Huo Wenyao was very satisfied with Lin Huaiyue's words and immediately extended his hand.
"Then happy cooperation!"
Without saying a word, Lin Huaiyue decisively shook hands with Huo Wenyao, and then couldn't help but say,
"Thank you so much, Brother Yao, for giving me this opportunity!"
"I'll drink this glass first as a sign of respect!"
After Lin Huai Le finished speaking, he immediately picked up his wine glass and drank it down in a big gulp, showing great sincerity.
Huo Wenyao also drank it all in one gulp with great gusto.
Immediately, the atmosphere at the scene became harmonious.
Even Tian Yangsheng and Qiu Gang'ao softened their coldness towards Lin Huaile, which finally made Lin Huaile relax.
To be honest, Huo Wenyao and his group put a lot of pressure on him!
After a moment's thought, Lin Huaiyue, having reached an agreement, immediately said...
"Brother Yao, although I debuted very early, you know Jordan Road has never been a lucrative place,"
"I can only come up with five million for this bus route!"
Frankly speaking, five million is not much, and it could even be considered a bit low. After all, a bus costs hundreds of thousands, and with other expenses, the initial investment costs, and the cost of purchasing the route, five million wouldn't even make a ripple!
Especially since Fok Man-yiu wants to build a bus route that radiates throughout Hong Kong from Tsim Sha Tsui, then five million is even less of a consideration!
Of course, five million is still useful in the early stages of development!
Huo Wenyao immediately said,
"Five million it is!"
"Anyway, Jordan isn't a big area. We'll talk about it after you've made some money!"
Lin Huaiyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Huo Wenyao beckoned, and Tian Yangsi took a contract from his folder and handed it to Lin Huaile.
Huo Wenyao laughed,
"You can take the contract home and review it at your leisure, but it would be best to have a lawyer review it for you."
"If you have any questions, you can come to me anytime."
"If there are no problems, just send the contract to Yangsi after it's signed!"
Lin Huaiyue nodded heavily, his eyes filled with undisguised excitement!
Lin Huai Le couldn't help but say again,
"Brother Yao, I believe our collaboration will be a great success!"
"Furthermore, if I can become the head of Wo Luen Shing with Brother Yao's help, I can guarantee that Brother Yao can set up bus routes in all of Wo Luen Shing's territories!"
"That would be perfect!" Huo Wenyao replied with satisfaction.
Now that things had come to this point, Lin Huai Le was in no hurry to leave. He kept flattering and praising Huo Wen Yao and his henchmen, especially Tian Yang Sheng and Qiu Gang Ao.
That evening, Lin Huai Le had drunk so much he was practically under the table, still muttering things like, "Thank you, Brother Yao, for helping me make money. I promise I won't let you down..."
However, a hint of disdain flashed in Huo Wenyao's eyes.
Surely no one really thinks that Huo Wenyao is going to have a close collaboration with Lin Huaile and become partners, right?
In Huo Wenyao's eyes, this was only temporary.
As I've said before, supporting Ah Le is tantamount to raising a tiger to cause future trouble.
So when he has no more use for Huo Wenyao, that's when it's time for him to leave.
So the contract is naturally fine.
But what if the person who signed the contract passes away?
Isn't everything ultimately up to Huo Wenyao?
What's this called? This is called "the merchant has the final say on interpretation"!
Everything was under Huo Wenyao's control!
Lin Huai Le is intelligent and cunning.
For example, right now, his drunken act of hiding under the table is seen by Qiu Gang'ao and others as a sign of his naive and unpretentious nature.
Little did he know that Huo Wenyao could see right through the guy's act of being drunk!
To be honest, although Lam Wai-lok's acting skills are good, they are really no match for Huo Wen-yao, a film emperor!
It's a bit like wielding a big sword in front of Guan Yu (a legendary Chinese general).
However, to be fair, Lin Huai Le did say one thing that was true: this five million really was all the money he had left.
After being a branch manager at Wo Luen Shing for so many years and navigating the underworld for so long, he only managed to amass five million. That's truly pathetic!
Ah Le now only has one hope: that Huo Wenyao can lead him to make a fortune and make the business bigger and stronger!
Huo Wenyao knew very well that once he helped Lin Huaile become wealthy, he himself would be doomed.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lin Huai Le won't live to see that day!
However, unintentionally,
Someone saw the intoxicated Ah Lok being escorted back to Jordan by Fok Man-yiu's security guards.
The news quickly reached the ears of Big D, the most prominent leader of the Wo Luen Shing triad!
"What?!" Big D glared angrily at his underling and shouted.
"You mean Lin Huai Le and Huo Wen Yao went drinking?"
"Yes!" the younger brother hurriedly replied.
"The news isn't just spreading rumors. Quite a few people saw Lin Huai Le and Huo Wen Yao with their arms around each other at a nightclub on the mountain road, drinking until midnight!"
Upon hearing this, Big D's face darkened instantly. He knocked over the bottle in front of him and couldn't help but curse angrily.
"That damn Huo Wenyao, I haven't even had a chance to cause him any more trouble, and he actually went and asked Lin Huaile to use him against me!"
Immediately, Big D roared angrily, "This Huo Wenyao is an idiot too!"
"How could a piece of trash like Lin Huai Le possibly be my match?"
"Does he deserve it?!"
The younger brother was so frightened by Big D's crazy behavior that he dared not speak.
A henchman nearby couldn't help but chime in,
"Big D is right, Lin Huai Le is nothing,"
"Normally, Lin Huai Le doesn't dare to breathe loudly in front of Brother D. Would he dare to go against us?"
Hearing his underling say that, Big D's mood improved considerably, and he immediately said,
"Hmph! Anyway, I really don't take Lin Huai Le seriously!"
"Huo Wenyao is an idiot for hiring a good-for-nothing like Lin Huai Le to help him!"
Then he immediately emphasized arrogantly.
"That damned Huo, who else in the entire Wo Luen Shing company besides me could sit in this position of leader? Who else is worthy of it?"
"Don't think you're so great just because you managed to beat me this time by luck."
"Let me tell you the truth, once I'm in power, the first thing I'll do is kill you, Huo Wenyao!"
"Tsim Sha Tsui! It's mine!"
Big D was very confident and proud about this issue. He was certain that he would rise to the top of the Wo Luen Shing triad. When that time came and he was able to control the entire Wo Luen Shing triad, Huo Wenyao would be nothing but a piece of trash in his eyes!
The next day was another sunny day.
Huo Wenyao brought Tian Yangsi to the Transport and Housing Bureau early in the morning.
In fact, the administrative departments of the entire port are not complicated; to sum it up in one sentence:
Three Departments and Thirteen Bureaus!
The Transport and Housing Bureau is responsible for managing port transport routes.
Bus owner "134": You're a robber! Qiu Gang'ao: We're a security company!
Three Departments and Thirteen Bureaus!
The Transport and Housing Bureau is responsible for managing port transport routes.
The other three secretaries are the Administrative Secretary, the Financial Secretary, and the Justice Secretary, which are the highest-ranking departments.
Then there are the thirteen bureaus: the Civil Service Bureau, the Commerce and Economic Bureau, the Development Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Environment Bureau, the Security Bureau, and the Transport and Housing Bureau.
Unsurprisingly, the Secretary for Transport and Housing is another blond, blue-eyed foreigner.
These foreigners are all money-grubbing types, so they couldn't be more welcoming of someone like Huo Wenyao who came to their door with money.
