History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 23

He Dingxian returned to a tenement building on Nathan Road with the officer Chen Li, and when Chen Li was going to return to the house after a few words, Zhu Youzai ran to him panting with a pack of butter paper: "Brother Xian, Something is brought."

"Okay." He Dingxian took the [-] Hong Kong dollars wrapped in butter paper and handed it to the officer: "Brother Li, I want to be promoted!"

Chen Li stood there with his expression unchanged: "A team leader in military uniform can't beat another! He can only fight fiercely and only be young and Dangerous for the rest of his life. The current situation is different from that of Hei Xinhua!"

He Dingxian smiled: "You can't be used as mud for others. If you want to eat me, you have to knock out one of his teeth. My bones are so hard!"

"Hahaha!" Chen Li laughed loudly, took the butter paper package with his hand, and he knew that it contained Hong Kong dollars as soon as he pinched it. If you take [-] Hong Kong dollars at any time, I will sell you a team leader in military uniform. Since you take it out today, you will definitely sell it to you. I accept it according to the rules, and I will transfer people to you tomorrow."

The team leader of the military uniform is in charge of two to three streets, and all the work of collecting money for private businesses is much better than that of a small military uniform that is only in charge of gambling stalls in one street in Shanghai.

There are more than a dozen people under his command, the key is to be able to act in the name of the leader of the military uniform, and everyone has to sell more face.

A policeman in uniform is just an ordinary policeman after all, and everyone only sells your own face, and if you have a reputation, you will pay more respect.

However, the leader of the uniformed team must be the right-hand man of the district police chief. Walking through the door represents the face of the uniformed police chief, and the leader of the uniformed team is the police chief of the district.

What He Dingxian cares about is not two more streets under his command, but about Chen Li's attitude. Now that Chen Li keeps his promise and sells him the military sergeant, it means that he promises to handle affairs in the name of the military uniform team. .

The premise is that Chen Li can bear it, otherwise Chen Li will also treat him as an abandoned son. The most important thing for a person is to have interests and value. If the opportunity is good, Chen Li will also mobilize the resources of the Chaoshan Gang.

"Thank you, sir!" He Dingxian stood at attention and saluted, and shouted.Chen Li patted him on the shoulder, shook the money in his hand, sighed, turned and walked into the tenement building. Just now, Lard Boy didn't go to Shek Kip Mei, but went home to get the money. Now he gave the money to Chen Li, looking To the side: "Brother Xian, the money has been sent out."

"Promoted."

He Dingxian smiled proudly.

Originally, the promotion was something to be happy about, but Lard Boy couldn't laugh, and said with an embarrassed expression: "But the leader of the military uniform can't beat Inspector Hua! I heard that Zhao Zhiyuan stood up at night, that's Hua The detective’s cousin, how can the uniformed team leader fight? It’s still on someone else’s territory.”

"Actually, Brother Xian, why don't we evacuate the site in Kowloon Tong, and concentrate on developing Sham Shui Po and Yau Ma Tei in the future, and it will be enough to make money." Zhu Youzai's tone was a bit timid. He, a low-level refugee, can get a full bowl of food. It's not easy, how dare you gamble everything to fight with Inspector Hua.

He is no longer a penniless person, he is already the manager of five movie stores.He Dingxian didn't blame Lard Boy when he saw this, because Lard Boy himself is a brain eater, how to manage the business well is his responsibility, and how to fight with others is not his responsibility.

He Dingxian stretched his right arm around Zhu Youzai's shoulder, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and Zhu Youzai took out a match to ignite it for him: "Zi."

"Huh..." He Dingxian spat out a mouthful of white mist, patted the shoulder of Lard Boy's blouse softly and comforted him softly: "The stick on his body is no match for a gun, but business is not only based on bullets, Qiu De even has Zhao Yutang's backing ? If his business goes bankrupt, will Zhao Yutang pay him to save him?"

"Now the Kowloon Tong Inspector Wah and the Tsim Tung Wah Inspector are all engaged in the one-dollar store business. This kind of legitimate business attracts the attention of the police. Ordinary clubs can't get involved at all. The top clubs stare at the pier and look down on the shore. A small business." These days, first-class clubs still need the land of the dock to start construction, and only if they have jobs can they keep their brothers. Dollar stores don't make as much money as the docks, and they don't give members the opportunity to start work. There is no club that wants to touch it.

The jobs that the association later went ashore to do were all labor-intensive industries such as real estate, KTV fishing, pornography, gambling and drugs, all of which were hindered by changes in the social situation.

"Now Qiu Degeng only opens a shop in Kowloon Tong, which means that Tsim Sha Tsui East's business cannot be intervened. Who is the inspector Hua in the two districts doing the same business for?"

The more Zhu Youzi thought about it, the more frightened he became: "Inspector Zonghua Liu Fu?"

"Yes!"

"Whether it's a fight or a secret fight, anyway, Liu Fu is watching from above. We can't fight Zhao Yutang but we can make Zhao Yutang lose. Will a loser have a good end? Let him lose first when the time comes. Beat the dog in the water." He Dingxian said, "Maybe we can win?"

Zhu Youzi swallowed his saliva: "But even if Zhao Yutang is unlucky, it doesn't mean that our hands can be inserted into Kowloon Tong. Liu Fu's office is in Kowloon Tong!"

"That's not necessarily the case. I have understood a word in my previous life. Life is not predestined. Fight first!" He Dingxian and Zhu Youzai talked too clearly, threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on the rickshaw and said, "Go to Shanghai Street to find Chaozhou. Zou, if you can’t do it, use your brain, I’m dead if I don’t have a brain, and I have to learn a lesson if I want to be successful.”

"Understood, Boss He." Ni Kun lifted the car.

Chaozhou Zou was sitting in the smoky gambling stall account room, with one foot on the wooden table and leaning against the master chair, wearing a white coat, fanning the wind with a cattail fan. Put down, stood up and said, "Why did Mr. He come to the humble house?"

"Ah Feng, Chief He's new store opens today, and I enclose a profit for Chief He. I wish Chief He a prosperous business." He waved his younger brother away.

"Understood, boss."

He Dingxian laughed at himself and said: "No need, Lard Boy is taking his brothers to the medical clinic to see if it's too early to wish me a prosperous business."

Zou Gong of Chaozhou complimented: "Mr. He is capable and intelligent. He must have a way to deal with those Dongguan people."

"Don't talk nonsense, what about the batch of projectors I asked you to bring?" After He Dingxian finished speaking, Chaozhou Zou smiled: "All are already in the warehouse."

"It took me a lot of effort to get this batch of goods. New projectors are easy to buy in Nanyang, but old projectors are hard to find."

He Dingxian nodded lightly: "Tomorrow, I'll have someone send you the money, the best batch."

Chaozhou Zou looked a little hesitant, and said hesitantly: "If these projectors are put on the market, it will be another battle between dragons and tigers. Sir, should you think about it again?"

At the beginning, He Dingxian asked Chaozhou Zou to buy a batch of second-hand projectors for the purpose of reducing the cost of opening a movie store. Later, he asked Chaozhou Zou to buy a batch of inferior projectors. Basically, inferior projectors can only be played, but not watched. For the problems of lost paintings and lighting, the Nanyang cinema market is relatively mature, and scrapped projectors can only be bought in garbage.

There is no distinction between "new and old" things that come by water, parallel imports are the price of parallel imports, so the parallel import projectors bought by other dollar store owners are actually second-hand projectors, the price is much cheaper than new ones, but each one costs 500 [-] yuan, a fortune for the smugglers.

Chaozhou Zou owed He Dingxian a favor, so he sold it to him at a "second-hand" price, and received a little hard work fee of 500 yuan per projector.

After that, He Dingxian came to Chaozhou Zou and asked him to go abroad to find a batch of scrapped and inferior goods, and now it was obvious what he was going to do with them.

He Dingxian knew that prosperous people and prosperous businesses are the most likely to be targeted by people who have been engaged in crimes in his previous life. How could he not keep a trick on his competitors?
Under the circumstances of shortage of resources and huge market potential, it is impossible for businessmen to let go of a batch of things sold at low prices.

The answer is imminent, and struggle is inevitable...

He Dingxian glared at Chaozhou Zou with a gloomy face and said, "I have been promoted by Chief Chen Li to be the leader of the uniform team. In the evening, Inspector Zeng and Sergeant Chen personally went for me in Shek Kip Mei. If there is a battle between dragons and tigers, I would like to see Let's see who is the dragon and who is the worm!"

"Give me the goods!"

Seeing that he wanted to kill someone, Chaozhou Zou stopped persuading him. He opened the drawer of the wooden table and took out an old-fashioned iron lock key. He handed the key to him and said, "Tsim Sha Tsui Miao Puye Wharf, pass the key to our Chao Yiyong people." , someone will take you to pick up the goods."

"Let's go!" He Dingxian took the key, turned around and walked out quickly, while Chaozhou Zou Ze grinned: "The police are worse than the young and Dangerous, it's really the way of the world!"
