Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 26: People are greedy

Jizai sat in the rocking chair, his eyebrows raised and his teeth grinding.

Sitting opposite him was the landlord, who was counting bills one by one. He was so angry that he wanted to explode, but then he remembered that the boxing gym already owed three months' rent.

Without money, you’re half a head shorter!
However, the landlord gave it a three-month reprieve for the sake of big boss Robin, which was very loyal in today's world. The landlord could only be angry with himself.

"Uncle Huang, I'm sorry for this time. I won't do it again next time."

"This is the rent for this year. I have something to do recently. When I am free, I will treat you to some old wine, Uncle Huang."

After seeing the landlord counted the money, he signed the lease contract. Ji Zai also picked up a pen and wrote his name on the document. Then he called on his men to send the signed lease contract to a familiar lawyer to handle the subsequent notarization procedures.

Hong Kong's commercial leasing market is already very mature. The foreigners in the Department of Justice have even published a standard contract for the convenience of both parties to the lease.

"You're welcome. We are old acquaintances. Robin has gone to study, but our friendship remains."

"Brother Jizai, please go ahead and do your work. If you have anything to do, torture me."

The landlord took the money, said a few polite words to the chicken, then turned and left the boxing gym.

When Jizai saw that the landlord had left, he stood up, put on his boxing gloves, went to the ring, and asked the boxer who was in training to spar with him. Because he was very angry, he showed no mercy and knocked the boxer to the ground in just one round.

"Useless! Useless!"

"How are you going to play the game with just these two moves, you idiot!"

The anger in Jizai's heart dissipated after he threw the two punches. He pulled up the boxer on the ground, cursed a few words, then took off his gloves and jumped off the ring.

Hei Ah Hu brought a few people into the boxing gym, sat on a chair, took out a cigarette and threw one to the angry Ji Zai.

"Mantis said his sister was getting married and he couldn't get away. Tony was willing to come, but he had to pay the appearance fee first. Five hundred dollars per person, not a penny less. He also had to pay the resettlement fee, one thousand dollars per person."

"I've already agreed to let Tony bring ten people over so we can settle the accounts."

"The planes are willing to come and help, and the trains will come too."

Hei Ah Hu was not good at talking to begin with, so after he finished explaining the situation, he lowered his head to smoke and stopped talking.

Jizai's brows frowned even more tightly. Not only were they half the staff short, but their expenses also doubled. On weekdays, they were all good brothers after drinking, but once they got down to business, they either acted like a spoiled brat or acted like a spoiled brat. No one showed any loyalty.

"Including the brothers in the boxing gym, there are at most 30 people. If it weren't for the soldiers borrowed from Handsome Sheng, we wouldn't be able to take down many places."

"Lao Fu has at least two or three hundred brothers in Yau Tsim Mong. I don't know if we can handle it with just these soldiers?!"

Ji Zai calculated and felt that he did not have enough manpower, but there was no better solution. Most of the money had already been spent. The rent of the boxing gym was 50,000 yuan per year, and he gave a 30% discount because of the old relationship.

There is 30,000 yuan that cannot be touched. This is the clinic's consultation fee. 50,000 yuan must be set aside for bail. The remaining 40,000 yuan is not only needed to recruit people, but also to prepare the equipment for the big film.

The housing estate soldiers are cheap, but they have poor fighting power. They can fight in favorable situations, but once they cannot win, they are the first to run away. We must have the "49-year-old" knifemen as the vanguard to open up the situation.

No matter what field you are in, talent is valuable! "Chicken, why don't we go to the Crab and ask for money? If we win tonight, we'll turn the tables. If we don't win, we'll run away and be completely finished. The affairs of Hong Kong have nothing to do with us two brothers."

"If you don't want to run away, you can go to Kowloon Walled City and fight underworld boxing. If you can hold on for a few years, you can turn things around."

"I know a few big guys who are ruthless and cheap."

"Handsome Sheng, this stinky guy is unreliable. He only wants us brothers to be his cannon."

Although Hei Ah Hu is usually taciturn, it doesn't mean he is blind. He knows everything.

There's a big movie coming out tonight, and whether they want to be the male lead or not, they have to be. The gang has prepared everything for you, waiting for you two brothers to go on stage and perform. If you back off at this time, there's nothing else for the others to think about, because the head of the gang won't agree.

The lightest punishment is to kick you out of the group. The score on your head cannot be reduced by even a point. At that time, there is no hope of transferring to other groups, because other groups will not accept weaklings.

Handsome Sheng didn't leave any way out for the two brothers.

"Borrowing Lao Fu's money to clean up Lao Fu's place, Ah Hu, you are really amazing."

"We won the fight, and used the water from Lao Fu's field to pay it back. Beautiful."

"You go find the Crab and use the boxing gym as collateral. I'll go find Uncle Dafei and ask him to lend me some soldiers."

Jizai was stunned by his good brother's cleverness, but on second thought, borrowing Lao Fu's money to sweep Lao Fu's place was indeed a feasible method. The agreed time for sweeping the place was 6:30, and there were still a few hours left. He continued to borrow troops and get enough manpower.

With such a big scene, they only cleaned two areas. What a joke!
The two crappy bars were not enough for the two brothers to share.

Since he was going to do it, he had to do it thoroughly. He wanted to clean up all of Lao Fu’s seven venues in Temple Street.

Hei Ah Hu nodded, and took two of his men to ask Guili Xie to raise the debt. Ji Zai picked up the phone and called Da Fei, the boss of the Shuifang branch in Tseung Kwan O, to borrow troops.

Chi Mengli, the instigator, had no idea that his two henchmen were going to make a big deal out of it. He and Bo Xidong came to Hengcheng Building in Yau Ma Tei, a newly built building that was both commercial and residential. It had not many tenants and very few residents.

There are fewer tenants and residents, so the rent is also cheaper.

The annual rent for a 45-square-meter independent office area is only HK$30,000, with a one-month renovation period and a 50% discount on property fees.

The conditions are very favorable. In fact, no major renovation is required. Just build a few partitions, buy some second-hand office desks and chairs, and order two plaques, and then you can start work.

Chi Mengli immediately decided to rent the office, signed the contract, and paid the rent in front of the lawyer. Everything was settled within half an hour. However, he was also cautious because Yau Ma Tei is a Feng Shui treasure land and the rent will definitely increase in the future.

He added a clause to the contract that if the lease was renewed normally, the rent increase could not exceed five percent during the contract period, and he had priority in renting.

In order to meet performance targets, the property investment manager of Hengcheng Building pretended not to notice and signed and stamped directly on behalf of the building.
