The news that Zihuatan was going to fight the Ax Gang to death was leaked by Jiang Jiahao.
On the one hand, revenge must be retaliated. The bigger reason is that Jiang Jiahao wants to fish in troubled waters and reap benefits for himself.
But he soon discovered that besides him, there were others who were secretly fueling the fight between the two major societies, and even brought up the matter of Fat Fat stealing Xiao Ma Ge's cigarette bricks.
Brother Ma and Brother Ma would definitely not reveal such a shameful thing, and Wong Lao Kat would not expose his family's scandal. This made Jiang Jiahao guess that the upline was fishing in troubled waters.
After all, apart from the senior management of Zihuatan, only Jiang Zhitao knew about Brother Xiao Ma's lost cigarette brick.
Unable to figure out what Jiang Zhitao was up to, Jiang Jiahao simply closed the flower beach in West Alley and took the remaining horses and croupiers back to the Pavilion in East Fourth Alley.
The Pailou Jiu Hesheng family is the only one in the five alleys of southeast, northwest and middle. Even if the Ax Gang and Zihuatan fight fiercely, the fire will not be able to burn this place. It is still safe for the time being.
Whether Yau Tsim District is in chaos or not, Detective Yan Tong has the final say. If Yan Tong wants to settle something, there is also the Chinese Chief Detective!
Jiang Jiahao stayed in the pavilion for three days, waiting hard for the fight between Zihuatan and the Ax Gang!
He simulated fishing in troubled waters countless times in his mind, waiting for the money and looking forward to it. After all, he failed to see the raging fire in the toilet alley. The reason was Lu Hua's intervention.
Lu Hua, the Chinese Chief Inspector, is also the Inspector 500 million often mentioned in later movies.
As soon as this guy showed up, he directly intimidated the hall leaders of the two major forces with his tough attitude, so that even if Wang Laoji and Fatty hated each other, they had to temporarily cease their activities.
Buck-toothed Soda found out that the annual club exchange meeting was about to begin.
Lu Hua didn't want anyone to break the rules before the exchange meeting started, so he asked Wang Laoji and Fei Fat to have their grudges resolved at the club exchange meeting.
The society exchange meeting is a kind of exchange meeting launched by Lu Hua after he became the Chinese Chief Inspector in the early 1960s.
According to Lu Hua, if a region wants to develop stably, it must prevent excessive accumulation of gray industries from affecting the regional economic balance.
There must be a fixed number of societies, gambling houses, opium dens, dance halls, bars, and even gray industries such as prostitutes in each region!
This amount must be allocated by the official government. If it is not allocated by the official government, even if it is a private industry, it must be jointly attacked by the official and supervisory groups.
There are four supervisory societies, all of which are loyal to Lu Hua: Xintiandi, Jiuhesheng, Supernova, and Qunyi.
When Lu Hua first introduced this policy, no one in Hong Kong, large or small, was convinced, and there was almost an uproar.
Later, after Lu Hua "obtained" the consent of all societies, he decided to hold an annual society exchange meeting.
Led by the authorities, namely Lu Hua, they booked the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong and invited senior officials from major social groups to gather together and connect with each other.
No fighting is allowed at the exchange meeting. If there is a grudge, there will be revenge.
A form of civil strife is used to maintain the superficial harmony between the major societies.
At the society exchange meeting, the government treats all societies equally. If the big societies eat meat, they can throw out some small shops to let the small societies eat soup.
Small societies can also contribute part of their profits and seek the protection of large societies so that they can have official and legal operating rights.
At the exchange meeting, officials will randomly increase the number of gray industries in a certain area, allowing all associations to compete for them.
As soon as this exchange meeting was launched, it was quickly praised by many small societies. The four major societies are Lu Hua's team, so they naturally support it.
With the official leadership, the supervision of the four major associations, and the support of a large number of small associations, the first two exchange meetings were a success.
This year is the third year of the club exchange meeting. In previous years, Zihuatan and the Ax Gang would not bother to participate in such exchange meetings.
The pig cage has the rules of the pig cage, and any conflicts will be resolved by themselves without the intervention of outsiders.
But this year Lu Hua spoke up, and Wang Laoji had to give Lu Hua face and decided to send big and small horses to participate.
The show was over, so Jiang Jiahao took his men back to Zihuatan in Xixiang, and Zihuatan reopened for business.
Unexpectedly, he actually received news from someone sent by Brother Ma that at this year's club exchange meeting, Jiang Jiahao, the new inspector, must show up to keep up.
Jiang Jiahao originally wanted to excuse it on the grounds of injury, but Xiao Ma took a tough stance and said that it was arranged by Wang Laoji, so Jiang Jiahao had no choice but to accept it.
In the lounge of Zihuatan, Jiang Jiahao leaned on his chair, flipping through the newspaper and admiring the masterpieces he uploaded.
There was a knock on the door. Buck-toothed Su pushed the door open a crack and saw Jiang Jiahao looking at him and pushing the door in with a smile.
"Brother Hao, there is new news."
"No need to beat me. Next time I have news, tell me directly. Don't make people's appetites exciting!"
Putting down the newspaper, Jiang Jiahao opened the cigarette case, threw a cigarette to Buck Yasu, and took another one himself.
Buck-toothed Su came to Jiang Jiahao's side, lit the match, lit cigarettes for the two of them, shook the match stick, and threw it into the ashtray.
"Well, this year's club exchange meeting is scheduled to be held at the Wan Guohao Hotel. It will take a total of three days from start to finish."
"Wan Guohao will not be open to the public during these three days, and will only receive members of major societies."
"The official start date of the exchange meeting has not yet been announced. Some rumors predict that it will be either at the end of this month or at the beginning of next month."
"Also, I heard from the brothers in the club that this time our hall wants to play big. We plan to take 90% of our Huatan shops to participate in the exchange meeting, and we will fight with the Ax Gang to death."
"I can't find the list of specific shops, but there are rumors that our shop in West Alley is on the list."
Buck-toothed Su sighed, told Jiang Jiahao all the information he had found out in the past two days, and put out the cigarette butt.
Jiang Jiahao nodded, tapped his thigh lightly with his fingers, and asked: "Were the previous two exchange meetings also held in Wan Guohao?"
"Yes, the first and second exchange meetings were both at Wan Guohao."
"There are rumors that this Wan Guohao hotel is opened by the wife of the foreign devil's director. It is the hotel with the deepest background in Hong Kong!"
"Well..." Jiang Jiahao pondered for a moment after hearing the words, then looked at Buck Yasu: "Will Lord Mu Hongfei go?"
"She should go. I heard from the gossip that Mu Hongfei was one of the big names invited by the organizer for the previous two exchange meetings. He should not be left behind this time."
"Brother Hao, why are you asking him? Is he thinking about his daughter?"
Buck-toothed Su seemed to have seen through Jiang Jiahao's little thoughts and deliberately winked at him, feeling that he deserved a beating.
"Go away~" Jiang Jiahao picked up the teacup and asked Buck-toothed Su, but Buck-toothed Su dodged away with a smile.
"I asked you, why are you just hearing all these rumors? Is this news reliable?"
"Brother Hao, the only people I can come into contact with are low-level people or street vendors. I can't come into contact with people who are too high-end. Naturally, it's all gossip."
"But these reports are most likely true. It is said that all major Chinese detectives have their own private rooms in Wan Guohao, where they are used to entertain various parties."
"Oh, yes, not only the major detectives, but also the hall masters of the four major societies, and even Lord Mu Hongfei, whom you miss dearly, have their own exclusive private rooms in Wan Guohao."
"It can be said that in Wan Guohao, if you meet anyone casually when you go in, there is a chance that he is a big shot with background and strength."
Buck-toothed Su saw that Jiang Jiahao had inhaled the butt of the cigarette, so he quickly brought the ashtray and pushed it in front of Jiang Jiahao with a beaming expression.
Jiang Jiahao put out his cigarette butts, nodded when he heard this, opened the drawer, rummaged through to find an envelope, and stuffed five sacred books into it.
"Go, take this to the old ghost in Room 403, Pavilion on Dongsan Alley. He must have the most accurate information about Wan Guohao. Bring it back to me!"
