Hong Kong variety show: This gangster is so wicked he's practically wicked.

Chapter 70: Tell me, is it legal for me to collect property management fees? (Chapter 68 is blocked, read it later)

Ruby took a few steps and looked in the direction Xiao Fu pointed, where she saw the car that Gao Qiang had bought at the beginning.

She smiled and said, "You're finally back, otherwise things would have been a disaster."

The shop owners in the surrounding area gathered around.

Gao Qiang has held his ground for more than seven days; today is the day they pay their protection money.

It'll have to be paid sooner or later; it wouldn't look good if Gao Qiang brought people to collect it.

If you hand it over to him now, you can at least become familiar with him.

Moreover, Gao Qiang said a few days ago that he would not refuse to help anyone who needed it on the day of property fee payment.

Gao Qiang got out of the car, and Ruby came over to greet him: "Brother Qiang, go and say hello to Uncle Longgen and Uncle Lei first."

As she spoke, she brushed the dust off her high-strength jacket.

"it is good."

Gao Qiang had just agreed and was about to walk inside.

"I came out by myself."

Longgen walked slowly out of the shop with his hands behind his back.

Behind him were Jimmy, Guan Zai Sen, and Ali.

These were the key members of the Yau Ma Tei branch.

The scale of the event was maximized for Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang hurried over to greet him: "Uncle Longgen, you've been waiting for a long time."

"Soon, today is the opening of your new store, I'll wait as long as it takes."

Longgen took the pipe out of his mouth and patted his chest.

Then he introduced Lao Gui Lei, who was standing next to Gao Qiang, to him, "This is Lao Gui Lei, you should call him Uncle Lei. He retired along with Uncle Deng."

Long Gen implied that Gao Qiang and Lao Guiyi were Deng Wei's men and that they had come today with Deng Wei's mission.

"Uncle Yi, it's an honor to meet you," Gao Qiang greeted him.

The old ghost smiled and nodded in response.

"Uncle Longgen, Uncle Yi, Brother Qiang, shall we begin the ceremony?"

Ruby, standing behind Gao Qiang, tapped her wristwatch and said.

"Okay." Longgen nodded.

He was very satisfied with the respect shown to him by the strong woman.

"A-Chan".

Ruby shouted into the house and gave an OK sign.

Achan led a dozen or so pretty girls out in a trot.

In front of the martial arts school, a beautiful woman performed a sexy dance, striking alluring poses.

The neighbors were blushing with embarrassment at the sight.

The old man was drooling, and some of the hot-tempered men even had nosebleeds.

The old woman quickly covered her husband's eyes with one hand and her grandson's eyes with the other.

"Ah Qiang, your routine is definitely more interesting than dragon and lion dances."

Longgen watched intently.

Gao Qiang chuckled coldly. To receive affirmation from Long Gen, a senior LSP, meant that he was truly excellent.

These movements were all carefully instructed by Gao Qiang; he was forced to learn them on Douyin in his previous life.

"Brother Qiang, what name did you give the martial arts school?"

Ali, standing nearby, curiously pointed to the signboard covered with a red cloth on top.

"You'll find out soon enough," Gao Qiang said, leaving the audience in suspense.

"Uncle Longgen, Brother Qiang, it's time to put up the plaque," Ruby reminded them.

The group snapped out of their daze.

"Uncle Longgen, Uncle Yi, you two pull the top plaque, and Asen and I will pull the side plaques," Gao Qiang instructed.

Longgen declined, saying, "It wouldn't be appropriate for me to put up the signboard today since it's your opening day."

"Perfect, very perfect."

Gao Qiang gently nudged Long Gen and Lao Guiyi's backs, and they accepted with smiles on their faces.

However, when Long Gen saw Guan Zai Sen lying there dumbfounded, he became angry again.

If it weren't for the fact that today is Gao Qiang's special day, I would definitely beat him up.

Longgen and Laogui held onto the two ends of the red silk on the top plaque.

Gao Qiang and Guan Zisen grabbed him together, while Tie Bi and the others put their hands on his shoulders.

Cao Dahua held incense in his hand and, with Da Hong by his side, prepared to set off firecrackers.

"The auspicious time has arrived!" Ruby shouted.

Longgen and Gaoqiang exchanged a smile, then pulled at the same time, and the sound of firecrackers rang out.

Two signs appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone looked at the plaque above and read it aloud, word by word: "Qiangsheng Martial Arts School".

My gaze then turned to the side plaque next to Gao Qiang: "Qiangsheng Property Management Co., Ltd."

"That's a pretty imposing name," the neighbors murmured.

"Uncle Longgen, please come in. Neighbors, please come in."

Gao Qiang led everyone into the martial arts hall for a visit.

All that could be seen was the open space of the martial arts school.

Ah-Ji was accompanied by several tall and handsome brothers.

They wore dress pants and gray jackets, standing with their hands behind their backs in a six-by-six formation.

Aji's blond hair was even forced by Gao Qiang to be dyed black and cut short.

After the crowd of onlookers surrounded the martial arts school in layers.

Aji grinned smugly, then suddenly shouted, "I'll hit!"

The entire room fell silent, all eyes turning to the center of the martial arts hall.

Gao Qiang and the others: "————"

That line wasn't originally in the script; the show started once everyone was present.

Ah Ji is adding drama to his life again.

"I'll hit you!"

He shouted again, and then the men behind him all pulled out nunchucks from their waists and held them in front of them with one hand.

Yes, that's right, nunchucks, not batons.

In this era, Bruce Lee is the biggest star in Hong Kong.

Then, Ah-Ji loosened one section of the stick and rotated his wrist, causing the stick to spin at high speed.

Then, under the admiring gazes of the crowd, he used Bruce Lee's classic armpit switch move.

In the quiet martial arts school, the only sounds were the clanging of iron bars and connecting chains, and the whooshing sound of something cutting through the air.

The neighbors watched Ah-Ji's smooth combo moves and the dozen or so people behind him with awe and wonder.

With the final shout: "I'll hit!"

Ah Ji put away his stick, stood still, and cupped his hands in greeting: "What is the slogan of Qiangsheng Property Management?"

The people behind him shouted along with him: "Protect the owners, serve the owners, respect the owners!"

"Get along well with the homeowners!"

Aji then asked, "What is the service philosophy of Qiangsheng Property Management?"

The person behind him replied, "We are concerned about what the homeowners are concerned about and think from their perspective!"

Thunderous applause erupted inside the martial arts gym.

"Ah Qiang, you really have a lot of capable brothers under your command."

Long Gen pointed at the performers and whispered his praise to Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang laughed and said, "Apart from Aji, none of these people are my people."

"The rest are all hired performers, and they are all professional actors."

The baton is too practical for real combat; it doesn't look good when used.

So Gao Qiang switched to nunchucks.

"Interesting, you young people always have so many clever ideas."

Longgen didn't understand, but he acknowledged Gao Qiang as a person.

Guan Zisen thought to himself, "Protection money is the easiest thing to collect."

You're just showing off your muscles, why make such a fuss?

Just call a few menacing-looking henchmen with dragon and tiger tattoos to the shop and give them a heads-up.

Those who don't know any better are made to sit in the shop; if that doesn't work, they are made to release insects or snakes, or to throw feces or urine on them.

After the performance.

Cao Dahua led the people to the office: "Come, come, pay the property management fee here, it's paid monthly."

Ah-Ji and his dozen or so men helped maintain order at the martial arts school, making sure the owners who came to pay their fees lined up properly.

At this moment, Ruby and Achan were sitting in the office, waiting to receive their money.

"Property management fees?"

Longgen muttered something to himself, then asked疑惑地问道, "Aqiang, what's the difference between this property management fee and protection fee?"

"Uncle Longgen, let's talk in the conference room."

Gao Qiang invited the group to the conference room, and Yi Zai served tea to Long Gen and the others.

Gao Qiang was writing something on the blackboard.

After a moment, he finished writing, turned around and said, "First of all, collecting protection money is a gray income and is illegal."

"But it's legal for me to collect property management fees."

"I get receipts, sign contracts, and pay taxes. When the police come, I have nothing to say."

"I don't need to launder money."

Longgen and Jimmy smiled.

"Once the model is mature, I want to manage every aspect of the territory, from food and drink to basic necessities, in a unified manner."

"We can only do the business ourselves; we don't let outsiders in."

"From large-scale housing rentals and sales, renovations, minibus crossings, to street vending."

"From cleaning, repairs, unclogging, to delivery."

"If you do these things one by one, the profit per item may not be much, but the scale is large, and the total profit is quite considerable."

"Once this area is mature, we'll expand it to the entire Yau Ma Tei area, and even the whole of Hong Kong Island."

"This business is quite large."

"Why sell laundry detergent? It's so risky, you might make money but not live to enjoy it."

"But it's different if you work in property management with me."

Gao Qiang used the same sales pitch he used to fool clients in his previous life, and even mentioned last week's trending topics.

Longgen and Jimmy were caught in the trap, and they were slightly surprised.

"Ah Qiang, I want to ask you, what if the businesses don't pay their property management fees?"

Guan Zisen, who is usually absent-minded, was unusually clear-headed at this moment and immediately grasped the key points.
