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

Chapter 237 The martial arts competition set off a storm in Hong Kong Island, and masters from all walks of life appeared one after another!
[Qinglong Group announced that it will invest 50 million Hong Kong dollars to hold a martial arts competition in Hong Kong Island in the near future, and sincerely invites martial artists from all over the world to participate. The first place winner of the competition will receive the "Martial God" honorary award, with a prize of up to 20 million Hong Kong dollars! ]

The next day.

Qinglong Daily published a piece of news that instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

After all, the current daily sales volume of Qinglong Daily is as high as 400,000 copies.

Hundreds of thousands of people saw this news, which was then passed on from one to ten, from ten to a hundred... and it immediately caused a huge shock.

Countless interested citizens flocked to various newsstands to buy today's Qinglong Daily, which pushed the sales of today's Qinglong Daily to a new level.

When the whole Hong Kong Island saw the content published in the newspaper, it was instantly boiling.

Investing 50 million to hold this martial arts competition, and winning first place can actually get a prize of 20 million? !
What the hell is Qinglong Group doing?

For a moment, some people were shocked, some were excited, but many people also questioned the authenticity of the matter, wondering if this was fake news deliberately released by the Qinglong Group to gain attention?

But soon after, TVB News and ATV News both released a notice at the same time:

【TVB (ATV) has reached a cooperation with the Culture Department of Qinglong Group and will broadcast the Hong Kong Island Wushu Competition live from October 10st! 】

Now, the entire Hong Kong Island population was really boiling with excitement.

No matter what the Qinglong Group is doing.

But the simultaneous announcements from TVB and ATV, the two major free TV stations, directly confirmed the authenticity of the incident.

In other words, Qinglong Group is actually prepared to spend 50 million to hold this martial arts competition? !

Immediately, reporters from many newspapers and media went to Tsuen Wan Qinglong Building to wait and see if they could catch Di Qing and get more news intelligence.

Then, not long after that, Qinglong Group took the initiative to contact the newspaper media behind these reporters and announced a press conference.

So the paparazzi no longer had to hide and swarmed directly into the Qinglong Building.

10 o'clock in the morning.

Almost all newspaper media in Hong Kong were present.

The chairman and executive president of Qinglong Group, accompanied by the head of the group's culture and martial arts department, Taizi, and a number of senior executives from other departments, attended the event in formal attire and answered questions from media reporters.

"Mr. Di, is it true that your Qinglong Group invested 50 million to host the Hong Kong Island Martial Arts Competition?"

"It's true." Di Qing faced the camera and responded with a smile.

"So your Qinglong Daily said that the first place winner of the competition will receive a prize of up to 20 million. Is this true?"

"That's right. Not only the first place winner will receive a prize, but the second place, third place, and even all the contestants will receive gifts prepared by our Qinglong Martial Arts School."

"Qinglong Martial Arts School? Mr. Di, do you mean that your Qinglong Group has also established a martial arts school?"

"Yes, our Qinglong Martial Arts School will officially open on the 15th of this month. The address of the martial arts school is 28 Yichang Street, Tsim Sha Tsui. Friends who are interested are welcome to attend the opening ceremony on site."

"Mr. Di, didn't your Qinglong Group obtain the right to demolish and rebuild the Kowloon Walled City? But why has it been so long and you still haven't started construction?"

"We are currently still doing preparatory work for the demolition and will notify everyone when the work starts."

"Excuse me……"

"The theme of today's press conference is the Wushu Competition. Can this reporter ask a question about the Wushu Competition?"

"Okay, then may I ask Mr. Di, why do you hold this Hong Kong Island Martial Arts Competition?"

"It is mainly to promote our Chinese martial arts."

"Chinese martial arts? Mr. Di, are you talking about the fancy martial arts?"

"Mr. Reporter, I want to correct you. Our Chinese martial arts are not just fancy moves. You will see the details when we attend the martial arts competition."

"Then Mr. Di, may I ask what are the requirements for the participants in this martial arts competition you are hosting?"

"Regardless of nationality or identity, anyone who practices martial arts can participate, including but not limited to karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai and other mixed martial arts and free fighting styles. All martial artists are welcome to participate and exchange ideas."

"Mr. Di, do you mean that all martial artists can participate, regardless of their level of skill? Then I have learned Wing Chun for two and a half years, so can I also participate?"

"If this gentleman feels that he can take a beating, then of course there is no problem."

……

Two hours later, the press conference ended.

Reporters from major radio and television stations immediately rushed back to their own companies and broadcast the news of the interview as soon as possible, hoping to catch the first wave of popularity.

……

As the interview process and competition entry requirements were released, the popularity of the martial arts competition increased further.

In less than half a day, it caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong Island. Almost everywhere you went you could hear people discussing the matter.

Central business center.

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie, dressed like a nouveau riche, was walking down the street with a young man dressed in an old-fashioned way and carrying a tattered suitcase on his shoulder.

The young man looked like a country bumpkin, looking left and right along the way, appearing curious about everything, attracting the attention of passers-by.

The middle-aged man covered his head, looking as if I didn't know him, feeling extremely embarrassed.

But when he turned around, he saw the boy staring at the window of the shopping mall next to him. The man walked over helplessly and shouted, "Along, can you hurry up? This is a famous brand. I, your uncle, have no money. I can't afford it even if I look at it!"

"No, uncle master, I'm watching TV." The young man said without turning his head, still staring at the TV in the mall.

"What's so good about TV? I have a TV at home, let's go back and watch it!" The man was speechless.

The young man quickly said, "No, there was a martial arts competition on TV..."

"Martial arts competition?"

The man was stunned when he heard this, then he quickly walked over and looked through the glass at the TV in the mall. He saw that the TV was broadcasting the process of Qinglong Group holding a press conference:
"Mr. Di, then your Qinglong Daily said that the first place winner of the competition will receive a prize of up to 20 million. Is this true?"

"That's right. Not only the first place winner will receive a prize, but the second and third place winners, and even all the contestants, will receive gifts prepared by our Qinglong Martial Arts School..."

A 20 million bonus?!

The man's eyes lit up instantly and he watched more carefully.

The uncle and nephew both pressed their faces against the window of the shopping mall, ignoring the gazes of passers-by around them.

After a while, the news report was over, and the man's breathing became more and more rapid. He immediately turned around, excitedly pulled the young man, and said, "Along, we got the prize money, 20 million! As long as you can win the game, you can have whatever you want in Hong Kong Island in the future, and Uncle will buy it all for you!"

"No, uncle-master, my father doesn't allow me to gamble." The young man shook his head quickly.

The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly advised: "This is not gambling, this is a competition, and didn't your father ask you to promote our Chinese martial arts and carry forward the kung fu of your uncle Bruce Lee? This is a good opportunity, it will be on TV, and then the whole of Hong Kong Island... no, the whole world will be able to see it!"

"Really?"

The young man's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was still a little hesitant: "But my father said that as long as you give money, it's gambling..."

The man said impatiently, "Well, at most you can win the game and not take the prize money, right? When you get the 'God of War' trophy, the whole world will know you. Don't you think it's impressive?"

"Great!"

The young man immediately became excited and nodded, saying, "Master, you're right. If you don't ask for money after winning, it's not considered gambling!"

"This way we can promote Uncle Bruce Lee's martial arts, and it doesn't violate my father's rule that gambling is forbidden. Uncle, you are really smart!"

The man's mouth twitched: "Thank you for praising me!"

"You're welcome!" The young man waved his hand generously, then looked at the TV in the mall and said solemnly: "Okay, Uncle Master, I'll go to this martial arts competition!"

The man was immediately delighted when he heard this, patted the young man on the shoulder, and encouraged him, "Okay, if we join forces, we will definitely be invincible and win the championship!"

"That's right, win the championship and promote Chinese martial arts!" The young man also clenched his fists and cheered.

At this moment, the man seemed to have thought of something, and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, such a high prize money will definitely attract many experts to participate. I'm afraid that the two of us alone will not be enough..."

The young man was also stunned when he heard this: "Yes, uncle, what should we do then?"

The man's face changed, and he immediately pulled the young man around and said, "Let's go back to Tai O! To be on the safe side, we have to invite your father as well!" "Ah? You just came and you're going back? Can't you play for two days first?"

"Stop talking nonsense, kid! Do you still want to promote Chinese martial arts..."

……

In front of a martial arts training ground called Global Elite Center in Sheung Wan.

Behind a small shop with a sign that reads 'Savior of Cowards'.

A lame man was lying on a chair with his legs crossed, reading a pornographic magazine. While listening to the report on TV, he suddenly stopped, put down the magazine, revealing a lewd face, and stared at the TV on the wall.

"Martial arts competition?"

"Twenty million in prize money for the champion?!"

The man's eyes almost popped out of his head, his breathing was rapid, and there was a strong passion in his eyes: "Martial Arts Competition, it's finally my turn to make a name for myself with my ancient Chinese boxing skills!"

"Besides, there's a 50 million prize. Even if you don't win the championship, as long as you're in the top ten you'll get ... slurp!"

The man swallowed, but when he saw the steel plates on his legs, his eyes suddenly dimmed again.

"It's a pity that I'm lame, otherwise I could still fight for it..."

The man couldn't help but sigh, his sigh was full of regret, and he murmured: "How much sorrow can you have? It's like a river of spring water flowing eastward..."

"Hey! Ha!"

Just then, a low shout suddenly came from the side.

At the back door, a young man in a white T-shirt was standing in front of a large pot filled with black substance, practicing iron sand palm while sweating profusely.

The man's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the young man who was sweating profusely. After a change of expression, he suddenly shouted, "A Yin?"

"What are you doing, Master?"

The young man paused, turned around and asked in confusion.

The man stood up vigorously, limped to the young man, stared at him with burning eyes, and asked: "A Yin, do you want to become famous and promote the ancient Chinese boxing?"

The young man named Yin shook his head: "No, I just want to practice Kung Fu well, defeat the black bear in the judo club, and let Ali date me."

"..."

The man paused, and said with some regret: "What is a mere black bear? Our ancient Chinese boxing is the nemesis of all Japanese martial arts!"

"There is a martial arts competition right now. If you can win the championship, you can make Chinese martial arts famous all over the world. By then, don't just talk about Ali. There will be as many women as you want!"

"Really?!"

Ah Yin's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Then I'll participate! I'll participate! When is the competition, Master?"

"The 1th of next month."

"Ah? Doesn't that mean there's only half a month left? Can I win the championship in such a short time?" Yin was shocked.

"Humph!"

The man snorted and said, "With my training, even if there are only three days left, let alone half a month, I can train you into a first-class master!"

"From today on, I will teach you the real ancient Chinese boxing, so that you can shine in this martial arts competition and spread the reputation of our ancient Chinese boxing!"

"Let people know that I, the Devil Muscle Man, am not just a name for nothing!"

Ghost King Da said in a decisive tone.

"Real ancient Chinese boxing?"

Ah Yin was stunned for a moment: "Master, so what you taught me before was not the real ancient Chinese boxing?"

"Uh……"

Ghost King Da paused for a moment, then waved his hand and took a yellow donation box with the words 'Everyone Can Practice' written on it from the side, saying: "Don't worry about these details. Okay, stop talking nonsense and pay the money quickly... No, donate money!"

"But... I have no money left, Master. I have donated all my money during this period of time!" Ah Yin looked embarrassed.

"What? You want to practice martial arts without any money? Fuck you!"

……

at the same time.

In a conference room at the Global Elite Center.

A man wearing a black Zhongshan suit, with a hint of rebelliousness between his brows, stared at the TV with burning eyes.

"Hong Kong Island Martial Arts Competition?"

"I didn't expect to encounter such a grand event right after I came back. It's exactly what I want!"

"This time, I want the whole world to know that only karate is the strongest martial art on earth. All other martial arts are garbage!"

In addition to this man, there were four other men sitting in the conference room. They were also very excited as they watched the news about the martial arts competition on TV.

But when they heard what the man in the Zhongshan suit said, their faces darkened.

A long-haired man wearing training clothes, a sturdy figure, and gold-rimmed glasses couldn't help but stand up and question: "Hey, kid, what do you mean, you dare to say that my judo is rubbish?"

The man came back to his senses, glanced at the man with glasses, smiled slightly, and said, "Sorry, I'm not targeting you."

"I mean everyone here is garbage!"

As he spoke, the man glanced at the other three people with disdain.

"what?!"

"Boy, you are too arrogant. I will punish you!"

The four of them were immediately furious and stood up at the same time.

The long-haired man with glasses couldn't help but be the first to attack, and punched the man in the face.

But soon, screams were heard in the conference room.

"Ah! My Armani..."

……

"Chinese martial arts?"

In a luxurious high-end hotel in Wan Chai, a muscular Western man sat on the sofa with a glass of red wine, looking at the broadcast on TV with disdain on his face.

"Except for Bruce Lee back then, all other Chinese martial arts are just fancy moves!"

Hearing this, a sexy Chinese woman next to him looked at the man with admiration and said, "You are right, dear, you are the American boxing champion. If you participate in this martial arts competition, the championship will definitely be yours!"

The man did not comment, but smiled and said, "Yes, it's a rare trip to Hong Kong Island, and I just happened to encounter this martial arts competition. Let these yellow-skinned monkeys see the power of our Western boxing!"

……

at the same time.

At the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal, a man dressed in Thai clothes just came ashore. Hearing the discussions of passers-by around him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Hong Kong Island Martial Arts Competition? What kind of competition is this?"

A man in a suit next to him immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Naimi, I heard that this is a martial arts competition held by a company called Qinglong Group in Hong Kong Island. The winner can get 20 million Hong Kong dollars!"

Naimi's face immediately showed a hint of interest: "Are there many people participating in this competition?"

“There should be a lot!”

The man in the suit nodded and said, "No one in Hong Kong has ever held such a large martial arts competition, and the prize money has never been so high, so this competition will definitely attract many masters to participate!"

"Very good, I like to fight with masters!"

Naimi nodded with satisfaction, looked at the man and said, "Jack, please help me sign up."

"No problem, Mr. Naimi. With your skills, you will definitely be the champion of this competition!" the man said hurriedly.

Naimi did not comment, but smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether I win the championship or not. I mainly want to see the real Chinese martial arts and see which one is better than our Muay Thai. This is also the main reason why I came to Hong Kong Island this time. I hope Chinese martial arts will not disappoint me."

……

North Point, Tsukamoto Building.

"Martial arts competition? Search them to death!"

Looking at the news on TV, Kenji Tsukamoto, chairman of the Tsukamoto Group, showed a look of realization after listening to the report from his subordinates.

Then, he looked at his subordinates and ordered, "Hasn't Mr. Yamamoto always wanted to see real Chinese martial arts? You can contact him to come to Hong Kong Island, so that people all over the world can see the Bushido of our Great Japanese Empire!"

"Hi! President!"

The subordinate saluted respectfully, then turned around and went out to make arrangements.

……

As soon as the news of the Hong Kong Island Wushu Competition came out, it instantly attracted the attention of countless martial artists.

On the first day alone, hundreds of people called Qinglong Group to inquire about registration.

As for TVB and ATV, their programs became popular even before they were aired.

The popularity is unprecedented!
