Hong Kong Film: Short mules have no future, I am in charge of Hong Kong

Chapter 11 As long as I have it, I will lend it to you
The family of three lived in a shanty town less than 200 feet in size, and lived a very tight life.

Jimmie's mother couldn't stand the poverty anymore, so she ran away with a Chinese from the Philippines when Jimmie was just weaned, and there has been no news of her since.

Such tragic stories were commonplace, and happened countless times every month in the squatter areas of Hong Kong Island.

Maybe it’s because of the influence of my family environment, or maybe it’s because I’ve been helping my father run his business since I was a child.

This resulted in Jimmy having a morbid obsession with making money.

Two and a half years ago, Jimmy, who had just turned 17, was doing some small business in the housing estate. He was taken advantage of by a group of thugs who took turns to collect protection money every month. Unable to bear it any longer, he joined the gang when He Liansheng was recruiting new members.

Coincidentally, the big boss he worshipped at that time was also Guan Zaisen.

Later, because Jimmy was good at accounting, Guan Zaisen arranged for him to work in the financial company opened by Long Gen to manage the monthly accounts of some usurious income and expenditure.

At that time, Su Hanze was responsible for finding people with knives to collect debts violently, while Jimmy was in the office of the financial company, handing him IOUs from the company day after day.

Also, because of Jimmy, he joined the society just to find a backer so that he could run his business safely and securely.

Therefore, I seldom interact with these gangsters.

The two of them were actually not very familiar with each other and could be considered just nodding acquaintances.

As for why Su Hanze values ​​Jimmy so much?

Nonsense, this guy is a man who is qualified to negotiate with Director Shi from the mainland in the future.

Now that I have come across such a talented player, there is no reason for me not to think of a way to get him as soon as possible!
Su Hanze gave Guan Zaisen some money for the taxi fare and asked him to call Jimmy and tell him not to pick him up.

After watching Guan Zaisen get into the car and leave, Su Hanze also stopped a taxi.

At 10:30 in the morning, in Lai Chi Kok, inside a VCD store without a sign.

Jimmy, with his hair combed neatly, was sitting behind the counter, holding a register and writing something on it.

There was a large crowd gathered in front of the counter.

There were gangsters with dragons and phoenixes carved on their arms, students of sixteen or seventeen, elderly uncles from the neighborhood, and a few teenage girls sitting at the door, pointing at Jimmy with infatuated eyes and whispering to each other.

"Niu Shifei, fuck you, look at this CD, your fingerprints are all over it!
If you do this, I won’t refund your deposit next time you come to rent a disc!
I picked the picture of the sexy ghost looking for love that you gave me last time. I tried to play it, and the two pairs of waves of the female ghost were stuck into mosaics!"

Jimmy opened the drawer and took out ten dollars and threw it on the table.

A gangster took the money and said with a smile: "Brother Jimmy, please don't call me Cow Shit Flying.

This is my first year out here, and if you give me this nickname, how am I going to get out there in the future?"

Jimmy looked up at the gangster and joked.

“There are only wrong names, but no wrong flower names.

Just like you, He Zhifei, you always mess up my CDs and refuse to compensate me, you are so stinky and shitty!

If you mind this nickname, just work hard. When you become successful, who will dare to call you bullshit anymore? "

The gangster held the money and waved his hands helplessly.

"Brother Jimmy, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. The boss is waiting for me to start work. See you later. Next time you have something good, remember to let me know!"

After the gangster left, an old man in his fifties came to the counter.

He lowered his voice and asked Jimmy, "Young man, where is that sexy ghost who was looking for love just now?

Can you take it out and show it to me?"

Jimmy rolled his eyes at the old man and said jokingly.

"No, the goods have all been packed and shipped to Southeast Asia!
Uncle, if you are interested, I have more exciting ones from Japan, all of them are real military fights.

But you have to let me finish my work first and don't cut in line, okay?"

As he spoke, Jimmy waved to a student behind the old man, and the student handed a box of CDs to the counter.

The old man felt bored and walked towards the counter full of goods to look for the disc he liked.

"Brother Jimmy, can you rent me the disc of the real military fight? I'll pay double the price!"

The student boy wearing glasses asked Jimmy boy shamelessly.

Jimmy simply took back the disc and returned the deposit.

At the same time, he waved his finger and said, "No! If I rent this kind of thing to you, Sir will come to me for tea!

"You are so lewd at such a young age, what will happen when you grow up?"

...After Jimmy collected all the rented discs at the agreed time, he couldn't help but sit comfortably in the chair and stretch.

He is also happy to earn this kind of small profit.

And I didn't feel any fatigue at all.

The process of doing business is a real pleasure for him.

"Jun, go get me a cup of iced lemon tea. After I drink it, it's your turn to start working."

Just when Jimmy was about to hand over the business to the guys he hired in the store, a tall, stern-faced man strode into the store.

This caused the group of crazy girls outside to scream in surprise again.

He walked straight towards the counter and greeted Jimmy as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Jimmy, long time no see."

Jimmy looked at the person in front of him, a little hesitant.

After a few seconds, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"I choose, Brother Ze!"

Jimmy hurriedly came out from behind the counter, took out a box of Seven Stars from his pocket, and quickly handed one to Su Hanze.

He put away the cigarette box and lit the cigarette with his palm, all in one go, as skillfully as he had done back then.

When he lit the cigarette, Jimmy couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Brother Ze, I heard yesterday that you came back from the Netherlands, and the first thing you did was to take away the fish killing morning.

We were good friends back then, so I didn't offend you in any way, did I?"

Su Hanze smiled while holding a cigarette: "Jimmy, if I wanted to shave you, I shouldn't be the one coming to see you now.

Why, you don't welcome me here?"

"Welcome, of course!

When I started working in Shamshuipo, I always came to you, Brother Ze, to help me with any problems I encountered. To be honest, I still owe you a lot of favors.

No matter what Grandpa and the others say about you, I, Jimmy, will always be your brother!"

Su Hanze didn't take these bland remarks to heart.

He just said, "Are you free? Let's go out and find a place to talk?"

Lai Chi Kok Xiang Yu Ice House, second floor, a corner by the window.

Jimmy ordered his food downstairs, then rushed to the second floor and sat opposite Su Hanze.

Su Hanze was the first to open the conversation.

"Jimmy, I heard that you have been doing well in the past two years.

Why do you still run a pirated VCD store like this? Is it profitable?"

Jimmy smiled while holding a cup of iced lemon tea and answered frankly.

“Brother Ze, you are used to making a lot of money, and you don’t understand the difficulties of us small business owners.

Although I have learned some tricks and am doing some smuggling by borrowing boats, the route is not safe. One day, this CD store may become my last resort.

Besides, Cheng Bo is so rich. Didn’t he also start out in a plastic flower factory?
Many businesses, many paths. "

Su Hanze knew Jimmy's character very well. This man was terrifyingly wise.

Although he is in the underworld, he longs to escape from it.

The society is just a stepping stone on his road to success. Compared with those gangsters who are always trying to get ahead, he is much smarter.

Although he knew that Jimmy would never seek trouble by switching sides from Heliansheng to join him, Su Hanze still wanted to test his attitude.

"Jimmy, I came to see you today for something very simple."

Jimmy nodded and placed the iced lemon tea in his hand on the table.

He said, "No problem, Brother Ze, just tell me the amount, as long as I have it, I will definitely lend it to you!"
