Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 59: Strong Demand

"Adong, you will be in charge of the hookah from now on."

"Please, be more careful."

Chi Mengli said this helplessly and turned back to the office.

Bo Xidong picked up the newspaper on the front desk, gently tapped the man who was working, asked him to pay more attention, and then followed Chi Mengli into the office on the third floor.

"Find your own warehouse and your own friends. I only want 20%. You can check the accounts with Uncle Wai yourself."

Chi Mengli sat on the office chair and instructed Bocaidong who came in later that hookah smoking was not dangerous and had high returns, so it was a good way to make money, and it would not be a problem to have 17 or 18 followers.

"I know, but Brother Sheng, because our prices are cheap, the venues want them, and all the 100 pieces Uncle Wai gave us have been sold out."

"The brothers who were watching the show were all asking if there was any stock left."

"Three nightclubs need five or six hookahs a day, and several big nightclubs can sell two or three in one night."

When Chi Mengli heard this, he picked up the phone, opened the phone book on the desk, found Uncle Wai's phone number, and dialed the number.

"Uncle Wai, business is booming, the goods are sold out, but this matter is now the responsibility of Adong and Bocaidong. The phone call is not safe."

"Give our brothers a chance and let them communicate through a single line."

"Okay, that's it. I want five hundred this time."

“Let’s make money together!”

After Chi Mengli finished speaking, he put the microphone back, looked up at Bocaidong who was sitting on the table playing with a lighter, picked up the phone book on the table and hit this guy on the head.

"If you want to sit, go to the sofa, sit on the table, and look cool!"

"What do you know about monk Zhuang?"

"He's in charge of the hookah. You two will connect and follow the rules of the powder stall. Bet 30,000 yuan and he will pay the rest."

"Of the thirty thousand yuan, half will be used to buy a car for Jimi, and the remaining half will be used as capital. You can use the two thousand yuan as pocket money, and don't spend it recklessly."

Bo Xidong quickly stood up from the table and made an OK gesture, imitating the actions of the male protagonists in European and American movies.

"Crazy thread."

Chi Mengli took out the account book from the locked drawer and did a simple calculation with a calculator. Business has been good recently. After deducting the money to be handed over and the part to pay the brothers' salaries, there is still more than 40,000 yuan left.

Although Yau Tsim Mong is a Feng Shui treasure land, Yau Ma Tei cannot be compared with North Point, Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui. You should know that the most popular place in Tsim Sha Tsui now is Shanghai City Nightclub. Even in the off-season, the monthly operating turnover can reach more than 10 million.

According to the rules, the head of the group gets half of the commission, and if you invest, you get 10%.

You don't have to do anything and you can earn one million a month. Even if it's half, it's still five hundred thousand. This doesn't include drinks, waiter tips, dancers, and bone girls. All in all, it's at least one million a month.

Therefore, the leaders of various societies all want to establish themselves in this area and make a living. As there are many societies, there are naturally many conflicts.

Some popular and profitable places are targeted by various social groups. Today, the venue for the Shanghai City Nightclub may be Xin Ji, tomorrow it may be He Lian Sheng, and the day after tomorrow it may be the Hao Han Bang.

It is true that fortune has changed, and today it comes to my house.

But these right and wrongs have nothing to do with Chi Mengli. He just wants to make money in peace.

However, the money of the gang is the money of the boss. As long as the accounts submitted to the gang leader are correct, the boss and the gang members will not ask about the remaining money of the gang. As for the brothers under him, they don't care how much money the boss makes. As long as they have a job and make money, they won't say anything.

"Brother Sheng, I heard that the Donglian Society is going to buy a place in Yau Ma Tei. Brother Sheng, should we also buy a few places and recruit more brothers to start working?"

Bo Xidong told everyone the rumors in the underworld, and then continued to read the new comic book he had bought.

Chi Mengli was a little speechless. Bo Xidong was born with a dwarf mule body! This guy only thought about three things every day: Xiaomei, planting flags, and recruiting minions.

It's not the number of people that matters, but their quality. He didn't understand such a simple truth at all, and all he thought about all day was fighting and killing.

However, Xinji's recent practices are worthy of reference for Chi Mengli. Ever since Siyanlong implemented the membership system, the process of opening an incense hall has been waived. As long as you pay the membership fee, you become a member of Xinji and can go out and do things under the banner of Xinji.

Those who are good at fighting and have drawn the life and death lot for the club will be given a fruit bar by the club to live on. Of course, this fruit bar is not given for free. When the club needs to do something, those who are called cannot shrink back.

Sun Kee relied on this group of loyal followers to take control of the situation in Tsim Sha Tsui. Even when Lian Sheng was at its peak, they were unable to drive Sun Kee out.

"Nowadays, it costs hundreds of thousands to buy a tenement building or a stall in Yau Ma Tei, which is not cost-effective."

"I don't run a gold shop, so where can I find so much money?"

"Crazy, but your idea reminds me that we really need to find some ways to make money so that the brothers can make money."

Chi Mengli threw a cigarette to Bo Shidong, then lit one and put it in his mouth, thinking about what kind of business to start that would have low costs and could make money.

It's hard to imagine such a profitable business in a short time, but when it's time to hand in the bill, the guys in charge of watching the venue all come to the mahjong parlor's office to hand in today's bill.

"Brother Sheng, the bar is seven hundred, valet parking is one thousand, the stable is eight hundred, and the fee (protection) is three thousand."

"Brother Sheng, the arcade is 600, the cigarette stand is 300"

Chi Mengli recorded every penny, then tied up the money he handed in, ten thousand yuan at a time, with a belt.

The chicken didn't arrive, it was delivered by his henchmen, and there were only four thousand dollars.

Lao Fu's place is famous for its high profits. Even if he only makes 4,000 yuan a day and a night, no one would believe it.

But Chi Mengli pretended not to see it and just recorded it in the book, then asked Jizai's henchmen to tell him that he owed money to Zitou and the due date was coming soon, so he should not be made to work hard.

Jizai Mazai nodded, indicating that he understood and that there would definitely be no problem.

The last person to pay was Hei Ah Hu. He took out five thousand yuan from his coat pocket, put it on the table, and then sat on the sofa.

"Ah Hu, the bill between you and Ji Zai is coming due soon, please don't make things difficult for me as the boss."

"Each family only has half, including interest, which is only 130,000 yuan. You have found a way to make money, so it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Chi Mengli divided the money on the table into two parts, one half for the money at the beginning of the character and the other half for the money at the hall, then flicked the ash off his cigarette and spoke nonchalantly.

"Lao Fu has been coming here to clean up the place and cause trouble. I have spent all my money on bail recently. I came here today to ask if the money from the society can be postponed for a period of time."

"Wait till I kill those bastards of Lao Fu, and I'll definitely finish them all in one go."

Hei Ah Hu is having a hard time. Lao Fu's Prince Le keeps causing trouble and he can't do business at all.
