Chapter 163 Power does not allow turning back
"Uncle Jiu, Fat Cat and the others want to see you."
Liang Jiacong performed the etiquette of a younger generation, bent down and pushed the electric wheelchair all the way to the clear pond in the back hall of the ancestral hall.
Fat Cat, Yin Zhaotang was waiting at the door. He stepped forward to help straighten the chair and bowed respectfully, "Uncle Jiu."
"Fat cat, Tangzi."
"What do you want from me?"
Chao Ajiu's face was filled with smiles, as if he was sitting in the spring breeze. He picked up the intercom and placed it against his Adam's apple, emitting sound through resonance.
Last year, Uncle Jiu had a thyroid nodule. After the surgery to remove it last night, he developed a sequela of dysphonia. In fact, it was because his throat was damaged and his pronunciation was inaccurate.
You can make sounds by opening your mouth, but they will suddenly be out of tune.
So I bought a talkie and used it for daily communication.
Fat Cat walked over, took the wheelchair's armrests with both hands naturally, and whispered: "Uncle Jiu, there is something about the future of Zhongyi Hall that I would like to ask you."
Chao Ajiu, using the speaker, responded happily, "Okay."
At his age, the more he can help the younger generation, the more he feels that life is still valuable. Helping people does not require rewards, just a few sweet words are enough.
The smart white fat cat of the Liang family had something important to talk about. After nodding to Yin Zhaotang, he retreated to the back hall, lit a cigarette, and waited slowly.
Fat Cat pushed his wheelchair to the front of the pond and asked slowly, "Uncle Jiu, Zhongyitang has found a legitimate way to do business. Can we stop selling powder?"
He didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
Chao Ajiu had no psychological preparation at all, his face could not help but change suddenly, his hands were shaking, and he raised the speaker and said: "Fat Cat, if you don't sell powder, what else can the Chaoshan Gang sell!"
"Sell pork, sell sneakers, and in the future sell houses, land, and stocks." Fat Cat answered without hesitation.
He had reviewed this road with Yin Zhaotang several times and was deeply shocked by Yin Zhaotang's business vision. He had to admit that Yin Zhaotang had a genius intuition.
Because the tide of the times never happens suddenly, but comes wave after wave, pushing it up again and again, and finally setting off huge waves!
There is always a group of people in the world who have the courage to decide everything in the world.
It all depends on whether you dare to think about it, dare to do it, and dare to believe it!
Shenxiantang's performance in Zhongyi Hall has completely conquered everyone, and no one dares to question it.
Now Fat Cat is Chao Ajiu's most direct reaction, testing the truthfulness of Chao Ajiu's words.
Chao Ajiu breathed rapidly, with a look of surprise on his face, and tremblingly said: "Selling pork and sneakers can support you and feed the group of hungry wolves in the customs and police force?"
"If this line is broken, the people below will have nothing to eat, and the people above will not be well fed. Be careful that they will join forces to get you out!"
Yin Zhaotang took in Chao Ajiu's expression and discovered that the old man's first thought was not opposition, but deep concern.
I’m afraid that Zhongyitang, which has just become popular again, cannot withstand this storm.
Fat Cat said with a relaxed but determined tone: "Uncle, all I want is to be eliminated."
Even if he was shot in the head, Zhongyitang would have washed its hands of the matter and settled the account.
Chao Ajiu hammered the wheelchair with his hands excitedly, and the hoarse electric sound of the intercom was intermittent: "Puh, puh your mother, our Chaozhou Gang, the Chaozhou Gang finally has talents who can compete for the top four again."
"I, I've always felt that being a white powder is a dead end!"
Yin Zhaotang quickly took the intercom from Chao Ajiu and adjusted the audio adjustment switch.
Fat Cat gently patted Chao Ajiu's back to calm Uncle Jiu's overly excited emotions.
Chao Ajiu recovered his breath, took the speaker, and said sincerely: "Making money through prostitution is money that will destroy your family line. All societies that are involved in prostitution are in constant turmoil." "Besides, countries all over the world are cleaning up prostitution. If you want to sell goods, you have to look at the faces of officials. My head was smashed by Lei Luo with an ashtray, and it still hurts when it rains!"
"When Yiqun was at his most powerful, he was one of the four big names, and even the Teochew gang became very popular. But with the last government decree, even the Chief Chinese Detective had to flee."
"Selling drugs has no future!"
The "Big Four" mentioned by Chao Ajiu do not refer to the four major social societies, but to the four signs in Hong Kong Island at that time, representing the top four major social societies in Hong Kong Island.
Fat Cat said cheerfully, "I feel relieved with Uncle Jiu's words."
Chao Ajiu was full of emotion: "If I were still the leader of Yihongying a dozen years ago, I would definitely ask you to continue selling!"
"After all, being a fan is a high-risk business, so it's best to always work with people you know."
"But today I have to rely on an electronic machine to speak. Screw it. There is no future in selling drugs!"
Fat Cat nodded: "When I hand over the club to Atang, Uncle Jiu, remember to say a few more words to Atang."
Yin Zhaotang said, "Grandpa, I have little experience. If the society can get cleaned up and get ashore, it will have great potential in the future. Grandpa will have to take charge of the overall situation."
Fat Cat glanced at him and cursed in dissatisfaction: "You still don't want to take the lead and sit in the third position of the hall?"
"Be careful or I will die with my eyes wide open and come to you in your dreams."
Chao Ajiu laughed and said, "With my help, you don't have to sacrifice your life. Besides, Zhongyi Hall has developed so well in the past two years, and the people in the officialdom have to give them some face."
"Ah Tang, let me ask you, is it because you don't want to be a fan to make money?"
Yin Zhaotang nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Jiu."
"What's the point of Lao Zhengxing?"
"Is it to make money or to seize power? Think it through!" Chao Ajiu said in a solemn tone. He sat in a wheelchair with an assistant in his hand, but for the first time he reproduced the demeanor of the person who was in charge back then.
He is no longer the kindly old man dozing in the sun under the Tang building.
Yin Zhaotang wanted to answer that he wanted to make money, but when he met Uncle Jiu's eyes that saw through the world, he said introspectively: "Seize power!"
Chao Ajiu nodded: "That's right!"
"If you just want to be a big player, with your business skills, you can just support your younger brother to be the boss. You don't need to take risks and cut off the connection of the fans. It's nothing more than spending money to support the club and become the boss of the club."
"In the 1960s, anyone who had a small business was scrambling for a position, and almost every chamber of commerce had a "Zi-Zi" (a small business that was run by a small company). Therefore, there were probably 200 to 300 "Zi-Zi" (a small business that was run by a small company) in Hong Kong in those years. The smallest one had only a dozen people, helping the boss to manage a warehouse."
"Money is water, and money is living water. It is only natural for the big money pipes to share money with the thugs. Only if you want power, you need to stop selling drugs, because you want people, Zhongyitang and Chaoshan Gang are all your people!"
Yin Zhaotang's heart was in turmoil. He was nervous about having his ambitions exposed, but also excited about the future. He bowed and listened to the teachings of his predecessors.
Chao Ajiu leaned back in his chair, stretched out a hand, turned his palm and said, "There is black and white in the sky, day and night on earth, and power is divided into those on the stage and those on the ground. Those on the stage are glorious, and those on the ground are filthy."
"But unfortunately, there are good and bad people in power, and power is never black and white. Police can become corrupt police, and gangs can form militias. I have seen martyrs from the Hongmen, and I have also seen garbage from social organizations."
“Power, no matter who you are, will help you turn the clouds into rain, reach the moon and the sun, move mountains and fill the sea. From then on, you are no longer yourself, but those who hold power have the ability to make all choices.”
"But remember, power does not allow you to look back. You can only move forward, forward, and forward again!"
Yin Zhaotang took a deep breath, bowed and said, "Uncle Jiu, I remember it."
The combined age of his two lives was not even as high as Uncle Jiu's in his first life, so how could he be so arrogant as to look down on the life experience of an elder? If what he had was the future, then what Uncle Jiu had summarized was the past.
The future is destined to be turbulent, and the past has also been glorious.
