Chapter 164 Roots, Can't Be Cut
Chapter 164 Roots, Can't Be Cut
Uncle Jiu deeply felt that Atang was a young man worth cultivating, and patiently explained: "Just listen carefully, and you will remember it when you need it."
"You know that what you want is power. The current situation is very clear. You have the power of Mong Kok Hall, and in the future you will have the power of the entire Zhongyi Hall."
"Breaking off the use of drugs is actually an attempt to move underground power to the stage."
At this time, Fat Cat was listening very seriously, let alone Yin Zhaotang.
He was completely immersed in it and nodded, "Yes."
"Have you ever thought about why Fat Cat is willing to support you, or why the brothers in the club are willing to support you when there is not even one person competing with you for a big bottom."
"Because I have money." Yin Zhaotang said.
Chao Ajiu said: "No, you are rich at most, but you are a rich man because you can lead the brothers to make money and make the society bigger."
"Only those who have the ability to make cakes are qualified to share cakes. Those who eat your cakes have to listen to you. This is not only true for people, but also for dogs. Therefore, if you have power, never forget to make cakes and share cakes."
"I fled to Malaysia by boat, and later went to Kiev, San Francisco, and London to sell goods in the Golden Triangle. Gradually I discovered that losing fans is the easiest way to destroy power!"
"Whether you are in power or underground, once you touch drugs, you are finished. Because drugs not only destroy your body, but also control your mind."
"Smart gangs will hand over the fans to a team of brothers to manage separately, and prevent them from contacting ordinary henchmen. More experienced gangs would rather make less money than take the risk of being a dealer in transporting goods. They would just be a small dealer and earn the distribution fee."
In the past, Uncle Mao managed the fan business separately, and Yi Hongying was undoubtedly practicing his experience as the person in charge.
"My grandfather once told me that an uncle he knew from the Chaoshan gang asked him if he was brave enough to go to Thailand," Yin Zhaotang joked.
Chao Ajiu smiled but said nothing: "But there is a more clever way, that is to use the money earned from the fans to do legitimate business. Daxiao Ma has set a good example. Oriental Press still has sales of over 100,000 copies to date, and earns tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars for 'Baifen Ma' every year!"
The Big and Small Ma refers to the two brothers Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen of the Oriental Press Group, who were once Lao Fu's double-flowered red sticks.
Since being accused by ICAC of smuggling 1977 tons of cocaine in 700, the Cocaine Ma family has become a synonym for the Ma family. Hong Kong citizens all know that the Oriental Press Group was built on drug money, but it still does not prevent the Oriental Press Group from making a fortune.
A company that has established a firm foothold in an industry will not fall down even if it encounters some storm.
Chao Ajiu is well-informed and knows what is good and what is bad, so he truly knows that Yin Zhaotang is on the right path.
Yin Zhaotang said he didn't like this analogy, and shook his head and said, "Uncle Jiu, Baifenma ended up running away, I don't like to use them as an example."
Uncle Jiu sighed, "Young people have high aspirations. In that era when the police issued licenses and there were dozens of people collecting protection fees in one place, it was genius that Da Ma and Da Ma thought of finding a legitimate business!"
"Although they ran away, the Ma family is still rich. Now the gang leaders can see clearly that there is no future in making money through illegal means, and they keep saying that they need to transform and keep a low profile."
"But apart from doing a little charity occasionally and showing loyalty to the government."
"What the hell do you know?"
"The Ma brothers took the right path, but they were on the wrong stage."
Yin Zhaotang knew that the Ma family fell into the anti-corruption storm together with Lei Luo and his group, and became a stepping stone for Governor MacLehose to establish his prestige. Clean governance in Hong Kong has since become a symbol.
But there can be no real integrity in the political arena. Anti-corruption is about fighting corruption, not corruption. In an era when everyone is corrupt, anti-corruption is the most useful tool, and ICAC is the most useful knife. Kill all the corrupt officials you want to kill, and the only ones left are a group of loyal dogs who are both obedient and submissive.
No matter how many years pass, as long as the dog is still there, won’t the British still have the final say in Hong Kong Island?
Uncle Jiu asked, "Ah Tang, have you decided which stage you want to go on?"
Yin Zhaotang pondered and said, "As a Chinese, I have yellow skin and no choice!"
Uncle Jiu nodded in agreement, "That's good to know, that's good to know. For us Chinese who went to Southeast Asia, we have to shed ten drops of blood to earn one dollar. The farther we are from home, the more we know that our roots are connected to our bodies."
"It can't be erased, and it can't be cut off."
Overseas Chinese have always been an important force of the Chinese nation. In the two historical events of overthrowing feudalism and fighting against the Japanese invaders, donated funds once accounted for more than 50% of the total military aid.
The two did not even elaborate on which faction the stage referred to, because Chinese people born before the 1970s and 1980s all regarded the mainland as their motherland.
They are people who have seen the world and know who is benefiting from Hong Kong's economic boom. Only among those Hong Kong people born after the 1980s is there room for cockroaches to breed.
They are all blinded by interests and confuse right and wrong for their financial backers.
The mainland not only won two wars in a row and defended its political sovereignty, but also created a peaceful environment for development. Now that economic reforms have begun, the whole land is full of vitality.
Chao Ajiu is old and doesn't have the ability to return to China to make a living, but that doesn't stop him from seeing where the future lies.
What’s even more fortunate is that Atang’s vision is not limited to a few island cities.
"Now that you have chosen the right stage, you have to think carefully about what position Zhongyi Hall should occupy in the future. You still have a lot of time. Now wash your hands, change your clothes and wait for your appearance."
"You did nothing wrong. What I can do to help you is to say hello to Gao Hai and ask you to find a new person to be responsible for the goods from the Golden Triangle to Hong Kong Island." Chao Ajiu said.
Fat Cat nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll find it."
"Before the first transaction is successful, any problems with the goods will be your responsibility. In addition, I will help you talk to your partners in Hong Kong. But I can't guarantee whether they will give me this face."
Yin Zhaotang smiled and said, "With Uncle Jiu's help, I have saved myself a lot of worries."
Fat Cat said, "It's impossible to do this without any risk. If Zhongyitang can withdraw, I will repay Uncle Jiu by carrying his coffin."
Chao Ajiu held the intercom and suddenly spoke in a much louder voice, cursing, "Fat Cat, you don't need to carry my coffin. I'm going to scatter it into the sea."
"But I have one request. If you have the chance, you must bring Yi Hongying along when Atang goes on stage."
"Help Gao Hai find a place in the mainland, do some legitimate business, and keep the sign hanging longer."
Yin Zhaotang felt that everything the old man did was for the sake of his descendants, and he respected him from the bottom of his heart. He said solemnly: "One day, I will definitely regard Yihongying as my own brand."
Chao Ajiu put down the speaker and said in a hoarse and sharp voice: "That's good."
Fat Cat pushed Uncle Jiu to continue walking around the ancestral hall, and smiled as he asked Yin Zhaotang to go first to avoid having Ah Hao and the others wait anxiously.
