Chapter 29: Isn't it normal for a paper fan to be able to fight?

Inside the meeting room of the Prosperity Society's main hall,

Everyone stared at Jingkun in disbelief, wondering if he was still that lunatic?

When did anyone become able to mess with his people and money?

This guy and the street‑bum Xin are the two biggest misers in Prosperity; who can get them to spend money?

Jingkun looked at everyone's expressions, raised a middle finger, rolled his eyes, and swore:

"How about it? Don't believe me? Damn, whoever can help me take the remaining five streets of Mong Kok, you'll get the same treatment!"

Dragon Head Jiang Tian Sheng hurriedly stopped the derailed topic.

Looking at the Crown Prince, he said:

"What's your reason?"

The Crown Prince spread his hands, openly admitting:

"I can't beat A Xin! I couldn't beat him over a year ago; we've been sparring privately, and he knows I want territory, so he went all out to help me take Tsim Sha Tsui."

"Besides, he doesn't care about that; his catchphrase is 'I eat brains,' so what's the use of being strong?"

At that moment, Boxing King Tai also laughed.

Laughing, he explained:

"This isn't just known by us two; our initiation elder Big Brother Gang also knows, and our Big Brother once scolded A Xin as a 'street bum'."

"Even though he's that strong, he doesn't want to stand out, just loafing around waiting to die, and A Xin keeps muttering to the Big Brother, 'Big Brother, even if you're strong, can you build a business?'"

So that's how it is,

Do you still remember how happy he was when the Dragon Head appointed him as a White Paper Fan officer?

"No need to doubt A Xin's ability."

Everyone in the meeting room was dumbfounded! Is this the April 15 White Paper Fan?

Dragon Head Jiang Tian Sheng laughed heartily.

He said openly:

"I've always known A Xin likes doing business; now I realize that when he followed Gang, he already had the idea."

"That's great; if everyone can do business and make money, we wouldn't have to think up crooked schemes all day."

Hmm, after saying that, he glanced at Jingkun.

Jingkun immediately shouted his grievance:

"Mr. Jiang, don't wrongly accuse me! I'm now the general manager of three companies, and I'll also learn from A Xin to build a conglomerate; stop judging people with outdated eyes."

Everyone in the meeting room felt they'd come to the wrong place—is this a gang meeting or a corporate meeting?

A Xin, Jingkun, and Dragon Head—these three seem to have some big problem, instead of letting their underlings seize territory, they keep urging everyone to start companies.

Especially Jingma—her gaze at Jiang Tian Sheng is off; that deadbeat jerk, if he had a good idea to benefit Jingkun the street bum, he wouldn't even tell me.

Obviously, she misunderstood Jiang Tian Sheng!

The more she thought, the more resentful her gaze made Jiang Tian Sheng's scalp tingle; now Jingma he really can't bring himself to scold.

The original Jingma and Che Wan Ying were truly charming! Hmm, or maybe it's the feeling of playing with a little mama!

Quickly drive those filthy thoughts out of his mind.

He quickly spoke up:

"Good, Jingkun, I can give you a clear answer: three years, give me three years to carry out the separation and isolation."

"By then I'll step down automatically, and I'll remain as a nominal leader of Prosperity; Dragon Head, every three years we'll hold an election—you choose whoever is capable to take the position."

"This time the plan of the Eastern Rising Harmony Alliance is simple: it's for the Ao Island casino; I've talked with Gambling King He Mr., and he'll give Prosperity a diamond casino."

"This diamond casino is the asset I'm leaving for Prosperity; even if Prosperity declines later, it will still have this diamond casino as capital for a comeback."

"There are also three casinos as prizes for this fireworks festival; we're a gang, so we naturally settle things with fists—thus any strong gang in Gangdao will take part in this fireworks festival."

"Although Prosperity doesn't want to fight over the casinos, if the six remaining generals of Li Zhengren dare to step on Prosperity's sign to boost their own fame, that's just a pipe dream."

"Prosperity disagrees, I, Jiang Tian Sheng, disagree—can you agree?"

The last sentence was shouted by Jiang Tian Sheng.

The meeting room was filled with shouts of disagreement.

Li Xin silently gave him a thumbs-up; Dragon Head is impressive!

He went ahead and set the retirement timeline, then generously left Prosperity a major source of wealth as a backup, finally provoking the Leaders' anger.

He had favorable timing, location, and people.

The Leaders can see that the Dragon Head's position and great wealth source will surely autonomously protect Prosperity's interests.

After the emotions of Dragon Head Jiang Tian Sheng and everyone else had calmed down.

Only then did he speak again:

"This time A Xin will represent Prosperity in the competition; if he places in the top three, the casino earnings will be his personally, with a monthly twenty percent contribution to the gang—do you have any objections?"

"Of course, your gang's elite fighters who feel confident can also compete; large gangs get three slots, medium gangs two, small gangs one."

"You decide yourselves."

After heated discussion,

Li Xin, Big Fly, Big Silly Elephant will represent Prosperity in the fight; whoever places in the top three gets the casino earnings personally.

All will contribute twenty percent to the gang; that's fair—without gang backing, none can hold onto their gains securely.

Li Xin remained silent.

Even without that casino he'd still pitch in; having benefited from the gang, he's willing to exert a little effort—let alone a diamond casino.

This represents him, Li Xin.

In the future there could be a steady cash flow; don't underestimate a diamond casino—it could bring in at least tens of millions annually.

……

That evening,

A guest arrived at the Tsuen Wan big D villa.

Big D exclaimed to that person:

「Uncle Deng, you're being foolish! At your age, you should just enjoy your retirement! 」

「Do you even know what you were just saying? Dragon head? I am now the Leader of Prosperity. 」

「Now everything in Tsuen Wan is up to me; business-wise, I can cooperate with whoever I want! How can Wo Lok Shing support me becoming the dragon head of Prosperity? 」

Uncle Deng stuck out his big belly, using his hand to prop a cane.

He said seductively:

「By yourself, can you become the dragon head in Prosperity? Wo Lok Shing can fully help you. 」

Big D was amused, and said angrily:

「Uncle Deng, if your brain isn't working, go get checked! You didn't hear a word of what I just said, right? 」

「I don't value the dragon head position; take your leave, I won't see you out. 」

After Uncle Deng left, Big D's wife walked over.

She said to Big D:

「What is this old ghost trying to do? Does he want you to be suspected by Prosperity? 」

Big D laughed indifferently:

「This old ghost is still living in the past! Still talking about dragon head—what's the point? We're just doing business! What era is this? Being dragon head isn't just for money? 」

「You can make money now; why bother with a thankless task? This fool! 」

Big D's wife thought for a moment, then said to Big D:

「Give A Xin a call, ask him how to handle this, so we don't cause a misunderstanding and trouble! 」

Big D thought it over, and indeed, A Xin definitely has experience—look how well he's doing in Prosperity; even the notorious tough guy Jing Kwan in the martial world speaks up for his underlings.

Big D must have misunderstood this; they're just unwilling to provoke him—it's not about having good connections!

Jing Kwan speaking for Tianhong is purely to give Tianhong face.

He, Li Xin, has no good reputation in Prosperity!
