Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Tsuen Wan, Shan Men Temple.

Cars started arriving early in the morning, and more and more came. Around midnight, more than a hundred cars arrived, filling almost all the available parking spaces nearby.

The newly promoted four major "Shengyi" organizations, comprising 15 branches, attracted everyone who felt they had a chance to compete for a position. Not only did they come, but they also brought along some close friends to bolster their reputation. After all, if they could actually become the leaders, those around them might be able to compete for the positions of Straw Sandal and White Paper Fan.

There were even more people, and the number quickly exceeded 500!
Since the day 'Shengyi' put up its signboard, there have never been so many people near the ancestral hall at the mountain gate.

Sixty percent of them are 'Shengyi' veterans, and the other forty percent are people who came from the soda factory. After all, they were originally one of the four major factories. Although many of them were killed off recently, even if they were just the remnants, the number of people who came to join them was still huge.

They were only recently brought together; they had fought to the death before. Now, as enemies meeting, they were extremely hostile. Of course, with the 'Strongest Dragon' keeping them in check, they didn't dare to actually fight, but they did inevitably confront and curse at each other.

Hundreds of people strolled along a street nearly 100 meters long, shouting insults at each other; the noise could be heard a kilometer away.

Gradually, in the verbal battle, Sheng Yizai's side fell into a disadvantageous position. This was mainly because no one was in charge on Sheng Yizai's side, while the people from the soda factory were all surrounding Gao Lishi.

Gao Laofa changed his nickname. In his words, Gao Laofa was a thing of the past during the soda factory era. Now he was a member of Shengyi and wanted to completely sever ties with the soda factory, so he had to change his nickname to show his loyalty.

This style is very impressive.

On the other hand, Shengyi's side split into two camps: newcomers and veterans.

The elderly refer to the residents of Tsuen Wan, Sha Tin, Tseung Kwan O, and the Shan Men headquarters.

The term "newcomers" refers to those who followed Wang Yaotang from the Yau Tsim Mong district, and those from Po Toi O also consider themselves part of the "newcomer group."

Among the elders, "Rat Fai," a member of the Tsuen Wan branch who had been released a few days earlier, was chosen to take charge.

Lao Shu Hui almost died at sea and was trapped on a ship for half a month. Now he's being asked to come out and compete against the new recruits? Is he crazy?

He tried his best to refuse, but his subordinates all pushed him forward, giving him no chance to refuse. In particular, Gou Zai Xing, Zhu Zai Ming, and Da Kou Wen, three bastards who had also been released, were afraid of being pushed forward, so they simply released the news without waiting for Lao Shu Hui's consent, completely putting him in a difficult position.

Lao Shu Hui was forced to sit in a chair and was forced to wear the yellow robe. In response, Lao Shu Hui cursed the ancestors of Gou Zai Xing, Zhu Zai Ming, and Da Kou Wen for eight generations all night.

The reason why the older generation is publicly recommending "Rat Hui" for the position is because they are the weakest. If they don't unite, their momentum will be completely crushed.

On the newcomer side, there wasn't even a leader. Some of the older members who had transferred from other branches were following "Jordan White Paper Fan Xing Hong," who was originally a confidant of Tu Gu Dong.

The other group was gathered around 'Big Mouth Hui', 'Blind Hua', 'Big Head Sheng', and 'Small Gong'.

Besides the above, there are three other groups.

The Macau clique, led by Huang Mao, a former member of the Sun Kee gang, returned home in glory, bringing with him 100 of his most elite men to bolster his reputation.

With the backing of Wang Yaotang, the Po Toi O faction experienced a resurgence, leading his men to sweep across Clear Water Bay and Sheung Sze Bay, taking control of all the territories in western Tseung Kwan O. Although the total population of these areas was less than 6000, he controlled two places and had more than 300 underlings, making him quite powerful.

Finally, there's the Thai group.

After switching sides, Mawei Xiong, the leader of the Jordan branch of the Lian Gong Le gang, feared retaliation from Prince Rong and was sent to Thailand to expand his business. Later, Wang Yaotang sent Zhao Kehan ​​and his team from the anti-drug squad with eight guns and three old guys in charge of sales, accounting, and money laundering. As Wang Yaotang's influence grew, his reputation gradually spread in the Southeast Asian Chinese community. Mawei Xiong also took advantage of this to expand his business. He is now doing very well in the Bang Klam district of Bangkok, with several hundred under his command. He is doing just as well as he did in Jordan.

Bangkok, with a population of over 500 million, has a much worse security situation than Hong Kong. Murder is commonplace there. This time, he returned home in triumph, bringing back more than 30 people, all of whom exuded a murderous aura, making quite a show of force.

At the ancestral hall near the mountain gate, forces from all sides arrived, and the number of people increased. As the saying goes, what the superiors like, the subordinates will follow. Wang Yaotang likes his men to wear combat uniforms. Currently, there are more than 800 men, all wearing black combat uniforms, covering the entire street in a dark mass.

The news that Sheng Yi was going to appoint 15 leaders for his gang had already spread throughout the underworld, and the police were naturally aware of it as well. They had dispatched two PTU vehicles early on, but the number of people gathered here was nearly a thousand. The New Territories Police District was very nervous and gathered dozens of uniformed police officers to block the road, fearing that it might cause a mass incident.

As the organization grew larger, especially with this sudden expansion, Wang Yaotang himself was no longer aware of what his subordinates were like. He was startled when he heard the report from the command center on his way here.

"Damn it, no, do I already have this much power under my command?" Wang Yaotang looked at A-Jie and A-Ji with disbelief.

The two of them laughed.

Ah Jie scratched his head. "I don't know. I haven't noticed it before. Da Kou Hui and Xing Hong are in charge of things here in Jordan. They handle the general matters. When I need to show up, it's usually just to have a drink with someone. The specific matters are handled by the people below."

“Me too,” Aji said with a smile.

"So, we're really one of the Big Four now?" Wang Yaotang couldn't help but smirk. "Does this mean we've fulfilled our original wish?"

"Forget it."

"How could that be? Didn't we say we'd expand worldwide?" A-Jie waved his hand and said. "You kid, why don't you open branches in Southeast Asian countries first?" Wang Yaotang said with a smile.

"I think we can do it now," A-Jie said loudly, pointing outside.

As they were talking, the convoy arrived near the mountain gate. The police immediately released the cordon. Before Wang Yaotang's convoy arrived, Sha Ze had already arranged for people to notify his men to clear the entire long street to both sides.

Looking at the nearly one thousand men standing tall and proud in their black combat uniforms on both sides, all of whom were his subordinates, Wang Yaotang suddenly felt a surge of emotion. This was all the empire he had conquered!

"Master Yao, your heroic spirit is boundless, and your might shakes the world!" Gao Lao... Gao Lishi suddenly shouted loudly, straining his neck.

The remnants of the soda factory he was with had already been notified, and they immediately shouted loudly, "Master Yao, you are full of heroic spirit and your power shakes the world!"
"Master Yao, with boundless heroism, is awe-inspiring throughout the world!"
"Master Yao, with boundless heroism, is awe-inspiring throughout the world!"
At first, the sounds were somewhat scattered, but they gradually became more coherent.

Da Kou Hui, Huang Mao, Da Tou Sheng, Mang Hua, Xing Hong and the others' expressions changed drastically. They cursed Gao Lishi's despicable behavior in their hearts, but the atmosphere was already right. If they didn't shout along, wouldn't Yao Ge think they had other ideas?

Besides, although they didn't speak immediately, many of their men had already started shouting along. Despite feeling awkward, they had no choice but to shout, "Master Yao, your heroic spirit is boundless, and your might shakes the world!"
"Master Yao, with boundless heroism, is awe-inspiring throughout the world!"
Nearly a thousand people roared in unison, their voices carrying for miles. Infected by the atmosphere, everyone present felt their blood boiling and their hearts racing. With so many fellow disciples present, Sheng Yi was bound to go even further in the future, crushing the other three under its feet and becoming the largest triad in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia!
One was a soldier, the other a bandit. The police officers who had set up the blockade nearby were all unsettled by the shout, feeling that if Wang Yaotang gave the order, these guys would dare to storm the branch office...

The convoy stopped in front of the mountain gate. Sha Ze opened the car door, and Wang Yaotang stepped out. The shouts of the surrounding underlings grew louder, and they all blushed and became boisterous. Wang Yaotang was also infected by the atmosphere, and his heart was racing. A surge of pride rose in his chest: If the heavens had not given birth to me, Wang Yaotang, the martial world would have been in eternal darkness!
Comrades... that definitely won't work...

Wang Yaotang raised his right fist high. Seeing that their boss had something to say, the underlings gradually stopped shouting and all looked at the man in a suit and tie standing in front of the mountain gate. He was handsome and had an extraordinary presence.

Wang Yaotang's gaze swept across the street, spotting Gao Lishi, Da Kou Hui, Huang Mao, Mang Hua, and others. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Sheng Yi!"

Ah-Ji, Ah-Jie, Four-Eyes, Ah-Wei, and the others shouted in unison, "Sheng-Yi!"

"Victory!" Everyone in the audience roared in unison.

At the third-floor window, besides Fourth Master, Si Lin, Uncle Ding, and Uncle Niu, there were four other old guys standing there. They were all veterans who had retired earlier and lost their power. Today, they were going to select 15 leaders for their respective branches, so they were also brought over.

Watching nearly a thousand underlings roar in anger, these old guys, who thought they would never be excited again after going through so many trials and tribulations, felt their blood boil. This was an unprecedented spectacle in Shengyi, and they felt that their lives had been worthwhile.

Seeing how well the club is doing, I suddenly feel that it's a bit too late for Tigu Dong to die...

If he had died sooner, Wang Yaotang would have taken over, and Shengyi would have prospered much earlier...

Fourth Master shook his head, banishing the terrible thought, and watched Wang Yaotang walk into the mountain gate. He coughed lightly and said, "Go down and greet him."

The seven of them snapped out of their daze and, disregarding any airs of seniority, immediately followed Fourth Master downstairs.

"Ah Yao." Fourth Master's old face was a little red. "Good, good. Seeing the gang thriving like this, I feel that it would be worth dying now."

"Fourth Master is joking. Shengyi will only get better and better, and we'll need the support of the older generation then," Wang Yaotang said with a smile.

"We don't need old fogies like us anymore. It's your turn, young people."

"You're joking. Young people are still not mature enough. Times have changed. The development of the club must be done step by step." Wang Yaotang said, looking up at the Guan Sheng Di Jun statue in the lobby, and clasped his hands together. "Let's go upstairs."

"Alright." The old guys made way, and Wang Yaotang took the lead without hesitation. Ah Jie, Ah Ji, Four-Eyes, and Ah Wei followed, and then the other old guys, including Fourth Master, followed behind.

Ah Sheng, who had been stationed at the mountain gate, watched this scene with mixed feelings. The power transfer was complete, and from now on, Shengyi would no longer have a "seat" but only a "dragon head king".

On the second floor, Wang Yaotang went straight to the head seat of the long table and sat down. Fourth Master glanced at Aji and Ajie, then walked to the second chair on the left and prepared to sit down.

"Fourth Master," Wang Yaotang called out, pointing to the seat of the Second Marshal next to him, "Sit next to me."

"Let Ah Jie and Ah Ji sit down," Fourth Master said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

“How can one person be the head of Jordan and the other the head of Yau Ma Tei? Their positions are not legitimate. Fourth Master and Uncle Lin, rules are rules. It's not their turn to take over yet.” Wang Yaotang shook his head.

“Yes, Fourth Master, Uncle Lin, you’re making us younger generation feel so bad,” Ah Jie added.

Fourth Master looked around, feeling a little excited. Who said that Wang Yaotang was domineering and disrespectful to his elders and wanted to kick them old guys out? That's utter nonsense. He clearly respects them old guys a lot.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." After saying this, Fourth Master and Uncle Lin suppressed their laughter and went over to sit next to Wang Yaotang.

Seeing the two men sit down, Ah Jie, Ah Ji, and their three brothers pulled out chairs and sat down on the same side. The other six old men on the other side also sat down with smiles, a huge weight lifted from their hearts. (End of Chapter)
