After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

We won't need Coca-Cola for now.

Because the Daigo Soda factory has been bombed.

However, during this period, Pepsi took advantage of the Coca-Cola shortage and actually sold out.

This made Ma Zhichao very unhappy!

Do you think it's so easy to take advantage of me, Officer Ma?

If we don't deal with it, who else should we deal with?

Moreover, before Coca-Cola and Pepsi entered Hong Kong Island, there were already local soft drink companies there.

However, these two companies have long accumulated countless experiences in defeating local soft drink brands around the world.

From the beginning, their usual trick was acquisition and joint venture.

If the acquisition is successful, the local brands will be hidden away, and then the company's own brands will take over the market.

If the acquisition fails, then we'll have to go all out!

Throw dirty water!

What do you mean by a dirty and chaotic environment, flies, sewage, dead rats...?

All sorts of stigma were thrown at them at once.

Finally, relying on their so-called "conscientious," "clean," and "international high-end soft drink brand" image, they crushed local brands and seized the market.

Over the decades, most of Hong Kong's major local soft drink brands have gone out of business.

The soda factory that Ma Zhichao acquired was one of the last to survive under such circumstances.

Back then, Coca-Cola and Pepsi hired more than a dozen media outlets, spent a lot of money to hire people, and launched a massive smear campaign against Youth Coke, claiming that its production line was unsanitary and even producing a bunch of fake photos that looked real.

In the photo, the production line is filthy and the ground is covered in sewage.

Finally, the original owner was forced to sell the factory at a low price, and it eventually fell into the hands of Ma Zhichao.

So, eldest brother, don't laugh at second brother.

Don't say Ma Zhichao's methods are shady.

Coca-Cola and Pepsi's tactics are far more ruthless than Ma Zhichao's!

Tian Yangsheng went out and began to make arrangements one by one.

"The boss has given the order: we can begin work!"

……

An hour later.

Meanwhile, inside the PepsiCo company.

Upon receiving the order from Tian Yangsheng, the undercover leader immediately relayed the message.

The five undercover agents then launched their operation.

Although the factory management was quite strict, it couldn't withstand the large number of internal spies.

Even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw!

Soon, a large batch of laxatives was thrown into the Coca-Cola pool.

Operation a success!

At Pepsi's distribution speed, this batch of goods will be distributed throughout Hong Kong in less than four days!

……

in the afternoon.

Ma Zhichao personally visited the TVB building in Tseung Kwan O.

Led by his secretary, he entered the Shaw Brothers reception room.

He then met Shao Daheng and Aunt Fang.

Shao Daheng laughed and said, "Mr. Ma, this is our first formal meeting."

Ma Zhichao said politely, "Shao Daheng, I've long admired your name."

After exchanging pleasantries, Ma Zhichao briefly explained that he had a movie that was about to be released.

Shao Daheng understood that TVB's news reporting in the previous period had offended Ma Zhichao to some extent.

Therefore, he agreed to this collaboration very readily.

This can also be seen as sending a conciliatory signal to Ma Zhichao.

After thanking him, Ma Zhichao got up to say goodbye and left.

Putting aside everything else, just the fact that Shao Daheng has donated to build so many schools in mainland China gives Ma Zhichao a very good impression of him.

This collaboration can be seen as the beginning of a thaw in relations between the two sides.

Two hours later.

Ma Zhichao arrived at Jiahe Cinemas.

Mr. Zou, the owner of Jiahe, personally came out to warmly welcome them.

At night.

Ma Zhichao then met with Lei Daheng, the owner of Golden Princess.

The two sides toasted each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.

With this, all three major cinema chains opened their doors to "Infernal Affairs".

three days later.

At the same time.

Ma Zhichao started spending money to hire all the major newspapers in Hong Kong to promote "Infernal Affairs".

At this time, the Daigu Group had been severely damaged and its influence had plummeted. Major newspapers also began to cooperate with Ma Zhichao again.

……

……

a new day.

The promotional campaign for "Infernal Affairs" has officially begun!

The news practically dominated the front page of all Hong Kong media outlets.

The publicity campaign was absolutely explosive!

"Ma Sir personally films autobiographical movie 'Infernal Affairs,' to hit three major theaters in three days" - Sing Tao Daily

"Infernal Affairs tells the true story of Inspector Ma's ten-year undercover mission" - Wenhui Daily

"New Film 'Infernal Affairs' Unveils the Past and Present Lives of Inspector Ma and Drug Kingpin Han Chen" - Ta Kung Pao

"..." - Ming Pao

That morning.

Newsstands across Hong Kong are bustling with activity.

More than twenty days have passed, and Hong Kong Island is so calm that the entire city is finding it hard to adjust.

Things used to be so much better.

Robberies, kidnappings, and bombings happen every day.

These twenty days were unusually quiet.

Everyone looks forward to the morning news, the 18 PM news, and the 22 PM news every day...

As a result, what I got each time was just trivial news.

The entire city of Hong Kong collectively lamented: "These days... are so incredibly boring!"

"I miss the ruthless bandits!"

I miss Huo Yuanjia!

"Even Inspector Ma isn't up to par. When will Inspector Ma be able to rise to prominence again?"

Today, these citizens still go to work and school listlessly.

Just then, the newsstand owner started shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Newspapers for sale! Breaking news! Inspector Ma Zhichao is filming a new movie about his ten years as an undercover agent!"

"The autobiographical film about Inspector Ma will officially hit three major theaters in three days. Don't miss it!"

"Infernal Affairs tells the untold story of the past and present lives of Inspector Ma and Han Chen!"

The newsstand owner was shouting enthusiastically.

It quickly attracted many bored, uninteresting, and listless citizens.

"Mr. Ma's Movie? Boss, give me a copy!"

"Is there any news about Inspector Ma? I need a copy!"

"Hahaha~~~ Is Inspector Ma finally going to return to the news industry?"

"Boss, I'll have one too!"

"Infernal Affairs? It's releasing in three days? I definitely have to see it!"

Such scenes were playing out simultaneously at newsstands throughout Hong Kong.

The news quickly went viral among Hong Kong residents.

As a result, naturally, "Infernal Affairs" immediately became the hottest topic in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Ma is really something else! First he started a company, and now he's making movies?"

"I'll definitely go see Inspector Ma's autobiography!"

……

Various clubs and organizations.

Hung Hing: "????"

Wo Luen Shing: "????"

Other clubs: "???"

Has Ma Zhichao made a movie?

isn't it?

Is he really that irresponsible?

You're a police officer!

Starting a company is one thing, but now he's even making movies?

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

……

West Kowloon Headquarters and its various branch offices.

Raymond, Philip, and Huang Bingyao: "????"

Stephen Chow, Chan Ka-kui, and Leung Siu-yau: "??????"

All officers: ????

Inspector Ma, are you serious?

Did he really go to make a movie?

However, it seems quite interesting.

After all, this is Ma Sir's privacy.

Going to the cinema to see it sounds pretty exciting!

……

Police Department.

Cai Yuanqi: "????"

Political Department: "????"

What the hell is this?

Liu Jianming: "!!!!"

His vigilance instantly reached its peak.

You should know that he was an undercover agent planted by Han Chen in the police force.
