Chapter 72 A stroke of genius from Liang Kun
"What's the point of buying clothes of such poor quality? Unless you're a sucker, who would buy this kind of stuff?"
Little B, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but utter a complaint.
"Damn it, B, you really have no sense of romance."
"Ma Wangjian, don't you know that Ah B is a married man? He's always been straightforward and doesn't know anything about romance."
""
Ma Wangjian and Liang Ma both looked at Xi B with disdain.
A roughneck is a roughneck, a blockhead.
Liang Kun chuckled and said, "Ah Fan, don't just look after them, my film company also really needs those clothes."
Damn it, how come he never realized Chen Fan was so knowledgeable about relationships between men and women?
It tears so easily; just thinking about it makes him angry.
"Hey Da Sha, we've got some work! Register everyone's orders, and we'll arrange for delivery. Pay later!"
Chen Fan shouted.
Big Fool ran over with a small notebook in his hand.
"Saigon's Big Fool?"
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Holy crap, Afan, you're amazing! You managed to plant your flag in Saigon without a word!"

As a well-known used car dealer in the underworld, Da Sha has sold countless Toyota Hiaces to those underworld bosses. It's not surprising that he can be recognized at a glance. Many of the leaders of Hung Hing have bought cars from him recently.
"Don't get me wrong, Da Sha is my distant cousin. His trucks are having a serious sales slump, so I partnered with him to start a freight company."
"If you need any goods transported, as long as they're not prohibited, feel free to contact him. He can transport people or goods. If you need any equipment, just let him know in advance; we have plenty on the truck!"
While introducing his new business, Chen Fan also took the opportunity to promote it.
Everyone understood what was going on as soon as they heard it.
Like father, like son; like brothers, like tigers.
Chen Fan has finally made it big and is now building his own network to expand his business. Da Sha has connections, money, and territory, but he's been stuck in that small place called Saigon. Now, these two cousins are about to show their fangs!
The demand for tearable lingerie is quite impressive. Sailor suits, 0L outfits, flight attendant outfits, bunny girl outfits, and other costumes are all sold out. Guang Liangkun's film company alone ordered fifty sets of each type, while Ma Wangjian and Liang Ma ordered at least two hundred sets of each type. Other big names who have caught on to this trend have also placed orders.
Since they are consumables, they have to be thrown away after one use, so it's always good to have more on hand.
Little B remained unmoved, while Chicken, who stood like a lackey, was getting increasingly anxious.
Chan Ho-nam and his gang might not be aware of the destructive power of those things, but Chicken was a seasoned player and knew a lot about them!
For his own happiness and for the branch's profits, Chicken steeled himself and approached Little B, whispering, "Brother B, let's order another batch of those clothes right away, guaranteed to make a profit!"
"Chicken, are you out of your mind?" Little B said with a look of disgust. "It tears so easily, it can only be worn once, it's a huge loss, how can we make a profit?"
"Brother B, those are for the girls. We'll offer those clothes as an added-value service for customers to choose from. If they have a great time, they'll definitely want to come back for more. Extending the time is no big deal."
"Wow, Ah B, I didn't expect you to have such talent under you."
Pheasant's words successfully attracted the attention of Pretty Mom and Ma Wangjian.
Being able to see through the ins and outs of this business is enough to show that Pheasant has a great talent for the sex trade.
"Your name is Chicken, right? How about coming to work for me in Sham Shui Po? A talented young man like you, I guarantee you'll be driving a Mercedes-Benz in three months if you come."
"Driving a Mercedes is nothing, Chicken, come to my place, I'll make you feel amazing, you'll be a bridesmaid every night until your legs are sore, and you can be a groom every night without any problem."
"Damn it, Ma Wangjian, you're determined to take it from me, aren't you?"
"Sister-in-law, let's each rely on our own abilities."
Hearing the two arguing, Little B shouted, "Stop! Chicken is my man. Do you two even respect me?"
"Ah B, if you don't want to get rich, don't ruin your subordinates' future."
"That's right, Pheasant is definitely a talent."
"Chicken, it's up to you. As long as you agree, no matter what conditions Ah B proposes, I'll poach you."
Hearing Ma Wangjian interrupt her, the pretty mother glanced at the bewildered Chen Haonan and his three companions, and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'll take your brothers in too!"
Chan Ho-nam and his group aren't bad either; each has their own strengths. With a little training, they could definitely become a hot male escort group.
Chen Fan smiled as he watched the group scramble for the pheasant.
The true gem among the five Rats of Causeway Bay has finally been revealed to the world.
Unfortunately, the way it was revealed was somewhat unexpected.
However, Chen Fan felt a chill just looking at the way the beautiful mother looked at the Five Rats. In the whole of Hung Hing, who didn't know that the beautiful mother had more male prostitutes than thugs under her command?
If you go to work for her, you'll inevitably end up becoming a gigolo.
Of course, any of the male escorts in Sham Shui Po are far wealthier than Chan Ho-nam.
After all, he's served more wealthy women than Chan Ho-nam has ever been in a fight. He can easily spend tens of thousands of dollars, and if he serves them well, they won't have to worry about cars or houses.
In short, if you have good looks, figure, and sexual prowess, you can't go wrong if you want to find a rich woman and a beautiful mother.
In the end, Chicken didn't leave Little B's gang, but Little B did order a batch of the clothes that he had been longing for. There were only twenty sets of each style. It was a small number, but it was enough to excite Chicken.
After the brief interlude, Liang Kun looked around and lowered his voice, asking, "What are your thoughts on the triad meeting the day after tomorrow?"
"Ah Kun, don't tell us you have a grudge against the three Binny Tiger brothers. If you do, we can't help you. The three brothers are all in cahoots and will fight side by side."
Bucky spoke first, keeping the trouble out of his own hands.
The news that the three Han brothers were going to transfer their territory and men to Hung Hing had already spread throughout the entire underworld. Jiang Tiansheng also had the guts to book more than 600 tables for a continuous banquet, just to announce to the whole underworld that Hung Hing was thriving under his leadership.
The transfer of the three Han brothers to the new regime was already voted on at the last meeting.
Liang Kun rolled his eyes. "Nonsense, I just graduated from my advanced studies not long ago. How could I possibly have a grudge against those three brothers?"
"It's good that we have no grudges. These days, harmony brings wealth. The more prosperous Hung Hing is, the more successful our business will be," Da Yu said.
"Hey, my boss is right, harmony brings wealth. Kun, just say what you're thinking."
In public, Chen Fan showed great respect to Da Yu, the powerful figure who had come to him for guidance.
"You all know that my territory in Kowloon City is adjacent to that of Slim Eyes. I also have territory in Yau Ma Tei now. Do you think it would be worthwhile for me to sell my Kowloon City territory to Slim Eyes?"
Liang Kun's seemingly polite question was delivered with an unusually resolute tone.
Clearly, he had already made up his mind.
"Ah Kun, are you really willing to give that up? There's a lot of money to be made at this poultry market."
Little B doesn't quite understand Handsome Kun anymore.
During this period, whenever there was a fight to be had or territory to seize, Liang Kun was always the first to respond.
Now this guy is actually giving up the territory he's already got his hands on; it all seems really strange.
"Once the transfer ceremony is over, the three Han brothers will be our own people in Hung Hing. According to the rules set by Mr. Chiang, there will only be one person in charge of each area."
"Shrimp's territory is in Kowloon City, and he's been established there longer than me. I have territory in Yau Ma Tei, where I can look out for Prince and Ah Fan. Taking over that chicken and duck pen would be a bit of a hindrance to the brothers' development. What's a little sacrifice for Hung Hing?"
Liang Kun put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look.
The last half of the sentence made perfect sense to B, Bucky, and the others!
After all, this wasn't the first time that "Brother Kun" had made such a sacrifice.
Previously, the Aberdeen Fish Market, which Liang Kun had taken back, was in the hands of Ba Ji, and the territory that Liang Kun led his men to seize in Tsim Sha Tsui was in the hands of Gan Zi Tai.
They wouldn't mind taking away another piece of Kowloon City territory to benefit others.
Chen Fan watched Liang Kun's performance quietly.
He knew exactly what this guy was up to.
Jiang Tiansheng promised Han Bin and the other two the positions of regional leaders. To put it bluntly, this was a case of getting something for nothing. The territory belonged to them, and the people were brought by them. Jiang Tiansheng only gave them an empty title and very little other benefit.
On the contrary, the defection of the three Han brothers brought great benefits to Jiang Tiansheng. Hung Hing's strength increased by at least 40%, and the gang became the only top-tier gang in Hong Kong. Jiang Tiansheng could even speak louder to those big shots.
It can be said that Jiang Tiansheng was the biggest beneficiary of this transfer, as he put in little effort but received a high return.
However, at this time, Liang Kun was giving a piece of land to the three Han brothers. This favor was no small matter. In the future, when Liang Kun wanted to compete with Jiang Tiansheng for the top spot, the three Han brothers would find it difficult to stand idly by until the favor was repaid.
The timing of this deal was also very deliberate; all of Hung Hing's ten current leaders, except for Chan Yiu and Fatty Lai, were present.
If Liang Kun brings up this matter himself and it gets spread through these people, everyone who hears it will think that he has a great sense of the big picture, a spirit of great dedication, and impeccable loyalty to the gang.
Most importantly, what Liang Kun did also thwarted Jiang Tiansheng's idea of using that territory for his own purposes. In the future, when the three Han brothers mentioned this territory, the only person they would remember was Liang Kun.
Leung Kwan's move of retreating to advance was absolutely a stroke of genius.
Chen Fan really wanted to see how Jiang Tiansheng would react when he found out that he had shot himself in the foot.
Jiang Tiansheng had been scheming against Liang Kun ever since he fulfilled his promise to give him a piece of land for development; otherwise, he wouldn't have targeted the chicken and duck pen from the very beginning.
It seems this guy wants to use the three Han brothers to wear down Liang Kun, while he maintains the balance in the middle—a classic power balancing act.
Unfortunately, Kwan isn't stupid; now it's Chiang Tin-sang's turn to panic.
At 11 p.m., Jimmy, his face etched with exhaustion and excitement, found Chen Fan.
"Brother Fan, our total revenue from our 20 stores today is 4,706,713 yuan. It's just that we had too many discounts, which drove the prices down too much. Our profit is only 2,270,500 yuan."
Jimmy's face showed a hint of pain.
If the discount is smaller, according to his estimate, the profit should be close to three million.
This doesn't even include the tear-resistant sex toys that Chen Fan approved.
Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, that's a good start. Arrange for someone to compile statistics on the best-selling styles and have the factory produce more based on the adjusted ratio."
The new store opening is still exciting these days, so business will be better. But once the hype dies down, sales will inevitably decrease. So control the production schedule, don't stock up on too much stock, and don't cause any shortages.
"If the next store can earn 30,000 a day, that's considered pretty good."
30,000 a day, that's 900,000 a month, and 18 million across 20 stores.
This is only the theoretical income; the actual income will definitely be discounted.
However, the books can be falsified.
Chen Fan changed the subject, asking, "Jimmy, you know how to handle the shop's revenue, right?"
"Know."
When the topic turned to water, Jimmy naturally understood what Chen Fan was implying.
The factory belongs to them, the clothing store belongs to them, how to keep track of the cash flow is in their hands, and even if the taxes are paid, no one will bother to check each account one by one.
Washing a little money every day can add up to a considerable sum over time.
If a store doesn't make 30,000 a day, it's not difficult to make up the difference. At most, you can just send a few underlings in as customers to pick whatever they want.
Those clothes didn't cost much to produce; they could easily be given as welfare.
"Oh, right, Jimmy, there's something else I need you to do." Chen Fan suddenly remembered something.
"Brother Fan, you said it, I'll remember it."
"Take some time to register a property management company. Have Uncle Da help you with HR. Once the company is registered, collect everyone's information immediately. I need to pay their social security and give them formal employee salaries. Change all the protection fees from those places into property management fees, sanitation fees, and so on."
Chen Fan actually preferred to start a security company directly, but one cannot become fat in one bite. The security company license might be easy to obtain, but obtaining a legal gun license would be much more difficult.
Their identities are still extremely sensitive, making it impossible for them to legally possess firearms. They simply cannot get past the police station hurdle, and even if Wong Bing-Yiu were now the top cop, he wouldn't dare to do so.
After all, if this kind of thing gets out, it will allow gangsters to legally own guns and make money, and the top boss will be skinned alive.
So let's start by setting up a property management company.
It's reasonable for a property management company to equip its security department with riot shields, stab-proof vests, forks, and stun guns, right?
Jimmy's eyes lit up; this property management company seemed to have some potential.
However, paying social security for his younger brother is somewhat novel.
Chen Fan had no intention of explaining.
He had Uncle Da do personnel work, collecting information on his subordinates, in order to identify any potential undercover agents among them.
He now has over two hundred underlings waiting to be promoted, and four or five hundred others who are affiliated with him.
With such a large and diverse team, it was impossible for Chen Fan to identify each individual. Even if he had the time, it would be difficult for him to distinguish between the extras and undercover agents who had never appeared in the films.
Chen Fan had seen the movie "Crouching Tiger". In the movie, the undercover agents were released in batches, a whole bunch of extras.
Chen Fan had heard of the "Renyi Society," which is the main focus of this film. He was unsure whether "Operation Crouching Tiger" had started, but he still needed to be on guard.
He didn't want to be at the peak of his career when a trusted confidant suddenly pulled out a gun and said, "Sorry, I'm a cop."
Everyone in the police force regularly pays social security contributions. Only triads don't have this practice; otherwise, undercover agents would be identified from the start.
Looking across the entire underworld, besides Chen Fan, the only other person who could come up with such a method for identifying undercover agents is probably Fu and Brother Huanxi, a model who rose from undercover agent to gang leader.
Of course, if you encounter an undercover agent like Chen Yongren who was released through irregular procedures, checking labor insurance might not be effective.
After all, Huang Zhicheng, who failed in his career, doesn't seem like the type to provide security for undercover agents. He's a prime example of treating undercover agents like disposable material.
