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

Chapter 244 A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake!
Tuen Mun is located next to Tsuen Wan. It began to develop into a new town in the 1960s. It is a famous residential area among the 18 districts of Hong Kong Island. Tuen Mun has a population of 300,000, of which 70% live in public housing estates.

There are very few entertainment venues on the streets. Even if there are, they are mostly game halls, casinos and the like. It is almost impossible for the H society to make any money here.

Di Qing brought Long Wu, the prince and others to Tuen Mun. Han Bin and Shengfan were already waiting at Shengfan's hot pot restaurant with their people.

"Aqing!"

"Brother Qing!"

Seeing Di Qing coming, Han Bin and Shengfan immediately brought people to greet him.

Seeing the two men's red and excited faces, Di Qing smiled and joked, "Brother Bin, Shengfan, it seems that you two have a very rich life this time in the inland."

"Hey, don't mention it!"

Han Bin waved his hand and said, "In the past, someone treated us to meals every day, but every meal was pork and beef. I almost vomited!"

"Abin, isn't it good to have pork to eat? It's more than ten dollars a pound in Hong Kong Island!" The prince laughed.

"Prince, stop making sarcastic remarks. If you go there once, you will know whether it is good or not!" Han Bin rolled his eyes.

"Okay, how was your trip to the mainland this time? Tell me about it." Di Qing interrupted.

"Let's go in and talk."

Han Bin said this, inviting everyone into the hot pot restaurant, and then told his younger brother to start serving the dishes.

Everyone sat at the table and talked while eating.

After drinking a round of wine, the prince looked at Han Bin impatiently and asked, "Abin, tell me quickly, how was your trip to the mainland this time?"

Hearing this, Han Bin no longer kept the secret and began to tell about their experience of going to Jinhai.

"...I made an appointment with several bosses from Jinhai to load goods at the dock, but before we finished unloading the goods, we were suddenly surrounded by people."

"I found out after asking that it turned out to be Cheng Tai, the chairman of some fucking Jiangong Group. I heard that it's the largest real estate and construction group in Jinhai, and he's very influential in Jinhai..."

"Cheng Tai?"

Di Qing's eyes moved, a little surprised.

This name suddenly reminded him of a familiar film or TV series.

When he heard Han Bin say that he was going to Jinhai, he thought it was just a coincidence. He didn’t expect that it was really the Jinhai he had imagined!

"What? Ah Qing, do you know this person?" Seeing Di Qing's strange expression, Han Bin was also a little surprised.

"No, please continue." Di Qing waved his hand.

Han Bin nodded, without thinking too much, and continued: "Being surrounded by Cheng Tai and his men, that old man must be trying to rob his fellow thieves, but we are not vegetarians. This time, in order to prevent any accidents, dozens of us brothers brought enough ammunition when we went there."

"Later, Cheng Tai, that old fellow, probably realized that we were not easy to mess with, so he proposed to get involved in our business and cooperate with us."

"But I didn't rush to agree to it. I just said I'd think about it. As long as there's no problem with the line there, I can just bring two ships of cargo to him next time to test the waters."

"Then the old guy started to curry favor with us, treating us to meals and drinks every day, and arranging all kinds of high-end hotels."

"But this old guy is not a good guy either. He finds out the news about Hong Kong Island and asks about our origins in various ways every day. But I am not a rich man, so how can I be led by him by the nose?"

Han Bin sneered and said, "No matter how he arranges it, we just eat what we should eat and play what we should play. I don't bother to care about other things."

"On the contrary, it was Shengfan, that bastard. He was so confused by the fact that people just randomly arranged two girls for him that he leaked a lot of information to Cheng Tai. He almost agreed on his own initiative to leave out the other Jinhai bosses and only cooperate with the Jiangong Group in the future. If I hadn't discovered it quickly, this bastard would have ruined everything!"

As Han Bin spoke, he glared at the savages who were eating and drinking.

The savage not only did not realize the seriousness of the matter, but said excitedly: "No, Brother Bin, those two mainland girls are really hot, especially the short-haired girl, she is very good at sex, she has a move called 'hold you tightly', she almost sucked me dry..."

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Han Bin's face turned dark and he slapped him on the back of the head.

The savage immediately covered his head with a look of grievance.

Di Qing sighed helplessly, looked at Shengfan and said, "Shengfan, you have to remember what Brother Bin said. After all, our smuggling business is not open to the public, and that Jiangong Group is obviously taking the H road in Jinhai."

"And the H Dao has its own rules. If you let it slip that you promised him something and he catches you, then our business in Jinhai will be decided by the Jiangong Group. Whatever they say will be final. How can we survive?"

The savage also reacted after hearing what he said. He immediately slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Damn it, I see. Cheng Tai, that old bastard, actually dared to use the beauty trap to trick me and attack my weak spot. He is really too insidious!"

Everyone's mouth twitched and they were too lazy to pay attention to this idiot.

It’s such an obvious plan, and you’ve only just realized it now?
It's really hopeless.

Shaking his head, Di Qing looked at Han Bin and said, "Brother Bin, please continue."

Han Bin nodded and continued, "After this incident, I started to be wary of that old guy. I originally planned to come back after the bosses in Jinhai prepared the goods I wanted, but I didn't expect another accident to happen."

"These bosses in Jinhai were introduced by a boss named Xu Jiang who worked with me in the arms smuggling business. He also took the H road in Jinhai. He opened the largest nightclub in Jinhai, Buckingham. He also opened several battlefields and engaged in the construction industry. He has been doing well in Jinhai in recent years."

"After hearing that Cheng Tai had intercepted my goods and was planning to steal the business of those bosses and cooperate with me, Xu Jiang brought people to my door and had a fight with a battlefield boss named Bai Jinbo under Cheng Tai."

"It was a big deal. Later, even the police from Jinhai came to our door..."

Hearing this, Di Qing frowned and said, "You guys also provoked the police from the mainland? Nothing happened, right?"

"No!" The savage stood up and boasted, "Brother Qing, you don't know that after those mainland police found out that we are Hong Kong businessmen, they thought we were going to invest in Jinhai. They all treated us like ancestors and were so polite to us!"

Di Qing was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you sneak over there? Do the mainland police still regard you as Hong Kong businessmen?"

Han Bin looked at the savage helplessly, motioning him to shut up and eat, then looked at Di Qing and explained, "Old man Cheng Tai has some power in Jinhai. In order to curry favor with me, he helped us find connections to solve the identity problem and obtained the identities of several Hong Kong businessmen."

"So that's how it is." Di Qing suddenly realized.

Han Bin continued, "Although what Shengfan said is a bit exaggerated, the situation is similar."

"Although the mainland has developed well in recent years, it is nothing compared to Hong Kong Island. There is a lack of investment everywhere."

"After the government in Jinhai knew our identities, they were very polite to us and hoped that we would invest in Jinhai. However, I did not agree to their proposal and only said that I would consider it."

"Later, the people from the Public Security Bureau reminded me to stay away from Cheng Tai, Xu Jiang and the others. Apparently, they knew the identities of Cheng Tai and the others."

Di Qing nodded and asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, Cheng Tai and Xu Jiang must have reached an agreement and agreed to cooperate and share our smuggling route."

Han Bin said: "Xu Jiang later found me and said that he also wanted to get involved in this business, and he also guaranteed that no matter what goods we wanted, they could get them for us."

"But if we do that, ten boats won't be enough, so I didn't rush to agree to their request. I just said I'll come back and ask for your opinion, Qing, and then give them a reply."

Di Qing nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

He also didn't expect that Han Bin's trip to Jinhai would actually bring out all the gangsters in Jinhai.

Cheng Tai, Xu Jiang, Bai Jinbo...

Are they all rushing to get on board with me?
"Ah Qing, after listening to what Ah Bin said, these guys in Jinhai are not easy to mess with. If you cooperate with them, there might be problems in the future. Moreover, they are being targeted by the police in Jinhai. It is also very risky to get involved with them!"

The prince said in a deep voice: "Now that Abin and the others are familiar with the situation in Jinhai, I think it is better to leave them alone and find new buyers. I can purchase and sell the goods myself in the future!"

Di Qing came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "This is unrealistic."

"As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. As long as we want the Jinhai line, we can't get around them."

"Moreover, in this business, you must have a contact person on the other side, otherwise something might go wrong before the goods are sold."

"The security situation in the mainland is much worse than that in Hong Kong Island. We are able to make a living in Hong Kong Island, but we may not be able to make a living there."

"So, Aqing, what you mean is that you agree to cooperate with them?" Han Bin nodded and asked.

Di Qing pondered for a moment and said, "You contact them first. Next time, send two ships of goods to them. I will go with you and see what happens."

"Row."

Han Bin nodded and said, "But in this case, ten ships are not enough. The goods I brought over last time were just enough for the bosses that Xu Jiang introduced to me. Now if I want to supply them to Cheng Tai and Xu Jiang, I will need at least ten more ships."

"No!"

Di Qing waved his hand and said, "Ten boats are enough, no more."

"Most of the materials in Hong Kong are now supplied by the mainland. They are shipped by regular sea freight, but we are shady. If we become too big and grab too much market share, we will be targeted sooner or later, and then something bad will definitely happen."

"Besides, there are ten ships carrying goods in Jinhai, so two or three trips a month is enough. Otherwise, there will be too much smuggled goods in the market, and something will happen sooner or later."

"It's not that we don't want to make money, but we have to make money while also considering safety. We would rather make less money than have anything go wrong."

Han Bin suddenly realized: "Ah Qing, you are really thoughtful."

"Brother Qing, if you only do business with ten ships and only make two or three trips a month, you won't make much in the end!" the savage muttered.

This is because the number of runs per month is too few.

Di Qing smiled and said, "I didn't say we would only do one business. Currently, our smuggling business has just started its pilot program, and even the Tianjin-Haikou line is not stable yet. We will definitely not make much money."

"But as long as Jinhai is stable, we can start running other routes. We already have people who have established a foothold in Thailand, and the smuggling routes of Liansheng can also be shared with us. In total, we have at least a dozen routes to run."

"As long as we open up all these routes, with ten ships on each route and two or three trips per month, you will still have trouble making money then, right?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened.

The savage immediately became excited: "If we can really run so many lines every month, we can make a lot of money. Brother Qing, you know a lot!"

"Nonsense, how else do you think Ah Qing built such a big group?" Han Bin rolled his eyes and said, "From now on, you just need to listen carefully to what Ah Qing says. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. With your brain, what good ideas can you come up with?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Bing is right."

The savage smiled and promised: "From now on, I will do whatever Brother Qing tells me to do. If Brother Qing tells me to go east, I will never go west. If Qing tells me to chase away dogs, I will never chase away chickens!"

"Oh? You went to the mainland and learned a lot about its culture? You've made great progress, you wild man!" Di Qing teased.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

After some casual chatting, Di Qing waved his hand and said seriously, "Okay, let's get down to business."

Di Qing looked at Han Bin and asked, "Brother Bin, what goods did you bring back from your trip to the inland this time?"
