Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 139 The Greeter - Chen Haonan!

Causeway Bay.

Amidst the resounding clang of gongs and drums, a lion dance is leaping and bounding energetically through the street.

"it is good!"

At this moment, the streets were crowded with people cheering. Upon closer inspection, most of them were gangsters with tattoos. Many passersby did not dare to get close and only dared to glance at them from a distance.

Jiang Tiansheng happily peeled off the red cloth from the signboard, revealing the name "Hengtong Express" clearly.

Next to it, there were also a few small words: "Member of Hong Kong Island Express Association", which made it look like an official certification.

Big B led Chen Haonan and the others in clapping and cheering enthusiastically. While clapping, Bao Pi asked:
"Brother Nan, Mr. Jiang is also going into the courier business? Doesn't that make him a competitor of Dongfeng Express?"

Chicken, standing to the side, looked excited: "What a great opponent! With Mr. Chiang stepping in, we have a chance for revenge!"

Last time, they were humiliated by Dongfeng Express and were even forced by their boss to apologize to them in person, which made Shanji very unhappy.

Now that Chiang Tin-sang is also starting a courier company, it will inevitably create competition and conflict with Dongfeng Express. Chicken doesn't believe that the mighty Hung Hing can't defeat a mere Dongfeng Express. There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge!
Chan Ho-nam interrupted Chicken: "Stop talking about this, it's not good if others hear it!"

As the biological son, Chan Ho-nam knew from Brother B that it was Chiang Tin-sang who asked them to apologize last time, so he wasn't sure what Chiang's attitude was. Therefore, it was best not to gossip about this matter.

"Today is Mr. Jiang's opening day, so don't cause any trouble!" Chan Ho-nam patted Chicken on the shoulder and instructed him.

"I know, we're not stupid!" Pheasant waved his hand impatiently.

Chen Haonan nodded, then walked towards the store entrance with a professional smile, greeting and seeing off customers!

At this moment, Chan Ho-nam was dressed in a suit, and his appearance was quite good. Thanks to his good looks, he had been chosen by Chiang Tin-sang to work as a greeter at the entrance!
Let alone being unwilling, how could Chan Ho-nam dare to say no to working for the boss? Plus, he hadn't done a good job on the last mission, so he had a chance to show his face in front of Chiang Tin-sang and make a good impression. How could he not work hard?
Chicken, Forgot, and the others watched from the sidelines, their feelings quite complicated. They had initially chosen to join Hung Hing and become gangsters for the sake of prestige, never imagining they'd be forced into being greeters. What, then, was the point of being a gangster?

Oh wait, none of them are even qualified to be greeters, after all, they're all ugly and their appearance doesn't meet the standards!

The Chiang family has been in Hong Kong for decades and has a lot of connections. Today, with the opening of their new store, people are coming in droves to send flower baskets.

Half an hour later, Chen Haonan felt his smile was almost frozen. He quickly rubbed his face, thinking to himself that this was even more tiring than chopping someone up!

At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz slowly pulled up to the side of the road. After the door opened, Tony got out of the passenger seat first, then opened the back door. A pair of shiny leather shoes stepped onto the steps, and an extraordinary young man slowly descended – it was Ye Dongsheng!

When Chicken saw Tony and Ye Dongsheng, he immediately frowned, instinctively feeling that they were there to cause trouble!
He immediately strode forward, blocking their path, and asked in an unfriendly tone, "What are you doing here?"

Ye Dongsheng didn't even glance at Chicken, simply straightening his clothes. Tony walked up to Chicken and said disdainfully, "Hey kid, you have no right to speak here!"

Chicken's temper flared up instantly. He was about to point at Tony and start cursing when he was slapped on the back of the head. He turned around, clutching his head, and saw Big B glaring at him with a cold expression.

The next moment, Big B pushed Chicken aside, then turned around and put on a smiling face: "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, I was ignorant!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled faintly: "It's alright, Tony~"

Upon hearing this, Tony walked to the back of the Mercedes and took out several flower baskets.

At this moment, Jiang Tiansheng came out of the store and laughed heartily, "President Ye, welcome! Welcome!"

Ye Dongsheng shook hands with him: "Congratulations, Chairman Jiang, on the opening of your new store!"

Watching this scene from a distance, Bao Pi said to Shan Ji, "Brother Ji, I think you'd better give up on revenge! Even Mr. Jiang is giving them so much face!"

Chicken covered his head, looking at Jiang Tiansheng and Ye Dongsheng chatting happily and politely, and said in disbelief, "How could this be!"

At this moment, Chan Ho-nam didn't care about Chicken's condition at all and hurriedly took the flower basket from Tony.

Ye Dongsheng glanced at Chen Haonan, then smiled at Jiang Tiansheng and said, "Chairman Jiang's men are all energetic and spirited!"

Jiang Tiansheng said with a smile, "Young people should be energetic and full of vigor to have drive!"

Then he turned to Chan Ho-nam and said, "Ho-nam, why don't you thank Mr. Ip for the compliment!"

Chan Ho-nam quickly bowed slightly to Yip Tung-sing and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yip!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and nodded, no longer paying attention to the other person, and walked into the store chatting and laughing with Jiang Tiansheng.

Chen Haonan, carrying a flower basket, followed closely behind Jiang Tiansheng and Ye Dongsheng.

At this point, Chan Ho-nam had completely lost the will to oppose Yip Tung-sing. Even Chiang Tin-sang was very polite to him, so what was Chan Ho-nam?
Now that a cooperation agreement had been reached with Jiang Tiansheng, Ye Dongsheng naturally didn't hesitate to make a trip here. After all, Jiang's joining the association was a significant boost to the association's reputation.

Industry associations are only useful if they bring in some important figures; otherwise, if no one pays attention to them, the so-called association is just an empty shell.

From this perspective, the addition of Jiang Tiansheng as vice president is of great significance to the Hong Kong Island Express Association, directly expanding its influence!
Upon entering the store, Ye Dongsheng glanced around and couldn't help but smile. The overall layout was similar to Dongfeng Express. This wasn't unexpected; after all, as the pioneering company, Dongfeng Express was bound to be imitated by everyone else!
Then he saw Hengtong Express's price list:
"One-day delivery: 180 mosquitoes."

Three-day delivery: 90 yuan.

Ye Dongsheng didn't say anything, and didn't violate the guidance price he and Jiang Tiansheng had agreed on.

Jiang Tiansheng's decision to open a shop in Causeway Bay was a very smart one.

Firstly, having learned from the previous experience with Hutchison Express, being too close to Dongfeng Express would obviously lead to direct competition between the two companies, inevitably causing friction. Currently, the two are still in a honeymoon period of cooperation, so naturally they wouldn't do that.

Secondly, Causeway Bay is located on Hong Kong Island, which is not in the same district as Kowloon, where Dongfeng Express is located. They are connected by the Cross-Harbour Tunnel. This makes Hengtong Express's location naturally attractive to customers on Hong Kong Island!

"Mr. Ye, when do you plan to release the news about our association's first meeting?"

"I've already placed the notice in the newspaper. Please keep an eye out for any new courier shops opening on Hong Kong Island in the next two weeks!"

"Don't worry, this little thing can be handled by my men!"

Outside, Big B was scolding Chicken: "Today is Mr. Jiang's grand opening day. I asked you to come and help, and this is how you embarrass me!"

Chan Ho-nam, who had just placed the flower basket, rushed over to persuade him, "Brother B, Chicken didn't do it on purpose!"

Big B glanced at Chicken, who was hanging his head: "What? You're still not convinced? When you're out in the game, you should know your own limitations first, or you won't even know how you died!" "Brother B, Chicken knows he was wrong!" Chan Ho-nam said, quickly pulling Chicken along.

Pheasant gritted his teeth and whispered, "Brother B, I'm sorry!"

Big B snorted coldly: "Learn from Hao Nan more in the future, and be more perceptive!"

At that moment, a hoarse voice rang out: "Tsk tsk tsk, Big B, let's talk this out, no need to shout!"

Big B turned his head and crossed his arms: "Handsome Kun, it's none of your business how I manage my underlings!"

Liang Kun chuckled: "If you can't do your job well and only know how to show off in front of your underlings, what kind of boss are you!"

Clearly, Liang Kun was mocking Big B for failing to kill Ba Bi last time.

Then he walked up to Chan Ho-nam and tried to reach out and pinch Chan Ho-nam's tie, but Chan Ho-nam dodged him.

Laughing, "We're gangsters. If you let your underlings work as waiters, our Hung Hing will become a laughing stock!"

He looked at Chan Ho-nam and said, "Aren't you ashamed to follow a boss like this? How about it, want to join me? I guarantee you'll rise to the top, have a bright future, and be incredibly successful!"

"Damn it! What are you trying to do, Liang Kun! Do you really think I, Big B, am afraid of you?" Big B glared angrily at Liang Kun.

Chan Ho-nam, Chicken, and the others stood beside Big B, saying, "Brother Kun, don't waste your time! We're Brother B's underlings for life!"

Liang Kun glanced at the group and chuckled, "A bunch of blockheads!"

After saying that, he ignored the group and turned to walk into the store.

Big B looked at Liang Kun's back with a hint of fear, then turned to look at Chen Haonan beside him, his expression softening. No wonder he was his beloved son!

Big B patted Chan Ho-nam on the shoulder: "Ho-nam, don't worry, Mr. Chiang has already remembered you. You'll have plenty of opportunities to rise in the ranks later!"

Chan Ho-nam smiled and nodded: "Brother B, I'll do whatever you say!"

Inside the shop, Ye Dongsheng was chatting with Jiang Tiansheng when a hoarse voice suddenly broke in:

"Mr. Jiang, congratulations on your grand opening! May your business prosper!"

Jiang Tiansheng looked to the side and saw Liang Kun walking over, carrying a flower basket.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, Liang Kun, that's very kind of you!"

Liang Kun then looked at Ye Dongsheng: "This must be Mr. Ye from Dongfeng Express, right? I've heard so much about you! I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Hung Hing!"

Jiang Tiansheng frowned upon hearing this. What did Liang Kun mean? Was he testing his relationship with Ye Dongsheng?

Ye Dongsheng glanced at Liang Kun, who was wearing a floral suit with the collar open. The two gangsters behind him had tattoos on their bodies, as if they were afraid people wouldn't know he was a gangster.

He said with a smile, "I'm not famous at all, and I can't compare to Hung Hing. It's just that Mr. Chiang is giving me face!"

Liang Kun smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang represents Hung Hing. Since you are Mr. Jiang's friend, then you are also a friend of Hung Hing! We should keep in touch more often in the future!"

At this moment, Tony walked up and said, "Handsome Kun, since you've been going back and forth like this, how about we talk about what happened in Jordan last time?"

Liang Kun smiled at Tony and said to Jiang Tiansheng, "Mr. Jiang, then I won't disturb your important discussion any longer! You two can continue talking!"

With a smile, Liang Kun walked to the side with Tony.

Do you think Liang Kun supports Jiang Tiansheng's plan to start a courier business? Of course he does!
Chiang Tin-sang, the leader of Hung Hing, is neglecting his duties and not focusing on the triad's underworld business. Instead, he devotes his energy to these "crooked ways," which means he has no time to pay attention to Leung Kwan. Leung Kwan can continue his flour business!
Ye Dongsheng said with a smile, "Jiang Sheng, your subordinate is quite interesting!"

Jiang Tiansheng chuckled and shook his head: "There are quite a few eccentric characters in the Young and Dangerous movies."

Ye Dongsheng glanced at Liang Kun again, wondering how much of a disloyalty this guy had towards Jiang Tiansheng now, and whether he could be used in the future...

After a while, in the Mercedes, Ye Dongsheng asked Tony:
"What did that handsome Kun say to you just now?"

Tony was a little puzzled as to why his boss was asking this, but he answered honestly anyway:

“He asked me how business was at my few places. He even said he envied me because I had no one to control me and could do whatever I wanted. I could even sell flour, unlike his Hung Hing, who could only suffer and collect protection money.”

Ye Dongsheng laughed upon hearing this: "Heh, this guy is testing you!"

Tony laughed and said, "I think so too. I heard before that there was flour sold in Babi's place. Now it seems that it was probably given to him by his sworn brother, Liang Kun. Now he wants to find someone to help him distribute the goods!"

"Don't worry, Brother Sheng, I told him I don't sell flour!"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "Keep a close eye on Liang Kun's movements from now on."

"Hmm? Brother Sheng, should I have someone follow him?"

Ye Dongsheng waved his hand: "No need, just have more people gather information about him and keep an eye on his latest movements. Oh, and the same goes for Big B and his henchman Chen Haonan!"

Although Tony didn't understand his boss's intentions, he still agreed without much effort, since it wouldn't take much work.

Ye Dongsheng was thinking about Hung Hing, Chiang Tin-sang, and Leung Kwan. According to the plot of "Young and Dangerous", Leung Kwan was plotting against Chiang Tin-sang and wanted to take his place.

Although Jiang Tiansheng is currently cooperating with him and the two sides are in a honeymoon period in the short term, and he can be regarded as an ally, in the long run, Hengtong Express is one of Dongfeng Express's biggest competitors.

Therefore, Ye Dongsheng definitely needs to plan ahead and consider how to deal with him in the future. And Liang Kun is a very good pawn!
However, he is not sure when exactly he wants to make a move, and he is even unsure whether, due to his influence and the resulting butterfly effect, he will still force the emperor to abdicate as in the original story.

So now we can only have Tony keep an eye on Lung Kwan's movements, as well as Chan Ho Nam. As long as something happens to Hung Hing, he, as the main character, will be involved!

Then, based on the movements of these individuals, we will formulate a plan to target Jiang Tiansheng!
