Chapter 133

The matter was not publicized, and Wu Feng and all parties maintained a tacit silence.

Afterward, there were no more unhappy events, and even the factory expansion was approved.

Seeing that everything that needed to be handled was mostly done, he planned to return to Hong Kong in the near future.

However, before leaving, he went to Huacheng to visit the department head responsible for the placement of retired soldiers.

In the future, whether it was the Mainland factory or the one in Hong Kong, he would need to recruit a large number of retired soldiers.

Naturally, he had to give a heads-up to the relevant parties in advance, so as not to be in a rush when people were suddenly needed.

Recruiting retired soldiers through these agencies naturally provided an extra layer of security.

Clearly, the other party was quite happy with Wu Feng's visit and request, stating that they would definitely do a good job.

At this time, Wu Feng had already recruited more than two thousand retired soldiers, with over two thousand in the factories alone.

In addition, there were over a hundred retired cooks in Sai Kung helping to process pig heads.

It could be said that Wu Feng's factories were definitely "pro-military" enterprises.

Plus, Wu Feng was also from the military, so he was definitely "one of our own."

Treating one of their own, naturally, there was nothing to say.

Besides these, he also communicated with the military's digital research institution through Huacheng.

He planned to arrange the R&D of arcade motherboards to the factory laboratory in the Mainland in the future.

With the strength of the military's digital research institution, developing arcade motherboards would naturally be a piece of cake.

In Hong Kong, they only needed to provide story ideas, level design, and other design-related business.

In fact, by around 1990, many pirated arcade motherboard factories appeared in the Mainland.

Mainly because this stuff was just too profitable, and the Mainland market was too big.

After discussing these things, Wu Feng didn't stay in Huacheng for long and soon left by car.

Returning to the Pengcheng factory, he said goodbye to the factory management and Third Uncle, and returned to Hong Kong that same day.

Just after returning, he heard a bombshell: Jige had been hacked and seriously injured by his underling!

Although he had been prepared in his heart, he was still quite shocked when he first heard it.

It just so happened that Jing Kun heard he was back and took the initiative to come to Shanghai Street to welcome him, and by the way, explained the matter of Jige being hacked.

"This guy deserves it!"

When Jing Kun talked about this, his face was full of disdain, "He made a fortune doing pork scrap business with outsiders, but ended up smashing the rice bowls of his own brothers!"

"And so, a hot-tempered underling found an opportunity and hacked Jige into serious injury!"

"If it weren't for Jige's luck, or rather his first-class escape skills, escaping to the street at the critical moment, he probably would have died on the spot. Now he's still in the hospital recovering!"

"What does Jiang Tiansheng say?"

Wu Feng was very curious, "Although Jige's way of doing things wasn't right, an underling hacking their boss is a major taboo in the underworld!"

The hierarchy within the society was quite strict, and they were very vigilant about such acts of insubordination.

"What else can he do? Deal with it according to society rules!"

Jing Kun looked indifferent and smiled, "Jige has suffered a huge loss this time. It's hard to say if he can even keep his position as the Sai Kung Hall Master!"

"Didn't he survive?"

Wu Feng asked curiously, "Jiang Tiansheng can't just take away his position as Hall Master, right?"

"The key is that this matter is too shameful!"

Jing Kun said maliciously, "As a boss, if you can't even control your underlings, how can you lead them in the future?"

"Even if Jige can get through this, he will be marginalized in the society from now on!"

"With him like this, who would still look up to him?"

"What about the brothers in Sai Kung? You have to keep them satisfied, right?"

Wu Feng's heart stirred when he said this, and he couldn't help but smile, "It seems this matter is going to fall on me!"

"I guess so too!"

Jing Kun agreed, "You kid can provide cheap pork scraps. If the society brothers in Sai Kung want to do the pork trotter rice business, they really have to count on you!"

"What about Jige's partners? What price did they give Jige?"

Wu Feng asked curiously, "No matter what, you can't leave the brothers with no way to make a living, right?"

"Eighteen dollars a catty, just a few dollars less than the normal price at the vegetable market!"

Jing Kun sneered, "You know Jige's personality, but I know it very well!"

"He's obsessed with money. With such a high price, how could he possibly give any profit to his brothers?"

"This matter is such a mess..."

Wu Feng shook his head, not knowing how to comment.

"Forget it, let's not talk about Jige. Was your trip to the Mainland smooth?"

Jing Kun took the initiative to change the subject, curious, "Do you need my help?"

"No need!"

Wu Feng waved his hand and smiled, "It was very smooth, and I'm preparing to expand the factory scale again!"

"The scale of the premium A-grade goods business is so big, aren't you afraid of any accidents?"

"I'm not afraid, but Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin are much more nervous than me!"

Wu Feng laughed, "The two of them have earned much more from this business than I have!"

"Sigh, if I had known, I would have gone to play the smuggling business too!"

Jing Kun said enviously, "Now the two of them must be big tycoons!"

"What's there to envy? The risk of this business is not small. You'd better honestly shoot your movies!"

"Speaking of movies, I'm about to take the film of 'Guyuzai 2' to Venice. Are you sure you're not going?"

"Why would I go? I can't help much, though I do have some channels in the United States!"

"Forget it, Venice isn't a den of tigers, and I wasn't raised on vegetables!"

"Right, that's the good attitude to have. Don't be cowardly when facing foreigners!"

"Get lost, am I that kind of person? I don't know how many foreign girls I've been with!"

Wu Feng didn't say anything more, just scanned the guy's not-so-strong body with his eyes. The meaning was self-evident: any man would explode.

Sure enough, Jing Kun exploded on the spot, "What kind of look is that? I'm very powerful!"

This guy was also a strange one. Who knows what his kidneys were like at this point? Yet he had female companions by his side every day and often changed types.

If he kept going like this, it probably wouldn't be long before Viagra came out and wouldn't even work for him.

After the meal, he directly angered Jing Kun away.

Wu Feng didn't feel any sense of estrangement after being away for half a month, easily slipping back into the state of a society boss.

Not long after, Jiang Tiansheng called.

He was talking about Jige, hoping that Wu Feng could continue to provide cheap pork scraps to the society brothers in Sai Kung, as those guys were currently full of resentment.

"No problem!"

Wu Feng agreed directly, smiling, "But this time, it can't go through Jige's hands!"

"That's for sure!"

Jiang Tiansheng understood in a second and smiled, "Just communicate directly with the Sai Kung society big shots!"

Wu Feng smiled slightly. Even if Jige could regain his position as Sai Kung Hall Master, his prestige would be lost, and it was hard to say if any underlings would still listen to him.

"Afeng, how is the situation at the Mainland factory?"

After finishing the matter of Jige, Jiang Tiansheng changed the subject and asked directly about the Mainland factory.

"We've started expanding the scale and plan to continue increasing production capacity!"

Wu Feng asked back with a smile, "Jiang Sheng, can you handle it on your end?"

"No problem!"

Jiang Tiansheng answered quite readily, "Afeng, you don't know, the market in Europe and America is huge!"

"That's settled!"

Wu Feng didn't talk nonsense and said directly, "Once the production capacity in the Mainland is up, Jiang Sheng, don't drop the ball!"

After chatting with Jiang Tiansheng, he called Sai Kung: let them send a refrigerated truck and deliver a batch of goods to Sai Kung according to the previous practice.

After arranging everything, Wu Feng finally felt completely relaxed.

At this time, his close underling reported: his three big shots—Red Pole Zhang Yong, White Paper Fan Wang Zhi, and Straw Sandal Li Xin—had all arrived and were waiting outside the office.

"Let them in!"

Wu Feng greeted them, and when he saw the three, he couldn't help but smile, "Looking at your complexions, you've been living well lately!"

"Thanks to the boss, life has been smooth lately, and we haven't encountered any trouble!"

Li Xin said with a smile, "The pork trotter rice business in Macau is already underway. We'll need the boss to allocate a portion of the pork scrap quota!"

"So fast?"

Wu Feng was a bit surprised and curious, "Tell me, how did you manage that?"

"I got lucky and made contact with the Shuifang boss in Macau, and things went smoothly!"

Li Xin said happily, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly; it was really luck!"

"As long as it's done, you must maintain and manage it well in the future!"

Wu Feng smiled lightly, looked at White Paper Fan Wang Zhi, and asked, "How is the finance company doing? No accidents, right?"

"The finance company is all normal!"

Wang Zhi hesitated, "Income is stable without much deviation, but with such stable cash flow, it's a pity not to lend it out!"

"Pity my ass!"

Wu Feng said angrily, "You know my temper; I don't want to say it a second time!"

The so-called finance company was opened after he became the Hong Yi Hall Master to manage the society's income, specifically managing this stable revenue.

At Wu Feng's request, the finance company didn't do lending business but invested all funds in buying buildings and storefronts.

Wang Zhi was a very good White Paper Fan and also came from the Mainland when he was young.

It was said that he had good grades in school, but later dropped out due to family changes and became a Blue Lantern.

With the opportunity of Wu Feng's rise, he also made a name for himself, mainly because his mind was flexible and he had many ideas.

There were many brutes in the society, but not many with sharp minds.

Wu Feng valued his ability highly, and after he was promoted to White Paper Fan, he was put in charge of the finance company Wu Feng had started.

It was just that in Wu Feng's feeling, this kid had no bottom line in doing things and always wanted to expand the finance company's business, almost all of which were things Wu Feng didn't allow.
