Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

The mercenary responded in a deep voice, ran back to lead the rest of the people, and started cleaning up the battlefield.

Although Barut's gang didn't have any good stuff, the only valuable armored vehicle was blown up by a mine and then had a hole in it.

But so many bodies cannot be left here. If they are stolen by someone with ulterior motives, it will be troublesome.

For example, or, I like to do this kind of thing the most.

While cleaning the battlefield, Wang Jianjun took out his phone and dialed Huo Jingliang's number.

beep.

The call was answered quickly.

"Mr. Huo, it's me, Wang Jianjun."

Huo Jingliang laughed at the other end of the phone and said in a very good manner, "Jianjun, how is the matter going?"

This was not the first time Huo Jingliang and Wang Jianjun had communicated. The two had communicated many times before about the issue of Barut and were familiar with each other.

Moreover, before the action, Wang Jianjun specifically notified Huo Jingliang, and now he was reporting the good news to the latter.

"Everything went smoothly. The mines purchased by Mr. Huo played a big role. Barut and his men were completely wiped out."

Wang Jianjun briefly explained the situation.

His voice was flat. It was just a matter of taking care of a balut. There was nothing to brag about.

But Huo Jingliang was different. To him, Barut was just an annoying piece of taffy. Ever since the gold mine was discovered, he had been coming to bother him.

But he couldn't deal with Barut, which made Huo Jingliang angry for a while.

Fortunately, everything has become a thing of the past with Wang Jianjun's words.

"Well, Jianjun, you did a good job. The damned black guy is finally dead."

Huo Jingliang laughed loudly and seemed very happy.

"Mr. Huo, now that Barut is gone, I think we can focus on developing the gold mine, right?"

Wang Jianjun asked, he also knew that the gold mine was now being developed jointly by Sheng Jiale and Huo Jingliang.

"Yes, the next part is the highlight."

Huo Jingliang nodded. Before, due to the existence of Barut, he would come to cause trouble every now and then, but it was not always a fight. Most of the time, he just sent people to take a look.

But it was also disgusting. After all, the workers in the gold mine were afraid of death. With soldiers hanging around them, how could they concentrate on their work?

Therefore, the progress of gold mining is very slow, and there has been no progress until now.

Fortunately, Barut has been dealt with, and we can concentrate on mining from now on.

"But there are so many warlords here. Without Barut, will other forces come to disrupt the situation?"

Huo Jingliang suddenly thought of this and said worriedly.

"Don't worry about that, Mr. Huo. I will send a team to the mine to take charge of security work. There will be no problems with storage."

Wang Jianjun agreed without hesitation.

Providing protection for the mine is to safeguard the interests of Shengjiale, and Wang Jianjun naturally knows what to do.

"Just hearing your words is enough. It turns out that Sheng Jiale was right to send you here." Huo Jingliang was very satisfied.

After this period of contact and today's annihilation of Barut, he was quite impressed with Wang Jianjun's abilities and had more appreciation for them.

At the same time, he was a little envious. Sheng Jiale had a lot of capable people under his command. He could easily get rid of the local warlord by just picking any one of them.

Although Barut was a small warlord who was not presentable, he still caused Huo Jingliang a headache for a long time.

After chatting about some security matters, Huo Jingliang hung up the phone.

"The gold mine was saved, thanks to Sheng Jiale's help."

Huo Jingliang sat in the boss chair, drinking red wine and talking to himself.

After thinking about it, he picked up the phone again and called Sheng Jiale.

After the situation stabilized, the gold mine would officially start operation. Huo Jingliang felt that he had to thank Sheng Jiale in person.

"Shengsheng, have you heard about what happened in Nizhou?"

Huo Jingliang didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I have listened to Jianguo's report."

Sheng Jiale said calmly.

When Wang Jianjun called Huo Jingliang, Wang Jianguo was not idle either. He reported the situation to Sheng Jiale in detail.

After all, Sheng Jiale is the one they are loyal to.

Huo Jingliang laughed, "Then I won't say anything. Do you have time now? Let's go out and have some fun together."

"Okay, why don't we meet at the horse racing club? I haven't bet on horses for a long time, so it's a good opportunity to play a few rounds."

Sheng Jiale suggested.

He also planned to meet and talk with Huo Jingliang.

"Okay, let's meet at the royal horse racing meeting." Huo Jingliang agreed immediately.

Royal Jockey Club.

VIP box.

Sheng Jiale and Huo Jingliang sat on the soft and wide sofa, each holding a glass of red wine in one hand and a cigar in the other.

Huo Jingliang glanced outside at the horses galloping in the field and said, "Shengsheng, your men are very efficient. Now that the warlord Barut is dead, the gold mine has been saved and can be developed."

"As long as everything goes well."

Sheng Jiale raised his glass and clinked it with Huo Jingliang.

Sheng Jiale was not at all surprised by this result.

He knew very well what the strength of the Wang Jianjun brothers was, especially since they had been given so much time to train the mercenaries. If they couldn't take down a small Barut, the two of them might as well just kill themselves.

"I wonder how Shengsheng plans to use this gold mine?" Huo Jingliang asked casually.

Generally speaking, selling the mined gold is the easiest and most worry-free option.

After all, gold is hard currency and can be quickly traded anywhere.

However, in this case, the price will naturally be much lower and it will not be possible to earn the maximum profit.

"You and I are not short of money, so let's just sell the gold."

Sheng Jiale took a puff of his cigar, exhaled a large cloud of smoke, and continued: "My suggestion is that we should establish an industrial chain, and after the gold is refined, it can be processed into jewelry for sale."

Sheng Jiale remembers clearly that around the 1990s, the gold market experienced a fluctuation, especially the high-end jewelry market, where prices once soared.

"A dragon?"

Huo Jingliang thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea."

From raw materials to finished products, everything is taken care of, so as to earn maximum profit.

The only disadvantage is that a large amount of capital needs to be invested in the early stage, and it takes time to recover. If the capital reserve is not sufficient, it will easily collapse due to a break in the capital chain.

Of course, there is no need to worry about any problems with gold. At worst, you can just resell it. There are countless people who want it.

This is the advantage of hard currency. Owning a gold mine can be said to be a sure win.

Moreover, both Huo Jingliang and Sheng Jiale have plenty of funds and are not worried about investment issues at all.

"We can now set up a large gold shop in the city center of Hong Kong Island as a pilot. If the effect is good, we can expand to the mainland, Taiwan, Thailand and other surrounding areas in the future."

Sheng Jiale spoke eloquently and presented a blueprint.

“The prospects are good.”

Huo Jingliang said with a smile, agreeing with Sheng Jiale's point of view, "By the way, let's give the gold shop a name first, Jingbai Gold Shop, how about it?"

Huo Jingliang's words undoubtedly meant that he was going to finalize the project.

However, when he heard this name, Sheng Jiale shook his head slightly. The two of them already had quite a few businesses called "Jingbai".

"I think it's better to call it Fengxiang Gold Shop."

Sheng Jiale thought about it, combined the names of the gold shops in his memory, and gave it a standard name.

"Feng Xiang? Not bad, it fits the positioning of the gold shop very well."

Huo Jingliang nodded and did not refuse.

"Then it's settled."

Sheng Jiale raised his glass again, "Cheers, and we wish you a smooth cooperation."

"cheers."

Huo Jingliang and Sheng Jiale clinked their glasses, drank the wine in their glasses, and then smiled at each other.

Given their respective identities, there is naturally no need to discuss the rest of the details. As long as the general direction is determined, there will naturally be dedicated secretaries to take charge of the specific matters.

"Horse number three came out on top, a full length ahead of the second place."

At this time, the Marseille outside had ended, and the commentator's excited voice sounded over the loudspeaker.

The audience became noisy, with some sighing and some excited.

Huo Jingliang took out the lottery ticket he had bought, looked at the numbers on it, and shook his head helplessly, "What a pity, the number 8 I was optimistic about did not perform well today. Shengsheng, which number did you buy?"

Sheng Jiale shook the lottery ticket in his hand and smiled happily.

"Number three."

"Build an army."

In the office, after returning from the Royal Jockey Club, Sheng Jiale called Wang Jianjun who was far away in Nizhou.

“Next, I need you to continue to expand the staff and train more mercenaries.

To occupy more resources in Nigeria."

Sheng Jiale said slowly.

Killing Barut is nothing, he is just a small warlord and not worth mentioning.

What Sheng Jiale is worried about is that as the gold mine is officially mined, the news will definitely spread farther and farther.

Unfortunately, Nizhou lacks everything except warlords. By then, there will probably be many short-sighted people who will set their eyes on the gold mines and want to take them for themselves.

Without strong military force, don't even think about living a peaceful life.

Wang Jianjun now has a lot of mercenaries, but they can only deal with small warlords like Barut. If he is unlucky and encounters a big warlord with thousands of people coming to kill him, there will be nothing he can do.

Therefore, in order to avoid all accidents, the best way is to expand the army.

Train more mercenaries and turn the area near the gold mine into an impregnable fortress, and you can rest easy.

"Boss, training is not a problem. We have enough soldiers here, but we don't have enough funds. I have already bought all kinds of firearms with what you gave me last time."

Wang Jianjun replied.

Expanding the army is not a problem. As long as the money is in place, he can quickly recruit a group of qualified mercenaries according to Sheng Jiale's wishes.

In this regard, Wang Jianjun is professional.

"Don't worry about the funds. I will ask Dasha to transfer 1 billion yuan to you later. It should be enough to establish a mercenary corps, right?" Sheng Jiale said casually.

With his current wealth, 1 billion is basically nothing.

Moreover, the purpose is to maintain the gold mine and expand our strength, so this initial investment is justified.

"Don't worry, boss. I promise to expand our military strength as quickly as possible."

When Wang Jianjun heard that there would be 1 billion yuan in funding, he immediately became excited, and a blueprint of a large-scale military camp emerged in his mind.

There are also a large number of firearms and military vehicles.

Before, due to limited funds, he could only watch but not buy. But now it is different. One billion is enough for him to spend lavishly.

As long as you don't get carried away and buy active tanks, armed helicopters and the like, everything else is more than enough.

"Very good. With your words, I feel relieved."

Sheng Jiale believed in Wang Jianjun's ability, so he handed the gold mine over to the latter so that he would no longer have to worry about anything.

After that, Sheng Jiale explained some trivial matters, chatted for a few words and then hung up the phone.

He leaned comfortably in his boss chair, feeling the support the chair gave to his back.

"It is estimated that Nizhou will not be at peace for some time."

Wang Jianjun is a tiger, and providing sufficient funds is like letting the tiger out of the cage.

In the area of ​​Nizhou, Sheng Jiale guessed that it would not be long before Wang Jianjun would be able to give a surprise to other warlords, big and small.

dong dong dong.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

The door opened, Tony walked in from outside, and said respectfully to Sheng Jiale, "Boss."

"What is it?"

"The things you asked me to do earlier have been done."

Sheng Jiale thought about it for a moment and understood what Tony was referring to.

Some time ago, he raided the lair of the Eight-Faced Buddha, found a large amount of treasures, and secretly transported them back by sea.

After that, it was handed over to Tony, who was responsible for converting the antiques, jewelry and other items into cash.

Sheng Jiale had no interest in appreciating these things. He only kept a few pieces of jewellery as gifts and sold the rest.

"The efficiency is quite fast."

Sheng Jiale laughed and asked, "How much did it sell for in total?"

“Because the goods were shipped quickly and in such large quantities, the final transaction price was much lower than the market price.

But even so, the funds obtained are a full 12.5 billion."

Tony said excitedly, his face full of excitement.

He initially advised Sheng Jiale that such a large-scale one-time sale would inevitably lead to a drop in prices, and it would be better to take it slow and steady.

However, Sheng Jiale insisted on taking action, so Tony had no choice but to do so.

Even so, after all the funds were recovered, he was still shocked by the number.

One hundred and twenty-five billion.

Even if calculated in some special currency unit, it is as much as 78 tons.

Before pledging allegiance to Sheng Jiale, Tony had never seen so much money in his life, and couldn't even imagine what it would look like to have so many banknotes piled together.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is enough for laying the floor.

"One hundred and twenty-five billion? Not bad. The death of that old man, the Eight-Faced Buddha, was not in vain."

Sheng Jiale was not very surprised. After all, he had roughly estimated the value of the treasure when he saw it.

The money he has received now is actually less than what Sheng Jiale had initially estimated.

"Was there any mistake in the process?" Sheng Jiale asked worriedly.

The amount of money is not a big deal. What Sheng Jiale cares most about is whether the money is safe enough.

It would be bad if a batch of problematic funds were collected.

"Boss, don't worry. All the funds have been laundered. There won't be any problems."

Tony said solemnly.

"That's good."

Sheng Jiale thought of Tony's serious work and felt relieved. "Transfer the funds to Dasha and let him arrange for the deposit."

"Yes."

Tony nodded and left the office.

Sheng Jiale took out a cigar, cut off one end, took out a blowgun, lit it, and took a puff with great relish.

"I just gave Jianjun 1 billion yuan, and 12.5 billion yuan was returned. In addition, the gold mine has also started to be mined, so it will be profitable soon..."

Sheng Jiale puffed out smoke and shook his head.

I sighed in my heart, "It is indeed easy to make money from money. Rich people are the ones who make money most easily."

The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.

Sheng Jiale had finished processing a batch of documents and was thinking about what to eat for lunch.

Ding ding ding.

His cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Meng Xue's number.

"What does this girl want from me?"

Sheng Jiale thought for a moment and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Meng Xue?"

"It's me. Is Boss Chu busy now? Did I disturb you?"

On the other end of the phone, Meng Xue asked with a smile.

"You know I'm not busy all the time. Tell me, what's the matter with you calling me?"

"Ahem, since you're not busy, I'll just say it straight."

Meng Xue coughed twice and said, "I think... no, it's my father who wants to invite you to dinner at home to thank you for solving Wang Bao's problem last time."

Sheng Jiale smiled in his heart. Meng Xue was really thin-skinned. She had to use Meng Dahai as an excuse to invite him to dinner.

However, Sheng Jiale just hadn't decided what to eat for lunch, so it would be a good idea to go to Meng Xue's house to ask for some free money.

Meng Dahai runs a restaurant, so his cooking skills are pretty good. I heard that some of his specialties are even better than those made by hotel chefs, so Sheng Jiale also wants to try them.

"So it's this matter? No problem. I'm always available." Sheng Jiale agreed.

"Great."

After Meng Xue finished speaking, she seemed to feel that she was a little unreserved, so she quickly lowered her voice and continued, "If you have time anytime, how about today at noon?
Of course, if you have other plans, you can do it another day." (End of this chapter)
