Chapter 387 Brother, Times Have Changed
Chapter 387 Brother, Times Have Changed
Xiang Qian, wearing a white suit and black sunglasses, walked in with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Did you enjoy dividing the money last night?" Han Jingshan asked with his thick brows furrowed and murderous eyes.
"Cool.
"I had some good wine, watched a show, and made $200,000 for free. Of course it was great." Xiang Qian said with a smile.
“Mad.
"You're kidding me, I asked you to date him, not to cheer for him?
“Old Qiu is dead.
“He has been following me since Yuezhou.
"My best brother is dead."
Han Jingshan slammed the table and said angrily.
“Good death.
“He deserves to die.
"If you keep doing this, you'll die too."
Xiang Qian said coldly.
"Hey, Mr. Xiang, you're going too far." The third brother reminded him dissatisfiedly.
"Excessive?
“You people are just so self-righteous that you cannot listen to the truth.
"Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that we are all comrades in the Party and the country, why would I come here?"
Xiang Qian smiled.
“Old Han.
"We used to hang out with Boss Dai, but he dumped us and passed away, so we started hanging out in gangs again.
"What are you trying to do here?
"Isn't it just those three melons and two dates?"
Xiang Qian held a cigarette in his mouth and pointed at everyone, saying arrogantly and exaggeratedly:
"Don't you know how much money Hong Zhi has?
“His ability is far beyond our imagination.
“We are still worrying about whether to pay Jianfeng US$2 million.
“They just threw away two million without blinking an eye.
“He lit his cigarette with a dollar bill.
“Even the toilet paper we use to wipe our butts is in US dollars.
"He's a man of integrity, always keeping his word, the God of Wealth known throughout Asia Pacific.
"Are we against him?
“We’re fighting against money.
"Tell me, how do you play?
"Ok.
"And you guys, tell me, how do you play?"
He leaned on the table, stared at Han Jingshan, and then looked at the other bigwigs of Hongfahui who looked depressed.
"Yes, so what if I have money?" A hall master with pockmarks on his face shouted.
“I didn’t hear you clearly.
"Say it again!" Xiang Qian pointed to his ear and asked with his head tilted.
"I..." The man was suddenly speechless.
Everyone in the hall was either clicking their tongues or frowning in displeasure, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
“He has money, and I have money.
"I'll buy his head, too."
Han Jingshan raised his hand and said without much confidence.
“You bought his head?
"Brother, can your people enter Hong Island?
"Why, do you really want to rush in with two thousand guns?
"Even if you can get in, can you get to the Presidential Palace of the Northern Committee of the Taiwan Strait? Can you get to the official residence of MacArthur, the Allied Commander?
“It only took Hong Zhi an hour to buy our heads.
“If we continue to hide, we can only wander around in this palm-sized area of Xiangdao.
"When they go out, they take helicopters and warships, my brother Han.
"He's standing on a U.S. ship and asking you to shoot him. Do you dare to shoot?"
Xiang Qian was speechless about his brain, which still couldn't see the situation clearly.
"Lao Xiang, stop trying to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige.
“I still have 20,000 brothers under me.
“It’s the largest gang in Hong Kong.
"Who is afraid of who if you are out there?
"If he pisses me off, we'll both die together. I'll charge his Hong Island and kill his entire family."
Han Jingshan turned his head away and said fiercely.
Xiang Qian shrugged and smiled.
He did not deny that Han Jingshan was a ruthless man and had the confidence and strength to do so.
“What are you doing here?
"Will the man surnamed Hong come to Lingyun Temple?"
Seeing that Xiang Qian didn't say anything, his anger subsided a little. He put his legs on the stool, poured a sip of tea and drank it in one gulp.
“He’s not coming.
“He said you’re nothing in his eyes.
“You’re not even worthy of talking to him.
"I'm sorry, he asked me to convey his exact words to you."
Said Xiang Qian.
“Mad.
"what!"
Han Jingshan had never suffered such humiliation before. He roared and overturned the table.
“Fuck him.
“We broke through Hong Island and killed Hong Zhiyou’s entire family.
"Brother, give the order."
All his generals were completely furious.
"Hong Zhi has asked you to go to the Peninsula Hotel to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour tonight. The Governor and I will accompany you. Do you want to go?" Xiang Qian said.
"If he says go to the Peninsula Hotel, then go to the Peninsula Hotel.
"Who does he think he is with the surname Hong?
"Brother, this is a Hongmen Banquet, you can't go."
The fourth brother, Ma Zi Zhang, tried his best to stop him.
“You don’t have to go.
"If you don't wait after midnight, he will offer a reward for your head... one hundred thousand US dollars!" Xiang Qian said with a smile.
“One hundred thousand dollars, who are you looking down on?
"My head is not even as good as Old Qiu's?"
Han Jingshan was so angry that he almost laughed.
The other big guys were also itching to hit someone, their fists were clenched and they wanted to hit someone.
"Why.
"Old Han, just be content.
"Our head is still worth a hundred thousand dollars now, and in a few days, it may be worth thousands of dollars.
“No way, his fame is out.
"Kill him, and you'll get cash right away, plus a safe landing, and a trip to Hong Island for a delicious meal.
"do you know?
“I just found out about this when I chatted with him last night.
"The henchmen who follow him receive a basic salary of US$2,000 per month.
"Hong Zhiyou also set up a fund pool. If someone is disabled or dead, there will be a large sum of money. The family members will be arranged to go to the hospital for medical treatment, and the fund will reimburse 70%.
"If you don't want to work anymore when you're fifty, you can still get a pension of three thousand dollars a month from this pool until you die, and they'll pay for your funeral when you die.
"After the whole process, you just have to work hard for him, and the rest of the arrangements will be made clearly for you.
"With this kind of treatment, even a lieutenant general in the army can't compare to it.
"What kind of life are Bai Chongxi and Hu Zongnan living now?
“Damn it, now everyone in Hong Island wants to go to Hong Island.
"Don't talk about them, I want to go too.
"Do you know how the news is spreading outside now?"
Said Xiang Qian.
"How to spread it?" Han Jingshan touched his face depressedly.
"I would rather be a dog in Hongdao than a dragon in Xiangdao." Xiang Qian said.
"Grass!
"What kind of tricks are these? Is this guy crazy?" Han Jingshan was confused.
“No way, they have money and can do whatever they want.
“If there are too many U.S. dollars to spend, then it’s just buying people’s hearts.
“So, it’s not about the money anymore.
“Let’s put it this way, he’s just offering us a dollar reward, it’s just empty talk.
"The fish ball sellers on the street, the robbers, everyone would want to take our money and go to Hong Island to change our fate.
"Lao San, Ma Zi, you, you, you don't want to go?"
Xiang Qian said as he pointed at Lao San and the others.
The third brother and others pouted, and no one dared to say a word.
“Mad.
"How come we ran into such a ghost? Tell me what should we do?" Han Jingshan was a rough man, and his head was buzzing with excitement.
“Old Han, go and talk.
"Times have changed.
"Old-timers like us can't beat the young ones. We are not on the same level."
Xiang Qian pointed his index finger at his temple and said.
"Are you sure he won't attack my brother?" asked Ma Zi Zhang.
“I’ve known Hong Ji-yo for a long time.
“He has reached his current position by always keeping his word.
“Since I told you I was inviting you to enjoy the view, drink tea and chat, I won’t touch you.
“Old Han, our heads are really worthless now.
“Don’t take yourself too seriously.”
Xiang Qian said very bluntly.
"Can I bring someone with me?" Han Jingshan asked.
"Old Han, can we please stop embarrassing ourselves?
"If they really want to set up an ambush at the hotel, will it be helpful if you take people with you?
“Eleven o’clock at night.
“See you at the Peninsula Hotel.”
Xiang Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Han Jingshan called out to him.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Qian asked.
"Doesn't he like to be told his true words?
"Please also give him a message for me.
"Is he mentally ill? Why does he have to pick this point when there are so many other points to discuss the matter?"
Han Jingshan said angrily.
“We can’t figure out what’s going on in the minds of rich people.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely pass it on."
Xiang Qian smiled and said.
……
in the afternoon.
Hong Zhiyou was dragged away by Wu Ruirui to deliver grain again.
"I've picked a good day and plan to get married." After finishing, he hugged Ruirui and said.
"how?
"Marry me, don't worry about your beauties getting jealous."
The strong woman lay in his arms like a kitten.
"Why are you jealous?
"Most of the time, women fight over money, or because they think one gets too much and the other gets too little.
“They have enough money to last them ten lifetimes.
“I am on duty again.
"Why are they jealous?"
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Then why do you want to marry me? My dad doesn't have the ability to scare you now." Ruirui asked with her smooth chin raised.
“You’ve put in so much effort to keep your home in good order.
“My parents and younger sister are also well taken care of.
“There’s no reason for me not to marry you.
"The main thing is to live... well."
Hong Zhiyou smiled wickedly.
"Hate it, tell me the truth." Wu Ruirui pinched him.
"really?
“Actually, when I saw you standing in the crowd at the dock this time, I felt very uncomfortable.
"You've done so many things and you gave birth to a child for me." But because he had no identity, he was always looked down upon by outsiders.
“You are someone who does big things, wants face, and has high aspirations.
"With the identity of Mrs. Hong, it will be easier to manage the business in the future."
Hong Zhiyou said truthfully.
Wu Ruirui's eyes instantly turned red: "It's good that you know.
"My man is so brilliant, but I can only stand in the corner and watch silently. It's really uncomfortable, like an insignificant clown."
“So, you have to be Mrs. Hong.
“You are my Hong Zhiyou’s woman, and the mother of my child.
“I will never allow anyone to look down on you.
"I'm going to give you the most magnificent wedding."
Hong Zhiyou hugged her and said.
Perhaps because he is used to all kinds of things in the world, he has always been kind to others.
I won't care too much about many people's selfishness to a certain extent, or even some acceptable little thoughts.
Ruirui is very competitive and wants to be the head of the family.
It seems tiring and stupid to others.
But this is her worldview, the way she chooses to live.
Just like Lao Xie, he takes glory in making money.
As for myself, I don’t really want to worry about these things, and I don’t care about what happens after I die.
Since she wants to be the head of the family and be the mistress of the house, then let her do it.
The key is that Ruirui knows right from wrong and has the qualities to be the head of the family. She has smart plans for making money, inheriting the inheritance, and raising children.
Hong Zhiyou didn't want to worry about the work, so he didn't interfere.
Let her build the business empire she wants, and you just take the helm occasionally to make sure she doesn't go astray.
"You still have some conscience. I didn't waste all my time making my hair fall out.
“If I didn’t have this identity, I would be really scared.
"Look at the little fairy Wanqiu, she is getting more and more beautiful. She eats well, dresses well, plays well, writes poems, shoots commercials, and looks radiant.
"As for me, I still have to run around the world for you.
"The last time I went to North America to lobby Acheson and his men for you, the ship encountered a big storm on the way back. I almost thought I couldn't come back."
Ruirui kissed him and complained a little.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Hong Zhiyou said with concern.
"It's not easy for you either. You've worked so hard. It's really tactless of me to tell you about this false alarm." Ruirui said.
"All right.
"Boss, please tell me, how much money does our family have?" Hong Zhiyou asked, hugging her tightly with concern.
"Guess?" Wu Ruirui blinked.
"Two hundred million US dollars, it should be there, right?" Hong Zhiyou said.
"Secretary General Hong, you underestimate yourself.
"Not counting the treasures in my father's basement, I estimated the assets, cash, stocks, U.S. bonds, etc., and it's probably about this number..."
Wu Ruirui leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"No way, I have so much money, wouldn't I be richer than the Kong family?" Hong Zhi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
"The Kong family?
"We are just getting started. We now have high-quality resources. Except for the hospitals and schools we built, which made a slight loss, and the large amount of resources we sent to the mainland, the rest are all gains.
“Once all the factories are fully operational, we will earn more.
"In another ten years, I think you will be the richest man in the world."
Wu Ruirui said confidently.
"Row.
“It’s up to you.
"But I suggest that we quietly purchase as much gold as possible around the world," said Hong Zhiyou.
He originally wanted to suggest Ruirui to pay more attention to the oil and electronics sectors.
I think it’s too much money.
Just enough to spend.
What the hell, being the richest man or not, Ruirui has this ambition, but he doesn't.
Forget it, don’t make your wife work herself to death.
"Receive gold? Wouldn't U.S. dollars be fine?" Wu Ruirui was a little puzzled.
“The U.S. dollar will eventually depreciate, but gold can provide a bottom line and can be used at any time.
"If America collapses one day, no matter how much U.S. dollars you have left.
“Everything in the bank is just a string of numbers and a pile of waste paper.
"If someone wants to control you, they can find any excuse to deprive you of your assets. Only gold, antiques, and physical objects in your hands are the most reliable."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Will America collapse?" Wu Ruirui found it a little unbelievable.
"Will do.
“Certainly.
"Sooner or later."
Hong Zhiyou said in a deep voice.
“Okay, I’ll listen to the half-immortal.
"Starting tomorrow I will start setting up a company and recruit people to purchase and exchange gold in various countries." Wu Ruirui agreed.
"Boss, can I make a small request?" She stuck closer.
"Approved." Hong Zhiyou pinched her nose and said lovingly.
"I also want to have at least one child, with a penis." Ruirui said.
"Why?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
“When I think about working hard all my life, only to have all the money go to someone else, I always feel unhappy.
“What if he’s a good pretender and swindled the family fortune.
"A hundred years from now, there won't even be anyone to visit our graves or burn paper for us.
"Look at the wealthy people in Hong Kong, every family has a few men.
"My father called back and urged me to do this every day.
"It's rare that you're at home now, we have to put it on the agenda."
Wu Ruirui said very shrewdly.
"All right.
"Then let's get started and fight."
Hong Zhiyou laughed and rolled into a ball.
……
8pm. Victoria Harbour.
Two large cargo ships docked at the port.
Swish!
As the switch closed.
The lights in the port went out instantly, and it was plunged into darkness.
"Quick, quick, complete the assembly within ten minutes."
Captain Li waved his hand and greeted the soldiers in plain clothes.
The soldiers leaped like fish.
The team of thousands of people quickly assembled.
"Get the gun and the magazine."
Li Hui gave the order.
The soldiers took their guns and bullets from the ground and put them on their shoulders one by one.
"All battalion commanders, step out."
"To!"
Three battalion commanders stepped out.
"Here is the map, which has been distributed to each company. Once you get on the bus, someone will guide you.
"Remember, focus on spot attacks, not large-scale sweeping attacks.
"Kill any enemy with a gun you encounter.
“Those who raise their hands and surrender will not be killed.
"If someone is holding a knife or other weapon, you must not kill them unless their life is threatened. You should warn them and send them away.
“Ten o’clock action.
“The task must be completed before twelve o’clock.
"Now everyone turn right and run into the warehouse to eat.
“Stay disciplined!
“No noise, no fighting!
"Don't lose points for me, just keep running."
Captain Li held up the belt and gave orders.
Under the guidance of Xie Peidong, the soldiers ran into the warehouse.
Inside, Wu Ruirui was directing the chefs and workers to place the plates.
Eight great dishes.
Braised pork.
drumstick.
Lamb chops
……
A complete feast.
Beverages include water, milk, cola, etc.
And there are fruits.
"Captain Li, thank you for your hard work. On behalf of Mr. Hong Zhiyou, I welcome all the soldiers from my hometown who have come from afar."
Wu Ruirui stepped forward and greeted politely.
“You’re welcome, Madam Hong.
“The people of Hong Kong are part of us.
"It is also our responsibility to wipe out the remnants of the national army and maintain their safety."
Captain Li said seriously.
"Comrades, eat your fill. If you are full, you will be able to win the battle," he ordered.
For a moment, the soldiers did not hesitate to take the plates and get the food, then sat on the prepared cushions on the ground and started eating.
Wait until ten o'clock to rest.
After Sun Cheng, Zhou Yan and others who led the way arrived.
Captain Li glanced at his watch and said, "Assemble and get ready to go."
With an order.
The soldiers were like tigers, with gleams in their eyes. They assembled efficiently, jumped into the cars, and disappeared into the night.
Wu Jingzhong took off his hat and limped out of the kitchen. Looking at the neatly arranged plates on the ground without a single grain of rice left, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Why is Mr. Wu sighing?" Xie Peidong asked.
“What is a 100-win master?
“Although I have never fought on the front lines, I understand why the national army was defeated.
"It's not unfair that the chairman lost."
Wu Jingzhong sighed respectfully.
……
Peninsula Hotel.
Hong Zhiyou sat in front of the glass window on the top floor.
The lights of the harbor came on in the distance.
The anti-bandit operation has begun.
"Mr. Hong, it looks like there's going to be another good show tonight?" Xiang Qian asked, shaking his wine glass.
"certainly.
"I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Hong Zhiyou clinked glasses with him.
"Mr. Hong, Han Jingshan is here." Sun Xing walked over.
"Okay, let's start the meal."
Hong Zhiyou instructed the waiter beside him.
"boom!"
Han Jingshan, with a flat head, a sturdy build, an open burgundy shirt showing off his strong chest muscles, got out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth, looking like a hero.
"Master Han."
The reception manager and waiter at the door bowed and greeted them.
"Brother." The two men wanted to follow.
"No, just wait."
Han Jingshan smiled coldly, strode into the elevator and reached the top floor.
"Brother, we finally meet."
As soon as they met, Han Jingshan laughed loudly and opened his arms, wanting to give them a gangster hug.
Hong Zhiyou sipped the wine without even raising his eyebrows, and had no intention of getting up.
Seeing that Han Jingshan was not amused, his face darkened. Xiang Qian, who was standing by, quickly came over and hugged Han Jingshan with a hearty smile:
"Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Everyone is here, take a seat!"
Hong Zhiyou raised his hand and said calmly.
