If you want to be a good person, find Huadi

Chapter 36 Future Planning

"Seventh Brother, you're doubting whether I can get a security company license, right?" Liu Yi saw through Seventh Brother's doubt and hesitation. "Yes, although you and I are well-known in the underworld, security companies are not something we can get involved in. Those Eagle Country guys wouldn't give it to people like us." Seventh Brother, without any estrangement from Hua Di, directly expressed his concerns. "Don't worry about that. Jojo's parents will help me get it. Seventh Brother, you're my eldest brother, forever. I hope you'll seriously consider what I'm about to say." Liu Yi decided to discuss his plans with Seventh Brother. After all, Seventh Brother was the only eldest brother in his previous life, someone who would go through thick and thin for him, and it was Seventh Brother who saved Jojo.

"I've already signed up for the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix. With my skills, Brother Qi should have confidence in me, right?" Brother Qi knew about this; it was he who recommended Uncle Bao's club, and Brother Qi always thought Huadi should have entered the competition a long time ago, so he nodded. Liu Yi continued, "I'm entering this competition just to prove myself. Of course, the prize money is also one of my goals. But the most important thing is that winning this championship will help me join the police force in the future." "Huh? You want to be a cop?" Brother Qi was very surprised to hear this. For gangsters like them, the police are their natural enemies. How could a mouse become a cat? "Surprised, right? We're gangsters, and becoming a cop seems like betrayal to our gang. But Brother Qi, do you think I have a future if I continue like this? Besides, 97 is coming soon. Do you think we still have a future?" "But if you become a cop, what will you do when you face your former brothers? Arrest them all?" Brother Qi still had a strong resistance to the police.

"Seventh Brother, if they still break the law, of course I'll arrest them. This isn't the time to talk about brotherly love. I've made many mistakes before, and even injured people, but I regret it now. A few days ago, I was walking by Temple Street and saw a beggar. He was crippled after I severed his hamstrings, and now he can only beg for a living. Seeing him, I felt so sorry. Why was I so cruel back then?" Liu Yi emotionally recounted his regrets to Seventh Brother. "If you hadn't severed his hamstrings, you'd be the one crippled. This is the underworld. There's no regrets. We can only move forward." Seventh Brother was a veteran, accustomed to the fighting and killing. "I'm lucky to follow you. You are very good to every brother. If someone is injured or in trouble, you will do your best to help us. But what if you are killed one day? Who can we rely on? If we can't take advantage of the opportunity now to take them to change careers, how can you predict the future? If something happens to you, what will happen to your sister-in-law and children?" Seventh Brother completely understood that what Huadi said was right. He was not a bad guy like Laba, but what he was really worried about was that if he left the gang, what would happen if the brothers who followed him were unwilling to mend their ways? He could still protect them, but if he did something good, how could he help them?

"What if someone doesn't want to change careers with me?" asked the Seventh Brother. "You're just their big brother, not their daddy. You can't control them forever. If they don't want to clean up their act, just let them continue to mess around. It's precisely because of this that you cleaned up your act and became a big shot in the business world. If anything happens to them in the future, you'll have the strength to help them. Only if we change careers and accumulate capital as soon as possible can we seize the initiative in the great changes of the future." Hearing this, the Seventh Brother was already tempted. "So what are your specific plans?" "First, I'll ask JOJO's parents to help get the security company license. You should talk to all the younger brothers as soon as possible and have them come with us to the security company. They are also our basic team." "Them? Can they be content to be security guards? They're all used to being lazy. Few are willing to do it." The Seventh Brother still knew his younger brothers very well. "Lazy? Simple. I'll go to the mainland and find some professional veterans to train them. They'll change after training. As for whether they'll participate in the training, that's also simple. They're willing to continue to work with you at the security company for a monthly salary of over ten thousand. Can they earn that much as small-time thugs? As for those who don't come, let's just ignore them for now. We can only take care of the majority." Liu Yi proposed his solution, and Seventh Brother agreed.

"So what happens after that? The security company should just be your starting point, right? You're going to be a police officer, so you're going to give me the entire security company?" Seventh Brother continued to ask. "The security company is just your starting point, not mine. Our future is the stars and the sea. Haha. Seventh Brother, if the security company is well run, it can actually be very profitable. We now collect protection fees to watch over the place, so wouldn't opening a security company be the same as collecting protection fees to watch over the place? It's just legal now, but of course we have to have strict rules and regulations, and we can't just mess around in the place like before. The more security projects you can secure using your influence, the better. If we can secure even one-tenth of the business on the market, you can run for council." Liu Yi began to promise Seventh Brother something. As a former 996 worker, he was all too familiar with promises and PUA. "Can I still be a council member?" Seventh Brother was more than just tempted now; everyone wanted to be in the upper class. "Of course, the legislators are elected. If you have the support of one-tenth of the shop owners, it will be easy for you to become a legislator. Besides, Brother Qi, who do you think owns Hong Kong?" Brother Qi was a little confused by this question. "Of course it belongs to us Chinese. Why do you ask this?" "It's almost 97. Those Eagle guys won't return Hong Kong so easily. They will definitely do something unexpected. What if they sabotage it? What if they use various legal provisions to sabotage it after the return? At this time, we patriots need to fight them. If we are still gangsters, we are not qualified to fight them. They can arrest us directly." Liu Yi analyzed to Brother Qi.

"You're right, those Eagle Country guys are no good. We really need to do something." When it comes to patriotism, everyone knows their profession and status. Rich people can be patriotic, as can poor people. Police officers can be patriotic, as can gangsters. It's just that everyone expresses their love differently, and their contributions to the country are also different. Hong Kong is a special city. Due to historical reasons, the underworld can also make contributions to patriotism, but the underworld can never be publicly recognized. Qi Ge and Liu Yi are destined to take the stage to fight the Eagle Country guys. "Okay, I'll start preparing for the cleanup tomorrow, and I'll try to finish it by the end of this year." Qi Ge also made up his mind.
