Huo Jianguo was aware of the land Gao Ren had recently acquired in Causeway Bay.
At first, he thought it was the same land in Yau Ma Tei, intended for entering the real estate market!
But looking at the cigar in his hand, Huo Jianguo realized that he had underestimated Gao Ren.
"Mr. Gao, I never imagined you could not only make counterfeit liquor taste like real liquor, but also counterfeit cigarettes taste exactly like real cigarettes..."
"Where did you get this kind of talent from?!"
Faced with Huo Jianguo's curiosity, could Gao Ren say that it was given to him by the system?
This was something that definitely couldn't be said, but the curious expression on Huo Jianguo's face revealed something to Gao Ren.
Huo Jianguo is very interested in this counterfeit cigarette business!
"Haha, everyone has their own little secrets, right!"
After saying this with a smile, Gao Ren continued,
"Mr. Huo, would you be interested in taking a stake in this business?"
Huo Jianguo wasn't curious at all about Gao Ren's invitation; after all, the fact that Gao Ren had taken out those fake cigarettes already said it all.
"Mr. Gao, I am very interested in this business and would be happy to have a stake in it!"
But I have a question!
"Mr. Huo, please speak freely!"
Seeing the confidence on Gao Ren's face, Huo Jianguo's curiosity grew even stronger.
"Mr. Gao, the production of counterfeit cigarettes is not as sophisticated as that of counterfeit alcohol!"
"The raw materials needed for brewing wine are easy to obtain, but the tobacco leaves for making cigarettes and cigars are not!"
"These are all controlled items. It's possible to get small quantities, but getting large quantities... is almost impossible!"
Seeing Huo Jianguo look at him with a hint of doubt after he finished speaking, Gao Ren chuckled and said confidently,
"Southeast Asia!"
"The day after tomorrow I will personally travel to Southeast Asia to discuss cooperation with the arms dealers there!"
Huo Jianguo was well aware of what the doctor represented in Southeast Asia, and he also understood the reasons behind the internal strife within the doctor's family.
But the more this was the case, the more curious he became.
What makes Gao Ren so certain that the doctor would agree to cooperate with him?
“Mr. Gao, as far as I know, the doctor’s family has always been involved in the arms business…”
"What makes you think the doctor would agree to cooperate with you?"
If it were anyone else who remained skeptical, Gao Ren would have slapped them across the face long ago.
But faced with Huo Jianguo's repeated suspicions, Gao Ren not only didn't want to hit him, on the contrary... he was more happy inside.
Of course, this is definitely not because Gao Ren is cowardly or afraid of Huo Jianguo...
It was because Gao Ren knew that the more questions Huo Jianguo asked, the more it proved how much he valued the business.
"It's very simple!"
"I am now the chief arms contractor for the North!"
"Responsible for all arms sales to foreign countries in the north!"
Upon hearing this answer, Huo Jianguo finally understood why Gao Ren was able to so easily gather three thousand veterans.
The general contractor for arms sales to foreign countries.
Do I need to elaborate on how valuable this statement is?
After a moment of silence, Huo Jianguo personally opened the Moutai bottle in front of him, poured several glasses of wine, placed them on the table, and turned them to Gao Ren.
He stood up, raised his glass, and said to Gao Ren,
"Mr. Gao, I wish us a pleasant cooperation from now on!"
In response to Huo Jianguo's politeness, Gao Ren also stood up, picked up his glass, and said...
"It is my honor to work with Mr. Huo!"
After a glass of wine, the two began discussing the specifics of their collaboration.
Gao Ren was in charge of all production processes, and he was also responsible for sales in Hong Kong.
The Huo family, on the other hand, is responsible for all overseas channels!
After all, you've put Gao Ren in charge of overseas sales, and Gao Ren is completely clueless about where to start!
As for the distribution of profits...
The split is 20/80, with Huo Jianguo getting 20% and Gao Ren getting 80%!
Both sides felt they had gotten a great deal from this outcome, since one had goods but lacked sales channels, while the other had extensive connections but lacked such in-demand goods.
Just as the two finished their discussion and were about to have a good drink, suddenly...
Suddenly remembering something, Huo Jianguo slapped his thigh and said,
"How could I have forgotten something so important!"
Huo Jianguo's sudden action left Gao Ren completely bewildered.
"Mr. Huo, what's making you so excited?"
When Gao Ren asked him the question, Huo Jianguo replied with an excited expression.
"The Macau gambling tycoon He Xin is in the same situation as you and me right now!"
"Although he, like you and me, has gained support from the North, his inner worries are the same as ours!"
"Everyone's afraid that another supporter will emerge and take their place!"
"If we bring him into your business, Mr. Gao, it will not only allow counterfeit cigarettes to quickly dominate the Macau market,"
"We can also leverage his status as the Macau gambling king to expand our overseas sales channels!"
Who is He Xing? He's a gambling tycoon who's famous throughout Asia!
Compared to him, Ma Jiaowen, the former gambling king of Hong Kong Island... is like comparing heaven and earth.
To put it bluntly, Ma Jiaowen isn't even worthy of carrying He Xing's shoes!
Ma Jiaowen was merely a low-ranking henchman of Song Changhe, and there were three other families like the Song family in Hong Kong.
But in Macau... there is only one gambling king, and only one He family!
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Huo!"
Hearing that Gao Ren had no objections, Huo Jianguo asked,
"Mr. Gao, what percentage of the shares are you prepared to give him?"
Upon seeing Gao Ren hold up two fingers, Huo Jianguo immediately raised his glass and said...
"I'll go talk to He Xin tomorrow..."
