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

Chapter 245: The Lord of the Restoration

Wang Yaotang sighed, put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with paper, "You people are judging others by your own standards."

"Uncle Dong has always supported me so much, I just want to repay you simply."

Xi Gudong snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. The rule of electing a master every two years is not made out of thin air. It is the most appropriate rule that was slowly established after repeated competitions for the position. Four years, the other masters will not agree to it."

“Uncle Dong, you don’t have to hide anything from me. Just tell me whether you want to continue sitting in this position.” Wang Yaotang chuckled.

"You——" Qi Gudong opened his mouth, but he couldn't say what he didn't want to say.

Wang Yaotang spread his hands when he saw this, "So, what's there to hesitate about? The society is supported by the thousands of scoundrels below, and they are not the losers. Their opposition is useless. There are many people who want to get promoted. Are they so clean that they can just be fed to the fish if they don't accept it?"

"Uncle Dong, we are a society, not a city council. So, you're still planning to play democracy and follow the law?"

"He Shengyi, you are the most important. As long as you want, I will firmly support you. I am not afraid of a few rotten fish and shrimps causing any trouble."

"What are your ambitions?"

"Don't you want to replace Shuifang? Think about it, Shengyi and I will become one of the four greats in your hands. A hundred years later, your tablet will be placed at the top of the incense hall at the mountain gate, bringing honor to the family!"

"You fucking...you fucking..." After hearing these words, Qi Gu Dong's blood began to boil.

He slammed the table hard, a fierce look flashed across his face, "Done!"

Wang Yaotang's strength alone accounts for 80% of the entire He Shengyi. If he is still timid with such great support, it would be underestimating him too much!
"Come, toast to Zhongxing!" Wang Yaotang smiled and raised his glass.

"Yes, to Zhongxing!" Qi Gudong laughed and clinked his glasses with Wang Yaotang before drinking it in one gulp.

After leaving the hotel, Wang Yaotang felt better than ever.

It wasn't a sudden idea for him to let Ti Gu Dong continue to be the leader.

Now my entertainment industry and clothing industry are developing in parallel, and there are pornographic videos connecting the two together. It is a time of rapid development and it can be said that the future is limitless!
He really doesn't care about the 'financial benefits' that being the head of 'He Shengyi' can bring. The money he earns in a year is enough for Qi Gudong to earn in 10 years.

But beyond money, 'harmony and righteousness' also have huge 'political' value.

The current political landscape in Hong Kong is very similar to that in the late Qing Dynasty.

The British Hong Kong government is like the "Empress Dowager Cixi government", using the weak to govern the strong. It needs the "Chinese" to govern the Hong Kong government so that it can make huge profits, but it is also afraid that the "Chinese" will become strong and completely undermine them.

Therefore, the approach they adopt is to target the lower classes: indulge one group and restrain another.

Targeting the top leaders: win over one group and attack another group.

It is the community that is being indulged, and it is the Hong Kong police that are being restrained.

In fact, this strategy is very common in Western countries or even the whole world and is the mainstream.

First of all, society needs order, but maintaining order requires huge management costs.

Take the United States as an example. Blacks and white trash are at the bottom of society. If you want to strictly manage them and prevent them from committing criminal activities, you have to give them jobs, housing, basic education, and medical care... The cost is so high that it is beyond imagination!
It is a complete negative asset to society.

The best way is to drive them all to the 'slums', or to use a more cyber-speaking term, the 'downtown'. The police will not intervene and will let them contaminate, rot and fight among themselves, thus keeping the chaos within a certain range.

This is the lowest management cost method!

The benefit is not only saving money, but also giving the lower classes a chance to vent their dissatisfaction with life, fighting each other, hating each other, so that they will only have aspirations for the "upper city" and avoid uniting to start a revolution...

Therefore, the existence of associations has political value to the British Hong Kong government, especially large associations.

Without paying taxes, you can help manage the most "restless" group of people, and in turn receive a lot of "benefits" from the community, killing two birds with one stone.

As for those who are being wooed, of course, they are the capitalists who are sympathetic to Britain.

The targets of the attack are, of course, the capitalists who are sympathetic to the "Chinese".

Wang Yaotang knows the direction of the future world, so he is definitely a firm "Xiang Hua" faction. When the time comes, he will take the upper route, and Qi Gudong will stabilize the lower route. Only by working together can the foundation be consolidated and help him move to a higher level.

Besides, if the community grows big enough, it will also have 'TZ' value.

Of course, the position of club leader is somewhat unpleasant, it is a stain, and it is a hot spot...

……

On the other hand, the people from various halls were in a heavy mood.

"Daniu, what do you think?" asked Dayanhua, the man with a white paper fan at the Tseung Kwan O Hall, in a deep voice.

"What the hell can I think!" Da Niu said with a dark face, "What strength does Cai Shen Yao have? What strength do we have? We can't even beat a Yau Ma Tei gang. If he is determined to support Grandpa in changing the gang rules, who can do anything about it? You!"

Daniu pointed at Dayanhua, then at Gouzaixing, "You still have a solution."

The two of them looked at each other but no one spoke.

The society has developed for so many years, and the internal forces are complicated. Da Niu was originally with the Fourth Master, and he was able to sit firmly in Tseung Kwan O with the support of the Fourth Master. Dayanhua is Uncle Lin's man, and Gou Zixing was once a younger brother of Qi Gudong.

However, after coming to power, each of them has considerable power, so it is impossible to say that they are still of one mind.

Once the rules are changed, their upward path will be almost completely blocked. This is no longer just a simple infringement of their interests.

If they themselves cannot move, their subordinates cannot move either, and there is no guarantee that their subordinates will not have other ideas at that time.

They are all dirty, even if the society doesn't take action to deal with them, there are still the police...

Several people from the Tseung Kwan O branch were in a bad mood, and people from several other branches were also in a bad mood.

"This matter, to put it in a bigger context, is not just a matter between us and Shengyi." After returning home, Taoist Brother Rong of the White Paper Fan from the Tsuen Wan Hall made a separate appointment with Taoist Brother Hui of Straw Sandals.

"What do you mean?" Lao Shuhui asked in a deep voice.

"We are headed by the word '和'. If we change it, what about other clubs headed by the word '和'? Will it become an excuse to change the rules of the club?" Dao Yourong said in a low voice with narrowed eyes.

"Oh, not to mention the distant past, he and Quanxing Datou Bo have been the head chef for more than six years." Lao Shuhui shook his head.

"What is He Quanxing? It's not too much to say that He Shengyi is second only to the Big Four. What influence do we have?" "That's the influence created by Cai Shenyao. What does it have to do with us?"

"Where the hell are you from!" Daoyou Rong cursed.

"I'm pouring cold water on you to make you sober. Cai Shen Yao is ruthless. You have to be careful if you want to deal with him. Don't bring trouble upon yourself. That guy will not show mercy." Lao Shuhui rolled his eyes.

"Of course I know..." Dao Yourong said through gritted teeth.

……

"Ali, I pushed you to the top. What are your thoughts after going to Clearwater Bay?"

At night, at the Dynasty Nightclub, Wang Yaotang discussed with his four brothers and decided to push Ali to the top. Awei was the most active. He was kidnapped by Shark Kun's men, and it was Ali, Sha Ze and Dakou Hui who saved him from serious injuries.

Now Dakou Hui is in Jordan, Shaze is following Wang Yaotang, and Ali is the only one who has not been assigned a good position.

"I don't know either." Ali scratched his head. "Let's just select some of the younger brothers, form a security team, build a Fenglinwan Hotel, regulate the prostitute business, and ban the sale of powder in several nightclubs."

"Ali, there is a saying that we should adapt to local conditions." Wang Yaotang took a sip of glutinous rice wine, picked up a piece of heart-protecting meat, and then said slowly: "Clearwater Bay is remote, and there is only one Clearwater Bay Road to get out. It's okay to say it's a small kingdom."

"The people living there are basically fishermen, and all industries are related to fishermen. There are not even a few schools. It is not wrong for people to call it a rural area. In this situation, you can't do it in a big way like Yau Tsim Mong."

"It's poor over there, and there's a lack of entertainment. It's basically prostitution, gambling, and drugs. Fishermen spend most of their time at sea, and they're lawless. It won't work to use force to deal with such a closed area. If you touch the original interest groups, even the name of Shengyi won't protect you. So, when you get there, don't make any changes. Just follow Datoubo to understand the situation, and then select those young people from the second generation of fishermen who don't want to make a living at sea and bring a group of them to your side."

"As an outsider, you will definitely be disliked by the locals. You have to expand the cake first. In fact, Qingshui Bay still has a lot of potential. The cooking oil shipped by the society is very cheap, and they will also ship chickens, ducks, pork and other things from the mainland. If you open a gap from this, everyone will benefit. The grain dealers can be easily suppressed. There are also video halls. It is not a problem to open more than a dozen video halls in such a large area. You will make a lot of money. After you have established your foothold, you can rectify the nightclubs and ban the sale of them."

"I understand, Brother Yao." Ali felt as if everything had suddenly become clear to him, and nodded heavily in response.

"That's the general idea. The main purpose of the Qingshui Bay gang is still smuggling, so don't touch the interests of the locals for now, understand."

"clear."

"Okay, that's it, do a good job."

"The revenue from the video parlor is really good and stable." Ajie took over the conversation and said, "I have opened 4 of them. The 30 seats are basically always full, especially when the movie is playing. Many people can't help but run out after watching for a while, and then someone else goes in to watch. 30 seats can sell for 60 people's money. One show can easily sell more than 100, and in a day, I can sell about 2000."

"What are those people running out for?" Awei asked with a smile.

"Of course I masturbate. Otherwise, I don't have the money to go to prostitutes every day, so I can only comfort myself."

"Wow, can you bear it?"

"Anyway, there are fewer little rascals causing trouble recently. I guess they just couldn't take it anymore and their legs became weak."

As he said this, everyone burst into laughter.

……

Kai Tak Airport.

Berkeley, the director of PolyGram headquarters, led his men out of the airport passage and soon saw Zheng Donghan and others who were there to greet him.

After meeting, shaking hands, and exchanging a few pleasantries, Berkeley looked around and asked casually, "Is there no one else?"

"Did you ask the people from Yaoxing? No, they didn't come."

Berkeley snorted coldly, "What a bunch of guys who don't know etiquette. I'm beginning to have doubts about this round of financing. A company like this can't do good business."

In the UK, you call me Berkeley. What should you call me when you come to the Hong Kong colony?
This made the Union Jack feel very unhappy.

Although Hong Kong companies have sufficient autonomy and do not need the headquarters' approval for everything, they still need to communicate well with the headquarters for such a large amount of funds.

"Director Berkeley, the car is waiting outside." Zheng Donghan said with a smile.

Coming out of the airport lobby, Berkeley looked ahead with some surprise.

There was a row of eight Lincolns parked at the door, and more than 20 security guards in black clothes and black pants with batons hanging on their waists stood around. It was obvious that they were here to pick up an important figure. The Union Jack turned consciously and prepared to go around.

"Berkeley, this way." Zheng Donghan smiled and pointed towards the convoy.

"Ah? Oh." Berkeley blinked, suppressed his surprise, straightened his clothes gently, and walked towards the convoy with a gentleman's step.

"Mr. Zheng, thank you for your hard work this time." Berkeley said with a smile as he walked.

"I don't have the ability to do that." Zheng Donghan smiled and shook his head, "It was arranged by Mr. Wang from Yaoxing."

Berkeley said "oh" softly, and the security guard in front opened the car door. He suppressed his curiosity and leaned in to sit in.

The Lincoln in the lead honked three times, and the convoy started slowly and drove away. The senior inspector not far away breathed a sigh of relief and cursed under his breath. The last time Wang Yaotang brought more than 100 people, it caused quite a stir. They have already submitted an application to change the airport pick-up specifications, but it has been dragged on and nothing has been decided.

In the car, Berkeley saw that the driver was a PolyGram employee, so he asked in a low voice: "The information you handed over did not specify the specific identity of this Mr. Wang. What does he do?"

"He works in the entertainment and clothing industries, and he's a very powerful person." Zheng Donghan said mysteriously, "Like the security guards just now, he has more than 1000 people."

"So many!" Berkeley's face was filled with surprise. "Are they all his... employees?"

"Yes, the job of these people is to train every day to ensure the safety of all the casino properties under Mr. Wang's name."

Berkeley exclaimed in a low voice. In an instant, his previous dissatisfaction with the fact that no one came to pick up Yaoxing at the airport was thrown out of the window. This was a guy with great strength in Hong Kong.

Some of the previous ideas need to be overturned and started over again.

When doing business, you give yourself an identity, and foreigners don’t care whether it is related to gangs or not.

Is the security of casinos and nightclubs such as the London Club and the Palm Beach Casino in London maintained by the police?

No kidding, the police can't do anything.

The Union Jack has a thorough understanding of business competition!

Don't offend this kind of local tyrant even if the cooperation fails. Of course, it is best to cooperate with him. It is generally difficult to lose money when doing business with this kind of person.
