Chapter 213 Dongxing’s Response
Coke is a tough guy. When he followed Uncle Ben, he made a living by boxing matches and accepting secret payments from gangs. His life was full of swords and guns.
That is to say, the death of Smiling Tiger gave Uncle Ben a chance to turn things around. Only then was Coke able to soar to the sky and become the leader of Bolan Street in Dongxing. He also got the bandit name of Roaring Tiger and became one of the Five Tigers of Dongxing.
Coke is a ruthless man who doesn't talk much. When he was scolded by Crow for no reason, Coke didn't waste any words. He walked up to Crow and punched him directly.
The crow was caught off guard by the sudden punch and took several steps back.
"How dare you hit me?" Crow covered his face and glared at Coke.
Kele sneered, "What nonsense! Don't you fucking dislike me? Let's stretch our muscles and I'll give you a chance to beat me up."
As he spoke, Coke had already got into his boxing stance, which meant he really wanted to practice with Crow.
Crow is quite skilled and could fight with Coke when he was young, but he has been drinking, gambling and whoring over the years and his body is not as good as before. If the two of them fight, Crow will probably suffer.
Although Crow seems to be a brainless and reckless man all the time, he is actually not stupid. If he were really brainless, he would have been killed long ago.
Seeing Coke's look, Crow hesitated. He wanted to admit defeat, but with so many people in the room, he couldn't bring himself to admit defeat.
Just when the crow was about to go ahead, the camel rescued him.
The camel shouted angrily, "Enough!"
"Cola, Crow is a brainless guy, why are you fooling around with him?"
"Crow, if you dare to make trouble again, get out of here."
After stopping the farce between Crow and Coke, Camel said to Uncle Ben beside him: "White-headed old man, it was you who suggested using the instant noodle factory to deliver the goods. Now that there is a problem, what do you say?"
As soon as Camel finished speaking, Uncle Ben, the White-headed Old Man, sneered, "Camel, it was indeed me who suggested using the instant noodle factory's delivery channels to deliver goods for the society, but you didn't object.
Now that something has happened, what? Are you going to let me take the blame alone?
"White-headed old man, I don't mean to hold anyone responsible." Camel said with a wry smile: "I called everyone here to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Just yesterday, the police shut down 42 of our bulk cargo dens in Tuen Mun, Kwai Tsing, Tsuen Wan and Yau Tsim Mong, and arrested more than 600 people who were bulk cargo.
Not to mention the confiscated goods, the bail alone for the people arrested would cost several million.
We at Dongxing can still afford to lose some money, but the foreigners are unhappy. They say we are making too much noise and they can't control it anymore. Either we hand over someone to take the blame, or we at Dongxing will just wait to be targeted by the police.
Everyone, I don't want a repeat of what happened a few years ago. I don't want to be driven out of Hong Kong City in disgrace again, so let's discuss who will take responsibility for this matter."
As soon as Camel finished speaking, the dozen or so people in the room fell silent. Judging from Camel's attitude, it was obvious that he was ready to choose someone from among the people in the room to take the responsibility.
Although going to jail is commonplace for people in the society, and some people spend longer time in jail than outside, even so, no one wants to stay in jail.
In fact, these gang leaders are not living a bad life after entering prison. Big gangs like Dongxing and Hongxing have hundreds of people in them. Once a gang leader goes in, dozens or hundreds of his subordinates will immediately gather around him.
There are people who provide for your food and drink, and help you with your work. Apart from not having much freedom, it is basically not much different from the outside world.
Some wealthy bosses even live in single rooms and eat delicacies from land and sea. The prison guards there will serve you as carefully as if you were a master.
Some people stay in prison for a few months and then get released on medical parole immediately. Of course, they have to change their identity afterwards, or leave the port city and seek refuge elsewhere.
Seeing that no one spoke, Luotuo spoke again, "Lawyer Wang, tell me, how long will I be incarcerated for this matter?"
Lawyer Wang, this man looks to be in his forties, about 1.6 meters tall, a little fat, and wears a pair of black-framed glasses, giving people the feeling of a creepy man.
The man pushed his glasses up on his nose and said, "Although this incident caused a big commotion, the amount confiscated by the police was not much.
I roughly calculated that I would be sentenced to about five years. After entering prison, I can look for opportunities to apply for a sentence reduction, so I should be out in two to three years."
As Lawyer Wang finished speaking, Luotuo said, "Everyone, you all heard it. All it takes is one person to take the initiative to stay in Stanley for two or three years, and this turmoil will be over.
If anyone is willing to take the initiative to step forward and take responsibility, the society will naturally not treat him unfairly. The society will give him the full compensation he deserves, and I will give him an additional 5 million."
Dongxing sells powder, so logically it should be very rich, but the rich ones are only the people at the card table like Camel, White-headed Old Man, and Seventh Uncle, as well as those foreigners who control the situation behind the scenes.
Seventy percent of the profits from selling goods will go to these people, and only thirty percent will fall into the hands of people like Crow who do the actual work. This thirty percent will also be divided among the younger brothers who sell the goods in bulk, and various arrangements will be made. In fact, less than twenty percent will fall into their hands.
You may not even be able to hold on to this less than 20% profit. Once the goods are in your hands, if something goes wrong, whether it's being robbed by someone or confiscated by the police, all these losses will be charged on you.
Therefore, in a society, smart people will not just do the society's business or just help the society. They will generally start their own business and use the society's brand to do their own business.
For example, Golden Tiger Sandhopper used the Dongxing brand to do decoration business, and Situ Haonan used the Dongxing brand to do smuggling and A-goods business.
For them, "selling fans" is just a task assigned to them by the society. They will complete the task, but will not take it too seriously. They will usually leave it to their trusted subordinates to do it, and they will only concentrate on their own business.
Of course, doing business also depends on whether a person has a good brain.
Some people made a fortune in business, like Lu Yongqiang, who became a billionaire in just a few years. Others, like Jinmaohu and Situ Haonan, also had considerable wealth.
But some people lost everything, like the big guy from Tung Sing. After being defeated by Thirteenth Sister on Bo Lan Street, he paid a huge price to get the territory in Tsz Wan Shan.
When they arrived at Tsz Wan Shan, Da Mi and Lan Zai Hua spent more than ten days and spent a lot of money.
He had just established himself in Tsz Wan Shan and had not had time to recoup his investment when the society went to war with Wo Luen Shing. He was caught in the crossfire and not only was his flag ripped down by Wo Luen Shing, but he himself was also seriously injured.
Having lost two pieces of territories in a row, even with the support of his boss, Uncle Seven, Da Mi has been having a miserable time recently. He has no territory and no money. Almost all his subordinates have run away, leaving only a few of his former confidants.
Fortunately, his eldest uncle, Uncle Seven, was quite nice to him and gave him a chess and card room, so that he didn't have difficulty in getting food.
Da Mi is naturally unwilling to live like this, but he has no money and no friends, so it is basically impossible for him to turn things around.
But this incident gave Da Mi an opportunity. After spending a few years in prison, he would have the capital to turn his life around after he came out.
Although Da Mi is having a miserable time now, he is the head of Dongxing and a core figure of Dongxing. His status and position are not low, so it is really appropriate for him to take the blame.
After Luotuo finished speaking, Da Mi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Grandpa, I'm willing to take the blame, but I don't want the compensation from the society. I hope Grandpa can give me a piece of land after I get out of Stanley."
"You want territory?" Luotuo thought for a moment and then said, "No problem. When you get out, the society will support you to establish a presence in Tsz Wan Shan. We'll lend you at least a thousand men. As for how much territory you can conquer, it all depends on your ability."
Hearing Luotuo say this, Da Mi said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa!"
No wonder Da Mi was so happy. The conditions offered by Camel were quite good. Not only did the community support him, but they also lent him a thousand people. If he managed well, he would have no problem conquering more than ten streets in Tsz Wan Shan.
Having territory means having money, and having money means having connections. This directly gives Da Mi a chance to turn things around.
In fact, taking the blame for a society is quite risky. After many people went to jail, their property was divided up by other people, and when they came out, there was no place for them in the society.
The situation will be awkward at that time. Even if you don't care about your previous power and want to quit the society, some people will still be worried. After all, you have taken away other people's property, and you will feel a little uneasy and it is normal to be suspicious.
At that time, they could not quit the society and had no place in the society. Many people were either forced to lose their families or rose up in resistance and were hacked to death.
There is another situation, like the big boss under Boss B. After he went to jail, they said they would find a way to reduce his sentence. However, after he went to jail, not only was his sentence not reduced, but it was increased. He was supposed to be in jail for three to five years, but in the end he was only released after seven or eight years.
But Da Mi doesn't have these concerns. He has Uncle Seven behind him, who is also a powerful figure in Dongxing. With him around, the society will not go back on its word. After he goes in, they will probably find a way to reduce his sentence. After he comes out, the society will also fulfill its promise.
After Da Mi finished speaking, Luotuo spoke again, "We have to teach Liangzai Qiang a lesson. Let's talk about it. What should we do about this?"
After Luotuo finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent again. After a long while, Luotuo said, "Haonan, you are the leader of the Five Tigers. What do you think about this?"
Before Camel could finish his words, Whiteheaded Old Man spoke up, "Camel, Handsome Qiang is no ordinary gangster. He's now taken over the entire Tuen Mun area, with four to five thousand followers under his command. His power is no less than those of second-rate gangs. It wouldn't be wise to provoke him."
As the old man finished speaking, Luotuo said, "Our club suffered a great loss this time because of the handsome guy. If we don't do something, how will others view our club?"
