Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Chapter 142: Several major societies fight

After a night of fierce fighting, He Liansheng suffered heavy losses. The chicken flag in Wan Chai was pulled down, and the territory in Mong Kok was also lost. Naturally, He Liansheng would not give up.

As Hong Kong's top society, He Liansheng was no slouch. Its roster was even thicker than Hongxing's, with over 50,000 members. The reason it appeared less powerful than Hongxing and Dongxing was entirely due to being undermined by a group of uncles led by Uncle Deng.

He Liansheng has only nine major halls on the surface, but in fact there are more than twenty halls of various sizes. There is a very interesting thing about He Liansheng. The nine major halls on the surface are not selected based on strength, but on connections. It depends on whether there are people of the uncle generation who support them. If there are people who support them, no matter how weak the strength is, they can also become one of the nine major halls on the surface.

For example, Chui Ji, his gang in Wan Chai only had a few shabby places and a few hundred people. He relied on Deng Bo's support and then became the leader of He Liansheng. His gang was also one of the nine major gangs of He Liansheng.

A group of uncles headed by Uncle Deng played a balancing act. Every election was not based on strength, but on the wishes of these uncles. This naturally made many gang leaders dissatisfied, but they could not afford to offend these uncles in the society.

Since you can't afford to offend them, you can only stay away from them, hang the He Liansheng sign, pay the membership fees to the club, and usually obey orders but not announcements.

In this battle between Liansheng, Dongxing and Wangbao, only the nine major gangs contributed, while the other gangs, big and small, did not contribute at all.

This time, He Liansheng was cheated by Dongxing and suffered heavy losses. The entire society had to concentrate its strength, otherwise the He Liansheng brand would collapse and no one would suffer in the end.

On the second night after the battle, He Liansheng organized tens of thousands of troops and launched a counterattack in five directions.

They continued to attack Wang Bao's territory from Tsuen Wan, attacked Ben Lei Hu from Wan Chai, fought with Qin Long Hu in Mong Kok, stepped into Tsz Wan Shan to attack Dong Xing Da Mi, and another group of people attacked Wang Bao from Sai Kung.

Dongxing and Wangbao had already prepared for a counterattack against the Liansheng Society. That night, Benleihu abandoned the territory he had just conquered in Wan Chai and marched into Mong Kok. Meanwhile, Dongxing's Jinmaohu led his men directly into Tsuen Wan.

He Liansheng divided his troops into five groups, and the group that went to Wan Chai took back the territory of Wan Chai without losing a single soldier.

The group that went to Tsz Wan Shan also took advantage and directly pulled down the flag of Tung Sing. Da Mi was also a smart man. Seeing that he could not stop He Liansheng's group, he took his people and ran away, handing over the territory of Tsz Wan Shan to others.

He Liansheng gained something in these two areas, but did not gain any advantage in other areas and suffered considerable losses instead.

Firstly, He Liansheng had no idea that Dongxing would give up the territory they had just acquired in Wan Chai. They attacked with two or three thousand men to capture the Dragon Tiger, but unexpectedly, the Thunder Tiger suddenly appeared and they were killed by surprise. In the end, not only did they not get back the lost territory, but they also lost all the territory in Mong Kok.

The remaining two groups of troops attacked Wang Bao and gained a considerable advantage at the beginning. However, after Golden Tiger led his men into Tsuen Wan, Big D was afraid that something might happen to his own nest, so he took his men back to provide support.

Big D led his men back to Tsuen Wan to provide support, but they caused great trouble for the Sai Kung team, who were directly counterattacked by Wang Bao's team. Sai Kung was the territory of the Da Pu Hei, and that night, several of the Da Pu Hei's places were smashed.

After a night of fierce fighting, neither side gained the upper hand and the game was barely a draw.

On the third night, the situation changed. There was no movement in Tsuen Wan, and Liansheng concentrated four to five thousand troops to attack the lost territory in Mong Kok.

The East Star also refused to give in and gathered thousands of troops. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in Mong Kok.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, the Ni family's troops suddenly rushed out. They were not fighting He Liansheng, but helping He Liansheng fight Dongxing.

That night, Dongxing suffered a great loss under the attack of He Liansheng and the Ni family. All the territory they had just conquered in Mong Kok was lost. Qinlonghu and Benleihu had no choice but to lead their men to withdraw from Mong Kok.

The next day, He Liansheng returned the territory in Tsim Sha Tsui that originally belonged to the Ni family to the Ni family and announced a formal alliance between the two families.

Several groups engaged in a series of violent clashes for days, sending panic through several locations. The city and police hotlines were flooded with calls, and the police finally intervened to quell the situation.

This situation is basically the norm in Hong Kong at this time. The police will give the community time to resolve their grievances, and when the situation becomes uncontrollable, the police will be responsible for stepping in to resolve it.

A total of more than ten people, including the leader of Liansheng's gang and his uncles, were taken away by the police. The same was true for Dongxing and Wang Bao, with almost ten people taken away by the police.

After bringing the people to the police station, senior police officers came out to greet the leaders of several gangs and asked them to be safe. Then they asked the gangs to send someone to take the blame and asked the police to give an explanation to the citizens.

The battle ended only after the police intervened.

Overall, all the gangs were losers in this war. Tung Sing lost its territory in Tsz Wan Shan, and Luen Shing had to return its territory in Tsim Sha Tsui to the Ni family. While Wang Bao didn't lose any territory, they suffered significant losses, with seven or eight of their businesses vandalized. Big D wasn't much worse off; when Golden Tiger led his men into Tsuen Wan, his businesses were also vandalized. The sole winner was the Ni family. They merely provided a small portion of their forces to aid Luen Shing, but afterward, they regained their lost territory—a significant profit.

In this battle between the two top societies, the fact that Hongxing, as the top society, failed to get a share of the spoils really surprised many people.

In fact, the main reason why Hongxing did not move was that Liang Kun's prestige was too low, and those leaders were unwilling to listen to him. Liang Kun wanted to get a piece of the pie, but the strength of his gang was not enough. If he rashly intervened, he might be dealt with by others.

Another point is that when Liansheng and Dongxing were fighting each other, in order to prevent Liang Kun from causing trouble, Lin Huaile reached a consensus with Liang Kun and became partners.

Afterwards, the land grabbing business became divided into three parts. Four of the nine New Territories districts—Yuen Long, Tai Po, North, and Sha Tin—were taken over by Wang Bao and Tung Sing. Sai Kung, Tsuen Wan, and the Outlying Islands were handled by Luen Shing, while Kwai Tsing and Tuen Mun were taken over by Han Bin.

Lu Yongqiang just stayed at home and benefits came to him. In order to appease Lu Yongqiang, Han Bin gave Lu Yongqiang 10% of the benefits.

Although the benefit of 10% is not much, it is good that the money is free. Lu Yongqiang is satisfied with it and has no complaints.

…………

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. During this half year, there was little turmoil in the martial arts world, and everyone was developing on their own, but the situation in the martial arts world had changed a lot.

First up was the Ni family. Ever since they began collaborating with Liang Kun, they'd actually been gradually reducing their flour shipments. Ni Yongxiao had even generously introduced Liang Kun to a source of flour from the Golden Triangle. Of course, it wasn't a free introduction; Ni Yongxiao seemed to have asked Liang Kun for a large sum of money. Lu Yongqiang didn't know the exact amount, but it was likely a significant sum.

Because a few months ago, Liang Kun, a drug lord, actually asked Lu Yongqiang to borrow money, and he borrowed 20 million.

Lu Yongqiang thought about it and decided not to lend 20 million, but 10 million instead, without asking Liang Kun for interest. This was a way of giving Liang Kun, the leader, some face.

In addition to borrowing money from Lu Yongqiang, Liang Kun also borrowed money from Brother Ji and Fatty Li. I heard that these two people also raised 10 million for Liang Kun.

After borrowing money from Liang Kun, the Ni family is still selling noodles, but now they only do business within their own territory and no longer supply goods to others.

Now, Liang Kun has replaced the Ni family and firmly established himself as the drug lord. He has numerous collaborators, including Yutou Biao, Huoniu, and Dapuhei from Liansheng. Furthermore, Lian Haolong from Zhongxinyi and Taizi from Hongtai also receive drugs from Liang Kun. Of course, Ji Ge and Fatty Lai from Hongxing also secretly receive drugs.

Ever since the Ni family gave the supply to Liang Kun, Liang Kun has made a lot of money in the past few months.

Because he had been reported before, his transportation channels and warehouses were kept strictly confidential during this period. In addition, he was on guard against Big Boss B, so nothing happened.

The business is growing bigger and bigger, and no one is causing trouble. Liang Kun has been very successful in the past few months and is living a very comfortable life.

He also returned the money he borrowed from Lu Yongqiang in less than a month. Because Lu Yongqiang lent him money, their relationship changed. At least Liang Kun had not plotted against Lu Yongqiang in the past six months. Instead, he invited Lu Yongqiang to drink several times.

After the Ni family gave up the flour business, they set their sights on the taxi and gaming industries.

Ni Yongxiao spent a huge amount of money to buy a taxi license for 500 yuan and set up a taxi company. Many of the Ni family's younger brothers who used to sell powder have now changed their careers and started driving taxis.

In addition, Ni Yongxiao went to Japan, established a relationship with SNK there, and became the agent of SNK Game Company in Hong Kong.

Furthermore, the Ni family has established their own gaming company, developing arcade and video games. Of course, they're currently focusing on imitations, drawing on existing foreign titles and then localizing them, incorporating a number of Chinese elements. The Ni family's gaming company's largest sales channel is currently in the north.

Not only that, Ni Yongxiao has also been doing charity work everywhere recently. In the past three months alone, Ni Yongxiao's various charitable donations have amounted to 20 million.

There are also big changes with Liansheng. Big D likes to eat alone, but Lin Huaile is different. He is very generous.

After Lin Huaile started working with Liang Kun, although he did not touch the fans, he allowed Liang Kun's people to sell goods in his territory, and he just sat back and waited to collect a sum of money every month.

After making money with this method, Lin Huaile generously introduced this way of making money to others. If they wanted to do flour business, Lin Huaile would help them talk to Liang Kun and then buy goods from Liang Kun at a low price. If they didn't want to do this business, he would let Liang Kun's people sell the goods themselves and get a free income every month.

Lin Huaile generously introduced ways to make money to others, and naturally he was supported by many people in the community.

Another point is that Big D only cares about making money for himself and doesn't pay much attention to other people in the club, but Lin Huaile is different. No matter who has problems, he will try his best to step forward and solve them.

Just a few months later, the status of Lin Huaile and Da D in the society has reversed. Lin Huaile is no longer the Lin Huaile who had to rely on the support of his uncles to get to the top, but has truly secured the position of the leader of He Liansheng.
