Hong Kong film: As a boss, I use money to make decisions.

The following day at noon, in a mahjong parlor on Lin Fat Street in Wan Chai, Chuen Po found the current head of Wo Luen Shing, Chui Chi.

By this time, Chuiji had lost three times in a row. When someone came looking for him, he took the opportunity to discard his terrible hand.

"Damn it! I'm not fighting anymore."

"Hao-zai, come upstairs for tea!"

He stepped aside, and accompanied by Chuiji and Chuanbao, they went upstairs.

The two had barely settled down in the tea room when Chuanbao got straight to the point.

"Hey, how's the thing I told you about on the phone last night going?"

After taking the teapot from the waiter at the mahjong parlor and gesturing for him to leave, Chuiji got up and poured tea for Chuanbao.

"Brother Tian, ​​please don't make things difficult for me."

I don't care who you like to promote, but promoting a kid who's only been in the gang for less than six months to be the leader—how am I supposed to explain this to the other older members?

Chuanbao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed upon hearing this.

"Damn it, do I need to give anyone an explanation when I want to promote someone in my gang?"

"Hey! You don't need to greet anyone, but I'm the one in charge, I can't not give you an explanation!"

Chuiji pushed the poured tea in front of Chuanbao and poured himself another cup.

He immediately sat down and opened his mouth.

"Everyone knows that I can be the person in charge because Brother Wei took pity on me and saw that I was getting old. He gave me a turn to be the head of the council, and I will have a seat in the Senate in the future."

In your eyes, appointing a hall master is nothing more than changing a name in the Book of the Dead, but I'm different!

As Chuiji spoke, his face fell, and his tone was almost pleading as he spoke to Chuanbao.

"When the brothers from other branches saw this, they thought it was so easy to become a branch leader."

If one branch of a religious organization asks me to become a "red pole" (a symbol of official rank) today, and another branch asks me for a white paper fan tomorrow, should I agree or not?

If we agree, things will fall apart, and everyone will want a title to take over their younger brothers!

If I don't agree, people will say I'm a bully who picks on the weak and doesn't give him face! What do you want me to do?

Chuanbao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said solemnly.

"My younger brother is different from others. He only deals worth hundreds of millions or tens of millions. How many of the younger brothers in the Wo Shing family can compare to him?"

"Wow! This is a business worth hundreds of millions or even millions. Let's get the money first!"

Everyone knows you've taken on a lot of projects, but whether you can actually finish them is another matter.

You think he's a big shot? If construction projects were that easy to contract these days, I wouldn't be stuck in Wan Chai running these lousy strip clubs!

"Boo chicken, a house cannot be without a master for a day. According to you, this Kwun Tong shrine should just be left there to fend for itself and let it rot away."

"Or would you rather bring someone from another branch and take over all my territory?"

Chick realized he was unhappy with the skewers and quickly changed his tune.

"Brother Tian, ​​why don't you understand what I mean?"

Okay, let me make this clear to you. Actually, I don't have any objections, but you're the second-in-command among the older generation, so you should know better than I do.

"Let your younger brother handle those uncles and elders. As long as they don't have any objections, why would I hold a grudge against you?"

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Hearing Chuiji's explanation, Chuanbao's expression finally improved.

Since its founding, Wo Luen Shing has had the rule of holding council meetings.

It's called a Senate meeting, but in reality, it's just these old guys giving themselves a legitimate opportunity to make extra money.

As a veteran member, Chuanbao has benefited greatly from taking money to do things over the years, so he naturally has to stick to this scheme.

However, Chuiji changed the subject and continued.

"Since you've come all this way in person, Brother Tian, ​​I might as well say a few more words to you."

If you want to promote Lin Xiaoru to the top, you can probably just spend some money to get others to do it, but the old ghost in green is the only one you have a grudge against.

Of the ten uncles, he was probably the most difficult to deal with.

"You'd better put in more effort, little one, so you don't cause any trouble later!"

Upon hearing Chuiji mention Old Ghost's name, Chuanbao let out a cold snort.

"That's none of your business. Everyone else agrees. One less of him won't make a difference, and one more won't make a difference either!"

"You can't say that, or I'll be in an awkward position later."

Chuanbao only let out a faint laugh.

"After it's all done, my younger brother will give you a red envelope containing 88,000 yuan!"

"I'll pick you, Brother Tian, ​​what are you saying? Why give me a red envelope?"

Your younger brother is young and promising, quick-witted and sharp, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to take over the position of Fish Head Brand.

He just lacks a bit of experience. If he had stayed with Lian Sheng for another two years, I would have wholeheartedly supported him taking over the leadership position, let alone becoming a district leader!

……

After finishing with the chicken, the skewers were also busy.

Upon returning to Yau Ma Tei, he immediately found Lin Xiaoru, who was holding an account at the fruit market.

"Ah Xiao, have you had lunch yet?"

Upon entering Lin Xiaoru's cramped office, Chuan Bao immediately noticed the mountain of documents piled up on the desk.

I adjusted my glasses and took a closer look. Seeing the dense text on it, I felt a surge of physical disgust.

Otherwise, it's said that getting rich also depends on talent.

"Hey, we were just about to go eat, wanna come along?"

Lin Xiaoru asked with a smile as she sorted through the materials in her hands.

Chuanbao simply pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Lin Xiaoru, then waved his hand.

"No, in order to get you to take charge of Kwun Tong as soon as possible, I just went to Wan Chai to find a chicken vendor."

There's nothing wrong with him; it's just that you'll need to spend money to smooth things over with the other uncles in the Senate.

As Chuanbao spoke, he started counting on his fingers for Lin Xiaoru.

"I've already calculated it for you. Deng Wei is the head of the Senate and he never allows his voice to be questioned."

Besides, he has his own rental income in Mong Kok, so I'll just talk to him and we won't have to pay this money.

Lin Xiaoru simply nodded, waiting for Chuanbao to continue.

"Lung Kan from Sham Shui Po, Shuang Fan Tung from Ngau Tau Kok, Ah Kuen from Tai Po, and Leng Lao Fei Wah are all old friends of mine."

I've put up with them before, so saying hello wouldn't hurt!

Lin Xiaoru nodded. According to Chuanbao's explanation, he could handle six out of the ten uncles.

That leaves only four people that I need to take care of myself.

"Now your main focus is on dealing with the 'flounder' in Kwai Chung, the 'bad dogs' in Tai Kok Tsui, and the 'tanks' in Sha Tin."

But these guys are all money-grubbing. Give them a bribe of twenty or thirty thousand each, and I'll put in a good word for you; it shouldn't be a problem!"

As Chuanbao spoke, he paused to think for a moment, then added something at the end.

"By the way, I promised to give Chuiji a red envelope of 88,000 yuan after the matter is settled."

After all, he's the one in charge. If you want to rise to power, he has to put your name on the register of men in the ocean first.

Lin Xiaoru quickly went through these names in her mind before speaking.

"Ah Da, it seems that one of the ten uncles is missing."

"Shouldn't we take care of that old ghost in blue?"

"What a joke! When the time comes, there will be a grand banquet, and he won't even get to eat vegetarian abalone!"

Chuanbao pouted, clearly annoyed.

"You haven't been with Wo Luen Shing for long, so you don't know that I have a past grudge against him."

This scoundrel fought with Mao Dun for the dragon head staff seventeen years ago. Because I supported Mao Dun that year, he held a grudge against me.

From then on, whenever we sat down to discuss something, I would always disagree with him. He was the person I disliked the most in the Wo Shing Wo!

Lin Xiaoru nodded, not dwelling on the issue.

"Ah Da, then let's do as you say and deal with these people besides Uncle Deng first."

However, I didn't want them to do me a favor for nothing. I promised to give Chuiji 88,000, so that would be 88,000 for each of my uncles.

Excluding Uncle Deng, eight 88,000s—doesn't that sound auspicious?

He's been financially well-off lately; the final payment for the Causeway Bay nightclub renovation project has been settled, and Wah-di also brought over the 380 million HKD in embezzled funds from Ha Pak-ni last night.

Since this 380 million can't be deposited in a bank, I can take out a portion of it to both do favors and improve my intelligence points.

Chuanbao was taken aback when he heard the sound. While praising Lin Xiaoru for being discerning, he also felt sorry for the money.

"You good-for-nothing, you have too much money to burn, huh?"

Eight projects at 88,000 each, that's over 700,000! With so many projects under your belt, you need money everywhere. Can you manage?"

"I can handle it, don't worry, Ah Da. If you're going to make a name for yourself, do it in a respectable way. I don't want to give anyone cause for gossip!"

Lin Xiaoru responded casually, saying it wasn't that he didn't care about money.

He had foresight. If he hadn't joined Wo Shing Wo, according to the established trajectory, Big D would have emerged next year to choose a leader. It was because the official had embezzled 100,000 of the 200,000 red envelope given to Lung Gen, which led to Lung Gen's last-minute defection.

These uncles are petty; if you're going to do someone a favor, you should do it generously!
