Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 20: Planting the Flag

When Jizai and Hei Ahu heard what Chi Mengli said, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

What Handsome Sheng said was the truth. Boss Robin was good to them brothers, but it was also true that they had never had a chance to make a name for themselves.

Every month Robin would give them three to four thousand yuan as a resettlement allowance. This amount of money was indeed more than what white-collar workers in office buildings in Central earned, but the price of a tenement building in Hong Kong Island had risen to seventy or eighty thousand yuan now. The amount of money they had was not enough to buy a housing estate unit.

The two of them were the most popular thugs in Yau Ma Tei, so they couldn't be shabby and couldn't buy fake goods. If that got out, people would laugh at them, so they barely had any rice left in a month.

Let me tell you something that every street thug knows: as long as you have a place to hang out, you will have a way to make money. Ji Zai and Hei Ah Hu were both tempted by Chi Mengli's few words.

Seeing that Ji Zai and Hei Ah Hu were both silent, Chi Mengli continued to increase his verbal offensive: "The boss has his own considerations, but Lianhua joined the company a year later than you. In terms of skills, ten Lianhuas can't compare to him, but the boss just likes Lianhua and likes to support Lianhua."

"Within one or two years of Lianhua, he became the boss's top horse and took over several venues in a row. On his birthday, the boss directly gave him a Jensen Interceptor Mark III. The boss is really generous. Even a water truck would cost 70,000 or 80,000 yuan."

"What about us? We didn't get a penny."

"There's plenty of money in Yau Ma Tei. It just depends on whether you two dare to take the risk!"

"I still say that. I am the boss of the Yau Ma Tei gang. If you have any ideas, I and the gang will support you to the end."

"A drink?"

Chi Mengli tried to sow discord, then held up the wine glass, looked at Jizai and Hei Ahu, waiting for their answer.

Jizai glanced at Hei Ah Hu, and seeing that his good brother nodded in agreement, he raised his glass without saying a word. Both of them raised their glasses and clinked them with Chi Mengli.

People in the underworld come together for profit and disperse because of profit. What kind of loyalty and righteousness is that?

After talking about the serious matters, everyone started to eat the delicious food in front of them. Chi Mengli had been busy all day and was already hungry, so he picked up a piece of roasted nanzai and put it in his mouth to start enjoying his dinner.

The meal lasted an hour. These guys from the housing estate were really good drinkers. They drank four cartons of Heineken, and their faces looked like monkey butts.

Chi Mengli asked Bo Xidong to open the briefcase he was carrying and took out a thick stack of envelopes. The money was 500 yuan each for Lao Sijiu and the gang of housing estate guys, and 200 yuan each for Jimmy.

There were four more heavyweight envelopes in the briefcase, each containing two thousand dollars in bills.

Chi Mengli first distributed money to Jimmy and other housing estate guys, giving each person an envelope so that everyone could get a share. Then he gave money to Drunk Dragon and his gang of idiots, and finally to Jizai and Hei Ah Hu.

"Brothers, Adong has booked two stables for you. A'long, Anan, and Rocky, you can take everyone out to have fun. I'll pay for tonight's consumption."

"Everyone, have a good time!"

"Ji Zai, Ah Hu, it's still early, come to my office and have a cup of tea and have a good chat."

After Chi Mengli paid the money, he asked Lanzuilong and the others to take the guys from the housing estate to Malan to have fun. An hour in Malan only cost twenty dollars. Sometimes young and beautiful bodies are damn worthless.

Twenty yuan can’t even buy two pounds of pork, but it can get a young girl to play poker with you.

"Thank you, Brother Sheng."

The guys in the housing estate were drunk and were all excited at the thought of playing poker right away.

Chi Mengli nodded, then led the way downstairs. The restaurant manager came up to them with a smile, flattering them, "Congratulations, Brother Sheng, you have succeeded in getting the job. I hope you will take care of our business in the future."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

"No need to give me the change. The rest is a tip." Chi Mengli took out three gold bulls from his pocket, slapped them on the front desk, and led his people out of Liji Restaurant.

The group was divided into two teams. One team, led by Lanzuilong, went to the stable that Bocaidong had set up. The rest of the group followed Chi Mengli back to the office of Hongsheng Queguan.

Chi Mengli distributed red envelopes to everyone, and also gave big red envelopes to Honggu and Liba who were watching the scene, as a way to win their hearts.

I am also very grateful for the red mushrooms and fences that received the red seal.

After winning people's hearts over, Chi Mengli and his team entered the office. Mickey Bear liked to drink beer but not tea. There was no tea set in the office, so each person could only have one bottle of beer.

"Chicken, Ah Hu, sit down."

"If I remember correctly, Deheng Disco and Shanghai Nightclub were originally our venues. After Lianhua took over, the venues were all returned to Lao Fu."

"What Lianhua did was a bit disloyal. The boss was the best to him before, but after the boss got into trouble, he didn't care about anything."

"Pounce on the street."

"Jimmy, can fifty people handle it?"

Chi Mengli just opened the beer but didn't drink it. He sat in the boss chair and looked at Jimmy.

Jimmy nodded affirmatively and said, "Boss, we can do it. Fifty or a hundred people can do it."

"Ji Zai, Ah Hu, I'll lend you 50 brave warriors. You've been quiet for too long. You need to polish your reputation. You two are the worst guys in the water room. There's no doubt about that."

"I'll lend you the soldiers to help you establish your brand."

"I'll guarantee the amount you need with my clan name, but if you fail to plant the flag, there will be no second chance."

Chi Mengli has helped to get the manpower and money, and the rest depends on whether Ji Zai and Hei Ahu have the courage.

If these two most capable gangsters in Yau Ma Tei retreat, they will have no share in the business in the future.

Bo Xidong was sitting on a sofa near Chi Mengli. Upon hearing such reliable support, his dull brain started spinning rapidly. He wanted to speak several times and say that he could handle it, but his boss glared back at him and he dared not speak.

"Brother Sheng, if you have two hundred thousand, Ah Hu and I will go to Lao Fu's place tomorrow, and the business we get back will definitely account for half of the Tang."

Ji Zai thought about it and realized that there were still some people under his command who wanted to join him. Together with the fifty people led by Liang Zaisheng, it was indeed enough to set up a flag, but everyone knew that Liang Zaisheng was famous for shrinking back when faced with difficulties.

This time when the boss gave the order to do something, it stands to reason that Liangzai Sheng would have left, but surprisingly, this guy actually stepped up and actually managed to manage Hongtai.

But it is not enough to have only the thugs charging into battle, they also need to have sufficient silver banknotes to support them, otherwise the bail alone will be enough to make them suffer.

Must see cash!
"of course can."

Chi Mengli pointed at Bocaidong who was about to start scolding and told him to shut up. With his other hand, he picked up the phone, called Ruixing Queguan, and told Shenxianjin the whole story.

When Shenxianjin heard that the hall could be used as a guarantee, he readily agreed and asked Chi Mengli to send someone to collect the money.

This surprised Chi Mengli a little. She didn't expect Shenxian Jin to agree so readily.
