Chapter 340 The Correct Way to Navigate the Martial World
Jiang Tianyang returned to Hong Kong after 10 p.m.

For an ordinary family, that would be quite late.

If these people were in the same situation, would it even be considered a problem?

We're all out here in the real world, who would get up before 10 a.m.?
We're all night owls, so it was a good opportunity for us to get together.

Besides the handsome Lin Feng and the beautiful Shui Ling, there was also Jin Ye Lin Yaochang and Luo Zhiming from Xinliansheng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, it took four and a half hours to fly from Siam to Hong Kong."

"This has taken up everyone's time."

Jiang Tianyang apologized repeatedly.

The Chiang brothers are completely different. Although both are members of society, Chiang Tin-sang gives off an aura of domineering charisma, while Chiang Tin-yang is a shrewd and shrewd businessman.

Clearly, everyone would prefer to be friends with Jiang Tianyang rather than Jiang Tiansheng.

“Hey, you can’t say that.”

"If you want to find a problem, you have to find Ah Feng first!"

"He informed me too late."

"I also have questions. I couldn't wait any longer and just wanted to share this good news with everyone."

Leung Kwan is very open-minded, Chiang Tin-yeung is magnanimous, and Leung Kwan is even more law-abiding.

The two hugged tightly and smiled at each other.

"Judging from the attitudes of the two of you, it is clear that Hung Hing will continue to prosper."

"Seeing only a part of the whole, one can understand why Hung Hing was so powerful."

Jin Ye kept sighing.

Handsome Kun laughed loudly:

"Mr. Jin, you flatter me. Mr. Chiang is the second marshal of Hung Hing."

"To be honest, the three of us from Xinliansheng initially wanted Jiang Sheng to be the third leader."

"It was Jiang Sheng who declined, which is why I was given this position."

"As long as I, Liang Kun, am around, Mr. Jiang's status is the same as mine."

That's not actually the case.

The truth is that Liang Kun had already contacted most of the gang leaders at that time, and if he wanted to, the position of gang leader would not have escaped his grasp.

Lin Feng dissuaded him, saying, "The Chiang family's prestige hasn't completely disappeared yet. If a member of the Chiang family wants to sit in this position, they won't be able to win. First of all, the uncles of Hung Hing won't agree to anyone other than a member of the Chiang family taking this position."

After weighing the options, Liang Kun decisively listened to Lin Feng's advice.

However, why would Jiang Tianyang give up his comfortable life in Siam to suffer in Hong Kong? He's not stupid!
And so, Jiang Tianyang voluntarily stepped down, and Liang Kun smoothly took over.

Of course, when things are said, they will inevitably be embellished.

Jin Ye sighed:
“The Hung Hing has been led by wise and virtuous leaders for three generations, and its prosperity should continue.”

"It's not easy for us gangsters to have three generations of wise leaders."

“Look at Wo Luen Shing, just one fat Deng and Lin Huai Le have ruined Wo Luen Shing.”

"If no capable person emerges, Heliansheng will decline."

He kept shaking his head as he said this.

"Now that all the guests have arrived, let's begin the meal."

Shui Ling interjected at the opportune moment.

"You even prepared a meal for me?" Jiang Tianyang was greatly surprised.

"Mr. Jiang, you don't need to feel guilty. I haven't even had a midnight snack."

Lin Feng sighed.

"The big boss made me drink tea all night!"

Lin Feng only drank a bowl of abalone congee; he didn't eat anything else. This wouldn't be a big deal for most people; it's just missing a meal.

However, Lin Feng was different; he was a martial artist, and a top-tier master at that.

Their demand for blood-based foods is extremely high.

Any master who has achieved mastery of martial arts has an astonishingly large appetite.

Martial arts training is a high-intensity activity and requires proper replenishment.

The saying "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts" originates from this.

In fact, it's not just martial arts training; any high-intensity sport, such as swimming, boxing, basketball, and football, requires meat at every meal.

Fortunately, Lin Feng was young and could withstand the hunger, otherwise he would have been really suffering.

"Oh, is this meal enough for you?" Jiang Tianyang asked with particular concern.

"We can't let our God of Wealth go hungry, no matter who else is," Lin Yaochang chimed in at this moment.

“You two don’t need to worry,” Shui Ling said with a light laugh. “I’ve already arranged meat for him, all of it is well-done beef.”

Shui Ling is becoming more and more accustomed to the role of a lady; arranging meals and entertaining guests is what a lady should do.

She increasingly felt that arranging meals for guests and catering to each guest's preferences was a much more interesting art than the scheming and manipulative aspects of the martial arts world.

"My sister-in-law still loves me the most." Lin Feng clapped his hands and said, "The banquet at the Peninsula Hotel is all about the venue, it's not good value at all."

"I'd rather eat some beef offal at a street food stall and casually tip a few bucks than tip the waiter at the Peninsula Hotel!"

"These dishes look nice, but they're not enough for one person. They're just a sham."

Lin Feng picked up a piece of beef and showed it off. The person who grilled this meat was a true master. It was tender and fresh. He ate it almost one bite at a time, his face beaming with delight.

No one had intended to eat, especially Master Jin, who, being older, needed to take care of his health and naturally ate less in the evening.

However, Lin Feng found it incredibly juicy and sweet.

Everyone watching could feel how delicious the steak was, and they immediately became tempted and ate quite a bit themselves.

"Ah Feng, you can just become a professional escort and drinker, then you won't have to worry about food and drink anymore."

Liang Kun was truly impressed.

"Doing mukbang? That sounds good!" Lin Feng said casually.

"Mukbang? What's that?" Liang Kun wondered to himself, where did his younger brother get so many new terms?

Lin Feng laughed heartily:

"That's what I'm doing now. I eat, and you see how much I enjoy it, so you eat a lot too."

Liang Kun suddenly realized.

"Wow, Hung Hing is really full of talented people."

"In just a few days, our investment has yielded almost double the profit. For quite some time, the headquarters will not have to worry about money."

"People like this are treasures."

"I never expected it to be Ah Feng."

"There's no reason why Hung Hing shouldn't prosper."

“I think Hung Hing will still be thriving in twenty years.”

Jin sighed once again, his envious gaze impossible to conceal.

Lin Yaochang and Luo Zhiming both agreed.

They share the same idea.

"Brother Jin, we're not planning to join the gang anymore." Liang Kun casually said, startling the three members of Xinliansheng!

What does "not joining clubs" mean?

"Is Hung Hing going to disintegrate?"

Jin asked the question on behalf of Lin Yaochang and Luo Zhiming.

"Our group will be restructured into a formal company."

"I will never engage in shady dealings again."

"Hong Kong will be returned to China in a few years. Although our hometown is not taking direct action against Hong Kong, everyone can see our hometown's attitude towards triads."

"If you still want to be involved in gangs, you're just asking for trouble!"

"We don't want to go against our hometown."

"I have no choice but to change careers!"

Liang Kun is very honest. The three people from Xinliansheng are his staunch allies, and this kind of thing needs to be revealed appropriately.

"I wonder how Mr. Li intends to reorganize the organization?"

Luo Zhiming quickly pressed for more information.

Of the three from Xinliansheng, Luo Zhiming's background is different from anyone else present.

He was an undercover agent.

However, three years ago, while doing dirty work for others, he accidentally caused someone's death. Luo Zhiming felt very guilty and took the initiative to take responsibility for Lin Yaochang, serving three years in prison.

Later, due to Lin Feng's scheme, he was unable to return to the police station and could only join gangs.

Deep down, Luo Zhiming always wanted to help the brothers of Xinliansheng clear their names.

Unexpectedly, Hung Hing, which was at the height of its power, also wanted to withdraw.

It's absolutely speechless.

"It's actually quite simple; it's just a matter of integrating all fifteen branches of Hung Hing."

"For example, for fruit baskets, let's create a unified brand,"

"The brand has a unified plan and operation."

"Simply put, in the past, the brothers in the gang worked alone, but now they are working together, so it's naturally different."

"It's not just the fruit market; all the shops shared by the fifteen branches, such as community stores, mahjong parlors, bars, restaurants, cinemas, game arcades, etc., operate in this unified manner."

"We will eventually have to change."

"Otherwise, if the higher-ups decide to thoroughly crack down on organized crime, are we all going to go to jail?"

Liang Kun had studied Lin Feng's plans in great depth. As a fish ball merchant, he naturally understood the benefits of building a brand through chain operations.

The simplest point is that as long as those chain brands are deeply rooted in people's hearts, Hung Hing will naturally be whitewashed.

In the early stages, the gang's reputation served as a guarantee for the group; later, the company's reputation was used to whitewash the gang's image.

The two complement each other.

"Actually, I was very relieved that the project was able to recoup its investment."

“We have a seemingly insignificant but quite crucial reorganization plan.”

Liang Kun made no secret of anything to Xin Lian Sheng; they were his staunch allies.

He has his own unique perspective on identifying true allies. He's in the business of gangs, after all, to make money.

Anyone with whom you can have a solid financial relationship is bound to be a staunch ally.

Xinliansheng and Jiang Tianyang are examples of this.

Liang Kun simply told them that Lin Feng had a big project and asked them if they wanted to invest money.

Both parties readily invested, without asking about the project or how much to invest.

In the end, one invested 800 million, and another invested 700 million.

Especially Xinliansheng, they planned to mortgage everything they could.

This demonstrates the trust placed in Hung Hing.

Therefore, Liangkun concluded that Xinliansheng was a worthwhile business partner!

When you're navigating the world, you need to have a great reputation and lots of friends.

That way, people will give you face wherever you go!

If no one gives you face, what are you?
The three members of Xinliansheng looked at each other and simultaneously noticed something was amiss—was Liangkun sharing information about the reorganization with them?
"Mr. Li, do you know anything about the intricacies of this convenience store?"

Luo Zhiming immediately said,

"Is it convenient? Could you tell me more?"

“We are a friendly organization. If you want to reorganize, I’m willing to talk to you.” Liang Kun really didn’t hide anything. “If you don’t want to reorganize, you should definitely set up this convenience store.”

The three members of Xinliansheng were all moved.

Luo Zhiming solemnly said:

"Please enlighten me, Leader!"

“No need for such formality!” Liang Kun waved his hand. “This is a family dinner.”

"Speaking of which, I just moved here today, and this is the first time I'm hosting relatives and friends."

Jiang Tianyang gently patted his forehead:
"Ah Kun, this is my responsibility."

I'll definitely make up for it with a gift later.

"No need for that!" Liang Kun chuckled. "What I mean is, we're all in this business, who would invite ordinary people to their home?"

"Not to mention others, even Ah Yao from Hung Hing doesn't know that I've moved here."

"Of course, he'll find out tomorrow."

"We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Mr. Jin said seriously:
"Since Mr. Li is so kind and righteous, we must not be impolite."

"We will remember your great kindness."

"To be honest, we're also worried about the club's positioning after the return."

"If there is a proper way, we are naturally willing to take the proper path."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

If you have a proper job, who the hell would want to hang out in a gang?
The chances of being born into a gang are frighteningly high!
All of you here are lucky survivors who fought your way out of the encirclement.

"Convenience stores are really not a big deal."

"A convenience store can be opened as long as there are fifty or sixty households."

"It's not easy to make big money from this."

"Its upper limit is obvious at a glance."

"But there is one advantage...it's convenient for making money!"

"As long as it's within a reasonable range, no one will question the convenience store's revenue."

"Even if a convenience store can earn 20,000 yuan a day, ten stores would earn 200,000 yuan, and a hundred stores would earn 2 million yuan."

"What this means is self-evident, isn't it?"

The eyes of the three from Xinliansheng lit up!
There are such benefits!

I've learned something!

"Actually, after our Hung Hing triad was reorganized, our income was naturally legitimate."

"Although there are some ways to make money off the fringes, those are just gray areas, and this kind of income is much less common."

"The demand for money is not very high."

"The most important thing is to settle down the gang members."

The three from Xinliansheng were startled again:
"Settle down the brothers in the gang?"

"convenience store?"

Liang Kun explained:
"Don't underestimate this kind of convenience store. It can easily accommodate six people."

"One hundred is six hundred."

"These are all real jobs."

"A large number of people are needed."

Jiang Tianyang laughed and said:
"Actually, there are advantages. Opening a convenience store requires a venue, and land in Hong Kong is extremely valuable, with each shop costing a lot of money."

“For example, if you want to open a shop in Causeway Bay, even a small shop with a good location, the annual rent will be two or three hundred thousand dollars.”

"Convenience stores certainly don't need such a good location."

"The characteristics of Hong Kong dictate that this type of unit will definitely appreciate in value."

"Opening a convenience store not only has many advantages, but most importantly, it can also increase value."

Luo Zhiming listened very attentively, thinking and asking questions as he listened.
"These days, convenience stores are basically controlled by large conglomerates. If you want to open a store, the supply of goods will be a problem."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"There's no need to worry about that."

“We had already considered this when we opened the store. Binni went back to his hometown a long time ago and is still busy there now.”

"For this reason, he didn't even get to attend the ceremony for transferring his registration to the Grand D."

"If we open a store, the supply of goods will not be a problem."

Luo Zhiming said happily:

"So Hung Hing had already made all the arrangements!"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"It's not that easy."

"However, now is a good time to open a store."

Luo Zhiming was baffled:
"Is now a good time to open a store?"

Is there anything special right now?

After talking for so long, Liang Kun was quite thirsty. He looked up and saw that Lin Feng had already eaten and drunk his fill and was enjoying his tea.
This tea was freshly brewed.

Good heavens, I didn't even get to drink the tea myself.

Liang Kun was very angry, but when he thought about the HK$1.88 billion that had suddenly appeared in his family, he immediately calmed down.

My dear brother, you've worked so hard. Not only do you provide tea, but if you want to eat barbecue, I can make it for you myself.

So Liang Kun said gently:
"Ah Feng, are you full? If you're full, hurry up and explain to Ah Luo!"

Lin Feng chuckled, took out a cigar, distributed them around, and then said to Luo Zhiming,

"Ah Luo, now is a rare and opportune time."

"Grand Duke Andrei was attacked twice, but no one knows who did it. The Hong Kong government didn't even catch a suspect, and that foreigner Grand Duke Andrei slunk away in disgrace."

"The tycoon has been invited to the military base again, and the wealthy in Hong Kong are in a state of panic."

The three from Xinliansheng were baffled. What did this have to do with opening a store?
"That's not the most important thing."

"Hong Kong will start to descend into chaos tomorrow or the day after."

“Normally, anyone who opens a shop under the control of those conglomerates will inevitably face their retaliation.”

"But in a couple of days, things will be completely different."

"With Hong Kong in chaos, the wealthy are all on edge, and they won't care about trivial matters like business competition."

The three from Xinliansheng were all taken aback.

Mr. Jin quickly asked:

"Will Hong Kong descend into chaos?"

"Didn't the police station just foil Eiji Tsukamoto's plot?"

"Many of those assassins have been eliminated by the police, and the remaining ones are being urgently pursued."

"There are simply no conditions for chaos to arise..."

"Lin Sheng, is there some news we don't know?"

Jiang Tianyang asked in surprise:
"Ah Feng, I haven't talked to Ah Kun on the phone for two or three days, but I have a feeling that something big is going to happen in Hong Kong?"

"This matter is still related to the wealthy man who is imprisoned in the garrison," Lin Feng explained unhurriedly. "The small-time tycoon received guidance from a master who told him to distribute firewood and water to the workers and incite them to take to the streets in protest."

Mr. Jin hesitated and said:
"There are protests every now and then, is it alright?"

"What kind of trouble can a few dozen people cause with a demonstration?" Lin Feng said slowly. "What if it were thousands or even tens of thousands?"

Everyone's expression changed simultaneously.

"What if a peaceful march suddenly turns into a non-peaceful one?"

"The tycoon wanted to save himself, but his rival wanted him dead."

"And that's where the conflict comes from."

"I'm telling you all, I've received reliable intelligence."

"The tycoon's rivals found Zhongyixin and asked them to cause some trouble in the demonstrations."

"It would be best if a few people died or something like that."

"When someone dies in the parade..."

Lin Feng's face was full of mockery.
"What do you think will happen then?"

"When peaceful demonstrations get completely out of control, people's thoughts become extreme."

There's a saying that goes something like this.

"When there are 10,000 people, their IQ is halved. As long as someone takes the lead, everyone will become fanatical."
