Fairy brocade, earned tens of millions at the peak, and sold chicken pots in his later years
He was both civil and military, but he suffered the blow of the family's decline. With his own strength, he ascended to the position of gang boss and successfully defeated and"Lame Hao"The famous drug lord Hong Hanyi made him flee in the wilderness.
After his retirement, two major forces emerged within the community he led, and they fought each other for three years, seemingly endlessly. However, his presence forced both parties to put aside their hatred and reach a settlement.
He's a gangster"and peace"spiritual leader, revered as he is"Fairy brocade"Tong Yamin.
Tong Yamin, a child born in 1942 in a middle-class family in Hong Kong. When he was 5 years old, during World War II, Hong Kong fell and the gang power was on the rise.
Life was difficult, but his parents believed in the importance of education and kept him in school. Tong Yamin is very smart, he is very good at school, and he is deeply appreciated by teachers and classmates, and is even called "Little Mister".
His parents also hope that he can be both civil and military, and become a dragon son and grandson in their eyes.
Seeing my son's outstanding performance in learning, I immediately enrolled him in a martial arts gym course, hoping that Tong Yamin could learn a martial arts skill, after all, gangsters were active in those days, and mastering some fighting skills could ensure his own safety.
After teaching Tong Yamin for a few days, the master of the martial arts hall discovered that Tong Yamin had a high talent for martial arts and would definitely become his signature student in the future. No matter what he learns, Tong Yamin can quickly master it, just like the master's best Hong boxing, he only needs to demonstrate once, and Tong Yamin can comprehend seven or eight percent.
Therefore, Tong Yamin became the envy of his neighbors"Someone else's child", but also the baby that parents are proud of.
Due to poor market conditions, the family's business plummeted. In this case, studying becomes a burden on the family. Therefore, Tong Yamin, who only graduated from primary school, chose to enter the society early and left the campus.
Initially, he worked in a factory to cut threads for others, and later worked as a coolie in a warehouse, where he did almost all the low-level work. As a waiter in a restaurant, he served tea and water to customers, and it was here that he met his mentor in life, the founder of the "Harmony and Happiness" club.
The "He'anle" club, also known as the "water room", is because most of the members of the club are from the "Anle Soda Factory", so the club is called "He'anle". And since most of the members of this society work in soda factories, they are called "water houses" in the rivers and lakes.
In general, after experiencing various low-level jobs, Tong Yamin finally met his mentor in life in the restaurant, and also began his indissoluble bond with the "He'anle" club.
In the thirties and forties, He'anle reached the peak of his career under the leadership of Wen Gui, and the reputation of "the oldest Fuyixing, the greatest He'anle" was spread on the rivers and lakes. However, by the early fifties, with the rise of the gangster 14K, the gang landscape in Hong Kong had changed, and the popularity of Harmony had gradually waned.
At that time, He Anle's restaurant was Sun Guanqing, and he often went to the restaurant where Tong Yamin worked for afternoon tea. Sun Guanqing was impressed by Tong Yamin's ingenuity and orderly way of working, so he came up with the idea of taking him as an apprentice.
In 1958, Tong Yamin, who was only 16 years old, threw himself into the rivers and lakes, worshiped under Sun Guanqing, and began his career of struggle. Tong Yamin, who has just entered the industry, like other horses, started from the lowest position and devoted himself to gambling stalls and Qinglou watching.
Whenever there was a need for a place for negotiations between associations, Tong Yamin would follow the large army to the expedition. Although the scene of fire and fire often happens, he stands tall on the battlefield with a single hand of Hong Fist, even at a young age, he is not afraid.
Soon, Tong Yamin stood out among Sun Guanqing's many protégés with his outstanding martial arts and became one of them. Sun Guanqing also began to train him carefully.
In the early 60s, Tong Yamin already had hundreds of subordinates, and he seized the opportunity of 14k to expand in Tsim Sha Tsui East, and led his Ma Tsai to successfully seize the territory of To Kwa Wan.
Tong Yamin's talent should not be underestimated. In To Kwa Wan, in the early years, he occupied the 14k "Double Flower Red Stick" Yi Zhong, also known as "Silly Guy Zhong", from his nickname, it can be seen that he is a reckless person, but it is not easy to be called "Double Flower Red Stick", his Hong Fist and snake grip have reached a state of supernatural status, once chased more than a dozen people with a beef knife in his hand, and later fled to the Netherlands, and even became the "Godfather of the Netherlands" of 14k.
And Tong Yamin took advantage of the gap between Yi Zhong and Tsim Sha Tsui East to develop, and successfully seized the territory of To Kwa Wan.
After gaining a stable position in To Kwa Wan, Tong led Ma Tsai to successfully occupy the land of Zha Hung Tok on Hong Kong Island, seizing a large amount of territory for the sake of Hoa Hop Tu. In fact, Tong Yamin and his team occupy almost all of He'anle's territory.
At that time, Wo On Le was only a medium-sized association, even if it could not be regarded as one of the three major gangs in Hong Kong, "Wo Sheng He", "Xin Ngee An", and "14K".
Tong Yamin survived and maintained an advantage between the three major societies, and his resourcefulness far surpassed that of his senior brothers, so the eldest Sun Guanqing had special respect for him.
Tong Yamin is known as the "fairy brocade" because he can accurately analyze the personality of the hostile community speaker, and make decisions based on the personality and actual situation of the other party.
However, in the late 60s, he focused on the development of Hong Kong Island and paid less attention to To Kwa Wan. So, "Brother Teddy" Hong Hanyi and "Fine Fat" Ma Chengxi seized this opportunity and entered To Kwa Wan.
Hung Hon-yi and "Fine Fat" are two drug lords and ruthless men who have captured most of Tong Yamin's field in To Kwa Wan. Unwilling to lose his territory, Tong Yamin summoned more than 100 of his horses to return to To Kwa Wan to fight back.
At this time, Hong Hanyi and Ma Chengxi were celebrating the victory in the hotel, while Tong Yamin set up an ambush near the hotel and personally led the team to surround it.
Hong Hanyi and Ma Chengxi in the hotel saw Tong Yamin walking in menacingly, and they were immediately frightened and fled in all directions. But because Tong Yamin's "Immortal Brocade" was famous, they couldn't move for a while.
At this moment, Tong Yamin snapped his fingers softly, and his younger brothers immediately rushed up. Although Hong Hanyi and Ma Chengxi were able to become stronger and bigger later, they were not fuel-efficient lamps at this time, and they knew that they could not escape, so they pulled out their double knives and approached in the direction of Tong Yamin while resisting Ma Zai's attack.
Tong Yamin could see at a glance that their intention was to "capture the thief and capture the king first", and then unhurriedly took out his ancestral forty-meter machete and rushed directly towards Hong Hanyi and Ma Chengxi.
Faced with the challenge of the two of them, ordinary people can hardly imagine how Tong Yamin will respond, after all, the other party has the determination to win. However, Tong Yamin's martial arts were outstanding, not only did he not lose the battle, but suppressed the opponent, and the battle fell into a stalemate.
Seeing 14K's men fall one by one, Ma Chengxi realized that if he didn't leave immediately, he would no longer be able to escape Tong Yamin's pursuit. In fact, even after leaving the restaurant, there was still an ambush outside, and Tong Yamin's palms were everywhere.
However, Ma Chengxi couldn't expect this at this time, so he asked Hong Hanyi to go first and contain Tong Yamin himself. But Hong Hanyi resolutely said that they will live and die together and will never be separated.
Tong Yamin was deeply moved when he saw their deep brotherhood, so he decided to let them live and no longer press on them step by step. Soon after, Hung came to the door again, hoping to cooperate with Tong Yamin to run a "flour" business in To Kwa Wan.
Although Tong Yamin allowed him to sell, he thought that the business was unreasonable, so he only collected rent and did not participate in it. On the contrary, Tong Yamin became interested in the legal mahjong hall at that time, and he led people to successfully seize the right to watch the "Ruixing Mahjong Hall".
At that time, "Ruixing Mahjong Parlor" was one of the largest mahjong parlors in Hong Kong, and the daily turnover was very large, so Tong Yamin made a lot of money.
With his outstanding talent and selfless dedication, Tong Yamin has won high praise and respect from his uncles in the community, and has been pushed to the throne of "Sitting in Peace and Happiness". Since then, he has gone on a rampage to expand the influence and wealth of the Society.
He has successfully obtained the right to watch many bars in Wan Chai, the right to operate minibus lines, and the vegetable market in Cheung Sha Wan, etc., which has led to a sharp increase in the income of the association. For example, after he became the seat of the "Ruixing Mahjong Hall", he immediately won the right to see all the branch libraries, and the income of these mahjong halls alone is hundreds of thousands every day.
Tong Yamin's outstanding performance and outstanding talent have made his prestige in the community increasingly enhanced, and his image of "leading brother" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is admired by everyone in the community.
Tong Yamin, a shrewd businessman, knows how to plan ahead, and after having wealth, he began to pave the way for his future. He invested money in various investment projects, including the opening of"Ayutthaya Investment***"and many other investment companies.
As his investment business expanded, so did Tong's wealth, and he began to think about his next step. Gradually, he handed over the day-to-day operations of the company to his right-hand man"Tall guy hair", and he began to slowly fade out of the business world.
After Tong Yamin retired to the rivers and lakes, with his love for the catering industry, he opened a chicken pot chain store. Although he is no longer in the Society, his influence is still strong, just like the Emperor Taishang in ancient times.
In 1993, the club held an election every two and a half years, and Tong Yamin actively canvassed for his protégé "Gao Laofa". This election also includes the competition between the "Hundred Flower Snake" and the "Water RV God" blind heng.
Blind Heng, a racing driver who is passionate about extreme sports, has a very high-profile personality. Tong Yamin expressed dissatisfaction with this, believing that such a personality could put the community in trouble.
So, in a vote, Tong Yamin directly rejected Blind Heng's qualification, making him lose his position as the boss of the club. Although "Hundred Flowers Snake" and "Gao Laofa" are Tong Yamin's protégés, he is more optimistic about "Gao Laofa".
On the day of the vote, Tong Yamin directly expressed his support for "Gao Laofa" and asked: "After I finished speaking, do you agree or disagree?" ”
There was a more naïve and disapproving opinion that was knocked to the ground by Tong Yamin with a slap, and he almost couldn't get up. Everyone else agreed, so with the strong support of Tong Yamin, the 38-year-old "Gao Laofa" successfully ascended to the position and became the youngest person in the history of the He'an Le Club.
This shows that although Tong Yamin has retreated into the background, his influence is still unmatched. "Flower snake"He was very dissatisfied with this and decided to switch to New Ngee An, because he knew that "none of the people who came out to mix were righteous."
In real life, people often join gangs in pursuit of wealth, but it is not possible to sit in a museum, and it is common sense to join a stronger organization. In business, it is the norm for employees to switch jobs to rival companies, but in gangsters, this behavior is seen as taboo. "
Flower snake"Because he violated the "family law", he was disposed of by Tong Yamin, and he could only continue to stay in He'anle. But the affairs of the rivers and lakes are either reconciled or destroyed.
Tong Yamin skillfully chose to delegate power and let the "high-ranking man" rise, but the "Hundred Flowers Snake" fell into a predicament and was ignored. Later, the "Hundred Flower Snake" rises to become the behind-the-scenes boss of the water house, and begins to create chaos and happiness.
It can be said that the ** of peace is indirectly due to his presence. These two factions have been fighting against each other for many years, and the "high-ranking guys" have also paid the price of one leg because of this. In 2009, Tong Yamin appeared in front of the public again, and a mysterious person invested 1 million US dollars as a "dark flower", wanting to buy the lives of "Li Fatzi" and "Boss Li", but it was unsuccessful, but these two people were scared.
Since all the clues in the investigation pointed to Tong Yamin, he could only go to court with "Li Fatzi", and he rarely appeared after that. Just as Tong Yamin was caught up in the lawsuit, turmoil began within the community.
The "North and South" factions of He'an Le were divided into "traditional faction" and "Shaozhuang faction", while "Gao Laofa" was the representative of the "traditional faction", and behind the scenes of the "Shaozhuang faction" was developed and grown by the "Hundred Flowers and Snakes".
Since 2010, the "traditional faction" and the "young Zhuang faction", which have been working separately, have launched a three-year war because of interest issues, which has led to a lot of noise in the rivers and lakes.
In this chaotic situation, some people were imprisoned because of accidents, some were whipped in the streets, and some people were suddenly attacked and their heads were bleeding. One of the most shocking incidents was in 2012, when the important figure "Gao Laofa" was cut and rushed to the hospital for first aid.
However, both sides are determined not to give up. The elderly Tong Yamin once again personally stepped out and made peace by organizing a drinking party for them to shake hands and make peace, so that the people of the two factions had to accept reconciliation, and finally this chaotic situation was calmed down.
Although Tong Yamin is over 80 years old, he still receives some Hong Kong people who come to Shenzhen to taste chicken pot. If they talked about speculation, he would hand out a business card with "fairy brocade" printed on it, and everyone who saw this business card marveled at the rickety old man.
Because the three words "fairy brocade" represent the legends of the past generation.
