Chapter 70: The Sick Cats of Causeway Bay

About five minutes later, Chen Nanlu walked into the office with a look of joy on his face and said, "Our Chen Dong has spoken; he is willing to make you a friend. From now on, the few streets we have in Causeway Bay will be managed by your people. Who you assign to manage them is up to you, and we will not interfere. However, you are not allowed to act recklessly; otherwise, the group will revoke the jurisdiction."

"Of course!" As he said this, Chen Jiajun reached out his hand to Chen Nanlu: "Haodajai, why don't you thank Director Chen for his support."

"Director Chen, thank you for your care!" Haodajai gripped Chen Nanlu's right hand with both of his.

"Support is not the word for it. Haodajai, your Big Brother is someone with a future; follow your Big Brother and work hard in the future!" As Chen Nanlu spoke, he patted Haodajai on the shoulder.

Just like that, without drawing a blade, Chen Jiajun took down Paterson Street, Great Hong, Kingston Street, Cleveland Street, and Great George Street in Causeway Bay.

Jiang Tiansheng naturally believed that with his support, Chen Haonan would absolutely not be inferior to Haodajai.

But he certainly could not have imagined that Chen Jiajun's ways of making money were endless and would leave him shocked!

After sending Chen Nanlu away, Haodajai could not help but feel a bit uneasy: "Brother Jun, I really don't know how to do this. How does one open a property management company?"

Chen Jiajun asked: "How many people do you have under you right now?"

Haodajai replied: "Twenty people who are actually useful."

Chen Jiajun asked: "Do you know how to collect protection fees?"

Haodajai replied: "Yes."

Chen Jiajun asked: "Do you know how to drive?"

Haodajai replied: "Yes."

Chen Jiajun nodded and said: "Knowing how to collect protection fees and drive is enough. Tomorrow, issue a set of security uniforms to each of the twenty people I gave you. From now on, their main job is to maintain order on these few streets."

Customers cannot park indiscriminately; if they want to park, they can only park in our parking lots, just like valet boys.

Additionally, hire a dozen or so elderly men and women to sweep these streets twice a day, morning and evening. This is the work of a property management company."

"Of course, you also have to go to the shops to collect property fees. You have to know that you are now backed by the Heng Lung Group; you are the regular army, so be righteous and self-confident."

The next day.

Chen Jiajun took Haodajai and Chen Nanlu to the Hang Lung Center to sign the relevant contracts, and immediately afterward, senior executives from the Heng Lung Group took Chen Jiajun and his men to meet the main tenants on these streets.

Facing dozens of "dark evil forces" who were on average 1.9 meters tall, each with a fierce expression, looking like they were capable of anything except good deeds, the tenants of these shops were all smiles.

And Haodajai's work also unfolded smoothly.

That day, 1.08 million in property fees were collected, along with over a hundred thousand in other fees, including parking fees, tips, and so on.

For this territory, the biggest income was not the property fees, but the parking fees and tips. Because of the high foot traffic, 50,000 in parking fees and tips could be collected every day.

You have to know, the monthly turnover of many Hongxing branches is only two or three million!

And the property company alone could rely on this territory to earn at least 2 million per month. The only expenses to pay out were the wages of those dozen or so elderly men and women; the rest was pure profit!

And there was absolutely no need to worry about the problems of "sun-drying horses" or fighting with blades.

Want to come and grab the territory?

Ask the Heng Lung Group first!

Even if the Heng Lung Group agreed, you would still have to ask Chen Jiajun first!

While Haodajai was making money hand over fist here, Chen Haonan brought Shanjie, Datian Er, and Baopi to Jiang Tiansheng's villa.

The sick cats of Causeway Bay now knew the depth of the underworld. Upon seeing the Hongxing Dragon Head, each of them acted very obediently and was extremely reserved, rising one after another to bow:

"Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Tiansheng smoked a cigar and said with a smile: "No need to be so reserved, everyone sit."

The sick cats of Causeway Bay sat down one after another. Jiang Tiansheng sighed and said: "Anan, later A Yao will bring some influential friends to the Glorious Nightclub to support you, and they will come every day from now on. A Yao will have a specialist instruct you on how to do the accounts; when the time comes, turn in a bit more, and if it's not enough, I will cover it for you."

Jiang Tiansheng's method was very simple: find shills to prop up the scene.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Jiang!" Chen Haonan nodded gratefully.

Jiang Tiansheng continued: "Causeway Bay is your Big Brother's life's work, and I don't want to see it fall into the hands of others..."

Just at this moment, Chen Yao ran in in a panic, gasping for breath: "Mr. Jiang, the Heng Lung Group has handed over Paterson Street, Great Hong, Kingston Street, Cleveland Street, and Great George Street—these five streets—to Haodajai to manage! It was Liangzai Jun who helped Haodajai take them down!"

"What!"

Jiang Tiansheng was given a huge fright. Of all of Causeway Bay, these five streets were the most bustling and had the highest foot traffic!

Were the big names in Hong Kong not envious of these few streets?

They really weren't!

Because the property rights of these streets were very concentrated; they belonged to the big Hong Kong conglomerate, the Heng Lung Group.

Big conglomerates like the Heng Lung Group were the ones these big names dared not provoke.

The gangsters all knew very clearly who could be provoked in Hong Kong and who could not.

These wealthy tycoons all held the title of Justice of the Peace, and some were even knighted by the Queen of England!

In this situation, unless one was a complete fool, who would dare to go to these territories to collect protection fees?

Jiang Tiansheng knew the value of these five streets very well. He frowned and asked: "What is going on?"

Chen Haonan and the other sick cats of Causeway Bay also felt a thud in their hearts.

Chen Yao explained, gasping for air: "Many of Liangzai Jun's subordinates are working on the Heng Lung Group's construction sites. Perhaps Liangzai Jun made the Heng Lung Group happy, so the Heng Lung Group gave them these five streets to manage."

"Damn it!"

Jiang Tiansheng cursed fiercely. With a big group backing such a territory, making money couldn't be more comfortable; it was practically making money while lying down.

In this way, no matter how many shills Jiang Tiansheng arranged, it would be impossible for Chen Haonan to reach Haodajai's level.

Unless he really spent a fortune and paid out of his own pocket to smash a Zha FIT Ren position for Chen Haonan, but that would be too fake and too deliberate.

Hearing this, the sick cats of Causeway Bay all clenched their fists, with Chen Haonan's expression being the gloomiest.

Jiang Tiansheng's chest heaved up and down; his heart was in chaos, and for a moment, he lost his composure.

After a long while, Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand: "You all go back first. Manage the venue well these few days, and let me think carefully about how to handle this!"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

Leaving Jiang Tiansheng's villa and driving back to Causeway Bay, Shanjie gritted his teeth and said, "Nan Ge, why don't we just take out Hao Da Zai!"

"Do you have any idea what you're saying! Have you forgotten what happened to B Ge?" Chen Haonan roared.

Shanjie roared back, "Then what should we do? Are we really just going to hand over the Causeway Bay territory on a silver platter? If you can't move up, none of us can move up! We'll be underlings for life! We'll be street thugs for life!"

"Damn it!" Chen Haonan slammed his fist against the steering wheel, slammed on the brakes, pulled the car over to the side of the road, and shouted, "Then you tell me what to do!"

"You're asking me? How would I know! You're the one who's the Big Brother!" Shanjie pointed at Chen Haonan, his emotions running high, saliva flying: "If you can't move up, the three of us are going to be eating shit following you for the rest of our lives! Do you understand!"

After saying this, Shanjie got out of the car and slammed the door shut with a "bang."

Baopi and Datian Er got out of the car and hurried forward to console him, while Chen Haonan sat in the car without saying a word.

The sick cats of Causeway Bay only felt that their future was filled with uncertainty.
