Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

"Have you heard? Apart from HSBC, it's not easy to deposit or withdraw money at other banks."

The Dongguan guy said mysteriously to Big D.

Big D rolled his eyes:
"I really don't know about this. I want to work with Binney, and most of my money is in HSBC."

The Dongguan guy was speechless:

"You are the most powerful hall master in Heliansheng, yet instead of thinking about developing and strengthening Heliansheng, you want to seek refuge with outsiders!"

Big D sneered:
"outsider?"

"Have Uncle Deng come over and ask him if Binny is an outsider. See if he dares to say anything then."

“Dongguan boy, it’s true that you’re a rising star in the triads, but you don’t know what our company, Lian Sheng, was all about.”

The Dongguan boy frowned and said:

"Combined map?"

Big D nodded:
"Yes, the Hehe Tu (a diagram of harmony and unity)."

He sighed with some regret.
"Looking back now, it was only about six months ago."

“After Binny left, Hetu was completely split up, which led to the formation of us and Liansheng.”

The Dongguan guy chuckled:
"Those things are in the past, people should look forward."

"Big D, you are the most powerful branch leader in our Lian Sheng organization. It's such a waste that you don't want to be the one in charge."

"You are now recognized by Liansheng as the candidate to take over the leadership."

Big D looked him up and down, then suddenly said:

"Deng Bo sent you to lobby?"

The Dongguan guy was baffled:
"What, Uncle Deng sent me?"

Big D relaxes:

"It's good that you weren't sent by those old foxes."

The Dongguan boy felt a pang of anxiety:
"Big D, there seems to be a hidden meaning in what you said."

Big D bluntly stated:
"I think I understand what you're thinking."

"You're just like me when I was young."

"Just as domineering and tyrannical, just as forceful and uncompromising."

"Your men are all willing to fight alongside you, and your power has expanded tremendously."

The Dongguan guy chuckled:
"Isn't this because we have role models to follow?"

Big D gives a thumbs up:
"It can talk."

The Dongguan boy said seriously:

"I hope that you, Big D, can run for election next time. After you serve two terms, I will run for election to become the leader."

"This is also a beautiful story of inheritance."

Big D muttered:
"Everyone says I'm brainless and simple-minded, and I think you're the same."

The Dongguan guy couldn't decide whether to curse or not.

"Isn't that a bit off?"

Big D sighed:

"I appreciate your kindness."

"However, those old foxes in the gang won't let me get elected."

The Dongguan boy was taken aback:
"impossible?"

Big D bluntly stated:
"Everyone says you're still young."

“Binney was recognized as the most powerful candidate to take over the leadership of Hetu ten years ago.”

"As a result, we were runners-up for a full ten years."

"Compared to him, the elected leaders are all ugly and worthless."

"Ten years later, Binny finally realized that he was just a weapon used by Hetu's uncles to bridge the gap between other factions."

"In a fit of anger, Binney switched sides to Hung Hing, and from then on, he had a bright future."

"Now they fly to Canada every week to oversee the construction of a major port."

"They're genuinely rich!"

The Dongguan boy asked, puzzled:

"What does this have to do with us?"

Big D was amused:

"My power is certainly not comparable to Binney's, but if we make an analogy, I am equivalent to Binney of Liansheng."

"Do you think any of the other hall masters are more powerful than me?"

A Dongguan native speaks the truth:
"no!"

Big D nodded:
"So I don't have a say in this matter!"

The Dongguan guy was dumbfounded:

"what?"

Big D said wistfully:

“In other organizations, only the most capable person can rise to the top, but in our organization, the second strongest person can rise to the top.”

"I'll give you a piece of advice."

"If you want to rise to the top and become the person in charge, then don't get close to me."

"In that case, if I hadn't switched sides by then, you might have gotten a chance to rise in rank because of your bad relationship with me."

The Dongguan boy frowned and said:

"Are you serious?"

Big D shook his head:
"no!"

The Dongguan guy is furious:

"If you can't take over, then when your generation becomes uncles, if I want to take over, won't that also be impossible?"

Big D nodded:
"Yes."

“The person who will be elected in our election will either be the second strongest or the weakest.”

"The strongest are always the ones who have no chance."

"Hey, I'm the strongest of this generation, but you're the strongest of the younger generation."

"There is absolutely no chance for the two of us."

The Dongguan boy clenched his fist involuntarily:
"I do not believe!"

Big D claps his hands:
"Since you've come to pay your respects, I'll tell you everything clearly. Whether you listen or not is up to you."

The Dongguan guy gritted his teeth and said:

"Big D, I'll find someone to ask him about it."

Big D shrugs:

"Anyway, I've said all I need to say."

Dongguan Boy had long forgotten about coming to see Big D. He thanked him and turned to leave.

Big D shrugs:

"Another one who doesn't believe in superstition."

Long hair makes him smile:

"They are all figures of the underworld, and the desire to be the leader is ingrained in their bones."

"Unfortunately, reality will make him think it through."

Big D asked curiously:
"You want to be the one in charge too?"

The long-haired man shook his head:
"I'll just stay by the side of the big shot."

"Anyway, the big boss won't treat me unfairly."

Big D laughed heartily:

"What Brother Kun said is truly a wise saying."

"The point of being out in the world is to make money, right?"

"Let's just focus on making money honestly."

"As for who's in charge, let whoever wants to be in charge do it."

The long-haired man said with a grin:

"The boss is right."

Big D asked:

How many people have been sent there during this period?

The long-haired man, beaming with joy, said:

"Ten thousand."

"Brother Kun gave each person a referral fee of one thousand."

Big D clapped his hands loudly:

"That's ten million Hong Kong dollars!"

"Isn't this better than doing anything else?"

The long-haired man reminded him:
"However, Brother Kun said that these people must work for a full three years."

Big D sneered:
Did you explain the rules when you took them there?

Long hair nodded:
"said!"

Big D shrugs:

"That's good."

"We're all in this together, we know the basic rules."

"Besides, it's not like we're sending them to jail; it's sending them to work for Brother Kun."

"You get paid, and you have someone to protect you."

"If you want to leave like this, don't blame us for being ruthless."

The long-haired man laughed:

"I guess they'll think it over."

Big D snorted coldly:
"They had better think this through."

Big D asked again:
"Did Brother Kun say whether he still needs anyone?"

The long-haired man nodded repeatedly:

"want!"

"but……"

"Our branch doesn't have enough blue lanterns anymore."

"Actually, if it weren't for the fact that you treat the brothers well, many of them would be begging for food from Brother Kun."

Big D was shocked to hear this.
"Let's compile a list. After all, they've been with me for many years. Let's part ways amicably. I'll personally escort them to Brother Kun's place."

The long-haired man said in astonishment:
"Boss, are you really going to give this away?"

Big D asked:

"You get a thousand yuan commission for each worker you refer."

"Don't you want it?"

Long hair quickly said:
"want!"

Of those 10,000 people, 1,000 were his people, which means he earned a million Hong Kong dollars just from referral fees.

Only a fool wouldn't want that!

"However, this way, we'll have just enough men under our command."

Big D shrugs:

That's why I contacted Dongguan Boy and the others.

The long-haired man gave a thumbs-up and said:

"Wow, this guy is amazing!"

Big D chuckled:

"You don't need to flatter me."

"Anyway, we should just keep quiet and make a fortune in this kind of thing."

"Besides, I'm introducing blue lanterns, not red lanterns. This kind of business is really easy to do."

The long-haired man frowned and said:
"We didn't have a chance to tell Dongguanzi about this just now."

Big D disagreed:

"Don't worry, Dongguan boy will understand. Once he finds out what dirty things Uncle Deng and the others have done, he'll come back to me."

The long-haired man exclaimed in astonishment:
"Will anyone actually answer his question?"

"Won't Uncle Deng and the others explain this to him?"

Big D smiled:
"Have you forgotten Uncle Dingtong from Dongguan?"

The long-haired man asked, puzzled:
"Isn't Uncle Tong in our hometown?"

Big D said speechlessly:
"It only takes two hours to get from Hong Kong to Bao'an County. Besides, we also have something called a telephone."

He murmured,

"I'm already stupid enough, but my subordinates are even more stupid than me. It's too difficult to stay in the gang."

The long-haired woman's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

what?
Am I stupid?
This is so insulting!
No way, I'll tell my sister-in-law on you right away, and see if you'll still be so arrogant then!

Just as he thought this, he saw Dongguan guy return with a dark expression. Big D wondered:
"Dongguan boy, what else do you want?"

The Dongguan boy sighed:
"I forgot about Lao Ding's request."

"I heard you have a miracle drug?"

Big D nodded:
Yes, there is a blue one!

The Dongguan guy said with a dark face:

"Give me a hundred!"

Big D bluntly stated:
"Let me tell you, it's only because it's you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even look at them."

"Hey, one grain costs two thousand Hong Kong dollars."

"A sincere offer of HK$200,000."

Dongguan guy: "...Why don't you just rob someone?"

Big D was very pleased:

"This deal is much faster than robbery."

“When my uncles came to buy from me, I gave them a price of three thousand Hong Kong dollars per grain.”

"And yet, it's a limited edition!"

Dongguan guy sneered:

"You're just bragging."

Big D mocked:
"boast?"

"Longgen, Dengbo, and Chuanbao—who among them hasn't bought from me?"

The Dongguan boy's mouth was wide open:
"what?"

"Your uncles all bought from you?"

Big D was even more smug:

"You bought this for Uncle Tong, right?"

"Then how do you think Uncle Tong knew I had the goods?"

"You're still young, you don't need this thing."

"But this thing is absolutely a lifesaver for the elderly!"

The Dongguan boy was skeptical:
Is it really that amazing?

Big D gave him an extra one:
"Well then, let's find a girl tonight and give it a try."

The Dongguan guy reluctantly paid HK$200,000, speaking through gritted teeth:

"I'll definitely give it a try!"

Just as he was about to leave, Big D grabbed him:
"Don't rush off! There's a good deal for you, are you interested?"

The Dongguan guy frowned slightly:
"Any good deals?"

"We won't do anything too shady; Brother Zhong is keeping a close eye on us."

"Also, I offended a foreigner before, and he's keeping a close eye on me."

Big D chuckled:

"Great news, fantastic news."

The Dongguan boy looked at him suspiciously:
"Is this really a good thing?"

Big D asked:

"You're a leader among the younger generation, and you've recruited quite a few new members for the club, haven't you?"

The Dongguan boy nodded repeatedly:
"of course."

Big D asked:

Are there many blue lanterns?

The Dongguan boy was very proud:
"Ten or twenty thousand is possible."

Big D exclaimed excitedly:
"Truly worthy of being the leader of our new generation at Liansheng!"

"That's what makes them bold."

"Hey, don't say I don't think of you when I have good things to do."

"Kun's place urgently needs workers."

"Don't you have a lot of blue lanterns where you are?"

"How about we give some to Brother Kun?"

The Dongguan guy could hardly believe his ears:

"Big D, you're betraying your own people!"

Big D was annoyed:

"Brother Kun needs workers, workers!"

"It's not about sending them to the underworld, nor is it about sending them to join Hung Hing."

"They're just a bunch of blue lanterns."

“They’re not even officially part of the 49, so they’re not considered part of our or Liansheng at all.”

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you five hundred Hong Kong dollars to introduce someone."

The Dongguan boy was taken aback:
"five hundred?"

"Really?"

Big D said seriously:
"Wouldn't it ruin my reputation if I lied to you?"

"Go ask around in the martial arts world, my face is worth as much as money."

"Just give it to me, in short, are you going to give it to me or not?"

Dongguan Boy was immediately tempted. Raising underlings costs money, and he had only risen to his position by working for the gang; he lacked any real background.

The younger brothers also had a tough time.

"Really, they'll pay on the spot?"

Big D asked:

Just tell me how many there are.

The Dongguan guy chuckled:
"Twenty thousand!"

Big D cursed out loud!
"You're really something!"

"I want them all!"

The Dongguan guy could hardly believe his ears:

"You're not lying to me, are you?!"

Big D instructed the long-haired man:

"Bring me your suitcase."

A moment later, the long-haired girl brought over a heavy suitcase.

Big D pursed his lips:
"Here, ten million Hong Kong dollars, it's all here. Let's count it slowly."

The Dongguan guy was completely stunned. After a long while, he raised his head and said to Big D:

"People say that He Lian Sheng is a big D, and one person is equal to half of He Lian Sheng."

"I didn't believe it before, but now I do!"

Big D patted him on the shoulder:

"Stop arguing, hurry up and count. Once you're done, tell them to report to Brother Kun's construction site."

"However, let me make this clear first, we need to make things clear."

"I must work for Brother Kun for a full three years."

"Otherwise, you should get a refund."

The Dongguan guy patted his chest and guaranteed:
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Big D nodded slowly:

"You just understand."

"Now, let's count the money."

Dongguan boy immediately started counting the money. It was ten million Hong Kong dollars; he would feel bad if he lost even two stacks of it.

At this time, no one's credibility is of any use.

The more the Dongguan guy counted, the more excited he became.

With just ten million Hong Kong dollars, they could make up for their shortcomings.

The future will be even better!

It took Dongguan boy more than an hour to finish counting.

Carrying the suitcase, he said:
"Big D, I'm taking it."

Big D wasn't worried at all, he just said:

“We’re working for Brother Kun, so if you’ve agreed, you have to do it well.”

"You know the consequences once Brother Kun gets angry."

The Dongguan boy answered seriously:

"I wouldn't dare mess with Brother Kun, no matter who I'm messing with."

He's no longer a gangster; he's a rich man.

He's still a very wealthy person who can handle the Sham Shui Po expansion project.

Unless a Dongguan guy is insane, he would never provoke such a formidable enemy!
Big D was very satisfied with the attitude of the Dongguan guy:

"Alright, with so much money on your hands, be careful on the road."

The Dongguan guy chuckled:
"I'll deposit it in HSBC first."

Big D gives a thumbs up:
"Recently, banks in Hong Kong have been subject to regulation, but HSBC, with its strong background, has not been sanctioned."

"You made a wise choice by putting it there."

The Dongguan boy went there excitedly.

No sooner had he left than Big D said to the long-haired man:
"Get rich!"

"I've struck it rich!"

The long-haired man sighed:

"Congratulations, sir, on making another ten million Hong Kong dollars!"

Big D sighed at the long hair:
"Fighting and killing are unsafe and don't bring in money quickly."

"Where else can you make money so quickly?"

"Following Brother Kun and Brother Dao will ensure you get to eat meat."

"It was indeed the right thing to do to listen to Jiang Sheng."

The long-haired man reminded him:
"Boss, if the uncles of Heliansheng find out what you've done, they might target you."

Big D sneered:
"You think I'm afraid of him?"

“I threw all the blue lanterns from Heliansheng to Kun Ge’s place.”

"I have the most underlings at Liansheng."

"I have money and can give my younger brother the best treatment."

So what if a fight breaks out?

"You think I'm afraid of them?!"

The long-haired guy just wants to remind everyone, if it really comes down to a fight, who's afraid of who?

If it's not about long hair, then what gives them the confidence to fight against the heavily armed Tsuen Wan, with their shabby and misfit-like members?
It would be even more interesting if they brought in outside help.

They could also borrow troops from Hung Hing!
Let's see who can beat whom.

After Dongguan Boy deposited the money into HSBC, he called his henchmen to compile a list of all the blue lanterns that were attached to him and send them to Liang Kun's construction site. Only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief.

Starting today, these ten million Hong Kong dollars are mine.

Dongguan boy was overjoyed, completely unaware that his actions had allowed Big D to earn ten million Hong Kong dollars for nothing.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Big D has connections with Handsome Kun; that's his skill.

People like Dongguan guys only think the other person is capable, they don't feel jealous.

Dongguan Boy recalled what Big D had told him and felt a little worried. Originally, he only needed to send one of his underlings to Bao'an County to deliver medicine to Uncle Tong, but now he decided to go himself.

Uncle Tong was very satisfied after receiving the medicine:
"Dongguan boy, it's rare to find someone who can do things with such sincerity."

"Uncle Tong promises you that as long as you do well, he will let you enter the Council of Elders as an uncle as soon as possible."

The young man from Dongguan took the opportunity to ask:
"Master Ding, is Big D qualified to be the one in charge?"

Uncle Tong shook his head:
"What's so great about being the person in charge?"

"Our leader and the person in charge of Liansheng are just personal seals, neither good-looking nor useful."

"Anyone who wants to be the head of the household is a fool."

"Big D is certainly capable of being the head of the household, but the uncles won't choose him."

Dongguan boy's heart sank:
"Isn't Big D the most powerful gang leader?"

Uncle Tong's words are insightful:
That's true.

"But if Big D becomes the person in charge, wouldn't Heliansheng be completely dominated by him?"

How is the authority of the uncles manifested?

"If he gets into power, there might not be another election."

"The uncles have a consensus."

"When choosing a leader, weaknesses don't matter, but the strongest should absolutely not be chosen!" (End of Chapter)
