Chapter 565 Enemies, not friends
Chapter 565 Enemies, not friends
"Mr. Yin, are you still recruiting people from He Sheng He?" Da Pu Niu asked dryly when he saw the deserted scene. Ge Zhixiong stared at him and said, "The boss doesn't even join the club, why recruit a bunch of bad guys? Will it ruin the club's reputation?"
Yin Zhaotang nodded slowly, his interest dull: "Let's put the matter of recruiting He Shenghe to join the association aside for now."
Dabu Niu sneered: "Brother Kaixin is really capable. He helped Shenghe climb up the ladder, and even the Hongmen Association was too lazy to pay attention to him. Tiao, he really made it!"
Ge Zhixiong said: "What is the plan for recruiting new members this year?"
Yin Zhaotang launched the second plan very straightforwardly: "In two days, I will go to Haojiang to meet the people from the Water Room. Although the Water Room is not strong enough, its value is enough."
We still have to continue to meet the requirement of recruiting 3,000 people to repay the gods. But we still have to choose the right united front. The remaining gangs in Hong Kong Island are either too small or too rotten, and some of them have stinky signs.
Ge Zhixiong nodded: "Haojiang and Hong Kong are adjacent to each other. The Zhi Gong Hui is developing well in Hong Kong, but it has not yet established a Haojiang branch."
"The initial recruitment of personnel and government affairs construction can be hosted by our Hong Kong Island branch."
Yin Zhaotang stood up and walked to the tea cabinet, picked up the kettle to add water to the teacup, and said slowly: "Well, I will report to the higher-ups."
They both saw his intention to send him away, looked at each other, stood up together, clasped their fists and said, "Mr. Yin, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first?"
"Brother Tang, I'm leaving too. I have things to do at the company."
Yin Zhaotang chuckled and waved his hands, saying, "We are one family, so I won't see you off."
"Goodbye!" Dabu Niu and Ge Zhixiong left the stage, leaving Yin Zhaotang alone in the attic, lost in thought, his expression gradually becoming gloomy: "Well, what a happy guy, an underground D member."
"That's pretty cool."
The identity of an underground member is like a golden shield. Whether it is concealing one's nationality or refusing to join the Zhi Gong Hui, there are legitimate reasons.
Now that Hong Kong Island is destined to return, revealing one's identity to three senior Democratic Party leaders does not constitute a violation of party discipline.
On the contrary, the risky things are Yin Zhaotang, Dapu Niu and others
Fortunately, the identity of a Hong Kong D member often only represents domestic recognition, which is quite similar to the title of "Justice of the Peace" issued by the authorities. In order to do business and make profits, I don't know how many officials and bosses I have revealed it to.
It won’t cause any trouble for Yin Zhaotang.
But if you look into it carefully, you will only be shocked. It is extremely difficult for the Hong Kong Triads to join the D. Who is the introducer and who is supporting it? Is it to attract Wo Shing Wo to invest in the north, or to cultivate Kai Xin to engage in politics and business in Hong Kong Island?
Could it be that the purpose was purely to appease He Shenghe, or simply to check and balance Zhongyitang, so that Lao Zhong would not be able to dominate Hong Kong Island?
What horrified Yin Zhaotang the most was not that Kai Xin had entered D, but that he approached her and accidentally discovered that Kai Xin had already entered D.
Liang Manping, Wu Xiang and others didn't get wind of it.
Where there is an "information gap" is an area that power cannot reach. When we think about who He Shenghe once cooperated with in the mainland, the answer is obvious.
The local bigwigs in Chaozhou and Zhuhai!
No matter whether Kai Xin is being put on the spot or surrendering voluntarily, the next judgment can be made - "he is an enemy, not a friend."
The difficulty lies in that both sides are considered "comrades", and internal struggles must be done in a methodical way. They cannot just go to war because of one unsatisfactory thing. It is more difficult than dealing with foreigners in the past. If you think about the situation of Shenghe in later generations, you can find that although people from "He Shenghe" are often arrested by the police, there are almost no heavy sentences. The vitality of the entire society is very tenacious, and there must be a big man behind it. Slowly, after sorting out the links, Yin Zhaotang's mood also changed from gloomy to sunny. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to find out the clues of Shenghe. The slight mistake in recruiting new members turned into a trivial matter.
After making a phone call to obtain the consent of the headquarters, the Hong Kong Island branch set up a "Hong Kong and Macau Working Group" which was able to develop members in Macau.
When the number of people in Haojiang is about the same, the Haojiang branch will be formally established. The two special zones in the plan are theoretically equal, and it is impossible for one branch to be in charge.
However, the political participation camp has the power to recruit all members from all over the country, but due to its influence, it is difficult to cross borders and regions. The cross-regional movement in Hong Kong Island is not abrupt and is well supported by the mainland.
Then, Yin Zhaotang called Ho Hung Shing and asked the gambling king to come forward. The head of the Haojiang Water Room, Lai Dongsheng, brought his followers, Shijiezi and Niu Yong, to the Lisboa Hotel early. They were waiting in the meeting room on the owner's floor. When they saw Yin Zhaotang and his bodyguards entering the building, they immediately stood up and clasped their fists: "To Lai Dongsheng, the lion head of Anle Haojiang Hall, it is a great honor to meet Mr. Yin. I have heard of you for a long time!"
Shijiezi was wearing a black T-shirt and Niu Yong was wearing a red T-shirt. They stood on both sides of the big boss and clasped their fists.
Both of them were tall and strong. One had calluses on the palms and fingertips, while the other had the lines on his palm smoothed out.
They were the "gun king" and "knife master" under Shuifang Lai, the only difference was that Shijiezi had a round face, a flat nose, a big nose tip, slanted eyes, and looked a bit ugly. Niu Yong had a rustic name, but he had fair skin, regular facial features, and was much more handsome.
Although the Haojiang Water House was not frightened by the comer from across the sea, it had to support its big boss, Stanley Ho, and of course had great respect for Yin Zhaotang.
Even though Lao Zhong and Xiangjiang Shuifang have deep grudges, Lai Dongsheng ignores them all.
Yin Zhaotang also praised him and greeted him politely: "The Lingfeng Group run by Lai Sheng is very famous. I often hear people talk about it in Hong Kong Island."
Lingfeng Group is the company registered by Lai Dongsheng in Haojiang. It injected the society’s funds into the foundation, which then contracted the gambling tables in Lisboa.
It has booked 30 tables and 6 private rooms, with an annual turnover of over 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and is a new force that has emerged in the business community of Haojing.
The lion head refers to the person in charge of the water room, which comes from a line in He Anle’s signature poem: “Lion head with glass body”.
The bottle caps of Anle Soda Factory were shaped like lion heads, which later became a pronoun meaning the boss of the water house. The bosses of Hong Kong water houses rarely call themselves lion heads, but the old tradition is still preserved in Macao.
Lai Dongsheng said cheerfully: "When it comes to doing business, who in the world can compare to Yin Sheng?"
He was modest in words, but he was very pleased in his heart. Little did he know that in order to prevent Lingfeng Group from becoming the master and continuing to grow, Ho Hung Shing had secretly contacted Jie Shiwei, a figure from the Haojiang Number Gang, and planned to train a newcomer to check and balance him.
There is a man called "Broken Tooth Koi" who has been very successful recently and has caught the eye of He Sheng. He is competing with Shui Fong Lai for gambling tables, loan sharking and other businesses.
He Hongsheng sat on the sofa and said straight to the point: "Adong, Yin Sheng is here on behalf of the Zhi Gong Association in China. He wants to recruit people from the water room to join the association. What do you think?"
Lai Dongsheng slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "What a great thing, Mr. He! The brothers in Haojiang have no chance to find a way out. Mr. Yin personally came to invite us. It really gives us enough face."
"On behalf of the entire Heanle Group, thank you Mr. Yin!"
