Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 233 10: Meeting at midnight

"Now is not a good time to take action!"

"We are fully investigating Boxing King Sheng. That nerd is really stupid. He confessed everything once he was threatened. He even agreed to be a tainted witness for us."

"Hei Ah Hu and Quan Wang Sheng worked together once. They made a lot of money together, but they accidentally used the money I gave you last time."

"Oh right! The little problem with my old friend has been solved. She didn't know it was my help, so I wanted to invite you out for a chat."

"Now O-Ji is fully investigating the flow of funds of Eight-Faced Buddha. The organizational structure designed by the boss is perfect. The various business lines are not related at all. The warehouses and factories are separated by feet."

"If we don't figure out the flow of funds and deal with the big financiers behind the scenes, it will be useless to just arrest one Eight-Faced Buddha. It won't take long before a new Eight-Faced Buddha appears."

"There are only a few ways to wash rice in Hong Kong. These people in the underworld don't trust South Asians and curry boys. After thinking about it, only the water room is safe. However, the 20% commission is a bit shady!"

Guo Guohao is not planning to take action against Hei Ah Hu or Quan Wang Sheng now. The evidence he has in his hands is only enough to accuse the two of them. It is better to play the long game and catch the big fish.

Chi Mengli glanced at the watch on his wrist and found that he had missed the auspicious day for Robin's funeral. He yawned out of boredom and looked at Guo Guohao who was sitting opposite him. He continued, "Mr. Guo, Yuan Qingbei is obviously here to cause trouble."

"Someone died, and he's also a gang member. Can he be kicked out?"

"I have offended Yazaku for you, Mr. Guo. If you don't help me, I will apply to return to the police station and I can be a marine police officer guarding the island!"

Yuan Qingbei cannot stay in Hong Kong legally, and now the situation has come to a head. The next time we meet, it will definitely be a fight to the death. There is no other way.

For Chi Mengli, after beating the younger one, the older one comes. This game of failure is not fun at all. It would be best to solve the problem once and for all so that he can do business peacefully.

For a person who does not appear in Hong Kong, his disappearance or death is not a problem for anyone.

"I will apply for an expulsion order from the Department of Justice and the Lord, forcing Yuan Qingbei to leave Hong Kong and never set foot on the land of Hong Kong again. Once he enters, it will be illegal."

"But Xiangjiang is surrounded by the sea. Yuan Qingbei only needs to go around in the high seas and he can return to Xiangjiang."

"You still can't solve the problem!"

"Don't do anything stupid. The law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it. One day you will be exposed."

Tian Si died in the detention room for unknown reasons. The people from Interpol in Japan were already on their way. It was originally a great opportunity to show off, but unexpectedly, they exposed their butts. Yi Ge and Shapisson were very annoyed at the dereliction of duty of O Ji, but considering that O Ji had made continuous contributions recently, they did not blame them too much.

In his heart, Guo Guohao almost hated Yuan Qingbei to death, so he directly took the evidence from Interpol and used it to prevent Yuan Qingbei from having any legal reason or way to enter Hong Kong for the rest of his life.

"Sir Guo, I never do anything illegal."

"But I want to remind you that Boxing King Sheng is not a fool. As long as he feels something is wrong, he can just buy a plane ticket and leave Hong Kong and go anywhere in the world."

"You have to play the long game and there's a good chance you'll end up with nothing."

"I'm a little tired recently. Give me a single room. It would be better if you could give me a blanket so that I can have a good sleep."

Chi Mengli picked up the coffee cup that he was using as a makeshift ashtray and threw it directly to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Hearing the sound of a cup breaking in the office, Ding Gou, who was guarding the office area, rushed in without hesitation, holding the Lion Nose (police revolver) in her hand.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Guo, I just broke a coffee cup, no need to make a fuss, right?"

"How much is it? Send me the bill and I'll pay you."

"do not worry!"

Seeing two black gun muzzles pointed at him, Chi Mengli quickly raised his hands to prove his innocence.

"Handsome Sheng, don't be so arrogant. If you don't cooperate and give out the information about the dirty rat, we in the Organized Crime Tribe will ignore everyone else and focus on your bathroom from today on. Even if your boss, the Immortal Jin, still likes you, he has to get rid of you!"

"Be sensible and don't cause trouble for yourself."

If you want to act, you have to perform the whole thing. Guo Guohao did not let Chi Mengli perform a one-man show. If he wanted to keep Chi Mengli, he didn't need to act out the feeling of a needle against a wheat spike.

"What the hell are you talking about, sir? I don't understand you at all. Are you kidding me? I am a law-abiding citizen. I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"I want to see a lawyer!"

Even in the Wan Chai police headquarters, Chi Mengli would not admit that he was a gangster and would never give anyone any handle.

Hearing such shameless words, Guo Guohao was so angry that he laughed even if he was acting. He immediately waved his hand at Taohuamei and ordered: "The lawyer will definitely let you go, but I have reason to believe that you are related to this violent murder case."

"Of course, you have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court."

"Sister Taohua, take our handsome boy Sheng to the classroom. Is there anything else you want to say? Brother Sheng!"

Hearing that there was finally a quiet place to rest for a while, Chi Mengli quickly spoke up: "A blanket, a serving of barbecued pork rice, and a roast goose leg, both of which should be fatter, and any soup you like."

"I haven't eaten since morning till night. I'm so hungry!"

"Okay! I'll satisfy you. Brother Sheng, you're the boss. I'll satisfy you today because you donated a sum of money to the foundation. Well done! You're amazing!"

"Sister Taohua, take the people down."

Guo Guohao's face turned pale and he asked Taohua girl in front of him to take the person away.

"Yes, sir!"

Taohuamei saluted, then took Chi Mengli away.

After seeing Taohuamei and the other girl leave, Dinggou quickly closed the door, picked up the broken pieces of the coffee cup on the ground, and threw them into the trash can beside him. Then he said, "Brother Hao, this handsome guy is too arrogant. Do you want to teach him a lesson?"

Guo Guohao, who was sitting in his office chair, didn't say anything, but just nodded. However, he still gave a warning: "Yau Ma Tei has been acting out of character recently. The commotion has gone a bit too far. We will check the cards tonight. No store will be spared. The first stop will be the place where the handsome man wins."

"I know. I'll file a report now."

Ding Gou understood what he meant, and he immediately walked out of Guo Guohao's office and prepared to cause trouble for Chi Mengli.

In Hong Kong at night, neon lights flicker and the streets are filled with the aroma of various foods mixed with the smell of car exhaust.

Bi Shiqiang, a hustler who has been hanging around Causeway Bay for many years, has just helped the gang deal with a "small matter". At this moment, he is humming a little tune and walking leisurely on the street, preparing to meet his good brothers.

He was wearing a black leather jacket and his jeans hung loosely on his hips. The thumb-thick gold chain around his neck was particularly dazzling under the light, and his neat short hair showed a bit of unruliness.

If you want to get involved in gangsterism, you have to wear a gold belt on your wrist and have some valuable gold around your neck, otherwise you will have no voice in the underworld.

However, the gold on his neck is not 999 pure gold, but Annan sand gold. It is heavy, does not fade, and shines brightly. If you are not an expert, you can't tell that there is something wrong, because it is heavy and will not float up when taking a Finnish bath.

Not far away, a patrol car drove slowly by, and uniformed soldiers from the PTU Mobile Unit were patrolling the streets.

Sitting in the car was Ah Zhen, who was wearing a military uniform. She looked heroic in her police uniform, with her long hair tied into a neat ponytail. Her eyes were firm and sharp, and she was always observing the situation on the interface.

She comes from a family of policemen, and her father is a veteran inspector of the East Kowloon Crime Unit. She has been determined to fight violence and protect the peace of Hong Kong since she was a child. Originally, Ah Zhen's father didn't want his precious daughter to work too hard, and wanted her to take a clerical exam.

I also know a few foreigners at the headquarters, so I went out to meet them and negotiate the price with the landlord I am familiar with. I can guarantee that my precious daughter will get promoted quickly and without too much hard work.

But this is not what Zhen wants. After Lei Luo's downfall and the ICAC's handling of corrupt elements, the reputation of the police has improved a lot, so she secretly applied to be a frontline agent without telling her father.

Because she had received education, was good at English, and had a college certificate from the Chinese University, she entered the advanced training class after entering Wong Chuk Hang.

However, when Azhen graduated, the rules changed. Even those who graduated from the advanced training class had to undergo six months of military training. Only after passing the six-month training could they be reassigned based on the results of the training.

This is her first month of military training, and she has to deal with a lot of things every day, all of which are unexpected.

The patrol car stopped at the intersection and Booger Qiang, who was shaking his head, happened to pass by.

Ah Zhen, who was observing the traffic in the distance, glanced out the window inadvertently and saw the man exuding a gangster-like aura at a glance. Her brows slightly frowned.

While waiting for the traffic light, Snotlout Qiang also noticed the disdainful gaze from the patrol car and subconsciously looked back. When he saw the beautiful Ah Zhen in the police car, he raised his hand and said hello, "Sir, are you busy maintaining world peace again tonight?"

Ah Zhen had no good face for those gangsters. When she heard the teasing from Booger Qiang, she couldn't suppress her anger at all. She opened the car window and replied unhappily, "Humph! You gangsters should stop causing trouble for me. Booger Qiang, I'm watching you. Don't think I don't know what you just did."

In response to the accusation from Armed Reaction, Bi Shiqiang looked innocent and spread his hands, "Sir, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. I, Qiang, am a well-behaved citizen now. I just went to visit an old friend who was sick."

"With your mouth, it's a shame if you don't become a son-in-law."

"Push to the street!"

Ah Zhen rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't help being amused by his look, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

At this time, a call from headquarters came over the intercom, saying that there was a dispute at a nearby toast shop and nearby military uniforms were requested to provide support.

The driver took down the intercom on the dashboard, answered, then honked the horn, turned on the warning lights, and prepared to set off. Ah Zhen immediately sat up straight, said to Ah Qiang, "Snot Qiang, you'd better behave yourself." Then he closed the car window and drove to the scene of the accident.

Looking at the patrol car going away, Snotlout touched his nose and muttered softly: "This female sir is quite angry, but she is quite interesting."

Seeing the green light on the sidewalk turned on, he hurried across the street. His good brother was still waiting for him in the restaurant. He had made an appointment with him, so he couldn't be late.

We walked through the streets and alleys, arrived at the Seaside Avenue, and walked into a restaurant called Feng Ji Roast Goose.

"Uncle DD, long time no see, where is my guest?"

Uncle DD, who was chopping the roast goose, looked up and saw Booger coming. He immediately smiled and said loudly, "They have already arrived. You still have the same old habit of being late."

"What would you like to eat?"

"When you come to Uncle DD's place, of course you have to eat the signature dishes! Eight dishes, all of which need to be prepared by Uncle DD himself, and have someone send over a half-dozen bottles of iced Heineken."

"Move faster!"

Bi Shiqiang took out a photo of a big cow and put it on the table, asking Uncle DD to move faster.

After chopping the roast goose, Uncle DD picked up the beef on the table and said exaggeratedly: "Oh my god, Aqiang, did you get rich tonight?"

"Okay! Go up first, don't keep your good brother waiting, I will cook for you."

He put the beef in his hand into the pocket of his apron, then took half a roast goose off the hook. DD picked up a big kitchen knife and cut it into pieces in no time.

"Thank you Uncle DD, I want to bet on the money!"

Bi Shiqiang went upstairs. Upstairs was a warehouse. In the middle of the floor was a large round table, and a man was sitting next to it.

"Brother Huanxi, welcome back to Hong Kong. I, Aqiang, will welcome you. Are you happy?"

Seeing Huanxi, Bi Shiqiang was very happy. He sat down opposite Huanxi and greeted her loudly.

Huanxi glanced at the gold on his wrist, snorted in dissatisfaction, and said, "Brother Qiang, you are really busy. You asked me out for a meeting, but you were late. You are such a loser!"

"Top you a lung!"

"No more words, just drink a glass of wine first."

Although he blamed him, Huanxi's face was full of joy. He poured a glass of iced Heineken for Bi Shiqiang, and then poured one for himself.

"You have to do something! I dare to refuse to do what the boss tells me to do!"

"Brother Huanxi, you followed a good boss. Although Brother Dong has a bad temper, he is really good to his minions. You can drive a sports car now, but you see me, I think taxis are too expensive and can only take minibuses."

After finishing the cold beer in the glass in one gulp, Bi Shiqiang burped comfortably, complained, took out the cigarette box from his pocket, threw it on the table, and continued: "Brother Huanxi, I heard that you went to Haojiang before, but I didn't expect that it has been almost a month and you haven't come back yet."

"Brother, I can only call you and ask you to come back quickly so that you don't miss this opportunity to make money."

"Drink less, Uncle DD's roast goose is a must, I even ordered it for you, I promise you'll eat your tongue."

He picked up the cigarettes on the table, lit up two happily, and handed them to Bi Shiqiang. He smiled bitterly and said, "Betting on the lottery is profitable, but it's too ostentatious."

"Brother, I'm unlucky. I've been targeted by the police. Grandpa told me to go out and hide."

"I've been in Haojiang for almost a month and haven't done anything serious. I'm almost suffocating. Haojiang is a small place with few places to play. It's a waste! I don't know why these big bosses like to go to Haojiang to play."

"Stop talking about these disgusting things and drink!"

Bi Shiqiang and Huanxi drank two glasses of cold beer on an empty stomach, smoked cigarettes and chatted about recent events.

"The food is here!"

Uncle DD carried a plate and went up to the second floor. In his hand, he placed the authentic charcoal-roasted black-bristled goose right between the two of them and said, "The other dishes will be ready soon."

"Thank you, Uncle DD. You must make one of your specialties, goose intestines stuffed with wine, and a marinated platter."

Bi Shiqiang said this exaggeratedly, then picked up a piece of roast goose leg for Huanxi, put it on his plate, and said with a smile: "You must try it. I guarantee that you will never forget it after you have eaten it."

Hearing Bi Shiqiang's exaggerated words, Huanxi curled his lips. This Pujie always spoke in an exaggerated way. However, he picked up the food and took a bite, and found that this time Pujie was not exaggerating at all, and the taste was indeed good!

The remaining seafood soup, sashimi, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, marinated platter, and honey-glazed barbecued pork were all served within five minutes.

When Bi Shiqiang saw that all the dishes were served, he picked up the Heineken, poured a glass of wine for Huanxi, and then said, "Brother Huanxi, I have a way to make money, I wonder if you want to follow me!"

"Recently, film and television companies have been very profitable, but we have little capital and no professional talent, so we shouldn't start a film and television company. I went to Hawaii with De Ge a while ago, and it really broadened my horizons."

"People who come out to do the full set of prostitution have agencies."

"Movie companies making movies is just like playing baccarat, it all depends on luck. Besides, there are thousands of movie companies in Hong Kong now, we can't squeeze in at all. The movie industry is the territory of the number gang. If we want to make money in the movie industry, we have to get the nod of the prince."

"We are small people, how can we see the prince?"

"But the management company is different. When we go to discover actors, we don't want big-name actresses. We only look for young actresses, or supporting roles."

"I recently investigated the current talent agencies in Hong Kong. They are simply incomparable to those in Los Angeles and Hollywood. The commission is too high. The actor gets 20% and the talent agency gets 80%. This is really too much!"

"If I open an agency, it will be 80-20, the actors take 80, we take 20, it's a steady income!"

"But opening a brokerage company requires capital. We are good brothers, so I will not hide it from you. The money for tonight's meal was scraped from a prostitute. If I can't do business with you, Brother Huanxi, I really have to become a parking boy."

After visiting Hollywood and Hawaii, Bi Shiqiang felt that he had broadened his horizons greatly. He also did some simple research when he returned to Hong Kong.

In fact, it can’t really be considered a survey. Ninety percent of the small film companies in Hong Kong now have community backgrounds. As long as you ask around with familiar faces, you can find out the dynamics of the industry.

Hearing his good brother sighing, Huanxi thought for a while and took out his wallet. Others were short of money, but he, who was in the lottery business, was not short of money. Although he was in Haojiang, he could give remote commands and he could still make a profit from the daily commission of one or two thousand. He opened his wallet, took out a big gold bull from the wallet and put it in Bi Shiqiang's hand.

"We'll talk about doing business together later, but we have to get through this difficult time first."

"Being brothers is a lifelong thing. If you think highly of me and I am happy, then accept it."

"But Brother Qiang, you are a rich man, and Brother De also values ​​you. Why are you in such a mess? Didn't Brother De find a way to make money for you?"

Huanxi saw that Bi Shiqiang accepted the money, so he asked curiously.

When he heard Huanxi mention his unlucky boss, Bi Shiqiang was furious. He took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Huanxi, you are the boss of the gang, what's better than your handsome grandpa!"

"Brother Sheng was once a gangster, so he knows the hardships of the brothers. No matter it is the business of the gang, the business of the gang, or the legitimate business, he will leave some for the brothers."

"This is a good boss. He eats the meat himself and thinks of leaving some bones and hot soup for his minions."

"My failed boss has opened a gang, but there are only a few places, and the valet parking is not enough for the brothers. If it weren't for the support of the mahjong parlor, someone would have moved to the number gang long ago."

"I can't fight, and I don't have a sharp mind for business, so I can only eat and wait for death!"

After listening to Bi Shiqiang's complaints, Huanxi felt unbelievable. Lanmingde was Laoding's leading horse, and Laoding would give him some special treatment no matter what. He didn't expect that Laoding would just watch Lanmingde fend for himself.

"Oh my god, don't make such a joke. Brother De is the boss's boss, and his fists are very strong. If this word gets out, you'll be punished by the family law."

"But speaking of which, if you are running a legitimate business and lack capital, shouldn't you seek help from the big boss?"

"Even if Brother De is down and out, he can definitely come up with 200,000 or 300,000. His gang is in Mong Kok, and he can make 5,000 or 6,000 a night just from parking fees."

Huanxi was very surprised. Yau Tsim Mong is famous for its lucrative prices. Even the commission for valet parking alone makes other people who watch it drool.

Young and dangerous people who want to make a name for themselves will definitely come to Yau Tsim Mong to try their luck.

Tsim Sha Tsui has the most oil and water, followed by Causeway Bay, then Mong Kok, and finally Yau Ma Tei, Temple Street and Bowl Lane.

Huanxi never expected that someone would come out to beg for food with a treasure bowl in hand.

"Brother De can still come up with 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, but what Brother De means is that if the agency makes money, Brother De will take 60% of the shares and 60% of the commission. If the company does not make money, this start-up capital will be considered as raised by me, Ah Qiang, in the hall."

"Since we are all brothers, I will only ask for 40% of the profit."

Bi Shiqiang gave a bitter smile. When De Ge was the leader of Lao Ding, he followed De Ge. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard. If he hadn't worked hard, he would have been tired!
Unexpectedly, in the end, I got nothing!
If it weren't for the tip from the girl, he wouldn't be able to afford today's meal. He would have to go to the pawn shop to sell the gold necklace on his neck and the brocade bracelet on his wrist.

Huanxi really didn't expect that he would have to pay 4% interest when asking the big boss for capital. This was indeed a bit too much, but he couldn't say anything. Every industry has its rules, and every family has its own rules. If you talk nonsense in the underworld, you will get a slap in the face.
