N-A-A Chapter 34
Chapter 34
"Mr. Jiang, our Hung Hing territory has expanded these past few days, but the expansion process has also exposed many problems."
At Jiang Tiansheng's signal, Chen Yao officially began the most exciting part of the conference.
Bucky, sitting next to him, asked, puzzled, "What's the problem?"
Uncle Bo's gaze focused on Chen Yao. "Isn't the territorial expansion going quite smoothly? Last night, Prince also seized a street from Hung Tai in Tsim Sha Tsui, and nothing unexpected happened."
He always felt that Chen Yao wanted to bring up the past.
The previous negotiations went wrong, and the conflict wasn't properly stirred up; that was Big B's fault, not his.
After decades of messing around, he still goes out of his way to cause trouble and get beaten up in his old age. He's almost lost all face, but in the end, when Big B intervened, a fight didn't break out.
"I'm not talking about Tsim Sha Tsui. It's that many people in our triad have been living a comfortable life for too long and have gradually lost their fighting spirit. Our Hung Hing is known in the underworld for its fighting prowess, but in the big battles of the past few days, we've lost two major casualties, more than twenty people have been seriously injured, and over a hundred have been slightly injured."
At this point, Chen Yao couldn't help but glance at Big B.
Of the group of gang leaders who were seated, none of them were injured, except for him, who was seriously injured.
Big B kept his head down, not daring to meet Chen Yao's gaze.
Da Yu also felt guilty, as the two large items he hung were from his subordinates.
It was only because Chen Fan was so outstanding that he managed to save face a little; otherwise, there would have been accountability and punishment for him after the inauguration ceremony.
Chen Yao asked in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, does any of you dare say this casualty rate is normal?"
The expressions on everyone's faces varied, and the older people even began to tremble inexplicably.
Today, this knife is being wielded against the veterans!
The prince said, "Several veterans in my gang made basic mistakes in last night's battle. It's time for a cleanup."
"I never expected that there would be people like Hung Tai Pao Zai Cheung in our Hung Hing. These people are parasites and definitely need to be cleaned up," Baki chimed in.
"Brother Yao, just say what's wrong. We've already realized how serious the problem is."
A hoarse voice rang out.
Seeing that the groundwork had been laid, Jiang Tiansheng said, "Ah Yao's concerns are not without merit. It just so happens that I am also planning to bring about a reform to Hung Hing."
Chiang Tin-sang then announced to the crowd that Hung Hing would implement a twelve-chairman system starting today.
The entire organization has reduced its various branches and divisions to thirteen powerful positions, of which ten have been officially designated.
The remaining seats are, in order: Chan Yiu from Central and Western District, Prince Edward from Tsim Sha Tsui, Big B from Causeway Bay, Pretty Ma from Sham Shui Po, Bucky from Aberdeen, Fatty Lai from North Point, Ma Wong Kan from Chai Wan, Pretty Kwan from Kowloon City, Tai Yu from Kwun Tong, and Chan Fan from Mong Kok. The remaining three seats are yet to be determined, with two of them temporarily given to Uncle Hing and Uncle Bo.
Jiang Tiansheng has decided to completely place the two men on the elders' seat, allowing them to retain their original territories along with their loyal followers. However, neither of them is qualified to sit at the table because they have been in seclusion for too long and have little reputation in the martial arts world.
Big B was transferred from Tsz Wan Shan by Chiang Tin-sang to Causeway Bay, a place with plenty of money, to manage his venues and cover up the gang's bad debts.
However, Big B only got a trial card. Only when he completely resolves the troubles caused by Hung Tai will he be qualified to take the rightful place as the boss of Causeway Bay.
Liang Kun was very resentful that Da B was transferred to Causeway Bay.
Damn it, he deserves credit for Hung Hing's entry into Tsim Sha Tsui. He even went to study for the triad. Chiang Tin-sang clearly had the Causeway Bay territory to manage, but he insisted on ordering someone to build a new territory for him to manage. Isn't this bullying an honest person?
Why should that good-for-nothing B get Causeway Bay?
After everyone had taken their seats according to the new seating arrangement, Jiang Tiansheng spoke again:
"I also want to share some good news with everyone. I have been in contact with the three brothers, Wo Hop To, Dinosaur, Slim Eyes, and Han Bin, recently. These three are interested in bringing their territory and men to Hung Hing. However, they have a condition, and I don't know whether I should agree to it."
"Mr. Jiang, what conditions did they propose?" Bucky asked curiously.
Jiang Tiansheng held up three fingers and said in a deep voice, "The seats for the three decision-makers."
"Because these three brothers were too powerful in Hehetu, the leader, Shalao Tai, was afraid that they would become too powerful and threaten his position, so he kept them from having too much power."
Of the three, only the Dinosaur in Tuen Mun had a temple. Han Bin, who controlled Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi, and the Slender Eyes in Kowloon City had far more temples than Wo Hop To, but their temples were slow to be established, and their businesses were constantly restricted.
"This matter has been bothering me for several days. Today, with the restructuring of the triad, let's start with this issue to make a good beginning. Everyone, please raise your hands to vote on whether you agree to accept these three brothers into Hung Hing. Those who agree, please raise your hands."
As soon as Jiang Tiansheng finished speaking, Bucky was the first to greet him, followed by Chen Yao, Prince, Big B, and the others.
Seeing this, Chen Fan had no choice but to raise his hand.
There's nothing to say about Bucky being a fence-sitter, but Chen Yao, Prince, and Big B are Jiang Tiansheng's confidants. They must have discussed it beforehand, and the so-called vote was just a formality.
Furthermore, the three Han brothers were destined to join Hung Hing.
The ten clearly identified leaders of their respective branches raised their hands one after another.
Uncle Xing and Uncle Bo both looked extremely embarrassed.
Of the thirteen seats, ten are already confirmed, and now three more people have changed their minds, so we must secure the remaining three seats.
This was all planned from the beginning; their interim leader is a joke.
Left with no other choice, the two of them also raised their hands.
"That means it's a unanimous vote. Ah Yao, take some time today to contact Han Bin and the other two and tell them that I agree to their request. Then find an auspicious day so that they can announce to the martial arts world that they have joined our Hung Hing."
"clear."
Chen Yao nodded and noted it down.
After announcing this, Jiang Tiansheng asked about the affairs of all the major gangs.
Two hours later, the conference officially ended.
And Chen Fan's inauguration ceremony officially began.
A round of training involves three people, also known as the Three Passes, but usually an extra red stick is trained as a substitute.
This year's "Triad" event is a special event for Kwun Tong, and also a special event for Chan Fan.
What surprised most people was that Chen Fan, who was famous for his amazing martial arts skills, made a white paper fan.
The Red Stick was Liao Zai, Da Yu's close henchman, while Cao Xie and another substitute Red Stick were chosen by Da Yu from the remaining underlings who were the tallest among the short ones.
There was no other way; the only person in his gang whose skills were second only to Chen Fan was Feiji, but Feiji was determined to follow Chen Fan.
The young people with some ability actually integrated themselves into the group the night Chen Fan planted the flag.
On the surface, Softstar Entertainment is the big winner in this round of professional player recruitment, but in reality, it is a complete waste of recruitment slots.
It was only because Chiang Tin-sang explicitly stated that a second round of formal appointments would be arranged in the second half of the year that other factions would have already launched attacks against Tai-Yu.
"Brotherhood or gold?"
"Love your brothers!"
"Brotherhood or gold?"
"..."
Under Jiang Tiansheng's guidance, a complicated process was completed, and Chen Fan officially became a member of the White Paper Fan organization, also gaining the qualification to open a branch.
Handsome Kun chimed in, "Ah Fan, today is your big day, you have to treat us!"
"Afan, let us share in your good fortune. We can afford all that abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw," Bucky chimed in.
"Afan..."
The others also spoke up.
Chen Fan turned to Chen Yao and pleaded, "Brother Yao, you know the Central and Western District well, so could you recommend a hotel? I'd like to treat everyone to a good meal!"
Chen Yao smiled and said, "No problem."
Everyone cheered.
