Chapter 155 Miscellaneous Matters
When I entered the hotel, I saw Dong Si and Big D's wife chatting in the hotel lobby.
Seeing that Lu Yongqiang looked unhappy, Dong Si left Sister D and walked over to Lu Yongqiang. She took Lu Yongqiang's arm and whispered in his ear, "Aqiang, what's going on? How come you look so ugly in the blink of an eye?"
Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything, but just took Dong Si to the elevator.
When Dong Si walked towards Lu Yongqiang, Big D's wife walked out of the hotel and saw Big D walking towards the hotel with a gloomy face.
Sister D came forward and said, "Negotiations broke down, didn't they? I told you long ago that with the food factory's current performance, there's no way Handsome Qiang would sell it to anyone else. Besides, Boss Li's offer is only 200 million. It's practically robbery."
Listening to his wife nagging beside him, Big D said dissatisfiedly, "Enough! You're just going to keep nagging, right? Instead of nagging me, why don't you help me figure out how to get Liang Zai Qiang to sell the food factory to Boss Li?"
After hearing what Big D said, Big D's wife stopped nagging and said, "Husband, why don't we just forget about this? Although the food factory's valuation isn't high, it's really profitable. Two hundred million sounds like a lot, but it's only a little over a year's profit. Handsome Qiang is no pushover. If you touch his wallet, he'll definitely fight you to the death."
Big D sneered and said, "I know this is difficult, but if it weren't difficult, do you think the Li family would come to me? They also promised to help me take over two casinos in Ao Island.
Do you know that if I can take over these two casinos, I will have at least 100 million in revenue every year?"
After Big D finished speaking, his wife frowned and said, "The gambling hall is indeed profitable, but I don't think it's worth offending Handsome Qiang because of this. Besides, we own 30% of the food factory, and we earn tens of millions every year without any hard work. Is it really worth it to offend Handsome Qiang just for a few tens of millions of dollars in profit?"
Big D glanced at his wife with dissatisfaction, then said, "If it were just two casinos, we would have offended Handsome Qiang, which is really not worth it. But Boss Li has already discussed with Mr. He from Macau Island and will soon cooperate to open a new hotel. By then, the hotel will have eight casinos. If I can handle this matter well, I can at least have three of the eight casinos.
The most important point is that the current sales model of the food factory cannot be separated from the support of the community. Boss Li also understands this, so he has never thought about having the whole thing to himself. His goal is not to acquire the entire food factory. He only needs 60% of the shares.
"Two hundred million to acquire 60% of the shares, and the food factory will still be managed by Liangzai Qiang. I believe that Liangzai Qiang will not refuse such a sincere offer."
…………
When Lu Yongqiang brought his people to the banquet hall upstairs, many people had already arrived in the hall, and many of them knew Lu Yongqiang. When they saw Lu Yongqiang coming, they all greeted him.
"Handsome Qiang, you're becoming more and more powerful now. I heard that you killed Hong Si from the Walled City?"
The person who spoke was Situ Haonan from Dongxing. He was an old Yin-Yang man who set traps as soon as he met someone.
Lu Yongqiang said with a smile: "Brother Haonan, don't talk nonsense. The death of the Fourth Master has nothing to do with me. I heard that your brother Haonan and the Fourth Master had a big feud. Did you kill the Fourth Master?"
Although the walled city was a lawless area, forty or fifty people died in one night. With such a serious case, the Hong Kong police had to pretend to investigate even for the sake of appearances.
The reason why the police did not arrest Lu Yongqiang was because they had no evidence. If Lu Yongqiang dared to publicly admit that he committed the crime, he would be asking for trouble. Therefore, his unified statement to the outside world would definitely be that he would not admit it.
Seeing that Lu Yongqiang did not admit it, Situ Haonan just smiled and said nothing more.
"Qiangzi, come and sit here?" It was Xiyan who spoke, and he asked Lu Yongqiang to sit next to him.
Lu Yongqiang walked up to Xiyan and did not sit down. Instead, he smiled and said, "Boss, this is the table for your leader to sit. I am not qualified to sit here, otherwise someone will say that I don't know the rules." As he spoke, Lu Yongqiang glanced at the dinosaur next to him.
After a few words from Yin Yang Dinosaur, Lu Yongqiang was about to leave, but Xiyan grabbed Lu Yongqiang's arm, pulled Lu Yongqiang to a corner, and then asked: "Qiangzi, what do you think about what I told you last time?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "Boss, I think we should forget about sending anyone to the boxing match! My people really don't have the time. Duxie's skills are not very good, and even if he participates in the boxing match, I'm afraid he won't make it to the end, so let's not embarrass him. Dadong's skills are okay, but he is my bodyguard, and if he participates in the boxing match, I will have no one around me. Tianhong and Bingzai are now in charge of my business in the north, so they don't have the time either."
The Prince, Xiyan and others have been trying to organize a fighting competition. They held a boxing championship last year. The event was not very big, with only 36 boxing gyms in Hong Kong City sending people to participate.
Although the event is not big, it brings in a lot of hidden income. On the surface, various bets are offered by regular bookmakers, and there are also underground bets in private. After the entire event is held, all parties make a lot of money.
Because they made a lot of money last year, some people are not satisfied with small-scale boxing championships this year and are preparing to organize a multi-country boxing championship. Now there are six countries confirmed to participate in this boxing championship, namely Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Japan, Hong Kong and Vietnam.
Each country first holds a boxing championship in its own country to select the champion and runner-up, a total of twelve people are selected, and then these twelve people compete for the championship of the boxing championship.
If it's just a boxing championship held for Hong Kong's own entertainment, then it doesn't matter who the champion is, as no one cares about this honor.
But when things got bigger, especially when several countries participated at the same time, everyone started to care about honor.
Like Xiyan, he wants Hongcheng to win the boxing championship. Since he has this idea, he must arrange for masters to participate in the competition.
Xiyan also has many experts under his command, such as his bodyguard Wang Ying and his gang member Red Stick Scar Brother. Both of them are masters, but Wang Ying is a woman, and her strength is not boxing but killing. The boxing championship is not a killing competition, so Wang Ying is obviously not suitable to participate.
Scar Brother used to be a boxer, so he is suitable for the role, but he is not young anymore, already in his thirties and almost forty years old. He can fight in one or two boxing matches, but he will definitely not be able to hold on to the end of more than ten or twenty boxing matches like the one he is doing now. After all, he is old and his body cannot hold on.
Xiyan had no one under his command, so he thought of Lu Yongqiang. Lu Yongqiang had many masters under his command, and more importantly, these masters were not very old, all in their twenties, which was the peak period. If Lu Yongqiang arranged people to participate in the competition, it would be the most suitable.
For this matter, Xiyan specifically talked to Lu Yongqiang and promised that as long as Lu Yongqiang sent someone to participate in the competition, he could find a way to let Lu Yongqiang get a share of the boxing match.
Xiyan's offer was indeed tempting, but Lu Yongqiang wasn't willing to risk his men. These days, boxing matches aren't just about fighting in the ring; countless interests are at stake. At crucial moments, some people, desperate to win, will throw caution to the wind and resort to all sorts of underhanded tactics. Shootings, poisonings, and other such tactics are all possible scenarios. The risks are too great, and Lu Yongqiang wasn't willing to risk his men just for the money.
Seeing Lu Yongqiang's refusal, Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "Qiangzi, don't rush to refuse this. After the birthday party today, I will call the prince, Ma Wangjian and others, and we will find a place to sit down."
Xiyan spoke, and Lu Yongqiang did not refuse again. He nodded and agreed.
After separating from Xiyan, Lu Yongqiang ran to sit next to Dafei.
To be honest, Lu Yongqiang didn't really want to sit next to Dafei. It wasn't that he had any problem with Dafei, but the bastard was too sloppy. He kept picking his nose with his fingers. Not only did he pick his nose, but he also put his fingers into his mouth while doing so, which made people feel sick.
But there was no way. As soon as Lu Yongqiang separated from Xiyan, Dafei grabbed Lu Yongqiang and forced him to sit next to him.
Seeing Lu Yongqiang frowning, Dafei took his finger out of his mouth, wiped his saliva on his clothes, and then asked, "Aqiang, what did Xiyan want to talk to you about just now?"
The boxing match was no secret, and Lu Yongqiang didn't want to hide it, so he said directly: "What else could it be? Just trying to persuade me to send someone to participate in the boxing match."
Da Fei glanced around, then leaned over and whispered mysteriously into Lu Yongqiang's ear, "Aqiang, have you heard? Liang Kun is planning to increase the number of gang leaders. This might be a good opportunity for you and me."
As soon as Da Fei finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang rolled his eyes and said coldly: "Opportunity? A chance to lose your life?"
Lu Yongqiang had known what Dafei said for a long time. Not only did he know about it, but Liang Kun had also personally discussed it with him. According to Liang Kun, if the number of gang leaders was increased, Lu Yongqiang would definitely be one of them, but Lu Yongqiang did not agree to this.
At the beginning, Jiang Tiansheng was trying to win over the gang leaders everywhere. Liang Kun thought that he was not as good as Jiang Tiansheng in winning people's hearts, so he came up with the bad idea of increasing the number of leaders.
The reason why this is a bad idea is that it is basically impossible to succeed.
If the entire Hongxing is regarded as a company, the leader is the chairman of the company, and the twelve leaders are the twelve directors of the company, who are the decision makers of the company.
Bosses like Dafei, Lu Yongqiang, and Zhang Shun are only equivalent to general managers of branches. Although they have a high status in the company, they are not decision-makers of the company. There is a big gap in power between them.
No one in power is willing to share power with others for no reason. It would be fine if Liang Kun didn't bring up this matter. If he really brought it up, it might be the way to his death.
Knowing that it would not succeed, Lu Yongqiang naturally did not want to get involved.
