The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 298 Do you know who pays the salary? (Seeking monthly votes)
Wu Feng, who was already in the UK, knew everything that was happening on Hong Kong Island.

He was quite satisfied, though he guessed the Li family father and son were disgusted by him.

It would be even more interesting if a robber actually appeared, mimicking a movie plot.

Surely no one really thinks that a movie can make a top billionaire, whose thinking is mature and whose mindset is completely fixed, change immediately?
That's not how you make a joke!
At most, it has made the super-rich more vigilant and cautious.

Unless there are major upheavals, things will generally remain the same as before.

Could it be that Li Bancheng and Young Master Li don't have bodyguards with them when they go out these days?

If they were like Wu Feng, surrounded by bodyguards when they went out, even if some robbers had any ideas, it would be very difficult for them to succeed.

As for crossroads and similar terrain features that often play a 'key' role in movies and TV shows, Wu Feng is particularly careful when traveling.

If you pass a fork in the road and there are large trucks within 30 meters of you, you need to be extra careful.

In fact, going head-to-head with Li Bancheng on Hong Kong Island right now is really not a good option.

Even if they send someone to kill Li Bancheng, so what? There will probably be someone like Wang Bancheng or Wu Bancheng who will quickly take over the title of the richest Chinese person.

Meanwhile, Wu Feng could no longer stay in Hong Kong Island.

Not only Hong Kong Island, but probably the entire Commonwealth territory has no place for him.

No concrete evidence is needed; if HSBC suspects he was behind it, they will not hesitate to eliminate Wu Feng without hesitation.
That said, although he disliked HSBC and Li Bancheng, their relationship hadn't deteriorated to that extent.

Right now, being able to take advantage of the situation to annoy the Li family father and son, and prevent them from venting their anger, is already quite a good move.

Next, we just have to wait and see how the Li family reacts.

If the Li family father and son had drastic measures, Wu Feng would be better able to take further action.

Moreover, the best way to deal with Li Bancheng is through public opinion.

At least until Wu Feng has enough power and prestige to establish rules in Hong Kong, he must abide by the rules set by HSBC and the British foreigners.

Especially HSBC, unless Wu Feng stops doing business in Hong Kong, he basically can't avoid the vast network woven by the HSBC group.

Without a doubt, among the top Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong today, very few have absolutely no connection with HSBC.

Wu Feng didn't have much direct contact with HSBC, but he still managed to deposit a certain amount of money with them.

In his view, this was similar to a 'pledge of allegiance'.

Of course, it's not actually that exaggerated; it's more like an implicit statement.

The existence of financial transactions indicates that Wu Feng is not opposed to HSBC and is willing to do business with HSBC.

At least for now, that's the attitude HSBC wants!

Wu Feng understood this quite well.

At this time, he was in London, England.

The acquisition team has reached an agreement with Fulham, a League Two team based in London.

He came here this time to formally sign the acquisition agreement.

He was somewhat unhappy when talking about the acquisition.

The original target was Chelsea, a club that was in the lower half of the English First Division.

But damn it, Chelsea owner Bates asked for £120 million right off the bat, not even including the club's debts. He was basically treating him like a complete sucker. Keep in mind, according to the information gathered by the acquisition team, Chelsea's financial situation was extremely dire at the time; they had even mortgaged the stadium.

Let alone Chelsea, even Manchester United and Arsenal, excluding the value of the stadium, are only worth this much at this point.

At this point, Chelsea wasn't even worthy of shining the shoes of these two English First Division giants.

Wu Feng wasn't unable to afford the money; it was simply not worth it!
Most importantly, the English First Division at this time was not the English Premier League that would become later. If Wu Feng dared to invest so much money to acquire Chelsea, he would definitely be treated as a sucker.

Who knows, it might attract the attention of the powerful local tycoons in England, who would then try every means to exploit Wu Feng. If that happens, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.

The acquisition team quickly shifted its focus to Fulham, which was in the same district.

After only a slight probe, Fulham's current owner readily agreed.

The acquisition price was a mere two million pounds!

Upon receiving the news, Wu Feng immediately approved the acquisition.

Then, he rushed to London and personally signed the acquisition contract.

At this time, Fulham was still struggling in the English second division, League Two.

Their current performance is quite good, and they have a good chance of participating in the promotion playoffs and entering League One.

If the team owner weren't short of money, it's unlikely he would have been able to 'pick up a bargain'.

In fact, he watched two Fulham games from the stands and gained a fairly intuitive understanding of the team's strength.

It can only be said that the level of the English Second Division at that time was incomparable to that of later generations.

The players' technical skills were really quite average.

Once on the field, they played a simple game of charging forward and long passes, and whether they could score or not depended entirely on the abilities of the forwards.

All talk of tactics and techniques is nonsense; it all comes down to which team's players are more aggressive and stronger!

To put it bluntly, their skill in performing fancy tricks is not even as good as that of professional players in Hong Kong.

No matter what, professional football teams in Hong Kong belong to the Southern style.

In terms of technical skills and teamwork, they played quite well. The only area where they were inferior to English professional players was probably their physical attributes.

Therefore, he had absolutely no confidence in whether the team could be promoted to the top league.

All they could do was shower the club with pounds, both to appease the players and to use the power of money to motivate them to be even more courageous and fearless.

Time has passed far too quickly; it's already the end of April.

With the English League Two season nearing its end, it's not a good idea for him to forcefully intervene in the team's operations at this point. He can only remain a qualified bystander.

Although he looked down on the team's head coach at the time, thinking that he was incompetent, his command was too rough, and his reaction speed was also quite average.

Most importantly, they didn't show enough respect for Wu Feng, their new boss.

When they first met, he put on an arrogant air like a native Englishman. Both his tone of voice and facial expressions made Wu Feng dislike him.

If the timing weren't so inappropriate, Wu Feng would have loved to slap this guy a few times across the face to teach him how to treat his boss.

Sometimes, he really couldn't understand this guy's thought process. Did he even know who was paying his salary?
