Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 334 111: The Second Test
"Many conservative people and families would choose to keep their money in the bank in the water house."

"Outside of Asia, fewer people know about He Liansheng. Even in the eyes of real criminals, He Liansheng's henchmen are just a group of parasites in the underworld."

"But in the criminal world, the water room is different. These top criminals need a stable and safe money house. They treat them as their lifeblood and must be protected well!"

"Your second test question has appeared, but there are two people taking the test, and you are one of them. The Haojiang Water Room is also part of the Water Room, and it is an indispensable part. After all, as long as the banknotes enter the mud code hall, everything will be fine."

"I am the boss of the Water House, not the boss of the Hong Kong Water House. The Macao branch, the North American branch, and the eight banks all call me the boss, so I must treat them all equally!"

"But this time you are the courier, the patrol horse. You will go and receive the goods yourself, pick them up, and deliver them to the silver furnace."

In early Hong Kong, the profession of delivering letters and goods was mainly called patrol horses. This name originated from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China period, and specifically referred to those private messengers who specialized in delivering silver letters, parcels, and even accompanying orphans and widows who migrated overseas to overseas Chinese, domestic overseas Chinese families and businessmen.

They travel between cities and towns by walking or carrying goods on their shoulders, and are particularly active in overseas Chinese hometowns such as Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou and Taishan.

The business of patrolling the city horses is passed down from grandfather to father, from father to son, and from son to grandson. There is no collateral, only conscience.

According to legend, the Wen family, a wealthy Hong Kong family, was doing fur business in Vladivostok. They encountered a major change. The shopkeeper in Vladivostok was beheaded by the Russians. The whole family was in danger in Vladivostok. The Wen family sent their eldest son and grandson, and found six patrol horses, plus the escort company, martial artists, and gunmen hired by the Wen family, a total of more than 20 people set out together.

From the south to the far north, the only one who survived was a patrol horse with one blind eye and two arms missing. He returned to Hong Kong carrying the six-year-old daughter of the Wen family's shopkeeper on his left shoulder and the head of the shopkeeper who was killed by the Russians on his right shoulder. He also brought back a photo album of the shopkeeper's family as proof.

It took three full years to walk from Vladivostok in the far north, through the turbulent Chinese land, and back to Hong Kong.

The head of the Wen family and the owner of a business under the Wen family knelt down to greet him. The owner's young daughter married into the Wen family and became the second daughter-in-law of the eldest son.

Gongsun Chujiu once asked Cheng Ying what was difficult.

Cheng Ying replied: Life is difficult, death is easy.

Gongsun Chujiu said: I don't have the ability of my brother, I can only die easily!
Chi Mengli recalled the two stories he knew in his mind. He was a little curious as to why the Shuifang was so shameless as to attribute the title of such a noble profession to itself!

How shameless!
Shenxian Jin is not the worm in Chi Mengli's stomach. He doesn't know what this bastard is complaining about. If he knew, he would definitely use his most powerful Hung Gar skills to let this loser know what a martial arts master is.

He opened the drawer, took out a pager, placed it on the table, and pushed it hard. The pager appeared right in front of the handsome Sheng.

“I check it every day, prepare the batteries, and wait for the pager message.”

"The information is encrypted. I don't know the content either. Only Uncle Gui knows. Uncle Gui will send someone to deliver the encrypted text."

"You are the patrol horse, and the other one is the pick, responsible for the safety of this transaction."

"If something goes wrong, Jie Zi will take action and kill everyone who knows about it, including you. Don't give your competitors any chance. If you complete the task perfectly, he will be out. If you are out, Jie Zi will take action and kill everyone."

"Do you know what Jie Zi Mi is?"

Shenxian Jin smiled and deliberately tested the handsome Sheng.

Although Chi Mengli was well versed in underworld slang, he was still not familiar with some of the lesser-known underworld jargons.

"A Jiezi is a policeman who specializes in escorting prisoners. In Water Margin, the instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards, Lin Chong, and the Tai Sui of the world, Wu Erlang, were escorted to exile by Jiezi after their crimes were exposed."

"Pay attention, don't let anyone kill you!"

"Okay! Don't you have an appointment? Go get busy!"

"If the person you're meeting is not important, you can also accompany an old man like me to drink Zhuangyuan Congee. The seafood just delivered from Lamma Island tastes very good, and it's not red oil seafood!"

Shenxianjin explained the situation to Chi Mengli and let this troublesome guy leave.

"I have arranged to meet with Senior Superintendent Guo Guohao to discuss how to eradicate evil!"

"I don't have an appetite for seafood. I'll talk about it when I have time."

Chi Mengli picked up the pager, stood up, pressed a few buttons casually, and found that it was still fully charged, so he put it in his pocket and told Guo Guohao the news of his meeting.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Get rid of evil, that's great! You have a bright future! When you get the Good Citizen Award, you must tell me, I will make a big plaque for you, and invite a team of dragon and tiger martial artists to perform dragon and lion dances for you to celebrate the birth of a good citizen in our water room!"

Hearing Chi Mengli's words, Shenxian Jin was so happy that he laughed out loud, and waved his hand to tell this joking boy to get out of here.

The world is hopeless now! No one believes the truth.

Chi Mengli sighed in his heart and walked out of Shenxianjin's office.

"Handsome guy is better than this loser. He is good in everything except his bad habit of bragging!"

It's not a big problem to talk nonsense about Young and Dangerous. James Wong once said on a TV show that variety shows are not working nowadays. If you want to be popular, find three or four Young and Dangerous guys, let them sit together and talk nonsense, tell stories about the underworld, and the ratings of every show will be guaranteed to be off the charts.

Shenxianjin complained in his heart, picked up the microphone, dialed an international phone number, and waited for the other party to take over.

"Which one?"

"Uncle Gui, I'm Ajin!"

Hearing Wen Gui's old voice, Shen Xian Jin quickly said, "Uncle Gui, the pager has been given to Ah Sheng."

"I have already explained everything that needs to be explained."

Wen Gui, who was on the other end of the phone, waved his hand and asked the nurse who was adjusting the equipment to leave. Seeing that there was no one in the room, he spoke, "This time, one patrol officer and one clerk will step down. Both are talented, but rules are rules."

"We in the Water Room abide by the rules, so these old relationships and old friends trust the Water Room and are willing to put their money and treasures that they don't need for the time being into the silver furnace."

"Next week, you come to Singapore in person and I will take you to meet the eight big shopkeepers. If I close my eyes, I may not be able to open them again. Now is the time for you to take over."

"Gao Laofa is your godson, are you really not going to give him this chance? It will take at least eight or nine years for the next position to be vacant. Of course, no one knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. Be prepared for someone to die tomorrow."

“If you think that you can do whatever you want after you get to the top by taking advantage of an old loser like me, then you have made a wrong calculation. When you take over this mess, you will understand what is going on!” Shenxianjin smiled. Gao Laofa is a gangster and can never be a gangster. He has watched this loser grow up and thinks he has made a good judgment. If it is not suitable, it is not suitable. There is no need to force it.

Thinking of this, he said, "I don't recommend Fa Zai because he is not suitable. I like rules. Although rules sometimes seem to get in the way, they are also a big umbrella of protection."

"If you want to make a living in the underworld and work in the docks, you must abide by the rules!"

Wen Gui has never followed the rules in his life, but he has also followed the rules all his life. He followed the rules of the underworld and violated the rules of the Hongmen family. He can still figure out which ones will result in death and which ones will not.

"Haha, it's good to follow the rules! We all have to follow the rules!"

Seeing that Wen Gui had nothing to say, Shenxianjin put the microphone back on the stand, looked at the scenery outside the window, and smoked his pipe silently.

Chi Mengli walked out of Ruixing Bird House and saw Dushe Ming joking with Xizi. A smile appeared on her face. Dushe Ming, this pouting guy, is a social expert. He is very outgoing and can always make friends quickly.

This is also an amazing real skill!

He walked to the side of Viper Ming, put his arm around Viper Ming's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Brother Xizi, you have to learn from Brother Ming. There are now a whole street of young girls in this Pujie, and they are all beautiful."

"Brother Ming, where have you made your fortune recently? Now the world is full of mythical stories about you, the venomous snake Ming, fighting against the big circle boy. You have survived a great disaster, and there will be good fortune in the future. The day after tomorrow night, I will invite Master Wang and you, Brother Snake, to drink wine for you to calm your nerves, and go to Shanghai City Nightclub to have fun."

Seeing that the person who put his arm around his shoulder was Handsome Sheng, Viper Ming took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to the old smoker beside him, and said with a smile: "It's just nonsense in the underworld. Brothers who know me, Viper Ming, everyone knows that I am the most timid."

"Asheng, you are awesome. Double flower red stick, it's been a long time since it came out."

"But I'm very happy that you calmed me down. Mr. Wang has recently become obsessed with greyhound racing, and I haven't seen him for a while. Mr. Wang is not a good gambler, and he asks me for inside information every day."

"I'm just a gangster, how can I get inside information? Even if I do know, I'm just lying."

"To be honest, Master Wang is still not happy. I have no choice but to buy horse racing books every day to read what the commentators say, and then relay it to Master Wang verbatim."

When talking about Young Master Wang, Dushe Ming also had a miserable look on his face. He recited comments every day and worked harder than when he was in school.

Chi Mengli had also heard that Young Master Wang wanted to open a dog stable, but if he wanted to run a formal dog racing in Hong Kong, he would need to get the Jockey Club to do it. Not only Young Master Wang couldn't do it, even Young Master Wang's father couldn't do it.

So we had to settle for the next best thing and build a kennel in Happy Valley, and then build a horse stable after it reaches a certain scale.

This is not a rare thing in Hong Kong. Jardine Matheson, HSBC, Swire and MacDonald's families all have their own stables. The three major shipping tycoons also have their own stables. Superman Lee also set up a stable this year.

Even Hong Kong's equestrian companies and stables can be publicly listed.

If Mr. Wang wants to make further progress in his career, he needs to cultivate these high-end foreign hobbies.

"It sounds so hard. I thought it was hard enough to play mahjong with Mr. Wang whenever I had time. I didn't expect that compared with Brother Ming, it's really like a small bird meeting a big bird!"

"By the way, you and Xizi are having such a lively conversation. If you have something interesting to say, please share it with me, a poor guy, to make me happy."

Chi Mengli put the cigarette given by Dusheming on her ear and asked curiously.

"I'm teaching Brother Xizai how to pick up girls, and I have to tell you this?"

"Stop it! Brother Sheng, if I had your face, I would never be a gangster even if you beat me to death. I would have been a prostitute long ago, accompanying those Shanghainese women who are old and have money in their pockets."

"There's no future in being a gangster!"

"Oh, right! You've made a lot of money in the lottery business recently. I have clients who are all rich young men who studied law in their hometowns. Are they qualified to be your big boat?"

After making a joke about Xizi, Dusheming turned the conversation to the main topic.

The client resources in the hands of Viper Ming are indeed very high-end. It is beneficial for everyone to cooperate with each other. Chi Mengli couldn't ask for it more and immediately nodded in agreement: "Of course, we are good brothers. Others take 7%, but you, Brother Ming! There must be a discount, 4 points!"

"Don't tell anyone. Everyone wants four points. I can't afford it even if I pawn my underwear!"

"Four points, it's a deal!"

"A Sheng, I have to say that you are more loyal than Boxing King Sheng. I talked to him first, and he started with eight points, and he refused to give any discount at all."

“It’s really outrageous that you can’t even keep accounts!”

"These rich guys all call to give me instructions, and I go to collect the cheques after the work is done. They are all very difficult to talk to, and I only earn the money for their hard work."

"This boxing champion Sheng has failed. He doesn't care about the fact that we fought side by side together. I am supporting him. Next time he fails again, I will definitely stand by and pretend that I didn't see it."

Viper Ming complained a few words about Boxing Champion Sheng, feeling very disgusted.

At first, Chi Mengli didn't care about it, thinking that Poison Sheming and Boxing Champion Sheng failed to reach an agreement. But when he heard half of the conversation, he felt something was wrong.

Something is wrong!
The time is wrong!
If Viper Ming's conversation with Boxing King Sheng about the big boat was something that happened before, then this plop wouldn't have to mention the fight with Big Circle Boy, which means that Viper Ming recently went to Boxing King Sheng to talk about the big boat.

Boxing champion Sheng also has a betting station? !
This is a major discovery!
Chi Mengli looked around and saw that there were people walking around, so he immediately said, "What are you talking about?"

"Didn't Boxing King Sheng transfer all the odds business to me? Is he still doing the odds business in English Football League One?"

"Of course! My good brother, Boxing King Sheng has been doing the odds business for a long time. I heard that he opened a new betting station recently. I heard that this betting station is in Happy Valley."

"Brother, you've been fooled by this pounce!"

Viper Ming talked for a long time, but was a little speechless when he saw Handsome Sheng finally react. Everyone said that Handsome Sheng was smart and sharp, but now it seems that this pounce is so stupid that it makes people laugh.

It's really hard to be on good terms with these losers!

Now Chi Mengli also realized why Dusheming had been talking so much here!
This guy, Dushe Ming, even though he never leaves Ruixing Bird House all day, he has really sharp ears!
