Age: My Small World

The speaker was a middle-aged man with some gray hair at his temples, suggesting he was around fifty years old.

"Boss." Lei Bao grinned when he saw Jiang Gong.

Everyone else called Chiang Kung "Mr. Chiang," but only Lei Pao and the first incense master of Tsim Sha Tsui, Skull, called him "Boss," which signified their closeness.

After all, they were people who came from his side, so Lei Bao and Skull's loyalty to Jiang Gong was self-evident.

"Sanjin, what brings you to Tsim Sha Tsui today? Are you trying to make a quick buck again? I told you you're not cut out for business. I'll have Tiansheng help you out in a while."

The "Tian Sheng" he mentioned is his eldest son, Jiang Tian Sheng, who is probably the future leader of Zhongyi Hall.

Lei Bao didn't feel threatened by being stripped of power. Instead, he said gratefully, "Boss, you should have let Tian Sheng come and help me sooner. Managing those things is really troublesome."

"Hehe, you."

Jiang Gong seemed to only then notice that Lei Bao had brought someone with him, and he pretended to look at Yang Jun:
"Sanjin, is this your illegitimate child?"

Lei Bao quickly shook his head: "Boss, this is Ghost Blade, the one who helped me kill Black Dragon. He's very powerful."

"Oh? Ghost Blade."

Jiang Gong stood up.

He walked towards Yang Jun, then smiled and said, "I wonder if Ghost Blade is here this time to join my Loyalty Hall? If so, I'm willing to give you the position of the second leader of Causeway Bay, Ghost Blade. What do you say?"

Jiang Gong speaks in a refined and scholarly manner, but Yang Jun is not fooled by his demeanor.

This old guy probably already knew his identity, so he specially ordered ten gunmen to ambush around the courtyard. The leader was a guy carrying a long knife and covered in skull tattoos, who should be one of his most loyal subordinates, Skeleton.

Moreover, he had no interest in joining the Loyalty Hall. How could a group leader in the planning department join such an organization?

Therefore, Yang Jun shook his head and refused without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I have no interest in joining a gang. I'm here today to discuss a collaboration with you."

Jiang Gong was not surprised by Yang Jun's choice.

If he really wanted to join a gang, he wouldn't have disappeared without a trace the year before last.

"Mr. Ghost Blade, won't you reconsider?"

However, Jiang Gong was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Although he was very wary of Yang Jun, he also greatly admired Yang Jun's skills, especially after a piece of news came yesterday.

If what the news says is true, they have probably underestimated Yang Jun's strength.

"Hehe, I just want to do some business or something."

Yang Jun said shyly.

Seeing this, Jiang Gong stopped talking about joining the Loyalty Hall.

"I wonder what kind of cooperation Mr. Yang is referring to?"

Now he no longer even mentioned the Ghost Blade, clearly having abandoned the ways of the martial arts world and become a businessman.

"Mr. Chiang should know about what happened in Kowloon Walled City yesterday."

Jiang Gong narrowed his eyes: "Of course I know, Mr. Yang, you have some good methods."

"Heh, it's just that I'm a bit more agile in terms of punches and kicks."

Yang Jun waved his hand modestly, but this matter was anything but modest.

"The collaboration I'm referring to is that I'm planning to take over several shops in Kowloon Walled City and would like to invite Chung Yee Tong to open a shop there as well. What do you think?"

"Oh?"

Jiang Gong was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Yang Jun had actually set his sights on the business in Kowloon Walled City.

However, Jiang Gong wasn't very interested. If it were the profit margins of Lin Hao's previous two factories, he might have been a little interested, but with ordinary businesses, there wasn't much to be made. The people living in the walled city weren't wealthy to begin with, so what difference would it make if he opened a few shops there?
You probably can't even earn 100,000 yuan a year. It's much faster to make some extra money in Causeway Bay.

Seeing Jiang Gong's expression, Yang Jun was not surprised.

He stated frankly, "Mr. Jiang knows that I own several clothing stores, right?"

"I've heard Sanjin mention it." Lei Sanjin is Lei Bao's real name.

"I'm planning to collaborate with Mr. Jiang on this business. Would Mr. Jiang be willing?"

Now Jiang Gong was truly interested.

"Is what Mr. Yang said true?"

You have to understand, Yang Jun's clothing store is a goldmine, earning millions a year. If the store continues to expand, how much could it make? Tens of millions? Or even hundreds of millions?

Even if he only takes 30%, that's still tens of millions.

Of course, to really make that much money, clothing stores would probably have to be opened all over Hong Kong, which would be impossible without the help of Chung Yee Tong.

Previously, Jiang Gong knew that Yang Jun had connections with the Xu family, and that his business was limited to Causeway Bay. In addition, he had connections with Lei Bao, so Jiang Gong did not get involved. Otherwise, these families, which seemed to be laying golden eggs, would have been his possession long ago.

"Of course it's true. I plan to open clothing stores all over Hong Kong. I'll need Mr. Jiang's help a lot then."

"It's easy to talk about."

Now Jiang Gong had no choice but to be interested.

The rest was easy. Since one of them was already interested and the other was even more so, their conversation went much more smoothly.

Moreover, Jiang Gong's demands weren't too high, only 30%, a figure that was within Yang Jun's acceptable range.

He also knew that this was only because of the Xu family's influence and the deterrent effect of his actions yesterday.

So, the cooperation was pretty much finalized.

In the early stages, Jiang Gong not only wouldn't receive any money, but he also had to invest some in the clothing store. He wouldn't be able to receive any money until next year, and he could certainly wait that long.

The situation in Kowloon Walled City is almost over. According to Jiang Gong's opinion, they will help him keep an eye on the walled city until Yang Jun's men are able to run the business independently. In the end, Jiang Gong still doesn't care about the profits from the walled city.

Yang Jun was naturally happy to accept this.

Once outside the courtyard, Lei Bao couldn't help but wipe away the sweat that hadn't actually appeared on his forehead.

"Brother, you actually managed to have a back-and-forth conversation with the boss, that's impressive."

Lei Bao gave a thumbs up.

"Hehe, it's just a business deal. Mr. Jiang and I are fairly in sync on this."

Starting with Chiang Kung's generation, the Chiang family has likely been working towards a clean image, but to truly achieve a complete clean image, they probably need to wait until Chiang Tien-sheng comes to power.

Jiang Gong was good at conquering the country, but he was not so good at maintaining it.

One more day.

Yang Jun was accompanied by a full hundred people as he headed to Kowloon Walled City.

In Kowloon Walled City, the corpses and wounded had long since disappeared.

The man who reappeared in Lin Hao's house was a man with a hooked nose, who was slamming his fist on the table menacingly.

"We, Hesheng, must avenge this grudge."

“That’s right, Brother Tian. Ah Hao has been through thick and thin with you, but this time he actually fell into the hands of an outsider.”

"Hmph, everyone disperse and find that guy. I'll deal with him myself." (End of Chapter)
