Chapter 295: I’ll put you first!
They deliberately gave some women's jewelry to the leaders of these social organizations, and used the marketing of the Governor's wife to successfully arouse everyone's interest.
In this way, when the store opens, the purchasing power of these community leaders alone cannot be underestimated.
After all, these people don't mind spending any amount of money just to save face.
Luotuo was rich and generous, so he waved his hand and said, "Please reserve three sets for me!"
During this period, Dongxing's development momentum is quite good, so he certainly will not be short of money.
"I want three sets too!" Jiang Tiansheng followed closely behind.
As Hung Hing and Tung Sing are sworn enemies, one can imagine the relationship between Jiang Tiansheng and Luotuo.
In such an occasion, in front of so many bigwigs from different societies, he certainly couldn't let the East Star's camel take over.
When you are out there in the world, face is of course the most important thing!
You are such a coward, who would obey you?
If in such an occasion, being crushed by a camel, it would not only be Jiang Tiansheng who would be embarrassed, but also Hongxing!
Xiang Yan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I want five sets!"
He has always believed that among the four major societies in Hong Kong Island, even if the Sun Kee Society is not the most powerful one, it is definitely the one with the most potential.
By the time Xiang Yan unifies the flour market in Hong Kong Island, all the Wo Shing Wo and the Haohao Gang will have to stand aside.
With this kind of thinking, how could Xiang Yan not put Luotuo and Jiang Tiansheng on the same level!
"I want five sets too!"
Ge Zhixiong said this with a smile, and although there was nothing unusual in his expression, Xiang Yan could detect a very serious provocation in his eyes.
Just as Xiang Yan was about to explode, he was held down by Lin Shixia. He shook his head slightly and whispered, "Don't be impulsive in this kind of situation. If there is anything, let's talk about it when we get back."
"Don't give Wei Longhao a chance to mediate. Otherwise, wouldn't that be helping him become famous in disguise?"
Hearing this, Xiang Yan immediately calmed down, let out a long breath, looked at Ge Zhixiong deeply, and said nothing.
Ge Zhixiong curled his lips and picked up the teacup to drink.
The taste of this tea is very good and very much suits his taste.
"Don't worry, my dear leaders, I will definitely reserve it for you when we open."
Jimmy said this very politely, but he was already beaming with joy in his heart.
Hutchison Jewellery has always been a high-end brand, so it is normal for a set of jewelry to cost over a million.
I don’t know what expressions these big brothers will have when they see the bill.
However, Jimmy is not worried at all that people may not buy into his ideas, because behind him is Shenghe.
After a while of greeting, the gong sounded again.
Huo Pao walked forward slowly and said loudly, "The auspicious time has come. Hutchison will open its gates and announce to fellow practitioners that anyone who shares the same ideals can enter Hutchison after passing the test."
"Now, the mountain gate is open, and the Hong family's envoy is coming!"
This sentence, as the messenger continued to recite it, crossed the square, arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall, and spread far and wide.
The police officers who were patrolling not far from the door had different expressions when they heard the news.
"Hutchison already has 50,000 employees, and they're still hiring?"
"With so many idiots, even if Wei Longhao has a lot of money, he may still be at risk of bankruptcy if things go wrong..."
"Look at those other clubs. Even the Sun Kee, one of the four largest clubs in Hong Kong, only has about 30,000 members. If Wo Shing Wo expands its membership, it will be enough to replace two Sun Kee clubs in terms of number of members. Can they really afford it?"
Everyone was talking at once, and most people believed that it would be extremely difficult to support He Shenghe by recruiting so many people.
Supporting a kid is not something that can be done by just opening your mouth.
Most of the gangs in Hong Kong Island nowadays, regardless of how many people they say they have, are actually mostly Blue Lanterns, or part-time gangsters.
One step further up from Blue Lantern is to become a Sijiuzi, a formal employee.
The difference between the two is very simple. Blue Lantern pays you on a daily basis. You can only earn money when they ask you to do work here. You can usually do other work.
Most clubs do not pay salaries to sijiuzai, but sijiuzai are full-time and the clubs need to cover their daily living expenses.
Therefore, for many societies with weak financial strength, it is enough to raise a few Sijiuzhai, most of which are Blue Lanterns.
It is convenient and inexpensive, and you don’t have to pay for resettlement if you die.
However, Wo Shing Wo is different. According to incomplete statistics from the police force, the proportion of Blue Lanterns in Hutchison Whampoa is very small, only one-fifth at most.
Wei Longhao claims to have 50,000 disciples, but among these 50,000, there are only 10,000 Blue Lanterns at most.
Moreover, this ratio is still decreasing.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why He Shenghe wants to recruit people.
"But it's really strange. How can Wei Longhao afford to support so many idiots?"
"If he continues to develop in this way, what will Hong Kong Island become in the future?"
"Okay, if the sky falls, those foreigners will be watching. We are just the lowest-level police officers. Why should we worry so much?"
"Also, don't forget that Wei Longhao was born and raised in Hong Kong Island. Judging from his previous actions, he is one of our own. That is enough..."
"..."
The police officers' discussions had nothing to do with those guys who had been waiting for a long time and trying to become Hutchison's disciples.
After receiving the news, they rushed to the entrance of the ancestral hall.
I saw that a checkpoint had been set up at the original entrance, with two tables lying across the middle of the road. A dozen burly men in black suits with bulging waists stood by without saying a word, with grim expressions.
Feiji and Dadi were sitting in front of two tables respectively. On the tables were a thick stack of forms and the pen holders were filled with pens.
"If you want to sign up, please write down your personal information on a piece of paper, including your name, gender, age, specialty, and most importantly, contact information."
"After screening, you will receive a phone call notification in three days at the latest."
Seeing everyone's impatient expressions, Feiji didn't keep them in suspense and directly stated the rules.
After hearing this somewhat unusual and unconventional rule, everyone was stunned, with confusion written all over their faces.
"Isn't this... the same method used by office workers when they are looking for a job interview?" "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true. But we came to Hutchison to make a name for ourselves, not to be office workers. What's the point of doing it like this?"
"What's the point of all this fancy stuff? When you're out there, it's all about who's sharper and who can fight better. What's the point of filling out this kind of form? It's totally nonsense!"
"That's right! I guess the reason why it became like this is because there is something shady going on. Hutchison didn't even think about recruiting people based on their real abilities!"
Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things, but the majority of voices were reluctant.
Under such circumstances, the scene gradually became chaotic, with shouts and voices of objection heard everywhere.
Moreover, people in the crowd soon started pushing and shoving.
Obviously, those who can come here are not of good temper. Under such circumstances, some people will naturally start to fight back.
"Fuck! You stepped on my foot!"
"Pounce on your mother! Who touched my butt?"
"If you dare say one more word, I will definitely stuff your head into your shit!"
Looking at the scene in front of him and listening to the noise coming from his ears, Dadi snorted coldly, stood up, slammed the pistol on his waist on the table, and shouted loudly: "Since you like to quarrel so much, why don't you all go home!"
"If anyone thinks there is a problem with our rules, we at Shenghe will not force you to sign up. Just turn around and leave immediately."
"But if anyone dares to cause trouble here, don't blame the bullet for being blind!"
After hearing this, everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing and focused their eyes on Dadi.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Dadi looked around with sharp eyes, scanning everyone's faces. Wherever he went, no one dared to look at him, and they all chose to lower their heads out of guilt.
After a moment, Dadi continued: "Since you want to join Shenghe, you must abide by Shenghe's rules."
"Now, everyone line up, fill out the form, and go back to wait for notification."
"Today is a good day. I don't want to see blood at a time like this. I hope you can understand."
The plane next to him also had his arms folded across his chest with a grim expression, and the scar at the corner of his eye looked extremely hideous.
Looking at the burly men in black suits behind them, everyone did not dare to delay any longer and immediately began to line up obediently.
Although the line was very long, under the watchful supervision of Dadi and Feiji, no one dared to cut in line, and no one dared to talk nonsense. Everyone was writing honestly.
During this period, some illiterate people stood up and asked what they should do.
Without exception, everyone was discouraged by the plane and the big bottom, without any room for negotiation.
You know, this rule was set by Brother Hao himself. Although they were surprised, they did not dare to violate it in the slightest.
Even this method of recruiting people is said to be an order issued by Brother Hao.
Although they couldn't fully understand it, all they could do was obey Brother Hao's orders.
Because countless facts have proved that Brother Hao's orders have never been wrong.
Even if they don't understand it for the time being, as time goes by, it will be proven without exception that Brother Hao is right.
Brother Hao is always right.
Da Di looked at the resumes on the table and said to the plane in a low voice, "I looked at the resumes and found that the quality of these people is not low. I even saw a few people with Form 7 education. It's beyond my imagination..."
"You said that with such a degree, it would be easy to find a job, so why did you choose this path?"
In fact, the reason why Dadi took this path was also a helpless move.
If he had not joined the society at that time, his father's milk delivery business would have been gone.
For the sake of his family's livelihood, Dadi had no choice.
Over the years, he didn't know how much betrayal and blood he had witnessed. If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet a big boss like Brother Hao, he would have been very lucky.
Now, he doesn't know what he will be like.
Da Di couldn't understand why these people who seemed to have better options would choose to go down this path.
This road in the martial arts world may seem to be full of opportunities, but in fact it is full of dangers and there is no turning back.
"Maybe there is something he can't tell you. After all, even if he becomes a white-collar worker, with that little salary, he doesn't know when he will be able to buy a car or a house."
"Now our Shing Wo is well-known, and the salary of 49ers is the highest in Hong Kong Island. Moreover, the nature of the work is stable. Even if you want to do a legitimate job, there are many positions to choose from in our subsidiaries, and the salary and benefits are very good."
"Under such circumstances, I can understand why highly educated people want to join the society."
Feiji was not surprised, because in his opinion, every order given by Brother Hao had its own profound meaning.
Perhaps, absorbing these highly educated people is also part of Brother Hao’s plan.
Da Di was about to say something when he saw a man wearing sunglasses standing in front of him and said, "Excuse me, is there any special way for me to join He Sheng He right now?"
Hearing this, Dadi and Feiji stopped what they were doing and looked at the man wearing sunglasses.
After looking him up and down, Feiji found that although his hair was a little messy and his clothes were very ordinary, he could still smell a sense of fellow feeling in him.
That is a kind of ruthlessness that is engraved in their bones. No matter how approachable they appear, it does not prevent them from becoming another person when necessary.
The plane asked, "Why do you do that?"
"As long as you can prove yourself and are qualified to not have to wait another three days, I can make the decision and take you to see Brother Hao."
"As for whether you can get Brother Hao's approval, that is not something I can decide."
If the other party can convince him, Feiji doesn't mind giving the other party a chance.
Hearing this, the man in sunglasses' eyes, hidden behind the dark sunglasses, showed some fluctuations, and asked, "Any way is fine?"
Feiji nodded and said, "Of course, any method is fine."
Da Di, who was standing next to him, also put down his resume and began to read it with great interest.
