Hong Kong General: The Departed? No, I am the Hong Kong Island Tyrant

Chapter 198: A new movie is being prepared and the society is starting to come ashore!
After receiving Di Qing's call, Lu Qichang suddenly became serious.

Foreign killer group?
Without any hesitation, Lu Qichang immediately made an appointment with Di Qing and the female killer "Hai Yao" mentioned by Di Qing.

After learning the details of the 'Mrs. M' killer group from Li Haiyao, Lu Qichang immediately began to investigate.

As for Li Haiyao, he was temporarily taken to the police station and received protection from the police force.

What happened next had nothing to do with Di Qing.

He had already informed Li Haiyao in advance how to cooperate with the police investigation and eradicate this killer organization.

As long as Li Haiyao is not stupid, he will naturally know what to do.

He just needs to wait until the police force has dealt with this killer group, and then Li Haiyao and her companions will come to report.

After dealing with the bodies of the female killer Zheng and the special agent killers who were monitoring Li Haiyao, Di Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

The threat has been lifted temporarily.

Finally I can take a good break!
I was in a very tense state of mind during this period, busy almost every day dealing with club affairs and the dispute with Shaw Brothers.

Not only is life threatened at any time, but the spirit is also exhausted.

Go home.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the three Qiu Di girls sitting in the living room with nervous faces waiting for him to come back.

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, took off his coat and walked in, saying, "Why are you still not asleep so late?"

"Brother Qing, is the problem resolved?" Qiu Di asked worriedly.

Gangsheng and Arun now knew that the two women were female killers, so they no longer cared about being jealous and looked at Di Qing nervously.

Di Qing smiled and consoled him, "It's done. Leave the rest to the police. Don't worry, nothing will happen again."

The three girls breathed a sigh of relief.

Di Qing walked over and sat between Qiu Di and Gang Sheng, put his arms around the two girls' waists, looked at the worry in their eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"I'm really sorry that you've been implicated during this period..."

The three women quickly shook their heads.

Qiu Di said softly, "Brother Qing, we have Xiao Fu and A Gang to protect us, so nothing will happen. The main thing is that you have to be careful."

"Yes, Brother Qing, now that Shaw has publicly apologized and the group's issues have been resolved, can't you give up the society's affairs and run the group well?" Arun also suggested softly.

Di Qing shook his head and sighed, "When you are in the arena, you have no choice. I can't just quit now if I want to."

Not to mention that he has become the leader of Hung Hing, even if he hadn't become the leader, it would not be easy for him to completely get rid of his gang background.

What's more, in Hong Kong Island, it is impossible to do business well without a community background.

This fight with Shaw Brothers is the most obvious example.

If he did not have the support of the community, he would have no chance of defeating Shaw Brothers. To expect Shaw Brothers to surrender was nothing but a pipe dream.

Therefore, even if there were no system tasks, he would not completely abandon his community background.

In this age of cannibalism, the only right way forward is for both the black and white worlds to develop together.

As for some of the dangers we experienced, there was nothing we could do about it.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

If you want to develop with the help of the community, you must bear the risks.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, you will be fine for the time being. I will find a few more experts to protect you in a few days. You just need to focus on the group's affairs. I will take care of the rest."

Di Qing smiled slightly and changed the subject: "How is the group doing these days?"

Speaking of the group, Qiu Di became a little more serious and said, "Shaw's reputation compensation has been deposited into our group's account this afternoon. Now the group has a total of more than 230 million in its account."

"Among them, 20 million is the remaining amount from the renovation of the floors and other group expenses during this period, and more than 10 million is the share of the box office revenue from the security company and the last movie."

Di Qing nodded.

Previously, in order to register the group, he transferred 50 million yuan into the group's account. During this period, he spent about 30 million yuan on the group's decoration and other expenses.

As for the profits of the security company, they are actually his personal income.

It was just that the younger brothers in the Mong Kok gang and Temple Street that he previously managed were all registered with the security company, so the various grey incomes such as watching the scene and collecting protection fees also went through the group account.

After deducting the salary submitted to the society and paid to his younger brothers, the dividends that belonged to him alone were deposited into the group's account.

All in all, about five million was distributed in these two months.

But now that he has become the leader, the dividend that belonged to the leader of the Mong Kok gang is gone. All he can get is 30% of what each gang hands over to the society every month.

And these 30% do not all belong to him. At the end of the year, he will have to share dividends with other decision-makers and the top shareholder. The leader can only get 30% of these 30%.

Therefore, it would be inappropriate for this part of the money to go through the group’s account in the future. Otherwise, if there are abnormalities in the accounts, it will definitely be noticed by the Commercial Crime Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Either all of it will be eliminated and counted as gray income, or all of the money from the gangs will be put into the group’s account.

But if this part of income is excluded, what is the point of him founding this security company?

Therefore, it is necessary to convince other decision-makers as soon as possible to launder all the income that can be laundered by the gang through the security company.

Paying some taxes doesn’t matter, the most important thing is not to give the police any handle

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, not only will the group be in trouble, but he, as the leader of the society, will definitely be the first to suffer.

Thinking of this, Di Qing temporarily suppressed his thoughts and continued to ask, "How are the preparations for the new movie going?"

Hearing this, Gang Sheng said, "Brother Qing, I have already discussed this matter with Jiahe's people. The two new movies, Young and Dangerous: Part Two and Storm Riders, are being filmed at the same time. Both are directed by Tik Wai Fung, and the cast has been finalized. However, Jiahe is preparing to invest, but the specific amount of investment has not yet been determined."

"In addition, there are new songs being released by Ah Kui and Jenny at the music company. Jiahe can also help promote the release, but because the previous issue with Shaw Brothers has not been resolved, it has been delayed until now."

"Now that this matter has been resolved, we can start promoting the film and music."

Di Qing nodded: "Okay, I will go to the group to handle it myself tomorrow."

"Yeah." The three women nodded.

After discussing the recent situation of the group, Di Qing chatted with them for a while, then washed up and went to bed.

……

the next day.

Several people got up and rushed to Qinglong Group together.

Sham Tseng Bay, Tsing Long Building.

At this time, the workers of the decoration team were still busy decorating the upper floors.

However, the group is operating normally.

Qiu Di is the manager of the human resources department, and her office is on the second floor. Everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed with her last night, and Di Qing did not disturb her. He took Gang Sheng and A Run and went straight to the entertainment department on the fifth floor, ready to first settle the matters concerning the film preparation and music promotion.

The Entertainment Department is the best developed department in Qinglong Group at the moment. It has a wide range of positions and dozens of people working there.

As the only director in the entertainment department, Di Weifeng has a very high status and naturally has his own exclusive office.

When he heard the news that Di Qing was coming, Di Weifeng hurried to the manager's office to visit him and report on the work progress of the past few days.

Di Qing didn't come to the group these days. Di Weifeng has been in contact with Jiahe's people to discuss the modification of the script and the selection of actors.

The second part of "Young and Dangerous", whose full name is "Young and Dangerous 2: The Way of the Dragon", tells the story of the protagonist Chen Haonan and Da Fei competing for the leader of Causeway Bay. On the other hand, it flashes back to a series of events that happened after Shan Ji fled to Taiwan and joined the Triple Gang.

Of course, since both the Hung Hing and the Tri-Union Gang really exist in this world, it is naturally impossible to use the original names.

As with the first film, the names of these gangs and main characters have all been changed.

In addition, the main actors of this movie are still Chen Haonan and others, and the female lead is still Arun.

As for other major supporting roles, Di Weifeng also followed Di Qing's advice. Qinglong Group discovered and trained a group of new faces on its own, and also employed some actors from Jiahe.

For example, the Sanlian Gang leader Lei Gong and Lei Gong’s mistress Ding Yao were played by actors from Jiahe.

There is also "Feng Yun Xiong Ba Tian Xia" co-produced with Jiahe. This costume martial arts film with two male protagonists was also produced according to Di Qing's instructions, with Chen Haonan and Jiahe's superstar Hong Ye as the starring actors.

Chen Haonan plays Nie Feng, Hong Ye plays Bu Jingyun, and A Run also plays the female lead Kong Ci.

Some of the other main supporting roles are also half new and half old. The new actors are those discovered and signed by Qinglong Pictures themselves, and the old actors are from Jiahe.

Speaking of this kind of cooperation, Jiahe is at a disadvantage.

After all, Jiahe's actors have already starred in many movies and have some fame. As long as the movie is released, it can bring in a lot of box office revenue.

On the other hand, on the Qinglong Film side, except for Chen Haonan and A Run, all the others are new faces and pure amateurs.

According to this cooperation mode, Jiahe is equivalent to training new actors for Qinglong Film. But the script was provided by Di Qing after all, and these were all discussed in advance by Di Qing and Zou Jiwen. The two sides did not dwell on these issues and settled it after only two days of discussion.

However, there is still a problem now. That is, the movie "Feng Yun" is different from "Young and Dangerous". It is not only a costume martial arts drama, but also a high-level martial arts fantasy movie. Therefore, the various fighting scenes in it need to be accompanied by special effects to achieve the desired effect.

In this era, special effects production is very expensive.

If special effects are added, the investment cost of this film will also increase.

Based on the various special effects needed, the special effects of this movie alone would cost at least 15 million or even 20 million Hong Kong dollars. If other expenses and the actors' salaries are added, the cost alone is estimated to be at least 30 million.

You have to know that Jiahe's operating method is different from Shaw Brothers. Shaw Brothers' actors basically receive a monthly salary, while Jiahe receives a monthly salary plus film remuneration based on their fame and ability.

Hong Ye is Jiahe's top star. His salary for each drama alone starts at at least eight million!

Therefore, we have not yet reached an agreement with Jiahe on the investment sharing.

After listening to Di Weifeng's report, Di Qing hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "For the second part of Young and Dangerous, if Jiahe wants to invest, we will give them a maximum of 20% of the quota."

"As for Feng Yun, if they are afraid of taking risks and are not prepared to invest, we can invest the full amount, but the share of the profits will have nothing to do with them."

"If they are willing to invest, it can't exceed 50%. This is what Mr. Zou and I have agreed on in advance."

Di Qing could understand Jiahe's concerns, but the value of these two films had been verified by the market in the previous life. As long as they were filmed according to the script, the box office would definitely not be too bad.

What's more, it can be exported and sold as various peripherals in the future, so it is 100% profitable.

Anyway, the investment opportunity has been given to you. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on Jiahe himself.

"Okay, I'll go over to Jiahe today and talk about it again."

Di Weifeng nodded.

Di Qing nodded, then looked at Gang Sheng and continued, "Also, we can start promoting Ah Kui and Jenny's new songs. It doesn't matter if we spend more money. The most important thing is to make a name for ourselves. While the popularity of our Qinglong Group has not died down yet, I want to make the four words 'Qinglong Music' a big hit!"

"Okay, President." Gangsheng nodded obediently.

Afterwards, he discussed with them various details of the film and music promotion. After finalizing everything, Di Qing left the entertainment department and went to the security department on the fourth floor with Long Wu.

……

As soon as the elevator door opened, bursts of banging and low roaring sounds came from the front.

Di Qing looked and saw figures in singlet training suits exercising on various fitness equipment in the training ground in front. Some were doing various aerobic exercises, some were running on treadmills, some were hitting sandbags, and others were fighting on the ring in the middle, making noises of grunts, shouts and yells from time to time.

They all look strong, with bulging muscles and full of power.

Tang Twelve, Coke, Ahua, and Awu stood aside to direct the training.

From a distance, it looks like a vibrant scene.

"Qing... President!"

"Mr. Di, you are here!"

As soon as Di Qing walked into the training ground, two younger brothers in work clothes sitting at the front desk quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.

Since all the people in the security department are brothers from the society and they don't recruit outsiders, it's almost all men here, and the masculine energy is very strong.

"Brother Qing?"

"President……"

Hearing the noise, Tang Twelve and others in the training ground looked back and then came forward.

Although Tang Twelve, Coke and Jiuwenlong were now the club leaders, they all worked in the security department, so they still considered themselves as members of the Qinglong Group and put the group first. They still went to work and trained normally during the day.

Because they know very well where everything they have come from.

Without Di Qing, they would be nothing.

"Well, everyone continue training. Twelve, you guys come over."

Di Qing walked to the entrance of the training ground, took a look, gave some instructions to his younger brothers who were exercising, and then brought Tang Twelve and others to the meeting room of the Security Department.

In the conference room, everyone took their seats one by one.

Di Qing sat in the main seat and looked at Tang Twelve, Kele and Jiu Wenlong first, and asked, "How are the affairs of the hall being handled?"

Tang Twelve said, "There are no problems here in Mong Kok. The brothers are all in the security department in name only. I heard that you, Brother Qing, have become the leader. Everyone is very happy and has no objection to me being the boss of Mong Kok."

"After the police solve the Tung Sing case in a couple of days, we will take back the sites and venues on Canton Road and Argyle Street and sign a security contract with the shops and vendors there."

Di Qing nodded and looked at Kele and Jiu Wenlong: "What about you?"

Jiu Wenlong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a little difficult in Sham Shui Po, but I can handle it."

The person in charge of Sham Shui Po before was Liang Ma.

But Liang Ma was ignorant of the current situation and secretly colluded with Jiang Tianyang, trying to get Jiang Tianyang back to take charge of the situation.

Di Qing would naturally not show mercy to such an ignorant person.

She and Jiang Tianyang disappeared last night.

This matter was handled by Jiu Wenlong himself.

Jiu Wenlong is now the boss of Sham Shui Po, and Liang Ma has been developing her business there for many years. Naturally, she will have some subordinates who are loyal to her, so it is normal for some people to be dissatisfied.

However, since Jiu Wenlong has become the boss, he naturally has to handle these things himself. If a boss cannot even control the people under him, he will not be able to succeed in the future.

And since Jiu Wenlong said he could handle it, Di Qing was too lazy to intervene. He let him do it himself first and then deal with it if he couldn't do it.

"By the way, go and discuss with Da Fei about merging the territories in Shek Kip Mei and Beacon Hill into the Sham Shui Po area."

Da Fei, the boss of the "Li Zi Tou" gang, is now one of us.

However, Di Qing has been busy dealing with Dongxing these days and has no time to make arrangements for him.

It just so happens that Jiu Wenlong has gone to Sham Shui Po to be the boss, and we are all family now, so anything can be discussed easily.

"Okay." Jiuwenlong nodded.

"What about you, A Le?" Di Qing looked at Ke Le again.

Coke is now the boss of Chai Wan, which used to be Niu Lao’s territory and is located in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island.

"There's no big problem on my side. I went over to take over the place last night and everyone was very cooperative." Coke said.

"Okay, then you can handle it yourself, but don't do Niu Lao's loan sharking business in the future. If you want to do it, set up your own financial company and don't charge interest that exceeds the legal requirements. It's better to earn less than to be caught by the police." Di Qing said.

There are very few nightclubs in Chai Wan. Apart from collecting protection fees, Niu Lao mainly engaged in loan sharking.

But in Hong Kong Island, loan sharking is also illegal.

"Okay." Coke nodded in agreement.

Di Qing nodded, then looked at the remaining four people, Ah Hua, Ah Wu, Wei Jixiang and Luo Tianhong, and said calmly: "This time I let Twelve and the other three be the leaders, and I didn't arrange for you. You guys don't have any objections, right?"

"no!"

"No, Brother Qing!"

The four of them quickly shook their heads.

They also knew themselves well. Tang Twelve and his men were the first to follow Di Qing, and in terms of ability, they were no weaker than them, so naturally they would not have any objections.

"It's fine if you don't."

Di Qing nodded and said, "This time it's the Twelve and the others. When there's a chance in the future, I'll arrange for you guys to take over. However, Hong Kong will be returned to China in a few years, and the business of the society won't last long. The reason why I opened the company is that I want to slowly whitewash my brothers. As for the society, you'd better keep a low profile in the future, and don't let the police target you and catch any evidence against you."

"understand!"

"Got it, Brother Qing!"

Several people nodded.

"Yes." Di Qing nodded, then looked at Tang Twelve and said, "Twelve, please call the other people in charge for me and tell them that I will treat them to lunch at noon and ask them to come to Tsuen Wan."

"Okay." Tang Twelve didn't ask any more questions. He immediately picked up his phone and started making phone calls.

Di Qing took out a cigarette and gave each of them a cigarette. He also lit one for himself, leaned back in his chair, took a deep breath, and his eyes flickered.

Now that he is the leader of Hung Hing, his name must have been listed on the anti-blacklist of all major police stations.

He might even be ranked among the top few on the list of 'Top Ten Outstanding Young People in H Society'.

Therefore, while we have free time these few days, we should solve the problem of whitewashing the society’s business as soon as possible, so as to avoid any problems that will implicate the group.
