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

Chapter 120 Fatty Li: If you want to live a happy life, you have to work yourself to the bone!
Chui Shui-ji and his men respectfully offered incense before the spirit tablet, and then bowed three times in a proper manner.

Finally, he walked toward He Yaozong, who was standing on one side of the mourning hall.

He was an outgoing person, and regardless of whether he had ever dealt with He Yaozong before, he immediately extended his right hand to He Yaozong.

He added with a sigh, "As the saying goes, 'An elder in a Taoist family is like a treasure.' Now that your esteemed elder has passed away, I urge you, Mr. He, to accept this loss with compassion!"

He Yaozong reached out and shook hands with Pakistan.

"Brother Ji is so thoughtful!"

"Not at all. Hung Hing and Wo Luen Shing are friendly brother gangs."

Mr. Jiang is still in Haojiang discussing the reopening of the casino with the Portuguese and won't be back for a while, so I have no choice but to swallow my pride and come over to offer incense on his behalf.

By the way, Mr. He, if you'd like to do any business in Sai Wan in the future, feel free to contact me anytime!

As expected, he's a master of seizing opportunities. Bucky has been in Hung Hing for so many years, relying on a triangular pier to remain standing for so long, all thanks to his ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

He Yaozong didn't refuse him, and simply nodded in agreement.

"Brother Kei said he'll definitely take care of any business he does in Sai Wan in the future!"

"Thank you, Mr. He!"

Knowing his place, Pakki stopped talking after hearing Ho Yiu-chung's words and went to greet the other uncles of the Wo Luen Shing family.

Chuanbao sat with Longgen on one side of the mourning hall, his mind wandering.

He couldn't understand how Deng Wei, who was perfectly fine, could have choked to death on gas inside the house.

However, the police have already conducted an investigation and confirmed that Fat Tang did indeed die in an accident.

He just couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it anymore.

When Ferdinand was alive, he held the second-highest position in the Senate.

Now that Ferdinand is dead, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will still be the second-in-command in the Senate.

At least Lung Gen wasn't as arrogant as Fat Tang, and he was on good terms with the Sham Shui Po faction.

From now on, I'll definitely have more say in things at Wo Shing Wo!

Bangkok, Thailand: Inside a bustling underground boxing gym.

Fatty Li pushed his way through the sweltering crowd to the VIP section upstairs, then walked up to a spirited man with a slicked-back hairstyle.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I'm late."

The person Fatty Li found this time was Jiang Tiansheng's younger brother, Jiang Tianyang.

Compared to Chiang Tin-sang on Hong Kong Island, Chiang Tin-yeung seems to have been more successful in Southeast Asia.

Even in the Bangkok area, many high-ranking Thai officials and politicians are willing to give him face.

"Fatty Li is here, have a seat!"

Jiang Tianyang tossed him a cigar and then pointed to the boxing gym below.

"I told you to come and place your bets, but you didn't come. You missed out on at least 500,000 baht!"

Fatty Li glanced down at the boxing gym and frowned at the skinny Muay Thai fighter.

Fatty Li couldn't help but wonder as he discreetly slipped the cigar Jiang Tianyang had given him into his pocket.

"No way, Mr. Jiang, although I don't know anything about martial arts, how could these skinny arms and legs take down a boxer who's stronger than an ox?"

Jiang Tianyang couldn't help but feel even more smug: "You don't understand, Bangkok is not Hong Kong!"

This boxing gym is my territory. The woman took 100,000 baht from me, and she has to lie down obediently.

The man took 100,000 baht from me, so he still has to lie down obediently!

These words seemed to touch on Fatty Li's painful memories, and he couldn't help but purse his lips.

He could only give a vague reply: "Mr. Jiang is indeed very insightful!"

Noticing the change in Fatty Li's expression, Jiang Tianyang couldn't help but smile apologetically.

"Sorry, Fatty Li, I won several million tonight and didn't consider your feelings for a moment."

But since you're in Thailand now, I advise you to take things easy!
Look at Thailand, men are willing to dress as women in public to earn money. What are a few setbacks compared to that?

"Mr. Jiang is right!"

Jiang Tianyang took a puff of his cigar.

"I'm not trying to teach you, but when you first came to Thailand, my older brother asked me to find a way for you to make money there."

However, during this time, I asked you to help me raise horses in Thailand, but you disagreed.

When asked to deal with the gentry of Southeast Asia, you complain that they are uncultured.

"You keep going to Chiang Rai province every few days. Tell me, what are you trying to do?"

Fatty Li lowered his head, stammering and unable to speak.

But then Jiang Tianyang tapped his cigar on the edge of the table and immediately frowned.

"Fatty Li, you've been to school for a few years, what era are we living in? You need to find a good way to get rich!"

Let me tell you, even Khun Sa of the Golden Triangle doesn't have many more years left to roam.

"You're not cut out for the white powder business in Thailand. Going to Hong Kong for powder production is a dead end!"

Fatty Li quickly shook his head.

"Mr. Jiang, you've probably misunderstood me. I went to Chiang Rai Province simply to visit a few friends!"

Jiang Tianyang narrowed his eyes: "Visiting friends is fine, but Fatty Li, let me greet you first."

There are many businesses in Chiang Rai province that are protected by warlords. Don't be blind to their influence; if you offend the wrong people, even I can't protect you!

"Mr. Jiang is joking. I am in Thailand entirely thanks to your care. How could I dare to cause you any trouble!"

Fatty Li guiltily picked up the glass of wine in front of him, took a sip, and then tried to change the subject.

"Mr. Jiang, is there any extra food tonight?"

I'll go down and place a few bets later, and try my luck with Mr. Jiang's fortune."

"That's it! From making a boxer famous to finally taking that bet, it takes me at least a month to prepare. Do you think money is so easy to earn?"

Jiang Tianyang picked up his cigar, took a puff, and then spoke.

"However, there are a few real boxing matches tonight. If you think you're lucky, why don't you go down and buy a few tickets to try your luck?"

"No, Mr. Jiang, I don't have much spare cash. I'll wait until the next time you open a betting pool for me to add some money."

Jiang Tianyang nodded: "Not bad. Not gambling is winning. If you're willing to be more down-to-earth, I guarantee you'll have a smooth road ahead in Thailand!"

Fatty Li chatted with Jiang Tianyang in the arena for a while, and finally made an excuse to leave the boxing gym.

After leaving the boxing gym, Fat Lai drove himself to a hotel in the Thong Lo district.

After checking in at the hotel, I took the elevator to the thirteenth floor.

Arriving at the door of a room, he rang the doorbell, and a shirtless man immediately opened the door for him.

This person is none other than Crow from Dongxing.

"Let's talk after we get in!"

Fat Li glanced warily at both sides of the corridor a few times, then quickly entered the room.

As the door slammed shut, the crow spoke first.

"What happened? Why are you so late!"

"This is Thailand, and Jiang Tianyang's spies are everywhere."

"He knows everything about my trips to Chiang Rai to manage your goods!"

Fat Li sat on the sofa and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He then said, "The situation is this: the Lao family in Chiang Rai Province has agreed to supply your Dong Sing with goods at a price 20% lower than the market price."

In addition, he will go to the Golden Triangle to negotiate and try to secure a larger supply share for Dongxing each year.

However, he had a condition: he also wanted to have a stake in future business dealings in Hong Kong.

How does he want to participate?

"It means that while your Tung Sing ships goods to Hong Kong Island, you also help him bring a portion of the goods over to distribute!"

He knows the strength of your Tung Sing company and is interested in doing direct sales in Hong Kong!

After finishing speaking, Fat Lai added, "By the way, the price he quoted for direct sales of No. 4 in Hong Kong Island is 90% of the current market price in Hong Kong Island."

That means you can pocket the extra 10% from sales!

The crows fell silent.

Finally, he sat down next to Fatty Li and put his hand on Fatty Li's shoulder.

This made Fatty Li somewhat disgusted.

"Fatty Li, can you tell me who this 'Lao' is?"

"Not for now!"

Fat Li shook his head decisively: "After you've done what I asked you to do, you can only contact this 'Lao' through me."

Fatty Li pushed the crow's hand off his shoulder as he spoke.

Then he said in a serious tone: "I will definitely kill those two bastards, He Yaozong and Jiang Tiansheng!"

Once you've expanded your supply chain and are no longer restricted by camels in Dongxing, then proceed according to plan and help me eliminate Jiang Tiansheng!
Then I'll frame Ho Yiu-chung. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll return to Hong Kong Island with Chiang Tin-yeung. Our two triads will join forces and divide up the Wo Luen Shing's territory!

The crow simply shook its head.

"You're so vicious, always wanting to kill the leader of your Hung Hing?"

"If you want to live a happy life, you have to work yourself to the bone!"

Jiang Tiansheng has been unkind to me, so he shouldn't blame me for being unjust.

"If he doesn't die, it will be difficult to unite the entire Hung Hing faction and fight against Ho Yiu-chung!"

"You make it sound so easy, as if the territory of Wo Shing is already within easy reach!"
I know He Yaozong well; he's incredibly cruel. I'm afraid if I accidentally fall into his hands, it would be worse than death!

Fatty Li glared coldly at Crow.

"So you're just going to stay in Yuen Long and be a country bumpkin for the rest of your life?!"

The crow was taken aback for a moment, then revealed a sinister smile.

"You're really something. To tell you the truth, last time the old man died, the camel reluctantly gave in, and I was really annoyed!"
However, I won't discuss the long-term implications of your plan for now; it seems there are still some flaws in the current situation.

"What loophole?"

“We, Tung Sing, come to Thailand to purchase goods, and all our goods must enter the country through Yuen Long.”

The white paper fans from our Dongxing factory were counted and registered.

"You want me to help the Lao family in Chiang Rai do direct sales in Hong Kong? I'm afraid even if I agree, people like Camel and Guan Shulun won't!"

Fatty Li sneered: "Don't worry, I've already thought of this for you."

From now on, your goods will bypass Yuen Long and enter through the Sai Wan Ferry Pier!

"Baki, the driver of the fishing boat in Hung Hing Sai Wan, is a money-grubbing bastard. If you give him a small sum of money and say you want to haul chilled seafood from his pier, he definitely won't refuse!"

"Isn't he afraid of being held accountable by Jiang Tiansheng?"

Fatty Li couldn't help but chuckle.

"You don't understand Bucky. He's not very capable, but he's famous among the big gangs in Hong Kong."

Their greatest skill is to be swayed by the wind and to pretend to be ignorant when they know the truth.

If you bribe him properly, even if he knows the ship is carrying heroin, he'll pretend to be clueless. Even if things are exposed and Jiang Tiansheng holds him accountable, he'll just say he knows nothing.

After saying that, Fatty Li's face turned cold, and he lowered his voice.

"Besides, I had you load the goods in the Sai Wan area, so there's absolutely no way anything could go wrong!"

"Crow, you'd never guess that among those office workers in the Hong Kong Island Police Department, I have a powerful backer!"

Upon hearing this, the crow couldn't help but point at Fatty Li and burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Damn it! If you had connections in the police department, would you have gotten yourself into trouble?"
"Fatty Li, you wouldn't happen to have... suffered too much trauma and gone a little crazy, would you?"

It has to be said, Crow is a really hateful person!
Faced with his biting sarcasm, Fatty Li had no choice but to swallow his bitterness.

“Crow, you’re a runaway who just came back from the Netherlands, so naturally you don’t know what has happened in Hong Kong over the years!”
In recent years, almost every well-known triad in Hong Kong Island has been summoned for questioning by foreigners!
If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your boss to see if it's true!

The words "runaway" made Crow's face stiffen.

"Fatty Li, what do you mean by that?"

"Hmph! I work for the British, and He Yaozong is a thorn in their side!"
"As long as we can break up the Wo Luen Shing empire and shut Ho Yiu-chung down, even if it means allowing you to smuggle heroin into Hong Kong, the British will grit their teeth and accept it!"

The crow tilted its head and glanced sideways at Fatty Li.

"You mean... I'm qualified to be the British's dog?"

"So many people want to do it but aren't qualified yet!"
"People like Dongxing, who started by selling drugs, will eventually be dragged to the mainland for target practice one by one in a few years!"

"That's right, people who have studied for a few more days think long-term."

"But there's no point in saying too much. Right now, I just want to see my goods turn over quickly. If you can really help me gain a voice in Dongxing, as you say, then I can formally say 'Happy cooperation!'"

After saying that, the crow stretched out its palm and presented it to Fatty Li.

Fatty Li, with a cold face, reluctantly shook hands with Crow.

He immediately said, "Working with you hasn't been very pleasant!"
I hope that in the future, when you chat with me, you won't talk about things you shouldn't!

"understand!"

Crow grabbed Fatty Li's hand and shook it hard twice.

Finally, amidst a cacophony of ravenous laughter, Fat Li stood up and walked out of the hotel.
-

July is the hottest and most humid month.

That day, He Yaozong brought a newly drafted proposal to Zhonghuan Huasheng Real Estate and found Tang Judy.

Upon entering the office, I noticed that Tang Judy looked rather unwell.

"You're here? I was just about to call you!"

As Tang Judy spoke, she opened a drawer, took out a stack of documents, and was about to speak when He Yaozong interrupted her first.

"Judy, I don't think you're planning to tell me any good news."

But I'm in a good mood today, so let me finish what I have to say first, and then you can tell me what you want to say!

Upon hearing this, Tang Judy simply put down the stack of documents and then nodded at He Yaozong.

"Alright, tell me about your matter first!"

"Two things. First, I heard that Huasheng Real Estate once developed a hillside villa project in Bijia Mountain."

However, the commencement of the Lion Rock Tunnel construction later hampered the real estate development process, and land prices failed to rise. Is that true?

Tang Judy nodded: "That's right, it was a failed investment."

Originally, I wanted to hold onto this project for a while, but unexpectedly, Hutchison Whampoa developed a mountaintop project there, which made my project a second-rate competitor of Bijia Mountain.

"No wealthy person of sufficient means would want to live right under someone else's roof—they're neither here nor there!"

"I don't mind. How about Judy considers selling me that hillside mansion at a lower price?"

Tang Judy couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Why did you suddenly decide to move?"

He Yaozong crossed his legs and sighed deeply.

"I'm sure Judy has heard about what's been happening in Macau lately."

As someone who lives in the martial arts world, I have to consider my own safety.

Having a spacious residential area, enough to house a group of trusted confidants, is also very necessary.

Tang Judy lowered her head and pondered for a moment before finally speaking.

"Thirty million, consider it a half-sale, half-gift."

If you don't have enough spare cash, you can also draft a contract for installment payments, and I won't charge you interest!

"Judy, you're so generous! I'm so glad I made the right friend!"

He Yaozong smiled and clapped his hands, then threw the proposal in his hand in front of Tang Judy.

Then he began, "Now let's talk about the second thing."

Construction has already begun on the first phase of resettlement housing in Lok Fu Estate.

However, as far as I know, there are still at least two hundred residents waiting to be resettled in the walled city.

Yesterday afternoon, I had my agent submit an application to the Housing Department. I plan to acquire another plot of land in Wong Tai Sin and merge it with the first phase of the resettlement housing area to build Heng Yiu Resettlement Housing Estate!

Upon hearing this, Tang Judy quickly picked up the proposal and began to read it.

The more she looked, the more her brows furrowed.

After a long while, she finally threw the proposal on the table and couldn't help but question He Yaozong.

"Are you crazy? It's one thing to build resettlement housing to the standards of a thousand-square-foot mansion, but you also want to build public works projects, a football field, and a nursing home in the housing estate!"

Do you know that the housing department's subsidy wasn't even enough to buy this land?

He Yaozong spread his hands: "Sister Judy, I'll pay for everything, why are you so agitated?"
Besides, the effort I put into ensuring the resettlement project was successful also benefits the reputation of your Huasheng Real Estate.

"You idiot, you shrimp head!"

"If I'd known you were so rich, I should have sold you the villa on Bijia Mountain for the original price!"

Tang Judy glared at He Yaozong with her lowered eyebrows, then threw the document she had just taken out in front of He Yaozong.

"Take a look at this document first. If the Housing Department hasn't signed it yet, hurry up and get the land acquisition application back!"

He Yaozong picked up the stack of documents that Tang Judy had thrown at him and glanced at them briefly.

She quickly realized why Tom and Judy seemed to be in a bad mood today.

"It seems that many people are eyeing this land in Kowloon Walled City!"

"That's right. Ever since Huasheng Real Estate and your Hengyao Real Estate completed the land acquisition in Kowloon City, Hysan Development and Henderson Land Development have been submitting applications to the Lands Authority."

They argued that Kowloon Walled City was an enclave and planned to hand over the land to the Lands Department for the purpose of building parks and resettlement housing estates!
In other words, the first phase of the Lung Teng development project is very likely to be canceled. Once the Kowloon Walled City is demolished and parks and resettlement housing estates are built next to it, the commercial value of the land in this area will be greatly reduced!

Tang Judy sighed and said, "These real estate tycoons would rather die than live in dishonor."

They're forcing me to recoup my investment and resell the Kowloon Walled City land to them.

I don't have their wealth. They can hang out with me in the Walled City for ten or twenty years, but I've staked everything on this real estate, and it's already tied up too much of the company's working capital. I can't afford to waste time with them!
