Chapter 265 The Inexplicable Uber
When You Bo finished speaking, even Lu Yongqiang, who had a big heart, was shocked.
Yu Bo spoke in a very serious tone, as if as long as Lu Yongqiang agreed, he would immediately become the leader of Hongxing.
Lu Yongqiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle You, you think too highly of me. There are only about 3,000 or 4,000 Hongxing brothers in Tuen Mun. Even if they are the peripheral people who follow me to make a living, there are no more than 10,000 of them.
Even with such a small number of people, it's already enough to make me rack my brains. If I were to be responsible for the entire society of nearly 100,000 people, I might not do as well as Mr. Jiang.
I can’t even dream of becoming the leader of this society.”
Lu Yongqiang was not being polite, but speaking the truth.
After becoming the leader of the Tuen Mun gang, Lu Yongqiang had to recruit a group of people in order to stabilize the situation in Tuen Mun. The number of his men was close to 5,000 at that time.
In order to maintain his reputation, Lu Yongqiang did not collect much protection money. He simply did not charge a penny from some poor families. He also did not charge protection money from people with the surname Lu or ordinary small shops, so he naturally would not charge it now.
As for the several nightclubs in Tuen Mun, Lu Yongqiang did not touch the gray industry and handed over the profitable pornography business to others, which resulted in him not making much money from running the nightclubs.
Most of Lu Yongqiang's subordinates have joined the security company, and Lu Yongqiang has to pay them on time every month.
There is also the need to support those one thousand elite younger brothers, plus the intelligence network of several hundred people on Skinny Monkey's side.
Lu Yongqiang simply cannot afford to support so many younger brothers relying solely on the income from the gang. He basically has to pay more than 10 million yuan out of his own pocket every month.
This is because Lu Yongqiang became the leader and the share he submitted to the society was reduced by 30%, otherwise he would have to subsidize more every month.
Lu Yongqiang does have a large family and a lot of money, but even if he is rich, he still feels distressed to receive such a large subsidy every month.
After the situation stabilized, Lu Yongqiang asked Scorpion to clean up a group of sneaky people. Now the number of his men remains at around 3,500.
Even with this amount, Lu Yongqiang still has to pay nearly 10 million yuan out of his own pocket every month.
A gang in Tuen Mun needs nearly 10 million in subsidies. If he were in charge of the entire society, according to Lu Yongqiang's way of doing things, he would probably have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars out of his own pocket every month to provide subsidies.
What's more, the Tuen Mun gang is under the control of Lu Yongqiang, and he has money to subsidize it, so even if he doesn't allow his subordinates to touch the gray industry, those subordinates have no complaints.
But what about the other gangs? If Lu Yongqiang really dared to tell everyone not to touch the gray industry, those leaders would probably turn against Lu Yongqiang immediately.
Just like Thirteenth Sister and Pretty Mom, their main industry is the pornography industry. Who dares to cut off their source of income?
And Han Bin, his main source of income is still from smuggling. Can you ask him to stop doing this business?
And Dinosaur, most of his income comes from that gambling ship. Can you ask him to give up this goose that lays golden eggs?
Jiang Tiansheng had forbidden drug trafficking in the beginning, but the reason this was possible was that most gangs at the time did not traffic in drugs. Although a few of them were involved in this business, they did not make a big profit. After Jiang Tiansheng gave them a certain amount of compensation, although those people were still somewhat dissatisfied, they could barely accept it, and that's why there was no trouble.
Now among the thirteen gangs, almost all of them make money through gray industries. Even Lu Yongqiang's Tuen Mun gang still has some gray industries. If anyone dares to say that they will eliminate the gray industries, it will simply cut off everyone's source of income.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, You Bo did not insist, but just smiled and said: "Since Qiangzi you don't want to, then let's talk about this matter later."
"Oh right! I heard that you, Qiangzi, discussed with Ah Yao about having the community invest in your food city project. We, the old guys, have discussed this and think it's a good idea. However, you can lead the management, but you can't rely solely on people from your Tuen Mun branch. You need to give other branches a chance to participate."
As soon as You Bo finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang's heart skipped a beat. He wanted the community to invest, mainly to make use of the opportunity to lay eggs. If the community wanted to take the opportunity to interfere in his business, Lu Yongqiang would not be willing to do so.
You Bo is an old man who looks like a kind and amiable old man, but he was a ruthless man when he was young. He relied on his brain to make a name for himself at the beginning. Before he was 30 years old, he became Jiang Zhen's right-hand man and the White Paper Fan of the society. At that time, people on the street thought that You Bo was a brain eater.
But later, when You Bo became the leader of the gang, everyone discovered that You Bo was not only a brain eater, but also a skilled warrior, and his skills were no weaker than those red sticks.
This man is old and no longer cares about anything, but he is a smart person. Seeing Lu Yongqiang's embarrassed expression, he immediately guessed what Lu Yongqiang was thinking.
Before Lu Yongqiang could say anything, You Bo spoke again, "Qiangzi, don't get me wrong. It's not that the society wants to interfere with your business. But since the society wants to invest hundreds of millions, they have to send a few people to make a show of it. This is also to shut everyone up.
How to run the business specifically is up to you, Qiangzi. Just reserve manager positions for two branches for the society."
After hearing what You Bo said, Lu Yongqiang had no objection. Even if one or two branches were not doing well, it would not affect the overall situation.
Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "You Bo, you are well-informed. I have discussed this matter with Brother Yao, but Mr. Jiang has not yet agreed to invest. Mr. Jiang has not yet decided whether to invest. It's amazing that you have heard about this before."
"If this thing really does come to fruition, then I'd agree to have the club assign someone to take charge of one or two branches. But since you're the branch manager, you have to be down-to-earth and hardworking. If you try to be cunning or cunning, I won't give you any face."
You Bo didn't stay with Lu Yongqiang for long, about half an hour, and the old man got up and left.
How should I put it? This Yu Bo's visit was somewhat inexplicable, and after the conversation, Lu Yongqiang still didn't understand why the old man was looking for him. After seeing the old man off, Lu Yongqiang was a little confused.
The two of them seemed to have talked a lot, but upon closer inspection, it was all nonsense...
Take the question of asking Lu Yongqiang whether he wanted to be the leader. If you think the old man was joking or testing Lu Yongqiang, the old man was extremely serious when he said it.
But if you think that the old man really wants to push Lu Yongqiang to the position, it doesn't seem like it. After all, the old man didn't insist. He just said it, and after Lu Yongqiang refused, the old man never mentioned it again, let alone persuade Lu Yongqiang.
After that, they discussed the investment in the food city. It seemed that the discussion went well and the two reached a consensus.
But this matter is still uncertain. What's the point of the two reaching a consensus? As long as Jiang Tiansheng doesn't give in, this matter won't be brought to the meeting...
…………
On this day, a woman who looked a little disheveled came to the door of Tong Group. She was beautiful and had a good figure, but her face was haggard and her clothes were a little torn.
The woman paced back and forth anxiously at the gate of Tong Group, wanting to go in, but was stopped by the guard at the door. She wanted to leave, but was unwilling to do so.
Just when the woman was about to explode, a young man in a suit and tie, who looked like a successful man, walked out.
"Bobo, why are you here? Where's Yaxie? Why didn't he come with you?"
The young man coming out of Tong Group is Rosen, and the woman waiting anxiously at the door is Bobo.
Seeing Rosen coming out, Bobo said anxiously: "Asen, why did you just come out? I have something urgent to talk to you about!"
Rosen said, "I was in a meeting just now and my phone was on silent. It just ended and I came out immediately.
Bobo, is there something wrong? Why are you so anxious to see me? "
Bobo said, "Asen, something's happened to Yaxie, you can't just ignore him."
"Something happened?" Rosen asked anxiously, "What happened? Didn't you settle in Singapore? How could something happen?"
Bobo smiled bitterly and said, "Asen, this is a long story. I will explain it to you in detail after it is over. The reason I came to you this time is to borrow money from you."
"Borrow money?" Rosen asked, "How much do you need?"
Bobo hesitated for a moment and said, "30 million Hong Kong dollars."
"30 million Hong Kong dollars?" Rosen exclaimed, "Bobo, what happened? Why do you need so much money?"
Hearing Rosen's question, Bobo wanted to explain in detail, but after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Asen, don't ask me about the specifics. Yaxie will explain it to you later. I'm in urgent need of money right now. Can you lend me 30 million?"
Rosen said in embarrassment: "Bobo, although I am the deputy general manager of Tong's Group, 30 million is not a small amount. I really can't come up with it in a short time."
Hearing Rosen say this, Bobo was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Asen, how much money do you have? And can you borrow some from Miss Tong temporarily? I will definitely find a way to pay Miss Tong back later."
After hearing what Bobo said, Rosen hesitated for a moment and then said, "I have about four million in cash. In addition, I have some stocks and funds. If I cash them out now, I should be able to get three or four million. I also have a house. If I sell it, I can also get four or five million. Adding it all up, I should have twelve or three million.
I can start selling some houses, stocks, and funds right away, and transfer the money to your account the day after tomorrow at the latest.
As for borrowing money from Keren, I can ask for it, but Keren may not lend it to me..."
Before Rosen could finish his words, Bobo said anxiously, "No! There's no time left. I must get the money by tomorrow at the latest.
Ah Sen, please, no matter what, we have to collect 30 million by tomorrow, otherwise Yaxie's life will be in danger."
In his haste, Bobo let the cat out of the bag.
Hearing that Yaxie's life was in danger, Rosen immediately asked, "Bobo, what happened to Yaxie? Tell me everything, otherwise how can I know how to help you?"
Since the secret had already been let out, Bobo could only tell the whole story.
