Chapter 493 Xu Legong is also helpless against Su Mingzhe
In the reception room.

Su Mingzhe sat on the sofa with his arms and legs spread out, slurping the wolfberry and ginseng tea that his female secretary had made for him.

Linda was worried that her boss had too many social engagements and was losing his physical strength, so she took the initiative to ask someone to buy some Chinese herbs such as wolfberry and ginseng to strengthen the body, and she made this wolfberry and ginseng tea.

For Su Mingzhe, who can extract vital energy from any food, the vital energy replenished by eating ten steamed buns is no less than that replenished by eating one ginseng.

Therefore, Su Mingzhe does not need to eat wolfberries, let alone drink ginseng tea.

However, it is not easy to talk about this kind of thing with the female secretary who cares about me.

Thinking that this was all the secretary's good intentions, Su Mingzhe just let her do as she pleased.

After drinking a cup of wolfberry and ginseng tea, I felt warm inside. I reached out and patted the female secretary who was massaging my shoulders, signaling her to call the person outside in.

After a while, eighteen bodyguards in suits, led by the security captain, came in one after another, standing on both sides of Su Mingzhe, with their lapels slightly open, revealing the short jackets pinned to their waists.

After a while, seven gangsters who came to collect land fees were brought in by security guards.

"Boss, everyone has been brought."

The bodyguard captain Hao Liwen first reported to Su Mingzhe, and after receiving a signal from Su Mingzhe, he gleamed fiercely, opened his mouth wide, and revealed two rows of ferocious teeth: "You came to our Jinlong Property Company to collect the land transfer fee?"

After the spread of news from both the black and white worlds over the past two days, Jinlong Property has become notorious.

Because Yan Tong's face was rubbed on the ground, and then the two sides reconciled.

Today, Su Mingzhe’s fame is no less than that of the four major underworld families and four major gangs.

These seven people came to Jinlong Property to collect the land fees, so naturally they already had a deep understanding of this.

"Yes, we are here to collect the land fee."

Faced with Hao Liwen's questions, these seven gangsters dared not not answer.

However, when answering the questions, a few of the thugs were so scared that their legs were trembling and sweat was pouring down their backs.

At this point, they did not dare to hide the situation and immediately explained their purpose and origins in detail.

These seven henchmen came from seven different gangs. They all drew the lottery of life and death and were sent by the bosses of their own gangs to collect the land transfer fees.

Before they came, the society had even given them resettlement allowance.

At this point, there was no way for these seven thugs to retreat or get out.

"... Jinlong Property Management needs to pay 80,000 taels of land fee here."

"We have 60,000 here."

"We have 50,000 here."

……

Seven people took turns quoting the price of the land fees and explained in detail the calculation standards for these land fees.

Finally, Linda did some calculations and found that if Jinlong Property Management was prepared to pay the land transfer fee, a total of 370,000 yuan would be required.

However, the fees paid this time included the land fees owed from previous months.

From now on, you only need to pay 120,000 to 150,000 yuan every month, which is more than one million yuan a year.

“This price is not outrageous!”

Su Mingzhe was also quite familiar with the market price of Tuodi Fee, and knew that these thugs did not make random offers, so he nodded silently and snorted:
"Last time you came here, you said you wanted to collect five million. What happened?"

Seeing that Su Mingzhe's tone was good, the seven lackeys sensed a chance of survival and quickly explained:
"Boss Ye, the reason they asked for so much money before was because the previous people used the land fees confiscated in the previous months as a loan... This matter has nothing to do with us."

"is it?"

Su Mingzhe was too lazy to vent his anger with a few small fry and just waved his hand.

Linda took out a black canvas bag from the safe in the lounge, unzipped it, and revealed dozens of bundles of brand new hundred-dollar bills.

"The money is right here. Since you have the guts to collect the land fee, come and get it."

Su Mingzhe said this and asked Hao Liwen to carry the canvas bag over and let the seven men take the money themselves.

These thugs were already in a difficult situation, so they gritted their teeth and took the money according to the amount agreed upon in advance.

Su Mingzhe watched as these thugs took the money and left in a hurry. Only then did a meaningful smile appear on his face.

"Manager Hao, how many people does our security company have now?"

Hao Liwen replied:
"There are more than 560 employees in the security department, including 540 security personnel, including 320 people who have officially started work and 220 people who are still receiving training."

"Continue to recruit more people. The security team must be at least 3,000 people. In addition, the trained employees will be dispersed among all the buildings under the company's name to ensure that each building has sufficient manpower to deal with unexpected situations. Last time, we talked about setting up a full-network monitoring system. Don't control the cost. Within a week, the monitoring systems of each building and even the streets near the building must be monitored. Once an abnormality is found, report it to the headquarters immediately."

"Yes! Boss, I'll do it right away."

Hao Liwen fought in South Vietnam and after wandering to Hong Kong, he made a living by working as a professional hunter.

During a mission, he was seriously injured and hid in a building under the name of Jinlong Property. When he was searched by the gang, he was rescued by Su Mingzhe.

Since then, Hao Liwen started working at Jinlong Property, and soon became the captain of the security department with his rich social experience and strong working ability.

According to the rules of the association, now that the company has paid the land transfer fee, those associations will no longer cause trouble for the Jinlong Property Company.

In Hao Liwen's opinion, there is really no need for the company to spend so much effort on the security department.

However, since his boss Su Mingzhe had given the order, Hao Liwen resolutely carried out the order.

That afternoon, he found special channels, purchased various surveillance equipment, and installed surveillance equipment in the company and various buildings overnight.

On the second day.

Hao Liwen was catching up on his sleep in the lounge when he was hurriedly awakened by his men.

"Captain, there are suddenly a lot of thugs outside the company. They look like they have bad intentions and are all gathering around our company."

"How many minions are there?"

"About fifty or so."

"Ask someone to find out which society he belongs to."

Hao Liwen was not surprised by the news that there were a lot of gangsters near the company.

Golden Dragon Property Building is located in Yau Tsim Mong, a prosperous area in West Kowloon.

There are dozens of active communities in this area.

It is common for societies to fight and kill each other and compete for territory.

Every month, there would be a group horse show (group fight) next to the property company.

As for the scale, some are big and some are small. The smallest ones involve dozens of people, while the largest ones involve thousands of people.

Therefore, Hao Liwen did not take this matter very seriously.

As for asking his men to investigate the situation, it was just because Hao Liwen needed to obtain specific information according to his work habits.

Another moment passed.

After washing up, Hao Liwen came to the company cafeteria and was about to have breakfast when another of his subordinates ran over with a particularly strange expression.

"Captain, the boss's secretary called and said the boss wants you to go to the office as soon as possible."

"The boss is looking for me? Now?"

"Now."

"Take it back to the office for me!"

When Hao Liwen heard that his boss was summoning him, he put the breakfast directly into his subordinates' hands and strode to the elevator door.

While waiting for the elevator, Hao Liwen used the smooth elevator door as a mirror to adjust his appearance. Soon, he took the elevator to the top floor of the building.

At the door of Su Mingzhe's office.

"Manager Hao, the boss is waiting for you inside."

When Linda saw Hao Liwen coming, she stood up and greeted him out of courtesy.

"Thank you Miss Linda."

Hao Liwen stood at the door, took a deep breath, then knocked on the door. After getting the boss's consent, he pushed the door open.

Su Mingzhe was sitting in his boss chair, drinking wolfberry and ginseng tea leisurely:

"Manager Hao is here, please take a seat."

"thank you boss."

Hao Liwen knew that his boss was kind and amiable in his dealings with others, but his methods were extremely strange and powerful, so after he joined the company, he always maintained awe and loyalty to his boss Su Mingzhe.

"Did you see those people surrounding the company?"

Su Mingzhe took a sip of ginseng tea and pointed in the direction of the French window with the hand holding the teacup lid:

"Do you know where these people came from?"

"Boss, I've asked someone to investigate, and I believe there will be news soon."

Hao Liwen didn't expect that Su Mingzhe would be interested in this matter, and immediately realized that maybe his sensitivity to the matter had decreased.

"No need to investigate, these people were sent by those seven societies."

Su Mingzhe was not afraid of exposing anything. He showed a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth, as well as a smug smile:
"My principle in life and work is that if someone respects me, I will give him a foot. If someone criticizes me, I will take away three bushels! They took 370,000 from me yesterday, so I found someone to go to their club and take away 37 million last night."

When Hao Liwen heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He knew that Su Mingzhe looked generous, but sometimes he could be very petty.

However, he did not expect that Su Mingzhe would send someone to bring back a hundred times the land transfer fee that he had just taken away yesterday that same night.

Isn't this a slap in the face of those societies?
No wonder I was forced to work hard to recruit people and install a surveillance system yesterday.

Su Mingzhe continued:
"These societies found out they lost money today, and they will definitely guess that it was me. However, firstly, they have no evidence, and secondly, the people I sent didn't do anything extreme. They just took the money back at a hundred times the rate. If these societies are aware of the situation, they will definitely find someone to negotiate and seek reconciliation, but we must also be prepared for the worst. If a society leader has a bad temper and impulsively comes to the company to cause trouble, your security department must protect the company's property safety."

"Don't worry, boss. The security department will definitely not fail at such a critical moment."

Hao Liwen stood up straight instantly and assured his boss in his loud voice.

"Go."

Su Mingzhe originally wanted to discuss the security measures with Hao Liwen, but the phone on the table rang again.

After Hao Liwen left, Su Mingzhe picked up the phone:

"Hey?"

"Brother Ye, I'm Zhuyouzi."

Zhuyouzai was still the same as before, no matter what he said, his tone was always smiling.

Su Mingzhe also couldn't see Zhuyouzi's expression, and responded with a smile:
"Brother Zai, how come you have time to call me? Don't you have another good property to recommend to me?"

Su Mingzhe chatted with Zhuyouzai about family matters with a smile on his face.

The two have worked together happily in the past six months.

Su Mingzhe bought a house through Zhuyouzai, and Zhuyouzai got discounts in return.

Both of them are quite satisfied with this cooperation.

After Lard Boy laughed, he said in a nonchalant tone:

"Brother, the New Year is coming soon, there are not so many properties to sell. You should put aside your company affairs for now. There is a party this weekend. I will introduce you to some new friends. How about that?"

"Okay, where is the location?"

Su Mingzhe asked for the location, but a strange look flashed in his eyes:

"No. 177 Victoria Street, this place seems to be Yan Tong's home, right? There is a party at Yan Tong's home, and Zhuyouzi sent an invitation to himself? How weird, how weird!"

On the other side, Zhuyouzai, who had hung up the phone, could not have imagined that he just gave an address, but Su Mingzhe actually knew that this place belonged to Yan Tong.

Yan Tong, who was sitting next to Zhu Youzai, saw Zhu Youzai hang up the phone, and asked anxiously:
"Is this Ye Song coming?"

"Master Yan, Boss Ye has agreed to come to the party."

Zhuyouzi replied to Yan Tong, and then said respectfully to a handsome middle-aged man next to him:
"Brother Le, do you want any special arrangements for tonight?"

Xu Legong was also sitting next to him.

In the room, there were not only Xu Legong, Yan Tong and Zhu Youzai, but also the two chief Chinese detectives Lin Gang and Wang Tong.

The four chief Chinese detectives gathered together, and their purpose was certainly not to invite Su Mingzhe to a party.

However, the topic that the four chief Chinese detectives were discussing was interrupted by the sudden news.

"These cowards, their own warehouse was even broken into by someone, and they didn't find out until the next day. Why don't they just die?"

When Xu Legong learned that 37 million yuan had been stolen from seven societies, he was almost furious.

Because, among these seven associations, he supports three of them.

The theft of these three societies is equivalent to the theft of Xu Legong.

The lair of one of the four chief Chinese detectives was robbed. When Xu Legong got the news, his first thought was to catch the thief and cut him into pieces or execute him by slow slicing.

Fortunately, Yan Tong, Zhu Youzai and others were there and stopped Xu Legong from getting angry in time.

The value of the treasures piled up in the warehouses of the seven societies must definitely exceed nine figures.

However, the person who stole the money only took 37 million, not a penny more or less.

This clearly tells the seven societies that the purpose of stealing money this time is not for "money" but as a warning.

When Yan Tong heard the news, he felt a little relieved and secretly happy.

He was thankful that two days ago, Jinlong Property Management only made two or three hundred of his subordinates sick for a day and a night, and they were cured the next day, so he didn't spend much of his own money.

He was secretly happy because he had lost face two days ago and was laughed at by others for two days. Now, Xu Legong had lost more face than himself.

From now on, the eldest brother should stop making fun of the second brother.

Xu Legong naturally knew that everyone was waiting to see his reaction, but he was not sure he could deal with Su Mingzhe.

Just when Xu Legong was in a dilemma, Zhu Youzai stood up and said that he could invite Su Mingzhe over so that everyone could sit down and have a good talk.

Everyone is out here to make money.

Harmony brings wealth, and harmony is the most precious thing.

With Zhuyouzai handing him the ladder, Xu Legong was able to go down the stairs.

"Don't make any arrangements for now, let's see if he can make it."

Xu Legong looked like he had everything under control, as if he was sure he could deal with Su Mingzhe.

But those who knew him well knew that if he was slapped in the face and didn't slap back, he must have been at his wits' end.

After all, Xu Legong has never been a kind and generous person.
