"What brings you here, Commander Ye?"
The Dragon Ancestor smiled and handed over a cigarette, saying casually.
However, Ye Xingguo did not speak immediately.
Instead, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette. The other person used very traditional matches, and the pungent smell of 15-yuan matches made Long Zu frown.
However, nothing was said, since some people dislike the smell of matches and others dislike the smell of gas.
So, naturally, the Dragon Ancestor took out his lighter and slowly lit a cigarette.
"Mr. Long, I don't really like the smell of gas!" Ye Xingguo frowned and said indifferently.
The Dragon Ancestor looked up dismissively and said, "I don't like the smell of matches either!"
Suddenly.
Ye Xingguo's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Mr. Long is truly a witty person!"
"Mr. Long, I'd like to know what your opinion of us is?" Ye Xingguo said with a smile, very kindly.
He seemed completely unconcerned about the little incident that had just occurred.
"Of course it's good. We are compatriots, how could I have any opinion about my own people?" Dragon Ancestor said with a faint smile, his eyes showing no emotion.
Looking at the Dragon Ancestor's expression, Ye Xingguo sighed inwardly.
But he continued, "Then I would like to invite Mr. Long to invest in the mainland. The mainland is in dire need of development, and I believe it will have a very promising future."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Ancestor shook his head slightly.
He knew it better than anyone else.
As the ancestor of the human dragons from later generations, he knew that the rabbits were still too poor and were looking everywhere for wealthy people to invest in them.
His own Longmen Group, together with Longteng Group, is worth tens of billions of US dollars.
Naturally, they would be targeted by the other side, after all, they are compatriots.
We can't just say we won't help, can we?
but……
Long Zu understood that this was no longer simply a matter of whether or not to invest.
First of all, Ye Xingguo, during his long time in Hong Kong, was he misled or bribed by those foreigners?
What if the Dragon Ancestor didn't know?
Wouldn't that put him in danger?
The Dragon Ancestor's family business in Hong Kong is indeed large and his power is unmatched, but it is still the world dominated by those foreigners.
Dragon Ancestor understood that sometimes a person's ability is limited. Those foreigners were not ordinary people. When it really came down to it, they were more ruthless, more cruel, and more powerful than anyone else.
The Dragon Ancestor was fully aware of these things.
And what time period is 1982?
The Dragon Ancestor understood this even more deeply.
In 730, Hong Kong's environment underwent tremendous changes. While there were no major changes in architecture or the economy, the impact on public security and social stability was absolutely enormous.
At such a crucial moment, the Dragon Ancestor certainly didn't want to be targeted by those foreigners, or even to be resented by them.
It's important to understand that the era of Po Ho and the Four Great Detectives was already chaotic enough.
However, as is well known, Hong Kong became even more chaotic after 1982.
And those foreigners will not do anything.
Their indifferent attitude will lead to increasing chaos in these organizations.
The Dragon Ancestor was powerful and formidable, but he didn't want to be the target of thousands of people.
And as a businessman, why would he do something that brings only harm and no benefit?
He wasn't afraid even though a cop was watching him!
He wasn't afraid even if a gangster targeted him!
Chapter 343 What kind of business should I do?
But what about a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand people?
As a businessman and the owner of Longmen, Longzu wouldn't be foolish enough to put himself in danger.
After pondering for a moment.
Long Zu calmly replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I don't have that idea at the moment."
Although it was just a polite refusal.
But Ye Xingguo understood what the Dragon Ancestor meant.
He couldn't help but smile helplessly and shake his head.
It's not just Lung Zu who's like this; it's that even Hong Kong's top tycoons don't dare to step forward and invest voluntarily.
After all, their roots are in Hong Kong. If they do these things, they will not only be doing a thankless job, but they may also bring disaster upon themselves.
Moreover, the other party is a businessman; how could they possibly do such a risky deal that is likely to result in a loss?
Ye Xingguo was also somewhat helpless. He had only come to ask, and he knew before he came that the probability of success was not high.
"Alright, Mr. Long, I apologize for disturbing you today. We can discuss this again when we have the chance." Ye Xingguo smiled and clasped his hands in a slight gesture before turning and leaving.
The Dragon Ancestor did not get up, but simply nodded slightly and said calmly, "Please see Mr. Ye off for me."
Then, two henchmen at the door respectfully led Ye Xingguo away.
……
Gang Sheng frowned as he watched Ye Xingguo leave.
I had some questions I wanted to ask.
But before the Hong Kong student could speak...
Long Zu then placed his outstretched finger on Gang Sheng's lips.
"Shh...don't speak, come back with me first," the Dragon Ancestor said with a serious expression.
Only after returning to Longzu's office did he glance at Gangsheng indifferently.
He raised an eyebrow.
The implication is that the Hong Kong student should have the final say.
Hong Sheng asked with a puzzled look, "Brother Zu was clearly willing to cooperate, so why didn't you explain it to him clearly?"
Long Zu slowly shook his head and said calmly, "Sometimes the situation isn't that simple. What you see might just be what those foreigners want us to see. Who knows if Ye Xingguo is already corrupt? Do you know if he's been bribed by the foreigners? Nobody knows!"
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" the Dragon Ancestor said very seriously.
After hearing this, Hong Sheng said incredulously, "Brother Zu, aren't you being too cautious? Our Dragon Gate is so powerful. Besides the Dragon Gate, we also have Dragon Soar and so many other forces, including Tian Yangsheng's side. We have manpower if we need manpower, and we have weapons if we need weapons. Who dares to provoke us? As long as we don't make any fundamental mistakes, we are the king in Hong Kong!"
After speaking, Gang Sheng's face was filled with exceptional confidence.
Hear this.
The Dragon Ancestor's face immediately darkened.
He gave Gang Sheng a cold glance, watching his man look at him like that.
Hong Kong student immediately lowered his head in fear.
Normally, she could joke around with the Dragon Ancestor.
But now it seems things are getting serious.
Suddenly...
The Hong Kong student remained silent, not daring to utter a single word.
"..." I said, some things aren't as simple as they seem on the surface. You have to understand, while we at Dragon Gate appear to be doing all legitimate business, what kind of business is Tony involved in? What kind of business is Tianyangsheng involved in? What kind of business is involved in Hong Kong? And are the businesses we at Dragon Gate are doing necessarily legitimate? KTVs and bars—even if we don't deal in drugs, to put it bluntly, we're still operating in the gray area," Dragon Ancestor said very seriously.
Chapter 344 Brother Zu, isn't that a bit too much?
Then, with a hint of worry in his eyes, he sighed and said:
"If Ye Xingguo really is a henchman of the foreigners, then we would all probably die if we did that," Long Zu said with utmost seriousness.
"Brother Zu is exaggerating. Longmen has more than 70,000 employees, more than 20,000 of whom are our gang's henchmen. There are also 10,000 from Longteng Group. We're not afraid of anything, even if we go to war with the foreigners. If a riot really breaks out, they'll have a headache." Gang Sheng said in shock.
Moreover, in the past year or two, Lungmen has become increasingly stronger under Tom Judy's guidance.
It has even become the lifeblood of Hong Kong.
Just like the status of the Samsung Group in South Korea.
If the Dragon 747 Gate is removed, it won't be as simple as just unrest in Hong Kong.
It could impact Hong Kong's GDP growth, or even its overall economic development.
"Hmph, let alone twenty or thirty thousand people, even if it were twenty or thirty thousand, so what? I think I know those foreigners' temper better than you do. They are just naked bandits, only wearing expensive clothes. Do they care about our feelings? Do they care how many people die? They only care about how much money they will have in their hands in the end. Do you understand?" Long Zu said to Gang Sheng calmly, word by word.
