Chapter 18 Let's go fishing when we have time.
Wusong Street.
"Ah Le, should we call and ask over there? Jimmy really has something urgent to do tonight and can't come."
No matter how much Longgen tried to persuade him, Jimmy didn't want to get involved in the gang's turf war, saying he only wanted to do business.
He was a little worried that if the mission failed, Ah Le would take the blame on him, so he was giving him a heads-up.
Ah Le shook his head. "I won't ask. My godson is leading the team this time. He's very capable and won't make any mistakes."
Longgen asked with a puzzled tone, "When did you take in your godson? What's his name?"
He had indeed never heard of this.
Ah Le explained, "His name is Gao Qiang. You've met Uncle Longgen before. He's the young man who wanted the Crown Prince to wipe out the whole family during the last negotiation."
Longgen said "Oh," and after a moment's recollection, realized that there was such a person.
His impression of Gao Qiang was that he was reckless and desperate to climb the social ladder.
Ring ring ring—
Ah Le's phone rang.
"It might be good news."
Ah Le joked with Long Gen, then answered the phone, "This is Ah Le."
"Godfather, it's all done." Gao Qiang's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ah Le smiled, raised his hand and glanced at Jin Laoli; it was 2:40 a.m.
It only took 40 minutes to get it done?
Ah Le suppressed his surprise, "I know, hold the place, I'll be there in a bit."
He hung up the phone and repeated Gao Qiang's words: "It's done!"
"So fast?"
Long Gen was somewhat surprised, as Hong Tai's influence in Yau Tsim Mong was not weak.
Ah Le nodded in affirmation.
"Your godson is quite capable. Name your price, I'll lend him to you for a while," Longgen said, half-jokingly praising him.
However, he doesn't have many capable fighters at his disposal right now. Originally, Guan Zisen wasn't necessarily much worse than Gao Qiang.
But now, he's just a piece of trash.
Jimmy only wanted to do business and didn't want to get involved in the gang's turf wars.
"Uncle Longgen will definitely agree if he asks, but I'll have to borrow Jimmy for a bit," Ah Le joked.
Longgen waved his hand, "Never mind then, I can't get Jimmy to do anything."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, both knowing that the other was joking.
Longgen said, "Now that Hongtai has taken it down, don't forget to help me take down Chang Le Society."
Ah Le nodded: "The war is about to begin. If you let us know in advance, Jordan will definitely go all out."
With a creak, Aze walked in again, deliberately reporting in front of Longgen:
"Brother Le, Ah Qiang had someone return the stuff from Hongtai's place. I roughly calculated it, and it's still around five million."
Ah Le clapped his hands in delight, startling the two of them with his sudden excitement.
He, however, was engrossed in his own world, praising Gao Qiang as a born gangster.
The first time I went to clean the venue, I knew what was important.
"Are the red envelopes all ready?" Ah Le asked.
Aze nodded.
Ah Le added, "Let's prepare another 300,000... no, 500,000 separately."
After giving his instructions, Ah Le invited, "Uncle Longgen, shall we go take a look?"
Longgen was also curious about Gao Qiang, so he agreed to go with Ale, thinking that he might need this guy someday.
Ah Le wanted to take the opportunity to win people's hearts.
……
Shanghai Street is not far from Wusong Street.
It's only a few hundred meters on foot, and you can get there in ten minutes, but if you drive, you have to take a detour.
It took Ah Le's car about ten minutes to reach Shanghai Street.
As soon as they arrived, the group sensed something was wrong. Why was this stretch of road so smooth?
Generally speaking, after a fight, there will be a brief period of chaos in the newly occupied territory.
Especially in transportation.
Because the original parking attendants have left, and the new ones aren't very familiar with the area, things get a bit chaotic.
This causes cars to pile up on the road, or many car owners to look for their cars and argue with parking attendants.
Aze noticed their confusion, slowed down, and drove north along the southern section of Shanghai Street.
Along the way, you could even see henchmen sweeping the streets with brooms and dustpans.
"Ah Le, your godson is so clean and hygienic."
Longgen spoke with a mocking tone, looking meaningfully at the henchmen outside the window.
Longgen vaguely felt that Ah Le, his godson, was the same kind of person as Ah Le.
They like to do superficial things.
Ah Le didn't respond.
He wasn't too surprised; Gao Qiang had done the same thing a few days ago at the entrance of Dream Paris.
Ah Le even felt that Gao Qiang was too much like himself.
Eat brains.
Knowing that they were newcomers, they had to do some superficial work to win over these big spenders.
However, Ah Le felt that his idea was somewhat naive.
If you're dealing with a big faucet, all you need to do is beat them until they're scared, and they'll bring you the money themselves.
However, Ah Le still appreciates this awareness.
However, the further the car went, the more uneasy the two of them felt.
Why are the people from Wo Shing helping Hung Tai's injured henchman?!
This is like turning your opponent into your own people.
Longgen was shocked; he had never heard of such a thing before.
He turned his head, wanting to ask Ah Le if he had arranged it; this method of winning people over was quite unusual.
Seeing that Ah Le seemed confident, he was certain that Ah Le had arranged it.
Ah Le was inwardly praising Gao Qiang, the brain-eater.
A gangster who doesn't use his brain will remain a gangster for life.
Gao Qiang has the potential to be trained into a skilled fighter, like a white paper fan or a straw sandal.
Entrusting DreamParis to manage this time might have a surprising effect.
……
After driving around the southern section of Shanghai Street, the group finally found Gao Qiang among the people cleaning up.
When Longgen saw that his clothes were similar to Ah Le's, he became even more certain that Ah Le had arranged it on purpose.
And this Gao Qiang is the same kind of hypocrite as A Le.
The group got off at the nearest stop.
Gao Qiang naturally recognized A Le's car, came over, and greeted him.
Ah Le started handing out red envelopes without saying anything, leading onlookers to assume he had some kind of grudge against Gao Qiang.
Gao Qiang knew that A Le's PUA had started, and he had to start playing along again.
He eagerly led Cao Dahua and a few others to help carry the things behind him.
Some of the group would inevitably sneakily open a few of the red envelopes to check, only to find that they all contained 1,000 yuan.
That's quite a lot; a single horse-drying session at Blue Lantern costs around HK$200.
This made Yi Zai and his friends very happy. If there were so many blue lanterns on the platform, wouldn't they, who were armed with knives and had blood on their hands, make tens of thousands of dollars?
However, even the people in Yau Ma Tei made a fortune, but none of the dozen or twenty people in Dream Paris did, and Ah Yi and his companions looked displeased.
After all the red envelopes have been sent out.
Longgen took his men away.
Ah Ze gathered everyone together, and Ah Le stood on the steps, looking around at the crowd.
Gao Qiang thought he would say some platitudes again, trying to incite the blue lanterns to help him guard Shanghai Street.
Unexpectedly, Ah Le put his arm around his shoulder, and the two stood side by side on the steps.
"Brothers, bear witness, I, Ah Le, am officially accepting Gao Qiang as my godson today. From now on, anyone who dares to touch him is targeting me, Ah Le!"
Gao Qiang has secured Shanghai Street for the gang this time, and the gang has entrusted him with the management of Dream Paris. Also…
At this point, Ah Le paused, and Ah Ze handed him a briefcase, patting it in front of everyone:
"There are 500,000 here in total, which is a high reward from the club."
As he spoke, he handed the money to Gao Qiang.
Gao Qiang was stunned. Ah Le was serious.
Since we've paid, we have to put on a good performance...
Gao Qiang and A Le put on a show of filial piety in front of everyone.
The henchmen below the steps were thrilled and shouted in unison:
"Brother Qiang."
The status of Yizi and his companions also rose accordingly.
The other four cast envious glances at them and offered them cigarettes and struck up conversations as a gesture of goodwill.
……
After the play ended, the crowd dispersed.
Ah Le patted Gao Qiang on the shoulder, "Qiang, you must guard Shanghai Street for me."
Gao Qiang nodded in agreement.
He's got Chen Mei and his son locked up; getting them out won't be easy. He's confident he can hold out for seven days.
According to the rules of the gangsters, once you conquer a place, you have to hold it for 7 days before the territory is truly yours.
Ah Le continued, "After you take over Dream Paris, you can recruit some of your own underlings."
Upon hearing this, Gao Qiang assumed that Ah Le was trying to probe him, and quickly waved his hand in refusal, "Godfather, I'm just a new 49, it's not proper for me to recruit followers, is it?"
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay."
He wasn't afraid of Gao Qiang being tall and strong, since Gao Qiang didn't have a stable source of income and supporting younger brothers would be very expensive.
As for Dream Paris, it's the least profitable street and has some management problems.
Ah Le smiled as he looked at Gao Qiang:
"Make the most of this opportunity, do more for the club, and I'll promote you to a university, then it will be legitimate."
"I have high hopes for you. Let's go fishing sometime."
Done.
He patted Gao Qiang on the shoulder, left with a meaningful remark, and then departed.
Yi Zai and the others were overjoyed. With Gao Qiang's enlightenment, they too could rise to prominence.
Gao Qiang appeared pleasantly surprised, but inwardly he was wary of A Le.
He vaguely sensed that Ah Le was trying to fool him, treating him like a henchman for an airplane.
When Ah Lok's henchmen meet their worst fate.
When Ah Le was alive, airplanes were kept out of the light.
He died, and the plane was being chased and hacked at in the middle of the night.
Gao Qiang plans to use his honeymoon period with A Le to build his own power and connections, find a suitable opportunity to rebel against him, and establish himself as king.
He snapped out of his daze and saw Yizi and the others staring at him expectantly, their eyes occasionally glancing at the suitcase in his hand.
Gao Qiang's heart stirred.
Let's start by winning people's hearts and minds and building our own power base through this money-sharing event.
In addition, think more about how to do positive things; that's your biggest trump card.
