Sun sitting red

On February [-]rd, the market opened.Golden gongs and firecrackers, and sacrifices of wine and wine are finished to welcome the God of Wealth.

The drums and cymbals sounded in front of the entrance of the Changyi General Hall, and amidst the cheers of horses and boys around, the red lion of the martial arts hall who was invited stepped up the ladder majesticly, and moved a few times to test it. After feigning hesitation, he suddenly leapt up with force—immediately biting the red envelope hanging high on the bamboo pole, tearing up a small bundle of lettuce that symbolizes "green", and spit it out to the surroundings after lightly falling to the ground, expressing "making money everywhere".

"It's powerful enough!"

The red lion is the Guan Gong lion among the southern lions. Almost all the Chinese associations in Hong Kong Island and even the world respect Guan Gong. In addition, he is also known as the "God of Wealth". Therefore, during the New Year's Eve, the martial arts lion team is often invited to perform red lions. , even the San Francisco headquarters of Hongmen Zhigongtang in the Americas and its branches in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, etc. are no exception.Those who practice the Southern Lion must first learn the Southern Fist before they can imitate the real lion's posture of seeing, standing, walking, running, and lying down. The vision made all the uncles praise it, and the younger middle-level members of the club also applauded, and the atmosphere in the venue was extremely lively.

Jiang Zheng stood in a corner behind, looking at the red lion who was shaking its head and tail to the beat of the drum, smiling and applauding along with the crowd.

Time flies and months have passed since the accident that night in early autumn.During these days, Chen Baoqi's injuries have healed, the symptoms caused by the pregnancy gradually disappeared, and his physical condition gradually stabilized.However, his mentality has not improved significantly, staying in adolescence, and still accompanied by amnesia symptoms-everything after coming to Hong Kong Island is blank for Chen Baoqi today, and the only thing that fills his life is from the time of admission Just accompany the "big brother" who plays.Fortunately, when he was required to attend on weekdays, his beauty and figure always came first, and he didn't need to think too much about his talent and speech. In addition, Jiang Zheng deliberately protected and arranged meticulously. Little did anyone know that the flamboyant Queen of Portland Street had long suffered the aftereffects of a car accident.

In the past few months, Jiang Zheng also returned to his job of "fishing home" and did not take any action to stir up the turmoil caused by the previous victory. He only interacted with people in the Yau Tsim Mong area on weekdays, and occasionally went to Central to raise money. Click on the business matters of the brokerage company.To say it's a little out of the ordinary, it signed a few film contracts with Xinghe Video, and planned to cast Chen Baoqi as the leading role, but it's also a way of a society, so it's not considered private.

Being low-key, everyone gradually forgot the silent dispute between him and Yang Yaodong half a year ago.After all, money and women are full of beauty, not like swords and swords that stir up blood and beasts. The hot topic recently is the game between Changyi and other clubs. A group of newcomers who dare to fight have emerged from various outlets , and both are seeking opportunities for superior positions.

There was a couple of chats on the field, and the Red Lions withdrew after a while.Under the leadership of the dragon head, the speakers and a group of uncles worshiped the gods and Buddhas and offered incense. The carefully prepared ceremony came to an end, and after that, it was a game of Mahjong and Pai Gow regardless of size.

Another three quarters later, it was time for dinner at the main hall.

When we were seated, several cold dishes had been placed in front of the stage, and there were delicious meals after two rounds of wine.The hall was filled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol, and nearly a hundred people were sitting or standing chatting and laughing wantonly.

Suddenly a pair of slender bamboo chopsticks stretched out, holding the crispy and shiny roast pork.

"Thanks to the second brother, I will naturally have good luck..."

At the entrance of the roasted meat, the energetic elders on the first seat and the side told about their experience of enjoying the blessings of the house, then looked up at the people around them, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing to get rich! As the old saying goes, 'to make a fortune is to build a product', we are in the community, As a person in the Jianghu, you don’t need to worry about these priorities, and it doesn’t matter whether you make a fortune or become a fortune. But...if you have a way, you naturally have to take care of your brothers, don’t you say?”

Although his sentence is light, its meaning is serious, so the words fell, and the eyes of several people around the table moved accordingly.

This old man is Uncle Ghost.

And the person he was looking for was Jiang Zheng.

There were more than a dozen people at the same table, but many went to toast elsewhere, and some of the rest were familiar with Uncle Ghost, and even a few of them were disciples brought out by him.After listening to their uncle's advice, they already knew that Jiang Zheng must have a way to make money in his hands--the money in the rivers and lakes is just silver paper, who would think that there is too much money in his hands?During the conversation, they chattered loudly, calling Jiang Zheng to "make a fortune", "don't leave your brother behind", "show loyalty" and so on. Only Brother Feng, who heard the noise at the next table, had a serious look on his face. .

There is no other reason. With the relationship between Brother Feng and Jiang Zheng, he naturally knew the details of the other party's "financial resources" earlier than Uncle Ghost. Half a month ago, he called Ajie to ask his subordinates to come in and do things.Uncle Ghost's meddling now naturally makes Brother Feng unhappy, but he also knows very well that Jiang Zheng's actions are all under the influence of the society, and it is impossible to hide it from everyone.

Such as the recent acquisition of cruise ships.

When talking about cruise ships, everyone naturally thinks of the "Miss Nightclub Beauty Contest" that made Portland Street's reputation reach its peak. After thinking about it for a while, they will recall the luxury gambling ship "Galaxy Princess" belonging to the He family in Macau. The proposed acquisition of cruise ships is obviously also affected by it-selecting some functions of the "Galaxy Princess" and planning to push it to the market after it is convenient and short-term.

In short, Jiang is looking to acquire a small cruise ship as a "flower boat", that is, a nightclub at sea.

For people in the community, especially the elders of the uncle generation, flower boats are nothing new.Decades ago, even though there were wars and chaos, the river along the Yuejiang River was still covered by flower boats, large and small, simple or luxurious. The boats shuttled countless clients to and from the wharf, and the prostitutes stayed in the cabin day and night. Intercourse with people.

In addition to the flower boat, there is also a brothel, all the way from the water's edge to the city center.The similarities between the two, except Fengyue, is that they have been controlled by gangs and associations for a long time-up to today's Hong Kong Island, they are just transformed into nightclubs, dance halls, shiatsu, saunas, bars, etc., which are no different from decades ago.

The size of this small cruise ship cannot be compared with the "Galaxy Princess" carefully built by the "Underground Australian Governor" He's family. However, Jiang Zheng never thought of converting it into a gambling ship from the very beginning. The entire offshore gambling industry in Asia is controlled by the He family, and only a small part of the business belongs to the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi. The word "talking things" is not only reflected in having more luxurious ships, more professional croupiers, and more perfect credibility, but also in the fact that when others get involved in such a lucrative industry, the speed at which the He family cut off the other party's life can definitely be regarded as a thunderbolt. one strike.Three years ago, the first gambling boat entered the sea. Not long after, several wealthy merchants in Southeast Asia followed suit. In less than half a month, the people sent by the He family won all the gambling bonuses.Secondly, "Flower Boat" is positioned as a high-end entertainment venue. Jiang Zhengzheng has been operating the entertainment venue on Hong Kong Island for many years. Whether it is a top-level call girl or a source of tourists from all over the world, there are sufficient management personnel and logistics forces. There is also a Macau Chamber of Commerce. The eponymous "Queen of Portland Street" is in hand - gambling is not the main function of this cruise ship.

Of course, the most important point is that Jiang Zheng and Brother Human, the actual manager of the "Galaxy Princess", have reached a consensus before. The "Flower Boat" is allowed to set up gambling items, but it needs to be smaller than the "Galaxy Princess" in terms of size and type. The spectator is provided by the He family's casino in Macau. "cost.

In any case, for "Flower Boat", the biggest obstacle in the early stage has disappeared.

But it was at this time that a new problem arose, namely, the ownership of the cruise ship.

Jiang Zheng said that in the original plan, his top priority was to lease ships.Considering various factors, the current small cruise ship that a wealthy businessman is eager to sell is the most suitable, but the controversy here is that the wealthy businessman asked Changyi to purchase the cruise ship in full, and due to the limited time of the New Year's Eve, Jiang Zheng's cash flow is not enough to make up for it. The full payment of the entire ship, so the acquisition of the cruise ship is temporarily on hold.

Hearing this, there were endless sighs on the stage.

The members of the community who can enter the main hall for the banquet are definitely of high status, and they naturally know the value of this "flower boat" that has not yet been determined to belong to, and it is not easy to find another suitable cruise ship—not to mention , I heard that the businessman just had trouble turning his business around for a while, and if he slows down a bit in a few days, maybe he won't sell the ship again...

During the conversation, Uncle Gui's expression moved slightly, and he put down the Pu'er in his hand.

Hello everyone, I am Tunzi~

2019 is coming to an end. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your continued support, which made me persist in writing various stories.

The article is almost finished!Look at my sincere and promised HE eyes (flashing)

The article has not been updated for a long time, because I mentioned some of the reasons on Weibo.During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I said that the old man was not in good health and went home to visit him. In fact, it was because my grandfather had terminal cancer.Fortunately, I went back at that time, because I didn't see him for the last time after half a month. When I rushed back, I was already in the funeral home. After that, I went back and forth between the two cities and accompanied my mother.Afterwards, I was seconded at work and worked very busy for a period of time. In addition, the surrounding environment changed a lot (many colleagues are inconvenient to touch fish...), and my writing was super slow. I just dropped down to TT... Finally, I had some free time recently, but another elder with a good relationship passed away in his sleep. Traveling between cities... Now it is finally the end of the year, and I hope next year will be a year of happiness and peace.

In the past two years, relatives have left each other, some due to illness, and some due to time. This is the first time I feel that I am getting older, but my relatives and friends are also getting old.It's not so much about being sad about it, it's more about appreciating all those who left and those who didn't.In fact, whether it is relatives, or readers and friends on the Internet, they are all very good to me.Thank you all, I appreciate it.
