Inside the warehouse of Yi Fa Trading, a chubby figure was bustling about. This person was none other than Boss Fang.
Boss Fang's real name was Fang Jiang He, a man with a fat head and thick ears, and a hairy mole on his face. He was wearing a white shirt, sweating profusely from the heat, as he directed the workers under his command.
"Work faster, get all the appliances in the warehouse loaded onto the trucks and transported to the docks today. We're shipping them to the mainland tonight."
The workers all nodded in agreement, "Understood, Boss Fang."
These workers were manually loading the trucks with appliances like televisions, air conditioners, and radios. They worked with a practiced efficiency.
But even with these workers, it wasn't enough, which is why Boss Fang had spent money on advertisements in the newspaper, looking for more employees for Yi Fa Trading.
Yi Fa Trading was a company specializing in import and export business.
Boss Fang took a towel and wiped the sweat from his brow. He was already overweight, and the warehouse was stuffy and poorly ventilated, so he was covered in sweat.
He wasn't sure if the workers were handling the appliances with enough care, so he reminded them once again:
"Take it slow, these are all electrical appliances. Don't bump or scratch them."
"Got it, Boss."
The workers were all diligently working, they got paid more for more work, and Boss Fang wasn't a harsh employer.
Just then, one of Boss Fang's employees rushed over and reported to him:
"Boss, someone's here to see you."
"I know."
Boss Fang furrowed his brow and went outside the warehouse.
Outside the warehouse, Gao Jin was standing there, dressed in a black suit, with leather shoes and hair slicked back with pomade. He looked like an elite professional, with a group of burly henchmen behind him. Four Mercedes-Benz cars were parked behind them.
Gao Jin had a calm and composed smile on his face, giving off a sense of pressure.
Boss Fang narrowed his eyes. He had been in the business world for so many years, he could roughly tell what kind of person he was dealing with just by looking at his demeanor.
He could tell that Gao Jin was not someone to be trifled with, so he quickly jogged over, with a friendly smile on his face:
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
He glanced at the suited henchmen, feeling a little apprehensive. He hadn't had much interaction with the underworld.
Though Ye Han Fei, the movie villain, was his friend, Boss Fang didn't involve himself in any violent activities.
Gao Jin looked at Boss Fang and spoke directly, his tone calm, "My boss is Chu Feng, the head of Chung Yee Sin in Mong Kok. He wants to meet you."
Hearing this, Boss Fang's face turned red. He had only recently started smuggling, otherwise, he wouldn't have been advertising in the newspapers for workers.
But he had already obtained the necessary licenses and connections in mainland China, so he could smuggle openly without fear of being caught by customs.
However, all the appliances he smuggled came from Hong Kong, and he had no influence in Hong Kong. He certainly didn't dare provoke someone like Chu Feng.
Everyone in Hong Kong had heard of Chung Yee Sin. Boss Fang knew that Chu Feng was the Triad's leader.
Boss Fang was hesitant, he didn't remember offending Chu Feng, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, are you sure there's no mistake?"
Gao Jin glanced at Boss Fang, without further explanation:
"My boss wants to see you, come with me. As for whether there's a mistake, I don't know."
Boss Fang swallowed hard, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat. Not many people had a good ending after crossing the Triads. He wanted to refuse, but seeing Gao Jin surrounded by his burly henchmen,
Boss Fang ultimately knew better than to resist. "No problem, I'll go with you. Let me just say a few words to my employees."
Gao Jin nodded, "Alright, I'll wait for you here."
Boss Fang could only go back and give his employees a few instructions before reluctantly getting in the car with Gao Jin, to meet Chu Feng, the leader of Chung Yee Sin.
...
Half an hour later, the door to Chu Feng's office was knocked on.
"Knock knock knock."
Chu Feng said in a deep voice, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the henchman walked in and reported to Chu Feng,
"Boss, Jin-ge has brought Boss Fang over. He's waiting for you in the lounge."
Chu Feng nodded, "I know."
Then, he got up and went to the lounge, and soon saw Boss Fang in the lounge.
Boss Fang was sitting there, fidgeting with discomfort, looking around, clearly unable to sit still.
When Boss Fang saw Chu Feng enter, he quickly got up.
Gao Jin introduced Boss Fang, "Boss Fang, this is my boss, Chu Feng."
Fang Jiang He quickly called out, "Boss Chu."
Boss Fang was very polite, afraid of offending Chu Feng.
Chu Feng smiled and sat down, looking at Boss Fang, his tone calm, "Boss Fang, have a seat. No need to be so polite."
Boss Fang nodded repeatedly, but he was still a bit stiff. He dared not show any temper in front of these ruthless Triad members.
Chu Feng got straight to the point, "I've called you here, Boss Fang, because I want to be friends with you."
Boss Fang was taken aback by his words, but quickly went along with it. From the movie, it was clear that Boss Fang was a man who knew how to read the situation and adapt, which was why he was able to establish such close ties with the mainland officials.
Boss Fang acted excited, "Brother Feng, of course, I'd like to be friends with you. More connections are always better in Hong Kong."
"But I don't know why Brother Feng called me here. If there's anything I can do, I'll be happy to help!"
Chu Feng nodded, this Fang Jiang He was indeed a smooth talker. No wonder he was able to build such strong ties with the mainland officials in the movie.
Chu Feng didn't beat around the bush, "Boss Fang, I know your Yi Fa Trading specializes in smuggling. I'm planning to get into the appliance smuggling business too."
"But I don't have the mainland licenses or connections. I hope you can connect me with people on the mainland and help me get the necessary licenses."
As he finished speaking, Chu Feng pulled out a check from his suit pocket, signed an amount on it, and handed it to Boss Fang:
"This check is for 2 million, consider it a gift for your trouble, Boss Fang. At the same time, I owe you a favor."
"From now on, Boss Fang, you are my friend. If you have any trouble in Hong Kong, come to me. I'll help you solve it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Fang couldn't help but look at Chu Feng several times.
At first, when Chu Feng mentioned needing his connections and channels, Boss Fang was a little unhappy.
But seeing Chu Feng being so open and honest, not only giving him a gift of 2 million but also saying he owed him a favor, Boss Fang's face immediately broke into a smile.
After all, Chu Feng was giving him a lot of face. He wasn't someone who would turn down a good opportunity.
Boss Fang said with a smile, "No problem, Brother Feng, my Yi Fa Trading may be new, but I have connections."
"Brother Feng, you can register an export trading company, I'll help you get the mainland connections, getting a license is easy, we'll be friends from then on!"
Chu Feng smiled slightly, "Boss Fang, I like making friends with people like you."
Chu Feng chatted with Boss Fang for a while, then Boss Fang took the initiative to leave. It was mainly because Chu Feng gave him face, easing Boss Fang's worries.
Moreover, Chu Feng said he would look after him in Hong Kong. With the protection of Chung Yee Sin, the largest Triad in Hong Kong, he wouldn't have to worry about trouble anymore.
In the future, no one would dare to cause trouble for Yi Fa Trading, so Boss Fang had no resistance to the idea. Besides, the mainland market was so vast, he couldn't possibly monopolize it all.
After Boss Fang left, Chu Feng signed another check, this time for 20 million, and handed it to Gao Jin:
"Gao Jin, take these 20 million and work with Boss Fang to get the appliance smuggling business going as soon as possible."
Chu Feng had seen the movie and knew that the appliance smuggling business was incredibly profitable in the later stages. The movie clearly showed that.
A television sold for 2,000 in Hong Kong, but it could be sold for 6,000 or even 8,000 in mainland China. It was truly a lucrative business.
Yi Fa Trading had just started, and once the scale expanded, it would be a very profitable endeavor. It was also a source of income that Chu Feng was eyeing.
Gao Jin took the check and nodded,
"No problem, Boss."
It must be said that Gao Jin was a talented individual. Chu Feng would give him a task, and Gao Jin would handle it perfectly without needing much supervision.
Moreover, Gao Jin, to help Chu Feng manage his business, was even studying business management at university. In his free time, he would attend lectures by professors. He was even more diligent than his boss. There really weren't many Triads who were smart and capable!
