Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 77 "77" Annan Boy, Ruthless and Flirtatious

The following day, Lin Yao and Ye Rongjin signed the land transfer contract.

Furthermore, they invited many reporters, leaving Ye Rongjin with no way to retaliate.

Ye Rongjin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he even had to shake hands with this guy and pretend to be close with a frustrated look on his face, otherwise the acquisition would easily be over-interpreted.

After all, their Mingda Group is stronger, while Lin Yao is weak.

If we don't act more amicably, people will think that Mingda Group is bullying others.

"Thank you very much, young master!" Lin Yao shook hands with Ye Rongjin with a smile, the two looking like "good friends".

Ye Rongjin's smile distorted as he recalled the humiliation he suffered at Guangyao Real Estate Company that day.

After the transaction was completed, they couldn't help but wipe their hands on their clothes.

With ten million in hand, it was well worth the effort Lin Yao had put in; in short, it was a highly profitable deal.

As for the future of Guangyao Real Estate Company, Lin Yao felt that it was worth considering in the long run, and that he should first take on some projects to support his own construction company.

After all, another property market crash is imminent. Morgan Stanley has published a research report stating that a property bubble has formed in Hong Kong. Coupled with factors such as the United States raising interest rates seven times in a row, the Hong Kong government is trying to curb the growth of housing prices.

During this period, Hong Kong's property market declined by 30%, which was a good time for Lin Yao to enter the market.

Therefore, if Mingda wants to teach Lin Yao a lesson through overt means, it will likely be disappointed.

After the signing ceremony, Lin Yao returned to his Shilong Street with the check.

As soon as he entered the bar, he saw several of his men punching and kicking two of his henchmen in the alley next door.

Lin Yao frowned and went over to ask, "What happened?"

"Boss! This bastard is selling flour in our territory!" The henchman kicked another henchman viciously. "I heard they're a bunch of Annamese!"

"Annan boy?" Lin Yao asked, frowning. "Is he from the Number Gang, or did he come from Kowloon Walled City?"

The reason Lin Yao asked this question was that most of the Annamese who fled here in the early days either attached themselves to the Number Gang or hid in Kowloon Walled City.

The number gang and the Kowloon Walled City people didn't treat them as human beings, but as professional gunmen, specifically used to do dirty work.

These people are ruthless and never leave anyone alive, which makes them highly regarded in the underworld.

Thus, the Annamese gunmen became a notorious group of assassins!
"No, they're those bastards from the Annamite Gang!" one of his henchmen said angrily. "These bastards have really gotten their hands on lately; I heard they've started their own gang!"

Hearing what the henchman said, Lin Yao immediately said, "Then let their boss come and bring the money to pick up the people!"

"I know, boss!"

The henchman grabbed the two Annamese men and said, "Get up! Get inside now, or I'll have to call you in!"

Shaking his head, Lin Yao entered the bar and handed the check to Jimmy.

"That's it?" Jimmy asked, somewhat surprised.

Lin Yao spread his hands and said, "What else do you want? Do you want me to fight Ye Rongjin? By the way, haven't there been quite a few Annamese guys showing up lately?"

Jimmy nodded: "Indeed, quite a few Annamese have appeared recently. I heard that with the support of several Annamese bosses nearby, they've created an Annamese gang. I guess they're their people!"

"I just saw my men arrest a few Annamese. Have their boss come and take them over later so we can have a proper talk!" Lin Yao said directly, "If we can't reach an agreement, then we'll fight!"

Although Lin Yao doesn't like fighting, he's definitely not afraid of fighting.

Besides, we have a strong and well-equipped army now, what are we afraid of!
If the other side really dares to send gunmen, Lin Yaoyang's Tian Yangsheng and others in Kowloon Walled City are not to be trifled with.

Lin Yao refused to believe it. Could these Annamese refugees be more professional than mercenaries?
Less than half an hour later, a car hurriedly drove up.

Then a guy with a face full of scars walked in.

This guy has typical Annamese features and is clearly the leader of the Annamese gang.

"Brother Yao, it's an honor to meet you!" The man greeted Lin Yao with a smile.

Lin Yao sat in the booth and glanced at the other person indifferently: "The Annan Gang?"

"My nickname is 'Great Hero,' you can just call me Ah Xia!" Great Hero said with a smile. "I heard that my underlings are buying flour on your turf, so I've come to apologize to you!"

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and since the hero's attitude was so good, Lin Yao couldn't make things difficult for him.

He said directly to the hero, "You are a hero, please have a seat!"

After sitting down, the hero picked up a bottle of strong liquor and downed it in front of Lin Yao: "This bottle of liquor is to apologize to you, Brother Yao. As for my underlings being ignorant, this is my sincerity!"

The hero then took out 100,000 yuan and placed it on the table: "I hope Brother Yao can be lenient!"

This series of actions left Lin Yao, who was there to question him, completely bewildered.

I originally thought that since the Annamese were so arrogant, the meeting would definitely be tense and hostile.

Who knew this guy would start by offering toasts and giving money, leaving Lin Yao no chance to lash out even if he wanted to.

If he were to make things difficult for them any further, everyone in the martial arts world would say that Lin Yao had gone too far. Lin Yao could only say to Jimmy, "Release them!"

"Thank you, Brother Yao!" the hero said with a smile. "Our territories are relatively close. If any of your henchmen misbehave and cause trouble on your turf, just let me know!"

"If there's anything we can collaborate on in the future, I hope Brother Yao can give me your guidance."

Having been given both substance and face, Lin Yao naturally had nothing to say.

After having a couple of drinks with the hero, he released his men.

"This guy is actually quite sensible!" Jimmy said, watching the hero's retreating figure.

Lin Yao frowned, feeling that this chivalrous man looked somewhat familiar.

So he said to Jimmy, "Keep an eye on these Annamese during this time! I have a feeling they might cause trouble! Get some more people to find out what's going on with this Annamese gang!"

Jimmy nodded: "I understand, something is definitely not right! I'll have someone take care of it!"

"By the way, Yao, Big D came to see you today. He said he has something he wants to talk to you about!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Yao asked, somewhat surprised.

“It seems like… they’re planning to use our film company to launder money!” Jimmy said after thinking for a moment.

Lin Yao immediately laughed: "Your reaction was really quick!"

The idea of ​​using movies for money laundering has been around for a long time.

Otherwise, why would those gangs be so eager to film movies here?
The entertainment industry is a lucrative business, partly because it allows people to have affairs with female celebrities, but more importantly, it's a way to launder money.

Just think about it: they set up a huge set that would normally only cost a few hundred thousand, but they quoted millions, and then dismantled it immediately after filming.

Will those millions then become a legitimate investment and be included in the film's budget?

For example, some props are incredibly cheap, but the prices are inflated. As long as it's not too outrageous, who can figure out the tricks behind it?
Not to mention tricks like dual contracts; there are plenty of ways to launder money.

A single film can launder a large amount of dirty money in as little as ten days or as long as one or two months. How could the gangsters easily let go of such a lucrative business?

It's unclear whether Big D's ability to notice this was due to his own keen eye or his wife's.

However, Lin Yao intended to use the first movie to make a name for himself and didn't plan to mess around with it; he would wait for the second movie.

So Lin Yao said directly to Jimmy, "If Big D comes again, we'll stall him for a while until I'm ready. I reckon once the gang finds out about this, a lot of people will try to launder money with us."

"Hehe, this is a business too!" Jimmy said with a smile.

"By the way, how are Hung Hing and Tung Sing doing?" Lin Yao asked.

Jimmy shook his head: "No fight broke out. Perhaps Camel from Tung Sing has reached an agreement with Chiang Tin-sang. Anyway, that Tung Man Bar is closed, and Tung Sing's men have withdrawn from Wan Chai!"

"Tsk, those two old bastards, they're really good at holding back!" Lin Yao shook his head: "But there's someone who should be more anxious about this!"

……

This is due to the sale of land to Ming Tai Group, as well as previous housing estate projects.

This made Lin Yao's real estate company somewhat famous. So he took the opportunity to set up a subordinate construction company, stuffing in a lot of idle henchmen, and letting them take on small projects to support them.

It's better than them just loitering around on the streets all day doing nothing.

Having work and money to earn is actually a good thing for these peripheral blue lanterns (referring to government-funded enterprises).

Although the work in the construction industry is tiring, it can really make money!
Especially given the continuous rise in housing prices.

Even many of Lin Yao's subordinates were tempted and applied to Lin Yao to work for the construction company.

Lin Yao naturally accepted all comers; after all, Shilong Street was such a small area that it didn't need so many people guarding it.

Besides, when we need someone, it's just a matter of making a phone call.

After working with Jimmy for half a day, they returned to their bar in their own territory. Then they heard a henchman walk over and say to Lin Yao and Jimmy, "Boss, Jimmy, a lot of Annamese guys have come recently. They seem to be doing business in our place!"

"Annan boy again?" Lin Yao and Jimmy both frowned.

After entering the bar, the two quickly spotted several Annamese men, as pointed out by the henchmen.

However, what attracted the most attention was her body twisting and turning on the dance floor, her dance moves were quite alluring and seductive.

"Damn, it's you, Dance King Zha Ge!" Lin Yao recognized the guy at a glance.

Lin Yao had thought that the swordsman looked familiar, but it turned out he was the guy from the movie "Flash Point"!

However, these three guys are quite troublesome, and each one is more insane than the last, making it quite difficult to subdue them.

They even used bombs to take out an undercover agent.

Lin Yao wouldn't dare use people like that!
