Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

"Guo Qiang, the territory of Yau Ma Tei is not so easy to occupy. Many big societies are eyeing it! Don't think that everything will be alright once you have conquered the territory. The key is whether you can hold on to it."

"With these two brothers fending off attacks from all directions, you can just focus on developing the club."

Li Guoqiang listened to Zhang Minghui's suggestion and nodded in understanding. Then he said helplessly.

"Brother Hui, our club has grown a lot, but we have fewer ways to make money. It's too difficult to support so many people. Please give me some ideas for making money."

Li Guoqiang knew that Brother Hui had a way of making money. The vegetable smuggling business and pirated tape sales business that Brother Hui had opened up were so popular that he got a share of the dividends every month.

Of course I know how much money Zhang Minghui made.

At present, his gang has just started, and it seems to be strong and has a lot of people. But the expenses are also high! Every month, just to support his thousands of followers, he has to pay a large sum of money.

If the society doesn't find some ways to make money, it will not be able to make ends meet.

Zhang Minghui thought for a moment and then asked.

"Guo Qiang, the development of traditional societies requires some industries of their own. Your current foundation is too weak, and it is impossible to achieve success overnight."

"What industries do other societies have? Can you introduce them to me?"

Li Guoqiang has been in the gang for so long that he knows all the tricks inside out and can speak without any hesitation.

"Brother Hui, other societies have many ways to make money, and the most popular one is the flour business. Many big societies are doing this business, but the risks are also great."

"The police are keeping a close eye on this area, and our community definitely cannot do this."

"The other is opening underground casinos, horse stables, nightclubs, loan sharking and other industries. These are all ways for the societies to make money. Most societies rely on these businesses to support themselves."

After figuring out the society's source of income, Zhang Minghui thought for a while and began to give Li Guoqiang some advice.

"Guoqiang, since most societies are involved in these industries, you should not sit idle. Use the society's money to invest in these industries, and then you can arrange for some of your men to work with you."

"Also, Guoqiang, go find Lawyer Luo and use his connections to see if you can buy some minibus licenses and taxi licenses. If there are hundreds of them."

"It's no problem to support thousands of followers."

Now the bus licenses in Hong Kong Island are controlled by the foreigners, and you can't apply for one without connections. Lawyer Luo has been well-behaved since he was taught a lesson last time.

Many things could be done by him, as he had some connections in the upper class. Of course, Zhang Minghui did not treat him unfairly, and the bonus he would receive after the success was enough for him to earn for half a year.

Only a combination of sticks and sweet treats can maintain a long-term relationship.

Li Guoqiang was stunned when he heard this. He knew the minibus business very well. These were all industries of some big societies. Through the minibus business, they could easily support two or three thousand henchmen.

Li Guoqiang asked doubtfully.

"Brother Hui, can Lawyer Luo help me get a minibus license? I heard that a minibus license now costs nearly 2 Hong Kong dollars, and it's not easy to apply for. The foreigners at the Transport Department won't approve it at all!"

"Hahaha"

Zhang Minghui burst into laughter and patted Li Guoqiang on the shoulder to encourage him.

"Guoqiang, for you, this license may be very difficult to apply for. If no one recommends you, you won't even be able to meet the foreigners."

"But Lawyer Luo is different. He knows a lot of high-ranking foreigners. Through his connections, if we spend a little more money, we will definitely be able to get the license."

"Guoqiang, remember this. Lawyer Luo is a great matchmaker. He can even apply for a gun license. Do you think the license is a problem? Just prepare the money when the time comes."

Li Guoqiang listened to the good news with great joy, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

If the minibus license can be obtained, then the club's problems will be solved at once. My position in the club will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake my position.

When Zhang Minghui saw Li Guoqiang's expression, he couldn't help but say some of his true feelings.

"Guo Qiang, I sent you to Hong Kong Island to join the gang because I wanted us brothers to gain a foothold in Hong Kong Island. We can slowly make money and live a comfortable life."

"I didn't expect that you're enjoying it now. You've already put the club's affairs first. If you continue like this, it will be difficult for you to get out in the future."

"I don't want anything to happen to you. Remember to let my subordinates handle some of the business. Then you can just collect the money with peace of mind. Don't let the police find evidence."

Li Guoqiang's face turned serious and he spoke solemnly.

"Brother Hui, don't worry, I know what to do. The society is a machine that protects us brothers. Hong Kong Island is so chaotic, if there is no society behind it, it will be difficult to do business."

"I won't put myself at risk."

After the two chatted for a while, Li Guoqiang couldn't wait to find Lawyer Luo, wanting to get the license as soon as possible.

.....

three days later.

Li Guoqiang obtained 400 minibus licenses, spending a total of million Hong Kong dollars. As the society's funds were insufficient, he borrowed million Hong Kong dollars from Zhang Minghui.

When Li Guoqiang came to Zhang Minghui to withdraw the money, he cursed the foreigner for being greedy. The license was worth 800 million, but the foreigner only asked for half of it as a kickback, million.

Zhang Minghui smiled and comforted him.

"That's enough, Guoqiang. Just be content! If it weren't for Lawyer Luo's introduction, you wouldn't have had the chance to deal with him. If there's a chance, there'll be a chance. Now that we've got this foreign guy's channel."

"Just make good use of him. Don't be afraid of his greed. The greedier he is, the more he will help us."

"When the time comes, the money will come back continuously."

"By the way, Guoqiang, how is the film and television company I asked you to contact? Is there any decent one? It would be best if the facilities are relatively complete so that you can start filming right after you buy it."

Li Guoqiang took Zhang Minghui's confession very seriously and had arranged for people to check many film and television companies in the past two days. Hearing Zhang Minghui's question, he spoke directly.

"Brother Hui, there are quite a few film and television companies on the market now, but they are all small-scale operations. They make some bad movies and third-level movies and make a living by renting out videotapes."

"There are such film and television companies everywhere, and some are even controlled by social groups."

Then Li Guoqiang said angrily.

"Damn it, these bastards are all very evil. When they heard that we wanted to acquire their company, they all asked for a huge sum of money, claiming that they couldn't afford it unless they paid 10 million Hong Kong dollars."

"The cheapest one costs me 8 million Hong Kong dollars."

Without waiting for Zhang Minghui to speak, Li Guoqiang burst into laughter.

"These bastards dare to play this trick on me. I can't scare them to death."
