A muffled thunder fell, and the weather became darker.
Da Daoxiong, Chen Jinlong, and Chen Jinhu, the three "double-flowered red sticks" and their five hundred brothers seeking a living at the wharf, stood menacingly on the east side of the wharf.
At the other end, a tough man with a beard and a sinewy face was wearing a black Tang shirt, with his arms open and a sharp bone-picking knife in his arms. He stepped on the sack with one foot and spat viciously on the ground.
.
"I'm talking to Big Boss, I, Beard Yong, have come here with the Hutchison brothers to take over the dock. You can just pack up and get out. What do you mean by blocking here and not letting us pass?" Behind Beard, there are almost 500 people.
, both sides are evenly matched.
"Hushu Yong, what do you mean by bringing the Hutchison troops here without saying hello? You clearly want to seize our dock and destroy our jobs!" Daoshengxiong was not weak in his aura and scolded Hushu Yong.
"Tsk, tsk, Daoxiong, don't think that if you have a loud voice, you are a boss! You don't even look at the situation, what is the situation now!" Hu Xueyong curled his lips with disdain.
"Your boss, Mr. Ding, is too old and incompetent to keep this dock! As for you, not to mention, how many of your subordinates are capable of fighting? You can't even have enough food in your stomach, and you still have to fight!"
"It's better than this. I, Huxu Yong, will show mercy. All of you from Hongyihai will join us in Heji. Maybe we can still fill our stomachs. How about you consider my suggestion?"
This time I didn’t wait for Daeshengxiong to say anything-----
"Pu, your mother! I think you are a ghost!" Chen Jinlong and Chen Jinhu, who were standing behind Daoxiong, were furious.
"How sharp are you and Ji? Last time you brought people to our territory to look for trouble, weren't we beaten back?"
The brothers Chen Jinlong and Chen Jinhu have the most say, because the last time they fought against Hu Yong, it was also the battle that made them famous in the red stick.
Beard Yong looked at his former enemy, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. He picked out his ears and blew on his fingertips, "So it was you two who jumped on the street. Why, you're not dead yet? That's right, I lost last time.
But I decided to withdraw my troops because your Lord Ding is about to celebrate his sixtieth birthday! This will prevent him from having to prepare a coffin for you when he celebrates his birthday!"
The Chen brothers still wanted to yell, but they were stopped by Daoshengxiong. Daandaoxiong took two steps forward and stood only about two meters away from Hushu Yong. He stared at him and said: "Hushu Yong, if you want to hit me, hit him. That's what I said."
What's the use? Even if my head falls to the ground this time, I won't even blink!"
Hu Xiu Yong put his right foot down from the sack, straightened up slowly, looked at Dao Daoxiong with his wolf-like eyes, and suddenly laughed: "Wow, I suddenly feel so scared. Why? Because you have three double bonuses over there.
Sticks! There are so many red sticks. If you poke them, they will insert them. Even the most senior temple street lady or the street chicken can't stand it!"
"Hahaha!" The Hutchison brothers behind Hu Yong all laughed.
"So what's the point of having so many red sticks? They're useless against women. But against our Hutchison brothers, they can only be used as toothpicks!" Beard Yong said with contempt in his eyes.
"Pushing, what did you say?" Daeshengxiong was furious.
Before Daoxiong and the others could take action, Huziyong took a step back bravely, pointed at the Daoxiong crowd and said, "Hey, don't take action yet! I, Huziyong, am here to reason with you today! You all know that this time at Wan Chai Pier
To engage in bidding, we Hutchison have already paid a deposit of 500,000 yuan!"
Beard Yong stretched out his hand and shook it in front of everyone, "As for you, if you want to keep the pier, don't think about starting a fight yet, just come up with 500,000!"
Da Daoxiong, Chen Jinlong, Chen Jinhu and others looked at each other in shock, and the group of brothers behind them even lost their morale.
…
It turns out that the shipping company under the Xu Group had notified Zhang Jiuding, the boss of Hong Yihai, that Mr. Xu was going to conduct a bidding process. If Hong Yihai still wanted to keep the dock, he must first put up 500,000 Hong Kong dollars as a bidding deposit.
Who is Lord Ding?
As I get older, I have long lost the heroic spirit I once had.
Especially taking out 500,000 yuan at once made him feel even more painful. Although it was a deposit, what if it was wasted?
That's his coffin book!
Mr. Ding is unwilling to pay to keep the pier. On the one hand, he is stingy, and on the other hand, the current profits of Wanchai pier are not high.
In the past, Hong Yihai could still make seven or eight hundred thousand a year by guarding the docks. Now more and more docks are being built. Excluding the salary expenses of Hong Yihai's brothers, Ding Ye can hardly make any money every year.
On the contrary, Hutchison was eyeing the Wan Chai Pier because Hutchison had no intention of making clean money from working as a coolie. Instead, it wanted to use the wharf to secretly engage in smuggling business, smuggling cars and smuggling home appliances, with extremely high profits.
In this way, Master Ding had a dispensable attitude towards Wanchai Pier, regardless of the life and death of Hong Yihai's three thousand brothers, unwilling to spend a penny to guard the terminal, and pretended to be deaf and dumb in the face of Xu's company's bid.
On the opposite side, Hutchison spent money and effort, pressing hard against Daoxiang and others, and it was inevitable to win the Wan Chai Pier.
At this time, Da Daoxiong, Chen Jinlong, Chen Jinhu and others were in extremely difficult situations.
Most of them were from Hongyihai, and their families all ate at the dock.
If you lose your dock, you will lose your job, and your whole family will starve to death on the streets.
Not to mention, if Hong Yihai really loses the pier this time, their association will be looked down upon even more in the whole of Xiangjiang. As a Hong Yihai person, he will be unable to hold his head high for the rest of his life!
It can be said that Daeshengxiong and the others are not afraid of fighting!
Since the establishment of Hong Yihai, no one has been photographed to death!
The problem is that if they don’t fight, they will throw money at them!
Half a million!
If Mr. Ding doesn't take action, Hong Yihai will have a problem!
Even if Daeshengxiong and others pawned their pants, they still wouldn’t be able to raise 500,000 yuan!
…
No matter what, let’s hold on to the dock first!
Daeshengxiong gritted his teeth, glared angrily, pointed at his beard and said, "Have you finished speaking? Those words just now were all said by you yourself, only a ghost can believe it!"
"Yeah, what five hundred thousand? I think you are talking nonsense!" Chen Jinhu also shouted.
"I can't bear it anymore. If you dare, hit me! Let our subordinates see the truth!" Chen Jinlong said with a straight face and a fierce look in his eyes.
Beard Yong picked his fingers, flicked them, and smiled: "You guys, you guys, really think that I am as stupid as you because I have a beard? I am a reasonable person now!" After saying that, he clapped his hands and said, "Come on.
, Death Mingkun, Mao Shiqiang, go ask Master Xu’s secretary to come up and ask him to say a few words for everyone!”
Following the voice of the conversation, everyone behind Huzi Yong automatically moved out of the way, and a gentle-looking man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked up surrounded by two big men.
The man glanced at the crowd with a trace of disgust in his eyes. He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, took out his handkerchief and covered his nose, and said to Beard Yong: "Why does it smell so bad here? It's so dirty!"
Hu Xiuyong was showing off his power in front of everyone just now, but when he saw the gold-rimmed glasses, he looked flattering, nodded and bowed and said: "I'm sorry, Secretary Wei, this place is already very dirty! These people in Hong Yihai don't like to be clean, and they don't take baths either! You
Don’t worry, if I take over the dock in the future, I promise to clean it up!”
Only then did the gold-rimmed man snort, look at the Daoshengxiong crowd with disdain, put down the handkerchief covering his nose, and said: "My name is Charlie Wei, and I am Mr. Xu Shijian's personal secretary. I am here tonight to inform you,
The Wan Chai Pier bidding is still -----"
Charlie Wei lowered his head, rolled up the cuff of his left hand, looked at the solid gold Rolex watch on his wrist, raised his head and said: "There is still half an hour to be exact! In other words, you only have thirty minutes to raise money now. If you don't raise enough, it will be five minutes."
One hundred thousand means giving up Wan Chai Pier automatically!"
"What? Half an hour left?"
"Fifty thousand, how can I get it together?"
"It's over now, the pier is going to be lost!"
Everyone in the loud voice is like a mourner. If they lose the dock, they will lose their jobs. There are thousands of people, what are they going to eat and drink?
Bearded Yong was now proud and sarcastically mocked everyone in Hong Yihai: "Don't you, Hong Yihai, claim to have three thousand armored soldiers? Then chip in the money. Each person only needs to chip in 10 yuan, which is 30,000 yuan! If each person scrapes together 100 yuan,
That’s 300,000! If you grit your teeth and scrape together some more, you might be able to get 500,000!”
Faced with Hu Hu Yong's sarcasm and ridicule, Da Daoxiong, Chen Jinlong and others were helpless. This time Hong Yihai's face was stepped on in the mud!
Charlie Wei looked at the chaotic crowd, frowned in disgust again, covered his nose again with a handkerchief and said: "Okay, okay, it looks like you can't raise enough money, I still have things to do, let's go first!"
Seeing that Charlie Wei is about to leave, this departure is equivalent to the final word. Hu Yong officially takes over the terminal on behalf of Hutchison!
At this moment, a voice said: "Wait a minute, half a million? I have it!"
