Hong Kong General: The Departed? No, I am the Hong Kong Island Tyrant

Chapter 199 Brother Qing, from now on you are my real brother! [Please order the whole thing]

Eleven o'clock noon.

Tsuen Wan, a private room on the third floor of the Imperial Palace Restaurant.

A large round table, large enough for twenty people to sit around, was filled with a variety of meats, seafood, snacks, and wine and food.

Di Qing picked up the wine glass, raised it to the group of people in charge, and said, "Everyone, drink this glass to the bottom. I toast to you all."

"cheers!"

Everyone drank together and finished the wine in their cups.

"Ah Qing, I heard that you are planning to shoot a new movie. How come you are still free to treat us to dinner today?"

"Yeah, Brother Qing, if you have something to say, just call me. There's no need to spend so much money."

After drinking, everyone started asking questions with puzzled expressions.

These days, we have been busy dealing with Dongxing and no one has time to take care of other things. Now that Dongxing has finally been dealt with, why is Di Qing suddenly inviting us to dinner?
If it was to celebrate becoming the leader, I should have treated everyone to a meal yesterday.

You're here to treat me today, so obviously there's something going on!

Di Qing smiled and said, "Today we invited everyone here for the club's business, but don't worry, let's eat and chat."

"Row!"

"no problem!"

"Then let's eat and talk..."

Everyone nodded.

Then the banquet began.

Everyone started to move their chopsticks.

Di Qing also picked up a peanut to suppress the smell of alcohol, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Brother Yao, Prince, I wonder what you all think of the future of our Hongxing?"

"future?"

Everyone frowned slightly and then started talking.

"How else can I see it? It's getting better and better!"

"That's right! We in Hongxing now have more than a dozen gangs, and we are strong and powerful. Sooner or later, we will surpass the three major gangs, Hutchison, Sun Kee and Number Gang!"

"The more prosperous the society is, the more prosperous our Hongxing will be. The more prosperous our Hongxing is, the more prosperous Hong Kong Island will be!"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed.

However, Chen Yao, Feilong and Chen Haonan seemed to be thinking about something.

Then, Chen Haonan asked, "Brother Qing, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Yes, Qingzi, if you have something to say, just say it. We are all family." Feilong also said.

Di Qing nodded, looked around at everyone and said, "Actually, what everyone said is correct. Our Hongxing's power has been growing stronger recently. At this moment, in terms of territory, number of people, reputation and other aspects, it is almost as good as Heliansheng and Xinji."

"If Hong Kong Island is always controlled by foreigners and remains in such a state of chaos, then it doesn't matter. We don't have to worry about anything. We should just make money and get along as we please."

"But if the situation in Hong Kong Island changes, we, Hung Hing, will immediately become the main target of attack!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and then they put down their chopsticks, frowned and began to think.

After a moment, Chen Yao's eyes flickered and he said, "Ah Qing, are you talking about the issue of Hong Kong's return after 1997?"

"That's right!"

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "You have been out here for so long, you should have some understanding of the situation in the mainland. The mainland is not like us, and the control over various gray industries is very strict, especially the H society, which is the focus of the mainland's crackdown and is an illegal organization!"

"Once Hong Kong returns to China, the greater the power of our Hongxing, the easier it will be for us to become the main target of the mainland government's crackdown. In fact, the mainland may even be considering the problem of rampant H society in Hong Kong!"

"A Qing, it shouldn't be that serious, right?" Xiyan frowned.

"Yes, Ah Qing, no matter what, there are still five or six years before Hong Kong returns to China. Who knows what will happen by then?"

The prince also spoke up: "What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of gangsters in Hong Kong Island. Even if he controls them strictly, is it possible that he will arrest all of them?"

"The prince is right!"

"Brother Qing, you are just too worried!"

Most people spoke up with nonchalance on their faces, and they obviously did not believe that the situation in Hong Kong Island would change after its return to the mainland.

It is nothing more than replacing the foreign government with the mainland government.

The people at the top will still make money as they should.

They are out there to make money, so they're just going to make money the way they're supposed to.

It has been like this for decades... no, hundreds of years.

How could it possibly change?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Di Qing couldn't help but shook his head.

There is no sense of crisis at all!
If I continue like this, sooner or later I will be implicated by these guys and die without knowing how...

"I think what Ah Qing said makes sense!"

Chen Yao suddenly said, "In fact, I have also been paying attention to the situation in the mainland over the years. It is indeed different from ours. The control over H society is very strict."

"It's just that they just opened up, so their economy may not be comparable to ours for now, but in fact, they have developed very fast over the past few decades. I think one day, the mainland's economy will catch up with Hong Kong Island, or even surpass ours."

Hearing this, the box suddenly became quiet.

Then, everyone shook their heads: "How is this possible!"

"I went there two years ago. Do you know how much the workers there earn? Only a few dozen yuan a month. How can it be compared with what we earn here?"

"Yeah, Brother Yao, what you said is simply impossible!"

Seeing this, Chen Yao could only shake his head helplessly.

"What Brother Yao said is actually not wrong!"

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the mainland cannot be compared with Hong Kong Island at present, but looking at the various developments and changes in the mainland over the years, the speed is actually not slow."

"To the entire world, the mainland at this moment is like a lion that is lurking and recuperating. Once this lion wakes up and shows its fangs to the world, the entire world will change!"

"What's more, although we were born in Hong Kong Island, we are Chinese after all. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang. The Hong Kong Island where we live is equivalent to the sons of the motherland. Sons will return to the arms of their mothers one day."

"It's okay for us to live here now, because this is still a colony of the foreigners. We don't have to obey the laws made by the foreigners."

"But what about the day we return?"

"As descendants of the Yellow Emperor, should we go against our motherland?"

"If we really do this, what's the difference between us and those traitors and running dogs during the Anti-Japanese War?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the box suddenly became silent.

After a long while, Brother Ji smiled awkwardly: "Ah Qing, what you said is too serious, isn't it? How can we be considered traitors and running dogs?"

"Yes, A-Qing!"

Xiyan frowned and said, "I understand what you mean, but Hong Kong's H society has a long history. When we Chinese came to Hong Kong, we were bullied by those foreigners. If we Chinese hadn't united and established associations, our status in Hong Kong today might be even lower. How could we live so well?"

"It is good that the times have progressed. Even after Hong Kong's return to China, we will not deny that we are Chinese and descendants of Yan and Huang, and we will not deny our motherland."

"But there are so many gangs and so many young and dangerous people in Hong Kong Island. If we are not allowed to survive, how can we survive?"

Han Bin rarely spoke up, "Yes, for the mainland, H societies are illegal, but we have so many societies and so many brothers. Are we going to disband them all? Will we be left with nothing?"

Di Qing shook his head slightly: "Of course, the society cannot be disbanded, but it can be transformed."

"Transformation?"

Feilong's eyes moved: "Qingzi, do you mean... to switch to a legitimate business?"

Di Qing nodded: "Not bad!"

"In fact, everyone should have discovered in recent years that many H societies in Hong Kong Island are gradually transforming, slowly whitewashing, and turning into legal industries."

"For example, Xinji is a very obvious example."

"Mr. Xu from Xinji has established connections with the mainland and travels there every few days to invest and do business, and his business is still developing very well."

"Including Hong Kong Island, Sun Kee has also been doing very well in the film industry over the years. The police rarely cause trouble for Sun Kee."

"Explanation?"

"It is because most of Xinji's businesses have been transformed, so it is difficult for the police to catch them!"

Everyone immediately started talking and nodding.

Indeed, among the several large social organizations in Hong Kong Island, Sun Kee has rarely encountered any problems over the years.

"It's no problem to clean up the name of our gang, but it's hard to clean up the names of our gang's businesses, right?" The prince frowned and said, "For nightclubs like bars, nightclubs, saunas, discos, it's easy for us to clean up the name of our gang as long as we don't have any fans. But gambling dens, horse stables, and guarding the venues and collecting protection fees are all illegal. How can they be cleaned up?"

Di Qing smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to be so anxious. We can take it step by step."

"Like bars, nightclubs, saunas, discos and other nightclubs, everyone should open as usual. As long as we don't sell pills or do drugs inside, the police can't catch us. Even after the handover, everyone can still open and do business as usual."

"As for gambling dens and horse stables, everyone should try to be more restrained in recent years and be well prepared. As long as they are not caught by the police, there will be no problem."

"As for parking, security guarding, and collecting protection fees, you can refer to my previous Mong Kok gang. I turned these businesses into legitimate enterprises in the form of a security company. As long as there are formal contract documents and taxes are paid on time every month, even if the police find out, nothing will happen!"

At this point, Di Qing finally revealed his true purpose.

Hearing this, everyone gradually quieted down and immediately understood Di Qing's idea.

But it's not that they haven't thought about these things. The main reason is that they don't want to cause trouble and don't want to pay taxes to the foreigners. Everyone does this, and no one gets into trouble every day. So except Di Qing, no other society in the entire Hong Kong Island does this.

And now, Di Qing obviously wants to set up all the gangs in this way.

Do you have to sign a contract to watch the show and collect protection fees, and you also have to pay taxes to the foreigners on time?
What the hell is this called H society?
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and no one was in a hurry to speak.

But after a moment, Tang Twelve, Jiu Wenlong, and Kele spoke up one after another: "I agree with Brother Qing's proposal!"

"I agree!"

Feilong hesitated for a moment and then spoke as well.

"I agree!"

"I don't have any problem either!"

Afterwards, Taizi, A Tai, Chen Haonan, Tang Bao, Sha Qiang, Achao and Da Fei spoke one after another.

For them, it doesn't matter if they earn less. Di Qing is the leader now, and they don't want to offend Di Qing. Especially since A Tai, Chen Haonan, Tang Bao and Sha Qiang were able to become the decision-makers because of Di Qing's help.

What's more, doing this will save you some trouble in the future and you won't have to worry about police inspections, so it's definitely worth the transformation.

Di Qing looked at Xiyan, Han Bin, Ji Ge, A Xin, and Sheng Fan who had not spoken yet, and asked, "Brother Xiyan, Brother Bin, what do you think?"

Han Bin frowned and said, "Ah Qing, I'm not offending you. The main reason is that most of our Kwai Tsing area is factories and rural areas. There are not many nightclubs, and the monthly revenue is not much. But the brothers have to eat. If we have to pay taxes to the foreigners, the brothers will get even less money. Even if I agree to do this, the brothers will have objections!"

"Yes, Ah Qing, you used to live in a place like Mong Kok where you can make a lot of money, so of course you don't know our difficulties!"

Brother Ji also said, "In Sai Wan, not only do we not have as many places as Yau Tsim Mong and Causeway Bay, but the economy is also not as good as that of Central. We can't make much money every month, and we still have to pay taxes to the society. If we have to pay taxes to the foreigners, what will we eat?"

"Brother Bing, Brother Ji, I know what you mean!"

Di Qing took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "I know that everyone is having a hard time, but I am doing this for safety reasons. The return of Hong Kong Island is imminent, and the sooner everyone can clean up their act and transform, the better."

"If we clean up our name now, we can still work peacefully for a few years without worrying about the police investigating. And after the handover, we may still be able to find jobs. But if we wait until Hong Kong Island is returned and the mainland government takes over, we won't even be able to work. These industries will definitely be wiped out, and then the brothers will have nothing to eat!"

"So it's better to transform now, clean up the business of the society, and develop other businesses peacefully, so that the brothers won't starve after returning."

"Doing other business? It's not that easy!"

Xiyan said helplessly: "Ah Qing, do you think everyone's business is as simple as yours? You can make tens of millions just by making a movie!"

"Yes, A'qing, if you can take me to make a movie and make tens of millions from a movie, I will listen to you and do whatever you ask me to do without any hesitation!" Brother Ji had his eyes on Di Qing's film industry again.

Di Qing's mouth twitched, and he pressed his hands down. When everyone was silent, he said, "Brother Xiyan, Brother Ji, don't worry. Since I said this, I must have a reason. I won't let you go without food."

As he spoke, Di Qing looked at Han Bin first and asked, "Brother Bin, I remember that in addition to the business of the society, you also did smuggling business yourself, right?"

"Correct."

Han Bin did not deny it: "I cooperate with several bosses in Guangdong Province. I ship some goods from there to Kwai Tsing and sell them here. I can make one or two million every month. In addition, I am also engaged in arms in Kwai Tsing. I know two friends in Macau who are engaged in arms. Occasionally, I will bring some arms from there to sell."

"How much money can you make selling arms in Hong Kong Island?"

Di Qing shook his head and said, "You are a good person in the smuggling business, but you are doing it on a small scale. If you believe in me, you can cooperate with me, openly set up a logistics company, secretly get a few more ships, talk to a few more bosses, and you will definitely make more than two million a month!"

Han Bin said helplessly: "How can it be so easy? Do you think buying a ship is easy? And it's hard to get connections. If you go to their door, they won't believe you. If they go to their door, they're afraid of being cheated. If you're not careful, you'll lose a lot of money. In the end, you can't even find the person..."

Di Qing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the boat. I can invest the money first and we can talk about it later when I make money."

"As for the smuggling route..."

Di Qing smiled and said, "I have a business in Thailand. The risk is a bit high, but the profit is definitely very high!"

"Fruits from Thailand, such as durian, sugar cane, mango, coconut, etc., as well as agricultural products such as grain and rubber, are all scarce goods in Hong Kong Island. As long as they can be shipped back, there is no problem selling them."

"In addition, clothing, watches, toys, cosmetics and other products from Hong Kong Island can also be shipped to Thailand for sale."

"One way or another, there's definitely some profit to be made!"

Han Bin's eyes lit up as he listened, and he couldn't help but say, "If there really is a way, you can definitely make money, but... it's not a small investment!"

"I told you, don't worry about the investment. We can start small and grow big."

Di Qing waved his hand, then looked at Ah Chao, Sha Qiang and the Sheng Fan people, and said: "This business is not only for Han Bin, but also for the coastal areas like you. You can invest some money yourself, borrow money, or get a bank loan. I can help you open up the way."

Several people's breathing suddenly became rapid.

It is impossible for them not to be jealous when they see Han Bin making money.

But there is no way, no way and no money to invest!

If Di Qing could help them, then these would not be a problem.

If you can make money by doing legitimate business, who would come out to fight and kill people every day?

After convincing a few people, Di Qing looked at the prince again and said, "Prince, don't you like boxing? Then expand your boxing gym business!"

"Boxing gym?"

The prince's mouth twitched: "How much money can you make by opening a boxing gym?"

Di Qing nodded: "You won't make much money if you open a boxing gym alone, but you can open a martial arts gym, recruit apprentices, and teach boxing!"

"Open a martial arts school?"

The prince's eyes lit up, but he soon shook his head bitterly: "Why open a martial arts school? First, I have no reputation, and second, I don't know any martial arts. I practice boxing, which not many people learn nowadays. Do you think I am Ip Man?"

Di Qing smiled and said, "If you are not famous, you can find a few famous martial arts schools to challenge, or participate in a few competitions to become famous. As for not knowing martial arts... this is also easy. I will introduce a martial arts master to you one day. With his support, the martial arts school can be opened 100%!"

The prince was frightened and was stunned: "Is there really a way?"

Di Qing smiled without saying anything, and then looked at Xiyan: "Brother Xiyan, I remember that you also set up a decoration and construction company, right?"

Xiyan nodded: "Yes, my eldest brother Longlong and I set up a construction and decoration company before, but there has been no business. Now there is a lot of competition in this industry..."

Di Qing interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said with a smile: "I have a project for you now. I plan to buy the land in Tsuen Wan, which is the land of my group, and build a bay villa myself..."

Xiyan's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he stared at Di Qing closely: "You want to do real estate?! Is that true? Ah Qing?!"

Di Qing nodded with a smile, then looked at Da Fei: "Da Fei, don't you like betting on horses? Why don't you just start your own horse racing newspaper, and by the way, you can also start your own media company. I will help you invest, and with my film and music companies, I will be able to help you become famous soon!"

Da Fei suddenly became excited: "Ah Qing, I will listen to you wherever you say!"

"And A-Tai, didn't you take over Fatty Li's pornographic magazine business? Brother Kun left behind a film company that specializes in making pornographic films. Are you interested in taking over?"

A-Tai's eyes turned red: "Qing...Brother Qing, you are my real brother!"

"Brother Ji, aren't you a loan shark? Go set up a financial company. I'll introduce you to the 'Hong Kong Stock God' someday. They trade stocks, and the last thing they lack is cash..."

"Ah Qing, you are so kind, you will still be my brother from now on!"

……

"Brother Xin, there seem to be a few repair shops in Kwun Tong, right? I'll introduce Sai Kung Dasha to you someday. He specializes in second-hand cars in Sai Kung. Also, what's the future of auto repair? Just open a 4S shop and I'll help you attract investment!"

"Ah Qing...from now on you are my real father!"

"Brother Chao, your Hong Kong side..."

……

In less than half an hour, Di Qing pointed out a way to make money for almost everyone based on the business done by the leaders of each district and the characteristics of their regions, and his explanations were extremely detailed.

From investment and operation to profit, risk and so on, everything was explained clearly to them.

Di Qing helps those who have no money; Di Qing helps those who have no connections; Di Qing helps those who don’t know anyone!
For a moment, everyone's faces turned red and they were extremely excited.

Chen Yao sat nearby, staring in amazement. Finally, seeing that all the leaders had something to do, he suddenly felt itchy and couldn't help himself.

"Ah... Qing, Brother Qing, um... what kind of business do you think is suitable for me?"

"Brother Yao, do you have any business now?"

"No, I just bought a lot of properties in the past few years."

"...So what are you good at? Or do you have any other strengths?"

"Uh... I'm good at saving money. Is having a lot of money an advantage?"

"..."
