Chapter 229 Asking for help
Apart from the fact that Fang Hexuan had a hold on him, it seemed that he was the only beneficiary in the whole process.

This sour and contradictory feeling made Wong Yuk-lang increasingly afraid and wary of Fang.

Fang Hexuan hardly took any action on the surface, but he played all the people involved in the palm of his hand.

If this kind of tactic was really used against him, Wong Yuk-long couldn't imagine how he would respond.

Maybe we will be like these fellow companies and have no power to fight back. Maybe at best both sides will suffer losses?

He smiled at himself and felt a little pathetic!

But Fang Hexuan did not intend to stop after letting him take over 6 companies, and ordered him to continue to kill them all.

This made Wong Yuk-long feel a strong sense of crisis.

I had met with a man named Fang at the Peninsula Hotel before, and he threatened to expose his scandal if I didn't obey.

He was indeed very scared and angry that time.

But at most that would just cost him his reputation or send him to jail.

But now, if Fang continues to deal with Yulang International after taking down these 19 companies, he may lose his career or even go bankrupt and become a pauper.

Without money and in jail, is it possible for him to rise again?
Even if I can make a comeback, who can guarantee that Mr. Fang won't continue to make things difficult for me?
I was just laughing at myself, but now the more I think about it, the more scared I become.

The next day, Li Huanggua met with Huang Yulang in his office.

If the weasel hadn't made an appointment in advance, he would probably have never had the chance to see the cucumber.

After all, the other party is not just a Cheung Kong Group, but an entire large group company to manage.

After he and Fang Hexuan reconciled and divided Hutchison Whampoa, he rarely saw the other party again.

The two men were almost completely strangers to each other, but they never interacted with each other until they died.

At most, they would nod to each other as a greeting when attending some events together.

Most of this was because Huanggua had a grudge against Fang Hexuan, and the knot in his heart after being severely blackmailed by the other party would probably never be resolved until his death.

When his fellow villager Huang Yulang called him, Huanggua had already guessed the purpose of his visit.

Although he hated Fang Hexuan, it didn't mean he didn't pay attention to this person's movements.

In his opinion, the fact that his enemy was the richest man meant that he was not just lucky. At least his several operations in the stock market were as insightful as his own.

What's more, he is now actively expanding the mainland market. He has been to the north two or three times and has heard from some big names in the same industry that Fang Hexuan is highly valued.

Therefore, he intuitively believed that many of Fang Hexuan's business operations might be supported by intelligence information from multiple sources.

In the business world, information barriers are more terrifying than wealth gaps.

Huanggua believes that sometimes when you really don’t know how to make a decision, you might as well look at what Fang does.

He took the time to learn about the dispute in the Hong Kong comics industry and saw many familiar techniques in it.

Before this, he reviewed the situation many times and found that Fang Hexuan was very good at using media opinion to gain an advantage for himself.

Although this is almost common sense in Hong Kong, it is not easy to play with it.

After further in-depth analysis, we realized that behind the use of public opinion is intelligence support that few people notice.

Huanggua certainly knew that Fang Hexuan controlled many social groups, but he believed that his intelligence sources must not only come from the social groups, there must be other channels.

And this is what Chaozhou Li has been studying and pondering.

Many comic companies have been exposed by the media and investigated by the authorities. It seems that people behind the scenes are manipulating the media and public power, and there must be intelligence means to dig up black material.

Of course, these were all discoveries that Li Huanggua had figured out in his spare time. But he couldn't decide whether to help Huang Yulang.

Although both of them are from Chaozhou and have communicated with each other at hometown gatherings, to be honest, they do not have much contact in their daily lives.

One is in real estate and diversified operations, the other is in the entertainment industry. The differences are so huge, how much communication can there be?
But since the other party has come to you asking for help, turning them away will only damage your reputation in the business world, especially in the Chaoshan business circle.

In the game with Fang Hexuan, the political and business connections behind the other party were also one of the reasons why he was always passive.

Therefore, Huanggua has been deliberately making more friends and strengthening his influence in the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.

After the host and the guests were seated, Huanggua warmly invited Huang Yulang to have tea, and the two began to chat.

"Mr. Li, I am sorry for coming to your house this time. The situation is really critical. Please forgive me."

"Hey, that's too much. Mr. Huang thought of me in a time of crisis, which is a gift to me. How can it be considered as presumptuous?"

"Thank you, Mr. Huang. I won't beat around the bush. I came here this time hoping that Mr. Li would help me out since we are both from Chaoshan."

"Oh? What kind of trouble has Mr. Huang encountered?"

Li Huanggua asked the question even though he knew the answer. Even if he really wanted to help, he couldn't show too much enthusiasm, as that would make the other party suspicious.

"To be honest, from the beginning to the end, I was schemed by Fang."

"Now, he has information that is unfavorable to me, so I have no choice but to give in and help him fight against my peers."

"But I'm worried that in the end, there will be only a few comic book companies left in Hong Kong, and he will definitely turn around and target Yulang International and me."

"Mr. Li, I'm not just making random guesses. You've fought him before, so you must have experienced his methods."

Cucumber nodded in agreement and asked sincerely:
"So, how do you want me to help you?"

"If Fang harms me and Yulang International, I hope Mr. Li and Chaoshan merchants can speak out for me."

"that's it?"

"Also, if necessary, can you please help me, Mr. Li, to resist Mr. Fang's hostile takeover of Yulang International?"

Finally, the point was reached, but Cucumber did not agree immediately. Instead, he pretended to think and remained silent for more than ten seconds.

"Please tell me clearly, Mr. Huang, how can I help you stop the other party's acquisition?"

Wong Yuk-long also knew that he had to show his cards, otherwise there would be no way to obtain the other party's consent.

".Yulang International can accept Mr. Li's investment. I hope you can become the white knight in the hostile takeover."

Huanggua then smiled with satisfaction and asked the other party to continue sipping tea.

Wong Yuk-long continued to add:
"Mr. Li, I think if we just defend blindly, it will be too passive. How about..."

"Not as good as what?"

"Why don't we take the initiative and expose the dirty laundry of Fang and all his companies to the media and the Hong Kong government?"

After listening to this, Huanggua looked at Huang Yulang meaningfully and asked leisurely:

"How do you find these dirty details?"
