Chapter 852 "850" Progress in New York, USA, and the daily life of "Twin Dragons" and Tarzan
P.S.: Friendly reminder, a large portion of this is about the daily life of those who risk their lives on Tarzan.

----------

In a flash,
Half a month has passed.

It's already February 15th.

Hong Kong Island has entered a busy phase, filled with an atmosphere of going to work and making money.

At this time,
Wanming (Cheng Long) took a plane and returned to Hong Kong Island from the United States, covered in dust.

"Hong Kong Island, I'm back!"

He stepped out of the plane and shouted happily into the air above Hong Kong Island.

For the past six months, he has been working for Jimmy in the United States. First, he adapted to the environment, then he became Jimmy's bodyguard, and then he learned how to do things from Wang Jianjun... He is actually very intelligent, but he doesn't study and likes to fight.

Forced to study and strive for excellence, he immediately displayed the same intelligence and talent as his twin brother, quickly adapted to the pace of New York, and began to help Jimmy with his tasks, handling them in an orderly manner.

now,

His return to Hong Kong Island can be described as the return of the Dragon King!
√！
Forty minutes later, I returned to Central Plaza and reported to Kwan Cho.

Top floor, office

Guan Zu looked at Wanming standing in front of him. Wanming no longer had the reckless gangster vibe he used to have; he was now more composed and reliable.

"boss!"

"We're family, call him Brother Zu!"

"Brother Zu!" Wanming exclaimed happily.

Guan Zu: "How's it going in America?"

Wanming recounted in detail what happened in the United States, which was that Happiness Property Management Company had expanded its territory in New York (already occupying a quarter of New York and covering the entire Chinese community), with more than 3 employees.

The most important of these was the New York City mayoral election in November 1997.

In this election, the most watched candidates are Republican Ruth Giuliani and Democratic New York City Councilwoman Rose Messinger.

Ultimately, with the help of the Happiness Property Corporation, Democrat Ross Messinger won 43% of the vote, defeating Giuliani who received 37%, and became the mayor of New York City.

Subsequently, Happiness Property Management's popularity rose again.

Of course, there were also some covetous forces involved, whose operations were basically the same as those of the tax collector: poaching people, then imitating them one-to-one, and throwing money at them...

Then these forces (more than 10) kept throwing money at ordinary citizens, which reduced the number of homeless people considerably.

But these forces were soon dumbfounded to discover that the homeless people who were fed too much became even lazier, constantly demanding to be fed, and threatening to protest, stage sit-ins, or even vandalize the charity if they weren't fed.

These forces were completely bewildered.

why?

Tell me why?!
I completely don't understand the difference between them and Happiness Property Management. Why is Happiness Property Management thriving and expanding its influence so rapidly, while I, who have spent so much money, not only haven't gotten any benefits, but have also ended up with nothing but trouble?

"Hahaha~~~"

"Not bad……"

After hearing the report about risking his life, Guan Zu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"By the way, do you know that Donald? How is he now?" Guan Zu asked curiously.

"He's been insisting every day that he owns shares in Happiness Property Management..."

"Haha~~~"

……

After finishing his grueling performance review, he went to the nearby Shangri-La Hotel for a long nap.

I slept until 22 p.m.

He started calling his good friend Taishan: "Taishan, I'm back, where are you?"

Then, a scream came from the other end of the phone.

The other side: "Who the hell are you?!"

Wanming paused for a moment, then said, "My name is Wanming. Let my brother go."

"Release your brother? Who do you think you are?" the other party sneered. "You can release him, but bring 100 million to ransom him!"

Wanming frowned: "What did he do wrong?"

The other side: "Gambling, borrowing money, compound interest... Don't worry, in this new era, we're all legal loan sharks!"

Playing with fire immediately caused a splitting headache.

Why did Taishan go gambling?
Why borrow so much?

Desperate: "Tell me, where shall we meet?"

Across the street: "No. 23, Dapubolou Road, my name is Dapu Hei, you can call me Brother Hei..."

"I need to see the money in one hour, or else..."

Well, there's not much we can do. After all, this is a legal society. At most, we can break their legs.

Even gangsters need to know the law!

After hanging up the phone, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He found someone, got 100 million yuan, quickly hailed a taxi, and rushed to No. 23, Dapubolou Road.

The streets of Hong Kong Island remain bustling at night, with neon lights flashing and vehicles flowing endlessly.

But when you're risking your life, you don't have the time to appreciate anything.

He went to the United States and had a very successful and glamorous time.

As a result, his own brother ended up in this situation.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped on Dapubolou Road.

He paid the fare with great recklessness, got out of the car, and looked around.

Then they found number 23.

It's a mahjong gambling den.

There were about a dozen tables inside, and it was bustling with activity, filled with smoke.

"Big big~~~"

"So tiny~~"

"Five barrels!"

"Bullshit!"

"Damn it, why am I so unlucky!"

"Damn it, we lost again!"

Noisy and smoky.

He stormed into the gambling den and approached one of the guards: "Hello, I'm looking for Brother Hei. I'm here to ransom him..."

quickly,

He was taken to the 6th floor.
"So you're just playing dead? Did you bring the money?" Da Pu Hei sized up Play Dead and asked. (From "Blackie's Angels" and "The Bund")

He slammed the box down on the table: "Here's a million. Count it."

One of Daipu Hei's henchmen opened the box and began counting the money.

Daipu Hei calmly pulled a notebook from his pocket, flipping through it as he spoke: "In business, integrity is paramount. This Taishan initially borrowed 50,000, then another 100,000, and then... a series of loans... the interest is... up to exactly 1,003,500 today. Since you've been so generous, I'll waive the 3,500..."

Then Daikou closed the ledger, exuding righteousness: "This is a legal society now, the accounts must be clear!"

He doesn't care about that million; he's handled a lot of money in the US.

He used to be impulsive.

Now, he is composed and calm: "I'm just curious why you lent him money."

Daipu Hei sized up Wanming: "At first we didn't want to lend him the money, but he's such a compulsive gambler. He said a brother of his was recruited by Mr. Guan...you're the one, right?"

Just then, Taishan's voice came from the inner room: "You're from the Five Star Group, recruited by Mr. Guan Zu. Tell them to waive the interest..."

Daikou rolled his eyes.

Do you think we're not familiar with Mr. Guan?

We are very familiar with Mr. Guan.

We've fought against Mr. Guan before!
(Kakuzu: These are all my lines!)
Dapuhei knew Guanzu's rules: you can borrow money without any problem, as long as you don't engage in usury, kill anyone, or intentionally harm anyone, he wouldn't interfere with anything else.

Inside the room, Taishan was still talking.

Wanming's face had turned dark.

If he uses Brother Zu's reputation to resolve this matter, it would be an insult to Brother Zu.

He cupped his hands in apology to Oura Kuro and said, "I'm sorry, it was my brother's fault for causing you trouble. The money is yours, can I take him with me now?"

Daikou smiled and said, "That's fine."

He rushed into the inner room and saw Taishan tied to a chair with several bruises on his face. He went over, untied the ropes, and helped Taishan out.

Taishan muttered his dissatisfaction all the way: "Wanming, how can you be so spineless? You're a member of the Five Star Group now, everyone in Hong Kong has to give you face. Just handing over the money to them like this, how embarrassing."

Wanming ignored Taishan and simply helped him walk out silently. Once outside, they got into the car and drove towards the hotel.

Inside the car, Taishan continued his incessant chatter.

He leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and thought to himself that he would have to give Taishan a good talking-to when he got back, telling him not to keep acting so recklessly, or he didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause in the future.

If this continues, the relationship will really fade.

halfway,

We arrived in Tsim Sha Tsui.

After cursing, Taishan said happily, "Wanming, you're back! Let's celebrate! Let's go get some late-night snacks."

He forced a smile and said, "Okay."

Soon, Wanman drove to the late-night food street in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The street food stalls were already bustling with people. Grilled squid sizzled with oil; fish balls tumbled in the pan; freshly baked egg waffles, stir-fried beef noodles, grilled oysters, beef skewers, grilled eggplant...

We sat down and ordered.

Taishan picked up a bottle of beer and took a sip: "While you were in America, I was so bored in Hong Kong. I didn't know what to do every day. It was so boring."

After saying that, he looked at Wanming curiously, "Tell me quickly, what kind of work did you do in America?"

Wanming slowly began to speak.

Finally, he mentioned running for mayor of New York City, but only briefly.

Taishan immediately looked on with envy: "The mayor of New York City?"

"You're risking your life! You're amazing! Tell me in detail, how did you do it?"

That's so high-class!

He suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself.

They risked their lives without saying a word.

Mentioning it once is fine, but saying it too much is not good.

He asked desperately, "And what about you? What were you doing in Hong Kong while I was gone?"

Taishan's eyes darted around, he scratched his head, and changed the subject: "Well... I've been looking for a job. I've done quite a few jobs, but you know I'm only 1.3 meters tall, where can I find a proper job..."

You can tell at a glance what kind of job it is; they probably don't even work.

He said seriously, "You can't do this anymore. You never used to gamble. How did you get this habit?"

Taishan replied nonchalantly, "We didn't have any money before, so what did we gamble with? Things are different now, because you're here."

"You're not going to ignore me now, are you?"

I stared intently at Mount Tai, but was very disappointed.

This can't go on.

the next day,
He risked his life to go find Guan Zu, wanting to ask him some questions.

However, he waited outside Guan Zu's office for a long time and found that people kept coming to report to Guan Zu.

Although the secretary, Gang Sheng, asked him if he wanted to cut in line, he was too embarrassed to do so.

"Crack~~~"

He slapped himself hard across the face.

How could I be so insensible?

Brother Zu carries too many responsibilities on his shoulders and is so busy. Why should I bother him with such a small matter?

Simply not human.

Then he desperately asked his secretary, Hong Sheng, for advice, and Hong Sheng recommended someone to him—Laughing.

Then, desperately, he went to find Laughing.

Upon hearing this, laughing laughed and said, "Simple, two methods."

Damn, there are masters!
He desperately asked, "Tell me about it."

laughing: "First, Brother Zu once issued a martial arts manhunt order. There was a guy who loved to gamble, so Brother Zu notified everyone in the martial arts world not to let him gamble, and then he couldn't gamble anymore."

That's right, I'm talking about Zhong Tianzheng.

"But it also has its drawbacks. It only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. You are now seen as a reliable support by your brother. Even if he doesn't gamble, he will still cause you trouble in other ways."

He nodded frantically.

That's definitely true.

"What is the second method?"

laughing: "That means letting him gamble, and then not paying him back, so he realizes that you are not his protector. The advantage is that he will change his ways, but the disadvantage is that you will become enemies."

(P.S.: Similar to Uncle Da's experience.)
After thinking hard for a moment, he said, "The second one."

So be it if we become enemies. As long as Taishan can repent and start anew, everything will be a good thing.

laughing: "Okay, I'll handle this, you don't need to worry about it."

……

On the third day,
In a mahjong gambling den in Tsuen Wan, Taishan was slamming a thick wad of Hong Kong dollars onto the gambling table, his face full of smugness.

After being desperately redeemed the day before yesterday, he felt even more strongly that "having a powerful backer makes all the difference," and turned back into gambling.

They borrowed another 30 yuan.

This time, we've found Big D!

Within two days, Taishan had gambled away all 30 yuan.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Big D's henchman, Long Hair, came to collect the debt: "Taishan, it's time to pay us back 30."

Taishan remained completely unperturbed, even smiling with a cigarette in his mouth: "What's the rush? I'll make a call, and the money will be here in no time."

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone: "I'm in Tsuen Wan, I borrowed 30 and lost it all. Can you come over and pay it back for me?"

His tone was full of self-righteousness.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

"Taishan, I'm sorry, I won't pay it back for you."

Taishan was stunned: "Huh? Are you kidding me? It's only 30, you're really short of that kind of money?"

"The previous million is a waste." Wanming's voice was completely flat. "Taishan, I don't want to be your brother anymore. You'd better watch yourself."

The call was disconnected as soon as he finished speaking.

"Hello? Hello! You bastard! What the hell do you mean?!" Taishan shouted into the phone, but all he heard was a busy signal.

He stood there stunned, then flew into a rage and slammed his phone to the ground.

"You ungrateful bastard! We've been friends since we were kids, and now that you're on good terms with Guan Zu, you're treating me like trash? You heartless ingrate! You ungrateful wretch!"

Longhair grabbed his collar: "Damn it, stop howling here! Your brother said he won't help you pay it back, you'd better figure it out yourself! If you don't pay back the money within 3 days, we'll do what we say!"

Over the next few days, Taishan made dozens of calls to Wanming, but couldn't get through.

He even went to Central Plaza looking for trouble, but was stopped at the door by the security guards downstairs.

Longhair sneered at Taishan: "Don't dream! We already asked, and your brother Wanming has already said that you have nothing to do with him and he won't interfere in your affairs anymore..."

"impossible!"

"No!"

"I'll risk my life, you ungrateful wretch..."

Mount Tai roars.

……

In March, I risked my life to board a plane and head to the United States.

At this time,
Soros is once again bringing speculative capital to attack Hong Kong Island, but these are all small-scale probes aimed at depleting the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's dollar reserves.

At this time, Guan Zu arranged for more than 3 people to exchange Hong Kong dollars for US dollars, creating the illusion that the US dollar reserves were being rapidly depleted.

Guan Zu has repeated this operation four times.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority had more than 80 billion US dollars in US dollar reserves, which ended up in the accounts of hundreds of thousands of citizens arranged by Kwan Cho.

There are a lot of moles inside the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, so the data naturally couldn't be hidden from Soros.
