Chapter 95: Starting from Industry
Chapter 95: Starting from Industry
The biggest difference between a place belonging to a company or a gang is who is in charge of the accounts. All the company's territories will eventually be divided among the gang's younger brothers for management, but the territories directly under the company will have a dedicated accountant to manage the accounts.
The tongs had to pay 50% of their income, which was basically hard-earned money. But the tongs' territory was managed by Baizhishan, so they could make more money.
Yin Zhaotang thought about it for a while in the car and found that Fat Cat was really smart. No wonder Gao Laosen and other uncles not only did not express their opinions at the end, but also had smiles on their faces.
In terms of how to share the profits and benefits, we need to learn more from Grandpa. If we are not good at keeping things evenly distributed, it will be difficult to gain the sincere support of the community. The unity of Lao Zhong is not luck, but a solid backbone!
Lawyer Du returned to the attic with a briefcase under his arm and placed a thick stack of contracts on the table.
He moved a chair to sit down, poured a cup of hot tea to rinse his mouth, and explained: "Grandpa, Brother Tang, the transfer procedures for the factory have been completed. It will take a few days for the land certificate to be registered in the name of the factory, and Brother Tang is the licensee."
Some of the documents required for the formalities have already been handed over to Attorney Du.
Yin Zhaotang lifted the kettle, closed the lid, and made him a cup of hot tea. He smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Du. I'll take you to Shanghai Street to wash your feet tonight."
"It's my duty. If I receive money from the company, I should run errands for the boss. I have made an appointment with the boss of the law firm to sing at KTV tonight. Let's save it for next time." Du Zihua said happily.
Yin Zhaotang laughed: "Which KTV? Why not go to the club's place?"
"The boss lives in Wan Chai, so he must be in the Wan Chai place. Wait for you to plant a flag in Wan Chai and save me some money on drinks." Du Zihua sipped the tea in one gulp, gurgled it twice, and his breath seemed to be scalded by water.
Yin Zhaotang smiled and said, "It's OK to put up a flag in Wan Chai, but there are 18 districts in Hong Kong Island, we can't put up a flag in every district, right? I can't help you save on drinks, but it's OK to save a little on your show fees."
"Tell Dan Tart when you go downstairs and ask him to arrange a car to take you to your room. I wish you a happy time with the boss."
Du Zihua smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Tang. Please write me another check for the stamp duty. Don't say I have no conscience. It's the foreigners who collected it. It's none of my business!"
Yin Zhaotang took the equity transfer stamp tax form issued by the Commercial Bureau and said unhappily, "The gangsters are here to collect protection money."
Fat Cat is playing with a delicate and small pomelo teapot in his hand. It can be rounded in one hand. He holds the teapot to drink tea as if he is playing with a child's utensil. The contrast between the sizes is very sharp.
It has the interest of an old naughty boy, less calm and majestic than the previous pumpkin pot, but more friendly.
"Atang, the factory will be handed over to you from now on. Do your job well and don't gossip about it to others."
Yin Zhaotang grabbed the peanuts from the small dish, squeezed them open with one hand, and threw the peanuts into his mouth: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I have an idea in mind."
Fat Cat probed: "Is this source of income enough to support the company?"
Yin Zhaotang knew that Grandpa was asking if the sneaker factory was the way to make money instead of the fans. According to Yin Zhaotang's plan, the shoe factory would make more money than the fans.
But it would be too easy to just reply to Fat Cat.
He said nonchalantly, "I don't understand. You won't know until you try it. If you don't try it, how would you know that the pornographic magazine can sell more than 200,000 copies?"
"That's true. I traded the car for 500,000 yuan, which could be paid off in two months. I believe I won't have to wait too long for the 5 million yuan today." Fat Cat smiled. He already had a bias in his mind towards Yin Zhaotang's ambiguous answer.
It is not a judgment based on evidence, it is purely trust in a person.
"When are you going to visit the factory? Running a factory is about doing business, not about running a stable. All you have to do is keep an eye on a few girls and serve the customers well."
"Old Mo has a narrow vision, a straightforward personality, and a typical gangster. But what he said is true. It is not easy to make money."
“It’s not enough to know which way the wind is blowing, you have to be able to run with the wind.”
Yin Zhaotang thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Sheung Shui Wai at 2pm. I'll introduce someone to you." Fat Cat said with a smile, "If you want to start work in the New Territories, you need help. Otherwise, no one will come to recruit workers." "Lao Zhong's reputation is earned all the way from the New Territories. He has acquaintances in Sheung Shui Wai!"
Doing business requires mutual support, and connections are definitely necessary.
Yin Zhaotang readily agreed: "Thank you, Grandpa, I will be there on time."
"The connections left by the predecessors of the club were not available to the staff members in the past. Today, someone can use them. I feel happy instead." Fat Cat took a sip of tea, leaned back in his chair, and spoke sincerely.
Seeing that grandpa looked a little tired, Yin Zhaotang said a few polite words and took the opportunity to go downstairs with Du Zihua.
Just because the pomelo teapot in grandpa's hand was particularly eye-catching, I paid more attention to the right corner of the attic than usual. On a vertical side cabinet made of rosewood, there were several famous purple clay teapots collected by grandpa.
Although there is no price or the name of the master potter written next to the pot, it is obviously expensive. Yesterday, my grandfather was so angry that he smashed the pumpkin pot. If I come across a suitable good pot next time, I should buy another one for my old bones to avoid giving people a chance to complain behind my back.
Egg Tart and his friends were drinking tea at a table in the hall. When they saw the boss coming downstairs, they stood up to greet him and called out, "Boss!"
"Brother Tang."
Yin Zhaotang noticed that one person was missing and asked in confusion, "Where's Ah Hao?"
"Brother Hao has gone to take over the territory of Taizi Road." A Le replied.
Yin Zhaotang smiled and said, "You're pretty quick."
"This time, King has made a great contribution in planting the flag of Prince Road. The eight new KTVs that the gang has been allocated will be handed over to King to manage."
King used to work with Danta. When Danta saw his subordinates stepping forward, his expression became very happy and he said proudly, "Brother Tang, eight KTVs are too many, aren't they?"
"Just divide it into two or three rooms."
Yin Zhaotang patted his head and said, "You're taking advantage of me. What's the point of dividing it into two or three rooms? Ah King killed the Dance King. We have to let everyone know that working for Shenxiantang is worth it!"
"The flag of Prince Dao will be carried by King from now on. You, as the boss, should lend a helping hand and dispatch some troops to help him."
Egg Tart pretended to feel pain, rubbed his head and said, "Got it, boss."
Ah Lok asked, "Brother Tang, there's a scoundrel from Prince Road who wants to follow you, will you take him in?"
In the underworld, if you are rich and famous, you will never lack followers.
Yin Zhaotang had passed the stage of personally recruiting bad guys to fight for territory, and said without hesitation: "I will not recruit bad guys anymore. If someone wants to switch gears with you, they will be blue lanterns first."
"If you have performance, you will be accepted into the club when the club opens its doors next time."
The society's power has grown after several expansions, and each branch has recruited many new followers. They have to open their gates at the latest by the end of the year.
Yin Zhaotang is now a famous double flower red stick, and he is considered a top figure in Yau Tsim Mong. It is normal for him not to accept four-nine boys. If you want to be a henchman under such a gangster, you either need to be introduced by an intermediary, or have a family background, or have something special.
Because he has the protection and is famous, he should take care of his reputation.
Ah Le also understood the logic behind it, and nodded, "I know what to do. Where should we go now, Boss?"
"Have afternoon tea, then pick up Ah Hui from the Lutheran School. By the way, go to the church. I have something to talk to the pastor about. Remember to buy some gifts to thank the pastor for being your guarantor." Yin Zhaotang wanted to spend money to get the bad boys into the church school, and wondered if Pastor Edward was willing to help.
