The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 503 Who can withstand this? (Seeking monthly votes)
Just as Wu Feng had guessed, Pandora's box had been opened.

After a certain gang, which had crossed the river to become a major player, successfully obtained HK$200 million in cash and safely evacuated by sea, the situation spiraled out of control.

Two days later, a super-rich second-generation heir was stopped and asked to leave on his way to a high-end nightclub!
Just when one wave subsided, another abruptly disappeared: another long-established Hong Kong tycoon has vanished.

In a short period of time, two disappearances that shocked Hong Kong Island occurred.

Suddenly, Hong Kong's wealthy were all on edge!

They began to strengthen their protection at home and in their surroundings.

Wu Feng's security company, which he had been running for several years, finally saw a business boom, with wealthy people flocking to his door every day to inquire about his services.

Unless it's not true, it's clear that they've hired bodyguards from Wu Feng's security company, so their basic personal safety shouldn't be a problem.

Are you kidding me? Do you really think they don't know the background of Wu Feng's security forces that are spread throughout Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe?

Wu Feng himself was also a veteran from mainland China.

Coupled with his prestige in the Hong Kong underworld, he was respected by virtually all the top triads in Hong Kong. This was a terrifying level of influence in the underworld.

Even if there are powerful figures crossing the river, as long as they are no longer involved, they will not target Wu Feng or anyone with whom he has a vested interest.

Even a powerful out-of-towner in Hong Kong Island needs a local gangster to meet him and guide him; otherwise, he'll be completely clueless and won't be able to do anything he wants.

that's the truth!
Since some Hong Kong tycoons hired Wu Feng's security company employees as bodyguards, there have been no accidents.

Although the annual security cost of over a million Hong Kong dollars is indeed a bit painful to spend, it's nothing compared to the misfortunes of some unlucky individuals.

As the saying goes, there's no harm in comparison.

Of course, some people don't like the Hong Kong dollar either, let alone Wu Feng.

Not every Hong Kong tycoon is interested in Wu Feng.

For example, Li Bancheng, the so-called richest Chinese man, hired Gurkha mercenaries as bodyguards.

Some Hong Kong tycoons followed suit, even privately mocking and ridiculing Wu Feng's bodyguards for being unknown and being nothing more than country bumpkins.

Sometimes, you can tell a lot about the attitude of Hong Kong tycoons towards the mainland by looking at the backgrounds of their bodyguards.

Only those who distrust the mainland would be suspicious of bodyguards from the mainland; even high-ranking American generals aren't this arrogant.

If you don't trust Wu Feng's security company, you can always ask for help from the mainland; they might just send some experts to act as bodyguards.

The reputation of the Gurkha mercenaries clearly had little deterrent effect on the powerful outsiders, and Young Master Li was still suddenly asked to leave.

This time, it was still Brother Qiang who took action.

However, it is clear that it was not only Brother Qiang and his gang of ruthless men who got involved; they also took the opportunity to make a fortune in the stock market.

Given the size of Cheung Kong Holdings, even a slight drop of a few percentage points in the stock market would amount to an astonishing amount of wealth in the billions.

This guy is really going all out to make money.

Not only did he immediately set off, covered in British military firecrackers, to the Li family mansion to demand money.

It's still HK$1 billion in cash, not a penny less!

At the same time, he also called ATV and TVB, as well as a number of top-tier newspapers, inviting them to send reporters to hold a brief briefing. Wu Feng, upon hearing the news, also brought his men to join in the fun.

The sky was cloudless at the time, and it was a rare good day!
The villa where Li Bancheng once lived was now packed with people.

Besides numerous reporters, there were also many onlookers who came to watch the spectacle.

Wu Feng was one of them, but he was a bit further away from the villa entrance and had a bit more bodyguards around him.

Then, accompanied by Li Bancheng, Brother Qiang swaggered to the villa entrance, a broad smile on his face, and said, "I'm here today to borrow HK$1 billion from Mr. Li for working capital. Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Li..."

boom!
Reporters were in an uproar, and onlookers were shocked.

They never expected that Brother Qiang would be so bold, not only daring to come to their door so brazenly, but also 'borrowing' HK$1 billion in one go.

It’s simply lawless!
The reporters were restless, but dared not make a sound, for fear of displeasing a powerful figure like Brother Qiang and being remembered.

The onlookers also put on large sunglasses that could cover most of their faces, afraid of being targeted by Brother Qiang.

The sound of shutters clicking filled the air, and the flashes were clearly visible even in broad daylight.

The film captured Li Bancheng's almost broken expression, his stiff face, and Qiang Ge's smug look.

The press conference ended quickly, and the news spread like wildfire throughout Hong Kong Island, causing a huge sensation.

The police were in a very awkward position at this moment!
Although everyone knew what was going on, Li Bancheng didn't call the police, and Qiang Ge didn't take any obviously excessive actions, so they really couldn't do anything at this point.

Didn't you hear? Even in front of reporters, Brother Qiang openly admitted that he borrowed HK$1 billion from Li Bancheng for working capital.

Although the amount is a bit large, it's not illegal, right?

Then, the stock prices of Li Bancheng's four listed groups plummeted that day, and the drop was significant.

Some shrewd individuals, along with later speculators, had made preparations well in advance.

As soon as the stock price dropped, they rushed in and, relying on the massive amount of retail investor funds they had gathered, managed to drive down the stock prices of the four listed companies by several percentage points.

Li Bancheng was so angry he almost vomited blood, but he dared not do anything.

His eldest son is still in Qiang Ge's hands, so anything he does at this time could provoke the other party.

Not to mention, the current situation is very likely created by the other party. If he were to step in and raise the stock price at this time, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
This matter dragged on for a week before Young Master Li finally returned home safely.

It's only because Li Bancheng has a deep foundation that he's able to withstand such a blow; otherwise, after Qiang Ge's antics, he would likely have suffered a severe blow.

Although it only lasted a week, the total losses certainly exceeded HK$3 billion, and may even be more!

This incident caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong and even the entire Chinese-speaking world; no one expected such a thing to happen.

Brother Qiang became famous overnight, becoming a well-known and formidable figure in the Chinese world and even throughout Asia.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong's tycoons are on high alert, fearing they might be the next ones to suffer.

For a time, even the business of high-end nightclubs was affected and slowed down considerably, which was truly both laughable and frustrating.

Wu Feng was also a bit confused. He didn't expect Brother Qiang to have evolved so much and become so fierce. It seemed that he would have to tighten the security around himself and his family in the future.
