Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

Seeing the tragic scene that followed, Zhou Chaoxian's mood had fallen to the freezing point. He knew that if Fang Guohui fired another shot, he might not even be able to wait until the day of trial and would be killed on the spot today.

What no one expected was that on a tree, Tian Yangsheng was waiting for an opportunity with his sniper weapon, and saw the helicopter in the sky slowly descending.

Tian Yangsheng's eyes flashed with light. He set up the sniper weapon, and with a bang, a bullet hit the propeller perfectly, knocking the screw off.

"Zhao, what's going on?"

Fang Guohui, who was sitting in a helicopter and preparing to chase Zhou Chaoxian, suddenly found that he could no longer control his helicopter and could not help but curse out loud.

At this moment, the helicopter was like a bird falling from the sky, hitting the ground with a bang.

Zhou Chaoxian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, but he immediately realized that this was a great opportunity for him to escape, and shouted to Sanpao:

"Hurry, drive."

At the port in Wanwannan.

Wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses, Tony stood on the deck and looked into the distance. Suddenly, in his field of vision, a Mercedes-Benz drove towards him at full speed:
"Quick, put the board down, Mr. Zhou is here."

After seeing the Mercedes-Benz, Tony waved his hand and issued orders to his brothers below.

As the iron plate was lowered, the Mercedes-Benz stopped at the port. Zhou Chaoxian, his wife and Sanpao, hurriedly got out of the car and rushed onto the boat Tony had prepared.
Zhou Chao first gasped for air, and only then did he dare to look back. He found that there were no cops following him. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Tony:

"Thank you very much. Fortunately, your boss, Mr. Sheng, is willing to help me. Otherwise, I would have to stay in this crooked place for the rest of my life."

At the top of Qiangsheng Group, in Sheng Jiale’s office.

In the office, the smell of burning aromatherapy fills the entire room. Just a slight sniff can make people relax their whole body and mind.

Sheng Jiale was lying on the sofa with his feet dangling on the sandalwood table. The table beside him was filled with fruit plates. He had a cigar in his mouth, with smoke rising. Puffs of smoke rings poured out of his mouth. He picked up the fruits from the fruit plate and put them into his mouth to chew, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

This was also a rare leisure time for Sheng Jiale, and at this moment, the voice of the system resounded in Sheng Jiale's mind for the first time in a long time.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the guidance mission issued by the system: helping Zhou Chao escape first."

"Complete the mission and receive a reward: Sanpao's 100% loyalty."

After hearing the system's voice, Sheng Jiale couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a smile.

He knew that although Sanpao had not performed particularly well in film and television, he had always been Zhou Chaoxian's personal bodyguard, so his strength should not be underestimated.

What's more, he has been with Zhou Chaoxian for so long and has certain experience in the management of community companies. This is what is called being familiar with it.

Moreover, Sheng Jiale knew that what he had gained was not only Sanpao's 100% loyalty, but also all of Zhou Chaoxian's properties. Now that Zhou Chaoxian had fallen on hard times, his properties would naturally fall into the hands of Sheng Jiale.

You have to know that Zhou Chaoxian's industries are spread all over Taiwan and even involved in Hong Kong Island. With so many industries, even Sheng Jiale cannot thoroughly investigate them in a short period of time. But as long as they have San Pao, this problem can be easily solved.

At this moment, the phone in Sheng Jiale's arms suddenly rang. He took out the phone and answered it, then said calmly:
"Hey, who is it?"

On the other side, Sanpao was wearing a black suit, his leather shoes were stained with some water stains, and his neatly combed hair was now a little messy due to the sea breeze. He took off his sunglasses and looked at the ships going away in the distance. There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, but this expression soon disappeared.

San Pao held a phone in his hand, and his tone was full of respect:

"I am Sanpao, the former assistant guard supervisor for Mr. Zhou. According to Mr. Zhou's instructions, I have now been transferred to your subordinate."

"Mr. Sheng, you will be my boss from now on."

"Mr. Zhou has handed the Songlin Club over to me before he left. From now on, the entire Songlin Club will obey your orders."

"Mr. Sheng, there is one more thing I need to tell you. Songlin Club can no longer be called that name. Mr. Zhou's affairs have caused a lot of uproar in Taiwan. Everyone knows that the name of the man behind Songlin Club is Mr. Zhou. Moreover, as his former bodyguard and assistant, if I take over Songlin Club and run it now, I will most likely be suppressed or even eliminated."

“So I hope to be able to add Songlin Company to your Health and Fitness Association in Wanwan.”

After hearing what San Pao said, Sheng Jiale couldn't help but curl up a smile, nodded gently, and said to San Pao on the other end of the phone:

"No problem. Go back now and sort out all the assets of Songlin Company and make a list for Ah Huai."

"As for the Health and Fitness Association, I will inform Ah Huai and ask your Songlin Company to merge with the Health and Fitness Association as soon as possible."

Standing at the port, the sea breeze blew across Sanpao's face. Sanpao nodded respectfully while holding the phone:
"Yes, Boss, I'll do it right away."

Then Sanpao hung up the phone, turned around, pushed the luxury car he had driven into the seabed and destroyed it, then got into the van that had been prepared and drove away.

Back to Shengjiale.

After San Pao hung up the phone, Sheng Jiale quickly pressed a few numbers on the phone and called Ah Huai. The call was quickly connected, and Ah Huai's voice came from the other end:

"Boss, we have tried our best to help Mr. Zhou, but we didn't expect such a big mess to happen to Mr. Zhou."

"Sorry, Boss, I didn't complete the task beautifully."

Before Ah Huai could finish, Sheng Jiale interrupted him:

"I know about this, and you don't need to blame yourself."

"Next, I have a more important task for you. You must do it well."

"Now Zhou Chaoxian has left Taiwan, and all his businesses have been handed over to his subordinate Sanpao. After Zhou Chaoxian left, Sanpao has transferred to our Qiangsheng Group."

"Now, contact Sanpao immediately, take over all the businesses of Songlin Company, and merge Songlin Company into your Jianhe Club."

Ah Huai on the other side originally had an apologetic look on his face, but after hearing what Sheng Jiale said, the apologetic look on his face disappeared, his mouth suddenly opened wide, his face full of disbelief, but it soon turned into excitement.

Ah Huai of Songlin Company certainly knew about it. In fact, because of the relationship between the boss of this company, Sheng Jiale, and Zhou Chaoxian, Jianhehui and Songlin Company had a lot of cooperation.

It can be said that Ah Huai has a more intuitive understanding than Sheng Jiale of how huge the industry under Songlin Company is.

Especially a few days ago, Zhou Chaoxian became a legislator, and the Songlin Company can be said to have expanded again and again, and it is definitely the largest gang in Taiwan.

Now such a super gang is actually in his hands.

This was something Ah Huai had never dared to imagine. Songlin Company was a super gang in Taiwan, and Jianhe Society was backed by Qiangsheng Group. Ah Huai could no longer imagine what kind of gang could surpass it in Taiwan.

In Ah Huai's heart, at this moment his admiration for Sheng Jiale grew deeper and deeper.

At this moment, Ah Huai's eyes were full of excitement, and his eyes were dazzling. If he was not on the phone with Sheng Jiale, he would probably jump up from the sofa and cheer excitedly.

Ah Huai took the phone and nodded to Sheng Jiale:

"Yes, boss. I will contact Sanpao right now and take over all the business of Songlin Company. Just wait for my good news. I will definitely do a great job this time."

After hanging up the phone, Ah Huai waved his hand and shouted to the brothers around him:
"Young ones, there's work to do."

"You must take over all of Songlin Company's business immediately. Even if it's just one store, you must not let other societies take it first."

Now everyone knows that Zhou Chaoxian has fled. He has a huge territory in his hands, which is a piece of fat meat. The Hey Gang forces that were originally suppressed by the Songlin Club have now begun to stir. Everyone wants to take a big bite of this huge piece of fat meat.

If it weren't for the special period now, with police everywhere on the streets, I'm afraid these Hey Gang forces would not just wait and see, but would start fighting openly. Ah Huai wants to put an end to this before it happens.

After hanging up Ah Huai's phone, Sheng Jiale picked up some fruit from the fruit plate beside him and tasted it. Then he continued to press numbers on the phone. This time he called Tony. As soon as he dialed, the call was connected immediately. Tony's voice came:
"Boss, Mr. Zhou is now on board. He and his wife are both very safe. Do you have any instructions for me?"

Sheng Jiale nodded and said to Tony calmly:
"After you send Zhou Chaoxian to his destination, withdraw 100 million from the company's account and transfer it to his account."

Tony stood on the ship, the sea breeze blew across his face. He was wearing sunglasses. Under the sunglasses, his expression was a little puzzled, but his loyalty to Sheng Jiale prevented him from asking more questions. He nodded firmly towards the phone and said to Sheng Jiale:
"Boss, I understand. I will definitely send Mr. Zhou and his wife to their destination safely, and then transfer 100 million to his account as you instructed."

When Tony finished speaking and was about to hang up the phone, Sheng Jiale's voice came again from the other side:

"By the way, give the phone to Zhou Chaoxian. I have something to say to him."

Tony nodded when he heard this, walked inside from the deck and opened the door. At this time, in a room, Zhou Chaoxian was hugging his wife Cui Miaoxiang.

Zhou Chaoxian clenched his teeth tightly, his face full of desolation. One could clearly see that his fists were clenched tightly, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and traces of blood were dripping from his hands.

He never thought that he would end up like this today. It has only been a few days since he became a legislator, and he has gone from being one of the most powerful people in Taiwan to an exile. He is now penniless and all his funds have been frozen. Even if he escapes from Taiwan, Zhou Chaoxian does not see any hope for his future livelihood.

Tony didn't care about Zhou Chaoxian's depressed mood at the moment. He strode forward and looked at him. Without saying a word, he slowly handed the phone in his hand to him: "Our boss called you, answer it."

Zhou Chaoxian looked up at Tony, nodded to him, took the phone from him, and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Sheng, thank you for helping me escape from Wanwan."

Hearing Zhou Chaoxian's voice from the other end of the phone, Sheng Jiale said to her indifferently:

"We are partners, and it is our duty to help you."

"As for the video game business that you and I are cooperating on in Hong Kong Island, I will give you your share of the shares at a discount of 100 million. I have already told Tony about these things. After we get off the ship, he will help you with the process."

"From now on, that part of the video game business has nothing to do with you. Just live your life well out there."

Whether in society or in ordinary social occasions, everyone will follow a rule, that is, equality of status.

If the status is not equal, there will be no capital to negotiate with the other party, and even no right to speak. Now Zhou Chaoxian has no power at all, and in terms of status, he is no longer equal to Sheng Jiale, so naturally he is not qualified to continue to be a shareholder of this video game business.

Zhou Chaoxian was holding the phone in his hand. His hair, which was originally combed meticulously, was blown by the sea breeze and became a little messy. His eyelids drooped and he looked very lonely, but there was deep gratitude in the depths of his eyes.

Zhou Chaoxian is not a three-year-old child. He deeply understands how cruel this society is. Originally, he and Sheng Jiale were equal in status. They could call each other brothers and there was no problem in working together to achieve great things.

But now he has become down and out, penniless and without any power. His status is totally unequal to Sheng Jiale's. It is very common in the underworld to beat a man who is down and out.

Even Zhou Chaoxian himself has done this kind of thing many times. After all, in this society, what people talk about is not feelings, but practical interests. If you can bring me benefits, I can talk to you about feelings and I can be on good terms with you.

If you cannot bring me any benefit, those who ignore you are already being kind. Most people will just kick you when you are down. This kind of thing is nothing new.

Now, I am completely of no use to Sheng Jiale, but Sheng Jiale not only helped me escape from Hong Kong Island, he even took into account our past relationship and gave me the shares in the video game business at a discount of 100 million yuan, which was a huge act of kindness.

Zhou Chaoxian held the phone, his hands trembling slightly, his heart full of mixed emotions, and in his slightly low and hoarse voice, he said to Sheng Jiale on the other end of the phone:

"Thank you, Mr. Sheng."

After Zhou Chaoxian said this, he hung up the phone. For Zhou Chaoxian, this thank you seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

However, it was this sentence that made the desolate look in his eyes disappear. As if he had made up his mind, Zhou Chaoxian's eyes gradually became firm. He handed the phone back to Tony and said to him lightly:
"Mr. Tony, could you please step out for a moment? My wife and I need some private space."

Upon hearing this, Tony took the phone from Zhou Chaoxian's hand, nodded to him, turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Zhou Chaoxian watched Tony go out, took a deep breath, and turned to look at his wife Cui Miaoxiang.

Cui Miaoxiang had been listening quietly to the conversation between Zhou Chaoxian and He Sheng Jiale since just now, and was very well-behaved. At this moment, she saw her husband looking at her.

Cui Miaoxiang looked at the haggard expression on Zhou Chaoxian's face, and big tears couldn't stop falling from her eyes. She reached out her hands, hugged Zhou Chaoxian's neck, threw herself into his arms, and cried loudly.

But even when she was crying, Cui Miaoxiang did not forget to comfort Zhou Chaoxian:
"Hubby, it's okay. He's just a Taiwanese legislator. It doesn't matter if we don't serve as one."

"We have survived all those years on Green Island. As the saying goes, we are still a brave man after 18 years. At worst, we can just hold on for a few more years like we did before, and then come back and let those guys take a good look at us."

"Hubby, I know you have the ability to do this. As long as you are willing, I will always be by your side."

Hearing what Cui Miaoxiang said, Zhou Chaoxian couldn't help laughing. The smile on his face was so hearty and happy, just like a child.

When Cui Miaoxiang heard Zhou Chaoxian's laughter, her heart skipped a beat and she cried even louder. She was really afraid that Zhou Chaoxian couldn't bear this blow:
"Honey, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Zhou Chaoxian reached out and gently patted Cui Miaoxiang on the back to calm his wife's emotions. He stroked her head with his right hand and let her lean on his shoulder.

Smelling the fragrance of Cui Miaoxiang's hair, Zhou Chaoxian thought of her calmly and said:
"I'm fine. We won't go back, and I won't let you suffer any longer."

Then, Zhou Chaoxian suddenly grabbed Cui Miaoxiang's shoulders and looked at her straight in the eyes. There was no trace of loneliness on his face, but tenderness and joy instead.

Zhou Chaoxian was a man of strong mind. If an ordinary person had experienced such ups and downs, he would have gone crazy long ago. But for Zhou Chaoxian, it was like putting down a heavy burden from his shoulders. At this moment, he felt extremely relaxed and free, as if nothing could restrain him anymore.

Looking at his wife, his voice became extremely gentle:
"For so many years, when I was on Green Island, you have always been by my side. No matter whether I was down and out or rich and powerful, you have never left me."

"Whether I am qualified to be a legislator or not, whether I have power or not, it is no longer important to me. Mr. Sheng will give me NT$100 million. Even if this money cannot allow me to live a luxurious life like before, it is enough for our descendants to have no worries about food and clothing."

"Now I just want to take you to Australia. I won't pursue anything else in the rest of my life. I will just stay with you."

When Cui Miaoxiang heard Zhou Chaoxian's affectionate words, tears fell from her eyes. She buried her head in Zhou Chaoxian's arms and cried loudly. Happiness, excitement, and countless joyful emotions intertwined in Cui Miaoxiang's heart. She had been waiting for Zhou Chaoxian's words for many years, and now she finally heard them.

Zhou Chaoxian curled up a smile on his lips and reached out to stroke his wife's hair, enjoying the peace of the moment.

on the other side.

In Sheng Jiale's office, just after hanging up the phone with Zhou Chaoxian, there was a knock on the office door.

Sheng Jiale looked towards the door and said calmly:
"come in."

As the words fell, the office door opened and He Min, who looked like an angel, walked in wearing a women's suit, with her hair combed very beautifully, light makeup on her face, and high heels.

Sheng Jiale suddenly showed a gentlemanly smile on his face. He pointed to the sofa in front of him and poured a glass of red wine:
"He Min, what's the matter?"

He Min smiled faintly at Sheng Jiale, nodded, handed the document in her hand to Sheng Jiale, sat down on the sofa gracefully, looked at Sheng Jiale and said excitedly:

"Boss, this is amazing. Since our VCD factory has been expanded, most of the goods have been shipped to the mainland. They are extremely popular there, allowing us to achieve a new high in revenue this month."

"This is this month's revenue, which has increased by 10 percent compared to last month."

"Now there are many companies in the mainland that are begging to cooperate with us."

Hearing this, Sheng Jiale smiled and nodded to He Min:
"Well done."

What does it mean that the current revenue of this VCD factory has increased by 10% compared to last month?
You should know that it has been several months since the factory opened, and each month's revenue has seen a breakthrough growth compared to the previous month. If compared with the beginning, the factory's revenue has actually more than doubled.

Other factories generally have a fierce momentum at the beginning, and then the revenue gradually declines. However, as Shengjiale's VCD factory expanded to the mainland, its revenue reached new highs every day. It can be said that it is now in a state of complete supply exceeding demand.

If the production can keep up, this month's revenue will probably increase by not just 10% compared to last month, but by more.

After flipping through the documents in his hand, Sheng Jiale stuffed them into the drawer of his desk. He stood up from the sofa, took out a cigar from his arms, cut it open with a click, took out a match and lit it, and smoke rings came out of his mouth.

After finishing the cigar and turning it around in the ashtray, Sheng Jiale looked at He Min and said:
"Let's go to the VCD factory and take a look."

Hearing this, He Min nodded to Sheng Jiale, walked beside Sheng Jiale, leaned towards him intentionally or unintentionally, and they went down the company building together, got in a sports car and went to the VCD factory.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Sheng Jiale drove a sports car and brought He Min to the VCD factory.

As soon as he entered the VCD factory, Sheng Jiale saw that people were working non-stop in the factory. The rumbling sound of machines could be heard and countless workers were busy on the assembly line.

However, when seeing the efficiency of this VCD factory, Sheng Jiale couldn't help but frowned.

It’s not that the efficiency of the VCD factory is too low. It can be said that based on the current number of workers and the number of machines, it can be said that its efficiency is extremely good in the same industry.

But the problem is that, although the market in Hong Kong Island is close to saturation, the population of Hong Kong Island and the mainland are not at the same level at all. According to the current production speed, even if only one in ten people in the mainland have a demand for VCDs, it will probably take nearly five or six years of production to meet the demand.

Sheng Jiale does not have five or six years to waste. The changes of the times are so huge and rapid. No matter how prosperous Sheng Jiale is, it is likely that in just two or three years, let alone five or six years, no one will have any demand for VCDs anymore.

Sheng Jiale is a businessman. As a businessman, he naturally wants to find ways to maximize the profits he can get. Knowing that he can make a fortune in two or three years by taking advantage of the VCD craze, Sheng Jiale certainly will not sit idly by and let the profits slip through his fingers.

Looking at He Min on the side, Sheng Jiale's expression was extremely solemn, and he said seriously:

"The factory's current speed has not yet reached my expectations. He Min, please tell Dasha later that the factory needs to undergo another round of expansion."

"We need to hire more workers and purchase the latest VCD manufacturing equipment. We need to produce the product as quickly as possible and seize the market quickly."

After hearing what Sheng Jiale said, He Min's face suddenly showed surprise. According to the current momentum, the VCD equipment manufactured in this factory has almost become the mainstream in the market. In this case, the general point is to be stable and move forward steadily.

You have to know that purchasing a large number of VCD manufacturing equipment is not a small amount of money. It is enough to swallow up more than 30% of the money earned so far. Although it is only 30%, it is also a huge number. If some accidents occur, it is very likely that the factory's profit will turn into a loss.

He Min just wanted to tell this to Sheng Jiale, but when she looked up and saw the serious expression on Sheng Jiale's face, the words she wanted to say were immediately choked in her throat, and she couldn't say a word. She knew that Sheng Jiale was not joking with her.
After thinking for a moment, He Min nodded to Sheng Jiale:
"I understand. I will go to Dasha to discuss this matter right away." (End of this chapter)
