The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 25: Brother Xiao Ma Helps Me Get Rich (Please Read More)
Overnight, the underground order on Shanghai Street was reshuffled.

Only two gangs, He Liansheng and Hong Yi, remained. He Liansheng occupied two-thirds of Shanghai Street, and the remaining one-third was controlled by Hong Yi.

Hong Yi has made a lot of money this time. As long as he can successfully digest the newly acquired territory, it will be no problem for him to become the goalkeeper of a second-rate society. Hong Yi already has the financial resources to do so.

No matter what his cousin did, Wu Feng fulfilled his promise.

Whoever takes over the venue will be in charge of it, of course there will be a maximum of three nightclubs.

"Xinzai, you've performed well. After you pay your respects to Guan Gong, you'll be officially a member of the club!"

Wu Feng said to a rather handsome young man, "Also, the Dream Acupressure Room will be under your care. Do your best, and if you make a contribution, I won't treat you unfairly!"

"Thank you so much, sir. I will do my best and will not let you down!"

Li Xin was very smart. His face was full of excitement and he kept bowing.

Wu Feng smiled slightly and said nothing more. This kid was the most outstanding among the Blue Lanterns. He was smart and flexible, so he should naturally be promoted as a role model.

When Guan Zaisen appeared in the sauna again, his outfit was absolutely eye-catching.

Late at night, he was wearing a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses, a big gold chain and a big gold watch, looking like a nouveau riche. When he saw Wu Feng, he laughed out loud with a smug look on his face.

"Brother Sen, you look so high-spirited and radiant. Have you paid off the debt on Ao Island?"

"Then why don't you pay back the money you owed to the mahjong parlor? Brother Sen isn't short of money now anyway!"

These words immediately wiped away the smile on Guan Zaisen's face. He took off his glasses and said unhappily, "Brother Feng, do you have to be so impatient? I'd better leave the Mahjong Hall in your hands first!"

"I finally have some cash on hand, and I don't want it to be gone so soon!"

Even though he destroyed three small gangs in one go, the largest of them only managed ten nightclubs, with a formal salary of less than 100 yuan, and the Blue Lantern only had a salary of 400 yuan.

The amount of money that can be extorted is limited, at most a few million, and it takes a lot of thought and energy to dig deeper.

The small societies in Hong Kong Island are very strange. Some of them even have only a billiard room, yet they dare to set up their own business!

Wu Feng smiled slightly, knowing this would be the result!
He invited Guan Zaisen to the private room he often visited on the second floor. While enjoying the attentive service of the female technician, he chatted with her aimlessly without mentioning anything about the underworld.

When the atmosphere was almost right, Wu Feng said directly: "Brother Sen, I need your help recently!"

"What's the deal?"

Guan Zaisen looked pleased and said nonchalantly, "Tell me about it. I'll help if I can!"

"Brother Sen, please help me say hello to your boss. I want to do some small business!"

"What small business?"

Guan Zaisen immediately became interested and asked curiously, "Is it profitable?"

"How would I know? I'm just trying to take a gamble!"

Wu Feng explained, "While wandering the streets these past few days, I saw a poster for 'A Better Tomorrow' on the wall of the movie theater owned by Princess Golden!"

"As soon as I saw it, I realized it was an urban gunfight movie!"

"As you know, during the Lunar New Year, Cheng Shilong's 'Police Story' was a huge hit in Hong Kong. I think this 'A Better Tomorrow' has great potential. One of the characters has a very stylish style!"

"Once the movie becomes a hit, who knows what the characters' outfits will become popular. I'm trying to take a gamble and sell some of the same clothes during the movie screenings!" "You're such a gambler!"

Guan Zaisen was speechless and waved his hand, saying, "I won't follow you anymore. Just go ahead and sell clothes!"

Wu Feng thanked him happily and was in a very good mood.

After all, Hong Kong Island was full of gold in the 1980s, and he happened to be lucky this time.

He did not lie to Guan Zaisen. He was indeed wandering around when he saw the promotional poster produced by the Golden Princess Cinemas, and his heart suddenly brightened up.

"A Better Tomorrow" is a classic of Hong Kong films, and Mark was all the rage at the time.

He later looked up some information and read many plots of Hong Kong entertainment novels, and knew that during the release of "A Better Tomorrow", Mark's windbreaker and toothpick combination sold like hotcakes.

Wu Feng naturally wanted to make some quick money. If he handled it well, it would not be impossible for him to make millions or even tens of millions in one go during the release of "A Better Tomorrow".

He had already asked, and the factory price of the same windbreaker as Mark was only around 20 Hong Kong dollars, but if it was sold during the hot release of "A Better Tomorrow", wouldn't it be too much to sell it for 100 Hong Kong dollars?
The main force that buys the same style windbreaker and toothpick as Xiao Ma Ge is mostly young people. The low-class bad guys especially like to follow the trend. Even if they have no money to eat, it can't stop them from buying trendy clothes.

Where are the most low-class thugs? Of course, the Yau Tsim Mong area!
If it weren't for He Liansheng's help and guarantee, Wu Feng's attempt to make money by selling windbreakers could only be done on Shanghai Street and a few surrounding streets, and he wouldn't be able to go out at all.

In fact, their strength is still a little bit inferior to Lian Sheng. If they can get help from Hung Hing, there is basically no need to worry about anything happening in the Yau Tsim Mong area.

After getting Guan Zaisen's consent, Wu Feng took quick action.

It was already the end of July, and "A Better Tomorrow" was to be released on August 2nd.

Time is running out. After all, there are only a dozen or so cinemas in the Golden Princess Cinema Chain, and we just need to arrange people to set up stalls outside the cinemas.

In order to maximize profits, he simply bought a small garment factory in Kwun Tong that was about to go bankrupt.

The scale is indeed not large, with only a few machines and less than 20 workers. It is just a small workshop.

His request to the small garment factory was simple: start producing windbreakers in three shifts immediately, the more the better.

For this purpose, he directly invested nearly 800,000 yuan, which was a huge investment.

The results are also gratifying!
When the movie "A Better Tomorrow" was released and Mark's charm swept the whole of Hong Kong Island, the audience who had just come out of the cinema were surprised to find that there was a stall outside selling the same windbreaker as Mark.

Although HK$100 was a bit expensive, the audience, who were still enjoying the aftertaste of the movie, bought one without hesitation. To their surprise, the vendor also gave them a small box of toothpicks for free.

With such thoughtful service, thousands of windbreakers were easily sold in one night!

Is it an exaggeration? Not at all!
Compared with the huge audience, the number of thousands of windbreakers is just child's play.

In less than four days, Wu Feng recovered all the costs he had spent.

But at this time, trouble also came.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that selling windbreakers during the movie craze is definitely a profitable business.

The ones with the most sensitive sense of smell are actually the gang scoundrels!
The name of Lian Sheng is indeed intimidating, but the low-level bad guys from the same first-class society don’t care much about it.

You know, with the popularity of "A Better Tomorrow" and the extensive coverage by newspapers and media, everyone in Hong Kong knows Mark, and the demand for the same style windbreaker as Mark is quite astonishing.
