These days, it's not unusual for big gangs to swallow up small ones, but taking over five streets in one night, that's no joke.
Each street has dozens of shops on both sides, and these shops are all able to collect protection money. This is still a conservative estimate. Some of the larger streets have hundreds of shops on both sides, even a few hundred wouldn't be strange.
However, it's the 1970s, and this is Kowloon, it hasn't fully developed yet.
Out of the five streets, the most bustling one only has about a hundred shops on each side. If it were Causeway Bay, a busy street with hundreds of shops wouldn't be unusual.
Protection money alone could bring in a huge profit every month, let alone other things.
Currently, the urban area of Kowloon only has a few dozen streets, big and small, many of which are residential buildings and slums, only about a dozen streets are valuable.
The rest aren't Ye Yaozu's targets, or at least not yet. It's just that Ye Yaozu doesn't have the strength to occupy such a large territory yet.
Mong Kok!
“This bastard, how can he be so strong?” Liang Kun listened to Siu Keung's report with a fiery face. He originally thought Ye Yaozu was just a hot-headed youngster, not much of a threat.
But now it seems that Ye Yaozu has completely established himself in Kowloon. As for seniority, that won't be an issue anymore. Opening up territory for the gang, is that not considered seniority? What else is there?
Do you think it's easy to take over territory?
“Kun Ge, that pretty boy just got lucky. He picked up a tough guy named Lok Tin Hung, who is incredibly strong. Last night it was Lok Tin Hung who led his brothers to sweep through five streets.” Siu Keung tried to comfort Liang Kun.
“Damn it!!” Liang Kun got even angrier, and looked at Siu Keung with displeasure.
Siu Keung scratched his head, what had he done? Why was Kun Ge looking at him like that?
Liang Kun looked at Siu Keung's expression, feeling extremely frustrated. Ye Yaozu has Lok Tin Hung, Big B has Chan Ho Nam, and he has a damn Siu Keung.
How come those two bastards are so lucky?
Liang Kun got angrier the more he thought about it. He turned to the stylishly dressed woman beside him.
“I'm a bit fired up.” Liang Kun curled his finger, the woman immediately understood his intention and squatted down in front of him. As Liang Kun's mobile portable fire extinguisher, she began to exercise her function, extinguishing the fire!
On Jiang Tian Sheng's side.
“This Ah Zu, not bad.” Jiang Tian Sheng smiled and looked at Chan Yao. Ye Yaozu expanding his territory is also a good thing for the Hongxing.
After all, Ye Yaozu is a member of the Hongxing. The larger the territory, the more money he'll hand over in the future, which is naturally a good thing. It will also spread the Hongxing's reputation.
More people in Hong Kong will choose the Hongxing.
“Indeed, he is good. However, it seems that Siu Yan pushed him too hard.” Chan Yao said with a smile.
Hearing Chan Yao's words, Jiang Tian Sheng smiled. He naturally knew what Siu Yan had done. Not only did he take the loan shark money, but he also didn't tell Ye Yaozu about the smuggling route.
Apart from gaining territory in Kowloon and acquiring brothers, Ye Yaozu got nothing. Loan sharks need capital, Ye Yaozu doesn't have the capital now, even if he did, he wouldn't do it.
Jiang Tian Sheng had originally thought Ye Yaozu would come back to ask for his help, but it seems he was wrong.
But this is a good thing. At least it proves that his judgment is good, Ye Yaozu is indeed a capable person.
As for threats?
Right now, Ye Yaozu is far from posing a threat to Jiang Tian Sheng. It's simple, no matter how much he stirs things up in Kowloon these days, he can't get rich.
Unless Ye Yaozu goes into drugs, otherwise, based on Siu Yan's previous operations, at best he'll just be able to make ends meet.
Night falls.
Ye Yaozu arrived at the company.
Lok Tin Hung and Kong Sheng were both there.
“Zu Ge.” Lok Tin Hung and Kong Sheng said to Ye Yaozu.
“Zu Ge, the company you arranged has been established.” Kong Sheng reported to Ye Yaozu. The property management company has been registered.
Ye Yaozu nodded and looked at Lok Tin Hung.
“Zu Ge, I've already recruited personnel. I currently have a thousand brothers under me, not counting the enforcers.” Lok Tin Hung reported to Ye Yaozu.
“Alright, Tin Hung. You first arrange for your brothers to defend our territory. Don't take any action tonight, I have other things to do.” Ye Yaozu said slowly.
“Yes, Zu Ge, Ah Tze is waiting for you at the warehouse by the sea.” Lok Tin Hung said solemnly.
Ye Yaozu nodded.
“Kong Sheng, you drive to the warehouse by the sea. Tin Hung, you'll have to take care of our territory for now. If anyone tries anything, don't be polite.” Ye Yaozu said solemnly.
“Understood, Zu Ge.” Lok Tin Hung nodded.
Then Ye Yaozu followed Kong Sheng and drove directly to the warehouse by the sea.
Ye Yaozu checked his reputation. In one night, his reputation had risen to 4500, a direct increase of 3000. The reputation he could use for drawing lots has also become 3500.
It turns out that becoming famous is the best way to increase reputation. Ye Yaozu couldn't help but think, but this isn't necessarily a good thing. In the underworld, the louder your reputation, the quicker you die.
In the future, when it's time for a reckoning, those with the biggest reputation will be the first to be settled.
But right now, Ye Yaozu has no choice but to do this, to gain reputation. As for what happens later, that's for later.
Ye Yaozu kept his hand on Kong Sheng's black silk while thinking.
A blush appeared on Kong Sheng's face. He was already used to Ye Yaozu's habit.
Soon.
The warehouse by the sea, this used to be an abandoned warehouse, but now it's Ye Yaozu's territory.
Kong Sheng parked the car and followed him, walking directly into the warehouse.
The brothers around him were all enforcers Ye Yaozu had drawn. They are completely loyal, because attacking their own boss is a taboo in the underworld. If it gets out, Ye Yaozu will be in trouble.
“Boss, long time no see, how have you been?” Ye Yaozu looked at the bruised and bound Siu Yan and smiled.
Siu Yan's eyes widened, he looked at Ye Yaozu walking in from outside.
