Hong Kong variety show: The tycoon who emerged from Portland Street

Thirteen Sister glanced at Chen Mo sideways: "From what you're saying, it seems you're not satisfied with our current leader?"

"I wouldn't say I'm dissatisfied," Chen Mo explained. "It's just that I feel Jiang Tiansheng is good at maintaining the status quo but lacks ambition; he's not a great leader."

Moreover, he is a very suspicious person; working under him would be exhausting.

Jiang Tiansheng was too adept at the art of balancing power and couldn't stand seeing his subordinates grow too powerful.

No matter who it is, once their strength reaches a certain level, they will try to weaken anyone who might threaten their position as leader.

His targeting of Leung Kwan was partly due to Leung Kwan breaking the rules of Hung Hing, but the bigger reason was that Leung Kwan had developed too quickly in recent years and was now capable of threatening his position as the leader.

Once you have the ability to threaten the top position, whether you have the intention to do so is no longer important.

Once suspicion arises, the charge has already been established.

"You're right, I feel the same way."

I didn't expect you to be so accurate in identifying the dragon's head. You're truly my little brother, so clever.

Thirteen Sister also agreed with Chen Mo's opinion of Jiang Tiansheng.

She had been the boss of Portland Street for several years, and had far more contact with Jiang Tiansheng than Chen Mo, so her understanding of Jiang Tiansheng was naturally much deeper.

Chen Mo rolled his eyes at Thirteen Sister. She was so narcissistic, praising others while also praising herself.

Having finished speaking, Chen Mo prepared to leave.

As Chen Mo reached the door, he remembered that he hadn't mentioned buying a car for Thirteen Sister.

Turning to her, she said, "Sister, I've prepared a gift for you. It will arrive tomorrow, so be sure to receive it!"

Thirteen Sister was just about to ask Chen Mo what the gift was when she found that Chen Mo had already left.

"Damn, they didn't even say what the gift was, all this mystery!"

When Chen Mo returned to the Sands Nightclub, the office had already been tidied up.

Apart from the fact that there is one less rest room, it is not much different from the original one.

Nightclubs are now starting to get more customers.

Chen Mo didn't see Ruby; she was probably busy with Wei Jixiang's affairs.

He told Huang Bingyao about the videotape factory, and figured Wei Jixiang should have been arrested by now.

Whether he will be able to get out of the police station is hard to say.

Now that Piyanmei and Hongtai Taizi are both dead, the legal representative of that videotape factory is Wei Jixiang.

Even if those henchmen involved in the drug trafficking are caught, they will probably just shift the blame onto Wei Jixiang to lessen their own responsibility.

Wai Cheung-keung is probably going to be held responsible for this, and he'll likely be stuck in Stanley for at least a decade.

Of course, Chen Mo didn't care about Wei Jixiang's fate.

Wei Jixiang may have been a talented person in the past, but now he's a failure.

A useless Wei Jixiang is not worth Chen Mo wasting any energy on.

Chen Mo called Gao Jin over.

"Ah Jin, how are things at the various venues tonight? Have any other gangs come to cause trouble?"

"No, it's just that a few fellow cultivators secretly left their powder, and they've already been chased away."

"That's good. Tell the people below to follow the same rules as on Portland Street."

"Anyone found handling toxic substances in our factory, even if they're a customer, will have their arm broken and be thrown out."

"good!"

Gao Jin had no objection to this; they used to do the same thing at the Chinatown nightclub.

Hung Hing's long-standing rule is to avoid drugs.

However, Chen Mo's rules were stricter. Not only were people from other gangs not allowed to sell drugs or pills in the venue, but customers were also not allowed to bring their own.

"By the way, hand over those mahjong parlors in your territory to your subordinate, that guy called Da Dou."

This person is good, quite clever. See if you can train them. Don't do everything yourself; it's exhausting.

Also, could you help me find someone else?

There's this guy named Jimmy in Lian Sheng, I think his real name is Li Jiayuan or Li Jiayuan. Could you look him up for me and see what he's been up to lately?

"it is good."

Although Gao Jin didn't know why Chen Mo wanted to find this Jimmy, he did whatever Chen Mo instructed him to do.

Chen Mo had gotten used to assigning tasks to Gao Jin whenever something happened; there was no other way, Gao Jin was the only one he could trust to get things done.

But you can't do that again.

With the territory expanded, it's impossible to place all the burdens on Gao Jin.

Chen Mo didn't like doing everything himself, so he could only find more people to help Gao Jin with his workload.

Now, Da Tou manages the bar, Da Dou manages the mahjong parlor, and Gao Jin also has two nightclubs and protection money for the whole street to manage, so it's quite tiring.

Chen Mo will definitely start a legitimate business in the future, and there will be more and more things to do.

It will take some time before the people Chen Mo met in Stanley come out.

During this period, we can only try our best to recruit other talents.

For example, if you're doing business, you'll definitely need to find Jimmy.

Currently, there are hundreds of shops of all sizes on the Women's Street, most of which cater to women's businesses, selling all kinds of clothes and bags.

However, most of the customers who come here just browse and don't buy anything.

The main problem is that the products in these brand stores are too expensive.

Currently, most people on Hong Kong Island don't earn much; a white-collar worker's salary is only around two to three thousand dollars.

Many people may not even earn enough in a month to buy a single branded women's garment.

In this situation, the market for counterfeit clothing is very large.

Currently, the most popular and profitable businesses in Hong Kong Island are finance, real estate, international trade, and jewelry and luxury goods.

Those who can establish themselves in these industries are all wealthy individuals with powerful backgrounds.

In their eyes, even the head of a top-tier gang is no match for them.

Chen Mo's current desire to get involved in these industries is simply wishful thinking.

Those big shots won't cooperate with people who have triad backgrounds.

At most, during demolition work, they would hire a group of gangsters as thugs and go through middlemen to do it, never getting involved themselves.

In their eyes, the gang was no different from a chamber pot.

They use it when they need it, and then complain about how smelly it is.

Chen Mo's strength is not strong enough yet, so he can only work in industries that big businessmen and large organizations don't care about.

The easiest business to get started with is selling counterfeit goods.

While the profit margin for counterfeit goods is high, the initial investment is also substantial.

Hong Kong's triads neither like investing real money nor spending time and effort on management.

They prefer businesses that require no initial investment, or those they are familiar with, such as gambling, prostitution, drugs, and loan sharking. Those with connections may also engage in smuggling.

Like Han Bin, who made a fortune in smuggling by relying on the Kwai Tsing Wharf.

The business of counterfeit clothing is not favored by big businessmen; it's mostly small businessmen doing it now.

For someone like Chen Mo, who was part of a triad, snatching business from these people was incredibly easy.

The main problem now is who will be in charge of this.

Among all the Hong Kong Island triads, Chen Mo couldn't think of anyone else suitable for doing business besides Jimmy.

Fortunately, this matter is not urgent at the moment, and we can take our time to find the right people.

If all else fails, you can train them yourself.

Anyway, Chen Mo said he would never buy enterprise management skills from the system and try to do it himself.

I'd rather die than do that!
