Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

After coming out of Zhongyi Hall, Lu Yongqiang and Dadong were about to leave when Fatty Li and his men jogged after Lu Yongqiang.

Fatty Li said, "Aqiang, I didn't choose you just now. You won't be angry about this, right?"

Lu Yongqiang shook his head. He was indeed not angry. After all, even if Fatty Li chose him, he would not be the leader in the end. So it didn't matter whether he was chosen or not.

But Lu Yongqiang felt somewhat unhappy. When Fatty Li needed help from him, he was unwilling to raise his hand. This made Lu Yongqiang face the reality completely. Even though Fatty Li was talking and laughing with him, this fat guy might not look down on him.

Seeing that Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything, Fatty Li guessed what Lu Yongqiang was thinking and explained, "Aqiang, the reason I didn't raise my hand to choose you just now is because Mr. Jiang told me to choose the dinosaur. Mr. Jiang is the leader, so I have to listen to his orders."

Hearing Fatty Li say this, Lu Yongqiang almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. It was true that Fatty Li obeyed Jiang Tiansheng's orders, but that was under the premise that Jiang Tiansheng didn't harm his interests. If he was really so obedient, he wouldn't have made a bet with Big Brother B. The reason why Fatty Li didn't raise his hand was that he didn't take Lu Yongqiang seriously and felt that it was not worth offending Dinosaur because of Lu Yongqiang.

Seeing that Lu Yongqiang still didn't say anything, Fatty Li continued, "Aqiang, in fact, in my opinion, you are more suitable to be the leader than Longkong. Longkong is a reckless man. If it weren't for his brother Han Bin, he would have been selling salted duck eggs long ago."

Seeing Fatty Lai chattering away, Lu Yongqiang couldn't help but say, "Brother Lai, Dinosaur just said he's inviting you guys to Lan Kwai Fong for drinks tonight. It just so happens that my birthday is this month, and I'm planning to set up a few tables at the Guqi Restaurant in Tuen Mun to celebrate. Are you going to Lan Kwai Fong, or are you coming to support me?"

Lu Yongqiang's words stunned Fatty Li. He frowned and said, "Aqiang, are you planning to challenge the dinosaur? This is not a wise move."

"Brother Li, don't worry about whether I'm wise or not. Just tell me whether you want to support me tonight. This is my birthday, you won't be so insolent as to give me any face, right? Or has Mr. Jiang sent you a message again, asking you to go to Lan Kwai Fong?" As Lu Yongqiang spoke, he looked at Fatty Li with a smile.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Fatty Li's expression immediately became a little embarrassed. He looked at Lu Yongqiang with a slightly embarrassed look, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing Fatty Li remained silent, Lu Yongqiang already had the answer in his mind. He said, "Brother Li, you're not serious, are you? I was just joking. I celebrated my birthday last month. Besides, the new boss, Dinosaur, is treating me, so I can't miss it. Let's go to Lan Kwai Fong for a drink. Let's have a couple of extra drinks tonight to make the new boss lose some money."

After saying that, Lu Yongqiang ignored Fatty Li and walked straight ahead. Fatty Li smiled awkwardly and followed closely behind Lu Yongqiang.

These big guys may not have any other abilities, but they are all really thick-skinned.

Arriving at the parking lot, Lu Yongqiang got in the car. Fatty Li waved to his men, then shamelessly got in Lu Yongqiang's car. Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything, but considerately made room for Fatty Li.

After the car started, Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother Li, I have no problem helping you connect with Zhang Shun, but can you first tell me what benefits you can give Zhang Shun, so that I can have a better idea."

After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Fatty Li thought for a moment and said, "Aqiang, how about giving Zhang Shun a red envelope of 200,000 yuan?"

As Fatty Li finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang directly ordered: "Dadong, stop by the roadside so that Brother Li can get off."

After hearing Lu Yongqiang's instructions to Dadong, Fatty Li said, "Ah Qiang, what do you mean? Didn't we agree to go to Tuen Mun with you? Are you changing your mind?"

Lu Yongqiang sneered and said, "Brother Li, Zhang Shun and I don't have a good relationship to begin with. How can I find Zhang Shun if you only give me 200,000 yuan?

Do you want me to tell Zhang Shun that someone offered you 200,000 yuan to offend the boss of Causeway Bay?

Brother Li, do you think Zhang Shun will feel that I am deliberately humiliating him after hearing what I said?

Previously, Lu Yongqiang saw that Fatty Li was quite generous to him, and thought that Fatty Li had changed his stingy habits, but he didn't expect that he was still as stingy as before.

Lu Yongqiang was already unhappy with Fatty Li, and now that there weren't enough benefits, of course he was unwilling to do so.

Lu Yongqiang's words made Fatty Li blush a little, but he was still unwilling to raise the price. Instead, he said, "Aqiang, how about this? You just need to help me make an appointment with Zhang Shun, and I will talk to Zhang Shun about the rest."

Lu Yongqiang glanced at Fatty Li with a half-smile, then said, "Then I wonder what benefits you can give me, Brother Li?"

Hearing Lu Yongqiang asking for a favor, Fatty Li felt a little unhappy. He said, "A Qiang, I just asked you to help me make an appointment with Zhang Shun, but you actually asked me for a favor. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Too much?" Lu Yongqiang sneered and said, "Brother Li, I'll introduce you to Zhang Shun. If Big Boss B knew about this, do you think I'd offend him? For your little thing, I'm risking offending Big Boss B. I'm asking you for a little benefit. Is this really too much?"

If you really think it's too much, Zhang Shun is in Tuen Mun, you can go to him yourself, why do you need me to help you arrange him out! "

When Fat Lao Li asked him to borrow people, Lu Yongqiang knew that Fat Lao Li must have contacted Zhang Shun privately, and was ruthlessly rejected by Zhang Shun, so he wanted to try again from his side.

Lu Yongqiang guessed correctly. After knowing that Zhang Shun had transferred to Hung Hing, Fat Lai asked his men to get Zhang Shun's phone number that day, and then called Zhang Shun.

Fat Lao Li originally wanted to arrange a meeting with Zhang Shun, but Zhang Shun flatly refused. As a result, Fat Lao Li had no choice but to talk on the phone. However, as soon as Fat Lao Li explained the situation, Zhang Shun flatly refused. Without waiting for Fat Lao Li to offer any benefits, Zhang Shun hung up the phone. After that, Fat Lao Li could no longer get through to that number.

Afterwards, Fatty Li went to Zhang Shun’s lair in person, but he didn’t see anyone there, and Zhang Shun didn’t even show up.

Being rejected by Zhang Shun is not an honorable thing. Fatty Li certainly would not tell Lu Yongqiang. Now that Lu Yongqiang had put pressure on him, he was suddenly speechless and didn't know how to start.

Seeing that Fatty Li was silent, Lu Yongqiang knew that his guess was correct. He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Li, give me one million and I'll find a way to get Zhang Shun to work for you.

But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, you must give Zhang Shun enough benefits. I think the conditions you offered me before are good. If you can also offer this condition to Zhang Shun, I can guarantee that Zhang Shun will transfer to your school."

The fishing boat in Zhang Shun's hands was related to Lu Yongqiang's next development plan. If Zhang Shun's loyalty was still above 60, Lu Yongqiang would certainly not mind taking him with him to make a fortune. But now that Zhang Shun's loyalty was below 60, Lu Yongqiang was certainly unwilling to take him with him.

However, given the current relationship between Zhang Shun and Lu Yongqiang, Zhang Shun is definitely unwilling to hand over the fishing boat to Lu Yongqiang. If Lu Yongqiang wants the fishing boat, the only way is to kill Zhang Shun or get Zhang Shun out of Tuen Mun, so that Lu Yongqiang can take over the fishing boat legitimately.

With two top killers, Yan Wu and Yan Yi, around, Lu Yongqiang naturally wouldn't kill Zhang Shun, so the only thing left to do was get Zhang Shun out of Tuen Mun.

Originally, Lu Yongqiang was still troubled by this matter, but he didn't expect Fatty Li to come to him, which gave Lu Yongqiang an idea.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Fatty Li began to hesitate and opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end no sound came out.

Seeing this, Lu Yongqiang said, "Boss Li, this time Big Boss B smashed your magazine and burned down your printing factory. If you can't get this place back, how will you survive in Hongxing in the future?

Zhang Shun is certainly capable and ambitious, but he's just joined your fold. He shouldn't be a threat to your position for three to five years, right? You're already in your fifties. How many more years can you keep this underworld job? By the time Zhang Shun becomes a threat to your position, you'll have reached the age to retire. By then, you'll have supported Zhang Shun's ascension, and you'll still have a bond with him. As long as he's around, you'll maintain your status in the society and be able to earn money from it.

After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Fatty Li thought about it seriously, and finally nodded and said, "Aqiang, let's do as you say, but when Zhang Shun fights in the ring, he must win. If he loses, then sorry, Zhang Shun will have to go back to where he came from."

After hearing what Fatty Li said, Lu Yongqiang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Li, when is the date for your fight with Big Brother B?"

Fatty Li said, "A week later."

Lu Yongqiang frowned. A week later was not enough time. Zhang Shun had been seriously injured in the fight with Dadong. It was not certain that his injuries would be healed in such a short time.

Although Lu Yongqiang estimated that Chen Haonan's skills were weaker than Zhang Shun's, if Zhang Shun was injured, he might not be able to guarantee victory in a real fight.

Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and said, "When Zhang Shun fought with Dadong, he was seriously injured. His injuries may not be fully healed in a week.

Brother Li, can you push this fight back a bit? If you want to win for sure, it's best to wait until Zhang Shun recovers before fighting."

……

Because Lu Yongqiang kept his promise and did not kill his wife and children, Zhang Shun was full of gratitude towards Lu Yongqiang and thought that Lu Yongqiang was a good person, so his loyalty level exceeded sixty at that time.

However, due to the death of several of his confidants, Zhang Shun felt that Lu Yongqiang was a cruel and ruthless person, and naturally became wary of Lu Yongqiang. His original loyalty was 60% out of gratitude, and now that he was wary, his loyalty naturally decreased.

Zhang Shun had not been in contact with Lu Yongqiang for a long time, but as soon as he saw Lu Yongqiang, he couldn't help but feel danger, and always felt that Lu Yongqiang was a ferocious beast waiting to devour its prey.

Perhaps it was this feeling of danger that made Zhang Shun want to stay away from Lu Yongqiang. When Lu Yongqiang discussed with him about joining Fatty Li's team, Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment before agreeing, saying that the matter could be discussed.

Afterwards, Lu Yongqiang hosted a meal for Zhang Shun and Fatty Li. After eating and drinking for a while, they talked about business.

Fatty Li was a man of stinginess. He had already agreed with Lu Yongqiang on the terms, but Fatty Li had changed his mind. He had agreed to give Zhang Shun three streets, a nightclub, a bathhouse, and a bar. But now Fatty Li only wanted to give Zhang Shun two streets and a nightclub.

There are three types of Hongxing industries. One type is the industry in which the society has full investment. The industry is managed and operated by whoever owns the land. The society will take 70% of the profits from this type of industry.

One is an industry that is in partnership with a community, where the community will extract profits according to the investment ratio.

The last type is the individual businesses of members of the gang. These businesses generally pay the gang 10% of their profits, which effectively acts as protection money. For example, Lu Yongqiang's snack street business and Lu's real estate company pay the gang a monthly fee.

The three venues that Fei Lao Li wanted to give to Zhang Shun were industries fully invested by the society. Although the society would extract a lot of profits from such industries, it would be particularly easy to manage because the industries belonged to the society. If there were any strong men causing trouble, the society would also step in to resolve the issue.

North Point is much more prosperous than Tuen Mun. The income from the three venues, plus the protection fees from the three streets, is enough for Zhang Shun to support his two hundred or so followers.

Zhang Shun had quite a few men under his command, a total of about four or five hundred. Considering that many people might not be willing to follow Zhang Shun to North Point, Lu Yongqiang only counted Zhang Shun as having two hundred men under his command. When he discussed with Fatty Lai, he calculated based on this number.

Now that one third of the territory and two thirds of the venue were gone, Zhang Shun's face changed immediately. He did not speak, but turned his gaze to Lu Yongqiang.

Being stared at directly by Zhang Shun, Lu Yongqiang felt embarrassed. He looked at Fatty Li and said coldly, "Boss Li, if you keep changing your mind like this, I really doubt your sincerity. If you haven't thought it through, then let's end this matter today!" With that, Lu Yongqiang stopped eating and stood up to leave. He was really angry about Fatty Li's antics.

Seeing Lu Yongqiang about to leave, Fatty Li immediately grabbed Lu Yongqiang and said, "Ah Qiang, don't be angry. Aren't we discussing this? If you think it's inappropriate, we can continue the discussion. How about giving Ah Shun three streets and a nightclub?"

Fatty's words made Lu Yongqiang laugh. He sneered and said, "Boss Li, you are the leader of Hongxing after all. Can you be more open and honest? You are bargaining with me like you are buying vegetables at the market?"

As he said that, Lu Yongqiang shook off Fatty Li's hand and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Fatty Li said reluctantly, "Okay! Okay! Okay! Let's do as we agreed before. I'll give you three streets and three places. Is that okay?"
