Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 206 The True Nature of Handsome Kun

The old man stared blankly at the teacup in his hand, his expression gloomy.

He doesn't care about losing fans.

In fact, most of He Tu's uncles didn't care.

People are out in the world to make money, and selling followers is a way to make a living on the side. If you can make money, why not?

However, there is a prerequisite: it must be controllable.

Ba Bi is the head of He Tu's hall, and everyone knows he's a fan, so naturally no one said anything.

If you try to sneak around and gain followers, that's not allowed.

Things like the white-headed old man won't work.

You're doing this so secretly that even the big boss doesn't know what you're up to.
Want to develop secretly and then amaze everyone?

Stop making trouble!

They're probably making money secretly so they can kick themselves out and take their place.

What's more, the old man with white hair is also cooperating with foreigners.

There are foreigners standing behind the group photo.

This is no secret in the martial arts world.

Considering the size of the previous Hetu, even if it split into three large gangs, its size would still be the same as Hung Hing.

Hung Hing was, after all, one of the top ten triad societies in Hong Kong.

If a typical triad were this size, it would have already attracted the attention of the police.

However, nothing happened to Hetu.

This is certainly not normal.

The reason is naturally tacitly accepted by the upper echelons of Hong Kong, meaning that it is the foreigners who support the combination of images.

As one of the three giants of the original Hetu, Shenye was well aware of this.

Foreigners are a resource, but this resource can only be kept in one's own hands. Even if foreigners want to contact one's subordinates, one must first be informed.

otherwise……

The god's gaze was cold and sinister.

He was holding his teacup, seemingly lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, someone came in to report:

"Master, Fire Shit and the Crown Prince have arrived."

The god reverted to his usual expression:

"Let them in."

Huo Shi and Han Bin entered one after the other, and the God asked kindly:
"how?"

Huo Shi and Han Bin exchanged a glance, and the former said:

"Following your instructions, we broke into Kowloon Ice Room and just happened to see the old man putting things into the refrigerator."

"When I opened the refrigerator, I found that the oil paper package was full of high-purity No. 4 liquor."

"It weighs a full ten pounds."

The god was greatly surprised:
"What did you say?"

"Did the old man put it in there himself?"

Han Bin said:
"Perhaps we went in too suddenly, and the white-headed bulbul was put in right in front of us."

"It was wrapped in oil paper very well; he thought we wouldn't care about it."

Little did they know, this was exactly what we were looking for.

The god nodded slowly, but a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart.

He was certain that the old man with white hair would never reveal to anyone that he had obtained ten pounds of high-purity No. 4 from the foreigners.

Foreigners probably wouldn't know either?!

How was this information leaked?
They even found out exactly where the old man was hiding.

Even the police paparazzi don't have this kind of intelligence-gathering ability, right?
The god asked:

"Was the old man with white hair executed?"

Huo Shi hurriedly said:
"As God instructed, we took him to the seaside and made him swallow ten pounds four with the seawater."

The master pressed on, asking:
"Swallowed it all?"

Huo Shi glanced at Han Bin beside him and nodded:
"Swallow it all!"

The old man looked at the two of them suspiciously:

"You didn't embezzle money behind the scenes, did you?"

Huo Shi smiled bitterly:
“Master, we are very familiar with the rules of the gang.”

"I was looking at the Crown Prince just now because..."

The god roared:

"What's there to hide from me?"

Huo Shi bluntly stated:
"Actually, it's nothing..."

"That's ten pounds of high-purity No. 4, how could someone of Bai Tou Weng's age possibly swallow that?"

"He only swallowed one pound, and he was gone."

"We remembered your instructions and decided to go all the way..."

The God said in a strange way:

"how?"

Fireshit shrugs:

"The prince then disemboweled the old man and stuffed all the number fours inside."

"It was burned to the ground, and there wasn't a trace left after washing it with seawater."

"Anyway, no one can find out."

The god was taken aback, and then he understood the reason for their dilemma.

"well done!"

Huo Shi and Han Bin were overjoyed.

The deity said to the two of them:

"You two are newly emerging talents from Hexingsheng. The leader of Hexingsheng is selected every two years. Do a good job, and in two years, you may very well be one of the two of you."

The two of them almost jumped up.

Is there really such a good thing?

Who doesn't want to climb the ladder in this world?
Just like Hung Hing's "Brother Kun," he killed Chan Kei and served five years in prison. After his release, he immediately rose to a high position, from a mere leader to a Grand Marshal in a short period of time.

Even the top bosses of major underworld organizations have to give him some leeway when they see him.

This is the true path of a passionate man in the martial world.

Indeed, without realizing it, Leung Kwan has become a role model and idol for some people.

The deity looked at the two of them and said:
"Do you have anything to say about this operation?"

Huo Shi asked in bewilderment:
"This operation was perfect, without any flaws."

“We’ve also dealt with the old man with white hair.”

Han Bin also said:

"It's very comfortable to be paired with Huo Shi, we feel like we get along very well."

Huo Shi nodded repeatedly.

The Crown Prince is quick-witted and thoughtful, while he is extremely decisive and efficient. The two complement each other perfectly.

The old man sighed, finally managing to enlighten them:
"You guys are going to be big shots someday too."

He said bluntly,

“We and Xingsheng hold elections every two years. There are only a few outstanding hall masters. They line up to share the spoils, and it will be your turn sooner or later.”

"However, you need to broaden your perspective."

"Try to put yourself in his shoes and think about why Grandpa wanted to kill the old man with white hair."

"Why did Grandpa want the old man with white hair to take Number Four to his death?"

Huo Shi asked blankly:
"The old man with white hair has broken the family rules!"

Han Bin's expression changed:
"Master, do you mean that the old man has someone backing him?"

Fire poop jumped really high:

"What? Someone in the gang broke the rules?"

Han Bin's expression was solemn:

"No!"

"What the god means is that the old man with white hair is colluding with outsiders."

The god gave Han Bin an approving look, then turned to Huo Shi and said:
"Fireshit, your mobility is undeniable."

"But you have to use your brain."

"This is no longer an era of fighting and killing."

"Fighting and killing are important, but if you don't use your brain, you'll just be a reckless brute your whole life."

Huo Shi lowered his head and said:
"Yes."

The deity said to the two of them:
"The old man with white hair did indeed collude with outsiders, specifically foreigners."

The two looked surprised.

The God said calmly:
"Times are different now than before."

“In the past, all clubs were eager to gain followers. Back then, as long as you could gain followers, you could make money.”

“It’s completely different now.”

"Anyone who abandons their fandom is doomed."

"Foreigners... are no exception."

"They can no longer sell openly as they used to."

"So they started secretly doing dirty tricks."

Fireshit said incredulously:
"This thing used to be available for public sale?"

Han Bin also looked at the God.

The god sighed:
"You guys are so young, you don't even know this kind of thing."

How did Hong Kong fall into foreign hands?

"Isn't it all because of opium?"

How did Hong Kong's four major families rise to power?

"Isn't it all because of opium?"

"Back then, those were government-run products. Anyone who sold them privately would be severely punished."

Huo Shi and Han Bin's eyes widened in surprise. The former said:

"How many years ago was that?"

The God sneered:
"How many years ago?"

"Let me tell you what you know: Lei Luo and Long Chengbang provide protection for drug dealers. Do you really think the foreigners don't know that?"

"They accept it."

"The things Lei Luo and Long Chengbang play with are things that the foreigners have already done."

"Once public opinion shifted, Lei Luo and Long Chengbang were thrown out as scapegoats."

"Now, even foreigners can only secretly collude with gang members to dare to leave the fandom."

"Otherwise, once public opinion erupts, these guys will have to get out of here."

Huo Shi and Han Bin exchanged a glance, both feeling that they had been enlightened this time.

The God said calmly:
"They're trying to trick us and Xingsheng's uncle into doing things that even the foreigners themselves wouldn't dare to do. They're treating us like fools."

“If He Xingsheng doesn’t make its voice heard, it won’t be long before it becomes a puppet of the foreigners.”

"This kind of thing is unacceptable."

The two of them immediately understood what the deity meant:
"My lord, what are your orders?" The deity smiled slightly:
"We are Hexingsheng, and we need to teach them a lesson."

"The one who bewitched the old man was a foreigner named James."

"That guy is a foreigner, and a foreigner with considerable influence."

"Don't kill him, let him bleed!"

Huo Shi and Han Bin said in unison:

"Yes!"

……

Fei Long gave Liang Kun a big hug:
"Brother Kun, I watched your first movie, it was really well made."

Congratulations on the box office success!

Handsome Kun laughed:

"It was just average, barely breaking 11 million in box office revenue."

Feilong laughed:

"Such high box office figures are barely acceptable."

Liang Kun shrugs:

"Don't be fooled by the high box office figures; I might only get 40% to 50% of the total."

"In other words, even excluding the investment, I can only get four million in profit."

Feilong said speechlessly:
"Brother Kun, you're being too immodest."

"Making money is very difficult in this day and age. If you make four million a month, it's faster than robbing a bank."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"Robbing a bank is nowhere as safe as making a movie."

Feilong thought about it and agreed.

Daisy stepped forward and smiled:

"Brother Kun, I am Daisy, Feilong's wife."

Handsome Kun exclaimed:
"My sister-in-law is truly as gentle and unassuming as a chrysanthemum."

"It's a pity my wife isn't here, otherwise you would have a lot in common."

He looked at the two of them and said,
"My wife is very capable; she was a gangster back in the day."

Feilong and Daisy exchanged a glance and laughed together.

Liang Kun said to Fei Long:

"Ah Long, if you have any spare funds, how about building a few movie theaters?"

"The golden age of the film industry is just around the corner. Building cinemas is a sure thing."

"There is at least a 20-year opportunity to make money."

Feilong said incredulously:
"Twenty years?!"

"It's been that long?!"

As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever.

The same applies to doing business; every product has a life cycle.

Unless it's basic necessities, many products will soon be obsolete given current scientific advancements.

The dragon immediately became interested:

"Ah Kun, what's the percentage of profits for the movie theater?"

Handsome Kun laughed:

Do you know why I asked you to build a movie theater?

"The cinema's share is the main part, basically 50% of the box office revenue."

Feilong's expression froze:
"So, if I own a movie theater chain and exclusively screen your 'Chasing Girls' and it grosses ten million at the box office, I get 50%?"

Lam Kwan nodded:
"Correct."

"Don't forget, this revenue sharing isn't a one-time thing."

"The cinema is a big platform; I'm not the only one making movies in Hong Kong."

"As long as their movies are shown in your theaters, you can get a steady stream of revenue."

"It's like a large supermarket."

“I built a big house and then attracted various merchants. When they sold goods, I got a share of the profits.”

"However, building a large supermarket is not easy."

"The cost of just buying the land is an astronomical figure."

Feilong nodded slowly:

"Ah Kun, you're right!"

Handsome Kun bluntly said:
“Movie theaters are different. Although they also require a lot of land, we don’t need to build movie theaters in prime locations.”

"That would be a pure waste."

"Any place that isn't too remote and has enough foot traffic can be established."

"And now movie tickets are only eighteen yuan, which is very cheap."

Feilong and Daisy exchanged a glance and both agreed with this view.

At this point in time, the wages of ordinary Hong Kong residents have increased, with white-collar workers earning over three thousand dollars. Spending eighteen dollars to watch a movie is absolutely no problem.

Handsome Kun laughed:

"Ah Long, are you interested?"

"If you're interested, invest in a movie theater."

"I can make you a promise: whether you want to do it or not afterward, I can take responsibility for the theater chain."

Flying Dragon's Strange Path:

"Brother Kun, what's wrong?"

Handsome Kun bluntly said:
“Every time I think about how half of the box office revenue is distributed to other companies, I feel a little heartbroken.”

"I have already contacted some people, wanting to establish cinema chains in various places."

"For example, Tuen Mun, Tsuen Wan, Kwai Tsing, Yau Tsim Mong, Kowloon City, etc."

"After that, I will continue to add other locations."

"In this way, we can capture all the districts with the highest population flow in Hong Kong."

Feilong has understood:
"Are you trying to create a large-scale supporting system?"

Handsome Kun nodded with a smile:

"Ah Long, I'm very optimistic about our collaboration. Would you like to join in?"

Feilong thought for a moment and said:

"Brother Kun, is this your business or Hung Hing's business?"

Handsome Kun smiled and shook his head:

"If it were Hung Hing's business, why would I need someone like you who's retired from the criminal world?"

"Then we might as well go directly to Tang Bao."

He glanced at the Flying Dragon couple and smiled.

"I'm a legitimate businessman."

Feilong laughed heartily and said bluntly:
"Brother Kun, I really like your idea, but business is business, so I need to investigate it first."

Liang Kun said happily:
"That's the way to do it."

Feilong thought for a moment and then said:
"Perhaps I need to deal with some other industries to raise start-up capital, which will inevitably take a while."

Liang Kun was taken aback:
"Are you having financial difficulties?"

Feilong didn't hide anything:

“I had all my funds tied up in another project, and it’s not possible to get them back in the short term.”

Liang Kun asked:

Is it profitable?

Feilong nodded:
"There's money to be made."

Handsome Kun clapped his hands and said:
"As long as there's some profit to be made, that way you won't have to withdraw your funds. Why not make money if you can?"

"Just keep that money in your pocket."

Feilong asked in confusion:
"But aren't we going to build a movie theater?"

Handsome Kun smiled:

“You don’t have working capital, but I do.”

"Come to my place later, and I'll lend you ten million, interest-free."

Feilong's mouth gaped open, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Daisy was also stunned.

Handsome Kun looked at the two of them with a smile:

"What's wrong? Feeling like the money's burning your hand?"

Feilong snapped out of his daze and quickly said:
"Brother Kun, there's no need for that. I'll just pay the interest as usual."

Handsome Kun smiled and shook his finger:
"Those who know me well know that I believe in win-win situations in business."

"I am optimistic about our cooperation."

"Ten million is nothing. You are worth far more than ten million."

Feilong looked at Liangkun and was completely convinced:
"Brother Kun, you're so generous!"

Liang Kun disagreed.

He started out selling fish balls, and he has that chivalrous spirit in his bones.

Before he was officially employed, people thought of him as someone who would use money to hurt others, but in reality, he just felt that things that could be settled with money were not really a big deal.

The real trouble is when money can't solve the problem.

In the past, people would casually throw away hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was considered a large sum of money.

But now, Lung Kwan has leveled up!
He had hundreds of millions sitting in his bank account, and he distributed all the profits from "Chasing Girls" to others, which really showed his generosity!
Isn't it just money?
I have money!
If you can use money to acquire talents certified by Adodu, the subsequent returns will be continuous.

What's a little money?

Ado can easily make money from the stock market.

Handsome Kun laughed:

“We’re both businessmen, so let’s stick to business. As for the movie theater, it’s not enough for me to just say it; you have to investigate it yourself.”

"After you've investigated and found out the details, if you think it's acceptable, then come to me to collect your money."

Liang Kun glanced at his watch and said with a troubled expression,
"I wanted to talk to you more, but I have a few meetings to attend, so I'll have to take my leave now."

Flying Dragon immediately said:
"I send you."

Feilong was also a businessman, and he knew all too well how busy big businessmen were, with their work schedules packed full of activities.

Even with various assistants to help, there are still many things that require my own decisions, not to mention the various social obligations...

Therefore, Feilong did not try to stop him.

As Liang Kun was leaving, he suddenly remembered something:
"Tang Bao's son, Tang Wenjun, has returned from Chongqing?"

Feilong laughed:

"Brother Kun also knows this kid Wenjun?"

“I watched that kid grow up. He was a troublemaker when he was little, then he went to study in Chongqing and just came back last month. Brother Leopard asked me to take care of him…”

Liang Kun said meaningfully:
"People change."

"According to my intelligence, that kid has committed all sorts of evil deeds in Chongqing."

"Judging from his actions, he is not a good person."

"You have to be careful."

Feilong's expression changed.

Young Kun smiled at Daisy:
“Sister-in-law, come to my house sometime. My husband comes from the same background as you, and I believe you will have a lot in common.”
