"Boss, there is a newly opened restaurant. It looks like it is quite big. Do you want to go there and make some extra money?" Not far from the restaurant, a yellow-haired gangster with a tiger tattoo on his chest reported to his big brother through the loudspeaker.

.

"It's really not that small. It doesn't look like it can't be opened if it doesn't cost hundreds of thousands. It's a place where the rich can live. It's just a small thing to spend tens of thousands of dollars. Let's go and make a fortune, brothers."

Looking at the newly opened restaurant in the distance, with at least fifty or sixty flower baskets lined up at the door, and several air conditioners hanging outside the windows, I knew the decoration inside must be good.

As for business, it seems that people are coming and going quickly, so I know it's not bad. It can be said that I will make a fortune today.

I spent a few thousand dollars to treat my brothers to a nice meal, and I could still save a lot.

"Boss, this street seems to be the territory of Prince Hongxing. Will there be any conflict if we collect protection fees in the past?" a younger brother reminded.

"Fuck, the prince is great and I'm not a vegetarian on the speaker. I'm not collecting protection money. I just want tens of thousands of red envelopes to see if the other party has a good business. The prince can come and kill us."

Xiaoxiao shook his head and tail, but still spat out arrogantly, and said: "I'm not afraid even if the prince comes, he is so powerful that our club is small.

Besides, the loyalty of buddies is unreliable these days, money is the most important thing, if you don’t want to go stay here, if you are willing, come with me to eat and drink hot food.”

"The boss is right, we support you." The younger brothers complimented.

"Brother Hua, I'll leave the collection of money to you. If you do well, I'll give you two portions. If you don't do well, you'll be punished." Looking at a boy who looks a lot like Brother Hua, he calls him Hua Di.

Bullshit, the speaker said.

"Boss, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Hua Di patted his chest, indicating that this little thing was no problem.

"Xiaofang, I haven't been back for so many years. How are the neighbors? Are they still living in the same place?" On the second floor of the restaurant, Lei Weidong was chatting with Zhu Wanfang.

"Some of them are still here, and some are no longer here. Aunt Zhang passed away last year. She had cancer and stayed in the hospital for half a month, but she didn't get better. She went home to wait for death and passed away in her sleep.

His son was moved in by his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, who lived in the original house with their younger son.

Uncle Li is relatively lucky. He made a little fortune by buying stocks a few years ago and moved away long ago. It is said that he moved to Taipingshan. I haven't seen him for a few years and I don't know how he is doing.

The man who lives in his house is an old man named Wu. We all call him Uncle Wu. He is a lonely old man. His wife and children died in the war decades ago.

Grandma Sun is still here, and her body is still very strong. She doesn’t need anyone to help her go up and down the stairs. She is just a little confused. She doesn’t like to shout as much as before. Sister Wang, who lives next door to me, got married five years ago. It is said that she and her husband brought

The children immigrated together..."

Zhu Wanfang chattered about the neighbors, and what Lei Weidong thought was that after so many years, things have changed and many familiar people are gone.

"Xiaofang, what about you, are you still living in the same place?" Lei Weidong asked.

"No, I have a little brother. He is six years old this year. He lives with his parents. I moved to the smallest room on the fourth floor. Although the room is a bit small, I finally have my own room."

In the room, Zhu Wanfang showed off a little.

"Brother Dong, you haven't been back for so many years. We gave the rent to Aunt Zhang, and then to people sent by XX company. Later, Aunt Zhang left, and the rent was collected directly by XX company. Is that your company too?

?" Zhu Wanfang asked.

"That may be true. There is too little money in this area, so I left it to the company to run it. I haven't asked you anything for many years. If you don't tell me, I will almost forget about it." Lei Weidong scratched his head, and the complaints in his words made people want to beat him.

I have bought too many properties in the past few years. Not counting the residential buildings all over the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, there are more than 100 office buildings. I am truly the king of buildings.

If the company does not collect the rent uniformly throughout the operation and relies on Lei Weidong to collect it alone, he will not have to do anything every day, and he will be too busy just collecting rent.

"Who is the boss here, come out, come out, my brother wants to see you." After receiving the signal from the loudspeaker, Hua Di was elected immediately, walked into the restaurant, and shouted arrogantly to the restaurant waiter.

"Brother!" Looking at the vicious Hua Di, the waitress was startled.

"Yes, brother." Hua Di pointed behind him, and led seven or eight gangsters to find two tables to sit down, while driving away the surrounding customers.

"This bastard is so arrogant that he doesn't even care about whose territory this is." Ma Jun and Li Ying were sitting in the corner chatting. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but stand up and wanted to go over and teach Xiaoxian a lesson, but were stopped by Li Ying.

.

"Wait a minute and see what A Tou means. This is A Tou's territory. Charging protection fees is a slap in A Tou's face. They will suffer from it soon."

"Let them be arrogant for a while." Ma Jun shrugged upon hearing this, sat back down, and said:

"I heard that when the restaurant opened, Bai Kailun and Yao Zi had already informed the major associations and said that the restaurant is A Tou's property, so why are there still people here to collect protection fees?"

"There are so many clubs, how could they all be notified? It's obvious at a glance that these guys are low-level gangsters. They're not that well-informed and they came here to lift the iron plate.

I don’t know which club he belongs to, and he caused trouble for their boss.” Seeing the arrogance of Xiao Xiao and others, Li Ying shook his head, “With Ah Tou’s dirty tricks, if we want to fight, they will also beat their boss.”

"Li Ying, if you dare to accuse me of being evil, be careful of me suing you."

"Just file a lawsuit. You thought you could escape. A few days ago, you said that A Tou was full of evil. Otherwise, why would you have approved Zhou Xingxing's plan and tricked Wang Bao."

"Okay, Li Ying, brother Li, stop talking, I'm convinced, let's just watch the show."

"Okay, let's watch the show."

The Xiangjiang Society has a tradition of collecting protection fees from each store. In order to avoid trouble, many big bosses spend money to buy peace of mind as long as they have a store on the street. Li Chaoren is no exception.

Of course not everyone pays it.

The uncrowned king of Hong Kong, HSBC, no one dares to collect protection fees, not to mention its headquarters building, or its branches scattered in the streets and alleys. As long as the names of HSBC and Standard Chartered are on it, no one dares to get into trouble.

The same goes for Lei Weidong. Although he has no Chinese representatives, Huo Daheng, who has the title of Tsar, is very powerful.

But he is a policeman and a district commander, a boss second only to division-level cadres.

If the store under his name asks for protection money from the association, not only will Lei Weidong be embarrassed, but the police force will also be disgraced. A reminder to Bai Kailun.

The bosses of Hongxing, Dongxing and other societies paid great attention to it and spoke to their subordinates one after another.

Not only Yau Tsim District, Wan Chai, and Central District, places where Lei Wai Tung was influential, but also East Kowloon and the New Territories, places where Lei Wai Tung's influence did not spread.

Mr. Jiang, Luo Tuo and others also waived Lei Weidong's protection fees.

Of course, everyone also has a theater mentality. There are so many clubs in Xiangjiang, and so many Lei Weidong restaurants have been opened at once. Who knows which club is unlucky?

"Little sister, go and call your boss. If you stand still, are you interested in me? Do you want me to take you to see the goldfish?" Looking at the waiter standing still, the speaker arrogantly called to him.

Whistling.

Compared with the handsome Hua Di, the menacing speaker was not enough. The service station was so frightened that he quickly ran to the kitchen.

"Boss, someone is here to collect protection money." After receiving the news from the waiter, the manager quickly ran to the second floor to report the situation to Lei Weidong.

"There are really people who are not afraid of death!" Lei Weidong shook his head, "Do you know who he is?"

"I don't know, I just know that he is a gangster on the street. I don't know about the club." The manager also knew a little about Lei Weidong's identity. He was the boss of Yau Tsim District and the number one nemesis of the gangsters, so when he reported it, he

There is no sense of multi-person urgency.

"Fang Zheng!" Lei Weidong waved his hand, and Fang Zheng and Guo Haihua, who were sitting not far away and chatting, immediately ran over.

"Director, what's the matter?" Fang Zheng asked respectfully.

"Someone is charging protection money. You and Haihua go and deal with it." Lei Weidong ordered.

"Understood!" When they heard that someone was coming to collect the favor fee, Fang Zheng and Guo Haihua immediately froze and followed the manager downstairs.

Lei Weidong is the commander of Yau Tsim District. When a restaurant under his name opened, Ma Jun and Li Ying could not be the only colleagues who came to congratulate him. Subordinates such as Zhu Huabiao, Chen Guozhong, Fang Zheng, and Song Zijie came to congratulate him with flower baskets.

Everyone also discussed that the director's restaurant would be the base for everyone's activities outside. Whenever we need to eat outside for lunch or dinner, we will come here.

Lei Weidong reciprocated the enthusiasm of his subordinates. Not only did he let Jian Huizhen take the coupons for large crowds and distribute them in the police system, but when recruiting people in the restaurant, he gave priority to the families of police officers and relatives and friends of those who died in the line of duty, and solved the problem

their worries.

This resulted in a lot of police officers eating in the restaurant. There were at least 20 people upstairs and downstairs. Who would be so careless as to bump into them?

Now when they heard that someone was making trouble in the restaurant, not only Fang Zheng, but also Guo Haihua, Song Zijie and others also became playful, stood up and followed them to cheer.

"Boy, you are doing well. You have become the boss at such a young age." Seeing Fang Zheng walking over surrounded by a group of people, Hua Di asked arrogantly knowing that he was either the boss or the manager.

"What are you going to do? We welcome you to have a meal. If you want to find trouble, just go out. We are going out today. We can discuss anything else another day."

Fang Zheng knew that when the director asked him to come forward, he would not just beat up the gangster in front of him. He wanted to play a big game and make a warning to the club.

"What are you doing? Boy, you are blind. I am dressed like this and you don't know what to do." Hua Di pointed his finger on Fang Zheng's chest and said arrogantly,

"Brothers, I need money to spend. It just so happens that your place is newly opened, so I want to ask for some money from above."

"It's okay to ask for some money laundering." Fang Zheng nodded and said, "The store has opened a new one today, and there are many people. A few big brothers came to visit, so I'm sorry that I can't entertain them properly.

In this way, the big brothers will be free of charge for today's consumption, and I will also give you a red envelope of 500 yuan."

"A few hundred yuan, send the beggar away." When a group of people came up, Hua Di was shocked, thinking that he was talking about the iron plate, but he didn't expect that the other party was so easy to talk to, so he just spent money to solve the problem.

Then the spirit of Hua Di came.

The boss is right, the richer people are, the more they are afraid of death, because they are all precious porcelain and are not worthy of colliding with gangsters with rotten tiles.

That's what little gangsters are like. If you want to be tough, he will be soft. If you want to be soft, he will bully you to death, and he will immediately become prestigious.

"It's too little, how much do you want?" Fang Zheng asked after making a gesture to signal the brothers not to act rashly.

"Opening such a big store costs hundreds of thousands at least. We are not greedy. Just give our eldest brother a red envelope of 20,000 yuan, otherwise we will destroy your store." Hua Di shook his hair.

, said with a strange smile.

"Who is your eldest brother?" Fang Zheng asked, pointing to the speaker sitting not far away and arrogantly looking at it.

"Yes, my eldest brother is a well-known trumpet guy in Tsim Sha Tsui. He covers these streets. If you are wise, you can give me a big red envelope. Otherwise, your restaurant will not be open for a month despite the booming business.
