Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 572, Section 162: Unexpected Situation

The news that Handsome Winner and Black Tiger had fallen out spread throughout Hong Kong.

The Wen family wanted to protect Hei Ahu, so they directly kicked Liangzai Sheng out of the house, and the news spread like wildfire.

On the night of the 28th of the lunar year, Hei Ahu took the initiative and sent people to cause trouble, taking back all the parking spaces in his territory. Bo Cai Dong was not to be outdone and threw them back.

The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), the West Kowloon Anti-Triad Unit, and the Major Crimes Unit all mobilized, arresting more than 20 people. In one night alone, they collected more than HK$600,000 in bail.

In the middle of the night, the three members of Wo Luen Shing – Ghost Hand, Silly Fu, and Roast Chicken – who were well-prepared, led a group into Temple Street, indicating that the three would support Blackie Ah Hu to the end. With the support of the three strongest members of the new generation of Wo Luen Shing, Spinach Tung couldn't hold on and lost his parking spot.

In the first round that night, the Shui Fong Yau Ma Tei branch was directly defeated.

The turmoil in the martial arts world did not affect Teacher Li. He was in his Repulse Bay villa, directing his Filipino maids to hang up large red lanterns.

Maid Number One walked up to Teacher Li and whispered, "Master, the warehouse we were monitoring in Sham Shui Po has been raided by the cops. Just as you suspected, there was something inside."

"The blue blood was all packaged in plastic wrap. According to the intelligence I received from the inside, there were at least six tons of it."

"Also, Egg Knife, whom we cooperated with before, said he has found mud snails, but this guy has fallen into a coma due to wound infection. He is being treated at an illegal clinic, where he has been given antibiotics and his wound has been treated."

"The person is already on their way, and the price of the egg knife is 500,000."

Teacher Li carefully examined the two strings of large red lanterns under the eaves of the villa. Seeing that they were aligned horizontally, she nodded in satisfaction and said helplessly, "The egg knife is still the same as before. If there's any uncertainty, the price will be discounted."

"Prepare 500,000. Regardless of whether he is a good person or not, give him Egg Knife. Today is the 29th of the lunar year. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Consider this a red envelope."

Handsome Sheng, that good-for-nothing, wasn't really focused on Song Sheng. He could have anything he wanted by killing Song Sheng and taking over Song Sheng's business, so why bother racking his brains to kill a dim-witted nouveau riche?

Putting the cart before the horse!

Putting the cart before the horse!

That's right! This year's New Year's gift should be a calligraphy piece for that clueless young man, Handsome Sheng. It has the four words he's just muttering right now: "Putting the cart before the horse!"

“If it’s not the person we’re looking for, throw it into the ocean to feed the little fish and shrimp. If it is the person we’re looking for, then send it to Handsome Sheng.”

"I need brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. I need to write calligraphy. I need to find a mounter and get it done today."

"The goods are on their way?"

It's crucial to remind the handsome guy not to put the cart before the horse, but it's also important whether Miss White arrived at the high seas on time.

This was an order placed by the Honolulu Hung Society headquarters. It was an urgent order, so a large yacht capable of ocean voyages was used for transport.

Proceed at full speed, and we'll reach the high seas near Honolulu in ten days. The Hongmen headquarters will then pick up the goods. Picking up goods in the high seas is safe and discreet, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

"We have received a telegram from the yacht. It has arrived in Singapore, replenished its fresh water and food supplies, and will depart tonight for Honolulu."

"This time, the cargo wasn't on the ship. Instead, it was pulled by a line to a sealed compartment. Even if the American Coast Guard inspected it, they wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it."

"We communicate via radio, sending an encrypted telegram twice a day, morning and evening, to ensure the goods are safe!"

Commercial radios are very cheap now; you can buy a high-powered radio for two or three thousand yuan. Nowadays, whether it's a fishing boat, cargo ship, yacht, or fish raft, everyone will buy one to keep on board and communicate with the shore, just in case.

May you have great fortune and smooth sailing!

Teacher Li clasped her hands together and bowed towards the sky, praying for God's blessing so that everything would go smoothly.

Mud Snail felt his mouth was dry. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself like a piglet, stuffed into a basket, his hands and feet shackled with twin leaves, and a needle inserted into the back of his hand, with a thin IV tube extending from inside the basket to the outside.

It was eventually scraped out!
Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, Mud Snail gave a wry smile. He laboriously lifted his shirt and found that the spot where he had been shot had already been treated.

He had underestimated the methods of the Number Gang. The entire human smuggling docks in Hong Kong were under their control. The speedboat that Kou Shui Kun had contacted was waiting at an abandoned dock on Lantau Island.

Not only are the big speedboats waiting, but the short dogs are waiting too.

A speedboat can only earn three thousand dollars for transporting passengers, but if you capture yourself alive, you can get a million-dollar bonus. The boatman knows which is more important.

During the shootout, he was hit with a peanut, but luckily he managed to escape safely. While getting his wound bandaged at the clinic, he was spotted by the Tong gang of the Number Gang and had to continue running, hiding in a shrimp farmer's small wooden hut.

Although he had taken penicillin tablets from the shady clinic, he had been running around for a day and a night without closing his eyes. He was hungry, thirsty, and weak, and he couldn't hold on any longer. He hugged his bag full of banknotes and fell asleep.

But when he opened his eyes again, the bag he was holding was gone, and he had been put into a pig cage.

His lips were cracked from thirst, and he couldn't speak. He could only be carried around like a fat pig.

When Maid Number One saw that the pig cage had been loaded onto the truck, she nodded to Egg Knife and handed him a small stack of water room credit certificates.

Eager to get home for the New Year, Dan Dao checked the letters of credit in the water room. Seeing that the number was correct, he put his hands together, showing off his big gold teeth, and bowed to Maid Number One. Then he got into a van without license plates and drove away quickly.

Seeing that Egg Knife had wisely left, Maid Number One also got on the truck and personally delivered the goods to Handsome Sheng.

The villa on Victoria Peak was bustling with activity; all the furniture in the hall had been moved away.

A professional banquet company transformed the hall into a Broadway ballroom. On a temporary stage, Hong Kong's top jazz band and top female dancers, dressed in sexy and glamorous attire, performed tap dance under the lights.

Bishiqiang gathered a bunch of female celebrities who weren't participating in TVB's "Guangzhou New Year's Eve Gala," and they all wore hot and sexy clothes to chat with the clients invited by Chi Mengli.

Chi Mengli and Wang Haiquan did not participate in the lively activities on the first floor, but instead sat in the study on the second floor, watching Xiren do the accounting.

"Young Master Wang, the accounts have been settled! Please take a look!"

Xiren finished calculating the accounts with an abacus, wrote the numbers on a piece of white paper, and placed it in front of Young Master Wang.

"Boss, here's your New Year's gift!"

Chi Mengli, a cigarette dangling from her lips, placed a stock certificate in front of Young Master Wang. Looking at the two sheets of paper, Wang Haiquan chuckled, first picking up the dividend details. Seeing the long string of zeros, he immediately beamed, flicked the white paper with his finger, and said with a smile, "Dragon Palace Nightclub is truly a treasure trove."

“My dad said that the industry needs to be scaled up, so I’m going to buy the whole street where the Dragon Palace Nightclub is located and turn it into a high-end bar street.”

"I went to Edo Ginza a while ago and it really opened my eyes. The gentle service and flirtatious atmosphere were a whole level above the entertainment venues in Hong Kong."

"The rich young men and playboys who come out to have fun, which one of them doesn't have three wives and four concubines! The hostesses, singers and dancers in the club are all hanging around the top of the wall. The customers have to pay money and also have to fawn over them. After a while, no one wants to come to the club anymore."

“Ah Sheng, you have a lot of business, but you can’t just dump the entire Dragon Palace Nightclub on Jimi. Jimi is still young. He’s good at fighting and killing, but when it comes to business, he’s just a greenhorn.”

The Dragon Palace Nightclub is not just doing well, it's doing exceptionally well!

But a man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present! Young Master Wang has already seen that something is not right and wants to create a boutique bar street centered around the Dragon Palace Nightclub.

"Boss, I'll be careful and make sure the atmosphere at the event stays lively."

Chi Mengli took out his checkbook, wrote out a HSBC bank draft according to the number on the blank paper, and gave it to Wang Haiquan. The boss gives money, but the younger brother also has to know his place. On holidays and birthdays, the proper gifts must be given without fail.

Mutual benefit is essential for long-term cooperation.

The manager of the Dragon Palace Nightclub is a member of the Wang family. Young Master Wang is very satisfied with the current state of the Dragon Palace Nightclub. Just the private rooms directly managed by various gangs have allowed the shareholders to recoup their investment.

As for what these gangs and their members do with the private rooms, Young Master Wang doesn't care at all. Even if things come to light, he'll just push this young master out a gangster to take the blame.

Even if someone is handcuffed and imprisoned for economic crimes, they will only serve three to five years. As long as they are given enough resettlement allowance, there will be no problem.

This check is not from the normal operating revenue of Dragon Palace Nightclub, but rather a share of the profits from various sources of income for Dragon Palace Nightclub.

Young Master Wang carefully put away the check and then picked up the New Year's gift from Chi Mengli.

AKB48 stock warrants

That's quite a large sum, 1.5 million AKB shares!

Now everyone in Hong Kong knows that the Banco Nacional Ultramarino has 26716 taels of gold belonging to AKB48 in its Hong Kong vault, and that AKB48 purchases several hundred taels of gold plaques from Chow Tai Fook Jewellery every month.

Although it is unknown how many shares AKB48 has issued, the company's stock is tied to gold; 1.5 million shares would be worth at least thousands of taels of gold.

"Boss, AKB48 will go public after the new year, issuing a total of 10 million shares. In the first quarter after the IPO, after announcing the revenue, they will buy back the shares to drive up the stock price."

"At that time, you can either take the dividends or cash out at a high price."

"This is the letter of appointment, inviting you to become the Chairman of the Board of Directors of AKB Company, with an annual salary of 200,000 yen and a fixed amount of stock options every year."

Chi Mengli took out the letter of appointment and placed it on the table for Wang Haiquan to review.

"Ah Sheng, the surprise you gave me today was just too big!"

"Tomorrow is the New Year, so let's not talk about business today. I have an old man above me who's keeping me in check. Without his approval, I can't move an inch."

“I heard you invited Ma Min’er over to keep me company. I’ve wanted to invite Miss Ma for a drink for a long time, but none of my friends are familiar with her. I especially love watching ‘Crocodile Tears’ and I love Miss Ma’s performance in ‘Crocodile Transformation’.”

Young Master Wang also has his own difficulties. Since he is using the Wang family's name, he has to abide by the Wang family's rules and follow the Wang family's plans.

Haste makes waste. Chi Mengli stood up, packed all the account details and stock certificates into a new office bag, opened the door, handed it to Young Master Wang's personal assistant, and then snapped her fingers, signaling Ma Min'er, who had been waiting for a long time, to come over.

Knowing that Young Master Wang liked the playboy party vibe, he took out 100,000 yuan plus two movie contracts to get Miss Ma Min'er to wear a bunny girl coat and keep Young Master Wang company on the 29th of the Lunar New Year.

Seeing Young Master Wang come out, Ma Min'er walked over with great charm, took his arm, and went downstairs together to watch the tap dance.

"Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng, something's happened!"

Spinach Dong hurriedly ran up the stairs, and as soon as he saw Chi Mengli, he shouted loudly.

"Keep your voice down, these are all VIPs, don't startle them!"

Chi Mengli frowned, told Xiren to go ahead and attend to the guests, and went into the study to hear the latest news from Bo Cai Dong.

Realizing he had spoken too loudly, Spinach Dong quickly shut his mouth and followed Chi Mengli into the study.

“Brother Sheng, the informant we bribed at Taikoo Wharf just paged me and said that customs has sealed off Taikoo Wharf. Only Taikoo Group’s warehouse can operate normally; all the other warehouses are sealed off.”

There were only two people in the study. Spinach Dong, whose face was bruised, quickly told them what he had learned.

Upon hearing this news, Chi Mengli couldn't sit still. He walked out of the room, went to the railing, and waved to Dan Sijie, who was chatting and laughing with a male celebrity.

Upon seeing the instruction for the single-strand knot, she apologized to the male celebrity beside her and hurriedly went upstairs to her sugar daddy's side.

"Sorry to interrupt your enjoyment. I've already paid for all the handsome men and beautiful women in the villa and had them undergo medical examinations. I guarantee they're all fine."

"I just received word that Guan Lou sent people to seal off the entire Taikoo Wharf. Now only Taikoo Group's goods can enter and exit normally."

"This is too unusual! It must be Renekton's doing. I want to know the details. I want to know what that old crocodile is up to!"

Chi Mengli felt apologetic for disturbing Dan Sijie's refined enjoyment, but the situation was urgent and she needed to obtain firsthand information.

“I’ll make the call right now. This kind of big operation is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Even if Renekton wants to pull something fancy, he needs someone to cooperate.”

After speaking, Dan Sijie immediately walked to a table on the side, where there was a red landline. She took out a phone book from her handbag and began calling familiar customs officers.

Chi Mengli took out a cigarette case, picked out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it. All the groundwork was laid, and it was time to close the net.

At this moment, Renekton jumps out. Is he trying to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? Or does he want to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?
In Hong Kong, the foreigners set the rules. Even if you want to be a ruthless gangster, you still have to follow their rules.
