Sun Yee Shing is the largest triad in Hong Kong. If they didn't run a triad, their hundreds of thousands of members would have no food or work, and half of Hong Kong would be in chaos.
They were involved in triad activities, and were not tolerated by the Hong Kong police.
Life wasn't easy in Longcheng either.
Chu Yu's arrival startled Long Cheng. He looked around in disbelief, then pulled one of his underlings over and asked slyly, "Did your boss see a ghost in broad daylight? How come I saw someone who shouldn't be in Hong Kong appear right under my nose?"
The underling played along with his boss's madness, saying, "No way! Boss, it's broad daylight, where would a female ghost come from?"
Long Cheng shoved his underling aside and shouted towards the stairwell:
"Old Yu, come quickly to greet us, we have a distinguished guest!"
Chu Yu thought that if Xinyi City went bankrupt one day, Long Cheng could go to the mainland to perform crosstalk.
Yu Xiangwencong came down the stairs and was taken aback when he saw Chu Yu. "President Zhou, what brings you here?"
Chu Yu smiled. The three of them hadn't seen each other for over a year. Last time, Long Cheng went to the mainland on a whim, invested in Chu Yu, and then took Yu Xiangwen back to Hong Kong. Chu Yu didn't even have time to properly entertain them. In recent years, when Mandarin Cosmetics Company distributed dividends, the two of them hadn't gone to the year-end meeting. Chu Yu had always taken the initiative to transfer the money to their designated account.
With the dividends due this year, Chu Yu made a special trip to meet with them.
The two chatted about business for a while. This year, Mandarin Company has flourished all over the mainland and its business is doing quite well. In addition, with the launch of the recombinant collagen series products, the promotion by major celebrities, and the filming of reality shows for one or two years, Mandarin's turnover this year is close to 80 million!
This was something Chu Yu hadn't expected.
However, prices in mainland China have risen this year, with many things increasing several times in value, and money is indeed becoming less and less valuable. The figure of 80 million is somewhat inflated, but it is true that that much money was earned.
Longcheng and Yu Xiangwen hold a considerable number of shares. The company sets aside a portion of the money for daily operations and uses the rest for dividends. The two of them can receive several million yuan, which is quite good.
Longcheng had the accountant give Chu Yu an account.
"I'll transfer it to this account later."
Long Cheng didn't care about this small amount of money. But to be honest, Mandarin's business was becoming more and more stable. It wouldn't be surprising if they received tens of millions in dividends in a few years. Chu Yu was quite good at doing business. Long Cheng thought that Xinyi City's capital pool was getting bigger and bigger, and they also needed someone to help them make money. They heard that Chu Yu was doing real estate in the South China Sea, and the two of them wanted her to help them out.
Chu Yu and Long Cheng were in the same boat; she couldn't completely reject Long Cheng, but she didn't want to be too deeply tied to him.
"I can help you two register a company."
Long Cheng flicked his cigarette ash and nodded in agreement. "Xin Yi Cheng is one of the top in Hong Kong, but business isn't as good as it used to be. Fortunately, we invested in Hua Lai and partnered with them to make a lot of movies, laundering the money and transferring it overseas. If Xin Yi Cheng gets wiped out by the cops in the future, it will help the brothers find a way to survive."
Chu Yu thought it couldn't be that bad.
Ultimately, Hong Kong's policy toward triads has always been one of appeasement and co-optation.
Hong Kong has a long history of triads, and to put it bluntly, many police officers have been infiltrated by them. If we really take a hard line against the triads, Lung Shing might just turn on them.
The hundreds of thousands of brothers in Sun Yee City are no joke. In the end, if Hong Kong wants to transition peacefully to a peaceful era and dilute the power of the triads, it has to be done step by step.
Before this, nothing will happen in Dragon City.
"Under your and Boss Yu's leadership, Xinyi City has already begun its transformation. You've ventured into two particularly lucrative industries right now: film and real estate. You're sure to succeed in this transformation. Even if you don't transform, times have changed. In this new era, people won't have time to be gangsters, henchmen, or thugs. The entire underworld will have to undergo the baptism of the new era. When that day truly arrives, you and I will be nothing more than witnesses."
Chu Yu's words were gentle yet forceful. Long Cheng couldn't deny that she was extremely forward-thinking, but he didn't want that day to come. He was used to the existence of the gang; the gang was his home, and his life consisted of constantly fighting with people, fighting for territory, and grabbing business.
One day, when the times no longer need him, when Longcheng's era is over, Longcheng doesn't know what he can do anymore.
Yu Xiangwen pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, a smile playing on his lips. As soon as he smiled, Chu Yu couldn't help but frown. For some reason, she was always wary of Yu Xiangwen, always feeling that he was more difficult to deal with than Long Cheng.
Longcheng is simple-minded and straightforward.
Yu Xiangwen's mind is too complicated, going around in circles, and Chu Yu is afraid he will sell her out.
"Mr. Zhou, come with me."
Yu Xiangwen opened the Mercedes-Benz door for Chu Yu. It was the first time Chu Yu had seen Yu Xiangwen drive, and she was a little curious. Yu Xiangwen drove her and Long Cheng to a factory in the suburbs of Gangcheng.
On the way, Chu Yu saw an electric fan factory. The name looked familiar. She turned to look at Yu Xiangwen and got an affirmative answer from his face.
"That's right, that's Mr. Zhou's electric fan factory."
Chu Yu frowned. It was outrageous that Zhou Jian'an hadn't been punished in Hong Kong. This kind of person had swindled others out of their fortunes and then continued to swindle his own niece. How could such a heartless bastard still be able to make money in business?
"Mr. Zhou's electric fan factory is doing quite well. He sells electric fans to South America, and business is booming. He has made a lot of money. In addition, with the more than 30 million yuan he swindled, he now has a net worth of over 100 million yuan!"
Yu Xiangwen tapped his finger on the steering wheel. According to his and Long Cheng's style of doing things, if they encountered someone like Zhou Jian'an, they would just go up and kill him. Before killing him, they would make Zhou Jian'an hand over his property to save his life, and then unilaterally break up the cooperation. They wanted both money and life.
