Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss
Chapter 147: Mutual Blame
He looked around and saw that everyone was keeping their heads down and not saying anything, which made him feel helpless. Finally, he said slowly, "Since this is the case, we can't just sit there and wait for death."
"How about this, let's draw lots. Whoever draws the word 'go' will handle the matter. This will be fair and just, and will also prevent people from refusing."
As soon as Uncle Mei finished speaking, there was a slight commotion in the hall, and everyone seemed to be secretly relieved by this proposal.
"Okay, let's do as Uncle Mei said and decide by drawing lots." Fat Uncle expressed his opinion first. As an elder of Hongtai, he didn't need to do anything even if he drew the "go" lot, so he could naturally answer with confidence.
Upon seeing this, Xiaoba Wang and A Quan glanced at Fat Uncle expressionlessly without saying a word.
Seeing that no one objected, Uncle Mei nodded secretly in his heart.
Soon, the drawing equipment was ready. Uncle Mei shook the drawing tube himself to mix the papers thoroughly to ensure fairness.
"Let's start drawing lots now." Uncle Mei said in a deep voice, his eyes swept over everyone present, and finally handed the bucket to his son - the prince, "You go first."
The prince took the lottery tube, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and reached out to pull out a piece of paper. He slowly unfolded it, and saw a big "stay" written on it. Seeing this, he cursed angrily.
Next came Uncle Fat, Uncle Ma and others. They took the lottery tubes one by one, and the results were all “stay”, which made them breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
When Ah Quan finished drawing, Uncle Mei stepped forward to take over the lottery tube, reached out and took out the last note from it and handed it to the last person, "Little Overlord, everyone is staying, it seems that this important task will be handed over to you."
Uncle Mei patted Xiao Ba Wang on the shoulder and said, "I'll give you a week. I hope you can do this well."
The little bully opened the note in his hand unwillingly, and saw a glaring word "go" in his eyes. If he didn't do anything after winning the lottery, he would be kicked out. There was no other way, he could only accept this task honestly.
Little Overlord didn't notice that Ah Quan beside him first looked at the lottery box in Uncle Mei's hand with a twinkling look in his eyes, and then looked at the note in his hand. His expression was very intriguing.
Uncle Mei returned to the main seat, put down the lottery box in his hand, and said, "Now that Hong Fei's matter has been settled, let's discuss the matter of Feng Xu in Yau Ma Tei next."
As soon as Uncle Mei finished speaking, Ah Quan immediately stood up and continued, "Uncle Mei, why don't you just give up the territory? With Feng Xu's strength, he will definitely not stop at Yau Ma Tei."
"I only have over a hundred men, it's hard to stop him. Besides, if we just give up our territory, we can not only ask for a favor from the other party, but also reduce some of our losses."
Upon hearing this, the fat uncle's eyes suddenly widened, "No way, Ah Quan, are you crazy? Why don't you just give your mother to the other party?"
Ah Quan sneered and said in a mocking tone: "Uncle Fatty, you speak so confidently, how about we switch places and you take on Feng Xu?"
Ah Quan's words immediately stopped Fatty Uncle from talking. He was already nearly fifty years old, and asking him to fight Feng Xu was no different from asking him to die.
He had heard that after Feng Xu challenged Sun Kee and Wo Fook in Yau Ma Tei, he led his men across the West Kowloon Corridor and had another fight with Wang Bao in Jordan.
There are rumors that Wang Bao was punched by Liu Xu and sent to the hospital in the early morning, and he hasn't come out yet.
Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, the fat uncle who had been in the underworld for so many years understood one thing, that is, there is no smoke without fire. For all kinds of rumors in the underworld, it is better to believe them than to believe them.
The prince beside him heard this and showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, and said sarcastically: "This Liu Xu is really crazy about people. Speaking of it, Brother Bao's death is also related to him."
"If he hadn't occupied Hong Fei's territory and driven him out of Yau Ma Tei, Brother Bao wouldn't have been hacked to death by Hong Fei."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were drawn to his words, the prince spoke with a hint of pride. "If it were up to me, we should just send in the swordsmen to kill him when he's alone.
"This way, we can not only avenge Brother Bao, but also take advantage of the situation to seize the other party's territory in Yau Ma Tei."
Ah Quan, Uncle Ma, Fatty and the others all looked at the prince as if he were a fool. The other party's words were too brave.
At this time, A Quan, who was sitting at the end, had a somewhat obscure look in his eyes. He was considering in his mind whether he could wipe out Hong Tai and his gang if he told Feng Xu about this.
As long as he could help Liu Xu take over Hong Tai's territories in Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok and Wong Tai Sin in West Kowloon and wipe out the Hong Tai gang, he believed that the other party would not treat him unfairly.
Thinking of the famous saying "It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix", he immediately gave up the idea. In Hongtai, he is at least the eldest brother.
Moreover, Feng Xu only had less than 2,000 men under his command. 2,000 versus 5,000, even if they could win, the Hong Kong police would definitely not sit idly by in such a large-scale conflict.
By then, the final result will just be a hasty resolution, with no one being able to do anything to anyone else.
Ah Quan hid his thoughts deep in his heart and looked at Uncle Mei who was sitting in the first position.
Now I just hope that Longtou can think of a solution. Otherwise, even if he is not swallowed up by Liu Xu, he will be swallowed up by the Number Gang or Hongxing.
As for the initial talk of giving up the territory, it was just an excuse for him to retreat in order to advance. Why did he still only have more than a hundred younger brothers under him after becoming the big brother Hongtai?
This is because Uncle Mei is unwilling to give up power and territory. How can the people below him become bigger and stronger when they have no people and no money?
This is the fundamental reason why Hongtai is declining and gradually moving towards a third-rate society. I hope Uncle Mei can give him money to help Fengxu.
Uncle Mei, who was sitting in the main seat, shook his head slightly, and it was unclear whether he was shaking his head in response to Ah Quan's words or the prince's words.
"Ah Quan, your idea has its merits, but it is too short-sighted."
"We have been based on this land for many years. How can we give it up just like that? Your territory in Mong Kok was built with the blood, sweat and tears of countless brothers of ours."
"If we give up easily, not only will our brothers be disappointed, but the outside world will also look down on us and think that we are soft persimmons that can be easily manipulated."
He paused, his eyes swept over everyone present, and continued, "Furthermore, if we give up our Mong Kok site today because of Feng Xu's covetousness."
"If he covets our headquarters in West Kowloon tomorrow, should we give it up as well? Doing so will only allow him to gradually erode our territory."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ma nodded in agreement and echoed, "Uncle Mei is right."
As he spoke, he patted Ah Quan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Ah Quan, we can't give up our principles because of momentary fear. I, Uncle Ma, have made a statement here, and I will definitely support you."
Upon hearing this, the little bully also said, "That's right, Ah Quan, I, the little bully, will definitely support you."
Ah Quan looked at the two people who were just talking but not taking any real action, rolled his eyes and looked at Uncle Longtou Mei.
Uncle Mei, who noticed the gaze, smiled slightly, waved his hand, and signaled Ah Quan to be patient.
He said in a calm tone: "I will give you one million Hong Kong dollars and two hundred followers from the headquarters so that you can have the strength to resist Feng Xu."
"Once the other side makes a move, you will arrange for your subordinates to hold them off, and then request support from the headquarters. I will definitely send people to help you immediately."
Ah Quan waited in silence for a while after hearing this. After seeing that Uncle Mei was unwilling to raise the price, he forced a smile on his face and nodded helplessly, agreeing to Uncle Mei's proposal.
This is obviously the maximum support that Uncle Mei can give. Although it is of no help, being able to earn one million Hong Kong dollars is a comfort to the soul.
