Jiang Zhongfa smiled and gave a thumbs up:

"Brother Lin, you really have a keen eye; you've discovered such a huge market."

"If I'm not mistaken, this market is: the corrupt money of officials and businessmen in mainland China."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong smiled and took the initiative to clink glasses with Jiang Zhongfa.

Indeed, the views of these powerful figures were largely the same.

No wonder Chiang Chung-fa was able to hold the top position in the Xingyi Alliance for so many years; he's a man of great intellect.

"Corruption and corruption among officials and businessmen in mainland China?"

Zhao Haosheng was somewhat taken aback, but he quickly grasped the subtlety of it, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed, clapping and praising:

"Brother Lin, I'm impressed. I think your suggestion has great potential."

"Tell me, what are your plans? I, Zhao Haosheng, have decided to take a stake. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll be there without hesitation."

Lin Dong raised his glass and clinked it with Zhao Haosheng's, smiling as he said:

"No rush. Once I get back and have everything planned out, the project will officially launch within two months."

“My idea is that the market in Nandu, and even the entire Nan Province, is a bit small, so we need to expand northward.”

Zhao Haosheng didn't quite understand and asked in confusion:

"Northward expansion? Is it necessary?"

“It’s very necessary, and we also need to bring in another partner.”

"who?"

"The Ling family of the capital."

...

The three of them ate until 10 p.m.

Over dinner, the operating strategy and shareholding ratio of the underground bank were basically confirmed:

Lin Dong, as the major shareholder and initiator of the underground bank, holds 51% of the shares.

Jiang Zhongfa was in charge of managing the underworld in Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia, holding a 13% stake.

Zhao Haosheng was the main investor in the underground bank's cash flow and participated in its daily operations and management, holding a 20% stake.

In the Ling family of Beijing, Lin Dong plans to bring Ling Xiaoxiao into the scheme, leveraging her family's influence in both the legal and illegal worlds of the north to vigorously expand market resources.

This is crucial, as it directly relates to the future scale of underground banks' business.

Therefore, Lin Dong was not stingy and directly reserved 16% of the shares for her.

...

After a satisfying meal and with the business settled, Lin Dong got up to take his leave.

He planned to go back to the villa to rest for the night, and then sneak back to the mainland with Feng Ziyingyan the next night.

As for the waterways, local tycoon Zhao Haosheng had already made arrangements.

Da Tian led Lin Dong and the other two into the building's elevator.

"Lin Dong? It really is you?"

As soon as they entered the elevator, a man's voice came from behind them.
