Since he is based in Qingdao, Li Ling gathered everyone and reorganized the internal personnel from now on. Formulate rules according to the gang rules of Hongmen. The name of the organization was set to be the Golden Knife Society. The force was divided into four units, and He Jiatang led one group. Sun Yuzhu shared. Jinglian recruited local ruffians as a force. The second black tower led the villagers of Dengfeng, Henan Province as a share. This force is the most combative, all of them are martial arts masters, whether they fight alone or in groups, they are definitely a divine soldier.

The more than 20 Hongmen brothers who had arrived with Li Ling from the south, under the leadership of Meng Sandu, also rushed over from Jinan at this time. Li Ling asked Meng Sandu to sit in the Hongfu Teahouse and contact Brother Hongmen.

The Japanese had already withdrawn their troops from Jinan, and most of them were to be withdrawn to Qingdao. Li Ling knew that Qingdao was mixed, and there must be forces in Jinan that he didn't know, so he ordered Ge Changxing to sit in Jinan and give the consolation pension to the families of the deceased brothers by the way. When the matter here is settled, Li Ling will also go to Luo Jindao and the home of the dead brother in person.

Li Ling stipulated in Jinan that on the same day that the families of the victims should be paid three times the amount of the army. After the Luo Jindao incident, Li Ling revised it, and the family members were paid monthly according to the salary of the local clerk, which must be paid every month, and no one should deduct it from the middle. There are also important gifts on the three festivals every year. If the family members of the victims or the members of the association who are disabled in the line of duty need help, no one in the Golden Knife Association shall have any objections, and if the strength is not enough, they can report it for resolution.

A government clerk can earn 20 oceans per month. This is no small amount of property. Normally, if a family of three is frugal, they can definitely eat for a year, and they can send so much in a month, and they can also solve the worries of the victims' families. It's just to solve the problem of livelihood, Li Ling feels that what he has done is not enough, he should do it in accordance with the rules of Hongmen, Hongmen's first oath: Since entering Hongmen, Er's parents are my parents, Er's brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, Er's wife and my sister-in-law, Erzi and my son, if you break your oath, five thunders will be destroyed.

Li Ling did not hesitate to follow his brothers, and greatly increased everyone's salary. In fact, the people in the gang, except for the thugs who eat money, are basically self-reliant. As long as you are famous or powerful, someone will naturally give you money. Everyone from the bottom of the gang has this dream, but after all, those who can get ahead belong to the minority, and when they learned that Li Ling's subordinates could get a good salary every month, too many people wanted to join the Golden Knife Society.

When he knew that many people were going to join the Golden Sword Society, Li Ling also sighed with emotion: All the heroes of the world are in my ranks. However, when recruiting subordinate personnel, they are required to strive for excellence, and more people are bad, and the rest of the people can be trained supernumerary, and then allowed to officially join the Golden Sword Club depending on the specific performance.

After getting the approval of the local gang in Qingdao, Tan Kee Casino opened anew. This time it is finally back to the former glory of the casino. Jinglian hired a promoter in the casino with a high salary, named Wu Jiayuan.

This Wu Jiayuan is not simple, and he often runs among wealthy families. He once accompanied the warlord Zhang Zongchang to play mahjong, and he could give whatever cards Zhang Zongchang needed, so that Zhang Zongchang would win. What's even more amazing is that although he constantly dismantles and supplies cards, he can maintain a small victory. Zhang Dashuai was surprised as a "genius", and while he was happy, he rewarded him with the beauty of a Qingdao salt bureau director on the gambling table. Due to Zhang Zongchang's evacuation, he, the director of the salt bureau, was also forced to step down, and now he was found by Jinglian on the streets, so he made him the first promoter of the casino.

After Wu Jiayuan's ingenious operation, the casino has returned to the prosperous situation of the past, and even more than before, but the hot situation has not lasted too long, and the slaughter of those gamblers is too powerful, and many people lose money here, so they want to change a casino to try their luck.

Wu Jiayuan found Li Ling and others and said: "I recently came back from Shanghai and opened a No. 181 casino in the French Concession of Shanghai, with Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin. The casino is large-scale, there are all kinds of gambling games, not to mention the casino, but the main thing is to make money. ”

"How do you make money?" He Jiatang hates others talking and selling the guanzi the most, the casino business is originally to make gamblers' money, how can he come to foreign wealth.

Wu Jiayuan smiled slightly and said, "As long as you buy 200 chips and gamble, you can enjoy eating, drinking, and sucking for nothing." There are Chinese and Western restaurants in the interior, so you can enjoy any food for free. At the same time, there is a dedicated bar in the casino with a variety of free drinks. There is also a large smoking couch for those addicts to burn the smoke bubbles and serve them for free. ”

Jing Lian felt a little incredible, and said: "It's just a three-white service, I don't know how much money will be consumed, and this is not counting other expenses." "Jing Lian didn't know that money and rice were expensive before, but now he personally manages Tan Ji Casino, things are cumbersome, just the accounts in and out, and he is almost out of breath.

Although Li Ling thought about it further, he didn't understand how big the casino's profit was, and he also looked at Wu Jiayuan with some doubts.

Wu Jiayuan is most proud of not how his gambling skills are outstanding, but to travel south and north to see a lot of knowledge, he said proudly: "If our casino doubles the turnover of people, I am sure to increase the turnover of the casino by three times." As the largest casino in Qingdao, the monthly income can reach 10,000 oceans. ”

"Ten thousand oceans?" Even Li Ling was taken aback, 10,000 yuan was a huge amount of money, knowing that the casino was making money every day, but he didn't dare to think that it could reach this amount. Li Ling thought for a moment and said: "In this case, we will buy off the rickshaw drivers in the entire Qingdao and enjoy the ocean for pulling customers to the door." In addition, split a place, get a batch of ** from the brothel, and then let it out, as long as you exchange more than 500 chips in Tan Kee Casino, you can hire these ladies at will. ”

After Jing Lian and Wu Jiayuan got Li Ling's approval, they immediately renovated and rectified and organized personnel to carry out publicity. On the day of the opening, the entrance was crowded with traffic. Gamblers in Qingdao heard such good things and rushed to come, not only to gamble for money, but also to enjoy and experience life.

These gamblers thought that there was a free advantage to take advantage of, but the moment they stepped into the table, they were calculated by Wu Jiayuan of Tan Kee Casino and Si Tushou, who was hired by the high salary, and often lost their money.

But every day, lucky people win a lot from the casino and come home with a lot of money. Casinos often let these people shine and set off firecrackers to see them off. Those profit-hungry gamblers look jealous and become more and more frustrated at the table, hoping that they too can be a lucky one. It's just that there aren't many such opportunities.

After the improvement of the casino, the market is so popular that the hot situation cannot even be controlled. Only the number of people can be restricted every day, and even so, there are some people who try to enter by all means. The Chinese are trying to be lively and fresh, and there is still the idea of taking advantage, but there are few who really take advantage. Over the course of a month, the casino's turnover was more than ten times higher than usual.

In this way, the business of other casinos was provoked, and in Qingdao, the bosses of two of the "Lilai Casino" and the "Jinxin Casino" quietly conspired to bribe Shi Gongshu, the chief inspector of the National Police Department, with a large number of casinos.

Shi Gongshu is one of the "Eight Tiger Brothers" in Qingdao, and has strong influence in Qingdao, and a few years ago he formed a rebellion with seven members of the other Youth Gang's "Tong" generation. They relied on these disciples to secretly control the gang forces in Qingdao. If it is said that Shanghai is the world of the "Three Tycoons", and Qingdao is the world of the "Eight Tiger Brothers", everyone who comes to Qingdao will have more or less filial piety to these eight people.

Under the arrangement of Jing Lian, Tan Ji Casino also regularly gave Shi Gongzhu a certain amount of bribes, but recently Tan Ji Casino business is booming, and a large amount of money has flowed into the hands of Li Ling Jinglian and other people.

Most of the people who come to the casino to gamble are some wealthy people, who don't care much about money, but they can't get by on face. When Shi Gongshu sent his henchman He Shouyi, the head of the detective unit, to lead the team, the bustling casino suddenly jumped and everyone rushed to escape through the back door.

He Shouyi just watched all this with a sneer. He knew that Li Ling and these people were outsiders, although the Qingdao Gang allowed them to gain a foothold here, but they didn't have enough oil and water, and he was acting on orders, so he didn't care about the influence of the casino.

When Li Ling, He Jiatang and others got the news at the Hongfu Teahouse, they immediately rushed to the casino, but the building was empty. The entire three-story casino hall was empty, and the gambling game was kicked to the ground in a mess, and it was chaotic. More than a dozen Situ hands and thugs were stunned.

Li Ling was furious when he saw this scene, and called Jing Lian to ask, Jing Lian said with a ashamed face: "It's me who didn't push the casino around, and didn't settle these people in the police department." Please punish Brother Ling. Jinglian had always called Li Ling Brother Ling before, and he was used to being with everyone, and because of this incident, he was ashamed of Li Ling, so he changed his title.

He Jiatang and Sun Yuzhu were also angry, and He Jiatang said: "It's not to blame Jinglian for this. Qingdao is a place to bully, I knew it two years ago. Since these people don't give us a way to live, everyone fights to the death, I don't believe in these characters. ”

Sun Yuzhu pointed to the chaotic casino and shouted: "We endured the humiliation to gain a foothold here, gave up one of the lives of the Golden Dao brothers, and gave a lot of Guangyang to these local hooligans, in exchange for such treatment?" I'm in favor and fight for them. ”

Li Ling knows how much money he pays to the police department every month, and even so, he suffers from this kind of treatment. endured humiliation so much, and was also stumbled everywhere. He couldn't help but be angry, and shouted: "The casino closes the door, let Wang Jian report the information, inform Meng Sandu to go to the south to contact the Hongmen people, and after everything is sorted out, kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”
