"You inform Tiger Dami and Aji!"
Chapter 643 Get Him Out of the Game
"From now on, mark all chambers of commerce, venues, organizations, and projects that have had contact with Matsui as 'gray zones'!"
"All cooperation in all gray zone areas is suspended starting tomorrow!"
"Cooperation funds frozen, distribution channels shut down, and accounts receivable recovered!"
"If anyone asks, just tell them that Tung Sing doesn't play these kinds of games with the Yamaguchi-gumi!"
"Anyone who wants to keep playing around, don't blame us for getting serious!"
"This isn't a retaliation, it's the rule!"
"June 47"
"Our rule at Tung Sing is that we don't allow others to use our enemies to do business!"
Hong Wentong nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
That evening, Hengmei and his men sealed off an office building in Wanbei called "Jinlu Cultural and Creative Industry," which was the "cultural investment liaison point" that Matsui had visited.
In the early hours of the next day, Lei Yaoyang shut down a media company in Wannan, claiming it was for "accounting checks," but in reality, he sealed off the building and arrested all the "cooperation consultants" who were using Matsui's name.
At noon, Tiger Dami and his men blocked the meeting of a joint chamber of commerce in Central. The reason was that two of them were trying to launch a joint initiative for the "Hong Kong Island Multicultural Industry Alliance", and the funding for that initiative came from Matsui's Toyo Capital.
The entire operation was conducted without a single shot fired or a single word uttered.
But everyone saw it—Dongxing's word was just that—words.
No matter what kind of shell you use, as long as you have the Tojo Yamaji branch behind you, don't expect to leave a single nail in Hong Kong Island.
Matsui quickly realized that he was being "targeted".
He attempted to send some "misunderstanding" signals through the media, saying that "Oriental Capital is willing to cooperate with all organizations," "the cultural industry should not be mixed with underground struggles," and "Hong Kong Island needs diversified development."
To Dongxing, these words sounded like a dog barking.
After reading those paragraphs, Xu Lang threw the tablet aside.
I don't talk to dogs!
"If they really want to play with culture, then let them see what Hong Kong Island's 'local culture' is all about!"
"Our men earned their reputation through sheer hard work and fighting on the streets!"
"Their figures were drawn one by one on sheets of paper inside the house!"
"I don't care how many drawings they made, I'll tear them up one by one!"
"Let him keep spouting nonsense, the more the better!"
"The more justified I am, the more reason I have to take over all the agency companies under his name, one by one!"
"I'm not afraid of being called autocratic, I am autocratic!"
"Anyone who disagrees, come and try!"
Meanwhile, Aji also made a move...
He approached three local small conglomerates that had connections with Matsui, visiting them one by one, each time saying only one sentence: "Withdraw now, and Tung Sing won't pursue you; continue the cooperation, and we'll recruit people tomorrow!"
Of the three conglomerates, two issued statements that day to terminate their negotiations with Toyo Capital, while the third held out for three days. However, a batch of smuggled spices and irregularities in the accounts were discovered in the warehouse, causing immediate panic, and the chairman fled overnight.
No one dared to answer Matsui's calls anymore.
On the afternoon of the third day, Matsui left from Hong Kong Island Airport without even a farewell ceremony.
The attempt by the Tojoyama branch was completely crushed.
Xu Lang didn't show up once, nor did he say a single harsh word.
But everyone in the underground world knows that as long as he's still sitting in that chair at the headquarters, there's no other voice in Hong Kong.
This is not an empty reputation; it is a silence earned through more than 4.0 years of bloodshed.
It's not that we're afraid, it's that no one dares not be afraid.
And even bigger moves are yet to come.
Xu Lang knew that although Hong Kong Island was temporarily under control, those envious people outside were far from giving up.
What he needs to do now is—continue to suppress it.
Not only do they suppress them to the point of not daring to move, but they also suppress them to the point of not daring to even think about it.
Chapter 644 Listen to Me
This is the Dongxing way.
This is Xu Lang's throne.
Four days after Matsui left, the triad circles on Hong Kong Island began to stir again.
This time it's not a newly emerging, wild organization like the Red Wolf Society, nor is it a revitalized old brand like the Heavenly Dragon Society. Instead, it's the remnants of old gangs that were active in the underground scene in their early years, but later withdrew from open struggles and went overseas to invest.
They had been hiding outside for many years, and in recent years they have gradually returned, but they have always been very cautious and almost never participate in any gang conflicts.
But now, they've moved.
There's only one reason—they saw that Xu Lang was acting too aggressively.
How ruthless were they? So ruthless that even places in Central that no one had dared to touch for so many years were thoroughly searched by Tung Sing. They denied all previous agreements with anyone, whose name they had used, and what resource connections they had established.
They only acknowledge the debts, the contract, and the seal of Dongxing.
Those old triads knew that if things continued this way, once Tung Sing had swept through Hong Kong Island, their next step would be to purge empty shell gangs like theirs that had "left in the early years."
They used to be able to get some resources on the outskirts of Hong Kong Island by relying on their "seniority" and "prestige," but now that Xu Lang has set these rules, they are nothing.
So they began to take action.
Their methods differ from those of the Red Wolf Society; they are not violent, do not set up stalls, and do not tamper with territory.
They took the funding route, quietly injecting capital into some peripheral projects in China, packaging themselves as "overseas resource integrators," and starting to get close to, contact, and recruit people from some of the partner companies under Dongxing's name.
They were very selective, avoiding the main business and the industries directly managed by people like Lei Yaoyang and Wang Jianjun. Instead, they focused on peripheral businesses—such as secondary contracting of logistics, revenue sharing chains for entertainment projects, or leasing relationships for transit warehouses.
These points, to put it mildly, are called skirting the edge of legality; to put it bluntly, they are a new form of infiltration.
When Hong Wentong entered Xu Lang's office with the documents, his face was very grim.
"Brother Lang, they don't come out directly, but they're all just going around in circles trying to cause trouble!"
"This information was found by Ah-Ji's side. There are at least eight companies that have had financial transactions with four old triads in the past month!"
"On the surface, it appears to be lending, investment, trusteeship, and capital increase, but after checking the accounts, it was found that the other party was an empty shell, and the money disappeared as soon as it was transferred!"
"This isn't cooperation; it's a shady scheme!"
Xu Lang sat behind his desk. His cup of tea had gone cold, but he didn't bother to replace it.
He didn't speak immediately, but stared at the map on the table for a long time.
He had seen these people before.
When Hong Kong Island was in chaos, many of these old triads either went to sea, fled, or pretended to be deaf and dumb, letting the gangs fight to the death while they just stayed on the sidelines to make a living and never got involved.
But once the situation settles down, they will transform themselves again, using the names of "returning to roots," "reorganization," and "inheritance" to start picking up people, money, and markets.
These people are the old foxes who are used to hiding.
If you make a move against them, they'll shrink away and disappear; if you don't move, they'll come up with a new idea every day, causing chaos in the underground community.
“They’re trying to build another shell to block our hands!” Xu Lang said.
"They were able to hide before because there was no force in Hong Kong that could completely shut them down."
Everyone, leave a way out, give them a chance to survive!
"But it's different now!"
"Dongxing never leaves any loopholes; leaving a loophole means leaving room for future trouble!"
He stood up as soon as he finished speaking.
"You tell Hengmei that, starting today, all companies, locations, and projects found to have received unexplained investment should be marked with a 'gray label'!"
Chapter 645 Not Giving an inch
"We don't care whether the money is clean or laundered; if there's a problem with where it's going, all cooperation will be suspended and all accounts will be sealed!"
"Have Ah-Ji keep an eye on them. Record who is in contact with these companies and who is speaking up for them!"
"What we want is not bribery, but a complete break!"
"Let them hide if they want, but from now on, those who hide are essentially stepping forward to admit it!"
"Inform Tiger Dami again to hold an integration meeting in three days and call all the heads of the chambers of commerce that have been brought under the management of Dongxing!"
“We’ll talk to them face-to-face one by one. Anyone who doesn’t sign an agreement, doesn’t follow the procedures, or doesn’t cooperate with payment will be removed from the resource chain!”
"They want to bet on both sides, so don't blame us for cutting off one side!"
After listening, Hong Wentong made arrangements immediately without hesitation.
Over the next two days, a series of changes occurred across various business lines in Hong Kong Island.
Dongxing proactively cut off the funding chains of thirteen partner companies, suspended the operation of five logistics points, and terminated the outsourcing bidding process for eight sub-projects.
These actions were carried out without announcement or explanation, all behind the scenes, so fast that people couldn't react in time.
Many people woke up the next day to find their accounts frozen, supply contracts canceled, and their businesses temporarily shut down.
No one dared to cause trouble.
Because everyone knows that this is the "Dongxing Model".
It wasn't negotiation, nor was it a warning; it was direct execution.
Just when everyone was in a state of panic, the integration meeting convened by Tiger Dami was held as scheduled.
The location was a clubhouse in the North District of Hong Kong Island. The venue was small, but it was an "inner area" that Tung Sing had taken over and renovated in its early years and had never been open to the public.
This time, all chamber of commerce leaders, subsidiary representatives, secondary shareholders, and external distributors who have a cooperative relationship with Dongxing must be present.
There were fifty-seven people in total.
