Chapter 450: Being Sold and Still Helping Count the Money

A roar sounded as a motorcycle stopped at a stall. Seeing the man get off the motorcycle, the people eating nearby glanced at him and then withdrew their gazes.

Aside from those famous gangs, Hong Kong has countless other large and small gangs. Out of Hong Kong's three million people, over one-fifth are nominally gang members.

Some are true gang members, while others just mingle among them seeking self-preservation, because if you don't join one gang, you will be bullied by another. It is an undeniable fact that Hong Kong's public security is not very good right now, and for various reasons, there are many people mingling in gangs.

The man who just got off the motorcycle was burly and carried a distinct gang aura, so the people eating naturally wouldn't look for trouble.

"Qing Zai!"

At this moment, a man sitting in the corner of the stall waved at Zhang Tianqing.

Zhang Wenqing tightened his clothes. After walking over and looking at the man in front of him carefully for a long time, he finally recognized him.

"Young Master Zhao?"

Zhang Wenqing knew that the person who called him was Zhao Shinan, and he knew that Zhao Shinan was somewhat down on his luck, but looking at the person in front of him, he didn't expect him to be this destitute.

Although people in gangs don't care about trifles, he could smell the sour stench on Zhao Shinan from several steps away. However, thinking of the purpose of his visit today, Zhang Wenqing gritted his teeth and sat down. "Young Master Zhao, I don't know what kind of fortune-making path you have?"

This time, Zhao Shinan called Zhang Wenqing to say there was a big business deal to cooperate with him on.

Zhang Wenqing's current gang is not big, managing a few venues. Otherwise, with Zhang Wenqing's skills, he might have earned a title like "Red Flower Double Pole."

But right now, Hong Kong gangs seem noisy, yet the fighting and turf grabbing are not intense; they are mostly in a wait-and-see mode. Zhang Wenqing also heard that several big figures in gangs have already moved their bases overseas.

Being in a gang is no longer a way out. Although no one has explicitly said it yet, Zhang Wenqing has already felt it: no matter which gang, they are all just trying to make money now. The old ways of showing off bravery and ruthlessness are no longer popular.

Zhang Wenqing came this time, on one hand, to see what Zhao Shinan's big business is. If he can do it, he will; if not, he will just fleece Zhao Shinan!

Expecting someone in a gang to have a kind heart? Zhang Wenqing felt that the Zhao family, as a former 600 million HKD family, no matter how destitute, could still be squeezed for some oil, which is definitely more than what he earns managing venues.

"It's not a fortune. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Zhao!" Zhao Shinan said with a hint of depression.

"Brother Zhao!"

No matter what Zhang Wenqing called him, he suppressed his temper and poured a glass of wine for Zhao Shinan. "Please, Brother Zhao, point out a clear path!"

"Slap!"

Zhao Shinan threw a newspaper on the table and pointed to a picture on the cover. "This!"

Zhang Wenqing looked at the newspaper, completely confused, not knowing what Zhao Shinan was up to.

"Qing Zai, you know the money I have on hand has been frozen by the bank, so I can't give you much, but..."

Zhao Shinan lowered his voice. "As long as you help me pull off this job and kidnap the guy above, you can have as many HKD as you want!"

"Zhao, are you playing me for a fool!" Zhang Wenqing was furious after hearing this. He felt Zhao Shinan was just playing him. He stood up, ready to give Zhao Shinan a few punches to wake him up.

Seeing Zhang Wenqing's raised fist, Zhao Shinan hurriedly said, "Brother Qing, how would I dare to play you for a fool!"

"Do you know who he is? One of the top twenty richest people in Asia. Did you see the news today? Ning Wenge became the Queen of Asian Telecommunications, and it was he who supported her from behind!"

Zhang Wenqing glanced at the newspaper, and his raised fist slowly lowered. Then, looking at Zhao Shinan in front of him, he felt he really wasn't joking.

"You mean you want to kidnap him?" Zhang Wenqing asked Zhao Shinan.

Zhao Shinan's tone was excited. "As long as you bring a few brothers, after we finish this job and get a few hundred million HKD, won't we be able to go wherever we want?!"

After finishing, Zhao Shinan looked at Zhang Wenqing expectantly. Zhang Wenqing frowned. It's true he's in a gang, but being in a gang and being a desperate bandit are two completely different things. No matter how good your fists are, they are useless against bullets.

According to Zhao Shinan, Li Dongling's foundation in Hong Kong is still shallow. As long as Zhang Wenqing gathers manpower, and he is responsible for scouting Li Dongling's whereabouts and planning, they could kidnap the person. At that time, how much money could they not get?

Various thoughts flashed through Zhang Wenqing's mind. Suddenly, a thought popped up, and he said to Zhao Shinan, "Brother Zhao, you just said this Li Dongling has deep roots in the mainland?"

"Yes, but so what? The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Hong Kong hasn't returned yet, and the mainland can't control Hong Kong. As long as we do this job, we'll fly far away!" Zhao Shinan said disdainfully.

Zhang Wenqing glanced at him, then gulped down a large mouthful of wine. "Let's do it!"

"I knew I didn't misjudge you!"

Zhao Shinan was overjoyed. "In these two days, find the manpower as soon as possible. Once I scout out the news, we'll act immediately!"

After clinking wine bottles, Zhao Shinan hurried away. Until Zhao Shinan's figure disappeared, Zhang Wenqing spat. "What kind of thing is he, daring to use me as a gun? If I really wanted to kidnap someone, would I need to be your subordinate!"

Zhang Wenqing thought for a long time, recalling the current situation of his gang. His gang leader had already immigrated to Canada with his whole family. What kind of future did the gang have?

As for doing this job with Zhao Shinan, Zhang Wenqing didn't know if he would have the life to get the money. Even if he did, whether he would have the life to spend it was another matter!

Looking a few times in the direction Zhao Shinan left, Zhang Wenqing gritted his teeth, got up, rode his motorcycle, and headed toward the hotel where Digital Port was holding its celebration banquet today. He was prepared to gamble his rotten life!

"To the Queen of Hong Kong Telecom!"

Inside the hotel where Digital Port held its celebration banquet, celebrities were gathered. This banquet was hosted with the help of Liang Botao. Peregrine also wanted to use this banquet to tell the celebrities of Hong Kong that Digital Port's entry into the board of Hong Kong Telecom this time was also operated by Peregrine, which was equivalent to a big advertisement.

With Digital Port's momentum and Peregrine's connections, today's celebration banquet was naturally bustling with celebrities. Several giant companies in Hong Kong sent people to show their support. The Ning family had basically stepped into the ranks of Hong Kong's top wealthy families with one foot.

If they could acquire the controlling stake of Hong Kong Telecom, they would completely step into the ranks of Hong Kong's top wealthy families, becoming an existence on the same level as the Li family of Cheung Kong, the Cheng family of New World, and the Lee Kum Kee Group.

Although they hadn't stepped into the ranks of top wealthy families yet, many people in Hong Kong wanted to befriend the Ning family, whose wealth and status had soared in recent years. Of course, they also hoped to befriend the person behind the Ning family.

Li Dongling, along with Jin Xianhui, Liang Botao, and others, raised their glasses to Ning Wenge, who was attending in a black evening gown.

"I am very happy that everyone could come to the Digital Port company banquet!"

On stage, Ning Wenge raised the microphone and said to the celebrities of Hong Kong, "Here, on behalf of the Ning Trading Company and Digital Port company, I would like to thank all the supporters. In addition, I would like to thank..."

When Ning Wenge said this, her gaze couldn't help but glance in Li Dongling's direction. Many people present also looked toward Li Dongling. Several Hong Kong actresses who had entered looked at Li Dongling with extremely fiery gazes.

"Thanks to the support of Dongling High-Tech. The Ning family will always stand with Dongling High-Tech!"

A huge round of applause erupted at the scene. Today, Ning Wenge basically made her stance clear, publicly stating that the Ning family's future would stand with Dongling High-Tech.

"Li Sheng, I have always been very interested in the mainland. I wonder if I am lucky enough to tour the scenery of the mainland with you, Li Sheng?"

"Li Sheng, why don't we have a meal together tomorrow?"

"I have always been paying attention to you, Li Sheng, in Hong Kong. I wonder if you are interested in scripts? Later, I would like to ask you, Li Sheng, to give me some pointers on my acting. Do you like period dramas or..."

After the banquet started, Li Dongling was surrounded by a group of Hong Kong actresses and models. Some were more reserved, wanting to get to know Li Dongling to see if they could get resources from him later to invest in the movies or TV series they were filming.

Others were much bolder, inviting Li Dongling to the hotel later to discuss scripts and life with them.

It was really because, looking at how the Hong Kong gossip tabloids reported on Digital Port, they claimed that Li Dongling was "risking everything for a beauty," spending 2.3 billion USD for Ning Wenge to enter the board of Hong Kong Telecom.

Who knew if this was nonsense, but they couldn't resist the reports of the gossip media. Today, this group of Hong Kong actresses also knew it was unlikely to be true, but what if? If they could get involved with Li Dongling and have some kind of relationship, and get resources, their lives would be completely changed! ===== CHAPTER 451 =====
