Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 463, Section 44: Wealth Rolls In
In Hong Kong, almost all gray industries are controlled by triads.

Chi Mengli reached out and took a thick stack of checks, pointed out a check for 100,000 yuan, and threw it to Bishiqiang, who was watching the commotion from the side: "This is the gang's business, the gang will pay the bill."

“From the moment Dragon Palace opens, all the prepaid cards you give out will have to be replaced with Dragon Palace cards. I’m sorry, but you will no longer be able to enjoy the discounts you previously enjoyed at Shanghai City and Zhonghua City.”

"But you can still get a 10% discount card!"

"I don't care how many people the agency has right now, as long as you can fool Xiren and withstand the beatings, you can stuff as much money into your pocket as you want."

"Take out 200,000 yuan and buy the cards all at once to support Young Master Wang's business."

That's what brothers are like: you support me, I support you, and we all make money off the rich together.

When Lao Ding spoke, Bishiqiang quickly nodded, but inwardly he was lamenting that Angel Brokerage had made a lot of money recently, but after spending all sorts of miscellaneous expenses, there wasn't much left.

After issuing the mandatory task, Chi Mengli took out her wallet and pulled out a HSBC bank draft she had prepared beforehand, containing a clean 100,000 yuan. Then she beckoned with her finger, signaling Xiren to take out the red envelope she had prepared in advance.

After receiving the red envelope, he put the HSBC bank draft worth 100,000 yuan into it, and then took a check worth 100,000 yuan from Huanxi and stuffed it in as well.

"We've opened a card at the company for all the rich young men in the private rooms. The password is '888,' and each card has 200,000 points stored in it."

After finishing her sentence, Chi Mengli took the large red envelope and walked into the private room.

"Ah Sheng, you've come at the perfect time! Your TV is really good!"

"Even the Central Club doesn't have such a luxurious TV."

Upon seeing the handsome Sheng enter the private room, Young Master Wang quickly spoke up. He had indeed fallen in love with this 45-inch high-definition color TV. He could even see the hair on the host's face clearly. It was truly amazing!

"I'm glad you're satisfied, boss!"

"Grand opening!"

Chi Mengli handed the red envelope to Young Master Wang, then looked at the other young masters from Shanghai: "Gentlemen, welcome."

"Young Master Wang instructed us to give you a big gift: 200,000 points from AKB48. One point equals one woman's head. There's a special redemption window. The competition is about to begin. Have a great time, everyone."

After Chi Mengli finished speaking, the young masters present gave him face and all applauded. Sun Sansi, who was closest to Wang Haiquan and was also Wang Haiquan's brother-in-law, quickly chimed in, "Brother Quan was really awesome this time, he was a real go-getter!"

"Thank you in advance!"

"Young Master Wang, you're so generous. We've come to support you, and before we've even made a move, we've already accepted your gifts."

"."

Two hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount for these young masters.

Most of those who hang out with Young Master Wang are the second or youngest sons in the family. This is not about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, but rather that the resources of small families in Hong Kong are only enough to cultivate one person who can maintain a respectable image.

The remaining children, if they do not work hard, will not be able to support their high daily expenses with just pocket money and the stall business provided by their families.

These people surrounded Young Master Wang, trying to make him happy, because Young Master Wang would share his business with them, allowing them to earn some pocket money.

Take Sun Sansi for example. The Sun family is in the building materials business. Mid- to low-end building materials all come from their factory. Although he grew up with the young mistress of the Wang family, he was not born into the eldest branch of the family and had the same father but different mothers.

The young mistress of the Wang family has her own brothers, but the eldest son of the Wang family and his brother-in-law are not on the same page. Even so, the brother-in-law can still take 70% of the building materials share of the eldest son of the Wang family's real estate companies.

Some members of the Wang family were also in the building materials business, but because their production capacity couldn't keep up, they could only take 20% of the market share, leaving 10% for Sun Sansi.

Even so, Sun Sansi still made a profit of four to five million yuan every year. Since the wealthy man was opening a nightclub, his brother-in-law would definitely have to support him. He reluctantly took out 200,000 yuan to buy a prepaid card at the Dragon Palace, intending to use the Dragon Palace for all future company entertainment.

The major clients of Dragon Palace are almost all henchmen of Young Master Wang, or young masters of similar status with whom he associates.

Take Dong Shao sitting next to Wang Dashao, for example. He is the grand-nephew of the shipping magnate, owns three docks and six 10,000-ton oil tankers. His father was once the head of Swire, and he has opened a new oil refinery in Singapore. Just by running his own business, he makes tens of millions in profit every year.

Young Master Dong of Dragon Palace Nightclub also owns shares, though not many. However, he has a partnership with Young Master Wang, and in order for the partnership to proceed smoothly, he has to spend a little money to maintain a good relationship with Young Master Wang.

Human relationships are like painting; you have to cover them up layer by layer to incur costs. When people want to fall out, they'll weigh whether it's worth it.

"It's nothing, as long as everyone's happy!"

In the Shanghainese circle, Young Master Wang rarely speaks Cantonese. He only unconsciously blurts out a few Cantonese slang terms, but he quickly corrects himself and continues to tease each other in the local dialect of Shanghai.

Inside a top-of-the-line high-definition television produced by General Electric, two boxers wearing shorts have entered the ring. Both of them are boxers from Kowloon Walled City and are experts in deathmatch.

Sitting to the side, Bai Shao, who was embracing his favorite movie star, let out a surprised look. He glanced at Wang Da Shao, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, and found that Wang Da Shao also looked surprised. He could only ask Chi Mengli, who was standing to the side, "Brother Sheng, the boxing match you organized is quite interesting."

"Boxers don't wear those thick boxing gloves, they all wear half-finger gloves for dancing. Is there some kind of weird trick to that?"

Chi Mengli smiled and replied, "A boxer's fist, after training, is like a hammer; if it hits someone, it can easily cause internal injuries."

"Wearing boxing gloves is to reduce injuries during a fight. AKB boxing is free fighting, which emphasizes realism. Of course, every punch has to be delivered with flesh!" "Young Master Bai, the boxer now is called Scarface Tiger. He comes from Kowloon Walled City and is a well-known undefeated champion in Kowloon Walled City. A few years ago, a retired boxing champion from Bangkok came to Kowloon Walled City to make a living and try to earn some money for his coffin."

"But this retired boxing champion couldn't last three rounds against Scarface Tiger. His brains were splattered out and he was thrown into a dogfight to be fed to the dogs."

Chi Mengli had already made arrangements with Shui Fang's company in Kowloon Walled City to select ten boxers, all of whom were not involved in any illegal activities. These ten boxers were to be considered as the boxers of Tai Sui, the owner of the Kowloon Walled City boxing ring.

Tai Sui established a new company specializing in this business. Chi Mengli gave up a large boat space for the cooperation, only earning a commission.

Scarface Tiger is one of Tai Sui's men, and can be considered Tai Sui's ace fighter. He achieved five consecutive victories last year and helped Tai Sui manipulate the game to slaughter many pigs.

The fighter who faced Scarface Tiger was no ordinary fighter either; it was Mad Dog Johnny from the Macau boxing ring, a former Macau boxing champion with extensive combat experience, who had also fought in underground boxing matches in Kowloon Walled City.

Chi Mengli also carefully selected the two and placed them in the first battle of the year.

"Scarface Tiger! What a badass name, I love it! I'm delighted! You little rascal, you're never around when it matters!"

"Ah Sheng, how many games are there tonight?"

Bai Shao called Huanxi, who was standing at the door of the private room, in and then asked her curiously how many games were scheduled for that night.

"Three matches! All heavyweights, but with time intervals between them, ensuring that they won't interfere with Young Master Bai's precious romantic evening!"

"Everyone! I'll stay here with you all, so I won't disturb your enjoyment any longer!"

Chi Mengli said goodbye to everyone present and left the private room, but just before he closed the door, he heard the sound of the young masters placing bets.

"Scarfaced Tiger? What kind of name is that! I've seen tiger penises all the time, but I've only ever seen tigers in zoos!"

"The guy on the other side is not bad, tall and strong. I'll bet 100,000 on the mad dog on the other side to win."

"No taste! Choosing a mad dog over a tiger? No future there. I'll give you 100,000 yuan for a scarred tiger!"

"I also want 100,000 yuan!"

"."

Stepping out of the private room, Chi Mengli saw Ji Mi standing by the railing looking down, so she walked over and patted Ji Mi on the shoulder: "What's going on?!"

"Big guy!"

When Ji Mi saw that it was Sheng Ge, she quickly stood up straight.

"The Dragon Palace Nightclub is now in your hands. Everything has been taken care of. As for the public affairs, General Manager Wang will handle them. You take care of the waiters, waitresses, and the little bees. Don't fight. Just enjoy your meal in peace."

"The little mouth manages the hostesses, dancers, singers, and the Happy Club manages the betting business."

"Keep a close eye on the Wen family, and it would be best if you could infiltrate them as well."

"It's getting late! I have to go back to Tuodi. I wish you great success and a bright future!"

"Pay close attention to the drinks delivered by the 'Zhi Tou' (a type of liquor brand), and keep a close eye on Hei A Hu's hookahs too, make sure they don't smuggle anything with additives."

"If anyone comes to open a drug stall, break their legs and throw them out. If it's Yao Yao Wan or Indian God Oil, we can turn a blind eye, but we absolutely cannot let our fellow Daoists and drug dealers cause any trouble."

The Dragon Palace does indeed have the potential to become a treasure trove in the future, so we must be careful at all times.

Ji Mi is now capable of handling things on his own, and his reputation is good enough. After all, he can stand up to the big boss Yuan and has been causing trouble for half a month. He can be considered a rising star in the martial arts world.

Upon hearing the instructions from the sect leader, Ji Mi quickly nodded, indicating that he could handle the situation.

Although it's only a little past eight o'clock, Chi Mengli was already exhausted after a long day.

He yawned, told Spinach Dong to stay behind and keep watch, and Cold-faced Master Ah Cong, who liked to watch life-or-death battles, also stayed to watch the excitement. Then he left Dragon Palace Nightclub with Xi Ren and Xi Zai.

The bright moonlight shone on the brown tempered glass, and combined with the orange lamplight, it was indeed very beautiful.

Many foreign backpackers took photos in the small square in front of the Dragon Palace nightclub, hoping to record this wonderful trip.

"Miss Xiren, could you please find the editors at Michelin Travel Magazine, slip them two large red envelopes, and ask them to write a good report?"

"Ideally, this report could be reprinted by major newspapers in Hong Kong!"

"It would be even better if it could become a long-term partnership. When you mention Hong Kong, you have to mention Dragon Palace Nightclub."

Chi Mengli turned up the collar of his suit jacket, opened the car door for Xiren, glanced back at the magnificent Dragon Palace Nightclub, and then got into the back seat, letting Xizai drive back to Tuodi Hongsheng Sparrow House.

Springtime often brings a lot of internal heat, so it's good to eat some refreshing herbal soup!
