The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 545: Hong Kong Past (26)

The year before Hong Kong was about to return to China, the streets were at their most chaotic, and various societies were taking advantage of this opportunity to frantically make the last fortune.

No, it's not just the community, there are many other places like this too, those locals who have no confidence in the future will try every possible way to escape from here and find a way out for themselves. To achieve this goal, they may use some radical methods, and they don't care about what consequences it will cause to their hometown.

At this time, naturally, many speculators from other places appeared. Unlike those who ran away, they wanted to acquire the assets here and use this opportunity to expand overseas markets. They might even take the opportunity to enter the mainland and make a fortune at a small cost.

Without exception, these people are all rich people. They are either big bosses or representatives of some large companies. If you can really get in touch with them, then even if a little bit of leftovers slips out of their mouths, it will be enough for ordinary people to eat a lot.

So the gang leader that Ah Fen is following, Brother Long, has already prepared for this moment.

Even though their gang is well-known on the streets, compared to the big bosses and big companies that can do multinational business, their identities are still not worthy of being in the upper class, and they will only be looked down upon, not to mention getting in touch with them.

So Brother Long started planning a year ago, established a real estate company, and kept inquiring for information. Finally, he learned about the Japanese business delegation from a boss with whom he had a good relationship.

By operating secretly, Brother Long spent a large sum of money to obtain admission to the exchange reception between local Hong Kong businessmen and the Japanese business delegation.

In order to ensure success this time, he called on Ah Fa, a rare talent who was reliable, handsome, and most importantly, smart. He was much better than those reckless and uneducated brothers. At least he didn't have to worry about being kicked out for acting too rashly.

So Brother Long and Afa, dressed in suits and ties, and accompanied by a high-priced simultaneous interpreter, walked to the entrance of the venue like two gentlemen.

"Hello, sir, do you have an invitation?" The security guard at the door stopped them. Brother Long took out the invitation from his arms and handed it to him. After confirming that it was correct, he led people into the venue of the cocktail party.

The entire venue was magnificent and all the people inside were gentlemen and ladies from the upper class. They were happily conversing about how to sell the benefits of Hong Kong and how to market it to these businessmen from Japan. From time to time, a few words of standard English popped up in their conversations, making them look elegant and luxurious.

"Wow, it's so classy." Ah Fa adjusted his black bow tie uncomfortably and said, "This is my first time in such an upscale place. Boss, I'm a little nervous."

He was not lying. As a gangster in a society, even if he had become a red stick, he was just a high-level gangster. The most upscale place he had been to was the high-end French restaurant in Central that anyone with money could enter. And that time he went in to pick up girls.

By the way, he still feels bad about not having enough for that meal, and in the end he didn’t get any girl, all his efforts were in vain.

By the way, that girl is An Qi, the daughter of the wealthy businessman surnamed Li. The reason why the two did not get together is because of their different values. An Qi likes the romantic Paris, France, and does not like fighting and killing. So when she was having a meal, she inadvertently expressed her contempt for the movie "A Better Tomorrow"...

Then, nothing more.

"Don't panic." Hearing Ah Fa's words, Brother Long smiled and greeted his acquaintance, then whispered, "Let me tell you, these upper-class people are actually the most despicable. I have done so many dirty jobs for them. Each of them looks decent, but in fact, they are dirtier than a cesspool. What they do even makes me feel disgusted."

"Even Brother Long feels disgusted?" Ah Fa nodded: "This is indeed obscene enough." Brother Long held back his laughter and cursed: "Hey, I'm warning you, don't make me laugh. This is a very important occasion. If you are kicked out, I will break your three legs."

Ah Fa shrugged: "Whatever you say is what it is. You are the boss after all."

Brother Long nodded in satisfaction. One of the things he liked about Ah Fa was that Ah Fa knew what to do and what to say in different situations, and would never overstep his authority. Moreover, he could talk to him like a friend and joke with him at ordinary times, but he would become reliable at critical moments. He was not like other people, who were either ignorant and annoying, or submissive and indecisive.

Brother Long looked around and began to look for his target. He was not interested in those Hong Kong bosses, as those people could be said to be his competitors.

Regarding this business delegation from Japan, the identities of the people in it are not made public, but it doesn't matter. As long as he hears Japanese being spoken somewhere, he will just go over there. It doesn't matter if there is no one to introduce him. He knows very well that he is just here to sell things, and as long as he can get along with even one person, he will make money.

Soon, he found a target, a Japanese man who was talking to someone in the corner. Brother Long winked at Ah Fa, and the two of them each took a glass of champagne from the waiter, then slowly walked over and began to promote themselves, with the translator interpreting at the same time.

"Hello, I'm the boss of XX Real Estate Company. I just heard you were talking about acquiring land..." Brother Long approached with a stiff face, and then failed.

The other party just said hello politely and left.

"Boss, people are ignoring you." Ah Fa said.

"These Japanese devils." A trace of displeasure flashed across Brother Long's face. Of course, he could see that the other party disdained him, but he did not get angry and said, "Keep going, you will always find a sucker."

They began hanging around at cocktail parties, carefully avoiding local businessmen who knew his identity.

However, when he forced his way into a conversation among a group of people, someone discovered Brother Long's identity.

"You... why are you here?" The businessman frowned and said, "This is not a place for people like you."

Ah Fa raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, but Brother Long stopped him.

Brother Long looked at the businessman expressionlessly: "What do you mean? Why can't I come?"

He remembered that this guy was a boss who cooperated with a hostile society. This was bad.

"Why?" The businessman showed a funny expression, and he shouted, "Tell me why? Hey, everyone, come and see, there's a gangster sneaking in here! I know this guy, he's from a gang! Hey, security guard, security guard, what do you do for a living? How dare you let this kind of person in? Get him out quickly!"
