Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 296: 73: Night is a good time for conspiracy

(The power was out for a whole day due to line maintenance!)
"Lao Ding, I'm sorry, there's a night dog run tonight, this is Huang Qiang's banker from Xinji, this guy is fair, so I accepted his stake."

Huanxi took out the key, opened the safe on the wall, took out the water withdrawal and account books that should be paid for today, and walked quickly to Chi Mengli and Bo Xidong.

Chi Mengli did not take the account book, but counted the withdrawals first. There were less than 20,000 yuan. He threw it directly to Bocaidong and took it back to the hall to collect the accounts. Then he opened the account book and took a look at the number on it. It was roughly the same as the withdrawals in the past few days, so he immediately closed the account book.

"Your hands and feet are still clean! That's good. I'm giving it to you, so you can feel at ease when you take it."

"Two things to do today. Ah Da has handed over the entire business of the lottery to the gang. I am not used to using the big boat that Boxing King Sheng has. You should find all the boatmen as soon as possible. I will take all those who have customer resources and are reliable and give them the opportunity to succeed."

"But I need a deposit. A big boat needs 300,000 yuan. Money matters, not people. If your boatman wants to make a name for himself, I will give him a chance. The rules are the same. 300,000 yuan deposit."

"The second thing is easy. Since the future of the lottery business is all about gangs, one betting station is not too sharp. Hong Kong, Kowloon Island, and the New Territories, three islands, and three betting stations are more eye-catching."

"Adong, where is Ying Weikun?"

Chi Mengli took out a cigarette box, picked out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it, then told the purpose of this trip.

When Huanxi heard that the business of odds would be handled by the gang from now on, she smiled happily, but when she heard that Ding Ye wanted to divide the business of odds into three betting stations, one in Xiangjiangzai, Kowloon Island, and the New Territories.

Bo Xidong's eyes were always focused on Huanxi's expression. As long as his men showed any dissatisfaction, he would take the lead and kill the loser. When he heard Brother Sheng asking, he said slowly, "The people should be here."

"Ying Weikun, Ji Mi's henchman, has made great contributions to the gang. He should have a share of the gang's business. Huanxi, I also climbed up from the rank of No. 49. I understand your reluctance."

"But the society's financial path is like this. It's impossible for one company to dominate the market. Even if I support you to the end, whether your little arms and legs can withstand the storm outside is another matter."

"When two brothers do business, they can speak out any dissatisfaction they have, but if you don't speak out tonight, I will assume that you are willing. If I hear rumors in the future, I will not be polite."

"If anyone dares to question the decision of the society or the gang, I will pull out his tongue."

"You are one of us, and Ying Weiluo is also one of us. It's first come, first served. You choose first."

Being able to share wealth but not adversity is not the attitude of a partnership.

The camp remains permanent, but the soldiers are transient. Chi Mengli never cares whether his men stay or leave. If everyone is having fun, they play together. If not, they just go their separate ways.

But don't be fooled by his current glory and happiness. Once he leaves the Yau Ma Tei gang, he will be a worthless scoundrel.

The world is divided into three parts, each with its own advantages. There are many rich people in Hong Kong, many happy people in Kowloon Island, and many local tyrants in the New Territories. Since he can choose the location first, Huanxi began to think. After thinking for a few seconds, he decisively said, "Lao Ding, Dong Ge, my current wealth and glory are all given by you two."

"I am happy that I am not a heartless person. I remember everything in my heart."

"Lao Ding, Dong Ge, I have always been doing business in Yau Ma Tei. I am familiar with Yau Tsim Mong. I choose Kowloon Island."

Seeing Huanxi made the choice, Chi Mengli nodded and said, "Huanxi, send someone to bring Ying Weiluo in. We can't put all our eggs in one basket. If we get caught by the police, we'll all be finished."

"You are a good person and you should do your best to give this betting station to Ying Weiluo. I have prepared a big gift for you."

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.

Chi Mengli continued to put pressure on Huanxi to give the newly built betting station to Ying Weiluo.

"Since you asked, I have no problem with that."

Although it cost a lot of money and effort to pull the wires and connect the telephone lines, Huanxi still nodded and handed over his betting station. He turned to the phone and called the security guard at the gate, asking the security guard to bring Ying Weikun in.

Bocaidong kept his hands in his suit pockets and kept observing the surrounding situation. If anything went wrong, he would kill all the idiots in front of him.

Chi Mengli was not worried that Huanxi would turn against him, and was mentally prepared for bargaining.

Ying Weikun, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in front of everyone. He first looked around the warehouse, then walked in front of Chi Mengli, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said excitedly: "Brother Sheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. Thank you for taking care of my mother."

"If you hadn't helped, my mother would have died on the street. I will definitely repay your kindness with my life."

Looking at Ying Weikun kneeling in front of him, Chi Mengli smiled. He could not believe the words of the gambler. Ten out of ten of his lies were false. But he had to act the whole part. He stood up, quickly helped Ying Weikun up, and said with a smile, "Don't kneel down when you two brothers are talking."

"I know clearly who has risked their lives and done things for me, Handsome Sheng. I have always told your boss Jimi that Ying Weikun has made great contributions to the society and the gang. I remember that you took care of Dongni from the Donglian Society and helped the gang take over two streets."

"The society and the hall are fair in what they do. Now that you are back, don't wander around."

"This is a new betting station set up by the gang. It's a great gift from the gang to you. From now on, all the English League One odds business of Xiangjiangzi will be managed by you."

"You and Huanxi should have known each other for a long time. He will introduce you to a big boat, a boat boy. You are a Xiangjiang boy, and Huanxi is Kowloon Island. You two can join forces to make money for the group."

Chi Mengli patted Ying Weikun on the shoulder, introduced him to the betting station, and announced publicly that from now on, all of Xiangjiangzai's lottery business would be under his control.

Ying Weikun didn't expect that as soon as he came back, he would be able to get the big fat piece of meat of the lottery business, which is much more profitable than watching the scene. He nodded gratefully and said with a smile: "Brother Sheng, I am your younger brother. I will do whatever the elder brother arranges."

"But I can guarantee one thing. I, Ying Weikun, will never embarrass Brother Sheng, nor will I tamper with the accounts."

Listening to Ying Weikun's assurance, Chi Mengli nodded on the surface, looked at Huanxi beside him and instructed: "Huanxi, A Kun is an old hand in Shengdao, you must guide him more."

"This month you two will not split up, and the water bill will be half each. Once Kun is familiar with the place and has figured out the situation, you brothers can divide up the territory."

"As for the new territory, you can also do it together. When I find the right person, you can hand it over."

"Okay, I have something else to do. You guys can chat slowly. Ah Kun, you don't have to send me off. You should learn the rules well. After you learn them, you can also operate a betting station independently."

After Chi Mengli made arrangements for Ying Weikun, she stood up and left with Bo Xidong.

Huanxi arranged his men to go on a large boat to teach Ying Weikun how to write a betting slip, while he himself sent the two big bosses Chi Mengli and Bocaidong out of the warehouse.

When everyone walked out of the warehouse area and onto the street, Chi Mengli said to Huanxi, "You must teach A-Kun how to run a betting station within a week, and give A-Kun 300,000 yuan of capital."

"I don't care what you do in private, but the account book must be clear. If you make trouble for me, your life will not be easy. If I lose face, the whole hall will lose face." "Big boat, give some to A Kun, don't be stingy."

"Huanxi, I didn't believe in the saying that suffering a loss is a blessing at first, but now I understand a little bit. Everyone will remember everything you lost for the gang and the boss."

"I will return a betting station to you, and after you separate from A-Kun, I will give you a big gift."

Everything that needed to be said had been said. Chi Mengli had to meet many people tonight. Time was tight and the task was heavy, so he needed to hurry up.

When Bo Xidong saw Chi Mengli getting in the car, he also reached out his hand, patted Huanxi's shoulder, and said, "Brother Sheng has no tolerance for any grain of sand in his eyes. He knows exactly who is his own and who is taking advantage."

"People are not afraid of doing wrong things, but they are afraid of following the wrong people and taking the wrong path. You have to think clearly. A Kun has no other shortcomings except that he likes gambling. You must make sure there are no mistakes in the accounts."

Hearing the instructions from his sworn brother, Huanxi nodded quickly and said with a smile, "I understand the truth, Boss, don't worry, I promise that there will be no problems with the accounts within this week."

"But after a week, it was split in two. I had no idea what A-Kun would do and how I would be happy."

This guy is not stupid!
Bo Xidong nodded, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Dutch is a frivolous person and unreliable. We can't keep him around, so we sent him to protect Ruan Wen. Hop Seng is a loser. We gave him two pubs in Mong Kok, but they were snatched away by Sun Kee within a month. It's really disappointing. We sent him to help Ying Wai Kun."

Dutchman is a spy sent by the Intelligence Department. They sent him to be with Ruan Wen and do legitimate business so that the Intelligence Department cannot find any evidence against him.

Ying Weikun is a compulsive gambler. If there is a big piece of fat meat in front of him, he will definitely take a bite.

On the surface, Hesheng is an insider sent by Shenxianjin, but this is only his apparent identity. Chi Mengli is still investigating the mastermind behind the failure.

To repeat, if Hopson was Shenxianjin’s henchman, it would have stayed in Mong Kok and guarded its own territory instead of returning to Yau Ma Tei and continuing to stir up trouble.

No matter who Hesheng belongs to, they will definitely not stand idly by when they see Ying Weikun's black number. Using someone else's hand to eliminate an unstable factor is a good thing that will make everyone happy.

But now that I think about it, Yau Ma Tei is really a blessed land, full of talented people and suitable for all ages!

"Brother Sheng, the Dutch boy was introduced by Uncle Wai, is there a problem?"

Bo Xidong turned his head and looked at Chi Mengli, and expressed his doubts. If the spy was sent by the society, there would be no problem, but if it was sent by the police, this would be a big deal.

"You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."

"It's not a bad thing to be more careful."

After a whole day of hard work, Chi Mengli was so tired that his eyelids were drooping. He wanted to go back to the hotel suite and have a good sleep, but he still had three good shows to watch tonight, so he had to hold on.

Bo Xidong didn't quite understand what Brother Sheng meant, but he nodded anyway. He was in charge of all the personnel arrangements in the hall, so sending someone out to do the job wasn't a big problem.

"Jimi's subordinate Ye Guiwang is pretty good. Give him a chance. When the hall does something, give him priority and test his abilities."

Chi Mengli thought of Ji Mi's henchman, Ye Guiwang, who helped Ruan Wen solve the troubles in the underworld. This guy is a good material. Give this guy a chance. Whether he can succeed depends on whether this guy has a good fate and whether there is smoke coming out of his ancestral grave.

He had said too much tonight and wasted too much time, and he really couldn't talk anymore. He closed his eyes and rested to get enough rest.

When Bo Xidong saw that Chi Mengli had closed her eyes in the back seat, he turned off the radio and asked Xizai to drive to Yuen Long Pier.

After driving for half an hour, we arrived at Yuen Long Pier.

"Brother Sheng, we're here!"

When Bo Xidong saw the place, he woke up Chi Mengli who had fallen asleep.

Hearing the sound, Chi Mengli opened his eyes immediately. He, who never dreamed, had a short, absurd dream while closing his eyes to rest.

In his dream, he stood on a thin surface of ice, and kept walking towards the other side. With every step he took, the ice made a creaking sound. Now he understood what it meant to walk on thin ice.

I think about it every day and dream about it at night.

Chi Mengli shook his head, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit up a Red Double Happiness cigarette, and tried to use nicotine to calm himself down.

"Brother Sheng, where should I go?"

Xizai glanced at the brightly lit Yuen Long Pier and asked casually.

"No need to drive in, someone will come to pick me up."

Chi Mengli blew out a smoke ring, looked at the Yuen Long Pier in the distance, and finished speaking calmly.

Xizai and Bocaidong had no idea who Chi Mengli was waiting for, but since the boss had spoken, they could only suppress their curiosity and wait in boredom.

After waiting for three minutes, a man in a baseball cap walked out of Yuen Long Pier. He stopped ten meters in front of the car, took out a flashlight, and turned it on and off three times.

The code is correct!

Chi Mengli did not get out of the car. He opened the armrest box on the back seat, took out a Black Star pistol from it, and stuffed it into his waist. He asked Xizi to wait at the gate of Yuen Long Pier and asked Bo Xidong to get out of the car with him.

When the person standing in front of the car saw someone getting off the car, he walked towards Yuen Long Pier without looking back.

Chi Mengli and Bo Xidong followed the man in the baseball cap in front of them, one in front and one behind, very harmoniously. They turned a few corners at the Yuen Long Pier and came to a small building with bright lights.

The man in the baseball cap stood at the gate and pointed at the main door of the small building towards Chi Mengli and Bo Xidong, asking them to go upstairs.

Chi Mengli looked at the brightly lit two-story building, smiled, and walked into the building without hesitation.

Bo Xidong, who was following behind, made an international hand gesture to the man in the baseball cap and quickly chased after him.
