Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

When Dao Zai Qing proposed exchanging territories, everyone thought he had lost his mind. It was like trading a watermelon for a sesame seed. This deal would be a huge loss.

Even Lu Yongqiang thought so at the time, but in the end, Dao Zai Qing made a lot of money, while Wuliang was badly cheated.

Less than half a year after Dao Zai Qing and Wu Liang exchanged land, Aberdeen saw a major development, with several real estate companies investing tens of billions of dollars to build two commercial buildings.

As the local boss there, Daozaiqing can't say that he can get a share of this big project, but it is not a problem for him to get some benefits from these big companies.

Dao Zai Qing is also pragmatic. He started out helping these big companies do thankless work like demolition. Now he has a construction team of three to four hundred people and a construction machinery rental company with dozens of construction machines.

Although Daozi Qing cannot be said to be making a fortune now, he is living a pretty good life, especially since he has found a backer and has the support of several big bosses. As the saying goes, it is nice to take shelter under a big tree. As long as Daozi Qing does not do anything stupid and honestly follows the big bosses behind him, he will be able to make a name for himself.

But Wuliang was in a miserable situation. After he went to Sai Wan, he made a lot of money in the red light district in Shek Tong Tsui at first. However, in less than a year, the police began to crack down, and the red light district in Shek Tong Tsui was the main target of the police.

Now the flesh trade in Shek Tong Tsui has almost all moved underground. Even so, the police still have to go there to check every now and then. The unscrupulous men are often invited back by the police for tea, and they have to pay a lot of bail every month.

Wuliang was unscrupulous and didn't know how to adapt. After his place was cleared out, he had no other choice but to look for Jiang Tiansheng.

Jiang Tiansheng wasn't as kind to him as everyone imagined, and basically didn't pay much attention to him. So Wuliang's life was really hard now.

In addition to being unscrupulous, Chen Haonan's life is not easy either.

The Causeway Bay branch is considered the most prosperous branch of all the Hung Hing branches, and has always been considered a piece of fat meat.

Chen Haonan is in charge of the Causeway Bay gang. Logically speaking, his life should be easy.

But the bad thing is that the police have been cracking down recently, and the several small casinos that Chen Haonan is in charge of have all been raided by the police. The losses of these small casinos alone have reduced the income of the Causeway Bay gang by almost one-third.

In addition to the incidents in several small casinos, several bars and nightclubs that Chen Haonan was in charge of were also affected to some extent.

Let me put it this way, most of the nightclubs run by Hung Hing in Causeway Bay are old places that have been in business for seven or eight years. Back then, these nightclubs were handed over to Big B, who didn't know much about management. These nightclubs relied entirely on the princesses and hostesses in the venue to attract customers.

Later, Big B got into trouble and these nightclubs fell into the hands of Chen Haonan. Chen Haonan realized that these venues were a bit old and wanted to renovate them, but he had no money.

Moreover, the Causeway Bay gang is considered to be Jiang Tiansheng's territory. Although Chen Haonan is the leader of Causeway Bay, in reality, he is just the person in charge appointed by Jiang Tiansheng, and the territory here is not his.

So at that time, Chen Haonan reported the situation to Jiang Tiansheng, saying that the venue was too old and could not keep up with the current environment. Many customers said that the nightclub environment here was too bad and no other venue looked as comfortable. He wanted Jiang Tiansheng to pay some money to renovate all the nightclubs.

However, Jiang Tiansheng was reluctant to pay the money, and actually brought the matter to Zhongyi Hall to discuss it, wanting to pay the money from the society's public account.

The problem of old nightclubs is not only a problem in the Causeway Bay branch, but also in other branches. If they are to be renovated, it will certainly not only be the Causeway Bay branch that will be renovated, but the other branches will also have to be renovated.

In the entire Hongxing, there are probably no less than a hundred nightclubs in total. Apart from the nightclubs privately opened by the bosses, there are probably no less than fifty nightclubs opened by societies or in cooperation with societies.

If all of these nightclubs were to be renovated, the average cost for each would be 500,000 yuan. For more than 50 nightclubs, the total cost would be 25 million yuan.

Naturally, some people were unwilling to pay such a large sum of money. The matter was debated in Zhongyi Hall for three months, but no consensus could be reached, and the matter was finally left unresolved.

The police have been cracking down recently, and all the major nightclubs are the hardest hit areas. The police come to check ID cards every now and then. Naturally, the Hongxing side will not commit crimes in defiance of the law. Now in the major nightclubs, there are almost only hostesses. As for other illegal transactions, almost everyone has to go out and find a place to do it themselves.

Under such circumstances, the business of nightclubs will naturally be affected. The nightclubs in Causeway Bay originally relied on princesses to attract customers. Now without these princesses, the business has been greatly affected.

The income of the Causeway Bay gang was originally supposed to be handed over to the society at 30%, and then to Jiang Tiansheng at 40%, leaving only 30% in the hands of Chen Haonan.

With this 30% income, Chen Haonan still has to support one or two thousand subordinates. If it really falls into his hands, he will get less than 10% of it.

Now that the income has shrunk significantly, Chen Haonan's income has naturally shrunk significantly. Now the income of the gang is not enough for Chen Haonan to support his subordinates, and he needs to pay money from his own private account every month.

After all, Chen Haonan's rise to prominence was too short, and he now only owns a bar and a freight company.

The bar is still in partnership with Shan Ji, and half of the profits will go to Shan Ji.

As for the freight company, it is called a company, but in fact it is just a makeshift team that is only responsible for the transportation of alcohol and beverages to several nightclubs in Causeway Bay.

Originally, Chen Haonan was in charge of this gang. Logically, he should have become the beverage supplier for this nightclub. This was a hidden income for being the boss, and it was income that did not need to be paid to the gang.

But Jiang Tiansheng has an ugly eating habit, so he would naturally not let go of such fat meat as liquor wholesale.

Shortly after Jiang Tiansheng first became the leader, he established a liquor wholesale company. At the time, virtually all of the Hongxing gangs would receive a batch of liquor from this wholesale company every month. Some gangs even relied on Jiang Tiansheng for their entire supply of liquor. In terms of liquor, Jiang Tiansheng essentially pocketed most of the profits.

This situation did not change until Leung Kun became the leader of the Hongxing gang. At that time, Leung Kun was focused on the flour business and looked down on the wholesale of liquor.

Just because he looked down on it didn't mean others didn't either. At that time, all the major gangs had started their own liquor wholesale companies.

Later, after Liang Kun got into trouble, Jiang Tiansheng came to power again, but naturally, no one wanted to spit out the meat they had already eaten.

At that time, Jiang Tiansheng was so focused on suppressing Han Bin and Lu Yongqiang that he didn't care about the wholesale of liquor. Since he didn't mention it, no one else mentioned it, and the matter remained like this.

But it’s different over there in Causeway Bay. It’s Jiang Tiansheng’s gang, so naturally Chen Haonan has nothing to do with the liquor wholesale business. It’s directly taken over by Jiang Tiansheng’s liquor wholesale company.

Jiang Tiansheng was probably afraid that Chen Haonan might have some ideas, so he gave him a sweet treat, which was to give a freight company under his name directly to Chen Haonan.

It was just called a freight company, but in reality, the entire company consisted of two small trucks, a van, and a small rented warehouse. Their business had always been to deliver goods for Jiang Tiansheng's liquor wholesale company. The entire company was worth no more than one million.

Although the company was small, Chen Haonan was not picky. Of course, he was not qualified to be picky at that time. After all, he had just become the boss and his entire family assets were probably less than 100,000 yuan.

After Chen Haonan took over the freight company, he had been running it well, but the time was too short. Although the company is bigger now and has seven or eight small trucks, it is still too small and the monthly income is limited.

Ever since the police started their crackdown, Chen Haonan's finances have been almost always in the red, and he has to pay money from his personal account to support his subordinates almost every month.

If this situation lasted only three or two months, Chen Haonan would be able to hold on, but now half a year has passed and the situation has not improved at all. No one knows what will happen next. Chen Haonan's family is not well-off, so naturally he can't hold on any longer. I heard that he has been going to Jiang Tiansheng's villa frequently recently, and from time to time he goes to Chen Yao to complain about his poverty.

As for the Crown Prince and Ma Wangjian, the severe crackdown by the police did have some impact on them, but the impact was not great.

The boxing match organized by Taizi, Xiyan, Ma Wangjian and Wuliang was so successful that it attracted gangsters from several Southeast Asian countries. Originally, this was a good thing. If everyone had behaved themselves and focused on making the boxing match bigger and stronger, they might have really made a career.

But at that time, everyone was focused on making money through illegal means and engaged in various boxing gambling activities. Not only did they engage in boxing gambling business privately, but they also organized large-scale gambling games worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Finally, a big gunfight broke out in Las Vegas, resulting in hundreds of casualties.

Despite such a big incident, the boxing matches were held as usual a few years later, but they had little to do with the gangsters. The government was directly responsible for it and it began to be formalized.

In this situation, Xiyan stopped paying attention to the boxing match and began to develop towards the mainland. Ma Wangjian and Wuliang felt that this matter was not profitable, so they no longer paid attention to it.

Only the prince never gave up boxing. Later, he merged the boxing gyms under his name and formed a boxing club. In the past two years, the prince's boxing club has trained many famous boxers.

There are now nearly a hundred boxers in the Prince's boxing club, and the boxing gym under the club has thousands of apprentices. Gyms under his name are also doing a booming business because of the fame brought by the boxers.

Now the prince focuses his main energy on his boxing club and he doesn't care too much about other businesses.
