【055】The Birth of a First Digit
While Tian Yangsheng was "training police dogs," in a warehouse at the Yau Ma Tei pier...
"Found $100 million, which can be exchanged for 750 million lottery points. Do you wish to exchange it?"
As soon as Lin Haowen came into contact with the 100 million US dollars, the system's voice immediately rang in his mind.
"Exchange 40 million lottery points and start the lottery."
Lin Haowen silently vowed to himself that he would upgrade the system first and see how the lottery would go after the upgrade.
"Congratulations, host, you have won a high-level power voucher. Would you like to use it?"
"Congratulations, host, you have drawn the skill [Gambling Skill]."
"Congratulations, host, you have drawn the skill [Disguise]."
After accumulating 100 million lottery points, the advanced lottery becomes the most "ordinary" lottery, except that the number of lottery points required for each draw increases from 500,000 to 5 million, a tenfold increase.
"Recharge 100 million and start the lottery."
Lin Haowen took a deep breath and silently recited.
"Congratulations, host, you have drawn a top-tier skill book. Would you like to use it?"
"Congratulations, host, you have won a Superior Power Voucher. Would you like to use it?"
……
Just when Lin Haowen thought the system was just undergoing a "routine" upgrade.
"Congratulations, host, you have won '100 cubic meters of storage space'!"
"Congratulations, host, you have drawn the beginner-level talent [Ten Steps Piercing Yang] (Ten Steps Piercing Yang: Within ten meters, every shot within the host's sight will hit its mark)."
The system's two sentences made Lin Haowen's eyes light up. A lottery with five million yuan could indeed yield good things. Just the initial talent allowed him to hit any target within ten meters.
Needless to say, there's plenty of storage space. Lin Haowen can hide away many things that are inconvenient to expose, such as the remaining US dollars in front of him.
With a single thought from Lin Haowen, the US dollars in front of him vanished instantly.
Lin Haowen did not continue the lottery draw, but left the warehouse directly. He had other uses for the remaining money.
"Heaven nurtures righteousness, heaven nurtures martial prowess, heaven nurtures ambition... heaven nurtures thought, paying respects to Brother Wen!"
After Lin Haowen came out of the warehouse, Tian Yangyi and the other six people who were guarding outside knelt down on one knee, holding up the herbal tea they had bought from who-knows-where, and said respectfully.
"After we finish these six cups of tea, we'll be brothers, sharing both good times and bad."
Lin Haowen accepted each of the six cups of herbal tea and drank them all in one gulp.
The next day, noon.
"Mr. Lin, Oriental Security Company and Oriental Construction Company have already completed their registration. As for Qian Wendi and Robinson, I've found a way, but I need some funding."
Huang Dawen looked at Lin Haowen sitting opposite him and said with a smile.
"How many?"
Lin Haowen asked calmly.
"Two million Hong Kong dollars, because we needed to get things done with hospitals and the Department of Justice..."
Before Huang Dawen could finish speaking, Lin Haowen waved his hand to interrupt him, "Alright, Attorney Huang, you don't need to explain to me, I believe you."
After saying that, Lin Haowen took out his checkbook, signed a check for 2.2 million, and pushed it in front of Huang Dawen.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Huang Dawen smiled broadly.
After Huang Dawen left, Lin Haowen picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Xiang Dong, find a way to send an invitation to all the well-known triad leaders in Hong Kong Island, inviting them to attend the opening ceremony of Oriental Security Company in seven days."
After the call connected, Lin Haowen said with a smile.
Upon hearing Lin Haowen's words, Li Xiangdong's eyes flickered slightly. Having stayed in Hong Kong for so long, he had learned a lot about the rules of the Hong Kong underworld.
The so-called opening ceremony of the security company was actually just Lam Ho-man telling the whole of Hong Kong that he was going to establish a new business.
According to the rules of the Hong Kong triads, to open a new triad in Hong Kong, a challenge must be set up, and other triads are free to come and challenge it within seven days. If no one takes down the triad after seven days, then Hong Kong will have a new triad.
"Okay, Brother Wen."
Thinking of this, Li Xiangdong immediately replied.
Soon, well-known triads in Hong Kong, including Tung Sing, Sun Kee, Number Gang, Wo Luen Shing, and Hung Hing, all received 'invitations' from Lam Ho-man, causing quite a stir.
……
On the other side, on the twelfth floor of an office building in Yau Ma Tei, the words "Chung Shun Finance Company" are written in gold lettering.
"Young Master Dong!"
"Young Master Dong!"
Wearing sunglasses, Lian Haodong walked into his older brother Lian Haolong's office amidst greetings.
"Ah Dong, you've come at the right time. I just received an invitation from Lin Haowen. He said his security company is opening in seven days. Could you go there for me and deliver a flower basket?"
Lian Haolong looked up at Lian Haodong and said with a smile.
"Tch, so what if it's a security company? Dude, if you ask me, sending someone to deliver a flower basket would be enough to give that kid Lin Haowen face. Why do I have to make the whole trip?"
Although Lian Haodong said those words, his eyes were filled with jealousy.
Lin Haowen made a name for himself in Hong Kong Island in just a few days and established a new triad just like his older brother, Lian Haolong. Lian Haodong, who has been in the industry for more than ten years, is still the second young master of the Lian family and the younger brother of Lian Haolong.
"Hong Kong Island is a very complicated place. To be able to gain a foothold in Tsim Sha Tsui in such a short time, he must have a powerful backer. I'm not giving him face, but giving face to his master."
Lian Haolong said slowly.
His ability to establish Chung Shun Yi was not only due to his formidable martial prowess as the "Number One in Kowloon," but also largely due to the support of his patron, Hui Shing Tin.
Unfortunately, the economic crisis a few years ago caused Xu Chengtian's assets to shrink significantly, and his status in the Hong Kong business community was severely damaged. He even had to rely on Chung Shun Yi for financial support.
Lin Haolong, once known as "Kowloon's Number One," was now confined to Yau Ma Tei, which was his greatest regret.
"Then go with someone else. I'm currently pursuing Mona, so I don't have much free time."
At this point, Lian Haodong seemed to remember something and complained, "Damn it, this woman was so slutty when Liu Yaozu was alive, but now that Liu Yaozu is dead, she's acting like a chaste saint and won't even let anyone touch her."
Although Lian Haodong said that, he felt that Mengna now made him even more excited.
"She used to be Liu Yaozu's tool. She did whatever Liu Yaozu told her to do. Now that she is the owner of Henglai Hotel, she naturally has to cherish her reputation."
Lian Haolong said calmly.
"Brother, didn't the old man send someone to inform you that if we don't interfere with Mona, he'll give us all of Tung Sing's business in Yau Ma Tei?"
At this point, Lian Haodong quickly walked up to Lian Haolong and lowered his voice, "Mona killed Lei Yaoyang, and Bai Touweng is definitely not coming to her with good intentions. We can take this opportunity to extort benefits from Mona. If she can't offer better terms than Bai Touweng, then we, Zhongxinyi, will have no choice but to remain neutral."
Lian Haodong looked excited.
"..."
Lian Haolong frowned slightly but did not speak.
"Brother, you're not still talking about brotherhood and loyalty, are you? It's this day and age. Now it's all about self-preservation."
Seeing that Lian Haolong did not respond, Lian Haodong became a little anxious.
"I think you're just trying to take this opportunity to force Mona into bed, aren't you?"
Lian Haolong glanced at Lian Haodong.
"Hehe, big brother, getting Mona is the same as getting the Henglai Hotel, which is a great thing for the Lian family."
Lian Haodong chuckled.
Lian Haolong didn't say anything more, but waved his hand, indicating that Lian Haodong could leave.
……
That evening, in the mezzanine above the Golden Wind Nightclub, in what used to be Han Chen's office.
Lin Haowen was carefully studying the information about the Luo family that Ya Zi had sent him.
Ring ring ring~
Just then, a cell phone rang.
"Brother Wen, it's me, Mona."
Lin Haowen picked up his phone and pressed the answer button. Mengna's voice came through the receiver.
