Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

In Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong Island, news came back that day that Yang Li had successfully notified Zhang Zihao to return to Hong Kong.

Liu Xu immediately called Tian Yangyi and informed him that he only needed to do surveillance and that he should wait for a while before taking action.

When Li Ju, the eldest prince of the Yangtze River Group, saw that Liu Xu no longer called him or sent people to his place, he instantly felt that he was being provoked by the gangsters.

So, at dinner time, he made an appointment with the two directors of the Fire Department and the Health Department to have dinner together, and vaguely mentioned the matter of Dongsheng Brewery.

The two directors were both smart people. When they saw two checks suddenly appear on the table, they accepted them calmly and immediately promised to work harder on the inspection.

Li Ju listened to the two people's assurances, his face was calm, but he was very proud in his heart.

He thought to himself, "Let's check it out. It would be best if we could do a daily inspection so that Liu Xu's brewery can't operate. That way, I can swoop in and take the initiative to negotiate with him."

Liu Xu had learned about the sudden increase in inspection efforts by the Fire Department and the Health Department through a call from Qian Lin.

This immediately reminded him of what Tian Yangyi had reported to him, that Li Ju had made an appointment with the directors of the Fire Department and the Health Department to have dinner last night.

Liu Xu didn't know that Li Ju was trying to dampen his spirit and increase his bargaining chips. Otherwise, he would have definitely hit Li Ju in the face with the sole of his size 42 shoe.

However, there was no need to know anymore because he received a call from Zhang Zihao returning to Hong Kong.

……

In Sham Shui Po, after returning to Hong Kong, he first patrolled around the rental house for a while to confirm that there was no one following him around, and then he returned to the house with his brothers.

"Brother Hao, should I go out and contact the supplier now, or should I go later?" Ji Xiong asked Zhang Zihao expectantly.

The guy they hid in the New Territories had been taken out and was now hiding in two black vans in batches, guarded by Liang Hui, Xu Zhihua and Liu Pingshan.

In response to Ji Xiong's question, Zhang Zihao pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

"Not yet. Those two dealers were too ruthless in the past. They were only willing to give us 30% of the profits. It's not enough for us brothers to spend. Let's wait and see later."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the rental house.

When he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and sternly told everyone to wait for him in the rental house until he came back, then he slammed the door shut.

Zhang Zihao walked on the narrow and noisy streets of Sham Shui Po. It was late at night, but the streets were still brightly lit and bustling with people.

Crossing Boundary Street and entering Mong Kok, as you move towards the south, the prosperity and modernity of Hong Kong Island become more apparent.

He walked along Nathan Road to the Yau Ma Tei subway entrance, turned onto Water Road, and stopped at the foot of a building whose top could not be seen in the night.

Looking up, the four big words "Dongsheng Building" above my head looked particularly dazzling in the night.

In the leisure area of Dongsheng Building, Liu Xu had already made tea. Seeing Zhang Zihao walking in behind Bo Zai, he shook hands with the other party with a smile.

When both parties sat down, Liu Xu said meaningfully, "I'm very happy that you were able to rush back to Hong Kong Island so quickly and come to see me so quickly!"

Zhang Zihao forced a stiff smile. "Mr. Liu is paying so much attention to me. Is there something he wants me to do?"

"Brother Hao, you are indeed a smart man!" Liu Xu gave him a thumbs up with one hand, turned the "mobile phone" in his hand with the other hand, and praised him.

"Recently, a very wealthy loser has been giving me trouble. I don't know the specific reason. Of course, I don't care about it now."

"Mr. Liu," Zhang Zihao wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and spoke in a trembling voice.

"I'm just doing some small business and making a little money. I don't think I can do this kind of kidnapping and murder! And the other party is very rich..."

"One hundred million! US dollars! Your team will take 20 million US dollars, and the remaining 80 million US dollars will belong to me." Liu Xu stretched out a finger, his tone unquestionable.

"If you agree, I'll personally find someone to help you dispose of the stuff in your van. I'll only charge you 50%, which is 20% more than what you usually pay!"

Zhang Zihao's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but calculate the benefits in his mind: he had calculated the value of the goods before hiding them, and the total value was about 40 million.

If it is sold at 50% of the price, it will be HK$20 million, and if he takes half of it, it will be HK$10 million.

Even if he could only get 20% of the 100 million US dollars, it would still far exceed the total income of any of their previous operations.

Twenty million US dollars is approximately equal to one hundred and sixty million Hong Kong dollars. If he divides it in half, it will be eighty million Hong Kong dollars, which adds up to ninety million Hong Kong dollars!

With so much money, maybe he could use it to get out of jail and switch to a legitimate business. After all, although Hong Kong Island does not have the death penalty, it does have a life sentence.

Zhang Zihao swallowed hard and asked calmly, "Mr. Liu, who exactly is this person you're talking about?"

"We have to know who the target is before we can assess whether we can take on this job, right?"

Liu Xu smiled slightly. The other party's question was an indirect agreement to take the job.

"It's the prince of the Changjiang Group," he said, his eyes filled with a cold look. "I've already investigated his movements. We just need a team to take action."

"That's why I asked Ali to pass the message to you. By the way," Liu Xu seemed to remember something and changed the subject: "Didn't Ali go back to Hong Kong Island with you?"

Seeing the confusion in Zhang Zihao's eyes, Liu Xu immediately waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter if he didn't come back. He's such a big man, we can't lose him."

Then he brought the topic back to the prince of the Changjiang Group, "Just like the incident at Kimberley Road, I'll come up with the action plan, and you'll be responsible for executing it and hiding the people. Don't kill them!"

When Zhang Zihao heard that there was no need to use the word "kill the hostage", he let out a deep breath.

However, he did not respond immediately. Instead, he slowly savored the tea in his hand. For a moment, the only sound in the leisure area was the sound of sipping water.

As the tea in Zhang Zihao's cup gradually ran out, he finally responded when the cup was placed on the tea table with a "pop" sound:

"Mr. Liu, since you trust me so much, I'll take this job. However, the specific time of action and the location of the hostage hiding will be decided by me!"

"No problem!" Liu Xu agreed immediately. Knowing that he had control over the timing of the action and the location of the hostages showed that Zhang Zihao wasn't blinded by profit.

Only by cooperating with people who can always keep things clear can the plan proceed smoothly. Of course, even if it doesn't go smoothly, the other party will know what to say and what not to say.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhang Zihao always comes to Dongsheng Building alone whenever confidential matters are involved. This shows that he is very cautious and is someone who can do big things.

Afterwards, the two had an in-depth discussion on the specific details of the operation, including disguised identities, retreat routes, and how to deal with emergencies.

In order to arouse Zhang Zihao's enthusiasm, Liu Xu took the initiative to offer to take over the batch of goods in his hands first. Zhang Zihao excitedly shook hands with him and thanked him.

When Bo Zai took out 20 million Hong Kong dollars from the office and piled them in front of Zhang Zihao, Zhang Zihao almost knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Xu on the spot.

As the moon crossed the meridian, Liu Xu and Zhang Zihao shook hands and said goodbye. Liu Xu's eyes revealed anticipation, while Zhang Zihao's eyes revealed determination.

In Sham Shui Po, as there was a sudden knock on the glass window of a black van, Liang Hui, Xu Zhihua and others quickly sat up and looked out the window with sharp eyes.
