Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

When Tong Keren said she would teach her how to change the cards, Lu Yongqiang was not interested. But when it came to the matter of loans, Lu Yongqiang immediately became interested. He had borrowed a lot of money from HSBC, which added up to almost 1 billion yuan. This time he wanted to borrow another 400 million yuan from HSBC. HSBC would not refuse to lend him the money, but Lu Yongheng had talked to them several times and failed to get a satisfactory annual interest rate.

After Tong Keren finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang said, "Ms. Tong, I'm borrowing 400 million Hong Kong dollars in the name of Ju Haochi Food Company for two years. I wonder what annual interest rate Tong's International can give me."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Tong Keren thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, we are friends after all. How about an annual interest rate of 10%?"

Lu Yongqiang shook his head and said, "HSBC gave me 10%. If you can give me 8%, Miss Tong, we can have a long-term partnership."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Tong Keren thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, can we wait for our company to discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Lu Yongqiang said, "Of course, no problem. Miss Tong, you can talk to Ah Heng about the details later. I will call Ah Heng and tell him."

After sending Tong Keren home, Lu Yongqiang sent Le Huizhen home.

"Ah Zhen, where are you going? Are you going back to your Le family's old house, or to Mong Kok?"

The house in Mong Kok is the one that Le Huizhen bought herself. Le Huizhen spends half of her time back at the old house to accompany her parents, and the other half of her time living in Mong Kok, enjoying a life without family supervision.

Le Huizhen glanced at Lu Yongqiang and said, "Do you want to go home tonight? If so, then take me back to the old house. If you don't want to leave, then we can go to Mong Kok. It's still early, so let's go shopping in Temple Street."

Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and said, "We're not going back tonight. Let's go to Temple Street now."

Lu Yongqiang drove to the vicinity of Temple Street, found a place to park the car, and the two of them began to stroll slowly.

Le Huizhen really doesn't have the temper of a spoiled daughter. Although she often goes shopping in luxury stores, she doesn't mind small stalls and vendors. She can eat her fill even at a roadside stall.

When Lu Yongqiang first started to build the snack street, he asked Le Huizhen to help promote it. At that time, he was afraid that Le Huizhen would dislike the uncleanness of the street stalls. Unexpectedly, she didn't mind at all. As long as the food tasted good, she would still eat it with relish.

Temple Street is now jointly managed by two associations, He Liansheng and Zhong Xinyi. One of these associations is engaged in flour business and the other is engaged in flesh trade. After Temple Street came into their hands, it was originally a special street selling various affordable goods, but now it has developed two characteristics.

In the half of the street occupied by He Liansheng, in addition to the various small stalls and vendors that have been operating in the past, there are now many streetwalkers.

Every few meters, there is a heavily made-up woman. As long as she sees a man without a female companion, she will come over to solicit customers. Because of the existence of these streetwalkers, many men come here to have fun. Although these women are old and not very beautiful, they are cheap and suitable for poor people to have fun.

Now this half of the street seems more lively than before.

However, in the half of the street occupied by Zhongxinyi, there were many more fans, which attracted many fellow Taoists to come here to buy goods.

When there are too many fellow Taoists, public security will be difficult to improve. Not only will there be petty thefts, but some people become addicted and even resort to robbery in order to get money to buy goods.

If the security in a place is poor, there will naturally be fewer tourists. Compared with the half street on the Heliansheng side, the half street on the Zhongxinyi side seems a bit deserted.

The person who is in charge of He Liansheng here is called Fei Chao, who is considered the leader of Dongguanzi. He is quite capable and is afraid that those Taoist friends will affect his business. Fei Chao sends a lot of people to patrol the streets every day. Once he finds Fanzi and Taoist friends, he will drive them away immediately. If he finds them several times, he may even take action.

Because of this, there have been many conflicts between Liansheng and Zhongxinyi recently. Although both sides have been relatively restrained and have not escalated the conflicts, the accumulation of small conflicts over time has made the relationship between the two sides increasingly tense.

However, Lu Yongqiang had some bad luck in his travel today. He unexpectedly encountered a big conflict between He Liansheng and Zhong Xinyi. Each side had gathered one or two hundred people. Now three or four hundred people gathered in the middle of the street, making noise and pushing each other. Outside these people, there were hundreds of citizens watching the excitement.

Several patrol police were very nervously controlling the situation between the two sides to prevent them from actually fighting.

From the outside, it looked like a few policemen were surrounded by hundreds of dwarf mules.

Le Huizhen is a person with a strong sense of justice, and now she is a police officer. Seeing this situation, she immediately squeezed into the crowd, and Lu Yongqiang couldn't stop her.

There was no other way. Lu Yongqiang couldn't abandon his woman, so he could only follow Le Huizhen and squeeze into the crowd with her.

The two parties in conflict were Fei Chao from Heliansheng and Lian Haodong, Lian Haolong's younger brother, from Zhongxinyi.

Although several patrol officers tried their best to control the situation, there were too many dwarfs around them. When Lu Yongqiang and Le Huizhen squeezed into the crowd, several patrol officers were surrounded by four or five dwarfs respectively. Fei Chao and Lian Haolong started arguing and pushing each other. They looked very excited, but they were trying their best to control their emotions.

In fact, it was not the second half of the night, but around eight or nine in the evening. Temple Street itself is a night market street, so it was very busy. There were quite a few people watching nearby. Although both sides were noisy and pushing each other fiercely, they basically did not really fight.

Another point is that this is their own territory after all. If they make a big fuss and irritate the police, both gangs will be in trouble in the end.

After many foreigners left the Hong Kong Police Force and the Chinese took power, the police are no longer the same as before. Their attitude towards gangs has become increasingly aggressive. Many gangs have temporarily avoided the spotlight and try their best not to provoke the police if possible.

So these dwarf mules surrounded the patrol policemen, but did not take any further action. They just surrounded them to prevent them from interrupting the conversation between Fei Chao and Lian Haodong.

However, Le Huizhen was afraid that her colleagues would suffer, so after squeezing into the crowd, she immediately shouted, "What are you doing? Stop it now." While shouting, she also began to push the short mules surrounding the patrol police.

Few of the short mules in the underworld have good tempers. When they were pushed by a beautiful woman for no reason, they could not bear it. Some of them immediately fought back, and their fight was done with a teasing intent, and they even reached out their hands to Le Huizhen's chest.

Lu Yongqiang naturally would not stand by and watch his woman being taken advantage of, so he raised his foot and kicked the short mule who wanted to take advantage of her, kicking him away.

After kicking the person, Lu Yongqiang grabbed Le Huizhen and pulled her behind him. Then, ignoring the short mules surrounding them, he shouted directly at Fei Chao and Lian Haodong, "Fei Chao, Lian Haodong, I don't care whose man this is, but you'd better keep an eye on him. Don't stretch your claws around casually, otherwise I will chop off these unwanted claws."

Fei Chao and Lian Haodong noticed the commotion happening on Lu Yongqiang's side, and when Lu Yongqiang was speaking, they recognized him as Lu Yongqiang.

The person who just wanted to take advantage of Le Huizhen was Lian Haodong's man, and the people surrounding Lu Yongqiang now are also Lian Haodong's men.

Lian Haodong was also shocked when he saw Lu Yongqiang's ferocious expression. Seeing his men surrounding Lu Yongqiang, Lian Haodong didn't care about Fei Chao and immediately shouted, "Get out of the way, get the hell out of the way." As he spoke, he pushed away the people in front of him and walked to Lu Yongqiang.

Lian Haodong raised his hand and slapped the short mule that Lu Yongqiang had just kicked down, then cursed fiercely, "Are your eyes made of glass beads? You don't even know Mr. Lu from Tuen Mun. Who gave you the courage to offer your paw to Mr. Lu? Don't you want that paw anymore?"

"Mr. Lu, I apologize for not recognizing you."

Before Lian Haodong could finish his words and before Lu Yongqiang could say anything, Le Huizhen stepped out from behind Lu Yongqiang, waving a piece of ID in front of Lian Haodong before saying, "Probationary Inspector Le Huizhen of the New Territories North Region."

"Lian Haodong, right? What are your men doing surrounding these brothers? Are they going to attack the police?"

After Le Huizhen finished speaking, Lian Haodong did not say anything, but looked at Lu Yongqiang.

Lian Haodong doesn't want to provoke Lu Yongqiang, but he is not afraid of Le Huizhen, a trainee inspector.

In Hong Kong City, a trainee inspector is already considered a small leader among the police. This identity is enough to intimidate ordinary dwarf mules, but it has no deterrent effect on Lian Haodong.

Although Lian Haodong was a womanizer, a gambler, and lacked any real ability, he had a good brother, Lian Haolong, so he was quite well-known on the Hong Kong Road and was considered a top figure. To intimidate him, one would need at least an Inspector or Senior Inspector on the police side, and someone with real power who could lead a team. A sinecure wouldn't be very intimidating.

Lu Yongqiang reached out and grabbed Le Huizhen, pulling her to his side. He then said, "Lian Haodong, this is downtown. If you don't want to cause trouble for your brother, it's best to have your people not surround the police officers. Otherwise, if the police really think that Zhongxinyi is provoking them, then Zhongxinyi will be in trouble."

Lian Haodong frowned when Lu Yongqiang said this. Although he was dissatisfied with Lu Yongqiang's words of teaching, he still waved his hand to let his men move aside and stop surrounding the patrol policemen.

After seeing the people around them walk away, several patrol policemen immediately walked over to Lu Yongqiang. They first saluted Le Huizhen, and then mistakenly thought that Lu Yongqiang was also a cop, so they saluted Lu Yongqiang and called him "senior brother".

Lu Yongqiang didn't deny it, but just nodded at them, then said to Le Huizhen: "This is a downtown area, and it's only a little after 8 o'clock in the evening. They can't fight. If they really dare to do it, they will be asking for trouble.

Next time, can you please not be so impulsive? You dare to squeeze into the crowd without even understanding the situation clearly. With your behavior, I think you should quit being a police officer."
