Chapter 328: The Gangster and the Beggar

Yin Zhaotang held his girlfriend's hand, looking unhappy, and responded: "If you are in a hurry to get the goods, what's the point of looking for me?"

"Hurry up and ask the Bamboo Union gang's boss to send another batch of spare parts!"

Niu Qiang nodded hurriedly: "Boss, I will contact the people in Taiwan immediately."

"Want to go in and take a look?" Yin Zhaotang stopped in front of a glass display case in a shop.

There were two strings of jewellery and a few watches in the cabinet.

Liang Xinying wore glasses, carried an Hermès handbag, and wore a Chanel runway outfit: a milk-coffee colored jacket, a wool sweater underneath, and a long skirt in the same color.

The dressing style used in later generations is called "Chanel style", which is a way for rich people to save time and effort.

"Let's go for a walk." Liang Xinying held his fingers tightly, showing great intimacy.

Yin Zhaotang took a deep puff of the cigarette, threw away the butt, slowly exhaled the white smoke, and then walked into the store with his girlfriend and several bodyguards.

The clerks at the counter and the one greeting guests at the door had already noticed the arrival of the two wealthy young men and women, but they did not dare to come out to disturb them.

He had been looking out with anticipation in his eyes, and was delighted when he saw a group of people coming in.

The store manager quickly sent two cashiers to greet them and introduce the brand and products. Liang Xinying would listen to the introduction of the products, but Yin Zhaotang simply ignored them all.

When shopping, men don’t need to make decisions or care about anything. Just remember to swipe your card when paying. Malls are women’s battlefields, and shopping is a women’s game.

Neither of them cares about the brand.

The white-collar class consumes for the sake of brands, believing that big brands can bring social status and a sense of identity.

But when people become wealthy, it doesn’t matter if they are big rich, small rich, old money or new rich.

Social status no longer needs to be supported by external things, and shopping concepts tend to return to basics. It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive, the goods must be good. Don’t worry about the brand, just bring out good goods.

The premium is OK, saving time, effort and worry, none of them can be lost.

Even the "earth wealth" of those who have been relocated can create a "slippers joke", which shows that people's hearts tend to be consistent. Some white-collar workers and middle-class people sell luxury goods, not because they don't understand the situation, but because they hate their bad luck and try to prove that they have become rich.

Some brands deliberately promote bubbles just to win the hearts of white-collar workers.

It was not until he signed the receipt that Yin Zhaotang discovered that the store’s brand was Cartier.

As he walked out of the door with all the shop assistants lined up and bowed, he saw a beggar across the street. He suddenly felt a little dazed and even subconsciously looked away to avoid contact with the beggar.

Mr. Yin can't bear to see the sufferings of the world!

This is not a joke, it is true. He started out as a businessman from the bottom in both of his lives. His achievements were lower in his previous life, but in this life, with the support of his brothers, more ruthless means and information advantages, he rose to prominence very quickly.

Judging from the industrial layout and business scope, he is not extremely wealthy, but he is definitely a rising star in the business world.

In the past life, the domestic poverty alleviation work was done better, and the overall environment was quite good from a global perspective, so similar feelings were not too strong.

In this life in Hong Kong Island, the gap between the rich and the poor, the class differentiation, and the gap between the urban and suburban areas are really huge.

It would have been fine if I hadn’t seen it. I had just stepped out of a luxury goods store and spent more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy a gift for my girlfriend, when I turned around and saw a disabled person begging on the side of the road.

A feeling of shame arose spontaneously and rushed to the top of my head, making me dare not think about it too much.

Because he is a person who climbed up from the bottom of society, he has truly seen the sufferings of the world and knows how painful it is. He has no conscience at all and cannot smile at all.

This kind of sympathy, guilt and shame are brought about by education and conscience.

Maybe it was engraved in my bones when I was seven or eight years old.

Many of the world's self-made wealthy people are keen on charity and willing to do "people's work". They often have experienced difficulties in their childhood.

People who come from old money families pursue charity mostly for profit.

At this time, Yin Zhaotang stopped on the side of the road, his body stiff, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Liang Xinying keenly noticed the change in his mood, followed his line of sight, understood what he meant, and walked straight across the long street with Yin Zhaotang.

"There will be a consultation at Queen Mary Hospital in Pokfulam tomorrow, remember to contact me." Liang Xinying opened her purse, took out a business card, bent down and handed it to the beggar in front of her.

The beggar looked at the two well-dressed people and didn't dare to start a conversation. He took the business card and thanked them repeatedly. "Friend, if you have any trouble, come to 91 Company on Shanghai Street to find me." Yin Zhaotang took out a hundred-yuan bill and put it in the begging bowl.

There are some rubbish gangs in Kowloon that run child begging businesses, but the Wan Chai area is a shopping center, so the uniformed police and triads have organized cleanup operations.

Beggars who can survive here basically do not have a triad background.

Liang Xinying's small actions comforted his heart. Yin Zhaotang smiled brighter and continued shopping with her.

While buying drinks, Yin Zhaotang asked with a smile, "Does the hospital really offer consultations?"

"Yes, the philanthropist Mr. Yin sponsored it." Liang Xinying said.

"No problem, as long as it doesn't affect Dr. Liang's work." Yin Zhaotang looked relieved and cheerful. It seemed that the harder he struggled in the world, the more he needed to do good deeds.

You can be cruel in doing things, but not in being a human being!
"How can it affect my work? I have a big boss supporting me, and I can see patients based on my mood. I plan to focus on academic research and charity consultation in the future."

As the head of the hearing center and an authoritative hearing expert in Hong Kong, Leung Sin-ying earns a very considerable income.

She used to see patients for money.

Queen Mary Hospital is a public hospital, but it is not cheap.

"OK, let's organize more consultations and help the residents in the shantytown." Yin Zhaotang chatted casually.

Niu Qiang suddenly trotted over to the boss and whispered, "Boss, Jibazi said that if you want to expedite it, you have to pay ten points more."

"Choosing that star, are you trying to scare me?"

"Three points for hard work, and more for cooperation."

In business, it is normal to be sold at a high price when you are in a hurry to get a batch of goods. But the Bamboo Union Gang is not short of goods at all. Asking for 10 yuan is just treating him as a fool.

In the Fujian and Taiwan dialects, "Ba Zi" means "big brother". In Taiwanese gangster movies, there is often a term "carrying big brother". The nickname of the godfather of the Bamboo Union, Chen Qili, is "Duck Bazi". In fact, when he was a younger brother, he had a nickname of "landlubber". When he was promoted to a big brother, he was called "Duck Bazi".

"Ji Ba Zi" is the nickname of "Hua Ji", the leader of the Tiger Hall of the Bamboo Union Gang, a very powerful gangster in Taipei.

Niu Qiang replied: "I understand, boss, I will definitely talk to him about it."

Ask for a high price, but pay back the money.

As long as the boss is willing to add a little money, the Bamboo Union will definitely not fail to ship the goods.

After a while, Niu Qiang came back and said that the deal had been reached and the new parts would be delivered to Hong Kong Island as quickly as possible.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Shanghai Street, company office.

Yin Zhaotang had just signed the financial documents and asked the accountant to transfer the down payment to the Bamboo Union Gang when Sha Hui came to the door and reported: "Master Ding, someone is looking for you."

"Which sir?" After Yin Zhaotang had crawled through the muddy stage of his start-up, the people who received him were much calmer and composed.

Jimmy Lai appeared behind Shahui, wearing a grey jacket, with one hand in his pocket, and said in a clear voice: "Mr. Yin, I have something to ask you to help me with."

"What's the matter, Sir Li? If there is news, it will be revealed." Yin Zhaotang waved his hand and asked Shahui to pour tea, then stood up and asked Li Zhibin to sit on the sofa.

As soon as Jimmy Lai sat down, he said in a swift and decisive manner: "The price of white powder in Kowloon has dropped rapidly recently. The intelligence analysis team showed that there may be new drug dealers in Hong Kong Island."

"Did Yin Sheng hear about this?"

Yin Zhaotang said: "Are you kidding me? You thought I was selling powder?"

Jimmy Lai shook his head and said, "Mr. Yin, don't get me wrong. Everyone at O's knows that Lao Zhong hasn't brought any goods for a long time. If Lao Zhong wasn't clean, I wouldn't dare to enter the store."

Yin Zhaotang crossed his legs, took a long drag on his cigar, exhaled slowly, and said in dissatisfaction: "Whether it's tied or not, whether it's done or not, you still want to trouble me?"

Li Zhibin smiled awkwardly and stood up to say goodbye: "If Yin Sheng doesn't know, forget it."

"Last year, the weather in the Golden Triangle was good, and the production was large. In addition, two cargo-carrying groups in the mainland had just been eliminated, so there was a large amount of goods waiting to be sold."

"I hope Yin Sheng can manage the people below well."
