Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

At the same time as Liu Xu took up his post, the monthly headquarters meeting of the Lianying Society was also coming to an end.

As a third-rate society in Hong Kong Island, they were not qualified to set up their headquarters in Central, so they directly set up their headquarters in the dragon head’s territory - Yau Ma Tei.

At this time, Li Honghai's son Li Ming was standing not far from the entrance of the main hall, patiently waiting for the meeting to end.

Although he was the son of Li Honghai, the leader of the Lianying Society, Li Ming was never allowed to participate in the society's affairs, nor was he included in the society's roster. Therefore, when the Lianying Society held its main hall meeting, he could only stand outside the door.

After the meeting, the door of the main hall was finally opened. Li Ming seized the opportunity and stopped the only two leaders of Lianying Society, Xu Tai and Fei Lifei, who were about to leave at the door.

"Uncle Tai, Uncle Fei, please wait a moment!" Li Ming's tone was a little anxious, but he rudely invited the two elders back to the hall.

After Xu Tai and Li Fei sat down and the other brothers in the main hall dispersed, Li Ming smiled and told the two elders his purpose: "Uncle Tai, Uncle Fei, I am waiting for you outside the door because I want to discuss a business with you.

Li Fei and Xu Tai looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

On the streets of Yau Tsim Mong, the fact that the prince of the United Ying Society was always losing money in business had long been a topic of conversation. Not to mention, Li Ming was once kidnapped while doing business.

They originally thought that after experiencing the incident of their son being "invited to be a guest", Li Honghai would give up the idea of ​​letting Li Ming continue to follow the right path, and instead let Li Ming slowly take over the affairs of the society.

But now after hearing what Li Ming said, they suddenly understood that Li Honghai was still determined to make Li Ming walk on the right path.

Li Ming saw the expressions of the two elders and instantly guessed what they were thinking. So he added: "I know that I have not been very successful in business in the past, but this time, I am confident that I can achieve something."

Since we are taking the right path, the business must be a legitimate business.

Li Fei had no other thoughts. He just smiled and patted Li Ming on the shoulder, his tone full of encouragement: "A Ming, do business in a legitimate way. Uncle Fei will definitely support you with both hands."

"Tell me, what business is it?" he asked curiously.

Although Xu Tai did not say anything, he sat quietly by the side, waiting for Li Ming's next words.

Li Ming took a deep breath and looked at his two uncles with bright eyes. "My friend and I opened a beverage sales company. Now we mainly sell beer and mineral water."

"So, I want to take away the exclusive liquor rights in your territory, Uncle Tai and Uncle Fei." There was a hint of determination in Li Ming's words.

Li Ming did not mention Liu Xu's name directly, but used the word "partner" instead. He was worried that Uncle Tai would reject him directly when he heard this name. After all, Liu Xu had some unpleasantness with Uncle Tai when he sent him back.

He secretly observed the reactions of his two uncles, and when he saw that they did not immediately refuse, he continued, “I have now spent 50,000 Hong Kong dollars and successfully obtained the exclusive liquor rights on my father’s territory.”

At this point, Li Ming pretended to be very embarrassed. After a pause, he gritted his teeth and continued to say to Xu Tai and Li Fei: "If...if the two uncles are willing to give me the exclusive wine rights on your territory."

"I am willing to make this deal with the two uncles at the same huge fee of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars per month."

In the Lianying Society, Li Honghai's territory is the largest, Xu Tai is the second, and Li Fei's territory is the smallest among the three.

Therefore, when they heard that Li Ming was willing to pay the same price as Li Honghai to acquire the exclusive liquor rights on their territory, Li Fei and Xu Tai's eyes suddenly flashed with interest.

The club's membership fees were mostly collected from entertainment venues, gambling dens, horse stables, restaurants, etc. It was the first time they heard of collecting membership fees from a company like the alcohol sales company.

If they agree to the deal with Li Ming, it will also be the first time they have done so.

"This is indeed a fresh proposal." Xu Tai said slowly, with a hint of caution in his voice.

Li Fei's eyes were full of greed, and he made no secret of his pursuit of wealth. He showed great interest in the exclusive fee of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars per month proposed by Li Ming.

He quickly calculated in his mind, fifty thousand a month, six hundred thousand a year. In other words, as long as he made this deal, he could get a thousand-square-foot mansion for free every year.

"A Xu, the business you proposed is very attractive." Li Fei licked his lips and said greedily, "I am very interested in making this deal with you. But how about the money?"

"I will transfer the money to your account, Uncle Fei, on the last day of the month," Li Ming explained.

Li Fei didn't hesitate any more, and made a decision immediately with a wave of his hand: "Okay, I agree! I will ask Yuzai to cooperate with you in your work."

He didn't care about Xu Tai's opinion and agreed immediately.

He is almost at the age where the earth is covering his neck and he can't care about so many things anymore.

Now, the affairs of his territory are slowly being handed over to his confidant: He Yu. If he doesn't find a way to make more money, when he retires completely, it will be difficult for him to support himself in his old age.

Li Ming was very happy to hear Li Fei agreed. He took out two copies of the contract from his arms. "Uncle Fei, please sign the contract."

When Li Fei saw Li Ming handing him a contract, a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"When our society discusses business, don't we always make verbal agreements, and then I ask Yuzai to cooperate with you? Do we still need to sign a contract to discuss business now?" Li Fei looked at the contract with some confusion, then looked at Li Ming.

Hearing this, Li Ming became a little happy. "Uncle Fei, you have misunderstood."

"We are doing legitimate business this time. The money that is transferred to your account at the end of each month is clean money. It has gone through formal procedures and has paid taxes."

"So, of course we need a contract! This will ensure that our cooperation is more formal and legal."

After listening to Li Ming's explanation, Li Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, "A Ming, you are really different now. You are so methodical in doing things. Uncle Fei believes that you will not lie to me!"

As he said that, he took the pen handed to him by Li Ming and signed his name in two quick strokes.

After putting away his own contract, Li Fei smiled and gave a thumbs up to Li Honghai who was sitting in the main seat, praising him: "Brother Hai, Ah Ming is really becoming more and more promising now!"

"Not only does he do things in an orderly manner, but he also knows how to use contracts to protect our legal rights. This business will definitely be a great success!"

Xu Tai, who had been sitting quietly, also dispelled his doubts when he saw that he still needed to sign a contract. He carefully read the contents of the contract and found that the terms were clear and reasonable.

So he nodded with satisfaction and signed the contract handed over by Li Ming.

After signing the contract, Xu Tai said with emotion: "Sure enough, only after going through hardships can people make great progress. Ming, you are very good. This contract allows me to see your growth and transformation."

"I believe that you will be even better in the future."

After signing the contract with Li Ming, Li Fei and Xu Tai seemed extremely happy. They praised each other with Li Honghai, and then praised Li Ming.

Amidst the laughter and joy, Li Fei and Xu Tai stood up to say goodbye. They shook Li Ming's hand and expressed their encouragement and trust in him again: "A Ming, we are optimistic about you! We believe that you will be able to make your business flourish this time."

Li Ming also held their hands tightly and said gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Fei and Uncle Tai for your trust and support! I will definitely go all out and live up to your expectations of me!"

Just like that, in an atmosphere of harmony and expectation, Li Fei and Xu Tai left the headquarters.

After the two figures completely disappeared, Li Honghai sneered: "A Ming, whether you are a gangster or a businessman, there is a skill that is essential. Do you know what it is?"

Li Honghai looked at his son and asked slowly.
