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

Chapter 45: The Rise of Liang Kun [Three updates, please read and recommend]

"Qingzai, A'long, do you two really regard me as your boss?"

Liang Kun said with a gloomy expression.

Feilong remained silent. He didn't know what to say, mainly because he didn't expect tonight to turn out like this.

Di Qing walked forward, looked at Liang Kun and said, "Brother Kun, Brother Feilong and I treat you as our boss, and we don't want you to go the wrong way."

Liang Kun said with an unpleasant expression: "So, you are being so disrespectful to me tonight, is it for my own good?"

"It's for your own good!"

Di Qing said seriously: "Brother Kun, I know very well how you treated me after I joined Hongxing. It is because you are good to me that I really regard you as a big boss. Listen to my advice, there is really no benefit in doing flour business."

At this time, Feilong came back to his senses and stepped forward and said, "Brother Kun, Qingzi is right. We don't want you to get deeper and deeper into trouble because we regard you as a big boss. Think about it, how many people in the flour business in Hong Kong Island can have a good ending?"

"If you're lucky, you'll get a police car. If you're unlucky, you'll get a hearse."

"Which of the brothers, Bo Hao and Ma, did not run a big business back then?"

"What about now? Some are running away, some are working in the kiln."

"Qingzai and I don't want you, Brother Kun, to end up like this!"

After hearing what Feilong said, Liang Kun's expression eased a little.

"call……"

He took a long breath, sat back in his seat, and said in a deep voice: "If there is a choice, do you think I want to do this, Boss?"

Feilong frowned and said, "Brother Kun, you are the boss, so you should earn a lot every year, right? Are you still short of money?"

Liang Kun sneered, "How much money can you make as a regional leader? There are only a few places, and you have to pay the money to the society on time every month. You have to support so many subordinates. If something happens, you have to pay a lot of medical expenses, resettlement fees, and bail... If you can save a few million a year, you are considered lucky."

"Brother Kun, isn't it enough for you to earn several million a year?" Feilong found it a little unbelievable.

In Hong Kong Island today, earning a few million dollars a year already makes you an upper-class member of society, right?
Liang Kun snorted coldly: "Of course it's enough for you to earn several million a year, but not for me!"

"I started to get involved in gangs when I was 16, from being a gangster in Lam Tin to being a gangster in Mong Kok. Who knows how much I have suffered except myself?"

"I was promoted to 49 after I killed the big circle in Lam Tin in 1978. It was not until 1983 when I killed the Sha Pei and took back the fish market in Aberdeen that I was rewarded for my merits. In 1985, I went to Tsim Sha Tsui East and killed Chen Qi. As a result, I spent three years in prison. After three years of hard work, I finally became the boss of Mong Kok."

"At that time, I had no money and no connections. None of the twelve leaders of Hongxing looked up to me, Liang Kun!"

"I have been the boss for less than three years. It sounds powerful, but in reality I have nothing. If I don't do the flour business, what else can I do?"

"Why can other bigwigs drive luxury cars and live in luxury houses, but I can only drive a Mazda and live in a shabby house of a few hundred feet?"

"So I swear, since I have chosen this line of work, I must keep climbing up!"

"What's the point of just envying others? I want to be richer than them!"

"I also want to drive a Mercedes-Benz, a Rolls-Royce, live in a thousand-foot mansion, and a big villa on the bay!"

Looking at Liang Kun recounting his story of making a fortune with a ferocious expression on his face, Di Qing and Feilong looked at each other in bewilderment.

They wanted to comfort him, but they just couldn't empathize with him and instead wanted to beat him up.

Damn, you are the one in charge, and earning millions every year is not enough. Have you ever considered other people’s feelings?
To put it simply, in Liang Kun's case, he is too ambitious and always feels that the money he earns is not enough, so he wants to keep climbing up the ladder and ends up going into the flour business.

A moment of silence.

Di Qing stepped forward and said, "Brother Kun, if you want to make money, there is no need to do the flour business. Even if you make money, it is all dirty money and you can't use it openly. It will cost a lot to launder the money, and you might even be caught by the police. Then you will lose everything."

Liang Kun snorted coldly: "Then tell me, what business can make more money than making flour?"

"Of course it's a legitimate business!"

Di Qing said, "Look at the famous wealthy people in Hong Kong now. Which one of them is in the flour business? They are either in industry, trade, real estate, or finance... For example, those who play stocks, they can play for a few days, but it is equivalent to what you, Brother Kun, do for a lifetime!"

"Do I need you to tell me all this?"

Liang Kun said unhappily, "I haven't even graduated from elementary school yet, if I could do this, I would have done it long ago!"

Di Qing shook his head: "Brother Kun, you might as well change your mindset. You are the boss now, do you still have to do things yourself?"

"If you can't do it, you can find someone who can do it for you? You just need to provide the money and the people, take charge of the overall situation, and then sit back and wait to get paid."

Liang Kun frowned: "Where the hell can I find such talent?"

"That's Brother Feilong!"

Di Qing turned to look at Feilong: "Brother Feilong has been thinking about doing business recently, but he has no capital. Brother Kun, if you believe me, you can cooperate with Brother Feilong. It will definitely make more money than your current flour business, and you don't have to worry about being caught by the police."

Liang Kun looked at Fei Long suspiciously: "Is it true?"

Feilong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Brother Kun, I have indeed been considering doing a trading business recently, and according to my judgment, the chances of making money are very high."

"Forget it then!"

Liang Kun shook his head and said, "I finally saved some money, I don't want to lose it all."

Di Qing was speechless.

Damn, you want to make money but don't want to take any risks! How can it be that easy in the world?
After thinking for a while, Di Qing continued: "In this case, let's call you when we are sure we can make money."

"But no matter what, Brother Kun, you really should stop doing the flour business. It's almost 1997, and Hong Kong will be returned to China in a few years. Brother Kun, your flour business should be cooperating with mainlanders, so you should know how strict the mainland's inspections are in this regard."

"And it's not just flour that's being investigated. After the return, being involved in the underworld is basically a sunset industry. In the end, you either have to emigrate or clean up your name to have a way out!"

Hearing this, Liang Kun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know what you mean, Qingzai, but this is not something that can be done without any hesitation. And you just said that after the return, joining a gang and selling flour will be a sunset industry. If I don't make more money now, what will I eat in the future?"

Damn, you really are good at learning from others' experience!

Di Qing said helplessly: "Brother Kun, even if you do it now, there is still the risk of being swept away, and even if you don't do the flour business, you can do other things to make money. There is no need to take this risk!"

Liang Kun frowned and said, "Tell me, what else can I do?"

"We support you to be the one in charge!" Di Qing said in a deep voice.

Feilong was shocked. How could he say such a thing?
Liang Kun's expression also changed slightly, and he frowned and asked, "How do you know I want to be the boss?"

Di Qing was speechless. It’s almost written on your face, okay?

Shaking his head, Di Qing said, "Brother Kun, as long as you become the boss, not only will you get more money every month, you can also do the club's business, and you can also use your status as the leader of the club to do more business. By then, the money you make will definitely not be less than what you are doing now in the flour business."

"I know this, but being a host isn't that easy."

Liang Kun shook his head and said, "Hongxing was founded by the Jiang family. I am not a member of the Jiang family. Even if Jiang Tiansheng died, he still has a younger brother in Thailand. It is not my turn."

"Just because the Chiang family founded it doesn't mean Hongxing belongs to the Chiang family!"

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "And didn't you just say, Brother Kun, that whoever has the ability will have the final say?"

"Everyone has seen how much you have done for the community over the years. You also have good relationships with most of the regional leaders. As long as someone supports you, I don't believe Jiang Tiansheng would dare to object."

Seeing that Liang Kun was about to give in, Fei Long quickly nodded and said, "Qing Zai is right, Brother Kun, if Jiang Tiansheng doesn't give up his position, I will help you get rid of him!"

"I'm going to Thailand and killing Jiang Tianyang too!" Di Qing added.

"..."

Liang Kun was speechless, but for a moment he was actually tempted.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, if I can really become the boss, I will listen to you and will not do the flour business anymore."

Feilong and Di Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t easy, I finally persuaded the boss to return to the ‘right path’!

Most of what Di Qing said to Liang Kun just now was indeed sincere.

No matter how bad Liang Kun was, at least compared to that bastard Gao Zongyang, Liang Kun treated him much better. Di Qing would rather arrest him and put him in jail than watch him fail like in the movies.

Moreover, now that he has finally established a foothold in Hongxing, Di Qing does not want his backer to fall so soon. After all, he still has to rely on Liang Kun to complete the task.

"Brother Kun, since we've reached an agreement, we'll leave first. I'm sorry for what happened tonight." Feilong stood up and toasted.

Liang Kun waved his hands: "No hurry, I will deal with Shameng and Babi, but you guys were really powerful tonight, you didn't give me any face at all!"

"Especially you, Qingzai!"

Liang Kun looked at Di Qing unhappily and said, "You're playing with a gun in front of the boss? Where did you get that gun?"

Di Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "It's because I don't want anything to happen to you, Brother Kun."

"Stop talking nonsense. Where did you get your gun?"

"Brother Kun, it's a toy gun. I bought it just to scare people."

"Do you think I'm crazy? I can't tell a real gun from a fake one?"

Liang Kun stretched out his hand and said unhappily, "Let me see it!"

Di Qing quickly shook his head: "Brother Kun, I bought this for self-defense. Didn't you say you were afraid that Ding Yixie would retaliate against me? I bought this just in case!"

"You bastard!"

The corner of Liang Kun's mouth twitched, but he didn't embarrass him anymore. He shook his head and said, "Anyway, you better be careful. The police are very strict about this stuff. It will be troublesome if they find out."

"Don't worry, Brother Kun. My origins are very legitimate and it won't be easy for them to find out." Di Qing said with a smile.

Liang Kun nodded and said nothing more, then looked at Fei Long: "Ah Long, although tonight's event failed, the boss won't bother you. I'm still going to let you be the boss in Yau Ma Tei. I'll talk to Shameng and the others, and we'll start when Vietnam helps unblock those places. When the time comes, you can go over and plant the flag, and I'll send people to help you."

Di Qing also said: "It's not bad for Brother Feilong to take the position, so that when the leader is selected, Brother Feilong can vote for Brother Kun."

Feilong was also somewhat moved when he heard this. He did not refuse anymore and nodded, saying, "Okay, Brother Kun, I'll listen to you."

Liang Kun nodded with satisfaction, and turned to look at Di Qing: "And you, Qingzi, if this matter is done well, you and Feilong will work together, he will be the boss, and you will be promoted to the Red Stick."

"Although you have not been in Hongxing for long, your ability and fame are enough to get you a job. When the time comes, I will talk to the leaders in other regions and let them hire you."

Is there really a share for me?
Di Qing was delighted and said quickly, "Thank you, Brother Kun!"
