Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 48 Celebration Banquet (Part 48)
Two red envelopes, with the same number, six thousand six hundred and sixty-six.

The numbers are very auspicious and both uncles are very satisfied.

"Asheng, congratulations."

Uncle Wai pinched the thickness of the red seal, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Uncle Lan beside him.

Chi Mengli pulled out a chair, sat on it, took out a cigarette case and made way for the other uncles, but the two uncles were old and didn't smoke often, so they quickly declined.

"Uncle Wai, Uncle Lan, you must know this man, Bocaidong, my boss. If you have any questions in the future, just tell him directly."

"The handsome guy behind is called Jimi. Please take care of him from now on."

"Why don't you call someone?"

"Uncle Wai, Uncle Lan"

Bo Xidong and Jimi quickly opened their mouths to call for help.

"A handsome man, the washroom needs talented people. Old men like us can no longer hold a knife, and we need young people to take over."

"Not bad, not bad, Ah Dong, Jimizi, when you have time, come to Tsuen Wan and have tea with an old man like me. Sit down, you are the protagonists today."

Uncle Lan had a kind look on his face. He invited Bo Xidong and Jimizi to sit down and chat.

"Thank you, Uncle Wai, and Uncle Lan."

After expressing their thanks, Bo Xidong and Ji Mi sat down in the seat below Chi Mengli.

"Ah Sheng, I recently found a new way to make money. Camel cigarettes from Tahitian are 80 Hong Kong dollars cheaper than in Hong Kong."

"Eighty for one, eight hundred for ten, and eight thousand for a hundred. If you buy in bulk, the price will be even cheaper."

"I know that you, Ah Sheng, have a good relationship with the ship and you are guarding the Feng Shui treasure land of Yau Ma Tei. Consider it, we can work together. You will be responsible for selling to the market and ensure that you make money."

"The price is 280 yuan, which is 20 yuan cheaper than the market price. I'll give it to you for 230 yuan, and you can make 50 yuan per piece. It's so funny that even if the police find out, they can't convict you."

"think about it."

Uncle Wai took a look at Bo Shidong and Chi Mengli, then told them about his new way to make money, hoping to get this new big shot to work with him.

"Of course you can, but Uncle Wai, I'm short on money lately. How about this, I'll take the goods first and settle the payment after I sell them all."

"I have a lot of brothers under me, I guarantee that you will get your astigmatism corrected in a week."

It is okay to do business, but it is not okay to exchange money and goods at the same time. Chi Mengli likes business with no capital. There are many places in Yau Ma Tei, whether it is nightclubs, KTVs, stables, restaurants, or shops, there is a demand for cigarettes.

If a place puts up three or five of them, they will disperse without anyone noticing.

Besides, the Queguan was going to replace the free cigarettes with Dafei cigarettes. Even if Taizi Hui knew about it, he would not say anything. After all, the free cigarettes provided by the Queguan now are Hongwan.

"Of course, we'll settle the bill once a week. I see you smoke a lot, so I'll give you a hundred packs first."

"Adong, Jimi, everyone who sees this gets a share. You two get 20 packs each, smoke as much as you want."

Uncle Wai was a little hesitant, but still decided to cooperate with Chi Mengli and settle the payment once a week. Even if there was a problem, he would only lose one week's payment.

"It's been a pleasure working with you, Uncle Wai. If you have any good opportunities to make money in the future, please tell me. I, Ah Sheng, will definitely follow you to the end."

In just a few words, Chi Mengli negotiated a deal and opened up his way to making money.

"Grandpa."

"Grandpa." Chi Mengli wanted to continue saying something, but when he heard the sound outside the box, he knew that Shenxian Jin had arrived, so he quickly stood up and told Ji Mi to notify the manager to start the meal in five minutes.

"Boss, please come in."

"Brother Bing, long time no see. Please come in, please come in."

Lan Mingde was taken in by the police. Besides, even if Lan Mingde was still alive, he could no longer be the head of Shenxianjin and had to protect the safety of the boss 24 hours a day.

Lak Se Bing is also Shen Xian Jin's henchman. He fought with him all the way from To Kwa Wan. Back then, he fought underground boxing in Kowloon Walled City. This guy was the champion for eight fights and remained undefeated. He also made a great name for himself in Kowloon Walled City, a place where all kinds of people mixed together.

It's just that this guy is not very smart. He stole the police's military vehicle and ran away to Pattaya. Shenxianjin only brought him back recently.

"Ah Sheng, long time no see. Congratulations, congratulations. Let's have dinner and hotpot together when we are free."

Laseting greeted Chi Mengli with a smile, and followed Shenxianjin into the box.

Everyone in the box was familiar, so there was no need to be too polite. After greeting each other, they sat down.

"Grandpa, this is Jimi. He's smart and loyal. I think highly of him."

Chi Mengli unscrewed the bottle of Remy Martin on the table. The banquet cost one thousand dollars a table, and Remy Martin was served. He knew it was fake wine even if he used his butt to think. He poured most of the glass into the cup, and then stuffed it into Jimi's hand: "Jimi, why don't you toast to Grandpa."

Don't even think about it if Sijiuzi toasts the host, but if someone introduces you, there will be no problem.

"Grandpa."

Ji Mi shouted, then drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

"He's a handsome guy, the food will be here soon, drink your wine slowly, and sit down."

Shenxian Jin was also a prominent figure at the scene. He praised Ji Mi and asked him to take a seat quickly.

Drinking on an empty stomach is not a pleasant experience for anyone. Jimi, a boy from a housing estate, had rarely drunk beer before, let alone strong foreign liquor. His little face turned red, just like a monkey's butt.

The reason is very simple. A can of the cheapest Pearl River beer only costs six dollars and is gone in a few sips. The housing estate guys can't bear to spend that money.

Chi Mengli knew that Ji Mizi was a little drunk, so she picked up a piece of pastry from the plate in front of her with chopsticks and put it on Ji Mizi's plate, letting him feel it first.

The kitchen had already prepared the dishes, and when they heard the order to start the meal, they immediately got busy.

First, there was a top-notch banquet worth 1,888 in the private room. The dishes were excellent, including lobster, grouper, roast suckling pig, roast goose, Hakka salted chicken across the bridge, braised vegetables with scallops and golden mushrooms, snow clam, mango and sago, stewed fish maw with morels, and sautéed Dalian abalone with chive sauce.

These were all delicious dishes that one could not usually have. Shenxianjin was very satisfied with the banquet. He drank half a bottle of Remy Martin and chatted for two hours before being helped away by Lasetbing.

Uncle Wai and Uncle Lan also drank several glasses of Remy Martin and said they couldn't hold on any longer.

Bo Xidong went to deliver the fairy brocade, and Jimi went to deliver Uncle Wai and Uncle Lan.

Chi Mengli held a glass of wine and went to greet the brothers outside. Everyone had contributed today, and although he paid for it, he also had to express his gratitude.

Many housing estate guys took out red envelopes on the spot, wanting to ask Chi Mengli to be their boss. As he was short of manpower, he accepted everyone who came, accepted the red envelopes, asked for their names, and then accepted them as blue lanterns.

There is a huge demand for parking attendants, and as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely earn more than working in a factory.

The celebration banquet lasted until after ten o'clock. After returning, Jimi took this group of housing estate kids to Malan to have fun.

Chi Mengli had already paid, one shot per person, to relieve his loneliness.
