Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2342 Xin'an
"Boss Wu, why come to me for tea when you have time? This is really surprising."

In a seemingly ordinary teahouse, Wu Siyuan is meeting a group of special people.

Xin'an, the old hall of Xiangjiang, ordinary people can say that they are afraid to avoid Xin'an, and they will never take the initiative to go to it.

But what was surprising was that Wu Siyuan was the host who invited the other party to drink tea today.

He specially invited A Sheng, the leader of Xin'an, out of it, so it was impossible for him to simply have a cup of tea with him.

In Xiangjiang, which is not a big place, it is very difficult for ordinary business people to avoid such underground forces. After all, they have so many people that it is difficult to meet them even if they don't want to.

Unless they are powerful enough to ignore them, it is difficult for ordinary people to refuse to deal with them.

And Wu Siyuan has worked hard in this industry for many years, so it is normal to meet or have some friendship with these people on the road.

But today Wu Siyuan invited Ah Sheng out not because of his own reasons, but because of Fei Peng's entrustment, or an explanation.

To deal with Lin Daoqiu, it would be easy to fall into the trap with normal administrative means, and it was obviously not what Fat Peng wanted to see Lin Daoqiu confronted like this.

So he decided to find another way and find other people to deal with Lin Daoqiu. In Xiangjiang, there are very few people who don't buy Lin Daoqiu's face, and Xin'an happens to be one of them.

According to Fei Peng's understanding, Xin'an had a very unpleasant experience with Lin Daoqiu before, and later even used O Ji to come forward to resolve that incident.

However, since then, Xin'an has not continued to trouble Lin Daoqiu, and they have lived in peace for a long time.

During this period, Lin Daoqiu had no contact with Xin'an. His theater and studio have always paid protection fees to Xin'an every month. It's just that most people don't know about such things. There is no way to take Lin Daoqiu, but it is not like this.

The way Lin Daoqiu gets along with Xin'an is that money can be given to you, but you can't come to make trouble.

And Xin'an didn't want to have too much conflict with Lin Daoqiu, otherwise they would cause a lot of trouble if they were targeted by the o's, and they would lose a lot of money in the end.

But the situation is different now. After Wei Yixin left Xiangjiang, Fei Peng was replaced as the governor, and the curse on the mouths of Xin'an and other churches was lifted at once.

But Xin'an and the other parishioners didn't know about this at all, and they thought it was business as usual.

If someone tells them at this time that they can do whatever they want in the next period of time, Fei Peng believes that Xin'an and other people in Tangkou will be very happy to enter the fastest growing film and television industry in Xiangjiang in the past few years to make some money.

With their rules of doing things on the road, it is obviously impossible for them to make movies and make money honestly according to the rules. After all, these people have not been doing legitimate business from the beginning.

In addition to helping them make money, the film industry can also help them launder the illegally obtained money, which is a big incentive for them.

"Brother Sheng is too polite. Siyuan Pictures has been taken care of by Xin'an all these years. I have benefited from it for so many years, so I should invite Brother Sheng to have a cup of tea and chat to express my gratitude."

Ah Sheng didn't believe what Wu Siyuan said at all. After all, they basically didn't meet face to face. Even when collecting money, Ah Sheng just sent his younger brother to Siyuan Films for a visit, and would not say that he came to the door on his own initiative.

As for Wu Siyuan saying that he wanted to thank himself, even if he beat Ah Sheng to death, he didn’t believe that the other party really thought so. After all, even if Wu Siyuan paid the protection fee that Xin’an got from Siyuan Films every month, he definitely didn’t like it in his heart. willing to pay the money.

It was only because he was afraid of Xin'an's strength and couldn't find anyone to help, so Wu Siyuan had to honestly hand over the money every month.

But today is different, Ah Sheng has already received the news that Wu Siyuan has been assigned to Fei Peng's subordinates, this is really beyond his expectation.

If Wu Siyuan is already a member of Fat Peng, then they will not dare to collect the protection fee of Siyuan Pictures in the future. After all, he is the governor of Xiangjiang, and he can punish them as he wants. Asheng has no resistance at all. room for.

"Thank you Boss Wu for your understanding. If everyone thinks the same as you, then our affairs will be much easier."

Ah Sheng smiled slightly at Wu Siyuan, but he was muttering in his heart why the other party was looking for him today.

After thinking about it for a while, Ah Sheng felt that Wu Siyuan's purpose of inviting him to drink tea today was probably to use Fat Peng's name to scare him, so that Xin'an would stop going to Siyuan Films to collect money.

If this is the case, there is no good way for Ah Sheng to do it. Naturally, he dare not fight against Fei Peng, because if he does that, he will definitely lose badly.

"Actually, I asked Brother Sheng to drink tea today, because there is something I want to talk to you about."

At this time, Wu Siyuan suddenly put away his smile, and then showed a very serious expression. It seemed that what he was going to talk about next was the serious matter that he wanted to talk about when meeting Ah Sheng today.

Ah Sheng nodded after hearing what Wu Siyuan said, and then looked at the other party without speaking.

"In the past few years, Xiangjiang's film market has been very strong, and the highest box office has reached hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. If it can be maintained, Xiangjiang's total box office revenue will reach an astonishing 30 billion a year."

The amount of 30 billion sounds like a lot, but if it's just that, it doesn't look very attractive.

After all, the revenue from the box office has to be deducted from the share with Xiangjiang Cinemas, and then it can fall into their pockets.

Now, basically all the movies that can sell well are invested by Lin Daoqiu, so the people who are really making big money are actually Lin Daoqiu, followed by those stars who get a lot of money.

"Boss Wu, although I don't know if what you said is true, but I'm not in the movie industry, so what do you mean by telling me?"

Ah Sheng didn't understand why Wu Siyuan told him these things. He didn't make movies, so it had nothing to do with him making more money in the Xiangjiang film market.

Hearing Ah Sheng's question, a smile suddenly appeared on Wu Siyuan's serious face.

"Does Brother Sheng really want to turn a blind eye to this kind of profitable business? Besides the local box office of Xiangjiang, the biggest income of Xiangjiang movies comes from selling ports. The money is by no means smaller than the businesses you do. .”
