The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 378 They're all formidable opponents! (Seeking monthly votes)

Wu Feng had planned ahead and naturally made a fortune.

Of course, he did it very discreetly, diversifying his investments, so it wouldn't be easy to catch him red-handed.

Don't overestimate the bottom line of some people over there; they have absolutely no bottom line.

If Wu Feng really invests a lot of money recklessly, he could very well be blamed for the stock market crash.

Stock market investors who have suffered heavy losses don't care whether this story is true or not; all they need is someone to vent their anger on.

Normally, at this time, the atmosphere in Taiwan would be tense, but nothing major would happen.

Nobody's a fool. Jumping out at this time is practically making yourself a target, and many people will probably be extremely grateful.

However, the forces of Hong Kong Island Water House and United Group rushed over regardless of everything, frantically fighting with local triads for territory.

Have these two companies gone mad?
They're definitely not crazy; they were just cornered and had no choice but to launch a fierce counterattack to let outsiders know they're not to be trifled with.

For a time, the area was in complete chaos, with frequent brawls between gangs involving dozens or even hundreds of people.

Strangely, it seemed that everyone had a tacit understanding, and they mostly used machetes and sticks, rarely using firearms.

This time, even the government agencies there didn't show any obvious bias.

If something goes wrong, it must be a monster!
Once those who were interested figured out the ins and outs of the matter, they immediately understood why Hong Kong Island Water House and United had acted so erratically.

It turns out that Shuifang and Lianhe failed in their attempt to establish their presence there, but they received news of a booming stock market.

Despite Wu Feng's prior warning, Shui Fang and the top executives of Lianhe had just made a fortune in the Xiao Rizi stock market.

How different is the stock market in Taiwan from the stock market in Xiao Rijia?

The leaders of both gangs completely ignored Wu Feng's warning and secretly raised a lot of funds to invest in the booming stock market.

The results can be imagined!

There's nothing wrong with that; you have to accept the consequences of your bet.

Although there may be losses on the invested funds, if you withdraw in time, you can still keep some of the principal.

But then, they were scammed by market manipulators in the stock market.

In the end, they lost everything!
How could Shuifang and the top management of United possibly tolerate this?
They suffered huge losses this time.

Most of the money I made from the stock market was lost in scams.

Naturally, one needs to find a reason to vent, and most importantly, to find an opportunity to make up for the losses.

They were scammed in Taiwan, so naturally they would seek trouble with local gangs; there's absolutely nothing wrong with that logic.

Just then, his men were still seething with resentment because of their previous failure to raise the flag there.

In particular, the fact that Tung Sing, Hung Hing, and Wo Lien Shing had not only successfully established themselves there but were also thriving made him even more unhappy.

What is there to say?

I'm not afraid of my brothers living a hard life, I'm afraid of my brothers driving a Land Rover!

Clearly, the Water Room and the ambitious or rather, the United guys had long harbored resentment.

With the higher-ups of the organization personally issuing the order, how could the powerful figures below possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?
Then, the situation described above occurred.

To reiterate, without resorting to firearms or underhanded tactics, the fighting capacity of Hong Kong's triads is still considerable.

As a result, the two gangs managed to seize territory there. And not just any outlying areas, but rather bustling streets relatively close to the city center, where the monthly security fees alone amounted to a considerable sum.

The matter should have ended there.

Shui Fang and the senior management of the company received some compensation, and the emotions of their subordinates were also appeased.

Following their usual practices, they could easily support thousands of henchmen along several bustling streets.

Ambitious individuals with considerable strength within the organization could also be transferred there to deal with the counterattack from the local organizations.

With several other Hong Kong Island counterparts setting precedents, Shui Fong and United Learning followed suit without any hindrance.

Damn it, if you have both ambition and ability, then go and make enough contributions to the club. It won't be difficult to rise to the top then.
If you can truly help the organization withstand the pressure and firmly hold onto the newly acquired territory, and the organization provides you with sufficient status and benefits, then it's a win-win situation.

Unfortunately, it's unclear what Lei Gong of the Sanlian Gang was thinking.

Then, it popped up again.

Previously, he tried every means to poach members from Hung Hing, hoping that the outstanding Chicken would join the Triad, but in the end, he was disappointed.

Pheasants aren't stupid!
Without breaking with his brothers like Chan Ho-nam and living a very leisurely life, only someone with a brain full of water would choose to join the Triad.

He didn't know many people in the Sanlian Gang!

In other words, Lei Gong's personal driver, who is also his cousin, is not a formal member of the Sanlian Gang, even though Ding Yao, with whom he has been having a heated argument recently.

When you arrive in an unfamiliar environment, just adapting to it can be a hassle.

Do you really think the old members of the Sanlian Gang are all wooden stakes, posing no threat whatsoever?

In fact, Lei Gong's intentions were quite clear: he wanted to bring in fresh blood and better control the Sanlian Gang.
If Chicken were to switch sides with the Triad, it would only be out of respect for his cousin, and in the end, he would be firmly bound to Lei Gong.

Being a loyal minister in an ancient dynasty is not an easy job.

Whenever there is any disagreement among the senior members of the Sanlian Gang, he might be pushed forward to shield Lei Gong from the first wave of trouble.

In the movie, Chicken clearly has a bit of luck about him.

Lei Gong died too quickly, otherwise who knows how much he would have been used in the future?
Even so, when Lei Fuhong wanted to take back control of the Sanlian Gang, many old members still stood by his side and cheered him on.

These principles were naturally beyond Shanji's current level of understanding, but what could he do when his boss was Wang Zhi?

Wang Zhi didn't value Shanji much; Shanji's skill level was really ordinary in Saigon.

It is estimated that in the end, only by taking the path of the King of Zoumalan can Shanji possibly make a name for himself in the fiercely competitive Saigon gang.

But since Chicken was one of the top leaders of that branch, Wang Zhi naturally didn't want anything to happen to him that would affect the normal operation of the branch.

Then, during the routine drinking party, he would explain the reasons to Shanji, so that Shanji would understand.

Don't do something you'll regret in a moment of impulse.

There's no going back in this world.

If you make the wrong choice, everyone may become your enemy in the future.

Chicken was fairly bright and listened to Wang Zhi's analysis. Since he never intended to switch sides, Lei Gong's attempt to poach him naturally failed.

However, Lei Gong did gain something during this time, at least he learned about Hung Hing's specific intentions in their branch there.
