Hong Kong Movies: I am Hongxing, what the hell is the intelligence king?

Chapter 472 A Feast of Capital
The Golden Club is still the same Golden Club.

Because of George's interference, the deputy director, one of the three leaders, had no chance of being promoted and could only continue as deputy director.

And because of Cunningham's connections—he said two things to the Deputy Commissioner of the ICAC to the Governor—the Commissioner of the ICAC remained his commissioner.

In other words, the strength of the Gold Club remains the same as before, without any improvement.

Do not!
There has been some progress.

That means Sir Lee's qualifications have increased again.

For those in politics, age has always been an advantage.

Not to mention that Sir Lee has been serving at the Governor's House in Hong Kong for over twenty years.

This also gave him influence throughout the Hong Kong government. Even the heads of the three departments and thirteen bureaus had to give Sir Lee some face when they faced him.

This is something Sir Lee is proud of, and it is also his greatest source of confidence in building the Golden Club.

You should know that the heads of the Three Departments and Thirteen Bureaus are all foreigners.

Since the 1960s, it has been proven that in Hong Kong, whoever gets along well with the foreigners can hold the most power.

Whether it's Lei Luo or Long Chengbang, it's the same.

Then Sir Lee met his match – George, the former head of the police station's political department and now the head of the Security Bureau.

George had absolutely no respect for Sir Lee.

He arranged to meet Sir Lee and others at the club's residence, and without saying a word, handed them a large stack of documents.

The three giants of the Golden Club were dumbfounded—those were all evidence of their crimes.

Some of these were compiled by Lin Feng himself through the intelligence system, some were collected by Luo Zhiming's subordinates, and some were investigated by George through his own efforts.

The documents contained all the evidence George had.

The others are fine.

The most important point is that the club used the ICAC's resources to attack an elite squad of the garrison!

The three leaders were nearly scared to death when they heard that.

They had no idea that the incident wasn't actually the fault of the garrison or the ICAC elite team, but rather a setup orchestrated by Lin Feng.

However, the matter was too bizarre. After analysis by the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau and the Deputy Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, it was determined that their elite squad had clashed with the Air Force Special Forces stationed in the area.

So...

This led to a misunderstanding.

Li Fu and Wang Jianjun were thus exonerated.

George also gained leverage over him.

For a moment, the club's three leaders felt utterly hopeless—with such a huge handle in their hands, their lives were in George's hands.

However, George had no intention of using these weaknesses to gain credit:

"Gentlemen, I'm here to seek cooperation."

"Consider these my greeting gifts."

"Whether to fight or make peace, the three of you can decide in a single word."

The three of them looked at each other, and each saw the helplessness in the other's eyes.

With such evidence in hand, how can they possibly fight George?

Not to mention that the other party's status was originally higher than theirs—the rising star of the Cunningham family, a senior agent of the Onsa Telecommunications Bureau, and a newly promoted member of the Security Bureau.

Those documents alone are enough to torture them to death.

George said to bring these things to negotiate with him, and if both sides are happy, then there is no problem.

But something's not quite right; these things could kill you!

In other words, the initiative is entirely in the hands of the other party; it all depends on whether you cooperate or not.

Sir Lee can only represent three people:
"The Golden Club is willing to follow the Security Bureau's lead."

George smiled.
"very good!"

“I heard that you have come up with a plan to promote the construction of the Sham Shui Po pier.”

Sir Li and his two companions looked ashen-faced—the fact that the other party could even find out this meant they had been watching them for a long time.

In such a situation, there is no other way to go but to submit.

In reality, they really had no other way to go.

George successfully subdued the Golden Club.

However, he only made the Golden Club accountable to him, without revealing at all that Lin Feng was behind him.

George is a senior agent of the Onsa Telecommunications Bureau and knows very well the true nature of the Gold Club—it is a criminal organization disguised as a government agency.

Lin Feng was at the height of his fame in Hong Kong.

Preventing this crime has absolutely nothing to do with him.

George himself is the perfect firewall; his identity as a foreigner and a senior agent of the telecommunications bureau is enough to shield him from all the negative influences of the Golden Club.

Through the Golden Club's connections, Sir Lee quickly moved forward with various agendas as George (Lin Feng) requested—and the construction of Sham Shui Po was thus approved.

The Du Ye Mansion held a tender for real estate companies across Hong Kong, and Hung Hing Group unsurprisingly won the bid.

Even before the Sham Shui Po project commenced, Hung Hing Group, under the impetus of Lam Fung, had already acquired a large tract of land in the surrounding area.

When Hung Hing won the bid, the value of these land units instantly increased tenfold or even dozens of times.

Hung Hing made a fortune.

Hong Kong citizens are praising Lin, the richest man, for his extremely forward-thinking business acumen.

Not everyone is convinced.

Some people were very dissatisfied, believing that this was a complete rigged operation, so they reported the matter to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

Upon receiving the report, the ICAC Commissioner took it seriously and immediately appointed the ICAC Deputy Commissioner to launch an investigation.

Of course, this won't reveal anything.

After a thorough investigation, the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) determined that this was a false accusation.

As a result, the ICAC commissioner interviewed several companies and issued warnings.

The companies that reported Hung Hing were none other than the other three of the new "Four".

Taking the hits passively is not Lin Feng's style.

Through intelligence networks and various friendly organizations within Hung Hing, Lin Feng quickly gathered all sorts of sordid information about the three new families.

With a swift move, he followed suit and made a targeted report.

The ICAC commissioner was at his wits' end.

He dared not neglect the reports against Hung Hing.

Now that Hung Hing is reporting others, he dares not be negligent either.

The ICAC Deputy Commissioner has been dispatched again, but this time it's different from the last.

Lin Feng's report was based on detailed information, and every investigation revealed it to be accurate.

A large number of senior executives from these three companies were taken away by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) to assist in the investigation.

The stocks of the three new companies continued to plummet.

Chen Taotao's Yum! Fund wouldn't let this opportunity pass—daring to slander Lin Sheng was tantamount to courting death—so the leaks from the three new companies became even more rampant!

Yum! Brands took a big bite of the fat.

Chen Taotao originally wanted to call it quits, but Lin Feng wouldn't allow it.

Lin Feng has never been a kind person. He comes from the martial arts world and should understand the principle of eliminating enemies completely.

Chen Taotao carried out Lin's orders very well and directly took control of the controlling stake in the three new companies!

Hung Hing quickly became a behemoth in the Hong Kong market.

There's a story behind this.

Even if Hung Hing had absorbed the Tai Fu Hao Group, it would not have been able to take over the New Three.

However, emerging families in Hong Kong are most willing to establish trust funds with complex structures.

Through a variety of dazzling equity swap methods, Hong Kong's tycoons can control 100% of their vast funds with only a 1% stake.

Actually, the people who mastered this method the most were not the wealthy people of Hong Kong, but Okamoto.

Okamoto's large conglomerates hold cross-shareholdings, creating a complex equity structure where each entity is intertwined with the others.

The advantage is that it excludes outsiders.

No amount of foreign capital could possibly acquire Okamoto's company.

At best, they can acquire a subsidiary of a conglomerate, or a brand, but to completely acquire a conglomerate is simply impossible.

Therefore, Okamoto's stock market was not affected at all during the economic downturn.

If you only look at Okamoto's stock market and not its economic environment, you simply cannot determine what Okamoto's economic situation is like.

That was definitely a major bull market.

Hong Kong tycoons use this method not only to prevent potential family disputes over shares, but more importantly, to form alliances.

However, while there are many advantages, there are also disadvantages.

The key lies in certain small companies that control the equity of wealth.

To outsiders, the complex and dazzling array of trust shareholding structures can be confusing, even for professional institutions.

However, for Lin Feng, who possessed an intelligence network, each key point was practically an open secret.

Thus, he successfully gained control of the entire New Three Families by paying less than one percent of the price.

The key point is that he did not use any of Hung Hing's money.

Hung Hing certainly got a share of the pie in this capital feast.

But Lin Feng took the lion's share.

No one in Hung Hing had any objections to this. Young Kwan was very satisfied with the current situation, and Shui Ling even more so.

Both of them came from the martial arts world and understood best how hard-won the current situation was.

Once upon a time, they didn't know if they would have a tomorrow, so naturally they didn't harbor any resentment towards Lin Feng.

On the contrary, the couple were extremely grateful to Lin.

The relationship between Liang Kun and Lin Feng is extraordinary.

After Shui Ling became pregnant, she wanted to bury her past experiences.

The two are extremely satisfied with their current life.

The two of them had no objections, and the other members of Hung Hing didn't say a word either.

The Hung Hing members are divided into two types.

One group consists of Jiang Tianyang and Han Bin.

Both of them are rare business tycoons in the business world.

People like them never imagined they'd encounter such good fortune. It was like a windfall!

Today, Chiang Tin-yeung is based in Hong Kong and travels all over the world – the Hung Hing Group is truly a behemoth in Hong Kong, with businesses all over the world.

As one of the vice presidents, Jiang Tianyang naturally has to shoulder the responsibilities of a vice president.

Han Bin was equally satisfied.

He assisted Hong Sheng, who was in his hometown, in comprehensively advancing the various businesses of the Hung Hing Group.

Han Bin even called over Thirteen Sister.

The relationship between the two heated up quickly.

What impressed the Hung Hing members was that Thirteen Sister, who always dressed as a man, actually dressed Han Bin in women's clothing.

One has to admire them.

The rest were Brother Ji and the others.

It must be said that even with the reorganization of Hung Hing and the rise of figures like Brother Kei to high-ranking positions within the Hung Hing conglomerate, their underworld aura remains unchanged.

There was no way around it; I started hanging out in the streets at a young age and didn't have much formal education.

Even if you hold a high position in a club or organization and have been taught various skills by the university of society, you still lack true culture.

Brother Kei was certainly qualified to receive the Dude's invitation to the banquet.

But he went once and never went again.

This is boring!
It's better to have some backbone and call up your old friends to brag!

Then, what Brother Ji loves to do most is to have a reunion with his old comrades from the underworld.

He had no intention of returning to the underworld.

If you have the chance to launder your money, who the hell would want to go back to the underworld?
Isn't that a sign of illness?

Brother Ji is a master at playing dumb. He's clear-headed when it comes to important matters. He's not stupid; he's just pretending to be foolish.

As a result, big shots like them are constantly having gatherings of people with backbone.

Big D simply set up a private room for them.

It's unknown how many martial arts figures would like to enter this private room.

Unfortunately, special qualifications are required to enter this private room; it is not accessible to the average person.

Big D is ambitious, but even with the help of a capable wife, his knowledge cannot keep up with the professional group operations.

Fortunately, Big D is content with his current life and has absolutely no ambition to advance further in Hung Hing.

After all, the person who saved him was more capable and more prestigious than him, and more importantly, younger than him.

Big D had absolutely no intention of rebelling.

Gan Zitai finally got his wish. He appointed Dao Ziqing and others as his representatives, and his favorite thing to do was practice martial arts.

It has to be said that he is a true martial arts fanatic; his skills have improved dramatically at such a young age.

Unfortunately, they were still no match for Li Fu and his group.

In such a grand feast of capital, Lin Feng would naturally not be stingy with a few shares in his possession.

George and Chen Taotao were both richly rewarded.

The former has a special status; in addition to obtaining a small share of the three new companies, he also received the Angsa Media Group that Lin Feng had promised.

After acquiring the three new companies, Chen Taotao gained an exceptionally large cash flow. He quickly took the initiative and completed the task given to him by Lin Feng.

Thus, without realizing it, George had become one of Onsa's few media moguls.

However, these things were kept quiet and not made public.

Perhaps he will only be able to appear in public after George completes his term in the Security Bureau.

Lin Feng has already told him that he will be allowed to return to Angsa and enter the political arena when the time comes.

They did everything they could to help George climb the ranks.

If George is determined, he can climb as high as he wants.

George's gratitude towards Lin Feng was fervent. His master's command was, of course, his supreme mission.

As for the media group, it was naturally managed by George's lover, the beautiful adjutant Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was quite happy to do this, knowing that with her background, it was impossible for her to be with George openly, since the Cunningham family had a marriage agreement with George.

However, the Anssa people are more open-minded about this.

Anyway, it's a common phenomenon in the West for wealthy men to have illegitimate children with beautiful women.

Elizabeth didn't plan to look for anyone else. Her experience in Hong Kong had taught her that nothing else in this world mattered except money.

George treated him very well and even offered him opportunities for career success and a lot of money.

For a woman who has both money and status, what is she waiting for but to hold onto George tightly?

Isabella is very realistic.

While grateful to Lin Feng, George further strengthened his control over the Golden Club.

He discovered that the Gold Club was truly effective!

Like attracts like.

George generously rewarded the three members of the Golden Club.

He directly distributed a portion of the shares of the three companies to the three men, which almost made the three deputy bureau chiefs and deputy commissioners, Li, go crazy with joy.

What is the purpose of establishing the Gold Club?
Money, of course!
Is playing house fun?
They originally thought that after being controlled by George, these three would never have anything to do with money again, but they never expected that their superior George was not bad at all!

As a result, the three members of the Gold Club became even more motivated.

This is what George needs.

It's not that he doesn't care about money; on the contrary, he loves money.

However, before he could care about money, completing the task Lin Feng assigned him was the most important thing.

George knew that as long as he could complete the tasks assigned by Lin Feng on time, money would not be a problem.

Encouraged by George, the Golden Club, with the combined efforts of all three parties, finally took action to photograph the television station.

Sir Lee's connections were no joke; he quickly contacted a considerable number of members of parliament and made a suggestion directly in Parliament—to increase the proportion of Mandarin in television programs.

If it were any other time, if he could bring up such an example, the foreigners would probably shoot him in the back and make him commit suicide.

However, times are different now.

The foreigners insisted on acting like prostitutes while trying to maintain a virtuous image, and not a single person stood up to object.

And so, the proposal actually passed!
Lao Liu was completely stunned!

By the way, he's called Uncle Six purely because his license plate number is 6!

It's like the license plate of the top police officer's car being the number 1.

License plates with numbers ranging from zero to ten are a symbol of status; everyone in Hong Kong knows their names.

The sixth brother thought to himself, "This isn't right."

I was knighted for promoting Cantonese and suppressing Mandarin. Has the tables turned now?

However, thinking about what he had done, Lao Liu felt at ease again.

He spent twenty years promoting Cantonese, and now in Hong Kong, apart from the elderly who can speak a little Mandarin, no one else can speak it at all.

Radio stations produce programs in Mandarin... Ha, how many people will actually watch them?
This impact isn't limited to his company; it affects all television stations.

The sixth brother was relieved.

Suddenly, television station licenses, which were already difficult to auction, became even more difficult to auction.

Chen Taotao got a freebie.

Lok Wai-chun then became the director of the newly established Hong Kong TV and the chairman of Bauhinia Media.

Was it a mistake?

How can a single television station be considered a conglomerate?
Lin Feng has always valued the influence of the media, so how could he possibly only give it to Le Huizhen's television station?
He instructed Chen Taotao to acquire various media outlets—radio stations, newspapers, and magazines.

And so a newly established media group appeared brightly and attractively before the people of Hong Kong.

The sixth brother was very flustered.

He doesn't care if ordinary wealthy people enter the media industry and compete with him.

But Lin Feng is different.

Who in Hong Kong doesn't know Lin Feng's legendary experiences?
A complete business genius.

A classic example of a snake swallowing an elephant.

Most importantly, while others might easily suffer from indigestion when trying to swallow an elephant, Lin Feng's swallowing of an elephant truly strengthens him.

After considering the unique nature of his industry, Lao Liu felt a little more at ease—after all, he was a senior in the media industry, so how could he be afraid of him?
