Hong Kong: When the Wind Rises Again

Chapter 313

Ten p.m.

Yuen Long.

Along the Shenzhen River near Lok Ma Chau.

It was quiet under the night, and from time to time you could see patrol boats passing by on the river.

After the last fire incident on the river, several sentinel points on the shore have stepped up their vigilance, and the frequency of searchlights on the river has increased several times.

On the slope, Wu Zhihui led people all the way up the slope. When they reached the flat slope at the top of the mountain, there were already many people waiting here.

The red cigarette butts flickered in and out of the darkness from time to time. When they saw Wu Zhihui and the others coming up, they stood up one after another and scanned their group up and down.

There must be about ten of these people, and they all come from various smuggling businesses. In the past there was Miao Qingshan, but now it is Wu Zhihui, and they all came over.

"Basically everyone is here, almost all here."

Jimmy stood up, spoke to Wu Zhihui, and introduced him: "This is Brother Hui. From now on, if he wants to talk about this line, if you have anything you want to say, just talk to him."

After hearing this, everyone looked Wu Zhihui up and down and said nothing, waiting for Wu Zhihui to speak.

"it is good."

Wu Zhihui nodded, walked in front of them, and looked around at everyone: "You should all know. I, Wu Zhihui, have set this line. Everyone relies on this line to make a living. From now on, I will make the rules and everyone will follow the rules." work."

Everyone said nothing, waiting for his next words.

Wu Zhihui turned his head and glanced at Liu Yuhu standing behind him, motioning for him to come out and speak.

Liu Yuhu stood up, and someone in the crowd immediately recognized Liu Yuhu. He was a young man: "Brother Hu? Is that you? You have been squatting for so long and you are doing this again after you come out?"

"I'll just eat whatever I want."

Liu Yuhu said casually, he was also a little surprised that someone still knew him after so long, but there was no impression of this person in his memory.

"Hey, Brother Hu, you are already a veteran in this industry. You must be very powerful when you come out to do it. How can you be just a mediocre person?"

The young man was very enthusiastic. He walked up and greeted Liu Yuhu familiarly: "My name is Mr. Zhang. You may not know me, but my father knows you."

"Do you remember Jin Biao Zhang? You took care of him before. You helped my father transport several batches of goods. We relied on your help."

He kept talking: "I was by his side when I was young. You definitely don't remember me, but I remember you."

"what"

When Liu Yuhu heard what he said, he immediately had an impression. At that time, he smuggled watches and cigarettes through the sewers, and helped Gold Watch Zhang sell a batch of goods: "How is Jin Watch Zhang doing now? I didn't expect you to inherit your old age." Dou’s business is over.”

"Eat as much as you want, eat as much as you want."

Old Biao Zhang waved his hand with a smile, and then looked at the people behind him: "Liu Yuhu, everyone knows the Jade Faced Tiger, right? He is the most powerful person in our circle."

"Now that he is here to work with us, everyone listens to what Brother Hu has to say and cooperates with us in whatever way we can, and strive to reopen this line as soon as possible."

Wu Zhihui beat Miao Qingshan this time. No one can run for transportation in a short period of time because the investigation is too strict.

"Jade-faced tiger?"

"I have an impression. I did have some tricks in the early years."

A few people started talking in a low voice. Every circle had something similar to what seniors with such qualifications said. The scene was no longer so cold.

"Haha, since someone remembers me, I, Liu Yuhu, won't be polite. Everyone is in this circle, so I won't say more."

Liu Yuhu looked at the crowd and said: "In the past, everyone paid Miao Qingshan unwillingly, but now we are here to bring you good news first. From now on, everyone will run on this line, and all the expenses will be paid." One price."

"Oh?!"

Liu Yuhu's words immediately caused a small commotion among everyone. Set standards and reduce costs? real or fake?

He shook the list in his hand and said, "For example, this old cousin, Miao Qingshan's one-time fee for you used to be at least [-] to [-] yuan, right? If you run away from now on, the price will be [-] yuan!"

"real?!"

Old Biao Zhang's eyes lit up after listening to Liu Yuhu's words.

After a hard trip, I usually only get tens of thousands of dollars when I am good, but Miao Qingshan paid me at least half of it once, and I suffered a huge loss.

You know, when Miao Qingshan was guarding here, he had to collect a variable middle fee every time he passed by. There was nothing else, just because he had a gun in his hand, and he would take it if he didn't give it.

However, these people are all veterans. Liu Yuhu said that there would be no charge. It was definitely not such a big deal. There must be something more to say. No one expressed their position.

"Hahaha"

Someone in the crowd burst out laughing: "Brother Hu said it well. Since the tolls are cheap, it would be great. In this way, if we have time, we can make a game and set up a few tables for you. You are really a big deal." Good people."

This sentence sounds neither salty nor bland, but I always feel that there is a bit of irony in it.

Wu Zhihui remained silent, his eyes locked on this person. From his tone, it seemed like he didn't want to hand over a penny?

Then he gestured to Aji with his mouth open.

Aji looked at the man squatting on the ground talking behind him and walked away a few steps.

"Ha ha."

Liu Yuhu's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "We will clear the roads on both sides to ensure that everyone can run smoothly. Just follow our rules."

"Tolls have been reduced a lot, but everyone has to pay a deposit in our hands, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, depending on your business."

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately caused a little commotion at the scene. Paying the deposit to Wu Zhihui was no small matter.

The younger brother divided the orders in his hand. Each different person had different charging standards. He looked at the deposit he had to pay, thoughtfully.

Liu Yuhu followed: "We will make rules. There are strict rules on who runs when and which route. I will set a route for everyone to ensure that everyone is safe."

Of course he won't say what the rules are today, or how to run and operate them. These will be finalized after everything is done. The purpose of coming today is to pick out those bad characters.

Wu Zhihui's main purpose is of course not to make money by collecting tolls on this line. He mainly wants to make it more convenient for him to transport vegetables.

Therefore, they must be unified and organized. Only with their money in hand can these people not mess around and obey orders.

Otherwise, in this mixed industry, there are bound to be a lot of troubles. If someone is messed with every day, your line will not be able to escape at all.

To make a person obedient, either the power and interests are bound, or the money is bound, it's as simple as that.

Just like when you work in a company, if it is not bound by money, who would be a social worker all day long? When you get home from get off work, you have to reply "received" on the company WeChat.

"Hahaha"

The middle-aged man who spoke just now laughed again: "I said that it took me a long time to achieve such a great thing. It turns out that your calculations are more shrewd, right?"

"Miao Qingshan didn't dare to collect a deposit before, but when you came here to do it, you still collected the deposit?"    "To put it simply, it's called joining!"

Wu Zhihui's tone was calm and he explained patiently: "We are a group, tied together, safe and sound, and everyone will get rich."

"What if I say I don't want to join?"

The middle-aged man who spoke came out and came to Wu Zhihui: "Why should I join you? I am running this line, and you don't need to manage it."

Wu Zhihui looked at the middle-aged man, and he could see clearly from a close distance that the middle-aged man also had a snake tattooed on his arm, with red eyes that were very ferocious and gleaming fiercely.

This reminded him of the guy with glasses Bing rushing into the street.

"You are."

Wu Zhihui recalled the list: "Snakehead, right?!"

"Yes! Snakehead Gold!"

Snake Tou Jin curled his lips and looked at Wu Zhihui sideways: "I just saw that I, Snake Tou Jin, have to pay a deposit of [-] yuan, right?"

"Correct."

Wu Zhihui nodded in response: "The snakehead business is rich and risky, so the deposit charged is indeed higher."

"Let's not talk about the rules you made. I haven't even mentioned it yet because of your fight with Miao Qingshan, everyone has been unable to start work in the past half month."

Snakehead Jin looked at the people behind him and started to shout: "We haven't asked you to compensate for the loss yet, but now you have asked us to collect the deposit. Where do you have the face?!"

It's no wonder that Snakehead Jin is so resentful, because he just took a look at the data above, and there were as many zeros in the number three, up to three hundred thousand.

Damn it, Snakehead Jin thought he was wrong for a while. He didn't even know how many people he had to deceive to earn this amount of [-] yuan as a deposit. Wu Zhihui really dared to ask for it himself.

"Okay, I'm standing here now, you can ask me for compensation."

Wu Zhihui chuckled and didn't take it seriously: "Do the math. You can't run this line for half a month. How much will you lose? Report the amount. I will have someone prepare it for you and give you the compensation."

In fact, of course Wu Zhihui knew Snake Toujin and had information about him. He had basic information about all the people present.

Snakehead Jin specializes in the snakehead business in this area, and Jingbing Bing, the former boss of Da Mang, had a cooperative relationship with him.

In the past, Wu Zhihui did not work in this industry and did not want to meddle in other people's business. Now that he is in this industry, people like Snake Toujin will look down upon him.

It's fine if they are ordinary smugglers, but they never talk about credit, cheat and kidnap, and try to extort these stowaways to the maximum extent. If they can't defraud, they will sell the women to nightclubs to earn a head fee.

(There used to be a movie about smugglers using smuggling and trafficking, but it was blocked. It was very dark and not far behind the one in northern Myanmar.)

It's not that Wu Zhihui is so noble and doesn't make money even if he has money, but that he is different from Miao Qingshan in that he has to do the business of smuggling vegetables.

If someone like Snakehead Jin is working under his control, it will easily cause trouble. When the time comes, it will be difficult for everyone, and that will be a problem.

Since it was a trouble, it was better to eliminate it now, so he deliberately raised his deposit to [-].

If Snakehead Jin doesn't want to, then he is disobeying Wu Zhihui. Since he is going against me, Wu Zhihui, then I will use you as a model, which can not only eliminate the bad elements, but also scare the monkeys and set an example.

"Brother Hui!"

Snake Toujin listened to Wu Zhihui's harsh tone and then softened his tone: "It's not that I, Snake Toujin, don't treat you well, but that you want too much."

He made a concession: "In this case, I am willing to pay a deposit of [-] yuan and hand it over to you, and everything will be at your command."

Of course, Snake Tou Jin knew Wu Zhihui's strength. The news about their beating Miao Qingshan had long been spread. Snake Tou Jin did not dare to doubt Wu Zhihui's ability, but he was not willing to put so much money in the hands of others.

What if Wu Zhihui took the money and refused to refund it? !

"No, three hundred thousand!"

Wu Zhihui shook his head and said calmly: "I said [-], it's [-]. It's not a vegetable market. You don't have to bargain. Your business is the biggest risk. If something goes wrong, I have to help you handle it, right?!"

"Humph!"

Snakehead Jin saw Wu Zhihui's firm tone and snorted coldly: "Since you refuse to give in, let alone three hundred thousand, I won't pay a penny. If you have the guts, don't let me go!"

He put his palm on the big black star on his waist: "I, Lao Jin, have been able to work in this industry for so long, do you think I can only look at other people's looks to get food?!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became: "Damn it, Wu Zhihui, things between us haven't been settled yet. I lost a line when you dealt with Da Mang and Jing Bing before. I remember that."

When he spoke, his palms rested on the big black star. This was his confidence: "Since you are so powerful, don't say that I don't give you face."

"I have so many brothers in my hands, and they are all trying to make ends meet. If you don't let me take this line, I, Lao Jin, will definitely not do it either."

"Bang!"

He wasn't finished yet.

With the wind blowing in his ears, Ah Ji picked up a big tree trunk and smashed it directly on Snake Toujin's head, flipping him to the ground. Before he could react, he followed up and hit him hard.

A dull crash echoed across the top of the mountain.

As Snakehead Jin fell, the two horse boys who came with him were knocked to the ground. These people were originally the stepping stones for today to eradicate dissidents.

"Deal with it."

Wu Zhihui curled his lips and didn't even look at Snakehead Jin who was rushing to the street: "It's a great honor for everyone that I can come here in person today. I've already said what needs to be said. I'm very busy and don't have time to talk nonsense with you. The rest of the jade noodles Tiger will arrange it.”

He turned around and walked down the mountain, paused and then turned back and said: "Do whatever you want to do, and don't do anything you don't want to do in the future. The opportunity is only today."

Everyone looked at Snakehead Jin and his group who were dragged down by Aji and the others. They looked at me and I looked at you. After hesitating for a few times, they made a decision.

"I am willing."

Old Biao Zhang was the first to stand up: "Brother Hui's family has a big business. It's impossible for him to take our little money. Only a fool can run away if the cost is low."

"I listen to Brother Hui."

Someone followed suit.

Although others expressed hesitation, they did not leave immediately and tried to lobby: "If you can handle it, we will hand it over."

"no problem."

Liu Yuhu promised with all his heart, but Wu Zhihui had already left a step for these people: "If it can be transported normally, everyone will pay again!"

He glanced at Wu Zhihui's leaving figure.

Not to mention, Da Lao Hui looks young, and he is very good at playing the game of advancing and retreating. He first suppresses them with force, puts forward conditions, and then gives them room for maneuver to reach a consensus.
