Chapter 233
Xia Jianyong said bitterly: "Haizhou, we have nothing to do, so we borrowed a usury loan from the society. I was responsible for bringing Dong Liang to Xiangjiang, and I have to bring him back to his hometown intact."

Pan Haizhou said: "Old squad leader, Jiahao and I still have some money. We will take it out and give it to you. Hurry up and pay off the usury."

Xia Jianyong said distressedly: "Haizhou, thank you for your kindness. It is a drop in the bucket for you to borrow money from Jiahao. When I borrowed money, it was 1 yuan, but they took 8000% of the amount as "administrative fees", and the real income was [-] yuan." Yuan.

It is stipulated that the principal and interest must be paid off in one month, and about 1% of the repayment amount needs to be used as interest every other week, that is, 4000 yuan is required to be repaid in one week, and now it has risen to 35 yuan. "

After hearing Xia Jianyong's words, Pan Haizhou fell into silence. After working with Dong Jiahao and Bai Zirui, he and Dong Jiahao had a monthly salary of 5000 yuan, but they also sent the money back to their hometown except for the necessary living expenses. powerless.

When Bai Zirui watched Hong Kong movies in his previous life, there was a plot of loan sharks from associations, but he didn't expect it to be so dark. If Xia Jianyong didn't pay usury, I'm afraid the associations would force them to go evil.

Xiangjiang is an international metropolis, but due to the special environment of the times, many rivers and lakes societies have grown up. People can always think of one classic Xiangjiang movie after another, and the bloody rivers and lakes past.

Most of the Xiangjiang associations originated in the British colonial period, and the British management of the colony of Xiangjiang was very loose.Xiangjiang was far away from the British government, and Hong Kong’s economy was developing rapidly at that time. Many people wanted to get a share of Hong Kong’s pie.

At that time, the Xiangjiang River was a mixed bag, with locals, outsiders and foreigners. The system was loose, and ordinary people had nowhere to ask for advice.Perhaps, these people just huddled together to keep warm at first, but in the end they went on crooked ways.At its peak, Xiangjiang's associations reached tens of 10 people, and all aspects of Xiangjiang society were affected.

When Bai Zirui came to Xiangjiang to open a fast food restaurant, he had to deal with the society that was inevitable. He avoided a lot of trouble by using the tiger skin of an old ghost, and he still had to pay the monthly membership fee like the society.He is like this, people like Xia Jianyong who came out of Xiangjiang are even more helpless.

Thinking of this, Bai Zirui had some thoughts in his heart. He thought that the games and high-tech he would develop in the future would be profit-making industries, which would inevitably arouse the jealousy of the community. Instead of being passive at that time, it is better to take the initiative now.

As the saying goes, people don't hurt the tiger's will, but the tiger eats the heart.Why not use the incident of Xia Jianyong and his comrades in arms to control and support a society behind the scenes.

In this way, someone can help with some matters that he is inconvenient to come forward to, and secondly, he can gain the loyalty of Xia Jianyong and the others.

Bai Zirui said heartily: "Okay! Captain Xia is really a man of love and righteousness. I will pay back the usury you borrowed for you, so you can work in the factory with peace of mind."

Xia Jianyong said emotionally: "Mr. Bai, thank you! I will sell this life to you from now on."

Bai Zirui waved his hand and said, "Captain Xia, there's no need to do this. We are all compatriots from the mainland and should help each other. First, tell me about the association you borrowed money from. Let's make a good plan on how to pay back the money. future trouble."

Xia Jianyong introduced to Bai Zirui the basic situation of the club he borrowed money from. The club Xia Jianyong borrowed money from is one of the many clubs in Kwun Tong, Kowloon called He Sheng Tang.The head of the club is Du Yunpo, and people in the Jianghu are called Du Zai'er. There are more than 400 people in the club.

These community members usually bully the market and bully their compatriots, but they don't dare to offend ghosts. Bai Zirui happens to have a ghost as a shield.

The ghost named George is a gambler. Sun Wenhao met him by chance after he arrived in Xiangjiang. He had the idea to use his tiger skin to successfully open a trading company. Only with this tiger skin can he smoothly provide machinery and equipment to the mainland. .

Bai Zirui also met him once after he came to Xiangjiang. When the Causeway Bay restaurant opened, some community members came to collect membership fees. It was his tiger skin that made the community members dare not open their mouths.

Bai Zirui called George and asked him to come to the factory. George rushed to the factory soon, and when they met, he gave Bai Zirui a big hug and said enthusiastically, "Hi, Bai, long time no see!"

Bai Zirui said in fluent English: "Hi, George, long time no see! I need your help here, and the reward will definitely satisfy you after it's done."

George said with a smile, "Bai, I'm happy to help you. What can I do?"

Bai Zirui smiled and told George the solution to the matter he was thinking of. George nodded and said, "Good! OK!"

After Bai Zirui explained to George, he asked Xia Jianyong to take them to a karaoke base in Heshengtang. Bai Zirui asked Pan Haizhou to meet him outside the door. He led Xia Jianyong and George into the door of the karaoke hall with their heads held high.

A gangster with yellow hair came to meet him. He recognized Xia Jianyong, and said casually, "Hey! Why did Captain Xia come to our karaoke hall? What can I do for you?"

Bai Zirui said proudly: "Of course I'm here to pay back the money. Tell your boss Du Zaier to come out. Remember to bring Captain Xia's IOU along with you."

This little gangster knew that Xia Jianyong and the others had just come to Xiangjiang from the mainland not long ago, so where did they get so much money to repay the usury loan, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and asked with some surprise: "Captain Xia, have you collected enough money?"

Xia Jianyong said: "We met a kind boss who was willing to help us pay back the money. We worked hard for him and asked Du Zai'er to come over with my IOU, and we paid back the money!"

After hearing what he said, the gangster turned around and walked to the second floor of the karaoke hall to invite their boss Du Yunpo. The gangster came to Du Yunpo's side and reported to him: "Brother Po, Xia Jianyu, the security captain of Liji Electronics Factory, is here and said yes Their boss wants to pay him back."

Du Yunpo asked: "Xia Jianyong is here? Did his comrades come together?"

The little gangster replied respectfully: "Brother Po, Xia Jianyong's comrade-in-arms did not come! He is accompanied by a young man and a ghost!"

Du Yunpo couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and said suspiciously: "Ghost? He's a big boy from the mainland, how can he have anything to do with the ghost?"

The younger brother asked from the side: "Brother Po, do you want to meet them?"

Du Yunpo said: "See! I'm still afraid that a ghost will fail, otherwise how can I mess around in the Tao in the future."

After he finished speaking, he brought a few younger brothers downstairs with the younger brother who reported the letter. Bai Zirui looked at Du Yunpo with great interest, but Du Yunpo's eyes were not on Xia Jianyong, but looked at George, the ghost, in surprise. .

Xia Jianyong saw Du Yunpo's younger brother molesting the female factory workers, and he taught Du Yunpo's younger brother a clean and tidy lesson, which happened to fall into Du Yunpo's eyes.

Du Yunbo admired his skills very much, and when he learned that he had a group of comrades with such good skills, he came up with the idea of ​​subduing them.

He Sheng Tang led by him lacks people who can fight and kill to sit in the hall. With Xia Jianyong and his comrades joining in, he can dominate the Kowloon Road.
