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

Chapter 71 The Most Useless Person in the Wo Shing Wo

Inside a Jockey Club betting station in So Uk Estate, Kwan Tsz-sum, the de facto head of Sham Shui Po, was sitting inside, scribbling and drawing with a pen.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club's public stands were packed today, and with live streaming, the betting stations attracted many spectators who came to place their bets.

On the eve of the game, a few hooligans sat around the television set that was set up for the live broadcast, discussing the matter animatedly.

"Buy number 3! It has tremendous staying power; it's just conserving its energy for now, and will continue to rise!"

"I also have my eye on number 3. It has a well-proportioned body and a wide stride; it's definitely a dark horse!"

"Damn it, I bought both the 3rd and the 7th!"

Suddenly, a thug approached and whispered in the crowd.

"Stop arguing, Brother Sen just bought number 3!"

The scene fell silent. The group of thugs who had just been optimistic about number 3 exchanged glances and changed their minds.

Finally, someone broke the deadlock.

"Oh no, there's definitely going to be a plague outbreak on the 3rd. I think I'll change my bets!"

"Yeah, Sen always loses on everything he bets on. In the first half of this year, he followed Manchester United in five matches, and every time Manchester United lost badly!"

"Fuck your mother, I'd better go back to the brothel and get to work. Brother Sen will definitely come asking us for money later if he loses!"

After placing his bets, Guan Zai Sen took a break and went to the restroom inside to chase a dragon.

When he came out again, the live stream had already ended, and unsurprisingly, his bet on number 3 had already lost.

However, Guan Zai Sen was completely bewildered, sitting blankly in the betting station with a dazed expression.

Those present were used to his behavior and were just waiting for him to come to his senses without disturbing him.

Taibao drove Lin Xiaoru to the entrance of the betting station.

When Lin Xiaoru came from Zhihe Street, she took a moment to visit Decheng Street.

One of the police officers died, and sure enough, the other side was turned upside down by the police.

Lin Xiaoru instructed Taibao to call the plane and warn him not to go to Decheng Street after work for the next two days unless he had something to do.

Lin Xiaoru's visit to Sham Shui Po was naturally for the fish market project on Beihe Street.

After all, the project was being carried out on Longgen's territory, and he had previously promised Kill Fish Cheng that he would hand over the entire supply of fresh fish to him, so some smooth-talking was inevitable.

As for why they first went to find this good-for-nothing Kwan Tsz-sum, it was all because the old rules and regulations of Wo Luen Shing were complicated and everything had to be based on reason.

Although the nominal head of Sham Shui Po is not Kwan Tsai-sam, he is still the nominal district head.

Just like when I first took office, even though a bunch of old guys would have just nodded in agreement, I insisted on getting in touch with the guy who was trying to expedite things.

The three Li brothers got out of the car first and opened the door for Lin Xiaoru.

The three brothers stood at the door until Lin Xiaoru entered the betting station, their eyes never falling on her.

"Brother Xiao?"

Inside the betting station, some of the younger staff recognized Lin Xiaoru and greeted her.

Lin Xiaoru nodded in acknowledgment, then picked out one of the younger men to ask.

"Where is your brother Sen?"

"Look, over there!"

The younger brother pointed to a spot against the wall, where Guan Zai Sen was sitting facing the wall, his back to the wall, looking like he was having a great time.

Lin Xiaoru smiled knowingly, then took out a hunchbacked man's banknote from her pocket and stuffed it into the young man's hand.

"Go buy me a pack of cigarettes, and use the rest to treat these brothers to tea."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much!"

After dismissing the group of young men who had left Sham Shui Po, Lin Xiaoru led Tai Bao over.

"Brother Sen, can you hear me?"

"Yes—yes—damn it, number 3 lost, how—how could they lose?"

Guan Zisen's eyes were unfocused, and he kept muttering to himself.

"It's good that I can hear you."

Lin Xiaoru nodded and got straight to the point.

"I've taken on a fish market construction project on Beihe Street, and construction will begin soon."

When the brothers come over to work, please be understanding, Brother Sen!

"What? What are you building?"

"Let's build a fish market!"

"oh--

Guan Zai Sen glanced at Lin Xiao Ru and then chuckled foolishly.

"I recognize you. You're Lin Xiaoru from Kwun Tong?"

"Wishing you prosperity! Give me money, and I'll—get you to do things!"

Lin Xiaoru touched her chin and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

How much do you want?

"Three hundred thousand! Help me pay off my gambling debts, and I'll do whatever I want in Sham Shui Po!"

Lin Xiaoru couldn't help but frown.

This guy seems to be really out of his mind. He's not even a nobody in the deep waters, yet he dares to ask me for 300,000?

He was just there to make a show of things; he hadn't even planned to give Longgen that much.

Just as Lin Xiaoru got up to leave, a shout suddenly came from the doorway.

"Brother Sen? Do you even want to live?"

Lin Xiaoru looked around and saw a handsome young man in a black suit standing at the door.

Li Xiangdong and the other two tried to stop them, but Lin Xiaoru stopped them with a single look.

Lin Xiaoru recognized him; this was Jimmy from Sham Shui Po, Long Gen's most valued junior.

If it weren't for Guan Zisen, that good-for-nothing, still clinging to his wretched life, he would have been the leader of Sham Shui Po long ago!

Jimmy quickly walked in and saw Lin Xiaoru. He also switched to a smiling face and greeted her.

After Lin Xiaoru nodded in response, he sat down next to Guan Zaisen.

He reached out and patted Guan Zisen's face.

"Brother Sen, on drugs again? Do you think you have too much time on your hands?!"

Guan Zisen seemed to have sobered up a bit. He frowned and turned his face away somewhat uncomfortably.

"No, I didn't take any drugs—"

Jimmy sniffed the air, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"You're not on drugs, you're chasing dragons!"

"No--"

"Then tell me, is it daytime or nighttime?"

Guan Zisen was stunned for a moment, then let out a silly laugh.

"Hehehe—"

Seeing Guan Zai Sen's listless state, Jimmy didn't bother to care anymore.

He stood up abruptly and extended his right hand toward Lin Xiaoru.

"Sorry, Brother Xiao, I got a call from Boss Ding. You won't get anything out of him!"

Lin Xiaoru shook hands with Jimmy and then spoke.

"It's alright, I've already spoken with your boss. I'll pay him a visit and then go talk to him."

"No need, he's currently driving a boat in Shanghai and won't be back for a while."

"What's wrong, Brother Xiao? Just tell me!"

Lin Xiaoru was taken aback and subconsciously raised her wrist to look at her watch.

No wonder he's called Longgen. At his age, he still goes out to "exert fire" at midday. He's got a really good physique!

Lin Xiaoru didn't ask any more questions at the moment. He knew that the real person in charge of Sham Shui Po was Jimmy in front of him, and talking to him would save him a lot of effort.

After Lin Xiaoru nodded in agreement, Jimmy immediately stood up.

"Let's go chat at the Thai Tea House next door. I've prepared some tea there; I have some things I need to ask Brother Xiao."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoru pointed to Guan Zaisen, who was still grinning foolishly to the side.

Jimmy immediately waved his hand: "Don't worry about him, he'll go back on his own once he's clear-headed!"

At the Thai Tea House, Jimmy brewed a pot of fragrant Longjing tea and poured a cup for Lin Xiaoru.

After offering tea, Jimmy got straight to the point.

"I've heard that Brother Xiao is a big businessman. It's a rare honor for him to grace us with his presence today and come to visit us in Sham Shui Po."

"Please don't mind if there's anything I haven't done well in terms of hospitality."

Lin Xiaoru put down her teacup.

"How could that be? I'm doing you a favor by bringing my business to your turf!"

Jimmy smiled and stopped arguing.

"Hey, in Sham Shui Po, Brother Xiao can go ahead and do whatever business he's interested in."

I heard that Brother Xiao is planning to expand his construction team recently. I wonder if I could invest in it?

Seeing Lin Xiao's frown, Jimmy quickly added.

"Of course, if Brother Xiao doesn't agree, just let me know, it's no problem!"

"Which stocks are you interested in?"

"It's not really about investing; I just wanted to team up with Brother Xiao and get into logistics and transportation!"

The two projects in Tsuen Wan are not small-scale projects. I can fund a few vehicles and form a transportation team.

"From now on, whatever materials Brother Xiao needs, I can handle it all. We're family, so I guarantee a cheaper price than outsiders!"

These words really struck a chord with Lin Xiaoru.

The Rongguang Real Estate project is under pressure right now, and although I still have some spare money, it's not much.

Expanding the construction team and warehousing are already a challenge, so if Jimmy can help solve the logistics and transportation problems, it would be a good thing for him.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiaoru responded.

"Think carefully. Right now, all I have are three projects that Rongguang Real Estate has given me."

After these three projects are completed, I might not have any more business to do with you.

"It's like testing the waters; you have to do business to become familiar with the ways."

Besides, Brother Xiao, you're in such high spirits! I don't believe you'll run out of business after taking on these three projects!

Jimmy's answer was watertight. As one of the few smart young men in Wo Luen Shing, he often does things with his own set of meticulous logic.

Previously, seeing that Lin Xiaoru was capable enough to snatch several big orders from Big D without Big D complaining, he concluded that this young man, who was not much older than himself, had far superior skills.

Furthermore, seeing that Lin Xiaoru dared to expand her construction team so rapidly despite the shortage of funds strengthened his belief that following Lin Xiaoru would surely bring him success.

In business, one must also be willing to take risks.

Jimmy had sold enough pirated VCDs in Sham Shui Po and couldn't get used to the business in Ma Lan.

He joined the gang to find shelter from the wind and rain for his business. Now that he has accumulated enough capital, he is naturally focused on legitimate business!

This time, Lin Xiaoru didn't think about it anymore and directly stated her conditions.

"Okay! From now on, you'll be in charge of all the projects and logistics for me!"

However, after the fish market in Sham Shui Po was built, all the fish had to be supplied by Lei Yue Mun.

If you can convince your grandfather, you can apply for the license and prepare to start construction on a chosen date!

"No problem! None of our Sham Shui Po students know how to go out to sea to fish!"

"So, I'll talk to Grandpa, and from now on, all the fish in the fish markets we control in Sham Shui Po will be supplied by Lei Yue Mun!"

Jimmy was excited; to him, this was practically a freebie.

Anyway, all the fishmongers need to buy fish, so it doesn't matter who they buy from. It's just a matter of who he decides to buy from.

He couldn't be happier than to sell Lin Xiaoru for free in exchange for a chance to get the legitimate job he had always longed for!

After the conversation, both sides were quite satisfied.

After enjoying tea, Jimmy led Lin Xiaoru on a tour of the various fish markets in Sham Shui Po.

Lin Xiaoru made a conservative estimate that if Sha Yucheng were to contract out all the fish market supplies in Sham Shui Po, he would conservatively estimate that he would earn more than 60 yuan more each month.

This 60 may not sound like much, but it's a sum of money that I can just wait for from Kill Fish Cheng to give me on time without having to do anything!

Lin Xiaoru didn't return to Zhihe Street until after 3 p.m.

After seeing Lin Xiaoru off, Jimmy, without suspecting anything, busied himself preparing the necessary documents, intending to apply for the transportation company's license directly.

This is the advantage of being a big shot in a triad. Wo Luen Shing has tens of thousands of members, most of whom are just affiliated with the Wo Luen Shing brand. They might not be able to actually go out and kill people.

But if you were to find a few laborers among these tens of thousands of people who could drive and carry bags, it would be incredibly easy.

Just as Jimmy had finished preparing the materials and was about to head out to the Transport Department, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Who is it?

As Jimmy shouted, a neurotic voice came from outside.

"Jimmy, it's me!"

It was Guan Zisen. Jimmy couldn't help but frown, put down the materials, walked out of the study, opened the door, and welcomed Guan Zisen into the house.

Guan Zisen had regained consciousness, but he emitted an unpleasant odor.

His eyes were bloodshot and his hair was a mess; he looked nothing like a boss.

Jimmy didn't mind at all and poured Guan Zai Sen a cup of tea before speaking.

"I heard from the people at the betting station that you've spent all your money on horse racing again."

Brother Sen, I know you'll be upset if I say this, but I just can't help it. Gambling and drugs are things that will ruin a person if they get involved with either one!

"You do both, do you know what the mistresses down there are saying about you?"

"So what if they call me a loser?"

Guan Zisen picked up his teacup and took a sip, showing a good understanding of his own limitations.

As he drank the tea, he spoke again.

"I was feeling groggy just now. Did Lin Xiaoru offer you any benefits when she asked you to come and discuss business?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I recently lost money and owed 300,000 at a gambling den in Temple Street."

They've been pressuring me a lot these past few days. Have Lin Xiaoru give me this money, and let him run the business in Sham Shui Po!

"Didn't I just give you money a while ago? You lost it and you still want to gamble?!"

Jimmy yelled at Kwan Tsz-sum, then helplessly pulled up a chair and sat down next to Kwan Tsz-sum.

He patiently continued asking.

"To be honest, how much is it exactly?"

Guan Zai Sen didn't dare to meet Jimmy's gaze. He both respected and feared this nominal younger brother.

What I admire is that I treat Jimmy as a long-term meal ticket, and every time I ask him for money, he always gives me some.

What Guan Zai Sen fears is that he knows he is a gambling addict and drug addict. Jimmy is increasingly valued by Long Gen, and he is worried that one day Long Gen will get angry and completely remove him from the position of leader, replacing him with Jimmy. At that time, he will really become a penniless wretch!

So he stammered and mumbled something vaguely.

"Actually—it's only two hundred thousand—"

"Explain yourself! Sometimes it's 300,000, sometimes it's 200,000!"

I'll have someone inquire; if you ask for an extra one, you can forget about getting a single dollar from me again!

"Ninety-eight thousand! It really is ninety-eight thousand!"

Jimmy, please help me just this once, just the very last time! I promise I'll never gamble again, I promise!

Taken aback, Guan Zai Sen immediately backed down, becoming meek and submissive, almost kneeling down before Jimmy on the spot.

Jimmy sighed, then got up and went to his room to get the money.

Not long after, he returned with a bundle of 100,000 yuan in cash.

Guan Zai Sen immediately perked up and reached out to take the money before Jimmy could hand it to him, but Jimmy blocked him.

"Every time they say it's the last time, but then it happens again and again!"

Brother Sen, have some decency. If you really can't quit your drug addiction, I beg you, please stop gambling, okay?

Every time he gets high on drugs and starts betting recklessly, do you know how many times those goddaughters on the streets of Shanghai would have to sell themselves to earn back that 100,000 yuan?!

"I know, I will definitely change, I will definitely change!"

After returning to her residence on Zhihe Street, Lin Xiaoru immediately called Sha Yucheng to inform him to take some time to go to Sham Shui Po to hand over the work with Jimmy.

When Kill Fish Cheng heard that he would be supplying all the fish to the entire Sham Shui Po Tong area, he immediately showered him with flattery.

After hearing too many nice words, she grew tired of them. After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoru took out paper and pen and did some detailed calculations.

The project at the Dongji Building is nearing completion, and as agreed with Luo Dingkun beforehand, the final payment of seven million should be settled by the end of the month.

The fish market in Sham Shui Po is a municipal project, so the investment isn't too large. All things considered, including manpower and resources, an initial budget of 1.5 million should be enough.

The current problem is those two projects in Tsuen Wan. He needs to invest in building his own warehouse in Yuen Long, as well as raw materials. Fat Boy Cong had previously calculated a detailed account for himself. To ensure that the two projects are completed smoothly within the time agreed by Cheng Rongguang, he would have to invest at least 2300 million!

Then, estimating the cash I currently have, I can expect to settle around 1400 million yuan in total for the two projects at the Dongji Building.

Together with Hua Di and Chen Guozhong, they made two double-crosses, involving 800 million.

In other words, the cash he has earned during this period is around 2200 million.

However, during this period, in order to climb the ranks, plus supporting his younger brothers, maintaining a construction team, and purchasing raw materials, he spent a total of 80

More than 0 million.

Including the budget for the construction team's expansion, I'll have to come up with at least another 1000 million yuan.

After deducting these expenses, he still has 400 million yuan in spare cash that he can use.

Four million is simply a drop in the ocean compared to covering the expenses of those two projects in Tsuen Wan.

Lin Xiaoru put down her pen and paper, lit a cigarette, and entered a state of deep thought.

After a long while, until the cigarette ash fell from her fingertips, Lin Xiaoru finally came to her senses and immediately summoned the system panel.

"System, check if Han Chen keeps all the dirt on those informants and moles within the police force in one place?"

[Query successful. This query requires 20000 points. Do you wish to pay points to obtain the information?]

"yes!"

Points deduction successful. Current points balance: 3680000

Han Chen had his leverage over the moles within the police force all in one place.

"Continue the investigation. Are all these incriminating evidences located on Hong Kong Island?"

[This query requires 30000 points. Points deducted successfully. Han Chen has placed all this leverage over Hong Kong Island.]

"Next, investigate whether these incriminating evidences are all located in Tuen Mun?"

[This query requires 20000 points. Deduction successful. No.]

Lin Xiaoru did some research and had previously checked where Han Chen had hidden those incriminating materials, but the system's offer of 1200 million points deterred him.

Now that he urgently needs money, he has reconnected with Liu Jianming, and Han Chen, this fat pig, has no choice but to be slaughtered.

In response, he could only resort to exploiting a bug in the system to try and find out where Han Chen had placed the incriminating evidence against those insiders.

Finally, when Lin Xiaoru asked Han Chen if he had left all the leverage in Tsim Sha Tsui, the system gave her an astonishing quote.

[This query requires 600 million points. Insufficient points have been detected in the host's account, therefore the information cannot be obtained.]

"Oh right, it really is in Tsim Sha Tsui!"

In an instant, Lin Xiaoru already had the answer in her heart.

He followed the clues, mentally reviewing Han Chen's various establishments in Tsim Sha Tsui, and continued his questioning.

"Could you help me find out if this incriminating evidence is from the Queen's Ballroom in Tsim Sha Tsui?"

It was a long and tedious process. After an hour and a half and spending nearly a million points, Lin Xiaoru gradually narrowed down the scope of her search and finally found out where Han Chen had stored those incriminating clues about the moles!
