Chapter 19: Kang Long has regrets

26 March 1984.

Liangkun received an invitation.

"Liangkun my brother Taijian:

To whom it may concern

The Tri United Sports Association Tri United Football Team will be established on 29 March 1984 at 2 Tong Ming Street, Tiu Keng Leg, Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung District. I hope my brother will take the time to come and participate in the grand event.

Hope is restored.

Hail to Jun'an.

Foolish brother Jiang Guangrong on the same day. ”

Liangkun read the invitation card and said to Mary Donna: "Jiang Guangrong is really hard!" ran away to Taiwan, and was favored by the Sanlian Gang again, and now he is asked to form a branch of the Sanlian Gang in Hong Kong. ”

Marydonna said, "Then Brother Kun, are you going to cheer?" ”

Liangkun said: "Go, of course go!" He is popular in the Triad Gang, how can he not give him this face? ”

Marydonna said: "It's really unexpected, their triad is actually in a poor place like Saigon. ”

Liang Kun said: "Although Tiaojingling is poor, it can be regarded as the home of Taiwanese. ”

Marydonnach said: "Taiwanese still have a home field in Hong Kong? ”

Liang Kun said: "It was originally called 'Hanging Neck Ridge', and an Englishman hanged himself there. In 1949, after Chiang Lao was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, his stragglers and their families who fled to Hong Kong were placed in the Davis Ridge Civic Village. However, in the early 1950s, a group of leftist students went to the Mount Davis refugee area to provoke the veterans, which eventually turned into bloodshed. As a result, the Hong Kong government relocated the veterans and their families to Tiu Keng Leng in June 1950. Later, the Hong Kong government adopted the homonym of 'Hanging Neck Ridge' and renamed it 'Tiu Keng Lean', which means 'adjusting the situation'. In the early years, it was located in a very remote place, and the only means of transportation to the outside world was the ferry to Shau Kei Wan. Therefore, Tiu Keng Ling has a strong Kuomintang political color, and all schools in the ridge will be closed on October 10 every year, and the whole village will hold a ceremony to commemorate the establishment of the Nationalist Government, and the blue sky and white sun are red all year round, and the British do not deliberately interfere in the implementation of these activities. The 'Double Ten Riots' started because some people forbade them to hang the blue sky and white sun flag. During the 'June 7 riots', the villagers there also set up their own security teams to patrol to prevent leftists from entering the village and poisoning water sources. ”

Marydonna suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that there are all remnants of the Kuomintang!" No wonder the Taiwanese chose the site there! ”

……

29 March 1984.

2 Tong Ming Street, Tiu Keng Leng in Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung District.

After Liangkun arrived, he found that the whole street can be said to be noisy with gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances, red flags, and crowds.

Jiang Guangrong was greeting the bigwigs of Dongxing, and Jiang Tiannan was also here.

Seeing that Liangkun had arrived, Jiang Guangrong also came over and shook hands with Liangkun.

Liangkun said: "Brother Da Rong, Dongxing can be said to be all the same in Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Ling, you have chosen a good place." ”

Jiang Guangrong said: "Thanks to Lei Gong, the leader of the Sanlian Gang, who has entrusted me with an important task and is responsible for setting up the Sanlian Gang's office in Hong Kong. You can rest assured, our Sanlian Gang is not here to fight for turf. Rather, they came with a friendly purpose. Speaking of which, our helper Lei Gong still admires you very much. ”

Liangkun asked with interest, "Oh, is it?" The Thunder Gang Master also knows about me? ”

Jiang Guangrong said: "Brother Kun was a famous martial arts writer and lyricist in Hong Kong before, and Sun Yong, the chief protector of our Triple Gang, is also a well-known martial arts writer in Taiwan. Now, Brother Kun's "Butcher on a Rainy Night" is also very good at the box office in Taiwan. The Lei gang leader is ready to follow Brother Kun and also enter the film industry. ”

Liang Kun said: "Then your conditions are much more convenient than mine, isn't the 'One-Armed Sword King' Fang Gang a member of your Triple Gang?" ”

Jiang Guangrong said: "It seems that Brother Kun also knows our Triple Gang very well. ”

Liangkun said: "The Sanlian Gang is the largest gang in the world, as long as there are ears on the rivers and lakes, how can anyone not hear of it?" ”

The two of them just praised each other like this, and they couldn't see the discord between the two people at all.

Of course, with so many guests, Jiang Guangrong couldn't just accompany Liangkun alone.

After Jiang Guangrong said goodbye and left, Liangkun walked to Jiang Tiannan's side and greeted him, the third leader of Hongxing.

Jiang Tiannan said: "Ah Kun, Ah Xin, you have to hurry up with that matter, if you can't do it, I can call someone else to help." ”

Liangkun said: "Brother Nan, that kid has long since run away, if you have any news of him, let me know, and I will go over and kill him immediately." ”

Jiang Tiannan said with a smile: "A word is a certainty!" ”

……

Lei Gong, the leader of the Triple Gang, is indeed walking the same path as Liangkun - entering the film industry.

Compared with Liu Weimin forcing Fang Gang to go to his casino to cheer, Dong Guisen opening a song hall, Yang Shuangwu forcibly grabbing a star contract, and "" Hua Jizhong and star Lu Yichan "falling in love", Lei Gong felt that Liangkun was doing more advanced, and he also wanted to participate in the production of the movie, but he had been suffering from no way.

As for Fang Gang's movie, Lei Gong still thinks that he has not done it to that point, and he has to rob his brother of food.

At this moment, Shuai Yuefeng seemed to fall from the sky and entered Lei Gong's line of sight.

Shuai Yuefeng's father is a former Kuomintang army lieutenant general, and he himself was a third-generation disciple of Du Yuesheng, and this background is too much for Lei Gong's appetite. Lei Gong, as a child of a dependent village, has always had a deep sense of family and country, although he has a deep hatred with the "Four Seas Gang", but he is very envious of the children of those high-ranking officials in his bones; At the same time, Lei Gong, as the big brother of the underworld, has a deep "Du Yuesheng feelings", and takes Du Yuesheng as an example everywhere, and talks about the "night pot theory" all day long.

Under the active attraction of Lei Gong, Shuai Yuefeng joined the Triple Gang, and also took the important position of "arms custodian", responsible for the custody of the arms of the Triple Gang.

Before Shuai Yuefeng joined the Triple Gang, he was a well-known director in the entertainment industry, and he had made many films.

Just when Lei Gong was dreaming of "entering the entertainment industry", Shuai Yuefeng had an accident.

Shuai Yuefeng was beaten by Ye Mingcai, the leader of the Niupu Gang and nicknamed "Niu Cai", and Sister Sang Lan, the mother of the Pacific Nightclub in Zhongshan District, Taipei City, and was hit by the immortal jump. I didn't eat the mutton, but I was stained with a sassy smell.

The loss of money is still a trivial matter, the key is that Shuai Yuefeng has lost face, so he secretly swore that Sister Lan must pay the "price" for this matter - revenge on Niu Cai, Shuai Yuefeng does not have the courage and ability. I had to find Sister Lan to vent my anger.

Shuai Yuefeng found a time to go to the nightclub to find Sister Lan, and he happened to meet Sister Lan messing around with a man in a small room. As soon as he rushed in, he shot and wounded someone, and he was caught on the spot.

After Lei Gong spent tens of thousands of yuan to bail Shuai Yuefeng out of the police station, he said to Shuai Yuefeng: "You are not suitable for mixing on the road, let's make your movie." ”

"Why?" Shuai Yuefeng was anxious, thinking that Lei Gong was going to drive him out of the gang. 

"After Brother Zhou went to the United States, his film company was in a recession, you go to Wang Yu and cooperate with him." Lei Gong said, "I will leave the affairs of weapons management in the gang to others, and I asked a friend from the police station to bring a message to Niu Caizai, and he will not mess with you for the time being." ”

"Thank you, Boss." When Shuai Yuefeng heard this, he was so moved that he almost didn't kneel. 

"Follow your original path to development, remember, know more people on the white road, if there is a suitable one, take me to know a few." Lei Gong said, "If there is a lack of filming funds, even if you open your mouth, one or two million is not a problem." ”

Shuai Yuefeng choked up: "I must live up to the boss's expectations." ”

Lei Gong smiled faintly: "As long as you don't cause me more trouble." ”

……

Shuai Yuefeng really did not break his promise, and introduced the great director Bai Jingrui to Lei Gong.

Bai Jingrui is a well-known figure in the literary and artistic circles, and has led many award-winning films. Not only that, but he had a good relationship with many high-ranking figures in the Kuomintang.

Lei Gong has long wanted to know Bai Jingrui, and then meet the upper-level people who have a good relationship with Bai Jingrui.

Although Bai Jingrui is a famous director, he doesn't like to deal with middle- and lower-class people, after Shuai Yuefeng took Lei Gong to see him and introduced him, at first, he didn't take Lei Gong very seriously, but as soon as the two sides came into contact, from the conversation, he found that Lei Gong was really not simple, and he also heard that Lei Gong had a good relationship with some high-level people in Baidao.

Lei Gong knew that Bai Jingrui had two films in his hands that could not be started due to lack of funds, and immediately proposed a "cooperation plan" and was willing to invest 20 million to fund the success of the film. Twenty million funds, not to mention two movies, even ten movies are enough. Bai Jingrui felt that Lei Gong was righteous, and the two became good friends.

A few days later, Bai Jingrui called Lei Gong and said that he would introduce a friend to him. When Lei Gong drove to Bai Jingrui's new residence on Minzu West Road, Datong District, Taipei City, he saw a table of wine in the house, and several men and women were seated in the banquet.

"Brother Bai, I'm really sorry, I forgot that today was your housewarming." Lei Gong said embarrassedly and took out a red envelope from his pocket. When he was driving on the road, he remembered to prepare a congratulatory gift, and he didn't have time to buy it for a while, so he simply filled out a check for one million and wrapped it in red paper, which was considered a congratulatory gift.

"You and I are good friends, and we still talk about rudeness." Bai Jingrui accepted the red envelope with a smile, took Lei Gong's hand to the banquet, and introduced it to the few people sitting in the banquet: "This is what I told you about Lei Gong." ”

Then, Bai Jingrui introduced the people in the banquet to Lei Gong one by one: "This is Yu Songtao, secretary general of the presidential office, and these two are Wang Xiling, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and his wife. ”

Every time Bai Jingrui introduced someone, Lei Gong nodded humbly to that person, and when Wang Xiling and his wife were introduced, Lei Gong glanced at Wang Xiling several times.

After the "Xinghuage Bloody Case," Green Snake left the United States, Fang Gang ran back to Hong Kong, and Lei Gong returned to the Triple Gang to preside over the affairs of the Triple Gang at the request of Taiwan's intelligence department, and also became an intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau, directly under the management of Chen Humen, director of the Third Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau in charge of Southeast Asian affairs.

Lei Gong, who is already a veteran intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau, has not yet met Wang Xiling, the director of the bureau, and when I saw it today, Wang Xiling was really as Chen Humen said, not smiling, his eyes were gloomy and cold, and when he looked at people, he seemed to be able to see the bones of people at once. When Wang Xiling looked at Lei Gong indifferently, Lei Gong was coldly shocked.

Lei Gong sat down beside Yu Songtao.

Bai Jingrui said politely: "Once born and twice cooked, from now on, everyone will be friends." ”

"I heard that Mr. Chen is a very good person." Yu Songtao said, "We all want to meet you, I used to think that the bosses of the gang looked like fierce gods, but Mr. Chen looked like a polite university teacher." ”

Yu Songtao's words drew laughter from several people, but there was still no trace of a smile on Wang Xiling's face.

Wang Xiling said: "Mr. Chen seems to be still engaged in legitimate business, isn't he?" ”

Before Lei Gong came, Bai Jingrui told a few people about Lei Gong's situation.

"It's just a small business." Lei Gong said.

Yu Songtao said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is too modest, where ordinary businessmen can throw out 20 million yuan as soon as they meet, Director Wang's military intelligence bureau can understand your gangster figures clearly." ”

Of course, Lei Gong knew that the figures above the big brother level of the major gangs were all under the surveillance of the intelligence department, and he smiled with him: "That's, that's." ”

Yu Songtao said: "Your power is very large, and your business is also very large. At present, many civil servants are reciting the business scriptures, which are not easy to read, and they will smash their old books if they are not careful. ”

Who here doesn't know that many large group enterprises have a family nature, especially the family that has a close relationship with Bai Dao, Yu Songtao's words were deliberately said to Lei Gong.

Lei Gong carefully tasted the meaning of Yu Songtao's words, and said: "Actually, this business scripture is not difficult to read, if you want, I can ...... it."

Lei Gong's words were interrupted by Wang Xiling: "How can he be in the same league with people like you? The fact that I am able to allow you to sit with us today is entirely for the sake of Brother Bai's face. ”

Lei Gong's face changed slightly, and he scolded in his heart: What kind of stinky shelf, when I haven't seen a big person, Vice President Li is still shaking hands with me. looked at Bai Jingrui at the moment, and did not speak.

Bai Jingrui got up and said: "Brother Wang, don't say something like that, I am deeply honored to be able to invite a few people to the cold house today, don't hurt the harmony, come!" Drink, drink. ”

Yu Songtao whispered to Lei Gong in private: "Director Wang's words are bluffing, don't take it to heart, those who can be invited by Director Bai Da are not ordinary, and they can't distinguish between high and low, if Mr. Chen has any good business, he can take care of me." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Lei Gong said, "I have a plan to open a multinational futures trading company, I don't know if Secretary-General Yu is interested, what about the funds, I will come out, Secretary-General Yu just needs to be willing to appreciate his face." ”

"How do you divide the dividends?" Yu Songtao asked.

Lei Gong said: "According to the rules, one person and half." ”

There is such a good thing in the world, Yu Songtao took it seriously: "Okay, it's decided." ”

What kind of person is Bai Jingrui, he naturally understands and says: "Secretary General Yu, Brother Chen is an expert in the business world, if you cooperate with him, you will not lose money." ”

As the saying goes, when a public sees money, it is like a fly seeing blood. Yu Songtao's reaction is normal, but Wang Xiling is very abnormal!

In the past few years, Lei Gong has hooked up with those high-ranking officials and made ill-gotten gains, which has made his nerves relax too much, which is the so-called "getting carried away", and he is completely unaware of this.

You must know that Wang Xiling, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, is his immediate boss as an intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Agency.

……

Wang Xiling was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 1929, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, her family fled to Chongqing to study at Nankai Middle School, which moved from Tianjin to Chongqing. In December 1948, he graduated from the 23rd class of the Central Military Academy. In 1949, he went to Taiwan, and later graduated from the senior class of the Political Work Cadre School, served as a guard officer in the old Chiang Mansion, served as Xiao Chiang's personal bodyguard, and then entered the general class of the three armed forces for further study.

On New Year's Day 1974, Wang Xiling was appointed deputy director of Taiwan's National Security Bureau. At the end of the year, in the capacity of a special commissioner of the National Security Bureau in the United States, he was responsible for Taiwan's intelligence work in the United States.

In October 1983, Wang Xiling returned to Taiwan, and he had already been promoted to lieutenant general, and was appointed by Xiao Chiang as director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Accompanied by Song Changzhi, who was then Minister of National Defense, Chiang Ching-kuo met with Wang Xiling, and in front of Song Changzhi, told Wang Xiling in person: "You will first come back to serve as the 'director of intelligence', and after a while, I will announce you as the 'director of the National Security Bureau'." ”

At the beginning of 1984, the Ministry of National Defense convened a "forum on intelligence work," which was personally chaired by Song Changzhi, and Wang Xiling, in his capacity as director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, also attended the meeting.

At the meeting, such a topic was clearly listed: "Be good at using gang members and engage in intelligence work." ”

Moreover, in terms of actual operation, there is also a specific division of labor, that is, the National Security Bureau is responsible for contacting and using higher-level gangs, such as the "Qing Gang" and "Hongmen," while the Military Intelligence Bureau is responsible for getting acquainted with and using social gangs such as the "Sanlian Gang" and the "Four Seas Gang." As for those local leaders in Taiwan, they cannot enter the eyes of the intelligence units at all.

Wang Xiling, who received the order, had never dealt with any gangs in Taiwan in the past, and he had no friends in this area, so he could draw the strings for him.

When he was worried about how to carry out the orders of his superiors, Bai Jingrui happened to be introduced by Bai Jingrui in the middle, and Wang Xiling and Lei Gong met this time.

In fact, Wang Xiling is quite satisfied with Lei Gong, not as he shows.

The reason why Wang Xiling behaved like this is that as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Wang Xiling is the top boss of Lei Gong, an intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Agency. Lei Gong is not Wang Xiling's confidant, so Wang Xiling will not accept bribes from Lei Gong, so as not to be pampered and arrogant. At the same time, Wang Xiling's cold eyebrows and cold eyes were also to beat Lei Gong's "getting carried away".

As a high-ranking official of the Kuomintang, what Wang Xiling wants is not Lei Gong's money, but Lei Gong's service for himself, so that he can be rewarded for meritorious service and become a knight.

-- The Military Intelligence Bureau is actually the new name of the "military unification" before the defeat of Taiwan after it has been renamed several times, and Wang Xiling is to Xiao Jiang what Dai Lizhi is to Lao Chiang.

……

In fact, since Lei Gong was released from prison, he has been in charge of the Sanlian Gang and has been developing well.

"Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, faith, righteousness and peace, heaven and earth supreme, eternal and evergreen" The names of the sixteen halls undoubtedly reveal Lei Gong's ambitions. He formulated the strategy of "dissolving other forces, strengthening his own strength, and controlling the bottom society", treated other gang leaders with courtesy, turned hostility into friendship, and even did not hesitate to reconcile and coexist with the Four Seas Gang, which had blood feuds, and achieved very good results.

Lei Gong was well aware of the need to use the cloak of "legality" to cover up the mystery of illegal activities, and hired and installed many retired servicemen and intelligence personnel in Taiwan into enterprises and institutions controlled by the Triple Gang, and established a relationship of coexistence, common prosperity, and mutual use with the government and big conglomerates, and also sought a "talisman" for himself.

Not only that, Lei Gong also bloomed old trees, rejuvenated his second spring, and married his second wife Ding Qiong, who was more than 20 years younger than him. In order not to let his wife bear the pressure of being a "stepmother", Lei Gong also sent his son Lei Fuhong to the United States, which shows that Lei Gong is indeed true love for Ding Qiong.

Lei Gong, who has a bumper harvest of love and career, has been carried away by his success.

"Zhou Yi Qian" said: "On the nineth, Kanglong has regrets. Meaning: If the dragon flies too high, it will surely suffer disaster. Those in high positions should guard against arrogance, otherwise they will regret their failures.
