Chapter 398 Look at Your Ability
"But listen to my advice, don't even think about it."
"First of all, it's too ostentatious and unrealistic."
"Secondly, you can't afford this price."
Lin Zehao's words were like a bucket of cold water, directly extinguishing the fire that had just risen in Cai Guanlun's heart.
He chuckled twice and stopped talking, and the little thoughts in his mind disappeared without a trace.
Next, Chen Qili naturally agreed to this business.
As for Wang Yu, he was also pushed to the front to be in charge of this business.
After all, he was not stupid and knew that this kind of business still required an agent.
Taking advantage of the time when Lin Zehao was in Taiwan, Xin Ji tried to fight two games with Hutchison Whampoa. Although it was not a large-scale battle, both sides invested a total of more than 30,000 people.
Although they failed to take over Hutchison's territory after several games, they made Xinji realize that even though Lin Zehao was not in Hong Kong Island, Hutchison's aggressiveness had decreased, but in terms of pure defensive ability, it was still very strong.
Unless Sun Kee was truly prepared for war and carried out a large-scale mobilization, it would be impossible for them to enter Yau Tsim Mong.
Under this premise, the entire Hong Kong underworld was in a state of restlessness.
Seeing that Xinji and Heji, one of the four major societies, were preparing for a war, many people wanted to take advantage of the situation.
On the other hand, Lin Zehao cannot leave Taiwan for the time being, as many things have to be handled by him personally.
To this end, Chen Guoqiang made several phone calls and kept asking for instructions on how to handle Hong Kong affairs.
"Brother Hao, there is one more thing I need to ask you about."
Chen Guoqiang sat upright, and although he was on the phone, he still didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
The younger brother also stood upright beside him, looking very serious, no longer as carefree as usual.
"You said."
Lin Zehao, who was in Taiwan, was lying on the bed with his brother's phone in his hand, while Wang Zuxian was massaging his shoulders from behind. Her movements were extremely gentle, yet just right.
"Brother Hao, I recently heard from Brother Ji that many people in Hongxing are unwilling to give up and have secretly contacted Jiang Tianyang to support him to start a new organization and carry the banner of Hongxing again."
"However, Jiang Tianyang wisely refused. Besides, he was in Thailand and many things were out of reach for him, so those people did not hold on to him."
"But this group of people still haven't given up, and are still secretly contacting the famous big brother of Hongxing. Unfortunately, no one has responded yet."
Only at this time did Chen Guoqiang finally understand how clever Brother Hao's method was in transferring Jiang Tianyang to Thailand to be in charge of the arms business.
Otherwise, something strange might happen now.
Lin Zehao's expression remained calm. Not only was he not surprised at all, but he even smiled. "From now on, just turn a blind eye. Let them do whatever they want. I will secretly have Apeng and the others keep an eye on them. When the opportunity is right, I will notify you to close the net."
Originally, when he came to Taiwan this time, some people inside had begun to get restless. It just so happened that at this time the remnants of the Hongxing gang began to make trouble. This was a godsend opportunity. If he couldn't seize it, wouldn't it be a waste of God's gift?
Chen Guoqiang said in a firm tone, "I understand, Brother Hao. I will definitely carry out your instructions."
After finishing their business, the two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Seeing the call was hung up, the younger brother beside him breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and asked in confusion: "Brother Qiang, aren't you and Brother Hao sworn brothers? At the Hutchison Ceremony, the brothers all saw it clearly!"
"Everyone in the martial arts world envies your brotherhood, and they admire your behavior of not forgetting your friends even though you have become rich and powerful after taking the top position."
"But, when I saw you talking to Brother Hao on the phone just now, you seemed too serious, weren't you?"
In his opinion, sworn brothers should just be happy and cheerful with each other, and there should be no need to distinguish so clearly between superiors and subordinates.
Otherwise, wouldn't this sworn brotherhood be in vain?
Chen Guoqiang glanced at him, took the handgrip and started to squeeze it with a normal expression, "What do you want to do? Are you qualified to comment on the relationship between me and Brother Hao?"
"Just do your job well and stop thinking about things that have nothing to do with you all day long, flop!"
"What are you still standing here for? Are you waiting for me to treat you to a meal?"
The younger brother was scolded so badly that he lowered his head and walked out of the door in shame.
At this time, Chen Guoqiang put down the handgrip, picked up his brother's phone, dialed a number, and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on Ah Zhen and see who he has been in contact with recently."
As the society becomes larger, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of people.
With Chen Guoqiang's current status, he doesn't need to care too much about other people's opinions. He just needs to ensure his absolute loyalty to Brother Hao. Given their previous friendship, this life will be fine.
He understands this.
……
After Lin Zehao hung up the phone, Wang Zuxian very sensibly took the phone and put it on the dock nearby to charge.
"Brother Hao, I have something I want to discuss with you."
As she spoke, Wang Zuxian's slender hands began to massage his shoulders again.
Lin Zehao closed his eyes in enjoyment and said, "Go ahead. Given the relationship between you and me, there's no need to be so polite."
Hearing this, Wang Zuxian smiled happily and said softly, "My father has been sitting at home with nothing to do since he retired from the basketball team. I don't know what he has been thinking of doing business with recently."
"We are all laymen when it comes to business and have no idea where to start, so we came to ask for your opinion."
Lin Zehao thought for a moment and said, "Bring your uncle to the interview some other day. It's a good thing that you want to make money. I will help you."
With his shrewdness, he naturally knew what Wang Zuxian was thinking, but he didn't mind.
Since you have slept with someone, you have to be responsible for them. This is only natural.
What's more, for Lin Zehao now, it is too easy to make someone make money.
To put it bluntly, with so many companies and so many employees under him, the lunch boxes he consumes every day are enough to make him a millionaire.
However, due to the relationship between him and Joey Wong, he had to find a respectable enough business for her father.
Otherwise, others would not only laugh at Wang Zuxian, but also at Lin Zehao. While Lin Zehao and Wang Zuxian were being affectionate, the atmosphere in a hospital in Taiwan was completely different.
Lin Minde was half lying on the hospital bed, looking at his bare thumb with an extremely ugly expression.
At this moment, his psychological pain far outweighs the physical pain.
"He Ji, Yang Chengrong, I will remember you!"
It was agreed upon that two fingers would be used, but Yang Chengrong unexpectedly chose two thumbs. Compared with other fingers, thumbs have the highest level of disability.
Yang Chengrong didn't want him to live well at all. Even if he saved his life, he would turn him into a disabled person!
From then on, Lin Minde's two hands could not only not hold a gun or a knife, but even using chopsticks to eat became an extremely difficult task.
"Minde, as the saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You're lucky to be alive this time."
"Let's talk about the future later. As the saying goes, flowers don't stay in bloom forever, and people don't stay good forever. Wei Longhao can't be so powerful forever, and he can't always suppress our Tiandao League!"
"For the mistake he made today, we will make him pay for it a thousand times sooner or later!"
Luo Fuzhu was wearing casual clothes and a baseball cap, but his words were not as low-key as his attire.
As he spoke, he signaled with his eyes to his younger brother beside him to take out the prepared things.
Upon seeing this, the younger brother immediately handed the package in his hand to Lin Minde who was lying on the hospital bed.
Luo Fuzhu introduced: "Minde, this is a pair of gloves I specially asked someone to make for you. After you put them on, others will definitely not be able to see the abnormality of your thumb."
Lin Minde opened the package and saw a pair of black leather gloves. The material looked very good. Unlike regular gloves, the thumb was solid, which just made up for his shortcomings.
However, when he saw the gloves, he did not show any joy, but instead looked a little gloomy, "Thank you for contacting me."
After a cold thank you, a strong hatred emerged in Lin Minde's eyes.
To him, Hutchison and Yangchengrong are his sworn enemies, and Luo Fuzhu is also the culprit who absolutely cannot escape the blame!
If Luo Fuzhu had been more tough at the beginning, would the result be different now?
Not only did he become a disabled person, but the wealth he had worked hard to build up for most of his life was also gone in one day, leaving him penniless and homeless!
Even if I'm still alive now, what's the difference between this and being dead?
Therefore, Lin Minde hated Yang Chengrong and also hated Luo Fuzhu!
"Minde, don't worry about your life. Leave the cost of the surgery to me. Just focus on your recovery."
"Also, here's NT$200,000. Spend it first. If it's not enough, just tell me."
After Luo Fuzhu finished speaking, his younger brother took a few steps forward and handed Lin Minde a briefcase. He unzipped it and found bundles of banknotes inside.
Seeing this scene, Lin Minde's expression became a little better and he said, "Thank you for contacting me."
Although he hated Luo Fuzhu, he didn't dare to turn against him now. Otherwise, with his disabled status, it would be a miracle for him not to starve to death, let alone take revenge.
Not to mention, if there was no Tiandao League to protect him, those enemies he had offended before would have been considered kind-hearted to have allowed him to survive for more than a month!
After doing all this, Luo Fuzhu immediately stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Minde.
"General Liaison, let me speak my mind to you. If I don't take revenge, I have been in the martial arts world for so many years in vain. I want to take revenge. Will the alliance support me?"
Lin Minde spoke word by word, his tone full of hatred, his eyes were red and somewhat creepy, with bloodshot veins in them.
Luo Fuzhu stopped walking, sat back down, took off his cap, sighed, and said earnestly: "Minde, we have known each other for many years. You should know what kind of person I am very well."
"If I could fight, would I have waited until today? I would have sent someone to kill Yang Chengrong long ago!"
"You saw what happened that day. When I heard that you were in trouble, I immediately called everyone to come over to support you. What happened? Including me, there were only three companies that responded."
"Yang Dengkui was the closest to me at the time, but he was not only indifferent, he didn't even call me!"
Luo Fuzhu pretended to be heartbroken and said in a heavy tone: "This is a treasure island. Not only me, who would be willing to be suppressed by an outside society?"
"But Wei Longhao is too powerful. According to reliable information, he has mobilized a lot of people to the island this time. Under such circumstances, how can the Tiandao League, which is not united, fight him?"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Minde still found it hard to accept the answer when he heard it.
"Don't be discouraged. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. You should rest and recover first. Sooner or later, you will have the chance to avenge yourself."
Luo Fuzhu said a few more words of comfort before leaving with his men.
Only the gloomy Lin Minde was left, staring at the empty thumbs of his hands, feeling his temples twitching.
……
The next day, Taipei, at the entrance of a private club.
Feiji was sitting in an inconspicuous family car, eating the fried dough sticks and soy milk bought by his younger brother.
"Brother Feiji, you said these two groups got together so early in the morning, what on earth do they want to discuss?"
The guy sitting in the passenger seat stuffed half a fried dough stick into his mouth and talked while chewing.
Feiji took two sips of soy milk and said, "You ask me, who should I ask?"
"However, I know that these people must be up to no good when they get together. When officials meet with these gang members and say that they are seeking benefits for the citizens, do you believe it?"
The younger brother shook his head.
"What about you? Do you believe it?" Feiji asked again.
The guy in the driver's seat also shook his head and said, "I don't believe it either."
"These days, none of the officials are good people. I used to farm in my hometown. My family and I worked hard all year round, but the money we earned was barely enough to pay for fertilizers, not to mention labor costs!"
"But after the grain was resold by these middlemen, the price doubled, and they even called it "low grain prices hurting farmers". I haven't seen them give us a penny more when they buy the grain!"
The younger brother said this indignantly, obviously holding back a lot of anger.
Given all the facts, he doesn't have the slightest good impression of these classes at all.
"Look at what you have accomplished. All you do all day is farm, farm, and in the end you still have to farm."
"I heard that you made a lot of money last month and even planned to bring your parents to Hong Kong Island. You are really promising."
Feiji ate the fried dough sticks in just a few bites, wiping the oil stains on his hands while making jokes.
