As soon as Lu Tianchuan spoke, several burly men standing behind him also stared at Li Jin with unkind expressions, ready to take action if they disagreed.
At this time, Xiang Huasheng and Liang Liuye looked at each other and fell silent.
Is 50 million too much?
That's a lot.
Don't look at Li Jin's investments, especially his financial hedging during this period, and his rivalry with American Wall Street capital. He often has tens of billions or hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in funds, but that money is the blood and blood of the entire domestic financial community.
It is only 2001, and even in Hong Kong City, 50 million Hong Kong dollars in cash is already wealth that 99.99% of people will never have in their lifetime.
And these societies need this money even more.
Don't look at these community bosses who appear to be powerful and arrogant, but in fact they are poorer than the last.
After all, there are so many people under his command to support, and every one of his subordinates needs money.
There are only so many industries in the society. Nowadays, no one dares to touch those black channels that can make money quickly. They can only launder their wealth and become white-handed industries.
But apart from Xiang Watson's Ngee Ann Club, which is doing well in the entertainment industry, other companies such as Fourteenth Club and Hop Shing Club are not having a good time.
It’s not that they can’t make money, it’s that each of them has tens of thousands of subordinates to support, and no matter how profitable a company is, they can’t support their large expenses.
So when Li Jin offered 50 million Hong Kong dollars, they were all tempted.
But what Li Jin said was too unpleasant. For the three people talking about it, taking the money is not a big problem, but what will happen to their own prestige if word spreads about it? What do the younger brothers below think of themselves?
So even though Lu Tianchuan was shouting loudly at this time, it was just a facade. This could be seen from the fact that he kept glancing at the check.
Li Jin saw all this.
He knew very well that Lu Tianchuan would be able to come down if he provided a step at this time, and then everyone would happily collect money and do things.
But Li Jin really doesn't have the time to make ink with these people now.
The most important thing is that Li Jin must finish the matter in one go.
It left an indelible impression on the hearts of these people.
That is, don't step on his red line. Whoever steps on it will die. There is no second possibility.
"Mr. Lu is so excited. Does this kidnapping case have something to do with you?"
Li Jin's faint words made Lu Tianchuan feel numb all over.
He really just wanted to take away the 50 million in a more attractive way and then go about his business honestly. Not to mention that he did it, he had never even considered the idea of really going against Li Jin.
As Li Jin said before, the members of the society who were in the gangs and lakes, those stupid young people have been shot long ago, and some of them have also escaped. He who is left as the talker is all timid and afraid.
Dead and wise man.
How could he not understand that in this era, the real boss is the one with money?
He looks majestic as a bad guy who goes around in the world and kills people, but he is just pretending to be cool in front of ordinary people. When he meets a rich businessman of the wealthy family level, he really doesn't have the confidence to challenge others.
What's more, Li Jin is a wealthy businessman from the mainland, and behind him is not only the Huo family, but also the mainland.
How dare he have the guts to commit such a kidnapping?
"Don't slander me, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
The contrast between Lu Tianchuan's panicked explanation and his indignant look before was so great that it was a bit unbearable.
"You didn't do it. Why are you blaming me?"
Li Jin's eyes turned cold, "It's too comfortable for the Fourteenth Society to transform into a white business? Playing with capital, playing business, how much money do you gang of gangsters have?"
"You yell at me here, and I will make you bankrupt and become a real beggar on the streets within a week. Do you believe it?"
"Or do you think you have so many younger brothers that I dare not do anything to you?"
