Chapter 15 Vow to enter the mountain of swords

It was the first time for Ah Lok, Dan Tart and Zuo Shou to see hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. A whole bag full of banknotes was extremely shocking, but their shock had already been released when Tang Ge earned his first "huge sum" of ten thousand yuan.

The people in Kwun Tong who earn HK$10,000 think that earning hundreds of thousands or even millions is natural and a matter of time!
The brothers stared at the money with envy, their eyes were particularly bright, their pupils widened, but no one was dizzy. Even Ah Le, who was the most financially strapped, quickly retracted his gaze, looked up at the still sleepy, yawning boss and said, "Brother Tang, I'll go buy you breakfast."

On the cupboard, an old Toshiba radio was playing "Swear to Enter the Mountain of Knives", the theme song of the TVB drama "Lu Xiao Feng and Wu Dang War". The singer was the drama's male lead, Adam Cheng, and the composer was the "Godfather of Hong Kong Music" Joseph Koo. The lyrics were written by James Wong, one of the "Four Talents of Hong Kong Island". It won the first Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards two years ago and was a popular song at the moment. It happened to be replayed on the radio this morning.

"I swear to go into the mountain of swords."

"With great spirit, we can pass thousands of levels!"

"Loyalty is limitless, manliness is pride, he comes to hell alone and leaves alone."

"If you deliberately venture into a tiger's den, how long will it take to return?"

Qiu Guan’s clear singing voice echoed in the rental house.

Five young men from Kwun Tong, with a huge sum of more than 500,000 yuan, were full of enthusiasm and passion and were ready to do something big!

Yin Zhaotang picked up a cigarette, lit the lighter with his left hand and walked forward: "Huh, thank you."

He patted his brother's shoulder, blew out a puff of smoke, looked at the four brothers and said, "Forget about breakfast. We have things to do later. There is 581,000 yuan on the table. It is the opening fee that Uncle Cat from the club lent us. It is a reward for us to kill the Thai guy."

"But the money has to be paid back. Thai's life is not worth more than 500,000 yuan. Grandpa also allowed us to open a new venue in Yau Ma Tei."

"From now on, get rid of Chukouqiang and Jixiang and go it alone. No one can pick on you anymore. Zuoshou, you are smart and a talent for managing accounts. Go to Canton Road today and see if there are any buildings with whole floors for rent. Take note of the ones with suitable locations. Our hotel will open next week!"

Thinking that he would soon have his own place, Zuo Shou was full of energy. He drank the Coke in the glass bottle in one gulp and said excitedly, "Brother Tang, leave everything to me. I will definitely choose the most popular location."

Yin Zhaotang nodded and turned his gaze to Dan Ta who had been waiting eagerly: "Dan Ta, you have the best relationship with the Feng sisters in the unit, ask them if anyone has thought of getting water from us?"

"We are responsible for bringing in customers as before, and we continue to collect money by the hour. The rules are the same as when we were working for other people, but from now on we will not bring customers to the prostitutes outside."

"Those who want to continue to cooperate with us are welcome!"

During this period of time, many old customers have been accumulated through telephone referrals. All their contact information is in Danta's hands, with more than a thousand numbers.

Uncle Jixiang had been eyeing their customer base before, and wanted to push them out to compete with Chukou Qiang, so that he could sit back and reap the benefits. It didn't matter that Yin Zhaotang didn't want to attract attention before, but now that he has made new contributions to the society and has the nod from the leader, it is a good opportunity to take action, and the money he makes can also go into his own pocket. If he doesn't do it now, it will be a waste of opportunity!
"Brother Tang, leave those sisters to me. It's such a big job, how can I not have some special skills?" Dan Tart has delicate skin and tender flesh. He is not tall, but has handsome features and looks a bit like a pretty boy.

When he was studying in the countryside of Kwun Tong, senior students would ask him to play table tennis with them, and he was often pushed into the toilet and bullied.

If she had known to call the police at that time, she could at least have been convicted of molesting a boy.

"Ah Le, go contact Mr. Xian from the Kwun Tong Printing Factory and order a circulation of 10,000 copies for next Monday. The manuscript will be sent to him on Sunday. Take 2,000 dollars as a deposit."

Ah Le chuckled twice, took out a roll of money from his purse, unrolled it, counted out twenty bills and stuffed them into his trouser pocket. Yin Zhaotang looked at Jiang Hao, who was looking forward to it, and said with a smile, "Ah Hao, take your ID card to the Commercial Bureau to register a company. You will be the legal representative of the company in the future, and we will replace you if needed."

"Take a thousand yuan and find a scalper at the entrance of the Commercial Office Building. They will do it for you."

"If you want to fight the rest of the time, go to the gym, but don't use me as your sparring partner. If you beat me up, you'll have to pay for my medical expenses. Show some respect to your brothers. No matter how big or small, we are all brothers!"

Jiang Hao didn't even take the money on the table. He put one hand in his pocket and nodded, intending to pay for the boss to register the company. But he didn't care about the boss's instructions, and pouted his lips and said, "You deserve to be beaten if you are not strong enough. My beating is better than that of outsiders!"

"You're really crazy. You love boxing so much. Why don't you go to the boxing gym and learn how to box?"

Yin Zhaotang glared at him fiercely, but didn't want to say anything too much.

Because all the younger brothers who followed Jiang Hao were bullies. The reason they followed him to Kowloon was because he had beaten Jiang Hao before. Jiang Hao had even borrowed money for his younger brothers to treat their injuries. Therefore, a brief reminder to stop was the best.

Zuo Shou saw the boss tie up the money bag and carry it away, so he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, you've assigned the work to us, what are you going to do?"

In the past, the big guys always took the lead in everything and rarely did a task separately.

But in the future when the company develops, if one person takes on too much responsibility, he will be exhausted to death before he can make any money.

"What are you doing? Damn, I put hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars on my bedside table every day!"

"The entire rental house combined may not be as wealthy as I am. If I don't want to die, of course I have to put my money in the bank."

"Besides, before doing anything, I prayed to Lord Guan in the incense hall. Lord Guan must have put in a lot of effort to get me out of the Mong Kok police station safely."

"I'm going to find Master Guan to fulfill my vow today!"

Yin Zhaotang, wearing a white T-shirt and carrying a black plastic bag, stood up and left. Zuoshou, Dantart, Jiang Hao, and Ale all hurriedly followed him out: "Boss, we will accompany you to the bank first."

“It’s so unsafe to be alone.”

I spent money to open a private account at HSBC Bank, deposited 500,000 Hong Kong dollars into it, and kept the remaining 70,000 yuan on me as a backup.

The bank manager promoted the fund very enthusiastically. Even if you were rejected coldly, he would personally see you to the door and hand you a business card.

It really hurts to think about having to pay HSBC a hundred dollars in account management fees every year.

Zuo Shou hailed a taxi on the street and helped the boss to open the door. After the boss got in, he knocked on the passenger window and said to the driver, "Sham Shui Po Guandi Temple!"

"Who said I was going to Guandi Temple? Master, please go to the Children's Welfare House in Mong Kok." After Yin Zhaotang finished speaking, he saw Zuo Shou. Ah Le and the others looked puzzled, and smiled and said, "What's the rule? You have to go to the temple to fulfill your vows. Can't you do some charity work at the welfare house?"
