Chapter 100: The Fate of the Chess Piece
Tsim Sha Tsui, Ngee Ann headquarters.
After receiving a phone call, Lin Jing, the chief housekeeper, went to Xiang Yan's room next door, and when he entered the door, he found a map of Hong Kong Island spread out on Xiang Yan's desk, and there were marks drawn with colored pens everywhere.
"Limber, you're just in time, come and sit."
Xiang Yan saw Lin Jing enter the door, pointed to the map and introduced: "I just circled a few locations, how about you take a look." ”
Lin Jing walked to the table, looked at the area circled by the red and blue pen, and was slightly puzzled: "These two colors, is there any meaning?" ”
"Red is the current bustling area of Hong Kong Island, and blue is my estimate of the development to be developed."
Xiang Yan handed over a cigar and introduced: "In recent years, Hong Kong Island has developed rapidly, but most of the clubs are still stuck in showing people, as well as stealing cars, drug trafficking, and controlling astringency-related industries!" I do not deny that these industries can bring benefits to the community, but it is not enough to make a fortune. ”
Lin Jing assisted Xiang Yan for so long, and guessed Xiang Yan's intention in a few words: "Do you want to transform?" ”
"It's not that I want to transform, but all the communities on Hong Kong Island must be transformed, with the rapid development of the economy, there will be more and more channels to make money, in such a diversified era, if we have been taking the old road, it is difficult to have development! Times have changed, and now the struggle between associations is no longer just a matter of fighting and killing, and only with money can you be invincible. ”
Xiang Yan tapped several areas on the map with his hand: "Look at these places yourself, the most prosperous nightclubs in these areas are all covered by our Xinyi'an, more than 200 nightclubs, large and small, can hand over about 1.5 million profits to the head office every month, but I have investigated, if you open a large-scale bar in Tsim Sha Tsui, the profit in a month is more than this amount!" So I'm going to open a bar in the name of the company and then hand it over to the people in the various regions to manage, so that they can benefit and we can also increase the revenue, what do you think? ”
"If it's just to open one or two bars, it's not a big problem, but if you want to promote it in all the territory of the community, I still recommend being cautious."
Lin Jing shook his head slightly: "As you said, it is indeed an era of rapid economic development, but it is also an era of chaos!" Now that Hesheng and the code gang have money, they are recruiting troops and horses, and the cake on Hong Kong Island is only so big, and sooner or later everyone will have conflicts because of these things! If we just watch the scene, even if there is a loss, there is a nightclub owner who pays for it! But if we do our own business, I am afraid that these shops will become the first target after the war. ”
Lin Jing pointed out the problem pointedly: "These places you circled are the most prosperous areas in the city, and opening so many stores at the same time will be an unbearable pressure for our funds, if I am the master of a hostile society, I will definitely hit Xinyi'an through this matter, if the company's economic chain is broken, even if we are not crushed, I am afraid that we will become a second-rate community!" ”
"So I'm also thinking about the feasibility of this."
Xiang Yan turned the pen in his hand and said: "I'm going to do a pilot, so I'll open this shop in Yau Ma Tei and hand it over to Yu Dongqing to take care of!" The current situation in Yau Ma Tei is very chaotic, if he can do this well and then promote it to other sites, so that he can see the results without too much investment, what do you think? ”
Lin Jing smiled dumbly: "I came to you to talk about this matter, Yu Dongqing had an accident!" ”
Xiang Yan put down the pen in his hand: "What trouble did this kid cause again?" ”
"Tonight, Yu Dongqing robbed a few cars from the Watergate Gang, and the other party chose to call the police to deal with it, this case was received by the Saigon Branch, and a superintendent there had a good personal relationship with me, and I heard that the suspect was one of our people, so he talked to me."
"Got a report?"
When Xiang Yan heard this, he showed an expression of disbelief: "Although the Watergate Gang is not a branch of the Hongmen, it is also a fast-rising association on Hong Kong Island, how can these guys' methods of dealing with the affairs of the rivers and lakes be so dirty?" ”
"As you say, times have changed! The people of the Watergate Gang are mercenary and indifferent to the rules of the rivers and lakes, which is also the obvious difference between the new generation of people and us. ”
Lin Jing paused: "My friend in Saigon told me that the batch of cars they robbed tonight were all private cars with procedures. ”
"He's been tricked."
Xiang Yan is an old Jianghu, and he can see the problem at a glance: "Is this matter easy to handle?" ”
"It's difficult."
Lin Jing took a puff of his cigar: "Those guys in the Watergate Gang, the main source of income is to steal cars, although the status of the rivers and lakes is not good, but they can rely on smuggling cars to eat, the relationship between the police has long been opened, this time the Watergate Gang stared at Yu Dongqing, the evidence is very sufficient." ”
Xiang Yan gently tapped the table with his hand: "What does the lawyer say?" ”
He said that according to the current situation, once Yu Dongqing is caught, he will definitely be arrested, but it is not completely impossible to operate, but the premise is that the Watergate Gang is willing to withdraw the case and no longer pursue it. Do you think we need to use some strength to force the Watergate Gang to take a step back? ”
Xiang Yan pondered for a moment and said: "This time, I forced the holly to be planted in Yau Ma Tei, the prince has already shown great dissatisfaction, since I am the leader of the club, I naturally have to have a bowl of water." This trouble was caused by Yu Dongqing herself, not for the community, if we take action, other people will have opinions. ”
Lin Jingwan smiled: "But Yu Dongqing was picked up by you after all, if something goes wrong with him, your face is not good-looking!" ”
"To be the boss, balance is more important than face! If Yu Dongqing wasn't that material, I wouldn't be able to hold him hard, wouldn't I? I can get him on the horse, but it's up to him how far the horse can go. ”
Xiang Yan finally waved his hand: "You notify Yu Dongqing of the Watergate Gang's alarm, and let him handle the rest of the things himself." ”
……
Main island, Clear Water Bay.
After Yu Dongqing and the other four boats came back, he handed the handbag to Lu Zonghao: "There are 100,000 yuan in it, take it and divide it among the brothers, wait for the trailer to come over, you can directly ask them to send the car to the warehouse rented in advance." ”
Lu Zonghao took the handbag and continued to ask: "Since we have already done the matter, I suggest that we go directly to the Watergate Gang to talk, so that it is better to give them a step down, not to count us doing things too much." ”
Yu Dongqing was just about to reply, the eldest brother in his hand rang the bell, he answered the phone and chatted a few words, and was suddenly confused.
