Chapter 478: Off to Shopping
Chapter 478: Off to Shopping
The next morning, Zhang Lei woke up in the villa, looked at Ding Qiunan, Yu Haitang and He Yushui beside him, and went to the living room.
He found Zhang Zhiqiang, who was standing to the side, and said, "From now on, you will be my housekeeper and responsible for relaying information to me."
Zhang Zhiqiang immediately stood behind Zhang Lei and replied, "Yes, boss."
Zhang Lei looked at him and said with a smile, "Now tell me about some of our current businesses in Hong Kong."
Zhang Zhiqiang took out a stack of documents from beside him and gently placed them on the table for Zhang Lei to review. He then said, "Boss, we currently own a technology company, an investment company, a security company, and a real estate company."
Zhang Lei nodded after hearing this: "What about the others?"
Zhang Zhiqiang continued, "Of the 900 combat robots, some were stationed in security companies as security personnel, while the rest were hidden in various police forces, criminal organizations, and even rival companies."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei thought to himself, "This robot is quite powerful; it can even do espionage."
Zhang Zhiqiang looked at Zhang Lei and asked, "Boss, should we gather them together?"
Zhang Lei waved his hand: "Let them continue gathering intelligence."
Then he looked at Zhang Zhiqiang: "Are you currently in contact with robots in other places?"
Zhang Zhiqiang replied, "Currently, we only have contact with those in Europe; we have no business dealings with the others and haven't made any moves yet."
Zhang Lei nodded after listening: "Alright, now that I'm here, contact everyone I've arranged around the world under top-secret procedures. Hong Kong is just a temporary stop for us. Tell all the robots to create one or more doubles for themselves, and to protect themselves and not expose themselves. This kind of thing has far-reaching consequences; if even one is exposed, it will cause us huge trouble."
Zhang Lei described it as a nuisance rather than a danger because robots can evade any currently known danger. However, once one is exposed, more robots will appear in the public eye, and the wealth they create will be lost.
Zhang Zhiqiang nodded seriously.
Zhang Lei continued, "We are now looking for a small island in Hong Kong to serve as our base. You should have someone discuss this with the British government."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiqiang replied, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away."
Zhang Lei then instructed, "The commercial robots are currently in Hong Kong, and you have a total of 100 units including them. You need to set up a team specifically to coordinate with all our industries worldwide. At least for now, you need to understand the progress of each matter, where mutual assistance is needed, and how to connect with each other. Don't do these things alone."
"Oh, and also, find Zhang Batian. I'll give him a few more combat robots and have them modify them to create a gang. The gang will be called the 'Bombing Heaven Gang'."
Zhang Zhiqiang was slightly taken aback when he heard Zhang Lei choose such a domineering name.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Lei sent 10 combat robots out of the space. Each one was a burly, strong man with tattoos and scars on his body, looking like a menacing opponent.
Zhang Zhiqiang looked at Zhang Lei and asked, "Boss, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, get the car ready for me. Once my wife and children wake up, I'll take them to see the prosperity of Hong Kong. Security must be at the highest level."
Zhang Zhiqiang nodded, replied "Yes," and left with the 10 robots.
Soon, everyone woke up one after another, looked at Zhang Lei, and waited to have breakfast together.
Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Let's all sit down and eat together, and see how Hong Kong breakfast differs from ours."
These breakfasts were purchased in advance by Zhang Zhiqiang from several famous breakfast shops in Hong Kong. Looking at the abundant and varied breakfast options, everyone couldn't resist trying them one by one.
Seeing Guan Xiaoguan wince as she scalded herself with a crab roe bun, Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Eat slowly, let the soup drain out first."
Breakfast was finished amidst everyone's laughter and banter.
Zhang Lei looked at his fifteen wives and said with a smile, "Today, I'll take you to see some famous places in Hong Kong. We might be staying here for a long time in the future, so try to learn Cantonese as soon as possible for easier communication. Your task today is to go shopping. Buy whatever you want, there's no limit. But you must ensure that each of you has two robots with you. When you're outside, give the robots names and try to call them by their names. If I don't call them by their names, you can just call them by name."
Soon, a large group of nearly two hundred people and dozens of vehicles set off from Repulse Bay, attracting frequent glances from passersby.
The convoy soon arrived in Wan Chai. Zhang Lei took out US$2000 million and gave it to 15 robots, each responsible for accompanying a lady on her shopping spree.
Watching them shop, Zhang Lei frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Zhiqiang beside him, asking, "Is Wan Chai District, Causeway Bay, in this area?"
Zhang Zhiqiang replied, "Yes, boss. Would you like to go to Causeway Bay?"
Zhang Lei thought for a moment and then asked, "Is Chan Ho-nam the current boss of Causeway Bay?"
Zhang Zhiqiang shook his head and replied, "The one currently in Causeway Bay is Big B."
Hearing this, Zhang Lei smiled, thinking that since Big B was still alive, it meant that Handsome Kun was still around.
At this moment, Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Zhiqiang and asked, "Does Dongxing have someone named Crow?"
Zhang Zhiqiang nodded.
Following that, Zhang Lei asked many people and discovered that Hong Kong is now a place where film and variety shows are integrated.
Hearing this, Zhang Lei became interested and said with a smile, "Go tell Zhang Batian to develop as quickly as possible. If he needs money, give him money. When the time comes, tell him to bring Crow over. I want to see him flip the table."
Zhang Zhiqiang asked in confusion, "Flip the table?"
Zhang Lei nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it's like flipping the table, or even taking an airplane."
Seeing Zhang Zhiqiang's puzzled look, Zhang Lei said directly, "Look at you, you have no sense of humor at all. Drive me around Causeway Bay."
Zhang Lei looked at the location of Causeway Bay and thought it was indeed good. He then got out of the car in a bustling area, accompanied by five bodyguards.
Soon, he saw a jewelry store and thought about buying some jewelry for his wives to dress them up.
But just as they reached the jewelry store entrance, a figure suddenly bumped into Zhang Lei with a "bang." The five bodyguards were startled and quickly surrounded Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei recognized the girl as a young and beautiful woman, waved his hand, and asked, "Are you alright?"
The girl was startled to see so many bodyguards around Zhang Lei and quickly apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
Zhang Lei smiled and said, "It's nothing."
But when Zhang Lei saw her anxious look, he looked back and suddenly noticed a few blond-haired boys chasing after them.
Zhang Lei looked at her and suddenly realized the girl in front of him had a familiar look. His eyes widened in shock, and he thought to himself, "Isn't that Chingmy Yau? It's her!"
