Chapter 98 New Territories Liao
Chapter 98 New Territories Liao
The next day, morning.
Zuo Shou, wearing a suit, hurriedly got out of the car, his leather shoes stepped carelessly in the mud, with a few spots of mud splashed on his trouser legs, and sunglasses on his face. He rushed to the boss and brothers and said hello: "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I'm a little late."
"Sorry, big man!"
Yin Zhaotang shook his head, indicating that it was okay. Dantart smiled at his attire, reached out to take his eggs, and loudly teased, "Pick, imitate others and wear a suit and tie, pretend to be a cultured person!"
He clamped his legs together with his left hand, bent his knees to defend himself, pushed the egg tart away, and said confidently: "You idiot, people need to learn how to improve, understand!"
"Do you want me to give you another briefcase?" A Le had a crew cut, wore a white T-shirt, and looked energetic.
Zuoshou smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Le, I like Burberry."
"Go and get your ass cleaned up, it's Burberry." A Le muttered.
Yin Zhaotang patted the dust off his hands and said, "Okay, I told Zuoshou to dress more formally. Grandpa wants to introduce a friend from the New Territories to me at noon. I guess he should be a powerful person in the local area."
"Ah Hao is in charge of the hotel, Dan Tart is in charge of the stables, Ah Le is in charge of the magazine distribution, and Zuo Shou will help me with the factory. Is there any problem?"
“No!”
"Brother Left Hand, congratulations."
"Big business!"
Ah Le, Dan Tart and Jiang Hao all expressed their approval.
The news that Lao Zhong spent 5 million Hong Kong dollars to take over the factory has spread throughout the industry. Although the sneaker factory has not started to make money yet, everyone knows the value of a sneaker factory.
If I can help the boss revitalize the factory, I will be able to show off in front of my grandfather.
The four brothers around Yin Zhaotang are all somewhat intelligent, but Danta has a soft personality. He can be a stable boy, but he is not qualified to work in a factory.
Jiang Hao is a real fighter. He can be a fierce warrior in the underworld, but in business he can only do brainless black business.
Ale is hard-working and ambitious, but lacks some understanding.
The left hand has the greatest talent for business and is often the first to understand his ideas. If you bring him around to gain experience for a period of time, he may be able to stand on his own in the future and become a talent for industrialization.
Yin Zhaotang has his own business and the community's business, and he does both illegal and illegal business. It is impossible for him to do everything by himself, so cultivating talents is a very important step.
Without trustworthy helpers, even the biggest business will slowly be eaten away by others.
He took out a Marlboro from his suit pocket with his left hand. Just as he was about to open the box, Dan Tart held him back and asked with a puzzled look, "What are you doing, Dan Tart?"
"Brother Tang said that smoking is not allowed in the factory." Dan Tart said seriously.
Yin Zhaotang nodded gently and looked back at his left hand: "The clothing factory must ban fires throughout the factory. Work will officially start next month. Employees will be searched when entering and leaving the factory, and are not allowed to bring fire into the factory."
"What if the workers want to smoke?" asked Zuoshou.
"Bear it."
"If they can't help it, it means they are not working hard enough. Give them more overtime until they have no brains left to smoke." Yin Zhaotang bared the fangs of a capitalist.
Zuoshou and Dantart all felt cold in their hearts, thinking that the boss was too cruel, but they did not understand how important fire control was to clothing factories. No matter what era it was, there were many clothing factory owners who went bankrupt because of fire.
He put away the cigarette in his left hand and nodded in agreement: "I understand, boss."
"Let's go." Yin Zhaotang walked around the factory, got a basic understanding, and then took a few brothers to eat at the food stalls in Sheung Shui Wai. Grandpa made an appointment at two o'clock in the afternoon, which clearly meant that he was not going to include meals. Going there on an empty stomach and speaking with insufficient breath would make people laugh. "Brother Tang, watch." Jiang Hao was halfway through his meal when he took out a silver Rolex from his trouser pocket, wiped the dial with his sleeve, exhaled, and handed it to the boss who was eating pork chop rice.
When Yin Zhaotang saw that the watch was the one he had pawned at Xingli Pawnshop last time, he put down his chopsticks, took the watch and put it on, and said happily, "Ah Hao, how much did you pay to redeem it?"
"It's only a few tens of thousands of dollars. I happened to pass by Chongqing Building last night, so I went up to ask. It's normal to use personal belongings for emergency needs, but we're afraid that the big circle guys will laugh at us for being incompetent if we just pretend not to redeem them." Jiang Hao continued to eat with his head down.
"Have a heart."
Yin Zhaotang also thought about redeeming the watch, but he didn't have time to hang out in Chongqing Building recently. Jiang Hao made a special trip there, which really showed his loyalty.
He opened a pawn ticket for 500,000 yuan to the Daquan Gang, but in the end only spent half of the money. He handed over the place on Taizi Road to King, and all the brothers in the gang were convinced.
The egg tart was still looking for the boss to pay the bill, and Niu Qiang received a call. He stood up from the table next to him and walked over, bowing and saying, "Brother Tang, Grandpa is notifying you to come over."
"Where?" Yin Zhaotang said, wiping his mouth.
Niu Qiang conveyed with a bewildered look on his face: "Liao Wanshitang."
Yin Zhaotang was indeed a little stunned when he heard the pronunciation of "shi", but he suddenly realized that it was the Liao Wanshi (dan) family. The Liao in the name is one of the five major surnames in the New Territories, and they are landlords in Sheung Shui Township. The Wanshi is because Liao Gang, the ancestor of the Liao family, and his four sons successively served as high officials with a salary of 2,000 dan in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to the tradition of ancient families, they can be collectively called the "Wanshi" family.
The Liao Man Shek Hall is the largest ancestral hall of the Liao family in the New Territories. It is located at the main entrance of Sheung Shui Village. The owner of the food stall happened to be surnamed Liao. After asking him for directions to confirm, the group got in the car and headed to the Liao Clan Ancestral Hall.
Before leaving, Jiang Hao held the boss's car door, glanced at the roadside with a subtle look, and whispered, "Brother Tang, there's a tail."
A silver-gray Chevrolet was parked under a tree a hundred meters away. A plainclothes policeman was standing at the front of the car eating a box lunch, while another plainclothes policeman was releasing water on the edge of a field.
The members of Organized Crime and Triad Society did not seem to conceal their identities deliberately. They seemed to be carrying out their mission openly and honestly. Even a group of gangsters would not dare to cause trouble.
"No, they can't enter the Liao Clan Ancestral Hall." Yin Zhaotang patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder and got into the car calmly with confidence on his face. Jiang Hao put his heart back in his stomach, nodded slightly, and waved his arms to invite his brothers to get in the car.
The leader of the Jing Zhongyi Tseung Kwan O Hall, Guang Zai, was wearing a white shorts and holding a cigarette, standing in front of the ancestral hall on a piece of open space paved with stone slabs and filled with Feng Shui potted plants. He was accompanied by a tall and strong young man wearing a Zhongshan suit, a big backcombed hair, and glasses.
Two Mercedes-Benz and three Crown cars stopped in front of the red-walled, green-tiled, and high-cornered ancestral hall. Guangzai threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, said "coming", and went to meet them with the young man in the Zhongshan suit.
Yin Zhaotang got out of the car and greeted Guangzai immediately when he saw him: "Brother Guang!"
Guangzai shook hands with him and introduced the young man next to him who was nearly 40 years old: "Ah Tang, this is Mr. Liao Zhihong from the eldest branch of the Liao family. He is the eldest son of Mr. Liao Runchen, a Justice of the Peace in the New Territories and the first vice chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk. His name is Mr. Liao."
Liao Zhihong shook hands with Yin Zhaotang enthusiastically and said, "It's too strange to call me Mr. Liao all the time. Uncle Mao is a senior who watched me grow up, and Brother Guang is also an old friend."
"I am a few years older than you, so I call you Atang. You can call me Brother Zhihong. We are all brothers."
This was Yin Zhaotang's first time dealing with the Liao family, so he followed the host's wishes and agreed with a smile, "Okay, Brother Zhihong."
"I heard that you are going to open a factory in Sheung Shui Wai in the future, remember to visit us often." Liao Zhihong smiled.
Guangzai said, "Grandpa and Uncle Liao are waiting for us in the ancestral hall for tea. Let's go in and say hello first."
"Let's go!"
Yin Zhaotang followed Liao Zhihong with a proper smile and polite eyes, and was very tactful. But Niu Qiang, Zuoshou and others who followed behind him frequently glanced at Liao Zhihong's empty right sleeve.
The bad guys never expected to meet a guy with a one-arm.
