On the way, Shen Dong went to Citibank and cashed a bearer check.
Upon arriving at the Correctional Services Department, Shen Dong met Hales in his office.
"Mr. Shen, do you know why I'm meeting with you?"
"have no idea."
"Because I heard George talk about you, and he described you as a generous and outstanding young man."
"Mr. George, you flatter me. Mr. Hales, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."
Shen Dong got straight to the point, placing the check directly on Hales's desk.
Hales glanced at the numbers and, like George, immediately covered them with a document.
"There's a saying in the Xia Kingdom: 'One should not accept rewards without merit.' Mr. Shen, what brings you here?"
Shen Dong said, "I have a friend who has been in Stanley Prison for two and a half years. I hope he can be released within a week."
Hales asked, "How much longer is he serving his sentence?"
Shen Dong said, "Less than half a year."
Hales frowned and said, "This is not an easy task."
Shen Dong said, "That's for other people. For you, this shouldn't be a difficult task. Mr. Hales, rest assured, I will reward you handsomely after it's done."
Hales raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's his name?"
Shen Dong smiled.
......
Five minutes later, Shen Dong left the Correctional Services Department.
Little Ma immediately came up to him and asked, "Brother Dong, how is it?"
Shen Dong said, "In a few days, we'll drive to pick up Ahao."
Little Ma swung his arm hard and said, "Great!"
Shen Dong said, "Once Ah Hao comes out, I will hand over the investment company to him to manage. You should take some time to heal your leg and then help me manage the business in Tsuen Wan."
Little Ma nodded and said, "No problem."
Hales is very efficient.
Just three days later, Shen Dong and Xiao Ma arrived at the entrance of Stanley Prison again.
At 10:00 AM sharp, the main door opened, and Song Zihao walked out.
"Brother Hao, over here."
Little Ma waved to him.
Song Zihao smiled slightly, walked up to him, and gave him a tight hug.
Little Ma patted him on the back and said, "Brother Dong is in the car."
Song Zihao nodded and said, "Understood."
Song Zihao opened the car door and got inside.
Little Ma then sat directly in the passenger seat.
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Ah Hao, congratulations on your freedom."
Song Zihao said gratefully, "Brother Dong, thank you. I didn't expect to be released so quickly."
Little Ma said, "Brother Hao, Brother Dong spent two million Hong Kong dollars to get you out of prison as soon as possible."
Song Zihao exclaimed, "Brother Dong, this...this is too much, I don't deserve it."
Shen Dong said, "Are you saying I have bad taste?"
Song Zihao quickly said, "That's not what I meant."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Then let's not say anything more. Let's go to the hotel first, firstly to welcome you, and secondly to introduce you to my brothers."
Song Zihao said, "Yes, Brother Dong."
Upon arriving at a five-star hotel in Mong Kok, Song Zihao followed Shen Dong into a private room.
There were already quite a few people inside, all of them puffing on cigarettes.
Upon seeing Shen Dong enter, everyone quickly extinguished their cigarettes and stood up to greet him.
"Don't be shy, please sit down."
Shen Dong sat down in the main seat without any hesitation and said, "Ah Hao, Xiao Ma, you two sit next to me."
Song Zihao said, "Brother Dong, we're new here, this isn't in accordance with the rules."
Shen Dong said, "This banquet was held just for the two of you, so you must sit here. As for the future, you can sit wherever you like, I don't care."
Ah Hua smiled and said, "Ah Hao, Xiao Ma, come and sit down."
Everyone else chimed in.
Having no other choice, Song Zihao and Xiao Ma sat on either side of Chen Dong.
Shen Dong introduced everyone to each other and said, "From now on, we're all on the same side. Ah Hao, I don't have much time for you. Tomorrow morning, you must go to the investment company to take up your post. You can handle everything as you see fit. I just want all that illicit money to come out into the open."
Song Zihao said, "Brother Dong, don't worry. I know this stuff like the back of my hand. There won't be any problems."
Shen Dong nodded and asked, "Jimmy, what's the situation with the Japanese?"
Jimmy said, "Brother Dong, I was just about to report to you. I've already disposed of Guohua's stuff and handed it over to the Dongyi Yamada Group. We made a total of 38 million."
Shen Dong said, "Donate eight million to charity, and give the remaining thirty million to Ah Hao to clean up."
Jimmy asked, "Brother Dong, do you think we should put the game street thing on the agenda? The Yamada Group can help us get all the import permits."
Shen Dong recalled the arcade games that were popular all over the country in his previous life and asked, "How much does it cost?"
Jimmy said, "The price of one machine is HK$35,000. We can buy two hundred to test the waters first."
Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "Go to Dongyi yourself, investigate the market, and see which type of arcade machine is the most fun. Once you decide, we'll order 800 units directly."
Jimmy immediately felt immense pressure and hesitated, "Brother Dong, isn't this too much?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "The market is constantly changing. By the time you're sure arcade games can make big money, other gangs will probably jump on the bandwagon. What will you do then?"
Jimmy said, "But what if it doesn't become popular? Wouldn't we be at a huge loss?"
Shen Dong said, "There is no such thing as a business that guarantees a profit without any risk. You must be bold when the time is right."
Jimmy nodded and said, "I'll go to Dongyi tomorrow."
Shen Dong said, "Okay. Is there anything else?"
Ah Hua said, "Brother Dong, Blackie and Wen Zheng have raised the banner of avenging Ni Yongxiao and are preparing to join forces to deal with Han Chen."
The news has spread throughout the Hong Kong underworld that Ni Kun was killed by Han Chen's wife, and Ni Yongxiao was killed by Han Chen.
The Ni family's downfall was mainly due to the two of them.
However, this matter was an internal dispute within the Triads and had nothing to do with other gangs. In fact, many gangs were grateful to Han Chen.
If it weren't for him, this enormous power that had been entrenched in the Yau Tsim Mong district would not have collapsed.
If the Triads don't collapse, no one will benefit from them.
While various triads were taking over the Triads' territory, Blackie and Man Cheng were not idle either.
Many loyal members of the Ni family joined the two men's ranks, causing their number of followers to skyrocket.
The more people there are, the greater the need for money and territory.
The Black Ghost and Wen Zheng pulled this stunt simply to provide themselves with a legitimate reason to seize Han Chen's territory; their true purpose, to put it bluntly, was profit.
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Why didn't I retaliate when Ni Yongxiao hired assassins to kill me? It was so that he would die at Han Chen's hands. Now the Triads are practically defunct, split into three factions that are fighting each other. This is exactly the best outcome I wanted. Let them fight, the more intense the better."
Jimmy said, "Brother Dong, if Han Chen wins, it will probably be very disadvantageous for us."
