Lu Zonghao heard that there were riots in many neighborhoods in Yau Ma Tei, and frowned slightly: "This is someone forcing us to make a move, they want to make Yau Ma Tei mess up before the Holly trial, and put pressure on us in this way!" ”

"Big brother, how should we deal with this matter?"

Faced with this situation, Tianbao had no idea: "Due to the troubles of those people this morning, we have not collected a penny of protection money, and many people are seriously injured and are in the hospital for first aid!" ”

Lu Zonghao thought for a while: "Let's put the matter of protection fees aside, you immediately gather a group of people and disperse them in various blocks to ensure that those people will not come to make trouble again!" In addition, inform those shops that have been smashed that their losses will be borne by the cousin! ”

Hong Guoju saw that Lu Zonghao was not ready to fight back, and his eyes widened: "Big brother, if we don't charge protection money, what money will we hand over to the company?" After we took over Yau Ma Tei, our accounts were already stretched, and increasing the manpower on each street meant that we had to pay them a head fee, which was not a small amount! ”

"If we choose to go to war, we will face more difficulties and invest more resources.

Lu Zonghao paused for a moment and asked Tianbao, "How many neighborhoods are there that we haven't been affected at the moment?" ”

Tempo responded: "So far, I haven't received a call from Dijie and Baoling Street. ”

Lu Zonghao picked up the phone and waved his hand: "You two will each bring a group of brothers to support these two blocks, first collect the protection fees of these two streets, use them as activity funds, hand over the company's money, and I will negotiate with the community." ”

……

Ground Street Fruit Market.

Every day in the morning, the merchants in the fruit bar are busy all night, and they have already gone home to rest at this time, but today is particularly lively.

Chen Qiang's shop next door to Brother Zhang has changed its layout, with blackout curtains hanging on the doors and windows, and two areas separated by screens inside, playing dice on one side and pai gow on the other.

Brother Zhang has been mixed in the fruit bar for more than ten years, and the merchants have long been together, and after partnering with Chen Qiang to get this casino, he called the stall owners who like to gamble in the casino to his side on the same day, in order to gather popularity, and also released the word, the casino did not have any pumping in the first three days.

Originally, the business of Guolan was run by other ruffians, and the other party heard that Lao Zhang and Chen Qiang were robbing business, and they gathered more than a dozen people to make trouble that day, but they saw Ajie and others gathering outside Chen Qiang's store to smoke from a distance, and then heard that this casino was covered by Lu Zonghao, and left without letting go of the fart.

At this moment, Brother Zhang's shop was full of people, and Chen Qiang was sitting on a bench in front of the store smoking.

He originally thought that he would be very resistant to this industry, but when he sat in this position and found that he could make money without any manual labor, he suddenly felt that it was a very stupid behavior to get up early and sell fruit every day.

Just as Chen Qiang sighed, Brother Zhang walked out of the smoky shop, sat next to Chen Qiang, and handed over a stack of banknotes: "This is 20,000 yuan, you count." ”

Chen Qiang saw the money in Brother Zhang's hand and was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Your dividend today."

Brother Zhang stuffed the money into Chen Qiang's hand and said with a smile: "Now the money we make in one day is enough for you to work hard for more than half a month, right?" I said a long time ago, with me, you will definitely get rich! ”

Chen Qiang pinched a thick stack of banknotes and asked suspiciously, "Didn't we pump today?" How can there be income? ”

"Put usurious interest, we have nine out of thirteen here, and the people inside borrow 10,000 yuan, but they can only take 9,000, but they have to give 13,000 in exchange! If you don't pay it on the same day, then continue to increase the interest at 3,000 yuan a day. ”

Brother Zhang smiled and lit a cigarette: "We don't smoke here for three days, and gamblers want to take advantage of this opportunity to win a big one, so the bets are fierce, and there are naturally many people who borrow money." ”

When Chen Qiang heard Brother Zhang's response, his face became a little ugly: "When we talked about cooperation before, you didn't tell me that there was still a loan here!" ”

Brother Zhang responded as a matter of course: "What the casino does is bundle sales, if the guest loses his money, but we don't lend him the money to turn over the book, who will patronize our business in the future?" ”

Brother Zhang responded as a matter of course: "What the casino does is bundle sales, if the guest loses his money, but we don't lend him the money to turn over the book, who will patronize our business in the future?" ”

Chen Qiang didn't know how to refute: "Aren't you afraid that this money will be lent out, or you won't come back?" ”

"Haha, the guests here are all well-known, and I know their ability to repay well, and I won't borrow money indiscriminately."

Brother Zhang continued: "In order to support this business, I have mortgaged my house, shop, and car to the bank, Ah Qiang, we are partners, don't make it difficult for me!" ”

Chen Qiang heard Brother Zhang's response and got up without saying a word.

"Ah Qiang!"

Brother Zhang mistakenly thought that Chen Qiang was going to the room to talk about usury, so he grabbed his wrist and said seriously: "This business is not my own, you ruined it and smashed everyone's jobs." ”

"I'm going to give the money to Applejack and they'll split it."

Chen Qiang waved the cash in his hand: "Since you want to lend usury, you have to be involved in debt collection, right?" Those who owe money are so familiar with us, do you think it is appropriate for you and me to come forward when they owe money and don't pay it back? ”

When Brother Zhang heard Chen Qiang's response, his lips moved, and he was speechless, as if he didn't expect Chen Qiang to be able to open his mind so quickly.

Chen Qiang smiled and patted Brother Zhang's shoulder, and then walked to Ajie who was basking in the sun opposite with cash.

Applejack threw away the ice cream stick in her hand and stood up, "Brother Qiang, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Qiang handed over the more than 20,000 yuan in cash in his hand: "You and your brothers are here to protect me, everyone has worked hard, there is some money here, you can buy a few packs of cigarettes to smoke." ”

"Brother Qiang, I can't take your money!"

"I'm not from the Society, but you are sending the Society's salary to protect me, and I'm already grateful! This money is my personal heart, you must keep it! ”

"I'm not from the Society, but you are receiving the Society's salary to protect me, and I'm already grateful! This money is my personal heart, you must keep it! ”

Chen Qiang couldn't help but stuff the money into Applejack's hand: "From today onwards, I will get some expenses for my brothers every day in the future." ”

Applejack took Chen Qiang's money and was about to say something when she suddenly heard the roar of the engine, saw several vans parked in the distance, and a group of old boys carrying knives and sticks, and was stunned.
