The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 398 A Different Look (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Since we can't go back to our hometown for the Lunar New Year, we'll have to go back to Hong Kong Island.

Despite the efforts of some people in Beijing to persuade Wu Feng to stay for the Lunar New Year.

He wouldn't be that stupid; he has no desire to get involved in the internal affairs of the capital.

The "patriotic Hong Kong businessmen" trade delegation, with its large sums of Hong Kong dollars, stirred up a storm that has attracted the attention and greed of countless influential people.

The profits involved are simply too great!
It's big enough that some people are willing to take risks to squeeze a huge slice of the pie out of it.

Such things are hard to avoid!
Wu Feng has his own ideas and principles; he only earns his own share.

I simply can't be bothered with any other profits that are beyond my comprehension or imagination.

Clearly, his 'sensible' behavior pleased some people.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to mobilize so much manpower, resources, and supplies in a short period of time.

They also have designs on the vast resources controlled by Wu Feng.

Wu Feng's choice was to keep his distance.

He returned to Hong Kong Island quietly, and not many people knew about it.

I really have no interest in paying attention to those wealthy Chinese people, or certain foreigners with ulterior motives.

He remained as uninterested as ever in the so-called high society gatherings.

In other words, the various resource exchanges within Hong Kong Island didn't really hold much appeal for Wu Feng.

If he doesn't care about anything and resorts to underhanded tactics, I doubt many of these Hong Kong celebrities could tolerate him.

This year, he spent the Lunar New Year holed up in his old Saigon home.

It's clear that Saigon has changed quite a bit.

The local residents' clothes were neat and clean, not designer brands, but mostly counterfeit or even high-quality counterfeit goods, which was already quite remarkable.

His energy and spirit are noticeably stronger than before.

The original dilapidated and old houses have been replaced by large areas of brand-new self-built buildings, which looks pleasing to the eye.

There were many more motorcycles and small trucks on the road, and the number of shops on the street had increased significantly, indicating that business was quite good.

The situation is even better in the Tseung Kwan O New Town, where the level of prosperity is similar to that of the outskirts of the Kowloon Peninsula.

Wu Feng's overall impression is that it's like a mainland city from the 1980s suddenly entering the level of the post-millennium era.

Wu Feng was very satisfied!

The fact that Saigon has undergone such a dramatic change in such a short time is undoubtedly largely due to the efforts of him and his men.

The seafood market he helped build, along with the supporting oxygen plant and cold storage warehouse, played a significant role.

Not only that, Wu Feng also bought land in Sai Kung early on and built a residential community modeled after 2020.

Built over several years, it is no different from newly built residential communities in later generations, except for the lack of intelligent management.

This is Wu Feng's and his trusted henchmen's true lair.

Those with families have mostly settled down here.

Putting aside other things, normally a security force of one company can call on two companies of security colleagues for support at any time.

Such a security force, along with strict access control, has largely eliminated some common security risks.

To put it simply, if Boss B's wife and kids lived here, they would never be caught red-handed by Brother Kun in the movie. The kids would be taken to and from school by a dedicated school bus, with two elite security teams of six people on board.

As for going directly to someone's home to arrest them, that's even more impossible.

Do you really think the security guards in this community are just for show?

And so it is. Although Saigon is a bit remote, all the core subordinates who have personally visited this newly built community, as well as the middle and senior managers of the company, are very interested in settling down here.

Well, to buy a house in this community, it's not as simple as just being a member of the family; you also have to sign strict buyback agreements.

If they want to sell it in the future, the property committee established by Wu Feng must buy it back at market price.

It can be said that Saigon's economy was built up by the construction of thousands of housing complexes and the seafood market.

The residents here all earn money through manual labor.

It's the car repair shop that Da Sha opened. Although it's getting bigger every year, if you want to find a job there, you can only barely make ends meet by working as a security guard. If you don't learn car repair skills, you have no future at all.

As for the used car dealership opened by another prominent member of the triad, it also requires a lot of car repair workers, providing many jobs for young people in Saigon.

Clearly, the Tseung Kwan O New Town, the core area of ​​Sai Kung, is doing relatively well in terms of economic development.

This is the headquarters of the Hung Hing Sai Kung branch.

Many Sai Kung triad members have settled down in the Tseung Kwan O New Town area, where there are housing subsidies available for those members.

The entertainment industry here is so crude that it can't even support a top-tier gang's branch, and other gangs aren't interested in coming here either.

It can be said that how Saigon develops depends entirely on Wu Feng's mood.

Wu Feng did put some effort into managing his base.

For example, the construction of new residential areas and the emergence of seafood markets were all part of previous arrangements.

Later, Big Fool expanded his auto repair shop and even planned to turn it into the largest used car trading center on Hong Kong Island.

A large-scale film and television base has begun construction in Tseung Kwan O.

Whether it's ATV, Fengrui Films, or other related film and television companies, they all have a great need for certain outdoor locations.

Wu Feng has both the resources and the ability to build a film and television base in Tseung Kwan O. If operated properly, the profitability could be quite high.

The supporting hotels and tea restaurants, as well as other leisure service industries, can also provide a large number of extra jobs, and develop the surrounding areas of the film and television base, etc. It is a mature industrial chain.

Meanwhile, the amateur football tournaments organized by Wu Feng during the Lunar New Year, which were set up by various branches of Hung Hing, have continued to this day.

During that period alone, the influx of fans and tourists from other parts of Hong Kong Island to watch the games was enough to generate substantial tourism revenue for Sai Kung.

Since it was an amateur competition organized internally by Hung Hing, the Football Association was not involved; it was more of a form of self-entertainment.

However, over the years, his fame has unexpectedly grown.

Other clubs are envious and want to form teams to get involved.

It's Chinese New Year, after all, just for fun.

After several years of intentional or unintentional upheavals, Saigon is now showing signs of good development and thriving industries.

Crucially, this development has benefited almost all residents of Saigon, unlike the false prosperity seen elsewhere where the wealthy indulge in lavish lifestyles while ordinary people struggle to make ends meet.

Staying here feels more comfortable than being on Shanghai Street in Mong Kok.

At least here, you won't find a situation where a top-tier beauty, unable to succeed in her studies, has no choice but to find work in bars or nightclubs.
