Chapter 164: The Hall Meeting Sets the Tone
After all, He Liansheng is a top club. In addition, the entire club has become quite powerful in the past year. Da Fei and Dao Zai Qing couldn't do too much, so they only defeated He Liansheng.
But Hongying was in a miserable situation. Hongying was just a second-rate society. Back then, it relied on its relationship with Hongxing. Many people in the underworld had long regarded Hongying as a branch of Hongxing. This allowed Hongying to gain a foothold in the prosperous Wan Chai.
Now that Hong Ying dared to be ungrateful, the Hongxing side naturally did not show him any mercy. Zhang Shun and Greyhound directly swept Hong Ying through three streets. Mai Yaodong was even seriously injured by Zhang Shun. It was said that he escaped by pretending to be dead.
The next day, the Hongxing side had no time to deal with the funeral of Big Boss B, and was always arguing with He Liansheng and Hong Ying.
On Hongying's side, Jiang Tianying asked the elder of the society, Fu Ye, to come out and negotiate peace. However, he was a bachelor and simply surrendered and was willing to pay money to settle the matter. He only asked for the return of the territory.
He Liansheng's reputation had soared that year that it was naturally impossible for them to yield and demand the return of Hongxing's territory. As for casualties, each side took care of its own business. However, Jimmy had led his men across the line for no apparent reason, and He Liansheng was willing to let Jimmy serve tea and apologize, and even offered to pay Hongxing one million as tea money.
He Liansheng had a good idea, which was to let the younger brother come out and apologize. In this way, He Liansheng's brand was preserved, and they also took the opportunity to step on Hongxing.
Naturally, Hongxing would not agree. In addition, Hongxing has been in trouble recently and is unwilling to go to war with He Liansheng. He Liansheng does not have any troubles, but many people in the lower gangs get goods from Liang Kun. These people make money by relying on Liang Kun, so naturally they are unwilling to make the conflict with Hongxing bigger.
Neither side wants to make things worse, but neither side wants to suffer losses either, so now they can only argue with each other.
Whether it is negotiating with Hong Ying or arguing with He Liansheng, the problem cannot be resolved in a day or two, and now it is at a stalemate.
Lu Yongqiang and his companions did not leave either. They all stayed in Causeway Bay. For a while, Causeway Bay was divided into five parts, with each person responsible for a part of the territory.
On the third day, the uncles from the society finally came forward and asked for an emergency meeting of the gang, gathering everyone to discuss a result in order to calm the current chaos.
On the day of the gang meeting, Liang Kun sat in the first seat, and on his left and right sat Uncle You and Uncle Bazhi, the uncles of the gang.
One of these two people is in charge of the society's punishment hall, and the other is in charge of the society's auditorium. The punishment hall is generally responsible for enforcing family rules, while the auditorium is in charge of the society's roster.
These two people are suitable to attend today's gang meeting. One is responsible for arranging the investigation into the cause of death of Big Boss B, and the other is responsible for selecting the new leader of Causeway Bay.
Liang Kun is not like Jiang Tiansheng, who has Chen Yao as a substitute for him. Liang Kun has to preside over every gang meeting in person.
Seeing that everyone was gathered, Liang Kun knocked on the table and said, "The reason why I called everyone here for a meeting is for three things.
The first thing is that Big B’s body was dumped in the wilderness. We can’t just let this go. We need to find the murderer to avenge Big B. This is also an explanation for our entire Hongxing.
The second thing is that we need to come up with a charter with Liansheng and Hongying. We need to make a decision whether to fight or to make peace. It is not a good idea to keep dragging it on like this.
The third thing is that the Causeway Bay Tong cannot remain leaderless. We need to elect a new leader for Causeway Bay."
As Liang Kun finished speaking, You Bo on his left began to speak: "Mr. Fu from Hongying called me and said that crossing the line was a personal decision made by Mai Yaodong, and the Hongying Society was not aware of it.
Mai Yaodong is now seriously injured and still unconscious in the hospital. Mr. Fu hopes that we, for the sake of our past friendship, will let him go. Of course, the incident has already happened, and we must admit our mistakes. Hongying is willing to compensate our group for 5 million yuan in medical expenses, and then use another 5 million yuan to redeem the three streets we occupied.
We at Hung Hing have always had a good relationship with Hung Ying. Now that Hung Ying has taken the initiative to surrender, we old guys think the conditions are pretty good and we can agree to them.
Ah Kun, you are now the leader of the community, what is your opinion?"
Liang Kun did not answer, but asked: "Brother Ji, you are an old member of the club and you are knowledgeable. Do you think we should agree?"
Kou Shuiji didn't expect Liang Kun to ask for his opinion. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "This territory was conquered by Zhang Shun and Greyhound. Shouldn't we ask them for their opinions? After all, they, the younger brothers, put in so much effort to conquer this territory. We, the older brothers, can't just give it back so easily. We won't be able to explain ourselves to our brothers."
As soon as Kou Shuiji finished speaking, Wuliang said, "You Bo, I know you have a good relationship with Mr. Fu. You have been brothers for decades. But that Mai Yaodong dared to lead others to cross the line, and it is not something that can be dismissed by saying "I didn't know."
It's not impossible to get our territory back, but in addition to the five million for medicine and the five million for ransom, we must also give Mai Yaodong's head, and Jiang Tianying must host a first-class banquet for us Hongxing on behalf of Hongying."
As soon as Wuliang finished speaking, several gang leaders immediately spoke up to agree with him.
Seeing this situation, it was no use for Zhang Shun and Greyhound to express their opinions. More than half of the leaders in the room had already echoed Wuliang's words.
Liang Kun smiled with satisfaction and said, "You Bo, you should have understood the specific situation! Everyone's opinion is my opinion. If Hong Ying wants to take back the territory, he must meet the conditions mentioned by Wuliang, otherwise there is no room for negotiation."
Hong Ying's territory is mainly in the Eastern District. There is not much territory in Causeway Bay, just a few small streets near Paterson Street, half of which is now occupied by Zhang Shun and Greyhound.
Although Hong Ying's territory in Causeway Bay is not large, every inch of land in Causeway Bay is worth a lot of money. Although the territory is a bit small, it is still a piece of fat meat. Naturally, no one wants to give up this piece of fat meat that is already in their mouth.
When Hung Hing invaded Causeway Bay, Hung Ying, as an ally of Hung Hing at the time, did not provide much help, but he gained a lot of benefits by following Hung Hing.
There were many people in the society who were dissatisfied at that time, but the leader was Jiang Tiansheng, and Jiang Quan was not dead yet. Jiang Tiansheng wanted to give face to his cousin, so he allowed Hong Ying to set up a flag in Causeway Bay.
It can be said that Hong Ying's territory in Causeway Bay was shamelessly taken away from Hong Xing by Chiang Quan back then. Now that Hong Xing has occupied the territory, many people think that this is returning the property to its original owner. Not only do they not want to return the three occupied streets, they also want to sweep Hong Ying out of Causeway Bay and occupy the remaining two streets as well.
After Liang Kun finished speaking, Yu Bo's face changed, but he looked at everyone in the room and said nothing more, which was considered as his tacit agreement to the result.
In Hongxing, although the uncles have a high status, they have no real power. Apart from receiving a certain amount of money on time every month, these old guys only have the right to make suggestions on all matters big or small in the society, but they have no right to command.
Seeing that You Bo was silent, Liang Kun smiled and said, "Now that Hong Ying has reached a conclusion, let's discuss what we should do with Lian Sheng. Fatty Li, you'll be the first to speak this time."
Seeing Liang Kun nominating his general, Fatty Lai, though somewhat reluctant, still spoke, "Now that Big B is dead, our first priority is to select a leader for Causeway Bay. Before the situation in Causeway Bay is stabilized, we in Hung Hing shouldn't make too many enemies. What I mean is, let Wo Luen Sheng pay for our medicine and tea, and as for the territory, we can just return it to them."
As Fatty Li finished speaking, Han Bin was no longer happy. He said, "We crossed the line with Liansheng for no reason. If we just pay a small amount of money and that's it, then do we still want to keep the Hongxing brand?
"And Hong Ying, like He Liansheng, both overstepped their bounds. Now we're holding Hong Ying hostage, demanding a ton of conditions, while giving He Liansheng a break and just paying him a fine. If this gets out, how will others view us at Hongxing? They'll probably think we're bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, right?"
Expanding the territory for the community will bring great benefits regardless of whether the territory is in your hands or not.
If they take over the territory that Dao Zai Qing and Da Fei have conquered now, no matter who becomes the boss of Causeway Bay, they will have to pay a bribe, and this bribe is not a small amount.
Assuming that this street earns one million per month, Dao Zai Qing and Da Fei can share 30% of the income. Moreover, they can not only share the money once, but also the annual income, which is 3.6 million.
The street Dao Zai Qing and Da Fei had taken over wasn't just a small side street, but a vast city block, with over forty shops and a large bar. The protection fees alone were worth over a million. Add in the bar's hidden revenue streams, like the supply of drinks, commissions from the hostesses, and parking services, and the total would be somewhere between two and three million.
If the territory didn't need to be returned to He Liansheng, Da Fei and Dao Zai Qing could split around 10 million. With such a large sum of money, Han Bin naturally had to fight for his people.
As soon as Han Bin finished speaking, Ma Wangjian said, "I agree with Han Bin. Whether it's Hong Ying or He Lian Sheng, we should treat them equally. Otherwise, how will people in the underworld view us Hong Xing people?
As for Big B's death, I think our first priority is not to select the leader of Causeway Bay, but to do our best to find the murderer, firstly to avenge Big B, and secondly to deter those who have bad intentions.
We, Hongxing, are the top gang in Hong Kong. Now, someone dares to attack our leader. If we can't find the murderer as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the next person to die will be one of us sitting here. "
Ma Wangjian's words hit the nail on the head. Several people immediately agreed with him. Even Fatty Li hesitated for a moment and then agreed with Ma Wangjian's opinion. After all, if someone dared to attack Big B, he might dare to attack him next time.
Ma Wangjian's words set the basic tone for this conference.
After that, Xiyan concluded, "I heard that Qiangzi, Daoziqing, Dafei, Ah Shun, and Greyhound are now in charge of Causeway Bay. We can all see clearly what the younger generations are thinking. They all have their eyes on the position of the leader of Causeway Bay.
I think we should just do this: the Causeway Bay gang will be under the care of the five of you for the time being. Whoever finds the murderer and helps Big B get revenge will be the leader of the Causeway Bay gang from now on."
