The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 292 A Terrible Idea (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
"Your Highness, tell me, what methods do you have to help us get revenge?"

After the leaders vented their frustrations, they calmed down and looked at the silent Hung Hing War God Prince. Camel asked him in an annoyed tone.

They also invited Jiang Tiansheng, but he declined, citing that he wasn't the leader.

As for Hung Hing's new leader, Han Bin, he left Hong Kong Island long ago, and no one knows where he is.

However, Hung Hing also indicated that they sent Prince, the head of Tsim Sha Tsui, to make up the numbers.

The crown prince was also sensible and basically only listened without speaking.

Anyway, Hung Hing suffered no losses this time.

In addition, he wasn't very interested in these things.

When Hung Hing organized its own lottery events, he only sent his elite henchmen to act as security guards and cooperate with Wu Feng and Jiang Tiansheng's men to set up lottery sales points. He himself did not actively participate in the process.

As the nominal God of War of Hung Hing, he prefers boxing!
In fact, Prince was basically in charge of Hung Hing's underground boxing matches.

Even though Hung Hing made a lot of money from their lottery activities, and he also received a share of the profits, he was still not too excited, despite the shock in his heart.

Mainly, he finds it troublesome!

As Wu Feng said before, lottery events are not so easy to run.

The sheer volume of personnel coordination alone could completely shut down someone like the Crown Prince.

His top priority right now is the fourth "Unrestricted Fighting Tournament," which has already begun its promotional campaign, and the second "Boxing Championship"!
Starting this year, the Unrestricted Fighting Tournament will be held annually.

The competition is scheduled to start at the end of April and end at the beginning of August, giving us plenty of time.

As for the "Boxing Championship," it is planned to be held twice a year!
The prince is now going to start selecting boxers from within the boxing gym to participate in the two competitions.

In addition, Jiang Tiansheng's partnership with others to block the boat also requires him to send some boxers to bolster the security force.

In short, the Crown Prince has been quite busy lately.

If it weren't for the complex web of underworld factions in Tsim Sha Tsui, forcing him to devote some of his energy to underworld affairs, he probably wouldn't have had the time or inclination to deal with the messy affairs within Hung Hing.

As for attending the current gathering of leaders, the Crown Prince was somewhat reluctant.

Firstly, their social status was unequal, and secondly, he wasn't interested in such things.

In fact, not only the crown prince felt awkward, but also the other leaders, such as the camel, felt strange.

They now find it difficult to understand Hung Hing at this point.

They're still the same Hung Hing, but the things they do don't feel like a pure triad.

Are these kinds of lucky draw events and "public welfare promotions" something a community organization could pull off?
Not to mention, Jiang Tiansheng is also actively involved in sports.

Not only did they purchase a well-known professional football club in Hong Kong, but they also spent a considerable amount of money sponsoring the recently popular Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup Champions Football Tournament.

The impression that camel and his crew had was that this guy was no longer going to be involved in the underworld.

In the past, they would never have believed that Jiang Tiansheng would waste money like this.

Aside from boosting one's reputation, there are basically no other practical benefits!

Not only Chiang Tin-sang, but also other leaders of Hung Hing, such as Wu Fung, the former Sai Kung branch leader who also retired behind the scenes, and Leung Kwan, the former Mong Kok branch leader, are in the same situation.

It's as if they'll all be legitimate business people from now on.

In short, the camels and their companions felt quite strange and awkward.

There's also Han Bin, who's incredibly low-key and practically invisible in Hong Kong's underworld.

But Camel and his men knew that Han Bin was a notorious maritime smuggler in Southeast Asia.

His family's sales volume was even more exaggerated than that of the entire Dongxing or Heliansheng.

This guy is a real tough guy, and nobody usually wants to mess with him easily.

Hung Hing had a few powerful leaders, but they all seemed to be doing nothing of substance, either getting involved in sports, making a name for themselves in the film industry, or running huge legitimate businesses.

The other leaders in the Hung Hing district also had different styles.

He's lost some of his former江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit; both his behavior and style are quite different from before.

As a result, the whole Hung Hing triad gave off a rather strange impression among the underworld bosses.

The Crown Prince had no idea what the gang leaders were thinking. He said without hesitation, "If you want to get revenge, you first need to understand what the Li family is afraid of us for?"

"This ban came too quickly; the Li family clearly takes it very seriously!"

At this point, he couldn't help but raise his voice: "But why would the Li family be wary?"

"This brings us to the 'people-benefiting promotional activities' held in Hung Hing Lane before the Lunar New Year!"

Then, he explained the details in detail, and finally said, "People are worried that if you follow suit, it will affect the supermarket group's business!"

"So, we've been implicated by Hung Hing again this time?"

Camel said with dissatisfaction, "No wonder Hung Hing is moving so slowly; they're on guard!"

The crown prince shrugged, indicating that it was pointless to talk to him about it.

"Things have come to this point, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore!"

The leader of the joint gang, Blue Whale, interjected, "I just want to get my revenge!"

"That makes things simple!" the Crown Prince laughed. "Whatever they fear about us, that's exactly what we'll do!"

"You mean, a 'people-benefiting promotion'?"

Uncle Deng then spoke up, shaking his head and saying, "Then the gang's losses would be too great!"

The other leaders nodded in agreement; they wouldn't do business that didn't make money.

"Hmph, what are you pretending for? Everyone knows who's who."

The Crown Prince said irritably, "I don't even need to ask what's going on with those prizes you brought over; they're probably cheaper than wholesale prices!"

These words directly exposed Camel and his gang's true colors, but these seasoned veterans remained unfazed.

If they didn't even have this much mental fortitude, how could they have gotten to where they are now?

"I didn't tell you to organize any public welfare activities!"

The crown prince didn't seem to care and calmly said, "Let's just follow the normal business model and do discounts and promotions!"

"As long as you can sell all the stockpiled prizes in a short period of time, not only will you not suffer any losses, but you can actually make a lot of money!"

He didn't understand these things before.

However, before the Lunar New Year, Wu Feng's speech at the General Hall meeting was too simple and straightforward, and with the help of various solid data, the Crown Prince understood the intricacies of the matter.

"As long as a large number of prizes can be sold, the Li family's supermarket group will naturally be greatly affected, and its performance may even decline sharply!"

"If you can do this, you'll have basically gotten your revenge!"

"Good, Your Highness, your idea is excellent!"

The leader of the joint gang, Blue Whale, clapped his hands and said directly, "We'll do as you say!"

However, he quickly changed the subject and said, "But, United has never done anything like this before. Isn't it very troublesome to organize a discount promotion?"

The other leaders and executives present did not interrupt Blue Whale; they listened attentively and nodded in agreement from time to time.

As for what they are really thinking, no one can guess.

A seasoned veteran is no joke; their shrewdness and thick skin are exceptionally strong.

"What, does Master Whale have something in mind?"

The prince was no novice in the martial arts world, and immediately understood the meaning behind Blue Whale's words.

Although United is a top-tier triad in Hong Kong, it is only considered a mid-tier triad.

However, the gang leader, Blue Whale, was senior and held a high position, even comparable to Uncle Deng in terms of experience in the martial arts world.

He is also the one who has stood the test of time since the era of the Four Great Detectives and is still as glorious as ever.

Not to mention the Crown Prince, even if Jiang Tiansheng were here, he would have to respectfully call him 'Uncle Whale'!
Moreover, since their main business is the cyan industry, their conflicts of interest with other gangs are not as acute.

Therefore, when fellow martial arts practitioners encounter this person, they will all give him some face.

“My idea is very simple!”

Blue Whale didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "If possible, could Hung Hing help organize a discount promotion and, while we're at it, jointly train a few talents in this field?"

"Oh, isn't that inappropriate?"

The prince asked suspiciously, "The alliance doesn't earn much to begin with, and they still have to share a lot of the profits with Hung Hing!"

"The main problem is, I have no experience!"

Blue Whale said with a wry smile, "Looking at all the triads in Hong Kong, only Hung Hing has experience in this area!"

At this point, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled, "Besides, after listening to your explanation, it seems that such discount promotions can make a lot of money?"

Upon hearing this, the other top leaders became interested.

They are not interested in anything else, but they are quite enthusiastic about making honest money.

As a gang leader, he certainly doesn't lack money. Otherwise, how could he live such a luxurious life of fine clothes, fine food, and extravagant revelry? It all comes down to money.

But they are really short of money, especially legitimate money!
Similarly, many triad leaders live in houses that don't even qualify as luxury homes.

With their financial resources, living in villas and driving luxury cars would be easy for them, but only the head of the gang gets such treatment, while the other leaders live in ordinary apartments.

"Of course!"

The Crown Prince was overjoyed and, without any intention of hiding anything, said directly, "The fact that the Li family's supermarket group can become Li Bancheng's cash cow shows just how lucrative it is!"

"Not only that, it can also provide many members of the community with a stable and respectable job!"

"Of course, this is on the premise that the operation of such an event must be up to standard; otherwise, it's just asking for trouble for yourself and the club!"

Before coming, he had a phone call with Wu Feng and they had a good talk.

Wu Feng's meaning was clear: if the leaders of triads such as Tung Sing and United wanted Hung Hing to help deal with the large number of prizes they had collected and hoarded, then they should explain the ins and outs properly.

In fact, the "people-benefiting promotional activities" that Hung Hing spent so much effort on before the Lunar New Year not only did not lose money, but actually made a lot of money, amounting to tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profit.

Of course, compared to the profits from selling lottery tickets, it's nothing.
