Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 232 The Villainous Handsome Kun
“In the past, Mong Kok only had two streets that we took from the Ni family. These two streets were divided among Sha Qiang and Ah Niu for management. We basically didn’t interfere; they managed everything on their own,” Wang Dao said slowly.

Liang Kun said thoughtfully, "Ah Dao, weren't you already putting the corporatization of the club into practice back then?"

It's no wonder that Liang Kun was slow to realize this. Back then, Wang Dao kept making empty promises to him, telling him to focus his energy on his main business, even though the film and television company wouldn't generate real profits for another three months.

If someone else came along, they might not have taken advantage of the promises made by Wang Dao, but Liang Kun comes from a business background, and he can clearly distinguish between a vision and empty promises.

In addition, Wang Dao's "luck" was truly extraordinary. The film and television company had no income in the first month, but Wang Dao directly led Liang Kun to take off on another track.

If you can make money legitimately, who the hell would want to join a gang?

Anyway, Kwan isn't stupid.

“Every time we went to collect debts, you always sent Ah Ren. Back then, Ah Ren was just a peripheral member of our core team.” Liang Kun now understood the key point: “If we sent Ah Ren to collect debts, any unexpected events wouldn’t affect us.”

Wang Dao laughed and said, "It's not that exaggerated. A-Qiang and A-Niu are both veterans under Brother Kun, and they know their place. But I did subtly reinforce their sense of hierarchy through my actions!"

Liang Kun was taken aback.

"Most importantly, after you assigned the two streets to these two people, you never interfered with their management," Wang Dao explained. "For them, working under you, Boss, is not only as comfortable as being a Fit boss, but their actual performance is also almost the same!"

Liang Kun nodded slightly: "Yes, after three months of training, these two are capable enough to be the leaders even if they leave me."

If someone in a gang wants to rise to the top, it's not enough to just risk their life; they also need someone to mentor them.

Even if a powerful figure gives you a title, does that mean you can do well in the industry?

You have to understand that these guys who go out into the world generally don't have much knowledge. The smarter ones secretly learn from the big shots, but most of them need someone to teach them.

Earning money should be shared, and learning should be taught. This is something only a conscientious and capable person would do.

That petty guy would want you to work for him for life, let him teach you? Where do you find so many good things?

However, Liang Kun did just that after being persuaded by Wang Dao. The direct consequence was that both Sha Qiang and Ah Niu were extremely grateful to Liang Kun.

They never saw such a great leader.

Before following Brother Lung, they followed Brother Lung. Even though Brother Lung had a good reputation for treating his underlings, he was no match for Brother Lung, let alone other leaders or big shots from other gangs.

A big shot like Leung Kwan, who protects his younger brother when he has problems and solves his troubles, is extremely rare.

Needless to say, Liang Kun doesn't care at all whether they are his underlings or not. As long as they can deliver on time, they can do whatever they want.

Whether it's Sha Qiang or Ah Niu, they naturally develop a sense of awe towards Liang Kun.

In a community, this kind of reverence translates into a sense of class.

Those who follow Liang Kun are all big shots; the next level up are just like them, guarding the territory for the gang.

When Wang Dao established these things, he did so quietly and with remarkable results. Every time Chen Yongren went to collect debts, whether it was Sha Qiang or Ah Niu, they had to treat him to a good meal and subtly inquire about Liang Kun's feelings towards them.

If Leung Kwan can make them rise to power, then he can naturally make them fall from power.

"The advantage of doing this is that the relationship between the gang and us is not very strong. We only need to send out a mid-level manager to control a large gang."

"It's practically impossible for the police to find any dirt on us through the gang."

Wang Dao said these words with a smile.

If at this moment, someone were to come up and tell Liang Kun that Wang Dao was an undercover agent sent by the police, Liang Kun would slap that person's head into a pig's head and then throw him into the sea to feed the fish.

Are you kidding me? There would be an undercover agent teaching me to do something like this?

He absolutely does not believe it.

"What if they bypass the gang?" Liang Kun asked after thinking for a moment.

Wang Dao didn't understand: "What do you mean by bypassing the club?"

"You're going to bypass the triads to investigate me!" Handsome Kun decided to be even more blunt.

Wang Dao stared wide-eyed at Liang Kun in disbelief: "Boss, do you want to hear what you're saying?"

“You’re a legitimate businessman,” Wang Dao retorted. “If we put in a little more effort, you could even be a contender for this year’s Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons. How could the police find anything on you? Even the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) couldn’t do anything about it!”

Liang Kun chuckled dryly, "I was just kidding."

He wanted to slap himself. He had thought it over and over again before making such a stupid decision.

What a shame!

Wang Dao nodded repeatedly, indicating that he believed what the other party said.

Liang Kun felt even more ashamed. The two of them had become very familiar with each other's habits over the past few months, and Wang Dao was making no attempt to hide his mockery.

Unlike his other subordinates, Wang Dao doesn't hesitate to mock others when they make mistakes. Of course, this is mostly done in private.

Wang Dao never mocks himself when outsiders are present, except when he is with close friends.

This made Liang Kun feel quite comfortable.

He wasn't from a privileged background, and what he longed for most was for someone to treat him like a brother. Wang Dao's performance was just right.

Incidentally, while Leung Kwan often says things like "the only way to survive in this world is to make money" and "loyalty is just being a lamb to the slaughter," he genuinely wants a brother who values ​​loyalty.

Perhaps it's the kind of person who shows off what they lack most.

Young Kun craves loyal and righteous brothers, so he treats his subordinates very well.

"Mong Kok is basically divided between us and the Yi group now, so we need to seriously consider how to allocate it. Ah Dao, what's your opinion?"

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said, "I previously suggested that Jianjun, Yaowen, and Aniu share Mong Kok equally, but now I think that's not appropriate."

"Oh, is there something wrong?" Liang Kun raised his eyebrows, eagerly anticipating Wang Dao's explanation.

"It's actually very simple. All three of them put in a lot of effort to take down Mong Kok, but you should know who the real hero is, Boss." Wang Dao said with a hint of helplessness.

Liang Kun exclaimed, "Jianjun is truly brave. That's right, he's number one. His achievements far surpass those of Ah Niu Yaowen."

"Then let Jianjun take control of the largest territory?" Liang Kun offered his suggestion.

Wang Dao disagreed: "Jianjun does not participate in management, and his organization cannot be broken up. Thirty people can only play a role when they are gathered together."

"So what do you mean?" Liang Kun reminded him, "If we don't distribute the spoils fairly, it will cause disunity within the Jianjun army."

Wang Dao offered another solution: "How about Ah Niu and Yao Wen split the Mong Kok share equally?"

"Jianjun won't participate in the distribution?" Liang Kun was startled. "Jianjun will definitely have objections."

Wang Dao chuckled and said, "I'm going to give him a share of the profits from those two territories."

Ok? !

"You mean..." Liang Kun seemed to have grasped the key point, "that part of the money that was originally going to be handed over to us should be given to Jianjun?"

Wang Dao smiled and nodded: "From now on, neither A Niu nor Yao Wen need to hand over their accounts to us. Just hand them over to Jian Jun. At most, when collecting accounts, have A Ren send someone to accompany Jian Jun's men to prevent them from being cheated."

"You want to keep Jianjun by your side?" Liang Kun finally understood Wang Dao's strategy.

Wang Dao said calmly, "Of course, it's better to keep such a powerful weapon by our side. Even if it's just as a security force, it's much better than letting them indulge in the glitz and glamour of Hong Kong."

"The allure of wine and women is so strong that I would feel heartbroken if they lost even one of them."

Liang Kun nodded slowly: "That makes sense!"

“That makes a lot of sense.” Liang Kun stood up excitedly. “They can serve as a mobile force. If Ah Niu and Yao Wen get into trouble, they can come to help immediately.”

“Jianjun and his gang have already made a name for themselves in the gang. People in the underworld don’t know exactly where I’ve placed Jianjun and his gang. This will make them hesitant and timid when facing us, afraid that Jianjun might come out and give them a good beating.”

“That’s deterrence,” Wang Dao added softly to Liang Kun.

Liang Kun laughed heartily: "That's right, that's exactly it."

"This is a good opportunity for Ah Niu and Yao Wen to hone their skills."

"How can one stand on their own without training?"

…………

As the two were talking, Chen Yongren knocked on the door and came in, his expression quite awkward.
"Boss, big shot, someone wants to see you."

“Ah Ren, are you feeling unwell?” Liang Kun noticed Chen Yongren’s unusual condition at a glance.

Chen Yongren smiled wryly, "No. It's Ni Yongxiao who wants to see me!" "What does Ni Yongxiao want with me?" Liang Kun was quite surprised, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Please invite him in!"

Wang Dao patted Chen Yongren on the shoulder: "Relax, it's just business!"

"It's a big shot, I'll invite him in right away." Chen Yongren quickly withdrew.

Liang Kun asked, "What brings Ni Yongxiao here?"

"They're probably scared and want to find out why we're acting so strangely," Wang Dao casually guessed.

"Should we tell them?" Liang Kun asked again.

“Of course, we’re not James’s henchmen. This is a good time to make good use of Ni Yongxiao.” Wang Dao didn’t hesitate at all.

Liang Kun laughed and said, "That's really your style, clean and efficient."

"We're here to make a living, after all," Wang Dao said with a smile.

"Mr. Li and Mr. Wang meet again." Ni Yongxiao came in and saw Liang Kun and Wang Dao chatting happily. He pushed up his glasses and asked, "I wonder if you have any good news to share with me?"

With a smile, Liang Kun gestured for Ni Yongxiao and Luo Ji to sit down, and then instructed, "Ah Ren, go and pour two cups of coffee. And bring us two cups of tea while you're at it."

“No need, we can just have tea.” Ni Yongxiao quickly interrupted Liang Kun.

Liang Kun waved his hand, and Chen Yongren quickly stepped back.

"Mr. Ni, you didn't come here just to ask me for a cup of tea, did you?" Liang Kun said with a smile. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Ni Yongxiao stood ramrod straight, speaking slowly and deliberately with his usual calm demeanor: "Mr. Li, is Hung Hing trying to declare war on our Ni family by staging this grand dragon and phoenix event?"

"Declare war?" Handsome Kun waved his hand. "Everyone in the underworld knows that I, Ah Kun, am a respectable businessman and I hate smuggling drugs the most."

"If you dare to show up at my place in this setting, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

“A few days ago, some bastards called the Annan Three Brothers dared to cause trouble in my territory.”

"Those three guys were drug dealers, and now what happened to them..."

"The seventh day after his death is coming soon."

Luo Ji was shocked and quickly stepped forward to protect Ni Yongxiao, looking at Liang Kun with a nervous expression.

“Don’t overreact,” Ni Yongxiao shook his head at Luo Ji. “Li Sheng said he won’t lay a hand on me.”

Luo Ji was dumbfounded. They were threatening him, and they still wouldn't attack him?
Ni Yongxiao remained calm, and this was not an act. Liang Kun had already made things clear that he would not attack him. Unfortunately, Luo Ji did not understand the implication in Liang Kun's words.

Liang Kun glanced at Luo Ji with amusement and chuckled, "Ah Xiao, your bodyguard is good, but he's not suitable to overhear our conversation, don't you think?"

“That makes sense,” Ni Yongxiao said to Luo Ji. “Go wait outside for a while.”

Luo Ji glanced at Liang Kun, then nodded and left.

“Now, can we talk?” Ni Yongxiao asked softly.

Handsome Kun laughed and asked, "What did you say?"

“Anything is negotiable,” Ni Yongxiao said slowly. “Hung Hing has suddenly made such a big move in Yau Tsim Mong. Are they planning to fight our Ni family next?”

Liang Kun gave him a cold look: "Fight? No, I'm just a businessman, I have no intention of fighting with the Ni family."

"Then why did you suddenly make such a big move?" Ni Yongxiao didn't believe Liang Kun's words.

Liang Kun grinned, his voice hoarse and unpleasant: "I'm a businessman, and what I like to do most is take advantage of others."

“Someone is planning to deal with you, but they are afraid that if they eliminate you, Yau Tsim Mong will become unstable, so they have hinted to the three triads in Yau Tsim Mong to launch a campaign of conquest.”

"That is, the activities you see."

“Deal with us?” Ni Yongxiao sneered. “The police have been fighting with my father for more than ten years, but they haven’t been able to do anything to him. Now they dare to say they want to wipe out my Ni family. They’re really talking big.”

Handsome Kun shook his finger: "Not necessarily!"

"Chen Guozhong can't possibly have absolute power in the police station, can he?" Ni Yongxiao sneered.

Liang Kun exclaimed in astonishment, "Ah Chung wants to deal with you? That makes sense. Even I sometimes can't help but want to take down your group of fans, but this operation is not something Ah Chung can initiate."

“You know that Ah Chung is a policeman, and they are very particular about evidence when handling cases.”

Ni Yongxiao's expression changed drastically: "Not Chen Guozhong?"

“It’s not Ah Chung.” Liang Kun smiled as he saw Ni Yongxiao’s expression. “I thought you would always be so calm.”

Ni Yongxiao took a deep breath: "Mr. Li, can you tell me who is targeting our family?"

He had thought that Liang Kun wouldn't say, but to his surprise, Liang Kun readily offered a name: "Of course, his name is James."

“You…you just told me that?” Ni Yongxiao looked at Liang Kun in disbelief.

"Why didn't I tell you?" Liang Kun chuckled.

He took the teacup Chen Yongren handed him, and watching Chen Yongren's disappearing figure, he said...

"I hold grudges. If someone makes me feel bad, I won't feel good either."

"James initially tried to drag me down with his connections, but thankfully, Little B killed him."

"Otherwise, I'll be running into James."

"After Little B died, James quickly selected two more people to come: one was Da Puhei from Heliansheng, and the other was Bai Touweng from Hexingsheng."

"I'm a very vengeful person, so I immediately told the people in charge on both sides about how the two of them were seduced by James."

"Now..."

Liang Kun smiled very happily.

"Where is James now?" Ni Yongxiao looked at Liang Kun with a puzzled expression. He was really curious about James's whereabouts.

"He's definitely in the hospital right now," said Liang Kun matter-of-factly.

Ni Yongxiao's pupils contracted. This guy really is a madman. Once you offend him, he will never give up.

He's really petty.

However, a question arose in his mind: "Mr. Li, since James is already in the hospital, this big move of yours wasn't instigated by James, was it?"

"No, no, no," Liang Kun waved his hand with a smile, looking at Ni Yongxiao with pity. "It was James who planned it, but I contacted the other gangs."

“James has a grudge against me, and he’s stupid enough to think I don’t know it.”

"How is that possible?"

Ni Yongxiao looked at Liang Kun incredulously: "That James is so powerful? Even after being retaliated against by He Liansheng and Xingsheng, he still dared to plot an action against my Ni family? Does he think my Ni family is easier to deal with than those two gangs?"

Ni Yongxiao was genuinely angry. The Ni family had been able to dominate Yau Tsim Mong for over a decade, suppressing traditional triads to the point that they couldn't even raise their heads. James's assessment was an insult to the Ni family.

Hey James, I'll teach you a lesson later.

“Ah-Hsiao, you might not understand something.” Liang-Kun sighed heavily. “Traditional gangs aren’t afraid of you, they’re afraid of trouble.”

"If we were to fight you, it would affect the gang's business, which would be quite troublesome."

"If a fight really breaks out, is it only your Ni family that has guns?"

"How many people are there in your Ni family?"

How many people actually participate in a life-or-death lottery within a normal club or organization?

"Many triads are afraid of trouble, so they tacitly accept the status of your Yau Tsim Mong Ni family."

Ni Yongxiao's pupils suddenly contracted; he hadn't expected Liang Kun to see through him so clearly.

“James isn’t afraid of you anymore; you’re the ones who should be afraid.” Under Wang Dao’s prompting, the wicked Liang Kun decisively gave Ni Yongxiao a piece of advice.

Ni Yongxiao asked in a deep voice, "Just who is this James?"

“Actually, this guy isn’t anything special,” Liang Kun said frankly. “He’s just a foreigner from Chongqing. He used to work in the Telecommunications Department, and I think he was at a pretty high rank. Now he’s just a senior superintendent in the Special Branch of the police station.”
