Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Chapter 555 Business and Decentralization

Liu Xu's eyes swept across the audience, his tone firm and confident.

"I want to emphasize that we and the Liansheng Society must abandon the past internal fighting and fighting alone, and unite to cope with external challenges."

“How can we unite all of us here? This is related to the fundamental reason why we joined the community.”

"First, to avoid being bullied by others; second, to have a full meal when you can't find a job; third, to stand out and make money!"

The attention of the dozen or so Red Sticks and a group of low-level members sitting around was attracted, and some hall masters also showed anticipation in their eyes.

The former is concerned with the word "standing out", while the latter is concerned with making money.

Seeing this, Liu Xu paused for a moment to give everyone time to digest the message.

Then he continued: "Now, I want to tell you that these goals are not unattainable dreams in my opinion."

"We have already achieved the goal of not being bullied by others. As one of the four major societies in Hong Kong Island, He Liansheng has no one who dares to bully us."

"We can have enough food to eat, and our community has also achieved this."

As he spoke, Liu Xu looked at the people present and said, "I believe that all the brothers present here have not had lunch, right?"

Hearing this, everyone smiled at each other, some patted their stomachs gently, and some shook their heads, with smiles of satisfaction and pride on their faces.

Obviously, Liu Xu's question touched their hearts' gratitude towards the community for providing basic living security.

"Very good. I'm happy to see that everyone can have enough food." Liu Xu nodded with satisfaction, with a hint of relief in his tone.

"This shows that our society has, at least in terms of material aspects, provided every brother with the most basic living security. But this is only the starting point, not the end point."

"Next, about 'standing out' and 'making money'."

"In terms of prominence, our club's strength has surpassed Hongxing and Dongxing, and can even rival Xinji. It doesn't make sense that Hongxing can have twelve hall masters, but we can only have ten."

"In order to give newcomers more opportunities, I plan to add a new position for the club. The conditions for taking the position will be determined based on the size of the territories held by the brothers."

Although this sentence did not directly specify the target audience, the faces of the red sticks on all three sides showed a hint of nervousness and excitement.

Obviously they were well aware that this opportunity was set up for them by the boss.

"As for making money, our society has always had a lot of legal businesses and channels. But I know that some brothers may not be interested in these traditional businesses or feel that the profits are limited."

"Therefore, I plan to join forces with Hongxing and lead everyone to develop the Haojiang Casino. At the same time, I have opened up a channel for transporting fruits and vegetables from the inland."

“I plan to incorporate it into the community business and help everyone make money together.”

As he spoke, Liu Xu asked Li Hangluo to distribute the price list of Hong Kong vegetables that he had prepared in advance to everyone present, and also informed everyone of the prices of mainland vegetables.

The profit difference of more than ten times made everyone present instantly jealous.

"The money earned from this business is almost as much as from my flour business, and it's legal and compliant!" When Yu Toubiao's eyes fell on the list, he suddenly felt that the flour business was no longer attractive.

Even Chui Ji didn't care about the feeling of loss from the failed plan and focused his attention on what was in front of him.

Seeing that everyone's emotions were aroused, Liu Xu struck while the iron was hot: "Since this is a club business, and I am the new club leader, I plan to change the profit-sharing system in the future."

"In the future, 30% of the total profits of the Heliansheng Company will be enjoyed by my uncles who have already retired. We want to ensure that they are well taken care of in their old age. This benefit will continue until he dies."

"And the head of the hall, the master of the hall, and the uncles in office will each enjoy a share of the dividends."

"Of the remaining 40%, the Red Sticks are responsible for expanding the society's territory and are eligible to enjoy 10%. The last 30% will be enjoyed by the remaining members on the society's roster."

"In addition, I plan to learn from Hongxing's practice and expand the authority of the hall master, and cancel the qualification of the main hall to arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of the hall."

Liu Xu spoke a series of words very quickly and finished explaining everything in one breath.

As the words fell, the faces of the Red Sticks and White Paper Fans instantly became better. The Hall Masters were in a state of uncertainty, while the uncles looked completely ugly.

10% profit, this is something they cannot accept. After making eye contact with each other, Chuanbao stood up and questioned:

"Ah Xu, nine uncles get 10%, that's too little, right? You know, we used to get 50% of the year-end dividends of the community company."

"Moreover, the main hall has the right to supervise and manage each hall. This is the rule we set when we first established Lian Sheng."

"You made changes without consulting us. Isn't that a bit..."

Before Chuanbao could finish his words, Liu Xu raised his hand and gently interrupted him.

After giving Li Hangluo a strange look, he slowly stood up, looked around at everyone present, and spoke in a calm and powerful tone.

"Uncle Chuanbao, I understand your nostalgia for the previous dividend ratio."

"But times are changing, and societies need to keep pace with the times. If Lian Sheng and I want to stand out among the four major societies in Hong Kong Island, we must make changes."

"Regarding the distribution of dividends to uncles, the proposal I put forward is well thought out. If you think the dividends are too little, you can actually consider the third share of dividends for the retired ones."

"Moreover, I promise that as the community continues to grow, these proportions will be adjusted according to actual conditions."

"As for the management and supervision rights of the main hall over the halls, I don't want to completely cancel them, but to optimize them. Let the hall masters have the decision-making power over their respective halls..."

Outside the hall, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, causing Liu Xu to stop talking involuntarily and look towards the door.

When other people in the hall saw Liu Xu's actions, they all turned their eyes.

The four young men ran over quickly and saw that everyone in the hall not only remained silent but also turned their eyes to them. The two men swallowed nervously.

"Ah Hai, what's wrong with you? You can't even open the door properly! Don't you know it's time for the main hall meeting? You let in all kinds of people."

Uncle Xing suddenly stood up and scolded one of the thin men in a serious tone.

Liu Xu felt somewhat familiar with the man named Ah Hai, as he was the one who had just informed him that the voting was over and opened the door for him.

Seeing the other party's nervousness, Liu Xu waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, what's the matter?"

Perhaps inspired by the new chairman, Ah Hai waved his hands, not knowing where to put them, and pointed at the three men beside him:

"Da Huang is with Uncle Shuangfan Dong, Sha Dong is with Uncle Hai, and A Long is with Uncle Zhu."

"Among them, Da Huang said that Dong Shu and his men had an accident on their way to a meeting at the headquarters. The vehicle they were riding in was crushed by the steel wheels of a trailer, and they died on the spot;"

"Shadong said that Uncle Hai might have forgotten to turn off the gas after cooking when he was taking a nap at home, which led to gas poisoning. The person died when he was sent to the hospital;"

"As for A-Long, he is Uncle Chu's bodyguard and driver. He said that when he went to pick up the car, Uncle Chu suddenly disappeared."

"He thought Uncle Chu had left early, but he received a message from Brother Ji saying that Uncle Chu did not show up at the main hall meeting. He hurried over to confirm and report."

When Dahuang, Shadong and Along saw that Ahai had helped them report everything they wanted to report, they nodded repeatedly to Liu Xu who was sitting in the main seat with gratitude.

Indicates that there is nothing wrong with what Ah Hai reported.
