Rebirth in Hong Kong: The Tallest Tree Catches the Most Wind

Chapter 38 Arrangement



Chapter 38 Arrangement

Lei's woodworking factory has been around for quite some time now. A few years ago, Mr. Lei took over the business from his father.

After World War II.

Post-war reconstruction spurred a golden age of development for the Hong Kong woodworking factory.

Hong Kong's population surged in the 1950s and 60s, and many people built wooden houses on the hillsides, leading to a sharp increase in demand for timber and driving the development of timber mills.

Lei Kee Timber Factory was established around that time, with its factory located on Qin Hang Street in North Point.

In 1953, a fire in the Shek Kip Mei wooden shantytown left more than 50,000 people homeless. The government built resettlement areas and low-rent housing.

North Point Estate was built at that time.

The timber mill was moved to Chai Wan. Now, with the construction of the MTR in Chai Wan and government requirements, the timber mill has to move again to a more peripheral area.

They've also chosen a new location, near Gudongmacaolong. The location is decent; the timber can be brought in by waterway.

This location has caught the eye of Leung Kee Timber Factory in Tai Po, and the two companies are now vying for it, causing rental prices to keep rising.

Liang Kee Timber Factory is backed by Wo Lee Wo Tai Po Chicken, which makes chilled chicken in Tai Po, and is under his protection.

Uncle Wang Weiqiang, who was treated like dirt, provided extremely detailed information.

With such a good opportunity, Wu Tianyao had no reason not to mess with them.

"Yeah?"

Boss Lei leaned forward slightly: "If what you say is true, then there really is a red envelope. Is 100,000 yuan enough for your travel expenses?"

The location was originally in the suburbs of Hong Kong, but it only became popular because of competition for prices.

With no competitors around and his connections, the rent will naturally drop, saving countless tens of thousands of yuan.

"Good price, thank you, boss." Wu Tianyao nodded in agreement, "But I need to pay in advance." He considered for a moment, "No, I'll call Boss Wang to act as guarantor."

Boss Lei was taken aback for a moment, then after a brief thought, he got up and opened the wrist clamps behind him.

He knew perfectly well that Wu Tianyao, who wanted to get things done, was short of money, so he came to him to raise funds.

He took 100,000 yuan from inside and pushed it in front of Wu Tianyao: "Mr. Wu, I'm waiting for you to win big, hahaha..."

"Thank you for your kind words!"

Wu Tianyao took the money and left: "Watch the news at 11 p.m. tonight, at Ma Liu Shui Wharf."

"This kid..."

Boss Lei watched Wu Tianyao leave, muttering to himself.

If it weren't for the matter between Ersha and Wang Heting, he certainly wouldn't have made the payment in advance.

Wu Tianyao was in a hurry for money, so he readily agreed, thinking that there might be new cooperation opportunities next time they met.

Doing business involves risks.

Since I want to profit from this rental income, I'm trying to make a big profit with a small investment.

Let's be straightforward and take a gamble with 100,000 yuan.

on the way back.

Wu Tianyao, clutching the banknotes in his hand, sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, quickly calculating in his mind.

You'll never know that money isn't really money until you're in charge of the household; it just flows out like water.

He had spent a lot of money on planning and preparing for Wangji Herbal Tea, so he was short of money.

Even now, we still have to raise money from all over the place to get things done.

If there is no money, the people below will not feel secure, and without security, they will lack motivation to do their work.

Six o'clock.

The restaurants on Lanxiu Street were packed.

When Wu Tianyao entered, the people sitting around the table eating greeted him.

Wu Tianyao greeted them and went to the counter to pay the bill: "It's not good to work if you eat too much. Let's eat after we finish our work tonight. There will be wine and meat."

Wait for Fei Sha to come out from inside.

Wu Tianyao called him over, handed him a cigarette, and quickly said, "Get your men moving first. Be alert, it's very important."

"Three cars and fifteen handsome young men, heading to Leung Kee Timber Factory in Tai Po... this section of Tolo Highway near Ma Liu Shui Pier..."

Fei Sha carefully noted it down, nodded, and quickly left.

····

It was a little after nine o'clock at night.

Tasha and his men met up with Wu Tianyao and his group.

In the niche.

A statue of Guan Yu, wearing black cloth shoes and holding a sword, stands tall.

A wisp of wispy smoke enveloped him, his phoenix eyes wide open, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

The worship of Guan Gong is a unique feature of Hong Kong.

The community worships Guan Yu, who holds a sword, wears cloth shoes, and has open eyes, and respects Guan Yu's righteousness.

The police officers in the police station worship Guan Yu, who is depicted holding a long sword, wearing red official boots, and with his eyes closed, hoping that Guan Yu will bless them and help them kill enemies and achieve merit.

There were many people at the scene, but only a few dozen were able to come in to offer incense.

Holding incense sticks in both hands, Wu Tianyao looked through the swirling smoke at the Guan Gong statue with open eyes behind him, bowed, offered the incense, and then inserted it into the incense burner: "Where there's a will, there's a way!"

Tasha's expression remained calm, without much turmoil; he had walked this path far too many times.

"Here, this is the 50,000 yuan red envelope I promised Grandpa." Wu Tianyao took out the banknotes he had prepared beforehand: "You can distribute them to the brothers after you finish the job."

"Take it yourself first, and give it back to me when you're done." Tasha was very accommodating and didn't accept his red envelope first: "The boss sent me out to do things so that I could have a good reputation."

I don't want to embarrass myself tonight, so I hope you won't let me down, and definitely won't use me and my group as scapegoats.

He raised his hand and patted Wu Tianyao on the shoulder: "Otherwise, I'll be the first to kill you."

"I'm sure I'll be fine in charge."

Wu Tianyao reached out and shook hands with Tasha: "I never do things I'm not sure about."

Tasha nodded and looked into the distance, smoking.

He was a man of few words, a seasoned gangster who followed Fei Tang around, but lacked the opportunity to become a full-fledged police officer.

After Wu Tianyao and Tasha finished their cigarettes, they stubbed them out and walked towards their group.

Qin Hao, Hua Zirong, Quanzi, and several others immediately gathered around: "Brother Yao."

"Um."

Wu Tianyao took out cigarettes, picked up a pack from his own, and passed it over, gesturing with his lips to indicate what was inside: "How is everyone doing?"

"no problem."

"Can."

Several people nodded.

"it is good."

Wu Tianyao nodded, squinted as he took a drag of his cigarette, and began to speak quickly. The others straightened their backs and listened attentively to his instructions.

"Tsuen-jai, tonight you take four people in a car, ask the paparazzi for a spot, and keep an eye on the cripple on Castle Peak Road."

Wu Tianyao methodically followed the pre-arranged plan: "If the cripple dares to interfere, immediately notify Junzai."

He looked at the paparazzi Jun: "You arrange for the paparazzi to liaise with Quan Zai. Once the cripple makes a move, go straight into his house and chat with his wife and daughter."

Wu Tianyao had already arranged for paparazzi Jun to keep an eye on the cripple, and had already made a plan based on the number of people in the paparazzi.

Tsuen Tsai is quick-witted and meticulous despite his rough exterior, making him the perfect person to keep an eye on the cripple at Wo Kee.

The paparazzi under Gouza Jun's command are all mobile teams, perfectly suited for this kind of work.

"good!"

Tsuen and the paparazzi nodded vigorously and drove away with their men.

"Ah Hao," Wu Tianyao looked at Qin Hao, "have the leaders been arranged for this advance team that transferred from Huo Bao's command?"

"No problem." Qin Hao nodded: "There are forty people in total, and three team leaders."

Wu Tianyao nodded, then turned to Hua Zai Rong: "Half of Ta Sha's men are with you and Qin Hao. Once they're inside, they must hold their ground and absolutely cannot scatter!"
