Chapter 229: It’s hard to get fat if you eat alone, eat the chicken with the skin, Big D Jimmy: We beg you to take us with you!
Baishishi Island, nine o'clock in the morning, the weather is sunny and windy.
Today, Shiraishi Island ushered in a historic moment, the groundbreaking ceremony for its development.
At the ceremony site, colorful flags were flying, banners were hung high, and ribbons were dancing in the air.
Chen Shixian, Guo Kailin, Mr. Su Sen, as well as government representatives, media representatives, etc. were all present.
On the foundation stone, a huge cornerstone covered with red silk and wrapped in cinnabar silk lies quietly in a deep pit covered with a Persian red carpet. Several shovels are placed radially on the edge of the pit, and the shovel handles are wrapped with red and gold ribbons.
In the middle is an altar covered with red cloth. On the altar, the most eye-catching thing is a pair of roasted pigs. Surrounding it are traditional Chinese cakes covered with red paper, such as Mala cake and radish cake.
The incense is burning and the red candles are bright.
“Crackle!”
Eighty-eight firecrackers exploded, salutes roared, and fireworks and colorful silks flew in the air.
Chen Shixian was wearing a dark blue suit, a bow tie, his hair combed back, and his face was full of smiles.
"Ah Xian, come, let's lay the foundation together!"
Guo Kailin wore a dignified suit with her hair tied up behind her head, which looked very neat and made her cheeks, as rosy as a juicy peach, look even more hydrated.
Her high heels were stuck in the mud, and she was holding a brand new shovel in her hand, greeting Chen Shixian with a smile.
Chen Shixian walked forward, gently held Guo Kailin's hand, picked up the shovel together, and worked together to spread a handful of soil on the foundation stone.
“Crack, crack!”
Flash lights flashed all around.
The sounds of camera exposure continued to ring out, freezing the scene in the midst of long and short cameras.
This scene officially announced the start of the cooperation between the two parties, and also symbolized that the dazzling treasure trove of Baishi Island on the sea had come into being.
Photos of Chen Shixian and Guo Kailin holding shovels and laying the foundation together soon appeared in Hong Kong media newspapers and on television.
At the same time, the news that He Yi Hai was torn apart, Yan Jing was defeated, Tai Zi Ge was arrested, and Kwun Tong was taken over by Quan Hing, swept through the entire underground forces of Hong Kong Island like a tornado.
The entire Hong Kong community was shocked.
When people learned the whole story, they were not shocked that He Yi Hai's ship capsized, nor were they shocked that Quan Hing took over Kwun Tong.
Instead, they were shocked that Chen Shixian could actually overwhelm the three big names by himself and force out the three leading gangs, Liang Kun, Crow and Ding Xiaoxie.
Take over Kwun Tong, a brand new and higher level.
This sunset society, which was originally on the verge of extinction, was revived and grew bigger and stronger in the hands of Chen Shixian!
However, the leaders of various community groups, based on the cooperation between Chen Shixian and the Guo Group, saw the essence through the phenomenon, and based on this information, they had a deeper and more thorough understanding of Chen Shixian.
Chiang Tiansheng Villa, Po Shan Road, Central.
Next to the courtyard garden.
Her girlfriend, Fang Ting, a porn actress, was wearing a swimsuit, showing off her beautiful figure, dancing in the swimming pool like a mermaid.
Whenever there were guests at the Jiang family villa, she would swim in the swimming pool, and Jiang Tiansheng also condoned this behavior.
He actually treated his girlfriend as a kind of showing off, like an expensive ornamental fish kept in a bathtub.
It seems that only in this way can his style be highlighted.
On an outdoor courtyard table, there were some fresh high-end fruits, and next to it was a copy of today's newspaper. On the front page headline was a picture of Chen Shixian and Guo Kailin laying the foundation stone together. They were all smiling, and their smug look was very eye-catching.
Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao sat face to face.
He held a Cohiba cigar in his hand, and still imitated the upper class in his eating, dressing and living expenses, exhaling dense and long smoke from between his lips and teeth.
"Mr. Jiang, you are really far-sighted. It turns out that you have a good way of judging people."
"Chen Shixian is very capable!"
Chen Yao spoke meaningless flattery, praising Jiang Tiansheng so much that his eyes sparkled.
"I've said before that people like Chen Shixian who wear suits and ties and eat brains should either be stepped on to death or kept at a distance."
"Even if we don't give in to this street in Kwun Tong, he will try every possible way to take it."
"It's not necessary to do this for such a small profit. There are too many gangs in the underworld that have caused chaos and suffered heavy casualties for the sake of a little profit."
“It’s petty.”
Jiang Tiansheng spoke eloquently with emotion.
"Mr. Jiang is right."
"However, Liang Kun seems to have a lot of opinions and is very dissatisfied."
Chen Yao nodded in agreement.
But I was secretly complaining in my heart, what is the overall situation? What do you mean by "a few melons and dates are unnecessary"?
It's just to take the opportunity to suppress Liang Kun, because they are afraid that he will become too powerful.
Jiang Tiansheng's words always sound so nice.
"Jiang Kun has been wronged. You should comfort him and tell him not to worry about the short-term gains and losses, but to put the overall situation first."
"Chen Shixian is different from ordinary gangsters. He is a mad dragon out of the sea. Sooner or later, he will soar into the sky. Don't mess with him!"
Jiang Tiansheng instructed Chen Yao.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang, I will do my best to do ideological work on Liang Kun."
Chen Yao agreed.
But I was already cursing in my heart.
Jiang Tiansheng is the one who does all the good things, and he is the one who cleans up the mess.
Liang Kun is unruly and a dog that will bite. It would be strange if he could be coaxed with just a few words.
However, as a member of the society, he had no choice but to do it.
On the other side, Yuedong Restaurant.
On the TV in the hall, in the news, Chen Shixian and Guo Kailin, a talented man and a beautiful woman with bright smiles, flashed across the screen.
On the round table, the crow and the smiling tiger sat on the left and right of the camel.
The crow tilted its neck, its face so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
The table was filled with various seafood.
"See? He has a multi-billion dollar project under his control. He is no longer an ordinary scoundrel."
“This is a big water pipe.”
The camel was eating so much that his mouth was dripping with oil. He envied the crow and taught it a lesson: "What are you doing out here now, risking your life?"
“It’s all about money.”
"This is an era that is all about money. Fighting and killing has no future."
After hearing this, the crow's eyes became more rebellious, and he said unhappily: "We are just gangsters. If we don't fight and kill, how can we get rich?"
"What did Chen Shixian not fight for to get to where he is today?"
"To be a gangster, you have to be ruthless, decisive and quick. If the boss had supported me in the Kwun Tong incident, I would have taken down Chuen Hing a long time ago."
"If we take over Kwun Tong, we can earn a lot of money just from the regulatory fees. Now, we have nothing."
"They have gained both fame and fortune, and have moved on to a higher level!"
The crow became angrier as he spoke, his dissatisfaction was evident and his tone was full of blame.
Seeing his arrogant look, Luotuo immediately put on his elder brother style, looked at him sideways with impatience on his face.
"You're the only one who talks too much!"
"You are so majestic and amazing!"
"He took it upon himself to mess with Kwun Tong with Liang Kun and Ding Xiaohai, and he didn't even bother to tell me about it."
"Later, when something went wrong and someone had to clean up the mess, they knew to ask the head of the group to step in."
"Do you still have me as your big brother in your eyes?!"
Luotuo held the chopsticks in both hands, slammed them heavily on the table, his eyes full of anger, and scolded loudly.
Seeing this, Smiling Tiger rolled his eyes, quickly pulled out a cigarette, handed it to Luotuo, lit it for him, and coaxed him with a smile: "Brother, have a cigarette to calm down."
He acted as a peacemaker, threw a cigarette to Crow, and said with a straight face: "Crow, listen to what the big brother says. As the younger brother, we should respect the big brother."
Although Smiling Tiger seemed to be scolding Crow, he was actually on the same side as Crow and they had a close personal relationship.
Don't be fooled by his appearance of defending the big boss Camel.
In fact, he and Crow did a lot of things together, deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and doing things that were hypocritical and cheated Camel a lot.
The reason for stepping forward to stop it was to let the crow not confront the camel openly, to give it some face, and not to tear each other apart yet.
Crow took the cigarette and threw it into his mouth in the air, his eyes filled with coldness and viciousness.
If it weren't for the rebellion and killing the big boss, which would have aroused public anger, the table would have been overturned by now and Camel would have died many times ago.
This big guy has been unhappy for a long time.
When the camel saw the crow smoking silently with its head down, he thought that his majesty had made the crow obedient. He sneered in his heart, thinking that no matter how arrogant the crow was, it was just a small figure.
He shook his head and continued to teach: "Crow, you haven't stood firm yet, so don't follow others and expand your territory everywhere. If you take too big a step, you will end up hurting yourself."
"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you and kill me."
"Like Chen Shixian, who spent 100 million to buy a license plate and spent tens of billions on the development of Baishi Island. He has plenty of money. Not to mention a few million, he can afford to throw away tens of millions. If you throw money out, there will be many bad guys rushing to chase you all year round."
"If I don't kill you by chopping you to death, I can beat you to death. Even if I don't beat you, I can starve you to death!"
The crow listened with its ears, and looked at the camel with an increasingly vicious look, and felt more and more unwilling to accept it.
Old fashioned!
Garbage, dregs!
You are such a coward, why do you want to be a big boss? You might as well go back home and retire early!
If you want to be a gangster, you can only dominate if you are ruthless!
Conservative, no future!
This old-fashioned thinking is outdated!
It's so annoying to keep nagging. Sooner or later, I'll twist the camel's head off and put my butt on the ground to use it as a stool!
The camel saw that the crow didn't say a word and was complacent, thinking that he had won people over with his virtue.
At the same time, Jimmy also saw the news, and his face was filled with excitement as he looked at the billions of dollars worth of project on Baishi Island that was about to start construction.
It's a multi-billion dollar project. Even if you just let a little bit slip through your fingers, you can still make a lot of money!
Great old sage, shut up!
He declared that Chen Shixian was the smartest, most money-making and handsome guy he had ever met.
Watching the news, Jimmy's mind was full of money, money, until his mouth was scalded by the tea in the cup. He spat out the tea, hissed a few times and breathed in a cold air before he came to his senses.
He spoke in a big voice and quickly called Big D: "Big D, Big Brother Xian's multi-billion-dollar project is about to start. You and he are good brothers, why don't you strive for the Baishi Island development project."
"Let's do this project right together!"
When Big D heard this, he was immediately attracted.
Yes, these associations also help some big guys to recruit people and build buildings, and they also have construction teams.
If we can get the Baishishi Island project, we will definitely make money, and it is a legitimate business, more popular than any other business.
He watched Chen Shixian develop along the way, doing one legitimate business after another, each one making more money than the last, and he had long been extremely envious.
Now I have the opportunity to make a living by following the crowd. How wonderful it would be.
Big D and Jimmy hit it off immediately. Both of them were action-oriented, so they immediately made an appointment with Chen Shixian to eat dog meat hotpot.
Chen Shixian gladly accepted the enthusiastic invitation from Da D and Jimmy.
Although Big D is arrogant and flamboyant, he never does anything shady. He always puts everything out in the open. If he is unhappy, he will just overturn the table. He is a straightforward person.
He enjoys socializing.
As for Jimmy, he is smart, has bottom line and principles in doing things, and only likes to make money. If he can be won over, he would be good.
Although these two people did not explicitly state the invitation, Chen Shixian guessed something.
I guess it’s about the development of the Shiraishi Island project.
After all, both of them used to be from He Liansheng and had legitimate businesses under their names. Jimmy had an engineering team and Big D had a construction company.
The news just came out, and it’s easy to guess the invitation at this time.
…
night.
Tsuen Wan, Uncle Fat’s private dog meat stall.
In Hong Kong Island, influenced by British laws, cats and dogs cannot be eaten. If you eat them and are caught, you will be fined at the very least, and prosecuted or imprisoned at the worst.
However, dog meat is also known as delicious meat, and many people flock to it, so the dog meat business is still in full swing.
However, it is not available in regular restaurants and is only made secretly in some private restaurants. As for Kowloon Walled City, it is made even more openly.
It was inconvenient for Big D to go to Kowloon Walled City, a chaotic and mixed place, to discuss something with Chen Shixian.
So they found the Fat Uncle Private Dog Meat Restaurant in Tsuen Wan to entertain Chen Shixian, and they even booked the entire restaurant.
Normally, Uncle Fei would kill four dogs every day, and he would sell them all when they were sold out, never more than that.
This private dog meat restaurant is recommended by regular customers.
The location is also very secluded, in Ting Kau Village, at the junction of West Tsuen Wan and Castle Peak Road, with its back to Castle Peak and facing the sea.
The village is not big, with a small number of houses scattered on the green hills.
Uncle Fei’s dog meat restaurant is halfway up the mountain. The car can only drive to a flat slope below and then go up a distance.
When Chen Shixian came for the first time and brought the explosive beads to the dog meat restaurant, he was already half an hour late.
Big D had already ordered a table full of side dishes. The dog meat was put into the pot, and the thick soup in the copper pot was boiling and steaming.
He opened his suit jacket, rolled up the sleeves to his arms, and undid two buttons of his shirt, letting it hang open.
Big D was holding a soup bowl and slurping the dog meat soup.
Seeing Chen Shixian coming, he put down the bowl without even having time to wipe his mouth, stood up immediately, and pulled Chen Shixian to sit down with his arm around his shoulder.
"You've come just in time. Today we have a big black dog with hard bones and chewy meat. The first-cut dog meat soup is pure and fragrant. Let's have a bowl first!"
Big D casually served a bowl of soup to Chen Shixian and Baozhu respectively.
Although Jimmy's nose was sweating from the hot pot, he was still well-dressed and handsome, maintaining his image.
When meeting his future financial sponsor and preparing to curry favor with him, he cannot lose his sense of proportion.
He greeted Chen Shixian politely, and after sitting down, he helped pass a pair of chopsticks over from the chopstick holder.
The two of them, one active and one quiet, coordinated well and were very polite.
Chen Shixian took the chopsticks from Jimmy and gently put them aside. He looked at the half bowl of soup left by Da D and the dog bones he had gnawed clean, and scolded with a smile:
"Damn it, Big D, you invited everyone to dinner, but you ate before the guests arrived."
"Hey, we're all brothers, no need to be so particular, you're late, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
Big D smiled carefree and nonchalantly, picked up a bottle of unlabeled medicinal wine, and filled Chen Shixian's glass with it.
"You're still calculating with me. This is a damn place. There are no street lights. I have to climb a mountain and make many turns. I almost got lost."
Chen Shixian smiled and chatted for a few words, then picked up the wine in his hand, looked at the crystal clear wine inside, and asked, "Damn, what kind of wine is this? It has no label and no name. Will it be poisoned if I drink it?"
"Do you know what it is? This is genuine tiger bone and deer penis wine. It's very nutritious. I usually don't want to drink it."
"The wine from your winery is beautifully packaged and fancy, but it's all smuggled. It's poisonous if you drink it."
Big D cursed without mercy.
"Wow, black dog meat, tiger bone and deer penis wine, boiled oysters, after eating this hot pot, my brother will bleed!"
Chen Shixian smiled evilly and gently clinked his glass with that of Da D, took a sip, and continued, "By the way, you and Jimmy are so enthusiastic in treating me to dog meat today, what's the matter?"
"Fuck, you're not a good enough brother. We're all brothers, we just meet and have a meal, so what's the matter?"
"I can't just be attentive for no reason?"
Big D put the empty cup on the table and cursed with a smile.
Jimmy silently filled the glasses of Big D and Chen Shixian's glasses. Although he was now one of the owners of He Liansheng, he was just a younger brother in front of Big D and Chen Shixian.
For a moment, I couldn't get a word in.
Just talk less and do more.
Chen Shixian fished out a cigarette box, shook out a cigarette, handed it to Da D and said with a smile: "I can see from you that you don't study hard. Your Chinese and PE teachers taught you that. You don't know that being attentive for no reason means being a traitor or a thief."
Big D originally thought he had used an idiom and was being pretentious, but it turned out that his coolness did not last more than three seconds.
His expression froze slightly, and he was shocked. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. He really had something to ask Chen Shixian.
He awkwardly picked up the cigarette, lit it with a click, and curled his lips nonchalantly: "Damn it, if I were good at studying, who would bother hanging around in the underworld!"
"Learn nothing!"
"I saw you were on the news, cooperating with Guo on a multi-billion dollar project, so I invited you to dinner to celebrate. By the way, I wanted to ask you, a big shot, if there is anything I can help you with."
Big D squinted his eyes, exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked tentatively.
Chen Shixian had expected this, so he didn't rush to answer. Under the expectant gazes of Big D and Jimmy, he slowly lit a cigarette and took a puff.
Then he picked up another piece of dog meat, dipped it in the sauce and took a bite, chuckled and looked over: "Brother D, do you think I can help you with anything?"
Big D was slightly stunned, but he couldn't pretend for more than three seconds before he completely lost his patience.
After a lot of hesitation and beating around the bush, he felt really uncomfortable.
This is not his style at all.
So he waved his hand and said generously: "Forget it, I won't beat around the bush with you, Big Brother Xian, I'm telling you the truth, I saw you won the Baishi Island project, I was jealous!"
"It's such a big business, let me get involved!"
"You know my character. As long as I don't lose money and can support my brothers, I can make a small profit, give up the profits and give kickbacks. We are one family, so I'm fine with anything!"
Big D spoke out all his goals and ideas at once, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Chen Shixian was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. No wonder all of Da D's business was handed over to his wife. He really lacked negotiation skills.
He speaks his mind directly, without disguising himself at all. However, although his words are rough, they are sincere.
Jimmy was stunned watching from the side.
Big D was too direct. He had never seen such a way of doing business before. He had no choice but to play the sincerity card and tell the truth. After all, it would be fake if he said anything false at this time. He said, "Brother Xian, we are all doing this for money."
"We admire you very much. You have built such a big business. It is easily worth hundreds of millions."
"This is much more promising than collecting protection fees or helping people to take over houses."
The more Jimmy spoke, the more spirited his eyes became. He looked at Chen Shixian and continued, "Brother Xian, the development of Baishi Island will also require construction companies and engineering teams to enter."
"It's better to find your own people than to find others."
"Give us a chance to work together!"
Big D raised his glass and drank the wine in it, then placed it on the table with a heroic gesture. He continued with a drunken breath, "Yes, Big Brother Xian, you are thriving now, and you are doing so well in Zhengxing. I don't know how many people are jealous of you."
"It takes a lot of skill to reach this level in such a short time."
"It doesn't matter who you do business with. If we join forces, who will dare to bully us in Hong Kong Island?"
"Jimmy and I just want to follow you and do some serious work. Please lead the brothers!"
Chen Shixian flicked the ash off his cigarette slowly and listened quietly to Da D and Jimmy praising him.
After a long while, he looked at their expectant eyes and said with a faint smile: "Okay, no problem, we are all brothers, let's make money together and work together."
???!!!!!!
Just, you agreed to it like that?!
Big D and Jimmy's pupils tremble.
Chen Shixian's straightforward attitude stunned the two of them, and they swallowed back all the prepared remarks.
The two looked at each other.
I just went through a lot of twists and turns, but unexpectedly, the other party agreed so easily!
Both of them were a little bit unbelieving.
Happiness comes too suddenly.
"Brother Xian, you, you didn't play tricks on us, did you?"
Jimmy widened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Chen Shixian with sharp eyes.
"It's hard to get fat by eating alone, but you have to eat the chicken with the skin."
Chen Shixian looked at the two of them with a smile and said seriously.
