Chapter 46 Only You Don’t Have to Kneel to Me
Looking at the merchants who signed honestly, Li Wenbin couldn't help but admire his boss.
The method of first giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date is becoming more and more sophisticated.
Moreover, changing the protection fee to property fee may seem like just a change of name, but in fact it has become a legal act through legal means.
No matter how much protection money is collected, it is still illegal money laundering and cannot be allowed to be seen in the open. If you want to turn it into legal income, you have to find a way to launder it, which is another considerable expense.
Property fees are clean money, and are taxed legally. There is no need to worry about inspections, and you can receive them forever.
In Li Wenbin's opinion, among all the big brothers of Hong Kong's community organizations, only his own boss has the brains and courage to give up the short-term gains and make long-term plans.
Now that we have the territory and sufficient funds, we just need to wait for the dust to settle before we can open up our business and recruit a large number of people.
After the merchants had signed the contracts, they left together. Among them, Lin Zehao shook hands with a few actively cooperating merchants and took photos with them, which made them very grateful and happy.
After all the merchants left, Lin Zehao put the contract aside, took out a map, spread it out on the table, ran his finger over it, and said, "Abin, the shops of those two people just now are all concentrated on this street, and most of them are electrical appliance stores."
Li Wenbin looked in the direction and nodded, "Yes, electrical appliance stores are doing good business right now. What do you think, Boss?"
Lin Zehao took out a cigar, trimmed it, lit it, felt the aroma of tobacco flowing in his mouth, and then spit it out, "You know me well. I plan to build a comprehensive shopping mall on Sai Yeung Choi Street."
This idea frightened Li Wenbin, and he quickly said, "Brother Hao, we don't have that much money in our account to invest. Real estate is too expensive."
"The property market has indeed risen sharply in the past few years. No one knows whether it will fall in the future, not to mention that it is commercial housing and the prospects of integrated shopping malls are still unknown."
Li Wenbin has always been a rational person and he keeps a relatively calm mind when thinking about problems.
This character has both good and bad sides.
Lin Zehao did not explain, but handed Li Wenbin a cigar, and then slowly said: "I conclude that the property market in Hong Kong Island, from a macro perspective, will only get better and better, and will not fall."
"Unless there is a major social unrest, this is not considered normal."
Li Wen did not doubt the boss's judgment, but continued to ask: "Comprehensive shopping malls have developed well in America, but even if we have enough funds to build them, the subsequent management will be a big problem."
"We don't have talent in this area. We are good at collecting protection fees and fighting, but we know nothing about management."
"Your judgment is correct. Compared to construction, management is more difficult." Lin Zehao nodded in agreement.
Building a shopping mall is very simple. All you need to do is find a designer and build it according to the blueprints. There are traces to follow.
But management cannot be achieved by simply copying and pasting.
"But you don't have to worry too much. I just have this idea. I will definitely do it step by step and won't rush it."
"We can start now and keep an eye out for management talents in this area. As long as we are willing to spend money, we are not afraid of no one coming."
"I don't believe that there is anything that can't be solved with money these days."
For Lin Zehao, building a shopping mall is just a preliminary plan.
In actual operation, there are many things to do. Not only do we have to solve the funding problem, but we also have to obtain government procedures, and then we have to demolish the original site.
Only after all these series of things are completed can construction begin, which is definitely a long process.
"Brother Hao, don't worry, your ideas will be unconditionally supported by the brothers."
"We'll hit wherever you point."
Seeing that Lin Zehao already had a detailed plan, Li Wenbin stopped trying to persuade him.
After all, the boss's realm was not something he could guess.
The two were talking about club affairs when a younger brother stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Brother Hao, a few brothers from the club are outside. They said they came to see you on the orders of Brother Rong."
Lin Zehao suddenly realized and said, "Yes, let them in."
As the territory expanded, there was a shortage of manpower, so he asked his subordinates to integrate the team and bring over the people who had performed well recently.
If you have enough ability, don't be stingy.
After a while, the younger brother came over with a group of young people.
Most people had excited expressions on their faces and were very reserved in their every move. It was the first time for many people to meet the leader of the society, so it was normal for them to be nervous.
The one walking in front was Lin Huaile, and he was also the first to greet Lin Zehao.
"Brother Hao."
With an example, others followed suit.
"Brother Hao!"
"Hello, Brother Hao!"
"You're welcome. We're all brothers." Lin Zehao nodded, nodded slightly to Li Wenbin, and said, "Call me Brother Bin."
"Brother Bin!"
"Hello, Brother Bin!"
Facing the juniors, Li Wenbin acted like a senior and just nodded calmly.
Lin Zehao smiled, pointed at Lin Huaile and said, "Ah Le, you performed very well this time. You led people to take down a bar and a nightclub."
"I am a man who always keeps my word. These two places are yours to take care of from now on."
"Just remember to pay on time every month."
Lin Huaile was extremely excited, his heart was beating very fast, and he quickly said: "Brother Hao, I am grateful for your kindness, I will definitely work hard for you in the future!"
As he said this, his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground.
"Stand up, don't kneel easily. A man's knees are made of gold. Kneel to the sky above, the earth below, and parents in between."
"When you join the society, you have to kneel down to Bodhidharma and Guan Yu, but you don't have to kneel down to me."
"I don't care about these things. As long as you work sincerely for me, I will never treat you unfairly."
Lin Zehao waved his hand, with a burning cigar between his fingers, the aura of a big boss radiating from inside out.
"Got it, Brother Hao." Lin Huaile stood up, nodded heavily, and swore in his heart to be loyal and never betray.
Then, Lin Zehao turned his gaze to another person, looked him up and down, and asked, "Your name is Luo Tianhong?"
This person is the bodyguard candidate introduced by Chen Guoqiang.
Luo Tianhong has a baby face and looks like she has just reached adulthood. She has the popular side bangs and a very cold look in her eyes.
When Lin Zehao called him, the indifference turned into deep admiration.
"Brother Hao, I'm Luo Tianhong."
There was a hint of fanaticism in his tone.
Li Wenbin on the side was not surprised. In the past two years, his boss has been very strong and many newcomers admire him.
Especially recently, the influence of Yau Tsim Mong has reached a new level after it conquered all of the areas.
It is normal to have a few Fans.
"I heard from Aqiang that you are very good at fighting. I wonder what weapon you use?" Lin Zehao exhaled a puff of smoke and asked casually.
"Brother Hao, I am the best with a sword. I always keep a sword with me..."
"However, the brothers at the door said that you can't take weapons when you see the dragon head, so they are placed outside."
At this moment, Luo Tianhong was like a good student, answering the teacher's questions honestly.
It forms an extreme contrast with the person's overall cold temperament.
Thanks to all the friends who have always supported me. I am not very good at speaking, so I can only say thank you. I am sincerely grateful. I hope that friends who like it can help turn to the last page and click to read on. I will be very grateful.
