Chapter 120: Guanzaisen: There's Money to be Made Imitating Feng Ge! (Please Subscribe)

"Brother Sen, aren't you a bit too busy?"

In the third-floor office of Youjian Mahjong Parlor, Wu Feng said with a look that was not quite a smile: "Busy enough that after settling the monthly accounts, you insist on running off to Macau to live it up for a while before you're willing to come back!"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think that place was your home!"

This guy's movements were hardly a secret, and compared to when they first met, he was becoming increasingly fond of blocking the way.

Every time the day for settling accounts with Wo Shing passed, this guy would lead his underlings off to Macau to live it up, and who knew where he got the cash?

When he returned, he would always be quiet for several days, presumably licking his wounded soul.

Damn it, among the guys who go to Macau to play, how many are actually able to come back having made money?

One can only say that this guy hasn't become as trashy as in the movies; he hasn't laid a hand on his underlings' pockets, likely because he has quite a few ways to make money.

"This..."

Guanzaisen was incredibly embarrassed, and finally, gritting his teeth and hardening his heart, he simply told the truth: "Feng Ge, stop teasing me. I'm actually a bit afraid of you, which is why I haven't dared to show my face!"

This was the truth; saying it out loud actually made him feel less anxious.

"The way you put that, it sounds like I've been bullying Brother Sen!"

Wu Feng was somewhat surprised by this guy's shamelessness and chuckled: "It seems like every time there's something good, I'm the one leading Brother Sen to get rich!"

"That's right, it's precisely because Feng Ge is so loyal that I feel the psychological pressure!"

Guanzaisen said righteously: "Facing a God of Wealth like you, shouldn't I be a bit careful and respectful!"

"If word of what you just said gets out, I'm afraid you won't be able to hang around Shanghai Street anymore!"

Wu Feng found it amusing and gestured for Guanzaisen to be more relaxed and not so restrained.

"Feng Ge, you don't understand. Even if I let these words out, at most my Big Brother will lecture me; here on Shanghai Street, there really isn't any problem!"

Guanzaisen climbed up the pole as soon as he saw the snake, saying directly: "It's only because Feng Ge is loyal and hasn't thought about sweeping Shanghai Street, otherwise how would I and that bunch of scum from Tung Sing have any way to survive?"

"I'm not that overbearing!"

Wu Feng said irritably: "Isn't the current situation quite good? With the forces of Wo Shing and Tung Sing mixed into Shanghai Street, other gangs wouldn't dare to act rashly even if they had ideas!"

"Besides, I don't rely on those gang businesses to eat, so what are you worrying about?"

"That's true, but seeing Feng Ge soaring into the sky, I feel even more pressure!"

Guanzaisen said gloomily: "Feng Ge is a Boss now..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I don't want to hear your nonsense!"

Wu Feng waved his hand to stop him and said irritably: "You know why I called you over, right?"

"I know, I know, I have an idea in my heart, I definitely won't cause trouble!"

Guanzaisen nodded hurriedly: "Hung Hing is going to plant their flag in Causeway Bay, so as a neighbor, the Mong Kok Branch naturally has to show some stance, and we won't let other gangs have the possibility of moving large numbers of men across the sea!"

"Don't worry Feng Ge, my Big Brother Long Gen doesn't have many ideas here, and he doesn't have the strength to toss about anyway!"

This was not a lie; with a Hung Hing Big Brother like Wu Feng sitting in Mong Kok's Shanghai Street, Long Gen wouldn't dare to harbor any improper thoughts—wouldn't that be courting death?

Besides, even if he did have thoughts, a lack of strength was a fatal flaw.

Guanzaisen, this Red Pole fighter, basically had no courage to fight in front of Wu Feng.

I'm afraid that even against Wu Feng's Red Pole Zhang Yong, Guanzaisen wouldn't have the courage to fight directly.

If one wants to grab territory, and a place as lucrative as Causeway Bay at that, it really requires solid strength, not just shouting about what one can do.

There is another point: life is currently comfortable, and neither the Mong Kok Hall Master of Wo Shing, Long Gen, nor the Red Pole fighter Guanzaisen has any desire to stir up trouble.

As the saying goes, the one close to the water gets the moon first; because Guanzaisen performed well, Wu Feng did indeed give him quite a few ways to make money, and this guy grabbed them firmly.

Like selling Premium A-Grade Goods and the Pork Trotter Rice business; these two items alone could provide hundreds of thousands in profit every month.

Not only that, Guanzaisen actually started to imitate the model of the Emotional Hotline, though of course not exactly the same.

Anyway, with a ready-made example there, this guy and Big Brother Long Gen set up a Lace Newspaper business, specifically putting the pretty photos of their underling ladies on it, and adding some melodramatic short stories to attract traffic.

Then they used the phone to drive traffic for their brothel and massage parlor businesses, not an Emotional Hotline.

The effect was naturally quite good, and Wo Shing's Blue Business in Mong Kok was rising almost every month.

According to past experience, there was at least another few hundred thousand in revenue every month!

Having seen the tangible benefits, Long Gen and Guanzaisen, these two guys, set their sights on Wu Feng, swearing to imitate him to the end.

Previously, because Wu Feng lacked channels, the Folk Fantasy Film "Legend of the Northeast Hunter," co-produced by Fengrui Film and Television and Yindu Institution, borrowed Wo Shing's channels to be sent to Taiwan.

Once the Wo Shing top brass saw the profits weren't low, they simply sold it directly to Southeast Asia and other places.

Of course, Wu Feng definitely didn't receive any copyright fees; it was all carved up by the Wo Shing top brass.

At that time, it was mainly about opening up the market, and since his own strength was insufficient, he didn't take it to heart.

But later, when film distributors from Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and even Japan and South Korea started coming to buy the film tapes of Fengrui Film and Television on their own initiative, plus having Hung Hing's channels, it had nothing to do with Wo Shing anymore.

The other Wo Shing top brass didn't care, but Long Gen and Guanzaisen had ideas.

They followed Wu Feng's lead and opened a film company, specifically producing Blue Films to sell tapes.

Because they didn't seek Wu Feng's guidance, and were unfamiliar with the mainstream film market, they had no intention of shooting proper films and focused specifically on Blue Films.

Still influenced by Wu Feng's industries, the Blue Films they shot all had complete plot lines, which were much stronger than the Blue Films shot by their peers in Hong Kong.

After such a toss-up, their business of selling tapes turned out to be unexpectedly good.

They had a certain market in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, and the profits were naturally not small.

The most bizarre thing was that they also took advantage of the trend to launch related Blue Novel and Blue Comic publications, which also occupied a certain share of the local Hong Kong market and could even be sold to Southeast Asian regions.

This was another hefty income; all in all, Long Gen and Guanzaisen could share millions in revenue from these Blue industries every month.

Once the two saw that these companies and industries were so profitable, they naturally wouldn't link them directly to the gang; they were all registered under their own names and operated as proper private businesses.

No one expected that these two gang Big Brothers would actually manage to create the posture of Blue industry Dadahengs by imitating Wu Feng with all their might.

Not only did they have a stable share of millions every month, but the numerous ladies under them also benefited.

They had a significant chance to participate in the filming of Blue movies, transforming from mere Dance Misses into Wind and Moon Film Stars, and their status and income were naturally incomparable to before.

Coupled with the imitation of Wu Feng's management model for the triad, although they didn't grasp the essence, the situation was effectively similar to that of Wu Feng's Tangge, with the number and strength of his underlings expanding rapidly.

It was just that they were usually dispersed across various industries and nightclubs, so it didn't look obvious.

Previously, when Jing Kun and Wu Feng were holding court and critiquing the top-tier triad hall masters in Mong Kok, they were quite dismissive of the Wo Shing Mong Kok Hall Master Long Gen, clearly unaware of the true situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that Long Gen's strength alone already exceeded all the forces of the United in Mong Kok combined.

While the United was still playing with the most basic green trades in Mong Kok, Long Gen had already upgraded to a mid-to-high level.

Having mastered a sufficient supply of famous beauties, as long as Long Gen didn't court death himself, it wouldn't be easy for him to go under, let alone have someone deliberately target him.

Whatever United Hua Fu, he was nothing in front of Long Gen!

In fact, some of the business of the film company under Jing Kun also followed this path.

It was just that this guy put most of his heart into mainstream movies and didn't shamelessly copy and replicate Wu Feng's entire model like Long Gen and Guanzaisen, so the scale and influence never took off.

This was also the source of confidence for Guanzaisen to go to Macau to live it up every month, losing hundreds of thousands at a time, without even needing to specifically borrow money.

With life going so comfortably, would he be stupid enough to take the initiative to turn against Wu Feng?

Even when chatting privately with Big Brother Long Gen, they felt there was no need to participate in the biennial Dragon Head election of Wo Shing; they were not willing to take out their own industries to share.

Not to mention, this time there was someone providing a steady supply of pork scraps, which was also a guaranteed profitable business; could the supply volume of a wet market be the same as Pork Trotter Rice?

Wu Feng was indeed not very clear about Guanzaisen's situation in the recent period.

If he had known, he would certainly have been greatly astonished.

Sure enough, even for a piece of trash in the triad, as long as they were given an opportunity and could execute it, they could also create a career that would leave people dumbfounded.

The Full Industry Chain model that Long Gen and Guanzaisen had set up would not be difficult to survive even into later generations.

If things went well, they could even make a name for themselves in Asia and break into the Europe and America markets; don't underestimate the channels and power of a triad.

If done well, just like Jing Kun, they could easily dilute their status as triad Big Brothers.

In fact, this model was most beneficial to the United, but who told the United triad Big Brothers that not one of them knew Wu Feng and had a good relationship with him?

Seeing that Guanzaisen's attitude was upright, Wu Feng did not intend to be aggressive or make things difficult.

He changed the subject and asked directly: "Tell me, what exactly are your thoughts on the matter of Youjian Mahjong Parlor?"

Previously, because Guanzaisen had gone to Macau to live it up and owed Usury, he had mortgaged Youjian Mahjong Parlor to Wu Feng to scrape together money, and there had been no sign of him redeeming it until now.

Wu Feng didn't really care; anyway, the mahjong parlor had a monthly income of six or seven hundred thousand, which counted as a decent profit more or less.

Since he saw him now, he naturally had to ask for a clear understanding.

Leaving it hanging like this, after a long time, some things would become unclear.

"How about this, I'll redeem the mahjong parlor, and still let Feng Ge's underlings manage it?"

Guanzaisen's eyes rolled, and he thought of an idea: "How about we split the profits fifty-fifty?"

"Are you trying to give me money?"

Wu Feng laughed: "If we follow the normal rules for watching over a venue, the maximum is only ten percent!"

"It's not that, I just want to leave myself a way out!"

Guanzaisen pondered for a moment and ultimately chose to tell the truth: "In the underworld, no one knows what the final situation will be; sometimes even Big Brothers cannot be fully trusted!"

"Don't look at how well I'm doing now, but who knows what the situation will be in a few years?"

Saying this, he looked at Wu Feng and smiled bitterly: "I still have parents, and I want to marry a wife and have children. It's best to take precautions for some things. If Youjian Mahjong Parlor is handed over to you, Feng Ge, to manage, at least I won't worry about you swallowing the mahjong parlor and denying the debt, and there's no need for that, right?"
