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

Chapter 118 The Invisible Hand
Since the change of leadership at the Luckin Coffee company, Lung Kin's life has become exceptionally lively.

His uncles, who used to be idle, would find ways to invite him out to play every day.

Today he's testing horses for this brothel, tomorrow he's trying to curry favor with that brothel, or a bunch of old guys dragging him out for tea. After one tea session, he's heard so much flattery that his ears are practically calloused.

However, Lung Gen was very pleased with it, as he had never been so popular when Fat Tang was running a one-man show with SUPP.

Longgen's residence.

At this moment, Chuanbao, Lenglao, and Shuangfandong had just finished playing a round of mahjong with Longgen.

"Damn! Shuangfan Dong, you were way too obvious in feeding Longgen cards today!"
It's just a get-together with a few old friends, is there really any need to make such a fuss?

While shuffling the cards, Chuanbao complained to Shuangfandong.

Shuang Fandong just gave an awkward smile.

"I'm not feeding you cards, Sham Shui Po is really on fire lately, it's just that the feng shui here is too good."

Look at Ah Yao, he's already led his men to Macau to open a casino!

We and the Luen Shing Pharma are really benefiting from Sham Shui Po's prosperity!

Ever since he got those venues in Tsim Sha Tsui thanks to Ho Yiu-chung's help, Shuang Fan-tung has finally figured out one thing—

What good is the face of the older generation?
He spent most of his life in Yuen Long, doing small businesses that others looked down on, but he didn't earn as much as he did in half a month in Tsim Sha Tsui!

I'm so terrified of being poor!

From then on, whenever Shuang Fandong had the chance, he would try his best to praise He Yaozong and Long Gen.

Longgen smiled knowingly, secretly pleased, but still waving his hand modestly.

"Hey, you can't say that."

We in Sham Shui Po were just lucky; a divine gift came our way, and I, Lung Kwan, seized it.

Ah Yao is truly a man of few words. He even said that once the casino business in Macau stabilizes, he'll select a batch of people from each branch to go there, so you can all make a fortune together!

Seeing this, Lao Gui En, who was never good at flattery, immediately slowed down his card-rubbing motion.

He coughed lightly, feeling that he also needed to say something.

"Yes, when have we and Lian Sheng ever had such a person in charge?"

For big businesses like the Macau casino, he single-handedly led his men to conquer them without implicating the other branches.

Once the business is established, they are willing to share some with people in other districts!
I prefer to keep the dragon head staff in Ah Yao's possession. That way, he can be the head of the household every year, and we'll all be rich and powerful. It'll save us old folks the trouble of fighting tooth and nail every two years over who gets to be the leader!

When Lao Gui En said this, Chuan Bao and Shuang Fan Dong were both stunned. They stopped shuffling the cards and looked at him in disbelief.

They never expected that this old man was usually taciturn and liked to act aloof.

If they don't speak, all is well; but when they do speak, they're sure to say something astonishing!
Having spoken such words first, what sweet words will they have left to say in front of Long Gen if they want to gain any benefits in the future?
Seeing the strange expressions on Chuanbao and Shuangfandong's faces, Laogui En stopped shuffling the cards.

"Why are you all looking at me? I'm just offering some constructive advice."

"Hey, is it wrong to speak your mind?"

"That's right! I thought exactly the same thing as you!"

Shuang Fandong quickly took over the conversation, which made Chuanbao feel a little embarrassed.

After all, he was nominally the second most powerful person in the Senate, so he could appropriately flatter Longgen, but he wasn't thick-skinned enough to formally and respectfully fawn over him.

Longgen felt comfortable hearing these words, but he still had some idea of ​​what was going on.

He quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, what's with all this talk about consecutive wins?"

Let's wait until Ah Yao has settled into his role as the head of the company for the next two years. That way, we won't have anyone jumping out and saying that we in Sham Shui Po are trying to break the rules of Wo Shing Wo!

"Grandpa!"

Just as Longgen finished speaking, a henchman ran in from outside and whispered something in Longgen's ear.

Longgen's smiling face immediately fell.

"Are you sure that's what Deng Wei said?"

"Yes, as Uncle Deng said, he can still distinguish right from wrong."

"Right now, the leader is working hard for the triad in Macau. It's only right and proper for him to contribute to the victory of the Wo Luen triad."

"Has this old stubborn man really come to his senses?"

Longgen muttered something under his breath, then immediately overturned the half-finished Great Wall in front of him.

"I'm not playing anymore. Deng Wei asked me to tell Ah Yao that he can help with things in Haojiang!"

Chuanbao was the first to take the lead.

"What happened in Haojiang?"

Longgen couldn't help but smile wryly: "Chuanbao, it seems you've really been too busy these past few days managing the minibus business."

"You didn't know about such explosive news? Should I have someone buy you a newspaper so you can take a look?"

Chuanbao shrugged: "Ah Yao invested millions in minibuses, how could I dare to be careless?"
Stop keeping me in suspense, what exactly happened in Macau?

"Ah Yao is in the Macau area. In order to secure the junket rights there, he chose to cooperate with the Shui Fong side."

This pushed the Number Gang in Macau to their limits. Last night, the Number Gang first sent gunmen to shoot the leaders of two triads near the Fortress Hotel. Fortunately, Ah Yao was prepared and escaped unharmed.

However, Shuifang Lai was not so lucky; he was killed by the Number Gang on his way home.

The water room is in turmoil over the selection of a new leader. Hei Zai Rong, who previously partnered with Ah Yao, is now hesitant due to pressure. Deng Wei says he can step in and persuade Hei Zai Rong!

After he said that, the other three fell silent.

After a long while, Chuanbao finally sighed.

"When you're out in the game, whether you become rich or a complete failure is just a matter of a moment's thought."

"It's already incredibly rare for people like us to be able to retire peacefully!"

Chuanbao's exclamation also drew sighs from several others, but Shuangfandong's mind worked quickly.

Then, he spoke up.

"Yes, so what's so good about electing a leader every two years?"

Look over at the water room; the person in charge is barely cold in death, and the people below are already fighting amongst themselves for power.

We and Luen Shing must learn from this lesson!

His words drew disdain from Chuanbao and Laogui En.

However, Chuanbao didn't choose to tease him. Instead, he stood up and looked at Longgen.

“Longgen, how about I accompany you to talk to Deng Wei first?”

After all, Deng Wei is a senior figure, and many members of the Wo triad are willing to give him face. Since this concerns the interests of the triad, shall we go and have a talk with him?

Longgen nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking, but you shouldn't go over there, Chuanbao."

Last time in Shixiawei, I had a very unpleasant argument with him.

I'm afraid he'll make some unreasonable demands this time, and we'll end up arguing again, putting you in the middle and putting you in an awkward position!

……

About half an hour later, Longgen arrived at Fei Deng's residence.

At this moment, two henchmen were cleaning the balcony of Fat Deng's residence, while the other was ironing a Tang suit for him.

"You guys get out first!"

After entering, Longgen called his two henchmen out before even greeting Fat Deng.

After closing the door, Long Gen walked over to Fat Deng, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, glanced at him, and then sat down next to Fat Deng.

"Brother Wai, these young guys in Sham Shui Po take better care of your daily needs than those guys in Jordan, right?"

"So thoughtful! They practically stand guard at the door when I need to poop or pee!"

Fat Deng responded indifferently.

Longgen leaned back against the sofa cushions and then spoke.

“I bought you an apartment in Sham Shui Po. I told you a long time ago that you should move there. It’s close to me, so it’ll be convenient for us to go out for a cup of health tea together.”

wow-

Fat Deng flipped through the newspaper and answered without looking up.

"No need. Over the years, I've long been used to being alone."

Let's get down to business. Hei Zai Rong and I are old friends. This time, with Shui Fang Lai in trouble, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I was thinking of taking this opportunity to win over Hei Zai Rong. If we could bring him into our Wo Luen Shing organization, then the Wo order could be reorganized, which would be doing justice to the ancestors of the Wo order!

Longgen couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"That sounds nice, but Wo On Lok is doing very well in Macau. Why should they be merged into our Wo Luen Shing?"

"So we need to focus our efforts on Hei Zai Rong!"

Fat Deng put down the newspaper in his hand and said in a serious tone.

"Use the combined strength of Wo Luen Shing to help Hei Zai Rong secure his position as the leader of Wo On Lok. When the time is right, then discuss the merger with Hei Zai Rong."

Two years later, when the leadership changes, Hei Zai Rong will take over the dragon head staff again, and naturally, the two gangs will merge!

Fat Deng still couldn't forget about the change of ownership.

This infuriated Lung Gen: "Brother Wai, you've sent people from Wo On Lok to Hong Kong Island to pick up the Dragon Head Stick from Wo Luen Shing. Aren't you afraid the Wo Luen Shing brothers will have something to say about this?"

"There are two chairpersons! He Anle chairs the board, and we He Liansheng chairs the board too!"
With both sides advancing at the same pace, which triad in Hong Kong and Macau can possibly outdo us in the future?

Fat Deng has completely lost all sense of decency. In order to regain his say in Wo Shing, he even said that there would be two leaders!

However, Long Gen just thought he had lost his mind. If such a thing were brought up, whether it was Wo Shing or Wo On Lok, they would just think that Deng Wei was telling a bad joke.

"Brother Wei, I'd better stop joking around with you."

The most important thing now is to deal with Hei Zai Rong Xian in Macau. What good ideas do you have?

"Let me go to Macau, I want to talk to Blackie Rong in person!"

Seeing that Longgen had hit the nail on the head, Fat Deng immediately responded.

Long Gen nodded, then took out his mobile phone and dialed He Yaozong's number.

Surprisingly, after Lung Gen indicated that Fat Tang wanted to go to Macau to represent Wo Luen Shing in negotiating with Blackie Wing, Ho Yiu Chung immediately agreed on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Long Gen gave Fei Deng a meaningful look.

He then sighed.

"Brother Wei, Ah Yao asked me to tell you that whether Wo Luen Shing can gain a foothold in Macau this time depends on you!"
-

Haojiang, Willie Hotel.

He Yaozong, who had just finished receiving Long Gen's call, was about to go upstairs for some physical therapy when he suddenly bumped into Jiang Tiansheng, who had just come down from the elevator, in the corridor.

"Ah Yao, what a coincidence! I was just about to go find you!"

Jiang Tiansheng stopped in his tracks, his face beaming with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, what makes you so happy?"

"Of course there's good news!"

Jiang Tiansheng walked up to He Yaozong and smiled.

"Brother Amu is here. He's in the coffee shop upstairs. He wants to talk to you about something in person."

As he walked toward the elevator, He Yaozong asked.

"Did you come here to act as a peacemaker for the number gang?"

"I don't know either. Brother Amu specifically asked to see you by name. It's not convenient for me to ask any more questions."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the elevator.

Jiang Tiansheng pressed the button for the upward elevator and then gave a earnest and earnest instruction.

"He holds the only gambling license issued by the Portuguese. No matter what conditions Amu wants, we'd better think it over carefully."

Ah Yao, I'm counting on you this time!

He Yaozong waved his hand.

"Mr. Jiang, there's no need to give any instructions. Let me figure out what you mean first."

In the coffee shop on the tenth floor, a tall, blond, blue-eyed man was sitting at a coffee table next to a floor-to-ceiling window, having been waiting for some time.

Because Willie Hall has been closed for renovations for the past two days, the entire café looks rather empty.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Jiang Tiansheng deliberately cleared the area to make room for Amu and He Yaozong to talk.

"Nice to meet you!"

Upon seeing He Yaozong approach, Amu immediately stood up and politely extended his right hand to He Yaozong.

However, for a moment, he did not know how to address He Yaozong.

As Shuifang Lai had said before, it felt rather strange for Amu, as his deputy, to address the young man in front of him as "Mr. He".

"Brother Amu, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please have a seat."

"sit!"

After the two sat down, Amu took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Mr. He is truly a promising young man. He will surely shine brightly in Macau in the future!"

"Brother Amu, you flatter me. If I'm not mistaken, you're here to speak on behalf of the Number Gang, right?"

Ah Mu smiled, but did not choose to answer He Yaozong's question directly.

"Since Mr. He intends to do business in Macau, he must know how difficult it was for the gambling industry in Macau to develop."

In less than thirty years, Macau has been transformed into one of the world's premier gambling cities, its allure even surpassing that of Las Vegas at one point. The hardships endured are truly unimaginable to most.

He Yaozong remained silent, leaning back in his chair and waiting for Amu to continue.

"Haojiang made its fortune through gambling. The area is small, and hundreds of thousands of Haojiang residents rely on the golden brand of gambling and tourism to make a living!"
For the gambling industry to grow significantly, a stable social security environment is essential.

So much has happened in Macau these past few days! We welcome Hong Kong community groups to do business in Macau, but we can't let hundreds of thousands of Macau residents lose their livelihoods!

Amu was right about what he said.

In the early 1960s, although gambling had long been recognized as a legitimate industry in Macau, it was not as booming as it is today.

Back then, under Portuguese rule, Haojiang was still rife with all sorts of shady businesses, and the gambling industry was not yet a pillar industry in Haojiang!
Until the mid-1960s, the Portuguese killed a demonstrator during a crackdown, sparking an unprecedented wave of public opinion.

Finally, the northern warships sailed right up to their doorstep, and the Portuguese had no choice but to swallow their pride and admit their mistake. They dismissed more than a dozen high-ranking Portuguese officials from the Security Bureau, the Governor personally published an apology in the newspaper, and finally gave the victims' families a huge sum of compensation before the matter was finally brought to a close.

However, from that time on, the backbone of the Portuguese was broken.

The foreigners in Macau realized that they could no longer have the same bargaining power with the north as the British next door.

They simply delegated power, focused on making money, and stopped caring about the future of the Portuguese in Macau.

It was also during that period that the Portuguese issued the only gambling license in Macau to the Ho family.

Over the past thirty years, the gaming industry in Macau has been transformed into a pillar industry of Macau!

He Yaozong spoke up.

"I don't quite understand what Brother Amu means. Why is it that the Number Gang and the Water House have been fighting in Macau for so many years, but they haven't taken away the livelihoods of the people of Macau?"

"Our Hong Kong Island community has only been here for a couple of days, and you're already trying to ruin the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of residents in Macau?"

Amu chuckled lightly: "Let me explain things to you more clearly."

You can continue your business in Macau. You can even personally meet with Hei Zai Rong to help him secure his position as the dealer.

The junket rights in Macau cannot be entirely owned by one person; competition is essential for vitality.

"Broken Tooth Koi will be back soon. I hope Mr. Ho will reconsider and not turn down money!"

Ho Yiu-chung raised an eyebrow. If Mr. Ho personally went to talk to Blackie Wing, then it would be obvious who would be the next chairman of the An-lo Association.

A single street market is far too insignificant.

Ah Mu may have sensed He Yaozong's concerns.

"Don't worry, sir, you won't interfere with Hei Zai Rong's cooperation with others."

"Since you're on good terms with Blackie Wing, his junket business can still take care of you and Luen Shing!"

"Brother Amu, could you please tell me who has such a great influence?"

"I'm sorry, I can't comment on that!"

He Yaozong had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Old Xu from Xinji had already discussed these matters with him, as he had learned from his own experience.

As the leader who controls the livelihoods of tens of thousands of members of the organization, the issue of 'patriotism' will inevitably be put on the agenda sooner or later.

He just didn't expect this invisible giant hand to arrive so quickly!
Fighting and killing on the ground in Macau is no longer solving many problems.

He needs to come up with a new approach to establish himself in Macau.

After pondering for a long time, He Yaozong finally looked at Ah Mu Ge, who was smiling.

"I'm quite curious, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you, Brother Amu, to say something like this to me?"

Amu's smile widened.

"I think Mr. He may have some misunderstanding about my appearance. To be honest, my grandfather was from Haojiang."

Don't let my Portuguese appearance fool you; I grew up speaking Cantonese!
From both a moral and logical standpoint, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with me coming over to act as a middleman for you and the number provider!

Ah Mu's words immediately confirmed He Yaozong's suspicions.

"Okay! Please ask Brother Amu to go back and say hello."

From now on, we and Luen Shing will just do our business peacefully in Hao Kong!

However, I've already stated beforehand that I won't offend others unless they offend me. If anyone tries to cause trouble in the future and doesn't want us and Luen Shing to contribute to the development of the gaming industry in Macau, then don't blame me for making things difficult for them again.

"I'll smash up the reputation of Macau and go back to Hong Kong Island to make a living on my own!"
