Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Shouhou said, "Boss, just Brother Dabao needs to follow me. Forget about Brother Xiaobao and Ade. If they follow me too, you won't have anyone around you."

Lu Yongqiang said, "Alright! Just do as I say. As for me, don't worry about it. I'll let Tianhong bring a team to follow me for the time being."

"Why don't you guys check the surveillance? If someone is really following Skinny Monkey, then try to find out who they are. You're professionals in this, so I won't get involved. You can handle it on your own. But as I said before, if you sense danger, there's no need to investigate further."

Not long after Shou Hou left, Dong Si came back. As soon as he entered the room, he asked, "I just ran into Shou Hou and the others. Why did Da Bao and the others follow Shou Hou? Aren't they your bodyguards?"

Lu Yongqiang briefly explained the situation and then said, "You should be more careful recently. The situation in the martial arts world may seem calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents. No matter whether they are human or ghost, they all want to come out and wander around."

Dong Si smiled and said, "Okay! I know what I'm doing and I'll be careful."

"Oh right! Today, Lu Jinqiang from your Lu family came to the company and said he was here to discuss cooperation on behalf of Uncle Tao."

"Cooperation?" Lu Yongqiang was stunned for a moment and said, "What cooperation? Do you want to work with me to develop Dingquan Building?"

Dong Si smiled and said, "You're dreaming. Why would they want to cooperate with you in a business worth hundreds of billions?"

"Then what kind of cooperation did Lu Jinqiang come here to discuss?" Lu Yongqiang snorted coldly.

Dong Sidao said, "Lu Jinqiang came over and said Uncle Tao is planning to set up a building materials company to wholesale building materials. He came to ask if you're interested in investing. If you are, we'll cover the start-up capital, and they'll be in charge of the operation. We'll split the profits 50-50."

"I think this business isn't Uncle Tao's. It's Lu Jinqiang and his friends who want to open a building materials wholesale company. But they don't have the initial capital, so they're looking for alms from you."

After listening to Dong Si's analysis, Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "I think your analysis is correct. Uncle Tao is currently busy obtaining the development rights for the Dingquan Building, so how can he care about a small business like building materials wholesale? This building materials wholesale is probably a private idea of Lu Jinqiang and his friends."

Speaking of which, Lu Jinqiang and his men are also in a miserable situation. Since Uncle Tao negotiated a rights agreement for male adults in the New Territories with the government more than ten years ago, his prestige in the New Territories has soared in recent years. The fresh food slaughterhouse and pig farm he runs have made him a lot of money. Lu Jinqiang and his men are his top henchmen, so Uncle Tao should at least give them some benefits. This old man is too stingy.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dong Si shook his head and said, "Actually, Lu Jinqiang and the others are pretty good, right? Back then, they were so poor that they had no food to eat. When it rained, it would rain heavily inside if it drizzled outside. These years with Uncle Tao, although we haven't made a lot of money, we've lived a pretty good life. At least everyone has built a new three-story house, and Lu Jinqiang even sold a new car for over 400,000 yuan. From this perspective, Uncle Tao isn't really stingy."

Dong Si hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yongqiang, the Ghost Festival is coming in a few days. It's the day when your Lu family worships their ancestors. Are you going alone this time?"

When Lu Yongqiang heard Dong Siwen ask this, he secretly groaned in his heart.

In the past, only males were qualified to go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Lu family, and only males were qualified to participate in the ancestral worship.

But times have changed, and some rules have been modified. Family members can actually participate. Of course, women are still not qualified to enter the ancestral hall, but they can eat the banquet outside.

Every year when the Lu family holds a memorial ceremony for their ancestors, they would set up over a hundred tables for a buffet for everyone to eat and drink.

Generally, the people who attended the banquet were the close relatives of the male members of the Lu family. If an unmarried male brought a woman to participate in the ancestor worship, it meant that he had recognized the woman as his wife.

For a child like Lu Yongqiang who has no direct elders, taking his wife to participate in ancestor worship is equivalent to meeting the parents.

Lu Yongqiang wanted to take Dong Si with him, but if Le Huizhen knew about it, there would be a huge uproar.

Since Dong Si asked, it meant that she wanted to go together. If she refused directly, considering Dong Si's jealousy now, there would be trouble tonight.

Lu Yongqiang pondered for a moment and said, "Sisi, this ancestor worship ceremony may not be as peaceful as before. Something might happen.

I heard that Uncle Tao has been buying up Dingquan non-stop since the beginning of the year, and now he has acquired four or five hundred Dingquan. Now that the news that the government is going to build the Dingquan Building has come out, the price of Dingquan has skyrocketed. Those who sold their Dingquan before must be unwilling to accept this, and they are likely to cause trouble during this ancestor worship ceremony.

So this time, I will be attending the ancestral worship ceremony alone, and I will remind Ah Heng and the others not to bring their younger siblings along, otherwise they might not be able to take care of them."

After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, the smile on Dong Si's face immediately disappeared, but he did not lose his temper. He just said he was tired and went to take a shower.

Seeing Dong Si leave, Gangsheng whispered: "Brother Qiang, you are in trouble. Sister Sisi seems angry."

Seeing Gangsheng's gloating look, Lu Yongqiang was furious and slapped Gangsheng hard on the butt. Then he whispered, "Tonight, if your sister Sisi doesn't let me into her room, and you dare not let me into your room, then I'll show you how I'm going to deal with you."

Gangsheng rubbed the place where Lu Yongqiang had hit him and said dissatisfiedly, "You are only mean to me. If you have the ability, why don't you be mean to Sister Sisi?"

"Gangsheng, I've noticed that you've become more capable recently, right? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right here and now." As he spoke, Lu Yongqiang stretched out his hand to grab Gangsheng's arm, scaring him so much that he stepped back repeatedly.

…………

A few days later, Lu Yongqiang, Lu Yongheng, Dadong, Lu Hao and others went to the Lu family's old house together.

After arriving at the old house, Lu Hao left alone. He and Lu Yongqiang were not from the same branch, so he went to find his father.

They worshipped their ancestors and entered the ancestral hall one branch at a time.

Lu Yongqiang's branch belongs to the fifth branch of the Lu family. There are not many people in it, only about thirty households in total, and there are no outstanding figures. Lu Yongqiang is considered the most powerful person in the fifth branch.

However, Lu Yongqiang has an average relationship with Lanzuixiong, the leader of the fifth branch, but has a good relationship with the third branch, where Lu Hao is.

Apart from ancestor worship and tomb sweeping, Lu Yongqiang generally does not interact with people from the fifth room, but has a good relationship with many people from the third room.

After Lu Hao left, Lu Yongqiang took Lu Yongheng and Dadong to find a corner to squat. For the ancestor worship activities of the entire Lu family, no matter how awesome you are, as long as you meet someone of a higher generation, you have to call them by their name. If you meet someone older, it's okay to call them elders, but you are afraid of meeting someone who wears open-crotch pants. You have to flatter them and call them uncles. That's fucked up.

So every time there was a large clan meeting, Lu Yongqiang would squat in the corner.

In the past few years, when Lu Yongqiang had not yet made a name for himself, he was just a short mule in the society and was not liked by anyone, especially the older generation. Their faces changed immediately when they saw Lu Yongqiang and his group.

It was only in recent years that Lu Yongqiang became successful, and people stopped giving him a cold shoulder. Instead, many people took the initiative to chat with him.

Just as Lu Yongqiang and his companions found a secluded place and stayed there for a few minutes, they were immediately surrounded by people.

In an occasion like today, even if Lu Yongqiang felt annoyed, he couldn't get angry. He could only bite the bullet and deal with it, chatting with the old and young men.

Suddenly, the crowd surrounding Lu Yongqiang and his companions was separated, and a slightly bald old man in his fifties walked in with a few people through the crowd.

"Qiangzi, I thought you weren't here yet? Why are you hiding here instead of going to the ancestral hall?"

The person who came was the leader of the second branch of the Lu family, named Lu Hanjiu. The Lu family usually called him Uncle Jiu. His prestige in the Lu family was enough to compete with Lu Hantao. Of course, it was just a competition. In fact, he had always been suppressed by Lu Hantao.

“There are too many people at the ancestral hall, so I won’t join in the fun.

Uncle Jiu, aren't you in charge of the situation over there? Why are you here too? "

Lu Hanjiu put his arm around Lu Yongqiang's shoulders affectionately, and then said, "Qiangzi, Uncle Jiu came here specifically to see you. You are knowledgeable and experienced, and we have something to discuss with you."

As he spoke, he hugged Lu Yongqiang and walked towards the ancestral hall.

After walking a few steps, Lu Hanjiu seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head, glanced at Lu Yongheng, and said, "Hengzi, I heard that you are now the chairman of a large company with thousands of employees. Why don't you come with us to the ancestral hall? It's a good opportunity for us to come up with some ideas."

In fact, Lu Yongqiang was not willing to go to the ancestral hall. There was no need to guess, he must be discussing the issue of Ding Quan.

Lu Hantao has bought four to five hundred Ding rights since the beginning of the year. Now that the news of the Dingwu Building has come out, the price of Ding rights has more than doubled. The Ding rights that were previously worth more than 100,000 yuan each are now worth nearly 300,000 yuan.

With such a huge price difference, there must be people who are dissatisfied. Today is the day to worship our ancestors, and everyone is here, so we must talk about this first.

What can I say? If it's really for the good of the Lu family, Lu Yongqiang should advise everyone not to sell their Ding rights for the time being, and not to sell their land for the time being. Let's wait and see for a while, and there should be another wave of increases later.

But if I really say that, I will offend Lu Hantao. Lu Yongqiang is also planning to get a share of the Dingquan Building business. It is not worth it to offend Lu Hantao.

However, if you persuade everyone to sell their rights as a tenant, you will inevitably be scolded in the future. Just like in the plot, many people scold Lu Hantao and his gang for being ungrateful of their ancestors and being sinners in the family.

But now, in front of so many people, Lu Hanjiu came personally to call people. If Lu Yongqiang didn't go, it would really be unreasonable. He could only follow Lu Hanjiu to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was not far from here, and they arrived at the hall in four or five minutes.

Hundreds of people have gathered in the open space in front of the ancestral hall. Behind the crowd, Lu Yongqiang can hear the voice of Lu Yaoxiong, the leader of the fifth branch.

"Lu Hantao, you're the head of the Lu family. What are you doing now? At the beginning of the year, you had Jin Qiang and the others go around buying up everyone's Ding rights. It hasn't been that long, and you're suggesting building a Dingwu building. Now the price of Ding rights has more than doubled. If you're not scheming against your own people, what are you doing?"
