Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 265 Borrowing Money

Wang Dao himself doesn't even know how much money he has.

All he knew was that Hongkong Land's stock was soaring.

Once he secures his wealth, he will easily become the richest man in Hong Kong!
The reason for referring to the top-ranking family is that the four families in Hong Kong have completely integrated into Hong Kong.

These four families are not the four families in the martial arts world.

Those were the four families who started by selling "golden longevity pills," and they had completely whitewashed their past.

Most of the wealth of these four families was converted into real estate and scattered throughout various parts of Hong Kong.

For example, in Causeway Bay, most of the units are owned by a single company.

A real landlord and a real rent collector.

He is the real richest person, both in terms of substance and influence; he is the undisputed richest person.

As for cash flow... even if you have a lot of money, can you buy so many properties?

It's obviously impossible.

It's too early for Wangdao to catch up with them.

However, some people think differently. A stockbroker from a bond brokerage firm called, saying something quite frantic:

"Mr. Wang, Hongkong Land's stock has reached HK$3.20!"

The kingly way disagrees:

"Why are you so nervous? I've already set up a plan, haven't I?"

The stockbroker was incredibly impressed with Wang Dao, not only by his exceptional insight but also by his incredible composure.

When Wang Dao first acquired his shares, Hong Kong Land's stock was only 21 cents a share, and now it has reached 3.2 dollars. That's an increase of many times!

Even if an ordinary person is greedy and doesn't want to sell, their tone will still be excited.

However, Mr. Wang spoke calmly and composedly, even somewhat indifferently.

The stockbroker swallowed hard.
"Wang Sheng, I'll call you later."

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

"Call me when Hongkong Land's share price reaches four dollars a share."

The stockbroker readily agreed.

Wang Daogang hung up the phone, his expression turning somewhat strange—the next moment someone pushed open the door and barged in:
"Ah Dao, Brother Dao, we've struck it rich!"

Wang Dao looked at Han Bin speechlessly:

"Binny, you're supposed to be a big shot in the underworld, how can you be so easily angered?"

Han Bin is a true underworld boss, a notorious smuggling tycoon in the underground world, and is known as Binny Tiger for his intelligence and martial arts skills.

But now, where is the slightest trace of composure?
Han Bin said impatiently:
"Ado, it's already increased fifteenfold!"

Wang Dao sighed:

"Yes, yes!"

"It has already increased fifteenfold, but there is still room for it to rise."

"What are you happy about at this time?"

Han Bin was beaming and full of energy:

How could I not be happy?

"I invested 20 million, and if I multiply it by 15, that's 300 million! I'm going to become a billionaire!"

Wang Dao shook his finger:

"not at all!"

"These are all paper profits, not actual gains; they're all fake."

"You're happy too soon."

Han Bin said irritably:

"Ado, don't be such a spoilsport."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I'm not trying to spoil the fun, I'm just telling the truth."

"Flattery won't make you rich; only the truth will bring you real benefits."

"How do you choose?"

Han Bin sat down reluctantly and said sullenly:

"you're right!"

Wang Dao also said:

"Furthermore, my target price is 4.1 yuan, but it's only 3.2 yuan now, so there's still a lot of room for growth."

"You'd be satisfied with fifteen times?"

"You don't want the nineteen times the amount?"

"Look at you, so pathetic!"

Han Bin was speechless:

"Brother Dao, you're right!"

Handsome Kun knocked on the door and came in, teasing:

“I can hear Benny’s loud voice from next door, why isn’t it louder now?”

Han Bin said bitterly:
"You two are both bad guys!"

"They just want to see me make a fool of myself."

Handsome Kun laughed and said:
"You're really good at turning the tables!"

“We didn’t force you to come to the company.”

“We didn’t tell you to keep yelling like that.”

"Now that you're so quiet, you're actually blaming us?"

Han Bin was helpless.

Liang Kun and Wang Dao exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

Han Bin laughed too: "Keep making fun of me like this."

Liang Kun asked curiously:
“Binny, with your personality, you shouldn’t be such an impatient person.”

"How did it turn out like this?"

Han Bin immediately became angry:
"Isn't this all your fault?"

Wang Dao quickly replied:
"Don't try to pin everything on us. I didn't do anything to you!"

Liang Kun also said:

"I'm busy with company matters during the day, and I often have to socialize with other people."

"I also have to deal with my wife tonight."

"That's none of my business."

The two said in unison:
"Don't try to shift the blame onto us!"

Han Bin sighed even more.

Handsome Kun frowned and said:
"What exactly is going on with you?"

Han Bin said indignantly:
"What else could it be? This is the fault of both of you!"
He pointed at Liang Kun,

"You, you're going to set up a Kowloon Motor Bus company for your wife, and make her the chairperson!"

He pointed to the kingly way,

"You need to set up a cinema chain for your wife and make her the general manager of the chain."

He pointed to himself.

"You two are so rich and powerful, you even included me in your own pocket."

"I have no choice but to agree to help Vanzai set up a seafood restaurant!"

"I'm broke right now!"

Liang Kun was taken aback; he felt a little embarrassed.

The kingly way doesn't buy into his approach:
"Come on, do you think I don't know you've been making a fortune with your smuggling activities in mainland China?"

"The daily turnover is in the tens of thousands."

"You don't have any money?"

Han Bin sighed:

"I really don't have any money!"

"I've found a shop for Van in Repulse Bay..."

Liang Kun and Wang Dao said in unison:

"Repulse Bay?!"

"What a big deal!"

Han Bin smiled wryly.

"It costs ten million to acquire a store, and then there are all sorts of renovation costs. The money is flowing out like water every day."

"If I don't make some extra money, I won't be able to make a living."

"Now, I've even stopped renovating my large apartment."

Han Bin sighed heavily, and Liang Kun got goosebumps. That sigh was so powerful that it would bring tears to anyone's eyes and break their heart.

Just as Liang Kun was about to speak awkwardly, Wang Dao laughed:

"Binny, Binny, you just came to borrow money, why are you acting so pitiful? Trying to play the victim!"

Liang Kun was taken aback, then immediately realized what was happening and his expression changed:
"Okay, Benny, I thought you were really struggling to make ends meet, and I was thinking of helping you out."

"I never expected you to be putting on an act for us!"

Han Bin looked at Wang Dao as if he had seen a ghost, and gave a dry laugh:
"Brother Kun, I wasn't acting!"

Wang Dao coldly snorted:
"Everyone in the martial arts world knows Binni Tiger's style: calm and composed in the face of adversity, skilled in both literature and martial arts."

"He has a kind of general's demeanor that remains calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him."

"But look at him, he came in without knocking, and he was shouting and yelling without any composure..."

"And considering what you said earlier..."

"You say you're not faking it? Who would believe that?"

Handsome Kun said irritably:

"Binny, that's gone too far!"

"We're brothers, how could you play tricks on us?"

Han Bin could only manage a wry smile:

"A-Dao, are you a god or a monster?"

"You can see that clearly?"

Wang Dao rolled his eyes:
"That's because I know what kind of person the real Benny is."

Han Bin was genuinely curious:

What kind of person am I?

Wang Dao pointed at Han Bin and said:
"If you really run into trouble, there are only two possibilities."

Liang Kun became interested:

"Which two?"

Wang Dao raised his finger:
"One approach is to get straight to the point, directly state the difficulties involved, and explicitly state that you want to borrow money."

After thinking for a moment, Liang Kun said:

"Clean and efficient, very decisive, indeed like Binney's style."

"What about the second one?"

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

"Swallow your teeth and tough it out."

"If someone asks you if you're having any problems, you'll definitely say no."

"Even if dinosaurs or people with narrow eyes ask, they'll give the same answer!"

Han Bin was so startled he almost fell off his chair, exclaiming incredulously:
"Brother Dao, are you a tapeworm in my stomach? How do you know me so well?"

Handsome Kun sighed:

"Everyone says being a big shot is glamorous, but it's not easy. You have to constantly put on a big shot act in front of your younger brothers." "If you really run into trouble, the only one who can help you is yourself."

Wang Dao was dissatisfied and said:
"Brother Kun, I'm not a problem!"

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"Yeah, and you too!"

Han Bin said irritably:

"You two, that's enough! Can't you see I'm annoyed?"

Changing his tone, he said to Wang Dao,

“Ah Dao, Xi Yan asked me to ask you when you’re free. He wants to invite you to Hai Tian for a meal.”

"You've done him a huge favor!"

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"Going to such a high-class place?"

Han Bin exclaimed in admiration:
"Ado is simply a genius. His casual idea made Narrow-Eyes stand out."

"A couple of days ago, Ah Niu was ambushed by Xiao Sa in Causeway Bay. Ah Niu made a phone call to Xi Yan, and good heavens, two hundred men were brought over. Xiao Sa was terrified!"

Liang Kun let out a long "Oh": "I know about that."

"There are many people vying for that place in Causeway Bay. Besides our Hung Hing, there's Situ from Tung Hing, Xiao Sa from Sun Kee, and Ding Lao Er from Chung Ching Society..."

“After we drove Sun Kee out of Yau Tsim Mong, everyone at Sun Kee was dissatisfied, so Xiao Sa wanted to give Ah Niu a welcoming ceremony.”

"New Reporter has gone to great lengths. First, he used his superior troops to entangle Ah Niu, and then Axe Jun launched an attack from behind."

"Luckily, Ah Niu was cautious and called Xi Yan, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble."

Han Bin chuckled:

“The small military outposts are doing exceptionally well, and A Niu is pulling people in; that’s just one of them.”

He changed the subject and said to Liang Kun,
"Ah Niu would rather ask Xi Yan for help than ask you for help. What's the meaning behind that..."

Liang Kun said calmly:
“Ah Niu is already a big shot, so I rarely ask Brother Long for help when I encounter problems.”

But a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Thinking back to Wang Dao's previous arrangements, I felt relieved.

The branch in Mong Kok is much larger than before. According to the arrangement of Liang Kun and Wang Dao, their main subordinates could have been placed in this branch.

Later, Wang Dao proposed the "Purify Mong Kok Plan".

It was to get the two younger brothers, Sha-Keung and Ah-Niu, who were the first to follow Leung-Kwan, to leave Mong Kok.

At first, Liang Kun felt a little regretful, but now he is actually very glad.

Ah Niu seems to have no respect for his boss, him!

But it doesn't matter.

Wang Dao asked in bewilderment:
"So, they developed a military outpost just by looking closely?"

Han Bin chuckled:

"How is that possible?"

"Those who are paired with the military supply station are the scapegoats. The drug lords of Kowloon Walled City will do anything for a few tens of thousands of dollars."

“Every time he cheats on his friends, Xi Yan will ask them if they need a scapegoat.”

“This time, Ah Niu needs two people.”

"Some of his men were so ruthless that they sent the dashing young man to sell salted duck eggs."

"This requires someone to take the blame."

Handsome Kun said slowly:
"This is not bad!"

“In the past, when people took the blame, they would draw lots to see who would take the blame. It was all a matter of luck.”

"To be honest, it has a significant impact on student organizations."

Han Bin laughed and said:

"Yup!"

"With this scapegoat, no one has to worry about accidentally killing someone and then having to take the blame for them. Morale is soaring."

"Everyone knows that they should just let Grandpa do his work, and he will take care of everything!"

“According to my keen eye, the reputation of Hung Hing’s gangsters has become quite prominent recently.”

"With no worries about the future, then naturally we can go on a killing spree!"

Wang Dao nodded slowly.

Han Bin then said:

“Shrewd eyes also turned Kowloon Walled City into a stolen goods exchange.”

“He buys everything. If he gets gold or silver, he melts it down and then sells it to a gold shop. He can make 20% profit just from this one transaction.”

“Once you buy a car, you can simply change its shell, spray paint it, and sell it to Saigon Big Fool, making another 20% profit.”

"Ado, what's wrong with your brain?"

"If you have such a great idea, why don't you use it yourself?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

“Binny, as you know, I’m not very interested in gang violence.”

"Besides, with such a developed economy in Mong Kok, what business wouldn't make money?"

"That kind of business can only be done in a lawless place like Kowloon Walled City!"

Liang Kun and Han Bin nodded in agreement.

Wang Dao then asked:

“Slim Eyes is doing really well. If you need money, why don’t you borrow from him?”

Han Bin smiled wryly:
"I can't bring myself to say it!"

Liang Kun and Wang Dao exchanged a glance, both of them understanding.

To put it bluntly, it's all about saving face!
When you're out in the game, making money is the top priority.

However, besides making money, saving face is of paramount importance.

Gangsters really do make a living by using their looks; if you give me face, we're brothers.

If you don't give me face, then watch out, I might not be so polite to you.

I wonder how many fights in the martial arts world started because of issues of saving face.

As for Han Bin, family ties are involved.

"In the past, although I did give dinosaurs and narrow-eyed people a lot of benefits because of me, to be honest, I just gave them benefits directly and didn't give them any technology."

"If I had Ado's brains, I would have taught these things to Slim Eyes long ago, instead of waiting until now."

“I’ve always been the one taking care of them. To be honest, in some ways, they’re almost as good as my kids.”

"You think I'm going to ask them for money when their business is just starting to pick up?"

"I can't do that!"

Handsome Kun sighed:

"How pitiful are the parents in the world."

Han Bin then said:

“I borrowed quite a lot of money, and they can’t come up with it.”

“Originally, setting up a restaurant wasn’t a pressing issue. After all, it was just about finding work for Van, not something urgent.”

"Wouldn't it be stupid to let this affect the future of my two younger brothers?"

Liang Kun joked:
"You're a great boss, but if you don't resolve this matter quickly, things won't be peaceful at home."

Han Bin was indignant:

"Wasn't this all caused by you?"

Handsome Kun said seriously:
"Binny, don't you dare label us like that."

“We didn’t force you to participate when we were doing things.”

Han Bin said speechlessly:
"We've already gone to such lengths, and you're still saying you won't include me?"

Liang Kun argued with him:

“Ah Zhong said he would take Ah Sao to see a villa, and he really does own a villa.”

“I made Bozi the chairman of Kowloon Motor Bus. I really invested money in the triad.”

"Ado made Ah Zhen the general manager of the cinema chain because he really wanted to integrate the cinema chain."

"how about you?"

Han Bin angrily said:

"We are of similar status, and you have all brought out so much. Don't I have any face to save?"

"By the way, this idea was given to me by Ado!"

The Way of the King is Deep and Profound:
“I told you to open a restaurant, but I didn’t tell you to open a restaurant in Repulse Bay.”

"You've got all the same suit in Kwai Ting. Do you think it's worth the money to open a restaurant there?"

"Don't tell me you don't own property in Kwai Tsing!"

Han Bin said with a dark face:

"Do you really think I have no dignity?!"

Handsome Kun sighed:

Vanity is a killer!

Han Bin said speechlessly:
"That's enough for you!"

Wang Dao asked with a smile:

"How much is it?"

Han Bin thought for a moment and said:

"Twenty million, I guess..."

Liang Kun said to Wang Dao:
"Benny is indeed a big shot, he just asked for twenty million!"

"Most people wouldn't be able to bring themselves to say that."

Han Bin casually said:
“If I were facing an ordinary person, like Jiang Tianyang, I wouldn’t be able to ask for 20 million at all; at most, I would borrow 5 million.”

"Jiang Tianyang simply can't come up with that much money!"

Liang Kun gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed in admiration:

"You're really going all out to borrow money!"

Han Bin pretended not to hear.

As long as I can borrow money, what's wrong with letting Liang Kun make a few jokes?

The only concern now is that Wang Dao doesn't have enough money.

Wang Dao readily agreed:
"Okay, I'll pay you in a bit!"

Han Bin was overjoyed:

"Really?"

The kingly way disagrees:

"Twenty million is nothing, it's not a huge sum of money. Do you think I can't afford it?"

Han Bin chuckled:

"No, that's not it. Why don't you write me a check and I can collect it myself?"

The Way of the King does not understand the Way:
"Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?"

He opened the drawer, took out a briefcase (actually taken from his spatial storage), and tossed it to Han Bin.

"Here, this is twenty million. You're supposed to be a big shot in this area, yet you come here to plead poverty."

"They could have handled things calmly and with ease, but now they're acting all flustered and scrambling."

"You're so spineless!"

Liang Kun and Han Bin were both stunned. Han Bin opened the briefcase and found it full of large golden bulls!

"That's really twenty million!"

Wang Dao asked in bewilderment:
"What are you all so nervous about? Is 20 million a lot?"

Liang Kun and Han Bin exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that he had really pulled it off!
