Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Lu Yongqiang stayed in China for a total of seven days, all of which were spent in Wangjia Village. His original plan was to stay in China for half a month to a month. Although he has no money to invest now, he is ready to take a good look at the domestic investment environment and is thinking of visiting the special economic zone.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. On the fifth day after Lu Yongqiang returned to China, Dinosaur actually had a conflict with Smiling Tiger of Dongxing. The reason was that Smiling Tiger did not say hello to Dinosaur, and then let his men go to Dinosaur's yard to sell goods.

Dinosaur had a bad temper to begin with, so he beat up Smiling Tiger's men, seized Smiling Tiger's goods, and even sent them directly to the police station.

Dinosaur's actions directly offended Smiling Tiger. Later, on the second night after Dinosaur beat people and seized goods, Smiling Tiger led his men to cross the line and fight with Dinosaur's men. The result was a draw, but because the conflict took place in Dinosaur's territory, Dinosaur suffered a small loss.

Then, on the second night, Dinosaur borrowed people from his brother Han Bin and Thirteenth Sister. A total of nearly two thousand people stepped into Smiling Tiger's territory and drove Smiling Tiger out of Tuen Mun in one night.

With such a big thing happening, Lu Yongqiang certainly couldn't sit still and immediately rushed back to Hong Kong City.

Although he returned too hastily, Lu Yongqiang achieved his goal. The people of Wangjia Village could not resist the temptation of Lu Yongqiang and agreed to cooperate with him.

Lu Yongqiang first gave Wangjiacun 500,000 yuan to renovate the fishing boats, and then the two sides traded directly at sea. Wang Hai took care of all the domestic affairs, while Lu Yongqiang was responsible for the port city. The profits were split 50-50 between the two parties. Of course, the 500,000 yuan that Lu Yongqiang gave in advance would be deducted slowly from the payment for the goods later.

When Lu Yongqiang returned to Gangcheng, the time was just right. As soon as he arrived, Jiang Tiansheng called to ask for help.

Although there was a conflict with Dongxing, the two societies had not yet launched an all-out war, so Jiang Tiansheng did not convene a gang meeting, but simply called Lu Yongqiang and others to his villa.

In addition to Lu Yongqiang, Jiang Tiansheng also called Siyan, Dinosaur, Han Bin, and Thirteenth Sister.

Lu Yongqiang initially thought Jiang Tiansheng had called to ask him and Four Eyes to help the Dinosaurs and prevent a counterattack from the East Star. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tiansheng wanted more. He wasn't just after the Smiling Tiger's territory; he also wanted the East Star Crows' territory. He summoned Lu Yongqiang and Four Eyes to his villa to take over the Crows' territory that night and drive them out of Tuen Mun.

After hearing Chen Yao's request, Lu Yongqiang and Siyan looked at each other, both of them showing unwillingness in their eyes.

It would be easy to launch a surprise attack and drive the crows out of Tuen Mun, but Lu Yongqiang and Four Eyes might not be able to stop the counterattack of East Star.

After Lu Yongqiang and Siyan divided up Zhang Shun's territory, the territory became larger and Lu Yongqiang had to recruit some people. He now has nearly three hundred men under his command.

Siyan had more men. Before Zhang Shun's territory was divided up, Siyan had almost 600 men. After Zhang Shun's territory was divided up, Siyan recruited another 200 men, and he had a total of 800 men.

Even if they threw all of their thousand-plus men into the Crows' territory, they wouldn't be able to withstand the East Star's counterattack. Furthermore, the two of them didn't dare send everyone out, so they had to keep at least half of them to defend their own territory. Therefore, they could only mobilize a few hundred men, and with just that few, they might not be able to defeat the Crows if they were prepared.

Seeing that the two were silent, Chen Yao spoke again, "Don't worry, Handsome Qiang and Four Eyes. We are not the only ones asking you to deal with the East Star Crow. Han Bin and Thirteenth Sister will send people to support you when the time comes."

Chen Yao's words basically forced Lu Yongqiang and Siyan into a corner, leaving them with almost no right to refuse. If they refused, they would probably be accused of something.

Lu Yongqiang and Siyan exchanged a glance, and Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother Yao, can I ask how the conquered territory should be calculated?"

Chen Yao replied, "Of course, whoever conquers the territory between you and Four Eyes will own it. However, Thirteenth Sister and Han Bin's men can't work in vain. You will have to pay them according to the rules of the underworld."

According to the rules of the underworld, if you just help to gather the numbers, you have to pay 80 yuan per person. If you want to fight, the price will be around 150 yuan per person.

Of course, as we are a community, we certainly cannot charge according to the market price. Generally, we charge a package price, which is about 30 to 50 yuan per person. However, medical expenses and resettlement expenses are calculated separately.

Lu Yongqiang calculated that if they really wanted to fight the Crows, they would need at least four to five hundred people, and he could only send out a hundred or so at most, which meant that he had to borrow at least three hundred people. If a war was not won, it would cost one or two million. The money given to the younger brother was not much, but for so many hundreds of people, food and drink alone would cost a lot of money. In addition, medical expenses and resettlement expenses would be the biggest expenses. If a war broke out, dozens or hundreds of people were injured, and one or two people died, the medical expenses and resettlement expenses alone would probably exceed one million.

And every time we fight for territory, it may not be completed in one day, and it is possible that it will take three to five days. So it is normal to spend several million.

This is also the case with many social groups in Hong Kong, but not many of them actually fight. Most of the time, they just show off their skills first and then sit down to negotiate. After going through this process, the problem is almost solved.

If you can hold on to the territory after conquering it, that's fine. But if you fail to hold on to it in the end, you will suffer a huge loss.

At this point, Lu Yongqiang finally understood why these bosses wanted to keep so many minions.

Seeing that Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything, Chen Yao continued, "Handsome Qiang, I know you don't have many men. If you are willing, I can let Han Bin support you with 500 men."

Then Chen Yao turned to Han Bin and asked, "Han Bin, is it okay for you to borrow 500 people?"

Han Bin replied, "Five hundred people is certainly no problem! If that's not enough, I can borrow another three hundred."

Lu Yongqiang thought about it and realized that not only was it not cost-effective to lend someone, but he also didn't have that much money. So he said, "Brother Yao, Brother Bin, I won't lend this person for now. I can handle the number of people myself."

At this point, Lu Yongqiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Yao, let me ask you something. We have offended two of the Five Tigers of East Star in succession. Will this really not lead to an all-out war between East Star and our Hongxing?

If an all-out war breaks out, our Tuen Mun sect will be the first to bear the brunt of the damage. How will we account for any losses we suffer?"

Before Chen Yao could answer Lu Yongqiang's question, Jiang Tiansheng spoke up, "Don't worry about that. Even if you drive the Crows out of Tuen Mun, Dongxing wouldn't dare to go to war with us, Hongxing. If a full-scale war were to break out, all the losses suffered by the Tuen Mun branch would be borne by the society."

Hearing Jiang Tiansheng say this, Lu Yongqiang looked at Jiang Tiansheng thoughtfully. It seemed that this matter was not as simple as he knew.

After coming out of Jiang Tiansheng’s villa, Siyan followed Lu Yongqiang into the car.

Seeing Siyan getting into his car, Lu Yongqiang asked, "Siyan, why don't you go back and get ready quickly? What are you doing in my car?"

Four Eyes said, "Brother Qiang, have you noticed something strange? It's not the first time that people from East Star have been going to the Dinosaur yard to sell their goods. Why did this Dinosaur suddenly turn against the Smiling Tiger?

And I also heard that even though the fight between the dinosaur and the smiling tiger was intense last night, with thousands of people involved, only a dozen or so were injured in the end. Not a single person died. This was pure showmanship.”

Lu Yongqiang had just returned to Hong Kong City and hadn't even sat down when Jiang Tiansheng called him over. Lu Yongqiang really didn't know what Siyan said.

Lu Yongqiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Four Eyes, are you sure you're not lying to me? How could there be only a dozen people injured in a conflict involving thousands of people?"

Siyan said, "Brother Qiang, we are on the same boat, how can I lie to you?

Besides this oddity, there's another strange thing. Didn't Dinosaur send all of Smiling Tiger's stooges to the police station? I asked my friends at the police station, and they did send quite a few people there, about fifty or sixty. But none of them had much merchandise on them, and the total value wouldn't even be worth a hundred thousand dollars."

After hearing what Siyan said, Lu Yongqiang was a little dumbfounded. If it was really as Siyan said, then this matter was not only weird, it was simply a naked conspiracy. He just didn't know whether these things were done by Jiang Tiansheng or Han Bin.

Seeing that Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything, Siyan continued, "Brother Qiang, this is too strange, so we can't let others lead us by the nose. We can fight the crow tonight, but we can't fight with all our strength as the club requires. Otherwise, our strength will be greatly damaged, and in the end, I'm afraid our hometown will be robbed."

Siyan got into Lu Yongqiang's car just to discuss this matter with Lu Yongqiang. However, after hearing what Siyan said, Lu Yongqiang was unsure and naturally unwilling to do his best, so he immediately agreed to Siyan.

Afterwards, the two men discussed it and decided to join forces to hunt the crows. Whether or not they could drive the crows out of Tuen Mun was not their concern; as long as they could, it would be an explanation to the society. Furthermore, if they could seize the territory, they would split it equally between them.

After the discussion, Siyan got out of Lu Yongqiang's car.

After returning to his territory, Lu Yongqiang immediately called Lu Yongheng over.

Before Lu Yongheng could speak, Lu Yongqiang told him the news that Siyan had told him, and then asked, "Ah Heng, didn't you hear anything about these things?"

Lu Yongheng's face looked a little ugly. He said, "Brother, I'm sorry! I've been busy dealing with things in Xiaolan recently and haven't paid much attention to the changes in the road."

After hearing what Lu Yongheng said, Lu Yongqiang knew that he had spoken out of turn. He had gained a lot of territory and subordinates recently. This was a big step and he would naturally lose sight of one thing while focusing on another.

Although he has many confidants now, not many of them are smart. In addition, Lu Yongqiang is accustomed to throwing all things to Lu Yongheng, which makes Lu Yongheng a little too busy.

Lu Yongqiang patted Lu Yongheng on the shoulder, then said, "Hengzi, between you and me, what is there to apologize for? To be honest, it's me who should apologize to you.

Unconsciously, I've given you too many things to do. This is my fault. I didn't consider that human energy is limited after all, and I habitually threw everything onto you."

Speaking of this, Lu Yongqiang also felt a little emotional. In his previous life, when he worked in a company, he had a habit of exploiting his subordinates. I don't know how many of his salesmen could not stand his high-pressure policies and jumped ship. I didn't expect that after living a new life, he still couldn't change this bad habit.

Lu Yongqiang continued, "Hengzi, you are my general manager. From now on, you can let others handle specific matters like those in Xiaolan. You just need to control the overall situation. You don't have to do everything yourself. If you get exhausted, then I will be finished."

Lu Yongqiang meant this sincerely, without any falsehood. If Lu Yongheng was really exhausted, Lu Yongqiang couldn't imagine how busy he would be at that time.

Although Lu Yongqiang had handed over the construction company to Old Eagle, he still trusted Lu Yongheng with regard to the finances. And although Bingzai and Shouhou were in charge of the snack street, many matters still needed Lu Yongheng's final say, especially since Lu Yongqiang was recently developing a second snack street on Bowl Lane, and many things needed Lu Yongheng's decision.

These things had already kept Lu Yongheng busy. After taking over Zhang Shun's territory, Lu Yongqiang was in a hurry to go back to China and left the affairs in Xiaolan to Lu Yongheng, which made Lu Yongheng even busier.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Lu Yongheng was both moved and a little disappointed. He was moved because Lu Yongqiang knew how difficult it was for him, and he was disappointed because since Lu Yongqiang said so, he would definitely have to hand over a lot of things in the future. Although these were fewer things to do, it also meant that he would have less power in his hands.

Just when Lu Yongheng was about to say something, Dadong came in and said, "Brother, everyone is here, waiting for you to come over for the meeting."

What happens tonight is a big deal, and Lu Yongqiang habitually calls all his core members to a meeting.

It was only because Lu Yongheng arrived first that he spoke to Lu Yongheng for a while.

After Lu Yongqiang and Dong Si confirmed their relationship, he lived in Dong Si's house most of the time. Today's meeting was also held in Dong Si's villa.

In the living room on the first floor, all of Lu Yongqiang's trusted subordinates arrived. When they saw Lu Yongqiang coming down from upstairs, they all stood up and greeted him.

Lu Yongqiang glanced around at everyone in the living room and found that Dong Si was not there. He said, "Dadong, go call your sister-in-law."

Dong Si is a smart woman. After she established a relationship with Lu Yongqiang, she never cared about Lu Yongqiang's affairs and didn't even ask about him. She mainly portrayed herself as a good wife and mother.

Lu Yongqiang also didn't want his woman to show up in public, but he didn't have many people he could use, and now the business was too big, so he could only ask Dong Si to help share some of the burden.

Soon, Dong Si was called over by Dadong.

Seeing that everyone was present, Lu Yongqiang started to tell everyone about the crow hunting tonight. Without waiting for anyone to speak, Lu Yongqiang directly ordered: "Haozi, you will give one million to the Third Uncle and ask him to help find four hundred people who are brave enough to fight."

The Lu family in Tuen Mun is divided into five branches. The strongest branch is naturally the one led by the patriarch Lu Hantao, but the Lu family is not ruled by Lu Hantao alone. The other four branches are also quite powerful.

The third uncle that Lu Yongqiang mentioned is the person in charge of Lu Yongqiang's branch. People like Lu Yongheng and Lu Hao are considered to be the descendants of this branch. The strength of their branch ranks third among the five major branches, with more than a thousand households.

It was reasonable for Lu Yongqiang to pay his elders for help when he had problems, and the third uncle couldn't refuse.

As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Lu Hao agreed immediately, but Lu Yongheng hesitated and said, "Brother Qiang, there is no money in the account. Look at this..."

Hearing that there was no money in the account, Lu Yongqiang was stunned. He turned to look at Dong Si and wanted to ask Dong Si to borrow money, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.
