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

Chen Mo hadn't expected that last night's battle would have so many consequences.

After Chen Mo finished his meeting, he unexpectedly received a call from Liang Kun.

"Amo, don't you consider me a brother?! You didn't even call me last night when you were beating up those old bastards Hong Le and Chang Yi!"

Liang Kun pretended to complain on the phone.

"Brother Kun, they're just a bunch of old guys, they don't need you to step in. I've already taken care of them!" Chen Mo said to Liang Kun with enthusiasm.

"You really showed your mettle this time, single-handedly repelling an attack from three triads and driving Hung Lok out of Mong Kok. Do you know what people in the underworld are calling you now?"

"What should I call you?" Chen Mo was genuinely surprised. Did he have a new nickname?

He's been busy with internal matters all day and hasn't paid much attention to external news.

"You're the Overlord! Last night, you killed Madman Hui with a single stroke, then used two men as weapons, flinging them all over the place. You're the reincarnation of the Chu Overlord!"

"Seriously, Kun-ge? Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Really?! I heard it came from Changyi's underlings. Now, the underlings in Changyi and Changle are terrified of you!"

"That's an exaggeration, Brother Kun. I'm not that good. At most, I can only fight a little bit."

Chen Mo said modestly.

"Seriously, Amer, are you interested in coming over and helping me?"

Liang Kun began to try and win him over.

He hadn't taken Chen Mo seriously before.

At most, they get along alright with Chen Mo because he's a good fighter, and also because of Thirteen Sister.

However, ever since Chen Mo killed Hong Tai, Liang Kun has started to pay more attention to Chen Mo.

It is no easy feat to dismantle a club overnight.

Now Chen Mo has conquered two more streets, and his strength has increased dramatically.

Although he is still far inferior to Liang Kun, he should not be underestimated.

"Brother Kun, you're being too polite. I'm just making a living on your turf, so just let me know if you need anything!"

Chen Mo joked.

If you go and follow Liang Kun now, it's just like joining the National Revolutionary Army in 49.

However, Chen Mo couldn't afford to offend Liang Kun, nor could he refuse too bluntly.

Liang Kun understood the refusal in Chen Mo's words, so he didn't press the matter further, as he had only been testing the waters casually.

"Seriously, you can't refuse to help me in the future! If you ever need any help in Mong Kok, just ask!"

"Don't worry, Kun-ge, I definitely won't hold back!"

At 8 p.m., Gao Jin came to report to Chen Mo.

"Brother Mo, all the underlings have been recruited."

"So fast?"

Chen Mo was greatly surprised.

In the past, we were lucky to recruit a few dozen people a day, but today we managed to recruit over two hundred people through a single recruitment channel.

"What happened last night has already spread throughout the martial arts world. Now, Brother Mo, your reputation is very high, and many Blue Lanterns are coming to join you."

In addition, many people know that our underlings have a base salary, so they are very willing to work for you, Brother Mo.

Chen Mo hadn't expected that last night's battle would bring so many benefits; he figured he wouldn't have to worry about recruiting people anymore.

"Any movement from Hong Le and Changyi Chang Le?"

Chen Mo asked casually.

With everyone in place, Chen Mo felt confident enough to fight them at any time.

"Nothing much is happening. All three gangs are quiet today, showing no signs of gathering manpower."

"Hmm? Doesn't Hong Le want to take their territory back?"

Chen Mo frowned.

Little did he know, Hong Le was now willing but unable to do so.

Hong Le's men suffered heavy losses after two days of fierce fighting.

Especially since Gentleman Wins the Battle of the Dead and Concrete was arrested, many of his underlings' resettlement and medical expenses haven't even been paid yet!

The magic lamp won't pay for it, and neither will Brother Piao.

He wanted to make money in the top position, not to lose money.

Many of the underlings haven't received their money yet. If they're asked to attack Chen Mo again, they might rebel.

Chang Le and Chang Yi were even less willing to participate.

Five hundred people were mobilized last night, but Chen Mo and his one hundred men held them off.

Chen Mo recruited so many people today, and they saw it, so they're even less likely to be able to fight.

However, Chen Mo was unaware of these matters and still gave Gao Jin a heads-up.

Tell the brothers to be careful and take precautions.

For three consecutive days, Chen Mo saw that Hong Le showed no intention of fighting back, and finally believed that Hong Le had given up.

Chen Mo found Da Fei and gave him one million.

"Dafei, this is the agreed price! Any extra is my way of thanking you!"

Dafei's men only fought a few battles when they planted their flag on Laundry Street. After that, they just beat the dog when it was down, and hardly anyone was injured.

In the end, there are still several hundred thousand left over from this million-dollar Dafei.

However, Chen Mo didn't care about that.

Without the men Dafei brought, taking over Laundry Street wouldn't have been so easy.

With his territory now stable and the counterfeit goods business about to begin, Chen Mo will likely never lack money again.

"What, you don't need my people's help anymore?"

These past few days, Dafei and his men have been eating and having fun on Chen Mo's turf, and he doesn't really want to go back to North Point.

"I have plenty of men under my command now, and those old fogies like Hong Le probably won't dare to come back and try to take them. You should just go back to your North Point."

"Damn, Mong Kok is way better than North Point. I don't even want to go back. And with your money so easy to make, I want to make even more!"

Dafei said with a regretful expression.

He brought two hundred underlings with him, but they didn't really fight much; they just raided a few venues.

When they were sweeping through Laundry Street, they made millions just from the Genie Temple.

With the million yuan Chen Mo gave him, Dafei really hit the jackpot this time.

"There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in a few days, and I will definitely let you know when that happens."

After thinking about it, Chen Mo decided to bring Dafei into the business of selling counterfeit goods as well.

Anyway, there are plenty of other people, and not many venues to watch over, so there are plenty of people to sell clothes.

"Really?" Dafei looked incredulous.

Dafei knew perfectly well what kind of people were involved in gangs.

If there's a profitable business, everyone wants to keep it tightly under their wing; how could they possibly share it with others?

"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out in a few days."

Chen Mo smiled but didn't explain.

Anyway, the factory has already started production, and I estimate that finished garments will be available in the next couple of days.

When the time comes, show him the things, and he won't be able to disbelieve you.

Knowing Dafei's personality, he would never let go of an opportunity to make money.

After Dafei left, Chen Mo called for a plane.

"Airplane, tell the brothers that everyone except those who are normally on duty can relax."

"Okay, Brother Mo!" The plane happily went to inform them.

These past few days, Chen Mo's men have been on high alert, preparing to respond to any attacks from Hong Le's men.

Even the plane was exhausted.

Chen Mo tidied up his desk casually and prepared to go downstairs for some leisure time.

His bar has been open for several days, and apart from the opening day, he hasn't had a proper drink at his own bar yet.

I have no idea what the quality of the girls in my own bar is like.

I've been working hard for several days, so I should definitely relax and enjoy myself!
