Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 78: Business is booming

(Thanks to the boy who loves to read historical novels for his support. Thank you, thank you for your support!)

Rumors in the world are eight percent false, one percent exaggerated, and only one percent can be taken seriously.

Filtering information and distinguishing true from false is basic operation.

Shenxianjin had a quarrel with Brother Teddy because of opening a powder stall. Brother Teddy spread the word that he would overthrow Shenxianjin, and brought his men to To Kwa Wan to sweep the water room.

Shenxianjin, who had suffered a great loss, was furious. He certainly could not tolerate the arrogance of the younger generation in the martial arts world, so he decided to strike first and directly blocked Brother Teddy and his yellow paper brothers Xifei and Chengzi in the private room of the restaurant.

If no one had come forward to plead for him, Teddy, the big talker, would have been chopped into eight pieces, served as a boiled chicken, and thrown into the sea to feed the crabs.

After being defeated by Shenxianjin, Brother Teddy withdrew from To Kwa Wan and began to concentrate on running his fan club without interfering in the territory. From then on, when he saw Shenxianjin, he would try to avoid him.

The barbecued pork rice that Chi Mengli ordered arrived. He first picked up the soup and took a sip. It tasted good, pig lung soup.

Shengzai stood in front of the desk, took out an invitation, put it on the table, and said, "Brother Sheng, this is an invitation from Liji Restaurant, saying that Mr. Wen wants to invite you to drink old wine."

"I know, I'll go get busy first."

Chi Mengli glanced at the invitation on the desk, nodded, and continued to enjoy the barbecued pork rice.

Shengzai waved to Bocaidong, then walked out of the room and closed the door again.

"When Brother Robin was here, he always wanted to talk to Wen Sheng about business, but Wen Sheng always avoided him. I didn't expect that once you, Brother Sheng, took the position, Wen Sheng would take the initiative to come up to him."

"Will there be any ghost?"

The barbecued pork rice at Lai Kee Restaurant is far inferior to that at Keung Kee Sham Tseng Roast Goose, but it is good for filling the stomach. After all, he can't drive to Causeway Bay to eat barbecued pork.

"Brother Robin's secret business is all about giving birth to sons without assholes, selling female piglets, running a brothel, being a housewrecker, lending money at high interest, whatever makes money."

"If your reputation is bad, only the rotten fish and shrimp will come to you, and the bosses and bigwigs will definitely stay away."

"Wen Sheng just hates Brother Robin's bad reputation, so he avoids him."

"By the way, what did you send as resettlement allowance to sister-in-law?"

Chi Mengli ate most of the barbecued pork rice, threw the plate aside, drank a mouthful of the soup to relieve the greasiness, and then asked about Robin's family's resettlement allowance.

"I give it to you every month, 5,000 yuan. I deliver it myself. I also give my sister-in-law a fruit basket."

"Brother Sheng, I found your pager. It fell under the seat."

Bo Xidong put the pager on the table. He had run out of cigarettes in his pocket. He reached out and picked up the can of Double Happiness on the desk, took out a cigarette, lit it with the Zippo lighter on the table, and then sat down on the desk.

"I have to give you 5,000 dollars every month, not a penny less. Every three months, I go to Stanley to deposit money so that Brother Robin can have cigarettes every day."

"Tonight we're going to make a decision, and the Donglian Society is the banker. Although we won't do anything, we need to get ready, brothers. Dakouya will definitely cheat."

"Bring more people with you to be prepared." After finishing his meal, Chi Mengli opened the drawer, took out a calculator, opened the account book, and began to record today's numbers.

Bo Xidong took out a thick stack of beef from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "Brother Sheng, the account of the minibus company is 6,300 yuan, which is the amount for one week."

"According to what you said, each stall in the territory will receive a large flower basket, all of which will be sent in your name, Brother Sheng, and you will also tell the bosses that the fees will be collected every half month, at 1,000 yuan a month."

"Lawyer Zhang has already applied for a license for the garbage disposal company. I saw that the minibus company had an empty space, so I asked workers to separate an area and use it as the garbage disposal company's office."

Chi Mengli also took out a Hongshuangxi cigarette from the chimney, and Bo Xidong quickly lit it. After exhaling a puff of smoke, he continued, "Go buy a garbage truck. It's too big, a van, and it has to be closed in front, back, left, and right."

"Let's find a small cargo ship and transport all the domestic and kitchen waste to the island in the sea."

“When the time is right, we will find a piece of wasteland in Tuen Mun and build a waste treatment plant.”

"The garbage company is also recruiting workers. Hong Kong locals won't do the job of collecting garbage. They should look for South Asians who are clean and have clean hands and feet. If they arrange for a shuttle bus to pick them up every day, there will definitely be people who will do it."

Garbage collection companies are a lucrative business. Now the Chief Secretary has introduced a new garbage law that prohibits food stalls from dumping kitchen waste into street trash cans. It will be implemented in two months.

Tenement building residents also need to pay a fee to throw their domestic waste into the Chief Secretary’s garbage truck.

The garbage is not thrown away by seven in the morning, so you have to wait another two days. Now Yau Ma Tei is full of flies and cockroaches.

Food stalls and restaurants of all sizes are complaining and hope that someone will deal with these domestic and kitchen waste.

When citizens have demand, business will naturally be born. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will become an overnight success. While the bosses have not yet paid attention to this small business, Chi Mengli feels that he should get involved.

The core link of a garbage company is the garbage treatment plant. Now, while the Chief Secretary has not yet formulated rules and regulations and industry thresholds, we should build the garbage treatment plant first. Even if laws and regulations are introduced, we can only make rectifications.

You can say that English is bad, but you can't say that English is bad. As long as you stay within the rules of the game, the foreigners will never cause you trouble.

In recent years, there have been numerous lawsuits filed by Chinese businessmen against the Chief Secretary, and 80 percent of them have been settled.

"I will go get a car tomorrow and look at the land. Brother Sheng, we don't have to go so far to Tuen Mun. There are a lot of vacant land in Shau Kei Wan. We can arrange the garbage treatment plant in Shau Kei Wan."

Bocaidong finally understood what Chi Mengli meant. Although transportation in Shau Kei Wan was inconvenient, at least he didn't have to take the undersea tunnel, which was much more convenient.

"You're crazy! Once the Eastern Corridor in Shau Kei Wan is completed, there will definitely be development. If you build a garbage disposal plant, it will smell bad and will definitely attract complaints, affecting housing prices."

"That hellhole of a place called Tuen Mun will never be developed in 10,000 years. We should find an area near the sea, build a small pier, sort domestic waste, and dump kitchen waste directly into the sea. It's simple and saves trouble."

Chi Mengli put the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, poured himself a cup of tea, and expressed his thoughts.

Bocaidong knew nothing about business. Seeing that his boss had thought of everything, he said nothing and said that he would talk to the merchants in the next two days.

"Let lawyer Zhang draw up a contract and sign it for one year. We are a legal business and protected by the law. We don't want anyone to find loopholes. Organized crime syndicates like Organized Crime and Triads have been keeping an eye on us."

Chi Mengli counted all the banknotes on the table and put the money belonging to the initials into the safe.
