lin Family brothers, each with deep connections..."
He was meticulous and cautious at the time. When he discovered that Song Tianyao might be facing off against the Lin Family without Pedro Lobo's support, he decisively withdrew from the situation. Moreover, he not only withdrew himself, but also persuaded Lu Yuanchun to stop betting on Lu Yuanchun Song Tianyao because he knew the two sides much better than Lu Yuanchun.
In a single day and night, the situation changed drastically. The eldest wife of the Lin Family passed away, the second wife was imprisoned for murder, Lin Xiaohe was imprisoned, Lin Xiao qia committed suicide, the Soda Factory was shut down, and the shares of Xizhen Properties were transferred to HSBC... After a series of events, the Lin Family simply admitted defeat, handed over Xizhen Properties, and obtained cash. Lu Rongfang has already received the news, and Lin Xiaoze is now in a wheelchair, arranging for the Lin Family members to leave Hong Kong.
Lu Rongfang simply couldn't understand why HSBC would stand up for Song Tianyao and spend Hong Kong dollars 80 million to buy shares in Xizhen Properties.
It's completely impossible for Lu Rongfang to believe that HSBC provided the money. The 80 million could only have been lent to Song Tianyao by HSBC, and then Song Tianyao used HSBC's name to complete the transaction. Without Pedro Lobo, how could Song Tianyao possibly get an 80 million credit line from HSBC?
Moreover, if Lu Rongfang had known that so much could happen in one night, he would never have thought of dissuading Lu Yuanchun from eating the meat. As a result, because of his words, Lu Yuanchun not only has no chance to eat meat, but he can't even drink soup. If he dares to peek out again, Song Tianyao will definitely attack him and Lu Yuanchun. Besides, Song Tianyao is now on the same side as the Britain, and the Britain don't want to see anyone else trying to compete for food.
"That bastard Song Tianyao..." Lu Rongfang cautiously raised her eyes to look at Lu Yuanchun across from her, muttering to herself.
Lu Yuanchun picked up the brewed Pu'er tea in front of him, took a small sip, and said, "Brother Fang, I don't blame you for this. Actually, I myself was unsure about Song Tianyao's situation at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have listened to you."
Hearing Lu Yuanchun say that he didn't blame her, Lu Rongfang looked up. "Really?"
Lu Yuanchun nodded slightly. "Really, Brother Fang, why don't you tell me, now that Song Tianyao has dealt with the Lin Family, what will he do next?"
"In real estate," Lu Rongfang said confidently, truthfully recounting the various matters concerning the reclamation of Bird's Beak Causeway Bay the development of Ngau Tau Shan that she had recorded in her notebook.
Lu Rongfang clearly knew that her advice had caused Chunmei to earn less, so she wanted to make up for it. She even handed Lu Yuanchun her notebook so that she could see for herself and prove that her opinion was correct.
Lu Yuanchun accepted the notebook with a gentle smile and flipped through it quietly. This gave Lu Rongfang the opportunity to observe her cousin up close. The more she observed, the more she felt that Lu Yuanchun was beyond the comprehension and taste of someone like Pan Guoyang, who had some spare money and could barely be considered a wealthy young man. Although her pretty face was smiling, her gentle smile conveyed a sense of indifference towards others. If Lu Rongfang had to describe Lu Yuanchun, Lu Rongfang felt that this cousin was unlike her grandfather, Lu You. She didn't have her grandfather's domineering spirit of ruthlessly pursuing her goals and being invincible. Instead, she was more like a person who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, slender in body but ambitious in mind, and embracing a balanced approach.
However, he certainly has the ability; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take over the Lu Family's Guangyi Bank at such a young age and come to Hong Kong alone to set up shop in the city.
If Lu Yuanchun were to seek an opportunity to collaborate with Song Tianyao on real estate, Lu Rongfang would definitely not try to dissuade him again. What he had always wanted to avoid was a direct conflict with the Lin Family, fearing that he and Lu Yuanchun would become Song Tianyao's tools or cannon fodder for nothing.
However, since real estate development is a legitimate business, without any real competitors or enemies, Lu Rongfang felt that it would be crazy for Lu Yuanchun not to try to get a share of the profits.
"I don't think Song Tianyao will rush into the real estate business, at least not for at least six months." Lu Yuanchun closed the notebook and handed it back to Lu Rongfang: "But Brother Fang, your notes are very neat. It's certain that Song Tianyao will get involved in the real estate business, it's just that the timing is still up for discussion."
"If he doesn't go into real estate, does he intend to continue making wigs?"
"He can hoard the land for now, not rushing to develop it, and wait for the land price to rise before developing it. He can once again make a clever profit without any investment," Lu Yuanchun said. "So, could we arrange to meet with him again? I'd like to know what new ideas he has in mind lately."
