Chapter 242: To Each According to Their Needs

Wu Feng found it very interesting!

The behavior of the several Big Brothers from Dongxing was simply that of a rascal.

To put it bluntly, they were forcibly extorting Long Gen of Wo Shing; if he didn't agree, they would continue to pester him, refusing to listen to reason at all.

Yet, the Mong Kok Hall Master of Wo Shing, Long Gen, was being held firmly in their grip.

It wasn't that Wo Shing was truly that much worse than Dongxing; after all, they were the dominant triad in Hong Kong during the seventies, and their strength and foundation were not lacking.

The key was that Long Gen did not want to blow things out of proportion, or rather, he didn't want it to reach Deng Bo.

Some things are just that infuriating.

External threats are incomparable to threats from within one's own house.

If Deng Bo were to intervene, Long Gen's losses would be too great.

If things went poorly, the maritime smuggling business he had worked so hard to establish would no longer have anything to do with him.

Deng Bo was the true backbone of Wo Shing, an existence akin to an emperor emeritus.

Based on Long Gen's understanding of him, Deng Bo would absolutely not allow any Hall Master to potentially disrupt the internal balance of the triad, yet the maritime smuggling business was exactly what could help Long Gen's branch achieve just that.

He had previously discussed this matter with the Tsuen Wan Da D he had been courting, as well as Yutou Biao from Lei Yue Mun.

Yet, faced with the shameless faces of the Dongxing Big Brothers, even the usually hot-tempered Da D from Tsuen Wan showed no signs of making a sound at this moment.

The Da D in the movie was a rather traditional triad Big Brother!

He gave off an impression of being arrogant, overbearing, and simple-minded.

In fact, when pitted against the uncle generation of Wo Shing led by Deng Bo, he was played for a fool without even realizing it.

In the end, when pushed to the limit, he even declared his intention to establish a New Wo Shing.

That was no joke!

Previously, no matter how much Da D stirred up trouble, it all belonged to the internal affairs of Wo Shing.

But once he established a New Wo Shing, that would be starting a separate stove, and Deng Bo and the others would certainly not agree to that.

At that time, Da D from Tsuen Wan was the face of Wo Shing.

"Tsuen Wan, the only color" was no joke, and the power of thousands of Underlings was not to be underestimated!

How could someone capable of achieving that be a fool?

It was just that, clearly, Da D had always been influenced by the uncle generation like Deng Bo; both his thinking and his style of doing things were biased toward the traditional and had been led astray.

The situation now was different!

Mong Kok Hall Master Long Gen had invited him with the promise of profit, so he would naturally explain the ins and outs of the matter to Da D properly.

Once you reach the level of Hall Master, talking about triad loyalty is just asking for trouble for yourself.

What triad Big Brothers value is profit; of course, if one can balance profit with triad morality, then that is a righteous Big Brother praised by everyone.

When Long Gen courted Da D from Tsuen Wan, he naturally wouldn't just use empty words to hoodwink him like Deng Bo did.

Coupled with the fact that he often sat in command of the cargo ships, Da D's temperament at this moment was much stronger than in the movie.

Otherwise, with his hot temper, how could he have tolerated the shameless behavior of the Dongxing Big Brothers?

As for Yutou Biao from Lei Yue Mun, his triad experience was clearly much more seasoned than Da D's.

When it came time for a major showdown, he never hesitated to take action!

Right now, during the negotiations, he was like an invisible man, silent and very composed.

In short, this time the joint move by the several Big Brothers of Dongxing was meant to force Long Gen to make concessions.

What kind of concessions? To help the several Hall Masters of Dongxing open up the smuggling channels in Siam!

Reasonably speaking, the several Big Brothers of Dongxing were truly extremely shameless.

But in this world, many times, things are completely unreasonable.

The several Big Brothers of Dongxing seemed to have pegged Long Gen of Wo Shing, laying their cards on the table to state their demands, waiting quietly for Long Gen to give them a satisfactory answer.

Long Gen, on his end, would certainly not easily concede; this concerned profits in the millions of Hong Kong Dollars.

It was just that the Dongxing Big Brothers were pressing him so hard that even if he wanted to stall for time, it was hardly possible.

"Wusheng, what do you think?"

This guy, not knowing what he was thinking, turned his gaze toward Wu Feng again.

"An exchange of interests!"

Wu Feng said irritably: "Since you feel unwilling, then make Dongxing bring out equal interests!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone's gaze turned in unison toward the several Big Brothers of Dongxing.

"Heh heh, if we held such great interests in our hands, how could we possibly covet your business, Long Gen?"

Ben Shu chuckled and said helplessly: "Long Gen, if you have your eye on any business of ours, you can just bring it up; everything is negotiable!"

Hmph!

Long Gen let out a cold snort and said unhappily: "You old guy, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"The several from Dongxing want Hall Master Long Gen's smuggling channels!"

Wu Feng interjected at this moment: "Then let these several from Dongxing provide channels in some other aspect as well!"

"Hmm, this idea of Wusheng's is not bad!"

Long Gen's eyes lit up; he looked at the several Big Brothers of Dongxing with a rather unkind expression and said directly: "The channels Dongxing has in the hinterlands of the Indochina Peninsula must be opened up to me!"

"This..."

Now, it was the turn of the several Big Brothers of Dongxing to hesitate.

As a first-rate triad in Hong Kong, Dongxing could be called the second-largest triad in Hong Kong, and the depth of their network of relationships in the Southeast Asia region naturally went without saying.

Of course, because Dongxing's main business was selling pills, the connections they made were all top-tier vicious criminals, existences that were unwelcome no matter where they were placed.

It was precisely because of this that the several Big Brothers of Dongxing had set their sights on Long Gen of Wo Shing.

Local bullies and local bullies, they are not the same!

In fact, providing A-Grade Replica Clothing to those vicious and unscrupulous forces is naturally a very unreliable matter, but what if one were to provide them with military-style clothing?

There is also food and logistical supplies; these are all steady, money-making businesses!

Of course, even if one cannot get involved in that, simply selling videotapes should be fine, right?

In fact, don't look at how some fellows are vicious and unscrupulous, with reputations that stink to high heaven in the outside world; the territories they occupy actually have quite a few high-end entertainment venues.

Among them, the demand for premium videotapes is by no means small!

As it happens, the film company under Long Gen has a very distinct style in the erotic film market, and at the same time, it sells quite well in the Southeast Asia region.

Of course, the connections of the several Big Brothers of the Eastern Star happen to be a blank market that Long Gen's videotapes cannot cover; if operated well, there is still a very bright financial prospect.

Sometimes, doing basic business related to food, clothing, housing, and transportation is more profitable than selling pills, and the risk is also quite small; for Long Gen, it absolutely belongs to an additional market share.

In addition, the Eastern Star's influence in the Netherlands is quite powerful!

As a famous international triad organization, the Eastern Star's pill-selling business is spread across Europe and Asia.

If one could use the Eastern Star's connections to take the Premium A-Grade Goods business and the videotape business directly to the Netherlands, and subsequently radiate into Western Europe, then the profits would be even more astonishing.

It is precisely because of this that, after the reminder from Wu Feng, the two sides quickly reached a tacit understanding!
