Hong Kong variety show: Hung Hing, are you contributing to society?

After Jimmy and Crow successfully incorporated the Cheung Yee Society, Lam Yiu-tung didn't rest on his laurels and continued to use the same old tactics to suppress the other triads in Causeway Bay.

Contact Situ Jie to have the police sweep the streets, and then Lin Yaodong will come forward to talk.

The foreign section chief started to complain because the actions were too frequent.

He just wanted to stay peacefully for a few years, make enough money, and then run away in 97.

Lin Yaodong originally wanted Situ Jie to introduce him to the foreign director, Johnson.

But the foreigners looked down on us and were unwilling to lower themselves to associate with the "Young and Dangerous" gangsters.

Fortunately, by this time, Causeway Bay had been largely taken over by Lam Yiu-tung.

Among the scattered triads in Causeway Bay, there were those like Ho Yung who recognized the situation and accepted the "arrangements," while there were also those who wanted to oppose Lam Yiu-tung.

But with Lam Yiu-tung colluding with the police, those triads either had to withdraw from Causeway Bay or cooperate with him.

With such a large-scale operation, most of the triad leaders realized that Lam Yiu-tung was planning to create a "uniform" gang in Causeway Bay.

This is a uniform color that belongs exclusively to Lin Yaodong.

Although it seems that the entire Causeway Bay has been taken over by Lam Yiu-tung, upon closer inspection, it appears that the scattered gangs that joined did not suffer any major losses; at most, some of their shady activities were restrained.

Interests and territory don't seem to have been affected much; on the contrary, with improved security, business is even better.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that those leaders also managed their own territories; in reality, the people truly in charge were all Lin Yaodong's men.

Of course, some people saw through this, but they still made money, and Lin Yaodong wouldn't skimp on their earnings.

Moreover, and most importantly, the money is 'clean'.

Unlike before, when a core member of a club would sleep in a tenement building with cash stuffed under the mattress and nowhere to use it.

As for those small gangs that wanted to rebel, they were naturally powerless to stop Lin Yaodong.

They only had two choices: either leave Causeway Bay or join.

It's said there are two options, but in reality there's only one.

Leaving Causeway Bay means they'll have to scavenge for territory elsewhere to survive.

Having finally achieved this status, where they can lie down and leech off the neighbors and shops, why would they still want to go out and fight?

Therefore, the idea of ​​going out to retake territory is directly rejected.

In that case, only joining remains.

This allowed Lin Yaodong's team to expand smoothly until they cleared out the last piece of territory.

The other party claimed to be from the Ni family.

It was at this time that the Westerner, Johnson, intervened.

Since the Ni family's business had been "laundered" by Ni Yongxiao, the police couldn't just sweep it up like they would other triads' brothels, gambling dens, or illegally operating nightclubs.

Therefore, Lam Yiu-tung's property company stopped expanding to this last piece of land near Tsim Sha Tsui.

.....

November 28, Friday, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island.

Lin Yaodong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the "Yaodong Group" building, overlooking the gradually awakening neighborhood.

Downstairs at the street corner, several cleaners wearing blue uniforms with armbands embroidered with the words "Yaodong Property" were sweeping the street.

Two months ago, this street was piled with garbage and the walls were covered with various community "territory markings," but now it is so clean that it doesn't look like a street on Hong Kong Island.

"Brother Dong, the Changyi Society has been completely integrated." The office door was pushed open, and Gao Jin walked in, holding a document in his hand.

Lin Yaodong turned around, took the document, and flipped through it: "He Yong has no objections?"

"What objection would he dare to have?" Gao Jin said calmly.

Lin Yaodong smiled slightly and walked to the large mahogany desk to sit down.

A map of Causeway Bay was spread out on the table, with more than a dozen areas circled in red.

He picked up his pen and put a checkmark on the territory of the "Changyi Society".

Now, only one blank area remains on the entire map—the northwest corner of Causeway Bay, the block near the entrance to the Hung Hom Tunnel.

"How's Situ Jie doing?" Lin Yaodong asked.

"Last night, the police operation arrested 47 people, seized HK$300,000 in cash, and a batch of 'flour'." Gao Jin paused, "However, Situ Jie said that the Commissioner was a little unhappy and asked why the cleanup operations in Causeway Bay have been so frequent lately."

Lin Yaodong took off his glasses and gently wiped them with a soft cloth: "Is it that foreign director Johnson again?"

"Yes. Situ Jie said that Director Johnson just wants to stay peacefully until 97, make enough money and leave, and doesn't want to cause too much trouble." Gao Jin paused, "Especially now that you are running for Congress, he is worried about the pressure from public opinion."

"Make the arrangements," Lin Yaodong put his glasses back on, "have Situ Jie introduce me to Director Johnson; I'd like to have dinner with him."

Gao Jin nodded, but added, "Situ Jie said that Johnson... looks down on Chinese people, and even more so on triads. Jiang Tiansheng wanted to invite him to dinner before, but was directly rejected."

Lin Yaodong remained silent for a moment, then opened a drawer, made a feint, and produced a beautifully printed card out of thin air.

Those are prize tickets from the "Hong Kong Jockey Club".

"Take this prize ticket and have Situ Jie pass it on," Lin Yaodong said. "Tell Situ Jie that it's a gift from a friend, anonymous, and can be redeemed anytime."

Gao Jin took the prize ticket, looked at the numbers on it, and his eyes twitched almost imperceptibly.

Two million Hong Kong dollars....

"Brother Dong, is this... worth it?" Gao Jin asked.

"It's worth it." Lin Yaodong stood up and walked back to the window. "Once Causeway Bay is completely cleared out, the property management company's monthly income alone will be more than that. More importantly..."

He turned around, a sharp glint in his eyes behind his glasses. "I need a window of time when the police don't cause trouble. Once Causeway Bay is completely under my control, and I set the rules, then it won't be Johnson who has the final say."

Gao Jin understood.

He put away the prize ticket and was about to leave when Lin Yaodong called him back.

"Are Chan Ho-nam and the others coming back today?"

"The ship departs this afternoon. Jiao Pi's injuries are too severe; he'll need to recuperate in New Australia for two more months," Gao Jin replied.

Lin Yaodong nodded: "Reserve a table at 'Fu Gui Restaurant' tonight to welcome Hao Nan. Invite Brother B, Ah Ren, Jian Qiu, and our own people."

"Yes."

After Gao Jin left, Lin Yaodong stood alone in his office for a long time.

Outside the window, the streets of Causeway Bay gradually came alive.

Taxis, buses, and pedestrians come and go, creating a bustling scene.

But Lin Yaodong knew how many undercurrents were surging beneath this prosperity.

He recalled that just three months ago, he was merely a subordinate of Boss B...

Now, he has returned to Causeway Bay, ostensibly to "help Boss B walk the right path," but in reality, he wants to turn the entire Causeway Bay into his own kingdom.

"All of them..." Lin Yaodong murmured the word, a smile playing on his lips.

"One-size-fits-all" means that a region is completely controlled by one organization, and other forces are not allowed to interfere.

But what Lin Yaodong wanted was different – ​​he didn't want simple triad control, but complete control from the underground to the surface, from illegal to legal, from the streets to the business world.

He wants to be the sole rule-maker in Causeway Bay.
