Chapter 248: The Request

Snap!

The television screen went black and turned off directly.

"Huo Lao, what is your take on this?"

In the main hall of the Huo family villa, Wu Feng sat upright on the sofa and asked in a slow voice.

"That person in Macau has gone a bit too far!"

Huo Lao's expression was calm as he said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, I will speak to those old friends according to your wishes and try my best not to get involved in the matters between you!"

"Then many thanks, Huo Lao!"

Wu Feng smiled slightly and stood up, intending to take his leave, as his goal had already been achieved.

The struggle with that person in Macau was purely a conflict of interests.

It is said that certain tycoons in Hong Kong have a very good relationship with that person in Macau.

In any case, it is just targeting the Hongxing Society; they might participate, either consciously or unconsciously, and use their own influence to make things difficult for Hongxing.

Regarding such a situation, Wu Feng really wanted to shout angrily: How could a conflict of interests be so easily quelled?

If you don't want to suffer an unprovoked disaster, then don't mess around and get involved in things you shouldn't.

It's just that he doesn't have much interaction with the old-guard tycoons of Hong Kong, and even if they meet at so-called high-end cocktail parties, they are only familiar faces, so it is really hard to speak too bluntly.

Then he could only ask Huo Lao to act as an intermediary and help pass the word along.

Regarding the interests of the three gambling ships, if anyone feels they can get involved, then so be it.

If you have the ability, don't leave Hong Kong!

When Wu Feng made his request, he spoke very bluntly.

In this matter, Hongxing and that person in Macau are definitely going to have a fierce collision.

The current encounters of the various halls of Hongxing are merely child's play.

The location of those three gambling ships is very likely to face extremely fierce firepower attacks.

If things reach such a point, if the forces in Hong Kong want to participate, it would be best to wipe out Hongxing and the brothers Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Tianyang in one fell swoop, otherwise, there will be endless trouble.

At this time, Jiang Tiansheng will not be crushed just because Hongxing has run into trouble!

Unless his maritime smuggling business is cut off directly, turning him into a simple rich man without claws or roots, otherwise, once he leaves Hong Kong, he is still a powerful smuggling tycoon.

Right now, Wu Feng's foundation in the Mainland is already established!

Before 1992, the most well-known Hong Kong-funded enterprise in the Pengcheng Special Zone was no joke.

Not only was the investment intensity astonishing, but the vast majority of Wu Feng's investment output was for export, which was even more remarkable—that was all hard currency in real silver and gold.

Throughout the eighties, including the early nineties, the Mainland was always short of foreign exchange!

As long as they could earn foreign exchange, some enterprises would even go so far as to lose money just to make a name for themselves.

For instance, the enterprises under Wu Feng bring in foreign exchange income to the Mainland every year measured in tens of millions of Dollars, and it increases more every year.

What is even more exaggerated is that Wu Feng's enterprises cannot be considered low-end manufacturing.

Whether it is the manufacturing of Arcade Machine motherboards, the current manufacturing of Learning Machines and Home Game Consoles, or the manufacturing of Air Fryers and Subwoofers, they all have quite a bit of technical content.

Perhaps in 2024, such manufacturing capability would be nothing, and any township-level electronics factory could solve it all.

But placed in the Mainland of 1988, the technical content of these products is truly something to be proud of.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Feng's enterprise group in Pengcheng, despite having fewer than thirty thousand formal employees, has already entered the sight of the high-level officials in Beijing, and is even considered quite important.

And as Jiang Tiansheng's main supplier of goods, it is not so easy to replace Wu Feng's position.

Previously, why was Wu Feng so wary of Lin Baiyi?

It was because Lin Baiyi, as one of the clothing kings of Hong Kong, could really replace his role in the Mainland at that time.

At this moment, unless the top few Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong unite and pay an extremely astonishing price, it would be possible to uproot Wu Feng's foundation in the Mainland.

Such a thing is unlikely to happen even if you think about it!

It just so happens that Huo Lao not only has a high status in the underworld but also has great prestige in the Hong Kong Chinese business circle, and he has a poor relationship with that person in Macau, making him an excellent person to pass the message.

"No need to rush to leave; I still have some things I want to ask you!"

Unexpectedly, Huo Lao spoke to keep him, smiling lightly: "Wusheng, you don't seem very willing to communicate with an old man!"

As for Wu Feng's threatening words, this man, who had experienced too many storms and waves, didn't take them to heart at all; instead, he was quite curious about Wu Feng's attitude.

By rights, Wu Feng's actions belong to the absolute left-wing.

Yet, Wu Feng acts quite low-key and does not have much communication with the left-wing businessmen in Hong Kong, let alone business cooperation and exchanges.

For example, the Huo family has wharves and fleets, which require a large number of transport fleets.

In this regard, the society can provide enough transport vehicles and drivers, easily supporting thousands of drivers and their corresponding families.

This includes car repair shops and corresponding shops that can all benefit!

Other left-wing businessmen are also quite strong, encompassing real estate, finance, hotels, and other industries, providing far too many opportunities.

To put it bluntly, as long as one can be responsible for a part of the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of their employees, one could rapidly expand to become a new generation of wealthy upstarts in Hong Kong!

But Wu Feng showed no signs of taking the initiative to connect with these left-wing businessmen.

In fact, it was not that Wu Feng was unwilling, but that his speed of rise was too rapid.

So rapid that even he himself didn't have time to react, let alone the left-wing business group led by Huo Lao.

By the time they reacted, Wu Feng had already become a newly emerged tycoon in Hong Kong. In terms of capital strength alone, he even surpassed most of the old-guard wealthy families in Hong Kong; that is how exaggerated it was.

At this time, the left-wing business group led by Huo Lao could not rashly get close.

Wu Feng had already established his own business empire and did not need the support or alliance of external commercial forces.

Furthermore, Wu Feng's industries in the Mainland were doing even better than those of the left-wing business group.

Of course, Wu Feng was not very active in befriending the left-wing business group in Hong Kong either.

It wasn't that he felt his wings were hardened or anything, but rather that he felt everyone's way of thinking was not quite the same.

He had not revealed the slightest bit before; he did not expect that after only a brief contact with Huo Lao, some clues would be seen through—truly, ginger is still spicier when old.

"Huo Lao is joking; I have a lot of respect for you, sir, so please don't let outsiders get the wrong idea!"

Wu Feng sat back down on the sofa and chuckled, "I wonder what advice Huo Lao has?"

"Is that so? I don't think so!"

Huo Lao said bluntly, "When something like this happened, you should have come to me the first moment!"

"Instead of waiting until the situation developed to the current point, and only then having me act as a middleman to pass on a message!"
