Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Since Fatty Li agreed to the conditions agreed upon at the beginning, the matter was settled. As for which three streets they were and which venues they were, that was not Lu Yongqiang's business and was to be discussed by Fatty Li and Zhang Shun.

After leaving the restaurant and waiting for Fatty Li to leave in a car, Lu Yongqiang looked at Zhang Shun and said, "This Fatty Li is an old fox. If you follow him, don't trust his words too much, otherwise you will die without knowing how."

After hearing Lu Yongqiang remind him, Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, then said, "Thank you!"

Lu Yongqiang patted Zhang Shun on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, you've called me 'big brother' a few times. I don't want you to be tricked by that fat guy Li. You better take care of yourself from now on!"

Having said that, Lu Yongqiang turned and left, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and waved to Zhang Shun.

When Zhang Shun walked up to him, Lu Yongqiang said, "Almost all of your trusted subordinates are secretly trafficking drugs. I don't know if you know about this, but let me remind you that our Hongxing's leader, Mr. Jiang, really hates others trafficking drugs. Since you have joined Hongxing, think twice before doing anything in the future and don't involve your wife and children." After that, Lu Yongqiang left without waiting for Zhang Shun to speak.

Looking at Lu Yongqiang's leaving back, Zhang Shun opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

Lu Yongqiang is a person who is always cautious. Although Yan Wu killed several of Zhang Shun's confidants, Lu Yongqiang still arranged for Lu Yongheng to investigate. He was shocked to find that the boat gang was not as clean as he thought.

The gang was not only involved in drug trafficking by Lu Wuye, but also involved several of Zhang Shun's trusted subordinates. One of them was even a drug lord far more powerful than Lu Wuye. Fortunately, these people died. Otherwise, it is unknown whether Lu Yongqiang would be implicated by them, but Zhang Shun would definitely be implicated by them.

This incident also reminded Lu Yongqiang not to trust the character of these dwarf mules too much.

Afterwards, Lu Yongqiang asked Lu Yongheng to check his men, and he actually found a few bad guys. These people were either taking drugs themselves or secretly selling drugs in Lu Yongqiang's place.

In the evening, Lu Yongqiang took Dadong, Luo Tianhong and Lu Yongheng to Lan Kwai Fong.

Lan Kwai Fong is also a famous nightclub in Hong Kong, with countless bars of all sizes. The only difference from other nightclubs in Hong Kong is that Lan Kwai Fong is located in the Central and Western District, which is a wealthy area in Hong Kong and is home to most of Hong Kong's wealthy people. Therefore, the security is very good and basically no one dares to cause trouble there. The major social groups have tacitly given up fighting for territory in the Central and Western District and instead do business in a serious manner.

The reason why Dinosaur invited Jiang Tiansheng to dinner in Lan Kwai Fong was because Jiang Tiansheng owned a nightclub there. If he invited Jiang Tiansheng to dinner somewhere else, Jiang Tiansheng might not show up, but if he went to Jiang Tiansheng's own place, Jiang Tiansheng would definitely show up.

When Lu Yongqiang and his men arrived, Dinosaur and his younger brothers were welcoming guests at the entrance of the nightclub.

Lu Yongqiang walked over and said with a smile, "Brother Dinosaur, congratulations! Congratulations! Now you have finally got what you wanted." As he said that, he bowed.

The dinosaur smiled and said, "Qiangzi, since you are here, why don't you help me greet the guests at the door?"

To be honest, Lu Yongqiang felt a little unhappy when he heard Dinosaur Calling him "Qiangzi", but Dinosaur was now the leader of the Tuen Mun Gang and his nominal big brother. Although Lu Yongqiang was unhappy, he could not show it on the surface.

And isn't this dinosaur a reckless man? Hasn't he always been straightforward? Why is he playing tricks now?

Lu Yongqiang glanced at the people behind Dinosaur, Savage, Big Dog, and Curly Hair. Lu Yongqiang had known these people for a long time, but there was a tall and thin guy who looked a little unfamiliar.

Lu Yongqiang pointed at the tall and thin man and asked tentatively, "Brother Dinosaur, why does this brother look so unfamiliar? Is he the new brother you just recruited?"

Hearing Lu Yongqiang's question, Dinosaur didn't hide anything. He put his arm around the tall and thin man's shoulders and introduced him, "Gao Yang, my old brother for more than ten years. He used to help my brother manage the business in Laos, and now he's back to help me."

Then he pointed at Lu Yongqiang and continued, "Gao Yang, this is Lu Yongqiang—Qiangzi, the straw sandals of my Tuen Mun branch."

Gao Yang extended his hand and shook hands with Lu Yongqiang, then said, "Brother Qiang, I'm new here and unfamiliar with Tuen Mun. I'd appreciate your continued care in the future."

Lu Yongqiang smiled and waved his hand, then said: "I don't deserve your care. We will all be making a living in Tuen Mun in the future, so let's visit each other more often." As he said that, Lu Yongqiang consciously stood behind the dinosaur.

The red sticks, white paper fans and straw sandals of the gang are actually a team formed by the gang leader in order to better control the gang's territory.

Now that Dinosaur is in power, if Dinosaur can subdue Lu Yongqiang and Four Eyes, or if Lu Yongqiang and Four Eyes surrender to Dinosaur, admit that they will obey Dinosaur's management, and pay their dues to Dinosaur every month, then Dinosaur may not form his own team.

However, if Lu Yongqiang and Siyan cannot subdue him, and if they refuse to pay their dues, then he will have to form his own team. At that time, Lu Yongqiang and Siyan will have to give up their positions as straw sandals and white paper fan.

From now on, he can only use the name of Hongxing Lao Sijiu to survive in the underworld, or one day Lu Yongqiang will set up his own gang and become the boss, and the gang he established will replace one of the twelve gangs. At that time, Lu Yongqiang will rise to the top and become one of the twelve leaders of Hongxing, and even a big boss.

When Dinosaur asked Lu Yongqiang to join him in welcoming the guests, he was actually asking Lu Yongqiang to express his opinion on whether he recognized him as the boss.

The monthly protection fees from Lu Yongqiang's current territory on those few streets, combined with the income from nightclubs, bathhouses, and teahouses, weren't much. Lu Yongqiang calculated it, and it was around a million yuan at most. (Originally, Lu Yongqiang should have been making around two million yuan, but he sold his most profitable loan sharking company, which is now in Four Eyes' hands.) Paying Dinosaur a quarter of a cent a month only brought him around four hundred thousand yuan.

In the past, when life was tight, Lu Yongqiang might have cared about these hundreds of thousands of dollars, but recently his business was on the right track, and he no longer cared about the hundreds of thousands of dollars. What he wanted now was stability. As long as he could develop steadily for a period of time, then he would really take off.

So Lu Yongqiang didn't want to conflict with the dinosaur and just stood behind it.

Not long after Lu Yongqiang arrived, Siyan came over with his men. When he saw Lu Yongqiang standing behind Dinosaur, Siyan's face changed, but in front of Dinosaur, Siyan didn't say much.

Afterwards, Dinosaur asked Four Eyes to accompany him to welcome the guests. Four Eyes' expression changed, but when he saw Lu Yongqiang nod at him, Four Eyes still stood obediently behind Dinosaur.

Seeing that Four Eyes had also given in, the smile on Dinosaur's face became even wider. He took out a box of cigars from his pocket and threw one to each of Lu Yongqiang, Four Eyes, Shengfan, and Gao Yang. Then he put one in his mouth and started puffing away, his expression indescribably arrogant.

After Lu Yongqiang took the cigar, he just put it under his nose and smelled it, but did not smoke it. Instead, he held it in his hand and played with it.

As time passed, most of the people who were supposed to come arrived. After Jiang Tiansheng arrived last, Lu Yongqiang finally didn't have to stand at the door in the wind anymore. He followed Longbo into the nightclub.

Inside the nightclub, lights flash, music blares, and crowds surge. On the dance floor, people dance with abandon, swaying to the rhythm. On the stage, performers in glamorous costumes deliver passionate performances, drawing cheers from the audience. The lavish decor and dazzling lights create an atmosphere of decadence and extravagance.

The crowd did not stay on the first-floor dance floor for too long, but went straight to the private room on the second floor.

It was obvious that Dinosaur was going to spend a lot of money today. He booked five large private rooms. The twelve leaders plus Jiang Tiansheng, Chen Yao, and several uncles and aunts occupied three of the private rooms.

As for people of Lu Yongqiang's level, after Jiang Tiansheng entered the private room, they all dispersed, either going to the other two private rooms to drink and sing, or going to the dance floor downstairs.

Since Dinosaur was paying for tonight's meals, Lu Yongqiang didn't hesitate and took Dadong and a few others to the first floor to ask for a booth. Not only did they order a bunch of food, they also called a few hostesses.

The main purpose of tonight is to enjoy oneself. Lu Yongqiang did not treat himself badly and directly called two girls to accompany him. The figures of these two girls are really amazing. As soon as the two girls sat down, Lu Yongqiang touched them all over and was busy taking advantage of them.

Just when Lu Yongqiang was having fun, Siyan came over with his men.

As soon as he came over, Siyan seemed to be calling for an explanation. He said, "Brother Qiang, didn't we agree to form an alliance? You're being a bit unkind today."

Seeing Siyan coming over, Lu Yongqiang waved his hand and said softly, "Excuse me, ladies. Please go to the side and wait for a moment. I need to discuss something here."

Women who frequent nightclubs definitely have good eyesight. As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, several women in the booth immediately stood up and left without any hesitation.

After the women left, Lu Yongqiang patted the sofa beside him and said, "Four Eyes, don't be so angry. Let's have a good talk and see whether I cheated you or helped you."

After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Siyan didn't hesitate and walked directly to Lu Yongqiang and sat down.

Lu Yongqiang waved to Dadong and the others, and they stood up and left the booth.

When he and Four Eyes were the only ones left in the booth, Lu Yongqiang said, "Four Eyes, are you unhappy that I gave in to Dinosaur?"

Four Eyes nodded and said, "Brother Qiang, with your and my current strength, as long as we unite, the dinosaurs will have no way to deal with us. I can't understand why you want to give in to the dinosaurs? Isn't it better for us to be the boss ourselves and make more money?"

After Siyan finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang said with a smile, "Siyan, we are not the only ones in Tuen Mun. The dinosaurs can't do anything to us, but what about Dongxing? Don't forget, the crows in Dongxing are still eyeing us covetously.

We had a disagreement with Dinosaur, which caused the Tuen Mun branch to fall apart, and in the end, Dongxing would definitely take advantage of the situation and invade.

If Dongxing really crosses the line again, it would be fine for me because my territory is not connected to Dongxing's territory, and Dongxing will not be able to step into my territory for a while.

But you are different. You have a lot of territory adjacent to Dongxing. Are you sure you have the strength to withstand Dongxing?"

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Siyan's expression changed. He thought for a moment and said, "Even if there is a threat from Dongxing, Dongxing is not only a threat to you and me, but also to the dinosaurs. Why should we give in?"

Lu Yongqiang sneered and said, "Why? Of course it's because Dinosaur's eldest brother is Han Bin. With this relationship, Dongxing may not provoke Dinosaur, but it's hard for you and me to say."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Siyan didn't say anything. He was very different from Lu Yongqiang.

Most of Lu Yongqiang's income comes from his own business. He only needs to pay a 10% share of the profits to the society, and the rest of the profits belong to Lu Yongqiang himself. After all, even if he surrenders to Dinosaur, it does not mean that Dinosaur is qualified to interfere in his business.

But Four Eyes was different. He had almost no business of his own. Most of his income came from protection fees and the venues given to him by the community. His only personal property was a small gambling boat near the Qingshan Bay Fish Market, which made hundreds of thousands of yuan in profit every month. Given this situation, he was naturally unwilling to pay Dinosaur.

Seeing Siyan was silent, Lu Yongqiang understood Siyan and said, "Siyan, Fatty Li is in contact with Zhang Shun, and you never know when Zhang Shun will switch to Fatty Li's school.

"Four Eyes, if, I mean if Zhang Shun really went to North Point, would you be interested in Zhang Shun's territory?"

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Siyan immediately perked up. He thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Brother Qiang, no matter how bad your relationship with Zhang Shun is, he's nominally yours. If he goes to North Point, his territory should naturally belong to you. Are you planning to give Zhang Shun's territory to me?"

"Give it to you?" Lu Yongqiang snorted coldly and said, "Four Eyes, you are dreaming of something. Zhang Shun owns nine streets of land. In addition, he also owns two bars, a bathhouse, three ice cream parlors, a seafood farm and a slaughterhouse. With so many things, why should I give them to you?

Even if Zhang Shun is one of my men, and he goes to North Point, the land will naturally belong to me, but why should he give me the properties under his name? Can't he sell them to someone else? Those are his personal properties, and we in Hongxing don't practice plundering by trickery."

After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Siyan knew that he had just spoken out of turn. Lu Yongqiang would definitely not give him such a huge benefit for free.

Siyan said, "Brother Qiang, what do you mean?"

Lu Yongqiang said: "Zhang Shun wants to leave, so I can't keep him. But if he wants to become Fatty Li's disciple, he must give me some benefits. Otherwise, why should I let him go?

Zhang Shun talked to me about it. After he left Tuen Mun, he would naturally not come back, so his properties in Tuen Mun would naturally have to be disposed of. He wanted to give his properties to me, but I don’t have the ability to take them all, so it’s not a good deal for you.

I want the three streets on the Xiaolan side and several nearby fishing villages that Zhang Shun owns. Besides that, the aquaculture farm and slaughterhouse on the Xiaolan side belong to me. My land isn't adjacent to Xiaolan, so you have to give me the three streets adjacent to Xiaolan."
