Chapter 395 Who is Han Chunming?
On Christmas Eve at the end of 1983, the Hong Kong Island Cinema Chain officially opened, and many Hong Kong film and television companies were undoubtedly the happiest. After all, the more and more formal cinema chains there are in Hong Kong, the more beneficial it will be for these film companies.

Upon hearing the news of the opening of the Hong Kong Island Cinema Chain, many film companies contacted Suning to discuss the release of their films. However, Suning chose "Seven Days of Love" as the opening film of the Hong Kong Island Cinema Chain against all odds.

Suning has never thought about starting its own film company. Not only is the manual management too troublesome, but it is also easy to cause conflicts and internal contradictions. After all, everyone thinks that they are talented and naturally believe that they will have better development and benefits. Hong Kong's Cinema City is a good example. Its rise and fall from glory to collapse all happened within itself.

Suning knows that its main businesses are still home appliance manufacturing, automobile manufacturing and real estate. As for the film company, the most it can do is to acquire shares and become an angel investor to get involved in the film and television industry.

There are too many film companies in Hong Kong, so many that cinema chains have become the biggest dealers. In addition, the Hong Kong Island Cinema Chain became the number one cinema chain in Hong Kong as soon as it opened. The cinema chain treats movies fairly and impartially when they are released, and pays the film companies' money immediately after the movies are released, which immediately makes the Hong Kong Island Cinema Chain the most popular cinema chain for Hong Kong film companies.

Suning did not care about the success of Hong Kong Island Cinemas, because Cherie Chung gave birth to a son for Suning, and now all Suning's attention is on his family.

"Hao'er, my Hao'er is so cute!" Suning looked at his newborn son Han Hao and couldn't help teasing him with surprise.

Cherie Chung, who had just survived a life-and-death crisis, was lying on the hospital bed resting. Seeing Su Ning's surprised expression when she saw the child, she also showed a satisfied smile.

Perhaps seeing Suning's joy at seeing his brother, his daughter Han Rui felt a little jealous and broke free from her mother Nancy's arms, asking Suning to hug her, "Daddy, hug me!"

Su Ning quickly took her daughter in his arms, and then said to her daughter Han Rui, "Ruirui, your aunt Hong gave birth to a younger brother for you. Do you like him?"

"Haha." The little baby responded to Suning with laughter.

At this time, Nancy's belly was just beginning to bulge. Looking at the happy scene, Nancy was also looking forward to giving birth to a son again, so that she would have both a son and a daughter.

For Suning in this world, Mr. He is his idol. He also wants to have more children like Mr. He, but he will definitely educate his children well and let them inherit his huge industry.

Mother Han couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised when she saw her little son's family suddenly growing into a large one. Although what Suning was doing now was not in line with her outlook on life, she had no reason to object.

In 1987, due to Suning's early intervention in technology and capital, the development of the mainland became more rapid, and Beijing also started large-scale construction in advance, with scenes of large-scale demolition and construction everywhere.

Thanks to Suning’s early layout, Beijing Longdu Real Estate Company experienced a huge boom, becoming the number one real estate company in Beijing and undertaking many real estate development projects in Beijing.

"Uncle, you must win the cotton mill project this time!
I had to use a lot of connections to get the cotton mill leaders to agree to negotiate with us." Su Meng looked at her uncle Jin Changsheng anxiously.

"Haha, Mengmeng, don't worry. I know how important this matter is." Jin Changsheng smiled disapprovingly, then said very casually, "I will return to Hong Kong in a few days and raise funds there. After all, only with funds can we possibly win the cotton mill project."

"Well, what you said makes sense, uncle." Su Meng nodded with a smile, then complained about the mysterious Longdu Real Estate, "It's all because of this Longdu Real Estate. Its presence is everywhere. All the development projects in Beijing are almost monopolized by this company."

"Haha, Longdu Real Estate is very powerful. We are a newly emerged real estate company. Of course we can't compete with them." Jin Changsheng was very open-minded.

"But Longdu Real Estate is too overbearing. If I didn't have strong connections, I don't know if I could even get in touch with the cotton mill!"

"Well, I'll go back to Hong Kong tomorrow." Seeing Su Meng's urgency, Jin Changsheng smiled and said, "Many business partners in Hong Kong are interested in real estate in Beijing."

"Well, that's fine too."

Hou Polan now spends most of his time in private museums. As time goes by, the Su Museum in the capital has become a check-in spot for foreign tourists, and the number of exhibits on display is increasing, almost reaching 300,000 pieces.

"Dad, something bad has happened!" Hou Su'e ran over in a panic with a look of worry on her face.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Jin Changsheng went to Hong Kong to raise funds yesterday, but was kidnapped by someone." Hou Su'e explained breathlessly.

"What? Called the police?"

"Yes, the police have been called!" Hou Su'e continued to explain, "Su Meng is preparing to rush to Hong Kong."

"Well, everything will be fine after we call the police." Soon Hou Polan was no longer worried. He had never been optimistic about his daughter Hou Su'e and Jin Changsheng's relationship.

"Dad, the kidnappers are demanding five million Hong Kong dollars. It's useless for Su Meng to go to Hong Kong without money!" Hou Su'e looked at Hou Polan with a wry smile.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Hou Polan looked at his daughter Hou Su'e in surprise.

"Dad, please lend me another 5 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"What? Didn't I already give you 10 million Hong Kong dollars?" Ragged Hou stared at Hou Su'e with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief. "Now you're asking me for 5 million. Where's your 10 million?"

"Dad, I have already invested that money in Jin Changsheng's real estate company, and he has recently become obsessed with collecting antiques, so I don't have any money now." Hou Su'e explained with a wry smile.

"Idiot! You are a complete idiot." The Broken Marquis angrily cursed at Hou Su'e, "How could I, the Broken Marquis, give birth to an idiot like you?"

"Dad, I beg you, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"

At this time, Hou Polan also felt like he was being framed, knowing that his daughter Hou Su'e had given everything for Jin Changsheng. If he did not save Jin Changsheng this time, both he and his daughter would be left with nothing.

"Hou Su'e, I will give you another 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will never give you a penny from now on. I hope you can take care of yourself." The ragged Hou said to Hou Su'e with a sad and hopeless look.

Hou Su'e did not understand her father. When she heard that Hou Pulan was willing to pay, she only felt surprised. She nodded and agreed to Hou Pulan's request immediately.

"Alas! Money alone can't solve this problem." Looking at his extremely foolish daughter, Hou Pao suddenly felt a sense of sadness. He then continued to offer advice to Hou Su'e, "You and Su Meng go to Hong Kong together, and then go find Han Chunming. He is the only one who can help you rescue Jin Changsheng now."

"Ah? Is he okay?"

"Haha, then let me ask you, who else do you and Su Meng know in Hong Kong?" Hou Polan did not explain Su Ning's ability, but just looked at his daughter with disdain.

"Huh? Dad, I understand. I will go directly to find Han Chunming."

Su Meng has always been a person who is reluctant to stand out. When her father, Teacher Su, was hospitalized and urgently needed medical expenses, she knew that Han Chunming could help pay for it, but she hid herself with various excuses, causing Cheng Jianjun to create inexplicable trouble.

Now her uncle Jin Changsheng was kidnapped in Hong Kong. She should have come to borrow money from Hou Polang, but she pushed it to Hou Su'e, who had no status, just because she was unwilling to bear the debt of 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

After hearing Hou Su'e's explanation, Su Meng was a little surprised at first, and then she was filled with disdain in her heart, "Sister Hou, did your father make a mistake?

Han Chunming is good at running restaurants and collecting antiques, but he might not be successful in Hong Kong, right? "Huh? I don't know the details, but my dad really admires Han Chunming." Hou Su'e was also puzzled, and then said helplessly, "Besides, we don't know anyone in Hong Kong, and we are not familiar with your uncle's business partners. Now we can only rely on Han Chunming."

"Well, Sister Hou, what you said makes sense." Su Meng nodded in agreement with Hou Su'e, then couldn't help but worry, "I think we still have to rely on the Hong Kong police. Han Chunming can only provide us with a temporary place to stay.

I heard that housing prices in Hong Kong are very high and housing is very tight. I suspect we would feel cramped if we went there.”

"Hey! As long as I can rescue your uncle, I'll accept a little bit of frustration." Hou Su'e didn't mind being frustrated for a few days. After all, Jin Changsheng needed to be rescued as soon as possible.

After Su Meng and Hou Su'e had discussed it, they boarded the earliest flight to Hong Kong. As soon as they got off the plane, they felt like they had been hit on the temples by two fists, and both of them were dizzy.

Fortunately, the Hong Kong police sent police officers to receive the two, so that they would not be too confused in the unfamiliar Hong Kong. The police first took Su Meng and Hou Su'e to the police station, and then the Hong Kong police informed Su Meng and Hou Su'e of the specific situation.

"Ms. Su, Ms. Hou, I'm Inspector Lei Ming, the officer in charge of this case," a Hong Kong police officer introduced to Su Meng and Hou Su'e. "As soon as the Hong Kong police received a report from Mr. Jin's friends, they began investigating. However, the kidnappers haven't contacted Mr. Jin's friends yet, so we can only wait."

"Mr. Policeman, we have brought money this time. Can you take us to HSBC to withdraw the money first?" Hou Su'e was thinking about rescuing Jin Changsheng, so she thought about preparing the ransom in advance.

"Sure!" Lei Ming looked at Hou Su'e in surprise. He hadn't expected mainlanders to be so wealthy. He nodded in agreement, but he reminded Hou Su'e and Su Meng, "Kidnappers usually need old banknotes with non-consecutive numbers. You'd better prepare some in advance."

"Ah? What should we do?" Su Meng and Hou Su'e both became worried.

"Do you two have any business partners in Hong Kong? It would be best if your business partners could also come up with a solution."

"Inspector Lei, we usually do business in Beijing and are not familiar with Hong Kong. We really don't know how to handle this matter."

"Well, let's take you to the bank to figure out a solution. I hope the kidnappers don't expect the old banknotes."

Then Inspector Lei Ming took Su Meng and Hou Su'e to HSBC. Hou Su'e took out a check and directly exchanged it for five million Hong Kong dollars.

When Lei Ming stated their demands, HSBC could only provide two million in old banknotes, and was unable to provide the remaining three million. Then Lei Ming took Su Meng and Hou Su'e back to the police station again.

"Ms. Su, Ms. Hou, do you have any friends in Hong Kong? Or we can help you find a hotel?"

"No need! Please take us to this address." Hou Su'e took out an address and handed it to Inspector Lei Ming.

Lei Ming took the address without a care in the world, and found that it was actually a luxury house in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong. He couldn't help but look at Hou Su'e and Su Meng in surprise, "You two, this is a wealthy area in Hong Kong, do you have friends there?"

"We don't know the details. This is our only acquaintance in Hong Kong."

"Oh? I have the impression that this is Mr. Su Ning's mansion. What is your relationship with Mr. Su?"

"Suning? I don't know him!" Su Meng and Hou Su'e both shook their heads in confusion.

"Well, maybe your friend is Mr. Su's employee." Lei Ming could only guess at this moment, and then suddenly smiled and said, "If you could know Mr. Su, Mr. Jin's kidnapping would be much simpler."

"Ah? Is this Mr. Su very powerful?"

"Haha, everyone in Hong Kong, whether in the black or white world, gives Mr. Su face." Inspector Lei Ming explained with a smile, "If Mr. Su is willing to help, all he needs is a phone call, and there will be many people in Hong Kong willing to help."

"Inspector Lei, have you heard of a man named Han Chunming?" Su Meng suddenly looked at Lei Ming and asked.

"Han Chunming? No!" Lei Ming shook his head in confusion, then explained with a smile, "Hong Kong has a population of 5.6 million. We Hong Kong police can't possibly know everyone."

Lei Ming and another police officer drove a police car to Mid-Levels, and then came to the Su family in Mid-Levels according to the address provided by Hou Su'e. Looking at the sign on the doorplate, Lei Ming suddenly felt relieved.

"Haha, that's right!" Lei Ming breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Meng and Hou Su'e. "It really is Mr. Su's house. I hope your friend can speak with Mr. Su."

At this time, Su Meng and Hou Su'e became even more curious about this mysterious Mr. Su. They also hoped that Han Chunming could talk to this Mr. Su, and then solve the crisis easily as Inspector Lei Ming said.

Lei Ming first nervously tidied his clothes, and then rang the doorbell of the Su family. Soon, the Su family's servant Wu Ma came out and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Hello! I am Inspector Lei Ming from Yau Ma Tei Police Station. I have a case that requires me to visit Mr. Su." Seeing Wu Ma, the servant of the Su family, Lei Ming still explained respectfully.

"Oh? Then wait a moment, I'll go inform the gentleman."

"Haha, okay!"

Looking at the respectful Lei Ming, Su Meng felt very surprised. Before they came to Hong Kong, Su Meng specially collected some information about Hong Kong. She knew that the inspectors in Hong Kong were equivalent to the level of detachment leaders in the mainland. She didn't expect that they would be so polite to a businessman.

Soon, Wu Ma appeared at the gate again and invited everyone into the Su family's house. Only then could Su Meng and Hou Su'e really take a look around the mansion. Seeing several children playing in the small garden, Su Meng always felt that the oldest girl was very familiar.

Su Meng was confused by her own thoughts and thought she had seen it wrong. She continued to follow Lei Ming into the mansion and sat down in the Su family's living room.

"Please wait a moment, sit down and have some tea, our master will be down soon."

"Oh, thank you!"

"Su Meng, do you think Han Chunming knows this Mr. Su?" Hou Su'e asked Su Meng in a low voice.

"Huh? Since your dad gave me the address, they should have some connection!"

At this time, Su Ning was appraising some antiques with Grandpa Guan. He was a little surprised to hear Wu Ma's report. "Grandpa, you play with it first. I'll go down and see what's going on."

"Well, let's go!"

Looking at Grandpa Guan obsessed with playing with the porcelain in his hand, Suning smiled and turned to go downstairs. When Lei Ming and the other two in the living room downstairs saw Su Ning appear, they immediately stood up excitedly and looked at Su Ning.

When Su Meng and Hou Su'e saw Lei Ming's behavior, they quickly put down the teacups in their hands and stood up with Lei Ming to look. However, this sight made them both open their eyes wide in shock, as if they had seen something impossible.
