Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 130-26: Rewarding according to merit

"Thank Mr. Wen for me. He spent the money!"

"Please tell Wen Sheng that everything has been settled and there will be no obstacles in the future."

"Everyone is here, let's serve the food!"

Wen Liangren was the first boss to come to him. Even if he was unhappy, he couldn't fall out with him, as this would make other bosses who wanted to cooperate with him feel suspicious.

Chi Mengli thanked him and asked the manager to prepare the dishes. After fighting all night, his stomach was already rumbling. He wanted to finish eating early so that he could return to Shau Kei Wan earlier and have a good night's rest.

"Okay, Brother Sheng."

The night manager of Liji Restaurant nodded to the waiter beside him and asked him to go to the kitchen to convey the order.

"By the way, don't close the shutter door completely. Adong is going to bandage his wound and will be back soon."

Chi Mengli walked up the stairs and thought that Bo Xidong had not arrived yet, so he gave an order.

Under the arrangement of the gang leader Sijiuzai, the excited henchmen all sat down in groups of three or five, all talking about the flag-planting that had just happened.

"Hi, spread the word. I only want Nathan Road this time. Cheong Lok Street and Parkes Street have nothing to do with my handsome win."

"When A-Dong and the others come back, we will close the shutters and refuse to see any visitors, especially those with the same surname as the immortals. We will not see any of them."

"Tell the restaurant that no wine will be served tonight. All of us will drink orange juice. If anyone asks, tell them to come to me and ask for wine."

"After dinner, fire a shot and greet the stable owner in the territory. Each person will fire a shot, so that the brothers can also release some."

Chi Mengli saw that his men were already seated. These losers were obviously still in an excited state. If they were given horse urine, there would definitely be trouble.

However, it is better to unblock than to block, so we still have to provide these losers with a channel to unblock.

Compared to horse urine, these guys should prefer beautiful women with curvy figure.

Chi Mengli walked into the box, took off his suit jacket and hung it on the hanger.

"Fuck you, this Miao Dao is great, but you don't have to hold it. It's covered in blood. If the police see it, they will definitely handcuff us and put us in jail."

"Find someone to wash it and send it back to Tuodi."

Chi Mengli took out a cigarette box and prepared to light a Double Happiness cigarette for herself, but when she saw Xizi still holding the Miao Dao in his arms, she felt very helpless.

Xizai is good in every way except that he is a little silly and stupid.

After being told what had happened, Xizai suddenly realized what had happened and quickly asked his men to take the Miao Dao to the bathroom to wash it and then send it back to Tuodi.

The ingredients had already been prepared, and the food was served in less than twenty minutes.

After stitching and bandaging his wound, Bo Xidong walked into the box carrying a leather bag. He took out a thick stack of envelopes from his pocket, more than two hundred in total, and placed them all on the table.

The banknotes in this leather bag were from boxing champion Sheng. There are three hundred thousand in total, all in 500-yuan notes.

Chi Mengli and Bo Xidong, both holding cigarettes in their mouths, began to stuff banknotes into the two hundred envelopes, one thousand in each envelope. It took them more than half an hour to finish stuffing the two hundred envelopes.

These envelopes are for the thugs outside. They are the appearance fees for planting the flags tonight.

The people in the box are all his trusted henchmen, all of whom are well-connected underworld figures. Of course, they cannot be easily dismissed with just a thousand dollars.

Less than a week after joining the water room, Jimi, Xizai and other housing estate guys saw their appearance fees increase from three hundred dollars to five thousand dollars.

Even for Jimi, money is no longer important, the place is what is important.

Chi Mengli sorted the money and was the first to walk up to Ji Mi. This loser was feeling depressed because he failed to stop the big-mouthed duck, so he needed some comfort.

"Jimi, this is yours, keep it."

After stuffing the money into Jimizi's hand, he patted the street kid's shoulder hard.

"Brother Sheng, I don't have the face to take the money"

Looking at the five thousand yuan bill in his hand, Ji Mi felt like crying and wanted to push the bill back.

Chi Mengli laughed, put his arm around Ji Mi's shoulders, and consoled him with a smile: "If the boss gives you money, of course you have to keep it. How can you push it away?"

"Crazy line!"

"If you are not as skilled as others, then you should practice your boxing skills well. Humans are not gods who are omniscient and omnipotent. Ji Mi, you have a sharp mind. You should use your brain more in the future."

"Among the 108 Liangshan generals, besides Song Jiang, the boss, the second is Wu Yong, the wise man. His brain is more useful than his fists. Besides, victory and defeat are common in the military, so relax!"

After comforting Jimi, Chi Mengli stuffed all the remaining money into Xizai, Hesheng and a few other guys. Although they had no credit, they had worked hard, so he was willing to give them the appearance fee.

The largest pile was for Bo Xidong, worth 50,000 yuan. He had made the greatest contribution this time, so there were 200 red envelopes, and 60 of them were given to Bo Xidong, who was asked to give them to his men.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chi Mengli took Bo Xidong out of the private room and began to distribute money from table to table. The henchmen who received the red envelopes were all very excited and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Brother Sheng, for your powerful words!" The whole restaurant was shrouded in noise.

This is support gained through force and money. Chi Mengli believes that if he orders these street thugs to jump out of the window now, these excited street thugs will jump down without hesitation.

He kept smiling and chatted with each of his men, praising their bravery and loyalty until everyone had a red seal in his hand.

If nothing unexpected happens, the banknotes in the red envelope will not stay in their hands for 24 hours. Before noon tomorrow, these banknotes will turn into various rare items and appear on the bodies of these street thugs.

The first watch is poor, the second watch is rich, the third and fourth watches are wearing sackcloth.

This is the life of young and dangerous people.

The Jianghu has never been a holy place on earth where people can take revenge and be chivalrous, but a dark jungle where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

Law-abiding people are melancholy in the morning, but Qiangliang sings joyfully every night.

Those who harm others for their own benefit ride on horses or mules, while those who are upright and fair endure hunger and cold.

Repairing bridges and roads will make you blind, while killing people and setting fires will make you rich.

Having won the hearts of the people, Chi Mengli brought Bo Shoudong back to the box. He sat in the main seat and when he saw that all the dishes had been served, he called his men to start eating. Fighting was the most physically demanding activity and everyone present was already hungry.

The dishes at Liji Restaurant were indeed good. He stood up first, picked up a piece of Australian lobster and put it on Spinach Dong's plate: "Tonight, Dong deserves the most credit for the flag-raising ceremony."

"It's still the same old rules. The parking lot is managed by the hall and Adong is in charge."

"I believe you brothers have no objection, right?"

The rule of the Shui Fong Yau Ma Tei branch is that parking spaces are managed uniformly. This is a rule that everyone has tacitly accepted and of course there is no objection.

Seeing that no one objected, Chi Mengli picked up another piece of lobster meat and put it on Xizi's plate, and continued, "Xizi has made great contributions this time, and the Dream Disco belongs to him."

"But let me be frank. If my brothers want to come in and try to get some water, you can't protect your food. If you dare to touch Miss Bai or Yaoyao Pills, I will punish you according to my family rules."

"Remember this, I don't care if you open a flower stall, a lottery business, or a horse stall, but if you open a pink stall, don't blame me, the boss, for being ruthless."

After beating it for a while, Chi Mengli picked up a large piece of grouper belly and put it in Ji Mi's bowl.

"Jimmy was both brave and resourceful this time, and his henchmen took action to kill Tony, so our flag planting was successful and many brothers were spared."

"I'll pay for you to open a mahjong parlor and give it to you, Jimizi. Good brother, let's not be too fussy. Let's share the benefits, half for each of us."

"If Lao Ding and Uncle Hui knew that there was a new mahjong parlor on Nathan Road, they would be very happy."

"As for you guys from Hopson, don't be anxious. Ah Dong will count the venues. They will each have one. Now you are all the big guys who watch the venues. You will be so powerful in the future."

Chi Mengli divided up all the venues on Nathan Road and left none of them in his hands.

He is a big boss. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he must be fair in doing things and must win people over with virtue.

"Jimi, have the people you sent out to do the work arrived yet?"

After dividing the territory among his trusted henchmen, Chi Mengli asked about the henchmen that Ji Mi had sent out to do the work. A Sijiuzi could not open a temple, so most of the henchmen in the temple were still blue lanterns.

The top bosses of the gang were all fat and bloated, while the blue lanterns under them got nothing but a few dry banknotes. Over time, the gang's reputation became bad.

The Blue Lanterns working below must be given a chance to come forward. Chi Mengli has been preparing for three days. When the flag is successfully planted, he will open an incense hall and collect a group of Blue Lanterns to become the owner of the seabed.

But how to recruit people is a technical job, and it is necessary to balance the forces of all parties.

Where there are people, there is the world. Two people become friends, three people become a gang, and everyone has their own ideas and goals.

What Chi Mengli needs to do is to let the brothers in the hall know that the hall is fair and the brothers can get what they want from it.

"Brother Sheng, I'll call them in now and toast you."

Ji Mi immediately stood up and walked out of the box. A minute later, Ying Weikun, Pineapple, and Manli Niu walked into the box.

"Brother Sheng."

Ying Weikun and four other people stood in the aisle of the box, holding orange juice in both hands, and greeted Grandpa.

"Yes, you are all handsome guys. We will open a temple in three days. From now on, you can openly use the name of this company to make money."

"Jimi said you are smart, and the hall will rely on you young guys to carry it in the back."

"Ah Dong, from now on, the poker business on Nathan Road will be handed over to these five people. Try your best to help your boss gain more face."

Chi Mengli handed over the lottery business on Nathan Road to Ying Weikun and other four people. It was a good way to make money.

Hearing that the lottery business had been given to the five of them, Ying Weikun and the others' faces flushed with excitement. They drank the orange juice in their hands in one gulp to thank Grandpa for his cultivation.
