Chapter 68

~7 min read 1,295 words

Big B began to look forward to it; if Ni Yongyao died, the Ni family would surely lose its backbone, and Hongxing could easily occupy Jiandong.

By then, perhaps Galaxy Communications would become Hongxing's asset, and he, Big B, could also get a piece of the pie.

OCTB.

Bang!

Lu Qichang slammed his fist on the table.

"Damn those unscrupulous reporters, can they even blow a triad member up into a star of tomorrow?"

Lu Qichang cursed.

The reason for Lu Qichang's rage was simple: the newspapers were reporting extensively on the success of the Galaxy I and the Ni Yongyao behind Galaxy Communications.

In the newspapers, Ni Yongyao was portrayed as the most outstanding young entrepreneur in Hong Kong and was even called the savior of local brands.

They were practically writing about Ni Yongyao as if he were a saint.

Seeing this, Lu Qichang, who had been watching the Ni family for years, was naturally furious.

"Ni Yongyao, I will definitely put you in prison with my own hands!"

Lu Qichang said through gritted teeth.

It wasn't just his duty as a cop; it was also to avenge his good brother, Huang Zhicheng.

Huang Zhicheng had died at the Saigon pier, and the investigation results showed that the thug Pu Guang had fired the shots.

But Lu Qichang knew very well that the mastermind behind it all was Ni Yongyao.

Thinking back on what happened that day, Lu Qichang finally realized that they had all been played by Ni Yongyao.

Immediately, Lu Qichang looked at the data board, which contained a large amount of information related to the Ni family.

But none of this information was substantial enough to put Ni Yongyao in prison.

Lu Qichang had already discovered that Ni Yongyao did things flawlessly, and he couldn't find any flaws at all.

"What the hell is Luo Ji doing? It's been so long and not a single piece of useful intelligence has been sent back."

Lu Qichang shook his head helplessly when he thought of Luo Ji, the undercover agent he had planted in the Ni family.

He had thought that after three years of lurking and becoming Ni Yongxiao's bodyguard, Luo Ji would be able to successfully obtain evidence of the Ni family's crimes.

Who would have thought that after such a long time, he would still have nothing to show for it.

This forced Lu Qichang to wonder if there was something wrong with Luo Ji's ability.

"This won't do; the Ni family's power is growing, I must send another undercover agent."

Lu Qichang thought silently.

Seeing the Ni family enter the communications field and achieve huge success right from the start, Lu Qichang couldn't wait any longer.

If he delayed any longer, Lu Qichang worried that the Ni family might completely wash their hands of their past and go legitimate.

By then, it would be almost impossible to arrest Ni Yongyao.

"This time, the undercover agent must be close enough to Ni Yongyao, preferably someone who can make Ni Yongyao let his guard down."

A plan gradually emerged in Lu Qichang's mind.

Jiandong.

The Peninsula Hotel.

Super luxury suite.

"Dad, look at this, I just bought it from the mall."

A woman in her twenties held a Galaxy I in her hand and said.

The woman's name was Chen Shuting (from the TV series 'The Knockout'), from Jinghai on the Mainland.

And the 'Dad' Chen Shuting spoke of was named Chen Tai (from the TV series 'The Knockout'), also from Jinghai.

Chen Tai had great power in Jinghai and owned the massive Jianhe Group.

This trip to Hong Kong was because they had completed a major project, so he had come to Hong Kong for a vacation with his goddaughter, Chen Shuting.

"The things you young people play with, having to look at numbers and remember passwords—I have no interest."

Chen Tai glanced at the Galaxy I, and seeing it was a pager, he immediately lost interest.

Chen Tai was already middle-aged and had been exposed to pagers before, but he felt they weren't as convenient as a mobile phone, so he had discarded it after using it a few times.

"Dad, this one is different; it was just released by a Hong Kong company and can display Chinese characters."

Chen Shuting said, "This is much more convenient than foreign pagers, and look at the craftsmanship and appearance—those foreign ones can't compare at all."

As she spoke, Chen Shuting took off the pink pager clipped to her waist and threw it directly into the trash can.

That was a pager produced by Motorola, which Chen Shuting had previously loved.

But compared to the Galaxy I, it instantly became trash.

"Can display Chinese characters?"

Chen Tai took the Galaxy I, examined it for a moment, and nodded.

"But a machine like this must be much more expensive than those English-digit ones, right?"

Chen Tai asked.

"You guessed wrong there; not only is it not expensive, but it's dirt cheap—only three thousand!"

Chen Shuting said excitedly.

At this time, pagers in the Mainland were all imported, and the selling price was extremely high, with the average price even more exaggerated than in Hong Kong.

By comparison, the three-thousand-dollar Galaxy I could definitely be called dirt cheap.

"Interesting."

Chen Tai showed a surprised expression upon hearing the price.

"Dad, I also found out that the company producing the pagers is called Galaxy Communications, and this is their first product; they sold twenty thousand units just today!"

Chen Shuting said, "With such a cheap and high-quality machine, if we could get the authorization to sell it in Jinghai, we would definitely make a fortune!"

"You're dreaming; a machine this impressive—anyone with eyes can see it makes money, so why would it be your turn?"

Chen Tai snorted.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Just then, Chen Tai's mobile phone rang.

"Hello, this is Chen Tai."

Chen Tai answered the phone and said casually.

But the next moment, after hearing the words from the other end of the phone, Chen Tai's expression changed instantly.

"What's wrong, Dad? Did something happen to the group?"

After Chen Tai hung up the phone, Chen Shuting asked hurriedly.

"It has nothing to do with the group; I just received news that Galaxy Communications intends to develop the Mainland market and is looking for a capable enterprise to cooperate with."

Chen Tai said with a very complicated expression.

"That's a good thing! Dad, let me tell you, you must seize this opportunity; just in Jinghai alone, who knows how many units could be sold!"

Chen Shuting became excited upon hearing this news.

"It's a good thing, but with our strength, we don't have a chance to cooperate."

Chen Tai sighed helplessly.

With Chen Tai's vision, he could naturally see how much profit the Galaxy I could bring.

But he also had self-awareness.

The Jianhe Group was a behemoth in Jinghai, but looking at the whole country, it didn't count for much.

There were plenty of enterprises more capable than the Jianhe Group.

Under these circumstances, Chen Tai could only watch the opportunity slip away.

"How do you know we don't have a chance if we haven't tried?"

Chen Shuting frowned and said, "Anyway, I must try; otherwise, I won't be reconciled. If we don't grasp such a good opportunity, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"Even if you're not reconciled, there's nothing we can do. Compared to other companies, our disadvantages are too great. Besides, the Jianhe Group's main business isn't communications, so they're unlikely to choose us."

Chen Tai said.

"I actually think we have one advantage."

Chen Shuting suddenly thought of something and smiled cunningly: "We are already in Hong Kong, and that is our biggest advantage.
