Chapter 428 Private Jet
"He did a good job and he's a smart guy, but he just followed the wrong boss."
"These days, not only are women afraid of following the wrong man, but gangsters are also afraid of following the wrong boss."
"The former wasted his life, while the latter died."
After Lin Zehao said this, he was surrounded by his younger brothers and walked away. Old Jin stood there in a daze, thinking for a while, and then hurriedly chased after them.
As the dust settled on the front battlefield, the defense of the Bamboo Union Gang headquarters was declared a success. He Ji's younger brothers set up a ladder and directly took down the plaque of the Bamboo Union Gang headquarters and replaced it with the word He Sheng He written by their own leader.
The large gilded characters look like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes. They are solemn and majestic, yet also very grand.
The personnel and finances of the Bamboo Union Gang had long been controlled by Lin Huaile and were handed over to Lin Zehao in accordance with the rules.
For any enterprise or organization, the most important things are finance and personnel. If you don't hold on to these two, there will be absolutely no major storms.
Lin Zehao walked around the main hall, took a general look at the layout, and had a general idea of it.
When he returned to the living room, Lin Huaile and his subordinates had been waiting for a long time.
"Brother Hao."
The people who were originally sitting on the sofa immediately stood up after seeing Lin Zehao and greeted him very respectfully.
"Please sit down. We are all family. Don't be polite."
Lin Zehao never cared much about these things. He just smiled and waved his hand, sitting in the main seat as he deserved. With a glance, his special younger brothers distributed cigars to the few people.
"It's Cuban. It tastes pretty good."
Lin Zehao lit one first and motioned for everyone to try it.
Naturally, everyone did not dare to neglect them and started smoking one after another. The subordinates who were a little familiar with him knew that Brother Hao was not only a good boss, but also had a high level of taste. If he said something was good, it must be good.
"The Sanlian Gang agreed to give us three streets in exchange. Ah Le and Ah Kun, you two will take people to take over. If the other party tries any tricks, don't be polite."
Lin Huaile and Liang Kun, who were named, stood up immediately, their expressions showing a hint of excitement, especially the latter, whose face turned the color of liver.
For someone like him who came from Hongxing, the opportunity to stand out
"Feiji, take your men to ask the Tiandao League for the two streets of Tainan. Keep your eyes open. If Luo Fuzhu wants to fill in the gap, you should know what to do."
Feiji immediately put down his cigar, stood up, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Brother Hao, I understand."
Although he still gets impulsive from time to time, he is no longer the brainless gangster he once was.
After joining Hutchison for such a long time, he has learned a lot, especially from Brother Hao. He now understands what it means to be a gangster without using your brain and to be a gangster all your life.
Lin Zehao exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Ah Yu, the headquarters will be transformed into a garrison, and the people who originally belonged to the Bamboo Union will be dispersed to other territories. During this period of time, you will help the society to deal with these things and try to make the transition as smooth as possible without causing any trouble."
"As for the previous business, you are still responsible for it, but it must be separated from the society and treated separately."
Wang Yu jumped up excitedly and said excitedly: "Yes, Brother Hao!"
He clearly understood that from this moment on, he had officially gotten rid of his identity as a member of the Bamboo Union and became a member of the Wo Shing Wo Gang.
After chatting for a while, everyone stood up, said goodbye, and prepared to go to work.
Although the boss did not set a time limit for this job, competition has always existed in Hutchison, and they must always be conscious in order to climb up better.
It is no exaggeration to say that those who can make a name for themselves in Hutchison today would definitely be considered big brothers in other societies.
Under such fierce competition, anyone who is ambitious dare not slack off in the slightest.
As soon as Lin Huaile and others walked out of the living room, they saw Li Wenbin and a few foreigners walking towards them.
"Brother Bin."
Several people greeted each other, their eyes full of curiosity, but they all knew their limits and did not ask questions that should not be asked.
Li Wenbin nodded to a few people and walked straight to the living room.
As soon as he entered the door, Kevin, who was walking in front, brightened his eyes, walked towards Lin Zehao, opened his arms, and said enthusiastically: "Dear Lin, we meet again. You are still so handsome, and time seems to have left no traces of years on your face."
Lin Zehao hugged him and said with a smile: "Kevin, your belly is still so big, and the years have not left any traces on you."
Kevin is the president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes Asia, headquartered in Hong Kong Island, and is an old acquaintance of Lin Zehao.
When Hutchison Group is involved in charter business, it is coordinated through Boeing, and there is business dealings between the two companies.
"Lin, you are still so humorous."
Kevin was quite outgoing. After ordering a cup of coffee, he sat directly on the sofa without any hesitation.
Lin Zehao didn't care and handed him a cigar.
"Lin, I heard that you wanted to buy a private jet, so I rushed over from Arlington as soon as possible and skipped the meeting at headquarters. How about that, are we good friends?"
Kevin handed over the purchase brochure and said, "Lin, we are old friends. As a friend, I sincerely recommend you to buy the 767-200ER that Boeing has just launched."
"Not only is it Boeing's first aircraft with a two-passenger glass cockpit, it is also the first Boeing airliner to use electronic flight instruments."
"Besides, considering your status and financial resources, only this latest flagship aircraft is worthy of you."
Kevin has cooperated with Lin Zehao many times and has business dealings with him. He certainly knows the other party's economic strength. This is why he, as the president of the Asia region, rushed here as soon as possible. He knows very well that as long as Lin Zehao makes a move, it will definitely be a big deal. Even as a senior executive, the president of the Asia region, he cannot ignore the commission!
Instead of letting his employees earn the commission for free, it would be better for him to do it himself. This way he can make money and get closer to Lin Zehao, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Lin Zehao didn't even look at the so-called purchase manual. He just smiled and said, "No need to look at the manual. I believe in your vision. Let's talk about the price."
He had the idea of buying a private jet a long time ago, but due to financial constraints, he had never been able to do so.
After all, his business structure is very complicated, and many things cannot be explained in a few words. His current prosperity is also built on the basis of absolute strength.
In short, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the society, Lin Zehao has never been stingy with money and has indeed invested a lot of money and energy.
Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Hutchison Whampoa has good welfare benefits, but all of this requires money.
Fortunately, Fang Zhanbo's financial company has been doing quite well recently and has made a lot of money in the futures market, so Lin Zehao was able to buy a private jet.
Of course, Fang Zhanbo and the company's employees also received considerable commissions and bonuses, which were fully worth their hard work.
"Dear Lin, according to market prices, the starting price of a private jet converted from a Boeing 767-200ER is million US dollars. The specific price depends on your personal customization needs. As long as you want it and the technology can achieve it, Boeing can do it for you."
"You don't have to worry about security, privacy, technology, and other factors. As long as you have enough US dollars, we can take care of it for you!"
Perhaps his mouth was dry after talking for a long time, Kevin took a sip of coffee and continued, "Also, according to our internal system evaluation, you are a top customer. I can apply for some discounts for you. I can try to get you a 10% discount."
Private jets have always been the absolute symbol of true wealth, not to mention in the 1980s, even in the past 20 or 30 years, it would still be the same!
What's more, Boeing is currently the world's largest manufacturer of civil and military aircraft, not even one of them.
Its flagship model can be said to be a well-deserved synonym.
The moment you own a Boeing 767, there is nothing to say because it speaks for you.
"It's really difficult for a grown man like me to choose decorations. How about this? You dispatch a 767 to Taiwan's Chiang Kai-shek Airport, and we'll take a look around and decide on a specific decoration style."
"Also, regarding security issues, there will be professional security consultants to liaise with you."
Lin Zehao could still come up with more than 100 million US dollars, and buying an airplane was just like buying a car. It was not necessary to pay the full amount. You could also take out a loan to pay the down payment or in installments.
The specific price can only be determined after the options and assembly are finalized.
Therefore, Lin Zehao plans to ask his women to give some suggestions. After all, girls are better at this kind of thing.
"Lin, you are still as quick-witted and decisive as ever. I will contact the headquarters to arrange it for you."
Kevin was a little excited because he knew that this business had already got off to a good start. Generally speaking, after entering the on-site visit stage, few people can resist the temptation of the Boeing 767-200ER.
You know, as a conventional civilian aircraft, this aircraft is a big one with 210 seats. If it is converted into a private aircraft based on it, its luxury attributes will definitely be maximized!
It is not an exaggeration to say that some people’s houses are not so large, let alone so luxurious!
If he could get such a big order, not only would he be able to get a large commission and his position would be more secure, but it would also be a strong promotional point for Boeing's overall brand image.
After all, Airbus is Boeing's most direct competitor. As a direct competitor, the Airbus A310 has been often compared with the Boeing 767.
Under such circumstances, if this large order from Lin Zehao could be negotiated, it would be the most effective publicity for the entire Boeing company!
After the serious business is over, the next step is naturally a business banquet. After all, they have come from far away, and it would be unreasonable not to entertain them.
However, Kevin was eager to make a contribution and directly rejected Lin Zehao's invitation. He chose to take the fastest flight back to the American headquarters to personally implement the matter.
After all, if everything goes smoothly as expected, Kevin's commission for this order will be at least one million US dollars. If the customization costs too much, the commission may double.
Even as a senior executive of Boeing, he must take such profits seriously.
As time goes by, the storm that has swept across the entire island has once again reached a new climax!
The Four Seas Gang, the Tian Dao League and the San Lian Gang, the three top gangs in Taiwan, joined forces but still failed to take down the headquarters of the Bamboo Union Gang. Instead, they were taken down by the foreign force Hutchison Whampoa!
Although it was said that Wei Longhao had a personal letter from Chen Qili, the three gangs' cowardly behavior still caused an outcry in the underworld of Taiwan.
In their view, the three companies should work together and concentrate all their efforts to defeat Hutchison, the outsider!
No matter how the underworld of Taiwan changes, even if something big happens, it should be handled by the people of Taiwan themselves. It is not the turn of the outsiders from Hong Kong to speak loudly!
The headquarters of the Bamboo Union Gang, although from a practical perspective, is just an ordinary gang, it has great symbolic significance.
After all, as the overlord of Taiwan’s underworld, the Bamboo Union Gang’s headquarters was actually regarded by many as a kind of heritage.
From the perspective of other gangs in Taiwan's underworld, even if this piece of fat meat is going to rot, it has to rot in the pot, and it is not Lin Zehao's turn to eat it!
Now, there is a lot of opposition from the entire Taiwan underworld, and many people have raised the slogan of driving Lin Zehao out of Taiwan, but looking around, no one has taken action.
In this atmosphere, Hutchison Whampoa was cleaning up all traces of the Bamboo Union Gang, and was beginning to integrate its internal forces and digest the inherited territory.
Lin Huaile, Liang Kun, and Feiji's journey to collect debts also began at the same time.
Lin Huaile arrived in the Central District of Tainan on time as agreed. The three streets that the Sanlian Gang agreed to hand over were located here.
Hutchison dispatched a total of one thousand people this time to take over the territory of three streets.
If there are too many people, the Sanlian Gang will not agree. If there are too few, there will be no safety guarantee. Therefore, it is most appropriate to control the number of people within a thousand.
Seeing the Toyota Hiaces parked one after another on the roadside, Ah Zhao, who was in charge of the area, was leaning against the guardrail chewing betel nuts. After seeing this, he quickly spat out the betel nuts in his mouth and shouted, "Brothers, grab your weapons!"
The Sanlian Gang's younger brothers quickly gathered together, armed with machetes, steel pipes, hammers, and some even picked up folding stools from roadside stalls and rushed over.
The doors of the Toyota Hiace opened, and Hutchison employees in black suits got out of the car one after another. The golden "和" characters embroidered on their chests sparkled in the sunlight.
"Who's the boss here?"
Lin Huaile had a gloomy smile on his face. He took off his sunglasses, raised his right hand and shouted, without looking nervous at all.
