Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

The car swerved left and right, running two red lights before finally screeching to a stop in front of Xinji Restaurant. Da Xi hurriedly ran inside. Some of his underlings were still there, eating breakfast. Seeing their boss return, they quickly finished their char siu buns and ran out.

Da hope wasn't in the mood to scold his underlings. Damn it, I told you guys to investigate, and you bunch of bastards are still eating breakfast here. You're all bastards!

Inside the private room, Xia Qibier and the others were still talking when Da Xi knocked on the door. Before they could say "let me in," he pushed the door open and walked in, panting heavily. "Mr. Liu," he said, "that stubborn bastard from the 14th Society just called me, saying he knows where the missing goods are and wants to meet me at the Six or Seven Ice Room in Tuen Mun to talk!"

"Would someone as stubborn as 14 do that? Did he have someone take the things?"

"He only said that someone else asked him to arrange the meeting," Da hope hurriedly replied. "Mr. Liu, what should I do when I get there?"

Bill leaned to the side, resting his hand on his chair, and looked at Da Xi. "Go talk to him. Just haggle with him for a bit, however much you want. Set the transaction point for 8 PM tonight, right at the dock. I'll bring people over. You don't need to worry about the rest!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

Da hope strode out of the private room again, pointing at the thugs outside and cursing, "You bastards, what are you doing? Hurry up and open your stall, eat, eat, eat shit!"

"Knowing who it is makes things easier," Bill said, tucking the pistol from the table back into its holster. "Watson, finish your meal and come with me to get the equipment. We're going to have a big operation tonight."

After saying that, he turned to Liu Mingqiang and said, "Brother Qiang, could you please have someone find more oil drums? We'll need them tonight!"

Liu Mingqiang put down the lemon coffee, nodded, and said, "I understand. I'll have someone bring a truckload over. Once you've started, we'll drive it in for you."

On Da hope's side, he drove as fast as he could and arrived at the Six or Seven Ice Room in Tuen Mun. Stubborn Bull's henchmen were squatting outside the ice room, staring at Da Xi and White-Haired Man who got out of the car and walked into the ice room with ill intent.

On the second floor of the Six or Seven Ice Room, Stubborn Ox occupied a table by himself. Seeing Da hope and the White-Haired Man come upstairs, he stood up with a big laugh, "Da hope, you're here! Sit down, sit down, what would you like to drink? It's on me!"

"Anything, black tea or coffee," Da Xi pulled up a chair and sat down, pretending to be angry.

"Hey buddy, some red tea and coffee," Jiang Niu laughed, patting Da Xi on the shoulder. "Da hope, calm down. We're all just trying to make a living. Don't get angry."

"Stubborn Brother, you don't need to touch my goods just because you're in this business. Those are all... mine," Da Xi wanted to say that the goods belonged to Liu Mingqiang, but he was afraid of scaring the person who stole them, so he changed his words directly, "Now you've taken my goods and come to talk to me? Talk about what!"

"Stubborn Brother, I won't ask who took it. As long as he returns the goods to me, we can pretend this never happened," Da hope said, starting to pull at Stubborn Niu.

"Da hope, in this line of work, you inevitably have to spend money to avoid trouble. They're not asking for much, just 20 million, and they'll return the goods to you!"

"Aren't you going to rob it?"

Da hope was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table. Twenty million? How dare you, stubborn ox, ask such a question? I don't even dare to listen to you anymore! "One million, not a penny more!"

"Hey! Da Xi, I'm only a few years older than you. Someone asked me to come and negotiate with you. One million is a bit low, five million, please give me some face, okay?" Stubborn Bull smiled, his face full of pimples.

Stubborn Ox initially thought that Ma Li had taken Da Xi's "powder" and was happy that he didn't have to ship it from Siam. However, after asking around, he found out that Ma Li, that scoundrel from South Vietnam, had only taken a cabinet and a suitcase from Da hope. The suitcase couldn't be opened, and the cabinet was full of wires and motherboards.

Since it's not the goods he wanted, and Da Xi is in such a hurry, why not take advantage of him? One million or five million is fine, it's all the same anyway, we'll split it 50/50, and then Jiang Niu and Ma Li will split it 30/70.

You ask who gets 7? Of course it's that stubborn ox who gets 7. Do you think he, the dignified Stubborn Ox, would take 30%?

Da hope sneered, "I'm giving you face, that's why I call you 'Stubborn Brother.' If I didn't give you face, I'd call you 'Silly Ox'!"

I'll give you some face and offer five million, but your stupid face is worth nothing!

"No way, one million, not a penny more!"

"So you're not giving me any face?" The stubborn man's smiling face turned cold. "In that case, you can forget about taking the goods and just leave!"

Da hope remained seated, unmoved. The white-haired man beside him stepped in as a peacemaker, "Stubborn Brother, Brother Xi, listen to me, let's each compromise half a step, two million, what do you say?"

Da hope feigned hesitation, but the stubborn ox suddenly broke into a smile. "Alright, let's each compromise, two million!"

"I need to see the goods first. Where are they?"

"Da hope, the rule in this business is always cash on delivery. How can you tell me where the goods are if I haven't seen the money!"

"Alright, then it'll be eight o'clock tonight, at the dockside cargo area. Cash on delivery," Da hope said, standing up. He finished his black tea in one gulp, then spat on the ground. "This place is awful. I won't be coming back!"

"Okay, see you at the pier at 8 p.m. sharp tonight," Jiang Niu said with a smile as he watched Da Xi walk out of the ice room, before calling out Ma Li, who had been hiding in the kitchen listening to their conversation.

Ma Li went upstairs, sat down, and asked, "Brother Jiang, if we're going to trade on Flying Dragon Gang's territory, will Da Xi try anything funny?"

"Am I afraid he'll resort to underhanded tactics?"

Stubborn Ox smiled smugly. He, a member of the 14th Society, would be afraid of Da Xi, a member of the Flying Dragon Gang. If Da Xi dared to touch him, the members of the 14th Society would never let him off the hook. Even if Da Xi had a hundred more guts, he wouldn't dare to play any tricks or make a move.

The 14th Society members are used to being arrogant in Hong Kong. The Sanhe Society and the New One Society members have to give them some face. However, Stubborn Bull looked at Ma Li with a smile, thinking that he might as well take this kid over tonight. Once he got the money, he could sell the kid and then not have to take 14% of it. Hehe!

"I went to the docks all by myself tonight, and none of the Flying Dragon Gang dared to lay a finger on me," Stubborn Bull said, putting his arm around Ma Li. "You're a good kid. You deserve a lot of credit for making two million this time!"

"You're coming with me tonight, so I can show you how your stubborn brother handles Da Xi, hahaha!"

"Forget it, Stubborn Brother, I'd better not show my face. Otherwise, I'm afraid Da hope will bring trouble on me and my underlings later." Ma Li wasn't stupid. He could just let Stubborn Niu handle everything and he could stay in the background and wait to collect the money. Why should he come out and make Da hope hold a grudge?

"What are you afraid of? He's not going to eat you!"

"Don't worry, from now on you'll stick with me, Brother Jiang. I'll protect your camp gang. In Tuen Mun, just mention my name, Brother Jiang, and nobody will dare to do anything to you!"

"Thank you, Stubborn Brother!"
