Deng Wei laughed and said, "Don't play dumb with me. You look down on He Liansheng, or rather, you look down on the gang."

As expected of an old guy who's been in charge of the business for over thirty years, he's still quite shrewd.

That's right, I really look down on these kinds of gang businesses. Times are changing, and fighting and killing are no longer an option. How can one become incredibly wealthy by just collecting protection money?

If you're going to do something, do it legitimately, create a monopoly in legitimate business. That kind of business, which can operate in the open, is the safest and most satisfying.

The underworld is really just a rag that the upper class uses to clean up their mess. They use it and then throw it away with disgust.

Even you, Deng Wei, are the same.

Chen Jialuo said, "How could that be? I was born a member of the triad, and I will die a member of the triad. I am proud to be a member of Wo Luen Shing."

Deng Wei waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, if you don't want to say what's on your mind, that's fine. What I want to tell you is that there's nothing shameful about making money. As long as you make money, no one will care where it comes from."

But he had to admit that Chen Jialuo's words did make him happy. He didn't want to let go of such a prestigious name as Chen Jialuo.

He wanted Chen Jialuo to work for Wo Luen Shing for the rest of his life.

When I came out of Deng Wei's house, the sun was already setting.

The driver kept his eyes fixed on the entrance. As soon as he saw Chen Jialuo come out, he sped up and pulled up in front of him in a flash.

"Boss."

The henchman was panting heavily as he spoke.

Chen Jialu laughed, "Good lad, you have a good eye." He reached out to give a tip, but suddenly realized he had no cash in his wallet, so he tossed the wallet to his henchman.

"Here you go."

Crocodile wallet, a high-end item.

Even such a small one can sell for HK$5 on the market.

The henchman excitedly accepted it, saying, "Thank you, boss."

Chen Jialuo put a cigarette in his mouth, and his henchman quickly lit it, a clean and efficient action.

"Boss, where are we going now?"

"Go to Hung Hom."

"Alright, sit down."

...

After handing over the two gambling halls, the gang of bastards quieted down considerably.

But Chen Jialuo was still very unhappy, even though the money he spent was only a small part of his income from Hung Hom and Longxi.

"Damn it, they dare to make me pay."

Damn it! I curse you all to be impotent and premature ejaculation.

Back in Hung Hom, after a month of reform, the place was in good order, and the merchants who made a living there had all come out of their anxious lives.

The henchmen, all dressed in identical suits, wearing black sunglasses, and carrying axes and knives at their waists, stood in rows.

They lined up to welcome the arrival of their boss.

They grew to respect, and even idolize, Chen Jialuo with increasing fervor.

Before the car even reached its destination, a chorus of voices calling for the Crown Prince could be heard from afar. As soon as Chen Jialuo's feet touched the ground, they all bowed and called him Crown Prince.

The momentum, the scene.

It makes shopkeepers and ordinary citizens passing by tremble with fear, and then they'll say, "Damn, if I could live like that, I'd gladly shorten my lifespan by ten years."

Chapter 164 The Opening of the Video Parlor

The henchmen's fervor stemmed from two main reasons: firstly, Chen Jialuo's growing fame made being his subordinate a source of pride; secondly, following Chen Jialuo meant a life of luxury and comfort.

Just this outfit alone puts him miles ahead of the other henchmen, not to mention the pay he receives.

Isn't the purpose of being a slacker just two things?

First, to make money; second, to show off.

Now that Chen Jialuo has everything, what reason do they have not to worship him, what reason do they have not to be fanatical? None!

Chen Jialuo waved his hand, signaling them to disperse and get back to work.

call out-

The henchmen scattered in the next second, their speed and execution were incredibly fast.

Chen Jialuo arrived at the movie theater, or more accurately, the video arcade, which was under renovation.

Although the videos in the video arcade were all pirated, the quality was genuinely guaranteed. The chairs and other furniture were also high-end. Their main selling point was a luxurious 180cm chair.

Chen Taishan was supervising the construction here when he saw Chen Jialuo and came over eagerly to greet him.

"Boss, do you think this place is okay? Is there anything that needs to be changed?" He adjusted his glasses and asked.

He truly admired Chen Jialuo immensely, and couldn't understand how he came up with so many brilliant ideas.

Chen Jialuo said, "That's great. We can put popcorn and cola outside, add some electronic products, and offer a membership program when we sell tickets."

"I can definitely make a lot of money." His eyes lit up when he talked about making money.

Chen Taishan said, "Understood, understood, we'll do it all as you say, boss."

The arcade business is already quite profitable, making people envious. If these video arcades open again, wow, men, women, young and old will all be online.

It's impossible not to make money.

The video arcade can play the videos repeatedly, damn... so we need to provide a venue.

It's a sure way to make money.

The wiring in the video arcade is the same as that in the video game arcade. This first one is just for testing the waters and seeing how profitable it is.

If the profits are good, he will immediately expand, first covering the entire territory of Wo Luen Shing, and then gradually encroaching on the whole of Hong Kong.

Once it reaches a certain scale, it will monopolize the entire market.

Holy crap! Just thinking about it is awesome.

In this way, you don't have to do anything; you can earn money just by lying down.

Three days later, the video arcade was renovated and various promotional materials were put on display. The movies shown were all the latest, mostly Western, and Chen Jialuo even hired someone to translate and add subtitles.

They had a two-day trial period and were completely booked.

They're making so much money they're practically rolling in it; electronics and movies are naturally attractive.

Tickets were divided into three tiers, and the snacks inside were all more expensive than outside, plus they didn't allow outside snacks. Seriously, they're making a killing!

The video arcade had 13 screening rooms. It showed all sorts of different shows 24 hours a day, including morning screenings, evening screenings, and midnight screenings—terms that were completely unheard of—leaving the henchmen wide-eyed with amazement.

Some of the henchmen couldn't resist and went inside to take a look.

Chen Jialuo kicked him out, sending him sprawling face-first to the ground.

"Even if you want to watch, you have to do it after get off work. There will be employee discounts for you and your families. Don't you dare pull this stunt and take up customer seats. If anyone dares to do that, I'll break your legs. Did you all hear me?"

He didn't want his men to take over the video arcade, leaving few customers.

So when I saw it, I immediately gave them a warning.

The henchman chuckled, rubbing his backside as he stood up, bowing and scraping, "I know, boss. I've never seen anything like this before, so I'm embarrassed."

Chen Jialu snorted and said, "You'll get a fixed salary every month and a share of the profits every year. The higher the profits, the more money you'll get."

"If anyone doesn't want to work here anymore, just say so."

The henchmen's eyes practically popped out of their sockets with excitement when they heard about the fixed salary and bonuses.

Patting his chest and straightening his back, he assured Chen Jialuo that he would work hard, do his job well, achieve high standards, and make a fortune.

Having dealt with the henchmen, Chen Jialuo lingered for a moment before leaving.

The sales figures for the trial operation came out very quickly, and they were very high! Excellent!

Chen Jialuo then sent people to register the company without delay, and opened for business on an auspicious day.

On the opening day, lion dance troupes and Western musical instruments took turns performing.

Many district councilors and government officials also sent flower baskets to express their congratulations.

Then came the people from the Wo Shing triad itself. Lin Huai Le, Yu Tou Biao, Huo Niu, Da D, Long Gen, and other triad leaders came running over with gifts to show their support for him.

Even Daiura Kuro, who disliked him, rushed over with a dark expression.

Lin Huaiyue was the happiest of them all; his eyes were practically gleaming with greed as he looked at Chen Jialuo.

What's going on in this kid's head? He just opened an arcade that's packed the whole city, and now he's opened a video arcade...

He was a natural-born business prodigy, and he pulled Chen Jialuo aside.

"Your Highness, I'm truly impressed! Just how many ways to make money are in your head? Could you give me some pointers so I can also have a taste of success and enjoy the limelight?"

Chapter 165 You're right, but I'm just not going.
