Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 616 Bodyguard

The three of them had a very enjoyable chat. Before leaving, Lei Luo patted He Lai on the shoulder and asked him to behave himself and to hire a few bodyguards for protection if possible.

He Lai naturally agreed. He had thought about the bodyguard issue a long time ago, but he had not put it into practice yet. After all, he was not staying in Hong Kong City for long.

After seeing the two people off, He Lai was invited over by Lou Bancheng again.

When I entered the box, I found Zhuang Shijiu was also there.

"Good boy, you made such a big noise as soon as you arrived, you are really not afraid of death!"

Zhuang Shijiu said with a smile.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, Uncle Jiu, you're fine, there's no need to worry about death." He Lai joked with a smile.

"Xiao Laizi, you'd better be careful. If you don't have anyone around you, I can lend you some first." Lou Bancheng also advised.

"No, no. Don't worry, Uncle Lou, I'm very strong."

He Lai flexed his muscles and said.

"Oh, sure. With your physique, do you want to be Uncle Jiu's bodyguard?"

Zhuang Shijiu joked.

"Okay, one hundred million a month, daily settlement, no arrears!"

"Screw you!"

"Uncle Lou, Uncle Jiu, to be honest, I really want to get some bodyguards and start a security company. Do you want to invest in it?"

He Lai suggested.

"What, a security company? How many people do you want to hire, you little brat?"

Lou Bancheng cursed with a smile.

"As for people, just recruit them slowly. Recruit the best ones, such as sharpshooters and martial arts masters. Special forces and mercenaries are even better. They can protect the upper-class people in Hong Kong and make a lot of money from them! Hehe!"

He Lai fantasized.

"Mercenaries? These people you mentioned don't want money. You're still trying to make money from them. Do you know how much those mercenaries charge for each attack?"

Zhuang Shijiu was speechless.

"Ah, I don't know. Aren't there any cheaper ones, such as those coming from China? Aren't there many soldiers in China who can't make it, so they run to Hong Kong City?"

He Lai said awkwardly.

"There are some, but I don't know who they are. Those people are very low-key. I guess there are quite a few in our factory."

Lou Bancheng said. Many people want to live peacefully, and don't want to fight and kill. Those who don't want to live peacefully will not be willing to be bodyguards. In the hodgepodge of Hong Kong City, if you have a big fist and are ruthless enough, you will still have a place.

"Uh..." He Lai was suddenly speechless.

But think about it, this is not the Cultural Revolution period, and not many conflicts have erupted in the mainland. In a few years, a large number of soldiers will probably not be able to continue their service.

During the Vietnam War, there must have been a large number of soldiers who could not survive and fled to Hong Kong. At that time, there were not many people who were not afraid of death.

Isn’t Long Wu, who is beside the gambling king Gao Jin, a former special forces soldier in the Vietnam War, and he seems to be an overseas Chinese.

If there were a few special forces around him, his sense of security would be maximized. Although He Lai does not need bodyguards with his current physical condition, who can resist such a cool scene? Besides, when Yu Shui and the others come over in the future, they will only need these bodyguards.

He Lai was thinking about security issues when Lou Xiao'e walked in.

"Oh, it's really you, Xiao Laizi! Why haven't you come for so long? Where's Yu Shui? Why isn't she here? Is she at the villa? Then I'll go play with her tomorrow."

When Lou Xiao'e saw He Lai, she asked a series of questions.

"Well, if you want to play with her, you probably have to go to Sijiu City." He Lai said with a smile.

"What? Why are you like this? You came to Hong Kong City to enjoy yourself by yourself, and you didn't even bring your wife with you!"

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she immediately put on a contemptuous expression and looked at He Lai with disdain.

"Uh...Yushui is pregnant. She just gave birth and has no time to come to Hong Kong City."

He Lai had no choice but to explain.

"What? Yu Shui gave birth to a baby! You..." Lou Xiao'e stopped talking halfway and immediately shut her mouth.

I forgot that Yu Shui had already married He Lai, and it seemed inappropriate to say this.

"Yes, she gave birth to a daughter, she's very cute. How about you, Sister Xiao'e, are you married?"

He Lai asked curiously.

"What the hell is this? She's so picky. She doesn't like this or that. I don't know what kind of person she likes. She's almost an old maid." Lou Bancheng was furious whenever he mentioned Lou Xiao'e's marriage.

He Lai also smiled but didn't say anything. Lou Xiao'e seemed to be two years older than him. She was not young anymore and was now considered an older leftover woman.

When Lou Xiao'e saw that the situation was not right, she ran away.

"This little girl is so troublesome." Lou Bancheng sighed.

"Old Lou, let her be. What's so good about getting married? Look, my Xiaoya is married, but I seldom see her now. So, children have their own blessings, so just let everything take its course." Zhuang Shijiu said with emotion.

"Haha, Uncle Lou, it seems that you should train your grandson more, otherwise no one will stand on the same front with you."

He Lai joked.

"You two really have no problem talking without any pain in your waist." Lou Bancheng rolled his eyes at the two of them.

After all, now he has to face Lou Tan's sighs every day when he returns home, and she would directly say things like her daughter has a miserable life.

"I'm still young and I don't have a waist!"

"My waist is fine! It doesn't hurt!"

"You two have no shame, do you?"

"What's the face?"

"What do you want it for?"

……

After returning to his residence, He Lai called Lu Zixuan again and asked him to prepare a few more warehouses as he still had a large amount of supplies to store in his own space.

That afternoon, HSBC learned that the meat that was about to reach their mouths had been snatched away by He Lai, and they were very angry.

I called the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong City directly.

The Financial Secretary of Hong Kong at that time was Cowperthwaite.

Guo Bowei, judging from his name, I would think he is Chinese.

But in fact, his ancestral home is Scotland and he was born in Edinburgh. It seems that he just gave himself a Chinese name.

The so-called "positive non-intervention" was proposed by this person. He proposed that the economic development of Hong Kong City should advocate a "laissez-faire" economic policy. Many people believe that he is the legendary creator of Hong Kong City's free market economic system.

However, some people believe that there is actually a difference in what they call "active non-intervention". When the situation is in their favor, it is truly "active non-intervention"; but when "active non-intervention" is not in their favor, then "active intervention" is necessary.

However, no one knows what kind of person Guo Bowei is like in real life. The author knows that there was no one in that era who was not greedy. The so-called free development actually means that if you give me money, I will pretend to know nothing and do whatever you want.

Therefore, the content of the conversation between Guo Bowei and HSBC was also very clear. It was up to Hang Seng Bank to decide on its own and he would not interfere.

After all, on the table in front of him was the one million Hong Kong dollars given by Lei Luo.

When HSBC heard what Guo Bowei said, it instantly fell into despair and realized that it was impossible to plan for Hang Seng Bank again.

Moreover, He Lai's Lai Xin Industry is also a major client of HSBC Bank, and now there are hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in their own bank.

He Lai's network of relationships is also very complicated. He has Lei Luo to protect him on the white side, and he has the gangster boss Bo Hao on the underworld side. In addition, He Lai has also allied with the Fu family in Las Vegas and the Huo family in Hong Kong, who are all well-known and large families. It seems that he will be a very tough nut to crack.

HSBC finally decided to give up on trying to deal with He Lai. After all, He Lai's businesses now span the globe, and if they fail to handle the situation properly, they will end up losing both the wife and the army.
