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

Chapter 94 "94" An Unexpected Person, Factory Resumes Operations

It's not enough to just deal with Yaowen alone, since his personal network can't cover that many people.

Lin Yao also needs a qualified assistant to manage this gang of paparazzi.

Cultivate good relationships with various gangs in the underworld and form your own intelligence network.

In fact, Lin Yao had already chosen the candidate, Su Xingbai, whom he had rescued earlier.

Su Xingbo's case will go to court again tomorrow. As long as he wins the case, there won't be any problems.

The clerk, Su, was quite confident about the case.

[Ding! You have successfully witnessed a famous scene from "Triads": I'm just putting away the fire, not extinguishing the furnace yet. Reward: Intimidation Aura (Beginner)]

[Intimidation Aura: This can make you appear authoritative without being angry, deterring some weak-willed people, and greatly enhancing your overall presence.]

Another halo, and Lin Yao felt quite satisfied.

Add that to your charismatic aura, and then add Marc Jacobs' trench coat suit, and you're guaranteed to turn heads.
……

Lin Yao has not yet taken over the factory in Tuen Mun.

Having finished his work, Lin Yao prepared to go and take a look.

Most of Hong Kong's garment factories are located in the Tuen Mun area.

Meanwhile, the forces in Tuen Mun are all from Hung Hing, and the leader is Han Bin's younger brother, Dinosaur.

So when Lin Yao brought his people over, he first had to greet the dinosaurs, since that's the custom.

Dinosaur is the epitome of a gangster: rude, boisterous, and foul-mouthed.

"So you're Handsome Yao!" Dinosaur smiled and shook hands with Lin Yao, saying, "Finally, I've met you in person!"

"Yes, Brother Dinosaur, I have a garment factory in Tuen Mun. I hope you'll take good care of it!" Lin Yao said to Dinosaur with a smile.

"It's nothing, but I didn't expect you to open a factory here. I heard you're doing very well in magazines, movies, and real estate. Why are you eyeing such a small business?"

"Just trying to make a living. If you're interested, Dinosaur Bro, you can invest a little!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

As the two were talking, the savage next to the dinosaur said unhappily, "What's so profitable about a clothing factory? You'd be more sincere if you offered to invest in our film company!"

Upon hearing the barbarian's words, the expressions of the knife-wielding men behind Lin Yao immediately changed.

The dinosaur's expression changed instantly, and he slapped the savage across the face: "Who gave you the right to speak here? Get out!"

The savage was still somewhat unconvinced, but seeing the dinosaur get angry, he could only slink away.

Then, Dinosaur said to Lin Yao with a forced smile, "Don't worry about it, Yao. My subordinate hit his head on drugs!"

This approach, targeting someone's most profitable industry right from the start, is practically a dead end.

Even the most oblivious dinosaurs knew this much.

Lin Yao knew that Sheng Fan was an idiot, so he didn't argue with him: "As for Brother Dinosaur, these are just small things!"

Seeing that Lin Yao didn't seem to care about the matter, Dinosaur breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from Lin Yao's current strength, Jiang Tiansheng wouldn't dare to continue targeting him.

The other leaders of Hung Hing were not afraid of Lin Yao, but they also felt there was no need to offend him.

For something as small as opening a factory, it would be best if someone could make things easier for us.

Furthermore, the government will not allow these gangsters to harass the factory owners of these businesses.

If things escalate, it won't look good for anyone.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yao treated the dinosaur to a meal.

After a couple of drinks, the two sat down together with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Tuen Mun is not only an industrial area, but it is also connected to the docks.

Lin Yao believes that the counterfeit brand-name products produced in his factory will definitely be shipped to the mainland.

Building a good relationship with dinosaurs would make smuggling much easier.

"You mean the big plane that transports goods? Hiccup!" Dinosaur laughed and said, "That's easy, just find my older brother, he switched to this line of work!"

"Then I'll have to ask Brother Dinosaur to help me make the connection!" Lin Yao said, holding up his wine glass.

"That's easy, I'll just tell my brother later!" Dinosaur said readily.

After a hearty meal and drinks, the dinosaur even took him to a nightclub to continue drinking.

Anyway, the two of them can already be considered friends.

The next day, Lin Yao went to the factory to check on its condition.

When we arrived at the garment factory, it was so quiet it was like a dead place; there wasn't a single worker in sight.

There was only one old man sitting in the gatehouse, guarding the entrance.

Upon seeing Lin Yao and the others approaching, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Hey, where are you barging in from!"

Lin Yao chuckled and offered him a cigarette, saying, "Old man, where are the people in this factory?"

"Oh, good luck!" The old man quickly took the cigarette and lit it before saying to Lin Yao, "The former owner ran away with the money, and the factory workers haven't been paid, so no one is coming to work!" Lin Yao immediately frowned; this seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined.

The old man continued to lament, "It was such a good factory, and the profits were quite good, but unfortunately the owner was a spendthrift who went to Macau to gamble and lost the entire factory!"

"The new owner is slow to take over, and the factory manager can't keep going any longer!"

Lin Yao asked with some curiosity, "So, this factory manager is quite capable? And he's been supporting him for quite some time?"

"Of course, the factory manager is a good man, but even if he's the best, he can't hold out for so long without paying wages. The workers have no choice!" The old man glanced at Lin Yao and said directly, "Why are you asking about this? Who are you anyway?"

“Our boss is the new owner!” Chen Dong said to the old man with a hint of annoyance.

"Oh my, such a young boss?" the old man said, somewhat surprised.

"Alright, open the door and let me in for a look around. By the way, could you contact that factory manager and have him come over? I'm here to resolve this matter!" Lin Yao said directly.

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately opened the door for the group, then chuckled and said to Lin Yao, "Boss, the factory owes me six months' wages!"

Lin Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, they'll all be distributed in a unified manner!"

With Lin Yao's personal agreement, the old man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After making a phone call from the gatehouse, he took Lin Yao on a tour of the factory.

It must be said that this factory has quite complete facilities; the only thing it lacks is workers.

Lin Yao estimated that as long as the factory workers came back to resume work, the factory would be able to start operating immediately.

Soon, a tall, thin man wearing glasses walked over and quickly extended his hand to Lin Yao, saying, "Boss, I'm Lu Jiayao, the factory manager of this factory!"

"Hmm?" Lin Yao immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Lu Jiayao, isn't that a character from Prison on Fire?

Lu Jiayao asked, somewhat puzzled, "Boss, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Have you... been to jail before?" Lin Yao asked directly.

Lu Jiayao's expression changed immediately, but he still nodded obediently.

The old gatekeeper standing nearby quickly came to Lu Jiayao's defense: "Boss, don't let Jiayao's past incarceration fool you, he's a first-rate good man..."

"Alright, I was just asking casually," Lin Yao said with a smile to Lu Jiayao. "Do you also know someone named Zhong Tianzheng?"

Lu Jiayao was even more surprised: "Boss, how did you know?"

"However, if you really mind my identity, boss, I can submit my resignation and I will not take my previous salary."

"I told you not to rush things. So what if you've been to a prison? It's not like everyone hasn't been!" Lin Yao rolled his eyes and said, "I remember you studied art, right?"

“That’s right!” Lu Jiayao was confused by Lin Yao’s attitude and didn’t know what Lin Yao was up to.

Lin Yao took out a designer handbag and handed it to Lu Jiayao, saying, "Can you make this?"

"Piracy?" Lu Jiayao asked tentatively.

"Yes, can you do it?" Lin Yao asked.

“We can do it, but boss, if this thing appears on the market, the Commerce Bureau will come looking for trouble with us very soon!” Lu Jiayao advised.

Lin Yao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I don't plan to sell it in Hong Kong! How many people are there in Hong Kong? How much profit can we make?"

Lu Jiayao immediately understood Lin Yao's meaning: "You mean, sell them outside? That's no problem!"

"If it can be done, that's fine!" Lin Yao said decisively. "Go and tell the workers to come and start work. I'll send a cashier over tomorrow to settle all the back wages you owe!"

Hearing Lin Yao say this, Lu Jiayao was somewhat surprised: "Really?"

"What's the point of lying? Go find a few popular and stylish designer bags, clothes, and other designer items, and copy them. You don't need to worry about sales," Lin Yao said directly.

Judging from Lin Yao's demeanor, Lu Jiayao figured he wouldn't lie.

So he nodded and said, "No problem, boss!"

"Work hard, and if you do a good job, I'll give you a share of the profits!" Lin Yao said, patting Lu Jiayao on the shoulder.

This kid is quite honest, and since he's just a character in a story, Lin Yao feels much more at ease with him.

However, he did use his Eye of Detection to check Lu Jiayao's loyalty.

Ever since Lin Yao started generously paying salaries, this guy's loyalty has been steadily increasing, jumping from 50% to 70%.

With the source of goods sorted out, the next step is the sales channels.

However, Lin Yao was not worried about this at all. After all, these days, as long as Dafei landed in his hometown, whatever he sold would be sold out immediately.

After all, my hometown has started to develop a market economy, and people's demand for material life is becoming more and more important.

Those who dared to make their first fortune, in particular, have an unimaginable passion for luxury goods.

Therefore, Lin Yao was not worried about sales at all; he was only thinking about how to find someone to safely deliver the goods to his hometown.

If all else fails, I'll have to bleed a little and cooperate with Han Bin and the dinosaur.
