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

Chapter 109 Ding Yao, the pheasant's value has increased.
Deep Bay, the sun rises from the eastern horizon.

On a sea fishing platform, Shi Yong held a fishing rod and sat under a parasol, fishing.

Xu Jiayan was accompanying them, scattering bait onto the shimmering sea.

"Alright, Lao Xu, sit down and have a chat."

Shi Yong put down his fishing rod and invited Xu Jiayan to sit down next to him.

"Mr. Shi, why don't you fish a little longer? The fish will be biting soon."

"No need, I don't have time to wait here for the fish to bite."

Shi Yong paused for a moment, then continued.

"I heard that recently someone in Wong Tai Sin is planning to build a resettlement house for the refugees from Kowloon Walled City?"

"That's right, the person who built this resettlement housing is the new head of Wo Luen Shing."

Xu Jiayan knew what Shi Yong wanted to ask, so he simply went along with Shi Yong's words and answered accordingly.

"I heard that the planning scheme for this resettlement housing is very good, and each suite is built to a size of 30 square meters."

Compared to the pigeonholes built by those Hong Kong real estate tycoons, the cost is several times higher!

Xu Jiayan nodded: "Yes, I don't know what He Yaozong was after by investing so much money in building resettlement housing."

He's not running for office, and he doesn't need to embellish his reputation, so there's really no reason for him to do something that loses money but only generates publicity.

Do you think that everyone in this world acts solely out of self-interest?

Faced with Shi Yong's question, Xu Jiayan quickly perked up.

"Mr. Shi, there are many people in this world who act based on lofty ideals or noble morals."

But I can guarantee that this person is definitely not Ho Yiu-chung!
This guy is a true opportunist; he'd never do something that loses him money!

"Then tell me, what exactly is he trying to gain by investing so much money in building resettlement housing for those homeless people?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe he's a visionary and has some plans for the future."

At this point, Xu Jiayan realized his slip of the tongue.

He quickly gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject.

"However, the current property market in Hong Kong Island is really too exaggerated."

Even in the New Territories, many properties are selling for as much as HK$2,000 per square foot.

Shi Yong frowned, gazing at the distant Deep Water Bay upscale neighborhood, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It was all caused by those British bastards!"

Faced with Shi Yong's words, Xu Jiayan simply smiled and dared not respond.

Ten years ago, the foreigners knew that being kicked out of Hong Kong Island was only a matter of time.

Over the past decade or so, they have used the pretext of revitalizing Hong Kong Island's economy to focus all their efforts on developing the island's property market.

It's no exaggeration to say that nowadays, in any part of Hong Kong and Kowloon, a so-called "thousand-square-foot mansion" can almost empty the wallets of two generations of an ordinary family!
The potential of Hong Kong Island for the next few decades has been completely plundered and exploited by foreigners and their cronies in the last ten years.

Beneath the thriving economy, undercurrents were already surging.

It's easy to imagine where the resentment of the new generation will go when foreigners leave Hong Kong Island in the future.

Most ordinary people live in the present and don't dwell on history...

After turning his gaze away from the affluent neighborhood in the distance, Shi Yong looked at Xu Jiayan again.

"Old Xu, I heard that you're planning to take over a casino in Macau with Luen Shing and Hung Hing?"

“Mr. Shi, it’s no trouble for you to take such a small matter to heart.”

"I'm curious, back then your New Journal went to Macau more than once, and each time you returned empty-handed."

Do you think these two triads, joining forces, can establish a firm foothold in Macau?

"Whether or not we can gain a foothold in Macau is entirely up to you, Mr. Shi."

Shi Yong immediately waved his hand, but did not speak again.
-

At noon, three hours before Jiang Tiansheng was about to leave for Macau, he called He Yaozong from the Mid-Levels villa area.

He was told over the phone that after the Sanlian Gang learned about Chicken's situation, they had sent people to Hong Kong Island overnight to negotiate with him.

The visitor is currently at his residence, asking He Yaozong if he has time to come over.

Half an hour later, He Yaozong arrived at Jiang Tiansheng's villa by car.

However, this time, in addition to the usually taciturn Chen Luojun, there was also a target shooter among the henchmen.

"Mr. He, Mr. Jiang and the others are waiting for you upstairs."

Upon entering Jiang Tiansheng's villa, a henchman immediately led them towards the reception hall on the second floor.

The henchman only escorted them to the top of the stairs and then stopped there.

Upon entering the reception room, He Yaozong immediately spotted a woman sitting next to Jiang Tiansheng.

Her almond-shaped eyes were bright, her lips seemed coquettish, her hair was as black as a waterfall, her skin was as smooth as cream, yet her demeanor was extremely dignified.

What's most eye-catching is that the woman is wearing a deep V-neck halter top, with the neckline plunging all the way up to her navel.

The V-neckline features thick, bold strokes on both sides, forming a snow-white "eight" character on the chest.

He Yaozong recognized her at a glance; this was Ding Yao, the sister-in-law of the Sanlian Gang and Lei Gong's second wife!

She is a seductive fox spirit with a heart of venom, capable of captivating souls while remaining elusive.

He usually manages gang affairs for Lei Gong in the Sanlian Gang, but he is determined to seize Lei Gong's bird position!

It seems the Sanlian Gang doesn't just take Chicken, this good-for-nothing, seriously; they actually sent Ding Yao over to negotiate with them.

Upon seeing He Yaozong arrive, Jiang Tiansheng quickly stood up and invited him to sit down.

He then introduced it to He Yaozong.

"Ah Yao, this is Ding Yao, the sister-in-law of the Sanlian Gang. Lei Gong just finished his legislative election and is really busy."

To show the Triad's sincerity, he specially arranged for Miss Ding to come and negotiate with you.

After saying that, Jiang Tiansheng looked at Ding Yao: "Miss Ding Yao, the youngest and most promising leader of Wo Luen Shing - He Yaozong."

Today, I'm acting as a peacemaker for both of you. I hope you can sit down and talk things out calmly, so nothing unpleasant happens!

After saying that, Jiang Tiansheng patted He Yaozong on the shoulder again.

"Ah Yao, I need to go and prepare for the trip to Haojiang first."

After Jiang Tiansheng left, Ding Yao stood up first and extended her right hand to He Yaozong.

"Mr. He, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you."

He Yaozong sat on the sofa and shook hands with Ding Yao. His instinctive reaction was to become wary of this woman.

Ding Yao, however, did not notice He Yaozong's unusual behavior, assuming that the pheasant incident had upset him.

Sitting down, Ding Yao rolled up the hem of her skirt above her knees.

"Mr. Ho, the Triad's Chicken returned to Hong Kong Island this time with good intentions."

I heard that you and Mr. Chiang have partnered on a casino in Macau. Chicken came here this time to check out the casino for Hung Hing.

If he has offended us in any way, we urge Mr. Ho to consider the reputation of the Triad and Hung Hing gangs and not to make things difficult for Chicken.

"I'm sorry, I've already made things difficult for you."

"I've already heard about what happened from Mr. Jiang. Since Mr. He has already punished him, could we return the pheasant?"

He Yaozong frowned and gave Ding Yao a cold look.

Only after confirming that Ding Yao hadn't made any demands did he speak.

"Sure, it just depends on how many times your Triads need me to send Chicken back?"

"What do you mean by that, Mr. He?"

"The meaning is simple: if it's to be done in two parts, then I'll deliver the chicken head to Miss Ding first."

If it's in three parts, then I'll send you an arm first!

Ding Yao was stunned.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Mr. He, aren't you going a bit too far?"

"When he brandished knives and guns in my territory and pointed a gun at the head of one of my trusted men, I also felt it was quite excessive!"

"So, Mr. He, what are you prepared to do to get rid of the pheasant?"

He Yaozong sneered.

"To be honest, when Chicken was still working as a valet parking attendant in Causeway Bay, he once fell into my trap."

He paid a million dollars to take the person away from me.

Now that he's a leader in your Triad, his net worth should be at least ten times higher, right?

After saying that, He Yaozong noticed that Ding Yao was slightly taken aback, and then he explained.

"You need to understand, it's Hong Kong dollars, not New Taiwan dollars!"

Ding Yao lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and then answered.

“Mr. He, this is not a small amount of money, and I may not be able to make the decision.”

"If Mr. He is willing to give the Sanlian Gang some face, then we can talk to Lei Gong."

"Then we'll see if Chicken can hold out until Lei Gong comes to negotiate with me." "It won't be long. He'll take a flight to Hong Kong Island tonight and then go to Macau to talk to you about some business."

He Yaozong sat up straight.

"What, you Sanlian Gang also want to get your hands on that casino?"

"It's a collaboration, Mr. He. Mr. Lei has successfully run for a seat in the Legislative Yuan."

He will then take the lead in Kaohsiung to initiate a project to open a charter flight route from Taiwan to Macau.

I can guarantee that at least a thousand customers will be brought to Willie Casino from Taiwan every day.

At that point, the casino won't have to worry about finding junket operators to handle the customer base.

"Damn! No wonder they're the biggest gang in Taiwan. They just start by chartering planes and bring in thousands of customers a day. It makes me feel like a country bumpkin!"

He Yaozong scoffed, then said coldly.

"Are you here to talk to me about pheasants, or to discuss business?"

“Mr. He, these two things are not contradictory.”

"Then let me give you a piece of advice: for business matters, go talk to Jiang Tiansheng!"

As for the pheasant, I don't like waiting for the thunder god to come over either.

I also need to catch a ferry to Macau later, so why don't you just take some men to Temple Street to collect his body?

Upon hearing this, Ding Yao's expression immediately changed drastically.

"Mr. He, everything is negotiable!"

"Then send the money!"

He Yaozong tossed a business card onto Ding Yao's lap.

"Call this number and she'll tell you my company's bank account number. If I don't see the money in my account by 5 PM when I board the ship to Macau, then don't bother talking to me!"

After saying that, He Yaozong stood up and turned to walk downstairs.

Target shooter and Chen Luojun followed closely behind. Ding Yao picked up the business card, glanced at it, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

After He Yaozong and his group left Jiang Tiansheng's residence, Ding Yao stayed there and chatted with Jiang Tiansheng for a few minutes before going down to the parking lot.

After getting into a Bentley and closing the door, the driver immediately turned to Ding Yao and asked her a question.

"So, have they agreed to release them yet?"

Ding Yao shook her head.

"If I had known it would be this difficult, I would have had the old man come over and talk to him."

"Kao Chieh, let's drive back to the hotel first. I want to rest for a while; I need to accompany Grandpa to Macau later."

The driver was none other than Lei Gong's personal bodyguard, Gao Jie.

When Ding Yao went to Hong Kong Island, Lei Gong actually sent him to be in charge of Ding Yao's safety, which shows how much he trusted Ding Yao.

Kao Chieh started the car, and as it slowly drove out of Chiang Tien-sheng's villa, he couldn't help but ask.

"So, are we just going to ignore Shanji? It seems like Jiang Tiansheng doesn't care much about him."

"If something happens to the old man, wouldn't it be a bit far-fetched to pin the blame on Hung Hing?"

"I can't ignore it; I've placed too much bet on Shanji."

"We finally managed to get the old man and Hung Hing together; nothing can go wrong!"

Ding Yao is a wicked woman.

Over the years, she gradually grew closer to Lei Gong and gained his trust, to the point that Lei Gong regarded her as his right-hand woman, and even entrusted Ding Yao with many of the Sanlian Gang's business matters.

But Lei Gong didn't know that this seemingly docile second wife had already used her charms to win over his most trusted confidant, Gao Jie.

Along with the newly emerged pheasant, he too fell into her arms.

They're just waiting for Lei Gong's trip to Haojiang to break down in negotiations with Jiang Tiansheng, then they'll seize the opportunity to launch an attack, eliminate Lei Gong, and take over!
Having followed Lei Gong for so many years, Ding Yao's scheming nature is undeniable.

She was originally a woman, and she knew that if she wanted to firmly grasp the power of the Sanlian Gang, her qualifications as Lei Gong's second wife were far from enough.

But power can be established amidst disputes and wars.

By framing Hung Hing over Lei Gong's death and initiating a war with Hung Hing, the Triads could be united as quickly as possible, allowing her to rapidly build prestige within the Triads in a short period.

When the dust settles and the die is cast, no one will be able to shake Ding Yao's position in the Sanlian Gang.

However, after learning that Wo Luen Shing had suddenly emerged, Ding Yao had to consider whether she should change her plans.

At 4 p.m. sharp, Ho Yiu-chung changed his clothes and prepared to head to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier to catch a ferry.

Just as he picked up the phone to notify Ahua, the phone rang.

I pressed the answer button and found that it was Xiaohui calling.

"Mr. He, we have just received five million from Taiwan in our account."

However, they called to tell me that they are still slowly raising the remaining five million.

"I might have to hand it over to you in person, Mr. He, in Haojiang."
-

At 7 p.m., on the rooftop helipad of the Willy Hotel in Taipa, Macau.

He Yaozong and Jiang Tiansheng met here.

At this point, Taipa had become a sea of ​​lights.

"Ah Yao, look, the night view of Macau is so different from that of Hong Kong Island. Here, the smell of money is everywhere!"

Jiang Tiansheng leaned on a railing, gazing at the night view of Haojiang, and couldn't help but sigh.

He Yaozong also walked to the railing and leaned on it.

However, after looking around, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Didn't Mr. Jiang say that the feng shui here is good? But the feng shui here doesn't seem that great to me!"

Jiang Tiansheng was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to the Taipa Hill to the east and the Shizimen Waterway to the north.

He said, "With mountains behind and water in view, a place where tigers crouch and dragons coil, isn't the feng shui of this place good enough?"

He Yaozong shook his head, stretched his hand over the railing, and pointed to a building on the west side of the Willy Hotel that had recently been topped out.

"Unfortunately, there's a mouth across the street that's trying to steal our food."

"If we don't break those teeth, the wealth will be diverted, which is not a good omen!"

Jiang Tiansheng wholeheartedly agreed.

"There's nothing we can do; this is someone else's territory after all."

The reason the gambling king was able to grant me the operating rights to this casino was probably because another casino could be opened across the street.

Just like the number gang and the water room have been fighting in Macau for so many years, he won't sit idly by and let any one company become dominant!

In Macau, it is a general consensus that the gaming licenses must be unconditionally controlled by the Ho family.

He Yaozong did not respond to this question.

He knew that some things should not be within his consideration for the time being.

One cannot rise to the top overnight; the rules of Macau, established over decades, cannot be broken in a day or two.

He turned around, leaned against the railing, and took out a cigarette to light.

"Mr. Jiang, I remember we talked about the issue of code rights. How do you plan to resolve that?"

Jiang Tiansheng replied, "My younger brother, Jiang Tianyang, is doing quite well in Thailand."

He's in Southeast Asia; he can help me secure a significant portion of the customer base.

"Foreign junket operators coming to Macau to work will get chopped up if they don't pay their respects to the lords!"

"Of course, this time I'm relying on connections to get things done, and I'm also a disciple of your sect."

"Which one?"

"Blackie Rong from the water room, he used to work for Yip Hon and was quite prestigious in the junket business in Macau."

Ah Yao, there's another reason why I asked you to invest: I wanted to see if you could use the name of the company to get the water room to give you some face.

The pumping arrangements are negotiable; I just want to run my business smoothly.

These words made He Yaozong want to laugh.

"Mr. Jiang, although our companies, Wo Luen Shing and Wo On Lok, both have the character 'Wo' in their names, we have had no contact with each other for a long time."

Furthermore, Lai Tung-sing, the current leader of Wo On Lok, is from Kam Wan and has never burned even half a stick of incense at a temple on Hong Kong Island.

Forcing a connection with someone might not be the right thing to do; they might not even give me face!

"He won't give you face, but he can't refuse to give you face without money!"
Ah Yao, do you know why I specifically chose this time to come to Macau? It's because the Water Room and the Number Gang are locked in a fierce battle with no room for reconciliation.

Broken Tooth Koi could come back at any time, so let's settle the score with Lai of the Water House.

No matter how distant you and Lian Sheng may be from his relationship, you are still family in essence.

He won't refuse you as an ally!

"I hope so!"

He Yaozong exhaled a deep puff of smoke. Jiang Tiansheng was a very shrewd fellow.

In the end, he still wanted to drag me to Macau to be a target and share most of the firepower.

However, in business, there should always be a give and take. Jiang Tiansheng has spent a lot of money and taken care of all the relationships before and after. It seems unreasonable for him to expect to reap the benefits without putting in any effort.
