Chapter 0273 - Unless ......
"Brother Qing, what do you think?"
At the same time, in the Yuen Long base, Li Jiayuan also asked Lu Qing the same question.
Although when he first joined the Green Gang, he chose to join because Lu Qing said that the Green Gang was not contaminated with pornography, gambling and drugs.
But after Lu Qing reached the level of "diehard", he only looked forward to Lu Qing, not to mention that Lu Qing wanted to operate pornography, gambling and drugs, even if he was personally responsible, he had nothing to say.
Therefore, it is very incomprehensible that Lu Qing actually chose to give up even the most basic protection fee of the association.
"My idea is very simple, I want to win the hearts and minds of the people."
Lu Qing replied casually while drinking tea.
"Win the hearts of the people?"
Li Jiayuan is still a little puzzled: "We are an association, what's the use of winning the hearts of the people?"
Gangsters do things that oppress the people, and winning the hearts of the people is something that politicians will only consider.
"If you don't win the hearts of the people, how can you be the godfather of Hong Kong Island?"
Lu Qing smiled and said something that made Li Jiayuan tremble.
"What?!"
Li Jiayuan's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Qing in shock.
The Godfather of Hong Kong Island?
Brother Qing wants to be the godfather of Hong Kong Island?
He only felt that his scalp was numb, a layer of goosebumps appeared on the surface of his skin, and his whole breathing seemed to be stagnant.
The godfather of Hong Kong Island, he didn't even think about it when he was dreaming!
Because it's so hard!
In Li Jiayuan's view, it is impossible for anyone in the world to unify the black forces on the entire Hong Kong Island.
Not only because these forces are intricate and full of entanglement of interests, but also because Hong Kong Island is under the rule of the Obiki Empire, they will not allow a person who can unify the underworld to appear!
After all, a chaotic Hong Kong Island is the Hong Kong Island they want.
But now, Lu Qing actually said that he wanted to be the godfather of Hong Kong Island, how could this not surprise Li Jiayuan?
"Why, don't you believe me?"
Lu Qing asked with a smile.
"Of course I believe in Brother Qing, but ...... Even if you want to be the godfather of Hong Kong Island, it has nothing to do with the merchants, right?"
Li Jiayuan was still puzzled.
"Then it's a big deal."
Lu Qing asked, "Zhanmi, what do you think is the relationship between our gang and the common people?"
Li Jiayuan thought for a while and said, "It should be the oppressive relationship, we belong to the bad people who squeeze oil and water from the common people."
In addition to collecting protection money, members of the association will also lend usury, tempt people to gamble, and force people to become prostitutes...... It can be said that all the bad things are done, and the good things are not done at all.
"Haha, you're blunt."
Lu Qing pointed at Li Jiayuan and smiled, and then asked, "Then do you think that if our Qing Gang and other gangs start a war, who will the common people help?"
"Huh?"
Li Jiayuan was stunned: "Of course they are not compatible...... Huh?"
He paused suddenly.
Because he suddenly realized that the Green Gang was different from other gangs-
The Green Gang is not contaminated with pornography, gambling and drugs, and does not charge protection money!
Once such a green gang and other gangs fight, the people will definitely stand on Lu Qing's side!
To put it simply, under the rule of the Green Gang, they will not encounter the vicious incidents mentioned above, such as collecting protection fees, borrowing usury, forcing good people to become prostitutes, and attracting fans.
Everyone wants to live in a peaceful and beautiful social environment, not a chaotic and bad environment.
If other gangs want to encroach on the territory occupied by the Green Gang, then they will face the wrath of not only the members of the Green Gang, but also all the ordinary people under their control.
The vast sea of the people's war!
Somehow, such a sentence came to Li Jiayuan's mind.
Thinking that the Youth Gang might be supported by the people under his jurisdiction in the future, Li Jiayuan only felt that his waist was much straighter.
If you can choose to be a good person, there is
Who would choose to be a bad guy?
"Brother Qing, I think I understand what you mean."
Li Jiayuan said with some excitement: "The relationship between our Youth Gang and the common people is completely different from other gangs, not only can we not oppress the ordinary people in our sphere of influence, but we even have to provide them with protection!"
"It's not just protection, it's convenience and help."
Lu Qing said with a smile: "You also know how efficient our Hong Kong Island government is, do you think that if we tell those who have paid the club dues that as long as they pass through us, they can handle business faster and better, will they rely on and trust us more?"
Anyway, with unlimited financial support, it is not difficult for him to help the people do something.
Li Jiayuan's eyes widened: "We still have to take the initiative to help people? Brother Qing, let's ...... Is this still a community?"
Is there a community in the world that helps people to enjoy?
"Why not?"
Lu Qing asked rhetorically, "You must know that a hundred years ago, the purpose of the establishment of the club was to unite and help yourself!"
"Uh......"
Li Jiayuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Now that you know, how to talk to those shopkeepers, right?"
Lu Qing asked.
"yes, I see."
Li Jiayuan nodded vigorously.
"By the way, as well as our official members, we must tell them the purpose of our Youth Gang, and we will have to assess it every once in a while, and at the same time, we will also tell the people of Kangle Road, if any of our Youth Gang members make a move to bully the people, they will all be dealt with by family law!"
The next day.
The people on Kangle Road found that there were many more members of the Green Gang wearing suits and looking a little fierce but polite on the street.
"Are these the members of the Green Gang who defeated the Sand River Gang?"
"Why does it look a little different from the previous gang?"
"Hmm...... These lads are strong, but ...... Isn't their expression a little too friendly?"
"yes, yes, just now, a young man asked me if I wanted to help?"
"It's pretended, maybe it's to gain our trust first, and then ......."
"What? Please, figure it out, they're gangsters, and if they want to get you to do something, they can't just grab it, isn't it a waste of time to act here?"
"There's some truth to what you say...... But I still don't believe that people in the community can be good people!"
"I don't really believe that my next-door neighbor's cousin was hacked to death on the street because he participated in a gang fight, and his body couldn't be sewn together, which was very miserable."
"But now I can't understand these young gang behaviors."
"Well, I can't read ...... either."
"They're not weird boys, they're just like community service workers."
"Forget it, no matter what he is, anyway, as long as it takes a long time, whether it's pretending to be or it's real, everyone can tell it."
"Yes, ride a donkey and look at the ledger, and we'll see."
Compared with the suspicion of ordinary people, the reaction of the shop owner is much more direct-
Because the Green Gang does not charge protection fees, their income this month has directly increased to the naked eye.
You must know that before, the Shahe Gang drew about 10%~30% of the profit every month.
At this time, it was replaced by the Green Gang, which did not charge protection fees, and every shop owner had a smile on his face, and his heart was full of good feelings for the Green Gang.
In addition to these ordinary people, there are also a group of people who are also confused by Lu Qing's actions.
Uncle Hong Tae-mei's luxurious villa.
"You're saying that instead of being involved in pornography, gambling and drugs, the Green Gang has even canceled its protection fees?"
Uncle Mei seemed to be listening to the Arabian Nights: "In this way, how can they keep the gang running normally? If that's the case, what kind of club are they called, just change the name to a welfare organization!"
Hongtai's other bigwigs were also puzzled.
The fat uncle speculated: "Could it be that the Shahe Gang has been pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, but in fact, they make a lot of profits every month, and the Green Gang can maintain normal gang operation by only collecting their entry fees?"
"Impossible, I understand Sha's business, he earns 6 or 700,000 yuan a month, after all, the risk of smuggling is not small."
Someone was quick to retort.
"But how can Lu Qing's current behavior be explained?"
"yes, isn't that the same as losing money by doing this?"
"Open the club as a public welfare organization, unless his money is blown by the wind!"
Listening to everyone's messy discussions, Uncle Mei couldn't help but slap the table.
"Alright, don't talk about it!"
In the end, Uncle Mei said, "No matter what kind of medicine Lu Qing sells in the gourd, in short, we must be strictly defensive during this time, and we will not allow the Qing Gang to expand its power to our side."
"Also,"
Uncle Mei's eyes flashed with a flash of light: "Didn't he Qinggang say that he would not be contaminated with pornography, gambling and drugs, and that he would give these businesses to others, and send someone to secretly go to his territory to scatter some powder."
"High, really high!"
Hearing Uncle Mei's idea, everyone stretched out their thumbs and smiled proudly:
"Let's secretly send two people over, can he still detect it?"
"Unless the whole street is his people."
