Chapter 71 The Sick Cats of Causeway Bay
About five minutes later, Chen Nanlu walked into the office with a happy expression and said, "Our Chairman Chen said that he is willing to befriend you. From now on, your people will be in charge of several streets in Causeway Bay. We will not interfere with who you hand over the management to. However, you are not allowed to act recklessly, otherwise the group will take back the jurisdiction."

"Of course!" Chen Jiajun said, extending his hand to Chen Nanlu: "Good boy, you should thank President Chen for his help."

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your care!" Good Fighter grasped Chen Nanlu's right hand with both hands.

"It's not a matter of mentoring, but good boy, your older brother is a promising person. Follow him and work hard!" Chen Nanlu said, patting the good boy on the shoulder.

In this way, Chen Jiajun, without lifting a finger, took over Paterson Street, Canning Street, Kingston Street, Hau Shing Street, and Leigh George Street in Causeway Bay.
Chiang Tin-sang naturally believed that with his support, Chan Ho-nam would be no worse than Good Fighter.

But he certainly didn't expect Chen Jiajun's many ways of making money to surprise him!
After seeing Chen Nanlu off, Good Fighter couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Brother Jun, I really don't know how to do this. How do I run a property management company?"

Chen Jiajun asked, "How many people do you have under your command right now?"

The tough guy replied, "It's usable, 20 people."

Chen Jiajun asked, "Will they collect protection money?"

The tough guy replied, "Yes."

Chen Jiajun asked, "Can you drive?"

The tough guy replied, "Yes."

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "All you need to do is collect protection money and drive. Tomorrow I will give each of your twenty men a set of security uniforms. Their main job from now on will be to maintain order on these streets."

Customers cannot park randomly; they can only park in our parking lot, just like the parking attendants.

In addition, you should hire a dozen or so elderly men and women to clean these streets in two shifts, morning and evening. That's the job of the property management company.

"Of course, you also need to collect property fees from the shops. You should know that you are now backed by Hang Lung Group, you are a legitimate company, so be more assertive."

……

The next day.

Chen Jiajun, along with Hao Dazai and Chen Nanlu, signed the relevant contracts at Hang Lung Centre. Immediately afterwards, senior executives from Hang Lung Group took Chen Jiajun and the others to meet the main tenants on these streets.

The shop tenants were all smiles as they faced dozens of men who averaged 1.9 meters in height, all with fierce faces, and who looked like they were capable of anything except good deeds.

And the work of the tough guy proceeded smoothly.

That day, they collected 108 million yuan in property management fees, plus over 100,000 yuan in other expenses, including parking fees, tips, and so on.

The biggest source of income for this property isn't property management fees, but rather parking fees and tips. Due to the high foot traffic, they can collect 5 yuan in parking fees and tips every day.

It's important to know that many of Hung Hing's branches only have a monthly turnover of two to three million!

The property management company earns at least 200 million yuan a month just from this land. All they have to pay are the wages of the dozen or so elderly men and women. The rest is pure profit!
And there's absolutely no need to worry about showing off your horse or cheating on your friends.

Trying to take over territory?

Let's ask Hang Lung Group first!
Even if Hang Lung Group agrees, we still have to ask Chen Jiajun first!

When Good Fighters were making a fortune here, Chan Ho-nam, along with Chicken, Tai Tin Yee, and Bao Pi, arrived at Chiang Tin-sang's villa.

The sickly cats of Causeway Bay, now aware of the complexities of the underworld, behaved very obediently and cautiously upon seeing the leader of Hung Hing, bowing respectfully in unison.
"Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Tiansheng, puffing on his cigar, smiled and said, "Don't be so formal, please sit down."

The sick cats of Causeway Bay took their seats, and Jiang Tiansheng sighed and said, "Anan, later Ayao will bring a few influential friends to the Brilliant Nightclub to support you. They will come every day from now on. As for how to handle the accounts, Ayao will have someone guide you. Pay a little more then, and I'll cover the difference for you if it's not enough."

Jiang Tiansheng's method was simple: he hired shills to create a false impression.

“Thank you, thank you, Mr. Jiang!” Chan Ho-nam nodded gratefully. Jiang Tin-sang continued, “Causeway Bay is your elder brother’s life’s work, and I don’t want it to fall into other people’s hands…”

Just then, Chen Yao rushed in, panting, and said, "Mr. Jiang, the Hang Lung Group has handed over five streets—Paterson Street, Canning Street, Kingston Street, Hau Shing Street, and Leigh Street—to Good Boy! It was Liang Jun who helped Good Boy take them over!"

"what!"

Jiang Tiansheng was startled. These five streets were the most bustling and had the highest foot traffic in the entire Causeway Bay!
Don't the businesses in Hong Kong envy these few streets?

I'm not envious at all!

Because the ownership of these streets is very concentrated, belonging to the Hang Lung Group, a major conglomerate in Hong Kong.

Large conglomerates like Hang Lung Group are not to be trifled with by these companies.

The gangsters all know very well who they can mess with and who they can't in Hong Kong.

These wealthy individuals all hold the title of Justice of the Peace, and some have even been honored by the Queen of England!

In this situation, unless you're a complete idiot, who would dare to go to these territories to collect protection money?

Jiang Tiansheng knew very well the value of these five streets. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Haonan and the other sick cats in Causeway Bay also felt a chill run down their spines.

Chen Yao explained breathlessly, "Many of Liangzai Jun's men work on the Henglong Group's construction sites. Perhaps Liangzai Jun pleased the Henglong Group, so the Henglong Group gave them control of these five streets."

"Push to the street!"

Jiang Tiansheng cursed fiercely. With a large corporation backing them up in this kind of territory, making money couldn't be more comfortable; it was practically like making money while lying down.

In this way, no matter how many shills Chiang Tin-sang arranges, it will be impossible for Chan Ho-nam to reach the level of a good fighter.

Unless he really goes all out and personally funds a position for Chan Ho-nam as the leader, but that would be too fake and deliberate.

Upon hearing this, the members of Causeway Bay Clinic clenched their fists, with Chan Ho-nam's face being the most gloomy.

Jiang Tiansheng's chest heaved up and down; his mind was in turmoil, and he lost his composure for a moment.

After a long silence, Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand and said, "You guys go back first. Take good care of the place these next few days and let me think about how to handle it!"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

On the way back to Causeway Bay after leaving the villa owned by Cheung Tin-sang, Chicken gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Nam, how about we take care of Good Boy?"

"Do you know what you're saying! Have you forgotten what happened to Brother B?" Chan Ho-nam roared.

Chicken roared back, "Then what are we going to do? Are we really going to hand over Causeway Bay like this? If you can't get to the top, neither can we! We'll be underlings for life! We'll be gangsters for life!"

"Damn it!" Chen Haonan slammed his fist on the steering wheel, slammed on the brakes, and pulled the car over to the side of the road, yelling, "Then what do you suggest we do?!"

"You're asking me? How should I know! You're the boss!" Chicken pointed at Chan Ho-nam, his voice trembling with emotion, spitting as he shouted, "If you don't rise to the top, the three of us will have to eat shit for you for the rest of our lives! Don't you understand?!"

After saying that, Shanji got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

Bao Pi and Da Tian Er got out of the car and rushed forward to comfort him, while Chen Haonan sat in the car without saying a word.

The sick cats in Causeway Bay feel utterly lost about their future.
