Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Dong Quan smiled and said, "You are really wasting resources."

Lu Yongqiang chuckled twice and said, "What do you mean by wasting natural resources? Godfather should just say that I am a wild boar that cannot eat fine bran.

Oh, Godfather, why did you call me here so urgently? Is there something urgent?"

Lu Yongqiang said this with self-mockery, but in his heart he sneered, "He's clearly a reckless man who's done all sorts of bad things. Even at his age, he still wants to pretend to be a gentleman, thinking that by pretending to make Kung Fu tea, he can whitewash himself."

In reality, it wasn't just Dong Quan who loved to act pretentiously; many of the leaders of Hong Kong's social organizations also loved to do so. The most pretentious of them all was Uncle Deng, the retired emperor of He Liansheng. Every time there was an election for the leadership of the social organization, the dozen or so uncles would argue fiercely, and the most calculating of them all was Old Deng. Yet, he would pretend to be alone, making tea, to appear noncompetitive.

As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dong Quan said, "Aqiang, although Sisi is only my goddaughter, I have raised her since she was a child. She is no different from my own daughter."

Dong Quan wiped his hands with a towel and continued, "Tyrannosaurus has been gone for more than half a year, and I don't want Sisi to be alone in the future.

Ah Qiang, I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but I hope you won’t be prejudiced against Sisi because of the misunderstanding between us, and don’t make Sisi sad.

Lu Yongqiang looked at Dong Quan and saw only sincerity in his eyes, which made Lu Yongqiang a little dazed. He was a little confused about what the old man was thinking.

Seeing that Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything, Dong Quan smiled and said, "Aqiang, don't think too much. The reason I told you this is because I'm old and I can't bear to see my own children sad."

Dong Quan casually explained, then continued, "Aqiang, the reason I called you here today is to discuss investment. Tell me, how much money do you want me to invest?"

Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and said, "Godfather, you should have heard the conversation between me and Boss Li that day. I'm planning to make a big splash on Bolan Street. The initial capital will be no less than two million, and I only have one million. If you're willing, then I can invest one million. Then I can give you another 10% of my shares."

After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Dong Quan thought for a moment and said, "I'll invest the money, but I have one request. I want Sisi to work at your company. Is that a reasonable request?"

Lu Yongqiang hesitated for a moment and said, "No problem! My company has just been established and we need people. Since my godfather has asked, I will let my sister-in-law be the deputy general manager of the company."

After the matter was settled, Lu Yongqiang did not stay in Dong Quan's study for long and left quickly.

As soon as he walked out of the study, he received a call from Lao Gou, saying that Xue Sihai, the boss of the Sihai Gang, wanted to have tea with him. The location was set at Xingtai's territory, and Zhao Tai, the boss of Xingtai, was the middleman.

Lao Gou is a man with good action ability. After Lu Yongqiang handed the matter over to him, Lao Gou instigated the residents of the vegetable market to have a conflict with the people from Sihai Construction that day.

Sihai Construction is nominally a formal construction company, but in essence it is a gang. If conflicts occur during the day, they send people to intimidate at night.

Although it was just intimidation, the methods used were not ambiguous at all. Smashing things and throwing paint were the usual tactics, and anyone who dared to say anything more would be beaten directly.

These days, gangs generally use these routines to do things, and the people in the Four Seas Gang didn't expect that someone would deliberately set up a trap, so when they took action that night, they didn't try to avoid people at all. Then things got complicated, and not only were they photographed by reporters from several newspapers, but they were also recorded by reporters from a TV station.

Then the next day, not only was the beating reported in the newspaper, but the TV station also reported it, and the matter became a big deal.

The Four Seas Gang wasn't a first-rate gang, just a third-rate gang in Tuen Mun. Although they had some connections, they couldn't suppress the incident. They arranged for someone to surrender to the police that day, hoping to take the blame and make a big deal out of it.

If this was just an accidental incident, then there was nothing wrong with the Four Seas Gang's response. However, with Lu Yongqiang behind the scenes, things did not develop according to the Four Seas Gang's wishes.

As soon as Sihai Construction arranged for someone to surrender to the police station, Lao Gou organized a group of people to block the police station and report the crime. There were also seven or eight reporters with them. This matter could no longer be covered up.

More than half a month has passed since the incident, and many problems have been found in Sihai Construction. As of now, more than 20 people have been arrested in Sihai Construction, even the general manager of the company has been arrested. Sihai Construction has been completely wiped out.

Originally, Lu Yongqiang thought that this matter might implicate the Sihai Gang, but he didn't expect that the general manager of Sihai Construction died in the police station that night after being arrested. Afterwards, the deputy general manager of Sihai Construction took all the charges, and the matter was completely solved.

The Sihai Gang has been dealing with the troubles caused by Sihai Construction, so even though they later found out that it was Lu Yongqiang who was behind the trouble, they never looked for Lu Yongqiang.

Now it seems that the trouble has been dealt with and it is time to settle the score with Lu Yongqiang.

Xue Sihai is a young man, only in his thirties. He used to be a groom on a boat. Later, Smiling Tiger fell in love with his girlfriend. In order to curry favor with Smiling Tiger, Xue Sihai directly sent his girlfriend to Smiling Tiger's bed.

After joining forces with the Smiling Tiger, Xue Sihai gradually became prominent, gathered twenty or thirty people under him, and then started to do the human trafficker business.

The boat gang is called a society, but in fact it is a loose organization formed spontaneously by fishermen who make a living on the sea in Tuen Mun in order to avoid being bullied by the society. The system is not strict.

Xue Sihai started out in the human trafficker business. After becoming rich and powerful, he quit the boat gang and founded the Sihai Gang.

Xue Sihai had only a few men under his command, only about a hundred in total, but they were all ruthless. After all, being a human trafficker wasn't just about smuggling people across the border and trafficking them; they also occasionally engaged in maritime robbery. Despite their small number, few people were willing to mess with these desperate criminals.

Xue Sihai is quite powerful, but that is only true in the rural area of Tuen Mun. He is not that strong in the entire Hong Kong city.

Lu Yongqiang is a member of Hongxing. Xue Sihai may not give face to Lu Yongqiang personally, but he must give face to the entire Hongxing society. So even if he wants to kill Lu Yongqiang immediately, he must use courtesy before force, so he made an appointment with Lu Yongqiang to negotiate.

Lu Yongqiang's reasons for provoking the Sihai Gang were, firstly, that the Sihai Gang had overstepped their bounds by not even giving him a heads-up, a disrespectful act, secondly, the old market renovation project was lucrative, and Lu Yongqiang had his eye on this lucrative piece of meat, and thirdly, Lu Yongqiang's original self had a grudge against Xue Sihai, whose parents had been indirectly killed by him. Since he had taken over the original's body, Lu Yongqiang intended to avenge it.

Xue Sihai was in the human snake business. One time, he robbed several robbers at sea. Unexpectedly, he was careless and let one of them escape. Later, the robber brought people back to the port city to seek revenge. When they were fighting with Xue Sihai, the original person's parents were at the scene. Then they met with misfortune. Both of them were hit by stray bullets and died on the spot.

The several gangsters from the Big Circle Gang were later shot dead by the police, and Lu Yongqiang could only blame Xue Sihai for the grudge.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yongqiang and Xue Sihai met at Xingtai's territory, a teahouse under the name of Xingtai.

Since Zhao Tai was the middleman, Lu Yongqiang didn't bring many people with him, only Dadong and Lao Gou.

When Lu Yongqiang arrived, Xue Sihai had already arrived. The people in the teahouse hall and at the door were all from Xingtai. No one from Xue Sihai was seen. It seemed that Xue Sihai didn't bring many people with him.

Led by a younger brother from Xingtai, Lu Yongqiang and the other two came to a private room.

There were a total of seven people in the private room. Zhao Tai sat in the main seat with three younger brothers standing behind him, while Xue Sihai sat on Zhao Tai's right with two younger brothers standing behind him.

When Lu Yongqiang entered the room, he greeted Zhao Tai first, bowed and said, "Brother Tai, I'm so sorry. There was a traffic jam when I came here, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

Zhao Tai is in his forties, about 1.75 meters tall, with a muscular body, looking very strong. He is wearing a kung fu shirt and holding two iron balls in his hands.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Zhao Tai said with a smile: "Qiangzi, don't give me these empty words. Since you are here, come and sit down."

Zhao Tai had a smile on his face, but there was a fierce light in his eyes, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry.

Lu Yongqiang didn't hesitate to pull out a chair and sit down. After sitting down, he poured himself a cup of boiled water.

Seeing Lu Yongqiang sitting down, Zhao Tai said, "Qiangzi, Ah Hai said that he had some misunderstandings with you recently, so he wanted to talk to you and see if he could clear up the misunderstanding between you two."

Lu Yongqiang held the water cup in both hands and said nothing, but looked at Xue Sihai opposite him. Xue Sihai also glared at Lu Yongqiang fiercely.

Sihai Construction Company, although called a construction company, actually used to do small jobs like decoration. This old vegetable market renovation project is the largest project the company has received since its establishment. In order to get this project, Xue Sihai put in a lot of effort. Just to settle the relationships with the higher-ups, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Now, because of Lu Yongqiang, not only have all these efforts gone to waste, but the Sihai Construction Company has also been wiped out. In order to get rid of being implicated by the Sihai Construction Company, Xue Sihai has spent millions again. The losses here and there are too great, so Xue Sihai can't control the hatred in his heart at all, and the murderous intent in his eyes is even more undisguised.

Lu Yongqiang put down his water cup, spread his hands and said, "Brother Tai, Boss Xue's eyes don't look like he wants to clear up the misunderstanding with me. Instead, it looks like he wants to eat me alive. Is there any need to continue this negotiation?"

Hearing Lu Yongqiang say this, Zhao Tai looked at Xue Sihai. Seeing Xue Sihai's eyes, he immediately warned: "Ahai, don't do anything rash. Qiangzi came here to give me face. If something happens to him in my territory, don't blame me for making things difficult for you."

Zhao Tai was in the business of selling stolen goods, and he had a lot of dealings with people from the big circle. After all, once people from the big circle made a big deal, they would rarely run away with the stuff. They would usually sell the stolen goods first, and then run away with the money.

Xue Sihai was in the human trafficker business and had a lot of dealings with powerful people in the big circle. After all, smuggling and other things were part of his business.

Because of their business dealings, Xue Sihai and Zhao Tai have a good relationship, so when Xue Sihai asked him for help, he was willing to be the middleman.

But when he saw Xue Sihai's eyes, Zhao Tai regretted and began to regret stepping into this mess.

Judging from the look in Xue Sihai's eyes, it was obvious that he was determined to fight Lu Yongqiang to the death. The negotiation this time was probably just a formality.

As Zhao Tai finished speaking, Xue Sihai turned to Lu Yongqiang and said, "Ma Piqiang, I, Xue Sihai, don't think I've ever offended you. Why did you do this to me and ruin my business? Do you know how much I've lost this time? If you don't give me an explanation for this, even Jiang Tiansheng of Hongxing won't be able to protect you."

As Xue Sihai finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang sneered, "Your men came to my territory to seek food, but have they ever bowed before me? Are you looking down on me, Lu Yongqiang, or on the entire Hongxing community? And you're not even worthy of calling us Mr. Jiang by his name, are you looking down on us, Mr. Jiang?"

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Xue Sihai slammed his hand on the table, and then shouted angrily: "Ma Pingqiang, stop using the name of Hongxing to pressure me. Hong Kong is not the only one that dominates Hongxing. Do you really think that just because you are a member of Hongxing, you can do whatever you want without any scruples? You must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise you will die!"

The more aggressive Xue Sihai became, the calmer Lu Yongqiang's expression became. He smiled and said, "Green-headed turtle, you don't have to be so pretentious. We, the Hongxing, may not be the only dominant group in Hong Kong, but we are not people that can be provoked by just any cat or dog. Since you are so aggressive, why the hell are you even trying to negotiate? Just get down to business. I, Lu Yongqiang, am waiting for you to take my life."

Green-headed Turtle, this was the nickname Xue Sihai got after he voluntarily sent his girlfriend to the bed of Smiling Tiger. This nickname was not used for a few years. After Xue Sihai established the Sihai Gang, everyone generally called him Snake-headed Hai.

Green-headed turtle, this is Xue Sihai's past black history, and it is also a taboo word for Xue Sihai in recent years. Now that Lu Yongqiang mentioned it, Xue Sihai couldn't help it. He pulled out the gun from his waist and pointed it at Lu Yongqiang's head.

After Xue Sihai opened fire, everyone except Lu Yongqiang and Zhao Tai reacted quickly, quickly pulling out their weapons. Everyone's face was filled with vigilance and tension, as if a life-or-death duel was about to unfold.

However, Lu Yongqiang didn't panic like the others. He sat there quietly, seemingly unfazed by the situation. In reality, it wasn't that he was slow to react, but rather that he simply didn't want to act. He knew Xue Sihai wouldn't dare fire unless he wanted to die with him.

As everyone drew their weapons, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly grew extremely tense. The air seemed to freeze, suffocating. At this tense moment, Zhao Tai suddenly released the two iron balls he was holding tightly in his hands and slammed his palms down on the solid wooden table in front of him. With a loud "bang," the incredibly sturdy wooden table was punched with a massive hole!

Zhao Tai's action shocked everyone present. His eyes widened with anger and his voice was deafening: "What do you want to do? Are you trying to break my rules and slap me in the face?"

Zhao Tai's roar echoed through the room like thunder, heightening the already tense atmosphere. Lu Yongqiang smiled faintly and waved his hand, signaling Lao Gou and Dadong to put away their guns. After a moment's hesitation, they finally complied and returned their pistols to their original positions.

Seeing Lu Yongqiang's men put away their weapons, Zhao Tai stared at Xue Sihai with a fierce gaze. His eyes revealed an indescribable ferocity and determination, as if telling Xue Sihai: Don't act rashly, otherwise you will bear the consequences.
