Moreover, these years when “Big Mouth Ying” helped Uncle Tong manage the smuggling business, it was all smooth sailing. Why would he risk getting him involved? People who run in this circle, especially those at Uncle Tong’s age, only want stability.
He’s already an uncle-level figure. Does he still want to become stronger and more powerful, aiming to become the chairman?
Besides, even if he wants to be the chairman, the true big boss of the Wo Shing Wo, Fat Deng, would disagree. There’s no way someone over sixty would want to be the chairman again. Plus, the Wo Shing Wo chairman position only lasts for two years, and there’s no possibility of re-election. To be honest, there’s no point in being chairman. You’ll be on the police’s blacklist, and any slight problem will lead to police showing up. He’s seen this plenty of times in the past two years. This current chairman, Chicken, has been called to the police station for tea countless times because of Big D’s business.
There’s a reason why they say Chicken is the weakest chairman in Wo Shing Wo history. First, because of Fat Deng’s balancing act, no chairman has been the strongest, nor the weakest. A year ago, Chicken’s strength was still decent in the Wo Shing Wo. It wasn’t the strongest, but it wasn’t the weakest either, otherwise he wouldn’t have dared to run for chairman.
But ever since becoming chairman, to be honest, Chicken’s strength has been getting weaker. It hasn’t reached the point of only having two bars like in the movies, but it’s getting close. Now he probably only has a few saunas and brothels left…
He suspects that during the last chairman election, Chicken might have been angry when Big D, who never wears a helmet when fishing, criticized him for not having enough experience. In the year since, Big D, who never wears a helmet when fishing, has been causing chaos. Today he’s fighting the Hong Xing, tomorrow he’s fighting the Number Gang, the day after he’s fighting the Tung Sing. Basically, for the past year, the most powerful in the Wo Shing Wo has been Big D, who never wears a helmet when fishing.
This Big D, who never wears a helmet when fishing, is indeed very fierce. While others are getting poorer the more they fight, he’s getting richer. Last month he completely drove the Number Gang’s “Bone Dragon” out of Tsuen Wan, making it his territory.
Because Big D, who never wears a helmet when fishing, has been so active for the past year, it’s led to Chicken, the Wo Shing Wo chairman, being summoned for tea by the police five days a week. It’s more regular than school classes. The other two days are because the police need a weekend too…
With Chicken being summoned for tea five days a week, when someone comes to cause trouble in his territory, his subordinates see that even the boss isn’t there, so what’s the point of fighting? They all run away.
This has led to Chicken, who wasn’t originally that strong, losing more and more territory. If it weren’t for him being the chairman of the Wo Shing Wo, some face needs to be given, and he needs to be given some territory to support his family, he would probably become the first chairman in Wo Shing Wo history without any territory. He’d be more pitiful than Ah Lo in the movie, who was just a boss of Jordan, but kept shouting about leading the gang to conquer Tsim Sha Tsui before getting promoted.
Don’t underestimate Ah Lo’s small Jordan territory. Jordan is located in Yau Tsim Mong, a prime location in Hong Kong Island, just like Wan Chai. It’s a district with many gangs, and being able to occupy the entire Jordan in such a turbulent area, although not as powerful as Big D who owns all of Tsuen Wan, still makes him a formidable force in the Wo Shing Wo. At least he’s much stronger than Chen Dong’s boss, Uncle Tong. Uncle Tong’s territory is also in Yau Tsim Mong, Mong Kok, but it’s only five streets, with two of them taken by him himself. These are the two streets he’s looking at right now.
Uncle Tong says he gave him these two streets, but it was just a way to take advantage of the situation after he had already taken them…
Uncle Tong is getting old and has lost his youthful energy. He’s said to be planning to get his wife and kids to immigrate. In a couple of years when he’s made enough money, he’ll pass on the position, either to “Big Mouth Ying” or him, then he’ll take his wife and children to live overseas. This is the common practice for most older gangsters. When they were younger, they were lucky enough to survive, and while they didn’t get to be chairman, they could at least become a boss. When they’re older and made enough money, they’d immigrate with their families.
Therefore, Uncle Tong only seeks stability now. Since he’s been using “Big Mouth Ying” for so many years without any issues, he wouldn’t be crazy enough to let him get involved. Two tigers fighting each other is a way to balance things, but it can easily lead to problems.
He’s currently considered Uncle Tong’s right-hand man, but that’s only because he got a newbie package, making him slightly stronger. But when it comes to his own son, it’s “Big Mouth Ying” who’s been with him for over ten years. He doesn’t even have the qualification to get involved in the smuggling business, let alone have any interaction with Sell Fish Biao. Gangsters are all about seniority. Sell Fish Biao is the younger brother of the uncle-level “Moon Chairman” who was killed. He’s the same generation as his boss, Uncle Tong, so Chen Dong needs to call him “Brother Biao.” Normally, Sell Fish Biao’s subordinates would come to his territory to deal with goods, but he doesn’t get involved. Those deals are all settled by Sell Fish Biao and Uncle Tong, the bosses.
“Brat, you’ve never dealt with Sell Fish Biao’s subordinates when they come to your territory to sell goods?”
“Fatal Scissor Kick” + “Benevolent Gun” glanced at his nephew, exasperated.
“Boss, those deals are all settled by Sell Fish Biao and my boss. I don’t have a say. I’ve never touched that stuff. I’m in charge of this territory, but I have a boss above me. Even I can’t stop it. They say the nephew resembles the uncle. You still don’t know what kind of person I am? Although I’m a gangster, I’m a gangster with morals, okay!”
Seeing this fatso’s expression, Chen Dong helplessly spread his hands.
Although he despises gambling and drugs, they’re practically impossible to stop in the current environment. If you don’t do it, someone else will. Lu Xun said: “When the profit reaches 100%, a person will sell even their wife and children.” This is even more true when the profit is over a thousand percent. This is like cutting off someone’s source of income, which is tantamount to killing their parents, right?
Besides, one should never be an outcast in this line of work, otherwise you’ll never know when you’ll get stabbed in the back by your own people. He can only do his best to avoid touching those things that will bring ruin to his family. After all, his subordinates also need to make money.
Who doesn’t want to get rich and rise to the top when they’re in this line of work?
He uses his own money to pay his subordinates’ salaries. Thankfully, he doesn’t have many subordinates, so he can barely manage to support them.
It’s a shame that his system is so garbage. It can’t speak or move, let alone do anything else. Besides the newbie package and attribute panel it gave him when it was first bound, it’s been silent.
There’s no mission reward system, points store, or lottery system, otherwise he wouldn’t be in such a miserable state.
