20demayo Chapter 32 The Attack!
Chapter 32 The Attack!
In the martial arts world, reputation is extremely important. Whether it's a good reputation or a bad reputation, it must be big and well-known!
Within the triad, a big reputation equates to a high status. Many thugs, even if they can't gain territory or money through their fame, can still make a living as mediators.
Those gang thugs who are both good at fighting and have a reputation will be pushed out by the gang as cannon fodder and face-offs, specifically to compete against other gangs.
The best among them will be promoted to the position of Double Flower Red Pole, of course, provided that they are really good at fighting. In this day and age, if you can't fight, you really can't get up there. I don't want to think that decades later, the bottom positions can be wholesaled, and four people can be made to be the leaders.
Iron Arm Chan is a man who loves the underworld. Since he started his expansion in Hong Kong Island with the Number Gang, he has been dedicated to increasing his influence.
This person usually claims to be the number one red stick in the number gang, and has been scheming to become a double-flower red stick.
After Big Mouth Chen was killed, Iron Arm Chen became even more aggressive, trying to seize Big Mouth Chen's territory and men, hoping to take the opportunity to make another push and become a Double Flower Red Pole.
As a result, things got so chaotic. He went out for a while and had to be carried back. He's still unconscious in the hospital.
When Ge Dalong received this news, his face turned terrifyingly dark.
"Hey, Boss Ge, what's wrong? What happened?"
Fatty Xin had been keeping a close eye on Boss Ge, fearing that Boss Ge might pull a fast one and cause him to clash with Boss Huo, at which point their Number Gang would have to withdraw immediately.
Dongfuhe would never allow themselves to be fools and charge ahead!
"It's nothing, some of my men are useless, let's get back to work."
Ge Dalong waved his hand, trying to appear as relaxed as possible, and followed.
Ge Dalong was secretly relieved that he had made some preparations and had not placed all his hopes on joining forces with He Anle.
Ge Da Longtou had a good plan: to completely eliminate Boss Huo. He would first join forces with He Anle to seize Boss Huo's fleet, and then join forces with Dong Fuhe to seize Boss Huo's dock business.
With a two-pronged approach, relentlessly striking wave after wave, they were determined to ensure that Boss Huo would never be able to recover.
Previously, when things hadn't come to this point, Ge Dalongtou hadn't dared to make things too straightforward, and Boss Huo always said he was a businessman.
The conflict between the two sides took place at sea. Boss Huo pretended to have encountered pirates, while the Number Gang pretended not to have sent any men to intercept them.
The warship has suffered a great loss. If it weren't for the timely rescue by the US fleet, that heavily damaged warship would have sunk in the South China Sea!
Jiang Guangtou cursed for a long time that night and gave Ge Dalong a strict order to take revenge on Boss Huo at all costs.
Ge Dalong had no choice but to try every possible way to trip up Boss Huo, using whatever tricks he could find!
Boss Huo, Zhang Guohao, and the others all watched these hundreds of gang thugs warily, cursing them inwardly.
I've been through so much trouble all night, and then this happens when I get back. This thing doesn't give me a chance to rest at all.
"You two bosses, you've come to the docks so early in the morning. It seems you have something to tell me."
Mr. Huo clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said something that was neither humble nor arrogant. Although he knew that the other party had ill intentions, he was still quite polite before things got heated.
"Boss Huo, business's been good lately, with ships coming and going every day. You must be making a fortune, right? You've had your fill, but you should at least let the poor folks at the docks have a piece of the pie, shouldn't you?"
"Looking across Hong Kong Island, which dock's loading and unloading isn't done by our brothers from Tung Fook Wo? It's not right to rescue your Fok family's fleet without using our people, is it?"
Fatty Xin glanced at Ge Da Longtou and immediately confronted Boss Huo. Perhaps because there was no good food, Fatty Xin didn't have time to mince words and bluntly told Boss Huo that they were here to cause trouble because they hadn't gotten any benefits from him and were here to make money!
"Boss, you can't say that. I'm in business, and I consider costs in everything I do. My business is small, and I can only make a profit if I use my own people as much as possible. If I use your gang's laborers, how will we make any money?"
"Okay, you name a price, and we'll give you a little something every month. You don't need to help us unload the goods; consider it a gesture of friendship."
Boss Huo looked at his brothers around him, all of whom were exhausted from staying up all night. After thinking for a moment, he decided to back down, spend money to buy peace, and figure out a way to solve the problem later.
"Hmph, do you think we Dongfuhe are beggars? Or do you think we're thugs? What's the big deal about giving us this money? We Dongfuhe brothers make a living with our strength. We're just like any other fleet."
Fatty Xin was so fat that he could barely stand after saying a few words. He called to his two underlings to bring a box from the dock next to him, sat down on it, and then spoke slowly and deliberately.
Hearing Fatty Xin's shameless words, Boss Huo and Zhang Guohao were speechless for a long time. They didn't say anything. What do you mean by relying on strength? It's good enough that the people from Dongfuhe don't cause trouble.
They have the nerve to say they're not thugs? What are they then? A gangster, huh?
"What about you guys? Want to help with loading and unloading too?"
Boss Huo knew that there was no way to continue the negotiation with Fatty Xin, so he turned to look at Boss Ge and said.
This guy surnamed Ge is even more difficult to deal with. In fact, all the troubles that Boss Huo has encountered recently are related to this guy. This person is the biggest trouble.
"We're here to help Dongfu and his brothers. You're a big boss, you can't just bully us ordinary folks because you have a lot of money! It's not easy for us to earn money, so you big bosses should have some compassion and give us a way to survive."
Ge Dalong's words were even more infuriating; he immediately labeled Boss Huo and stirred up hatred.
What kind of big boss is Boss Huo now? He's still in the initial stage of accumulating capital. But in Ge Da Longtou's mouth, Boss Huo has already become a capitalist who exploits the lower class.
"Hehe." Boss Huo was so angry at the two people opposite him that he laughed. They were really trying to rip him off, or even steal his business!
"So you mean my fleet can only dock to pick up cargo from now on? How to load and unload the cargo is entirely up to you. You can help me unload when you have time, and I have to wait when you don't?"
"If you guys are happy, I can unload this thing faster; if you're not happy, I might have to throw some of it away?"
Boss Huo said coldly that the reason he had to use his own people to move all the goods was firstly for secrecy and security, and secondly because these unscrupulous gang laborers didn't follow the rules at all and tampered with his goods, causing him heavy losses!
