Hong Kong variety show: My handsome son, Kwan, is a master at making money in Hung Hing.

Qin Tai's next sentence came at just the right time: "Once Brother B sets up ten or eight tables at the teahouse, we can all sit down, have a few drinks, and let bygones be bygones! We're all江湖儿女 (jianghu children, people of the martial arts world), no pretense! We can make money together in the future!"

Jiang Tiansheng: "...

Damn, in the end, it still takes Big B to step in, and this guy is implying that Big B should show some 'sincerity'.

What use is my role as a middleman, a lobbyist for the top leader?

"No problem, I'll pass it on for you. I'm sure Big B would also like to see harmony among the brothers in the gang."

Jiang Tiansheng's forehead was covered in black lines. He thought to himself, "This little fox doesn't want to suffer any loss at all."

It seems that if Big B wants to invest, he'll have to suffer a huge loss.

"It's my time, it's my time!"

Han Bin waited and waited, and finally saw Jiang Tiansheng finish signing the contract. He immediately came over to make his presence known.

Before he could even open his mouth, Thirteen Sister cast a disdainful look at him: "Damn, you, Binny Tiger, make so much money from smuggling, how come you came to Atai's opening empty-handed? Did you just bring a few flower baskets?"

Han Bin's lips twitched. "You didn't come empty-handed either, did you?"

"Ahem... I was in a hurry to leave..." Han Bin explained, embarrassed. He didn't want to lose face in front of Thirteen Sister.

Qin Tai stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Brother Bin really helped me out. As agreed, Brother Bin took care of all the drinks in the Yau Ma Tei nightclubs, giving them to me at a drastically reduced cost price, while still guaranteeing the quality. Now, who in Yau Ma Tei doesn't know that I, Handsome Tai, am the top-notch drinker in the nightclubs, and my prices are absolutely top-notch?"

"That's right, this gift is more than enough!"

Han Bin regained his composure and straightened his back.

"Tch, you win!"

but...

Speaking of this, Han Bin felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. He was too naive back then, thinking that Qin Tai would at most be assigned to three or five large nightclubs after the boxing match, so he generously offered drinks at rock-bottom cost price.

But who would have thought that Qin Tai was so powerful, famous throughout the underworld, and became the boss of Yau Ma Tei, with all of Hong Tai's nightclubs under his control.

The entire port's worth of liquor was emptied from the warehouses before it even began to be sold.

My heart is bleeding!

But he couldn't stop the damage. First, he was a man of principle and didn't want to lose face in front of Thirteen Sister. Second, he wanted to befriend Qin Tai.

This lucky guy, since the betting agreement guarantees a 50% profit, how could he possibly lose money?

Therefore, Han Bin held his breath and directly signaled his subordinates to open the briefcase, revealing stacks of US dollars: "Here is twenty million US dollars, which is ninety-two million Hong Kong dollars. Put it all in!"

Wow, that's quite a move.

No wonder he's a nouveau riche who made his fortune through smuggling; he's rolling in money!

Jiang Tiansheng's eyelids twitched as he watched. With Liang Kun in front and Han Bin behind, their wealth was outrageous, making even the head of the gang lose face. His ten million yuan was not even worthy of being mentioned.

However, Jiang Tiansheng did not have the same domineering spirit as his younger brother, nor the courage to sell off valuable assets, real estate, and shops to make quick money investments.

Qin Tai readily accepted the offer, saying, "Brother Bin is awesome! You've made a fortune this time, so don't forget to bring your little brother to the Yau Ma Tei nightclub! The whole place is on Han Gongzi!"

Han Bin grinned from ear to ear: "It's nothing, it's nothing at all!"

About an hour later, Brother B arrived late with his henchmen, including Chicken, and presented a jade money tree, the kind inlaid with gold and silver, which was obviously very valuable and showed their sincerity.

With Jiang Tiansheng's mediation, after a lot of pointless nonsense, Big B successfully invested 20 million. Causeway Bay is a prime location, and Big B's wealth is naturally not bad either.

Qin Tai looked left and right, but couldn't see Chen Haonan.

"Oh, Hao Nan, he... he's having his wedding banquet at Tsz Wan Shan right now."

Big B's face turned green, and his lips twitched as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads, some with mockery, others in awe, gazing up at the unapproachable green hat on Brother B's head!

Qin Tai silently gave a thumbs up. Chen Haonan was truly clever. He specially chose an auspicious day and, taking advantage of the fact that the entire Hung Hing was focused on his side, he secretly held the wedding in a secluded restaurant in Tsz Wan Shan.

This would not only silence everyone but also prevent gloating fellow disciples from praising him, thus becoming the focus of ridicule.

Brilliant! No wonder he's the main character!

Speaking of Brother B, Jiang Tiansheng just called you, and you arrived with gifts in less than an hour. Are you trying to avoid an awkward tea ceremony and find some peace and quiet?

That won't do; the festive atmosphere must be properly arranged!

So Qin Tai took out a red envelope and sincerely wished, "Then I'll give you two hundred, wishing Hao Nan a son soon!"

Big B: "..."

Jiang Tiansheng: "..."

Thirteen Sister, Han Bin, and the Crown Prince: "..."

Damn it, you jerk, why did you have to bring up that sore subject!

"According to the latest stock market report, Jiawen Century's stock price has soared, hitting the daily limit of 32 yuan in a single day!"

"Shocking! Major good news! Huaye Bank's heir wants to purchase Jinshan Building for 1.68 billion!"

"From Garden Road to the mountaintop, the golden finger connects heaven and earth, why not get your hands on Jarvan Century?"

Just two days after Qin Tai's investment company opened, Cheng Yiyan had already begun his journey of turning lead into gold through speculation. As soon as major positive news was released, the entire stock market went into a frenzy, with countless investors rushing to buy, like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.

From news reports to stock market forums, from street newspapers to word of mouth, Jiawen Century has undoubtedly become the hottest stock in Hong Kong Island. Even ordinary citizens who never trade stocks have heard of this number one stock!

Chairman's Office, Daqin Times Investment Company.

Qin Tai leaned back comfortably on the leather sofa, holding an expensive Romanée-Conti in his hand, and watched the TV host's almost fanatical report with a smile.

"The four major securities firms have given it high praise, predicting that Jiawen Century's stock will break through forty yuan. Jiawen Group truly deserves its reputation as a dark horse of the century. Jiawen Group has also recently announced its intention to spend 1.2 billion yuan to acquire British Century Shipping, opening up new avenues for maritime trade..."

It exploded! It completely exploded!

Every minute and every second, the principal invested in the stock market is growing at an incredible speed, and at this moment, money seems to have truly become just numbers.

The frenzy of stock market investors is completely understandable; in terms of excitement, it's no less thrilling than the casinos in Lisboa.

To avoid disrupting the original plot, Qin Tai waited until the moment Jiawen Group released positive news before simultaneously launching his bottom-fishing campaign with all the funds he had prepared. The massive influx of funds was like a monstrous wave rising from a calm lake; once the dominoes started falling, they spread like wildfire and became unstoppable.

The number that would have taken a week to reach its daily limit in the original story was achieved in just half a day.

The soaring stock price has driven all investors crazy, with everyone eager to join this game of musical chairs. To date, the stock price has risen to 35 yuan.

The principal increased by a full 3.5 times before the momentum finally slowed down a bit.

In less than three days, Qin Tai's initial investment of 400 million US dollars, plus the investment company's profit share, skyrocketed to 2 billion US dollars. Moreover, as the stock price continued to soar, the value of this asset continued to rise!

Just as the magician said, stocks are now worth more than money!

Most of our wealth is tied up in the stock market these days, and we can't just sell off our holdings to get cash. Otherwise, it could easily lead to panic selling in the stock market, and it would be embarrassing if things went wrong.

However, now that Jiawen Century has become a top star in Hong Kong and is favored by the four major securities firms, both foreign and local businesses, it is entirely possible to use stocks as collateral for loans.

This way, there's no need to worry about not having enough cash on hand. Besides, whether it's dividends or wages, they can all be offset by stocks, which is even more convenient than Hong Kong dollars or US dollars. And what can you expect when Jiawen's stock is still rising?

Cheng Yiyan is doing just that now, printing stocks to offset whatever he buys, making a fortune.

In any case, when the stock market crashes in the end, you can just pack up and leave. After all, those few worthless pieces of paper are nothing to the bank, so they can just take them if they want.

It's perfectly legal and legitimate to take money out of other people's pockets without having to bear any subsequent responsibility!

Those in finance are ruthless; this is even more outrageous than robbery.

"You, Cheng Yiyan, are drinking soup in front, so it's okay for me to follow suit and eat the meat, right?"

Although Qin Tai had never met this future front man, he had already used his resources to turn him into a tool.

This is the advantage of knowing the plot. When the negative news about Jiawen stock came out a year later, he decisively shorted Jiawen Century and sucked the marrow of these foreign short sellers.

"Drip drip..."

Qin Tai's mobile phone rang, but after answering, no sound came from the other end.

He thought for a moment, then immediately laughed out loud: "Gao Jin, congratulations on your recovery. I've been waiting for this call for a long time."

"Mr. Qin, thank you for your timely help. I only have one question: why did you help me?"

As expected, it was Gao Jin on the other end of the phone. He remained silent for a long time before slowly asking, his voice somewhat hoarse, carrying the desolation of someone who had fallen from the clouds to the bottom.
