Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 25: Mafia Economics

Since a negotiation with prison warden Howard the day before yesterday, there has been no subsequent response.

Fang Hexuan was not in a hurry. Based on his many years of business experience, it would be foolish for Howard not to agree.

After a week in the hospital, doctors were convinced he had recovered.

He himself didn't want to live there any longer, even though the food here was several levels better than that in prison.

Every day, he was served by several gorgeously dressed female nurses who kept flirting with him.
As a former patient who had suffered physical torture not long ago, he really did not deserve it.

The "serve" here means that the patient is taken care of carefully, there is no other meaning, don't think too much about it.

Although Howard did not give him any clear answer, Fang Hexuan's treatment in Stanley Prison was indeed improved.

He left the hospital at noon.

While working in the laundry room in the afternoon, he deliberately slacked off to see what the effect would be.

The prison guard next to him seemed not to see anything and ignored him.

This made Fang Hexuan feel more or less relieved.

During the evening exercise time, the prison guard on the sidelines clearly told him that he could stay outside for an extra hour in the future.

This is to be treated in the same way as foreign prisoners.

This change in his treatment also caused discussion among other prisoners.

When the prisoners in warehouses one, two and three returned to the warehouse, Fang Hexuan asked Dayanming to stay.

Da Yanming doesn't care. He is freer in Stanley Prison than Fang Hexuan.

Fang Hexuan kept him because he wanted him to do some coordination work.

A few days ago, if it weren't for the support from Lao Chao and the "Big Four" who personally stepped out to show their support,

Fang Hexuan couldn't meet the warden, let alone negotiate a deal.

In order to support him, more than a dozen prisoners from the two major societies fainted and were hospitalized.
This is also a favor that needs to be repaid.

However, this was not his main purpose.

Fang Hexuan first expressed his sincere and respectful gratitude to the presidents of the two major associations.

Then, he changed the subject and talked about the agreement he had reached with the warden, and said that the extension of his exercise time was an ancillary benefit of the agreement.

As soon as these words were spoken, the leaders of the two major societies began to whisper to each other, with different expressions on their faces.

Fang Hexuan didn't wait for them to digest the shocking news they had just heard.

Then he said that he had an opportunity to make money with everyone.

"I know that you guys and brothers may think I'm a liar and a lunatic."

"It's useless for me to say Potian, but Jun Shao can testify for me."

"Jun Shao has agreed to invest 2000 million, and I promise to help him double it within six months."

"Everyone doesn't believe me, but it's not possible that even the young master of the Liu family doesn't believe me, right?"

Liu Juncheng was not at the scene.
If he knew that Fang Hexuan used it as an advertisement,
The other person will definitely be so angry that his face will be covered with tears.

"Ah Xuan, we are no different from illiterate people. If you say there is an opportunity to make money, you should tell us in detail, right?"

When Changtui Rong saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, he helped to smooth things over and rescue Fang Hexuan.

Fang Hexuan nodded at him gratefully.

"Brother Rong was right to remind me, it was me who didn't explain it clearly."

"Based on my observations of the economic situation, market trends and international situation over the past year, I believe that there will be a drastic change in the commodity market by the end of this year."

"I cannot disclose which specific bulk materials are involved."

“All I can say is that I’m going to use all the money I can raise to go big.”

"You will definitely think that I am a lunatic. Yes, if I don't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I am indeed a lunatic." Changtui Rong frowned and reminded.

"Are you so sure? I'm just a rough guy and I don't understand what you're talking about, commodities."

"But I think you're just like rolling the dice in a casino, relying on pure luck."

Fang Hexuan grinned confidently at everyone.

"If it was just luck, I wouldn't bet everything I have, including my life."

"I rely on my brain and my eyes, and of course a little bit of luck."

After saying that, Fang Hexuan paused and glanced at everyone calmly.

“I am also part of the society.”

"Brothers, you gave me great support after I was severely injured by the Killer King. I, Hexuan, will never forget it, and I dare not forget it."

"I know everyone joins a society to make a living, and no one likes to fight and kill every day."

"No one wants to hide like a mouse when they see a cat when they see a policeman."

"In today's world, everything requires money. If you don't want to live in a pigeon coop, you have to work hard to buy a house."

"But with the current trend, houses will only become more and more expensive, and the rate of increase in house prices will far exceed the speed at which you can make money."

"To put it bluntly, many old people may not be able to afford the cemetery where they want to be buried when they are old."

"This year is 1978. In a few years, the Sino-British negotiations will have results."

"I am sure that China will take Hong Kong back from the British."

"Hong Kong will return to China by 1997 at the latest."

"That is to say, you can still join the club for a maximum of 19 more years."

"The Communist Party will never tolerate the continued existence of Hong Kong associations. You all know the reason better than I do."

"If the gangs continue to engage in prostitution, gambling, drugs and collect land fees, the Hong Kong government and the police will not tolerate it even before 97."

"Why do I say this? The reason is very simple."

“Because Hong Kong’s economy is undergoing transformation!”

"It has shifted from manufacturing and re-export trade to finance, tourism and service industries."

"There will be more and more foreign companies settling in Central, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, and more and more foreigners will travel and spend money in Hong Kong."

"You can think about it, if Hong Kong is a turbulent and crime-ridden society, would foreigners dare to come here to set up companies or visit?"

"The Hong Kong government will definitely increase its efforts to combat social crime in the future, and social groups will face greater survival crisis and pressure."

"Although prostitution, gambling and drugs are lucrative, you never know when you will end up in jail, or when you will get into a fight with someone and die on the street, leaving behind orphans and widows."

"Invest money in me, and I guarantee you'll at least double your earnings within a year."

"When I make money, I can buy a house, a shop, open a western restaurant or bar, or even invest in movies, make pirated videos, etc. It will be ten or a hundred times better than now."

"I personally believe that the mainland will open up and allow foreign investment."

"By then, you will have money and can go to Shenzhen or Guangzhou to set up a small factory and do some foreign trade business, which will be ten or a hundred times better than it is now."

"At least, we no longer have to worry about becoming a corpse one day, or living in Stanley Prison forever."

"Finally, the more you invest, the higher the return. This is my promise."

"I'm not a money-giving kid. The more money I raise, the more money I can make in the end."

"That way, I can share more with everyone, and likewise, I can share more with myself."

"You only have one chance. If you don't seize it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
