Chapter 50: Little schooling, no experience (Seeking follows)
Ben Shu ran away, and his cousin was dumbfounded.
If Dongxing's Luotuo hadn't hurriedly sent a heavyweight figure to negotiate, his cousin would have thought Ben Shu was playing him, which would have been embarrassing.
No one knew that if Ben Shu hadn't run away in time, he might have even lost his life in Portland Street.
Not only did Wu Feng, the initiator, want him dead, but other societies that didn't want Dongxing to intervene in Portland Street also wanted him dead. This is the Jianghu; interests come first!
As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel, but bad news travels a thousand miles!
The matter of Hong Yi's internal strife, for some reason, suddenly spread far and wide.
All the societies in Mong Kok focused their attention here, clearly wanting to take advantage of the chaos.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. Everything in Hong Yi was normal, no different from the past!
This was the result of Wu Feng actively building bridges for his cousin in the beginning.
Except for some nightclubs on Shanghai Street, Wu Feng's territory and Hong Yi's other territories did not have substantial overlap, let alone many conflicts of interest.
The newly captured Garden Street and Tongcai Street were not valued by the society, so Wu Feng took them all.
As for half of Xintian Street, Wu Feng didn't send underlings to intervene either, keeping things quite clear.
Under such circumstances, even if they parted ways, it wouldn't end up too ugly.
Whether it was his cousin or Wu Feng, both were heroes to the society; there was no talk of anyone letting anyone down.
The only point of contention was Wu Feng's territory on Shanghai Street, which could also be sat down and discussed.
To be honest, the nightclubs operated in Wu Feng's territory were too formal and were not valued by the old-school Four-Nines and newly joined Four-Nines under his cousin.
They didn't know that while the nightclubs under Wu Feng were indeed formal and lacked those messy things.
The business of nearby small guesthouses and hotels was gradually flourishing.
Anyone who wasn't a fool knew what was going on!
Wu Feng didn't even need to come forward personally; these small guesthouse and hotel owners took the initiative to sign cooperation agreements with Da Fu Hao Entertainment Company, getting a rebate for every deal introduced.
As for the so-called Da Fu Hao Entertainment Company, it was naturally established by Wu Feng in the name of his territory, specifically used to manage external cooperation matters for numerous night venues.
Because there were no intense conflicts of interest, despite Wu Feng and his cousin parting ways, the underlings below didn't turn against each other, and their relationship remained as harmonious as ever.
Such a situation left the covetous societies outside full of doubts, not knowing if it was true or false.
As a neighbor, the popular rising star of Wo Shing, Jimizai, knew that Hong Yi had truly split into two parts.
But he only made a slight probe, and after being sprayed by Wu Feng, he shrank back and became a transparent figure, never again having the intention to come forward and stir up trouble.
Still the same saying, Wu Feng's power was not small, and it was simply not something he could swallow at this time, so why humiliate himself?
As for winning Wu Feng over to join Wo Shing, Deng Bo might be willing, but he and Big Brother Long Gen were unwilling.
If Wu Feng joined Wo Shing, how should he be arranged?
It was impossible to let Big Brother Long Gen give up the position of Mong Kok Hall Master; that was absolutely impossible!
As for letting Wu Feng leave Mong Kok to capture territory elsewhere, Deng Bo didn't have that much face.
This guy Wu Feng didn't have much interest in society affairs to begin with. Forcing him to fight and kill like a society thug was probably wishful thinking.
According to the thoughts of Jimizai and Big Brother Long Gen, it would be best if the status quo could be maintained.
Clearly, such thoughts were a bit too naive!
Before New Year's Eve arrived, a major event happened in the Mong Kok Jianghu.
The former Hong Yi boss took his numerous underlings and territory to join Dongxing, becoming the Dongxing Mong Kok Hall Master!
Dongxing Dragon Head Luotuo gave him plenty of face, directly holding a grand banquet at Sansheng Palace and inviting Jianghu peers to witness it.
A thunderclap on flat ground, with a transfer fee of 3.88 million!
Regardless of the mindset of his cousin and his underlings, Wu Feng and his underlings remained silent, neither showing shock nor expressing dissatisfaction.
The main theme was calm as water, as if such a thing hadn't happened at all!
But in fact, it still caused a certain impact regardless.
The Hong Yi brand was directly dropped on his head; he had to accept it even if he didn't want to!
Only then did the Mong Kok Jianghu peers realize with surprise that even if only Wu Feng's hall supported the Hong Yi brand, it was more than enough.
While the Mong Kok Jianghu situation was chaotic, Wu Feng sent his major underling Li Xin and several other formal employees of Fengrui Film and Television to the plane bound for the United States.
Traveling with them were staff from Yindu Institution!
Hoping their trip would be smooth and they would open a gap in the European and American film and television market in one fell swoop!
As for Jianghu matters, how could Wu Feng take them to heart?
He had long communicated with his major underlings, and they all sat firmly on the fishing platform, completely unaffected by the recent Mong Kok Jianghu turmoil.
When returning to the tuodi, he also specifically made a trip to Yindu Institution.
He planned to contact the Mainland through the connections of Yindu Institution to recruit a squad of thirteen retired soldiers as bodyguards.
For this, he put forward a request: if possible, the recruits should preferably be from his former unit.
Those who could drive or had other skills were preferred!
The basic salary was 5,000 per month, and various benefits were aligned with Mainland state-owned enterprises!
This was a statement, a gesture of closeness to the Mainland!
Rather than recruiting Mainland bodyguards himself, it was better to let the relevant Mainland departments come forward, which would be more secure and reliable.
He had confidence that his own career would definitely have a big explosion this year!
The first thing to guarantee was his own safety!
There were also some other ideas, and it wouldn't be too late to test them once people arrived.
When he returned to the tuodi, he didn't expect that Jing Kun had been waiting for a long time.
"Feng Zai, Hongxing's Mr. Jiang wants to see you!"
This guy was as arrogant as ever, calling him 'Feng Zai' in every sentence.
If it weren't for the fact that Wu Feng didn't care much about titles, as long as it wasn't an open insult, anyone else would have probably started fighting with Jing Kun long ago.
"Then let's meet!"
Wu Feng said indifferently: "Do I need to make some preparations in advance?"
"You kid, why so much nonsense?"
Jing Kun said irritably: "Everyone is in the Jianghu. As long as you don't deliberately dress messily to show disrespect to Mr. Jiang, where do all these rules come from?"
Hehe...
Wu Feng didn't answer, signaling Jing Kun to lead the way, but he was secretly slandering in his heart.
Jiang Tiansheng had long wanted to wash his hands and go ashore; otherwise, why would he let his underlings call him 'Mr. Jiang' in every sentence? That was a clear indication that he wanted what he lacked.
Sure enough, even a high-level Hongxing member like Jing Kun couldn't perceive the subtle emotions in this.
Very clearly, this was because of little schooling and lack of experience. If a white-collar worker from Central had come, they would have easily reacted.
