Chapter 146: A Surprise! (Please Subscribe)

A light, airy sentence, yet it caused Lin Dashao's movement of rising to stall.

He subconsciously looked at the smiling Wu Feng and said in a deep voice, "Wusheng, what do you mean by that?"

As someone who prided himself on being a businessman, he had naturally heard of the suddenly prominent VTech Group Company.

Relying on a few developed Arcade Games, it had reached a peak monthly income of thirty million, attracting much attention in the Hong Kong business circle for a time.

It is said that VTech Group Company, relying on those few hit Arcade Games, might have total earnings exceeding two hundred million!

At this moment, Wu Feng suddenly mentioning arcade machines naturally piqued Lin Dashao's interest.

"The three hit Arcade Games developed by VTech Group Company were all stories provided by me!"

Wu Feng spoke slowly, but the words he said were quite astonishing: "Furthermore, the initial capital for them to develop the three Arcade Games was also invested by me!"

"What you said, is it true?"

Lin Dashao widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and exclaimed, "Then you and VTech Group Company..."

"We are in a cooperative relationship, with a fifty-fifty split of the profits!"

A touch of pride appeared on Wu Feng's face as he said leisurely, "Also, the copyrights for the three Arcade Games are all in my hands. Is it a surprise, is it unexpected?"

It was indeed a surprise, and it was indeed quite unexpected!

Lin Dashao's spirit could not help but become somewhat excited, and he asked directly, "Does Wusheng mean that you want to support my rise through the arcade business?"

"Exactly!"

Wu Feng nodded in acknowledgment, then said candidly, "The three Arcade Games are indeed hits, but they can only be sold on a large scale in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Chinese regions of Southeast Asia!"

"Even the Japan and South Korea markets have only seen small-scale entry!"

"As for Australia, as well as Europe and Canada, there is still no sign of them!"

"Does Wusheng mean you want me to sell the three arcade machines to Australia, Europe, and Canada?"

Lin Dashao suddenly understood and asked curiously, "What about the United States?"

"If Lin-sheng can open up the United States market, I will naturally support you with all my might!"

Wu Feng smiled, thinking to himself that he wasn't afraid of the other party having big ambitions, only that he had no ambition at all.

"According to the information I've gathered, the selling price of a hit arcade machine in the United States ranges from fifteen thousand to twenty-five thousand, depending on whether Lin-sheng has the ability to sell them over there—all in Dollars!"

He paused here and said slowly, "Even if we only sell them for eight thousand Dollars each, it would be a huge profit for us. Is Lin-sheng interested?"

"Then how will the profits be distributed?"

Lin Dashao was completely tempted; at this point, he had already bypassed the process of agreeing or not and entered the most critical execution stage, his heart already too excited to contain itself.

If he pulled off this business, he could instantly have several hundred million in cash flow in his hands.

Once that happened, he wouldn't need to look at his old man's face to make a living.

Did people think he wanted to live so miserably? It was just because he had no other choice.

"Just follow the price here in Hong Kong!"

Wu Feng said with a smile, "Fifteen thousand Hong Kong Dollars per arcade machine. As for where Lin-sheng transports them to sell, or what kind of price you sell them for, I don't care!"

"Really?"

At this, Lin Dashao was truly excited and confirmed repeatedly, "Wusheng isn't trying to trick me, are you!"

"Do I look like I have that much free time?"

Wu Feng retorted, "As for why I am so generous, isn't it because I have no way to sell the arcade machines over there?"

"The connections and channels are all in Lin-sheng's hands, so how to operate once you leave Hong Kong is Lin-sheng's own business. I don't want to get involved and I'm too lazy to get involved!"

What is called a win-win? This is a win-win!

He had achieved the goal of supporting Lin Dashao to disgust Lin Ershao, completed a business deal estimated to be quite considerable, so what else was there to say?

"Then it's a deal!"

Lin Dashao stood up directly and said happily, "I'll go prepare right now!"

"Lin-sheng, it would be best to open a trading company that has absolutely nothing to do with your old man's Group Company!"

Wu Feng reminded him, "Otherwise, even if the business makes money, whether it can end up in your own pocket in the end is hard to say!"

Lin Dashao's face changed between green and red, and finally, he turned and left without a word.

Wu Feng grinned and chuckled silently, believing that Lin Dashao would give Lin Ershao a huge 'surprise'.

Lin Ershao's mood recently had not been very pleasant.

Mainly, every time he thought of the teacup swept to the ground by Wu Feng, his mood would flare up for no reason.

When his mood was low, he naturally had no interest in doing anything.

Although he heard his old man's assistant state that this fellow Wu Feng had already been taught a lesson, he was still unsatisfied.

According to his thinking, it would be best to catch Wu Feng's mistake and send him directly to Stanley Prison for a few years of further education.

Although his old man's assistant wouldn't agree, he still used some connections privately to stir up trouble.

But who could tell him why a Big Brother of a triad had absolutely no criminal record at the police station!

Even novels wouldn't dare write it like this!

If a TV series had such a plot, the screenwriter would definitely be scolded as an idiot by the audience.

Yet, such a thing had happened in reality, which was quite absurd.

Not only that, he wanted to use his connections to mess with Wu Feng, but he encountered great obstacles.

The Yau Tsim Mong District Councilor and some District Government Officials were not happy about such things happening.

After all, Lin Ershao was not Lin Baiyi; having encountered such a thing, it was not easy to continue.

This day, he had just returned home when he was caught by his mother.

"All you know is running around outside all day, you don't even know what's happening at home!"

His mother was very dissatisfied and complained, "Do you know about the recent actions of that cheap older brother of yours?"

"My big brother?"

Lin Ershao was a bit dazed, shaking his head as he said, "I've had other things to deal with lately, how would I have the time to pay attention to Big Brother?"

Besides, he didn't believe that big brother of his could stir up any trouble.

If he really had any ability, would he still need to take money from home at fifty years old?

"You, you don't even know what the main point is!"

His mother was quite displeased and said directly, "That big brother of yours, I don't know what kind of madness he's caught lately, he suddenly set up an International Trading Company, and it's not even registered under the Group Company!"

"So my big brother has found a way to make money?"

Lin Ershao was somewhat surprised, then shook his head and said, "Impossible. The profitable channels in Hong Kong are all tightly controlled by the Red Mansion tycoons; where would there be any gaps for Big Brother to exploit?"

Seeing his mother remained dissatisfied, he could only patiently explain, "Our family's situation is no secret in the tycoon circle, so Mother, you don't need to worry about outsiders supporting Big Brother!"

"If that were really the case, it would be a direct interference in our family affairs, and Father would certainly not sit idly by!"

He was very confident in his judgment; Hong Kong is neither big nor small.

Everyone basically has an idea of the situation in the households of other Red Mansion tycoons of the same level of strength.

Even if there are disputes in the business world, they wouldn't spill over to family members, otherwise, the rules would be broken.

He really didn't believe his big brother could stir up any commotion.

He even had a bit of a thought of wanting to see a joke, hoping his big brother would take a big tumble.

That way, he and his mother could join forces to keep his big brother sidelined.

"I don't care!"

His mother's attitude was firm, and she said directly, "You cannot give that cheap big brother of yours the slightest opportunity!"

"Understood, understood, I'll go and get the situation cleared up right now!"

Lin Ershao was helpless and could only soothe his somewhat agitated mother first.

In fact, when he turned back, he just gave an instruction to his assistant and didn't take it to heart at all.

Unfortunately, soon after, the cheap big brother he didn't think highly of at all gave him, and even the whole family, a big surprise that shocked them quite a bit.

In the first month of Lin Dashao's International Trading Company's founding, he closed a big deal.

He contacted friends in Australia and sold three thousand Arcade Machines in one go!

The profit reached forty-five million directly!

And this was even after he had given up the lion's share of the profit; otherwise, he would have earned even more.

The price at which he sold one Arcade Machine was only eight thousand Dollar.

And his business partner in Australia resold them at a price of twelve thousand Dollar.

What is called crazy, this is crazy!

Originally, Lin Dashao had already left a profit margin of twenty thousand Hong Kong Dollar for his business partners.

But the other party did even better, earning another four thousand Dollar per unit upon resale, totaling nearly thirty thousand Hong Kong Dollar.

That is to say, after deducting various normal costs, the business partner could earn at least nearly fifty thousand Hong Kong Dollar per Arcade Machine.

When he heard the news, Lin Dashao was stunned for a long time, feeling that he really didn't know how to do business.

Of course, it was just a sigh; he never thought about raising the price.

That the other party could sell at a higher price was the partner's ability, and it had nothing to do with him.

Even so, when Lin Baiyi and his wife, as well as Lin Ershao, learned the news, one could imagine the shocked expressions on each of their faces.

Lin Dashao felt quite satisfied!

For the first time, because of his own affairs, he saw a complex and dramatic expression on his father's face.

He felt that this time he had definitely bet right, and the Arcade Machine business must continue.

In fact, while Lin Dashao's ability was just average, he had incredibly extensive connections.

He had been helping his father manage business since he was eighteen.

Although he had never held real power, his connections spread across the world, which was no exaggeration.

Especially in Commonwealth countries, he knew far too many influential people.

Arcade Machines were a very popular form of entertainment recently, and as long as the games were exciting, they were easy to sell.

If it were any other commodity trade, those connections might not give Lin Dashao any face, as that would involve real money.

But for Arcade Machines, as long as the playability was confirmed, an order of a few thousand units really didn't count for much.

Lin Dashao suddenly showed signs of rising up, and now it was Lin Ershao's turn to be embarrassed.

Before, he had always looked down on his cheap big brother, feeling that he was basically just like that.

Who knew that his cheap big brother would suddenly strive for success, wouldn't that make him, the younger brother, look incompetent?

Damn it, how did the situation suddenly become so overwhelming for him?

Also, who exactly was the guy who incited his cheap big brother to do Arcade Machine trading?

Isn't this setting someone up?
