Chapter 140: Aftermath Ripples (Please subscribe)

The second son of the Lin family returned home with a bad mood.

"How is it, is it negotiated?"

Lin Bancheng happened to be at home, and seeing his youngest son, he said directly, "For such things, just let the company manager go once; you have to go to ATV to talk yourself!"

"I guess Qiu Degen will raise the price!"

The tone was quite affirmative; as an old-school big businessman, he naturally understood the big tycoons at the same level quite well.

"Didn't negotiate!"

Lin Ershao shook his head, "Qiu Degen said that someone had already reached a purchase agreement with him one step ahead!"

"Oh, that is to say, it's just a signed agreement, and it hasn't officially taken effect yet!"

Lin Bancheng was stunned first, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a shrewd expression.

"That's right!"

Lin Ershao admired, "Qiu Degen said so. It is estimated that the other party had difficulty taking out hundreds of millions of funds at once, so they didn't sign the contract directly to take over ATV!"

"Then did you find out who the person who wanted to buy ATV is?"

Lin Bancheng asked, "If it's an acquaintance, the Lin family will at most be a shareholder, and you should also extinguish the idea of being the chairman of ATV and honestly go to work for the family business!"

"Didn't find out, Qiu Degen's mouth is very tight!"

Lin Ershao shook his head, helplessly, "Even not knowing the opponent, it's really uncomfortable!"

"Then wait!"

Lin Bancheng's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said leisurely, "Don't worry, the other party will always show up!"

"That's all it can be!"

Lin Ershao said unwillingly, "It's really bad luck to encounter such a thing!"

"Have you read the newspaper "Night Color"?"

Lin Bancheng didn't entangle in this matter and directly changed the topic, "I heard it's very popular with young people!"

"Read it!"

Lin Ershao nodded, "This newspaper labels itself as fashion trend, it really has some meaning!"

In front of his own father, he naturally wouldn't say that he just looked at beautiful women and didn't think much about it.

As a super rich second generation, vulgar magazines like "Dragon Tiger Leopard" didn't attract much of his interest. He had met many top beauties as friends and was an old driver who had long been baptized by beauty.

On the contrary, the beautiful photos published in "Night Color," where beautiful women with different styles and temperaments were revealed, were slightly attractive to him.

The trendy clothes worn in those beautiful photos were indeed trendy enough, and sometimes he felt his eyes light up when he saw them.

"I heard that the trendy clothes worn in the newspaper sell quite well!"

Lin Bancheng affirmed, "I have also read a few glances, it is indeed trendy enough!"

"Dad, do you mean you want to buy the "Night Color" newspaper?"

Lin Ershao shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that easy!"

People are doing business well, why sell it to you?

Even if Lin Bancheng couldn't do it, would he spend more money?

Based on his understanding of his father, it was clear that he wouldn't do so.

"Hehe, let's talk about it first!"

Lin Bancheng didn't care and said lightly, "Even if we can't talk about it, we can also create such a newspaper; it won't cost much money!"

Lin Ershao's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, "This idea is really good!"

He was a bit eager to move at this time, wanting to take charge of such a newspaper personally.

Thinking of all kinds of beautiful women on the newspaper, his heart was a burst of excitement.

Why was he interested in the entertainment circle? Wasn't it because there were many beautiful women in it?

With the star halo, making friends felt more interesting.

"This matter, do you do it or let others do it?"

Lin Bancheng smiled lightly, "In addition, it is best to find out the mysterious person who bought ATV!"

"I will do it personally, don't worry!"

Lin Ershao was full of confidence, "I believe it won't be long before good news comes!"

"Don't just play!"

Lin Bancheng reminded, "It's best to figure out the linkage mode between that newspaper and the corresponding small garment factory!"

"That small garment factory also has merits; almost every month it can produce a set of popular clothing!"

"It's not just copying the popular styles from Europe and America; you must pay special attention to this point!"

"There are already enough clothing merchants in Hong Kong; I don't want to have another competitive one!"

"No way, Dad, do you think that small garment factory has the possibility of developing and growing?"

Lin Ershao was shocked, not believing, "Anyway, I don't believe it!"

"Hehe, then you observe carefully, don't let me down!"

Lin Bancheng didn't explain much and waved his hand, "Remember, do it beautifully!"

He naturally wouldn't tell his youngest son that the company had already conducted a detailed investigation into the small garment factory before.

The investigation results also made him a bit confused; he didn't understand which clothing designer produced the trendy clothing every month, and he couldn't find that person's figure at all.

In fact, the investigation report showed that although the small garment factory was small, the output was not small!

The street stalls and shops in Mong Kok were full of trendy clothing produced by it, and the monthly sales volume was not low.

Not only that, it seemed that the territory of the Hongxing triad had trendy clothing produced by the small garment factory for sale.

It just never entered large shopping malls, looking like the style was not enough.

But the investigation results showed that these clothing were extremely popular with teenagers and young groups.

Of course, this was just a small matter for Lin Bancheng.

What truly gave him a headache was that the sales volume of clothing in overseas markets had been decreasing in the past few months.

For this, he was really a bit confused and didn't know what was going on.

Because of the quota system of the Hong Kong British government, the clothing business of the Lin Bancheng family had actually reached the peak at this time, and it was basically impossible to go further.

It was also because of this that the clothing produced by Lin Bancheng's factory had stabilized in foreign sales.

Basically, there would not be a big fluctuation, but the current situation seemed very inappropriate.

This matter must be investigated clearly; otherwise, he would not be at peace in his heart.

Wu Feng didn't know that his small garment factory and "Night Color" newspaper had attracted Lin Bancheng's attention and had a significant acquisition intention.

In addition, through the cooperation between Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin, they transported a large amount of premium A-grade goods to major economies around the world, unintentionally affecting the clothing business of Lin Bancheng's factory overseas.

Even if he knew, he definitely wouldn't care.

Fortunately, Qiu Degen still had some business reputation and didn't expose his identity.

Otherwise, with Lin Ershao's temper, I'm afraid the phone would have been called long ago.

What he had to do now was to create obstacles for Lin Ershao, making him lose interest in taking charge of ATV, or have no time and energy to put on ATV in a short time.

As for directly facing Lin Bancheng, it wouldn't be a big deal if it really came to that.

But wanting to detonate a big tycoon with ten billion assets was not such an easy thing.

Just after leaving the ATV building by car, Chen Yao's phone call came.

"Oh, a temporary meeting at the general headquarters? Then I'll go over now!"

Hanging up the phone, he signaled the driver to head to the Hongxing headquarters, but he was muttering in his heart.

Recently, I haven't heard of any major Jianghu events; why call everyone to a meeting so urgently?

When he arrived, Jiang Tiansheng was waiting there rarely.

Many Hall Masters didn't have too much pleasantries and looked directly at Jiang Tiansheng.

"Suddenly calling everyone over, things are a bit urgent!"

Jiang Tiansheng didn't be polite and said directly, "A major stock market crash just broke out, everyone is clear!"

"Some big bosses' capital chains have problems, and the projects under construction have naturally been affected quite a bit!"

"Several big bosses called to want to temporarily terminate cooperation with us!"

"I roughly calculated that at least five or six construction sites will have problems!"

"Our Hongxing is afraid that thousands of brothers who rely on construction sites to earn money will have no work to do; this is a big deal!"

This remark caused shock among the Hall Masters present; it was indeed a big deal.

Thousands of strong underlings had no work to do and no money to earn; it was easy to have big trouble.

Especially those Hall Masters who specialized in contracting construction sites had very ugly faces.

Before, they didn't pay attention, but now they reacted; no wonder the atmosphere was a bit depressing when they entered the door.

Wu Feng could only express sympathy for this.

Of course, he knew that the impact of the stock market crash would pass soon, and the development speed of Hong Kong would only get faster and faster.

As long as they survived this difficult time, it would be fine!

He also knew that wanting a group of triad members to have such awareness was wishful thinking.

In order to make money to eat, I'm afraid there would be a considerable degree of chaos.

"Jiang, what do you think we should do?"

Liang Kun, who was sitting next to Wu Feng, asked with an increasingly hoarse voice, "Why not directly grab the territory of other triads to let the brothers have a bite to eat?"

"Liang Kun, you are talking without back pain!"

The Kwun Tong Hall Master said unceremoniously, "Our Hongxing's foundation is still okay. Before, A Feng created premium A-grade goods and pork trotter rice business, so many bottom-level underlings had a bite to eat!"

"The situation of other first-class triads will only be worse; they are afraid that they want the Jianghu to be chaotic!"

"Except for Tuen Mun and Sai Kung, which of our hall's territories is not a prosperous region with dense population? I'm afraid it has long attracted the jealousy of other triads!"

Speaking of which, this wave of stock market crash had the greatest impact on Kwun Tong.

Kwun Tong was a famous industrial zone in Hong Kong, and many bosses went bankrupt directly because of the stock market crash.

I heard that the finance company under the Kwun Tong Hall had a lot of bad debts.

Several other Hall Masters who had engineering teams under their hands and were directly affected also expressed opposition.

The situation at the construction site was just temporary; once the big boss behind the scenes recovered, they would continue to build, and that was when they would play a role and make a lot of money.

"Heh, you guys, think of your own ideas!"

Liang Kun felt a bit embarrassed and rolled his eyes unceremoniously, speaking without any politeness.

He was a film tycoon now; did they know what kind of quality and weight this was?

He had completely walked a different path from the rest of the Hall Masters except Wu Feng.

Even if he quit Hongxing at this time and was no longer a Mong Kok Hall Master, he was still a successful film businessman famous in Hong Kong; that was how confident he was.
