Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 89: Hong Kong Specialty Fish Steak

"Thank you, boss."

"I've recently taken a fancy to the Toyota Crown, but I don't have enough money. Brother Sheng, you have to support me when the time comes."

After eating the pineapple bun, Spinach Dongshi opened his mouth and said that he had taken a fancy to the Toyota Crown and was ready to take this opportunity to get one to show off.

"Toyota Crown! You idiot, I think you look like a Toyota Crown. I drive a Toyota Supra-A40, that street car has an engine that shakes worse than mine."

"And that junky car only has two doors, which makes it very inconvenient to get in and out of the car."

"It's too ostentatious to buy a Toyota Crown at such a young age. You don't have to buy a car. This Toyota Supra-A40 is yours. It's impressive enough."

"You have 10% of the shares in Zihua. Tell Huanxi that for the lottery tickets, whether you buy or redeem them, you will have to pay a handling fee of half of the shares."

"Get out of my sight, bastard."

Buying a Toyota Crown is really a way to show off. There are so many wealthy people in Hong Kong, and not everyone can afford a car. Those with plenty of money drive a Toyota Corolla, those with tight money ride a motorcycle, and those who are poor drive a van that is about to be scrapped.

Chi Mengli told Bo Xidong to get out of here immediately and not to make her angry.

"Brother Sheng, see you at Liji Restaurant at 6pm."

'I drove the car away.'
Taking an egg tart out of the box, Bo Xidong told Chi Mengli the time of the banquet and walked out of the apartment.

"Crazy thread."

Chi Mengli continued to eat his pork chop sandwich, mumbling something and cursing.

After breakfast and washing up, he locked the door and walked out of the apartment.

Xizi was squatting in the corridor smoking. When he saw the Baimen boss coming out, he quickly threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and said, "Brother Sheng, good morning."

"Early morning, have you had breakfast?"

"Ate."

"Brother Sheng, Jimi, Huanxi and Hesheng are all downstairs. We have all eaten." Xizi said that he had finished eating.

"Let's go! We have to go out to sea today. If we keep the boss waiting for too long, he will be unhappy."

Chi Mengli walked to the elevator and saw that the elevator was full of people waiting. He could only shake his head, pointed at the stairs, and signaled Xizi to take the stairs. However, he didn't expect that there were many people who shared the same idea as him.

Mingzhu Building is full of old neighbors. When they see him, they greet him warmly, and he responds warmly, chatting with him about anything.

Walking out of the Pearl Building, the two saw a van parked on the side of the road. Ji Mi and Huan Xi were smoking and chatting, while He Sheng was sitting in the driver's seat, listening to the two guys chatting.

Seeing Chi Mengli coming out, Ji Mi and Huanxi quickly stood up, threw the cigarettes in their hands to the ground and stomped them out with their feet.

"Brother Sheng."

"Well, get in the car and take me to Wan Chai Pier. I'll see the boss later. Eat more fish and talk less."

"I know."

Chi Mengli got on the van and asked Hesheng to drive to Wan Chai.

Because it was rush hour, in order to arrive on time, Chi Mengli asked Hesheng to take the toll tunnel, which would be faster and enable them to arrive at Wan Chai Pier on time.

After the van parked, Chi Mengli brought Ji Mi and the other three to the agreed No. 8 floating bridge, where they saw the night manager of Liji Restaurant chatting with a gray-haired old man in a fishing suit.

When the night manager of Liji Restaurant saw Chi Mengli arrive, he whispered a few words to the gray-haired old man, then waved and greeted loudly: "Brother Sheng, here."

"Brother Da, good morning." Chi Mengli walked over and greeted the night manager of Liji Restaurant first.

The night manager Ada took a half step back, and when he saw Chi Mengli approaching him, he explained to him, "Brother Sheng, this is Wen Sheng."

"Mr. Wen, this is the handsome guy Sheng who has recently become famous in Yau Ma Tei, Brother Sheng."

Wen Sheng, who was wearing a fishing suit, handed the fishing rod to Ada, who was standing beside him, and took out a business card from his vest pocket and handed it to Chi Mengli: "Handsome Sheng, what a good name."

"He really lives up to his name, a handsome guy."

"My name is Wen Liangren, and I just run a few small restaurants. I am a few years older than you, so I am bold enough to call you Ah Sheng. I hope you don't mind."

"Ada said that you usually take good care of the restaurant business. My friends in the underworld all know me and I like fishing, so I thought we could get to know each other and go fishing together."

"Don't worry, it won't be boring."

"Mr. Wen, you are my elder, so it is only natural for you to call me Ah Sheng."

"Although I don't know how to fish, I have always wanted to learn. I hope you can give me some advice, Mr. Wen."

Before coming, Chi Mengli investigated the background of the owner of Li Ji Restaurant. Wen Liangren was a man of the underworld, but not of the society. He was a member of the ship.

In the second year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty, a city was built and a guard was set up, called Tianjin Guard. The sea transportation in Tianjin was composed of 12 ships in a gang. Each gang had a number, including 64 numbers such as Xian, Tian, ​​Di, Jiu, etc., and there were ship owners.

Wen Liangren is the successor of Jiuzihao and now the captain of Jiuzihao.

The Wen family came to Hong Kong in 1948 and continued to run the shipping business, but it cannot be said that Tianjin shipping has declined. However, compared with the Ningbo shipping king, it is nothing.

However, the Wen family did not get involved in the freight business, but instead found another way to transport fruits and seafood. Their business was quite good, especially after the popularization of refrigerated containers, the profits from fruits and seafood became even greater.

"Fishing is easy to learn. I'll teach you. Okay, it's getting late. Let's get on the boat. The fish raft is at Lamma Island. Once we get there, we can fish and eat seafood."

"Ada, are you ready?"

Wen Liangren looked at Ada beside him and asked about the preparations.

"Uncle Xia has prepared everything. The harbor is windy, so let's get on the boat first. It will be sunny and windy once we get out of Wan Chai."

Ada nodded and reported to the boss that everything was ready.

"Asheng, get on board. I've prepared some white champagne. Let's drink and chat."

Wen Liangren invited Chi Mengli, then took the lead and walked to the ladder of a medium-sized yacht. He threw his leather slippers into a plastic box beside him and walked onto the boat barefoot.

Although Chi Mengli was not born into a wealthy family in his previous life, he had enjoyed a few years of prosperity. When traveling in Yalong Bay, he also rode on a yacht and knew the rules of being on a yacht.

He first threw the briefcase in his hand to Jimi and asked him to take good care of it, as it contained the Jungle Aviation Song, which was used for self-defense.

Then he took off his leather shoes, stuffed his socks into them, and put them into a plastic box.

Ji Mi and his gang of street thugs followed suit and took off their shoes and socks.

But these street urchins are all unhygienic. Normally, the smell is covered by shoes and socks, so it doesn’t come out. But today, when they took off their socks and shoes, they realized how powerful it is.

The smell of their four athlete's feet was very unpleasant and choking, just like dead fish left on the shore in the sun for three days.

"cough cough"

Attacked by the fishy smell, Chi Mengli kept coughing and showed signs of nausea.
