The deal was worth two hundred million, and it was with a big boss from the mainland.
Ji Zai’s voice trembled as he spoke, unable to hide his inner excitement.
Xu Xiao, who appeared calm, found his fingers trembling slightly as he held his cigarette, his eyes filled with shock.
A business worth two hundred million, if successful, would be equivalent to a year and a half of his father’s triad’s income.
“Let’s discuss it in the office!”
Xu Xiao, suppressing his excitement, led Ji Zai towards the office.
*Clang!*
As soon as the door closed, Xu Xiao couldn’t wait to ask, “Quickly tell me, what’s the situation?”
“Boss, didn’t you ask me to find more buyers? So I cast my net wide and coincidentally received news from the mainland.”
As he spoke, Ji Zai took out his phone from his pocket, clicked on a news item about Shenzhen, and placed it on the table, saying, “Half a month ago, Lin Cong, Shenzhen’s biggest drug dealer, was arrested and imprisoned. Without Lin Cong’s supply now, the price of contraband in Shenzhen has soared.
After Lin Cong’s arrest, some local powers all set their sights on this lucrative opportunity, but they lack procurement channels. Thus, they are desperately searching for supply, offering increasingly higher prices.
I sent people to inquire in Shenzhen, and the highest bidder is the owner of Bai Jin Gong, Chen Guoyao.”
Chen Guoyao!
Hearing the familiar name, Xu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Previously, when Xu Yuejin suppressed the three triads in Shenzhen, they had invited Chen Guoyao’s help.
Although they hadn’t met, they all knew Chen Guoyao’s influence in Shenzhen.
However, as the son of a prominent triad leader, Xu Xiao had some understanding of Chen Guoyao and knew his character.
He narrowed his eyes, frowning, “I heard Chen Guoyao generally doesn’t get involved in the contraband business. If he suddenly wants to purchase in large quantities, could it be a trap?”
As he spoke, Ji Zai smiled mysteriously, spread out his palms, and made a gesture: “Boss, the current market price in Shenzhen is this much per gram!”
“Eight hundred!”
Seeing the eight fingers, Xu Xiao’s eyes widened, “Damn, with this price, if he buys two hundred million worth of goods, won’t he make five times the profit upon selling them?”
No wonder Chen Guoyao would eye this lucrative opportunity. If it were him, he wouldn’t give up such a good chance.
“Boss, there’s something else. Chen Guoyao actually contacted A Cheng Rong first. However, because Chen Guoyao used money to help Xu Yuejin arrest people from Bai Liansheng, A Cheng Rong refused.
Furthermore, A Cheng Rong also declared that anyone who dares to supply Chen Guoyao will be dealt with!”
After speaking, Ji Zai added with a hint of confusion, “I don’t quite understand, since Chen Guoyao has enmity with Bai Liansheng, why did he still contact A Cheng Rong?”
Hearing this question, Xu Xiao smiled and explained, “Big brothers from the mainland are different from those in Hong Kong. They are driven by profit. As long as they can make money, there is no enmity.
Simply put, most big brothers from the mainland are businessmen disguised as triad members.”
“Then I understand. No wonder the triads in the mainland are richer than us. It turns out these people have long abandoned any so-called code of honor!”
Ji Zai chuckled and shook his head, continuing to ask, “Boss, with A Cheng Rong, this mad dog, issuing threats, do we still want to contact Chen Guoyao?”
“What is our current relationship with A Cheng Rong?”
“He’s always eyeing our Yi He territory, so it’s definitely a hostile relationship.”
“Then that’s that, you imbecile! As long as there’s money, will you be afraid of that mad dog A Cheng Rong?”
Xu Xiao rolled his eyes at him and pondered, “We must do business, but we can’t directly contact Chen Guoyao.
Here’s what you do: find a few unfamiliar faces to contact Chen Guoyao first and see if he truly has the capacity to take two hundred million worth of goods.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it now!”
…
Shenzhen, a private villa.
Gao Fei was fiddling with the tea set on the table and asked the three people in front of him, “The message has been out for three or four days, and A Cheng Rong has also played his part. Has there been any response from Hong Kong yet?”
The three shook their heads simultaneously. Xu Yuejin said with a wry smile, “Boss, A Cheng Rong is now considered a mad dog by other triads in Hong Kong. With his declaration, I estimate no one will dare to contact us.”
“Not necessarily!”
Guo Yue shook her head, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Bai Liansheng is currently the number one enemy of all triads in Qing Kui District. Two hundred million worth of goods is enough to make other triads salivate. Someone will definitely take the risk.
But who can supply two hundred million worth of goods? In all of Hong Kong, only Xu Xiao can do it. As a major dealer, and with his father backing him, he will definitely contact us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guoyao’s phone rang.
He answered the call, and after hearing the message from the other end, he immediately turned on the speakerphone.
“A Hu, repeat what you just heard on the phone.”
“Just now, two calls came from Hong Kong. Both callers are Hong Kong drug dealers, one named Yu Dan Zai and the other Da Lao San. They want to invite Brother Yao to meet tonight. To show sincerity, they asked us to choose the location.”
“Did they mention which triad they are from?”
“No, I asked Hong Kong informants, and they don’t know which triad these two belong to.
Brother Yao, should we meet?”
“Let me think about it. I’ll call you back later.”
After hanging up, Chen Guoyao asked doubtfully, “Boss, do you think it’s someone sent by Xu Xiao?”
“Let me get someone to ask!”
Gao Fei picked up his phone and directly called Huo Dongcheng.
Compared to underworld informants, Huo Dongcheng, who often navigated between the black and white, and had connections, was more likely to find out the identities of lower-level triad members.
The call connected, and Gao Fei directly stated the names Yu Dan Zai and Da Lao San, asking for help to inquire about their triad affiliation.
Huo Dongcheng, who had now completely established a connection, was very straightforward and replied within an hour.
With his assurance, the four in the villa continued to drink tea and chat.
About half an hour later.
Huo Dongcheng called and directly informed Gao Fei that both Yu Dan Zai and Da Lao San were members of Yi He in Qing Kui District.
However, the two rarely showed themselves, so hardly anyone knew they were Yi He’s henchmen.
Having received the confirmed information, Gao Fei looked at the three and asked with a smile, “Concealing their identities to contact Brother Yao, what do you think Xu Xiao is up to?”
“Testing if we’re setting a trap?”
Chen Guoyao replied casually.
Xu Yuejin chimed in, frowning, “Besides testing, he probably wants to see if Brother Yao truly has the ability to handle two hundred million worth of goods.”
Gao Fei was very satisfied with the answers given by the two and chuckled, “Since they want to see if Brother Yao has the ability, let’s show them directly.”
“Boss, what do you mean?”
“Like this….”
Gao Fei whispered instructions to the three.
…
At eight o’clock in the evening, two vehicles with Hong Kong license plates entered Shenzhen.
The two cars didn’t enter at the same time, but were spaced out by half an hour, arriving in Shenzhen one after the other.
Gao Fei and his group were acting, and these two Yi He thugs were also acting.
Shenzhen, private villa, Villa No. 3.
A man wearing a black trench coat and a slicked-back hairstyle was escorted into the villa by security personnel after being searched.
As soon as he entered, A Hu, who had a buzz cut, was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, and had a menacing look, was already waiting.
Upon hearing the security personnel’s reminder, the man with the slicked-back hair immediately walked forward enthusiastically.
“Greetings, Brother A Hu, I’m Da Lao San. You can just call me Lao San!”
“Hello, just call me A Hu!”
Looking at Da Lao San, who was still wearing a trench coat in the hot weather, A Hu’s gaze was somewhat strange. Didn’t this guy feel hot?
Lao San also noticed his gaze and immediately said with a smile, “Recently, a movie called ‘God of Gamblers’ became popular in Hong Kong. This kind of attire is now fashionable in Hong Kong.
If our cooperation is successful, I’ll give you a high-definition DVD of ‘God of Gamblers’.”
“Hahaha, you’re too kind!”
A Hu waved his hand and said, “Brother Yao is upstairs. Follow me.”
With that, he pressed the elevator button and took the person upstairs to meet Chen Guoyao.
*Ding dong!*
On the third floor of the villa, before the elevator door opened, faint shouts could be heard from outside.
A Hu glanced at Da Lao San, who was full of curiosity, and smiled, “This villa is a private casino run by Brother Yao.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door slowly opened.
What met their eyes were gambling tables and gamblers dressed in luxurious attire.
“Brother Yao is in a private room, follow me!”
A Hu stepped out of the elevator and headed towards the private passage guarded by bodyguards.
Da Lao San, following behind, casually glanced around and immediately noticed many celebrities and bosses he had seen on television among the gamblers.
As the two walked into the private passage and closed the glass door, the noise from outside disappeared.
Room 333.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Da Lao San was instantly dazzled by what he saw.
In his eyes, besides the four people playing cards, the entire room, from the table to the floor, was piled with stacks of one-yuan bills, starting from ten thousand yuan.
All the banknotes combined occupied one-third of the entire room.
In total, it was about fifty to sixty million.
A Hu noticed Da Lao San frozen in place, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, “The person sitting in the middle, with the messy hair, is Brother Yao.
Brother Yao dislikes being disturbed while playing cards. After they finish four rounds, we can talk business.”
“Oh, okay!”
Da Lao San followed A Hu to the bar.
Taking a glass of foreign liquor from the bartender, he lowered his voice and asked, “Uh, Brother A Hu, what game is Boss Chen playing that he’s betting so much money?”
“Fighting the landlord, what else!”
As A Hu finished speaking, the card game ended.
Chen Guoyao cursed loudly, then picked up about thirty thousand yuan next to him and threw it on the table, then began shuffling the cards again.
The other two also picked up about thirty thousand yuan and threw it on the table.
As for the dealer, they happily collected the money.
Seeing this scene, Da Lao San was completely stunned.
Playing a damn game of Fighting the Landlord, losing over a million yuan per hand. Mainland bosses are truly extravagant!
At this moment, Chen Guoyao’s image of being wealthy was deeply etched in Da Lao San’s mind.
About ten minutes later, the four rounds of cards were finally completed.
A Hu stepped forward and whispered a couple of words. Chen Guoyao, without even looking up, cursed, “It’s just a two hundred million deal, what’s the hurry? Make them wait, don’t bother me! Deal the cards again!”
Da Lao San, sitting at the bar, showed no signs of displeasure and patiently waited with a smile.
As soon as A Hu returned to the bar, his phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, he said ‘sorry’ to Da Lao San and left alone.
Five or six minutes later, just as Da Lao San was intently watching Chen Guoyao throw money around, the door of the private room opened again.
When he saw the person next to A Hu, Da Lao San was stunned.
The other person also couldn’t help but be taken aback, a flicker of surprise in their eyes.
At this moment, Chen Guoyao, who was playing cards, casually threw down his hand and looked at the two people who were staring at each other in surprise. A meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
“Gentlemen, let’s speak frankly. Two hundred million worth of goods, whoever offers me more favorable terms, I will cooperate with them!”
Chen Guoyao picked up his wine glass and leaned back on the sofa, cooperating with the performance of the two thugs as much as possible.
