Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 743 "742" Banquet! Guan Zu: Tax Lord, you've finally fallen into my hands, hehehe~~~
Wan Chai Police Station.

In the garden,
Wei Yingzi and Hu Huizhong walked and chatted with great interest.

"How about I introduce you to a boyfriend? His name is Ding Hu, and he's Brother Zu's bodyguard."

Hu Huizhong immediately thought of that agile fat man: "Him~~"

Wei Yingzi: "You've met before."

Hu Huizhong smiled and nodded: "I've seen him before. I encountered him yesterday when we were arresting a robber."

Wei Yingzi laughed and said, "It's good that I've met him. I've met him at several dinner parties. He's from Northeast China and I heard he was a bodyguard for a high-ranking leader. Later, he was recruited here by Brother Zu. Currently, he has two identities: one is a government-employed position in China, and the other is Brother Zu's personal bodyguard for the Five Star Group in Hong Kong."

"Anyone who can be a bodyguard for a high-ranking leader must have a perfect personality... I just don't know if you'd like that type."

Hu Huizhong has a generous and easygoing personality, and she's already 30 years old. If she doesn't get married soon, it will be really hard for her to find a husband. So she smiled and said, "Okay, we can give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yingzi was overjoyed: "Great! I'll arrange it for you right away!"

……

……

"Yo~~~"

"Tiger, I heard you have someone you like? And she's a policewoman~~~"

"Tiger Bro~~"

"Wow, Tiger is amazing!"

While eating in the canteen, Chen Yongren, Fang Zhanbo, and the others ran up to Ding Hu one by one, excitedly joining in the fun.

Ding Hu: “…………”

A dark line drooped down his forehead.

This gossip spreads way too fast!
How can you people be so gossipy? Don't you guys work? Aren't you busy enough? Brother Zu, hurry up and arrange some work for them!

Wait a minute, it seems that Brother Zu is the real culprit.

Hey!
and,

Ding Hu was even more afraid that Hu Huizhong might not like him.
You guys are spreading it so wildly.

I bet every time we meet, we'll be so embarrassed we'll be scratching our toes.

Ding Hu glared at the gossips and said righteously:
"Let me tell you, all I care about is my work, I don't care about women at all!"

"Women only slow me down!"

"This is a task assigned to me by the Party and the country!"

Wow~~~
Chen Yongren and the others all leaned back.

real or fake?

At this moment, Gao Jin walked over and said loudly, "Brother Hu, my wife called and said that Inspector Hu has agreed to go on a date with you!"

Ding Hu suddenly stood up: "Really?"

Surprise!

Chen Yongren and the others all looked down on it with disdain:
"cut!!"

"Who just said they don't have eyes for women?"

"He speaks righteously, but his heart is already corrupt!"

Ding Hu ignored them. What do your rumors matter? Finding a wife is more important!

……

A new day,
On Saturday, Ding Hu and Hu Huizhong were both off work, so Ruan Mei, Wei Yingzi, and others planned this date.

Location: Ocean Park.

The park was funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the government provided the land free of charge. The project cost HK$150 million. It officially opened to the public on January 1.5, 1977.

It is currently the largest park on Hong Kong Island.

10 o'clock in the morning.

It was October, the weather was sunny, and the temperature was 28 degrees Celsius, a pleasant temperature.

Hu Huizhong had short hair, wore a yellow dress, and had light makeup on.

Ding Hu saw her in the crowd from afar, and his heart immediately began to pound wildly.

"Hu hu hu hu hu hu..." Ding Hu was so nervous that he broke out in a sweat.

not far away,
Several groups of people hid behind the bushes.

It was all Guan Zu and his group, along with their wives... Because there were so many people, they were divided into several bushes.

"How can you be so gossipy!" Guan Zu looked at Gong Wei, Ruan Mei, Fang Ting, A Xing, and Gong Wei with disdain.

As for Lok Wai-ching? She went off to interview the news.

"Brother Zu, aren't you the same?" Gong Wei said disdainfully.

"I'm the eldest brother, this is about caring about my younger brother's happiness!" Guan Zu said confidently.

"I care about my brother's happiness." Gong Wei learned this.

Looking at Ding Hu's nervous appearance, Guan Zu felt a surge of disappointment: "He's usually so fierce when he fights, how come he becomes so weak when he sees a woman!"

Gong Wei: "I guess it's because I like it too much."

Guan Zu shook his head: "No, I need to dispel Ah Hu's enchantment so he can know that even goddesses can poop."

Everyone: "…………"

You're awesome!!!
Ruan Mei grabbed Guan Zu's flesh and twisted it!
"Ring ring ring~~~~"

Just then, Guan Zu's phone rang.

Wu Lianqian called: "Brother Zu, someone from Zheng Daheng's side called and said that Zheng Daheng wants to invite you to lunch to discuss a big business deal in the United States."

Guan Zu immediately thought of the Tax Lord.

He was indeed very interested in this deal.

"I'm not free at noon, how about tonight?"

When it comes to business, nothing beats gossip!

Priority level: It must be placed second!

Before long, everyone saw that Ding Hu and Hu Huizhong were on the right track for their date. Ding Hu gradually calmed down and, following the advice of others, took Hu Huizhong to ride the roller coaster and other amusement park rides.

Ruan Mei: "Honey, let's go ride the roller coaster too..."

Fang Ting: "That's right, I've never ridden a roller coaster before."

Guan Zu: "Let's go!"

……

at this time,

Zheng Daheng's villa.

Goddaughter: "He said he was busy at noon, but only in the evening."

Zheng Daheng: "Okay, then book a table at the Peninsula Hotel tonight."

Goddaughter: "Chinese food or Western food?"

Zheng Daheng: "Chinese food."

The goddaughter nodded: "Okay."

……

at night,

The Peninsula Hotel, Grand Ballroom.

One of the private rooms was set for a meeting at 19:00 PM, so Zheng Daheng arrived early at 18:40 PM.

Then, they waited and waited, but Guan Zu never came.

Zheng Daheng's expression shifted from displeasure to a sigh, and finally to patience.

We waited until 19:12 before Guan Zu finally arrived.

"Excuse me, my daughter pooped, I need to wipe her bottom..."

Guan Zu, dressed in a suit and tie and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, spoke with a smile as he led Wu Lianqian into the private room.

Zheng Daheng showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever: "Hahaha~~~ I understand, I used to be like that too."

"this way please."

Guan Zu took the main seat, with Wu Lianqian sitting beside him.

Zheng Daheng pointed to his goddaughter and introduced her, "This is my goddaughter, her name is A-Lian."

The goddaughter quickly raised her wine glass and respectfully toasted Guan Zu: "Mr. Guan, I have always admired you, and I am so glad to finally meet you today."

Guan Zu glanced at his goddaughter and nodded slightly: "Mm."

Not familiar.

Not interested in.

Next, Zheng Daheng instructed the waiters in the private room to begin serving the dishes.
Soup: Matsutake mushroom and scallop stewed with bamboo fungus and sea coconut.

Main courses: Steamed grouper with unicorn sauce, crispy suckling pig pieces, stir-fried Wagyu beef cubes with honey pepper sauce, drunken crab with Shaoxing wine, crispy coral chicken...

They were delivered one by one.

Zheng Daheng adopted a very humble attitude, and basically tried his best to have meals with Guan Zu.

The fish head was even pointed at Guan Zu.

After taking a few bites, Guan Zu asked, "Tell me, what exactly is the investment?"

"It's like this..." Zheng Daheng explained, "There was a wealthy American businessman named Donald, a real estate tycoon in the US, but due to the collapse of the US housing bubble, he is now heavily indebted..."

Everyone in New York knew about the "Tax King's" situation, so Zheng Daheng only made two phone calls to wealthy Chinese people in New York to get a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"He owns a 31-square-meter plot of undeveloped land on the west coast of Manhattan. This is his only chance to turn his life around, but he needs to develop it. His credit rating is currently very low, and hundreds of banks in the US are unwilling to lend to him. Therefore, he came to Hong Kong Island seeking funding." PS: After several rounds of haggling, Cheng Tai-heng finally secured 70% of the equity for US$9000 million plus development costs, while the Tax Master received 30%.

Guan Zu was unaware of this part of the history of the Tax Lord, and even less aware that in his previous life the Tax Lord had sued Zheng Daheng in court, demanding that Zheng Daheng pay 10 billion US dollars in compensation.

But he knew about the tax collector.

A madman.

His behavior is unpredictable and baffling.

They are treacherous and cunning, and turning on you is as easy as drinking water.

Just like the Iraq War in 2025 in the previous life, they said they would decide whether to participate in the war within two weeks and that they would negotiate with Iraq, but then suddenly sent bombers to destroy three of Iraq's nuclear facilities.

Its main feature is flexibility and versatility.

Guan Zu asked Zheng Daheng curiously, "Do you know him? Do you think he's reliable?"

Zheng Daheng thought for a moment: "He is a very eloquent person, and he can exaggerate a project to make it seem like it is the only one of its kind in the world."

Guan Zu: "What about character and morality?"

Zheng Daheng: "I've done some research, and this person is rather unpredictable, and his reputation in New York isn't very good either."

Guan Zu nodded: "The scarcity of land in Manhattan is beyond doubt, and the project's success is absolutely guaranteed. Moreover, I also intend to expand into the East Coast of the United States, and New York is a good place. Perhaps it can be my first step in investing on the East Coast."

Zheng Daheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Great!"

If Guan Zu is willing to cooperate, it means that Guan Zu agrees to wipe the slate clean of past grievances!

To be honest, the Five Star Group is putting a lot of pressure on the Zheng family.

It's a good thing that they can reconcile.

"Come on, drink!"

clink.

The two toasted.

The atmosphere then became much more lively.

Boss Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Donald's unpredictability is a big problem for us. What should we do?"

Guan Zu smiled and said, "Just find a good lawyer."

Trust American lawyers; they'll do anything for money!
Guan Zu has now realized the importance of this Manhattan plot to the eccentric tax lord, so don't blame Guan Zu for causing some trouble.

First, acquire the land.

If we keep dragging our feet, we'll slow down the progress.

Didn't you, Mr. Taxpayer, want to recoup your losses?
Then I'll drag you down!

Of course, they wouldn't do it so obviously. On the surface, they would still act like brothers, but behind the scenes, they would sabotage things and slow down the progress. Every year that was delayed, the tax collector would lose a lot of money just from the interest on those debts.

Hehehe~~~~
Guan Zu cackled twice, suppressed the corners of his mouth, and said to Zheng Daheng, "I will take the lead in this cooperation, is that alright?"

Zheng Daheng solemnly replied: "No problem!"

Guan Zu nodded: "Okay!"

Raise a glass.

"cheers!"

The goddaughter beside him looked at Guan Zu with admiration. He was handsome, rich, and, most importantly, incredibly powerful. He was practically the perfect man, but unfortunately, Guan Zu didn't even glance at her.

……

……

Shangri-La Hotel.

"Ahhh~~~~"

Tax Master Wan sneezed.

He scribbled on the paper, took stock of his wallet, and revealed a miserable expression.

He loses a lot of money every day he stays here.

"I wonder when Mr. Zheng will decide to cooperate."

"I can only stay here for a week at most. If I can't find anyone to work with, I'll go to South Korea to check it out..."

When you think like this,
His eyes were vacant as he stared at the ATV International News Channel on television.

"Vitasoy has urgently recalled a large number of similar products from the market due to customer complaints that its beverages have an off-flavor similar to kerosene. This incident has raised concerns among many citizens about food safety. Relevant departments have intervened in the investigation, and Vitasoy has promised to thoroughly investigate the cause and give consumers an explanation..."

"Now, please watch the international news..."

On October 16, a massive "million-person march" took place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Numerous African Americans from across the country gathered to call for greater unity within the African American community and a united fight against deep-seated injustices in society.

(Photo: A march of millions)
Upon seeing this, Tax Master Wan frowned immediately.

As a white man born and raised in the United States, he had absolutely no liking for these black people.

Of course, they also don't have a good impression of Chinese people.

The last African American riots in Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1991 were caused by the 'unfair' treatment of an African American who was high on drugs by the Los Angeles police and the Los Angeles courts.

This time, there was also a trigger: the abuse of African American youth Thames during a police encounter sparked widespread anger among African Americans.

"According to statistics from non-governmental organizations, the day-long march attracted 80 to 100 million participants, creating a spectacular scene and drawing widespread attention to racial equality issues across the United States."

"Bang~~~"

Tax Lord Wan slammed his fist on the table.

"It's all the media's fault!"

Ring ring ring~~~~~
The phone rang at that moment.

Tax Master Wan quickly answered the phone.

Goddaughter: "Mr. Donald, my godfather has found a business partner who is very interested in you. He would like to have dinner with you tomorrow night at 19 p.m. If that's convenient, I wonder."

Upon hearing this, the tax collector quickly replied, "Convenient, of course it's convenient!"

……

……

at night,

Shangri-La Hotel, Chinese restaurant, private dining room.

"This is Mr. Kwan, the richest man in Hong Kong!"

"This is Mr. Donald, a real estate tycoon from New York, the economic center of the United States."

Three parties,
Zheng Daheng, goddaughter...

Guan Zu, Wu Lianqian...

Tax Lord...

Zheng Daheng acted as an intermediary, introducing the two parties.

"Hong Kong's richest man?"

Upon hearing this, the tax collector became excited; a sucker had arrived.

However, when Wan Shuiye looked at Guan Zu's young face, he was stunned. So young and yet he was a tycoon?
They immediately became cautious.

Guan Zu laughed heartily: "Hahaha~~~ Mr. Donald, it's a great honor to see you..."

The tax collector, always one to speak to anyone, became enthusiastic: "Hahaha~~~ Mr. Guan, it's an honor to meet you..."

A warm handshake!

Shake hands firmly!

Tax Lord praised him, saying, "I have always admired Chinese culture. It is said that China is a land of outstanding people and talents. Meeting Mr. Kwan today has confirmed this. Mr. Kwan has become the richest man in Hong Kong at such a young age. It is truly admirable!"

Guan Zu flattered, "I've heard that Mr. Donald took over his father's company at only 25 years old, making sweeping changes and causing the company to grow rapidly... Compared to Mr. Donald, I'm nothing..."

Tax Commissioner Wang praised: "We Americans have always admired the strong, and I believe that our cooperation will not only make New York's skyline even more dazzling!"

Both sides engaged in a three-minute awkward boasting session.

Although everyone knew it was fake, the atmosphere became lively nonetheless.

The goddaughter coughed and said, "It's a rare and fortunate thing that Mr. Guan and Mr. Donald hit it off so well. Why don't we have tea instead of wine to wish for our early success in achieving a win-win situation?"

Tax Master Wan has already raised his teacup: "Well said! This cup is a toast to America's pioneering spirit, and also to China's millennia-old wisdom!"

"Wait!"

Guan Zu wouldn't let go of this opportunity to play tricks on the Tax Lord so easily.

He knew that the Tax Master had a habit—he didn't smoke or drink!

There will definitely be no chance in the future, but in this situation...

If I don't make things difficult for you, Donald, I'd be letting down all those netizens from my past life!

Zheng Daheng, his goddaughter, and the tax collector looked at Guan Zu.

Guan Zu smiled and said, "Mr. Donald just mentioned that he has always admired Chinese culture. In our Chinese culture, there is a drinking culture. How can a banquet be without wine? Using tea instead of wine cannot show our sincerity as the host."

In fact, the drinking culture at banquets most likely originated from the Soviet Union, and Guan Zu himself did not like it, nor was it popular within the Five Star Group.

However, that doesn't stop Guan Zu from ripping off the tax collector.

Guan Zu raised his glass with a smile.

"Come on, drink!"

Tax Lord: "…………"

His face turned green!
