“What are you thinking about? Why would I want you to switch sides? Right now, I have so many brothers that I can barely afford to feed them, let alone splitting them up. I'm not good at handling this kind of stuff, so it's just a waste to keep it. I just want to work with you. Good brothers make money together. If you really wanted to switch sides, I would actually look down on you. Everyone in Hong Kong knows that I, "Handsome Dong", value loyalty and righteousness...”
Chen Dong rolled his eyes and said in a bad mood.
He found that these smart people were too thoughtful. Even a simple collaboration could be misunderstood like this. Maybe next time he sees his dad, he should call him "Uncle", would this guy think he has ulterior motives towards his cousin?
“ε=(ο｀*)))... You should have said so earlier. You scared the hell out of me. I thought you wanted me to betray you. If it's not about switching sides, then I'm okay with it. I know a few bosses, and I'll talk to them in a couple of days."
Hearing Chen Dong say this, Jimmy also breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone.
"OK, I'll leave it to you. If you need anything, just ask A Bao."
Chen Dong said. Although sometimes movie scenes are not believable, this is a real world after all. However, after getting to know him for these years, Jimmy is a man of sentiment. Otherwise, in the movie, when Master Su was being arrested, he had nothing to do with it, he could have just walked away, he didn't need to risk getting caught to give Master Su a tip.
“Nothing else, I'm going to go now. If you're interested in trying out the new stuff, let me know when it’s ready.”
After finishing their discussion, Jimmy saw that Chen Dong had something else to do, so he didn’t stay any longer and got up to leave and prepare.
After all, this is his first time dealing with smuggling, he still needs to brush up on it. Chen Dong trusts him so much and brings him in on this, so he can't let his brother down.
.........
“Boss, are you sure about this? It's been over a month, and Ba Bi hasn't gotten into trouble, he's even more flamboyant than before. If it doesn't work out, I'll go take care of him tonight.”
After Jimmy left, A Bao couldn't help but say.
This past month, not only had Gao Jin been closely watching Ba Bi, he had also been keeping an eye on him. Every day, he would make a phone call to ask about Gao Jin's situation. Every day, when he heard that Ba Bi was eating well and sleeping soundly, he couldn't eat or sleep, even his favorite horse racing activities didn't appeal to him anymore.
“..... We still have about five months left, I think you’re about to have a hormonal imbalance. You're not the small-time gangster you used to be. Spend some time reading and learning some qi cultivation techniques. When I see Deng Bo, I'll find a chance for you to get promoted. Don't always be ready to fight and kill. Haven't you heard the saying, gangsters without brains will be a nobody for life..."
Chen Dong said in a bad mood, casually throwing a magazine by Fei Lao Li over the table.
Usually, someone with Tony's face, would be able to rise to the top in the movies. Look at Tony, he’s so badass. He’s not sure what kind of movie A Bao’s from, but now he’s far behind Tony, both in terms of fighting skills and abilities.
If it had been before, he would have been a little unsure, thinking that if Chen Ho Nan didn’t kill Ba Bi in two months, he would ask Gao Jin to do it. Gao Jin had been in the army and fought in wars, it would be too easy for him to make Ba Bi die unexpectedly.
However, today when he went to visit Uncle Tung in Chi Lin, according to his little brothers, the female lead on the cover of the magazine was Big B's little sister, and it was not sold anywhere on the market. These few copies were brought out by his relative who worked at Fei Lao Li's factory. The ones that were supposed to be sold, along with the factory, were burned by Chen Ho Nan.
At this moment, he knew it was basically a sure thing. He had watched the six parts of the Young and Dangerous series countless times when he was a kid. Even though so many years have passed, he still remembers some of the plot lines. He remembered that in the fourth part, there was a line about Big B asking Chen Ho Nan to burn Fei Lao Li’s factory because Fei Lao Li had made his little sister the main character of the magazine. As Big B’s right-hand man, Chen Ho Nan would probably be about to get rid of Ba Bi and make his debut.
So, he was not worried at all. It’s best to avoid doing this kind of thing yourself. If he let Gao Jin do it, many people would suspect him. The last time he borrowed money from Ba Bi, it was rumored all over the place. If Ba Bi is killed by Chen Ho Nan, he would be completely out of it.
“Really? When will I get promoted?”
A Bao caught the magazine that was thrown at him. Hearing these words, he had no time to appreciate Big B’s sister on the cover. His eyes lit up.
After all, who doesn't want to get promoted? Now, although he has a few hundred younger brothers, he is still a small-time gangster. Even when speaking, he can't speak loudly. If he gets promoted, it will be different, he will have the chance to compete for the position of the head honcho.
“I told you, it's not a lie. However, it depends on when I see Deng Bo and find a chance.”
Chen Dong said impatiently.
He has already been promoted to become the leader, and now including the younger brothers left to him by Uncle Tung, he has about 2,000 people under him. It is truly unfair that his two top lieutenants, Gao Jin and A Bao, are still small-time gangsters. Gao Jin doesn't mind, he is a person with high ideological awareness, and came here from his hometown for money, no matter what his status is, as long as there is money, it's fine. But A Bao is a true blue gangster, like the original owner, he was completely brainwashed by the gang culture, he has been hanging out with the original owner since he was little, now that he is already promoted to the head honcho, he is still a small-time gangster. It's not a lie to say that he doesn’t have any thoughts or emotions.
And recently, this guy has been very proactive, as a big brother, he can't just leave his brother behind in the ranks.
If Uncle Tung had stopped him from getting promoted, he would still be a small-time gangster now. Even if Uncle Tung was kicked out and “Big Mouth Ying” ran away, the gang would rather bring in a leader from outside than give him the position. In the end, it's still about seniority and status.
He has been following Uncle Tung for three years and was his top lieutenant, his seniority is barely enough, but without being a Red Stick, a White Paper Fan, or a Straw Sandal, he would never be promoted to be the head honcho. These hard and fast rules are still strictly enforced by the gang.
“....... These days, get a few of your smarter brothers to go to Hong Tai's place in Mong Kok, start some trouble, and then you know what to do next?”
Chen Dong thought for a while, then gave A Bao a "you understand" look. He still intends to use the same old trick that he used to take over these two streets. Back then, he took over the two streets from a small gang called “Chang Le”, led by “Ghost King Bo.” He just got a few brothers to cause trouble at his place, and the trouble escalated into a fight to take over the territory.
It has to be said that the tricks used in these movies are old-fashioned, but they are actually very practical. These gangsters love face. If their brothers get beaten up and they don’t fight back, how can they mix in the underworld?
