Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 15 Conspiracy
Can Wang Yaotang refuse?
If the association offers to help you but you refuse, how can you ask the association to solve your business problems next time?
What's more, by rejecting the society's good intentions, is he trying to whitewash himself?

I still have to transfer to other clubs!

"Thank you, big boss." Wang Yaotang stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement, "Don't worry, big boss, I will definitely not bring shame to the society and kill that loser Datousheng!"

"Okay." Guan Zaisen patted Wang Yaotang's shoulder heavily, "Ayao, I am very optimistic about you. We and Shengyi haven't had a young person as outstanding as you for a long time."

"He can fight, eat brains, and find water."

"A-Tong, I've given him so many chances over the years, and it's impossible to succeed. No one in your generation can compare to Shengyi."

Zhubitong: ??? No, I didn’t say anything!

"Brother Tong wants to stay with you, boss." Wang Yaotang said with a smile.

Guan Zaisen chuckled, "I actually hope he can stand out."

"As your sworn brother, I am old and incompetent. I cannot pave a better way for you. This is all I can do. I will help you carve out a piece of land for yourself."

"If you can do something bigger in two years, I will go to the abbot and propose to open a temple for you. If the abbot disagrees, I will retire and let you take the position!"

"Boss, stop. You're embarrassing me by saying that." Wang Yaotang quickly stopped him.

"I'm not kidding you. I'm old. What future do my subordinates have following an old bone like me? If they keep refusing to leave, I'm afraid they won't even have the chance to retire." Guan Zaisen smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I'll call Datousheng tomorrow and ask him to stop selling. He will definitely disagree, so you can take action tonight."

"Okay, I know. Thank you, big boss." Wang Yaotang nodded. "Then I'll leave first and go get ready."

"Go ahead, I'll host a triumphal banquet for you tomorrow night!" Guan Zaisen laughed.

As soon as Wang Yaotang left, Zhu Bitong couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's the matter?"

I have been loyal for so many years, and you fucking support others!

Can't figure it out!
Guan Zaisen glanced at Zhu Bitong, walked back with square steps, sat down again, picked up the teapot and slowly poured himself a cup of tea, closed his eyes, smelled it, drank it in one gulp, put down the teacup, and then looked at Zhu Bitong again, "Stupid!"

"You don't even have a brain. I pushed you to the top just to collect your body!"

"Believe it or not, that guy has figured it out now."

Zhu Bitong stared with his eyes wide open, looking confused.

……

Every night after closing the stall, the brothers would go to Xiongji Food Stall for a midnight snack.

"What does Guanzaisen want you to do?" Ah Wei opened a few bottles of beer and placed them on the table.

"Ha," Wang Yaotang sneered, "There are many gangs out there that secretly took the goods from Lao Li and are selling them. You all know this. Lao Gutou told me to prepare for action. The gang will help me back up. I can mobilize the gang members at will. If I win, the place will be allocated to me, but I have to pay 20% to the gang every month."

"Ah?" Several brothers looked at Wang Yaotang in shock, holding bottles of wine in their hands.

"That's a good thing!" Ajie took a big gulp, "The boss finally did a good thing. Is he going to help you get a job?"

"Where is it, what kind of place?" Awei's face was also full of joy.

"Two stables at the Lifa Building and the Union Building."

"What a great place!" Awei looked happy.

"I'll arrange someone tonight." Aji was the most straightforward. He rubbed his hands back and forth on the wine bottle, looking eager to try.

"Is he so kind?" The bespectacled boy frowned, somewhat confused.

Wang Yaotang glanced at the faces of several people and shook his head. "I don't know what Old Bones' specific plan is, but... we won the fight, and the uncles in the society will get money to share every month. Isn't it natural for them to take the lead in negotiating with Tongxin? But should I show some appreciation to the gang that really contributed?" "Of course I should show some appreciation. Everyone in the gang knows that you, Brother Yao, are the best at making money and you are generous." Ajie spoke quickly and continued.

"But killing people doesn't cost money, right?" Wang Yaotang sneered, "This is a film opening, not a show of strength. You have to pay for settling in. The club normally gives 500. If you want the brothers to contribute, you have to give at least 1000."

"If you are injured and need to be sent to the doctor, those underground hospitals will charge five times the price."

"Should I bail someone who is arrested by the police? Should I pay money to my lawyer?"

"I estimate that less than 5 is definitely not enough, and that's without anyone trying to be aggressive."

"Besides," Wang Yaotang shook his head. "Even if we win, the other side can retaliate. We are not Xinji or Haohao. If the club wants to force others to give up two stables, it will at least cost some money, right? Who will pay for it? If the club pays, the stables will be considered as the club's property. At most, they will be used for us to watch the show. What's the point of us paying so much?"

"Brother Yao, we can't delay the money from Ma Furong." Four Eyes immediately became nervous and grabbed Wang Yaotang's hand.

Loan sharking, even if it’s someone from the society, is no joke!
A bad business will become someone else's.

"Yes, when the time comes, the gang will ask me to waive the money I raised in the society and instead let me get involved in our clothing business, how can I refuse?" Wang Yaotang sneered.

"If that doesn't work, then don't do it. Let's wait a few days until we make some money, then we'll do it." Ajie clicked his tongue twice and said with some regret.

"Impossible." A Wei shook his head. "The society gave you a chance and you refused?"

Uh...Ajie blinked.

There is a saying in the underworld: As a small fry, you are not qualified to work for the society!
"This is still a win, what if we lose?" Wang Yaotang snorted.

A handsome gangster from Young and Dangerous went to Haojiang to do business but failed. He was a well-known figure in the gang and was the nominal leader. Even though Big B acted as a guarantor, he was still kicked out of the gang.

"Don't worry, Brother Yao, there is no failure." Aji clenched his fists. He was ready to fight to the death.

"Haha, of course I won't lose. Failure doesn't exist in my dictionary." Wang Yaotang smiled and patted Aji. "What I'm really worried about is the old guy. He lost all his pants. He must have set his eyes on our business."

"Now I just don't know what his next move is." Wang Yaotang narrowed his eyes. He had been thinking about this for several hours but had no clue.

Now, all four of them were silent.

After a while, Ajie irritably smashed the wine bottle to the ground, attracting the attention of the people around him. "What are you looking at? I'm going to give you a lot of wealth!"

After cursing, he looked at Wang Yaotang again and said, "I'll find a chance to kill this old man tonight!"

"You can be hacked to death for any of the following: fighting among fellow disciples or insubordination!" Wang Yaotang glared at Ajie unhappily.

"What should we do?" Ajie gasped, "We can't just let that old man scheme against us like this."

"Brother Yao, can we borrow some money from Huangmao, Xiluo and others for our cash flow?" asked Four Eyes, frowning.

Wang Yaotang shook his head. “We can’t take money from downstream distributors. This is business logic.”

Four Eyes didn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Well, it's not your turn to worry about this kind of thing. Otherwise, how can I be your big brother?" Wang Yaotang said with a smile: "I'm telling you this just to broaden your horizons. Don't let the gang sell you out one day and still count the money for you. These old guys can make it out of the hundreds of thousands of bad guys in Hong Kong Island. They are all very sinister."

"Being a gangster won't eat your brain, you'll be a gangster for life!"

"Oh, you should have said it earlier!" Ajie breathed a sigh of relief, "I can't eat brains anymore, but drinking is no problem."

As he said that, he picked up the beer and showed it off.

"By the way, Brother Yao, which society is across the street?" Four Eyes suddenly asked.

"Do the Big Four know?" Wang Yaotang asked, and the four of them were stunned where they were.
