Now it has really come true. As soon as the advertisements were rolled out in Hong Kong and Macau, the mini, stylish and novel flip-type mobile phone priced at 5000 Hong Kong dollars immediately became a hot seller.
The average monthly salary in Hong Kong is only 3000 Hong Kong dollars now, and 5000 is equivalent to two months' monthly salary.
But it is only half the price of a mobile phone, so ordinary people who could not afford it before can still afford it if they grit their teeth.
1 units were sold out as soon as they were put on the market. There were people queuing up in front of the Huake Telecom flagship store in Causeway Bay every day waiting to get their hands on the cards.
Among the first batch of customers, at least one third were members of the He Liansheng community. Support for Grandpa's business was a gift from various gangs, and it was also a way for them to have money in hand and trust the quality of Huake mobile phones.
Driven by such good news, the 50 and 60 yuan marks were broken soon.
The plan to raise 100 billion yuan in funds was successfully completed and even exceeded by a lot.
The plan to enter Japan, South Korea and the Taiwan Strait has begun to be implemented, and branches in various places are also under construction.
The operation of the US side is handed over to Qualcomm, which holds a 60% stake and is also the absolute controlling shareholder. After the results of the Huake mobile phone, CDMA is becoming a global standard.
Now we just need to wait for the standards to be finalized before the construction of the US CDMA network can begin.
But these are all things of the past. The most important thing for Zhang Wen right now is the UFC format.
UFC achieved good results after its trial broadcast on ESPN.
However, during the main competition stage, the players’ strength and playing styles were not very good, and the number of subscriptions was not very high.
But as the competition entered the middle stage and champions of several levels were born one after another, the viewing experience of the competition improved a lot.
Zhang Wen also found that the more bloody and stalemate the game was, the more popular it was with the audience, and the number of subscriptions continued to increase.
This shows that the UFC format is acceptable to the public. It is said that ESPN is already discussing whether to buy out the UFC broadcasting rights for the next few years.
In late June, with the championship match between lightweight champion Gao Gang and Thai boxing champion Shama, the tournament broadcast reached its first peak.
All 12500 tickets at the Hung Hom Stadium were sold out, with ticket revenue reaching HK$400 million and PPV paid subscriptions reaching 30.
The peripheral betting stations set up on the Oriental Giant received a total of 7000 million Hong Kong dollars in bets.
The odds for Gaogang are 1:1.5, and the odds for Shama are 1:1.2.
Obviously more people are optimistic about Shama.
Before the race started, speedboats were approaching the Oriental Giant one after another, and six helicopters were taking off and landing in the sky.
All of them came with large sums of cash to place their bets, including not only people from Hong Kong, but also wealthy people from Macau and Taiwan.
This means that the UFC has become a grand event, a carnival of money.
This has nothing to do with the gambling king, Sir Ho, and he is very jealous.
But the truth that a big tree attracts the wind still comes true.
On the Oriental Giant, plus the cash in the casino on a daily basis, the total amount of cash exceeded 420 million Hong Kong dollars. This is a huge fortune.
Even though the security team on the Giant had been increased to 300 people, with the elite team living and eating on board, it was inevitable that someone would have some evil intentions.
"Is the news reliable?" Zhang Wen asked solemnly on the phone.
"It's reliable. This needle has been with Lao Ding for almost nine years. It can't lie." The person on the other end of the phone said affirmatively.
"Okay, I got it. I owe you a favor." Zhang Wen nodded and said.
"Haha, if Mr. Wen has any good business in the future, it would be great if he could bring our Xiang family along." The person on the other end of the phone turned out to be Xiang Yan, the leader of Xinji.
"I heard that you have a boxing gym in Xinji, and that there are many people who are at the Red Stick level. Why don't you join us this time?" Zhang Wen asked back.
"It's my fault this time. I was the one who stopped him. Will there be another chance in the future?" Xiang Yan asked.
"Sure. There will be one or two championship challenges every month in the future, and you can choose people to participate." Zhang Wen answered affirmatively.
"Hahaha, that's great. I will organize a selection right away and will definitely pick the strongest one." Xiang Yan was overjoyed.
If Xin Ji has fighters in the UFC format, he can completely manipulate the fighters from the outside to maximize profits. This favor is really quick and worth it.
Chapter 203: A Big Tree Attracts the Wind
"Ayi, expand the drone's reconnaissance range to 5 kilometers." Zhang Wen began to give orders over the phone as he walked out of the venue.
"Boss, what happened?" Daboyi, who was sitting on the Eastern Giant, asked immediately.
"The boss of the city wall, together with some members of the Big Circle Gang, are planning to rob the Giant. I will take my men over there right away." Zhang Wen was already walking quickly towards the parking lot.
"Can I know when he will come so I can prepare?" asked Daboyi.
"I'm not sure exactly, but it should be quite a few people," Zhang Wen replied.
"Understood, I'll arrange it now."
"Well, if you really can't hold on any longer, just retreat back to the vault and focus on defense," Zhang Wen continued.
"clear."
After hanging up the call to Dabaoyi, Zhang Wen called Xing Tangxiong again.
"Axiong, where are you?" Zhang Wen had already walked to the car.
"Boss, I'm at home, waiting to watch the game." Xing Tangxiong replied.
"Gather all the people immediately and go to the helicopter pad at the dock. Someone wants to get the Giant." Zhang Wen continued after getting into the car.
"Pull over~~~Got it, I'll be there in half an hour." After Xing Tangxiong cursed loudly, he immediately rushed out of the house.
"Wan Chai, take over the territory of the old top of Kowloon Walled City for me at nine o'clock tonight."
"Yes, sir."
"Ah Le, contact Wan Chai and take over the territory of the old top of Kowloon Walled City for me at nine o'clock tonight."
"Understood, boss."
"Gao Lao, contact Wan Chai and Ah Lok, and take over the territory of the old top of Kowloon Walled City for me at nine o'clock tonight."
"Got it, Grandpa."
"Mr. Liu, at nine o'clock tonight, the Lian Sheng Society and I will wipe out the boss of Kowloon Walled City." Another call was made to Liu Mingli of Organized Crime and Triad Society.
"Mr. Zhang, why? Didn't I say that we should have a smooth transition?" Liu Mingli was shocked and asked quickly.
"I just got the news that Lao Ding and several big circle gangs are going to rob my gambling boat. If I don't fight back, Hong Kong will be in chaos." Zhang Wen said gritting his teeth.
"Uh~~~I got it. I'll try my best... Never mind. You can explain it to the North yourself. Your relationship is better than ours." Liu Mingli said.
"Yes, I will tell you." Zhang Wen nodded.
Zhang Wen hesitated for a while before making the final call.
"Mr. Zhang, what's the matter? Aren't you very busy tonight? How come you have time to call me?" Li Wenlong asked before Zhang Wen could speak.
"I will enter Kowloon Walled City tonight and defeat one of the three forces." Zhang Wen said directly.
"Well, what happened? Please explain it clearly." Li Wenlong's voice suddenly became serious.
“Laoding has joined forces with a few small gangs and has now set out to rob my Oriental Giant.
I am on my way there, and I also want to fight back, so I will take advantage of his weakness to remove the poison in the fortress." Zhang Wen explained.
"Okay, got it. I'll tell my superiors right away," Li Wenlong replied.
"Has the higher-ups decided what to do with Kowloon Walled City?" Zhang Wen continued to ask.
"Not yet. Demolition is certain. As for how to deal with it later, there is no unified opinion yet." Li Wenlong replied.
"Then can I take over?" Zhang Wen asked quickly.
"Oh? Are you interested? What are your plans?" Li Wenlong became interested.
"Qide Airport is still there, and there are restrictions on floor heights, so I'll convert it into a comprehensive shopping mall." Zhang Wen told him about his previous plan.
"Okay, I will convey your opinion to my superiors, but what about the placement of the people inside?" Li Wenlong asked again.
"I have land nearby that can be developed into low-rent housing for resettlement," Zhang Wen continued.
"Haha, so you already had this idea. Okay, I got it. I'll contact you right away. Wait for my call." Li Wenlong said with a smile.
"Well, I'll start at nine o'clock." Zhang Wen meant that no matter what the attitude of his superiors was, he would start at nine o'clock. Now he was just notifying them.
"There are still two hours. Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible." Li Wenlong said and hung up the phone.
At this time, Zhang Wen was almost at the helipad.
Several helicopters that had been notified long ago were already waiting there.
The crew members of the three cars didn't waste any time and got into the empty plane directly.
"Buzz~~~"
Without waiting for others, he took off directly and flew towards the high seas.
"Master Ding, what are your plans? Although we have the advantage in numbers, this is a naval battle." On a dilapidated large cargo ship, there were four to five hundred armed men standing on the deck with live ammunition. One of the big men with an AK on his chest asked.
"Just come over, kill them once you get on board." Ding Ye said viciously.
"...that's cruel enough. This time Zhang will suffer a heavy price." The big man said with his thumb up.
"Haha, you have to be ruthless. He is about to shit on my head." Ding Ye said with a sinister smile.
"Okay, since Mr. Ding is here to help us get rich, we won't hesitate either. We'll take the lead later." The big man said to the big circle guys around him.
"Yes, Master Ding, don't worry, just look at us."
"Exactly. He Liansheng is amazing. I even killed one the other day."
"Yes, rob him~~~"
...
"Thank you, brothers. I say the same thing again. I will only take half, and you can divide the rest among yourselves. The insider on the ship just sent me news that there are at least 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars on the ship now." Ding Ye said loudly.
"Wow~~~"
"Get rich~~"
"After I finish this job, I can go back and enjoy my retirement."
......
When people on the cargo ship heard the amount, they were in an uproar. In their eyes, this money was as easy as taking something out of a bag.
This is the confidence of the Big Circle Gang now.
In their opinion, the Hong Kong gangs nowadays are great if they have a few Black Stars at most, and these are only found in large gangs.
Before, most of their encounters involved swinging fists, and rarely even using knives.
Even the Hong Kong police are cowards.
Didn’t you see that a few days ago, four AKs were used to beat the Hong Kong police into surrender?
Therefore, these big circle guys who came across the sea did not take the guard force on the Giant seriously at all.
Even Lao Ding brought 200 gunmen from the city this time, and he spent a lot of money to equip each of them with an AK. Their firepower is definitely stronger than Zhang Wen's elite team.
"See it? We're almost there." Lao Ding said, pointing to the lights on the sea ahead.
"Hahaha, brothers, we're ready. There's a lot of Hong Kong dollars waiting for us."
Chapter 204: Championship Competition
Shama, the winner of four levels of Muay Thai gold belts, is known as the "kick through the heart" and the "handsome Muay Thai man". He has a certain degree of fame in the world boxing arena.
Gao Gang, Hong Kong's underground boxing champion, has mastered the Eight Seal Palm and has remained undefeated in the past two years. However, he is certainly not as famous as Shama.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the UFC lightweight championship battle officially started.
"clang!"
The Hung Hom Stadium was packed, and the 2000 seats that were temporarily added were also full.
With the sound of a gong.
Shama in the octagonal cage was the first to attack. He rushed forward suddenly, then leaped hard, and with a "monkey flying in the air", he hit Gao Gang with his knee.
"Crack~~"
Too fast.
Gao Gang had no way to avoid it and could only block with both hands. The powerful force made him take a big step back.
Then Shama calmly used the "crocodile tail" again and kicked Gao Gang's abdomen hard. If the kick was solid, it would definitely cause serious damage to Gao Gang.
