Chapter 539: Having Status

Wang Yan took a drag of his cigarette, ignored the trembling finance person, and looked at Feng Kun, who was sitting opposite him, carefully accompanying him with a smiling face: "A-Kun, you are Gao Hong's confidant and have an affair with his wife. Do you know exactly how much Gao Hong is worth?"

"Brother Yan, I really don't know." Feng Kun shook his head: "We're all men, you know, Gao Hong's wife and children are just for show at home. Those who owe money to our usury company and don't pay it back, and are sent to film, if there are beautiful ones, he is the first to **. In addition, he has two women raised outside, both of whom have children for him. In such a situation, his wife can't touch the money. However, the finance person previously estimated according to the income of these years, excluding the restaurants, bars, and other real estate under his name, there could still be 200 million, only more, not less.

Brother Yan, don't worry, I have already contacted a lawyer today. Tomorrow I will report him as missing, and next month I will go through normal legal channels to get all the property under Gao Hong's name."

Wang Yan nodded and stared at him expressionlessly: "A-Kun, don't let me down again."

"Brother Yan, I promise, there will definitely not be a next time."

Feng Kun knew very well that if it weren't for this matter, he would already be dead. Now, he didn't even dare to embezzle Gao Hong's money and run away. He didn't doubt at all that Wang Yan could kill his way to his hometown in Taiwan and dig up his family's graves. What's more, his whole family was here now, and he had to direct others to do things. The people left yesterday were all Wang Yan's supporters now. If he had any small thoughts, it would be worse than death.

It was just like the two people who were thrown out and had their legs broken. Without the support of the hundreds of people behind them, and with broken legs—the key was that neither of them had a proper identity—even if they didn't die, their lives would be miserable beyond words. He didn't want to reach that point.

"We came out to mix just for money, we can't let everyone go hungry and not be able to support their families. From now on, the salary of the lowest-level subordinates will be raised to 200,000. As for the leaders who manage people like them, I have already promised before that their share will be increased by another 10%. Let's just do this for now, and we'll talk about the rest after I understand the specifics. In addition, several positions for leaders who manage people have been vacated. Tomorrow I will have my previous brothers come over to take over. You arrange it."

After giving instructions to Feng Kun, Wang Yan looked at the finance person on the side. This person was naturally also from Taiwan and was trusted by Gao Hong; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hand over such things to this kid.

Wang Yan said to him: "A new emperor has a new court. Although I am not an emperor, I am also a new boss. I know you are Gao Hong's confidant, but you can rest assured that as long as you work honestly and don't play any small tricks, nothing will happen to you. I have always kept my word. Look at A-Kun, isn't he Gao Hong's confidant too? Isn't he fine? Where are you looking? I didn't tell you to look at his leg; that was his own fault.

Listen well, I'll give you three days to calculate the accounts for me. I have thirty-seven people under me, and their treatment must be the same as the previous ones. After going to the Triad Society's share, prepare as much money as you can for me to use. Three days later, I will check the accounts. Don't harbor any fluke mentality, thinking that I don't understand the account book and can just fool me. If the accounts are balanced, then everything is easy to talk about. If they are not balanced, then say goodbye to your family and prepare for your funeral.

You can do it well, right?"

Facing Wang Yan's smiling eyes, the finance person nodded repeatedly and even raised three fingers to swear: "Brother Yan, I promise, I definitely won't let you down."

Ignoring this finance person, Wang Yan drank the wine in his glass, stood up, and patted Feng Kun on the shoulder: "Arrange for these three brothers of mine, find some Japanese women for them to play with, I'm leaving first."

Amidst the respectful send-off of everyone, Wang Yan left slowly, leaving behind Xiao Dai, Tai Bao, and Tie Tou, who were laughing, all looking at Feng Kun.

Being able to be brought by Wang Yan's side, they were naturally all true die-hards. Feng Kun wasn't ignorant, and immediately sent someone to take these three to the shop in Kabukicho to have fun...

From the time Wang Yan gave a speech and brainwashed the hundred or so subordinates who originally belonged to the Tainan Gang, it could be seen that Wang Yan had effectively taken control of the Tainan Gang. If it were to be said earlier, it was last night, starting from the small leaders who didn't make a move. They were scared out of their wits and couldn't afford to resist, and they controlled half of the Tainan Gang's vital force. As for the other half, the leaders were all killed, and they couldn't be organized, posing no threat to Wang Yan at all.

The next day, Wang Yan went to see all the industries and understood the specific situation. Not to mention the restaurants, those bars, video game halls, and wind and customs shops were really very profitable. Even the worst bar had a turnover of tens of millions every month. Of course, this included fake wine, women accompanying drinking and sleeping, and all the money for eating and drinking. It was mainly because these bars were all very large and very lively.

With such income, after deducting the half to be shared with the Triad Society, and the nearly 40 million for paying the subordinates' salaries, as well as various public relations expenses, the money left in his hands was only 10 or 20 million.

Being a boss had a boss's difficulties. Gao Hong looked glorious, but the operation wasn't small, and he supported so many people who were eating and doing nothing. It was because he was stingy and didn't pay his subordinates much that he saved up some family assets.

Of course, it was also because Gao Hong's development was only in the last three or four years, just catching up with Japan's rise, and everything was good to do, and being a hooligan doing gray production was even more profitable. Being able to have those restaurants, bars, and real estate, and scraping together seven or eight hundred million, which was more than 60 million in Chinese currency, was already quite good, and he could be called a rich man.

Compared to Gao Hong, this rich man, the subordinates under Wang Yan who were crazy about money and didn't want their lives, naturally couldn't fight for nothing.

Including Tie Tou and Tai Bao, a total of five people were promoted to be small leaders. There was no Old Ghost; Wang Yan clearly told him that it was because he had played tricks before, and it would be his turn when there was a vacancy next time. Old Ghost naturally nodded repeatedly and had to thank Brother Yan. As for what he thought in his heart, it was unknown, and it didn't matter. Xiao Dai wasn't arranged; this guy's brain wasn't good, so he would be a bodyguard by his side in the future.

As for the remaining subordinates, they were filled into various venues, either watching the door, collecting protection fees, or going out to collect debts with the Tainan Gang subordinates who were skilled in business before. There were even people who found Wang Yan and wanted to film and be the male lead...

Wang Yan agreed. After all, their appearance was okay, and their little brothers were big enough; otherwise, they wouldn't have volunteered. It was also pretty good to add some fierce medicine like this. The most important thing was that they were the subordinates who followed him at the beginning. If he didn't satisfy this requirement, how could he lead the team? Anyway, they were all making money for him. As long as the conditions were met and they didn't cause him trouble, they could do whatever they wanted.

Their treatment was naturally the 200,000 mentioned before. This number wasn't much different from before they fought for their lives, just 20,000 or 30,000, but the treatment was a world of difference.

Before, they still had to smile at people on the street. Now, that wasn't the case. Occasionally, they could find a place to eat, drink, and sleep with women. They were all their own industries. Although they also spent money, they were all discounted, and life was much better than before.

Of course, Wang Yan wouldn't wear down their fighting spirit. He still found a dilapidated factory building in the suburbs, renovated it casually, added some equipment, and let them go there to exercise and take regular assessments. Although everything was business and although the underworld wasn't about fighting and killing, they were proper hooligans, not the kind of small hooligans who played rogue. Their foundation was fighting and killing, and their housekeeping skills always had to be practiced well.

According to what was agreed before, on the afternoon of the third day, Wang Yan went to check the accounts. The finance person, who was already haggard and exhausted, didn't let Wang Yan down. The accounts were indeed balanced, and the specific numbers also matched. The money that could be extracted was as much as 50 million. This was all working capital, ensuring the money for the normal operation of other industries.

They were all businesses that made quick money. In this entertainment industry, although Japan had begun to fail now, those who should play didn't delay their enjoyment, and the money that should be earned was still being earned. What working capital was needed? Besides, even if working capital was needed, it shouldn't flow from him, but should be asked from the Triad Society. So Wang Yan directly extracted this sum of money and, in the name of the lending company, lent it to a Japanese subordinate. A few days ago, what was happening simultaneously was using his name to find a lawyer to apply for the registration of a technology company.

Although the laws of each country were different, the way of playing was the same. The purpose was to clear the relationship through various turnovers, and at the same time, avoid taxes without delaying making money.

After encouraging the finance person, Wang Yan left with satisfaction and went to the restaurant belonging to his own family. A-Watching Ajie, Tie Tou, and Xiao Dai were already waiting in the private room eating and drinking.

"Brother Yan." Seeing Wang Yan enter, the three stood up to greet him.

"Alright, we're all our own people, no need to be so polite, sit down, sit down." Wang Yan sat down smilingly, looked at the three people who had expectations, took out three residence permits from his pocket, and placed them on the table: "Take a look."

Eguchi Toshinari had his word. He said three days, and it was three days. At noon today, he sent someone to find Feng Kun and handed the five residence permits to him.

The three reached out in unison, grabbed them to take a look, and then exchanged them in a circle, found the one with their own head portrait, grinned and laughed foolishly, and stared at it without blinking.

Wang Yan didn't disturb them and ate and drank on his own.

Tie Tou's feeling was actually okay. He was happy, but not very happy. He just couldn't return to China, and now he had a proper identity here and didn't have to be a black household. He had no other feelings. After all, he came with Wang Yan, and it had only been a month since they came ashore.

A-Watching Ajie and Xiao Dai were different. They had been here for several years, working black jobs and doing dirty and tiring work for others, not to mention earning that little money. They had also suffered a lot of grievances over the years, and were occasionally chased around by the police, fearing deportation back to their country. Compared to Tie Tou, they had suffered more, and the impact of this small card in their hands was much, much greater. So the two of them laughed until their eyes turned red...

"Alright, that's enough. You're such big men, what are you wiping tears for? Come, drink, drink." Wang Yan held up his wine glass and knocked on the table, waking up the two who were immersed in their own world.

A-Watching Ajie wiped his eyes and raised his wine glass: "Brother Yan, thank you for helping me get my status. From now on, whatever you say is what it is, I'll give you my life."

Xiao Dai also wiped his eyes. It was just that he was a bit tongue-tied because A-Watching Ajie had said what he wanted to say. However, he was straightforward and simply said: "Brother Yan, I won't say so much. Whoever you tell me to hack, I'll hack. Respect you, Brother Yan."

After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all.

"Your temper is too urgent. A-Watching Ajie, you, don't always thank me. Didn't I tell you, do the work I entrusted to you well, that's helping me. Come, Tie Tou, let's have a drink together."

Xiao Dai poured himself another glass of wine and drank one with Wang Yan and the others.

Putting down the wine glass, Tie Tou laughed: "This Eguchi Toshinari still keeps his promise and handled the things he promised us."

"Where is he keeping his promise?" Xiao Dai curled his lips, full of disdain: "That's because he's afraid we'll kill him. When Brother Yan asked you before, it wasn't like you didn't see it. That Eguchi Toshinari pretended to be a person, wasn't he also trembling? Little Japanese are wolves that can't be raised. Brother Yan, I think we should find an opportunity to kill them. Don't forget, last time we almost beat his subordinate to death. You said you couldn't stand the look in that little Japanese's eyes. I estimate they are waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against us. You must pay attention to safety during this period, Brother Yan. The brothers are all counting on you."

Tie Tou very much agreed with Xiao Dai's words and nodded repeatedly: "Xiao Dai is right, Brother Yan. And the tree is big and the wind is strong. The fact that we wiped out the Tainan Gang has already spread, and the name of the Tongzhou Society has been lit up. It's definitely not going to be easy."

These words were not false. They were all mixing in the Tokyo hooligan circle. Although Wang Yan's actions were decisive, fast, and clean, he still had to receive the industries. In addition, there was Feng Kun, the original second-in-command, who went out to show his face with a broken leg and a crutch, not to mention the thirty or so strange faces of Tie Tou and others. Counting the various people who had contact with Gao Hong before, they couldn't contact Gao Hong recently.

These things all showed that the Tainan Gang had some changes. If one inquired and asked, although one might not know the specifics, one could still know that the Tainan Gang had been wiped out and the original industries had changed hands. Besides, Wang Yan didn't cover it up and didn't tell his subordinates not to tell others. It was very normal for outsiders to know that a new Tongzhou Society had emerged.

Most importantly, there were also police from the Metropolitan Police Department paying attention to these large and small hooligan groups. And two days ago, Feng Kun also took Gao Hong's wife to the Shinjuku police station to report him as missing. Police and bandits were very difficult to separate; after all, they had always been dealing with each other, so those who should know this news would always know.

The Tongzhou Society could also be considered to have walked into the Tokyo hooligan circle. Recently, some gang leaders had been very active in sending invitations to meet with Wang Yan.

Wang Yan indeed always said he was a hooligan, but if you asked him, he would definitely shake his head and deny it firmly. So, Wang Yan couldn't go to such things, just instructed Feng Kun, who was busy, to come forward, convey the philosophy of the Tongzhou Society, and deal with it. It was good enough not to wipe them out, and still go to be brothers with them?

"Don't worry, I have a count." Wang Yan looked at Xiao Dai: "Now that the residence permit is down, you should go learn to drive during this period and be my driver in the future."

Xiao Dai nodded: "Brother Yan, don't worry, I will definitely protect you, block bullets for you, and ensure your safety."

"Forget it, it's not certain who protects whom." This was what A-Watching Ajie said. He still couldn't forget the scene in the bathhouse before, where Wang Yan slapped four Japanese hooligans flying with four big slaps.

Compared to what A-Watching Ajie saw, Xiao Dai, who had been beaten up by himself and went to hack people together, naturally understood better. He could only say that he didn't want his life, but also had to ensure Brother Yan's safety.

Talking and laughing, the four of them chatted about how hard life was before, recalled the bitterness and thought of the sweetness, and the meal passed just like that.

After the meal, each lit a post-meal cigarette to digest. Tie Tou said: "Brother Yan, can I take subordinates?"

Wang Yan thought for a while and asked smilingly: "It's that Hong Kong kid, right?"

"Isn't it him? Brother Yan, you don't know, these past few days that Hong Kong kid always goes to find Tie Tou at the place where we live." A-Watching Ajie took over the conversation: "Saying that Tie Tou saved his life before, and now that he knows Tie Tou is a member of the Tongzhou Society and manages a bar, he wants to come over to help. Saying so much, isn't it just seeing that Tie Tou is developed and wants to join in to make money."

"It's all for life. How is it, Brother Yan? Can he join?"

"Originally, we didn't plan to expand in the past few months. However, since you've opened your mouth, it doesn't matter if one more comes in. What's the 'can or cannot'?" Wang Yan exhaled a puff of smoke, and his slender fingers flicked the ash: "You have to tell him the rules well, so that when it's time to clean him up for breaking the rules, he won't complain to me."

Tie Tou vouched for the Hong Kong kid: "Don't worry, Brother Yan. I've been in contact with him for a while, and I feel he's not bad. With me watching, there's no problem. It's just that he dares to fight and is an acquaintance, so it's safe to use him."

"The person is your subordinate, you watch and use him." Wang Yan nodded noncommittally and didn't say anything.

The Hong Kong kid later participated in the drug trafficking activities with A-Watching Ajie and the others. He was also the first to attack Tie Tou, without a word, very decisively taking out a knife to stab his waist, and then slitting Old Ghost's throat with another knife. If it weren't for Nakajima Hiroshi and the dead ghost Gao Hong throwing stones in to smash the Hong Kong kid to death, it was hard to say if this kid could have scared others away with this ruthlessness and directly taken the position of boss.

Of course, that was the original, now he was under Wang Mouren's command, and no one knew what would happen in the future. Maybe he would rely on the ruthlessness in his bones to climb up under him, or maybe he would collude with outsiders to eat inside and out; both were possible.

There was no other big event for dinner today; it was just giving them the residence permits and seeing what state A-Watching Ajie was in. Now that they were full and drunk, there was nothing more to say, and Wang Yan went out to take a taxi back to Li Li's place... ===== CHAPTER 540 =====
