Chapter 110: Jing Kun: If You're Going to Do It, Do It Thoroughly! (Happy New Year)

~12 min read 2,272 words

《Happy New Year, wishing all book friends good health and that all your wishes come true. 》

Regarding Tangge, Wu Feng now treats him just like an ordinary relative.

Whatever he does, whether it is dangerous, or if he might encounter other situations, Wu Feng will not pay any attention; he is purely a passerby character.

Isn't there a popular saying on the internet in later generations about not easily interfering with or participating in the karma of others?

Wu Feng now upholds this very idea, firmly refusing to be a nanny or a saint!

Unless Tangge's family encounters a life-or-death crisis, he will only pull them up as a relative, and then send them somewhere abroad where he doesn't have to see them and worry.

Yet, he didn't expect that after parting ways, Tangge actually learned to be shrewd.

He has been imitating Wu Feng's actions in private; Wu Feng is aware of all this, but hasn't taken it to heart.

Like ordering Premium A-Grade Goods from the garment factory under Wu Feng, and following up on the Pork Trotter Rice business by ordering cheap pork scraps—he just turns a blind eye to all of this as if he didn't see it.

He even learned from Wu Feng to let his Underlings become official waiters at nightclubs, along with other methods to strengthen the cohesion of his Underlings, making Tangge's forces increasingly stable and quite formidable within Dongxing.

Unexpectedly, this time Ben Shu of Dongxing is making a comeback, even inviting Jinmao Hu Shamu, one of the Dongxing Five Tigers, wanting to use Tangge's power to break into Portland Street and occupy a place.

As it turns out, Tangge actually didn't agree to go out in person, but instead acted as a logistics support role.

According to Jing Kun, Tangge does not oppose his fighters going to Portland Street to make a name for themselves, but he himself hasn't made a single move, and the excuse he found was even very perfunctory: guarding against the United Red Pole of Xintian Street causing trouble!

Who in the Mong Kok underworld doesn't know that the United Red Pole of Xintian Street is already struggling to hold onto their current territory, so where would they have the guts to provoke the Dongxing Mong Kok Hall Master?

That is why Wu Feng said that Tangge has grown; at the very least, he won't be easily fooled anymore.

Ben Shu of Dongxing is still using the old routine, first setting up an underground boxing ring in Portland Street!

Afterwards, he uses the underground boxing ring to make money while gathering enough fierce fighters, and incidentally gets Dongxing's main business up and running.

With the support of Jinmao Hu Shamu, the various triad forces in Portland Street really don't dare to act rashly.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree!

The reputation of the Dongxing Five Tigers wasn't blown out of proportion, but fought for with sufficiently dazzling battle records.

Shamu is the weakest in terms of personal combat power among the Dongxing Five Tigers, aside from Xiaomian Hu, but he still counts as a truly fierce figure in the underworld.

He is about on the same level as Dalao B of Hong Xing, and in the movie, he was even finished off by an underage Chen Haonan; one can only say his personal combat power is indeed somewhat lacking.

But he still has over five hundred fighters under his command, and can call out two thousand people to show off his strength at any time!

According to Jing Kun's introduction, Ben Shu's setup has already been laid out at this time.

This old guy probably couldn't stay in the Dongxing lair anymore, which is why he couldn't wait to run out and stir up trouble again.

The Dongxing Dragon Head Luotuo is not as weak as he appeared in the movie.

One can only say he is an underworld Big Brother with a rather old-school style of doing things, but he is not lacking in ruthlessness at all; otherwise, how could he suppress the Five Tigers and over a dozen Hall Masters?

In the Yuen Long lair, having one Big Brother whose words carry weight is enough; any more would not be good.

Not to mention, Luotuo often has to run to the Netherlands, and Yuen Long was left to Guhulun, the Second-Route Marshal, to manage; a Big Brother like Ben Shu staying there is indeed an eyesore.

Jing Kun and Wu Feng were in a luxury private room at the Dahuanggong Nightclub, brazenly discussing such a major underworld event as Ben Shu of Dongxing making a comeback, which gave the several hostesses quite a fright.

Is this the kind of thing they are meant to hear?

Are they worried that if they leak the news, they will be silenced later?

After all, they are top-tier hostesses at the Dahuanggong Nightclub; they have heard of and come into contact with quite a few underworld affairs and underworld Big Brothers, so it is understandable that they would subconsciously let their imaginations run wild.

And so, as they accompanied them, their originally exquisite and beautiful faces turned deathly pale one by one, and the small hands holding the red wine glasses trembled slightly, as if those tiny glasses weighed a thousand pounds.

Wu Feng immediately noticed something was wrong, swept a glance, and quickly reacted, laughing: "Brother Kun, look at how you've scared them; those who don't know might think you're about to do something heinous!"

"You lot, just stay here honestly!"

Jing Kun looked displeased and shooed the trembling hostesses to the side before continuing to discuss with Wu Feng the matter concerning Ben Shu of Dongxing.

That's right, he is not happy about Ben Shu successfully planting his flag in Portland Street!

Portland Street is already chaotic enough; if Ben Shu of Dongxing sticks his hand in, it will be even more chaotic.

The key is, Hong Xing does not sell pills!

But Hong Xing's venues are quite booming, which inevitably invites the covetousness of Ben Shu of Dongxing.

This is a very normal thing; the other first-rate triads based in Portland Street all have Hall Master-level Big Brothers who sell pills, so their own territory is naturally digested internally by their own people and won't give Ben Shu of Dongxing a chance.

In the movie "Thirteen Sisters of Hong Xing", Ben Shu of Dongxing had the intention of playing dirty tricks against Hong Xing.

If it weren't for Thirteen Sisters emerging out of nowhere, I'm afraid Hong Xing's territory in Portland Street would have had trouble!

At that time, the Jing Kun in the movie should have already started selling pills and didn't have much defense against Ben Shu of Dongxing targeting Hong Xing's territory in Portland Street, or rather, he intentionally let it slide.

I reckon he wanted to dig a hole for the Dragon Head Jiang Tiansheng, but it just didn't succeed.

But the situation is different now; Jing Kun likely won't sell pills.

The movies of Qiankun Film and Television Company are very popular, and Jing Kun's social status has risen quite a bit along with them.

Many so-called celebrity gatherings he wasn't qualified to attend in the past, he is now qualified for.

Once one has tasted the feeling of being recognized by mainstream society, Jing Kun could not easily give it up.

One must know that Hong Xing Dragon Head Jiang Tiansheng has always craved such an opportunity.

Now that Jing Kun has achieved it a step ahead, it couldn't be more satisfying.

In reality, having gained the recognition of mainstream society, many legitimate businesses will slowly open up to him.

Therefore, the rise in social status brings not only nominal benefits, but in reality, many benefits as well; Jing Kun has only just begun.

Only someone with water in their brain would give up a bright future to sell pills at great risk.

To put it bluntly, the profit from selling pills is not necessarily more than what he makes from filming movies.

For one movie, from production to screening, even with perfectionism, it takes at most three months; this is the speed of Hong Kong.

As long as it is at the standard of "Guyai Zai", it is easy to take in about 15 million in box office revenue.

And under Wu Feng's guidance, he opened up the European film distribution channels, plus the videotapes in the United States, and even potential copyright earnings, easily bringing in 10 to 20 million Hong Kong Dollars.

Plus the copyright earnings from Taiwan and Southeast Asia, as well as considerable videotape profits, and some miscellaneous income, the total might exceed 30 million!

As for the production-to-profit cycle of a film, it can all be settled in about half a year.

Added to the various dividend incomes from the Mong Kok territory, there is a very high probability of earning sixty or seventy million in a year.

More than half of that is clean money; only a fool would give up such a great situation to take huge risks.

With the situation as it is, Jing Kun naturally would not easily relax his control over Mong Kok, especially the territory of Portland Street.

That is real money calculated in the millions!

The reason he called for Wu Feng was also for the sake of insurance.

It is not that he fears the Eastern Star's Jinmao Hu Shamu; with Jing Kun's current financial resources, how many Underlings could he not recruit?

Although Shamu is strong, his home base is not here in Mong Kok, so he can support Ben Shu for at most one wave of attacks.

It looks aggressive, but in fact, it lacks staying power.

If he can gain a foothold in Portland Street, that would be best; if he cannot, he will naturally retreat honestly.

What Jing Kun is truly worried about is Wu Feng's Tangge, the Eastern Star Mong Kok Hall Master, "Huopao Gang"!

Tracing it to the source, one can only say that Wu Feng is too much of a monster!

Although he does not pay much attention to society affairs, he has established practical rules.

As long as his Underlings act according to the rules, not only are there clear channels for advancement and disciplinary measures, but there are also many ways to make money, which not only makes his number of Underlings grow larger and larger, but the cohesion is also quite exaggerated.

How much time has passed? Just the combatant Underlings Wu Feng has in Shanghai Street, Garden Street, and Tongcai Street alone exceed 1,500 in number, and adding the Blue Lanterns, the number is even more astonishing.

And this is only because he is intentionally controlling it!

The Eastern Star's Jinmao Hu Shamu is nothing; compared to Wu Feng, he is a subordinate among subordinates.

Yet, Wu Feng's Tangge likes to learn and imitate this guy's style of doing things.

Although he hasn't learned some of the essence, even if he only learned thirty or forty percent, the number of his combatant Underlings and their centripetal force are not things to be trifled with.

It is said that just the combatants number seven or eight hundred, and adding the Blue Lanterns, he can easily gather two thousand men.

The key is that this guy is the local tiger of Mong Kok!

If it weren't for being suppressed by Wu Feng's power, once he attacked the Portland Street territory, it would be quite difficult for Jing Kun to handle, and if things went wrong, there would be big trouble.

Besides, the other party is Wu Feng's Tangge after all, so Jing Kun naturally attaches a bit more importance to him.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Wu Feng naturally understood Jing Kun's thoughts and said bluntly: "Still the same words, don't put me in a difficult position!"

"That goes without saying!"

Jing Kun laughed and said: "I've been waiting for these words from you, kid!"

Speaking of this, he sneered: "Doesn't that old guy Ben Shu want to set up an underground boxing ring?"

"Are the combatants under you fierce enough? Are there any particularly formidable ones?"

The subtext is that it would be best to let the Red Pole Zhang Yong take the field.

"Let's put it this way!"

Wu Feng said with a smile: "Just any one of the close-protection Underlings by my side would have no problem beating your Red Pole Sha Qiang!"

Hearing this, Jing Kun's cheeks twitched, and he rolled his eyes in anger.

Did he have to be so insulting?

But on the other hand, he was also incredibly shocked in his heart.

His Red Pole Sha Qiang is indeed not very good at fighting, but he can be considered a solid street-fighting expert.

Like the other Red Poles in the society, they have all gone to martial arts schools for advanced training.

He didn't expect that the close-protection combatants under Wu Feng would be so strong!

He did not doubt Wu Feng's judgment; if something really went wrong because of this, the one losing face would not be Jing Kun, but Wu Feng himself.

"Alright then, lend me some of your brothers who can fight!"

Jing Kun restrained his emotions and sneered: "I will send different combatants to the ring every day and see how long that old guy Ben Shu can hold out?"

"If possible, we might as well snatch the underground boxing ring that old thing Ben Shu set up; that would also be a good source of income!"
