Hong Kong Movie: At the beginning, Big Boss B asked me to draw the death lottery

Chapter 106 The Trip to Haojiang: All for One, All for One; All for One, All for One.

Shortly after, Xiwei came downstairs with a message.

"Mr. Jiang, Brother Yao asked me to tell you that you can call him in advance next time you come."

It would be embarrassing for you, a top leader, to keep waiting in a place like this.

"Since it's a request, it's only right that we wait."

Jiang Tiansheng didn't seem to care much, and then tentatively asked a question.

"I wonder if Mr. He has said anything about whether he has calmed down regarding the matter with Fatty Li?"

Xiwei nodded in agreement: "He's at Sally's Studio, but Mr. Jiang, don't worry. Brother Yao asked me to tell you that he didn't make things difficult for Fatty Li."

Aside from having a little trouble walking, everything else is fine!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng shook his head slightly, then instructed Chen Yao behind him.

"Ah Yao, hurry up and take some men to take Fatty Li away and bring him to my place."

I'll be home later; I need to talk to him about something in person.

"it is good!"

Chen Yao responded and immediately beckoned his two henchmen to get into his Mercedes.

Then Jiang Tiansheng accompanied Xiwei upstairs, where they met He Yaozong in the office.

Upon seeing He Yaozong, Jiang Tiansheng dismissed his attendants and sent them outside to wait. After exchanging greetings, Jiang Tiansheng sat down opposite He Yaozong.

"People are in high spirits when they have good things to do, and Mr. He's complexion has been getting better and better lately."

Last time we met, I called him Ah Yao; this time, I'll call him Mr. He.

The change in how Jiang Tiansheng was addressed was very natural and did not seem inappropriate at all.

He Yaozong got up and personally made a cup of tea for Jiang Tiansheng.

He then sat down again and began to speak.

"Mr. Jiang, I hope you will not talk about Fatty Li anymore."

This is just a small lesson; if you do it again, I'm afraid I won't be so lenient with you.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Ho Yiu-chung's drastic measure effectively severed Fat Lai's lifeline in Hong Kong!

The magazine was going out of business, and none of the younger guys in North Point wanted to work for such a disgraceful big shot.

If Fat Lai had any shame, he would probably have to live a life of seclusion in Hong Kong Island for the rest of his life, without even the courage to face anyone.

In He Yaozong's words, this was just a small lesson.

"Mr. He, you're being so quick to let me take Fatty Li back, that's quite an honor for me."

However, I've come to see you today because I'd like to discuss some business matters with you.

Jiang Tiansheng simply brushed off the matter of Fatty Li with a light touch, which was considered giving He Yaozong plenty of face.

You know, killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but He Yaozong has really humiliated Hung Hing by putting Fat Lai to this extent.

Jiang Tiansheng, however, was still able to patiently offer a way out, which inevitably cheered He Yaozong up.

"Mr. Jiang, what kind of business?"

"Casinos in Macau!"

Jiang Tiansheng crossed his arms and then continued his sermon.

"Last September, the Ho family opened another hotel in Taipa. I had someone check it out, and the feng shui of the place is good!"
If managed well, even after deducting the bribes from Macau, the Ho family's cut, and the commissions from the junket operators, earning two or three hundred million a year shouldn't be a problem.

He Yaozong couldn't help but chuckle.

"What if it's not managed well?"

Jiang Tiansheng was caught off guard by He Yaozong's question, but he still managed to cover up his embarrassment with a smile.

He said, "The main reason I invited you to cooperate this time is to help me withstand the pressure from Hung Hing."

I will pay your people's salaries monthly, so even if the casino loses money, you won't suffer any loss.

He Yaozong lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Everyone says that Hung Hing's fighters are all incredibly skilled. As the head of Hung Hing, it's not appropriate for Chiang Tin-sang to ask us and Luen Shing to do security for him."

Operating a casino in Macau isn't actually as profitable as one might imagine.

Macau has very strict rules governing gambling. In addition to the expenses that Jiang Tiansheng just mentioned, casinos must hand over 40 percent of their profits to the Macau government.

This money will be used to build up Haojiang's tourism brand, for municipal construction, for charitable fundraising, and to maintain various welfare policies for Haojiang citizens.

Although money circulates rapidly in casinos, the actual net profit that ends up in your hands, after deducting these expenses, is not much.

Even so, it is still a considerable fortune.

But that's not the most crucial point. Why are casinos in Macau so attractive? The most important reason is the constant cash flow within the casinos, and the diverse network of connections built by junket operators!
An exaggerated cash flow provides a unique shortcut for the organization to launder money.

The constant stream of wealthy customers also helps the gang expand its business connections.

People who are out in the world are in it for the money, and no matter how big the organization is, no one can resist these two things!
Jiang Tiansheng answered He Yaozong's question quite fluently.

"Macau is different from Hong Kong Island. For decades, the gambling king has made Macau as solid as an iron plate."

If we, these outside gangs, want to get a share of the pie in Macau, we can't just rely on the gambling king's approval.

The number gang and the water room have been fighting over there for decades, back and forth, and still no one has won. They themselves feel they don't have enough meat in their bowls, and they certainly won't sit idly by and let us outsiders get a share.

That's the truth. Although Hung Hing's gangsters have a very prestigious reputation in Hong Kong, they are not quite as formidable in Macau.

The rivalry between Wan Kuok-koi and Shui Fong Lai in Macau has intensified in recent years.

It has escalated to the point where they hire mercenaries from Vietnam and the Netherlands, who then lead their henchmen in bloody street fights.

These two powerful companies are constantly at odds with each other. If the He family doesn't intervene, one company's leader will have to go out and avoid the limelight for a while, and the other company's leader will have to run away and avoid the limelight for a while.

Not long ago, Shui Fang Lai assigned a gunman to kill Bai Zhi Shan, who was next to Wan Kuok Koi.

This caused Broken Tooth Koi to flee to Europe in a sorry state, but he still remotely directed the Number Gang to fight against Wo On Lok.

After all the fighting, no one could understand one thing—they were making a living under the Ho family's control, and the Ho family would never sit idly by and let the junket business in Macau be dominated by a single triad!
He Yaozong tapped the red Wan in his hand into the ashtray on the table.

He then directly stated his conditions: "Mr. Jiang, I am very interested in the casino business in Macau."

However, I cannot agree to simply send people over to act as bodyguards for you.

Since it's a partnership, let's divide the casino shares. We'll be interdependent, sharing both prosperity and adversity. That's how we can establish a firm foothold in Macau!

Jiang Tiansheng was clearly prepared for He Yaozong's condition.

"Then tell me, if we're talking about equity distribution, how much should I give you?"

"Fifteen, that way no one loses out!"

“Mr. He, you need to understand, I negotiated the acquisition of the casino from the He family.”

He Yaozong took another puff of his cigarette: "How much did it cost to acquire the private dining room's operating rights? I'll split the cost with you, Mr. Jiang, in half."

Although Wo Luen Shing is poor, it shouldn't be a problem for them to grit their teeth and scrape together tens of millions.

If Mr. Jiang is not willing to split the stakes 50/50 with me, then I will have to advise you to find someone more capable.

After saying that, He Yaozong stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, his tone leaving no room for bargaining.

Jiang Tiansheng simply smiled warmly, and his tone became more intimate.

"Ah Yao, you really have guts. I know it's no accident that you were able to take the position of the head of Wo Luen Shing in such a short time."

"Five-for-five is fine. When do you have time to come over and take a look at the contract?"

“I’m available anytime. Mr. Jiang, just call me whenever you have the contract ready.”

After a conversation, the tone for the Macau casino was temporarily set.

Jiang Tiansheng then finished his tea and got up to say goodbye to He Yaozong.

Back in the villa district of East Mid-Levels, Jiang Tiansheng went straight to the living room on the second floor of the villa and found Chen Yao and Fatty Li waiting there for a long time.

"Mr. Jiang!"

Chen Yao got up to greet him, but Fatty Li was leaning against the sofa in a strange posture, his eyes were vacant and he looked like he had no will to live. He did not get up to greet Jiang Tiansheng.

Jiang Tiansheng frowned, then waved his hand at Chen Yao.

"Ah Yao, you go down first. I need to have a private chat with Fatty Li."

"it is good!"

After Chen Yao left, Jiang Tiansheng sat down next to Fatty Li, reached for a cigar box on the coffee table in front of him, took out a cigar, lit it, and handed it to Fatty Li.

Fatty Li blinked, as if he had just come to his senses, and took the cigar.

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Fatty Li, I know you're feeling wronged. But you should also be grateful that you've messed up with another company's leader. I'm already doing you a favor by keeping your life alive."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Li's expression became even more dejected.

He knew that Jiang Tiansheng's words meant that the matter was over.

Hung Hing won't stand up for him. Fatty Lai is destined to be a complete joke for the rest of his life in Hong Kong!

He said he brought it on himself, but how could he be truly at peace with himself?

Holding the cigar in his hand, Fatty Li was about to take a puff, but when he glanced at the cigar, he suddenly felt nauseous.

He had no choice but to put down the cigar and said with a bitter face, "Mr. Jiang, I can't stay in Hong Kong any longer!"

I'd like to sell some of my assets in North Point, and then I need to ask you for a favor!

Where do you want to go? How about Amsterdam?

I happen to have some business over there that needs someone to manage. If you're interested, you could go and check it out for me.

Jiang Tiansheng understood that Fatty Li was preparing to find another way out.

Fat Li shook his head: "Mr. Jiang, I want to go to Thailand!"

Upon hearing the word "Thailand," Jiang Tiansheng couldn't help but raise an eyelid.

What are you going to Thailand for?

"I have some acquaintances in Thailand."

What I'll be doing is unclear for now, but in short, I can't stand being in Hong Kong Island for even a second longer!

"Should I put in a word with Jiang Tianyang and help you find a job over there?"

This was Jiang Tiansheng's test.

Jiang Zhen founded the Hung Hing Society and had two sons.

Later, on his deathbed, Chiang Chen passed the leadership of the family to his eldest son, Chiang Tien-sheng, and also made arrangements for his second son, Chiang Tien-yang, in Southeast Asia, aiming to leave the Chiang family with an alternative path.

However, this also caused a rift between the two Chiang brothers. Although Chiang Tien-yang has been doing well in Thailand in recent years, he still harbors resentment about Chiang Chen passing the torch to his elder brother.

Jiang Tiansheng knew that Fatty Li was dissatisfied and might go to Thailand to seek refuge with Jiang Tianyang!
So asking these questions was also a way of giving Fat Man Li a warning.

Fat Li naturally understood Jiang Tiansheng's concerns, and immediately shook his head in denial.

"Mr. Jiang, just think of this as me going to Thailand to relax."

Right now, I have no interest in anything. I just want to find a quiet place to hide away and not ask about anything.

Seeing Fatty Li's utterly hopeless expression, Jiang Tiansheng decided not to provoke him any further.

He simply nodded in agreement: "Okay, when you get to Thailand, if you need any help, remember to let the club know."

I'll still reserve the land in North Point for you. Don't be too hard on yourself; spend more time there burning incense and praying. Maybe you'll gradually let go of many things."

Fat Li nodded and then stood up.

"Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Jiang. I will go and buy the plane ticket in a bit."

For the properties in North Point that can't be dealt with in a short time, I'll trouble Mr. Jiang and Brother Yao to put in a good word and help me take care of them.

As soon as Fatty Li stepped downstairs, Chen Yao followed right up.

He first glanced down the stairs a few times, then sat down next to Jiang Tiansheng.

"Mr. Jiang, is Fatty Li leaving?"

"If he doesn't leave, it seems like he doesn't have a better option."

Jiang Tiansheng lit a cigar for himself and took a leisurely puff.

Chen Yao lowered his head and considered for a moment before speaking.

"Mr. Jiang, now that the position of driver in North Point is vacant, shouldn't we choose a new driver in Causeway Bay?"

Jiang Tiansheng nodded upon hearing this.

Chen Yao's considerations are not without merit.

In the past few months, Hung Hing has lost two heavyweight leaders.

After Leung Kwan's death, his territory in Mong Kok was completely taken back by the Chiang family, and he was also taken care of by Sister Thirteen and Prince.

But Fat Lai from North Point has also left.

From Wan Chai eastward, in Causeway Bay, North Point, and Chai Wan, Hung Hing no longer has a leader in charge of these three branches!
In time, these gangs will inevitably be destroyed by their arch-rival, Tung Sing.

If the territory is lost, it might not be so easy to find a temporary leader to take charge.

The most urgent task now is for Chiang Tin-sang to cultivate a trusted confidant to take over the Causeway Bay territory and serve as the stabilizing force for these three gangs.

Therefore, Jiang Tiansheng looked at Chen Yao and slowly spoke.

"Ah Yao, do you have anyone in mind who would be a good candidate?"

"Have!"

"tell me the story?"

Chen Yao tossed his half-length curly hair and then said, "The handsome Nan who used to work for Little B has quite a reputation in Causeway Bay."

Since Little B's death, he has been in charge of managing the businesses in Causeway Bay.

I've checked the accounts in Causeway Bay a few times and found that Handsome Nam is quite loyal; he never shortchanges the triads a single penny when paying his bills.

"Handsome Nan is indeed a good person, but the only thing that worries me is that his sworn brother Chicken is now working for the Sanlian Gang in Taiwan."

I'm worried that Handsome Nam is getting too close to the Sanlian Gang. I'm still not entirely comfortable entrusting this prime location of Causeway Bay to him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao continued.

"That's Da Fei from Chai Wan. Ever since Ma Wangjian died, he's been managing the territory in Chai Wan."

In terms of seniority, he's more experienced than Handsome Nan; in terms of ability, Big Fei is fully qualified to be the leader.

"If a big plane is airdropped into Causeway Bay, I'm afraid B's cronies will be dissatisfied."

Chen Yao stopped talking at this point. He had already stated his choice, and it was no longer his place to say what Jiang Tiansheng would do.

All I have to do now is sit here and agree to whatever arrangements Jiang Tiansheng makes!
Sure enough, Jiang Tiansheng took a puff of his cigar and then immediately began to draw his conclusion.

"So, I've already made arrangements with the casino in Macau. It's expected to open at the beginning of next month."

When it comes to my coin and chip business, I plan to have Wo Luen Shing's people negotiate with the Water House. After all, they are both under the Wo Group, so they might be able to give Wo Luen Shing some face. Things that can be settled with money should be settled with money as much as possible.

I plan to arrange for Da Fei and Handsome Nan to go and keep an eye on things at the casino.

"Chen Yao, you go and make it clear to these two that whoever does better in Macau will come back and lead Causeway Bay!"

Chen Yao nodded in deep agreement.

"Mr. Jiang is right. It's only a matter of time before a fight breaks out in Macau."

"We'll see who handles things best then; that person will be the one to lead Causeway Bay. I'm sure those of you in the lower ranks won't have any objections."

……

At 2:30 p.m., Ho Yiu-chung returned to his residence and was just about to take out a suit from the closet to change into before attending a press conference in Central when he suddenly received a call from Tang Judy.

"He Yaozong, the reception at four o'clock has been canceled."

Someone from the Housing Department came to see me, saying that you'll continue to handle the resettlement project at Lok Fu Estate.

"What qualifications are they not verifying anymore? Aren't they investigating whether my Hengyao Real Estate is a shell company?"

"It's not registered under Huasheng Real Estate; your Hengyao Real Estate is just a shell company!"

Tang Judy said irritably, and then spoke.

“I don’t know what happened, but I heard from the Housing Department that the Hong On Properties that they forcibly returned to me seems to have encountered some trouble in Southeast Asia.”

The Housing Department didn't want to get involved and told me not to escalate the matter, so I cancelled the reception.

He Yaozong was not surprised by this.

He simply smiled and replied, "That's fine too, it saves me a lot of trouble."

Just please, Judy, stop talking about my Hengyao Real Estate being a shell company.

After completing the Lok Fu Estate project, I'll be investing a significant amount of money in Phase 1 of Lung Teng Estate.

"I hope you'll have the money to come up with after you finish the Lok Fu Estate project!"
"I have no idea what you're thinking. The resettlement housing is being built to the standards of a thousand-square-foot villa. If you have so much money you don't know what to do with it, I suggest you come over and play a few rounds of mahjong with me when you have some free time!"

Having finally completed the initial construction work in Kowloon Walled City, Tang Judy was clearly in a good mood.

He Yaozong understood and casually closed the wardrobe door.

He said, "I'm not very good at playing mahjong."

However, I've been feeling quite restless lately, so coming over to Judy for a multi-million dollar massage shouldn't be a problem.
