Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

At night, Liu Xu picked up his mobile phone and made a call.

At this time, Wu Jianbei and others who were hiding in a small fishing village in the northeast of Hong Kong Island were discussing whether they should escape directly back to the mainland or continue to make a fortune.

Wu Jianbei sat at a shabby wooden table, supporting his head with his hands, listening to other people's opinions with a tired face.

Suddenly, he felt a slight ringing sound coming from the cell phone in his arms. He subconsciously took it out and slowly moved the phone in front of him.

Seeing the incoming call reminder on the screen, he was slightly stunned. His finger stopped on the answer button and remained silent. At this moment, his heart was full of contradictions and uneasiness, not knowing whether he should answer the call.

At this time, Wang Tao, who was discussing enthusiastically with the other two people, noticed that his boss was staring at his phone in a daze, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

He patted Wu Jianbei's shoulder gently and said, "Brother Bei, what's so good about this phone? Come over here and discuss our next move!"

Wu Jianbei was brought back to reality by Wang Tao's words. He took a deep breath and looked up at the three people. After a moment of silence, he said softly: "It should be the call from the gardener..."

Hearing this, the three people who were still discussing enthusiastically stopped talking instantly, with surprised expressions on their faces. They immediately stood up and quickly moved towards Wu Jianbei.

The three of them had all seen Liu Xu's note, so they naturally knew that the gardener was referring to the person who had delivered the message to their gang early this morning!

At this time, Huang Mao took over and said, "I said that the other party would definitely contact us today."

When Wu Jianbei heard Huang Mao's teasing words, he sighed that he must have thought too much. After all, if the other party hadn't informed them, their group might have been arrested by the police.

He asked Huangmao to be quiet and immediately pressed the answer button.

At the same time, Liu Xu on the other side heard the ringing tone that had lasted for more than half a minute suddenly stop. He knew that the other party had answered his call.

Without any nonsense, Liu Xu lowered his voice and said, "I am the gardener. I believe you have already confirmed the authenticity of the news."

Although this sentence was full of doubt, Liu Xu's tone was full of confidence, as if he had already confirmed that the other party had verified the authenticity of the information he provided. After all, if they didn't believe the news, they wouldn't answer the call.

On the other side, Wu Jianbei heard the voice in the microphone, and there was not much surprise on his face.

He calmly replied: "Yes, we have confirmed it. This morning, many unfamiliar faces did appear around our base. However, we cannot confirm whether these people are really the police."

Hearing Wu Jianbei's answer, Liu Xu smiled slightly, looking very relaxed. He said calmly, "Haha, actually it's just that it's not convenient for you to confirm, it's not completely impossible to confirm."

"Besides, I think you already have the answer in your mind, right?"

"This is a life-saving favor. If you want to use words to reduce the weight of this favor in your heart, I have no objection."

After hearing what the other party said, Wu Jianbei was silent for a while, and then said: "Although I am a rough man, I know how to repay a favor. We owe you a life."

"I'm not someone who would repay a favor." Liu Xu's lips curled up slightly. He knew that his plan was halfway successful. He continued, "I saved you this time only because I have a bold plan, but I lack professional people to execute it."

Hearing what the other party said, Wu Jianbei instantly understood what the other party meant and immediately followed up, "You want us to execute it?"

After a pause, Wu Jianbei continued: "If possible, I would like to hear your general plan first."

"As long as it's not too dangerous, I can promise you on my own behalf." Liu Xu was certain in his heart that it was safe.

"I know your situation. In 1980, you robbed a jewelry store in Central and got shot while escaping. You made more than 700,000 yuan. This time you robbed a money transport truck, but all the money was Japanese yen. Not only did you get nothing, but you also lost a companion."

Wu Jianbei's face darkened, and he interrupted Liu Xu, saying unhappily: "If you are saying this to show off to me that you are well-informed, then congratulations, you have achieved your goal."

"I won't do such a meaningless thing. Mr. Wu, don't be angry yet. Just listen to what I have to say."

He first comforted the other party, and then said: "I brought up the old things you did because I want to tell you that the two businesses you did have high risks and little profit."

First, jewelry stores; although the items in the store are valuable, they are small in size. It is difficult to carry a large amount of stolen goods, and they are easy to be identified and tracked, making them difficult to sell, and the recipient may also lower the price!

Then there are the money transporters, which are usually equipped with armed escorts. They are professionally trained and carry weapons, so it is easy for a gunfight to occur during the robbery. Not only is it very dangerous, but it will also attract a lot of police resources to investigate.

We should not be complacent, but be good at discovery and innovation. And now, I have discovered a new world - kidnapping! Liu Xu's tone was so excited that he even trembled a little, and his excitement was beyond words!

Hearing this, Mr. Wu's eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "Kidnapping? Are you kidding?"

In Wu Jianbei's impression, kidnapping is not only troublesome, but also not much money can be extorted.

Liu Xu smiled and said with certainty: "Yes, it is kidnapping."

"As long as we plan properly and do it cleanly and efficiently, I guarantee that we can get at least 100 million in ransom. In US dollars!" Liu Xu specially emphasized the last sentence.

Then he said: "In addition, I can assure you that there will be no police involvement."

Wu Jianbei was not overwhelmed by the figure of 100 million US dollars. Looking at the three people beside him with fiery eyes, he asked with a hint of doubt: "How can Mr. Gardener be sure that the police will not intervene in the huge extortion of 100 million US dollars?"

"Mr. Wu, you must have heard of the name of Hong Kong Island Superman, right?"

"He is the first entrepreneur to complete a Chinese acquisition of a British company, and the first Chinese to take over a British company. Of course, I have heard of his name."

"You're not trying to kidnap him?" Wu Jianbei asked in shock.

"Of course not. If we kidnap him, who will pay us?" Liu Xu would naturally not do such a stupid thing.

"I want you to kidnap his two sons."

I have investigated. His eldest son is 19 years old and studies at the University of Hong Kong. He goes home every Friday. His youngest son is a first-year student at Edinburgh School. "There are no more than three bodyguards around him!

"I will give you a map at that time. After school on Friday, you will tie up the person and take him to Fanling. When it gets dark, you will take them through the border according to the map I gave you, and you will be completely safe."

Wu Jianbei was silent. Robbing a jewelry store or a money truck was indeed risky, and the money was not as much as he had imagined. But he was a little hesitant to kidnap someone else's son.

Hearing no sound from the other end of the microphone, Liu Xu knew that this was because the good intentions in the other person's heart had not been completely extinguished.

He advised: "We are just kidnapping, I don't need you to kill him. After this superman pays, you can just release him."

"Let's cooperate. You only need to be responsible for kidnapping and releasing people and collecting money. You can leave the subsequent rice washing to me. If you find someone to wash the rice, you have to pay at least 70% commission. If I find someone to wash the rice, I only need 60% commission."

"I'll come up with the plan and finish it off, and considering the favor of saving your life, we'll split the profits 50-50, and each of you can get at least 30 million clean Hong Kong dollars."
