Chapter 151: Tianyang

That night.

Water Room Dragon Head Tong Yamin, Wo Ling Sheng's Chuiji and Deng Bo, Number Gang's Huxu Yong and Hong Hanyi, and East Star's Luotuo—these prominent underworld figures from the major societies of Hong Kong Island—gathered in a grand villa.

However, these men sat there silently drinking tea, their expressions varied, and there was no communication between them.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Just then, a chaotic sound of footsteps approached. Tong Yamin, Deng Bo, Huxu Yong, Luotuo, and the others looked up in the direction of the footsteps, only to see Sun Yee On Dragon Head Xu Huayan leading Sun Yee On senior members "Axe" Jun and Chen Yaoxing, along with Xu Huaqiang of the Sun Yee On Xu family, walking toward them.

"A Long."

"Brother Long, A Qiang!"

Seeing this, Tong Yamin, Deng Bo, Huxu Yong, and the others stood up one after another to greet them.

"Why be so formal? Sit, everyone please sit!"

Si Yanlong took the lead, sitting squarely in the center of the living room with a commanding air, while smiling at Luotuo and the others.

After everyone was seated, Si Yanlong took out several cigars to distribute to the group, looked at the tea set in front of him, and asked, "Who will brew the tea tonight?"

"A Long, this is your territory; naturally, you should call the shots."

"Mr. Xu, the guest follows the host's lead."

"You just do it."

Whoever brews the tea calls the shots, and since the villa belonged to Si Yanlong, Tong Yamin, Deng Bo, Luotuo, and the others naturally wouldn't be so tactless.

"Fine."

Si Yanlong lit his cigar, took a tea cake from the canister, broke off a small piece, and dropped it into the teapot: "An old gentleman specially gifted me this Yiwu Tea when I went to Taiwan last time; you are all in for a treat."

The first Dragon Head of Sun Yee On, Si Yanlong's father, was a KMT general. In the fifties, Sun Yee On worked for the KMT, and the first Dragon Head was deported, went to Taiwan, and died there.

Every year, the Xu family would set aside time to make a trip to Taiwan.

"Si Yanlong, you are becoming increasingly focused on health preservation," Deng Bo said with a smile.

"If I don't focus on health now, should I wait until I'm seventy or eighty to consider the problem?"

The tea water soon boiled. Si Yanlong set out several tea bowls, poured the tea, and made a gesture of invitation: "Come, please have some tea."

Everyone stepped forward to take a cup of tea and returned to their original seats.

Si Yanlong took a sip, put down his teacup, shook his head, and said, "I believe everyone knows exactly why I called everyone here tonight."

"Hong Kong and Macau—the biggest sources of profit right now—are all in the hands of Hung Hing."

"Jing Jun is an unreasonable person; if you and I sit here waiting for death, I fear we will soon be devoured by Hung Hing."

After saying this, Si Yanlong sighed, yet his eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the expressions of everyone present.

Because of the Macau Casino affair, the Number Gang had forged a deep blood feud with Chen Jiajun. Although Dragon Head Ge Zixiong had already reconciled with Chen Jiajun over a cup of wine, the Number Gang had suffered severe losses.

It was not just a loss of profit, but also a loss of face.

The Water Room also held a grudge against Chen Jiajun due to the Macau grievances, and their branch in Macau had been uprooted by Chen Jiajun.

Wo Ling Sheng had had one of its branches wiped out by Chen Jiajun.

Only East Star had no direct grievance with Chen Jiajun, but East Star and Hung Hing had always been rivals, and the two sides had been fighting for decades.

Water Room Dragon Head Tong Yamin took a slurp of tea, his expression unmoved.

His nickname was Shenxian Jin, and the Water Room society had split off from Wo Ling Sheng.

At its peak, the Water Room was the head of the Hong Kong societies, but later it declined during the war years and could only struggle to survive.

At that time, Tong Yamin stood out; he had studied Hung Ga since he was a child, and it was he who led the declining Water Room to regain its former glory.

Leading the Water Room to regain its glory wasn't just about being a good fighter; it required a great deal of strategy and scheming.

Because he never missed a move and could often accurately predict the situation and make corresponding deployments, the underworld called him Shenxian Jin!

He knew well that after a series of major events, Hung Hing's cohesion was now unprecedented.

Although he was unwilling to sit by and watch Hung Hing grow big and strong, he was even less willing to come out and be cannon fodder.

Thinking of this, he looked at Wo Ling Sheng's Deng Bo.

The reason he didn't look at Chuiji was simple.

As a member of the "Wo" family, he knew that Wo Ling Sheng had grown big and strong under Deng Bo's leadership; Chuiji was just a sitting head in the society, while Deng Bo was the spiritual leader of Wo Ling Sheng.

"Lao Jin, don't look at me; I'm already retired," Deng Bo said, shaking his head.

"What, have Hung Hing's many moves lately scared you all into cowards?"

Without waiting for others to speak, Si Yanlong sneered.

The incident where Chen Yaoxing joined forces with Hung Lok had caused Si Yanlong heavy losses. What made Si Yanlong even more unhappy was that people in the underworld now said he, Si Yanlong, was afraid of Hung Hing. Furthermore, due to the loss of territory in Wanchai and Causeway Bay, Sun Yee On's revenue from protection fees was significantly lower than before.

Si Yanlong paused and continued: "There are only two paths for us now: either sit and watch Hung Hing grow big and strong, or attack them together and seize some of the profit zones. Otherwise, we have no other path to take."

"Otherwise, how are we to distribute goods? How are the brothers below to eat?"

"I know that everyone present has grudges against one another, but I hope you can put aside past grievances and first suppress Hung Hing's momentum."

"With us in Sun Yee On, plus Wo Ling Sheng, plus East Star, plus the Number Gang, and plus the Water Room, are we really afraid of one Hung Hing?"

Hearing Si Yanlong's words, the expressions of Deng Bo, Luotuo, and the others shifted; clearly, they had been swayed by Si Yanlong.

Everyone understood that Hung Hing's Jing Jun had a knack for making money; if they didn't take the opportunity to resist now, the only thing waiting for them in the future was death!

Si Yanlong dropped another bombshell: "Furthermore, it is not just us few joining forces this time. Everyone knows that our Sun Yee On has some connections with the Kunsha Group. During the time Jing Jun has been rising, the Kunsha Group's shipment volume has clearly decreased."

"General Kunsha has already dispatched Ba Mian Fo to Hong Kong!"

"Whether you follow or not, that is up to you!"

Hearing this, everyone present was finally moved.

If they had the Kunsha Group as backing, the situation would clearly be in their favor.

With so many of them joining forces, including both underworld societies and warlords, then even if Hung Hing's Dalao Jun were powerful, he would undoubtedly lose!

Hong Hanyi looked around and said: "Jing Jun is different from us now; he has money when he needs money, men when he needs men, and he has the support of big shots like Bao Jueshi and He Xin."

"It is said that he even entered the list of candidates for Justice of the Peace this year. Even the upper echelons of the Gweilo have to respectfully call him Mr. Chen when they see him."

"Heh heh, Hong Hanyi! Back then you even put out a bounty to take out a Police Officer, why are you afraid now?"

Si Yanlong glanced at Hong Hanyi from the corner of his eye, his gaze filled with disdain.

Hong Hanyi, the underground Gambling King after the Money Empire.

In the Hong Kong Number Gang, his strength is about the same as Huxu Yong's.

"Brother Long, you don't need to provoke me! Since you were the one who gathered us here tonight, what do you plan to do?" Hong Hanyi smoked his Cigar and sneered.

In many cases, from his, Hong Hanyi's, perspective, Si Yanlong is just a second-generation triad member who took over his father's position; he cannot compare to those of them who started from scratch.

"Jianghu matters, Jianghu ends."

"No matter how you put it, Jing Jun is still a hoodlum. Even if he really has connected with the upper echelons of the Gweilo, what are we afraid of? I'll tell you the truth, if there's a chance..."

Speaking up to this point, Si Yanlong slammed his Handgun onto the solid wood table.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, everyone couldn't help but feel a tremor in their hearts.

Si Yanlong said slowly, word by word: "Even if we take out Jing Jun, would the upper echelons of the Gweilo and these big families turn against us because of one person's death?"

A trace of chill rose in Hong Hanyi's heart; he had originally thought Si Yanlong was just a second-generation triad member, but he hadn't expected him to have such a decisive side.

But the problem is, who will fire the first shot?

After all, Hong Hing's Dalao Jun is a lunatic!

With at least a thousand gunmen under him, if you really piss him off, he would probably dare to do anything in Hong Kong.

A person's shadow, a tree's name!

The events in Macau have already made people afraid to easily pull his tiger's whiskers!

At this moment, everyone was somewhat hesitant, hesitant about who would fire the first shot!

Black Water Gun, Wang Bao, Central Justice, Fat Dog, Red Music, and Broken Tooth are all cautionary tales.

"Heh heh."

"If everyone can't make up their minds now, then go back and think about it slowly. If you have any ideas, contact me."

Si Yanlong's mouth was dry from talking, and seeing that everyone still hadn't given a clear response, he smiled slightly on the surface, but was cursing them to high heaven in his heart.

Damn it!

At this time, this group of people is still afraid of the nail that sticks out getting hammered; no wonder Chen Jiajun rose so quickly, a bunch of cowards!

"Alright, A Long! Then I will take my leave first."

After hearing Si Yanlong's words, Deng Bo was the first to stand up and say to him.

Having already retired, Deng Bo did not want to get involved in this matter.

He knew one thing: as an elder, it was not appropriate for him to overstep his bounds and make decisions for Chuiji.

Although the triad is strong and the juniors below pay him more respect, if a major loss is suffered, he would have to come out and take the blame.

Deng Bo is not dissatisfied with his current life, so why take this risk?

Subsequently, Hong Hanyi, Huxu Yong, Tong Yamin, and others also stood up one after another to take their leave.

Luotuo drained the tea in his cup and looked at Si Yanlong with a smile: "A Long, don't think so much. Whether the shipment volume in Hong Kong is high or not doesn't have much impact on us. If the shipment is low, the price is high, right?"

"A Qiang, come visit my house when you have time. A Long, I'll be going now."

As he spoke, Luotuo stood up.

Xiashanhu Wuya and Xiaomianhu Wu Zhiwei, seeing Luotuo take his leave, also stood up one after another.

As long as it is a market economy, it is influenced by supply and demand.

Si Zai Eastern Star, fighter Hong Hing.

As the Dragon Head of Eastern Star, Luotuo naturally knows that the Laundry Powder market in Hong Kong is shrinking, but the price has also become more expensive.

As for how much Kunsha ships, what does that have to do with him?

Whether Kunsha ships one hundred tons a year or one thousand tons a year, does it affect Luotuo's ability to make money?

"Boss."

Xiashanhu Wuya opened the car door.

"Let's go back."

Luotuo sat into the back seat, and Wuya started the car and slowly drove out of the villa.

However, Wuya kept looking at the Baoyun Road villa in the rearview mirror; when he turned his head, he saw Wu Zhiwei, and both of their faces revealed smiles, their eyes flickering.

They naturally saw their boss's attitude.

But in the Jianghu, one must fight for their own position!

Remember! Only by striving will you win!

After everyone left the Baoyun Road villa.

"It's been ten years since I returned to Hong Kong; I didn't expect it to have changed so much. These Jianghu tough guys have all become cowards!"

As soon as the words fell.

A man with a slicked-back hairstyle and the aura of a big boss, accompanied by several tall and sturdy men and a refined young man in a suit, walked into the living room.

"Tianyang, the times have changed. Sometimes when I see those young people, I feel like I'm already old."

"After listening from the back just now, how do you feel?"

Si Yanlong picked up his teacup and looked at the person who had arrived.

"I don't feel much. If they are willing to join in, then I will share a piece of the pie with them later."

"If they don't join, you and I will join forces. As long as we take care of Jing Jun, I will give you half of the Wanchai territory, and I will also give you half of the Gambling Hall."

The middle-aged man sat opposite Si Yanlong, his face showing no signs of discouragement.

"We must seize the time; to win over the Majai below, Jing Jun is giving every low-level underling fifteen hundred."

"Sun Yee On can only be surnamed Hui, and Hung Hing naturally can only be surnamed Jiang."

"Since Kunsha supports you, then we in Sun Yee On will also support you in taking back the position of Dragon Head of Hung Hing!"

Si Yanlong took out a new teacup and filled it with tea.

"After my father died back then, he established the position of dual Dragon Heads; although my Big Brother is full of schemes, he ultimately lacks something to be a Dragon Head."

"If A Yao hadn't gone to Siam to find me, I wouldn't have known such a big thing had happened in Hong Kong."

"Bastard!"

"Good riddance!"

"If those in the underworld can't beat others, can they sit securely in their positions just by using their brains?"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

It turned out this middle-aged man was surnamed Jiang, named Tianyang!

And that refined middle-aged man was naturally the White Paper Fan of Hung Hing, Chen Yao!

……

The following afternoon.

Xianke Petroleum Company.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Mr. Chen, happy cooperation!"

While Jiang Tianyang wanted to retake Hung Hing, Chen Jiajun used the shipyard land on Tsing Yi to exchange for the large oil depot plot of Xianke Petroleum Company in Chaguoling, as well as the Xianke oil depot in Yalizhou.

This was the result of both sides moving toward each other.

As the population of Hong Kong Island grew, Hong Kong's demand for petroleum became higher and higher, and Xianke Petroleum Company also wanted to expand the area of its oil depots.

The shipyard land on Tsing Yi was very much in line with the requirements of Xianke Petroleum Company, so they readily took two plots of land with roughly equal value as an exchange.

With this, Chen Jiajun held 2.1 million square feet of Whampoa Dockyard, 1.1 million square feet of Junyicang Warehouse, Yalizhou, Xiangjiangzai Shipyard, the land behind Kwai Chung Container Terminal... a land reserve of nearly 5 million square feet!

Returning to Repulse Bay Manor, Chen Jiajun took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and drove a Porsche 911 to Central Lan Kwai Fong.

Many people might think the Porsche's class is low, but in reality, his 911 is the flagship model of this era.

Limited to twenty units worldwide, in the 1980s when the average wage was only 1500, the overseas price of this car was 550,000 US dollars.

At present, it is one of the most expensive flagship sports cars in the world.

In the future, instead of depreciating, it will appreciate to four or five million US dollars.

It is priceless and unmarketable, because collectors will not easily sell it.

In front of this supercar, don't even mention Lamborghini; even as a supercar brand, whether it is the Reventón or the Veneno, the actual transaction price is not as expensive as this car.

This is the charm of the classic Porsche 911!

This car is left-hand drive, although left-hand drive cars cannot be driven on the road in Hong Kong.

But among the wealthy, rules are meant to be trampled upon.

Hong Kong has a type of blue T-plate; this license plate is not for civilian use and is not issued for private use. Only a very small number of car dealerships can process it, and after processing, it can be driven on the road.
