Chapter 291 Oriental Market
Oriental.

My grandson city.

Outside the window, the sky is clear, with orange and yellow leaves scattered around. On the lawn, nurses push patients in wheelchairs for some fresh air from time to time. It is a peaceful scene.

The atmosphere in the hospital was extremely tense.

The ward was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Xixieyan was leaning against the bed with a pale face. His naked upper body was covered with bandages. His hair was shaved so that his scalp was visible. A scar stretched from his forehead to the other eyebrow, and it looked like the top of his skull was almost cut off.

A doctor in a white coat, accompanied by two nurses, carefully changed the dressing on the wound on his head and then re-bandaged it.

There were several staff members of the Western Association Group standing in the ward. They looked at Xixie Yan, who was covered in scars, with grim expressions. Their eyes were sinister and their fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds.

In this strange atmosphere, the doctors and nurses treated the wound of the Xixieyan man with trepidation, took off their masks and reminded him as usual:
"The wound is healing well, but the patient still needs to rest and avoid getting emotional..."

No one in the ward paid any attention to him, but Xixie Yannan forced a smile and said, "Thank you, doctor and nurse."

After the doctor called the two nurses away in a hurry.

The smell of gunpowder exploded instantly.

"What a jerk! How dare the Liuli Society plot against Brother Xixie? I'm going to take my men over to fight them tonight!"

Inoue Hiko, the second-in-command of the Western Association Group, punched the wall and yelled angrily.

Several officials around followed suit.

The ward was suddenly filled with the unique tongue-clicking sound of Japanese people swearing excitedly.

Xixie Yan closed his eyes weakly, and waited for the scolding to subside before speaking: "Hey, do you have a cigarette?"

The few officers who had just been shouting for war quickly reached into their pockets. Inoue Hiko snatched the cigarette box from the person next to him, took out a cigarette and fed it to Nishikie Yanan's mouth, then helped him light the flame.

Nishikie Iwano tilted his neck back and exhaled a puff of smoke. While Inoue Hiko was helping him take out the cigarette, he raised his hand and grabbed the other's ear and twisted it.

The burly Inoue Hiko didn't dare to struggle, and Nishikie Iwao was seriously injured and couldn't use any strength, but he still cooperated and shouted exaggeratedly: "Brother Nishikie, lead! Lead! Lead!"

Xixie Yannan asked hoarsely, "Spell? What spell do you use?"

Inoue Hiko was embarrassed and fell silent. When Nishikie Iwano said the word "cigarette", he quickly put the cigarette to the other person's mouth.

The scene was somewhat funny, but no one else in the ward felt relaxed.

Their boss was almost hacked to death. If this matter cannot be resolved, the newly established Western Association Group will simply be disbanded on the spot.

Another staff member said solemnly, "We can use those drug-taking teenagers outside. I found out that Sasa Kentaro often appears in Chiyo's Kabuki Hall. Let those kids ambush around..."

Sasa Kentaro is the third generation of the Rurikai.

The previous president was blown to death in a parking lot by the Xixie Group with the help of the Fulong Gang. Things have changed. A few days ago, Xixie Yan was left alone on his way home and was ambushed by people from the Liuli Society. He fought his way out with his extraordinary skills, and although he was not hacked to death in the street, he was in his current state.

"Yamazaki," Nishikyo Iwao interrupted him, "Adult matters should be handled by adults. If you involve minors, it will be reported in the Tokyo News, and it will be difficult for the Metropolitan Police Department to turn a blind eye. Do you want to drag the Nishikyo Group down with you?"

Members of the Japanese gangs also know that if they see scoundrels like them lying dead on the streets, the public will only applaud, but when it comes to underage gangs, public opinion is different.

After a round of purges, the big gangs are safe and sound, while small gangs like the Western Association Group will be pushed out as scapegoats.

"The Fulong Gang is obsessed with money. The leader of their East China team used to be our sworn brother, but now they're just standing by and watching us die without any money to pay them. What an idiot!"

After Inoue Yan angrily criticized the Fulong Gang, he asked, "Brother Xixie, can the boss of the consortium that Michiko met in Hong Kong really not send money here anymore? We are working for him!"

Nishikie Iwano sighed, "The Nishikie Group was established with money from Xiangjiang, but now it can't even beat a small Liuli Club. The women in the modeling agency are either snatched away or hiding. How can I still have the face to talk to Michiko's boss?"

"After all, the Liuli Society has been around for decades. Even though the second generation was killed by us, the third generation, Sasa Kentaro, was still able to gather its businesses and recruit soldiers."

Yamazaki Chiya pushed up his glasses and said, "If it weren't for the financial chain in Hong Kong being broken this time, allowing us to continue developing for a few more years, Liuli Club would definitely be trampled underfoot."

Although they are all developing in rural cities, compared with old-fashioned gangs like Liulihui, the current Xixie group is indeed a makeshift group.

The team leader, Nishikyou Iwao, is a former fitness trainer. His second-in-command, Inoue Hiko, is his gym assistant. Yamazaki Tomoya, who looks like a military advisor, is a former classmate of Nishikyou Iwao's. Later, he became a middle school teacher, but was falsely accused of sexual assault by a school delinquent girl and was fired...

Inoue Hiko took advantage of the moment when Yamazaki Tomoya finished speaking and asked quietly, "Has Brother Nishikie not told Michiko about this yet?"

"Telling her will only make one more person worry. Besides, her boss will look down on her. It would be bad if it affects Michiko's career in Hong Kong."

Nishikie Yanan talked too much and felt the wound on his forehead hurt again. He hissed and motioned Inoue Hiko to hand him a cigarette to relieve the pain.

Then he said, "Everyone, please be quiet for now. I have asked the agent to sell the two gyms to raise money. After I recover from this injury, I will go to Sasa Kentaro to settle this account in person."

The others responded in a depressed mood.

Inoue Yan swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother, what if Michiko knew about this?"

"No, she's in Hong Kong and won't be back anytime soon."

"But I called her the other day."

Inoue Hiko said this with a guilty conscience. Seeing Xixie Yannan suddenly glare at him, he quickly took a step back and added, "I'm also thinking about the Xixie Group. If she can tell her boss in Hong Kong about this, maybe he will send money. Even if she can't afford the Lucky Dragon Gang, she can still find people at sea to buy some guns and ammunition for herself..."

The man from Xixi Xieyan was very angry, and was injured all over and couldn't get up and beat him up. He bent his fingers and shot the cigarette butt over.

The cigarette butt landed on Inoue Hiko's face, sparks flying, and the 1.75-meter-tall Japanese man cried out in pain.

Inoue Hiko kept muttering to himself, "We're working for him, so why should Brother Nishikyo sell his gym to raise money? Besides, I've been calling him for ages and he hasn't replied. Maybe the Chinese are too timid and have given up on developing their business in Japan. In that case, there's no need for us to work for him. All we have to do next is seek revenge on Sasa Kentaro!"

Just as he finished speaking, a discordant voice came from outside the door.

He spoke in a half-fluent Japanese dialect, with a hint of sarcasm: "Chinese people are timid and cowardly? Are you talking about the Fukuryu Gang, which competes with the Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai, and Inagawa-kai in Japan, or the Nurokuen, which made the Metropolitan Police Department helpless right after its establishment?"

Xu Jiasheng, with bald eyebrows and no beard, walked in, biting a cigar. His smile was as friendly as ever, but his words were very arrogant.

He looked at Inoue Hiko like a smiling tiger and continued, "Or maybe you could go to Ikebukuro's Chinatown tonight and repeat what you just said?"

In the ward.

Inoue Hiko, Yamashita Tomoma and others immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and all stood in front of Nishikie Iwao's bed. "Who are you?"

"I've always admired Zhai Yuan's methods, but his decision to hire a bunch of you remnants to work in Dongyang was definitely the worst move."

As soon as Xu Jiasheng's provocative words came out, Inoue Yan and others started shouting and cursing with tongue clicking sounds.

At this time, another young man walked in from outside.

"Wow! Are the six nations conferring the title of Prime Minister?"

As soon as Liang Zhichao entered the ward, he was frightened by the tense atmosphere and took two steps back.

Then he raised his sunglasses to look at the Japanese guy in front of him, and leaned close to Xu Jiasheng and whispered, "Hey, Brother Sheng, didn't you say that when we get to Japan, you would take me to find some girls to hang out with? I thought we were going to have a hospital ward theme this time, who are these people? Rap singers?"

…………

"I always feel it's inappropriate for you to let Ah Chao go to Japan."

Night, Hong Kong.

Natural Selection Casino.

A cool breeze blew on the deck. Chen Jiale, wrapped in a windbreaker, walked over to Zhai Yuan, who was leaning against the railing. "Brother Yuan, how about I go over and keep an eye on Xu Jiasheng?"

After running a pirated videotape business in Hong Kong and training under Ye Zhiming for a period of time, Chen Jiale is now much more calm.

Upon learning that Zhai Yuan had sent Xu Jiasheng to Japan, and that his good-for-nothing cousin was accompanying him, he took the opportunity to come and volunteer tonight while Zhai Yuan was meeting Ye Zhiming.

"I'm developing a porn business in Japan this time. In terms of posture and movements, who can compare with Brother Chao?"

Zhai Yuan was lost in thought, staring at the sea. He was awakened by Chen Jiale and said with a smile, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Back when I was at Sau Mau Ping Secondary School, that gang of thugs beat me up three times a day. But Liang Zhichao, a scoundrel who also didn't pay protection money, managed to get away with it every time. He must be born with luck."

Chen Jiale shook his head. "No, Brother Yuan, Ah Chao is stupid! I'm afraid he won't be enough to play with Xu Jiasheng. This guy has a rebellious streak. If I send him to Japan, I'm afraid he'll be a disaster."

"Tokyo is more chaotic than Hong Kong. The lewd and evil ways must be covered by gangs."

Zhai Yuan took a deep breath against the sea breeze. "A dragon is good, a tiger is good too. Let's raise them first and let them out to bite people. Then we can consider whether they will bite back."

Chen Jiale thought for a moment, "So we want Ah Chao to be the big boss?"

Zhai Yuan smiled and said, "With Brother Chao around, Xu Jiasheng can do things with ease. Are you wary of Brother Chao?"

Chen Jiale was silent for a moment after hearing this: "I'll go and see if Boss Ye has finished his work."

……

We spent another ten minutes on the deck enjoying the sea breeze.

Zhai Yuan reviewed what was happening in Japan.

It was expected that Xixie Yanan would not be able to accomplish this task without the capital injection, but he did not expect that he could not even keep the little piece of land he had developed, but was almost hacked to death by the people of Liuli Society.

In the Kowloon Tong Garden Villa, Nishixie Michiko burst into tears. Although she did not dare to blame Zhai Yuan, she was somewhat dissatisfied.

Zhai Yuan was too lazy to appease the Japanese girl, so he first took out some money from the stock market, asked Xinji to contact the Fulong Gang, and appointed Xu Jiasheng as the general. It depends on whether he can successfully protect the market there this time.

As for letting Liang Zhichao go, in addition to allowing Xu Jiasheng to do his work with freedom, the key is that Zhai Yuan absolutely trusts Brother Chao.

Besides, he even treats the hospital's sperm donation machine as a free benefit. Who else is more suitable than Liang Zhichao to go to Japan to make money from this pillar industry?
At that time, Zhai Yuan only asked him one question: "Brother Chao, do you like Japanese girls?"

Without a second thought, Liang Zhichao handed the video parlor business over to his younger brother in the housing estate and bought a plane ticket at his own expense. "Don't worry, Brother Yuan, we're brothers in our hearts. I'll definitely help you pick out the high-quality ones first, and I'll use the rest myself..."

……

"Damn you! That useless director under the Secretary for Administration is here to collect protection money again. I lost him $100,000 but he still refused to give up. I heard Jiale say that you were waiting for me on the deck, so I lost him another $200,000 in one go, and even paid for next month's money. Hey! Let's each pay half of this bill."

Ye Zhiming walked up, stretching his stiff neck and yawning.

He came to Zhai Yuan, shivering in the cold wind, lit a cigarette and asked with a smile: "What? I heard that you have been making a killing in the stock market recently. Everyone says you are a stock market sniper. Did you come to me to show off?"

Zhai Yuan smiled and took out a check: "Pay me back! This is the interest, and the principal will be deposited into your account in two days."

Ye Zhiming took the check and took a closer look. "Wow! I've earned two million in interest just by lending it out for a few months. Even loan sharks don't make that much."

After that, he looked at Zhai Yuan and smiled, "It seems that you have indeed made a lot of money in the stock market. I don't believe the newspaper that says you make 100 million in a day. You, tell me about it yourself."

Zhai Yuan leaned against the railing and said with a smile, "I'm afraid telling you might upset you."

"Pick! Uncle's flower is called the Billion Diamond Leaf. If I could really come up with ten billion back then, Lui Lok would have changed his name to Brother Yicheng! Is the fan-favorite Lame Ho impressive enough? Back then, he begged to follow my path. I've seen everything. How could you put him down?"

"A billion."

Zhai Yuan smiled as Ye Zhiming boasted about his past experiences, then calmly stated a figure: "To be precise, it should be 970 million. However, I still have to pay a large sum back to you and the bank, so it still won't reach the level of your Diamond Ye. Does this make you feel better?"

Ye Zhiming looked stunned. "Damn you, you really got the upper hand... Did you pocket the money? Remember, only money that's pocketed is money. I was in the oil business back then, and I bought crude oil futures. I saw a lot of money, especially in US dollars! What was the result? The 1973 oil crisis, when the Middle Eastern countries took back the right to set oil prices, was the first time I knew what it meant to turn money into water."

Boss Ye gave earnest instructions.

Zhai Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the money has been redeemed."

Ye Zhiming showed a teachable expression: "That's good, the market changes every day, just redeem it."

Zhai Yuan's smile remained unchanged, but he was thinking in his heart, I wonder if the 900 million I just all-in could be doubled by the end of this month?
"I opened a factory in Yuen Long, you know, doing CD business."

Zhai Yuan changed the subject and briefly explained the differences between optical discs and VCDs to Ye Zhiming. "Brother Ming, you used to work in the film business, so you're considered a veteran. Do you have any experience to share? How can I become the biggest company while still managing distribution, beating Jiahe and New One City?"

"If this CD is as sharp as you say, then I can indeed teach you what to do next."

Ye Zhiming smiled and said, "How about I tell you a story about oil?"
