Brother Ji awkwardly touched his nose.
"Mr. Jiang, business is tough these days."
"Excuse!"
Jiang Tianyang pointed at Brother Ji while holding a cigar.
"Business is never hard. It's been the same all these years. Don't spout nonsense. Is business really that difficult? I've been in business for so many years. I know better than anyone how hard it is. Sometimes you should look for the reasons within yourself. How hard can it be for gangsters to do business? Think about whether your territory has grown or not over the years, and whether you've been diligently collecting protection money. I think you just like playing around with girls!"
"Hehe! It's just a personal hobby, nothing to brag about."
"I wasn't praising you!"
Jiang Tianyang then pointed at the fat man Li who was picking his toes.
"And you, Fatty Lai, fine, you're going to shoot erotic magazines, but what's with all this coercing decent women to shoot magazines? Luckily no one got killed, otherwise I'd be the first to take action against Hung Hing."
"Prince!"
The prince, sitting cross-legged on the chair, looked at Jiang Tianyang with a puzzled expression. What business is it of mine?
“Prince, Tsim Sha Tsui is your territory with the most underlings. You can do whatever you want, but can you stop thinking about boxing and fighting all the time? You're a gangster, not an athlete.”
The prince rubbed his head.
"Brother, you know me. I'm devoted to martial arts, using no way as way, and the limitless as the finite..."
"Shut up~"
Jiang Tianyang rubbed his temples.
They're all a bunch of guys who don't know how to improve. Chiang Tin-sang's own business is doing quite well, but the gang's business is just so-so. You could say the gang is just a tool for his own business development.
No, reform is needed.
"Let's skip this quarter. It's almost the end of the year. Starting next year, all of your submissions will increase by 10% annually."
“Mr. Jiang, isn’t this a bit too big a step?” Chen Yao offered his opinion.
Dafei also picked his nose.
"Exactly, it's easy to get into trouble."
Brother Ji looked miserable. Among the leaders of Hongxing Hall, he was the one who made the least money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have partnered with Smiling Tiger to open a bar in the first place.
“Mr. Jiang, I can’t do it.”
"If you can't do it, then step down. There are plenty of people who can!" Jiang Tianyang glared at Brother Ji.
"Hey! You're chatting!"
When Brother Ji saw Wang Taiyi arrive, he was overjoyed. "Yeah, I still have my rich buddy Taiyi. I can follow him around."
When Dafei saw Lao Wang, he quickly pulled his finger out of his nostril and wiped it on Ji Ge next to him. Fatty Li also quietly put on his shoes.
"Grandma is here."
Jiang Tianyang felt much better when he saw Wang Taiyi arrive. He felt that the businessman Wang Taiyi had something in common with him. Although Han Bin was also good, most of the businesses Han Bin did were illegal.
"Someone, bring a chair for Grandma."
Jiang Tianyang pointed to the seat next to him.
This scene sent a chill down Chen Yaoxin's spine, and Chen Haonan also felt uneasy. What happened to the promised rightful henchman? Had he fallen out of favor? Is this what they mean by "one leader, one subordinate"?
After a few perfunctory words of politeness, Wang Taiyi sat down.
What are you all talking about?
"It's just business stuff. By the way, Auntie, do you have any opinions? Hongxing's business is too simplistic now, it's still the same old thing. Society is progressing, and the survival space for these traditional illegal businesses will only get smaller and smaller."
Chiang Tin-yeung was insightful; he knew that the underworld had no future unless it could grow to the size of the Yakuza or the Mafia, but unfortunately, that was impossible in Hong Kong.
Wang Taiyi took out a lighter and lit a cigarette.
Jiang Tianyang's eye twitched. Ah Tai's lighter looked so familiar. It looked just like the one he lost last night. Could it be... no, it must have been a coincidence.
"Yes, the competition is fierce now. In the past, selling flour was as simple as putting it in a bag, but now I hear there are people who dry flour and make it into brick-like shapes for easy carrying. Even loan sharks are starting to understand some financial knowledge. We really need to improve. If we keep sticking to this little corner of the market without making any progress, we will be eliminated by society."
Wang Taiyi took a drag of his cigarette.
"Hu~~"
"Therefore, we must explore new fields and not rely on our past achievements."
"Snapped!"
Jiang Tianyang slapped his thigh.
"Yes, that's what I meant too. But I'm not familiar with the local business district yet since I just got back. I need to learn and get used to it for a while. The business world needs someone like you, Ah Tai, to step in. Tell me what your thoughts are, and we can discuss them together. I'm sure you'll have some brilliant ideas."
"What do you mean by this?" Old Wang's face darkened.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Jiang Tianyang frowned. What's going on? Weren't we having a good discussion? Why the sudden change of attitude? Did they give him too much face?
......
Chapter 143 Transformation
No one knew what was wrong with Wang Taiyi, this lunatic, and why he suddenly changed his expression. Some were concerned, while others were secretly amused, especially Fatty Li, who hoped that Wang Taiyi would go crazy and beat up Jiang Tianyang. Chen Yao and Chen Haonan were also a little expectant.
"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by this?!"
Wang Taiyi seemed very angry.
"What do you mean by saying that business is all up to me? That's ridiculous and outrageous. Mr. Jiang, you are clearly a business genius yourself, so why are you saying you're all up to me? If you want to shirk your responsibilities, just say so. You can solve things yourself in a short time, but you make us, who are not as good as you, waste our time and effort. What kind of nonsense is that?"
"Hu~~"
"Furthermore, what do you mean by 'what ideas do I have'? Do my ideas matter? Even if I have some immature little ideas, don't I still need Mr. Jiang to revise them? I'm a straightforward person. We're all people of the martial arts world, why do we need to be so hypocritical and fake polite like businessmen and politicians?"
"This……"
Jiang Tianyang was stunned. What was this inexplicable feeling of pleasure?
"Grandma, I..." Jiang Tianyang didn't know what to say for a moment. His grandma was too blunt and easily offended people.
“That’s right! The speed of a train depends on the locomotive, and everything depends on your oversight, Mr. Jiang.” Before Jiang Tianyang could say anything, Wang Taiyi immediately chimed in.
"Ah I……"
"That's what I think too. You're the one at the helm."
"But……"
"Hey~ I'm not happy with what you said. Although our Hongxing has a pervert like Brother Ji who doesn't know how to improve and a scoundrel like Fatty Li who has no bottom line... But now that you're here, everything will be alright. With you here, a glorious future is coming!"
"These words..."
"What's wrong with what you said? Where is there anything wrong with it? Everyone has the right to tell the truth!"
"Go away! Go away! Go away! That's an exaggeration."
"Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm~ I'm keeping a low profile."
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Tianyang laughed heartily. "Ah Tai is a really good person. He's a true confidant. He's rich, capable, and loves to speak the truth. It's a waste of his talents for him to stay at Hongxing."
Everyone was stunned, their skin crawling. Was this a new way of flattering someone? So profound, so hard to understand!
Jiang Tianyang patted Wang Taiyi on the shoulder.
"You know, you're too blunt and easily offend people. You need to be more careful in the future. Okay, I admit I was wrong about this. Now, tell me your opinion on Hongxing's development. Feel free to speak your mind, I'm listening."
The way everyone was talking sounded like a big boss standing up for his underling, like, "Tell me, who bullied you? You hit them back! I'll see who dares to fight back right now!"
What? Aren't we on the same side?
"Alright, let me share my insights."
Wang Taiyi crossed his legs.
"There is no war in the world now, of course! I mean large-scale wars, after all, as long as there are Americans and Jews on Earth, there can be no war."
“Especially in our motherland, when life is better and there is no hunger, what will people pursue? ... Of course, it's enjoyment, whether physical or spiritual.”
Fatty Li, shaking his leg, said disdainfully:
"We're not hungry yet. The north is so poor. I've heard people are starving to death there, and there are bandits too."
"Snapped!"
Wang Taiyi smashed a teacup on Fatty Li's head.
Fat Lai is probably a Hong Kong separatist. He doesn't even know about the existence of the true god Yuan Shi Tian Zun. No, we need to make some arrangements for this guy.
Before Wang Taiyi could speak, Jiang Tianyang launched into a tirade against Fatty Li.
"Shut up! We're in a meeting. Did you get a chance to speak? Grandma, please continue."
Wang Taiyi glared at Fatty Li and continued:
