Chapter 27: Red Letter Group Initially Formed

The third day.

At the TVB entrance,

Li Xin shook hands with Boss Shao and said goodbye.

In the car, Li Xin and Huang Dawen were chatting, 'Uncle Wen, I really troubled you today.'

Huang Dawen waved his hand nonchalantly, 'What trouble? I'm taking money.' He then curiously asked, 'Where did you get a hundred million cash?'

"Mr. Jiang, using the theater line as collateral, one-year term, twenty percent interest.

Huang Dawen nodded, indicating understanding, 'Getting something for nothing, you little brat.'

After saying that, he still pointed at him with his finger.

Li Xin shamelessly explained:

"You can't say that, I am paying interest, right?"

At first Mr. Jiang said he'd give me a bridge loan without interest, but I'm very particular—even brothers settle accounts clearly, so how could I not pay interest?

And, under my strong insistence, they gave twenty points of interest.

After saying that, he further remarked:

"Being a person, you need to have propriety; you can't take others' kindness toward you for granted, right?"

Huang Dawen patted his shoulder:

"You little brat, you've really managed to make the film and TV company look proper in this period, and you even have your own theater line—this time you've completely solidified the foundation!

"As long as you shoot a few blockbusters like the Young and Dangerous series, you'll firmly establish yourself in the film and TV industry!

……

Returning to the Causeway Bay company, he directly summoned all the managers to the office.

Li Xin saw everyone was present and directly spoke:

"Today all the company managers are here, so let's settle the titles.

Everyone focused, wondering what position they'd be assigned.

"Security company.

The company headquarters and training base are set in Xi Gong.

Security company manager Chen Chao.

Deputy manager Wang Jianjun.

The two stood up and nodded to everyone.

Yes, that's right, Brother Wang Jianjun is Chen Chao's comrade-in-arms.

Li Xin pressed his hand down and continued: 'Security company, ordinary security personnel during training earn a monthly salary of three thousand, and take commissions on missions. Any objections?'

The two stood up and loudly replied:

"No problem.

"Real estate agency.

Li Jiayuan (Jimi) serves as manager, fully responsible for company affairs.

Jimi likewise stood up and greeted everyone.

"Taxi company.

Liu Hui (Hua She) serves as manager, fully responsible for company affairs.

After Liu Hui finished greeting,

Li Xin then continued:

"The film company is personally managed by me, with independent financial accounting, monthly audited by the headquarters, and Qiuti serves as the headquarters' financial director.

"The subsidiary will set up a ten percent equity pool, which is a reward for management personnel.

"This equity will be unlocked after ten years and belong to the individual; in other words, even if you're not working then, you can still receive the equity.

"Ten percent of the free shares' dividend rights constitute the year-end red envelope bonus for all subsidiary staff.

"How much you can get depends on yourselves—the better the performance, the more you receive.

After saying that, Li Xin stood up and loudly said:

"Brothers, the rewards are placed there; I'm waiting for you all to become millionaires, ten-millionaires, hundred-millionaires.

"As long as you develop the company, the more you can earn; keep it up! Meeting adjourned.

Everyone else left, leaving only Chen Chao and Wang Jianjun behind.

Chen Chao asked somewhat embarrassedly:

"Boss, everything else is fine, but where are we supposed to get business?

Li Xin didn't think much of it and just blurted out:

"You say if a wealthy person gets kidnapped, you unintentionally rescue them due to your training—could that build a reputation?

"Don't be so rigid in business—if there's no business, create it yourself!

Seeing the two's dumbfounded looks, he angrily scolded:

"If you don't create business yourself, who the hell is sick? Go to Xi Gong to look for bodyguards?

"Also, do you know what the airborne model is?

Wang Jianjun immediately replied:

"I know, boss, it's not unusual; a while ago I even took people to Thailand to help the Big Circle with some matters, but it didn't make much money, right?

"Um, yeah, going out on business now really doesn't cost much—just eighty thousand per person for travel expenses! If guns are involved, you can add a bit.

Li Xin said in frustration:

"Knowing the airborne model, couldn't we expand a bit? Go to Thailand and Ao Island to establish two strongholds, spend money to build connections, and obtain the security company license.

The three places can exchange business, eh! He ties you to rescue, you tie him to rescue—this way wouldn't we all have business? Blockhead!

That's how it was in the 1980s—countries weren't strict in approving security companies; as long as the funds were in place, you could get the license.

By the 1990s it wasn't so easy anymore; countries would strictly vet security companies.

Now you'd better hurry up and apply for the licence and gun permit, or it'll be tough later!

The two left in a daze; today they finally gained a new understanding of the boss's business methods—turns out business could be done like this!

Quite an eye‑opener!

Since the boss gave the order, hurry back and contact the old comrades; the boss said to keep a strength of three hundred: 150 on Gangdao, and 75 each in Thai Country and Ao Island—this will be the size from now on.

Gangdao has many wealthy people, so a security company can really thrive; keeping a strength of 150 is enough.

Why does Li Xin set up security companies in Thai Country and Ao Island?

Isn't this obvious?

Putting all my gunmen out in the open is just to reassure everyone—look, my gunmen have surfaced, they only want self‑defense, so you can all relax.

When the need arises, a crack squad of gunmen suddenly appears, finishes the job, and vanishes.

Isn't that a pleasant surprise?

Isn't that unexpected?

No matter what he does, he always leaves himself a back‑up; whether to use it is one thing, whether he has it is another.

All the societies think the same—that the Criminal Hall only enforces family law internally, right?

Naive!

When a society's gang leader takes power, if he can't get real authority in the Criminal Hall, it's easy for him to be taken out.

For example, my old‑time Kun Ge from the movies is a perfect example—such a big gang leader, schemed against by a few petty punks, this is downright child's play!

A big society's gang leader always has at least four gunmen protecting him, the kind who can shoot and take the blame at any moment.

My Kun Ge has not a single hair around him—even his close‑in lackeys have turned against him!

This proves he never held any real power in the society—he's just a figurehead, bowing out when needed and ignored otherwise.

After settling the company's affairs, Li Xin grew leisurely again, leaving professional matters to the professionals—he knows his own limits.

All he's waiting for is Han Bin's return, then he'll rush back to his hometown to go stake a claim.

He's finished studying the Shen Cheng map, picked the address, knows exactly how much land he needs, and has sorted out the funds by category.

It's really not a small amount—excluding loose change, he has over 620 million in thousand‑unit Big Gold Bulls, and close to 100 million in five‑hundred‑unit Big Bulls.

Everything's ready—just waiting for Han Bin.
