"Mr. Lin, I will get on to these three things right away."
As they spoke, Huang Dawen took out a deposit slip from his pocket and placed it in front of Lin Haowen. "There's no problem with the check from last night. As you instructed, I've transferred all the money to your name."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Lin Haowen casually put the 20 million yuan deposit slip into his pocket, then placed the menu next to him in front of Huang Dawen, "Order whatever you like."
"Mr. Lin, I'll definitely treat you to a good meal next time. I'll let it go today, but I have to live up to the payment you made and do the job you assigned me well."
After saying this, Huang Dawen seemed afraid that Lin Haowen would misunderstand, so he added, "Mr. Lin, you are so generous. I hope I can work harder in the future."
"Just don't sue me for exploiting my employees."
Lin Haowen laughed heartily.
"As long as I can smell Elizabeth's scent all the time, I'll do anything to drain myself dry."
Huang Dawen replied with a smile.
"Attorney Huang, you said you found it disgusting before, how come you're actually liking the foreign queen now?"
Hearing Lin Haowen's teasing remark, Huang Dawen's smile vanished, and he said seriously, "Mr. Lin, let me correct you on one point: only Elizabeth printed on banknotes smells good..."
"Hahaha~"
At this point, Huang Dawen couldn't help but burst into laughter. Half a minute later, he managed to suppress his laughter, bid farewell to Lin Haowen, and left.
After Huang Dawen left, Lin Haowen waved to the waiter and ordered a few dishes to go. Then he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Jianjun, it's me! Where are you?"
After the call connected, Lin Haowen asked.
"We're picking up two comrades-in-arms who are arriving in Hong Kong Island today."
Wang Jianjun's voice came through the receiver.
"Perfect timing. I ordered a few dishes from Cuixianglou Restaurant as a welcome dinner for your comrade. We'll meet at the hotel later."
After saying this with a smile, Lin Haowen hung up the phone. After thinking for a moment, he first went to The One shopping mall across the street and bought a few gold Rolexes before returning to Cuixianglou with the packed food and leaving.
A dozen minutes later, inside a hotel.
"Brother Wen, this is the professor, he's the machine gunner in our reconnaissance squad, and this is Little Bird, he's the demolition expert."
This is our boss, Brother Wen.
Wang Jianguo introduced two burly men to Lin Haowen. Just by looking at their aura, you could tell that these two were definitely ruthless.
"Brother Wen!"
"Brother Wen!"
After Wang Jianguo finished speaking, the professor and the little bird nodded slightly to Lin Haowen in greeting.
"Professor, little bird, nice to meet you. This is my gift as your boss."
Lin Haowen took out two boxes containing gold Rolexes from his pocket, opened them, and placed them in front of the professor and the little bird.
"Brother Wen, I cannot accept a reward without merit."
The professor glanced at the gleaming gold Rolex, then forcibly looked away and shook his head at Lin Haowen.
On the contrary, the little bird next to the professor kept staring straight at the gold watch, refusing to look away even for a second.
"You've come at the right time; I need your help with something right away."
Lin Haowen took out a gold Rolex, grabbed the professor's left hand, and personally put the gold Rolex on the professor's wrist.
The professor instinctively tried to shake off Lin Haowen's hand, but found that he couldn't. Lin Haowen's hand was like an iron clamp, firmly controlling his hand.
In that instant, the professor realized that his boss was definitely a master.
"Thank you, Brother Wen."
After giving Lin Haowen a deep look, the professor smiled.
Nowhere is there more respect for the strong than in the military. The professor originally just wanted to make some money under Lin Haowen, but now he truly respected Lin Haowen more.
Afterwards, Lin Haowen helped Xiao Niao, Wang Jianjun, Wang Jianguo, Yingzi and others put on gold Rolexes.
"In Hong Kong Island, wearing a gold Rolex is a symbol of status, especially for those who are out in the business. If you don't have a gold Rolex, you're considered low-class."
Lin Haowen looked at the gold Rolexes on the hands of the people in front of him and laughed heartily.
"Brother Wen, so are we in the mainstream now?"
Wang Jianguo held the gold Rolex in his hand, admiring it greatly, especially after learning that it was worth HK$30,000. He wanted to hold it in his palm even more.
"You are all top-notch talents. Rolexes are not good enough for you. In the future, I will let you drive Jaeger-LeCoultre and Vacheron Constantin."
Lin Haowen looked serious.
"What brands like Tracy and Denton are more expensive than a $30,000 Rolex?"
Wang Jianguo was shocked. 30,000 Hong Kong dollars could build two houses in their hometown, and there was even a watch that was more expensive than that. Damn capitalist society, how could they be so extravagant!
Lin Haowen laughed and said, "You'll get used to it after you've seen more of the world. Let's eat first, the food's getting cold."
soon.
"Jianjun, take the professor and Xiaoniao to buy some suitable clothes and get some handy gear."
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Haowen took out a stack of Hong Kong dollars, placed it in front of Wang Jianjun, and gave him instructions.
"clear!"
Wang Jianjun nodded slowly.
"Shadow, come with me."
Lin Haowen continued.
Half an hour later, on Canton Road, inside Lao Liu's convenience store.
"Boss, what big deal has made you come all this way personally?"
The sixth brother was even more enthusiastic when he saw Lin Haowen than when he saw his own father.
"I need to buy a batch of weapons, but I can't let the police find any clues. Do you have any good recommendations?"
Lin Haowen asked with a smile.
Liu Yaozu was wealthy and powerful, and all his men were armed with firearms. Just in case, and out of respect for the 300 million bond, Lin Haowen made extra preparations.
"Yes, of course, but..."
A sly smile appeared on Lao Liu's face. Lin Haowen immediately pulled out a wad of Hong Kong dollars. "This 20,000 is a deposit. If the transaction goes smoothly, I'll give you another 30,000."
"The boss is so generous!"
Old Liu grabbed HK$20,000 and stuffed it into his pocket, praising Lin Haowen with a smile before continuing, "There's this guy called Tiger Boy, he hasn't been in Hong Kong Island for long, he's not registered with the police yet, he's absolutely safe."
"Then I'll trouble you. Tell him that as long as the goods are good, money is not a problem."
As he spoke, Lin Haowen took out several stacks of banknotes and placed them in front of Lao Liu, saying, "Consider this 200,000 as my sincere offer."
"Boss, I'll contact Tiger Boy right away."
The sixth brother's eyes lit up as he looked at the stacks of banknotes in front of him. He grabbed the Hong Kong dollars and immediately turned and walked towards the back room.
A dozen minutes later.
"Boss, Tiger Boy has agreed to meet at midnight tonight on the fifth floor of Chungking Mansions."
The sixth brother returned to Lin Haowen's side and said with a smile.
"Thanks a lot."
Lin Haowen nodded slightly to Lao Liu, then left the convenience store with his shadow.
"Shadow, remember this shop. After the arms deal tonight, I'll trouble you to make a trip there and help the people in this shop die naturally."
After getting into the car, Lin Haowen said calmly.
His deal with Lao Liu wasn't set up with a firewall, so the police could potentially find him through Lao Liu.
Not to mention, the Tianjin dialect that Lao Liu inadvertently uttered confirmed to Lin Haowen that this Lao Liu was the same Lao Liu from "Mongkok Nights," a man who would even cheat his own fellow townsman to save on commissions, and who might sell him out one day.
Only the dead can keep secrets.
Asking Lao Liu to help find arms dealers was just to squeeze the last bit of value out of him.
"Um."
Shadow turned his head and glanced at Lao Liu's convenience store, then slowly nodded.
