Chapter Twenty-Four: A Tale of the Rivers and Lakes
The document in Luo Tuo's hand is a complete transfer document, which can also be said to be the purchase document of "Duofu Jewelry Store".
As a gold lover, Luotuo knows about that jewelry store.
Although Duofu Jewelry Store is small in scale, its boss is named Liu Kun, and Liu Kun’s uncle is Liu Fu, the then Chief Inspector of China!
This jewelry store was a gift given to Liu Fu for his 60th birthday by Chen Zhichao, the powerful hero of the Three Branches.
Furthermore, although Liu Kun is not good at running a business, this jewelry store is worth at least over 10 million.
Face and status in the world! Suddenly all the crows were given to the camels!
"What has Crow done in the past two years, and how can he make so much money? Didn't he keep some for himself and give it all to me?"
Luo Tuo was puzzled, but more moved. He held a large stack of authorization letters, and his facial muscles were trembling with excitement.
"I know that the boss has always loved gold, not because of its value, but entirely because of the tradition and art of the older generation."
"Last year, my boss celebrated his birthday, but I didn't have any good gifts to give him. This year, starting from March, I began to carefully prepare for my boss. I talked many times with Duofu's boss Liu Sheng."
"Fortunately, just today, thanks to Mr. Lei's help, Liu Sheng finally relented and was willing to transfer the store to me."
Crow explained with a serious face, and as he spoke, he clapped his palms twice more.
Snap…!…!
Following his double high-five, two sturdy boys came forward carrying a plaque covered with black cloth.
Lei Yaoyang was unambiguous. He pulled away the black cloth and saw only five words in the letter:
"Tung Ying Pin Bao Xuan".
"Boss, this sign is also a gift. As long as you hang this sign in the store, the boss can openly put his collection in the store for others to appreciate. By the way, he can find some like-minded artists to barter with.
.”
Lei Yaoyang quietly watched the crow show off, until he finished speaking, then he said:
"Master Luo is so lucky! To have such a little brother, Brother Chao treated Master Fu like this back then. Now Crow has bought the "Duofu" brand again and giving it to you will definitely be a legend!"
The camel excitedly held the crow's hand, patted it repeatedly, and muttered:
"Okay, Dong Ying Pin Bao Xuan, what a good name."
To be honest, it's not that Luo Tuo has never seen or confiscated the "Ten Million Birthday Gift", but Crow's birthday gift is really in line with Luo Tuo's wishes.
Not to mention the appearance, it is such a respectable thing to reenact the classic gift-giving story between Detective Zonghua and the hero Chen Zhichao in front of so many people of the older generation.
Let’s talk about the practical things. Don’t mention more than ten thousand, Luo Tuoping loves the objects of the older generation the most, including antiques, gold, and jade. He likes them all.
Among them, gold is my favorite.
But over the years, the gifts Luotu has received and the gold he has bought are actually a very large amount.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
One problem is, he has so much stuff, he has no place to get rid of it!
Even if Dongxing Longtou is dignified, he can't sell gifts given to him by others.
If this is the case, wouldn’t it be viewed as a big joke by outsiders?
Now it's okay, with this Pinbaoxuan, he can openly display all his collections and sell them off.
Look how good the crow is. He even made excuses for himself. It is called "artist's exchange". What a classy name it is.
In the excitement, the camel did not doubt how the crow's bad breath came up with such a good idea.
Patting the crow's hand, the camel praised:
"Okay, this gift is the best one I received today."
After saying that, Luo Tuo did not forget Lei Yaoyang and thanked him:
"Master Lei, I know you must have helped a lot. The crow alone can't make the boss of Duofu Jinhang give in."
"Master Luo is too outspoken to say this. We have always had a good relationship between our Mong Kok Police Department and you in Dongxing. And many of your big bosses in Dongxing, such as Crow Crow and Dadong, also have some personal relationships with me. They asked me to help them.
, No matter for their sake or for Master Luo’s sake, I should help."
Lei Yaoyang was very considerate to Luo Tuo and waved to Ding Yao as he spoke.
Ding Yao also held a stack of documents, handed them to Luo Tuo and said:
"Master Luo, it's just a small thing."
"It's documents again. Could it be that there is a gold shop?"
Luotuo felt happy now that he saw the document. He took it and said politely:
"Master Lei is already giving Luo Tuo a huge favor by coming here, but he still spends so much money. It's really..."
Lei Yaoyang completely saw Luo Tuo's hypocrisy and ignored his words, explaining to himself:
"Master Luo, what you have in your hand now is the three-year contract right to five gambling tables on the outlying islands of Macau."
"Not long ago, I cooperated with Macau's He's family on outlying islands and opened several small casinos. The rules of the casino are very simple, and they are all copied from He's rules."
"As long as Mr. Luo wants whoever wants to do it, fill in the name, and the work can officially start next Monday. It doesn't need too many people, just six or seven brothers are responsible for one gambling table. In addition, the loan business of these five gambling tables,
I specially approve it for Mr. Luo’s people to make."
"I have not forgotten my kindness to Mr. Luo!"
The reason why Lei Yaoyang is what he is today, to be honest, Camel did play a big "role" in it, despite the fact that the two of them basically have no intersection.
But if Luotuo had not sent Lei Yaoyang to Stanley to kill Wu Shihao, Lei Yaoyang would not have become a prison guard!
Lei Yaoyang will not become a disciple of Long Si!
Moreover, Luo Tuo and Lei Yaoyang have no intersection, which is the greatest kindness to Lei Yaoyang!
If Luotuo treated Lei Yaoyang when he first made his fortune, it was like Han Chen treated Liu Jianming.
Can Lei Yaoyang reach where he is today?
It's simply impossible!
Although Lei Yaoyang didn't know if Luotuo didn't pay attention to him at all back then, the status of the two people has also undergone an amazing change!
Even because of the Pulsatilla incident! Lei Yaoyang completely eliminated a major hidden danger in his identity, but he accepted this love because of him.
Wow...
If the crow's gift belongs exclusively to the camel, the Dongxing bosses can only watch.
Lei Yaoyang's gift was different.
All fools know how to make money by setting up a gambling table. In today's world of gambling, if any boss contracts a table in Macau, he doesn't have to do anything else and still enjoys the entertainment.
Nowadays, gambling tables are combined with lending, and the croupier doesn’t have to worry about anything. They’ve taken care of everything, so it’s really not that easy.
This is not a contract right, it is simply a gift of five long-term businesses.
Yanan immediately looked forward to it and said:
"You also know that we in South Asia are poor. Many brothers have come to seek refuge with me, and now I can't even afford them food. Why don't you let me take my brothers there first?"
"Fuck, if you can't even afford to eat, how can you fight at the gambling table? Don't be embarrassed here, Asian man."
The golden-haired tiger also stood up immediately, cursed the Asian man and said:
"Boss, I've always been involved in the casino business, and I'm very familiar with it. Why don't you give these five cards to me and take care of them for you, Boss?"
"Boss, Lao Ding."
Faced with the huge benefits, almost everyone present at Dongxing boss fought for it, and they did not care about the presence of an outsider like Lei Yaoyang.
Everyone knows that when you get to the gambling table, you just lie down and make money, and now you have to admit it if you lose face.
"Shut up, everyone!"
When Luotuo saw his subordinates failing to live up to their expectations, he was furious and shouted to stop everyone.
Then he changed his face to a smile, looked at Lei Yaoyang and said:
"Master Lei, I will always remember the friendship between you and me. It's me who accepts your love! My little brothers are so ignorant that they make you laugh."
"Everyone in Dongxing is enterprising. I can only praise them, not laugh at them. Opportunities are meant to be fought for, Mr. Luo, am I right?"
Lei Yaoyang said politely.
"Oh? Hahaha, yes, everything Mr. Lei said is right. I will accept this great gift. Thank you Mr. Lei."
The camel laughed and ordered:
"Since you and Mr. Lei arrived together, it's up to you to take Mr. Lei in."
Having said this, Luo Tuo thought of something else and emphasized:
"By the way, Mr. Lei's position is chief."
"Yes, boss."
Crow nodded calmly and raised his right hand:
"Master Lei, please!"
In front of outsiders, he did his best to show off and lead the way respectfully.
The Crow, the Golden-haired Tiger, the Smiling Tiger and others were jealous and envious when they saw it.
They all heard just now that it turned out that the casino on the outlying island was jointly established by Mr. Lei and Mr. He.
In other words, Mr. Lei can take out five gambling tables as gifts at will, but I'm afraid there are still many gambling tables on hand.
Crow, this bastard is really insidious. No wonder he ran to pick up Mr. Lei early in the morning. It turned out that he wanted to "get the moon first by the water and the tower".
Not only Sanhu thinks so, but also some other Dongxing bosses.
They didn't think that Crow, who had only joined Dongxing for three years, would be so loyal and devoted himself to buying gifts for Luotu.
The designation used this as an excuse to get close to Lei Yaoyang.
Damn it, ten million is really a generous sum.
But now it seems that it is worth it. While pleasing Luotuo, Lei Ye is optimistic about it, and the money will be earned back soon.
Under the leadership of Crow, Lei Yaoyang and his party entered the gate in a mighty manner.
Without outsiders, Lei Yaoyang's attitude became more intimate. His left and right arms were held by Ding Yao and A Ye, playing with each other:
"Crow, it seems that many people in Dongxing are jealous of you now."
"I'm doing my business, and they're jealous of theirs. What does it matter? I won't stop even after a birthday banquet, so why not stop eating!"
After leaving Camel and Crow, he seemed like a different person, and his arrogance was boundless.
"Master Lei, I'm sorry I had bad breath and said the wrong thing!"
Since Crow joined the Flip Hand Club, his development in the past two years has been like a rocket. He is no longer the gangster who couldn't even afford two million Hong Kong dollars two years ago.
In the past two years, he and A-Zha have often fought one-on-one to prove who is Lei Yaoyang's most loyal dog.
Basically, he was hammered by Tony after beating up Ah Zha and Ah Hu.
Bad dog?
He and Azha just wanted to tell everyone that being a dog is really fun: woof woof woof!
With the reputation of Lei Yaoyang's loyal dog, it means that he has the favor of many people, and it is extremely convenient to do things.
Many people do business, and as long as it suits them, they will give them some discount.
This made Crow and Zha earn a lot of money. In just two years, more than a dozen restaurants were opened.
Crow even played his own signature "Three Mao Card".
The implication is simple, but there is no implication.
Calling me Sanmao is purely because the crow feels friendly.
"Don't be careless. You have developed really well in the past two years, but as far as I know, the most powerful person in Dongxing is not Camel. There is also a powerful woman who has been abroad. If she comes back to Hong Kong and sees you thriving, she will definitely
I will want to take advantage of you."
Lei Yaoyang reminded me, I am afraid that crows with bad brains will "break the sand in the gutter" (anyone understands this).
"Don't worry, Mr. Lei, I have a sense of discretion. Besides, when it comes to beating a dog, it depends on the owner!"
When Wu Wu talks to Lei Yaoyang, let alone talk about bad breath, he is just a good boy and a good student.
Crack!
At this time, the time seemed to be exactly twelve o'clock. Hundreds of firecrackers were blasting in front of the hotel, and many guests were shouting and cheering. It was as lively as the New Year.
Outside the hotel, several hundred seats were filled to capacity, and it was estimated that there were at least several thousand people.
“Camels are really popular!”
Ding Yao looked at the crowds of people from all sides and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister, if you want to hold a birthday banquet, the scene will be even bigger than today."
Rather than saying that Ding Yao is very grateful, the crow is actually very, very afraid of Ding Yao.
"whee……"
Ding Yao covered her mouth and smiled, which was helpful, and joked:
"I'm only in my twenties. It's too exaggerated to hold a birthday banquet now. If I really show it off, people outside might think that I, Ding Yao, am no longer around and am taking this opportunity to make money."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
Lei Yaoyang opened his mouth and added:
"It's easy to imagine a bigger scene than today. The most important thing is who are coming. If you look carefully, some famous figures on the road are sitting outside the door. Inside the hotel, it's not that simple."
Following Lei Yaoyang's words, yes, familiar figures can be seen from time to time on the hundreds of seats at the door.
Those figures are not ordinary gangsters. Many of them belong to local gangsters. Although their influence is not greater than that of the society, they are much better than ordinary gangsters.
Now even they are sitting at the door. The camel guests are undoubtedly of much higher status than them.
As we got closer and closer to the hotel, many of the guests sitting at the tables outside the hotel had noticed Lei Yaoyang and others. They stood up one after another and greeted respectfully:
"Master Lei!"
"Master Lei, you are here too."
"Miss Ding, Sister Ye."
"Brother Crow, you're so late, have you been busy lately?"
More than half of the people, whether they knew Lei Yaoyang or not, greeted him seriously, trying to make him look familiar.
There are also some people who are not familiar with Lei Yaoyang and his entourage. After all, it has been three years since the God of Gamblers Contest. Even if they had seen it on TV, they had long forgotten it.
At one of the tables, only one person stood up to say hello. Others saw this and couldn't help but ask:
"Hey, brother, do you know those people? Who are they?"
"Damn it, you don't even know Mr. Lei from Mong Kok or Ms. Din from Sai Kung, how come you are hanging out here?"
The man stood up proudly, as if it was an honor to meet the other person.
"Master Lei, it turns out he is Master Lei."
"Yes, I remembered that a few years ago, I won the World Gambling God Competition."
"Master Lei, hello Master Lei."
Following the introductions of some people, the next moment, 80% of the people began to greet him, with a huge momentum, which also foreshadowed Lei Yaoyang's current status in the world.
Facing the greetings from all parties, Lei Yaoyang cupped his fists and raised his hands in all directions, responding with a more traditional etiquette.
The group of people kept walking and entered the hotel amidst the noise.
Compared with the noise outside the door, the interior of the hotel is not much better, just like a vegetable market.
Some people banged the table and shouted, some talked quietly, and many people remained calm and maintained their demeanor.
"Master Lei, are you here?"
Sanlian Jordan Zai and Gangbiao Tai were seated relatively far back and happened to be staring at the entrance. They spotted Lei Yaoyang first and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Where's your boss? Didn't he come in person?"
Lei Yaoyang smiled slightly at the two of them and asked casually.
"The boss went to the New World and couldn't come back in time. Let our representatives come over."
Jordan answered with a smile and respectfully.
"What's he doing in the New World?"
Lei Yaoyang had a good relationship with Blue Whale, and asked directly without asking outsiders.
"have no idea."
This time it was Gangbiao Tai who was a little embarrassed.
"Forehead?"
Lei Yaoyang smiled awkwardly but did not ask further questions.
After all, they were here to attend a birthday banquet, and Lei Yaoyang was not in a position to chat with the two of them on such an occasion. After saying that, he continued to move forward under the leadership of Crow.
"Master Lei, Master Lei!"
Just like the situation outside, more people here knew Lei Yaoyang and greeted him one after another.
Before he had gone twenty steps, Lei Yaoyang was greeted by Yifeng Willy, La Jiang, Hehe Tu Rhinoceros, and Liansheng Big D.
As for Baidao, many bosses whom they didn't know at all also ran up to Lei Yaoyang, smiled and complimented him, and handed over their business cards to make friends.
This scene really shocked many young and Dangerous bosses and made the younger brothers envious.
They really didn't expect that Lei Yaoyang would raise his "prestige" to such an extent in just two years by "boiling a frog in warm water" without fighting or causing trouble.
Most of the young and Dangerous guys don't resent his status as a police officer. Instead, they say nice things and hope to get some benefits.
Not to mention the bosses, everyone is well-informed, Lei Yaoyang and Yau Jianwang can cover the sky with one hand, and can cover the entire Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. Cooperating with him is guaranteed to make a lot of money!
There are about ten tables on the right side of the hotel, and all of them are people from Hongmen.
The prefixes are Hongxing, Hongying, Hongle, Hongyi and so on.
Seeing the power of Lei Yaoyang being complimented and greeted by countless people, Jiang Tiansheng, the leader of Hongxing, had no expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Brother Hong Lepiao and Hongyi Longtou were chatting quietly and didn't pay much attention to them.
However, Jiang Tianying, who was represented by Hong Ying, stood up immediately and also came over.
"Master Lei, Miss Ding, Aye, Yaoyangyang."
Jiang Tianying was wearing a black windbreaker and looked slender and attractive. She was very familiar with her and not only greeted Lei Yaoyang, but also other people.
"Aying, you're here too. Master Quan hasn't arrived yet?"
"Sister Ying."
Everyone responded one after another, which was different from the politeness towards outsiders and was a little more sincere.
"My dad has been in poor health recently and is not suitable to attend such a lively party, so I came here on his behalf."
Jiang Tianying smiled and explained honestly.
"Master Quan is not in good health? Why didn't you tell me?"
Lei Yaoyang frowned slightly and said:
"Ayao, remember to remind me to buy gifts tomorrow and let's go see Master Quan."
"I got it, Brother Yaoyang."
Ding Yao nodded in agreement.
Seeing the two people being so polite, Jiang Tianying felt grateful and waved her hand:
"No need, Mr. Lei, Miss Ding. My dad has been having a problem, so he just needs to rest. Mr. Lei and Miss Ding are usually so busy. There's nothing major, so don't bother."
"Whatever you want, what you want, is from your own people."
Lei Yaoyang smiled.
The reason why Jiang Tianying is so familiar with everyone is very simple, because Jiang Quan also joined the flipping club half a year ago.
Not only that, Jiang Quan also made it clear that the next leader of Hong Ying would be Jiang Tianying, so he brought her along with him.
We are members of the same association, so of course we are very familiar with each other. We have frequent contacts and even a lot of cooperation.
"Okay, then I will wait for Master Lei and Miss Ding at home tomorrow."
Jiang Tianying smiled charmingly and said.
"Okay, let's talk slowly tomorrow. The birthday banquet is about to start. Go back and sit down."
Lei Yaoyang raised his hand to indicate that there were many people talking and it was not convenient to say more here.
Jiang Tianying understood and stepped back.
Lei Yaoyang and others finally arrived at the chief table. Except for Crow, Lei Yaoyang and the two girls were all seated, which was a huge honor.
Everyone knows that no matter what the banquet is, the person sitting above the head must be the most distinguished guest.
Three of the people in the group sat at the head of the table, which was a "remarkable" thing.
"Damn, not only did that guy sit in the first seat, but the two women next to him also sat on it. What happened to this camel? We, Mr. Jiang, can only sit in the second seat."
"That's right. So many people from Hongyi came to cheer for Luo Tuo today, and he entertains us like this. Damn, is that really him? You bastard."
A table full of young men with the prefix Hong were discussing, and their words were very angry.
By chance, not only Hong Ying's ghost Wang Biao was sitting at this table, but Hong Lefei Quan was also there.
Ghost King Biao heard the discussion, frowned angrily, and said in a cold voice:
"How many of you have any opinions on the position arrangement of the chief?"
"kindness?"
Several boys named Hong were startled, looked at Ghost King Biao, and one of them said:
"Brother Biao, aren't we just complaining about Sister Ying? That bastard Luo Tuo really has no sense. He let those two women take the position and didn't invite Sister Ying to sit down."
Several others followed closely behind and agreed.
: "Yes, when it comes to women, I only admire Sister Ying, and our Thirteenth Sister!"
"Oh!"
Ghost King Biao sneered and said lightly:
"Of course Aying is good, you don't need to tell me, but Miss Ding and Miss Ye are not the ones you can gossip about."
"Brother Biao, what do you mean?"
The faces of the boys named Hong darkened and they asked.
"What do you mean? My brother committed a crime a year ago. If Miss Ding hadn't sent him to the Philippines, he would have died in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. What do you mean by that?"
Ghost King Biao's face turned cold and he glared.
"this.…"
Only then did the boys with the prefix Hong realize that the reason why they dared to be affectionate was because the person they were talking about was the benefactor of the ghost king Biao.
Of course, they were not convinced by Ghost Wang Biao's statement, so a subordinate of Hongxing boss B said:
"Brother Biao, that girl is kind to you, but she is unjust to us. Not long ago, her man made a nasty note against us, Hong Xing. You must have heard of it, right?"
"If you break the rules and don't obey the seniors, if you fall into my hands, I will deal with it according to the family law."
Ghost King Biao had something to say, but he didn't say it explicitly. He also felt that what happened not long ago was entirely Chen Haonan's fault, and he had to take the blame himself.
"Brother Biao, I respect you as a senior, but you better think clearly before speaking."
That younger brother is quite talented, after all, most of Big Boss B's subordinates respect Chen Haonan, and this younger brother happens to be an admirer of Chen Haonan.
At this moment, before Ghost King Biao got angry, a bowl and plate hit the young man on the head.
"I miss you, you're so big, I'm just fooling you."
Along with the roar of the words, a figure swooped down like a cheetah and pushed the young man to the ground.
The person who took action was not Fei Quan.
Fei Quan once received great kindness from Lei Yaoyang, and he always remembered it in his heart. Today, he saw someone making rude remarks in front of him, which made him very angry.
Fei Quan is an impulsive and arrogant person who even dares to beat Hong Le himself. Not to mention the prefix "Hong", on the surface he calls himself a brother from the same school.
Riding on Hong Xing's little brother, Fei Quan punched him in the face and shouted, "dong dong dong". It didn't take ten seconds before he beat him until he screamed in agony.
"Fei Quan, Fei Quan, it's almost done."
Seeing this, Ghost King Biao was secretly happy, but on the surface he still stood up and started pulling.
At the same time, Ghost King Biao was from the older generation and was very good at being a good person. He explained loudly to the people looking around:
"The young man spoke harshly, and he drank two too many drinks. It's okay, nothing happened."
"That's it!"
There were young and Dangerous people all around, and 70% of the people stopped looking at it after hearing the explanation.
Hong Ying, Hong Le, and Hong Xing also came over, and while pulling away from each other, they asked about the reason in detail.
Coincidentally, the person who came to Hongxing was not Chen Haonan.
Ghost King Biao knew Chen Haonan and became angry when he saw him. He ignored the dissuasion of Prince Hong Ying and said loudly:
"Boy, I said it was a misunderstanding. Why, even seniors can't believe it?"
"Chen Haonan, you have come to the street at the right time. Do you want to stand up for this kid? The birthday banquet will be over soon, and I will wait for you outside."
Fei Quan was even more arrogant, banging the table and shouting arrogantly.
"you……"
Chen Haonan was confused. He didn't understand how he could be hated by so many people with the prefix "Hong".
However, he was not the kind of person who would let others bully him. He immediately yelled at Chao Feiquan:
"Okay, I'll see how capable you are in a moment."
"Forget it, Anan, Brother Biao said it was a misunderstanding."
"Fei Quan, you too, how can you attack a fellow disciple and not sit down?"
"Whoever leaves is a coward!"
Under Hong Leren's persuasion, Fei Quan sat down angrily, picked up the beer on the table and took a sip, already planning to give Chen Haonan a good meal.
"Hahaha!"
Ghost King Biao laughed, looked at Fei Quan appreciatively, poured a glass of beer and said:
"I've long heard that Hong Lefei is a talented young man with both civil and military skills. He is the most popular newcomer in Hong's family in the past two years."
"Okay, based on what you just did, Fei Quan, I admire you. Come on, let me toast you."
