Chapter 36: Jing Kun is Here (Seeking Reads)

Wu Feng accepted those few pimps and the thirty or forty ladies under them.

As mentioned before, the pimps of Hong Yi all had average ability and couldn't compare at all to Jimmy Zai of Wo Shing, who also came from a pimp background, and the quality of the ladies under them was also very ordinary.

Of course, Wu Feng had no intention of doing prostitution business.

But since he had accepted them, he naturally had to give them a stable source of livelihood.

Many Hong Kong-style novels had already provided a very clear method: that is, to do an "Emotional Hotline"!

Wu Feng had other ideas. Wasn't Tongcai Street known as "Woman Street"? There were a large number of women's products and various women's clothing for sale there.

His idea was simple: while manufacturing trendy women's clothing through a small garment factory, he would use the ladies under him as clothing models!

Of course, packaging and promoting these ladies through newspapers and magazines, and even sending them into the film and television industry to increase their halo, was also doable.

For Wu Feng at this time, wanting to do these things wasn't troublesome.

Didn't he have three big "Red Poles" under him? Just distribute the tasks to them!

Wu Feng had no intention of hiding anything and directly told them his plan.

Those pimps looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"You will be responsible for their various affairs and arrangements, just like agents and business assistants around stars, and you will also earn money through commissions!"

"I know you still have worries, so take two to three months to try. If the results are good, continue; if there's no splash, do it according to the old model!"

For him to be able to do this much could be considered quite conscientious.

If it were according to society rules, where would they care about the thoughts of these powerless pimps?

Turning around, Wu Feng sought the opinions of those ladies again.

The result was quite good; most were willing to try, and a few were not very willing.

This was the main reason Wu Feng didn't like to get involved in prostitution business; defining these ladies simply as "fallen women" was quite one-sided.

Some ladies were truly willing to exchange their bodies for money; earning money was just too easy.

The situation inside was too complicated, and he really didn't want to get involved in some rotten things.

In addition, these ladies were just one link in the society's prostitution chain, and whether it was snakeheads, forcible restriction of personal freedom, or even more excessive things later, they all carried blood and sin.

As a high-level society member, he knew quite a few dirty things.

It gave him the feeling that behind the bright and beautiful facade of Hong Kong, it was all the decay of the old era.

Wu Feng had no intention of forcing them; anyway, there were still quite a few nightclubs under him that were managed quite formally, and he could still arrange for those few ladies who were not very willing.

The Emotional Hotline matter was operated together with another newspaper under him, *Night Color*.

Most of the content of *Night Color* was publishing various photos of beauties, changing to different styles almost every day.

Currently, they were mainly pushing a few of the prettiest young ladies.

The effect was quite good; with *Mong Kok News* helping to draw traffic, at least the clothes worn by the young ladies attracted a wave of attention from female readers.

At the same time, several stalls selling these clothes appeared on Tongcai Street!

As business got better, not only Tongcai Street, but Garden Street and Shanghai Street also had such street stalls.

Just these temporary stalls were enough to arrange the livelihood of hundreds of underlings.

It wasn't that Wu Feng couldn't afford to buy storefronts, but there was no such need!

At this time, the funds he could use were just over five million. The previous box office share and peripheral revenue had all been spent on buying Tong Lau (tenement buildings).

Before, he had only bought a few floors of one Tong Lau, but later he added money to buy the entire building and an adjacent one.

He used one building for himself and also let his confidant fighters live in it.

The other building was used as a temporary dormitory for his employees, which could be considered buying people's hearts. The effect was quite good; at least the conditions were much better than renting outside.

Wu Feng's side was proceeding in an orderly manner, while Tangge's side was a bit chaotic.

After all, Tangge's own knowledge and ability had a limit.

Clearly, the territory he directly controlled and the number of underlings under him had exceeded the limit he could control, and he couldn't handle it at all.

If it weren't for the deterrence of Wu Feng and his underlings, it was feared that the United Society Red Pole on Xintian Street would have had bad thoughts and actions.

Just then, the Mong Kok underworld couldn't be considered calm; a big event happened.

The boss of the Hong Hing Mong Kok branch retired, and a new boss appeared.

It was exactly the well-known supporting character from Hong Kong-style novels, Jing Kun, whose catchphrase was "I'm very hot-tempered"!

Underworld rumors said that this guy had just returned from "advanced studies" in prison and immediately sat in the boss's chair.

Clearly, he must have made a great contribution to Hong Hing before his studies; otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a generous reward.

This guy was also a show-off; he directly sent invitations to all major societies in Mong Kok and found an auspicious day to hold a banquet at a well-known large restaurant to celebrate.

As the only Hall Master of Hong Yi, Wu Feng naturally received an invitation.

"A-Feng, should we brothers go?"

Tangge was full of exhaustion, his spirit not very good, holding the exquisite invitation in his hand and asking.

"Of course we have to go!"

Wu Feng said directly: "Hong Yi's development momentum is good, and we are already considered a standard second-rate society. In the future, there will definitely be no shortage of dealings with the Hong Hing Mong Kok branch!"

Just glancing at it casually, he noticed that Tangge was a bit guilty and short of breath.

He felt it was a bit funny; Jing Kun wasn't a man-eating tiger, was it necessary to act like this?

But thinking about it, it was understandable. A few months ago, Tangge was just a poor kid in Tiu Keng Leng.

Because societies were rampant in Hong Kong, coupled with it being a capitalist society where money was supreme, he naturally felt quite in awe of powerful people at the level of first-class society bosses.

Even though he was now the boss of Hong Yi, it was clear his mindset hadn't completely turned around.

"Alright then, let's go together!"

Tangge took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, as if they were about to encounter a huge storm.

Time flowed, and soon it was the day Jing Kun held the banquet.

"A-Feng, is it necessary to make such a big scene?"

Sitting in the spacious van, Tangge said with a bitter smile: "Those who don't know would think we brothers are going to smash the venue!"

In the van, besides the two brothers, there were four spirited fighter underlings.

The key was that there was another equally spacious van following behind.

Inside, there were a full eight fighter underlings, all of the most prominent ones under Wu Feng.

"What's there to be surprised about? This is my travel habit!"

Wu Feng said nonchalantly: "Safety first when going out. Although face is important, one's own life is even more important. We'll just explain it clearly when we get there!"

Tangge was speechless; he still found Wu Feng's fear of death quite hard to understand.
