Chapter 297: 291 The Five-Star Group has arrived, and the Yau Tsim Mong District is starting to become filled with positive energy

~17 min read 3,202 words

A lackey counted on his fingers.

"Doing one good deed gets you 20 HKD, so if you do 100, wouldn't that be 20,000 HKD?!"

"Hahaha~~ I'm rich~~"

It felt simply amazing!

As it turned out, he hadn't even finished laughing before Ah Ting kicked him in the backside.

Ah Ting scolded him angrily: "Damn it, I told you to study more, but you went to raise pigs instead. 20 times 100 is 2,000, not 20,000!"

The lackey felt aggrieved: "If I had studied hard, I wouldn't have ended up as a gangster~~"

Boom~~~

He was kicked by Ah Ting again.

"You've still got the nerve to talk back!"

"Right, let me tell you all!"

Ah Ting suppressed his laughter and said seriously:

"Brother Zu said that once you become an employee of the Five-Star Group, everyone must study. We will issue textbooks to you. If you pass the exams, you get a raise; if you fail, your pay gets cut!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the lackeys all knelt down.

"No way, I'm already a gangster, and I still have to study?"

"Can we not study?"

"Wuu wuu~~~"

Ah Ting: "If you don't agree, you can quit."

Because the ghosts (foreigners) were about to withdraw from Hong Kong.

Once they thought about 20 HKD per good deed, forget it, forget it. What was a little bit of studying compared to that?

……

Soon,

Ah Ting's lackeys began to do good deeds everywhere.

The first to suffer... no, the first to be helped was an old granny crossing the street.

Two yellow-haired, tattooed lackeys stood on a street in Yau Ma Tei.

They saw an old man, probably over 70, preparing to cross the street 20 meters away.

One yellow-haired, tattooed lackey, in order to snatch the 20-dollar reward, biu~~ flew over and held onto the old man.

Partner: "???"

Damn!

He was actually faster than me!

The yellow-haired, tattooed lackey held the old man and said politely: "Old man, watch your step. Let me help you cross the street."

Old man: "???"

"Young man, are you trying to blackmail me? Let me tell you, I have no money. I'm so poor that even my underwear has holes in it!"

The yellow-haired, tattooed lackey: "No, no, no~~~ I'm from the Five-Star Property Company. Don't look at my yellow hair and tattoos; I'm actually a good person."

Old man: "Young man, if I hadn't seen you collecting protection money with such a fierce look last time, I might have believed you."

The yellow-haired, tattooed lackey felt extremely wronged: "Old man, you've misunderstood. I've already turned over a new leaf and corrected my past mistakes. I'm not a gangster anymore; I'm a legitimate company employee. I've joined the Five-Star Group, and the boss is the great Hong Kong philanthropist, Mr. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, so you're Mr. Guan's employee. You scared the life out of me!"

After helping him across the street, the yellow-haired, tattooed lackey was overjoyed.

20 HKD, in the bag!

This scene appeared in every corner of Yau Tsim Mong.

These lackeys of Ah Ting were full of enthusiasm, striking out everywhere. In the streets and alleys of Yau Tsim Mong, all sorts of good deeds appeared. Although they had yellow hair and dragon tattoos, and some still looked fierce, they were very enthusiastic about helping old ladies cross the street, helping old people carry groceries, and helping them move things.

Because the area was too large and there were too few lackeys, and there were so many people to help, they were farming money like crazy.

And this scene,

also attracted the attention of some triads.

For example—Ah Ze, a subordinate of Ah Le from Jordan, was eating ginger milk curd with a few lackeys.

What is ginger milk curd? It's when squeezed ginger juice is poured into a bowl, and then water buffalo milk with high protein content (you can add white sugar for taste) is poured into a pot and boiled to 75°C, stirred with sugar until even, and then poured into the bowl while hot and left to sit.

After the milk cools, it automatically solidifies into a jelly-like ginger milk curd.

Ah Ze was from Foshan and loved this ginger milk curd very much.

And the lackeys liked double-skin milk.

Some liked mango sago.

"Boss, look... isn't that Gou Zai Xiang, a subordinate of Heng Ji's Wei Ting?"

"Hey, it really is..."

"What are they doing? Helping an old granny cross the street?"

Everyone looked puzzled at Ah Xiang, a subordinate of Ah Ting whom they recognized, helping an old granny carry things outside.

"Have the people from Heng Ji gone crazy?"

"Not being gangsters anymore? Changed to being good people?"

Just as a group of people were discussing and mocking,

Ah Xiang finished helping the old granny and walked into the dessert shop happily.

"Boss, give me a double portion of double-skin milk!"

Yeah, made money!

Ah Xiang's lackeys also shouted one after another: "Boss, I want a double portion of ginger milk curd/rock sugar white fungus and pear soup/kelp mung bean soup..."

"Double portion!" *n!

That boldness made the He Lian Sheng lackeys look sideways.

"Wow, have you guys gone mad?"

"Everyone getting double portions?"

Ah Xiang's lackey chuckled: "It's fine, we just have money today. Drink one bowl, pour out one bowl!"

"Now, we're following Brother Zu! Doing good deeds can earn rewards... 20 HKD per good deed."

"Ah?!"

Ah Ze and a few He Lian Sheng lackeys were directly stunned.

Doing good deeds can also earn money?

And 20 dollars for one?

Wouldn't that mean you could get a meal's worth of money just by casually helping an old granny?

Could earn hundreds a day? Could earn 10,000 a month?

At this moment,

Ah Ze and the lackeys were collectively silent.

The clown turned out to be ourselves!

Then they all became jealous.

Damn it, we're poor as hell; we can do these kinds of good deeds too!

Soon, with their red eyes, Five-Star Property's Ah Xiang and the lackeys each ate double portions of dessert, and after finishing one bowl, there was another.

In the envious gazes, they felt amazing.

Praise Brother Zu!

Loyalty!

……

……

Next,

Ah Ting led Five-Star Property and began to expand rapidly, increasing the number of lackeys to 500.

Then they carried out the first task in the area: Street sweeping!

Ah Ting began to gather manpower, and the task was arranged:

"Today, our task for these three days is street sweeping!"

As soon as Ah Ting's words came out,

A group of lackeys began to look surprised.

"Street sweeping?"

"Sweeping where? He Lian Sheng? Or He He Tu? Or Xin Ji?"

Black lines hung down from Ah Ting's forehead, and he scolded:

"Remember, we are good people now, don't be fighting and killing all day!"

"The street sweeping I'm talking about is street cleaning!"

The lackeys: "............"

Soon, Ah Ting began to assign tasks. A group of people was responsible for one street, and everyone began to take money and go to clean the streets, posting notices like "No spitting, no littering, fine 50".

And the news somehow spread outside,

"Not good, Five-Star Property is going to sweep the streets!"

Xin Ji's Jiang Sheng stood up abruptly: "What? Street sweeping?"

He He Tu's Brother Sha Pi's expression changed: "Street sweeping?!"

Ah Le's lackey Ah Ze, and Huo Niu's lackey, after hearing this, all changed their expressions.

They hurriedly gathered their men, ready to respond.

If Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu really wanted to sweep them, they weren't pushovers either!

Then...

They saw Five-Star Property leading their men, hiring water trucks, cleaning ladies, and all sorts of people, cleaning up small alleys, removing those dirty things, replacing new trash cans, and posting slogans.

They: "............"

No, when others sweep the streets, it means fighting; when you sweep the streets, it's really sweeping the streets!

Yao Wen: "..."

On Jiang Sheng's side,

A Five-Star lackey handed a flyer to Jiang Sheng: "Uncle Sheng, it's been agreed with the lackeys from now on that you cannot spit or litter anywhere, otherwise you will be fined."

Jiang Sheng looked at the flyer: "............"

Looking at the "Building a beautiful home", "Clean home, you and I have responsibility", "Fine 50"...

This is too positive, right?

He and his lackeys felt a bit out of place at this moment.

Other triads, such as Brother Sha Pi, Kong Long, Huo Niu's lackey, and Ah Le's lackey, all received these flyers.

They were directly silenced.

……

In the next nearly a week, Five-Star Property was making big moves: sewer clearing, helping the elderly, helping orphans, building public toilets, building community activity centers...

It was done with great momentum.

Yau Ma Tei became much livelier.

On the other side, Five-Star Charity also began to act, starting to record some people in difficulty in the Yau Tsim Mong area.

Drug addicts? Drag them away to quit. Gambling addicts? Send them directly to the gambling den established by Gao Jin and Chen Daozai, borrow 100,000 first, then lose it all, and then Five-Star Property could go over every week to collect the debt.

If that really didn't work, issue a Jianghu kill order to see which gambling den dared not give face.

Families in difficulty? Give charity money directly, a fixed monthly amount until the situation improves; or provide work, teaching them how to fish.

Lazy ones? Use methods directly.

After a week of action,

In the Yau Tsim Mong area, public security visibly improved, and incidents of gangsters taking knives to the streets gradually decreased.

The patrols and traffic police of the Yau Tsim District Branch and Mong Kok Branch clearly felt the difference.

"This Five-Star Group really has a way."

"Yeah, I feel like my street patrols have become much easier."

"They've handled a lot of things."

So many neighbors, police officers, and gangsters:

!.

"Damn!"

"The Five-Star Group has arrived, and Yau Tsim Mong is starting to become filled with positive energy..."

……

And at this time,

On the side of the Five-Star Group building,

In Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's office,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's system began to show prompts.

"Your Five-Star Group is flourishing in the Yau Tsim Mong area and is widely praised by citizens..."

"You have received the following rewards:"

"Reward 1: Yau Tsim Mong area support rate +2% (Total 19%)!"

"Reward 2: West Kowloon support rate +1% (Total 17%)!"

"Reward 3: 'Assassination Early Warning Card' *1"

"Reward 4: '(World) Top Corporate Management Talent Talent Card' *1! '(Hong Kong) Top Corporate Management Talent Talent Card' *2"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was happy,

The "Talent Card" he had always wanted had appeared.

Without saying a word, he directly used a "World-Class Talent Card" on himself. Recently, as the Five-Star Group grew larger and larger, he felt the strain.

He had originally wanted to lie flat and let his group of lackeys work overtime for him.

But once he couldn't handle it, he had to force himself to start working like a beast of burden.

Now the Five-Star Group had started to go full throttle and continue to grow. If he couldn't keep up, he would be finished.

Therefore, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu himself could only roll up his sleeves.

He didn't expect that he would have a day where he would become a beast of burden too!

Laughing and crying~~

As for the remaining two cards, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu prioritized giving them to Ah Hua and Gao Jin. They had been with him the longest and had made the greatest contributions. He didn't want them to fall behind; they at least had to be core second-in-commands.

"Knock knock knock~~~"

Just at this time, Ah Ting knocked on the door and walked in.

"Brother Zu!"

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Zu, I have an idea..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Ah Ting and felt that his eyes were full of a desire for progress.

Thinking of the original plot where Ah Ting always wanted to open a real estate company and go public, he immediately smiled.

He liked ambitious subordinates!

Currently, the Five-Star Group's "accumulate grain and slowly claim the throne" stage had basically reached the mid-to-late phase, and it was time to start touching some projects that could make more money.

For example, real estate!

And his subordinates were all too busy, so Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu hadn't made a move.

Now, the timing seemed ripe.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "Go ahead."

Ah Ting took out a document: "Brother Zu, this is a real estate development project plan I made."

"We have a broad mass base, prestige, and credibility, and at the same time, in terms of Jianghu triads, we are fearless!"

"I think we can consider developing real estate!"

"We have money, we can buy land, build buildings..."

"We have strength, we aren't afraid of other people in the Jianghu making trouble..."

"We have a mass base; as long as the houses are built well, we aren't afraid that no one will buy them..."

As he spoke, Ah Ting's emotions began to get excited.

The Five-Star Group was naturally suited for real estate development!

Real estate was the most profitable business in all of Hong Kong, bar none!

The four great families all relied on real estate to quickly become the four great families!

He respectfully placed the project plan on Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's desk.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu didn't pick up the plan to look at it immediately, but smiled at Ah Ting.

"This week, I am very satisfied with your performance at the Five-Star Property Company."

Ah Ting was stunned: "Thank you, Brother Zu."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu let Ah Ting's emotions calm down a little.

"Actually, we have been researching real estate projects for half a year..."

"Everyone is clear about the advantages you mentioned."

"But we have never been able to find the time; everyone has their own things to be busy with."

"You just joined the Five-Star Group, and you have this idea and this kind of drive; it's very good!"

"I will take your proposal to the group's senior management meeting for discussion."

Ah Ting was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded: "Of course it's true. I have already started considering this matter during this period... Since you have proposed it, let's hold a meeting to discuss it."

"If it passes, a Five-Star Real Estate Company will be established specifically for real estate development."

"Let's just hold a senior management meeting tomorrow afternoon."

"You go prepare the materials, and you will report... If your performance is recognized by the senior management, I can give you a vice president position, which is to say, I'll give you the second-in-command spot."

Real estate (Five-Star Real Estate) might be the Five-Star Group's largest asset in the future; Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu couldn't possibly give the greatest power to Ah Ting.

At that time, it would definitely be the Five-Star Group holding the shares, being the majority shareholder, while Ah Ting would become the executor, enjoying a small percentage of shares.

Ah Ting bowed excitedly: "Yes, I will definitely handle it well!"

Then he left excitedly.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu watched him leave, then made a phone call to Fang Ting, asking her to notify all senior management to come home for dinner tonight.

A family banquet!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu made a phone call to Ruan Mei, asking Ruan Mei to call the sister group to prepare dinner together tonight.

……

The next afternoon,

The Five-Star Group senior management meeting was officially held.

Ah Hua, Gao Jin, Chen Yongren, Su Jianqiu, Gao Qiu, and Tan Meili, these 6 all came. They were the main persons in charge of the various "subsidiaries" in the Five-Star Group currently.

Plus Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, they counted as the Five-Star Group—the 7 giants!

Wu Ying: "............"

Damn it, I'm actually not included!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Alright, let's start the meeting... This is Ah Ting, who recently joined the Five-Star Group. He graduated from university, used to be a gangster, is very good at management, and has now turned over a new leaf. He counts as a pretty good talent."

Ah Ting was excited inside, knowing that today was a precious opportunity for him to soar into the sky.

"Good afternoon, leaders!"

"What I want to report today is the project plan for the Five-Star Group to enter the Hong Kong real estate development field. Hong Kong in 1991 is at the peak of economic prosperity..."

For more than an hour,

It could be seen that Ah Ting had investigated for a long time for this real estate development matter, and the information was detailed.

Although there were some flaws, for example, Ah Ting was full of confidence in Hong Kong's real estate, believing that it could continue to be hot until the beginning of the 21st century. But Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu knew that after 1997, the real estate market crashed once, and it only slowly recovered later.

However, in the short term, this real estate matter was definitely going to be extremely profitable.

Because the foreigners are about to withdraw from Hong Kong Island.

Before withdrawing, they naturally wanted to take more money away, so the higher the real estate prices, the more money they made.

In the 1980s, the two countries made an agreement that there was a quota for the area of land sold, so in order to sell more money, Britain tried hard to push up housing prices, even if it was a bubble, they didn't care, and were even happier.

Especially next year, when the biggest troublemaker, Governor Fei Peng, took office, the real estate market would become even more out of control.

Soon,

Ah Ting finished his report, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the others discussed it, and finally recognized Ah Ting's plan and were willing to give Ah Ting a chance.

Finally, it was determined to establish "Five-Star Real Estate Company", with Ah Hua as General Manager and Ah Ting as Deputy General Manager.

"Thank you for the trust and support of all the leaders..."

Ah Ting's eyes were red with excitement!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Do you have any ideas for the company's future plans?"

Ah Ting reported: "Yes, I have checked, the government has announced a new land auction in the Sha Tin District of the New Territories South... According to the information disclosed by the government, the auction price will be over 900 million."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "900 million is no problem... Then this matter will be your responsibility!"

Ah Ting was excited and pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Brother Zu! I will definitely handle it well!"

Thank you for your support, Brother Zu!

Daily loyalty, praise Brother Zu!
