Chapter 34 Make a living! Lin Zehao showed no sign of weakness, he looked into her eyes and said word by word: "If I didn't consider you as a friend, I wouldn't be here today." "As for the word unscrupulous, I think it is not accurate. It should be more appropriate to use the word righteous and caring." Lin Zehao crossed his legs with a smile on his face. "Loyal and righteous? Do you mean to cause trouble for me?" "Do you think I have lots of free time? I sit in the office with the air conditioner on every day?" Ren Darong smoked angrily, feeling like a punching bag. "What else?" Lin Zehao raised his handsome eyebrows, "You know, the fight in Yau Tsim Mong will start sooner or later." "How can we remain indifferent when Sun Kee loses Yau Ma Tei?" "Even if I don't do anything, do you think Xinji can swallow this?" Ren Darong knew that what Lin Zehao said made sense, but he couldn't help but retort, "If you don't join a club, then nothing will happen."
Lin Zehao glanced at him and asked, "Do you think I want to join a club?" "Or, do most of the gangsters really want to join gangs?" "There are other ways to go, make a living, Sir Ren!" Ren Darong raised his hands in surrender, "I give in. I can't argue with you. Okay?" "In fact, there are many things I can't do. I have superiors above me, and superiors above me have superiors..." "I didn't want it to turn out like this." At this point, Ren Darong sighed, "Since we must fight, then fight beautifully. I hope you will be the winner in the end." As the second-in-command of Organized Crime and Triad Society, he knows very well that Hong Kong Island cannot do without the society. The community has already integrated into Hong Kong society and has penetrated into every aspect of it. From some perspectives, the two have a symbiotic relationship. Let’s take the simplest one, valet parking. Nowadays, all valet parking services in Hong Kong Island are done by gangsters. Without valet parking, society would be in chaos. Hong Kong Island has a population of several million but a very small land area, which naturally leads to an increase in land prices. It can be said that every inch of land is worth a lot of money. This is especially true in prosperous areas. There are so many people and cars, so parking is naturally a big problem. However, high land prices make it impossible for the government to build parking lots on a large scale. With the same amount of land, real estate development would definitely be more profitable. Therefore, the government introduced the parking meter system for temporary roadside parking. A parking meter can be roughly understood as a hitching post. It is a machine placed in a roadside parking space, and each time you insert a coin, you can park for half an hour. Moreover, you cannot insert coins for several hours at a time. You can only wait until the time is up and then insert coins again to extend the time by half an hour. If you fail to operate within the time limit, the police will come and issue a ticket.
One ticket is 360 yuan, and you can be fined another 360 yuan half an hour later, and so on and so forth, endlessly. The problem is, if I drive my girlfriend out to eat, but the parking meter is a bit far from the restaurant. A few hundred meters is completely normal, and if it is a prime location, it may be even farther. Do you have to look at the time after taking a few bites of food, walk over to put in the coins when half an hour is almost up, and then come back to eat? Not only will you be exhausted, but your girlfriend will also look down on you and think you are such a poor bastard who can't even pay the parking fee, and will break up with you directly. So, valet parking came into being. You just need to hand over your car keys to the parking attendant and give a sufficient tip, then you don't have to worry about anything else as someone will be responsible for inserting the coins. After dinner, I will drive the car to the door. Some community parking stalls even offer car wash services. During parking breaks, a dedicated employee will carry a bucket and simply wash the car for an additional fee. Don't underestimate this business. In popular streets in busy areas, many parking meters are never idle and are running around the clock. Even if some people are frugal and don't want to hire valet parking, they can't park their car by themselves. Because the gang members have already occupied all the parking spaces, if you want to park, you can only find them. Ren Darong withdrew his thoughts and looked at Lin Zehao. "Don't worry, I will be the winner." "As long as Yau Tsim Mong is clean, you will be able to relax a lot, so there is no reason for you not to help me." Lin Zehao smiled, his tone full of confidence, his dark eyes filled with a look of contempt for the world. He has been extremely cautious and treading on thin ice for two whole years before he has reached his current position. Therefore, Lin Zehao would never allow himself to fall here! "I know you are different from other gang leaders. You like to find a legitimate job." "I heard that you are currently filming a movie, and you have invited Chow Yun Fat to be the leading actor. It won't be a bad movie, right?" Ren Darong teased for a while, and suddenly he felt a little strange, and said with emotion: "If all the leaders of the gangs in Hong Kong Island were like you, I think the anti-gang group might also be disbanded..." No matter from which angle he looked at it, he couldn't feel any dislike towards Lin Zehao. In fact, some people admire him from the bottom of their hearts. Ask yourself, if you put yourself in Ren Darong's shoes, if he was the leader of Wo Shing Wo, he would not dare to risk the world's condemnation and lead the gang's younger brothers to engage in legitimate business. You could just follow the old ways and make money step by step, so why take such huge risks and obstacles? If you succeed, it's fine. If you fail, there's no way back. Your uncle in the society will not forgive you, your opponent will not forgive you, and even your subordinates will not forgive you. This is a road that no one has ever walked on, and it is also a road full of thorns. Sometimes, Ren Darong really hopes that Lin Zehao can succeed. "Don't praise me so much, Sir Ren. It's easy to be hated."
"I heard that your younger brother just graduated from TVB's actor training class. Why don't he come to my company? I will help him become a star." Lin Zehao waved his hand and changed the subject. Ren Darong thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, I'll ask him later. If he wants to go, it's no problem." "But are you sure you can make my little brother a star? Won't this movie flop at the box office and the company go bankrupt?" Lin Zehao heard Ren Darong's teasing and raised two middle fingers. "Fuck you!" Ren Darong didn't care and also raised his middle finger in response. The two grown men quarreled like children for a while. Lin Zehao looked out the window, then stood up and straightened his suit. "I'm leaving now. Remember to tell your men to stop working, otherwise I won't be able to pay for the medical expenses." Ren Darong waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't worry, they all have work injury insurance, there's so much money up there, it would be a waste if you don't spend it." "Every time I go for a physical examination, I do the most expensive items. I'll ask you to join me next time." Lin Zehao didn't say anything, turned around and walked outside. "Hey, please don't die. My brother is still waiting for you to become a big star." Lin Zehao didn't even turn his head, but just raised his right hand high and raised his middle finger.
