Chapter 67 This kid's taken a big turn for the better!
After deducting the 15 million that needed to be given to the triad, Chen Fan also had someone send 500,000 to other branches as a token of appreciation.
After all, all these gangs took action against Sun Kee last night. Although Chiang Tin-sang was partly responsible, he did share the pressure from Sun Kee.
This money can be saved, but it's unnecessary, since the money is all "sponsored" by Xinji anyway.
Using someone else's resources to cultivate good relationships can also benefit oneself.
After deducting several times, Chen Fan still had a little over 30 million left.
Jiang Tiansheng?
This guy, the head of a prestigious gang, should look down on these paltry sums.
Chen Fan didn't count his share either.
If you're really going to give this guy 30 million, you should at least take out two-thirds of it, otherwise it's pointless.
Twenty million is very important to Chen Fan. At worst, when he shows Jiang Tiansheng the "Crow Warning" in the future, he will sponsor Brother Crow with a "hundred million" of good stuff so that Jiang Tiansheng can have a grand show.
After returning to Tuodi with the money, Chen Fan called over several key members, including Ahua, Feiji, Dongguanzi, Wuying, and Cao Dahua.
When they entered, they all saw a large bag full of golden bulls.
"Wow, we're rich!" Cao Dahua exclaimed.
This was the first time he had ever seen so much money; he estimated it to be at least 20 million!
Ah Hua and Fei Ji remained calm; they had seen millions of US dollars before, so this amount of Hong Kong dollars was nothing to them.
But Dongguan boy is different. He's only been in the group for a short time, and his eyes are already glued to money.
As for flies?
This guy isn't very interested in money, but he's very interested in getting ahead.
"I told you last night that if you two capture prisoners, you can have 30% of the ransom."
"Before we distribute the money, I want to emphasize once again that the ransom should be reported in the same way: the ransom for one of the leaders of Xinji is 12 million, and the other scoundrels are packaged together for 20 million. This is to save face for Xinji. Don't report any other numbers. If you do, you will be responsible for the consequences if Xinji finds out."
Chen Fan reiterated that the rules were meant for the Dongguan locals.
This guy isn't exactly a peaceful character, so it's necessary to emphasize that again.
"clear."
Everyone nodded in unison to indicate that they had made a note of it.
"The money we actually receive has to be reduced by the portion taken by the triads. Last night, other branches also arranged for people to respond to our call and we need to reduce the tea fee. The cost of our operation last night was also deducted from that. We are left with about 20 million."
Although Jiang Tiansheng promised that the gang would cover 70% of the cost of last night's film, Chen Fan still felt that this reimbursement was unnecessary.
He's already made tens of millions; there's no need for him to be greedy for a pittance.
He takes all the big profits and doesn't even let go of the small ones; his greed is so unseemly that it's easy for him to attract criticism.
It's time to keep a low profile.
"Airplane, if you catch Thomas and a dozen scumbags, you can get 2.8 million. Dongguan boy, you can get more, 4.2 million."
I'm giving you two options: either you take the money directly, or you put it with me as an investment fund and receive monthly dividends.
"Brother Fan, I choose profit sharing."
The plane made its choice without hesitation.
Even a child knows which to choose: a one-off deal or a steady, long-term commitment.
Dongguan Boy pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Brother Fan, I was able to catch Zhehu last night thanks to Feiji, and Brother Hua, Uncle Da, and Fly also contributed. I'll take three million as profit sharing, and the remaining one million two hundred thousand will go to them."
"They have their share too. Are you sure you want to take yours and share it with them?"
Dongguan boy's decision was quite unexpected for Chen Fan.
This kid's really going to have a wide career path!
"Confirmed." Dongguan Boy nodded and said, "Without Brother Hua to call for people, and without Uncle Da to help coordinate, I'm lucky that I was able to capture even one prisoner. Fly also deserves credit for guarding the prisoner."
Dongguan guy knows very well how he won last night. He doesn't deny that he can fight, but without his men, what's the point of fighting?
Ah Wah and Tsao Tat-wah were the key to victory. They fought three battles in a row, and their fighting strength was always maintained at around 700 men. If they lost any, they would immediately make up for it. Without this strength, he wouldn't have been able to go to Wan Chai, let alone capture Zhe Hu.
"I'm glad you understand gratitude and the importance of teamwork."
"Get ready these next few days. I'll take you to write your names down. You'll have another chance for promotion this year."
I'll try to get the other two spots if either of you wants them.
Chen Fan is not a narrow-minded person like Da B.
He couldn't even control his subordinates. The most valuable thing about a person is to have self-awareness, but unfortunately, he didn't.
Those who lack the ability should retire early and make way for younger people. Holding onto their positions and blocking others from getting ahead will only make the team weaker.
Airplane and Dongguan boy are eager to work hard and get promoted, and Chen Fan doesn't mind giving them a hand.
He has the ability to keep them in check, and even if these two people make a name for themselves in the future, he will still support them.
"Thank you, Brother Fan. I will definitely not let you down."
The Dongguan guy was overjoyed; he realized he made the right choice by switching jobs.
Compared to Hung Hing, Wo Luen Shing is like a stagnant pool.
A guild with plenty of lucrative opportunities lacks passion, while a guild with passion has pitifully little profit to offer.
If something goes wrong, you have to see if the older brother you're following is reliable. If you encounter an unreliable one, you can only blame yourself for the bad luck.
"Your willingness to work diligently is the greatest gratitude you can give me. Remember, when you're in the business world, be high-profile in your work, but low-profile in your personal life."
Chen Fan patted him on the shoulder and gave him a heartfelt piece of advice.
He then rewarded Ahua and the others according to their contributions. They didn't count the money and took it directly, but chose to receive dividends later.
Seeing that everyone had made a decision, Chen Fan divided the shares of the shoe and clothing store according to the amount of money each person had invested.
Dividends from legally operated shops are safer than large sums of dirty money; legitimate dividends are deposited directly into a bank account for secure returns.
If illicit money wants to be deposited in a bank, it must prove its legality. If it cannot be proven, the money may be confiscated, or even the person in the money may lose their life.
Having too much money in their hands is definitely not a good thing; if they can't hold onto it, it will lead to disaster. For example, Thirteen Sister's father boasted that he won the lottery.
With an additional investment of 20 to 30 million, Chen Fan decided to open a total of 20 shoe and clothing stores.
Most of the shops are located on the streets of Hung Hing Chau. If they open shops on other triad territories, they have to pay protection money to the other party, and even if the other party takes the money, they may not necessarily do their best.
"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders." If something really happens to the shop that's located on Hung Hing territory, Chen Fan can fight back against the troublemakers and have a comrade to support him.
Although it might allow the members of this gang to take advantage of you, it's still worthwhile in the long run.
Once the number and location of the shops were decided, the rest of the work became much simpler. After securing the shops, we directly hired a fine-tuned renovation team to work in three shifts to renovate them.
In terms of product promotion, Chen Fan had Ruby personally select several outstanding ladies to form a female model group. They borrowed equipment from Liang Kun's newly opened film company to shoot product promotional pictures and produce flyers. Finally, they spent a little money to mobilize the underlings of various Hung Hing branches to distribute the flyers and create momentum.
