Film and Television: Bao Zong has finance in his left hand and entertainment in his right.

"Oh, it's Mr. Xiang. Hello, Mr. Xiang. May I ask what brings you here?"

“Mr. Bao is busy, so I won’t beat around the bush. Here’s the thing: I’m calling you today on behalf of the five Wo triads, the 14K, and the New Intent triads, to arrange a meeting with you. I wonder if you would do me the honor?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao understood that the underground forces in Hong Kong wanted to negotiate with him.

Originally, Hong Kong had eight major triads, but now that one of them, 'Wo Shing Tong', has been removed, only seven triads remain.

Liu Xiaobao didn't want to keep wasting time with those underground forces, so when he heard that they wanted to negotiate, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Alright, Mr. Xiang, please name a time and place!"

"Mr. Bao, you're so generous! Then let's meet at Longxing Teahouse at 7 PM tonight!"

"Okay, see you tonight!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaobao fell into deep thought.

Although Liu Xiaobao knew very well that the meeting with the seven major gangs tonight was about entertainment company matters, he did not inform Xuezhi in advance, nor did he intend to take Xuezhi with him.

He was simply thinking about how to negotiate with the seven major gangs tonight.

As for his personal safety at that time, Liu Xiaobao was not worried.

He understood that since Xiang Huaqiang could call him, it meant that the seven major triads were willing to negotiate peace and would not harm him.

Moreover, Liu Xiaobao was confident that with his success in dealing with 'Heshengtang' as a precedent, those underground forces wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

After all, although Liu Xiaobao went to the appointment, Xuezhi, who was known in the public eye among those underground forces, did not go with him, even though they had already registered their names.

If something really happens to Liu Xiaobao, those underground forces will worry that Xuezhi will deal with them again in the same way she dealt with 'Heshengtang'.

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao was certain that he would not be in any danger tonight, and he also only planned to take Su Jie with him to the appointment.

At 6:58 p.m., Liu Xiaobao and Su Jie arrived at Longxing Teahouse on time.

Good heavens! The Longxing Teahouse, which is not very big, has six or seven thousand tattooed men gathered outside its door. These men are obviously henchmen of the underworld.

Moreover, judging from their clearly defined positions and the unfriendly glances they exchanged, it was clear that they were not from the same club, but from seven different clubs.

However, despite their large numbers and the fact that they blocked the street, they still managed to leave a path in the middle.

After getting out of the car, Liu Xiaobao simply glanced at his underlings and then calmly led Su Jie into the Longxing Teahouse.

As soon as Liu Xiaobao stepped into Longxing Teahouse, he saw a large round table in the hall, and seven people were sitting around the table.

Liu Xiaobao recognized one of them at a glance; it was 'Dragon 670 Five', whom he had seen in the movie "God of Gamblers," also known as Xiang Huaqiang.

As for the other six, Liu Xiaobao didn't even need to think to guess their identities; they were probably the leaders of the other six gangs.

When Liu Xiaobao came in, Xiang Huaqiang and the others did not get up to greet him, but just sat in their seats and looked at Liu Xiaobao.

When Liu Xiaobao noticed that there was no eighth chair next to the table, he realized that the seven people in charge were either deliberately trying to intimidate him or wanting to see him make a fool of himself.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao was not angry. He walked directly to the table, and Su Jie also moved a chair from the side and placed it behind Liu Xiaobao.

Liu Xiaobao sat down calmly, without even greeting the seven people. He poured himself a cup of tea, chuckled, and said, "I'm here now, so let's all speak freely!"

The seven gang leaders exchanged glances, and then the eyes of the other six fell on Xiang Huaqiang, clearly indicating that they wanted him to be their representative.

Seeing this, Xiang Huaqiang didn't stand on ceremony and immediately spoke to Liu Xiaobao.

“Boss Bao, I am Xiang Huaqiang from ‘Xin Yi An’. The heads of the seven gangs are all here today, so I will speak on behalf of everyone. We invited Boss Bao here today in the hope that you will return the artists who poached our company. I wonder if Boss Bao can give our seven gangs this favor?”

Chapter 193 I may not have much else, but I have plenty of money! (Please subscribe)

"Hahaha……"

After hearing Xiang Huaqiang's words, Liu Xiaobao suddenly burst into laughter.

Moreover, Liu Xiaobao was not intimidated by being surrounded by thousands of people. He laughed unrestrainedly, leaving the seven gang leaders somewhat bewildered. They clearly did not understand what Liu Xiaobao was laughing about.

However, the seven leaders did not interrupt Liu Xiaobao; they were waiting for his reply.

After Liu Xiaobao's laughter subsided, he looked around at the seven people in charge and said with a cold smile.

"Don't you all find the conditions you've proposed ridiculous? Have you ever seen anyone take the food they've already eaten and give it back to someone else? Besides, our company signed those artists with real money, and it was all voluntary on their part. Why should I give them back just because of a few words from you? Just because you're a gang, do I have to be afraid of you and give in to you? Sorry, maybe your gangs are scary in other people's eyes, but in my eyes, they're just a small guild that I can easily wipe out if I want to!"

It's obvious that Liu Xiaobao wouldn't just hand over the artists he poached back to the seven major gangs.

Moreover, Liu Xiaobao's words were very disrespectful to the seven leaders, and even carried a strong sense of threat.

The seven leaders were all from the underworld, and they valued their reputation above all else. Liu Xiaobao's blatant disrespect made them feel as if they had been severely humiliated.

Immediately, someone couldn't stand this disrespect and slammed their hand on the table.

Snapped!

With a loud bang, the person in charge stood up, pointed at Liu Xiaobao, and shouted, "Mr. Bao, right? We're only speaking to you politely because we're giving you face. If you continue to be so arrogant, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Liu Xiaobao glanced at the person in charge and chuckled again: "I wonder which gang this person in charge belongs to?"

Without a second thought, the person in charge replied, "I am Jiang He, the person in charge of 'Heshengyi'!"

Liu Xiaobao's expression turned cold, and he asked Jiang He indifferently, "Very good, another gang with the character 'He' in their name. Boss Jiang, do you believe that with just one phone call from me, your He Sheng Yi will be the next 'He Sheng Tang'?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang He's expression changed, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes, but he did not back down.

At that moment, a fierce glint flashed in Jiang He's eyes, and he said in a harsh voice, "That's only if you, Mr. Bao, have the opportunity to make this call!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled again.

"Hahaha... Boss Jiang, I really don't know how you got to the position of leader. Do you think that I came to the appointment with only one person and didn't make any preparations in advance?"

Upon hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, Jiang He subconsciously replied, "What do you mean? Do you mean you have more people prepared on the perimeter than we do?"

Liu Xiaobao said calmly, "No, but I'm here tonight to meet with the leaders of your seven gangs. If anything happens to me tonight, then tomorrow there will be 'hidden bounties' for your seven gangs all over the world. Don't think I'm bluffing you. I may not have much else, but I have a lot of money! So even if you, Boss Jiang, want to take action against me, I'm afraid the other six gangs won't allow it!"

After Liu Xiaobao finished speaking, the expressions of all seven people in charge, including Jiang He, changed drastically.

At this moment, the seven leaders no longer had the calm and composure they had shown before. In fact, the other six leaders exchanged glances and then stared at Jiang He warily, as if they were afraid that Jiang He would make a move against Liu Xiaobao.

Clearly, they had realized that Liu Xiaobao wasn't lying, and they didn't want to be implicated by Jiang He. After all, if what Liu Xiaobao said was true, then if something happened to Liu Xiaobao tonight, it would cause all seven major gangs to follow in the footsteps of 'Heshengtang'.

The six leaders didn't want to risk the destruction of the entire gang over a single disagreement. Moreover, given the precedent of the 'Hesheng Hall' being wiped out, and knowing that Liu Xiaobao indeed had the ability to do so, they dared not take the risk even more.

In fact, not only those six people in charge, but even Jiang He himself dared not mention taking action against Liu Xiaobao again.

Jiang He was no fool to become the head of a gang. He not only understood that Liu Xiaobao was capable, but also that if he really took action against Liu Xiaobao, there was a high chance that he would be killed by the other six gangs before Liu Xiaobao was eliminated.

So even though Jiang He was very unhappy at that moment, he could only grit his teeth and sit back down in his seat, not daring to utter another harsh word.

At this moment, Xiang Huaqiang spoke up again.

"Mr. Bao, please don't get agitated. You may have misunderstood us!"

Liu Xiaobao turned to look at Xiang Huaqiang and said calmly, "I misunderstood? Very well, then please explain to me, Boss Xiang, where did I go wrong?"

Xiang Huaqiang glanced at the other people in charge before explaining to Liu Xiaobao, "President Bao, we're asking you to return those artists, but we won't let you return them for nothing. We'll refund all the money your company spent on signing them, and we'll also give each artist an additional 500,000 yuan in compensation. Is that acceptable to you?"

When Xiang Huaqiang said these words, not only Xiang Huaqiang, but also the other six gang leaders all showed a pained expression on their faces.

If each artist receives an additional 500,000 yuan in compensation, then ten artists would amount to 5 million yuan.

This amount of money might not seem like much to Liu Xiaobao, but it was a significant sum for the seven major triads.

The seven major triads sound impressive, with numerous venues and henchmen, but precisely because they employ so many people, they haven't accumulated much wealth.

Therefore, when they heard the conditions Xiang Huaqiang offered, the leaders were all heartbroken.

Unfortunately, even though they felt they had given a lot, Liu Xiaobao didn't appreciate it.

As soon as Xiang Huaqiang finished speaking, Liu Xiaobao smiled and shook his head.

"Sorry, but I'll say it again (to Wang Zhao): I don't have the habit of taking back what I've already swallowed! Besides, I really don't care about that little bit of compensation."

Upon hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, the seven gang leaders all became displeased.

Even Xiang Huaqiang, who had been laughing it off, couldn't help but turn cold and ask Liu Xiaobao a question.

"Mr. Bao, since you're not willing to budge an inch, why did you come to see us tonight?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled faintly: "I came here today not to make any concessions to you, but to kindly give you some advice!"

Honestly, the seven gang leaders had never felt so frustrated as they were today, but they dared not do anything to Liu Xiaobao and could only helplessly endure it.

At this moment, Xiang Huaqiang coldly asked Liu Xiaobao another question.

"So, Mr. Bao, what advice do you have for us tonight?"

Liu Xiaobao looked around at the seven people in charge once again.

"I would like to give you all a piece of advice: whatever profession you are in, you must abide by its rules. If you break the rules, it is not only dishonest behavior, but also unfair to others, and it will cause chaos in the world!"

The seven people in charge were all stunned for a moment after hearing Liu Xiaobao's words.

Jiang He spoke again at this moment, and said to Liu Xiaobao with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying we've broken the rules of the entertainment industry? You should think carefully before you say that. You're the ones breaking the rules now. In the past, the Hong Kong entertainment industry always developed in a very harmonious way. It was you who broke the previous rules, not only lowering the contract fees for artists but also poaching our artists everywhere. Now you're accusing us of breaking the rules. Isn't that a bit too much?"

As soon as Jiang He finished speaking, the other six gang leaders nodded in agreement, clearly agreeing with him.

But Liu Xiaobao just smiled faintly: "Ask yourselves honestly, were you really doing business amicably before? Which of your gangs dares to say that you never forced artists to act and make money for you? Which gang dares to say that you never used coercive means to force artists to sign contracts with you?"
