Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "Uncle Xiang, you've hit the nail on the head. The relationship between me and Zhang Shun is indeed a little subtle.

Zhang Shun caused trouble for me for no reason, which put my life in danger. If I hadn't been lucky that day, I might have been shot in the head.

Originally, after catching Zhang Shun, I had no reason to let him go, but he offered too much, he actually gave me five million to buy my life.

All of you uncles and aunts know that I, Lu Yongqiang, don’t actually like fighting and killing, I just fucking like money. Zhang Shun gave me too much, so I had no choice but to let him go.

But if I let him go, I was afraid he'd cause me trouble again, and he was also afraid I'd take the money and bring me back. So he decided to join my guild. Now he was my disciple, and I couldn't bring myself to deal with him anymore. The past was completely over. And since I was his boss, he couldn't bring himself to cause me trouble again. Otherwise, he'd be breaking gang rules, and even if I could let him go, the society wouldn't.

Lu Yongqiang and Zhang Shun were just putting on a show today. If Zhang Shun really switched to Lu Yongqiang's side, some people would not be able to sleep well.

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, the old man spoke again, "Aqiang, according to what you said, your transfer is just a formality. Do you still need to pay the monthly dues?"

"Pay it! Why not?" As soon as the old man finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang couldn't wait to speak: "Since he joined our Hongxing and borrowed our Hongxing name, why shouldn't he pay?"

If given a choice, Lu Yongqiang certainly wouldn't want Zhang Shun to pay money to the society, but not paying is definitely not an option. The membership fee is just a nicer name, and in reality it is no different from paying protection money.

There are dozens of societies in Hong Kong City, and half of them are small societies secretly supported by some bigwigs from top societies. There are many benefits to supporting such small societies. In addition to not having to pay money to the societies, they can also be used as black gloves.

Zhang Shun is the black glove secretly supported by Dong Quan. There are some things that Dong Quan is not convenient to do, but Zhang Shun can do them, such as helping people transport and sell drugs.

Zhang Shun had a history of drug trafficking, and Lu Yongqiang only found out today. If he had known this earlier, he would definitely not have accepted Zhang Shun. However, by the time he found out, it was too late to regret. Many uncles and aunts had already come, and if he regretted it now, it would be difficult to explain to them.

But this is not impossible. Zhang Shun helped Liang Kun transport drugs several times. Now Liang Kun's industry has been upgraded. He no longer deals with heroin and opium, but methamphetamine and ecstasy. He has built his own processing plant and rarely asks Zhang Shun for help.

Although Zhang Shun personally handled the drug trafficking, the person Liang Kun contacted was not Zhang Shun, but Dong Quan. Now that Dong Quan is dead, Zhang Shun has the opportunity to escape.

As for the drug trafficking business, Zhang Shun did not get involved, but handed the business over to Lu Wuye. Speaking of which, Lu Wuye's transfer to Lu Yongqiang was actually related to the drug trafficking business.

Mr. Lu Wu has recently been targeted by the police from the Narcotics Investigation Division. He has thought about running away, but he is reluctant to give up his property in Gangcheng, so he finds Lu Yongqiang. As long as he works for Lu Yongqiang, he can lead the police to Lu Yongqiang, and he can have time to deal with his own property. If Lu Yongqiang is a little dumber, maybe they can put the blame of drug trafficking on Lu Yongqiang and let Lu Yongqiang take the blame for him.

Lu Yongqiang's rise to prominence was too short, and he didn't know a lot of information. For example, Lu Wuye was involved in drug trafficking, which Lu Yongqiang had no idea about. If Lu Wuye had deliberately plotted against him, Lu Yongqiang might have really fallen into the trap.

After knowing this, Lu Yongqiang was very fortunate. He was fortunate that he had made a deal with Yan Wu, and he was also fortunate that he still had some bottom line. So after secretly releasing Yan Wu, Lu Yongqiang did not tell Lu Wuye about this at all. The reason why Lu Yongqiang did this was that he was dissatisfied with Lu Wuye for having no bottom line and actually capturing people's wives and children, and even not letting go of two or three-year-old children.

Now that Master Lu Wu is dead, Zhang Shun can just pin the entire drug trafficking incident on him. As long as Zhang Shun is ruthless enough and kills all those who know about it, he can get away with completely clearing himself of any involvement in drug trafficking or transport.

Lu Yongqiang gave each of those uncles a red envelope, then treated them to a meal and sent them away.

After these uncles left, Lu Yongqiang immediately contacted Yan Wu.

Those who know that Zhang Shun is involved in drug trafficking are basically Zhang Shun's confidants. If Zhang Shun were to take action himself, he might not be able to do it. And if Lu Yongqiang does it for him, he is afraid that some people will slip through the net. After all, he doesn't know who Zhang Shun's confidants are.

But Yan Wu is different. This woman will not be merciful for the sake of her husband and children. As Zhang Shun's bedmate, she doesn't say that she knows Zhang Shun's situation clearly, but she definitely knows who Zhang Shun's confidants are. It is just right for her to take action.

After the matter was handed over to Yan Wu, Lu Yongqiang learned what a professional killer was the next day. In just one night, six of Zhang Shun's trusted subordinates who knew the truth were all killed.

Lu Yongqiang knew about this, and Zhang Shun came to him to question him.

Lu Yongqiang didn't want to offend that crazy woman Yan Wu, so he had to take the blame. Then Lu Yongqiang realized for the first time that loyalty would really decline.

Just after Lu Yongqiang admitted that he did it, the system reminded Lu Yongqiang that Zhang Shun's loyalty had dropped below 60, and Zhang Shun's name could no longer be seen on the system panel.

To be honest, when Lu Yongqiang knew that Zhang Shun's loyalty was less than 60, he had a strong desire to kill Zhang Shun. However, Lu Yongqiang considered the pros and cons and finally did not do it. But after that, he could not trust Zhang Shun too much and had to be on guard against him.

After Dong Quan's funeral, Hung Hing held a gang meeting. Because this meeting was to select the leader of the Tuen Mun gang, Lu Yongqiang received a notice for the first time, asking him to go to Zhongyi Hall to attend the meeting.

Speaking of which, Lu Yongqiang had been to Zhongyi Hall before, but this was Lu Yongqiang's first time attending a hall meeting in Zhongyi Hall.

Because it was his first time attending, Lu Yongqiang arrived very early. He didn't want to give people the impression that he didn't know the rules. When he arrived at Zhongyi Hall, none of the twelve leaders were there. But Lu Yongqiang was not the first to arrive. There were others who arrived earlier than Lu Yongqiang.

As one of the top gangs in Hong Kong, Hung Hing has more than twelve branches, and these twelve branches are not fixed.

If you really count, there are more than 20 gangs of different sizes in Hung Hing, but some of them are too weak, like the Tsz Wan Shan gang. This gang used to be one of the 12 gangs of Hung Hing, but since Big Boss B went to Causeway Bay, this gang has become weaker and weaker. A few years ago, it was replaced by Thirteenth Sister's Portland Street gang.

There are actually quite a few small gangs like Tsz Wan Shan in Hongxing. The bosses of these small gangs do not have a high status in Hongxing. Some of them are even lower than the status of a straw sandal like Lu Yongqiang. After all, Hongxing is a gang that emphasizes the survival of the fittest. Without strength, there is no status.

In addition to these small gangs, Hongxing also has many blue lanterns like Dafei. These people rely on the name of Hongxing to make a living. When Hongxing has something to do, they also obey Hongxing's arrangements. However, they are not Hongxing's people after all. If you order them to do things, you have to pay them.

Some lack sufficient loyalty to Hongxing and might end up joining another gang someday. Of course, there are also people like Da Fei, who has been exclusively with Hongxing for over a decade, becoming indistinguishable from a Hongxing member. These individuals will eventually either join a prominent figure or earn the recognition of a leader, rising to prominence and potentially becoming the leader of a specific gang.

This gang meeting is said to be to select the leader of the Tuen Mun gang. In fact, most people inside the Hongxing gang know that this is just a formality, and in the end, Dinosaur will definitely be the leader. So even though Lu Yongqiang has gained some fame recently, no one has taken the initiative to make friends with Lu Yongqiang. This is because they are afraid of causing trouble.

When Lu Yongqiang arrived, several bosses from small gangs had already arrived, but no one paid any attention to Lu Yongqiang. Lu Yongqiang had been in power for too short a time, and he didn't know these people. He didn't have the audacity to talk to them, but just stood quietly in a corner waiting.

The Hung Hing's Loyalty Hall was quite impressive, far more spacious than depicted in the plot. The entire room was approximately 50 to 60 square meters, and in the center stood the same enormous long table depicted in the plot. Six chairs sat on one side of the table, and twelve on the other. These seats served as the thrones for the twelve leading figures of the Hung Hing clan.

In the center, a special chair, slightly larger than the others, was placed. This was the Dragon Head Chair, symbolizing the supreme authority of the Hongxing sect. To the right of the Dragon Head Chair was another chair, reserved for the Hongxing White Paper Fan.

To the left of the dragon head chair, slightly away from the long table, three chairs were neatly arranged. These chairs were specially prepared for the uncles and uncles of the Hongxing clan. Normally, at ordinary tang meetings, these three chairs would be empty. Only at particularly important tang meetings would representatives of the uncles and uncles attend and sit there to listen.

Of course, there are more than just these things in the Zhongyi Hall. There are also many stools scattered around. These stools are prepared for small fry like Lu Yongqiang. They are not qualified to sit at the table, but they still have a bench to sit on. These seats are also particular. The higher your status in Hongxing, the closer your seat is to the long table. For example, the red sticks, white paper fans, and straw sandals of the twelve major halls basically have their seats behind the leaders of their respective halls, representing the backbone of Hongxing.

It didn't take long for the big guys to come over one after another. The bosses of the smaller gangs were unwilling to pay attention to Lu Yongqiang, but the big guys were willing to chat with him. Basically, every big guy who arrived would take the initiative to greet Lu Yongqiang, and some even chatted with him enthusiastically.

Like that fence-sitter Ji Ge, he is the boss and his status is equal to Han Bin, so he doesn't have to worry about Han Bin. He is so enthusiastic about Lu Yongqiang and keeps talking to Lu Yongqiang about women. But the conversation goes wrong and he starts to frequently mention Lu Yongqiang's business, such as the snack street and the construction company.

These are Lu Yongqiang's two pillar industries. What Brother Ji said implied that he could support Lu Yongqiang to take the top position, but he wanted to get a share of Lu Yongqiang's two major businesses.

Brother Ji's move is purely to fool fools. It is basically a foregone conclusion that Dinosaur will be the leader. Your support is useless. Moreover, given Brother Ji's fence-sitter nature, it would be strange if he really supports Lu Yongqiang. At most, he will nominate Lu Yongqiang, and then when the voting really starts, I'm afraid he will immediately vote for Dinosaur.

Regardless of whether it was pre-selected or not, since this was supposed to be an election, there had to be more than just Dinosaur as a candidate. Otherwise, why would there be an election? Dinosaur would just be the leader. I'm afraid Lu Yongqiang and Four Eyes are both candidates. Maybe there's more than just Lu Yongqiang; they'll even pick a few people from other factions to act as co-conspirators.

This Brother Ji is also quite interesting. Seeing that Lu Yongqiang didn't fall for it, he lost interest. After Siyan came, he immediately pulled Siyan to chat with him. The content of the chat was basically the same as Lu Yongqiang's, except that the business of sharing the profits had been changed.

Now the most profitable business in Siyan's hands is the Qingshan Bay Fish Market. He earns hundreds of thousands of yuan every month from protection fees alone. In addition to the protection fee income, there is also a small gambling boat at the fish market pier, which can also make a lot of money every month. Brother Ji has taken a fancy to this gambling boat.

You said you want to invest in Four Eyes and work with Four Eyes to make the gambling boat bigger and stronger. This is actually pure bullshit. Hong Kong is not Macau, and gambling is illegal. If you really dare to make the gambling boat bigger and stronger, the police will teach you a lesson in minutes. Do you really think the police will not care?

Although the Hong Kong police and the underworld have reached some consensus due to the indulgence of foreigners, such as prostitution and gambling, the police rarely intervene. However, if you do something too blatant, it will not only slap the police in the face, but they will also turn a blind eye...

The most bizarre thing was that Brother Ji actually chatted with Siyan in front of Lu Yongqiang, and during the conversation, he often asked Lu Yongqiang for his opinion. This kind of shameless behavior is rare. No wonder this person is so talented, yet he can still be so successful. When Lu Yongqiang was asked, he couldn't help but agree awkwardly.

Just when Lu Yongqiang couldn't sit still anymore, Fatty Li rescued Lu Yongqiang from this embarrassing situation.

On the day of opening the incense hall, Lu Yongqiang tried to trick Fat Lao Li into investing. Fat Lao Li did not agree that day, and Lu Yongqiang did not take it seriously afterwards, thinking that Fat Lao Li was unwilling to invest.

In reality, Lu Yongqiang was wrong. Fatty Lai wasn't having a good time right now. With the rise of pornographic films, the market for Fatty Lai's pornographic magazines was shrinking, and his income was dwindling. Fatty Lai was in urgent need of finding a new source of income. This was also the fundamental reason why he was interested in Lu Yongqiang's snack street business.

Fat Lao Li had originally planned to start this business on his own, but after hearing Lu Yongqiang's advice, he hesitated. After opening the incense hall, Fat Lao Li consulted many people about the situation and even paid for professional advice. The results he obtained were similar to what Lu Yongqiang had said. He could have done it himself, but it would have taken up a lot of time and money. Rather than doing it himself, it was better to cooperate with Lu Yongqiang.
