Chapter 255 End, Return to Hong Kong City
After Jordan lost, the negotiations were almost concluded. The Triple Gang stopped pestering and readily gave up the operating rights of the entire new casino.
The feud with the Triple Gang was settled, and the affairs on the Australian Island were dealt with. Most of the Hongxing troops returned to Hong Kong.
Next is the Hongxing gang meeting, where everyone will discuss how to divide the benefits.
Getting back the operating rights of the new casino was a great bargain for Dafei. After all, Dafei would be in charge of the business on Macau Island for the next six months. If he managed the business well, he would have no problem making tens of millions in half a year.
In addition to getting such a huge benefit for free, Da Fei also suffered heavy losses in the conflict between the Hongxing and Triple Gang. Only Da Fei not only suffered no losses, but also got some benefits from Ding Yao.
In order to bribe Dafei, Ding Yao not only slept with him, but also gave Dafei millions in settling-in fees.
Da Fei is also a talented person. After he followed Ding Yao, he not only went there alone, but also brought more than a hundred trusted brothers with him. Of course, these people followed Da Fei to the Sanlian Gang not without conditions. Ding Yao wanted to give these people a resettlement fee, and most of the money went into Da Fei's pocket.
Everyone suffered heavy losses, except Dafei, who not only did not suffer any losses, but even made a fortune. This made many people dissatisfied, and now that the new casino was handed over to him to run, even more people in the community were dissatisfied.
Like Fat Lao Li, not only was he injured at the beginning, but several of his men also died in the subsequent operations. Later, his printing factory was set on fire. Because the fire was put out in time, the loss of the printing factory was not great, but when all was said and done, Fat Lao Li still lost several million.
Fatty Li was a greedy person by nature, and he suffered a considerable loss this time, so naturally he had to find a way to make up for the loss, so Fatty Li set his sights on the new casino.
Before the gang meeting started, Fatty Li was active everywhere. He first won over Wuliang, then went to find Han Bin. It seemed that he was turned down by Han Bin, so he finally ran to find Lu Yongqiang. Lu Yongqiang also found an excuse to hide and ignored Fatty Li.
According to the news received from Skinny Monkey, Fatty Li was rejected repeatedly and was so angry that he scolded Lu Yongqiang, Dafei, Han Bin and others for not knowing the rules and disrespecting their elders.
After Jiang Tiansheng became the leader again, all the business in Ao Island was taken over by Jiang Tiansheng. Jiang Tiansheng wanted Dafei to be in charge of the business in Ao Island temporarily. Naturally, Han Bin and Lu Yongqiang didn't care about this.
Fat Lao Li is jealous of Da Fei, that is Fat Lao Li's business, not to mention that Fat Lao Li is Jiang Tiansheng's man. Fat Lao Li has a conflict with Da Fei and thus offends Jiang Tiansheng, which is naturally something that Han Bin and Lu Yongqiang like to see, but if they want them to stand up for Fat Lao Li, then Fat Lao Li is thinking too much.
On the fourth day after returning to Hong Kong from Macau Island, Hung Hing held another gang meeting.
When Lu Yongqiang brought Dadong to Zhongyi Hall, eleven of the thirteen leaders had already arrived, so Lu Yongqiang was a little late.
When Lu Yongqiang was first qualified to attend the Tangkou meeting, he would arrive very early every time. However, after going a few times, he was unwilling to go anymore. Unless there was something important, Lu Yongqiang rarely attended the Tangkou meeting.
For example, when it comes to paying the monthly bills, Lu Yongqiang is rarely seen. Even when attending a Tong meeting, Lu Yongqiang usually arrives on time, not foolishly arriving early like before.
It’s not that Lu Yongqiang is arrogant, but he is tired of the hypocrisy in meetings. When twenty people come to a meeting, almost thirty of them have their own ideas.
Every time he attended a meeting, Lu Yongqiang had to be careful with his words and actions, for fear of being plotted against, or being used as a pawn for no apparent reason and offending others.
Every meeting takes up a lot of energy. After attending a few times, Lu Yongqiang naturally doesn't want to go anymore.
There are thirteen main halls of the Hongxing Sect, fifteen branch halls in Hong Kong, and eight branch halls overseas, for a total of thirty-six large and small halls.
When a gang meeting is held, it stands to reason that the boss of each gang should be present, but this is not the case.
First of all, although the eight overseas branches still recognize the Hongxing brand, these eight branches rarely send people to participate in the branch meetings, and half of them will not pay any money to the society.
For example, the branch in Thailand is managed by Jiang Tianyang. Over the years, this branch has long become a faction of its own, and its influence is not necessarily less than that of Hongxing. It is considered good that they did not set up their own faction, so naturally no one will ask them to pay.
There is also a branch church in the Netherlands, which was founded by Jiang Tiansheng. After the branch church was established, it became Jiang Tiansheng's private territory. No one was qualified to interfere, and it was naturally impossible to pay the debt.
There are two branches of Hung Hing in Myanmar. One of them was founded by a confidant of Xiyan. Although it uses the Hung Hing sign, it has nothing to do with the society from its establishment to its development and growth, and naturally it will not pay any money to the society.
The other one was set up by people sent by the society. It is located in Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar. Hongxing has invested in two nightclubs and three bars there. Now a guy named Wumei is in charge of the business there, and he has hundreds of people under him.
The business is basically all invested by the community. This branch has to pay a fee every month, and Wumei will also attend one or two branch meetings every year.
Hongxing also invested in some businesses in Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore, and later established branch halls there. The situation is probably similar to that of Wumei. They will pay on time, but they will occasionally attend the hall meetings.
In addition to the eight overseas branches, most of the fifteen branches in Hong Kong will not participate in the hall meeting. Those who do not come to the hall meeting do not do so because they do not want to come, but because they are not qualified to attend the hall meeting.
These fifteen branches are large and small.
The big ones are like the Sham Shui Po branch of Liang Ma, which occupies almost half of the territory in Sham Shui Po and has one or two thousand people, which is no smaller than the power of some main halls.
The smaller ones are like the branch in Tseung Kwan O, which only has three chess and card rooms and a bathhouse. The area is only half a street, and there are only 20 to 30 people.
If the person in charge there, Baisha, was not a senior member of the society and had the Hung Hing brand to protect him, the flag would have been pulled down long ago.
Allowing him to make a living using the Hung Hing brand is already a sign of magnanimity from the leaders of Hung Hing. Naturally, they will not let him give orders in front of others.
This old guy also knows his own limitations. He pays his dues monthly and doesn't cause trouble. He just makes a living by running a few shabby businesses.
The number of Hung Hing's branches in Hong Kong is not always fifteen, but it fluctuates greatly. You may wake up one night to find that the flag of a branch has been pulled down, or you may find that Hung Hing has an extra branch inexplicably overnight.
Hung Hing does not have very strict regulations on the establishment of branches. As long as you are a member of Hung Hing, no matter whether you are a 49 or a Red Stick, as long as you have the ability to conquer a piece of land and have subordinates, you can become a branch of Hung Hing.
The Hongxing branch halls are almost left alone. Only those who have made a name for themselves in Hong Kong, have a large enough territory and enough subordinates are qualified to catch the eyes of the big guys in the Hongxing, and then be taken seriously and qualified to attend meetings in the Zhongyi Hall.
After all, societies are a place where the strong prey on the weak. If your influence is not strong enough, seniority may be useful, but it is useless at times. Like Da Fei before, he had more than a thousand people under him, but he was just a blue lantern back then, and sometimes he was qualified to enter Zhongyi Hall for meetings.
The leader of Hongxing is considered the decision-maker of Hongxing. Since he has taken to the poker table, it is normal for him to not attend the gang meeting once or twice.
Therefore, every time we hold a meeting, it is difficult to gather everyone together unless there is something important.
There are many factions in the Hongxing District. Every time a meeting is held, everyone pretends to be harmonious, but in fact, they all have their own little thoughts. If you go too early, the social interactions before the meeting will be extremely tiring.
As soon as Lu Yongqiang arrived, Dafei greeted him enthusiastically and even ran over to give him a hug.
Regardless of whether Da Fei was flirting with Jiang Tiansheng or not, he was still Lu Yongqiang's ally until he completely sided with Jiang Tiansheng.
So Lu Yongqiang knew very well that he was being used by Da Fei, and Da Fei was deliberately pretending that they had a good relationship in order to provoke Fatty Li.
But there's no use knowing it. Not to mention that the two are still allies now, even if they are not allies, Lu Yongqiang can't show his displeasure to Dafei in front of so many people. After all, he is the boss, so he still has to give him some face.
Lu Yongqiang gave Dafei a fake smile, then shrugged at Fatty Li who was glaring at him, and walked straight to his seat and sat down.
Lu Yongqiang holds a high position in Hongxing, but he has only been the leader for a short time, and he has never thought about being in the spotlight with his seat, so his seat is a little further back, at the end of the conference table.
Sitting on Lu Yongqiang's right was Dao Zaiqing, and there was no one on his left. Sitting opposite Dao Zaiqing was Dafei, and there was no one behind Dafei. Lu Yongqiang was almost sitting face to face with Dafei.
As soon as Lu Yongqiang sat down, Dafei actually moved a chair and sat on Lu Yongqiang's left.
As Da Fei sat down, Lu Yongqiang whispered, "Da Fei, some things should be done in moderation. Fatty Li already holds a grudge against me, and you're still sitting next to me. Do you want me to completely offend Fatty Li?"
After Lu Yongqiang exposed his secret plan, Da Fei smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Qiang, you are now a powerful army with a strong position in the society, while Fatty Li is on the decline and has only a few useless people under him. Are you still afraid of offending Fatty Li?"
Lu Yongqiang snorted coldly and said, "I'm certainly not afraid of offending Fatty Li, but Fatty Li and I have no grudges against each other. Why should I make an enemy of him for no reason?"
Da Fei said with a smile, "Brother Qiang, how can this be for no reason? We are allies, and now Fatty Li wants to eat from my bowl. Can you just watch me get bullied?"
Seeing Da Fei being so shameless, Lu Yongqiang was so angry that he laughed. He sneered a few times and then said, "Da Fei, since you said we are allies, I hope you can remember what you said today. Otherwise, you are deliberately taking advantage of me. I, Lu Yongqiang, can be petty sometimes. Those who take advantage of me will have to pay the price!"
"Da Fei, are you sure you want to sit next to me? Don't regret it later!"
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dafei was stunned for a moment, and then he actually wanted to move the chair and leave, but as soon as he raised his butt, he saw Lu Yongqiang looking at him with a smile, and a threatening look in his eyes.
