Hong Kong Island Old Events

When the rickshaw arrived at the entrance of Shek Kip Mei One Dollar Cinema, young people who came to watch the movie were already gathered in small groups around the cinema. Some people simply ate a bowl of rickshaw noodles or wontons at a nearby stall while waiting. The earliest one opens at six o'clock.

Lardboy had a cigarette pinned to his ear. When he saw the figure getting off the rickshaw, he quickly ran out to greet him: "Brother Xian, you're here!"

"I promised to distribute food to the brothers." He Dingxian said with a smile: "So I came to take a look."

"It should, it should." Lardboy nodded and bowed, saying yes again and again, and in just a few words he led the boss into the movie store.

Ni Kun wiped his sweat with a sweat towel at the door. Feeling the glance, he nodded to Lardboy with a flattering expression. Lardboy also showed a look of surprise in his eyes and nodded lightly. He Dingxian came to the four In front of the workers who were working: "Do you brothers speak Chaoshan dialect?"

A young man who was arranging the seats raised his head and spoke in standard Chaoshan dialect: "We are all our own people."

"It's you, brother!" He Dingxian looked at the young man's appearance and shouted in surprise. The young man in white shirt was also stunned for a moment, and said nonchalantly: "Why are you here?"

This man was none other than Wu Shihao, who chopped down Guilidong on the dock a month ago.

Lardboy stood up with a proud look on his face, clapped his hands, and shouted loudly: "Guys, put down what you are doing first, and I will introduce you to you."

"This is Mr. He. He is the chief of the Yau Ma Tei Police Station and the owner of our One Yuan Movie Store. He came here after work today to distribute food to everyone. Even the ghost inspectors who invited him to dinner were turned away. Right, Boss He?”

At this time, Wu Shijie, Xin Kai, and Jiang Yanhong had already arrived.

He Dingxian glanced around and found that the four of them looked very familiar. They were all one of the criminals who appeared at the dock. The four of them looked at him in surprise and looked at each other in shock.

This must be Lardboy's fault, but it's really Lardboy's ability to recruit all those people to work in the movie store!

He Dingxian came back to his senses and nodded with a smile: "Yes, today...the sky is huge and the food is given to the guys the most. Even the ghost guy's words are useless."

"Here, get the money." He took out a small stack of Hong Kong dollars from his pocket, and Lardboy was responsible for the introduction. He stood in front and pointed at the first person and said: "Boss, this is Wu Shihao."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." He Dingxian stretched out his hand to shake, but Wu Shihao stared at the money in his hand. He Dingxian didn't care, instead he patted his shoulder and handed over one hundred Hong Kong dollars in cash and ten ten-dollar bills. .

Wu Shihao took the Hong Kong dollar with a smile on his face, relaxed a lot, and said, "Boss, just call me Ah Hao."

Lardboy continued to introduce: "This is Wu Shijie, Ah Hao's biological brother."

"Ajie."

"Fortunately." He Dingxian's heart jumped a few times when he heard this, but his face remained calm. He patted Wu Shijie's shoulder again and handed over the same amount of Hong Kong banknotes. Wu Shijie was two years younger than Wu Shihao, and his face was also more immature. It's cleaner, without Wu Shihao's sharp edges and acne pits. It looks more delicate, but less fierce and fierce.

Wu Shijie held Hong Kong dollars in his hand and bowed with satisfaction: "Thank you very much, boss!"

He has concluded that the two brothers Wu Shihao and Wu Shijie are the famous gangsters in history. His brother Wu Shihao is very famous. He founded the famous brand "Yiqun" in the 1960s and was nicknamed "Lame Hao". The two brothers even relied on doing The flour business squeezes into one of the "four major families" in Jianghu.

These four major families refer to the four major interest groups in Hong Kong Island in the 1970s, whose main business was selling flour. They have nothing to do with the other forces dubbed the "Four Major Families".

The story of Wu Shihao's fortune has been adapted into many movies. He and Inspector Lei Luo are one black and one white, and they have always been a very topical gangster.

But now he is in a worse situation than Lard Boy. At least Lard Boy is in charge of three movie stores. He is also selling tickets and doing odd jobs in movie stores.

He Dingxian continued to pay the salaries of the remaining two clerks, and his mood became calm and rational.

The city of Hong Kong currently has a total population of more than two million. Famous figures from the past ten, twenty, and fifty years, whether they are black and white, or business and political circles, have gathered together, and some of them are still there. When starting a business, some are still struggling at the bottom, and some are even precarious. It is normal to encounter some, and there is no need to care too much.

"The Analects of Confucius Gongye Chang": "In a city with ten houses, there must be loyalty."

What he has to respect now is his boss, the big boss in power, not any future boss or tycoon. He can use these people if they are useful to him, and throw them away if they are not useful. Anyway, the salary paid out does not support idle people, he only fights for his own interests. , asking them to provide enough money for doing things, so as not to owe each other anything.

He didn't come to the movie store to pay his salary because of who he was, but just in name and ability, and he couldn't pretend to be someone else. At the beginning of his career, paying his salary in person was the only way to cultivate the loyalty of his employees.

It can also avoid being ignored by managers.

For example, lard boy.

This is a principle he learned when he robbed banks to share the loot. In addition, Lardboy is really a geek with his own recruiting ability. It is a bit slippery to use, but it becomes more and more comfortable the more he uses it.

"Lard Boy, did you invite them to work in the store on purpose?" The final film was about to start showing at six o'clock, and Wu Shihao and the others still needed to go to work, so He Dingxian did not stay in the movie store for a long time and took a rickshaw. Went to the Movie Store No. 2 in Kowloon Tong, intending to distribute food to the employees of the No. 2 store.

He sat in the rickshaw and asked Lardboy who was traveling the same way. Lardboy was wearing a T-shirt and admitted with a smile: "Yes, Brother Xian."

"I heard that two fierce men killed Guilidong at the dock, leaving you without even a chance to fire a shot. I felt in my heart that these two men were talents that I couldn't let go. Since you are a police officer, it's hard to recruit them. I can use the business of the movie store to attract business for you. When you need to hire people in the future, you will not be short of Zaizi. It will be very miserable if you go out to work alone." Lard Zai said with a smile: "I am a big-hearted person. My hands are short and my feet are short, I can’t hit anyone, I’m very scared!”

He Dingxian sneered: "Why do you make them obey?"

Lardboy laughed and said, "I give them food to eat! If they don't want to starve to death, they have to do things for me!"

"Moreover, out of the fifteen people working on the pier, only eight came back alive. I eliminated three of them who were not from Chaoshan, and only five were recruited. The rest of the shop assistants were all fellow villagers recruited from Shek Kip Mei. ."

"Almost all of them are new immigrants who have just fled. They have no way of doing anything. They either go to the docks to work as coolies or to work as killers. They are not willing to be sucked out by the associations on the docks, offended by the rewards they receive, and are raped by others. Even if you beat me, you won’t be able to get a job.”

"To put it bluntly, they can't even pull the cart!"

Ni Kun pricked up his ears.

Lardboy's tone was sarcastic: "If Chao Yiyong hadn't thought that they were fellow villagers, he would have been killed long ago. Naturally, other docks would not have accepted him, and he would eventually be reduced to going to the union to serve as a 'head' substitute." For a crime, he was imprisoned for three to five days at a time and was given fifty Hong Kong dollars. He did it several times and was tricked. He gave fifty dollars to his brother to commit the crime. The person who promised to bail him ran away. If not last time If you step forward, the lives of the Wu brothers will be over."
