Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 21 Take action

Wu Shijie put away the movie tickets with a cigarette in his mouth and stared at the movements of the people on the opposite side. The more he watched, the more disgusted he felt.

Wu Shihao came forward with two helpers and said in a cold voice: "Ajie, what's wrong with you?"

"Come to steal business."

Wu Shijie replied in a bad tone.

At this time, the people on the opposite side had already set up the shelves of the movie studio, and someone else carried out a projector and a box of DVDs. The noisy guests had already gathered around.

The two movie stores opened together, less than 20 meters apart, and their intention to steal business was obvious to passers-by.

Wu Shihao frowned and said, "Xin Kai, take a rickshaw immediately and report to the boss. Today the boss and Brother Lard are celebrating the opening of the new store in Shanghai Street."

"Got it, Brother Hao." An employee of the movie store nodded in agreement, turned around and ran to the intersection outside. Wu Shihao's performance on the pier had already impressed the bad guys. He had more say among the movie store employees, so he usually gave orders. No one will refuse anything.

Wu Shijie said: "Brother Hao, what should we do?"

"Let's start work as usual. I'll go check it out later." Wu Shihao lit a cigarette, glanced at his brother, and made a vague gesture. Wu Shijie immediately understood and returned to the tool box in the studio to dig out a few pictures. blade.

These days, anyone who does street business will always hide a few sharp weapons in their stalls. Without them, they are just for self-protection.

Just because you don't offend others doesn't mean that others won't offend you. Even if the police or the society can't offend you, you can still talk about things more simply when you hold a knife. When pressed, you have to have the courage of an ordinary man to splash blood, otherwise you won't even be able to do it. Not even a bite to eat.

In turbulent times, there is no stable job. If you want to hold on to your job, you have to stab your mouth!

The Wu brothers and the gangsters on the pier were very satisfied with the work of the movie store, and they were also somewhat grateful to Boss He. They were happy that Boss He kept the movie store business.

Since the boss talks to them about fellow villagers, they can't let others step on their heads and shit. Chaoshan people are born to be like this.

Qiu Degen stood in Qiu's One Yuan Cinema and was busy adjusting the projector. Five helpers were setting up tables and chairs. Zhao Zhiyuan, a plainclothes man in Kowloon Tong, was wearing a white shirt, with three buttons unbuttoned at the collar, revealing a large gold chain. He sat on a chair with his legs crossed.

Qiu De even saw someone striding over from the Yiyuan Movie opposite, and said in a rather uneasy mood: "Sir Zhao, wouldn't it be bad to blatantly open a store next to others to steal business?"

As the cousin of Inspector Hua Zhao Yutang of the Kowloon Tong Police Station, Zhao Zhiyuan has always been a domineering character in Kowloon Tong. He immediately waved his hands and said: "I'm afraid of him! Today we came here just to tell Hua Yaoxian directly. He doesn’t have any share of the territory in Kowloon Tong. Since he refuses to share my boss’s account, then get out of Kowloon Tong and go back to his Yau Ma Tei.”

Now Qiu Tak is far from being the future chairman of the Far East Group. He is just a fledgling businessman in Hong Kong. When he saw the Yiyuan Movie Store in Shek Kip Mei making money, he immediately thought it was a good business, and he and his wife immediately decided to save the money for washing dishes. Five thousand dollars invested in the one dollar movie store business.

He and his wife fled Hong Kong from the mainland to Kowloon five years ago. They squatted in the restaurant day and night, cleaning dishes, and lived frugally. They would not rest all year round. After "new immigrants" and "old Hong Kong people" were doing the same thing but earning three salaries, they immediately decided not to work for people. Later, relying on their experience in running a theater in Shanghai, they found a job showing slideshows for people. Improved life slightly.

However, Qiu De is not a young kid who doesn't know anything. Since he was born in a family of small traders, he has been very knowledgeable about business since he was a child. Although his family was poor, he worked at the "Da Guangming Cinema" in Shanghai at the age of fifteen. Working part-time, with only a junior high school dropout education.

But it was the first cinema in the Far East!

He later saved a sum of money and rented a movie theater in Shanghai's "Metropolitan Cinema" and contracted to run it. Unfortunately, he suffered heavy losses due to the war and fled to Hong Kong Island in poverty.

Therefore, he had the courage, vision, and ability to run the movie store well. In fact, he did start through the movie theater business, and later became the "theater king" in the New Territories, and was known as the "self-made Shanghai guy."

At this time, the Shanghu man nodded and agreed: "With Chief Zhao sitting in charge, everything will be fine. Brother, please speak louder and sell the tickets."

"Got it, boss." A helper shouted, and Zhao Zhiyuan showed a proud expression. He and his cousin Inspector Zhao are both from Ningbo. They grew up in Ningbo when they were young. At the same time, Qiu Degen and his wife Qiu Jinlan are from Ningbo. Also from Ningbo, after receiving the news, Detective Zhao Yutang of Kowloon Tonghua took the initiative to talk to Qiu Degeng about cooperation. Qiu De, who grew up in Shanghai, knew more about the power of local snakes and knew that doing business requires official figures. support.

Qiu Degen hit it off with Zhao Yutang immediately and agreed to give half of the dividends from his movie stores to Zhao Yutang. Zhao Yutang won all the business in the entire Kowloon Tong District for him. He also promised that after winning the business in the Kowloon Tong District, he would He was introduced to Inspector Liu Fu of Zonghua. If he became Liu Fu's disciple, he would open a shop with him in the entire Dongguan Gang's territory in the future.

Therefore, within one month, Yau Tak-keng opened three movie stores, one in Lok Fuk Road, Kowloon Tong, and two in Wong Tai Sin District. Wong Tai Sin District is also under the jurisdiction of the Kowloon Tong Police Station. The one that opened to Shek Kip Mei was The fourth store also officially told Ho Ting-hsien that he could no longer survive in Kowloon Tong!

Zhao Zhiyuan stood up when he saw Wu Shihao coming to the door. He unconsciously put his right hand on the gun in his waist bag and stared at him fiercely.

Wu Shihao said hello to Qiu Degen who came up: "Boss, someone has taken care of the business here."

Qiu De even more happily pulled out a cigarette and handed it over with a smile on his face, and said politely: "Brother, I just opened the store next to it and it didn't block the road. Please give me some face and let's make a fortune together."

Wu Shihao raised his hand coldly to push away the cigarette, glanced at Zhao Zhiyuan behind him, and shouted: "The movie store is not a flower basket seller, there is no reason to open the store together, I see your ticket price is also one yuan, no You have to be able to steal business, otherwise why don't you sell me a favor?"

Zhao Zhiyuan let out a sneer, unabashedly lifted the corner of his clothes, revealing the handle of a black gun, and yelled: "Who the hell are you worthy of me selling face, get out!"

"Otherwise, I'll pierce a hole in your head and you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"

Wu Shihao clenched his fists, with a fierce look in his eyes, and lowered his voice: "Sir, you are not the only one on Hong Kong Island who has a gun."

Zhao Zhiyuan smiled: "I want you to stand up with the gun behind you! He is just a playboy, how can he be qualified to carry a gun! Today I am here to maintain public order and see who dares to take action!"

Before he finished speaking, there were more than a dozen club boys around him picking up the guy and staring at Wu Shihao eagerly. They were all members of the Dongying Society. Just by looking at their aura, they looked like they had seen blood.

The plainclothes Tanmu was also a well-established Jianghu person. When he needed to find trouble, he didn't need to do anything himself. He just gave an order and Dongyingshe, who was also a member of the Dongguan Gang, would help him.

Not only is this third-rate club incapable of getting along with the real big boss, it doesn't even dare to offend a single Hua Tanmu. Zhao Zhiyuan is already in an invincible position just standing here. Anyone who takes action will be arrested and sent to the police station. It's basically Even Wu Shihao had to hold back a breath of anger since he couldn't find anything illegal.

But after Wu Shihao turned around without saying a word, he slapped Wu Shijie with his hand: "Ajie, do it!"
