1982 Started from Hong Kong

Chapter 442 Ending
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange opened in the morning and rumors began to appear in the market.

Most of the news is released by various traders.
Including but not limited to Zhai Yuan's rape and robbery, lack of conscience, punching old ladies and kicking children.

In short, it is a crime that will be punished by being shot if caught!

Compared with rational thinking, the public is more inclined to accept conspiracy theories, especially the gambling-minded people in the stock market.

"It's true. My friend saw with his own eyes that Shen Tongyuan was handcuffed. His face was pale. He must have been in trouble this time!"

"I heard that they were colluding with overseas arms dealers. My cousin's husband works in a law firm. He will be in prison for at least 20 years this time!"

"Your information is out of date. I heard that he sold Japanese pornographic films to North Korea, and they demanded that he be extradited immediately for shooting!"

By the time the market closed in the morning, the stock price of Jiuyi Entertainment had fallen by more than 6%, and gamblers were all betting on Zhai Yuan's failure.

in the afternoon.

Chief Superintendent Ling Deli of the Public Relations Branch stood up, faced the camera, and took the initiative to clarify things to the outside world.

"Regarding the slapping of Mei Yanfang, the police station just followed the routine and asked Miss Mei's boss to come back to assist in the investigation. Handcuffing and arresting her is nonsense. I hope people will stop making up rumors..."

As a result, by the afternoon closing, the stock price of Jiuyi Entertainment had fallen by 3% again.

Gamblers have their own self-consistent logic.

"They came out to clarify at noon, and it was obvious that it was fake. These police officers must have wanted to deceive investors and secretly release the goods and run away."

"That's right. If he is really just assisting in the investigation, why hasn't the child prodigy shown up yet? There's something strange!"

"In short, just believe the official statement. The most important thing is to have the ability to think independently..."

…………

"997 fell more than 10% in a single day, hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars disappeared out of thin air. The Stock Exchange is really the largest legal gambling platform in Hong Kong."

In the detention room.

After Shen Wei reported the situation outside to Zhai Yuan, he couldn't help but sigh.

He used to be a heavy gambler, but at least he had the cards in his hand, and his skills could make up for the losses.

The stock market is a gambling table that relies purely on luck. True and false information is flying all over the place. You can't even see your opponent, and the other party can start a slaughter feast in minutes.

"Ling Deli came out to clarify. It seems that the Hong Kong government has made a decision. But they are still unwilling to let me go now. They are too petty."

Zhai Yuan didn’t care too much about the rise and fall of the stock price. If it fell today, it would rise again tomorrow.

What's more, Zhai Yuan had not yet told Old Shen in front of him that when Deng Leling and several other women came to visit him in prison in the morning, he had already instructed them to buy the 997 stock in order to make the most of the opportunity.

Unfortunately, tomorrow is a holiday and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will not be open for business, otherwise 997 would fall again.

This is real manipulation of the financial market backed by the Hong Kong government, transferring money from one hand to the other. It is a rare opportunity.

"After all, what you did was too outrageous, Mr. Zhai. Li Junxia is still lying in the hospital..."

Shen Wei hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Actually, since 91 Entertainment has lost so much money this time, shouldn't we consider suing the Hong Kong Police Force for compensation?"

"Wow! You can even say something like that. You are worthy of being the company's Attorney General."

Zhai Yuan looked at Old Shen in astonishment, then smiled and said, "Never mind, let's quit while we're ahead. I should have dealt with my affairs here. What's left is for Grandpa to negotiate with the Hong Kong government on when to disband the Political Department."

There was no suitable excuse in the past, but this time, with the torture of Mei Yanfang as the trigger, the mainland can take advantage of the issue and continue to negotiate conditions.

In later generations, the notorious Political Department was not disbanded until the mid-1990s, and its personnel moved into powerful departments such as the Independent Commission Against Corruption to continue their work.

I just hope that this time we can help speed up the process and remove this poisonous tooth ahead of time.

“It may not be easy to disband it directly, but at least the Special Branch should be asked to cancel its privilege to arrest people at will.”

Shen Wei expressed his own opinion and did not continue to delve into the topic. He looked at Zhai Yuan with admiration: "But I really didn't expect that just a few words from you, boss, could scare the Hong Kong government into letting the matter of Li Junxia go. Great!"

"I'm not trying to scare them." Zhai Yuan smiled and said seriously, "If we must handle this matter impartially, 91 Entertainment will move to Majiao and Qvod Technology will move to the mainland. I can take care of this in a month at most."

The entertainment industry chooses prosperous cities because of its extensive network of contacts and resources, but Jiuyi is now the largest resource network itself, and relocating to Majiao will have no impact at all.

As for Qvod Technology, the only benefit of staying in Hong Kong is the freight terminal, which is incomparable with the low rent and labor costs in the mainland at that time.

For Zhai Yuan, withdrawing investment was worry-free and he even made a small profit.

Shen Wei was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Luckily the Hong Kong government knows how to do things, otherwise, if I went to the horse racing and there are gambling halls everywhere, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist the itch and my old illness would relapse!"

……

A day in the detention room on Friday and another day on Saturday.

The Hong Kong government made concessions to Zhai Yuan regarding the attack on the Commissioner of Police, but in order to save face, it still detained Zhai Yuan for 47 hours.

I don’t know if it was Wei Yixin’s or Sansi’s intention, but it seemed extremely stingy.

"Mr. Zhai, now that the matter has been investigated, you can leave."

"Thank you."

At this time, three days had passed since Mei Yanfang was slapped, Chen Kaixin was kidnapped, and Zhai Yuan was detained.

At eight o'clock that evening,

Accompanied by his lawyer, Zhai Yuan swaggered out of Tai Kwun in Central.

Facing the camera of the reporter, adhering to the idea of quitting while ahead, Zhai Yuan cooperated with the statement of the Public Relations Department and once again stated that he was indeed here to assist in the investigation, while all other details were hidden.

As for how the stockholders who received the news beat their chests and stamped their feet, no one cared.

After a brief interview, he called the heads of the companies under the group one by one.

Although the boss was taken away by the police, the company's business did not stop.

Jiuyi Entertainment is busy promoting "A Chinese Ghost Story", with the release date chosen for mid-June, seamlessly connecting with "High School Musical" in the second half of the summer season, and then connecting with the opening ceremony of the Spring and Autumn Academy of Performing Arts, allowing Principal Zhai to officially join the education industry.

The comic business of Ercili has been developing steadily. So far, the market share of Japanese comics, led by "Dragon Ball", in Hong Kong is divided equally with that of local Hong Kong comics. In Chinese-speaking regions such as Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, the sales of Japanese comics have surpassed that of Hong Kong comics.

The daily newspaper now ranks among the top three in sales in Hong Kong. In Singapore and Formosa, where entertainment news is relatively scarce, sales are also booming. During the same period, there are only a few competitors such as Sing Tao Daily, Liberty Times and United Daily News. "Considering that you have just been released from prison, go home and rest for two days. When you have time, come to the Governor's House."

Zhai Yuan was halfway through his call when Wei Yixin's private number called him and said to him through the receiver: "The land in the New Territories has been secured. I hope you can fulfill your previous promise."

Wei Yixin did not mention Li Junxia throughout the whole process.

When Zhai Yuan received the call, he curiously asked, "Thank you very much, Wei Sir, for your help. I was just impulsive. I wonder how Li Sir is doing now? Do you want me to bring a gift to visit him?"

"No need!" Wei Yixin immediately refused. He paused on the phone and said, "The matter of Li Sir ends here. When he recovers from his injury and officially takes up the position of director, all the grudges between you will be written off. Everything will be treated as if it never happened. He will not cause any trouble."

Zhai Yuan nodded in understanding after hearing this.

In today's environment, as long as Li Junxia still wants to be the top player, he can only swallow this anger.

It's a bit of a pity that I couldn't bring the opponent down in one go.

But don't worry for now, there is still a chance...

Zhai Yuan thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Wei Yixin, "Okay, give me a week. I still have some small matters to deal with. After a week, I will go to the Governor's House to visit Sir Wei again to discuss building a factory in the New Territories."

The phone hangs up,

Zhai Yuan sat in the car and sorted out his thoughts. He called out to Weixing, "Brother Xing, help me contact the Vietnamese guy."

The whole thing started with Cai Ziming and has gone through such a long journey. It’s time to wrap it up.

…………

"Brother Yong, who kidnapped Happy? Have you found any clues?"

Fu Ming Nightclub.

Cai Ziming sat on the sofa with a grim look on his face and asked Hu Xuyong who was sitting opposite him.

Pan Zhiyong shook his head with a look of regret on his face. "We have already sent people out to collect information. What a pity, there is still no news about my sister-in-law. But one thing is certain, the kidnappers used a PSS silenced pistol that night, which is used exclusively by Soviet special forces. Local gangs will never be able to get one."

Cai Ziming asked solemnly, "You're not going to tell me that she was kidnapped by the Soviets and is now blackmailing me for 1 million Hong Kong dollars, are you?"

Faced with Cai Ziming's unhappy questioning, Pan Zhiyong could only smile awkwardly.

It's not that he was afraid of the other party, but Cai Ziming handed the nightclub business to No. 1, and as a result, the proprietress was kidnapped right under his nose. This matter itself was wrong.

"As far as I know, there is only one place in Hong Kong with the most Soviet weapons, and that's the Natural Selection casino ship."

Pan Zhiyong spoke confidently and said to Cai Ziming, "We use Vietnamese as thugs on the ship, and their styles of doing things are similar. In addition, Zhai Yuan, the boss of 91 Entertainment, and Ye Zhiming, the boss of the gambling ship, have a deep friendship. You have moved so many actors from 91 Entertainment, so it is reasonable for them to do what they do."

Cai Ziming's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

He has always been competing with Xu Jiaqiang and thinks that Xu Jiaqiang is the most ferocious dog under Zhai Yuan.

I never thought that Boss Zhai’s actions were no less impressive than those Dutch guys under him.

"No wonder he was taken back by the police for questioning..."

Cai Ziming frowned, suppressed his anger and asked, "Is there any way to invite him out for a chat? I'm making a living by making movies now, we can cooperate."

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Pan Zhiyong laughed and said, "A serious businessman like him would hate to be associated with gangs. If he was the one who kidnapped my sister-in-law, I think it's probably a warning to you not to get involved in the film industry in the future."

"You're forcing me to quit the film industry?" Cai Ziming sneered. "I never thought there were talents of this level in Hong Kong. I thought all these rich people were just cowards. But he's stupid. He threatened me with a woman. If he dares, he can do it. I'll see who'll pull out the gun quickly! Otherwise, how can I easily spit out the meat I've bitten into my mouth?"

Pan Zhiyong asked: "What are you going to do?"

"He kidnapped Happy and extorted 1 million Hong Kong dollars from me." Cai Ziming gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe that this child prodigy has no family and women! Brother Yong, help me check the people around Zhai Yuan. We are familiar with kidnapping in the Netherlands. Those politicians did not allow flour to pass through the border, and their wives and daughters disappeared the next day. Now it's nothing more than changing the occasion to do the old business again. He kidnapped me, and I will double him to let him know what it means to be a dragon crossing the river!"

Pan Zhiyong looked hesitant and said with embarrassment: "Hong Kong is different from the Netherlands. It's a big pot."

"Big wok? What if my woman was kidnapped?"

Cai Ziming raised his eyebrows: "Do we really have to pay a ransom to the other party? I asked you to help me find out. It's nothing more than sending someone to follow him for a few days to find out the route of his family's movements. Don't worry about the rest. Wait for my people to finish the work. Shen Tongyuan wants 1 million? I'll take 2 million from him! I'll give you half of it later!"

This kind of business that makes huge profits with no investment immediately piqued Pan Zhiyong's interest.

Pan Zhiyong hesitated for a moment and asked again, "What if my sister-in-law was not kidnapped by him? After all, we are just guessing now. The police also have no evidence and have already released him."

Cai Ziming said nonchalantly: "Then let's just treat him as unlucky. Happy is a very obedient woman, but it is absolutely impossible for me to come up with 1 million to redeem her. If it wasn't Zhai Yuan who did it, then let him help me pay the ransom... Damn it! If I see those kidnappers, I will definitely put six bullet holes in their faces!"

Pan Zhiyong hummed without comment, picked up the wine glass and took two sips, his eyes were conflicted and he didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, Brother Yong. When you're out there, the most important thing is to see who can draw their gun faster."

Cai Ziming raised his glass and clinked it with Pan Zhiyong's. He smiled and said, "I guarantee that this matter will be done cleanly and will not cause you any trouble. The Dutch guys under my command are very eye-catching~"

……

Tsim Sha Tsui is still brightly lit at night.

Just after the shooting incident two days ago, Fu Ming Nightclub was closed for rectification and was deserted.

A few Dutch guys were standing outside the nightclub bored, chatting with each other while biting their cigarette butts.

"Alas, Sister Happy was captured. The boss is very angry this time."

"I've long said that these gangsters in Hong Kong are useless. They recite poems and pretend to be cultured, but they get scared to the point of peeing when encountering trivial things."

"Yes, a group of people were frightened by the two short dogs of the other side. If more brothers from Holland came over, they would crush these underworld societies in a matter of minutes."

On the day Chen Kaixin was kidnapped, Cai Ziming happened to be hosting a banquet for Mei Yanfang, so it was not convenient for them to stay around. Thinking back on it now, they couldn't help but complain again.

At this moment,
On the other side of the street, a plump woman with cool clothes and exaggerated figure walked over.

The woman stopped at the entrance of Fu Ming Nightclub, glanced at the Dutch guys at the door, and approached them.

Several Dutch guys were instantly attracted by the trembling whiteness on her chest and winked at each other.

The woman didn't care about their looks at all. She pointed at a Ferrari at the entrance of the alley behind her, took out two hundred-dollar bills, raised her chin and said arrogantly: "Hey, parking attendant! My car broke down and is parked over there. Who of you can help me fix it..."
