Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

He Lai acted immediately and soon found Bo Hao again to discuss the jade gemstone matter.

After hearing this, Bo Hao was also surprised.

"Aqiang, you want to start a jade jewelry business? It seems that Li Shengze and his friends have always been doing this. How is it, is it profitable?"

"Crime" asked while smoking a cigar.

As early as 1964, Myanmar closed its jade trading channel with Hong Kong. Therefore, if you want to purchase jade from Myanmar, you can either buy it directly from the government or rely on smuggling.

However, the official price is many times more expensive than the smuggled price, so it is almost impossible for anyone to buy it through legitimate channels.

"Brother Hao, the profit here is quite big. I plan to take out some of the idle funds in the company and do this business, so I need your help. Of course, you can name the price."

He Lai explained.

"Aqiang, it's okay for me to get involved in this jade business, but you also know that in the jade industry, a piece of stone may weigh dozens or hundreds of kilograms, which is not easy to transport. In addition, the raw stone is a matter of luck. I'm afraid that I won't be able to mine jade after all the trouble I've gone through. Don't blame me then."

Bo Hao said that after all, the gambling stone industry already exists in Hong Kong City. It is a situation where one cut can lead to heaven or hell. If you get a good jade, it can naturally be worth millions or even tens of millions, but if you don’t get it, then you will lose all your money.

"Brother Hao, don't worry, I will bear the loss myself. Besides, I will let a jade master go with me, so he won't be so blind that he can't cut anything.

What I buy is not only jade and emeralds, but also gemstones, red and green gemstones, which is what I want to focus on. "

He Lai took out a few gems from his pocket and showed them to Bo Hao.

Of course, these gems were previously taken from HSBC Bank.

Bo Hao looked at the gems and immediately relaxed. He said with a smile, "A Qiang, this is good. There are plenty of them in the Golden Triangle. We can have as many as you want."

"That's great, Brother Hao. You can keep the jade first, and you can help me get some more gemstones first."

He Lai smiled.

"Okay, no problem, but how much are you willing to give?"

"Lie Hao asked.

"How about this price? I'll double the price you paid for it from Myanmar. What do you think, Brother Hao?"

"Really? Double?"

When Bo Hao heard that he could double his money by just doing a reverse move, he was also impressed by He Lai's generosity.

Although drugs can make more money, with profits that can be multiplied by more than ten times, drugs are risky and have to be sold everywhere, distributed to younger brothers, police stations, and the like, so there won't be much left for you.

"If you don't believe me, I can just write you a check."

As He said this, he took out a checkbook, wrote down the figure of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, tore it off and gave it directly to Bo Hao.

Bo Hao looked at the check in his hand, dazed, and was very surprised at what He Lai did. Could it be that this thing was so profitable that it was worth such a huge investment by He Lai?

"Okay, I'll take this business. Don't worry, I, Bo Hao, am a man of integrity. Since you want to do this business, I, your brother Hao, will definitely do it for you."

"Lie Hao said proudly.

After He Lai came to discuss the main business, he began to talk about another purpose, flour.

"Brother Hao, there is something I still want to tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Brother Hao, can we stop selling flour?"

He Lai suggested.

"What! Ah Qiang, do you know what you are talking about? You want me to give up drug trafficking. You know I can get to where I am today because of drug trafficking, right?"

"Lie Hao said with a sullen face.

The flour business was so huge that it was thanks to this business that Bo Hao was able to make hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in just a few years, allowing him to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong underworld.

Thirty tons of flour in ten years is not just talk, it is real.

"Brother Hao, don't get excited! Let's talk slowly. I'm doing this for your own good."

He Lai said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, then you say."

"Brother Hao, you have been in the flour business for nearly seven or eight years."

"Well, almost."

"So how much did you earn?"

"Aqiang, if you want to calculate the money, it depends on how you calculate it. If you want to know how much I personally earned, it's not much, probably only about 100 million.

But the society in Hong Kong has always been one that values ​​seniority and friendship. When I, Bo Hao, sell one kilogram of flour, one-tenth of it goes to the detectives in the police station, one-tenth to the uncles in the gang, and more than half to the younger brothers below me. The rest is mine.

This is not like your legitimate business where you just pay workers and pay taxes.

A Qiang, do you know how many people I have under my command? I roughly counted them the other day and there were nearly 15,000 of them.

So many people depend on me for their livelihood, why don’t you let me do this flour business?”

"Crippled Hao analyzed.

"Brother Hao, you are exaggerating a bit. To be frank, among these ten thousand people, how many of them rely on you for a living, and how many of them support themselves? I think you should know better than me.

What about parking staff, security guards, street vendors, and debt collectors? I, Wu Qiang, am not a three-year-old child. Brother Hao is still calculating these with me. "

He Lai was speechless.

"Haha, kid, I really can't fool you, but your brother Hao really didn't lie to you. I still have a large number of flour stalls under my control, and nearly a thousand people rely on them for their livelihood."

Bo Hao laughed and spoke frankly.

"But to be honest, Aqiang, you don't know that even if I, Wu Shihao, don't come out to sell flour, the Renma brothers will not sell it, and Lao Huzai and the others will still sell flour.

When I first came to Hong Kong, I hated flour, and I knew it was harmful. There were a lot of skinny people lying everywhere in Kowloon Walled City, but what could I do? Hong Kong was not ruled by me alone. Maybe in the eyes of those Eagles, I was just a servant!"

Lao Hao continued to tell the story.

"Brother Hao, no matter what you say, I can tell you responsibly that the Hong Kong City government will not tolerate it for too long. The era of collusion between police and criminals will sooner or later pass. If you can avoid drugs, then don't touch them. Brother Hao, you also have to make plans for the future. Among pornography, gambling and drugs, the other two are okay, but drugs are something that everyone in Hong Kong hates.

Once the government takes action, you only have one way to go, which is to escape from Hong Kong and live abroad.

besides……"

He Lai tells a lot of stories and analyzes what will happen to Bo Hao in the future. Of course, the purpose is to make Bo Hao realize the harm of drugs so that he can get out of the city early.

For He Lai, drugs, apart from making money, are harmful to the country and the people. They are the most harmful of all the illegal ways to make money. One of the reasons why China has fallen into this situation is partly because of opium!

The two Opium Wars completely opened the door to China, turning it into a colony of others.

Moreover, He Lai knew very well that in Hong Kong City, other side businesses might still be able to survive, and it would be relatively easy to whitewash them, and there would not be much problem in continuing to do so.

But drugs are not a good thing. Once you are addicted, it will be very difficult to clean yourself up. Even the Ma brothers can escape to Taiwan Island in the future.

He Lai wants to take this opportunity to get Bo Hao out of the flour industry so that he will have a chance to clean himself up in the future. Now is the right time period.

Unlike Lei Luo, Lei Luo is a public official who was held accountable for corruption and bribery. He probably had already planned to flee Hong Kong in the future.

But跛豪 is different. As long as he leaves the drug industry now and operates properly, he can definitely become a boost to Helai's development. After all, Hong Kong is ultimately dominated by the underworld.

With this relationship with跛豪, he doesn't have to worry about being harassed by other forces.

Of course, it is not impossible to do without Bo Hao. After all, Lei Luo introduced him to many gang leaders, and he can also support a new gang like those rich people.
