Hong Kong General: Undercover and Liansheng, from 49 to leader

Chapter 340 [Part ] The overlord of an island nation? That's just the threshold to see me
On the night he received Jimmy's call, Lu Yaowen left Happy Valley after eating the chicken soup that Ruan Mei had carefully prepared for him.

"Ji Wen, are you at the company or at home now?"

After getting into the Mercedes-Benz, Lu Yaowen dialed Long Jiwen's number.

Today, Yao Wen Films has surpassed Ka Wo, Golden Princess, Shaw Brothers and other companies to become the largest film company in Hong Kong Island.

The agency under Luk Yaowen's name is also the largest agency in Hong Kong Island. Almost half of the artists in Hong Kong Island are under Luk Yaowen's agency.

Especially for top stars, nine out of ten are managed by Lu Yaowen’s agency.

It's not because when working with Luk Yao-wen, there is no need to worry about threats from gangs. After He Liansheng unified the underground world of Hong Kong Island, the film and television industry in Hong Kong Island was no longer threatened by gangsters. Luk Yao-wen's style of doing things won praise from the entire Hong Kong Island entertainment industry.

The reason why so many stars are signed to Lu Yaowen's agency is mainly because Lu Yaowen asks for less commission and they have more opportunities to star in movies.

Under the guidance of Lu Yaowen, Long Jiwen changed the previous practice of "selling at a fixed price" when exporting Hong Kong films. This practice made it easier to "scam people", but it also ultimately destroyed Hong Kong films.

Yao Wen Film Company sells movies to foreign countries and they all make profits from it, and they only want a quarter of the profits, which ensures that the buyers in the island countries, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries can definitely make money.

As for Formosa, Lu Yaowen made a group of high-ranking officials in Formosa make a fortune through the export of movies. Now Ding Yao is nominally the leader of the Sanlian Gang, but in the entire gang, 70% of the forces follow Tian Yangsheng.

This also made Ding Yao try to please Lu Yaowen even more. She used to come to Hong Kong Island to collect sperm once every two weeks, but now she comes once or twice a week. However, what disappointed Ding Yao was that even though she collected sperm so frequently, she still couldn't get pregnant with Lu Yaowen's child.

However, when doing business with European and American companies, Yao Wen Film Company still chooses the "buyout system".

There is one thing about this world that is exactly the same as the world Lu Yaowen is familiar with, and that is the arrogance of white people. Almost all Hong Kong movies find it difficult to get high box office, and usually make money through DVDs and videotapes, as if Hong Kong movies are only worthy of appearing on the small screen.

Lu Yaowen did not care about this. What he needed to do now was to stabilize the markets in Southeast Asia and East Asia, and maintain Hong Kong Island's position as the "Oriental Hollywood". At the same time, he would invest a large amount of money in the film industry, and then compete with Hollywood for the global market.

Yao Wen Film Company can now produce nearly a hundred films a year, half of which are high-quality. Although it is only November, the box office has exceeded HK$1.7 billion. Among the top ten films in Hong Kong Island's annual box office rankings, seven are produced by Yao Wen Film Company.

In addition to Lu Yaowen's support, Long Jiwen's ability is also crucial to the current success of Yaowen Film Company. She has learned a lot from Lu Yaowen's suggestions.

For example, Lu Yaowen asked her to find ways to get more benefits from the island nation, which is currently the richest country in Asia. Long Jiwen creatively brought out the co-production method that the mainland will use in the future, and co-produced films with the island nation's film companies.

The island country's film company provided the funds and the female lead, and Yao Wen Film Company provided the male lead, thus pulling the island country's film company into Yao Wen Film Company's industrial chain. This move directly opened up the island country's film market.

In the past, film companies in the island countries had complaints about Hong Kong films being shown in the island countries. Now, several large film companies in the island countries have set up offices in Hong Kong Island and are waving money to cooperate with Yao Wen Film Company.

In addition, there are also innovative initiatives such as top stars setting up their own studios, and even Chinese stars from Taiwan and Southeast Asia coming to Hong Kong Island to join Lu Yaowen's agency.

It was also because of this that Lu Yaowen handed over Longteng Airlines and the consulting company to Long Jiwen. This made Long Jiwen very busy every day and made her one of the few women among Lu Yaowen's women who did not get pregnant with Lu Yaowen's child.

"I'll be home soon, Brother Wen, have you had dinner?"

Long Jiwen's voice came from the receiver.

"No, I have asked someone to bring a roast goose and some side dishes from Yongji. We will eat together then."

Lu Yaowen told a 'white lie'.

"Ah."

On the other end of the phone, Long Jiwen immediately nodded in response.

"Ji Wen, you have so much work to do now. There is no need to do everything yourself. It is not a bad thing to delegate authority appropriately."

Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

"In the next few days, the airport construction company needs to coordinate with us on the construction plan of the Dragon Airlines headquarters building. Since you are a hands-off boss and don't care about anything, I, as the general manager, must be present."

Long Jiwen replied with a smile.

The site for Hong Kong Island's new international airport has been determined, the land has been leveled, and construction officially started last month. As the only airline on Hong Kong Island today, Dragon Airlines, thanks to Luk Yiu-wen, built its headquarters building directly next to the airport, almost blending in with the airport.

"Manager Long, thank you for your hard work. I will definitely help you relax and relieve your fatigue tonight."

Lu Yaowen laughed.

"Just don't make me more tired."

Long Jiwen snorted, then continued: "Brother Wen, I'll go and finish it, and we'll meet and talk later."

"it is good."

Lu Yaowen responded and hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Lu Yaowen's Mercedes-Benz drove into the yard of a villa in Kowloon Tong.

"Uncle Long."

As soon as Lu Yaowen got out of the car, he immediately greeted Long Chengbang who was watering flowers in the yard with a smile.

After getting back his assets that were frozen by the British Hong Kong government, Long Chengbang's worries were completely resolved, and he moved back to Hong Kong Island to live with Long Jiwen and enjoy his retirement.

"Awen, you're here."

Long Chengbang looked at Lu Yaowen with a warm smile on his face.

The more Long Chengbang looked at his 'son-in-law' Lu Yaowen, the more satisfied he was. He was handsome and capable. Even though he had his current status, he was still so polite to him. His upbringing was absolutely first-rate.

Sometimes, Long Chengbang wondered what good deeds his wife must have done in her previous life to be able to find a man like Lu Yaowen.

As for Lu Yaowen having many women?

Long Chengbang didn't take such a small matter to heart at all. Not to mention that he had several wives, in the class he used to be in, almost every man he saw had several women, or even dozens of women.

"Uncle Long, you should like the roast goose from Yongji Restaurant."

Lu Yaowen raised the bag in his hand and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Awen, an old man like me can't eat too much of this right now. It just so happens that old guy Lei Luo asked me to play chess with him, so I'll go to his house for a meal, and you and Ji Wen can slowly enjoy the roast goose at home."

Long Chengbang obviously didn't want to be a "light bulb" between Lu Yaowen and Long Jiwen. After finding a random excuse, he left the villa without even changing his clothes and walked towards Lei Luo's villa in Kowloon Tong.

Apparently, not only was he going to have dinner at Lei Luo's house, but he probably wouldn't be back that night.

Looking at Long Chengbang's leaving back, Lu Yaowen smiled and shook his head, then walked into the villa.

Ten minutes later.

The first thing Long Jiwen did after returning to the villa was to throw himself into Lu Yaowen's arms, hook his hands around Lu Yaowen's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, do you miss me?"

"Uncle Long!" Lu Yaowen suddenly looked up in one direction. Long Jiwen was so frightened that she quickly let go of the hand that was hooked around Lu Yaowen, and her pretty face turned slightly red.

"Ji Wen, I lied to you. Uncle Long said he was going to play chess with Lei Luo."

At this point, Lu Yaowen hugged Long Jiwen into his arms, put his head close to her ear, and whispered softly, "You may not come back tonight."

"Hate."

Long Jiwen clenched her fist and gently hammered Lu Yaowen's chest. Then, she bit her red lips and whispered, "Brother Wen, I miss you so much."

At this point, there was no need to say more. Lu Yaowen got on his horse, and after he and Long Jiwen had resolved their lovesickness, they took a bath together. Then they both put on their bathrobes and sat at the dining table.

"Brother Wen, what do you want to tell me?"

Long Jiwen, with a flushed face, asked with a smile while helping Lu Yaowen pick up the roast goose.

"I'm going to the Bear Country. Please help me arrange a passenger plane."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

"it is good."

Long Jiwen nodded directly and said that Longteng Airlines had specially prepared a Boeing 747. As long as Lu Yaowen needed it, this would be Lu Yaowen’s private jet.

"Also, there is one more thing about Yaowen Film Company."

Lu Yaowen continued.

"Ok?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Long Jiwen's eyes.

Lu Yaowen seldom asks about the business of Yaowen Film Company, and Long Jiwen is not surprised at all. With Lu Yaowen's current strength, a company like Yaowen Film Company, which only makes a profit of more than a billion Hong Kong dollars a year, is indeed too insignificant.

Whether it is real estate, aviation, security companies, or even shipping, each is an industry worth tens of billions or nearly hundreds of billions. In this case, Lu Yaowen took the initiative to talk about the film company, which made Long Jiwen curious.

"Heng Zhao Real Estate has a piece of land on Tsing Yi Island, and I plan to build a film and television shooting base on that land."

Lu Yaowen gave the answer.

"Brother Wen, haven't you already built a film and television shooting base?"

Long Jiwen was even more confused.

"Ji Wen, this film and television shooting base is different. I plan to make it the most advanced film and television shooting base in the world."

"At the same time, I will invest 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to set up a special effects company. In the future, Yao Wen Film Company will launch several large-scale films every year to consolidate the position of our Hong Kong films in the East Asian and Southeast Asian markets."

Lu Yaowen said these words slowly.

Then, without waiting for Long Jiwen to speak, Lu Yaowen continued, "There is a film industry revolution going on in Hollywood, America. If we don't keep up with their pace, the only fate that awaits Hong Kong films is decline."

"That would be equivalent to completely handing over the battlefield of public opinion, information, and values ​​to the foreigners. I will never allow such a thing to happen."

"..."

Long Jiwen was greatly shocked when he heard what Lu Yaowen said. Nowadays, Hong Kong films are at their peak and are "dominating all quarters" in East Asia and Southeast Asia, but Lu Yaowen directly said that Hong Kong films are going to decline.

It was because Lu Yaowen said this that Long Jiwen believed it without a doubt. If someone else said this, Long Jiwen would definitely not believe it.

"Brother Wen, as long as you say it, I will do my best."

After a brief moment of doubt, Long Jiwen immediately expressed his attitude.

"Ji Wen, when Yao Wen Film Company's first big-budget movie is released, you will know what I mean by this."

Lu Yaowen saw through Long Jiwen's doubts at a glance, shook his head and smiled.

The decline of Hong Kong films, apart from the "painful loss" of the Taiwan market, is mainly due to the direct dimensionality reduction attack from Hollywood's industrial blockbusters. Lu Yaowen knows very well the shock that people who have never seen a special effects blockbuster will feel after watching one.

It's like a person who has been eating steamed buns all his life suddenly tastes delicacies from land and sea, or like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It can even reshape a person's aesthetic and value views.

In the past, many Chinese people were brainwashed by Hollywood blockbusters and became the "spiritual slaves" of foreigners without knowing it. Lu Yaowen knew very well how terrible cultural invasion was.

"Brother Wen, I believe everything you say."

Long Jiwen immediately explained himself.

This time, Lu Yaowen didn't say anything else, but just reached out and rubbed Long Jiwen's soft hair.

"Brother Wen, speaking of film companies, I also have something I want to tell you."

While enjoying Lu Yaowen's touch, Long Jiwen seemed to have thought of something and spoke.

Lu Yaowen did not say anything, but just looked at Long Jiwen quietly, waiting for her next words.

"There is a film company in the island country that wants to cooperate with us. Their attitude is very tough. They said that in the future, Yaowen Film Company can only cooperate with them in the island country."

"I asked around and it seems that the Black Tiger Society is behind that film company."

Long Jiwen said slowly.

After hearing the three words "Black Tiger Society", Lu Yaowen's eyes flickered slightly. The Black Tiger Society is the second largest society in the island country, second only to the Yamaguchi-gumi, and this "Black Tiger Society" is a famous right-wing society with an extremely arrogant style of behavior.

"Leave them alone for a few days. I will take care of this matter after I return from the Bear Country."

Lu Yaowen's tone was extremely calm.

He didn't take the "Black Tiger Society" seriously at all. With Lu Yaowen's current status and position, only the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest underworld organization in the island country and a local overlord, was qualified to see Lu Yaowen.

Not to mention the representatives sent to Hong Kong Island, even if the Black Dragon Society's leader wants to meet Lu Yaowen, it depends on Lu Yaowen's mood.

What's more, the top leaders of right-wing organizations like the Black Tiger Society are basically the descendants of militaristic beasts. How could such scum of the world want to cooperate with him, Lu Yaowen, to make money?
If it behaves itself and keeps a low profile, Lu Yaowen won't have the leisure to go to the island country to deal with them for the time being.

But if they don't accept his toast, Lu Yaowen doesn't mind letting these guys have a taste of his power.

"By the way, Ji Wen, there is one more thing."

Thinking of this, Lu Yaowen seemed to have thought of something again and spoke.
