Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Due to the influence of community culture in Hong Kong, boxing gyms have always been very popular. There are countless boxing gyms of all sizes. Famous boxers are actually very popular. Not only can they participate in various competitions and win large bonuses, they can also work as coaches in boxing gyms and are more likely to receive various endorsements.

Just like several boxers under Prince, each of them now has two or three endorsements. Although the endorsement fees are not high, the number is large, and the total amount is not a small amount.

What's more, the prince used the fame of these boxers to develop boxing gyms and fitness centers under his name, which brought him even more income.

As for Ma Wangjian, although the police are now cracking down on underground black lottery, Ma Wangjian has always used offshore operations, so the funds flow to overseas accounts. The police can only catch the small or large boats doing business, and it is difficult to catch Ma Wangjian, the mastermind behind the scenes.

Ma Wangjian has been doing underground black lottery for more than ten years. As long as he wins the prize, no matter how much the jackpot is, Ma Wangjian will generally redeem the prize, which also makes Ma Wangjian have a good reputation.

Although the police have cracked down on illegal lottery activities very hard, it has not had much impact on Ma Wangjian.

Speaking of which, Ma Wangjian is the real sixth in Hongxing.

Before, Lu Yongqiang always thought that Ma Wangjian was dealing in contraband and human traffickers, because he was very similar to Zhao Tai in Tuen Mun. On the surface, he opened a pawn shop in Chai Wan, but in fact, he would accept all kinds of valuable contraband of unknown origin, from small items such as gold and silver jewelry to various luxury cars. As long as it was a valuable item, Ma Wangjian would take it all.

However, the police have recently cracked down on underground illegal gambling, and many boat operators have been arrested in Chai Wan. As a result, the underground illegal gambling leader Ma Wangjian was exposed.

That's how everyone discovered that Ma Wangjian, who had always been low-key, was actually a nobody, and he actually had a huge underground black lottery group under his control.

If you think about it for a while, you will find that this old fox Ma Wangjian has been involved in so many illegal lottery businesses that he is probably worth a lot of money now. Among the thirteen leaders of Hongxing, perhaps only Lu Yongqiang and Xiyan can surpass him. Even Han Bin, who has always been high-profile, may not be as rich as Ma Wangjian.

Having money gives you confidence. This is also the reason why Ma Wangjian dared to challenge Xiyan even when Jiang Tiansheng had to give him some ground.

Among the leaders of the Hongxing, apart from Chen Haonan and Wuliang who are having a hard time, there is actually another person who is also having a hard time, and that is Da Fei.

By some strange coincidence, Da Fei monopolized the entire Wong Tai Sin area. This expanded territory was both a good and a bad thing.

The good thing is naturally that the territory is larger. After all, a larger territory means an increase in income.

But the disadvantage is that the territory is too large. After all, if you want to cover such a large territory, you can't do without enough subordinates.

The more subordinates you have, the more expenses you will incur. After all, these subordinates also need to eat, drink, defecate, and urinate. You can't let the horse run without letting it eat grass...

The entire Wong Tai Sin area was not conquered by Da Fei and his men, but was conquered by the society. According to the society's rules, the territory was conquered by the society, and in the first three years the society would take 70% of the profits, and the remaining 30% would be Da Fei's income.

Wong Tai Sin District is not a prosperous place like Yau Tsim Mong and Causeway Bay. Although its economy is generally more developed than that of the New Territories, it is still not that much better. There is not even a formal or luxurious nightclub in the entire Wong Tai Sin District. The few nightclubs are old and small, and their monthly income can only reach tens or hundreds of millions at most.

Of course, the Wong Tai Sin district does not only generate income from nightclubs, but also from protection fees and other hidden sources of income. Small casinos, loan sharking companies, and Ma Lam businesses also generate a certain amount of income.

Overall, the entire Wong Tai Sin district can make at least hundreds of millions or even tens of millions every month. Even if 70% is handed over to the society, Da Fei can still get a lot, and it will be no problem to support the thousands of subordinates.

But this was only the situation before the crackdown. After the crackdown, the gray income from casinos, marinas, and loan sharking companies decreased accordingly. With the overall income decreasing, Dafei naturally had less money in his hands. However, he still had as many subordinates as before, which meant that the expenses were still the same as before. As a result, Dafei's life became difficult. The income from the Wong Tai Sin district was no longer enough for Dafei to support his subordinates.

Now Da Fei is still in charge of the casino in Aodao. With the income from there, Da Fei is not short of money for the time being. But now it is almost the end of the year. After the new year, if he hands over the casino business in Aodao, there will definitely be problems on Da Fei's side. In the end, he will probably end up like Chen Haonan and have to pay money from his own private account to support his younger brothers.

Da Fei's family background is not much richer than Chen Haonan's, and he doesn't have many properties under his name. If he really uses money from his own private account to support his younger brothers, Da Fei probably won't be able to hold on for long.

So recently Lu Yongan heard some news that Jiang Tiansheng intends to take over the gambling hall on the Australian Island and the society will be directly responsible for its management in the future. As for who will be in charge of watching the place over there, the society will come forward to coordinate manpower. It is very likely that the society will pay a gang to send someone to watch the place. At that time, after deducting the expenses of hiring someone to watch the place, the remaining income from the Australian Island will all be deposited into the public account.

If this is really done, except for the gangs like Lu Yongqiang, Prince, and Thirteenth Sister who are about to take their turn, others may really agree, especially the veterans of the society. They may agree with it wholeheartedly. After all, with more money in the public account, their dividends at the end of the year will also increase accordingly.

According to the society's previous rules, Lu Yongqiang will be responsible for the business on Macau Island next year, the year after next it will be the Prince's turn, and the year after that it will be the Thirteenth Sister's turn. If they really do this, Lu Yongqiang will suffer the most, and he will directly lose tens of millions next year.

Lu Yongqiang only heard the news about this from the prince, who said that Jiang Tiansheng was testing his attitude. It was not certain whether this matter would be brought up for discussion in the end.

The prince told Lu Yongqiang about this matter intentionally to inform Lu Yongqiang so that he could be prepared and everyone could reach a consensus in private first so as not to be caught off guard by Jiang Tiansheng.

It was because of this news that Lu Yongqiang decided to come to the meeting today. Of course, he was also really bored recently.

After a while of chatting and laughing, it was almost time for the meeting. By then, the people from the branch halls had almost all arrived, but three of the thirteen main halls were missing. Those from the Wong Tai Sin, Causeway Bay, and Sham Shui Po halls hadn't arrived yet. Not only were Da Fei, Chen Haonan, and Liang Ma nowhere to be seen, but none of their subordinates were there either...

Lu Yongqiang checked the time on his wrist and asked in confusion, "Is it so easy to hold a meeting now? If the gang leader doesn't come, can we just not send a representative?"

As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Fatty Li took over. He said with a hint of sarcasm, "It's not that they won't come. They are different from us now. They are Mr. Jiang's confidants. But they come to the meeting with Mr. Jiang, so they don't have to rush over early and wait like us."

As Fatty Li finished speaking, Da Fei's voice was heard outside Zhongyi Hall.

"Fatty Li, there's no need to be so sarcastic. The meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. No one requires you to arrive early. You can come at your own time as long as you're not late."

As he spoke, Da Fei had already walked into Zhongyi Hall. He pulled up a chair next to Fatty Li and sat down. Then, pointing at his watch, he continued, "It's only 9:50 now, and the meeting starts in ten minutes. I'm not late, so there's no need to be sarcastic and criticize me."

As Da Fei finished speaking, just as everyone was whispering and discussing, Jiang Tiansheng and his men strode into the Zhongyi Hall with their heads held high. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, his steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to carry a tremendous force.

Following closely beside him was the shrewd and capable Chen Yao, whose face was serious and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's.

Following closely behind are Chen Haonan and his pretty mother.

Chen Haonan was wearing a black suit, the straight lines of which perfectly outlined his strong physique; his face was stern, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an invisible pressure.

The beautiful mother was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam. She was graceful and elegant in every gesture, but her eyes also flashed with shrewdness and courage.

Behind the four of them, two burly, solemn-looking bodyguards followed closely. Both were well-trained and exuded a powerful aura that dared not be underestimated.

With this, the group entered the Loyalty Hall with a fierce and imposing manner. With their entry, the originally noisy Loyalty Hall instantly quieted down, and everyone's attention was focused on them.

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and nodded to everyone in the room, then said, "Lao Li, next time we have a meeting, if you find it too quiet here, you can come sit over at my place first. It will be more lively when everyone comes over. I've never turned you away."

As he was speaking, Jiang Tiansheng had already walked to the front of the long table. Chen Yao pulled out a chair for him. After Jiang Tiansheng sat down, Chen Yao pulled out a chair next to him and sat down.

When Jiang Tiansheng sat down, the pretty mother and Chen Haonan also found a seat and sat down.

After everyone settled in, Jiang Tiansheng's sharp, hawk-like gaze slowly swept over everyone seated around the long conference table. When his gaze finally landed on Lu Yongqiang, it froze for a moment, and it seemed as if the atmosphere in the entire conference room had grown solemn in that instant.

However, just a moment later, a faint smile reappeared on Jiang Tiansheng's face. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a tone that seemed relaxed but actually carried a bit of deep meaning: "Hey, Qiangzi, you are such a busy man, usually you are rarely seen. If I count the time, you haven't come to our meeting for several months! I didn't expect you to find time today. It's really rare!"
