Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Chapter 473 Lu Yongqiang, Determined to Not Become the Leader

Lu Yongqiang is wealthy, and many of the big bosses in Hongxing are jealous of him. The leaders are fine, as they have all gotten some benefits from Lu Yongqiang, but these uncles in the society cannot get any benefit from Lu Yongqiang.

When Lu Yongqiang's wealth was first exposed, these old guys had the idea of replacing the leader. The reason why they supported Lu Yongqiang as the leader was not necessarily for Lu Yongqiang's good. Most of them wanted to get some benefits from Lu Yongqiang.

Unlike the Heliansheng, the Hongxing clan can designate successors after retirement. This ensures that their influence within the clan remains largely unchanged despite their retirement. Furthermore, the clan's control over elections gives them considerable prestige within the clan, and most of the leaders and chieftains are willing to support these veterans.

However, once the Hongxing elders retire, their territory and subordinates are returned to the organization. They have the right to recommend a successor, but whether the organization chooses this person is decided by the leader and the leader, and has little to do with the elders. This minimizes the influence of these elders, as their retirement represents their withdrawal from the center of power within the organization.

Since these old guys have no power, Lu Yongqiang naturally won't rush to give them benefits. After all, his money didn't come from the wind.

Lu Yongqiang was just the gang leader, responsible for his own small territory. Even if the old guys were jealous, they couldn't do anything to Lu Yongqiang. They had no excuse to take advantage of Lu Yongqiang. Even if they had difficulties and came to Lu Yongqiang, whether he would help or not would depend on his mood.

But if Lu Yongqiang became the leader, the situation would be different. Since he was the leader, he would be responsible for the entire society. These old guys were also members of the society. If they had difficulties, Lu Yongqiang would have to take care of them.

Jiang Tiansheng died suddenly, so these old guys naturally wanted Lu Yongqiang to take over as the leader. The reason they asked the prince and others first was just to eliminate competitors for Lu Yongqiang in advance.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Uber asks others whether they want to compete for the leading position and lists other people’s achievements. It seems that it supports others to compete, but if someone really takes it seriously, I’m afraid someone will stand up and find fault with it immediately.

After the Prince, Xiyan and Han Bin refused, You Bo immediately stopped talking. But when it came to Lu Yongqiang, the situation was different.

As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, You Bo spoke up, "Ah Qiang, you're wrong. If you want to run for a district council seat, you should be the leader. As long as you become the leader of our Hongxing, everyone in Hongxing will vote for you. With the support of our entire Hongxing, it will be a sure thing for you to become a district council member."

Zou Bo's words might fool outsiders, but Lu Yongqiang didn't believe it at all.

The situation in Hong Kong City is special at this time. In fact, not only are the North trying to win over Hong Kong City's communities, but the foreigners are also trying to win over Hong Kong City's communities.

If Lu Yongqiang was just the leader of Hung Hing, although he was rich and powerful, his influence was limited after all. In addition, Lu Yongqiang made a lot of donations of various kinds to feed some foreigners. With these greedy foreigners covering up for Lu Yongqiang, Lu Yongqiang was able to get away with it. The bigwigs on the foreigner side never caused trouble for Lu Yongqiang.

But if Lu Yongqiang becomes the leader of Hongxing, the bigwigs on the white side will have to pay attention to Lu Yongqiang. Then Lu Yongqiang will have to deal with these people, and his future life may not be as easy as it is now.

Although Lu Yongqiang now far surpasses Jiang Tiansheng in terms of wealth and power, he is still far behind Jiang Tiansheng in terms of connections.

The Jiang family has been operating in Hong Kong for decades, and their connections are far beyond what Lu Yongqiang has been able to achieve in over a decade, especially when it comes to getting along with foreigners, Lu Yongqiang is far behind.

As soon as You Bo finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang directly refused: "You Bo, you don't have to say it. I have no intention of being the leader, not now, and not in the future."

Before Lu Yongqiang could even begin to speak, his other, grumpy uncle spoke up: "Ah Qiang, you've made a fortune relying on the society's reputation over the years. Now that you've grown stronger, do you want to distance yourself from it? Don't forget that you owe your achievements to the society. You can't be ungrateful."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang became unhappy. He said coldly, "Uncle Long, although you are the uncle of the society, you should not accuse others of anything. I never said that I would draw a clear line with the society."

"You've gotten to where you are today thanks to the club. Now the club needs you to step up and take charge, but you're trying to hold back. Aren't you just trying to distance yourself from the club? What? You dare to do this, but you're afraid of what others will say?"

This guy called Uncle Long has a really bad temper. He didn't even give Lu Yongqiang any face. After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Bilibili started to criticize Lu Yongqiang again.

Originally, Lu Yongqiang wanted to save some face for this old guy, but since this old guy left no room for him, Lu Yongqiang didn't care anymore.

Lu Yongqiang stood up, clasped his fists towards everyone in the room, and then said, "Originally, Mr. Jiang had an accident, and there are some things I don't want to talk about. After all, once these things are revealed, it will have some impact on Mr. Jiang's reputation. But this old guy keeps being aggressive. If I don't explain a few words, then everyone will really think I, Lu, am ungrateful."

"I joined Hongxing when I was sixteen. In the first few years, I had no chance to make a name for myself. Until my boss, Tyrannosaurus, died, I somehow became the gang's leader and a member of the gang.

At first, I really thought that the big bosses in the society saw my ability and supported me to get to the top, but later I found out that I was just the scapegoat designated by Jiang Tiansheng and Dong Quan.

Don't think I'm lying. At that time, my boss Tyrannosaurus was a red stick in the Tuen Mun Gang, but he died in unclear circumstances, and I was confused and became a straw sandal. Coincidentally, I was attacked on the day I took office. My brother Dadong was stabbed more than ten times in order to save me, and I was also seriously injured. We both had a close call with death.

But even so, some people were unwilling to let me go. At the community hospital, I was attacked by a gunman again. Luckily, the gunman failed to kill me, and I killed him instead. After that, I chose to call the police, and they intervened, which saved my life.

"To get ahead in a club, you have to go through life and death. I faced two life-or-death crises, but I also managed to get ahead. In comparison, I didn't feel any resentment. So, afterward, I had no complaints about the club, nor did I think about revenge."

"After that, I wanted to earn money in peace and stability and build a future for my brothers, but some people didn't seem willing to let me go easily and still treated me as a pawn that could be manipulated at will.

The Crow from Dongxing was jealous of my business and came to my door with people. No one in the society took the initiative to help me, so I found my grandfather Dong Quan. He was also jealous of my business. I then went to meet the Crow alone and saved my business with my life.

Afterwards, I wiped out the Four Seas Gang in Tuen Mun and incorporated the Boat Gang in Tuen Mun, expanding the territory for the society and making great contributions. However, the society had unclear rewards and punishments. Dinosaur became the leader of Tuen Mun, and I was just a red stick.

Afterwards, I led people to kill Zhao Tai, and cooperated with Dinosaur to drive Dongxing out of Tuen Mun, making Tuen Mun clean. Isn’t this a great achievement?

After Big Boss B died, I led my men to defeat Jimmy from Heliansheng and killed McGao from Xinji. Aren’t these contributions great enough?

But the Causeway Bay site was given to Greyhound, whose contribution was less than mine, and I got nothing in return? I was able to become the boss because I conquered the entire Tsuen Wan.

Along the way, I don’t know what benefits the society has given me, but I have contributed a lot to the society, whether it was the previous society wars, the conflicts with the Taiwan Triad Gang, or the conflicts with the society over there, I have contributed a lot.

Over the years, I don't think I owe the society anything. On the contrary, it's the society that owes me a lot, so I can't be accused of being ungrateful."

As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, the room fell silent. There was no way around it. Lu Yongqiang was telling the truth. Without any background or backing, his path to power was more difficult than anyone else's. And along the way, apart from borrowing the name of the society, the society really didn't give Lu Yongqiang any benefits.

After a long while, Xiyan said, "We in Hongxing are full of talented people. Since Ah Qiang doesn't want to be the leader, let's forget about it."

After Xiyan finished speaking, the uncles looked at each other. You Bo said, "Since Aqiang doesn't want to, Xiyan, how about you take the lead and make the decision?"

Xiyan chuckled and said, "You Bo, I told you that I have a special status and am not suitable to be the leader.

I can recommend someone who I think is the most suitable person to be the leader of the Hongxing gang."

"Who do you want to recommend? If you ask me, although we in Hongxing have many talented people, the only person suitable to be the leader, apart from you, is really only Ah Qiang." These words were not said by the uncles, but Ma Wangjian interrupted.

Ma Wangjian has been under the watchful eyes of the police. After a long time, he can't stand it anymore. He has also thought about giving up the illegal lottery business, but he has a lot of brothers under him. If he gives up this business rashly, his subordinates will lose their income and will definitely make trouble, which will then make him more troubled.

Ma Wangjian is in urgent need of a new way to make money, and Xiyan and Lu Yongqiang have the biggest business in the society. In his opinion, no matter who is the leader of the two, if he doesn't want to be implicated by him, he must find a way to make money for him.

Ma Wangjian finished speaking, and with a narrow smile, he said, "Ma Wangjian, don't be impatient. If this person I'm talking about becomes the leader, it will be more beneficial to you than if I or Aqiang became the leader."

Hearing Xiyan's words, Ma Wangjian's appetite was whetted. He asked anxiously, "Xiyan, can you please stop keeping us in suspense? Who do you recommend? Can you please tell us directly?"
