Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 385 "384" Aunt Fang bows her head (Happy New Year!)

"That Fang Anxin is coming to the street~~"

"You wrongly accused Mr. Guan? You're a shovel~~"

"Didn't you, the ICAC, claim that you are the last line of defense for Hong Kong Island? Please don't let us down."

Citizens who bought newspapers in the surrounding area complained to Lu Zhilian.

"Everyone, the specific actions need to be arranged by the leadership..."

He also didn't dare to guarantee that he would investigate the Financial Secretary.

That's the Financial Secretary. Lu Zhilian's salary is paid by the Financial Secretary. What if the leader doesn't agree?
Lu Zhilian arrived at the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and as soon as he entered the office, he was greeted by the familiar busy atmosphere.

Lu Zhilian greeted his colleagues.

"Morning, Sir Lu!"

"Good morning everyone~~"

"Mr. Lu, did you watch the ATV interview last night? This matter is quite a big deal!" A colleague came over and whispered.

"Looked."

Lu Zhilian responded.

"I'm afraid our ICAC will be busy."

I chatted with other colleagues for a few minutes, mostly talking about what happened last night.

As he was speaking, his boss Yu Hongsheng came hurriedly: "Zhi Lian, let's go to the meeting."

Lu Zhilian straightened his collar and walked quickly towards the meeting room.

When I opened the door, I saw a group of foreign bosses sitting around the conference table, talking in low voices.

Lu Zhilian and Yu Hongsheng walked into the meeting room and sat down.

At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Thompson, the department leader, spoke first: "Gentlemen, I believe everyone is aware of the ATV interview last night. The matter exposed by Guan Zu is very serious and we at the ICAC must pay attention to it."

"Everyone, please share your opinions."

"Sir, I have an idea. Before taking action, there is a key issue that must be resolved first. The authenticity of the recording that Guan Zu produced is questionable. This is the foundation of the entire investigation." said a foreigner.

"No, I don't think so. Based on the current situation, although it is impossible to directly determine the authenticity of the recording, the content it reveals is very consistent with the recent abnormal actions of the tax bureau and the suspicious reports of TVB."

“Whether the recording is real or not, the matter of the Financial Secretary and the Taxation Department must be investigated.”

Another foreigner said: "But there is one thing we have to consider. Everyone knows that the Financial Secretary controls the financial power (paying salaries). Now that we want to investigate the Deputy Financial Secretary, do we have to consult the Governor first?"

Thompson nodded slightly: "I will report to the Governor personally."

"Ah Sheng, regarding this incident, your team must act quickly."

Yu Hongsheng: "Please rest assured, our team will take prompt action. The plan is: On the one hand, we will immediately send someone to the tax bureau to investigate the original files of all recent reported cases."

"On the other hand, we actively contacted the personnel in the department responsible for receiving reports to gain an in-depth understanding of their daily work norms and whether any abnormal instructions have been issued recently."

"I believe that as long as we investigate further, we will be able to find something."

"In addition, we have to fully investigate the possible interest chain between the tax bureau and TVB and investigate the relevant personnel..."

at this time,

Ring ring ring~~~
Thompson's cell phone rang.

Private number.

Press it off.

A meeting ended in 1 hour.

Thompson returned to the office, took another phone and called back. Fang Anxin's voice came from the other end of the line.

"no problem……"

"But I want double my share..."

In fact, foreigners don’t care about justice or the legal system, they only care about how much money they can make.

There are still more than 5 years left, why not make some money quickly?

……

……

It's also 9:00.

Downstairs of the Five Star Group.

As soon as the members of the tax inspection team arrived at the Five Star Group building, they were caught in an awkward situation where they could not move forward or backward.

Reporters from ATV and many newspapers had been waiting here early. As soon as they saw them appear, they swarmed over like a tide and surrounded them.

"Excuse me, everyone in the tax audit team, what is your explanation for the collusion between the tax bureau and TVB mentioned by Mr. Guan Zu in his interview with ATV last night?"

An ATV reporter put the microphone into the team leader's mouth and ejaculated in his mouth.

I don’t know if it was intentional.

"Haha~~~"

All the reporters in the audience were delighted.

Other reporters also said:

"The recording shows that your tax inspection was ordered by the top management and specifically targeted the Five Star Group. Is that true?"

"The recording said that the report letter was forged. Did you really forge it on purpose?"

Questions came one after another, like a string of cannonballs.

The members of the tax inspection team were caught off guard by the questions.

Several members of the tax team were actually righteous in their hearts. They thought that this inspection was a routine tax inspection task.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be retaliation.

This made these team members very disgusted.

The team leader gritted his teeth and tried to push through the crowd: "Everyone, we are just following the procedures, please don't interfere with official business."

But his voice was instantly drowned out by the noisy questions.

At this time, the employees in the Five Star Group building also stopped to watch, looking at the chaotic scene through the glass windows, gloating.

……

Financial Secretary Building,
Downstairs, there were many reporters waiting, all ready to interview Fang Anxin.

……

On the other side, a group of reporters were also waiting at Fang Anxin's villa.

……

ATV sent many reporters to conduct street interviews.

Randomly interview a neighbor on the street:
"What do you think about what happened last night?"

"What do you think about this matter..." In addition to interviewing ordinary neighbors, we also interviewed the seven business owners who were investigated.

Of course these seven bosses were angry. They used foul language during the interview, saying things like "fuck you", "fuck you", "fuck you", and cursed the Tax Department for being despicable and shameless... They cursed Fang Anxin's ancestors to pieces.

Well, Cantonese is just willful!
……

……

10 points,
Peninsula Hotel.

In the Chinese restaurant, Mr. Shao has sat at his own table for decades.

"Mr. Guan~~"

"Mr. Shao~~~"

Guan Zu, as a junior, shook hands with Mr. Shao.

Mr. Shao is 87 years old this year, but he seems to be in good spirits.

This was the first time that Guan Zu met and had dinner with Mr. Shao formally.

He vaguely remembered that the first time he met Mr. Shao was when he and Mr. Zhu from China Resources Group were having dinner at the Peninsula Hotel.

"This must be Mrs. Guan, she is indeed gentle and virtuous..." Mr. Shao looked at Ruan Mei who was beside Guan Zu and said with a smile.

Don't use the word "beautiful" to describe it, because using the word "beautiful" at this time would make you seem poorly educated.

Ruan Mei was very happy to hear this: "Hello, Mr. Shao, I have been listening to your stories since I was a child. It is a great honor to meet you today."

Mr. Shao also brought Aunt Fang with him, but Guan Zu simply ignored her, which made Aunt Fang a little angry.

The four of them took their seats.

Order from the menu.

Make tea…

Mr. Shao asked Aunt Fang to make tea. After all, she was a concubine and her status was the lowest among the three.

Ruan Mei felt a little secretly delighted.

Then we started chatting about family matters. Maybe because I’m getting old, I like to talk about the past.

Shao Daheng talked about his birth and schooling in Shanghai, and then said that when he graduated from high school at the age of 19, he followed his brother to Malaysia and Singapore...

"At that time, my elder brother and I took a few sets of clothes, some money, and a silent film projector, which was very expensive to us."

"At that time, my brother and I were determined to make a career in the film industry..."

In 1930, Shaw Brothers Company was established in Singapore. It traveled to Malaysia, Singapore and other places to screen and promote films, starting with open-air screenings, gradually entering theaters, and eventually establishing a complete film distribution network.

Guan Zu listened with great interest.

eat melon.

Then Mr. Shao mentioned Aunt Fang: "At that time... my brother and I came to Hong Kong Island with a light load. Among so many women, I brought Ah Hua..."

Then we talked about He Li's family, the establishment of TVB, and the establishment of cinemas...

"My eldest brother is in charge of Shaw Cinemas, and I am in charge of TVB..."

Speaking of the glory of Shaw Studios, Shaw Studios is known as the Hollywood of the East.

When talking about these, Shao Daheng's face always beamed.

Finally, he became depressed again. His brother passed away, and he no longer cared about Shaw Cinemas. Shaw Cinemas was losing ground in the film industry.

A full half hour.

Shao Daheng sighed and said apologetically: "Thank you, Mr. Guan, for listening to me nagging for so long..."

Guan Zu raised his glass: "It is my honor that Mr. Shao can share with me."

Eating melons is quite fun.

The two clinked glasses and drank tea.

After saying this, Mr. Shao perked up and looked at Aunt Fang and said:

"You did something wrong this time. Mr. Guan was also negatively affected because of you. You should apologize."

Aunt Fang stood up shyly and bowed to Guan Zu:

"Mr. Guan, I was wrong about what happened before. I hope you can forgive me."

Guan Zu nodded slightly, his expression calm: "Auntie Fang, now that we have spoken, I hope that such things will not happen again in the future."

However, Guan Zu is not the kind of person who would suffer a loss.

Guan Zu looked at Mr. Shao and said, "Mr. Shao, to be honest, we are very short of talent in ATV. TVB is full of talent, and I hope to recruit a few actors from it."

Aunt Fang's face changed immediately.

After hearing this, Mr. Shao thought for a moment and said, "Which ones do you want?"

Guan Zu: "I want Luo Jialiang, Ma Guoming, Guo Jinan..."

All three of them are TV Kings with superb acting skills.

Luo Jialiang produced many excellent works between 1991 and 1999. Dramas such as "Heaven and Earth Man" and "Hard-Hard Buddies" made him famous. He has superb acting skills and is very popular with the audience.

Ma Guoming is naturally popular with the audience, has a steady demeanor, and has superb acting skills, and is deeply loved by the audience.

He has already poached Ouyang Pangpang. With these three together, they can form the Four Tigers of ATV.

By the way, Yin Tianzhao is also from ATV and he became very popular later on.

That's the Five Tigers.

As for women, ATV has the most approachable and popular Guan Yonghe, as well as the long-legged Meng Qiwen.

It’s enough to carry the banner for the time being.

Four TV Kings and two TV Queens are enough to cope with ATV's temporary expansion.

Mr. Shao thought about it and readily agreed: "Since Mr. Guan thinks highly of them, I will naturally help them."

Guan Zu raised his glass: "Thank you, Mr. Shao"

After the meal, the two sides parted ways.

Aunt Fang followed Mr. Shao into the car with an unconvinced look on her face: "These three actors are our mainstays, why should they be given a discount to ATV!"

Mr. Shao didn't care: "If you do something wrong, you must admit it. If you don't want to be pursued by Guan Zu, then agree to his conditions."

Soon, Gallen Lo, Kenneth Ma and Roger Kwok received a notice from TVB that their contracts would be transferred to ATV.

Luo Jialiang, Ma Guoming, Guo Jinan: "????"

No, I am loyal to TVB!
Soon they arrived at ATV, where they were personally received by Guan Zu, who then discussed their salaries and remuneration.

Luo Jialiang, Ma Guoming and Guo Jinan shouted:

"ATV, Loyalty!"
