Seeing this, the little ghost immediately stepped forward and respectfully lit the fire for Chu Tian.
After lighting the cigarette, Chu Tian took a deep drag before exhaling a cloud of smoke and saying:
"First, you have to be willing to spend money to recruit some strong and capable henchmen; that's the foundation."
Secondly, you have to be willing to spend money to train your strong and capable underlings and teach them combat skills. This is the fundamental reason why my underlings are stronger than the average short mule.
Third, you still need to be willing to spend money so they have no worries. Like I promised my underlings, after every fight, all medical expenses will be covered, and those who die in battle will receive a settlement allowance of 300,000. This way, my men will have no worries and will fight recklessly when necessary.
As the saying goes, the stubborn fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the reckless. Don't you understand?
After speaking, Chu Tian glanced at the two of them with a half-smile.
The crow and the smiling tiger's faces instantly darkened.
Because they seem unable to meet any of these three requirements.
First, let's talk about spending money to recruit those strong and capable henchmen.
Let's not even talk about spending money to recruit underlings.
Because normally, if any underlings want to become their disciples, they have to pay them money.
Therefore, their subordinates were a mixed bag, with absolutely no quality among them.
Some people even just wanted to join Tung Sing, using their names to do business and avoid being bullied – that's all, "340".
It's completely impossible for someone like Chu Tian to recruit people and even spend money on it.
As for the second point...
Let's not even talk about letting their underlings train.
Even he, the smiling tiger, and the crow, don't exercise every day.
He even took his underlings to bars every day to drink, sing, and play pool.
Not to mention, they even paid for their underlings to train.
To them, this was simply a fantasy.
The third point Chu Tian mentioned was even more outrageous.
A settling-in allowance of 300,000?
In their eyes, how could a dead person possibly be worth 300,000?
Offering 30,000 would be considered quite good.
Sometimes, they don't even give any resettlement allowance.
Thinking of this, Smiling Tiger and Crow exchanged a shocked glance, finally understanding why Chu Tian's underlings were all so formidable.
If they were willing to spend the money, they could definitely create just as many powerful henchmen.
But in their view, it was completely not worth it.
I only feel at ease when the money is in my own pocket.
If they spend the money on their underlings, what if they betray them later? Wouldn't they be furious?
Thinking of this, the way the two looked at Chu Tian changed again, as if they were looking at a sucker.
Chu Tian immediately saw through their thoughts. After taking a puff of his Marlboro, he continued slowly, "Crow, Wei, you need to understand that our brothers are our foundation. Without these underlings, let alone a gang leader, we're nothing. So spending money on these underlings is completely worthwhile."
"Yeah, yeah! You're really rich, handsome guy. We guys in Yuen Long may have a lot of territory, but we're really poor. We can't afford to raise any underlings."
The crow gave a perfunctory reply, but he didn't actually agree with Chu Tian's words.
“Crow is right, we’d like to too, but the problem is we don’t have the money. Yuen Long is a poor, remote place, and Boss Luo won’t allow us to expand.”
At this moment, the smiling tiger also chimed in,
Although Smiling Tiger was Dongxing's strategist, he didn't think things through thoroughly on this issue, nor did he agree with Chu Tian's ideas.
The real reason is that both of them are quite greedy and unwilling to spend money on their younger brothers.
Chu Tian frowned slightly and remained silent. These two were short-sighted and could only see immediate benefits; there was no point in him saying anything more.
"Yes, that's right, it's Boss Luo. Ever since he brought us back from the Netherlands, he's completely lost his ambition. Not only does he forbid us from expanding outwards, but he even tries to make us endure being bullied. I don't understand how he's become like this!"
Hearing the smiling tiger criticize the camel, the crow seemed to have found common ground and immediately began to grumble with displeasure.
Chu Tian didn't respond either, but simply narrowed his eyes as he looked at the crow.
If I remember correctly, the camel was killed by the crow.
And the crow seemed to have said something similar on the eve of killing the camel.
Is a story of betraying one's master and ancestors about to unfold?
Chu Tian began to feel a little hopeful.
As the saying goes, you have to take down the boss to rise to the top.
Only by eliminating the camel could he have a chance to become the leader of Tung Sing.
"Sigh! Boss Luo is getting old after all, and he's lost his ambition. There's nothing we can do but listen to him, his underlings."
The smiling tiger spoke with apparent helplessness, but he actually emphasized the words "become his underling" slightly, as if hinting at something.
The crow seemed lost in thought, its eyes somber, and remained silent.
Chu Tian naturally noticed this as well, but he didn't say anything.
Just wait quietly for the plot to unfold.
While the group was talking, the battle below was already coming to an end.
After Tony and his men killed two or three hundred of the loyal and righteous men, the group was completely defeated and scattered.
Ah Heng, the leader of the Loyalty and Righteousness Hall, was captured alive by Tony.
Five minutes later, not a single loyal and righteous henchman remained standing on the battlefield below.
Tony, meanwhile, led his men to clean up the battlefield.
"Congratulations, handsome! You've won another great victory. With this record of 600 men against 1,000, you're sure to dominate the headlines in the martial arts world tomorrow."
The smiling tiger stepped forward with a beaming smile and offered his congratulations.
"This deserves a proper celebration! Remember to buy us drinks!!!"
Although a little jealous, the crow still stepped forward to congratulate them.
Jealousy was useless; he wasn't as willing to spend money as Chu Tian.
"Hehe!" Chu Tian chuckled noncommittally.
Just then, Tony suddenly carried Ahheng to the third floor and threw Ahheng at Chu Tian's feet.
Now, both of Aachen's shoulders have been shattered by Tony, and his hands hang limply at his sides.
His face was deathly pale, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans were constantly dripping from his forehead; he appeared to be in great pain.
"Brother Tian, this is Ah Heng, the leader of Zhongxinyi. I've captured him alive. Should we lock him up and demand a ransom from Zhongxinyi?"
After the incidents involving Chan Ho-nam and Lian Hao-tung,
Tony knew perfectly well that these leaders of other gangs were not just simple leaders.
They're practically cash cows!
Just as Chu Tian was about to speak, the crow approached and sneered at Ah Heng:
"Oh my, who is this? Isn't this our leader of the Loyal and Trustworthy Gang, Brother Heng? What happened? He's changed so much in just one day!"
Hearing that familiar mocking voice, Aheng subconsciously looked up at the crow.
Upon seeing that repulsive face, my expression immediately darkened; I felt utterly ashamed.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you burying your face in the ground???"
Seeing this, the crow couldn't help but let out a strange laugh, then suddenly reached out and pressed down on Ah Heng's head.
"what!"
He landed face-first on the ground, and Ahheng immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Wow! That's quite a powerful shout!!!"
Hearing the scream, the crow didn't stop; instead, it grabbed Ahheng's hair, lifted his head, and made him look at it.
Looking at Ahheng's crooked nose and bleeding forehead, the crow felt an extreme sense of satisfaction.
Then he slammed Ahheng's head hard onto the ground again.
Ahheng let out another piercing scream.
Chu Tian did not stop the crow from doing all this.
Ah Heng led his men to invade his territory, and Crow was willing to teach him a lesson, which was naturally a good thing, saving him the trouble of doing it himself.
However, the crow didn't continue, since it was impossible to actually kill Ahheng.
Based on Chu Tian's personality, he felt that Chu Tian would most likely use Ah Heng to continue extorting money from Zhong Xinyi.
If Ah Heng kills him, it will be difficult to explain to Chu Tian.
