After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Liang Kun pulled Chen Dong aside and said, "Dong, you really are a man of your word."
Shen Dong complimented, "Brother Kun is truly amazing; he actually managed to get so many people's support."
Liang Kun laughed heartily and said, "This is because everyone thinks highly of me."
Shen Dong said, "Brother Kun, I've done what I promised you. Shouldn't you do what you promised me?"
Liang Kun sighed and said, "Ah Dong, I was originally going to give Ah Hua the position of the leader of Tsz Wan Shan. But my leader, Tyrannosaurus Rex, has been with me for more than ten years and has made outstanding contributions, which really puts me in a difficult position."
Shen Dong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Brother Kun, do you mean to hand over the position of the leader of Ciyun Mountain to Tyrannosaurus?"
Liang Kun quickly replied, "Of course not. Ah Dong, what I mean is that we must appease Tyrannosaurus. You have so much territory, just give him a few streets, that's enough."
Upon hearing this, Shen Dong immediately understood what Liang Kun meant; it turned out that this guy had his eye on his territory.
"Brother Kun, which street of mine has Tyrannosaurus Rex taken a liking to?"
"Mong Kok," Lung Kwan laughed.
Mong Kok has six streets: three commercial streets and three ordinary streets.
Leung Kwan didn't mention the street names, only saying Mong Kok, which clearly meant he wanted to take over all six streets.
As for the territory in Mong Kok, it's not that Sham Tung is unwilling to give it up.
The main reason is that he wants to do big business; things like protection fees and parking fees are too low-class.
The streets in Mong Kok do have a lot of foot traffic, but 90% of them are small shops and vendors, so it's not very interesting.
In contrast, Tsz Wan Shan is different.
Firstly, the land prices there are the cheapest in Hong Kong, allowing for large-scale land acquisition and construction of factories, including material factories, garment factories, beverage factories, instant noodle factories, shoe factories, and so on.
Secondly, the area was too poor. The reason why Leung Kwan was able to take over half of Wong Tai Sin District was mainly because the major triads did not pay much attention to it. There were many people and a large territory, so there wouldn't be so much nonsense going on.
For others, Mong Kok might be more valuable.
But for Shen Dong, a position as the top dog in Tsz Wan Shan is far better than one in Mong Kok.
However, Liang Kun's inconsistency and lack of integrity greatly angered Shen Dong.
"Brother Kun, don't you think you've gone a bit too far?"
With a mournful face, Liang Kun said, "Ah Dong, I feel very ashamed too. How about this, I'll offer ten million plus Tsz Wan Shan in exchange for your Mong Kok, what do you say?"
Shen Dong held up three fingers and said, "Thirty million plus Ciyun Mountain, otherwise forget it."
After a moment of silence, Liang Kun extended his hand and said, "Deal."
Shen Dong shook hands with him and said, "I hope Ahua can take over as the leader of Tsz Wan Shan as soon as possible."
"No problem," said Lung Kwan with a smile. "I'll convene the Hung Hing General Meeting in two weeks."
Back at the bar, Shen Dong told Ahua about his deal with Liang Kun.
Ah-Hua frowned and said, "Brother Tung, I heard that the profits of those venues in Tsz Wan Shan are only a little over 20 million a year. It's really not worth it for us to exchange Mong Kok for them."
Shen Dong explained his plans, saying, "Ahua, never define yourself as a nobody. Protection money and parking fees are beneath us; we're after big business."
“My goal has never been to become the leader of Hung Hing, but to become a true powerhouse.”
Do you understand?
Ahua nodded and said, "Brother Dong, I understand."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "I'm giving you a task: go to Liang Kun's territory and find a suitable place to build a factory. The larger the area, the better. Don't be afraid to spend money."
Ahua said, "Okay."
News of Leung Kwan becoming the new leader of Hung Hing quickly spread throughout the underworld.
Everyone knows what kind of person Liang Kun is.
Choosing him as the leader of Hung Hing is simply an international joke.
No one was optimistic about Hung Hing's future.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Apart from the Triads still fighting amongst themselves, the entire martial arts world has fallen into a brief period of calm.
Within Hung Hing, after becoming the leader, Liang Kun continuously expanded his power.
Shen Dong focused all his energy on business.
Jimmy's arcade is incredibly popular; many young people are willing to wait two or three hours to play games.
All 800 game machines are running non-stop for 20 hours a day.
For the remaining four hours, Jimmy would have his staff perform maintenance on the game console in shifts to prevent the internal components from burning out due to prolonged operation.
The success of the arcade street made Jimmy's clothing street even more popular, and at the same time, the food street also opened, and business was very good.
Including protection fees, parking fees, and other revenues, the profits from the three streets reached three million in just one week.
It should be noted that these three streets were originally the streets with the lowest customer traffic in Tuen Mun.
In addition, Shen Dong's Tengfei Instant Noodle Factory has also gotten on track.
The production line operates 24 hours a day without interruption, and then the goods are continuously transported to Shenzhen by transportation companies and sold to distributors in various parts of the north.
Because of its low production volume, Tengfei Instant Noodle Factory's daily profit is only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and its coverage area is limited to only four or five provinces in the inland south.
If this were expanded nationwide, it could easily reach 500,000 per day.
To Shen Dong's surprise, the distributors that Ni's family had in Southeast Asia actually contacted him, claiming that they wanted to continue selling instant noodles.
Shen Dong was naturally very happy, so he decided to expand the scale, build factories, and import twenty production lines from He Guo manufacturers in one go, ready to make a big splash.
The new location for the instant noodle factory was set up in Wong Tai Sin District, where land prices are the cheapest.
To save time, he simply bought a bankrupt food factory.
This food factory has outdated equipment; all the machines can only be sold as scrap metal. Its only advantage is that it has a large area.
Once the production line is built, it can be put into use immediately.
Shen Dong originally planned to move the instant noodle factory in Yuen Long to Pengcheng, but now he has changed his mind.
A large-scale instant noodle factory is being built in Pengcheng, targeting the entire Xia Kingdom.
The instant noodle factories on Hong Kong Island serve both Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asian countries.
However, Shen Dong's funds were limited. The twenty instant noodle production lines had already cost him nine million US dollars, or seventy-two million Hong Kong dollars, which had directly drained his cash flow.
Since the rest of the money hadn't been properly laundered, Shen Dong postponed his trip to Pengcheng for inspection.
However, once the instant noodle factory starts operating, the money will be returned quickly.
