Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Just as Joyce said, many people have their eyes on these taxi license plates. Among the 500 license plates in the New Territories alone, seven or eight companies have their eyes on them. But now there are only two companies left in the open: one is Camel from Dongxing, and the other is a wealthy businessman named Huang.

As time drew closer to 1997, many senior white police officers had been transferred out of Hong Kong, and now the Chinese were gradually taking control of the police force.

The transfer of these foreigners has led to more and more vacancies in the senior positions of the police. In order to gain enough credit to occupy high positions, many police have set their sights on large and small gangs, and the crackdown on the gangs has become increasingly severe, especially those gangs that sell powder, which are the main targets of the police.

Dongxing’s main income has always come from the flour business. Even if some people have invested in other industries, they are not large-scale and can only be considered small-scale.

Just like Jinmaohu, he owns a decoration company, which has been established for six or seven years, but Jinmaohu did not focus his main energy on this company. After a few years, there was almost no change in the company.

He could make some money, but it was not enough to support Golden Haired Tiger's thousands of subordinates.

Golden Tiger's main source of income still depends on the flour business.

There is also Situ Haonan, who runs many boxing gyms and fitness centers and is also engaged in the fake goods business, but most of his income still comes from the flour business.

In the past six months, Tung Sing's shipments have decreased significantly, and many of its warehouses have been shut down by the police. Although it did not cause any serious damage to Tung Sing, it was enough to make many people in Tung Sing feel the pain. This is also the reason why Tung Sing set its sights on Yau Ma Tei last time, which was to open up the market in Yau Tsim Mong.

In the last gang war, not only did Tung Sing not gain any advantage in Yau Tsim Mong, but Crow was also forced to surrender shortly afterwards. Because of Crow's involvement, many people from Tung Sing were arrested.

After Crow surrendered himself, not only did Dongxing lose two warehouses, but the police also found Dongxing's bulk cargo channels and wiped out an entire fresh produce delivery line.

With its warehouse cleared and its bulk cargo channels lost, Tung Sing had no choice but to start all over again. More than half a month ago, Tung Sing bought several minibus routes in Yuen Long and Southern District and established a passenger transport company. It now uses passenger minibuses to deliver goods.

However, the passenger transport company is not big and has too few minibus lines, which limits the delivery channels, so they decided to use taxis.

The wealthy businessman surnamed Huang is called Huang Qiming. He is the behind-the-scenes boss of Wang Bao in Sha Tin District. Most of Wang Bao’s businesses are invested by Huang Qiming.

Huang Qiming bid for the taxi license plate and probably handed it over to Wang Bao for management.

There are many advantages to running a taxi company. First, it's a guaranteed profit. Second, it can provide for the livelihoods of many of my subordinates. Third, it's a legitimate business, so the police won't keep a close eye on it.

This is just the apparent benefit. If a fan-selling group like Dongxing were to run a taxi company, it would be equivalent to having a relatively convenient delivery channel.

Although Wang Bao is not a big dealer in the powder business, his business is very diverse, including pornography, gambling, and drugs. Wang Bao wants to obtain a batch of taxi licenses, and he may also intend to use taxis to deliver goods.

People in the society naturally don't follow the rules too much when doing things. Since Luotuo and Wang Bao want to get these license plates, they naturally won't let other competitors ruin their plans.

Before Lu Yongqiang joined the game, Luotuo and Wang Bao had already reached a tacit understanding that the two companies would divide the batch of license plates. As for the other companies that were interested in participating in the auction, they had all been eliminated by the two of them.

As for Lu Yongqiang, after he got the news from Jiang Tiansheng, he was careless and did not think that other gangs would target this business.

Now people have already thought that it is a sure deal, and naturally they are not happy about Lu Yongqiang interfering.

Lu Yongqiang had just made contact with the foreigner Joyce, and before he could be happy for a few days, Wang Bao and Dongxing came to him together.

Wang Bao came in person, while Lei Yaoyang came in person to represent Dongxing.

On this day, Dong Si, Gang Sheng and Le Huizhen did not have to go to work. Lu Yongqiang was too busy to handle them all, so he simply took the three women home to play mahjong together.

When Wang Bao and Lei Yaoyang came to the door, Lu Yongqiang and his friends were playing cards in full swing.

Wang Bao and Lei Yaoyang were so brave that they actually went straight to Lu Yongqiang's house.

When Lu Yongqiang heard Dadong say that the two were at the gate of the community, he was stunned.

Lu Yongqiang asked in disbelief, "Are you sure it's Wang Bao from Dadong and Lei Yaoyang from Dongxing?"

Dadong smiled and said, "Brother, when the gatekeeper of the residential complex came over to report the situation, I didn't believe it either. I went to the gate of the residential complex and took a look. It was indeed Wang Bao and Lei Yaoyang as you thought, not someone else pretending to be them.

Brother, they are waiting at the gate of the community now, should we let them in?"

Lu Yongqiang threw the mahjong on the table, stood up and said, "Since they have the courage to come to my house, if I don't let them in, it will make me look timid.

Dadong, take them to Building 2, I'll meet them there."

Dadong nodded, turned and left the room.

Lu Yongqiang said to the three women, "It seems that I can't play mahjong with you today. These two people came to me on their own initiative, so it must be no small matter.

What do you mean? Should I find you a playing partner, or should we just disband the game and let you go on with your life?

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dong Sichong said to Le Huizhen, who was sitting across from him, "Ah Zhen, you lost the most, so it's up to you to decide whether to end this card game. If you still want to continue, I'll call a card partner over. If we don't want to continue, then Ah Zhen, goodbye."

Today's card game was actually a bit unfair to Le Huizhen. Although no one was cheating, Dong Si and Gangsheng kept feeding cards to each other, especially Dong Si. She was very good at counting cards and often fed cards to Gangsheng.

Hong Sheng's luck was good today, and he always had big cards in his hand. After more than an hour of playing, Hong Sheng was the only one who won, while the other three were all losers. Of these, Le Huizhen lost the most, having lost nearly 100,000 yuan so far. This was due to Lu Yongqiang's occasional hand-offs. If Lu Yongqiang hadn't occasionally fed Le Huizhen cards, she would have lost even more miserably today.

Tens of thousands of yuan is not a lot, and Le Huizhen didn't take it to heart. But after hearing what Dong Si said, Le Huizhen was unhappy.

Le Huizhen said, "I don't have to go to work today, so it's okay for me to go back. Since Sister Sisi said so, let's continue the card game.

It's just this card pairing. If Sisi and Gangsheng don't mind, I can call a friend to come over."

Le Huizhen is not stupid either. Just now, she kept losing because of the cooperation between Dong Si and Gangsheng. If Dong Si called another one of his own, then it would be three against one, and she would probably lose even more miserably.

After Le Huizhen finished speaking, Dong Si smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright! Then Ah Zhen, call your friend! We'll wait for her to come over."

Dong Si turned to look at Lu Yongqiang who was still in the room and continued, "Alright! Go and do what you need to do! What? Are you worried about me?"

Lu Yongqiang smiled awkwardly and said, “What do I have to worry about?

It will probably take a while for Ah Zhen's friends to come over, so how about I ask Aunt Wang to come over and play a few games with you guys?"

Dong Si stood up and said, "No need to trouble Aunt Wang. I've been fighting for so long and I'm a little tired. Let's all take a break while we're waiting."

As he spoke, Dong Si walked to Lu Yongqiang and pushed him out of the house.

Being pushed out of the room abruptly, Lu Yongqiang could only leave with a wry smile, praying in his heart that the women would not cause any trouble.

Not long after arriving at Building No. 2, Dadong came over with Wang Bao and Lei Yaoyang.

Lu Yongqiang took the two of them into the study and asked someone to make them a cup of tea.

After the tea was brewed, Lu Yongqiang said, "You two are rare guests! What do you want to talk to me about?"

Lei Yaoyang and Wang Bao exchanged a glance, and Wang Bao said, "Aqiang, I heard rumors that you've set up a passenger transport company and are planning to purchase a batch of taxi license plates?"

Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "That's true. Isn't the Transportation Department going to release 1,000-yuan taxi license plates next month? I'm planning to buy some.

You two came to see me today, are you also interested in doing this business?"

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Lei Yaoyang said, "Boss Lu, we are indeed interested in doing this business, but it is not a sudden idea. We have been planning this last month. In order to be able to bid for these license plates, Boss Wang and I have put in a lot of effort.

We can't say this deal is a sure thing, but it's almost certain. You're interfering now, which is a bit unethical."

After Lei Yaoyang finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Lei Yaoyang, what do you mean by me being dishonest? The taxi business is not exclusive to you and Boss Wang. If you can do it, why can't I?

And you didn't tell me beforehand that you were interested in this business, and told me not to worry about it? Now you come here and accuse me of being dishonest. I want to know why it's dishonest.

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Lei Yaoyang said, "There were seven or eight companies initially interested in the 500 license plates in the New Territories, but now most of them have been eliminated by Boss Wang and I. And you're coming out now to take advantage of them? Are you doing this right?"

As Lei Yaoyang finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang sneered and said, "This time, the 500 license plates in the New Territories are auctioned at once. The transaction price should not be less than 150 million. Adding the price of 500 cars, it should cost more than 200 million to nearly 300 million to buy these 500 taxis.

I've heard that there are several companies in the New Territories preparing to bid for these cars, but do they have the financial resources to do so?

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Wang Bao said with a somewhat grim expression: "Why is the 500 yuan license plate auctioned at once? Shouldn't it be auctioned in several batches?

Boss Lu, who told you this news? Are you making it up to fool us?

In the past, when Hongcheng released license plates, the auction was basically one hundred yuan per license plate, but Lu Yongqiang's 30 million was not spent in vain. The reason why he required 500 license plates to be auctioned at the same time was to kick out those companies that were not strong enough at one time.
