The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 364 They're all tough guys! (Seeking monthly votes)

How could this be?
Upon hearing the news from their underlings, the leaders of Hong Kong's triads, who had initially been somewhat worried, were all dumbfounded.

It turns out that setting up a new church in Taiwan is not as dangerous as I had imagined.

The wealth of ordinary Taiwanese people was even more unexpected to them.

No wonder a mere film businessman dared to come to Hong Kong Island and spend money on big stars; it turns out he really had the confidence.

With the stock market in Taiwan so volatile, do they have any opportunities?

The top leaders and their cronies were all tempted...

Yes, some people, without informing anyone, secretly took a large sum of money to Taiwan to speculate in stocks, hoping to make a fortune.

Fortunately, the money they invested in the stock market has been gradually arriving in their accounts, leaving them with plenty of spare cash.

As for the gang members who had already established themselves in Taiwan, they were instructed to guard their territory, and the gang's reinforcements would follow immediately.

If possible, try to conquer as much territory as possible.

Since the local Taiwanese gangs aren't that powerful, there's no need to be polite with them; territory is money.

They did this without even consulting Wu Feng; it was all an internal matter for the gang.

As for Wu Feng's initial warning, he had long since forgotten it.

Of course, some people also took the initiative to greet Wu Feng and explain the situation.

Camel of Tung Sing is such a figure. He was able to develop Tung Sing into the second largest triad in Hong Kong, so he was no ordinary person.

Because of Tung Sing's main business, they are used to being cautious and prudent in their actions.

He didn't think that local Taiwanese communities were pushovers.

What a joke!
They have money, manpower, and firearms; they're incredibly powerful.

As for Taiwan's frenzied stock market, without a guide, the camel will not easily enter the fray.

Do you really think the money in his hands just falls from the sky?

He doesn't even dare to easily get involved in the Hong Kong stock market, let alone the Taiwanese stock market, where the local bullies are not to be trifled with.

Upon hearing the news, Wu Feng greatly admired the camel's cautiousness.

Since he was the one who brought up the matter, he naturally wouldn't hesitate to offer guidance.

"If you're not fully prepared, it's best not to enter the Taiwanese stock market!"

"As one of the Four Asian Tigers, Taiwan's development momentum is even stronger than that of Hong Kong Island. So why is Taiwan's stock market not well-known, while Hong Kong Island has become a world-renowned financial center?"

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly; it's enough to just keep them in mind.

To put it bluntly, the stock market in Taiwan is not standardized and is subject to too much interference from human factors!
The Hong Kong stock market isn't much better; there are also large institutional investors supporting the market, it's just not as obvious.

In Taiwan, the stock market is naturally not without its big players. They regard the stock market as their private domain and would never allow foreign capital to easily interfere.

Unless, of course, the foreign capital has an inside man or has a strong background in the United States!
In my previous life, I read many urban rebirth novels, but very few of them described the stock market crash in Taiwan in the 1990s.

how so?

The real reason is that they want to enter the Taiwanese stock market and make money, but the obstacles and difficulties are too great.

It requires strong inherent capabilities, early market entry and planning years in advance, and safeguarding the safety of funds.

With that kind of time and energy, you could make more money in the stock market without so much trouble. Even a fool would know which way to go.

It doesn't give a very good first impression.

It can only be said that he was lucky. In his previous life, Wu Feng had just read a novel that introduced Taiwan in the 1990s, a novel about a reborn urban life during a stock market crash.

In fact, the stock market crash in Taiwan in the 1990s was also partly orchestrated by the United States.

While enjoying their comfortable life, they also conveniently took advantage of Taiwan.

The result was that Taiwan's booming economic momentum was directly interrupted, and its accumulated wealth of 250 billion dollars was completely wiped out.

The core technology industry has been affected by the US's investment.

Many Taiwanese celebrities in later generations talk about making money to pay off debts all the time.

In fact, the root cause was the stock market crash of the 1990s.

Many of the parents of later Taiwanese celebrities were indeed borrowing money to speculate in stocks.

When the stock market crashes, you might lose everything, even your underwear.

Wu Feng previously lacked the time and energy to make strategic moves in Taiwan and the stock market.

But when the Taiwanese stock market crashes, he'll definitely make a killing. Of course, at most he'll just be following in the footsteps of American financial groups and Taiwanese financial forces, getting a few scraps along the way.

"That's right!"

Having received a definite reply, the camel immediately abandoned its previous idea.

He didn't think Wu Feng would lie to him about this; there was no need for him to.

If Wu Feng were to secretly invest in the Taiwanese stock market, it would be impossible to hide it from others, and it would be a huge blow to his reputation.

"Those gang members sent over..."

Camel had no intention of hiding anything from other groups, and directly told Wu Feng about the actions of a certain group.

"act recklessly!"

Wu Feng's reply was blunt: "If we really touch the fundamental interests of the local gangs, they will not only have to use their own power, but also the local government. How can we fight them?" With just a casual remark, he silenced the camel on the other end of the microphone.

And indeed, it turned out as expected.

Not long after, news came from Taiwan that the Shuifang and Lianhe forces had been completely wiped out.

It really was the local government that took action!

Without comparison, there is no harm!

Tung Sing, who also established a new branch in Taiwan, is doing quite well with Lien Sing and Hung Hing.

Dongxing Camel only managed to calm his restless underlings and prevent them from joining the other two unfortunate men in their troubles, thanks to Wu Feng's advice.

As for He Lien-sheng, he has a very close relationship with Taiwan.

In addition, Guan Zisen had been in charge of the overall situation in the past, and he always imitated Wu Feng's style of doing things, so there were no changes this time.

On the Hung Hing side, the person in charge of Taiwan affairs is Wang Zhi, the White Paper Fan of the Sai Kung branch, who is naturally very reliable in his actions.

Seeing that the water room and its partners had suffered misfortune, they became increasingly cautious in their actions.

If they've just arrived, they can act without restraint.

Since they have no territory and haven't established a firm foothold, they can do whatever they want.

But now that they have established new temples and have a certain territory, they can't afford to turn down their own money.

That's right. Although the territories they acquired were just scraps, given Taiwan's current economic level, they were still able to rake in a considerable amount of profit.

Among them, Wang Zhi, as Wu Feng's confidant, naturally performed the best.

He did as Wu Feng had instructed him before he came.

They do not compete with local community groups for territory in the bustling downtown area.

Instead, they set their sights on the outskirts of the city center.

The progress can be described as quite rapid.

Local community groups don't really care about these places.

They can comfortably make a lot of money in the city center, so why bother going to the outskirts?
The real local tyrants and powerful forces, known as local leaders, did not have enough strength to break in.

This gave Hung Hing, an outsider, an opportunity.

Among the 49 members of the Hung Hing gang, Chicken was the most outstanding.

Sometimes, you have to admire certain people; they really do have good fortune, and some even seem to be born into auspicious locations.

Clearly, whether from the perspective of movies or comics, Taiwan is Chicken's lucky place.

Otherwise, how could he have risen from a lowly underling to become the head of a hall?
Later, it even became the link between the Sanlian Gang and the largest triad alliance, did they really think anyone could become a marriage partner?

At present, the pheasant has not gone to seek refuge with his cousin.

Instead, he brought along a few trusted henchmen and became Wang Zhi's most aggressive force in expanding outlying territories.

He had only been in Taiwan for less than a month when he took control of several streets and became a powerful leader in the new gang.

Coupled with his ruthless methods and quick wit, he quickly gained momentum and attracted the attention of many local triad bosses.

Lei Gong, the leader of the Sanlian Gang, was one of them.

Lei Gong's recent days have been anything but easy.

Although the Sanlian Gang was powerful, as its leader, he made a fortune in the stock market, and his net worth had reached a considerable level.

When you have money in your pocket, your ambitions inevitably start to swell.

He hasn't run for parliament yet, but it's probably not far off.

No matter what, he's one of the top gang leaders in Taiwan, someone who's fearless and doesn't intimidate anyone.

But he never expected that his younger brother's trip to Hong Kong to recruit actors for a film would also bring him huge trouble.

All the top-tier triads on Hong Kong Island mobilized, sending their elite members to establish new branches, making life very difficult for local triads.

Unfortunately, the reason quickly spread, and Lei Gong suddenly became the unfortunate target of attacks from local gangs.

No matter which local gang leader you encounter, you're bound to be ridiculed and mocked, and you have no way to talk back.

Damn, this life is so frustrating.

Fortunately, the local gangsters from Hong Kong Island took the initiative to launch an offensive in the bustling urban area, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the local gangs, who then directly asked the local government to intervene and resolve the problem.

The money that the yamen (government) mobilized was all paid by Lei Gong. This was the unanimous opinion of many local gangs, and he dared not truly incur public wrath.

But this is not enough!
There are too many triads from Hong Kong Island, including several top-tier triad members who have not only established new branches but are also very stable.

Judging from this situation, it will probably be difficult to drive them away in the short term.

Just kidding. No matter how much money you spend, the local government is unwilling to get involved in some things, as it's easy to get yourself into trouble.

The other local triad forces united and put immense pressure on Lei Gong, strongly demanding that he, the instigator, deal with the trouble from the Hong Kong triads, or else things would become difficult.

Lei Gong did have members of the Sanlian Gang test the waters by targeting members of several triads from Hong Kong Island.

The most frustrating thing is that, without using firearms, the members of the Triads couldn't defeat an equal number of Hong Kong gangsters.

It's impossible that firearms would be used on a large scale for this matter. Do you really think the government offices are just for show?
