Chapter 3 Young people should work hard and be successful
"Are you crazy? If you have any grudges with your fellow disciples, you should go to the leader to settle them. If you privately harm your brothers, you will be chopped to death according to the Hongmen Thirty-Six Oaths!"
"You are still a white-paper fan from the Yau Ma Tei gang. If you commit treason, no one can protect you."
"We are not as strong as others, so it's better to earn less than nothing."
Uncle Jixiang lit up a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said with great emotion: "Without our own territory and place, we are just begging for food. Hey, if we have our own stable, we can attract customers and make money ourselves. We can make 70 or 80 yuan an hour, several times more! Why should we have to look at the face of that arrogant guy, Choukouqiang?"
"As your boss, I am protecting your business, but I am too embarrassed to take your money. I will not share my share from now on."
According to the rules, Jixiang was responsible for negotiating cooperation with the community and taking one-fifth of the profits every month as the boss of the family.
Now that I can't settle the business issues, I naturally don't have the face to share the money.
Yin Zhaotang took out three thousand six hundred yuan and placed it on the table and handed it over.
"Uncle Jixiang, although Chukouqiang is denying his debt, I, Atang, will not deny my debt. Let's put things in perspective. Your share will not be reduced by a single cent. I'll take care of Chukouqiang's problem. Lend me Achao, Dahua and the others."
Ah Chao, Dahua is a useful guy under Jixiang.
If they work together, it means that Jixiang has personally given his approval, and they will not be able to shirk responsibility and get away with it afterwards.
Yin Zhaotang kept saying that he would solve the problem, but in fact he was forcing Jixiang to get the money back. Otherwise, he would definitely make things worse out of impulse! No one would benefit.
Jixiang paused as he twisted the Buddhist beads, and looked at Yin Zhaotang with burning eyes, saying word by word: "Uncle also wants to send Choukouqiang to fill the sea, but we are from Kwun Tong, and we are looked down upon by our fellow disciples. How can we make a name for ourselves if we don't do something?"
"I, your uncle, am already in my thirties and can't make it big. Atang, you are still young, have learned martial arts, and are smart. You are a natural talent for fighting with the Red Stick. It would be a waste of your talent to follow me."
"Last month, a batch of goods from the gang was seized by the police, resulting in a loss of more than 10 million dollars. A few days ago, we found out that the traitor was a Thai. Grandpa received a message from a friend in the police force that the batch was not enough, and the maximum loss was more than 1 million dollars."
"It's obvious that it was the Thai guy who tricked us Jing Zhongyi and deliberately leaked the information to the police. If something went wrong during the delivery at the dock, the loss will be ours. Grandpa spread the word last night that whoever can kill the Thai guy at the airport can choose any location of the gang!"
"Tonight at ten o'clock, the society will hold a ceremony at the Tseung Kwan O ancestral hall, draw lots for life and death, and assign brothers to do tasks."
"Every Zhazhi has to recommend a brother. You are the most capable of my subordinates, so I want to recommend you. Atang, what do you think?"
"Do something for them to see. Do it well at once. Don't let others look down on you. I believe in you."
Before Yin Zhaotang could reply, Uncle Jixiang patted him on the shoulder and left the mahjong hall with his friends Uncle Yuanbao and Uncle Tiantang, not forgetting to take the more than 3,000 yuan on the table.
Uncle Yuanbao untied a little white dog at the entrance of the mahjong parlor and walked on the street with an old dog leash. He was a little annoyed and said, "Jixiang, you don't take good care of Atang, such a capable kid, and you pushed him to death. Be careful of retribution."
"Shut up, Yuanbao!"
"I sent him to do big things because I saw he was capable. Young people should be brave and work hard, and live a glorious life. If they just want to make money all day, they won't leave in half a year."
"Who is still staying in Jingzhongyi as a scoundrel?" Jixiang answered, with a tone that showed he had Yin Zhaotang in his grasp.
After all, he has been following me since he was eleven years old. He is born with a hot temper and cannot hide his thoughts. If he has something on his mind, he will definitely say it directly.
Although Yin Zhaotang has become more stable recently and is still thinking about publishing magazines to attract customers, he knows the strengths and weaknesses of the henchmen he has trained himself.
He would never have thought that Yin Zhaotang had changed his soul and was a more experienced person than him. After Yin Zhaotang left the mahjong hall, his face was so gloomy that water could drip. It was acceptable to give Jixiang a sum of money every month, and it didn't matter if Jixiang gave him some money to gamble occasionally.
Just respect your elders.
But taking 20,000 out of 27,000, that’s too extreme!
He was recommended to work for the community. On the surface, it was said that he should do great things and stand out, but secretly, they didn't necessarily expect him to stand out.
Arriving at the Sheng Kee food stall at the entrance of Lai Chi Kok Alley, diners have already filled half the alley. The diners sit on low stools, using the high stools as dining tables, eating a plate of raw shrimp, a crab, white porridge, rice, and beer. The crowds are bustling, and it is no less lively than a big restaurant.
In the 80s, high-rise buildings coexisted with tenement buildings and alleys in Hong Kong Island. There was no conflict between the international city and the urban and daily life.
"Ah Hao, Ah Le, Dan Tart, where's Zuo Shou?" Yin Zhaotang greeted the brothers who were waiting, and when he saw that one person was missing, he asked. A young man with side bangs hurried over from the back alley: "Brother Tang, I just went to the bathroom."
"Brother Tang, Brother Tang."
The other brothers squatted at the street corner and came up to greet him. There were more than 20 16-17-year-olds, all of whom were blue lanterns for Jing Zhongyi. They followed Yin Zhaotang, Ah Hao and other four-nine guys, and they were the ones who usually answered the phone and brought customers.
They usually lived in the rental house rented by Yin Zhaotang. They got up every day and went to an office on Shanghai Street to answer the phone. There were also people who distributed magazines and received guests.
There are several branches under Yin Zhaotang's organization. They are considered as his own people. Treating them to a meal is considered as team-building and even the outermost members have to be invited.
"Ask the boss to serve the food, order whatever you want, and take the cigarettes." Yin Zhaotang took out a pack of Jian brand cigarettes that he had prepared long ago. The brothers around him all showed joy on their faces. The cigarettes were quickly distributed.
Jiang Hao lit a cigarette, picked a seat against the wall and sat down, and asked, "Brother Tang, you came an hour later than usual. If you don't come earlier, I will take my brothers to Dong'an Society to find Mawei to snatch people away."
Ah Le opened a bottle of beer, placed it in front of the boss, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, that useless guy Ma Wei is not qualified to touch Brother Tang, drink!"
Yin Zhaotang took a sip of Budweiser from the bottle and took out a plastic bag from his pocket. "I just went home to get some money, a total of 37,400 yuan. As usual, the soliciting brothers are paid 10 yuan an hour, so 18,400 yuan, I paid them according to the amount on the account."
"The remaining half is also 18,400. Divide it into five parts, one for each person. Do you have any objection?"
This means each portion costs a little over 3,600 yuan, twice as much as a salaried laborer, about the same as an air-conditioned office worker in Wan Chai who speaks foreign languages, or even a little more than a policeman.
The subordinates answered the phone, and most of the henchmen who solicited customers could get more than 2,000 yuan. Don't look at the more than 20 henchmen present. In fact, they are either still studying and just earning some money for cigarettes, or working as parking boys in nightclubs. In short, they don't rely on making phone calls to make a living. They just follow Yin Zhaotang and come to help occasionally.
There are only nine henchmen who make a living by entertaining customers. They are also the backbone of Yin Zhaotang's men. Their daily income is considered very good among the young and dangerous guys. You know, young and dangerous guys are poor at the third watch and rich at the fifth watch. Most of them end up doing hard labor, and very few of them can become big gangsters.
"no comment."
"Do whatever the boss says."
A Le and his friends had no objection to the profit division, as the boss always took good care of his brothers.
Only the clever left hand noticed something was wrong: "Brother Tang, didn't you go to the mahjong hall to ask Uncle Jixiang for money? Why do you have to run back home to get money?"
