History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 21
Wu Shijie put away the movie tickets with a cigarette in his mouth, and stared at the movements of the opposite people, the more he watched, the more disgusted he felt.

Wu Shihao came forward with two helpers, and said in a cold voice: "Ajie, what's the trick?"

"Here to grab business."

Wu Shijie replied in a bad tone.

At this time, the people on the opposite side had already set up the shelves of the film studio, and some people carried out the projector and a box of video discs, and the good guests had already surrounded it.

The two movie stores opened together, less than 20 meters apart. The intention to compete for business is obvious, and passers-by can see it.

Wu Shihao frowned and said, "Xin Kai, you should take a rickshaw to report to the boss. Today the boss and Brother Lard are celebrating the opening of the new store on Shanghai Street."

"Understood, Brother Hao." An employee of the movie store nodded and agreed, turned and ran to the intersection outside. Wu Shihao's performance on the pier had already convinced those bad guys, and he had more right to speak among the movie store employees. No one will refuse anything.

Wu Shijie said: "Brother Hao, what should we do?"

"Start working as usual, and I'll go find out later." Wu Shihao lit a cigarette, glanced at his brother, and made a subtle gesture. Wu Shijie immediately understood, and went back to the toolbox of the studio to find a few photos blade.

These days, as long as there is a street business, there will be a few sharp weapons hidden in the stall, without it, it's just for self-protection.

Just because you don't mess with others doesn't mean they won't mess with you. Even if the police and clubs can't afford to mess with you, you can talk about things more simply with a knife in your hands. I can't even eat a bite of rice.

In the turbulent era, there is no stable food. If you want to hold a job, you have to bite your mouth!
The Wu brothers and the bad boys on the pier were very satisfied with the work of the movie store, and they also felt a little grateful to Boss He. They were happy for Boss He to keep the movie store business.

Since the boss tells them about fellowship, they can't let others step on their heads and shit, Chaoshan people are born to be like this.

Qiu Degeng was standing in Qiu's One-Yuan Cinema busy adjusting the projector, five helpers were setting up tables and chairs, Kowloon Tong plainclothes inspector Zhao Zhiyuan was wearing a white shirt with three buttons unbuttoned at the collar, revealing a big gold chain upturned Sitting on a chair with Erlang legs.

Qiu De even saw someone striding towards him in the opposite movie, and he said in a rather disturbed mood: "Mr. Zhao, wouldn't it be a bad idea to blatantly open the store next to others to grab business?"

Zhao Zhiyuan, as the cousin of Zhao Yutang, the inspector of the Kowloon Tong Police Station, has always been arrogant and domineering in Kowloon Tong, so he immediately shook his hands and said, "I'm afraid he's a bird! Today we stepped here to tell Huayaoxian directly, He has no share in the territory of Kowloon Tong, since he refuses to share my boss' account, then get out of Kowloon Tong and return to his Yau Ma Tei obediently."

Now Qiu De is far from being the future chairman of the Far East Group, but just a fledgling newcomer in the business world in Hong Kong. When he saw the Yiyuan Movie Store in Shek Kip Mei making money, he immediately felt that it was a good business, and immediately decided with his wife to save the dishes. 5000 yuan was invested in the business of the one-yuan movie store.

He and his wife fled Hong Kong from the mainland to Kowloon five years ago. They squatted in the restaurant day and night wiping dishes, saving food and money, and never rested all year round. "New immigrants" and "old Hong Kong people" did the same thing but got three kinds of salaries, and immediately made up their mind not to work for others. Later, relying on their experience in running theaters in Shanghai, they found a job to show slides for others. Slightly improved life.

However, Qiu De is not a young boy who knows nothing. Since he was born in a small businessman's family, he has been very knowledgeable about business since he was a child. , only a junior high school dropout.

But that was the first cinema in the Far East!

He later saved a sum of money and rented a theater in Shanghai's "Metropolis Cinema" as a contract to operate it. Unfortunately, due to the heavy losses caused by the war, he fled to Hong Kong Island penniless.

Therefore, he has the guts, foresight, and ability to run a movie store well. In fact, he did start out through the movie theater business, and later became the "King of Cinemas" in the New Territories, known as the "Self-made Shanghai Guy".

At this time, the Shanghu guy nodded and agreed: "I'm sure you'll be fine with Chief Zhao sitting here waiting for the meeting, brother, please sell tickets louder."

"Understood, boss." A helper shouted, Zhao Zhiyuan showed a smug expression, he and his cousin Inspector Zhao were both from Ningbo, and grew up in Ningbo when they were young. He is also from Ningbo. After getting the news, Zhao Yutang, the chief inspector of Hua in Jiulongtang, took the initiative to come to discuss cooperation with Qiu De. Qiu De, who grew up in Shanghai, knows the power of local snakes and knows that an official figure is needed to start a business. support.

Qiu Degeng immediately hit it off with Zhao Yutang, and agreed to give Zhao Yutang half of all the dividends of his movie store, and Zhao Yutang would take over all the business in the entire Kowloon Tong District for him, and also promised that after winning the business in the Kowloon Tong District, the He introduced Liu Fu, the inspector of Zonghua, to know that if he was Liu Fu's student, the entire Dongguan Gang's territory would open a shop with him in the future.

Therefore, within a month, Qiu Degeng opened three movie shops, one in Luo Fu Road, Kowloon Tong, and two in Wong Tai Sin District, which is also under the jurisdiction of the Kowloon Tong Police Station, and the one opened in Shek Kip Mei The fourth shop also formally told He Dingxian that he could not survive in the territory of Kowloon Tong!

When Zhao Zhiyuan saw Wu Shihao coming to the door, he also stood up, unconsciously holding the gun on his waist pocket with his right hand, and staring at him fiercely.

Wu Shihao greeted Qiu Degeng who came up to him: "Boss, someone has done business here."

Qiu De even put on a cheerful smile and took out a cigarette, handed it over, and said politely: "Brother, I just opened the shop next to it, and it didn't obstruct the road. Please save face and make a fortune together."

Wu Shihao coldly raised his hand to push away the cigarette, aimed his eyes at Zhao Zhiyuan behind him, and shouted: "The movie store does not sell flower baskets, there is no reason to open the store together, I see that your ticket price is also one yuan, see You have to be able to grab the business, or you'll sell me some face?"

Zhao Zhiyuan let out a sneer, undisguisedly lifted the corner of his clothes, revealing a black gun handle, and yelled: "You are so old that you deserve my face, get out!"

"Otherwise, a hole will be pierced in your head, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"

Wu Shihao clenched his fists, his eyes were fierce, and he lowered his voice: "Sir, you are the only one with a gun on Hong Kong Island."

Zhao Zhiyuan smiled: "Tell you to stand up with a gun behind your back! You are just a flowery boy, how can he be qualified to carry a gun! Today I am here to maintain social order, let's see who dares to do it!"

Before the words were finished, there were more than a dozen members of clubs picking up guys around, staring at Wu Shihao covetously, all of them were members of Dongying Society, and just by looking at their aura, they were people who had seen blood.

Tanmu in plainclothes is also a well-known Jianghu person. If he needs to find something, he doesn't need to do it himself. If he orders a word, Dongyingshe, who is also part of the Dongguan Gang, will help with the matter.

This third-rate society not only can't match up with the real big boss, but even a Hua Tanmu dare not offend. Zhao Zhiyuan is already invincible standing here, and whoever does it will be arrested and sent to the mission office. Even Wu Shihao couldn't find anything illegal. Even Wu Shihao had to hold back his anger.

But after Wu Shihao turned around without saying a word, he threw a hand at Wu Shijie: "Ajie, do it!"
