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

Chapter 451 "450" ​​Battle for Public Opinion! Fei Peng: Haha, Guan Zu made a mistake!

With Fei Peng's order, the police team acted quickly.

a new day,
At 10 a.m., the Public Relations Branch of the Police Force held a press conference.

A row of tables were placed on the stage.
Three seats.

One is Bob, the Senior Assistant Commissioner in charge of the Operations Department, one is the Head of the Public Relations Branch (Chief Superintendent), and the other is Ji Shaoqun, the first person at the operation site.

The appearance of Ji Shaoqun, a senior inspector, at this occasion can be regarded as an overnight achievement.

Why put Ji Shaoqun here? The people above just want to increase the persuasiveness: as a front-line police officer, there will be absolutely no problem handling the case personally.

The senior assistant director personally showed up, on the one hand to add solemnity to the event, and on the other hand because Director Bob himself wanted to curry favor with Fat Peng.

“Dear media friends, thank you all for coming.”

The Chief Superintendent of Public Relations Branch gave his opening remarks and introduced Senior Assistant Directors Bob and Kei Siu-kwan.

"We are holding a press conference here today to inform everyone of a major case of losing fans."

"Now, please allow Director Bob to introduce the case to everyone."

Bob wore a white police uniform and carried a double-staffed Harvest Flower and a military star on his shoulder.

"Just yesterday, the Police Operations Department received a reliable report that someone was engaging in fan activities at the Golden Palace nightclub in Mong Kok."

“The Operations Department quickly organized police forces and launched a rigorous deployment.”

"After careful investigation, we identified the suspect - Hongxing leader B. After obtaining sufficient evidence, we launched the arrest operation at 22:, the peak business hour of the nightclub."

"During the operation, we successfully seized one kilogram of high-purity heroin in the nightclub box."

Below the stage, flash lights kept flashing.

"This is the main executor of this operation, Senior Inspector Ji Shaoqun. He is an elite police officer in the police force. He has solved four major cases in two years and has outstanding abilities."

"Next, he will give you a detailed introduction to the details of the operation."

Ji Shaoqun stood up and said, "Dear reporters, I am Ji Shaoqun, a senior inspector of the drug investigation department... At that time, when we entered the box, the criminal suspect, Big Brother B, was with Chen Haonan and a group of people. When they saw us, they showed strong resistance and resistance... We quickly controlled the situation and found the package of heroin in one place."

He spoke vividly, like a brave and fearless law enforcer.

I spoke for 3 minutes and that was it.

"Okay... Now it's time for the interview..."

"Director Bob, are you sure that this 1 kilogram of heroin belongs to Boss B? Is there a possibility of misunderstanding?" a reporter asked loudly.

Bob replied seriously, "We found a packaging bag with Big Boss B's fingerprints on it at the scene. The evidence is irrefutable and there is no doubt about it."

"Also, after we brought back the packet of drug powder, we conducted a forensic examination on the packet of hydroxychloroquine and found the fingerprints of Big Boss B on it, so the evidence is irrefutable."

Next, the reporter continued to ask for details, and Bob kept saying...

but……

Bob sounded a little impatient.

Why don’t these reporters mention Guan Zu?

Just give me a heads up!
Unable to wait any longer, Bob had to take the initiative himself.

"I know you must be very curious now. Councillor Guan Zu has a close relationship with Big Boss B. He was even the boss of Councillor Guan when he was a member of the Hongxing Young and Dangerous Gang... I know you are very curious about whether this incident will have an impact on Guan Zu? Will the police investigate Guan Zu?"

As soon as this question was asked, the scene fell silent.

The reporters even leaned back a little.

No, we are not curious at all and don’t want to ask!
You're forcing shit upon us.

As the most well-informed media reporters, everyone knew that this was a fight between the Governor of Hong Kong and Guan Zu. Moreover, they had heard before that Hongxing would not touch fans, and Guan Zu's boss would be even less likely to touch fans, so it was possible that they framed him.

Fight your own fights, don't drag us into this.

"Don't worry!"

Bob looked around the room with a determined look and responded righteously:
"Everyone is equal before the law. Our police force's duty is to maintain social fairness and justice and to crack down on all illegal and criminal activities. Even if this big boss B has Guan Zu behind him, even if Guan Zu is a legislator, the boss of the Five Star Group, and has great power, we will never tolerate him, will never be lenient, and will definitely investigate to the end and hold him accountable to the end!"

His voice was powerful and echoed throughout the entire press conference.

Ji Shaoqun echoed from the side, full of righteousness:

"That's right. This action is the best proof. No matter who is involved, we will not be disturbed by any external factors. The dignity of the law must not be trampled upon!"

The Chief Superintendent of Public Relations also stood up: "Justice will prevail!"

Reporters in the audience: “…………”

Good good good~~
As long as you are not embarrassed, we are the ones who are embarrassed, right?

You are awesome!
Soon, the press conference ended in a strange atmosphere.

……

the other side,
Chief Secretary,
At this time, the presidents of several newspapers were invited to meet with Director Hood.

They are: Hong Kong United Daily News, Hong Kong Times, Minsheng Daily and Hong Kong World Journal.

Why choose these four newspapers?

Among them, the Hong Kong United Daily News (under the Taiwan United Daily News Group), the Hong Kong Island Times (the orthodox newspaper of the Kuomintang), and the Minsheng Daily (under the Taiwan United Daily News Group) are in the Taiwan camp.

The Hong Kong World Journal is from the United States.

So if you want to win them over, these newspapers are the easiest to win over.

In the spacious and bright office of the Chief Secretary, Chief Secretary Hodder sat behind his desk, glancing at the four presidents in front of him.

smile.

"Everyone, I called you here today to ask you about media matters..."

"Everyone relax, we are just having a simple chat..."

Several newspaper presidents sat upright, backs straight, and smiled awkwardly.

"Regarding today's news reports, I noticed that your reports on Guan Zu seem to be somewhat reserved. Why is that?"

The presidents were silent.

Director Huo De smiled and said, "Why? Is there something you can't tell me?"

He looked around at the four people and finally looked at President Zhang of the Hong Kong United Daily News.

"President Zhang, please tell me..."

President Zhang said with a bitter face: "Director, we have our own difficulties. It's not that we don't want to report it, but if we over-report it and exaggerate it, we are afraid that we will get into trouble."

Hodder: "Trouble? What trouble?"

Under Hood's questioning, President Zhang had to tell the truth.

"what?"

"We in Hong Kong are a society ruled by law. How could something like this happen?!"

The director's tone was somewhat angry.
"This is outrageous! They dare to do this, it is illegal and criminal!"

"Don't worry, as long as you report truthfully, I will support you!"

The editor-in-chief of the Economic Daily News said cautiously: "Secretary, we certainly believe in your support. But Guan Zu has a great influence in Hong Kong Island, so we still have some concerns. Moreover, we have always adhered to the principle of news truth. Without solid evidence, we dare not exaggerate the report at will."

The director waved his hand impatiently: "You are being too cautious! You should know who Guan Zu is. He is a leftist, and some of his actions in Hong Kong have caused a lot of controversy. As a media, you have the responsibility to expose these things and let the public know the truth. Your reports should be bolder, don't be timid!"

The editor-in-chief of Minsheng Daily was distressed: "Director, we also want to speak out for social justice, but if our report causes certain consequences, I am afraid our newspaper will not be able to bear it."

"I've already said that I'll support you! I can arrange for the police to help you fish and arrest those who beat you." The director raised his voice, "Besides, isn't it also the mission of your newspaper to target the left?!"

The presidents looked at each other.

Having said that, we do have camps.

But... we can't be so stubborn... The boss above is not in Hong Kong Island, he can talk about the camp, but we are personally in Hong Kong Island!
Also, fishing?
Can catching a few gangsters influence Guan Zu?
Aren’t you afraid of facing even greater revenge from Guan Zu then?

Seeing that he was still not getting anywhere, Director Huode slammed the table and threatened.

"You don't want to help, right?!" "If you don't help, I'll have people check on you every day!"

"You are afraid of Guan Zu, but aren't you afraid of us?"

Presidents: “…………”

Mmp in my heart.

You guys can just fight if you want, why the hell are you dragging us into this?
at this point,

The editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong United Daily News was the first to grit his teeth.

"Since the director has said so, we will certainly do our best!"

Other presidents spoke out:

"We at the Economic Daily will also fully cooperate."

"Then our Minsheng Newspaper will rely on the director's care!"

“We will definitely support…”

However, he knew in his heart that the scope of the report could be larger, but not too large. He had to strike the right balance and not offend Guan Zu, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

"very good!"

Director Huo De finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. I believe you will not let me down. Remember, justice in Hong Kong needs the guidance of media with a sense of social responsibility like you."

The fourth president: Justice!

Huo De: "You all understand what is written in today's newspaper, right? You must bring Guan Zu with you, understand?"

The fourth president: "Yes! Director!"

After the four presidents left, Director Huo De met another person——Liang Shuyi.

Two hours ago, when Leung Suk-yee received a call from Chief Secretary David Hodgson asking her to meet him, she was so excited that she almost jumped up at home.

My pledge of allegiance finally paid off!

She knew very well that this was a rare opportunity, which might be able to change her current predicament.

Walking into the solemn and elegant director's office, Liang Shuyi's heart beat faster and faster.

"Director Hood!" She bowed slightly to Hood respectfully.

"Ms. Liang, I've long heard of your name." Huo De had a perfectly friendly smile on his face.

"Thank you for the compliment, Director. It is my honor to meet with you." Liang Shuyi responded quickly.

Huo De nodded slightly and got straight to the point: "Ms. Liang, I came to you because I have an important matter to discuss with you. You have been working in the journalism industry for many years and have accumulated a lot of connections and influence. I hope you can use these advantages to start a new newspaper."

When Liang Shuyi heard this, she understood it instantly and was immediately surprised!

really!

My chance has come!

She had just been fired by TVB and lost her foundation in the media industry. Now, Huo De sent her a pillow!
……

……

At noon and in the evening, TVB and ATV reported news about Big Brother B, but neither mentioned Guan Zu.

The response in Causeway Bay was the greatest, and many citizens were very shocked. It was unexpected that everyone in Hong Kong Island knew that Big Brother B was Guan Zu’s boss.

However, no one in Causeway Bay thought that Kwan Cho would lose fans.

……

a new day,
The Hong Kong United Daily News, Hong Kong Times, Minsheng Daily and Hong Kong World Journal have all updated their content, linking Big Brother B and Guan Zu.

"Speaking of this big boss B, he actually has an even more shocking identity. He is the boss of the Five Star Group and the famous legislator Guan Zu... That's right, the boss..."

"When Guan Zu was still a gangster, he followed Big Boss..."

"Why does Guan Zu make billions and billions every year and do countless good deeds? But the boss is losing fans?"

"Uncovering the underworld career of Big Boss B..."

Of course, there are only one or two sentences involving Guanzu, and that’s just the beginning.

Once these reports were published, many Hong Kong citizens were very surprised and it became a topic of conversation among the citizens. Some citizens questioned whether Guan Zu was the umbrella for Big Brother B, while others believed that Guan Zu could not be the umbrella because it was unnecessary and too stupid.

Moreover, at least half of them trust Mr. Guan and would not do such a thing.

……

Five Star Group Building.

Guan Zu's Office,
Guan Zu stood in front of the window, gazing calmly at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside.

Fang Ting walked into the office with a newspaper.

"Brother Zu, there's finally a newspaper report. Can we start taking action now?"

"It's time to act."

Guan Zu's mouth corners slightly raised.

He had long been waiting for the Governor of Hong Kong to use the power of the media, otherwise he would not be able to take the next step in many matters. Guan Zu was afraid of arousing the other party's vigilance.

Now, the time has come.

"A-Ting, please call the ATV people over for me. I want to be interviewed."

"it is good."

……

1 hours later,

Yue Huizhen conducted an exclusive interview with Guan Zu.

The camera is focused on Guan Zu and the four words "obey the law" behind him.

Guan Zu sat upright and said righteously: "First of all, I want to make it clear that I have always been a law-abiding person and have never done anything illegal."

"Secondly, I also admit that the suspect arrested by the police this time, Big Brother B, was my former boss and he took good care of me."

"Also, I have never denied my past as a gangster, but I must state: No one is born to be a gangster. In 81, I had no money to go to school, and I wanted to make some money but was blackmailed by gangs, so I had no choice but to join a gang..."

Guan Zu deliberately talked about some controversial topics so that the other party could find something to hold against him.

"Finally, I solemnly declare that I firmly oppose any illegal and criminal behavior. If Big Boss B really violated the unforgivable red line of drug trafficking, then I unreservedly and firmly support the law in giving him the most severe punishment!"

……

In the evening, ATV News broadcast this interview with Guan Zu.

Public opinion in Hong Kong is heating up again.

……

Hong Kong Governor's Office.

"Hahaha~~~This Guan Zu made a fatal mistake!"

After seeing the news, Fei Peng laughed happily.

Secretary Kane echoed, "Yes, the best way for him is not to speak out, but to handle the situation calmly, so that things can cool down quickly. And now that he has come out and issued a statement, it is simply adding fuel to the fire and making the news even hotter."

"I thought Guan Zu was so powerful!"

"You are still too young. When you suddenly encounter a crisis, you panic and make the wrong move!"

"This time, I want to see how he ends up!"

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
