The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 366 Taking on the Ultimate Challenge (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"What? Cousin, you're driving for Lei Gong of the Sanlian Gang?"

Three days passed in a flash. When his cousin Xiao Hei was about to leave and told Shan Ji the truth, Shan Ji was stunned.

"What's your expression?"

After three days of continuous revelry, Xiao Hei was experiencing back pain, his steps were unsteady and weak, and his overall spirit was somewhat low.

Seeing his cousin Shanji's exaggerated expression, he said irritably, "It's not like it's anything shameful, why can't we say it out loud?"

"And you, kid, you need to watch out too!"

"It's fine to call me boss by my name in front of me, but it's best to address me as Boss Lei in public!"

"After all, you're a top-tier figure in the underworld here. You surely understand the saying 'trouble comes from careless words'!"

Chicken looked surprised, and after his cousin finished speaking, he asked, "Cousin, don't you know why so many triads in Hong Kong are developing here?"

"Didn't you want to open a new branch?"

Xiao Hei looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Could it be that there's some other reason?"

"Of course!"

Chicken chuckled and said, "Everyone knows that when the gangs here fight, they use firearms at the drop of a hat. Which gang on Hong Kong Island isn't wary of that?"

"Opening a new branch here involves a lot of risk!"

"Cousin, didn't you come over?"

Xiao Hei said irritably, "You're doing quite well!"

"This is all thanks to your boss, cousin!"

Chicken chuckled and said, "If it weren't for those film businessmen here, using your boss's name as a front to stir up trouble in Hong Kong and anger a certain big shot, I'd probably still be holed up in Bangkok!"

"Cousin, you mean..."

Xiao Hei's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"Cousin, you guessed right!"

Chicken asserted, "We've been causing all this trouble because of instructions from that big shot. Your boss, Lei Gong, hasn't said a word yet!"

"Then, then, cousin, you're not going to go against the Triads, are you?"

Xiao Hei's expression changed slightly, and he said with concern, "This is no joke!"

As his trusted driver, he knew Lei Gong's temperament quite well.

Don't let Lei Gong's current age and supposedly improved public image fool you; he's still pretty much the same as he was in his prime. He's ruthless, vicious, and vindictive, and once a conflict arises, he'll stop at nothing.

My cousin Chicken did perform well, but compared to the strength of the Triad, he was far inferior.

"Cousin, do I look like an idiot?"

Chicken chuckled and said, "Unless the Hong Kong headquarters issues a strict order, I definitely won't initiate a conflict with the Triads!"

"The Hung Hing men here all have similar ideas!"

"That you……"

Xiao Hei was a little confused and didn't understand what his cousin meant.

If they didn't intend to directly clash with the Sanlian Gang, then coming here simply to establish a new branch seems rather casual.

"The fact that we were able to establish a foothold here and even build a new branch is already quite frustrating for your boss, Lei Gong!" "We, the members of these Hong Kong Island triads, were all brought here by your boss, Lei Gong. I believe the local triads here will put enough pressure on him!"

At this point, the pheasant couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

Of course, he couldn't have come up with these ideas; they were all things that his boss, Wang Zhi, had told him while they were drinking.

He was completely stunned when he heard those words.

If you want to annoy or upset someone, is this how you do it?
Now, seeing my cousin staring blankly, looking utterly dumbfounded, I suddenly felt a surge of satisfaction, a sense of intellectual superiority.

Xiao Hei was indeed shocked; his mind was completely blank.

"Cousin, you've come here this time, it's probably because of your boss, right?"

For once, the pheasant was clear-headed and said directly, "When you get back, just tell your boss everything that happened these past few days!"

"I reckon you'll be coming here to visit me quite often from now on, cousin!"

His guess was right; since Lei Gong was planning to poach his employees, he certainly wouldn't give up easily.

Xiao Hei was just a stepping stone; later, they even sent his sister-in-law Ding Yao, with the aim of recruiting Chicken into the Triads and ruining Hung Hing's plans.

Little did he know that although Chicken was an important figure in Hung Hing's organization here, he wasn't important enough to be able to establish himself.

The key is Wang Zhi, the person in charge of the newly established branch, but he simply can't get anything out of him. It's no longer possible to utilize the pheasant's role to its fullest extent, as depicted in the movie.

Just as Chicken said to his cousin Blackie, as long as the people sent by the Hong Kong triads can successfully gain a foothold here, it will be a victory.

The Shui Fang and Lianhe gangs clearly didn't understand this principle, thinking that the local gangs here were easy to deal with, and ended up being completely wiped out.

In fact, the thugs sent by Hung Hing had no intention of fighting with the top-tier triads here.

Instead, after acquiring some peripheral territories, they immediately began engaging in business with triads in Hong Kong.

They partnered with local small business owners to open nightclubs, arcades, mahjong parlors, and multi-room DVD screening rooms.

In addition, there are also high-quality counterfeit clothing and shoes, as well as erotic videotapes and DVDs that cannot be obtained through legitimate channels, and so on.

Ahem, the new Hung Hing branch here doesn't look like a triad headquarters; it's more like a distribution center for goods from Hong Kong Island.

That's right, the ultimate goal of the Hung Hing leadership was still to run a triad business.

The average person here is wealthy, so their spending power is naturally extraordinary.

Even the villagers at the grassroots level have considerable spending power, at least much stronger than the residents of public housing estates on Hong Kong Island.

In the past, by using familiar connections here to sell videotapes and other goods, the sales were limited to the bustling downtown area.

As for the outskirts of cities and the vast countryside, there is no coverage at all, or rather, no capacity to achieve coverage.

There was no other way before, but now that the gang has a branch and territory here, they can do it themselves, distributing videotapes, DVDs, and high-quality counterfeit clothing, shoes, hats, and other such items to the most basic rural areas.

Doing these things is not difficult.

In the past, they simply didn't have such connections or channels, but the situation is completely different now.

What do you call this? An alternative approach of surrounding the city from the countryside. It's quite feasible and has a broad market prospect.

On Hong Kong Island, Taiwanese film merchants flaunted their money with arrogance. Wu Feng had no energy to bother with a mere film merchant, so he decided to go big and might even be able to seize control of the film exhibition market here.
