224: Taibao
"It may be that the police department sent it down, staring at the plainclothes of the Lotte Gang."
Looking at the motorcycle riders who were far away, Lin Yao said to Mao Xiangyang.
Mao Xiangyang nodded and replied: "The colleagues on Hong Kong Island seem to be very dedicated, and they are not inactive!" ”
"Big guy, do you want to park?"
A middle-aged uncle with a bucket came running in the distance, and came up with a flattering face: "Big guy, my name is Taibao, I am doing the valet parking on this street, leave it to me if you park, park, wash the car, wipe the car, watch the car, I am a road service, I will make sure that you are satisfied." ”
"Valet parking?"
Mao Xiangyang has just come to Hong Kong Island, and valet parking is still a new word for him.
"There are many people on Hong Kong Island, and the place is small, so you can't park casually in many places, otherwise you will be ticketed. These people in charge of valet parking are all old oilmen in this area, who hold some parking spaces for rent, and will take care of the vehicles for you. ”
Lin Yao explained on the side.
"What will happen to them without them?"
Mao Xiangyang asked rhetorically.
Lin Yao glanced at the Taibao who was guarding the side, and replied: "It is easy to be ticketed, and the other is that the current public security environment on Hong Kong Island is relatively chaotic, and the phenomenon of stealing cars has been repeatedly prohibited, garbage trucks, losing tires, lights, windshields, etc. ”
"If it's a luxury car, it's not uncommon for the whole car to be taken away, it is said that there is a small community called Changle on the outlying island, specializing in the black car business, and it can get hundreds of cars all year round, and even Li Superman's car They dare to steal it."
Mao Xiangyang looked weird, and couldn't help asking: "It's understandable to steal a car, but what does it mean to steal windshields, headlights, and tires?" ”
"The crime of stealing a car is too big, and it is at least three years to be caught, so stealing a garbage truck is not worth it. Windshields, headlights, tires, stolen can also be sold for money, and it is difficult to convict, a lot of strapped rotten boys, will fight the idea of these things, when the most arrogant, the New Territories lost 80 windshields a day, all in the newspapers. ”
"yes, yes."
Hearing this, the middle-aged uncle in charge of valet parking also interjected on the side: "This little brother is right, your car is so luxurious, don't say you lose it, even if someone scratches you, it's not worth it." ”
"I'm from the Lotte Gang, these streets are covered by us, you can rest assured when you hand over the car to me, make sure what it looks like when you come, what it looks like when you take it away, not a single dust will fall."
"Rakuten!"
Hearing this, Lin Yao smiled coldly: "You Lotte are about to become a sunset club, it's hard to say whether you can survive this time, let's hand over the car to you, don't let the people who step on the field smash it, otherwise you just wait to cry." ”
The middle-aged uncle shook his head again and again after hearing this: "No, no, no, my Taibao is also a well-known figure, and whoever comes has to give me some face." ”
"Taibao!"
Before Lin Yao and the others could agree, seven or eight rotten boys wearing gold chains came in the distance.
Seeing these people, Taibao's face changed greatly, and he shrank his head and shrank his head and was about to go aside.
"Taibao, you are deaf, our coffee brother is calling you!"
Two rotten boys ran up, grabbed the Taibao and pressed him to the car.
Coincidentally, this car was driven by Lin Yao and the others, looking at Taibao's body of more than 200 catties, slamming on the car cover, Mao Xiangyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Taibao, I told you last time that you were transferred to our business, how did you think about it?"
"It's not that I'm talking about you, your Lotte is finished, the so-called three streets, what is left except for the headquarters in front of you?"
"I saw you in coffee, so I wanted to pull you and let you switch gears to do it with me, don't you know how to lift."
In the crowd, a young man walked in and out, who seemed to be the boss of the group.
Lin Yao and Mao Xiangyang sat in the car and listened, and found that the other party was not here to clean up the Taibao, but wanted him to betray Lotte and join their gang.
You know, this is the gate of Lotte Casino, the nest of the Lotte Gang.
The people of the Gang are blocking Lotte's people here to make him change gears, and they are so arrogant that it seems that Lotte will really not be able to jump for a few days.
"I didn't expect this fat middle-aged man to be quite popular!"
Mao Xiangyang was a little unbelievable, Taibao looked like he was thirty or forty years old, fat and decrepit, this kind of person actually wanted to be, it was really incomprehensible.
Mao Xiangyang couldn't figure it out, but Lin Yao thought very clearly, and explained: "Don't underestimate people like Taibao, he is in charge of a street valet parking business, charging 10 Hong Kong dollars per hour for each car, and 1000 Hong Kong dollars for a hundred cars, I dare not say that it is more than 24 hours, there must be five or six thousand Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Five or six thousand a day, more than 100,000 a month."
"Winning the Taibao is equivalent to winning this golden chicken that does not need to pay, and it is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per month, which is really a lot for small and medium-sized communities."
"Isn't it, can't they get rid of the Taibao and do it themselves?"
Mao Xiangyang asked rhetorically.
Lin Yao smiled and shook his head: "No, each line has its own rules, the Taibao has always been responsible for valet parking here, and has a tacit understanding with the patrol police who govern the street, what if the newcomer doesn't buy it, who will bear the risk?" That's why they let Taibao change gears, instead of driving him away and changing someone to continue to do it. ”
Hong Kong Island society is hierarchical, and everyone has their place.
People like the Taibao are the lowest level of the community, and they are also the most indispensable layer.
Strictly speaking, none of them can be counted in the Black Society, at most they are small merchants who contract the streets.
This businessman also has to hand over ninety percent of the money he earns to the community in his area as a sanitation fee, and at the end of the year, he earns more from hard work than from work, and the big head has long been taken away by the people above.
"The story of the Taibao is very representative, and I will write a report when I go back, and it will be called: Looking at the problem of community communities on Hong Kong Island from the perspective of valet parking!"
"This kind of perspective of starting from the grassroots and going deep into the masses is much more important than rhetoric."
"The relationship between the CPIC and the community is not a microcosm of the current Hong Kong Island society, the relationship between ordinary people and the community."
Mao Xiangyang said he would do it, took out the diary in his bag and wrote it, recording the flash of inspiration on paper.
Lin Yao didn't bother him, sitting in the car and smoking, watching the conversation between Brother Coffee and Taibao with great interest.
"Taibao, the first two times I asked my little brother to come, you said you wanted to talk to me personally."
"Okay, now I'm here to see what you have to say."
Brother Coffee walked up and asked the younger brother to let go of Taibao.
Taibao lowered his head, did not speak, and poked there like a dead man.
"Say!"
Brother Coffee yelled, startling Taibao.
"Say what?"
Taibao looked like a soft egg, but he didn't think that there was really something in his bones, which was not only an excuse, but also a cheer for himself: "Eight years ago, my Taibao was exiled to Saigon, and it was the old man who took me in and asked me to do valet parking business on this street, so I didn't starve to death." ”
"Now the old man has just left with his front foot, and I will vote for you with my back foot, and I am also mixed up in the rivers and lakes, what do you let everyone think of me, it is clear that you want to embarrass me!"
"Taibao, I gave you a chance, since you want to be buried with Lotte, I will fulfill you!"
Brother Coffee doesn't eat dry rice either, how can you not see Taibao's attitude.
Angry in his heart, he waved his big hand and shouted: "I'll beat it, let this servant street take a look, he was beaten in front of Lotte's hall, is there anyone who doesn't have long eyes who will come out to save him!" ”
Cracking sound!!
A few people surrounded the Taibao and beat them violently.
Not far away, is the closed gate of Lotte Amusement City, the headquarters of the Lotte Gang.
Just like someone said, when you come out to mix, there is no morality.
At this time, the Lotte Gang has no leader, there are external troubles, and there are internal worries, how can they take care of a little person who valets parking.
After a while, Taibao was beaten and dizzy, and from beginning to end, the door of Lotte Entertainment City was never opened.
