Chapter 47 I promise to bring all the materials.
Today is October 10th.
Three days later, on October 13th, the 10th day of the eighth lunar month, is Fat Lao Kun's birthday.
At that time, people of all ranks in Hong Kong, both the underworld and legitimate society, will either be invited or will come to his birthday banquet.
Detective Lui Lok from Sham Shui Po will also appear, because his father-in-law, Partridge, is not only of the same generation as Fat Man Kwan, but they are also both shrewd (intelligent) people.
During their youth and middle age, the two transformed from street thugs into behind-the-scenes smugglers of illicit wealth.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Partridge and Fat Kun are good friends. Wu Shih-hao and Lei Luo got to know each other at last year's birthday banquet.
Wu Shih-hao planned to use this birthday banquet to introduce Lei Luo to Lin Yuan-shan.
After discussing the plan with Lin Yuanshan, Wu Shihao confidently patted his chest and said, "Yuanshan, I will also be helping Uncle Kun greet the guests that day, so the opening will be quite busy."
Go sit at a table with Awen and Awu. As long as you don't actively seek out people to chat with, usually no one will notice you.
Even if some other江湖人 (jianghu people) are foolish enough to try and mess with you, Awen and his team will help you deal with them!
"Once the banquet is almost over, I'll find another opportunity to take you to see Brother Luo."
Lin Yuanshan blinked: "Okay, how about we give you a 200 yuan red envelope as a favor?"
"No need! Just blend in with our group and bring your mouth to eat and drink." Wu Shih-hao waved his hand, speaking of freeloading with a sense of righteous indignation.
……
After settling their business, Lin Yuanshan took Tie Tou away from the lottery stall and returned to Yuanshan Plastics Factory.
First go to Biandanweituo, then find Wu Shih-hao.
The round trip, covering the three locations and including the conversation time, took about three hours.
Even during this time, the advisor sent someone to inform Shen Da Hui that Wei Ge had reached an agreement with Da Shui Hou.
Ah Rong, who remained at the factory, still looked like he was guarding against thieves, holding a large wrench and standing guard at the door, refusing to let anyone in.
The reason Shen Da Hui got this nickname is because of his somewhat eccentric personality.
Knowing that Ah Rong was the factory manager hired by Lin Yuanshan, Shen Da Hui would definitely not resort to violence to hurt him.
Yet this top henchman of a powerful gang was stopped at the gate of his sugar daddy's factory, without even a bench to sit on.
Shen Da Hui was bored for a long time, so he started to talk nonsense.
One moment he's making veiled attacks, mocking a certain cripple for overestimating himself, the next he's directly challenging Ah Rong to a one-on-one duel.
Sigh, that's how gangsters are; they're all about saving face.
As soon as Lin Yuanshan got off the rickshaw and walked into the alley, he saw Ah Rong standing pitifully on the threshold, his face pale and his legs trembling.
As for Shen Da Hui, this scoundrel stood shirtless at the factory gate, showing off his muscular physique, striking the pose of a bodybuilder.
The group of thugs he brought were yelling and clapping.
They probably knew these people weren't there to cause trouble; many people from nearby factories and workshops stood under the eaves watching the spectacle.
In other words, the alley is small, but there is a wide open space.
Today's spectacle has probably drawn even more onlookers than when the Big Banyan Tree in Temple Street sang the Saltwater Song.
"Brother Tie Tou, clear the area." Lin Yuanshan couldn't stand it anymore and waved to Tie Tou.
Tie Tou grunted, strode forward, stretched out his two strong arms, and forcefully pushed apart the wall of people: "Disperse, disperse, disperse, doesn't anyone have to work?"
Damn it, the road is completely blocked...
Upon hearing Tie Tou's voice, Shen Da Hui quickly put on his T-shirt and stood obediently to the side.
After Tie Tou dispersed the crowd, Lin Yuanshan walked up to Shen Da Hui with a playful expression: "Tsk tsk, not bad physique. Need me to introduce you to some brothels in Apliu Street?"
"No need! No need! Mr. Lin, Ah Rong and I were just joking around." Shen Da Hui looked embarrassed and waved his hand while giving Ah Rong a meaningful look.
Since Ah Rong became lame, he has become accustomed to the cold stares of others.
He thought to himself that although this god-like creature was a bit cheeky, it was indeed playing a prank on him.
They were worried that this small matter would cause a rift between Lin Yuanshan and Biandanwei.
Ah Rong quickly stepped in to defuse the situation: "Young Master Yuan, Brother Hui is right. We were just bored and fooling around."
"Hmph, the two of them are almost seventy years old combined, and they're still joking around!" Lin Yuanshan glared at Shen Dahui and walked into the factory: "Aren't you going to get in here?"
"If you dare to do this kind of nonsense at the factory gate again, I'll have Ah Wei open a bar called 'Apliu Bar' just for you in Shek Kip Mei."
Shen Da Hui glanced gratefully at Ah Rong, then chuckled and walked in: "Not at all! Mr. Lin, an hour ago, the advisor Ming sent someone to deliver a red envelope, saying it was a lucky money gift from you..."
"Alright, alright, getting a red envelope won't shut you up!" Lin Yuanshan was annoyed by the noise and called Ah Rong over: "From today onwards, if the factory needs any manual labor, just tell them to do it. Also, for the staff to be hired, besides the four assembly line workers, the others will be selected from this group."
After giving Ah Rong his instructions, Lin Yuanshan took out a cigarette, knocked one out, and handed it to Shen Dahui: "You over here, pick out six clever underlings."
Tell them the factory can temporarily offer three positions, with a monthly salary of 100 yuan. Those willing to accept a comfortable life should learn from Ah Rong; the three best performers will be hired after a week.
When the conversation turned to serious matters, Shen Da Hui immediately stopped joking around.
He took the cigarette and looked at Lin Yuanshan seriously: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, you have a stable salary, and there are plenty of brothers in the gang who are vying to take this secure job."
To put it bluntly, if you can earn a living, who the hell wants to risk their life to survive?
"Yes, you tell the others."
I'll still have a job, even if I don't get selected this time, or I don't even get a chance to be selected.
"After a while, I'll find a place for everyone to work. Don't let the momentary competition damage the bond between fellow disciples." Lin Yuanshan patted Shen Dahui on the shoulder, then suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Arong is going to buy 10 tons of waste material later."
If you have nothing better to do, bring someone to accompany him.
As for the brothers who did the loading and unloading today, their wages will be calculated based on the number of taels issued at the dock. You and Ah Rong can discuss how many taels it will be worth and how much they should be paid.
Dock tally sticks were bamboo tallies used by laborers at the Hong Kong docks to count the number of loads and unloads of goods. They were also called labor tally sticks or simply tally sticks.
The person in charge of issuing the tickets, also known as the ticket collector, would use the tickets to collect the daily wages at the end of the workday.
Upon hearing that there was work to be done, Shen Da Hui was overjoyed and stepped forward to put his arm around A Rong's shoulder: "Good, good, good! Mr. Lin, you can rest assured that I will take care of things. I promise to bring a group of brothers and work well with Brother A Rong to carry back all the waste materials that the factory needs."
"Okay, go ahead, it's almost four o'clock."
"If you hadn't suddenly come over at noon, Ah Rong would have already bought the materials." Lin Yuanshan pointed to the door and said to Shen Da Hui with disdain, "Perhaps by now, the first batch of waste materials has already been cleaned, sorted, and put into the shredder."
