Chapter 127

"Big Brother, you looking for me?"

Ni Yongxiao pushed open the study door and asked as he walked in.

Ni Yongyao sat behind the desk, took a puff of his cigar, and said, "I'm planning to purchase a building to serve as the headquarters for Black Steel International."

"Big Brother, are you planning to shift the focus of our future operations to the security business?"

Ni Yongxiao asked, puzzled.

When Ni Yongyao first had him register Black Steel International, he had assumed it was just a side project.

But now that even a headquarters building was being prepared, Ni Yongxiao was quite taken aback.

"Just killing two birds with one stone,"

Ni Yongyao said indifferently. "You just focus on the mobile phone business; I'll have others take charge of Black Steel International."

"Yes, Big Brother."

Seeing Ni Yongyao say this, Ni Yongxiao stopped asking questions.

"Contact the owner of the Star Sky Building near Weiduoliyagang and have him name a price."

Ni Yongyao said.

The Star Sky Building was the result of Ni Yongyao's careful selection.

Located by Weiduoliyagang, the building had an excellent location and complete facilities, making it perfect for use as the Black Steel International headquarters.

"I'll go right away."

Ni Yongxiao agreed and left the study.

An hour later.

Knock, knock, knock.

The study door was knocked upon.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Ni Yongxiao walked in, followed by a middle-aged man in a suit.

"Big Brother, this is Mr. Wang, the owner of the Star Sky Building. He is interested in selling the building but wants to speak with you in person."

Ni Yongxiao introduced him.

"Mr. Ni, hello."

Mr. Wang, who was portly, smiled and reached out to shake Ni Yongyao's hand.

"Hello."

Ni Yongyao shook hands with Mr. Wang and then asked, "I wonder how much money it would take for Mr. Wang to part with it?"

"Since it's Mr. Ni who wants to buy it, the price is negotiable."

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "I can sell the Star Sky Building for 200 million, but I hope Mr. Ni can agree to one condition."

"A condition?"

Ni Yongyao said, "Speak your mind."

"I have some properties in Sha Tin that have been constantly harassed by people lately, and calling the police many times hasn't helped.

I hope Mr. Ni can help me resolve this issue when the time is right."

Mr. Wang said.

"Sha Tin? That's the territory of Central Righteousness. Haven't you tried finding Lian Haolong?"

Ni Yongyao took a puff of his cigar and exhaled a dragon of smoke.

Hearing this, Mr. Wang gave a bitter smile and said, "I suspect those people were sent by Central Righteousness. Lian Haodong, Lian Haolong's younger brother, has approached me more than once wanting to buy a stake in my properties."

"I see."

Ni Yongyao understood; Mr. Wang was trying to use the Ni family to make Lian Haodong back off.

"Mr. Ni, if you are willing to help, I am also willing to gift you a plot of land in Tsz Wan Shan. It's a bit remote, but it's quite large."

Seeing Ni Yongyao deep in thought, Mr. Wang quickly added to the offer.

Ni Yongyao considered it for a moment and nodded, saying, "I'll help with this."

A selling price of 200 million was significantly lower than the market rate; normally, the Star Sky Building would sell for around 230 million.

The remote location of the Tsz Wan Shan land wasn't a drawback for Ni Yongyao; it would be perfect for building a training ground for Black Steel International.

With this deal, Mr. Wang was conceding at least 30 million.

This made dealing with Lian Haodong seem very cost-effective.

Ni Yongyao also guessed that Lian Haodong's appetite must have been huge, far exceeding 30 million, for Mr. Wang to be this generous.

"Thank you, Mr. Ni!"

Hearing Ni Yongyao agree, Mr. Wang was overjoyed.

"Yongxiao, you handle the contract. Get the building transferred and cleared as soon as possible."

Ni Yongyao instructed.

"Yes, Big Brother."

Ni Yongxiao nodded and then began discussing the details with Mr. Wang.

A few days later.

The Star Sky Building was transferred and officially renamed the Black Steel Building, and the sign for Black Steel International Strategic Defense also appeared on top of the building.

Such a big move naturally attracted the attention of those interested.

This included Liu Jiayi from TVB.

"Mr. Ni, we meet again."

In the Ni family study, Liu Jiayi greeted Ni Yongyao.

Liu Jiayi had previously conducted an exclusive interview with Ni Yongyao when the sales of the Galaxy One exceeded 100 million, so both sides were familiar with each other.

"For this interview, I mainly want to ask two questions: First, does the establishment of Black Steel International Strategic Defense mean that the focus of Ni Capital will shift to the security business?

Second, I heard that Galaxy Communications has sold the Galaxy One to Motorola? I wonder if that's true?"

Liu Jiayi asked.

"I'll answer the second question first: it's true."

Ni Yongyao spoke eloquently, "The Galaxy One has already captured the entire Hong Kong market. For me personally, continuing further holds no challenge.

Currently, Galaxy Communications is working on developing a mobile phone, which will be an epoch-making product."

Hearing this, Liu Jiayi's beautiful eyes widened, and her keen journalistic intuition captured the talking point.

"Mr. Ni, can you reveal some information about the mobile phone?"

Liu Jiayi pressed.

"I can't tell you the specific parameters, but I can say responsibly that it is absolutely the top-tier mobile phone globally, bar none."

Ni Yongyao said.

"Hearing you say that, I'm becoming more and more expectant of your company's new phone. I wonder when we'll be able to buy it?"

Liu Jiayi asked.

"If things go fast, this year; if slow, January of next year."

Ni Yongyao said, "As for the first question, I don't think so. Ni Capital will be laying out plans across multiple industries in the future.

The reason for establishing Black Steel International Strategic Defense now is because I have seen many criminals remain at large after committing crimes.

As a Justice of the Peace, I have the obligation and the responsibility to provide better security services and a more stable social environment for the citizens of Hong Kong."

"Mr. Ni, I never expected you to have such a strong sense of responsibility. If Hong Kong had more kind people like you, I think it would definitely become better."

Liu Jiayi nodded repeatedly at Ni Yongyao's righteous words, fully agreeing.
