Situ Haonan responded with a straightforward answer.
Actually, he was very happy. You see, he had bet ten million on himself to win, and now that he had won ten million, he was naturally very happy.
Situ Haonan looked at Xu Lang and said with a smile, "This time, seeing that you bet on me, I also bet a lot of money and made ten million!"
"Congratulations~"
Xu Lang congratulated him again, his face still full of smiles.
My good friend won money, of course I'm happy for him!
Meanwhile, He Yong, who had been secretly laughing in the back, stepped forward and said smugly, "Actually, I also bet 500,000 on our boss to win, and I made 500,000 for free, hahaha..."
Snapped!
"You've gotten smarter, kid, you know how to make money now!"
Situ Haonan slapped He Yong on the back and said with a smile.
"Hahaha...Isn't it all because you taught me so well, boss?"
He Yong replied with a hearty laugh.
"You've become quite the smooth talker, haven't you..."
Situ Haonan smiled and shook his head.
At that moment, a henchman came over with Situ Haonan's phone and said, "Boss, it's Uncle Ben calling!"
"Hmm~"
Situ Haonan responded and took the phone.
"Uncle Ben, what's the matter?"
Situ Haonan asked with a smile.
Uncle Ben asked happily, "Situ, where are you now?"
Situ Haonan said directly, "I just came down from the ring and I'm chatting with Ah Lang!"
"Hmm~"
Uncle Ben responded and continued, "Come to my villa tonight, I'll throw a banquet to celebrate your success, and we can all have some fun together!"
He paused, then added, "Don't forget to invite Ah Lang too. I heard he's been doing a lot for you lately, so he's practically a hero to our Tung Sing!"
"Understood, Uncle Ben, beep~ beep~ beep~"
Situ Haonan readily agreed and looked up at Xu Lang, saying, "Tonight, your uncle is hosting a celebration banquet for me at the villa. He specifically asked you to come too, saying that you've worked hard training with me lately!"
"Of course I'll go to your victory celebration, no problem!"
Xu Lang replied without hesitation.
……
That evening, Xu Lang, along with his henchman Meng Renhui and a dozen or so underlings, arrived at Uncle Ben's villa in three vans.
"You all stay here and keep watch, Ah Hui and I will go in!"
After getting out of the car, Xu Lang spoke to his underlings in the van behind him.
"Yes, boss!"
The underlings all spoke in unison as they watched Xu Lang and Meng Renhui enter the villa.
At such banquets, it's generally not customary for people to bring their underlings, so the underlings who knew this had no objections.
At this moment, Cola, dressed in a suit, was greeting guests at the door, while Thirteen Sister, dressed casually, was standing beside him, stealing glances at Cola with affection.
"Brother Lang~"
"Brother Lang~"
Upon arriving, the two greeted Xu Lang.
"Yes, Ah Le, Thirteen Sister~"
Xu Lang nodded and looked at Thirteen Sister, saying, "Thirteen Sister, what brings you here too?"
Thirteen Sister casually put her hand on Cola's shoulder and replied, "Brother Lang, Uncle Ben originally invited my dad over for drinks, but you know, he's from Hung Hing, so it wasn't appropriate for him to come. So he sent me instead~"
The Hung Hing people were already furious about losing, and Chui Shui Tat was one of them, so it was inappropriate for him to come over for a victory drink, otherwise he would be beaten to death by the Hung Hing people when he got back.
Thirteen Sister is different; she doesn't belong to any gang, so she can come and go as she pleases!
"That's right~"
Xu Lang nodded, indicating his understanding.
However, because of Uncle Ben's relationship with Chui Shui Da, Uncle Ben is quite indulgent towards Thirteen Sister and treats her as a junior, so Thirteen Sister appears quite free and easy here.
Because she had a crush on Cola, she always followed Cola to the door to greet guests, like a little shadow.
"I'll go in first then~"
"Have fun, Brother Lang!"
"Brother Lang, make yourself at home, don't be shy!"
Xu Lang greeted them, and Cola and Thirteen Sister responded as they watched him go inside.
Xu Lang led Meng Renhui into the villa, where they met many people, most of whom had some connection with Uncle Ben and Dongxing.
Xu Lang greeted everyone who greeted him, since they were all in the same business at Dongxing and would run into each other all the time.
Camel and Young Master were not among them, since they were not from the same faction as Uncle Ben. Most of the people who came to Uncle Ben's banquet were from his faction.
"Brother Lang~"
At this moment, He Yong, the leader of Situ Haonan's men, quickly walked up to Xu Lang and greeted him.
"Ah Yong~"
Xu Lang nodded in response, and then He Yong said, "Brother Lang, my boss, Uncle Ben, and Datuk are discussing something inside. My boss asked me to invite you to come along!"
"it is good!"
Xu Lang responded, and He Yong led the way towards the area where Uncle Ben and the others were.
Uncle Ben and Dato' were sitting in the luxurious sofa room of Uncle Ben's villa's leisure area.
The three men were there, drinking red wine, smoking cigars, and chatting.
"Ah Lang~"
Every time he saw Xu Lang, Situ Haonan was the first to raise his hand to greet him.
"Situ~"
Xu Lang responded and walked over. When he reached Uncle Ben and the Datuk, he greeted them, "Uncle Ben~ Datuk~"
"Yes, Ah Lang, you're here. Please have a seat."
"Mr. Xu, please have a seat."
Uncle Ben responded, and Datuk also smiled and invited Xu Lang to sit down.
Xu Lang smiled and nodded as he sat down. He then heard Situ Haonan next to him say, "Ah Lang, this time Uncle Ben, Dato's, and I are planning to invest in a gambling ship in Causeway Bay. Do you want to invest some money as well?"
After all, Xu Lang played a part in securing the Causeway Bay pier this time, so when investing in the gambling ship, Situ Haonan wanted to bring Xu Lang along, so that everyone could make money together!
However, this business mainly involved Uncle Ben, Dato', and Situ Haonan. Xu Lang knew this and was also sensible, so he said to the three of them, "Since you're going to invest, I'll invest a little. I just happened to win a little in this boxing match, with the principal and profit totaling 20 million. So I'll invest 20 million. What do you think, Uncle Ben, Dato', and Situ?"
Situ Haonan certainly agreed, and Datuk also nodded. Uncle Ben glanced at the other two and said directly, "Okay, we'll give you 10% of the shares for 20 million!"
Uncle Ben, Datuk, and the other two are running a new gambling ship, which is naturally different from Xu Lang's second-hand ship. The total value is about 200 million, so it is normal for Xu Lang to be given 10% of the 20 million.
"Hmm~"
Xu Lang smiled and nodded, without saying anything.
Then Uncle Ben continued, "Then Dato', Situ, and I will each own 30% of the shares, which means each of us will invest 60 million. What do you think?"
"I have no opinion!"
Situ Haonan took a sip of red wine and put it down before speaking.
"I don't have any objection either!"
The Datuk followed suit and expressed his stance.
As the chief of the Tung Sing gang, Situ Haonan has territory in Ho Lan and also in Hong Kong Island, so he can definitely come up with 60 million.
Uncle Ben is an even more cunning fox. He's been in power at Tung Sing for so many years, and he has an unknown amount of money on his hands. For him, 60 million is just a drop in the ocean.
As for the Datuk, although in the movie he managed to get a gambling ship from Chan Ho-nam and his gang without any investment, Uncle Ben is different...
Uncle Ben knows Datuk's background. After all, Datuk is based in Malaysia, and Uncle Ben's base is in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He knows that Datuk has considerable power and understands that it wouldn't be a problem for Datuk to come up with 60 million.
After the four of them chatted for a few minutes, Uncle Ben said to Cola next to him, "Cola, go and get me my treasured bottle of 1982 Lafite. I want to celebrate properly!"
"Yes, Uncle Ben!"
Cola turned and headed toward Uncle Ben's wine cellar.
Not long after, Cola brought out Uncle Ben's bottle of 1982 Lafite, which he had treasured for many years.
"Oh, Uncle Ben, this is fine wine! You're really willing to part with it?"
Upon seeing the wine, the Datuk couldn't help but joke.
Uncle Ben took a puff of his cigar and replied with a smile, "We've already made such a big deal, how many bottles of this wine could we possibly have? Why would I need one more?"
"Cola, open the wine, pour some for Dato', Situ, and Ah Lang!"
Uncle Ben waved his hand dismissively, showing no sign of heartache.
"Yes, Uncle Ben!"
Cola quickly agreed.
Having worked under Uncle Ben for many years, Cola was already quite adept at opening and pouring wine, and quickly filled the bottles for the four of them.
"Hmm, good wine indeed, Situ. I'm really basking in your favor! Thank you!"
The Datuk picked up the wine glass, took a sniff, and couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated and longing.
