Chapter 282 Lu Yongqiang's Suspicion
As Da Fei finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang shook his head and said, "Da Fei, fifty million does sound like a lot, but you want me to send someone out. This is already a friendship price. If it's any lower, I won't be able to explain to my brothers. You don't want me to pay for it, do you?"
"I have a rough idea of the reason you are in this predicament. Fatty Li bears a great responsibility.
If he hadn't been so unreliable, according to Chen Yao's arrangements at the time, even though Liansheng had more men than you, it would still have been a stalemate. You might have suffered a minor loss, but it certainly wouldn't have escalated to this situation. Fatty Li is responsible, but doesn't Jiang Tiansheng, who asked Fatty Li to send someone, also have any responsibility?"
"Da Fei, even though you're not Jiang Tiansheng's top man, you're still his confidant. If you're facing difficulties and can't solve them yourself, you can always turn to Jiang Tiansheng. Will he just watch you die and not help you?"
Da Fei was stunned by Lu Yongqiang's words. He pondered for a while, then said, "Last night, both the prince and the handsome boy suffered heavy losses. The resettlement and medical expenses of their subordinates are still paid by Mr. Jiang..."
"If I go to Mr. Jiang again, wouldn't that be... a bit too much? Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"
Hearing what Da Fei said, Lu Yongqiang curled his lips, then slumped on the sofa behind him, and said indifferently: "Da Fei, I have pointed out the way for you. If you can't bring yourself to do it, then just pay for it yourself.
Don't cry poor to me. You have been the boss for so many years and have your own business. Don't tell me you don't have any savings?
And that time with the Triple Alliance, you definitely got more than a few million from Ding Yao? You're someone who never gets anything without a profit. You actually rushed to be an undercover agent for Ding Yao. It couldn't have been just a few million, you must have gotten something else we don't know about..."
Hearing Lu Yongqiang mention the past, Da Fei didn't wait for Lu Yongqiang to finish his words and immediately said, "Brother Qiang, what are you talking about? Didn't I explain the Sanlian Gang incident at the gang meeting? I went undercover at the time because I thought it was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the society. Secondly, it was for my sister. After all, she was engaged to Da Tianer, and Da Tianer was a brother of Liangzai Nan. Helping Liangzai Nan was the same as helping my sister."
Lu Yongqiang sneered, "Da Fei, no matter what benefits you got, after so long, you should have already secured them. Why are you still saying these deceptive words? Are you afraid that I will have a share?"
"Da Fei, it's getting late. If you need my help, please let me know sooner rather than later. It will take me some time to gather the manpower.
Also, if there's nothing else, I won't keep you here. You're bored, but I have a lot to do. I also need to go to Tsz Wan Shan."
After Da Fei left, Lu Yongheng walked out of the study next to him, walked over to sit down opposite Lu Yongqiang, and then said, "Brother, you said Da Fei went to find Jiang Tiansheng. Will Jiang Tiansheng pay the 50 million for him?"
Lu Yongqiang rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell? Jiang Tiansheng may be rich, but 50 million is not a small amount. Do you think he will pay that much?"
“Tonight, we at Hung Hing will most likely join forces with He Liansheng to take over Dong Xing.
When they start a war, I will personally lead people to Tsz Wan Shan and take over at least half of Wong Tai Sin's territory.
That bastard Crow only cares about food and not punishment. This time, he must be taught a lesson."
After Tung Sing swallowed up the Wong Tai Sin area, that area was assigned to the Crows.
Crow might have a natural incompatibility with Luk Wing-keung. Before he even established a firm foothold in the Wong Tai Sin district, he actually sent people to the instant noodle factory to collect protection money.
If Crow could gain a foothold in the Wong Tai Sin district, Lu Yongqiang would have to pay the protection fee. However, before the matter was settled, Crow sent people to cause trouble. This was too ugly, and Lu Yongqiang was naturally unhappy.
What if the place is taken away by another society right after I paid the money? Then the money would be wasted...
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Lu Yongheng said, "Brother, do you really think Jiang Tiansheng will cooperate with Deng Fei from Heliansheng and send people to attack the Wong Tai Sin district? Don't guess wrong, or we will be passive."
"If you ask me, since Wong Tai Sin is next to Kwun Tong, it would be best for us Hung Hing to cooperate with Tung Sing. As long as Tung Sing is willing to cooperate, we will definitely be able to take over the entire Kwun Tong."
"And what if, I mean, Jiang Tiansheng is willing to pay the 50 million? What should we do then? Should we really send someone to help Dafei?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "If Jiang Tiansheng is really willing to pay 50 million, why don't we help Dafei? 50 million is already a lot, and it's time for our people to see blood. Otherwise, after a long time, I'm afraid no one will be able to lift a knife."
Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Lu Yongheng thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I'm not questioning your decision. I still think it's impossible for Jiang Tiansheng to cooperate with He Liansheng. Last night, the two sides fought to the death. If they cooperate tonight, how are they going to explain this to the younger brothers below?
Furthermore, Heliansheng has been declining in recent years and is even weaker than Dongxing. Why did Jiang Tiansheng abandon Dongxing, a strong ally, and instead ally with Heliansheng?
After Lu Yongheng finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang shook his head and said, "Ah Heng, I always wanted you to do the right thing, and I never told you some things, so you think that He Liansheng has been going downhill, but that's not the case.
Deng Fei has been in control of Heliansheng for decades, but he is a real old fox. Since 1984, this old guy has been preparing for the period after 97 and has always focused Heliansheng's development overseas.
In recent years, Heliansheng has indeed been declining in Hong Kong, but its influence abroad has grown significantly and has developed very smoothly. It has a strong presence in Yangon and Mandalay, Myanmar.
“That old fellow Deng Fei had probably already made up his mind to abandon Gangcheng, so he transferred a lot of Heliansheng’s assets to Myanmar.
This is the information Xiyan told me. Afterwards, I asked Shouhou to conduct a special investigation. The Liansheng Group in Yangon and the Hesheng Group in Mandalay, these two big companies, have some relationship with Heliansheng.
Therefore, Heliansheng is not going downhill, but is slowly transferring its influence from Hong Kong City to foreign countries."
"And when do the decisions made by the society's top brass need to be explained to the subordinates? Besides, even if the subordinates have some complaints afterwards, as long as there are big gains tonight, they will naturally not make a fuss. Instead, they will praise Jiang Tiansheng's wisdom and bravery."
Lu Yongqiang has always felt that the reason why Deng Bo and other He Liansheng veterans were able to control the power of He Liansheng was the result of these people playing a balancing game.
But recently, Xiyan has told Lu Yongqiang not to just look at things superficially. On the surface, the elders like Deng Bo can be in power because of the checks and balances among the lower-level gangs.
But in fact, the group of elders headed by Deng Bo directly controlled the public accounts of He Liansheng. Unlike the elders of Hongxing, they not only managed the account books, but also directly managed the accounts. In the hands of these old guys, all the property accumulated by He Liansheng for nearly a hundred years was controlled.
According to careful estimation, this amount of money is probably tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.
This money is the greatest power held by veterans like Deng Bo.
Hung Hing is a bit like a joint-stock company. The public accounts of Hung Hing are not in the hands of one party, but are jointly held by all the leaders, decision-makers and veterans of the society.
Therefore, if Jiang Tiansheng wants to use the money in the public account, he must get everyone's consent.
But it is different from Liansheng. The public accounts of Liansheng have always been in the hands of several elders of the society. No matter who wants to use the money, they need the consent of these elders.
The reason for this arrangement was to take into account that after these community elders retired, they would have no one to take charge, and after taking control of public funds, they would not dare to have any evil thoughts.
Moreover, the members of the elders group do not remain unchanged. According to the original plan, these elders will be replaced every few years.
However, the people who set up this system had made all kinds of calculations, but they did not expect that Deng Bo, an outlier, could stay in power at Heliansheng for more than 20 years.
According to Xiyan, although the leader before Liansheng was also elected every two years and each person could only serve as the leader for one term, in the past, the position was held by the most capable person, and the people chosen were the most outstanding people in the society at that time.
But after Uncle Deng became the leader, things gradually changed. For a long time, Uncle Deng was the most prominent person in He Liansheng. During that period, He Liansheng was in a period of transition, and the society almost relied on Uncle Deng to support it.
Although Uncle Deng was not the leader of the society at that time, he was better than the leader. During that period, no matter who was the leader, they had to rely on Uncle Deng.
After Deng Bo became a elder of the society, because of his previous prestige, this old guy took control of the entire elders group as soon as he entered the elders group, and then manipulated the election rights for more than ten years.
Also, this old guy has been involved in the society for too long. After knowing the country's attitude towards social organizations, he began to prepare a retreat for himself. Over the years, he has been transferring the society's assets and developing in Myanmar.
Lu Yongqiang guessed that Jiang Tiansheng would cooperate with Deng Bo. It was Shouhou who found out that Jiang Tiansheng's private company had a lot of cooperation with these two companies and had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in industries in Myanmar.
The fact that there are so many collaborations between the companies means that Jiang Tiansheng and Uncle Deng must have a good personal relationship. If he doesn't want his investment in Myanmar to go to waste, he can't offend Uncle Deng too much.
In fact, there is another important basis for Lu Yongqiang's judgment.
After the conflict between Dongxing and Heliansheng, Luotuo of Dongxing took the initiative to seek an alliance with Hongxing.
Most of Tung Sing's territory is in the New Territories. To Hung Hing, Tung Sing's territory is a bit useless. It would be a pity to lose it, but it is tasteless to eat it.
But it is different from Liansheng. Whether it is Liansheng’s territory in Kwun Tong, Sham Shui Po, or Wan Chai, Hung Hing is very interested in them.
When the two sides formed an alliance, Tung Sing wanted to take over Luen Shing's territories in Yau Ma Tei and Wan Chai, while Hung Hing had its eyes on Luen Shing's territories in Kwun Tong and Sham Shui Po.
At that time, the two families had agreed that whether the territory could be taken back or not would depend on their own means.
The two sides formed a secret alliance, and Da Fei and Liang Ma also borrowed people secretly. It can be said that Hongxing had a big move that night, and only Camel from Dongxing and the top leaders of Hongxing knew about it.
However, even Camel of East Star was not clear about the specific target of Hongxing, because although the two sides had secretly divided the territory, it was not certain.
Just like Eastern Star, they swallowed up the entire Wong Tai Sin area that night. This area was not within the scope of discussion...
It can be said that apart from the dozen or so senior members of the Hung Hing gang, the subordinates below them were unaware of the actions in Sham Shui Po and Kwun Tong that day. The specific details of which gangs would mobilize their forces that day were each their own private affairs.
Like Lu Yongqiang, he only found out afterwards that Dafei borrowed people from Han Bin and Dinosaur.
However, it seemed that Liansheng knew all about this secret operation in advance. Jimmy gathered people in Wan Chai and immediately resolved the crisis in Sham Shui Po.
On Dafei's side, one foot stepped into the trap, causing him to suffer heavy losses.
Lu Yongqiang didn't know whether Dafei suspected that someone in the upper echelons of Hongxing had betrayed him, but Lu Yongqiang had some suspicions in his mind.
