Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 213 A Giant Pot Floats Through the Air

What's this about a gentleman taking revenge even after ten years? How do you survive those ten years?
Of course, revenge should be taken without delay!

Wang Dao shrugged:

"These two things are not contradictory. The saying 'A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years' is inspiring, it is forbearance, and it is great perseverance."

"Revenge should not be delayed overnight; it's about guts and a tit-for-tat approach."

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"I don't care about forbearance at all. If anyone messes with me, I'll throw them into the sea to feed the fish."

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"Brother Kun, I think the same way."

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

What the kingly way said is true.

Ten years is too long; he likes to take revenge without letting it linger overnight.

Anyone who dares to mess with him will have their bones broken on the spot.

Let's not talk about the distant past, but about the recent past.

Aren't Da Pu Hei and Bai Tou Weng spreading inside information about Hung Hing?

In truth, spreading the word is fine, but unfortunately it will affect the king's plan.

Then I'm sorry.

With a simple trick, he caused the two men to perish at sea.

Of course, taking down James is also a side effect, and this is no joke—James is part of the plan.

Even if Heliansheng and Xingsheng don't do anything, Wangdao will still arrange for people to do it.

Hong Kong has no shortage of desperate criminals; 100,000 dollars is enough for them to risk their lives.

If James dares to meddle with Hung Hing again, Wang Daozhen will kill him.

Liang Kun reminded him:
"The person in charge of the gang is surnamed Jiang, that's not our gang."

"Ado, don't focus your energy on this. Our own business is more important."

Wang Dao sighed inwardly, "Well done, you handsome Kun with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you've actually betrayed the gang too. It's really delightful."

"Don't worry, Brother Kun. 'Chasing Girls' will be taken off the screens in the next couple of days. According to the current statistics, it will have no problem reaching 11 million in box office revenue."

“I have already instructed Ah Ren to prepare an internal banquet to celebrate this.”

Handsome Kun nodded with a smile:

"It should."

Wang Dao reminded him:
"Brother Kun, you should start drafting the guest list."

The smile on Liang Kun's face disappeared:

"You still have to socialize?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be an internal celebration?"

The Way of the King is the Way of Nature:
"Of course it's internal, but we still need to invite the relevant people."

"Uncle Six and his colleagues in the film and television industry all want to invite him."

"Give and take is the norm."

Handsome Kun looked bitter:

"Socializing with people is harder than fighting with them."

"If I had known, I wouldn't have worked so hard at social events. Couldn't I have just passed the buck to someone else?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"It's definitely not going to work to push it onto someone else."

Liang Kun was unconvinced:
"This is a great way to expand your network, I don't believe anyone would be unwilling."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Once you get to know someone and establish a relationship, it takes a lot of time and money to maintain it."

"Most people can't handle this."

Suddenly, Liang Kun laughed:
"That's right."

Every circle has its own lifestyle. For example, gangsters might have a meal at a street food stall, a few bottles of beer, and then get into a fight—that's all they need.

The wealthy do a completely different thing.

First, you need several sets of clothes, then a car, and finally similar lifestyle habits.

These all require a lot of money and time.

When a stranger completely integrates into a circle, it is the process of being assimilated by that circle.

Therefore, people who are not in the same circle do not need to force themselves to integrate, unless you want to make changes.

Of course, Liang Kun wants to change. If he wants to transform himself (clean up his image), he needs to completely transform himself into a rich man.

"In that case, we'll have to invite Uncle Liu, the councilor, and several colleagues..."

Liang Kun did a quick calculation and his face turned green:

"Ah Dao, an internal banquet is probably not feasible. How about we find a large hotel and book an entire floor?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I only have one suggestion, but the final decision is still up to you, Kun."

Liang Kun rolled his eyes hard:

"Okay, I'll decide in the end."

Changing the subject, he said,
"Ado, don't forget about the stock funds this month."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I thought you would be interested in the triad wars in Yau Tsim Mong."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"Of course, playing with friends is something I enjoy."

"Watching others cheat on their friends isn't bad either."

"After all, that was my life when I was young."

"It's just that I'm getting older, so it's not really appropriate for me to go out and fool around with friends anymore."

"Jiang Tiansheng is nothing special, but he said something very good: 'A gangster who doesn't use his brain will be a dwarf for life.'"

"We're legitimate businessmen, why would we care about gang-related matters?"

I don't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly said something.
"I've figured it out now. In the gang, everything is about profit."

"No matter what kind of person Jiang Tiansheng was, he was still the leader of Hung Hing. Regardless of whether he brought it upon himself or not."

"But ultimately, we have a dispute with Dongxing."

"But look at how these people do things."

"Jiang Tiansheng's younger brother, Jiang Tianyang, didn't mention anything about avenging him."

Wang Dao smiled and reminded him:

"He arrested several of Handsome Nan's underlings."

Handsome Kun sneered:
"What's that?"

"Just a few petty scoundrels."

"Shouldn't Dongxing be the one truly held accountable?"

"Did you see Jiang Tianyang and Dongxing fall out?"

"why?"

Wang Dao smiled strangely and said:
"Going to war with Dongxing is not in our gang's interest."

Handsome Kun clapped his hands and said:
“That’s right, it’s not in our club’s best interest.”

"Is it really?"

Wang Dao laughed even louder.

Handsome Kun sneered:

"As long as we break up Dongxing, the surrounding gangs will help us take it over."

"The more territory the Fit owners have, the more income they earn, so why wouldn't they do it?"

"To put it bluntly, going to war with Dongxing is not in Jiang Tianyang's interest."

"That's all."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Jiang Tianyang is a tycoon in Siam, and he has his own businesses to take care of. Even if he can entrust them to professional managers, he can't entrust the affairs of the triads."

"In that case, it would be easy for someone to sideline you."

"It's natural for him to want to play it safe."

Handsome Kun scoffed:
"If you want to play it safe but also want to achieve results, then naturally you can't avenge his boss."

Wang Dao spoke a fair word:

"This kind of faucet is very popular among Fit drivers."

Liang Kun became increasingly sarcastic.

"Of course they like it."

"No responsibility, no hard work, how could I not like it?"

"However, there was one thing they didn't expect."

"Jiang Tianyang was able to suppress Jiang Tiansheng's death. If they were assassinated one day, the outcome would be the same as it is now."

"Then they'll be the ones crying."

Wang Dao nodded. That's for sure.

Once the assassination of Jiang Tiansheng becomes a precedent, all future events will be handled according to this precedent.

This is the rule, and this is tradition.

Liang Kun utterly disdained such behavior, waving his hand and saying:

"Anyway, our focus is on legitimate business; the gang is just a way to spend money to support a bunch of brothers."

Ugly Kwan's meaning was very clear: the brothers in the Mong Kok triads were his black gloves.

If something really happens, naturally Sha Qiang and A Niu will have to step in.

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Brother Qiang and Brother Niu aren't living as well as the guy who drives Fit."

Liang Kun disagreed:

"No matter how well they live, can they live as well as we do?"

Wang Dao laughed heartily.

Sha Qiang and A Niu are living the dream life of having such a handsome Kun who has been trained by Wang Dao.

Leung Kwan doesn't take the gang in Mong Kok seriously at all.

If one does not encounter the right path, then things will naturally be different.

Earning two or three million a month is simply too wonderful.

But after encountering Wangdao, two or three million a month? Is that enough to cover my house renovation expenses?
He naturally didn't care about that little bit of money.

Aside from the fees I need to pay to the club, I only make a token contribution each month.

Sha Qiang and A Niu were incredibly comfortable.

They live even more comfortably than the leaders of Hung Hing.

Those two streets are entirely under their own control; they only need to pay a small fee each month as stipulated.

Looking across Hong Kong, who is more carefree than them?

Honestly, if one day Brother Kun told them that he was going to give them a promotion and put them in a higher position, they wouldn't be happy about it—it involves so much worry, earns so little, and carries such high risks.

Liang Kun quickly reminded Wang Dao:

"Adao, your fund is our main source of income right now, so you have to make sure it's managed well."

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
"Don't worry, I'll be right there."

Liang Kun breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Daoqi said:

"Brother Kun, are you short of money right now?"

Handsome Kun bluntly said:
"I'm short of things!" "You've brought so many nice things to the house today, I can't even buy a few of them."

Wang Dao remained silent.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Leung Kwan chases people away:

"Go quickly!"

Wang Dao shook his head helplessly and left.

I rushed to the stock exchange and found the stock trader:
“Target Hongkong Land’s stock. No matter how much it is now, give me 21 cents to buy in. I’ll buy as much as I can.”

The stockbroker was dumbfounded:

"Full warehouse?"

Wang Dao rolled his eyes:
"I'd like to know if you could let me go all in?"

The stockbroker shook his head with a wry smile:

"cannot!"

Wanjiang Fund has too much money in its account. It's open to buying up shares, but with so few shares in circulation, how can it possibly be enough for them to buy up?

Wang Dao instructed:
"I want as many shares of the company as I can get for 21 cents each, but I'll sell them to you for 4.1 dollars."

The stockbroker swallowed hard.
"Again?"

Wang Dao asked directly:

Do you want to earn this money?

The stockbroker suddenly had a jolt:
"Wang Sheng, of course I want to."

"My stock trading skills are nothing compared to yours."

"Just give me your orders, and I'll do exactly what you say."

Wang Dao smiled and said:

"Transparent!"

With his financial resources reaching a certain level, he naturally gained the influence of a market manipulator.

In fact, given the current stock price, Wangdao could easily acquire Hongkong Land.

But what's the point?
He wants to acquire Jardine Matheson, but not now.

Wang Dao didn't have the time or inclination to play the game of the big players harvesting retail investors. He only needed to prepare to harvest the big players based on the feedback from the intelligence system.

How simple and convenient!
The stockbroker immediately brought over a contract, which Wang Dao carefully checked before signing it.

The stockbroker patted his chest and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will definitely do as you instruct."

"I would never reach out indiscriminately."

The stockbroker's statement was based on personal experience.

In the first two transactions, he thought his skills were far superior to Wang Sheng's, and he was not optimistic about Wang Dao's operations. He even thought that the two contracts would become long-term contracts.

Who knows when he might be forgotten by Wang Sheng right now?

I never expected this...

After two transactions, Wang Sheng had become a true billionaire, while he himself remained just an ordinary stock trader.

It goes without saying who has the better skills.

Stockbrokers aren't stupid; they'll naturally follow the methods outlined in the King's Way plan.

Of course, this isn't a method; it just gives you a range: buy at 2.1 yuan and sell at 4.1 yuan.

It's a very simple thing.

Wang Dao waved his hand and turned to leave.

The stockbroker glanced at the contracts in his hand, quickly found Hongkong Land's stock, and his pupils contracted again. Hongkong Land's current price was 25 cents.

He glanced at the previous contract and gasped.

Hongkong Land's stock is acting strangely.

In other words, will it continue to fall?

After thinking it over, he quickly placed a short order on the stock market, and then it was just a matter of slowly buying in.

The stockbroker didn't know when the contract would expire, but he knew that following Wang Sheng would mean another chance to get fish.

It might even be abalone.

His only regret was that, because of the confidentiality agreement, he couldn't brag about the contract; otherwise, he could have bragged about it for three days and three nights.

After finishing his business, Wang Dao called Liang Kun and leisurely went home.

I don't have anything to do at the company, so it's more comfortable to go home.

Wang Dao went home, but some people did not.

HSBC's Ms. Shen, seated at the head of the table, said:
"I have some unfortunate news to share with you all. Senior Superintendent James, who left here today, was involved in a car accident and suffered slash injuries to all four limbs. He is currently hospitalized."

Everyone was a little confused.

The Wharf Holdings executive asked incredulously:
"He was in a car accident... and his limbs were slashed?"

"How can these two things be related?"

Shen Daban said expressionlessly:

"This is the leader's judgment."

The Wharf Holdings executive was quite taken aback.

Hutchison Wong swallowed hard and asked:

What is the truth of the matter?

Shen Daban shrugged:

"I don't know, but it's definitely not retaliation by intelligence personnel."

"If the agents retaliate, they will absolutely not give James and Richard a chance to survive."

“I have a pretty good relationship with Brother Yi. He said that this is very likely retaliation from the triad.”

The land tycoon angrily said:

"Societies?"

"Those pieces of dog shit dare to attack us?"

Shen Daban countered with a question:

"Why shouldn't you dare?"

"They're a gang, they're thugs, what wouldn't they dare to do?"

The land tycoon sneered:
"I have bodyguards!"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Shen Daban's eyes:
"That's amazing."

"Do your wife and husband also have bodyguards?"

The landlady fell silent.

The Wharf Holdings taipan said incredulously:
Why was James targeted by the gang?

Shen Daban sighed:
"Why do you all ask questions you already know the answers to? According to our investigation, the Wanjiang Foundation is a criminal organization."

The land tycoon angrily said:

"The relevant authorities should conduct a thorough investigation!"

Shen Daban countered with a question:

"Investigate what thoroughly?"

"Before you even made your plans, others were already holding your shares."

"When you set up the scheme, the other party just made a quick profit along the way."

"What's the problem?"

The landlady was speechless for a moment. Feeling humiliated, he gritted his teeth and said:
"We have to save face no matter what."

Shen Daban clapped softly:
"I admire your courage, but please, don't drag me into this."

The landlady said in disbelief:
"He's just a gangster, and you're already chickening out?"

Shen Daban said expressionlessly:

"That's right."

"They're just a bunch of thugs, why did I chicken out?"

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this."

“We have many bodyguards, but none of them are as professional as James.”

"Just a friendly reminder, he's a senior agent from the Fog City Telecommunications Bureau, and he's incredibly skilled."

“He can take on three of your bodyguards at once.”

"In addition, James is also a senior superintendent of the police station."

“Those people don’t care about such a status at all.”

"If you need to crash, then crash; if you need to chop, then chop."

"James doesn't dare to say anything yet."

The landlady roared:
"James is just a coward, we are rich people."

Shen Daban stared blankly at the Landmark Daban, as if he were looking at an idiot.

"According to our investigation, Wanjiang Fund has already reached six or seven hundred million yuan. It would be very easy for them to buy your group if they wanted to."

"You're rich, but are you as rich as other people?"

"What you can do, most other people can do as well."

"What others can do, you may not be able to do."

Landmark Grand Manager is not convinced:
"Is there anything they can't do for me?"

Shen Daban shrugged:

"Would you dare treat LeBron James like that?"

The landlord's face turned as red as a boiled crab shell; he couldn't.

"Wanjiang Fund's money is their own. Is Zhidi Group's money yours?"

The landlord's face turned ashen.

Shen Daban struck him right where it hurt.

Yes, Hongkong Land Group is rich, extremely rich.

Unfortunately, that money didn't belong to the landlord; after all, he was just a professional manager.

"You have bodyguards provided by the company when you travel, but do your wife and children have them too?"

"Don't say they won't do it."

"The gang is a bunch of thugs. You're overthinking it to talk about morality and ethics with thugs."

"Don't say they wouldn't dare to do it."

"James and Richard, those two cops, are still in the hospital. Do you think your wives and kids are more important than them?"

The tycoon suddenly clenched his fist.

The taipans of Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered.

They both saw fear in each other's eyes.

I'm really scared!
They're clearly outlaws; they're not to be trifled with.

The two said in unison:
“Shen Daban is right, let’s discuss this matter further.”

Shen Daban nodded in satisfaction, but his expression froze the next moment.

The tycoon of Landmark suddenly stood up and shouted:

"You are all cowards, you have disgraced Chongqing."

"What's so great about Wanjiang?"

How skilled are we at "harvesting leeks" (a Chinese idiom for exploiting consumers)?

"It was just luck that Wan Jiang caught it twice. This time, I will make sure he loses everything!"

"I won't tell you my plans, lest someone try to curry favor with Wanjiang Group by secretly telling them."

Excuse me!

The landlady got up and left.

The crowd gasped in disbelief. Did he mean that someone in the conference room had leaked confidential information to Wanjiang Group?!
