Chapter 452 No one can do it!
Lin Zehao just listened quietly without saying anything, holding a cigarette in his left hand and stroking his beard with his right hand.
At this time, Luo Tianhong walked over slowly, bent down and whispered something respectfully in the ear of his boss. Lin Zehao nodded slightly.
"Boss Li, there are some things you don't understand. Business has its own rules, and the underworld has its own rules."
"If I accept your request, the nature of this matter will change. How can I survive in the underworld? Who will obey me?"
Hearing this, Li Chaoren's expression changed and he was about to say something, but Lin Zehao just stretched out his finger and pointed at him lightly, making him subconsciously shut his mouth.
"Listen to me, I can help with this matter. After all, we are all in the same circle. Since you can come to me, I can't just stand by and watch you die."
"However, the method is different from what you imagined. I can invite the people who kidnapped your son to come out for a talk and see if there is a better solution. What do you think?"
Having experienced ups and downs in emotions, Li Chaoren dared not say a word. He just kept nodding and saying words of thanks.
"Brother Hao, what should I do now?"
Even though Li Chaoren is well-versed in the business world, he has never experienced such a thing. He has completely regarded Lin Zehao as his backbone.
It was not until this time that he finally understood why Lin Zehao could achieve such a high level of success!
Just the demeanor of a big boss, the confidence that everything is under control and the whole world is within his grasp, is one in a million!
"Don't panic, let me make a call first."
"Ah Hong, have you found out clearly?"
Hearing this, Luo Tianhong respectfully handed over his eldest brother's phone number with both hands and said, "Brother Hao, I found out that it was done by Zhuo Ziqiang and Ye Guohuan."
"Ye Guohuan, is he the one who informed us last time?"
Luo Tianhong nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Hao, it's him."
"Call him."
Luo Tianhong nodded and dialed the number. After the call was connected, a voice came out of the microphone.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
Because the speakerphone was on, Li Chaoren could hear it clearly. Thinking about his son's fate, he couldn't help but get a little nervous. Lin Zehao used his eyes to signal him to be patient. Luo Tianhong continued, "Ye Guohuan?"
"Who are you?" The voice on the other end of the phone immediately became serious.
"Hutchison, Luo Tianhong."
Ye Guohuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the younger brothers around him also relaxed and said, "It turned out to be Brother Hong. I wonder what you want from me? Do you have any instructions?"
Ye Guohuan also joined a gang in the past, but unfortunately he didn't make a name for himself. Unwilling to be ordinary, he had no choice but to become a gangster.
Fortunately, all roads lead to Rome. Now he has made a name for himself in the gangster circle. Even the famous Hutchison called him, which is enough to explain everything.
"Brother Hong, I don't deserve it. I heard that you recently went back to your old job and made a big profit?"
Ye Guohuan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Zhang Ziqiang beside him, but the other party looked disapproving. The two exchanged glances, and the former tried to change the subject, "Hahahaha, Brother Hong is well-informed, worthy of being the famous Hutchison. I wonder if there are any instructions?"
Luo Tianhong said in a cold voice: "Why, you dare not admit it?"
"I don't want to beat around the bush with you. Since you informed us at the beginning, I'll tell you the truth. Your request is a bit too much. Li Chaoren has found Brother Hao..."
Weilonghao!
Hearing this name, Ye Guohuan no longer cared to pretend to be confused, and asked quickly: "Brother Hao? What do you mean, Brother Hao?"
Although in the eyes of ordinary people they are ruthless criminals who dare to shoot at the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force with AK-47s, in the eyes of underworld bosses like Wei Longhao, they are just insignificant little people.
At best, he is slightly better than those low-level gangsters.
It is no exaggeration to say that with just one word from Wei Longhao, Ye Guohuan would have no chance of staying in Hong Kong Island in the future.
"You should know that Brother Hao has always attached great importance to rules, so he is going to host a party for you and Li Chaoren to sit down and have a good talk."
"Everyone is out here just to make money. Sometimes if both sides give in, the world will be bright and it will benefit everyone. What do you think?"
At this time, Ye Guohuan still dared to say a word of no, and nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's the truth, that's the truth..."
Luo Tianhong said, "Okay, let's meet at the Hutchison Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"By the way, bring Mr. Li with you."
Ye Guohuan wanted to say something, but Luo Tianhong didn't give him a chance and hung up the phone directly.
"Hello, hello, Brother Hong?"
"How straightforward! He just hung up the phone..."
Ye Guohuan complained a few words, but before he could finish, Zhuo Ziqiang snatched the phone from his elder brother, his face gloomy, and said: "What do you mean, Wei Longhao is going to take care of this matter? And he's on Li Chaoren's side?"
Since the phone was on speakerphone, he was able to hear roughly what was said.
"That should be the case, but from what he said, Wei Longhao will not interfere too much. He just asked us to have a chat together. There is no other intention."
Ye Guohuan's explanation did not satisfy Zhuo Ziqiang. He snorted coldly, "Humph! Wei Longhao's words sound nice, but now it's just like lice on a bald head. He is just trying to use this method to support Li Chaoren and force us to ask for less money!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuo Ziqiang's younger brothers also became unhappy and started shouting loudly.
"What's with the dragon, tiger, lion, etc.? No one can make us take less money!"
"That's right! Why should we be obedient when he doesn't even show up even though we work so hard and just asks his subordinates to make a phone call?"
"Since we dare to do this risky business, we have already tied our heads to our belts. Not to mention Wei Longhao, even the king of heaven can't stop us!"
Obviously, these thugs who risk their lives every time don't care about the so-called rules of the underworld or the ways of the world.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhuo Ziqiang put his hands on his hips, looking very satisfied.
Back then, he wanted to join a small society but was rejected due to his short and thin stature. He had no choice but to choose to become a more dangerous gangster.
Now he has gained some fame in this field, but the scene of being rejected by the society is still vivid in his mind and can't be erased.
As a result, whenever he faced some underworld bosses, he was always filled with jealousy and indignation!
Why can't he, who is so capable, become a member of the society?
Why can those so-called big guys make him give up the benefits that are already at his fingertips with just one phone call?
Zhuo Ziqiang, I don't accept it! "Ziqiang, come here, I want to talk to you alone."
Ye Guohuan put his arm around Zhuo Ziqiang's shoulders and tried to pull him aside, but was rejected by the latter. "Brother Huan, just say whatever you want to say. All the people present are our brothers. There's no need to tell them behind their backs, right?"
Zhuo Ziqiang's words directly put Ye Guohuan on the spot. Even his own younger brothers looked at their big brother with an inexplicable look.
Seeing this, Ye Guohuan could only force a smile and said, "Okay, let's talk about it here."
"Zi Qiang, I know the cases you did before were very beautiful and sensational. The most important thing is that you robbed money trucks and banks without having to deal with those gangsters."
"Unlike when we attacked the gold shop, we needed professional people to sell the stolen goods, otherwise the stolen goods would just be a pile of scrap metal."
After a pause, Ye Guohuan continued, "Who is Wei Longhao? He is the youngest leader in the history of the four major societies in Hong Kong Island!"
"There are hundreds of social organizations in Hong Kong Island now, with dozens of names, big and small. If Hutchison is second, which one dares to claim to be first?"
"Shenghe Weilong! That's a golden signboard! But it was forged with blood and gunpowder! In the entire Hong Kong underworld, who dares to offend him?"
These words gave everyone present a clear understanding of Wei Longhao.
Although many people still looked indifferent, there was more or less a sense of awe in their hearts.
"I don't know what kind of relationship Li Chaoren has with Wei Longhao that he was able to invite him to come out and set up the stage."
"On the surface, we may make less money, or lose some face, but from a practical and long-term perspective, we are safer."
"Let me ask you, with Wei Longhao coming forward this time, it's a done deal. Does Li Chaoren still dare to bring up the past?"
Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
"As the saying goes, if you walk along the river frequently, you will get your feet wet. Who among us in this business can guarantee that everything will go smoothly without any accidents?"
"We gave Wei Longhao face this time. If there is a time when the horse is too high and the stirrup is too short in the future, given Wei Longhao's character and reputation, will he stand idly by?"
"So, I suggest you keep the appointment on time and make a decision based on the specific situation. If the price is right, we should give Wei Longhao some face. Just think of it as buying yourself an absolutely reliable insurance. Maybe at a critical moment, you can save an extra life."
Ye Guohuan said this, and he really thought so in his heart.
Some time ago, after he met Zhuo Ziqiang by chance, the latter had been asking for something big, and he considered it for a long time before finally agreeing.
The reason is very simple, because he wants to retire from the underworld.
Taking advantage of this last bit of madness to earn some start-up capital, he prepared to start a legitimate business.
If I can use this opportunity to establish a relationship with Weilonghao, why would I have to worry about not being able to make money in Zhengxing?
Who in the whole underworld doesn't know that Wei Longhao is the most professional and successful one among the many societies that have transformed and cleansed themselves up!
Ye Guohuan had said so much, and even though Zhuo Ziqiang was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to agree to keep the appointment tomorrow.
With no place to vent his anger, his vicious eyes slowly stared at Li Zeju who was locked in the dog cage!
……
Tsim Sha Tsui, Hutchison Restaurant.
Ever since the first Hutchison Restaurant opened for business, its reasonable prices, great taste and attentive service have been warmly welcomed by the residents of Hong Kong Island.
There are currently five Hutchison restaurants in Hong Kong Island, all of which are within Hutchison’s territory.
After the new year, Dai Long plans to open three new stores. He is currently studying the location, and the final decision will be made by the boss Lin Zehao.
On the second floor, in a private room reserved in advance.
Li Chaoren, Ye Guohuan and Zhuo Ziqiang sat on both sides, and Lin Zehao sat in the main seat.
Although there was a wide variety of food on the table, no one present had any intention of picking up their chopsticks.
Everyone's eyes were on Lin Zehao, the absolute protagonist.
"Since both parties have honored us with their presence, it proves that there is a basis for a peaceful resolution."
"I don't want to interfere with the specifics. In a nutshell, as long as we leave this door today, the past will be written off and no one should bring up the past grudges again. Otherwise, it would be a disrespect to me as the middleman."
"Okay, you guys talk about the rest, I'll be leaving for a while."
After saying that, Lin Zehao stood up and walked out of the box surrounded by his younger brothers.
Given his status in the underworld, being able to organize this event was a great honor to him. Both parties had to accept his favor, and no one could find fault with it.
In the room, only Datou and Dongguanzi were left as witnesses.
"My two friends, I, Li Chaoren, will take responsibility for this matter, but billion is a bit too much. Please give me a discount."
"I brought some cash with me. If it's not enough, I'll ask Brother Hao and he'll help me pay for it."
As expected of someone who has experienced the ups and downs of the business world for half his life, what he said was very well-spoken.
Not only did he express his sincerity, he also hinted that Lin Zehao was behind him, so you must not go too far.
It can be said that he gave the other party enough face without losing the substance.
The next second, the secretary moved the dishes off the table and placed several large pieces of luggage on top.
Ye Guohuan and Zhuo Ziqiang looked at each other, but the latter picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the roast goose, then spit it out, saying sarcastically: "Boss Li, you are really an old hand. You promised something and then went to ask for help."
"You want us to give up the benefits we have obtained with just a few words. Aren't you taking it for granted?"
"Or do you think I look like you guys when I'm wearing a suit and tie? To tell you the truth, without the suit, I'm still a gangster!"
Zhuo Ziqiang stood up suddenly, supporting his hands on the table, with a ferocious look on his face!
Although he is short and thin, he still looks a bit oppressive.
Li Chaoren was flustered, but his face remained the same as before. He said calmly, "What are you talking about? The reason I asked Brother Hao to come forward is to make peace. It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. There is no need for both sides to suffer losses."
"In short, you want to exchange my son for money, and I am willing to pay that money. We have the basis to sit down and talk. The reason we have a disagreement now is nothing more than the price."
"Just ask for as much as you want."
