Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 231 A Simple Method
Silly Keung became the new head of Sham Shui Po. After the meeting, he still followed Handsome Kun back to Mong Kok.

But what Liang Kun didn't see was that the way the group of leaders were looking at him was very strange.

At Qiankun Film Company, Liang Kun said to Sha Qiang:

"Now that you're independent, do a good job and don't embarrass Mong Kok when you go out."

Sha Qiang was very modest:

"Brother Kun, this is all thanks to your recommendation."

"Brother Dao is more qualified than me."

“Don’t compare yourself to him,” Liang Kun said honestly to Sha Qiang. “In my heart, Chen Yao is no match for A Dao.”

“Ado was a polymath; he was proficient in almost everything.”

"Putting him in a club would be a waste."

Sha Qiang wholeheartedly agreed.

Leung Kwan adopted a righteous approach, running the gang in a corporate manner, thus setting up several firewalls for himself, making it impossible for the police to arrest him through the gang.

Sha Qiang had chatted with Wang Dao before, and he was very puzzled by this operation.

Wang Dao convinced Sha Qiang with just a few words, and from that moment on, Sha Qiang knew why Liang Kun's confidant was Wang Dao.

“When you go to Sham Shui Po, you must take some people with you,” Liang Kun asked Wang Dao. “After all, Qiang is my younger brother. I can’t let him be looked down upon. Let’s help him out.”

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

"That's easy, just have Ah Qiang take everyone from that street away."

Silly and powerful are overjoyed:

"Thank you very much, boss. Thank you very much, Brother Dao."

The people on that street have been following him for over three months and are completely familiar with his way of doing things. They will definitely listen to him, and once they arrive in Sham Shui Po, he can seamlessly take over.

They are absolutely not afraid of being coveted by surrounding gangs.

Besides, who would dare to covet their own gang now? The big show that Liang Kun staged almost scared the entire underworld to death.

The title "Young Master of the Laughing Kun" is incredibly prestigious.

"If you have any other requests, just say them." With his own disciple now in charge, Liang Kun felt a sense of pride.

Sha Qiang thought for a moment and quickly said:
"Boss, you have to find me a way to make money!"

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"Don't tell me you're not confident you can support your youngest son."

"I... I really lack confidence." Sha Qiang said with a wry smile, "Back then, I was only thinking about becoming the boss and being happy. But when I looked back, I realized that I would have to support hundreds of subordinates."

“When I was in Mong Kok, I would never have thought about such things.” Silly Qiang realized that something was wrong. “Mong Kok is so lucrative.”

“We don’t need to run anything else. Just collecting protection money is enough to support hundreds of henchmen without any trouble.”

“There is even a surplus.”

“The boss took care of everything in the business before, so I didn’t have to think about anything else.”

"Now……"

Sha Qiang nervously rubbed his hands together.

Liang Kun asked Wang Dao:
"What percentage of the properties in Sham Shui Po... can Sha Qiang inherit?"

Wang Dao replied without hesitation:
"Thirty percent!"

"The former boss of Sham Shui Po was a beautiful mother who mainly ran a brothel business."

“Fenglou is ultimately a low-class establishment, so as soon as she had the opportunity to expand into Portland Street, she immediately made an exchange.”

"From a financial perspective, it seems like she got the better deal."

"However, none of us brothers want to be the stable boy, so handing it over to the pretty mother would be a win-win situation."

Liang Kun pointed at Sha Qiang and said:
"Then you'll have to find him a way to make a living."

Silly and powerful are overjoyed:

"Thank you very much, boss. Thank you very much, Brother Dao."

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

“Sham Shui Po’s economic strength cannot compare with Mong Kok, but they have their own advantages, namely the port.”

Sha Qiang was startled:
"Brother Dao, that port belongs to all the foreign firms. We dare not do anything on their territory."

"You've got no ambition." Wang Dao glared at Sha Qiang.

Sha Qiang felt very wronged; he really didn't dare.

Wang Dao said to Sha Qiang:
“Sham Shui Po is very important to us; it is part of our group’s plans.”

"However, Sham Shui Po is still underdeveloped and doesn't have much money right now."

"Okay, I'll figure out a way to get you some money later."

"Just settle down there and put down roots."

"If you encounter any problems, find Ah Niu, Jianjun, Yaowen, and others."

Sha Qiang nodded quickly:

"Thank you very much, boss. Thank you very much, Brother Dao."

Liang Kun said to him:

"Alright, do a good job, don't embarrass me."

Sha Qiang grinned foolishly before taking his leave.

"Aren't we going to tell Ah Qiang about our plans?" Liang Kun frowned.

Wang Dao said seriously, "It's not a good idea to tell him now."

“In this business, there aren’t many educated people,” Wang Dao explained. “Educated employees know the vision and can determine whether we are going to achieve that vision through our actions.”

“Ah Qiang and the others don’t have such strong discernment. They can only see what’s in front of them. Describing the group’s vision to them is like drawing a pie in the sky. They won’t buy into that.”

"They might become alienated from us."

Leung Kwan agrees with the kingly way:

"Do you have a way to get him a business deal?"

Wang Dao smiled:
"There was no way before, but now there is absolutely no problem."

Liang Kun exclaimed in surprise:
"for example?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"For example, minibuses."

Liang Kun was taken aback:
"It's very troublesome to do this."

Some people say, "It's just setting up a minibus route, what's the big deal?"

The problem is that there are too many triads in Hong Kong now.

There are three to five gangs on a single street, which gives you an idea of ​​just how many gangsters there are.

If a minibus route is to be opened, it will have to run all over Hong Kong.

Once you start running, you'll inevitably pass through other people's territory.

If not handled properly, the minibus won't be able to move, and a fight might break out instead.

"We won't do anything big, just Kowloon."

Wang Dao explained.
"In West Kowloon, we've taken Yau Tsim Mong, and Sham Shui Po is also in our hands. In East Kowloon, we have several strongholds."

“Our branch alone can operate more than one minibus route.”

"However, for a minibus route to operate successfully, it must obtain a license and permission from each of the various groups."

"This is perfect for us to raise our younger brother."

Liang Kun nodded slightly:

"So what if you kill your friends!"

"Since it's unavoidable, let's just have a fight."

"We're not afraid of our friends."

Since Wang Jianjun and his men displayed their prowess some time ago, Liang Kun's confidence has soared.

With thirty elite warriors at my command, why would I be afraid of you bunch of short mules?

Liang Kun did something outrageous: almost everyone under Wang Jianjun's command received a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, in addition to the income from the gang's operations—30,000 yuan for Wang Jianjun alone.

This made Wang Jianjun and others listen to him without question.

Liang Kun was quite spirited. "If you want to fight, I don't mind letting Wang Jianjun go out and practice!"
Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Such a powerful weapon is not needed right now,"

“I’ve thought about it carefully, and there are a lot of business opportunities that I can do with A-Qiang.”

"What kind of businesses are they?" Liang Kun asked with great curiosity.

Wang Dao counted on his fingers and said:

“Hey, we need to set up our movie theater network. We can build two there with Qiang.”

“It’s no problem for a movie theater to support twenty underlings.”

Handsome Kun frowned and said:
"Is it a little less?"

"Don't be in such a hurry!" Wang Dao laughed. "There's a business that no gang should be competing for right now."

"Is there still anyone competing for this business?" Handsome Kun expressed disbelief!
Wang Dao chuckled and said, "A bento box!"

Liang Kun asked in astonishment, "Qiang went to sell lunch boxes?"

"Brother Kun, there's something wrong with your thinking. Do you look down on lunch boxes?" Wang Dao was both amused and exasperated. Liang Kun had only been enjoying a few good days, and he dared to look down on lunch boxes.
Did you know that before Wang Dao's time travel, Hong Kong triads were also selling boxed lunches?

“Boxed meals are sold at low profit margins and high volume, so it seems like you can’t make much money per meal…” Wang Dao looked at Liang Kun with a half-smile, “But once a monopoly is formed, it will be an astronomical figure.”

"If you master any one of the four basic necessities of life—clothing, food, housing, and transportation—you can earn an incredible amount of income!"

"If A-Qiang does a good job, he'll be stuffed!"

Handsome Kun immediately became interested:

"really?"

Wang Dao curled his lip:
"You still have doubts about such a good business? I'm even thinking of doing it myself."

Handsome Kun laughed loudly:

"In that case, it's a good deal for that idiot Qiang!"

Wang Dao nodded without hesitation:
"That's right, this guy has to treat me to dinner later."

"Look, bento boxes and funeral services are big businesses that won't cause any major troubles but are guaranteed to make money."

Handsome Kun remained silent. Just then, Chan Wing-yan came in to report:

"Boss, big boss, Gu Xiaoyu from Hong'an is here."

Handsome Kun waved his hand and said:
"Invite him in!"

Gu Xiaoyu arrived with a suitcase and respectfully addressed Liang Kun:
"Greetings, Brother Kun."

Lam Kwan waved his hand:
"Hey, you're the future leader of Hong'an, we can just keep to ourselves."

Gu Xiaoyu smiled and said:
"Congratulations to Ah Keung, a disciple of Brother Kun, on becoming the head of Sham Shui Po."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"Your information network is quite impressive."

Gu Xiaoyu said enviously:

"Several of my men have been promoted to hall masters after completing their probationary period, but unfortunately they were taken away by the police right after they were promoted."

"It's amazing that none of Brother Kun's men were taken away. That's quite an ability."

Handsome Kun stroked his chin, belatedly realizing what was happening:

"Oh right, it's a pity that Ah-Qiang and the others didn't get to experience the 'warning beating'."

Gu Xiaoyu was dumbfounded. Wasn't escaping the beating meant you were strong? Why did you have to go through with it?

“Agu doesn’t know…” Liang Kun complained, “Back when we were police officers, Hong Hua Ting had just been appointed and would be taken away by police cars as soon as he went out.”

“That’s exactly what happened to me. If it weren’t for Ado’s help, I would have been locked up.”

"Now the police don't use the new generation of big shots anymore. This is a path I've trodden before. Aren't they getting off easy?"

Gu Xiaoyu chuckled dryly:

"The predecessors plant trees so that the successors can enjoy the shade; it's all just like that."

Handsome Kun sighed:

“I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it if you hadn’t brought it up.”

"The rest of us noticed something was wrong a long time ago. The way they looked at you changed after we left the Gathering Hall," Wang Dao complained. "What were you thinking, boss?"

Liang Kun exclaimed in surprise:
"Is there such a thing?"

I'm too lazy to repeat the King's Way.

Liang Kun coughed to cover his embarrassment: "Agu, you've thought this through, haven't you?"

"Yes!" Gu Xiaoyu placed the suitcase on the table, opened it, and turned it to face Liang Kun. "This is Hong An's sincerity, two million!"

Snapped!
Handsome Kun clapped his hands with a smile:
“That’s refreshing!”

"Ado, you should give Agu a proper introduction to the modern operation model of the community."

Gu Xiaoyu perked up. Wasn't this the very thing he wanted to hear about, bringing so much money with him?
“Agu, I know you want to transform now, which is actually to reduce the risk of the gang going bankrupt.”

Gu Xiaoyu sighed:

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Asking the Gu family to give up Hong An? Don't be ridiculous. How could they possibly give up something like that?

Gu Xiaoyu was simply seeking a way to avoid being implicated in the event of a scandal within the club.

This seemed like a fantasy, but Gu Xiaoyu keenly sensed that Wang Dao had such a method.

As Leung Kwan's position in the triad grew, he even orchestrated a major event recently, reshaping the landscape of Yau Tsim Mong.

However, no one suspected anything about Liang Kun.

The police station certainly knew that this was orchestrated by Liang Kun, and the latter did not deliberately hide it from either the police station or the underworld.

Then something funny happened: even under such circumstances, Liang Kun's life was not disrupted!

He eats and drinks as usual, completely unaffected.

The clever Gu Xiaoyu immediately realized that Liang Kun, or rather Wang Dao, had a perfect way to avoid being implicated by the gang.

"Brother Dao, what should I do?" Gu Xiaoyu asked impatiently.

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
"That's simple, just run the club like a company."

Gu Xiaoyu exclaimed in astonishment:

"How exactly does it work?"

“There’s no need to overcomplicate things,” Wang Dao comforted Gu Xiaoyu. “Simply put, you’re focused on running the company and emphasizing club discipline.”

"The company must be engaged in legitimate business, and it doesn't matter what legitimate business you do."

"Then they will control the organization's personnel and finances, and act as a firewall."

"For example, the leaders in the gang will be benchmarked against the middle-level employees of your legitimate businesses, and they don't even need to be your confidants."

Gu Xiaoyu's mouth dropped open:

"Is this okay?"

The kingly way disagrees:

"What's wrong with that? It's just making the club more functional. It will be your most handy tool from now on. Use it when you want to, and throw it aside when you don't."

"Anyway, you have the power to appoint people and manage finances, so there's no need to worry about the organization changing hands."

"If Uncle Zhong has a trustworthy confidant, that would be even better. Just let him be the head of the gang and manage the gang on behalf of your Gu family."

"Your Gu family will become prominent merchants in the legitimate world from now on!"

"In this way, the black and white are separated, but the position of any middle-level employee in the Gu family is higher than that of the head of the gang."

"So what if the police wipe out the entire gang?"

"With the support of your Gu family's enormous financial resources, rebuilding Hong'an would be a piece of cake."

Gu Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she looked at Wang Dao in disbelief:

"Listening to you is better than ten years of reading!"

Wang Dao casually pulled out a small notebook and tossed it to Gu Xiaoyu.

"What is this?" Gu Xiaoyu asked, puzzled.

Wang Dao smiled and said, "In business, you have to satisfy your customers."

"Don't think I swindled you out of two million with just a few words. There's a detailed plan here."

“My Gu family wouldn’t be so superficial,” Gu Xiaoyu said frankly. “Those few words alone are enough to earn two million.”

Wang Dao laughed heartily and said:
"I knew Agu was an interesting guy."

"Brother Kun, Brother Dao, I received your precious gifts. I need to hurry home." Gu Xiaoyu said earnestly, "If I'm any later, I won't be able to get back."

Liang Kun's Strange Path:

"What happened?"

"Would you like some help?"

"N-nothing...it's nothing..." Gu Xiaoyu said rather embarrassedly, "I think I've become a celebrity!"

Liang Kun was speechless.

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"I told you, you'd be a big star."

Gu Xiaoyu sighed:
“When you said that, we didn’t take it seriously, but now we realize that your abilities far surpass ours.”

"We are already smart to be able to deduce things five steps ahead based on known conditions."

"But your vision extends much further than ours; it's probably looking dozens of steps ahead..."

"Alright, alright!" Wang Dao interrupted Gu Xiaoyu. "Stop flattering me. If you really care, treating me and Brother Kun to a meal would be much better than anything else."

Gu Xiaoyu was overjoyed: "I couldn't be happier!"

He immediately arranged to have dinner with us, and then thanked us profusely before leaving.

Liang Kun's Strange Path:

How did you come up with this method?

Wang Dao asked, puzzled, "What?"

“I mean the method of separating black and white,” Liang Kun pressed.

Wang Dao asked in astonishment, "You don't know?"

Liang Kun rolled his eyes. If only he had known earlier that this method could lead to university studies.

Wang Dao sighed: "Brother Kun, we need to strengthen our intelligence work."

"This method has been used for a long time."

Liang Kun's eyes widened in disbelief.
Who has used it?

Wang Dao shrugged:

"New record!"

Liang Kun frowned and said, "I seem to remember you saying that if the gang were to be managed like a company, the gang's cohesion and combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced."

"But..." He looked at Wang Dao with a puzzled expression, "Xinji was beaten so badly by us that they couldn't fight back at all. Is this approach really feasible?"

Wang Dao almost laughed out of anger: "Brother Kun, you really know how to find someone to compare yourself to."

"Who were the main forces behind our operation a few days ago? Were they the men of Sha Qiang and A Niu? Or were they the elite troops supported by the Binni brothers?"

"neither!"

"That was a platoon of elite soldiers led by Jianjun!"

"You're comparing the fighting ability of those gangsters to theirs?"

"You really know how to find people to compare yourself to!"

"Let alone these short mules, even if the Hong Kong garrison came, they could only stare helplessly."

“Let me tell you this: if Jianjun leads his platoon to attack any gang, they have no choice but to kneel down and sing ‘Conquer.’”

After thinking about it, Liang Kun found it funny himself!

That's right.

He had witnessed firsthand the fighting strength of Wang Jianjun's platoon. Judging Wang Jianjun and his men by the fighting strength of Xinji Gang, they were really giving Xinji a lot of credit!

"Ah Qiang has gone to Sham Shui Po. Our gang's influence needs to be redistributed. What should we do?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"How about you behave yourself?!"
