Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

“We are a large association with a history of over a hundred years, and we have our own rules.”

"Being a leader is something only those without the ability should think about."

"It would be better to just focus on running your own business properly."

“Our Dapu still has a lot to offer.”

That's what Uncle Tong said.

Dongguan boy almost couldn't hold back and got punched in the face by Uncle Tong.

He knew that his dream of becoming the leader was over.

In the world of martial arts, who doesn't seize every opportunity to expand their influence and grow their power?
Some people even borrow money to expand their own influence.

The logic is simple: the larger the territory, the more protection money you can collect, the more henchmen you can keep, and then you can conquer even more territory and recruit more henchmen.

so cycle.

Once you become the leader of a gang, you can use the righteous cause to legitimately expand your territory.

To put it bluntly, making money is the most important thing.

This is how most clubs operate.

The Lian Sheng club is completely different from others; they don't play the club game like you do. They maintain a balance.

If it's just about making money, this kind of fun is fine too.

But when you're out in the world, besides money, you also care about face.

That's just how guys from Dongguan are.

How prestigious it is to be the leader of a gang when you're fighting with your friends.

No, once you become the person in charge, your friends won't need you to be on the front lines anymore.

Dongguan guy really wants to be the boss.

He had previously thought that what Big D told him was just to disturb him and was made up.

Now I finally understand. It turns out that Big D wasn't lying to him at all; he was the one who was truly clear-headed.

Dongguanzi left Uncle Tong's place in a daze, even refusing Uncle Tong's offer to treat him well. Now he just felt upset and confused.

Does he have to live his life without the title of leader, just like his predecessors?

No!

We still need to find out more from Big D.

The guy from Dongguan brought some gifts this time.

Big D was very happy to see the Dongguan boy:
"Dongguan boy, did you take the things to Uncle Tong? Was he satisfied?"

The Dongguan boy sighed:
"He was very satisfied, but I was very dissatisfied."

"Big D, is there really no way for us to be the leaders of the gang?"

Big D was amused:

"What, you asked Uncle Tong about it?"

"What did Uncle Tong say?"

Dongguan guy curled his lip:

"What else can I say?"

"Uncle Tong said you can't be the head of Heliansheng, and the uncles won't agree."

“You’re worth more than half the gang by yourself. If you were to become the leader, there might not be another election.”

Big D pursed his lips:
"Why should I become the person in charge? Isn't it so I can expand my own power by becoming the person in charge?"

"If there's no benefit to me in being in charge, why should I do it?"

"right?"

Dongguan boy nodded:

"That's what Uncle Tong said too, which is why you can't take the position of the person in charge."

"I can't get a seat either!"

At this point, Dongguan guy was extremely depressed.

Big D smiled and said:
"Actually, I was also frustrated at first."

"Why is it that I, with the most power, the most territory, and the most money, am not elected as the leader, and instead have to listen to the nonsense of you bastards who are inferior to me?"

"Later, after chatting with Binni, I felt a wave of relief."

"Thank goodness those bastards didn't choose me!"

"Otherwise, I'll really be in trouble."

Dongguan boy stared at Big D in astonishment:

"Was that just said in anger?"

Big D shook his head:
"This isn't something I said out of anger; it's what I truly believe."

Dongguan guy frowned as he looked at Big D:

"Are you doing this willingly?"

Big D nodded:
“At first I didn’t understand it at all. It wasn’t until I had the opportunity to talk with Chiang Sang-chang of Hung Hing that I realized that it was actually a good thing for me that the uncles of Wo Luen Shing didn’t let me be the head of the company.”

The Dongguan boy's heart skipped a beat:
"You want to switch sides to Hung Hing?"

Big D shook his head:
Why would I switch sides to Hung Hing?

"Hung Hing won't want me."

Dongguan guy curled his lip:

"Hung Hing has excellent taste!"

Big D shook his finger:

"No, Hung Hing is undergoing a transformation."

The Dongguan boy was taken aback:
"Transformation?"

Big D low channel:
"Logically speaking, with Brother Tao, Brother Kun, and Brother Binni Chung backing Hung Hing, even if they were to dominate Hong Kong, it wouldn't be too much of a problem, right?"

The Dongguan guy had no choice but to agree:

You're right!

Big D smiled and asked:

"But why didn't they do that?"

The Dongguan boy murmured:

"Yes, why not do it that way?"

Big D let out a long sigh:

"There won't be many more years for the club to thrive."

The Dongguan boy was terrified:
"What did you say?"

Big D explained:
"Hong Kong is not the Hong Kong of Chongqing, but the Hong Kong of my hometown."

"At most twenty years, Hong Kong will be returned to China."

Do you think we can still be as free as before?

"Your hometown doesn't care what kind of organization or background you belong to."

"They don't allow clubs to exist."

"If we dominate Hong Kong now, what will happen when the time comes for the handover?"

The Dongguan boy fell silent for a moment, then forced himself to say:

"We're all in this gang, we live for today, we don't know what tomorrow will bring."

"Maybe I'm gone!"

Big D glanced at him:
"Do you really think so?"

The man from Dongguan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Big D said calmly:
"If that's really what you think, then I won't waste my breath on you. We're on different paths, so we can't work together."

"Our roads used to be blocked."

"No matter which way you go, you can't escape that vicious cycle."

"But Dao Ge Kun Ge Binni has set a good example for us."

"Chiang Sheng, along with Hung Hing, set a great example for us."

"We need to change our mindset and become rich!"

"How much money can you make by constantly fighting and killing in the martial arts world?"

Big D looked at the Dongguan boy:
"You've been out in the game for so long, have you ever made as much money as you did this afternoon?"

"Or rather, does the entire asset portfolio of your Dapu branch equal what you've earned today?"

The Dongguan guy shook his head.

Big D's words were harsh, but they were the truth.

All the businesses of the Helian Shengda Putang Group combined did not amount to ten million Hong Kong dollars.

None of them earned as much as he did in a single morning.

What did the Dongguan boy do?
He simply introduced 20,000 blue lanterns to Liang Kun.

"Times have changed, Dongguan boy."

"The old methods of fighting and killing don't work anymore; they're outdated."

"Lei Luo and the others have all switched jobs."

"Crippled Ho has been imprisoned for almost ten years!"

"We who are in this business also need to keep up with the times!"

"In short, everything has to be profitable."

"We still need to make money legally and legitimately!"

“Even if this money is deposited in a bank, the police station cannot freeze it at will.”

"This is exactly what we should be researching!"

The Dongguan guy was immediately tempted:
"you're right."

Big D chuckled:

"This opportunity is here now, it's just a matter of whether you take it or not!"

The Dongguan boy asked:
"Should we introduce Blue Lantern to Brother Kun?"

Big D corrected:
"It's not about introducing Blue Lantern, it's about helping Brother Kun recruit workers."

The Dongguan boy said in astonishment:

"Recruiting workers?"

"I thought Brother Kun wanted to recreate Hung Hing."

Big D laughed and said:
"Kun Ge doesn't even want to be the head of Hung Hing anymore, why would he start a new triad?"

"There's a severe shortage of staff at the Sham Shui Po pier."

“I heard that Wharf Holdings has a new project to build.”

"There is a shortage of people everywhere."

The Dongguan guy clicked his tongue in amazement:

"Twenty thousand people aren't enough?"

Big D shrugs:

"Anyway, even if I send 10,000 people over, it's still not enough."

“Besides the Sham Shui Po pier project, Hung Hing’s company is also in dire need of manpower.”

The people from Dongguan were completely dumbfounded:
"Does Hung Hing have about 50,000 members?"

Big D corrected again:

"Not fifty thousand, but eighty thousand!"

"Unfortunately, it's still not enough."

"Brother Dao's group is too big; these few people aren't even enough to fill a tooth gap."

The Dongguan boy's spirits lifted:
"Still 500 Hong Kong dollars per person?"

Big D nodded slightly:

"Correct!"

The Dongguan boy clapped his hands vigorously:
"I did it!"

Big D smiled and said:
"If you agree, we can set up a labor export company."

The Dongguan boy asked, puzzled:

What does this company do?

Big D shrugs:

"It's just dispatching temporary workers."

"We'll send them wherever there's a shortage of temporary workers."

"Daily settlement."

"Of course, we get a cut."

The Dongguan guy disagreed:
"How much can you smoke?"

Big D was amused:

"A worker's daily wage is one hundred, and we each take ten."

"A thousand people can win ten thousand yuan."

"That's 300,000 Hong Kong dollars a month."

"You really can't smoke that much!"

The Dongguan boy was terrified:
"How many?"

Big D shrugs:

"If a thousand people take ten dollars a day, we'll have three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars a month!" the Dongguan guy said through gritted teeth.

"Done!"

It would be difficult for others to gather so many people.

But is it difficult for clubs?
There are several thousand blue lanterns waiting to dry horses every day.

If this number were multiplied by ten... I can't even imagine it!

Big D smiled and said:
“Our labor export work is actually quite secure.”

He counted on his fingers,

"To do this job, you need to be able to gather people together and maintain stable relationships."

At this point, he gave a wicked smile.
"We're a triad, you know. Maintaining stable connections with factories within our territory and controlling their temporary workers is just a matter of a word, isn't it?"

"For us, having a car to pick us up and drop us off for this kind of work is not difficult."

The Dongguan boy frowned and said:

"You need a car to pick you up and drop you off?"

Big D disagreed:

"It's not like I'm asking you to use a fancy car, just some minivan."

"Isn't this how it should be?"

"It's alright with the men, but what if there are female workers? How can you not arrange for them to be picked up and dropped off?"

The more the Dongguan boy listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he sincerely replied:
"Big D, I never knew you had such business acumen."

Big D chuckled:

"That's right!"

"If you want to do it, then let's go together."

“I have influence in Hung Hing, so the dispatch of temporary workers is not limited to Tai Po or Tsuen Wan.”

"Sai Wan, Kowloon, Wan Chai, Heung Kong Chai, Yuen Long..."

"We can continue doing it."

"how do you feel?"

Dongguan boy has been completely impressed by Big D's business acumen:

"Of course, I'll do whatever you say."

Big D nodded in satisfaction.

The Dongguan boy asked:
"Should we continue to send manpower to Brother Kun?"

Big D thought for a moment and said:

"I'll ask around later. We've sent 30,000 people in total, that should be enough, right?"

"I wonder if Brother Dao needs any more people."

The Dongguan guy said:
“If Brother Kun doesn’t need any more people, we don’t need to rush. We can stay and work as temporary workers.”

Big D casually remarked:
"I'll give you a thousand for each person you refer, won't you do it?"

The Dongguan boy was startled and said incredulously:
"Didn't you say you'd give five hundred for introducing someone?"

"How did it become a thousand again?"

Big D shrugs:

"I take a cut!"

The Dongguan guy stood there for a while, then finally gave a thumbs up and said:
"You make money so fast!"

Big D was very surprised:

"I thought you were going to turn against me."

A Dongguan native speaks the truth:
"To be honest, I have a slight urge to turn against them."

"However, after thinking it over, I realized that without you, I wouldn't even be able to earn these five hundred Hong Kong dollars."

"That's because you're close to Brother Kun!"

Big D chuckled:

“We won’t calculate it like that after we go into partnership.”

"Fine, I'll take 30% of your money."

The Dongguan boy said sincerely:

"Thank you very much!"

Big D clapped his hands and said:
"Dongguan boy, times have changed, and we must change with them."

"Only by adapting to the times can you make money easily."

"Going against the times will not only prevent you from making money, but it can also cost you your life!"

The Dongguan boy said earnestly:

"Been taught a lesson!"

After seeing Dongguan boy off, Big D felt great.

When Sister-in-law D returned home from get off work, she keenly sensed something was amiss:
"I feel very good today?"

Big D quickly took credit:

"Today I made ten million Hong Kong dollars using the theories you taught me!"

"Am I powerful?"

Big D recounted the events of the day in great detail, much to his wife's surprise:
"You're really good at applying what you've learned!"

Big D was a little worried:

"Dongguan Boy and I delivered 30,000 blue lanterns to Brother Kun in one go. Will the old fogies at Liansheng cause trouble?"

Big D's wife smiled and said:

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Big D asked, puzzled:
"I'm going to undermine their foundation, how can they tolerate me?"

Sister-in-law D nodded slightly:
"Will do!"

Big D really can't understand it.

Big D's wife said calmly:

"The uncles of Heliansheng are undoubtedly old foxes."

“Since they are old foxes, they will have all sorts of concerns.”

"They won't make any other moves unless they're absolutely certain of defeating you in one blow."

"Does Heliansheng have anyone who can beat you?"

"no!"

Big D snorted coldly:
"If anyone in Liansheng can surpass me, I will become the next leader."

Big D's wife laughed:
“Yes!”

"The old fox thinks too much; he always wants to have everything under his control."

"Little did they know that those who could control the overall situation either possessed extraordinary personal charisma or absolute strength."

What do your uncles have?

"It's nothing but scheming."

"You think you can compete with us with this?"

"That definitely won't work, right?"

Big D nodded vigorously—his wife was absolutely right.

"Is my labor export plan really feasible?"

Big D's wife shrugged:

"At least for the next ten years, there shouldn't be any problems."

Big D said wistfully:

"Only ten years?"

Sister-in-law D sighed:
"Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and people don't stay good for a thousand days."

"Many jobs have already disappeared. You can earn money steadily for ten years, what else do you want to do?"

Big D asked instinctively:

"What job?"

Big D's wife shrugged:

"The pager announcer!"

Big D was speechless.

Pagers have disappeared from the Hong Kong market, so the hotline operators must be long gone.

Big D's wife said earnestly:

"None of us can see the future. The only way is to follow those who have foresight."

"Only in this way can we make money safely and steadily."

"We are very fortunate to have such connections."

Big D understood immediately:

"Don't worry, honey, I understand. We'll follow Brother Dao's lead from now on."

Sister-in-law D nodded with satisfaction:

"Honey, times have changed."

"The old tricks from when I was a gangster don't work anymore."

“People like Kun, Dao, and Binni all transitioned to other fields early on.”

“Even Hung Hing is transforming.”

"I even suspect that Brother Dao was thinking about a career change after he took over."

Big D said blankly:
"When did Brother Dao rise to power?"

Big D's wife said calmly:

"Brother Dao's rise to power took much shorter than yours."

Big D sighed deeply:

"Times have indeed changed."

"Dao Ge only joined the club this year, and in just two months he has completed a journey that most club members cannot complete in a lifetime."

"He became Hong Kong's richest man in just a few months... His experience is truly legendary."

"By the way, honey, I heard that all other banks in Hong Kong are regulated by the United States, but HSBC is the only one that isn't."

Is there something wrong with this?

Big D's wife laughed and said:

"has a problem?"

"There is no problem."

Big D looked at his wife suspiciously:

"Honey, can you please explain this to me properly?"

Sister-in-law D whispered:

"I heard that this was all Dao Ge's scheme."

Big D's eyes widened:
"what?"

Sister-in-law D added:
"Of course, I heard it from someone else."

"But everyone says this is Brother Dao's plan."

"Through clever means, Brother Dao implicated other banks in Hong Kong, but HSBC was spared because of the recent turmoil."

Big D was skeptical:

"real or fake?"

"I know Brother Dao is capable, but even if he is capable, he can't possibly command the Ugly Country, can he?"

Big D's wife smiled and said:

"Have you forgotten the three billion US dollars that the U.S. government lent to Brother Dao through Citibank and Citibank? And it was interest-free!"

"What's the difference between this and giving money away for free?"

“Even if you don’t invest this money, just keeping it in the bank would be an astronomical figure every year.”

Big D was dumbfounded:
"Wow, Brother Dao is that amazing!"

"Times have truly changed."

"No way, I really have to stick close to Brother Dao from now on."

Big D's wife chuckled:
"You actually believed it?"

Big D asked:

"Could this be fake?"

Sister-in-law D sighed softly:
"I really hope it's true, so we don't have to think it over and can just place our bets on Brother Dao."

"However, the reality is that it was all a series of coincidences."

"Brother Dao is not capable of getting the Ugly Country to endorse him."

"The events that happened in various banks in Hong Kong were all due to coincidences."

But Big D said:

"Then we should bet on Brother Dao even more."

Big D's wife was extremely puzzled.

Big D said seriously:
"This proves that Brother Dao possesses a destiny!" (End of Chapter)
