Chapter 425 My brother-in-law got stabbed?
Lou Bancheng sighed and then slowly recounted the events that had occurred in Beijing over the past year.
After listening to Lou Bancheng's account, Lou Bin quickly walked up to Wang Feng and bowed deeply to him.
"Wang Feng, thank you, thank you for saving my parents."
Seeing this, Wang Feng quickly helped Lou Bin up. This was his brother-in-law, and he couldn't let him perform such a grand ceremony.
Ultimately, no matter how much money Lou Bancheng earns in the future, it will all go to his two brothers-in-law, as they may need to cooperate in many areas in the future.
"Brother, don't be so polite. My son's parents are my parents too. We're all family. Of course, I can't stand by and do nothing when my parents are suffering."
Lou Bin nodded. He was very satisfied with his brother-in-law. Not only was he handsome, but from his father's words and the way his brother-in-law spoke and dressed, he could tell that his brother-in-law was definitely not a simple person.
It's simple, can't he rescue his parents from the farm? The farm is guarded by armed forces, you know. And he can even send his parents to Hong Kong Island. With that kind of power, how could it be simple? Anyway, his father, who is known as Lou Bancheng, definitely doesn't have that kind of power.
Lou Bin poured everyone a cup of tea. Seeing that they had all finished speaking, Tan Yali asked, "Bin'er, where's your younger brother, Lou Yu? I haven't seen him."
Upon hearing this, Lou Bin sighed and said, "Dad, Mom, after Lou Yu and I came to Hong Kong Island, we did some market research and then opened a restaurant in Wan Chai."
"After we arrived here, we found out that doing business here requires paying protection money. Our shop is located on East Street, which is within the territory of the Black Wolf Gang. For the first few months, things were fine; we only had to pay HK$10,000 in protection money each month."
"But ever since Black Wolf, the leader of the Black Wolf Gang, was assassinated a month ago, the Black Wolf Gang has had a new leader, Wild Dog. After that, our protection fee increased from 10,000 to 20,000. But our restaurant's monthly income is only 30,000. This means 20,000 is gone. After deducting other expenses such as rent, it's like we've been working for nothing."
"We've talked to the Black Wolf Gang several times, trying to get them to lower their fees, but they not only refused, they also demanded 80% of our profits. Of course, we didn't agree. After that, the Black Wolf Gang members started causing trouble at our restaurant every few days. Just now, when the Black Wolf Gang members caused trouble at the restaurant, Lou Yu went to deal with the problem."
"Um?"
Upon hearing Lou Bin's words, Lou Bancheng rebuked him, "Lou Bin, what kind of older brother are you? You just let your younger brother do this all by himself?"
Lou Bin looked distressed, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Just say what you have to say. Stop being so long-winded. What kind of behavior is this?" Lou Bancheng shouted angrily.
Tan Yali tugged at Lou Bancheng's sleeve and whispered a reproach: "Old Lou, don't speak so rashly. Let's hear what Bin'er has to say first."
Lou Bancheng remained silent, his expression one of quiet authority, staring intently at Lou Bin, awaiting his explanation.
Lou Bin sighed, knowing he couldn't hide it any longer. He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the wound on his back. It was an old wound, inflicted by a dagger, and although it had been treated, it still looked shocking.
"what!"
"Bin'er, you...you're injured?" Tan Yali's voice trembled, and tears streamed down her face.
Lou Bancheng's face was gloomy, and the killing intent in his eyes was bursting out wildly. He could tell at a glance that the wound was caused by a dagger, which had almost pierced his kidney.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Lou Bin gave a bitter smile: "Ever since the Black Wolf Gang changed its leader, we have refused to pay protection money. The Black Wolf Gang knows that we have no background or backing, so they cause trouble every few days. We have been trying to find a solution. Last week, I was stabbed by a homeless man on the street for no reason. I have been recuperating at home for a week. Today, the Black Wolf Gang caused trouble at the restaurant again. Lou Yu was worried that my wound would reopen, so he didn't let me go."
"Chairman Lou, this must be because the Black Wolf Gang got impatient. Seeing that the young master and the others wouldn't compromise, they decided to teach them a lesson." Lou San said in a deep voice, his eyes full of fierceness.
"That's right, this kind of thing used to happen frequently in Beijing. I'm sure this homeless man was sent by the Black Wolf Gang," Lou Er said.
Lou Yi's face darkened: "Chairman Lou, we've brought so many tough guys with us, why don't we just storm into this Black Wolf Gang and take down their Wild Dog boss?"
Lou Bancheng waved his hand: "Let's discuss this matter carefully, find out the situation of the Black Wolf Gang before making any decisions. If we act rashly, you may very well be defeated by them."
Wang Feng had also heard the whole story. He was very satisfied with Lou Bancheng's composure. If he acted impulsively, he would definitely not survive more than three days in Hong Kong, a place full of gangsters.
"Dad, there's no rush. Let's investigate the situation of the Black Wolf Gang first. I suggest you recruit more people who are willing to fight and grow stronger slowly. You have money and powerful weapons, so it won't be difficult for you to gain a foothold in Hong Kong."
Lou Bancheng nodded: "Wang Feng is right. We can't act rashly on this matter. Let's wait for Lou Yu to come back before making any plans."
After thinking it over, Wang Feng decided to give the remaining 350 million from HSBC to Lou Bancheng.
"Dad, I still have HK$3.5 million in HSBC. You can keep this money. Whatever business you do in the future, just give me a 20% share. After I leave, the first thing you should do is strengthen security and spend more money to build relationships. As long as you have the right connections, you won't have to worry about not making money."
Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Bin and asked, "What's the exchange rate between gold and Hong Kong dollars here?"
"Dad, when I came here last year, one gram of gold was worth 5.5 Hong Kong dollars. It should have gone up a little now, but it shouldn't exceed 6 Hong Kong dollars."
Upon hearing this, Lou Bancheng sighed. The gold he brought from Beijing was only a little over 1,200 jin, which was less than four million Hong Kong dollars.
His nickname, Lou Bancheng, is really a bit unrealistic.
If he hadn't invested so much in the steel rolling mill and lost everything, he wouldn't be penniless now.
"Wang Feng, your 3.5 million is too little for just 20% of the shares. How about this, I'll give you 40% of the shares."
Wang Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Dad, I don't need this little bit of money. Just take 20%. As long as you're doing well here and don't make our son worry, I'll be very happy."
