Reborn in Hong Kong Island, I can see loyalty

Chapter 632 Prevention is better than cure, building a solid defense

Daisy and Marry spent the whole morning filtering and finally selected three excellent projects:

Restaurant chain franchising, logistics park construction, and expansion of local fresh food supermarkets.

“These three projects have manageable risks, stable returns, and can complement our existing industries,” Marry summarized. “The catering and fresh food supermarkets target end consumers, while the logistics park can support freight and warehousing, forming a closed-loop industrial chain.”

Daisy added, "I will liaise with Zhanbo to have him help calculate funding needs and rate of return on investment, and develop a detailed investment plan. In addition, I will contact a lawyer to review the contract to ensure the safety of the investment."

In the afternoon, Jimmy and Fang Zhanbo arrived at the seaside villa to meet with Mary and Daisy and report on the progress of industrial compliance.

"Currently, most industries have submitted rectification applications, and fire safety upgrades and qualification renewals are proceeding in an orderly manner. It is expected that all of them will be completed within a month," Jimmy said.

Fang Zhanbo handed over a financial statement: "Although there is an initial investment in compliance transformation, in the long run, it can save a lot of hidden costs. Moreover, paying taxes in accordance with the law can enhance the company's image and attract more high-quality cooperation. Our preliminary calculations show that after compliance is completed, the net profit of each industry can increase by about 15 percent."

Marry and Daisy also shared the investment projects they had selected, and the four of them sat together to discuss investment plans.

“The logistics park project can collaborate with the port freight company, allowing our freight vehicles to have priority access to the logistics park’s warehousing and loading/unloading facilities, thus reducing transportation costs,” Jimmy said.

Fang Zhanbo nodded: "I agree. In addition, the fresh food supermarket can cooperate with our restaurant chain to purchase ingredients in a unified manner and reduce supply chain costs. In this way, the projects can support each other and form a virtuous cycle."

When Ye Haoxuan entered the study, this was the scene he saw – the four of them were each doing their own thing, having a lively discussion, their faces full of enthusiasm.

“It seems you have all gained something.” He smiled and stepped forward. “Compliance is the foundation, investment is the enhancement, and only by combining the two can Hung Hing’s assets continue to appreciate.”

“Mr. Ye, we have developed a detailed plan. The compliance transformation will be completed within a month, and the investment project will be launched after the compliance is completed.” Marry handed over the plan.

Ye Haoxuan took the proposal and quickly glanced at it:

“Well done. Compliance must be thorough, leaving no loose ends; investments must be made cautiously to ensure the safety of funds. In addition, we must focus on long-term development and not pursue short-term gains. Only by making the industry stable and solid can it be passed down from generation to generation.”

He paused, then added, "Jimmy and Zhanbo, continue to push forward with the compliance reform. If there are any resources that need to be coordinated, just ask. Marry and Daisy, make sure to conduct thorough risk assessments for investment projects and conduct on-site inspections to ensure that every investment yields a return."

"Understood!" the four replied in unison.

As the sun set, its afterglow streamed through the window into the study, illuminating the documents on the desk and the resolute faces of the four people.

Hung Hing's business empire is undergoing a transformation from "gray" to "formal." Compliance reforms are laying a solid foundation, while high-quality investment projects are expanding its scope. A steady path of business development is slowly unfolding beneath their feet.

Ye Haoxuan stood by the window, gazing at the distant seaside villas and the golf course under construction, his heart filled with anticipation.

He knew that business success was not achieved overnight and required patience and perseverance, but as long as he continued to move in the right direction, Hung Hing's assets would continue to appreciate, providing the most solid guarantee for the stable life of his family and brothers.

This integration of business resources will be a key step for Hung Hing from a triad to a legitimate business group, making Hung Hing's foundation on Hong Kong Island even more solid.

At the construction site of the Binhai Golf Course, as the morning light dispelled the thin mist, Wang Jianjun led a team of Hongxing core members, carrying fire extinguishers and fire hoses, and quickly walked to the open space in the center of the construction area.

The workers were busy laying turf and building the clubhouse frame. When they saw them coming, they all stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

"All construction is suspended today for a fire drill!" Wang Jianjun's voice boomed, cutting through the roar of machinery on the construction site. "The golf course is large, with lots of vegetation and a wooden clubhouse. The consequences would be unimaginable if a fire broke out."

Today, we will not only teach everyone how to use fire-fighting equipment, but also practice emergency evacuation and initial fire suppression. Everyone must learn and practice diligently!

His key personnel immediately sprang into action, neatly arranging fire extinguishers and fire hoses on the open ground, and then setting fire to a pile of discarded wooden planks and dry grass in a safe area to simulate an initial fire scene.

"Everyone, watch carefully. Before using the fire extinguisher, check if the pressure is normal, then pull out the safety pin, hold the nozzle with one hand and press the handle with the other, and spray at the base of the flames!"

Wang Jianjun personally demonstrated, his movements were standard and crisp.

The white powder sprayed out and extinguished the flames instantly.

The workers watched intently and lined up to try it out.

Some workers, using it for the first time, were flustered and unable to pull out the safety pin. Wang Jianjun patiently provided guidance:

"Don't panic. Pinch the safety pin with your thumb and forefinger and pull it out forcefully. Don't spray it at people!"

Just as everyone was practicing using fire extinguishers, thick smoke suddenly billowed from the frame of the clubhouse on the west side of the construction site—this was the second part of the drill, simulating a real fire scenario.

"Oh no! The clubhouse is on fire!" someone shouted, and a sharp alarm instantly blared across the construction site.

Wang Jianjun immediately ordered: "Each group shall act according to the pre-arranged plan! Group 1 shall connect the fire hose to the water source and spray water at the fire point; Group 2 shall organize the workers to evacuate along the evacuation routes; Group 3 shall be responsible for counting the number of people to ensure that no one is left behind!"

The workers proceeded in an orderly manner, following their previous group assignments.

Fire hoses were quickly laid out, and water gushed out, spraying towards the thick smoke; workers bent over, covered their noses, and quickly evacuated along the designated evacuation routes without any panic.

At the same time, Guan Zu arrived at the scene with his mobile squad.

They were driving two emergency support vehicles, loaded with fire axes, breaching tools, and first-aid kits.

"Azu, take some men to check if anyone is trapped, and clear the passage with demolition tools!" Wang Jianjun shouted.

Guan Zu responded and led his team into the smoke-filled clubhouse.

Wearing gas masks and carrying fire axes, they carefully checked every corner.

"There's nobody here!"

"The second floor is safe too!"

After the team members reported back and confirmed that no one was trapped, they withdrew.

At the temporary medical station on the construction site, Sun Keyi and He Min were busy organizing fire and medical emergency supplies.
