Hong Kong variety show: Building a century-old family, starting with Hung Hing

Chapter 48 8 District Branches

Now that things have progressed to this point, Liu Yaozu isn't stupid; of course he understands what has happened.

“You are not one of our Hung Hing members, so we will not use Hung Hing’s family rules to deal with you,” Jiang Tiansheng said slowly, looking at Liu Yaozu.

"Thank you, thank you! I swear, I will never dare to do it again." Upon hearing this, Liu Yaozu thought he had escaped a disaster and hurriedly looked at Jiang Tiansheng with gratitude.

But the next second, Jiang Tiansheng abruptly changed his tone and said, "Throw him outside and bury him alive."

This also lets people know what price they'll pay if they try to use Hung Hing.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

The officers from the Enforcement Hall stepped forward, grabbed Liu Yaozu, and led him outside.

"No, you can't kill me! This is an abuse of the law! The police won't let you get away with this..." Liu Yaozu shouted in panic.

At that moment, he desperately wished the police would appear and take him away.

Even being taken to prison and locked up for life is better than being buried alive.

“Mr. Jiang, this is the cash that was seized from the casino.”

After Liu Yaozu was dragged out, Abu took out a box of cash and placed it in front of everyone.

"So much money?"

When the suitcase was opened and the cash inside was seen, everyone was stunned.

They knew that the casino had only been open for a little over a month.

But what they didn't know was that they could make so much money in just one month?

"Mr. Jiang?"

Several people looked at Jiang Tiansheng with envious eyes.

As the saying goes, when people are out in the world, they're either in it for fame or for profit.

Now, they are the leaders of Hung Hing, and they have both fame and status in the underworld.

But regarding money...

The club's profit sharing, after a year, is less than 20 million.

Compared to ordinary people, they have a lot, but compared to many leaders of gangs, they are penniless.

There's no other way; other clubs can sell flour.

Just like Tung Sing, whether it's the Five Tigers, the Ten Heroes, or the Twin Phoenixes, which one of them doesn't have money?

"This money will be put into the association and distributed as dividends to everyone at the end of the year," Jiang Tiansheng said, glancing at Chen Yao.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

Chen Yao nodded in agreement, and then had someone put the money away.

"I know everyone wants to make money."

Jiang Tiansheng looked at everyone and said, "Similarly, I will also help everyone make money."

As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he looked at Han Bin and asked, "Han Bin, have you made arrangements for the smuggling channels?"

"Mr. Jiang, it's all been arranged."

Han Bin nodded.

Jiang's Trading Company has been renamed by Jiang Tiansheng and sold to Han Bin.

Han Bin was involved in smuggling.

Giving the Chiang family trading company to them would be just right.

Jiang Tiansheng nodded slightly, then looked at everyone and said, "I had Han Bin set up a new smuggling channel. This channel is very extensive. If you want, you can choose to invest. You only need to invest money; you don't need to worry about the rest."

"I've calculated it. If I could own 10% of the shares, I could earn around 100 million yuan a year."

The smuggling route that Jiang Tiansheng mentioned was actually buying goods and selling them in mainland China.

During this period, smuggling to the mainland was rampant in both Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and the profits were particularly substantial.

Many people may not know that the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB is 1:1.8926, and the exchange rate will rise by March next year.

At that time, 1 US dollar will be equivalent to 1.9757 RMB, calculated at 2.453 yuan.

The exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar is calculated at 1:7.65.

For example, if you spend HK$1000 to buy a TV and ship it to mainland China, you can sell it for RMB.

Even if we calculate based on 1200 RMB, using next year's exchange rate of 1:2, that would be 600 USD.

$600 is equivalent to HK$4590, and after deducting costs, you make a profit of HK$3590.

This is only calculated based on the lowest tier.

If we calculate based on the high-end option, an extra 300 RMB is equivalent to an extra 150 USD, which is 1147.5 HKD in total.

Therefore, smuggling to the mainland at this moment is definitely a highly profitable business.

Earning a billion yuan a year is an understatement.

It's even quite possible that someone could earn hundreds of millions in a month, with the larger the initial investment, the more they could earn, though the risks are also very high.

"Mr. Jiang, count me in."

"And then there's Mr. Jiang."

Upon hearing Jiang Tiansheng's words, every single person in charge present shouted in agreement.

Didn't you see Mr. Jiang saying that if he takes 10%, that's 100 million a year? What if he takes a little more?

As for whether Mr. Jiang's words are credible?

Please, Mr. Chiang is not only the head of Hung Hing, but also the chairman of Galaxy Group. He's so good at making money, how could he possibly lie to them?

"We can discuss the investment later," Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand and said, "Next, the gang has one more thing to deal with."

"That means the triad is preparing to enter Macau."

“This time, it’s different from before. We, Hung Hing, are going to take over Macau.”

Compared to smuggling, which only lasts a few years, the profits won't be as good once the exchange rate rises.

Conversely, casinos in Macau remain extremely profitable even decades later.

Jiang Tiansheng was no longer satisfied with just running a small casino; he wanted to expand into the casino industry in Macau.

It must have a place among the top ten casinos in Macau.

"Invade Hong Kong?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

When was the last time they heard this sentence?

wrong!

They had never heard of that phrase before.

"Mr. Jiang, isn't infiltrating Macau a bit too radical?" Boss B looked at Jiang Tiansheng, somewhat hesitant.

He wasn't questioning Jiang Tiansheng, but rather wondering if things were moving too fast.

“Radical?”

Jiang Tiansheng chuckled and then said, "As for whether we can take over Haojiang, that depends on the War Hall."

As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he looked at Abu and asked, "Does Zhan Tang have confidence?"

"Have"

Abu said with a serious expression.

The current Zhan Tang is terrifyingly strong, and he is absolutely confident that he can conquer Macau.

"Mr. Jiang, even if we manage to take over Macau, how will we deal with the police superintendents there?" Han Bin asked Jiang Tiansheng with a puzzled look.

The reason why the Macau triads are xenophobic is because they are supported by casino tycoons.

Those casino tycoons have intricate connections with the police superintendents in Macau.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he looked at everyone and said, "I just wanted to let you all know that the gang will not treat you unfairly."

Otherwise, Jiang Tiansheng would also be worried.

Because of the underground casino incident, everyone has become blinded by money, which will be detrimental to the development of the gang.

"Next, anyone who wants to get involved in the smuggling business should register with Han Bin." Jiang Tiansheng directly handed this matter over to Han Bin.

However, the next day, Han Bin was forced to go to Jiang Tiansheng.

"Mr. Jiang, this matter requires your personal intervention; I cannot control them," Han Bin said with a wry smile.

After hearing what Mr. Jiang said about the smuggling business, everyone wanted to get involved.

Every single one of the leaders of Hung Hing has a mind that's not going to do anything.

Everyone wants to make money.

However, since everyone wants to make money, this conflict arises.

There were only so many shares available. He wanted them, and so did everyone else. In the end, they all ended up in Han Bin's hands. What could he do?

"Go and inform all the key figures who want to participate in the smuggling business to come to headquarters for a meeting at 3 PM today." Jiang Tiansheng knew that Han Bin was in a difficult position, so he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

Han Bin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Mr. Jiang would personally intervene.

Despite being in charge himself, he couldn't control the guys below him.

Before you knew it, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. When Jiang Tiansheng appeared in the conference room, everyone had already arrived.

Prince, the leader of Tsim Sha Tsui; Big Brother B, the leader of Causeway Bay; Han Bin, the leader of Kwai Tsing; Sister Thirteen, the leader of Portland Street; Dinosaur, the leader of Tuen Mun; Chan Ho-nam, the leader of North Point; Tai Fei, the leader of Kowloon; Ho Jai, the leader of Kwun Tong; Wai Cheung-keung, the leader of Chai Wan; Tsing Fu, the leader of Yuen Long; Chicken, the leader of Sha Tin; Ah Hu, the leader of Tai Po; and Chan Yiu, the leader of Heung Kong Aberdeen.

The head of the Enforcement Hall is Luo Bingwen, the head of the War Hall is Abu, and the deputy head is You Long.

The only one absent was Brother Kei, the leader of Sai Wan. He is currently injured, but he has sent word through someone that he also wants to participate.

And then there's Leung Kwan, the bigwig in Mong Kok, who's far away in Taiwan. He also sent word through someone that he wants to get involved in business as well.

With fifteen people in charge, plus the Enforcement Hall and the War Hall, there are a total of eighteen people. No wonder Han Bin had no choice.

"Mr. Jiang."

After Jiang Tiansheng took his seat, everyone else sat down as well.

"Han Bin has already told me about the business." Jiang Tiansheng looked around and then said, "Since everyone wants to get involved, let's all work together to make this pie even bigger."

As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he said, "This smuggling business has been divided into 20 shares, with each share worth 1000 million, for a total principal of 2 million."

If you use 200 million yuan as capital for smuggling, the profits will definitely be even greater.

Moreover, they can smuggle not only to the mainland, but also to Southeast Asia, Taiwan, island nations, and even Europe.

As the saying goes, if the cake is big enough, there's no fear of not having enough to go around.

"Mr. Jiang, what should we do if we don't have ten million?" Ah Hu asked anxiously.

Like Ah Hu, Qing Hu, Chen Haonan, Shan Ji, and others who had just become leaders were also somewhat anxious.

They knew that smuggling would definitely make money.

But they don't have any capital left.

Let alone ten million, they couldn't even come up with one million in cash, since the gang hadn't distributed profits yet.

When they received their last share of profits, they hadn't yet become the decision-makers.

“It’s simple. Either you sell your shares to others, or you borrow money from others,” Jiang Tiansheng said, then smiled and added, “If all else fails, you can borrow money from me.”

To put it bluntly, this smuggling operation was Jiang Tiansheng's way of benefiting the gang members.

The purpose is to unite the entire club as one.

Hearing Jiang Tiansheng say this, everyone felt relieved. Even if they couldn't borrow money from others, they still had Mr. Jiang.

"There are 20 shares in total. You each take one share, and I'll take two shares. Does everyone agree?" Jiang Tiansheng said slowly, looking at everyone.

He doesn't care about the money from smuggling. How much more can he make?
