Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 79 Expansion of Manpower
Iwasaki Kyousuke and Lai Chuanchun stayed in Hong Kong for another day, discussed specific cooperation matters with Qin Haoran and Bao Yugang, and then returned to Japan to prepare for the actual cooperation between the two parties.

And on this day, Zhou Chaosheng and Su Guoqiang also brought those old acquaintances from their hometown who escaped from Hong Kong from mainland China to meet Qin Haoran.

Zhou Chaosheng and Su Guoqiang brought more than 30 young and middle-aged men, including their family members, the total number was almost a hundred.Out of the old, weak, sick and disabled, the more than [-] young and middle-aged people, although their clothes are ragged and rough, are all very strong and strong, and they are the pillars of their respective families.

Su Guoqiang temporarily settled the families of these men in one of the vacant warehouses of "Tianlang International", and then brought the more than 30 "strong men" to the top floor of the office building of "Tianlang International".

Since the office building is still being renovated, the top floor is still empty, only the walls that have just been plastered are pale.Those decoration workers were also notified in advance to have a one-day holiday, so there was no one else in the office building except Qin Haoran and the others, this was also for the sake of confidentiality.

On the top floor of this office building, these thirty or so "strong men" finally met the "second son" that Zhou Chaosheng and Su Guoqiang had mentioned to them——Qin Haoran.

And Qin Haoran was also very satisfied when he saw these strong and agile men, his piercing eyes swept over them, and then he smiled and said: "I heard that you are all fellows of Chaosheng and Guoqiang? "

Seeing Qin Haoran's clear and sharp gaze, the hearts of these men who have experienced many storms shuddered.After hearing Qin Haoran's words, a man in his early thirties in the crowd said: "Second Young Master, most of us here are from Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and some are from Northeast and Shanxi. Some of us are fellow villagers of Brother Sheng and Brother Qiang, some are their comrades-in-arms, and some of us met Brother Sheng and Brother Qiang by chance, and thanks to Brother Sheng and the others, they looked up to us and brought them here to join you, Second Young Master."

I saw that this man was tall and slender, with a Chinese character face, regular facial features, and an awe-inspiring look between his brows.

"What's your name?" Qin Haoran looked at him with a smile.

"Second son, my name is Zhu Chengde. I'm from Wuping, Fujian. I used to be comrades-in-arms in the same army as Brother Qiang." Zhu Chengde said respectfully to Qin Haoran.

Qin Haoran nodded, and then asked: "Have you ever killed anyone?"

Zhu Chengde was taken aback for a moment, and the expressions of the other people behind him also changed a little bit.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Chengde said: "Second Young Master, to tell you the truth, I used to kill bandits when I was a soldier, but after I came to Hong Kong, because of conflicts with those gangsters, I accidentally killed a gangster. "

Gritting his teeth, he said: "Second Young Master, if you dislike me as a blood-stained murderer, then I can leave. But I want to say one thing, Second Young Master, it doesn't matter if you don't want me, but the other brothers are all Rough fellows, but their situation is very difficult, I hope you, Second Young Master, can give them a way out."

But Qin Haoran looked at Zhu Chengde with a smile: "They need a way out, what about you? Don't you need it?"

"Second Young Master, if you are willing to give the other brothers a job that can make a living, I have nothing to do with it personally. Second Young Master, you want to hand me over to the police or give it to the gangsters, I have no complaints." Zhu Chengde looked resolute. road.

The people behind shouted one after another: "Second Young Master, don't hand Brother Zhu over to those gangsters, they are the same as the gangsters! Second Young Master, let Big Brother Zhu work for you too, if you don't want him , we don’t work here anymore!”

Staring coldly at these disturbing people, the smile on Qin Haoran's face never changed.

When Zhu Chengde touched the smile on Qin Haoran's expression, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said, "Second son, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Although we are all rough people who have not studied much, we still have the dignity Yes, if Second Young Master is not willing to accept us, you can say so!"

After taking a deep look at Zhu Chengde, Qin Haoran didn't speak to him directly, but turned to Zhou Chaosheng with a smile and said, "Chaosheng, this guy is quite interesting, I'm very satisfied."

Zhu Chengde was taken aback when he heard the words, only to find that Zhou Chaosheng, Su Guoqiang and Chen Shunfa were all looking at him and the others with smiles.

At this time, Qin Haoran smiled at Zhu Chengde: "To tell you the truth, Chaosheng and Guoqiang are just like you. They killed many people when they were soldiers. After working under my subordinates, the blood on their hands It was never clean either."

Everyone in Zhu Chengde was very astonished when they heard the words, and then heard Qin Haoran say: "Because the business I am doing now is not law-abiding, and sometimes human life is involved. If you have never had blood on your hands, I still dare not take it." And you."

After a pause, Qin Haoran looked at the 30 or so men, and said loudly: "Now I tell you clearly, if you work under my subordinates, you will have to bear your life if necessary, and even your life will be in danger. However, I can assure you that I will never kill innocent civilians. After Chao Sheng and Guo Qiang followed me, they killed all the people who deserved to die. In addition, I will never do anything wrong for me If any brothers really die, I will support their families for them and be responsible for the birth and funeral of their families.”

With fierce eyes scanning the faces of the people back and forth, Qin Haoran's tone also became stern: "I, Qin Haoran, am not a good person, and most of what I do is evil. Do you go back and continue to live your original life, or do things with me? Enjoy what you should enjoy, you choose for yourself, I will not force you."

Qin Haoran's words made people like Zhu Chengde feel ups and downs. Undoubtedly, many of them were soldiers or trained in the country, and they had blood on their hands.To them, killing people is not a trivial matter, but, as Qin Haoran said, there is no small risk in doing things with him.

Zhu Chengde looked closely at Qin Haoran, then at Zhou Chaosheng, Su Guoqiang, and Chen Shunfa.Zhou Chaosheng, Su Guoqiang and others used to live a miserable and embarrassing life in the slums just like me, but now, they are all full of energy and vigor, and they seem even more "glamorous" among their ragged fellow villagers up.

After several weighings, Zhu Chengde took a step forward, and said to Qin Haoran with a firm gaze: "Second Young Master, as long as you don't dislike me for being a brute, I am willing to work under your command!"

Seeing that Zhu Chengde took the lead, the other people behind all expressed their willingness to follow Qin Haoran.

Qin Haoran had long learned from Zhou Chaosheng and the others that people like Zhu Chengde had a very difficult life in the slums of Shek Kip Mei. Because they were illiterate and escaped from Hong Kong, they could only rely on selling their labor to survive.

It doesn't matter that life is hard, misfortunes never come singly because the gangsters in the Shek Kip Mei area are afraid of these powerful "new immigrants", so they have always rejected them and oppressed them in every way.Even in the recently completed public housing estates in Shek Kip Mei, those gangsters colluded with people from government departments and deliberately rejected Zhu Chengde's application for occupancy.

As a result, the wooden house that Zhu Chengde and others lived in would be demolished by the government, and the public housing estates would not allow them to move in. Immediately, Zhu Chengde and his family fell into a situation of living on the streets. It can be said that the mountain is at the end of its rope.

At this time, Zhou Chaosheng and Su Guoqiang approached them and said that they could find a place to live for them.Being in a desperate situation, and seeing Zhou Chaosheng's "prosperity", Zhu Chengde and others followed Zhou Chaosheng to join Qin Haoran.

People like Zhu Chengde are well-trained and powerful young adults, and on the one hand, these people are honest and honest, and on the other hand, they can be ruthless when necessary, which is exactly what Qin Haoran needs.

After getting the opinions of these people, Zhou Chaosheng and Su Guoqiang moved to a table with an incense burner on it, with three finger-thick sandalwood sticks in it, and some offerings such as raw rice made of yellow paper.

I only heard Qin Haoran say: "Today we are destined to gather together to make a common life. We will be a family in the future. After praying to heaven and earth, we will be brothers who share blessings and share hardships. I, Qin Haoran, have spoken beforehand. , everyone will naturally enjoy it together, but on the other hand, if anyone dares to do the thing that betrays the brothers, I will definitely cut him into pieces, and I will never break my promise!"

Qin Haoran knows that most people these days are very superstitious and loyal. Many gangsters rely on this kind of thing to recruit a large number of people to work for them.Even after the 21st century, many gangsters still attach great importance to this set of brotherhood, and severely punish those who betray their brothers.

That's why Qin Haoran made such a move, initially binding these people and himself into a group.

Qin Haoran was in front, followed by Zhou Chaosheng, Su Guoqiang, Chen Shunfa and others, and Zhu Chengde's more than 30 "new students" were listed at the end. He squeezed it on his forehead, and said in a loud voice: "Today, the heaven and the earth are witnesses. From now on, brothers and I will share the blessings and share the misfortunes. If there is anyone who breaks the oath, all the brothers will punish him!"

The people behind immediately followed suit and shouted: "Share the blessings, and share the misfortunes!"

After the ceremony, Qin Haoran really found that everyone had a sense of awe and closeness to him. Taking advantage of this, Qin Haoran took a large stack of brand new banknotes from Zhou Chaosheng, came to Zhu Chengde, and handed 5000 yuan to Zhu Chengde. He said, "I will arrange for you and your family's residence. The 5000 yuan will be used as the first settling-in allowance for you."
