Li Xuan was not concerned about the internal affairs of the Wo Shing Yee. Since Boss Chen had provoked him, he had to give him a harsh lesson. And this lesson had to be unforgettable, serving as a warning to others.
If the Wo Shing Yee came to cause trouble today, and another triad did the same tomorrow, how could Oriental Electronics operate normally? The police station wasn't his family business; it was impossible for them to send people to guard the company every day. Even if they did, the triads had all sorts of despicable methods to make life miserable.
"Little brother, relying solely on the police to investigate won't solve the problem. This can indeed cause Boss Chen to lose a lot of benefits, but if you push too hard, it might provoke his underlings to unite against you, further solidifying his position!" Li Ke shook his head and said to his younger brother.
Li Xuan frowned deeply. He had already considered the issue of overdoing it, but apart from pressuring the Hong Kong Police Force, he couldn't think of any other way. After all, he couldn't directly buy lives with money; that would open Pandora's box.
"If you're not afraid to spend money, I have a way to give Boss Chen a heart-wrenching memory," Li Ke said with a sly smile.
"Tell me, what method?" Li Xuan looked at his older brother sideways.
"Everyone knows that Boss Chen's position is supported by Two Tigers and One Bull! The Bull is just a strong enforcer with a not-so-bright mind, serving as Boss Chen's bodyguard!"
Li Ke paused and continued, "His real right-hand men are the Two Tigers. Known as the Devil Tiger of Tsim Sha Tsui, Hua Yao is well-known throughout Yau Tsim Mong. He is more beautiful than many women and is said to have first risen to prominence by becoming a kept man for a boss's mistress, then gaining the boss's trust through pillow talk.
Later, this boss was caught with hidden drugs during a police raid and was quickly sent to Stanley Prison. It was rumored on the streets that the drugs in his pocket were secretly placed there by Hua Yao.
Later, this boss was mysteriously beaten to disability in Stanley, and all his power, territory, and women were taken over by Hua Yao. Hua Yao is a famous smiling tiger of the Wo Shing Yee, who, when he acts, is deadly and very difficult to deal with!
Boss Chen's lucrative nightclubs are mostly managed by Hua Yao. The other, known as the Tiger of Tuen Mun, Gao Fei, is the local tyrant of Tuen Mun. He rose to prominence three years ago, attracting a large number of thugs with his generous and righteous demeanor.
After gaining influence, Gao Fei, with his ruthless nature, swept away the presence of other triads in Tuen Mun, becoming the undisputed underground boss of Tuen Mun.
However, Tuen Mun is not a central area, so the profits are limited. Gao Fei has tried several times to expand into Yau Tsim Mong, but Hua Yao has always cleverly blocked him."
Li Xuan listened to his brother's long speech, feeling a sense of unreality. In the past, his brother had no such eloquence, but now, with more exposure to the world, he had finally become more strategic, with a few more twists in his mind.
"I'm not interested in the Two Tigers and One Bull. Just get to the point and tell me the method!" Li Xuan didn't have time to listen to these street stories.
"The Two Tigers under Boss Chen have long been at odds. Hua Yao has repeatedly opposed Gao Fei, but Boss Chen has ignored it, causing Gao Fei to have his doubts. If we can persuade Gao Fei to switch to another faction, it will undoubtedly cut off one of Boss Chen's arms!" Li Ke finally revealed his intention.
"But why would Gao Fei betray his boss for no reason? Unless there's a significant benefit!" Li Xuan interjected, knowing that betraying one's boss is not a good reputation.
"Of course, if he is willing to transfer to our He Qishui Tang, Jian Shu will definitely support his development in Tsim Sha Tsui or Causeway Bay. Of course, that's not enough. Gao Fei has many struggling brothers under him. When they switch factions with their leader, the new boss must give them a welcome gift. So if you, little brother, are willing to pay the transfer fee, this matter will be 80-90% successful!" Li Ke looked at his younger brother with a more eager expression.
A transfer fee, like a football club, Li Xuan found it a bit absurd.
"What's in it for you?" For Li Xuan, problems that could be solved with money were not problems. But he was not a fool with money to throw around; he wanted to hear the results of his investment.
"Hehe, you know I just became a Red Pole, and there are many dissenting voices in the triad. If I can personally bring three million in cash to see Gao Fei, say I admire his character and want to be brothers with him, and then smoothly bring him into the He Le Tang, who in the hall would dare to say I'm not worthy?" Li Ke said with a serious face.
Li Xuan nodded. His brother had finally learned to strategize. Gao Fei's reputation might be slightly less than that of Scarface, but it was not much different. If he could take this opportunity to become sworn brothers with Gao Fei, Li Ke's status would be on par with his former boss, and he would no longer be a junior in the He Le Tang.
Moreover, with such a powerful figure as an ally, Li Ke would truly establish a solid foundation within the He Le Tang. For the He Le Tang, if Gao Fei could transfer, they would not only gain a powerful general but also take over the Tuen Mun territory, weakening the Wo Shing Yee.
Recently, the He Le Tang has been rising rapidly thanks to the arcade and game hall business. With this shift in power, the He Le Tang could step on the Wo Shing Yee and become the third-largest triad in Kowloon and Hong Kong.
This plan would indeed greatly undermine Boss Chen's authority, and the best part is that it wouldn't draw too much hatred. When Gao Fei defects, who will Boss Chen hate the most? First, it will be Gao Fei, the traitor, and then the He Le Tang. Li Xuan, the one providing the money, and Li Ke, the one executing the plan, will be secondary.
When Boss Chen is struggling under the pressure of the He Le Tang, Li Xuan can find someone to mediate, and both sides can have a peace talk to resolve the issue. After all, business requires harmony!
"These transfer fees, I'll cover them. Is three million enough?" Li Xuan asked.
"Little brother, it's three million, not thirty thousand. This price is already much higher than the records of other triads, giving Gao Fei enough face! If he has any sense, he should be satisfied. After all, no one's money comes from the wind!" Li Ke said to his younger brother.
"Then act quickly and try to get it done within a week! In the meantime, I'll ensure that the Hong Kong Royal Police will cause trouble for Boss Chen every day, distracting him and making it easier for you to poach. When the time comes, both the police and the triads will pressure him to see if he can hold on!"
Li Xuan said with a cold smile. Because of this, he would have to spend an additional six to seven million. This money could have built several factories if used for investment.
