Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 677, Section 267: I'll Support You to the End

"Ah Sheng, what do you think?"

After listening attentively to Jin Suanpan's words, Shenxian Jin remained silent and looked at Chi Mengli, who was silently drinking tea.

That old bastard!
It's about setting yourself up like a cannon emplacement!
Asking for one's own opinion on everything may seem like showing respect to the wise and listening to everyone's opinions, but if it happens too often, it loses its original meaning.

Over time, the brothers in the gang would include Handsome Sheng in the camp of the Divine Brothel, and the other members of the Divine Brothel camp would also regard him as a hypothetical enemy.

Because in the end, a sect or faction will only have one successor.

The excuse that white paper fans cannot be selected is just that—an excuse. But once enough red sticks are selected to become leaders, this rule will naturally be upheld.

After dividing into A and B, the only thing the white paper fan could compete for was the number of chits.

Among the Shenxianjin faction, the only one who can rise to the top and inherit all of Shenxianjin's resources is Gao Laofa. None of the leaders around Shenxianjin are second-in-commands; they are just thugs and bodyguards.

Whether they are unlucky or lazy, they all know in their hearts that if they are lucky, they will have the opportunity to open their own temple; if they are unlucky, they will just make a quick buck and retire from the business to become wealthy men.

No matter how close your brothers or younger brothers are, they can't be as close as your nephew.

To ask someone to be Gao Laofa's whetstone, Shenxian Jin is really too ambitious. Isn't she afraid of ruining Gao Laofa's knife?

This gun emplacement cannot be used!
We need to muddy the waters!
I can cooperate with the God of War, but I won't be his henchman! Yau Ma Tei needs to establish its own faction!
Moreover, he has already made it clear that he will support Andy Lau to the end. Getting too close to the Immortal King now could easily cause Andy Lau to misunderstand.

If you've accepted Andy Lau's money, you have to follow the rules, or you'll get a free trial of the Invincible Wind and Fire Wheel.

Having figured out the intricacies of the situation, Chi Mengli immediately fired back, "It must be for the money. In this world, do you think loyalty and righteousness are the only things that matter?"

"Holy crap! Uncle Jin, you're so naive and innocent."

"When you're out in the game, you have to make money, the more lucrative the better."

"Do you think gangs are a legitimate business, protected by law? Boss, we're just shady characters, living paycheck to paycheck. If we're traitors and can make money, I guarantee none of us will be loyal."

"Uncle Jin, you have to keep up with the times to be a decent person, and you have to keep up with the times even if you're a gangster."

Chi Mengli's opening remarks were sarcastic, implying that Jin Suanpan was out of touch with the times.

He started making sarcastic remarks on the spot, raising his voice, which caught the two old foxes present off guard. However, they quickly realized that this future double-flower red stick was trying to distance himself from them.

He thinks three steps ahead before taking one, what a sharp guy!

"People die for wealth, birds die for food!"

“Ah Sheng is right, everyone is a suspect.”

Shenxian Jin also knew that Chi Mengli had accepted money from Hua Zirong, and knew that during this period, everyone should not get too close. People who break the rules should not be trusted, no matter how capable or sensible they are.

"Ah Sheng said this was Song Sheng's doing!"

Upon hearing the name Song Sheng, Jin Suanpan frowned, his face showing obvious disgust. He said mercilessly, "That scoundrel is cunning and full of schemes. I've worked with him a few times, and it always ended in a mess."

"A very troublesome loser!"

"Ah Da, I've already heard that some of Song Sheng's capable men are planning to join forces and get into the rice washing business, hoping to get a piece of the pie!"

Song Sheng is preparing to start a private bank and a financial company in Dubai, and he is cooperating with the headscarves.

Dubai is now the latest transit point for money laundering. You can get to Dubai from Mumbai's money exchange with just a phone call.

The money laundering company is also considering opening a private bank or financial company in Dubai. International anti-money laundering organizations cannot access Dubai; once the money laundering money passes through a loop, it goes directly into Swiss banks.

You should know that Mr. Song represents the entire group. High rice washing fees and high commission rates are not the issue. Trust, reputation, and rice safety are the most crucial factors.

Song Sheng is the leader, and his henchmen naturally trust him. As long as the group operates normally, an internal cycle can be formed.

Jin Suanpan had already received the news, but Shenxian Jin had not spoken up. Since Uncle Gui was unwell, he could only tell him the situation.

Song Sheng, that bastard, is very good at choosing his timing. He chose to sit in the water room, Wen Gui was admitted to the ICU, and Shen Xianjin has too many things to deal with. At this time, peace is a blessing. He should move as little as possible and stay still if possible.

Once Shenxian Jin has sorted out all the troubles and Song Sheng's rice-washing network has been initially established, even if you have all kinds of abilities, you will have nowhere to use them.

Shenxian Jin remained unmoved, holding the teacup in his hand, watching the steam gradually dissipate. Once the steam was gone, he stopped drinking the tea and poured the tea from his hand onto the tea table.

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Since the other side has already made their move, you definitely have to retaliate."

"We've had our eye on the Oak International Terminal for a long time, but we were a step too late."

“I have nothing to say if you’re not as skilled, but Ah Sheng, I sent you to cause trouble, and you couldn’t come up with a single solution. That’s unacceptable. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”

Shen Xianjin looked at Chi Mengli with a half-smile, wanting an answer. An explanation?

I'm a shady character, who the hell am I supposed to answer to?!
Chi Mengli cursed inwardly, but her face immediately turned bitter as she complained, "Old Ding, I'm innocent!"

"My men have been constantly working and stirring up trouble; they're practically playing with fire!"

"It's protected by the authorities, and it's a legitimate business. They can't handle it!"

Shenxian Jin smiled, and this time she didn't give Chi Mengli any face, saying, "Is it that you can't handle it, or that you don't want to?"

"If someone comes to your door and you remain silent and treat them politely, no one will think you are magnanimous, but rather weak."

“Ah Sheng, Song Sheng is right in front of us, there’s no way to avoid him. You handle this matter, and the gang will support you to the end. Now it’s soldier against soldier, general against general. If you can get the big plane, I can step in and have a good talk with Song Sheng.”

The ordinary people charge ahead, while the big shots strategize and plan from behind.

Compared to the divine brocade, Chi Mengli was a nobody, with no possibility of refusing.

"Boss, you're making things difficult for me. I cause trouble, Song Sheng talks to you, and after you two finish talking, you get rid of me so you can continue making money. In the end, you're the only one making things difficult for me."

"I'll be your cannon fodder, but won't you give me something in return? Even if I have to die a ghost, I'll die a full one!"

Since there's no way to avoid it, I might as well take the opportunity to get some benefits. Even without the Divine Brocade, I'll still have to deal with Song Sheng behind his back. Although Song Sheng might not know me, Chi Mengli, Mei Feng and Mai Tou definitely do.

This is a do-or-die situation; there's no turning back.

"Mortal wisdom!"

Shenxian Jin saw through Chi Mengli's wicked thoughts at a glance and tapped her finger on the tea table a few times.

“Your dock needs funds for renovation. IOUs can be used for investment. Of course, if you are not comfortable with that, you can write an IOU without interest, but your cargo yard must have a portion of the funds.”

"A separate freight company will be established to ensure that you are not implicated."

“When you open your door to do business, no one dictates what you can or can't put in the yard! Even if things come to light, no one will bother you.”

Shenxian Jin really wanted the small dock in Chi Mengli's possession. This dock, located in Qingyi, was only used for processing seafood and transporting garbage, which was a bit of a waste. The gang needed to transport a lot of goods by sea, not just Miss Bai.

Just the pork trotters, beef offal, and frozen meat alone are enough to make Zi Tou a fortune.

South Koreans need a huge amount of pork offal and frozen pork belly. Sufang can get enough pork offal and frozen pork belly from the north side of the border river, send them on a refrigerated ship, and they can arrive in Busan, South Korea in less than three days.

Previously, they would add the red oil from Xinji in international waters, break it down, pack it into boxes, and then transport it from the highway to the port in Tsing Yi, where it would be packed into boxes and transported to the waters near Busan in two days.

Instead of going into port, the cargo ship has a crane that can directly unload the cargo onto the South Korean's flatbed boat.

These steel-plated boats, which cannot withstand wind and waves, can be transformed from ordinary small steamers into steel-plated boats in a week by shipyards. The shipyards can install the engine in one day, test it in another day, weld the hull plates in five days, and carry only one container at a time.

However, there were too many iron-plated boats. The boat guilds that cooperated with the water hull had cargo ships that were all antiques from twenty years ago. Because of the rivalry between the two Koreas, Hong Kong did smuggling business and produced thousands of these small cargo ships ranging from 800 to 2,000 tons.

After the end of the inter-Korean conflict, ship owners deregistered their companies and sold off their cargo ships at rock-bottom prices, just to get rid of them.

The boatmen started pooling their money, finding ship brokerage companies to buy boats one by one. After buying them, they began to modify them, replacing them with cheaper, more reliable, and more fuel-efficient Yamaha engines from Japan, and continued their smuggling business.

Shuifang's trading company in Singapore receives orders from South Korea every day, and three to five ships sail out of Hong Kong every day.

"Since the boss has spoken, I, as the younger brother, naturally have to comply."

“My wallet is tight lately, and I really can’t afford any more money. I don’t need more, just fifty million. The dirty rice will do. I’ll handle the black and white stuff myself.”

A 50 million interest-free loan!
Chi Mengli naturally wanted it and immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Chi Mengli agreed, Shenxian Jin looked at Jin Suanpan, and the two smiled at each other.

"Don't say that I, an old man, can't support you. I'll point out a clear path for you, and I guarantee you'll be victorious from the start."

Shenxian Jin asked Jin Suanpan to get her paper and pen, wrote a long string of words on it, and then handed it to Chi Mengli.

What the hell are you up to!
With a head full of questions, Chi Mengli hesitantly took the note handed to her by Shenxian Jin. Upon seeing the words on the paper, she immediately understood and gave a thumbs up.

Older gingers are more spicy!
"Either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly."

"I've already had the bones packed up for you and they'll be delivered to your burial site."

"You don't need to worry about the thieves. I'll get your stolen goods back for you, but those bastards, Song Sheng and Mei Feng, have to pay the price!"

After finishing his words, the immortal woman picked up her teacup and continued to sip her tea.
