Chapter 30: Shar Pei
Jiang Tiannan's office.
Jiang Tiannan said to Liangkun with a smile: "As soon as you Liangkun got off the field, you leveraged the original ironclad Heliansheng, which made Tan Cheng's backyard catch fire suddenly, sharp!" β
Liangkun said: "Tan Cheng is engaged in counterfeit banknotes again, and Miss Bai is engaged in it, he is already a big man, and there are many people who are angry with him, I just took out his weakness and let everyone see it." β
Jiang Tiannan said: "Modest words, it's actually quite boring to say too much, you are indeed a first-class talent in the entire Hongxing, and you will definitely have a share of the people who can carry the banner in Hongxing in the future." However, the misunderstanding between us was too deep. I've been trying to solve this problem, but I can't find a way to solve it. β
Liangkun said: "Hong Xing is 'father to son, family in the world', Brother Nan, no one can shake your position as the leader." However, isn't there one thing that the old dragon head once did, and it was solved very well? β
Jiang Tiannan thought for a while and said, "It's a big matter, I want to think about it." In addition, Aberdeen's Sha Pei, the speaker of the Dongying Society, I don't know if I drank too much, or if I was too high, and I made a lot of nonsense, saying that 'there is Lei Gong in the sky, and there is Lao Dong on the ground (referring to the Dongying Society), punching Hong Xing, kicking Dongxing, elbowing and Liansheng, knee hitting and Yisheng, hand explosion and Hongtu', which made me very unhappy. Back then, when he was a 'rent collector' for Lei Luo, no one dared to refute this - because it was true! Now, hmph, there is only such a piece of land left in Aberdeen, and I still don't know each other! When I accepted Han Bin last year, I wanted to use him as a stepping stone to make Han Bin famous, who knew that you sent Song Zihao back, which made Han Bin very busy and had no time to pay attention to him. This year, you clean him up for me and let him know how good our Hong Xingzai is! β
β¦β¦
In a safe house.
Superintendent Cao scolded Liangkun: "Are you crazy? I asked you to enter Hongxing, so that you could collect intelligence, not to let you start a new stove and create a new 'Chaolianyi', 'Chaoguang Society' or 'Zhongqing Society'! β
Liangkun said: "What can I do? He's torn his face with me now. β
Superintendent Cao said categorically: "Then kill him!" β
Liang Kun said: "He is the head of 4899, I am the 426 red stick, and I can't stay in Hongxing, and I may not even be able to stay in Hong Kong." β
Superintendent Cao said: "Then announce the murder of his own boss Jiang Tianwen, and you can be regarded as a meritorious service to Hong Xing." β
Liang Kun said: "Listen to this, you already have important evidence for this matter?" β
Superintendent Cao said, "Of course! I'm not going to let you go on unwarranted adventures. β
Liangkun said: "Then you have to find an opportunity, you also know that he killed his own pro-boss to take the position, and the usual security is very cautious." β
Superintendent Cao said: "I didn't tell you to do it now, of course you have to find an opportunity." β
β¦β¦
The Aberdeen Fish Market is the largest wholesale seafood market in Hong Kong, and the fish and shrimp are sold in cement ponds, and the ground is covered with water that does not reach the surface of the feet.
Liangkun took sandpaper, Jupiter, coffee, duck boys, and a newly acquired little brother through the busy and bustling crowd to a fish stall.
Liangkun's target, Shapi, is playing poker with a few younger brothers at the fish stall - it's really playing poker, and it's still playing hoeing the earth.
Born in 1940, Shar Pei is still a strong middle-aged man, but his mental head has entered old age, and he stares at the cards in his hand with a tired face.
Who would have thought that ten years ago, the man in front of him would be so high-spirited?
Sha Pei's parents are from the rivers and lakes who run gambling stalls, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has a little experience in fishing for the wrong people, and he is like a fish in water in dealing with people and dealing with interpersonal relationships. By chance, he met Lei Luo, a celebrity in the police circle at the time, Inspector General China, and was appreciated by Lei Luo, and became Lei Luo's royal rent collector, and together with his brother "Lard Boy" and younger brother "Yang Badong", he became Lei Luo's "troika". - Shapi is twenty years younger than Relo, and is Relo's nephew; Lard Boy did know Lei Luo in Weimo, but it couldn't be the same friend as Xiaoxiao, the age gap was too big.
In the "corruption system" founded by Lei Luo, Sha Pei was the "underground finance minister" of Hong Kong and Kowloon at that time, collecting "protection fees" from local businesses in Hong Kong and Kowloon every month, and distributing generous red envelopes to the Sils.
The rich and powerful Sha Pei, who was dominant in Yau Tsim Mong at that time, set up a club called "Tung Ying Society", and served as his own talker, and set up a place in the famous Chungking Mansion on Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. When the bigwigs on the rivers and lakes saw it, they had to accompany the laughter, hand out cigarettes and toast, shouting "Brother Shape", and there was a saying in the rivers and lakes "Lei Luo is here, Sha Pei is big". Shar Pei doesn't have to pay for all kinds of fields, and no one dares to do anything with him on the rivers and lakes.
After the establishment of the ICAC, Relo left, and Shar Pei and his brother Lard were arrested for being Relo's "white gloves".
Fortunately, Lard Boy took all the charges alone, and Shar Pei was able to get out of the shell of the golden cicada.
Walking out of ICAC's detention cell, Shar Pei found that the whole world had changed seemingly overnight, and his territory had been carved up, leaving only the deepest roots, the Aberdeen Pier and the adjacent Aberdeen Fish Market. In the most beautiful era of Sha Pei, the major wharves were the most lucrative areas for oil and water, and smuggling and trafficking tobacco and soil were the most profitable businesses.
Shapi also thought about working hard, and he set his sights on the Lianyi Hall in the "New Big Four" (one-ear association), hoping to keep warm for the sake of the same "Dongguan Gang". As a result, Liu Darong, the high-spirited second-generation speaker of Lianyitang, "Brother Da Rong", decisively refused.
Since then, Shar Pei has completely laid down, and in a couplet, it is "smoking a cigarette, looking at the sky, and living one day at a time; Drinking wine, looking at the ground, can spit out a place."
β¦β¦
Why is Liu Darong so high-spirited, that he can't even look down on Shar Pei and his Dongying Society?
This has to start with the Eastern Star Camel.
Dongxing Camel, whose real name is Luo Bingrun. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and has learned "Tan Family Three Hands (belonging to the branch of Lao Hongquan)" and Western boxing. Before he was a minor, he graduated from the police academy and began to work as a police officer, but at first he was a prison guard (Liu Kee), and later he became a plainclothes CID. As a representative of Hong Kong, he participated in the World Police Fighting Championship and won the championship. Later, because of an affair with underworld figures, he was dismissed from his post and simply joined Dongxing.
The camel used to be the personal bodyguard of the "Chaozhou porridge" Zhou Jisheng - this kind of cross-community cooperation is not uncommon, and Zhou Jisheng just paid the camel to do things. However, the camel is also worthy of the money Zhou Jisheng spent, and it is not once or twice to help Zhou Jisheng block the knife.
Camel's fame, not only in the ring.
In that year, He Xin won the right to operate casinos in Macau, and the unsuccessful former gambling king Fu Lao Yan of Macau released his words - "Let He Xin not get out of Macau."
Although He Xin's bodyguard captain "Brother Da Ju" Liu He relied on his own Jianghu power to ensure He Xin's safety and returned to Hong Kong, how to go to Macau to open a casino? Liu He was also helpless.
He Xin didn't blame Liu He, after all, he encircled Liu He and appointed Liu He as the captain of the bodyguard, not because Liu He could fight, but because Liu He was the nephew of Liu Fu, the first Chinese chief inspector in Hong Kong.
Liu Fu is the most senior inspector of Xiangjiang, Lei Luo has been his subordinate, and Han Sen is even more single-handedly picked up by him.
Liu Fu is a native of Dongguan, and is also considered to be the behind-the-scenes helmsman of the "Dongguan Gang" (Dongzi, of which the Dongying Society is only a branch) in Hong Kong. - Dongxing is not the Dongguan Gang, when he first arrived in Hong Kong, he called such a name in order to take advantage of the situation.
In order to completely control the Dongguan Gang, Liu Fu threw the Dongsheng Society's speaker "Fat Guy Zhu" into prison, and let Liu He, who had just graduated from middle school, parachute into the Dongsheng Society and served as the speaker.
Liu He was born in Hong Kong, and his father grew up and studied in Macau when his father did business in Macau.
Liu He looks quite Sven, but under this Sven's appearance, there is an unruly heart hidden. In school, at first it was just fighting, but then he became addicted to gambling, and he mixed in the gambling stalls all the year round, and in the gambling stalls, his favorite game was Pai Gow. After graduation, Liu He was not interested in decent jobs in banks and lawyers, and even sneered at the iron bowl public office of the Hong Kong government and Portuguese and Macao institutions.
I didn't expect Liu He to go to Dongsheng Club like a fish in water, because he was young and righteous, good at winning people's hearts, acting thunderous and resolute, and soon took care of the messy Dongsheng Society in an orderly manner, and he was very comfortable at the dock.
In 1950, when the Korean War broke out and there was a shortage of related materials in the mainland, he found the shipping giant Guo Yingnan. Out of patriotic enthusiasm, Guo Yingnan took over the business in one bite. From this time on, Liu He began to do things for Guo Yingnan. He Xin and Guo Yingnan are good friends, so they met Liu He.
Flies attach to their tails and travel thousands of miles.
Attached to the tail of the Maxima, flies can also run with the Maxima to distant places.
Standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly.
As Guo Yingnan and He Xin's business became bigger and bigger, the power of Liu He and Dongsheng Society was also getting bigger and bigger, and it had gone beyond the concept of "Dongguan Gang", so Liu He changed the name of the club to "Lianyitang" and took the meaning of "United Yishi".
In Hong Kong, you almost have to go through the wharf to do business, and with the location of the wharf, it is difficult not to make a fortune. Although Lian Yi Tong was not the richest association in Hong Kong at that time, Liu He was the richest association in Hong Kong at that time. The "four families of Miss Bai" all have to have a relationship with Liu Hepan, the loyal and righteous Lian Haolong and Lian Haodong can only be regarded as Liu He's descendants, Chaozhou porridge Zhou Jisheng, lame hao Wu Shihao's uncle and nephew are all very close to Liu He.
Liu He has a sworn brother named Nie Renwang, who is also the number of Lianyi Hall. And Nie Renwang has a cousin named Nie Aotian, Nie Aotian's nickname is "The King of Gambling", and he is the technical director of Fu Laoyan, the former gambling king in Macau.
Nie Aotian is arrogant, refuses to be subservient, is not satisfied with just being a high-paid worker, but wants to become a partner of the casino, this idea of seeking skin with the tiger was of course attacked by the casino owner Fu Laoyan. Nie Aotian vowed to take away the gambling cards from Fu Laoyan's hands and let Fu Laoyan's casino close down.
Fu Laoyan has been in charge of Macau casinos for more than 20 years, with deep roots; And Nie Aotian is just a professional gambler. Therefore, Nie Aotian won two consecutive medals and ended in failure.
After repeated defeats, Nie Aotian found that the problem was not in gambling skills and management, but in the lack of a powerful partner.
In 1929, the Hungarian writer F. F. Karinthy makes the "small-world phenomenon" thesis. He believes that any two people on the planet can be connected by an average of 5 contacts. We generally refer to this as the "Six Degrees of Separation".
Through the chain of "Nie Aotian - Nie Renwang - Liu He - Guo Yingnan - He Xin", Nie Aotian met He Xin, and the two hit it off and decided to form a consortium to bid for Macau gambling licenses.
And before Nie Aotian sharpened his knife and Huo Huo was ready to bid for the gambling card for the third time, in 1960, the 66-year-old Fu Lao went west.
In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Huang Shang was killed by Mingjiao and his parents, wives and children. In order to take revenge, Huang Sheng hid alone in the mountains and studied martial arts for more than 40 years. When he finally figured out a way to crack the enemy's martial arts, those enemies were gone one by one, they were all dead, and the only one who was still alive was already sick and broken, lying on the bed just panting, and he didn't need to do anything, and she would die herself in a few days.
The deep hatred that had accumulated in his heart for decades suddenly disappeared without a trace, and whether Nie Aotian had the kind of relief that Huang Shang had, others did not know.
However, it is certain that the "family business" that has been in control for 20 years was once taken away by a rival in love, and Fu Jiajun, the son of Fu Laoyan, was unwilling.
- He Xin and Fu Jiajun are college classmates, although He Xin's ex-girlfriend and rich daughter Vivian is married to Fu Jiajun, who is a well-connected family, she still cares about the handsome and dashing He Xin.
Liu He finally returned to Hong Kong safely after He Xin, who won the gambling license, but it was too difficult for Brother Daju to keep He Xin to open a casino in Macau!
There is a way to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others.
In desperation, Liu He begged for the head of Long Jianfei, the person who talked about Dongxing Mei's words.
- Because Eastern Star is not only a large number of people in Hong Kong, but also has many members in Macau.
Feeling that there was an opportunity to meddle in the gambling industry in Macau, Long Jianfei immediately sent five of his protΓ©gΓ©s to escort Stanley Ho back to Macau, led by camels.
Macao has always been known as the "land of nine antis", when He Xin and Guo Yingnan opened an oil refinery in Macao, in broad daylight someone threw six home-made grenades into it, fortunately, only two were blown up, otherwise the kerosene in the warehouse could blow up half of the street to the sky. The ferocity of the Jianghu people in Macao can be seen. In this case, the camel can protect He Xin's thoughtfulness, not only relying on the 14K gold signboard of Dongxing.
After the battle of Macao, the camel became famous, and together with the other four people, it was called the "Dongxing Five Tiger Generals", which was the first generation of "Dongxing Five Tigers".
Since then, camels have taken advantage of the general trend to expand their territory in Tsim Sha Tsui, laying down the area from Campari Road, Nathan Road to Haiphong Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, especially Campari Road was beaten by him into "all colors" and was called "Camel Street".
The camel is high-spirited and cool!
Liu He felt exhausted, and felt that it was too exhausting to continue to mix, so he handed over Lianyitang to his newly adult son Liu Darong, and retired to the gambling table by himself, gambling every day in the dark.
Liu Darong is tall and talented. Before he took over the baton from Lianyitang, he was already a movie star. debuted at the age of 17, with the title of "Student Prince", and has countless fans. With the blessing of the identity of the community speaker, he is even more blind, and of course he can't look down on Shar Pei, a dwarf mule who is about to be unable to mix.
As for the friendship of the same "Dongguan Gang", as early as when the "Dongsheng Society" was renamed "Lianyitang", wasn't it already gone?
β¦β¦
Liangkun pulled out the newspaper wrapped in the beef knife and shouted: "Shapi! β
Shar Pei raised his eyes and knew that Liangkun was not good, so he threw down the poker in his hand, got up and ran to the back door of the fish stall.
Brush! Brush!
Liangkun cut down the two younger brothers of the Toeisha who were blocking the way with two knives and chased Sha Pei.
Shar Pei ran out of the back door of the fish stall and turned around to close the telescopic fence door.
Liangkun slashed down with a knife and cut off three fingers of Sha's left hand.
Shar Pei fell to the ground, holding his injured left hand in his right hand, and cried out, "Someone's coming! Someone beheaded me, and the brothers of Toeisha came to help! β
Hearing Sha's call, the bosses and men of the various stalls in the fish market all left what they were doing, carried weapons, and surrounded them.
Liangkun grabbed Shapi's collar, picked Shapi up from the ground, put the beef knife in his hand on Shapi's neck, and watched vigilantly at the fish sellers who came over at both ends.
Sandpaper, Jupiter, coffee, duck boy and others also rushed over, leaning their backs against Liangkun's back to avoid being attacked on their backs.
Liangkun shouted: "Whoever dares to come over, I will cut Shapi's neck!" β
The beef knife in Liangkun's hand kept exerting force, and Shapi's neck had been cut and began to bleed.
The fish sellers didn't dare to approach, for fear that Liangkun would really cut Shapi's neck.
Liangkun said loudly: "I'm Hongxing Liangkun, our leader just wants to talk to Brother Shapi, and it won't harm his life." Now, please get out of the way! β
The fish sellers didn't dare to approach, but they wouldn't just let Liangkun leave with Sha Pei, and they were still surrounded by water.
Liangkun said to Shapi: "Brother Shapi, if you don't speak again, I'm afraid you will bleed too much and die." I heard that when you divorced a few years ago, you gave 8 million in alimony to your ex-wife and 25,000 a month for your seven children. Not to mention the Sweet Lake real estate project you invested in Nanbin City, which is also tens of millions of dollars. You have such a rich net worth, if you die like this, it's too worthwhile! I don't know who will be cheaper! You say, don't you? β
Hearing the astronomical figures of "eight million", "twenty-five thousand per month", and "tens of millions of dollars", the fish sellers are not calm before Shar Pei, knowing that the average house price in Hong Kong in 1984 was only about 600 Hong Kong dollars per square meter (that is, square feet, about 0.1 square meters). The boss has a rich net worth and assets of over 100 million, but as the younger brother, he is full of fishy smell every day, once it is revealed, of course, people's hearts are floating.
Sha Pei also heard the discussion of the younger brothers, and immediately made a decision, and said loudly: "Brother of Dongying Society, you get out of the way, I want to go to see Hongxing Longtou!" β
