Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 21: Planting the Flag (Part 21)
Chi Mengli originally thought that it would take some time to raise the amount from the beginning of the character, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth. He said "Thank you, Lao Ding!" and hung up the phone.

"Chicken, within half an hour, the two hundred thousand you asked for will be delivered to Tuodi."

"Before you get the money, I can think that everything you said was crazy, but after you get the money, you can't handle it. You know what the boss will do. This start-up capital will also fall on your brothers' heads."

"Think it over carefully."

Chi Mengli took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it. After exhaling a puff of smoke, he spoke slowly.

Ji Zai and Hei Ahu did not expect that Chi Mengli could raise a sum of money from the name so easily and could have a direct conversation with Lao Ding. This was a big surprise to the two of them. They had to re-evaluate the weight of Liang Zai Sheng in the name.

"Don't worry, Brother Sheng, we'll pay you and plant the flag securely for you, and make sure you can find water."

Although Jizai still spoke in a sarcastic tone, he surrendered in disguise and acknowledged Chi Mengli as his boss.

But in Chi Mengli's eyes, this was not true loyalty, but a kind of cooperation, and he did not really regard these two brainless idiots as his subordinates.

The reason why Shenxianjin gave the money readily was because he saw that he was willing to stand up and serve as a bastion. Similarly, Chi Mengli also regarded Jizai and Hei Ahu as bastions to protect himself from wind and rain.

If they were able to survive, it would be a blessing from their ancestors' graves. If they couldn't survive, they would go to the underworld to sell salted duck eggs, and they can only blame their ancestors for not being virtuous and not blessing them.

The person who delivered the money was Shezai Ming. He said hello to Chi Mengli, the boss, put a bulging brown paper file bag on the desk, then turned and left without even saying hello to Jizai and Hei Ahu. Instead, he greeted Bocaidong.

So what if you can fight? When you are out there in the underworld, the most important thing is to have power. Otherwise, no matter how good you are at fighting, you are just a small bastard.

Chi Mengli opened the file bag, did a quick count, then took out thirty thousand yuan and threw it to Jimmy: "Jimmy, blow the whistle to call the people. There are fifty people. If one is missing, you will be held responsible."

Jimmy took the money, put it directly into his pocket, and nodded without hesitation.

"The remaining 170,000 yuan, Ji Zai and Ah Hu, you take the money. 170,000 yuan is enough to get back two places. This is a sky-high price. There will be no such good thing in the future."

"This amount will be added to the monthly payment."

"I wish you two brothers great wealth and prosperity."

Chi Mengli put the money back into the briefcase and threw it to Jizai, saying auspicious words.

"Boss, I know."

"I won't bother you guys with your beer. We still have work to do tomorrow night."

Jizai picked up the briefcase, said something sarcastic, and left with Hei Ah Hu.

Jimmy looked at the two people who walked out thoughtfully, but still said nothing and just closed the office door.

"Jimmy, you are Adong's cousin, we are family, let me test you, can these two guys take back the place they lost?"

Chi Mengli lit another cigarette and looked at Jimmy standing at the door.

Jimmy first glanced at Bocaidong, but when he saw that his cousin was heartlessly crossing his legs and drinking beer one sip after another, he sighed and said, "Brother Sheng, it's not a big problem for fifty people to clean up the two places, because everyone is here to make money."

“But we may not be able to hold it.”

A street kid who lives in a housing estate and can make simple analysis is considered a talent. He is also good at fighting and kicking, and he was the one who dealt with Mickey Bear.

"Adong, gather the brothers together. Tomorrow night when Jizi and Hei Ahu start fighting, take people to clean up Dakouya's place. I have figured it out. Even if we don't cause trouble for Donglianshe, that stinky Dakouya won't let us go." 'Jimmy, don't send all 50 people up. Let Jizi's people go first.'

"If your cousin takes action, you can send troops over to help us clean up the big-mouthed duck's place."

"Okay, Jimmy, we have a lot of work to do tomorrow. This is your first job. I wish you success in advance. If you feel lonely at night, you can go to the stable."

Chi Mengli took the cigarette out of his mouth, put it into the ashtray, and let Jimmy go to rest.

Jimmy nodded, walked out of the office and went to sleep in the dormitory next door. It was already late and there was no late tram. He had to hurry and sleep because he had to go back to Shau Kei Wan and Kwun Tong early the next morning to find some brave brothers.

The guys in the housing estates are afraid of everything except fighting and killing people.

When Chi Mengli saw Jimmy walk out of the door, he picked up the disposable lighter on the table and threw it at Bocaidong, cursing, "You idiot, keep an eye on your cousin and tell him not to hit too hard."

"I know!"

Bo Xidong put the disposable lighter into his pocket, as he happened to be short of one.

Seeing that his trusted henchman was unmoved, Chi Mengli shook his head helplessly and turned on the radio, which happened to be playing Cantonese opera.

"The King of Hell sent a ticket to take your soul away, and the cold room became a guillotine."

"Impermanence rides on the dark wind at midnight, and in the blink of an eye, the scholar is buried in the sea of ​​blood."

After staying at Hongsheng Bird House until midnight, Chi Mengli was almost sober. She put the account book in the drawer of her desk and locked it. Then she and Bo Xidong drove Mickey Bear's newly bought car back to Shau Kei Wan.

"Brother Sheng, you already have a car, do you want to buy another one?"

Bocaidong remembered that he still had 30,000 yuan in cash on him, and now that the boss already had a car, there was no need to buy another one, and then he handed the three stacks of bills to Chi Mengli.

"Money should make money, why buy so many cars? It's just showing off!"

"Now, if you apply for a route from the Transportation Department, you only need 3,000 yuan. A red van is only 12,000 yuan. For 30,000 yuan, you can buy two."

"When you go out to do something, you can use the van at Queguan."

"Adong, please pay more attention to the streets. You can touch anything in the place except Miss Bai (powder). If you touch Miss Bai, you must tell me and I will chase them out."

"My dead friend is inhumane!"

Chi Mengli put the money into his pocket and thought about applying for a minibus route from Shau Kei Wan to Yau Tsim Mong. The starting fare was two dollars, and one dollar per stop. According to the rules of the bus association, it would go through the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel and travel between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Each trip would take 40 minutes.

There are morning and evening shifts, two drivers and two ticket sellers, and they can make twenty-four trips back and forth.

Of course, the minibuses in Hong Kong are now chartered. You have to pay a fee of NT$300 per day, and the rest is not covered. The chartered drivers even have to pay for their own traffic insurance.

This is a very worry-free method.

Chi Mengli only needs to keep 20,000 yuan, and the rest can be used to buy a minibus. You should know that since the 1980s, the route application fee for minibuses has increased three times.

Taking advantage of the low route application fees now, I started my own minibus company and occupied more routes.
