The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 434 Butterfly Wings Fluttering (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Before we knew it, it was October!

The incident of hundreds of celebrities and actors taking to the streets has long been forgotten, as if it never happened.

As for the news that Dehua received a letter containing firecrackers, it never reached the ears of ordinary citizens.

In fact, the sudden appearance of bodyguards accompanying celebrities who were originally very "approachable" has sparked considerable discussion in Hong Kong.

Many casual viewers couldn't understand why someone would bring bodyguards around when they're perfectly fine. Are they just showing off because they have money?

In fact, the celebrities who hired bodyguards have indeed stopped experiencing those terrifying incidents.

With such obvious results, how could they possibly revert to their previous state?
In fact, this was because Li Xin had spread the news in the martial arts world.

Any second- or third-rate gang leader who receives the news, unless they're mentally unstable, won't make trouble for themselves over this.

To reiterate, they are merely middlemen.

The reason for sending firecrackers to celebrities they admire is simply out of greed; they want to earn more money.

Of course, the main reason they dare to act so recklessly is that they feel they can control the celebrities they like.

Now that the Hung Hing Sai Kung branch has intervened, they dare not act recklessly.

Some things are just that absurd!

In fact, the security companies that celebrities hire are far more powerful, you know?

Registered in Panama, the vast majority of their security personnel are veterans from mainland China, and their combat effectiveness is unquestionable.

Putting aside other things, it would be quite easy to quietly have a few second- or third-rate triad leaders in Hong Kong disappear without a trace.

Actually, their main business is to ensure the safety of the VIPs on the three ships, specifically by providing transportation.

Forget about gambling. If boats make money by washing rice, some guys just like to compete with others and gamble, and they play the kind of game where they treat money like dirt. We can't just shut them out, can we?

In Southeast Asia, all sorts of bizarre things and strange occurrences happen.

For a ship to sail smoothly and maintain its reputation, a strong military deterrent is essential.

In this regard, Wu Feng's security company is absolutely without fault.

In fact, if the rotation wasn't done so well, the security company wouldn't have been able to manage its large workforce.

Some things, those who understand, understand!
In 1991, the average monthly wage for urban workers in mainland China was around 200 yuan.

Working for a security company, the basic salary is HK$3,000!

When there are tasks, the monthly salary is at least five thousand Hong Kong dollars!
Moreover, the company covers all expenses, including food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation, so there are basically no extra costs. It's definitely a highly sought-after job for veterans.

In fact, during their normal working hours, there is no difference between them and those in the military.

As the security company's reputation grew, its business in Southeast Asia became quite busy.

Many wealthy people have security needs.

Perfect, we can use the money from these wealthy people to experiment with various security equipment newly developed and produced in laboratories or factories.

The market demand for this product is quite broad.

On Hong Kong Island, it's just a branch office-level location.

Normally, there's nothing wrong with the number of security personnel at the Hong Kong Island office; it wouldn't exceed half a platoon, as that would be far too conspicuous. Although they exploited a loophole, the security company was able to operate normally on Hong Kong Island.

However, we cannot really treat the Hong Kong British government as fools. We still have to give them some face, and it is also necessary to do some superficial work.

Otherwise, they have plenty of ways to make things difficult for you, and that would be really tough.

By October, news of disasters in mainland China had decreased.

Of course, ATV has always had reporters stationed overseas to do live reporting in mainland China, which can be seen in the news and special programs every day.

That's already pretty good.

At the very least, if other international media want to stir up trouble and smear us, they'll have to ask ATV if they'll cooperate.
In fact, Wu Feng's emergence has given the mainland a lot more confidence.

The scale of trade with Su Xiong can be said to be growing larger and larger.

Although the mainland only acted as a supplier of light industrial materials, it reaped the lion's share of the profits.

Since most transactions involve bartering, it's not easy to use a clear revenue indicator like "Dao Le".

However, many heavy industrial enterprises in northern China have begun to upgrade their machinery and equipment, and they are all using Jiangsu Xiong products.

Fortunately, many heavy industrial units in the north already had an industrial background rooted in Su Xiong, so they were quite receptive to it.

It's too early to see any significant changes.

Even a fool would know that once these heavy industrial units in the mainland become familiar with the latest machinery and equipment acquired from the Su Xiong, their industrial standards in certain areas will definitely improve significantly.

In addition, there was also the normal equipment exchanged from the Soviet Union, whether it was heavy tractors, heavy trucks, or various types of helicopters and transport aircraft, which greatly enhanced the mobility of certain units in the mainland.

Especially helicopters and transport aircraft of various models, which used to be hard to buy even if you wanted to, are now acquired by exchanging them one crew at a time.

The fact that Wu Feng purchased more than 30 Mi-22 heavy transport helicopters under the company's name alone made certain powerful units in mainland China so interested in them that they were unwilling to let go.

The ability to airlift a fully armed regimental-level armored unit in a single operation is incredibly appealing in mainland China right now, and it's not just for simulated exercises.

Not to mention, there were other types of helicopters available for training, and such ample training opportunities almost sparked fierce competition among powerful units within the mainland.

When Wu Feng finally gets the even more extravagant An-22 heavy transport plane from Su Xiong, it will likely cause an even bigger sensation.

In his past life, there was a man who, by taking light industrial products that were insignificant and not particularly valuable in mainland China, traded them for an airplane that was currently in use in Su Xiong's territory, causing a great sensation at the time.

But the scale of trade that Wu Feng has managed to build up is something that even if those bigwigs joined forces, they could only look on with envy.

Therefore, the more good items you can redeem, the better.

Thanks to the trade routes of Su Xiong alone, the previously sluggish economy of Northeast China began to recover.

Many state-owned enterprises in the north also came back to life.

Wu Feng's "patriotic" Hong Kong business delegation directly liaised with the highest-level trade authorities on the mainland, and did not engage in any private activities.

At least in terms of the quality of light industrial products, state-owned enterprises' products are truly impeccable. They may be a bit ugly, but they're perfectly suitable for trade with Su Xiong.

Moreover, with Wu Feng's men establishing stable trading posts in Eastern European countries, a new era dawned for many state-owned food enterprises in mainland China.

The economic situation in Eastern Europe deteriorated rapidly, so Wu Feng was operating a Pinduoduo-like model there, providing the cheapest and most affordable daily necessities and production materials.
