Chapter 86 An Opportunity
Liang Kun chuckled and said, "This is a little game between the two of us. We used to play it like this when we were kids."
"He was young then, and had a withdrawn personality. He wasn't very friendly with others, but he got along well with me and even dared to snatch things from me."
"Later, when I started out in the underworld, I took him with me so we could look after each other."
"Later, we both made a name for ourselves and our status changed, but our feelings for each other never changed, and this little game of snatching things has been preserved ever since."
"You see him stealing my things, but they're just cheap trinkets."
"Mr. Jiang, I'll tell you a secret."
"These so-called 'collectibles' were actually carefully prepared for Ah Tian by me, and he knows it in his heart."
"However, neither of us said it out loud, and we just played this game in tacit understanding."
Jiang Tiansheng was slightly taken aback, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes: "The relationship between the two of you is truly wonderful."
Liang Kun laughed and said, "Isn't Jiang Sheng's younger brother, Tian Yang, developing his career in Siam? Aren't the brothers just as close as you are?"
"Back then, in order to quell the Babi incident, you didn't hesitate to sacrifice two Golden Triangle routes. This kind of courage is something most people can't do."
Jiang Tiansheng laughed and shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Tianyang and I do have a good relationship, but we brothers live apart for most of the year and only see each other a few times. Unlike you and A-Tian, who are inseparable and support each other."
The two weren't in a hurry to talk about business. Instead, they chatted leisurely like old friends, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
After smoking cigars for a while and chatting about many old stories of the underworld, Brother Kun suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Chiang, what do you think of Big D, who came to see Little B off on behalf of Wo Shing today?"
Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said in a neutral tone, "Big D? The strongest among the nine hall masters of the Wo Shing Wo.
"He's straightforward and says what he thinks. He doesn't like beating around the bush, so he's actually very easy to get along with."
"However, it's really a pity that he's staying in Wo Luen Shing."
So, Liang Kun followed up by saying, "Mr. Jiang, what do you think if I poached him and had him join Hung Hing?"
Jiang Tiansheng didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a second: "You poached Big D?"
"...You mean, you want Big D to leave Wo Luen Shing and join our Hung Hing?"
With a sudden movement, Jiang Tiansheng sat up abruptly from the recliner, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Big D is the most powerful branch leader in the Wo Luen Shing triad, with a large number of men under his command and a vast territory. Moreover, he is a rare talent who dares to fight and take risks."
"You really think you can poach him? That's no easy feat."
Liang Kun laughed heartily, his tone brimming with confidence: "I've noticed that our club's morale has been low lately because of Little B's situation, so I was thinking of poaching Big D to inject some new energy into the club."
Jiang Tiansheng shook his head slightly and said calmly, "The lower-level members of the gang do have some opinions about Siu B's death and feel that we shouldn't let Lei Yaoyang off so easily."
"However, business is business, and the underworld is the underworld. As long as our gang can get better every day, the little B thing will eventually be forgotten by everyone."
"Are you really confident you can poach Big D?"
"If this really works out, it will be a huge boost to the morale of our Hung Hing triad, and could even shake the entire underworld."
With a smile, Liang Kun said, "I've already discussed it with Ah Tian, and we're about 80% confident that this will work out."
"However, Mr. Jiang, it's not enough for Ah Tian and me to work together to accomplish this. As the leader of the gang, you also need to show some sincerity and courage."
Jiang Tiansheng laughed heartily, his tone full of excitement: "I understand what you mean. A talent like Big D deserves our full sincerity."
"He is one of the nine leaders of the Wo Luen Shing triad, controlling all the territory in Tsuen Wan. He is very powerful. If he can bring his territory to join Hung Hing, I will naturally give him the corresponding status and treatment."
"Let me think..."
"That's fine."
"I not only let him continue to be the head of the Tsuen Wan branch, but I also elevated his status and made him the 438, which is the position of the second-route marshal."
Liang Kun immediately gave a thumbs up, his tone full of admiration: "Mr. Jiang is indeed a man of great courage and magnanimity!"
The Second Marshal, also known as the Deputy Mountain Lord, is the deputy leader of a branch of the Hongmen Society. His main responsibility is to assist the leader in handling various affairs of the society.
This position holds power second only to the chief and deputy chief leaders (if a deputy chief leader is appointed), and is highly respected.
If Big D could take this position, it would be equivalent to becoming the sixth most important person in Hung Hing, gaining both prestige and real power.
Of course, this is just an honorary position within the Hung Society system; actual power is still concentrated in the position of the Tsuen Wan Hall Master.
Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand and said seriously, "A talent like Big D deserves the title of Second-Rank Marshal."
"Ah Kun, if you can successfully recruit Big D and make such a great contribution, I will also give you the rank of Second-Rank Marshal as a reward."
Liang Kun quickly waved his hand and said sincerely, "I'm just a lowly member of the gang, mainly responsible for external liaison. Whether I have the title of Second Marshal or not is actually not important."
"I work for you, Mr. Jiang, not for these empty honors, but for your trust and high regard."
"As long as I can gain Mr. Chiang's trust and do more for the gang, I will be satisfied."
Jiang Tiansheng was very satisfied with Liang Kun's statement. He nodded and said seriously, "Your refusal of the title of Second Marshal is a sign of your humility and loyalty, but as the leader, I cannot fail to give you the reward and honor you deserve."
"If you can really poach Big D, I can assure you that Hung Hing will offer you the highest level of treatment."
"I will hold a grand investiture ceremony for him at the Three Saints Palace, officially appointing him as the Second Marshal, so that the entire martial arts world will know the importance and respect that Hung Hing places on Big D."
Liang Kun gave another thumbs up and exclaimed, "So generous! Mr. Jiang, you are truly magnanimous!"
Holding an imperial decree ceremony in front of the Three Saints Palace is an extremely high-level event, requiring not only a large amount of money but also creating a huge impact on the martial arts world.
According to Liang Kun's recollection, almost no gangsters have enjoyed such treatment in recent decades.
Jiang Tiansheng added, "They brought their entire territory of Tsuen Wan to join us, we can't let them suffer a loss."
"The transfer fee will be 6.66 million, for good luck and to show our sincerity."
"Just go ahead and do it. As long as Big D is willing to come, Hung Hing will fully support you in terms of manpower, resources, and finances. We will not be stingy at all."
Liang Kun clapped his hands vigorously, his voice filled with excitement: "With Mr. Jiang saying that, I'm relieved!"
"Leave this to me, I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly for you."
Jiang Tiansheng asked curiously, "Are you that confident? Has Big D already clearly stated that he's willing to join Hung Hing?"
Leung Kwan shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "Tomorrow is the day of the election for the chairman of the Wo Shing Wo. Big D is actually still holding a sliver of hope that he might have a chance to be elected."
Jiang Tiansheng frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of understanding: "He wants to become the head of Wo Luen Shing?"
Leung Kwan chuckled and said, "In a triad like Wo Luen Shing, which elects a new leader every two years, any leader or underling with some power and ambition would want to fight for the position."
"But don't worry, Mr. Jiang, Big D isn't really obsessed with the position of leader. What he really wants is the power to make decisions in his own territory, so he doesn't have to be at the mercy of the council of elders in everything."
Jiang Tiansheng immediately understood Big D's core demand and nodded: "I see..."
"Those old guys who came out of Hetu are still clinging to outdated ideas and are unwilling to delegate authority to young people."
"In the past, they refused to hand over real power to Han Bin, forcing him to leave and join our Hung Hing."
"Now, Wo Shing is unwilling to give Big D enough say, which has angered Big D and given us an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
"These conservative old men will bring down these triads sooner or later!"
