The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 361 Weakness is the Original Sin! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"If you are interested, I can point you to a good path to wealth, enough to support the normal operation of a newly established temple!"

Wu Feng chuckled and, without keeping them in suspense any longer, said directly, "You should know that the arcade game market in Hong Kong is quite large!"

"Unfortunately, pirated arcade games are rampant in Taiwan, causing huge losses to the legitimate developers in Hong Kong!"

"If the triads behind you have branches over there, you could totally collaborate with the arcade game development companies on Hong Kong Island!"

"Whenever a new arcade game is released, your branch over there, working with the game development company's legal team, can restrict or even eliminate piracy in Taiwan. Your branch over there can make a lot of money from this!"

"Even a few percent of the profits from the arcade market isn't a small amount!"

These words deeply moved the top leaders present.

"Furthermore, once you have a branch there, you can sell the movies produced by your respective film companies on videotape or DVD, directly eliminating the middleman's profit margin. Once you expand, wouldn't you be able to earn even more?"

"And there are DVD players and CDs. It's not advisable to get involved in bustling city centers, but what about the suburbs and rural towns? They can definitely set up multi-room DVD rooms!"

"At that time, arcades, mahjong parlors, and other industries can follow suit, right? The farmers in those rural areas are quite wealthy!"

"As long as the underlings we send over don't act without any scruples, they might just achieve something quite remarkable!"

When dealing with the triad leaders present, appealing to emotions would only lead to trouble; it's all about interests.

Sure enough, the bigwigs who were originally planning to give him face and curry favor with him now had their eyes red with envy.

The pie in the sky that Wu Feng painted for them was just too delicious and tempting.

The key point is that, upon closer examination, it turns out to be quite feasible.

Damn it, what else is there to say!

Their respective gangs may not have much else, but they're full of ruthless thugs who dare to fight and take risks.

Furthermore, if the gang has any particularly powerful members, they could take this opportunity to send them away directly, thus preventing future internal conflicts from becoming too difficult to manage.

"Hung Hing will send capable people over there to establish branches!"

Before anyone else could speak, Jiang Tiansheng, who was sitting to the side, was the first to declare: "There's no reason not to give such a good opportunity a try!"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang is right!"

Dongxing Camel chimed in, "Dongxing will also send people over immediately; we're going to make a scene no matter what!"

Judging from his confident demeanor, there was clearly a significant difference between what he thought and what he said.

In fact, the camel was not only tempted, but also had other ideas.

On Hong Kong Island, Tung Sing's reputation was ruined, and they didn't even have much territory left, facing numerous restrictions and constraints.

But things are different in Taiwan. If they can successfully establish a branch there, Tung Sing can appear in a completely different guise.

After listening to Wu Feng's guidance, even without selling pills, there would be enough funds to keep the business running, so what was there to hesitate about?
Seeing that Hung Hing and Tung Sing were both planning to make a move, the others, including Lian Sheng, Shui Fong, and several other groups, naturally did not want to fall behind and expressed their intention to follow suit.

Wu Feng smiled slightly, seeing that he had achieved his goal for the night, and took his leave without lingering.

Back at the group headquarters, his trusted subordinate Li Xin was indeed waiting for him for quite some time.

"Boss, have you reached an agreement with those bigwigs?"

Li Xin couldn't glean anything from Wu Feng's calm expression, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"It's all settled. You'll be in charge of the rest!"

Wu Feng didn't keep him in suspense. After sitting down, he chuckled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that it's best to let the gang handle things on their own, I really wouldn't want to deal with them directly!"

The closer we get to the return, the more careful we need to be.

The Hong Kong British government's intention to indulge them meant that the triads' behavior would only become more and more unrestrained, which was also the easiest time for them to be caught red-handed.

Do you really think that all those Hong Kong police and gangster movies in later generations were made up? How could that be?

How could it be filmed so realistically without a real-life prototype?

It is true that the Hong Kong British government deliberately indulged the situation, but the police will not easily relax their efforts to target the police. They must be especially vigilant, especially at critical moments.

He wasn't worried about the police station planting spies around him!

In fact, Wu Feng was more than happy for the police station to do this. Undercover agents are all talented individuals; they are at least elites who have received secondary education and professional training.

If used properly, it can be even more effective than university graduates from Hong Kong Island.

Well, with Hong Kong's economy booming, university students from Hong Kong are in high demand.

For Wu Feng's numerous companies in Hong Kong, competing with those well-known large companies for talent is no easy task.

In fact, apart from legal and medical staff, his company mainly recruits college students majoring in science, engineering and technology.

As for university students specializing in literature and financial management, he politely declined, not wanting any major ideological differences within the company. The Hong Kong British government's manipulation of education was already showing its effects; otherwise, where would all these Ah Chans come from?

What Wu Feng truly feared were the undercover agents from the ZZ Department who occasionally appeared in Hong Kong movies; these guys were not easy to deal with.

They all brought along British hawks and hounds, some of whom had even received 'professional' training at the so-called Scotland Yard.

Wu Feng's companies in Hong Kong are all quite legitimate.

Unless you nitpick, you won't find any obvious mistakes.

But if the ZZ department were to infiltrate the smuggling business, the risk would be too great.

That's why, at least when he was in Hong Kong, he didn't want to reveal any obvious flaws. His close relationship with the head of a triad was also a mistake.

To put it proudly, Wu Feng's existence is definitely a great thing for the Hong Kong film and television industry, as well as the game development industry.

With him around, at least the film and television industry can maintain its minimum standards.

The game development industry can also develop in an orderly manner.

However, without him as a benchmark, it's hard to say whether Hong Kong's game development industry could maintain its current prosperity.

There are just too many shrewd business people in Hong Kong.

They are used to pursuing short-term gains and are not very interested in long-term, industrial ventures that require time and effort.

Otherwise, despite having many opportunities for transformation backed by the huge mainland market, Hong Kong Island missed them all and became a purely financial services city.

Hong Kong Island originally had the potential to become an Asian-level distribution center for Chinese medicinal herbs.

There was also the opportunity to ride the first wave of internet technology and become a digital technology city, but in the end, they all turned into real estate.

Yes, I'm talking about the Li Bancheng family!
Without going into details, Li Xin quickly got to work after receiving Wu Feng's instructions.

He did not act alone, but joined forces with the other branches of Hung Hing and sent hundreds of thugs to the small town.

Among them are some tough guys like savages and mad dogs!

Other top-tier triads on Hong Kong Island were also quick to act. Lui Yiu-yeung of Tung Sing, Crow of the Mountain Tiger dispatched from Siam, and Lok Siu and Big D of the Lian Sheng triads, among other powerful figures, all rushed to Little Life's homeland.

In fact, Wu Feng has already successfully cashed out most of the funds he invested in Xiao Rizi stock market through various shell financial companies.

The remaining small portion of funds was mainly intended for certain individuals and powerful groups, and of course, the amount was not small, around one billion dollars.

It's not difficult to cash out this portion of funds from the stock market, but transferring it smoothly from the savings account is a bit more complicated.

It can only be said that weakness is the original sin!

When Wu Zhixiong, one of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing, saw Lei Yaoyang, the Thunder Tiger, and Crow, the Mountain Tiger, suddenly appear, he was quite surprised.

These two guys are no pushovers.

Especially Lei Yaoyang, despite his refined appearance, is the most insane of the Five Tigers of Tung Sing.

It could even be said that Lei Yaoyang, the Thunder Tiger, alone is as powerful as the other four tigers combined – that's how exaggerated it is.

The key is that this guy's actions are unpredictable; no one knows what he's thinking.

In the movie, this guy's casual actions almost caused internal strife within the Hung Hing triad.

If it weren't for Chan Ho-nam's protagonist-like luck, he probably would have been killed by Lui Yiu-yeung long ago, and the final ending is quite illogical.

How could a smart guy like Lei Yaoyang not leave himself a way out?

In short, both the Smiling Tiger Wu Zhixiong and the Mountain-Descending Tiger Crow were wary of the Thunder Tiger Lei Yaoyang.

Sure enough, Lei Yaoyang had only been in Xiao Rizi for a short time when he got to know the local gangs and immediately started causing trouble.

Other powerful figures in Hong Kong's triads also used all sorts of methods to ensure the safety of their funds from cashing out their small fortunes in the stock market.

Inevitably, conflicts arose with local gangs, leading to small-scale street brawls.

At the same time, several film companies run by triads on Hong Kong Island joined forces to shoot three very story-driven gangster films.

The only difference between these three films and the gangster films previously made in Hong Kong is that the protagonists are all making trouble in their daily lives.

Whether it's smuggling, crossing over to work or do criminal activities, and ultimately having to join local Chinese community organizations to protect themselves; or being a powerful figure crossing the river to pull off a big heist in a small country; or being bullied while traveling or studying in a small country and ultimately having to fight back.

Among them are detailed accounts of how the soldiers stationed in the United States purchased firearms from the local troops, which are like real guides.

The director who made these three gangster movies is definitely a quick shooter. By early November, the three very purposeful films had been released in several cinemas on Hong Kong Island.

Unexpectedly, it sparked a considerable viewing frenzy, especially some of the scenes, which were so realistic that they tempted some people to watch.
