1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 348 Robbers, hostages!
Ever since she came to Hong Kong in the summer and made a plan with Holly and the others, Holly has been paying close attention to the various changes in Japan.

And in May, Japanese officials suddenly tightened their monetary policy.

In May, their Bank Y raised the ultra-low interest rate, which had been maintained for more than two years, from 5%.

Holly was delighted and thought: Here it comes! Xia Tian guessed it right again. Sure enough, their financial situation was in trouble!
It has been two months since Xia came to Hong Kong. They have hundreds of millions of US dollars in assets in Japan and have already been selling them one after another - more than a dozen second-generation people, some of whose families have also contributed part of their money, are joining in the fun.

However, this amount of money is definitely a drop in the bucket in the entire Japanese market and did not attract any attention.

It’s just like the Japanese interest rate hike this time - no one cares about the clarion call of tightening funds.

The sound of the horn was heard by no one amid the din.

This is just the beginning, and Japan will continue in the future.

After five consecutive increases in deposit interest rates, it reached 90% in August 8! At that time, it was completely unbearable!

On the other hand, the shares of ATV were basically secured, with 8.6% of the shares acquired for million.

However, the final announcement will not be made until June.

From now on, Mr. Lin will be the one in charge of ATV.

This person is also very capable. In the original time and space, after he took control of ATV, he made drastic changes and took control of it for more than ten years, and in the end he reaped a lot of rewards.

……

Xia Tian called home again.

On the other end of the phone, Xia Tian's expression was a little serious, "Don't go out recently, try to stay at home..."

"Don't worry, I'll do as you say. We have enough supplies at home, Xiaoxu and Zhang Li have both taken leave, and my shop is also closed... I'll go out when the situation calms down."

Milan also said: "According to what you said, all non-essential friends should be asked to leave temporarily. Don't eat leftovers..."

This is also one of the main reasons for going to Hong Kong in the summer...

After talking about some serious topics, Milan talked about family matters.

I also told them about my friends’ situations one by one.

"By the way, a movie starring Dongfang was recently released!"

"Oh? What's your name?" Xia Tian asked.

"It's called... "Human is the Devil's Nest"!"

Xia Tian thought he had heard wrongly: "What, what nest?!"

"Chichi~"

Milan, Xiaoxu and Zhang Li's laughter came from the other end of the phone. It was obvious that the three of them were listening!
Milan said: "Then come back early, I will treat you to a meal~"

"Puff!" Zhang Guorong, who was pretending to drink water and enjoy the scenery not far away but was actually eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, sprayed out a mouthful of Coke.

Xia Tian covered the microphone with his hand, "A Rong! You are eavesdropping again!"

"Who is eavesdropping? Who is eavesdropping? I'm here to drink water~" After saying that, he ran away.

——Who said the inland areas are more conservative? Or is it you guys who are playing around?!
Xia Tian doesn't even know that he has ruined Yanjing's reputation~
……

Met with Holly again to discuss some matters concerning the Japanese stock market.

The stock market there can still rise, but it will definitely not last this year. So they need to discuss when to exit, as well as some physical assets such as real estate.

Now they have a lot of people following them, and the assets they can leverage are worth hundreds of millions of US dollars. If they withdraw suddenly, they might be noticed.

This meeting was again in a teahouse, and Xia Tian noticed that Holly drove there by herself, in a small Beetle.

Xia Tian advised: "Don't do this. You are a wealthy woman now. You are worth a lot of money. You can't take risks. Hong Kong is not safe now."

Holly Holly didn't care much, "I'm a little ashamed to let you say that Xiangjiang is not safe either!"

She had not yet realized her identity change.

She is no longer the youngest daughter of Mr. Huo, at least not just that anymore. She is now a young female billionaire with considerable energy, who has won many battles and is worth hundreds of millions!

She is one of the few people of the second generation! Even her elder brother is not as famous or popular as her.

Although, according to the underlying rules in Hong Kong, no one will touch rich people, let alone the children of tycoons.

The local gangs also tried to avoid it as much as possible.

But rules are meant to be broken. Local gangs make their livings locally and won't mess with troublemakers.

But many outsiders don’t care about this!

I thought of this two days ago in the summer - I met a new friend, Liu Jialing, at Arong's house two days ago!
She was still a little actress at this time, and she was quite reserved when she was brought here to see all the big stars. It might also be because she was born in the inland. When Xia Tian saw her, he remembered her.

Apart from her husband Liang Caowei, the biggest scandal about her is that she was kidnapped back then...

It seems like next year!

It is said that Black Society invited her to film a movie, but she refused to go, and then they "wanted to make her look bad."

The incident caused quite a stir, and the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry came out to protest.

Many people must have heard about the fact that gangs control the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Movies make money these days, and many organizations with big names in their names all want to make quick money, or transform and whitewash themselves. In short, they are eyeing this piece of fat meat.

People like Liu Dehua, Dabilong, and Zhou Runfa were also threatened and coerced.

If you don’t have someone behind you, you really can’t get by!
It was also because of this Liu Jialing who came from the mainland and is still acting in TVB dramas and is not very famous yet...

Xia Tian thought about the insecurity in Hong Kong during this period.

The "Big Circle Boys" that later became famous in Hong Kong movies are currently the biggest unsafe factor in Hong Kong.

They either came from inland or from abroad. Anyway, they don’t care about anyone or anything and only care about money.

What about gold shops, armored trucks, and wealthy tycoons? You have an AK and I have a rifle. Let's become bigger and stronger and create greater glory!

They act as if they have no tomorrow and dare to use any kind of firepower. It's really dangerous!

Later, there was a saying of the three great thief kings, and they were typical representatives!

It seems that Zhang Ziqiang kidnapped Li Huanggua's son in the past two years. In short, the past two years have been very chaotic.

Otherwise, why would Xia Tian come here, and bring Brother Yong with him? One more person means more care.

Brother Yong is a righteous man, brave and careful, and he is also good at fighting.

However, in the morning, Arong asked Brother Yong to help transport things, so Xia Tian and Holly Li met now.

Xia Tian suggested that Holly increase the number of bodyguards. Although she herself didn't think it was necessary, over the years, she had gotten used to listening to Xia Tian's advice, so she agreed.

However, as expected, an accident is about to happen!
……

Just as Xia Tian and Holly were chatting and discussing in the teahouse, a man wearing sunglasses walked into the gold shop opposite the teahouse, turned around and left.

Soon after, three men wearing masks and stockings and carrying long bags got out of a car and rushed into the gold shop!
…When Xia Tian and Hollyli came down from the teahouse and stood on the street to say goodbye.

Suddenly, two gunshots were heard across the street!

"Bang bang~"

Then there were screams from passers-by!

Xia Tian protected Hollyli and was about to push her back - quickly back to the nearby teahouse.

Then they heard the piercing sound of tires burning on the road, and an old car slammed into the butt of a Beetle not far in front of the two of them!
Three masked robbers wearing stockings came out of the jewelry store, holding rifles in their hands and carrying large bags, and ran towards this side frantically. Gold jewelry was also thrown out of the bags that were not locked!

And a little further around the street, several people in hats appeared, holding small revolvers in their hands and shouting something!
"Pit, pit, pit~"

"Pit, pit, pit~"

Xia Tian also wanted to pull Hollyli away quickly, but the robber who was also wearing a mask in the car that rear-ended the car failed to start the car twice.

Then he got anxious, pulled out a big black star and pointed it at Xia Tian who was not far outside the car window, while shouting, "Boss, the car is broken!"

"Damn it! Fourth Brother, I told you a long time ago not to buy a used car! You didn't listen!"

A robber in stockings raised the charge in his hand and fired three shots in quick succession.

There was another scream over there, as if someone was shot!

The fourth brother, who was wearing a mask and pointing a gun at Xia Tian and the other man, shouted, "Second brother, the car was stolen, not bought!"

As a result, the black stockings boss got mad: "Fuck your grandma, you are still talking nonsense at this time! Let's fight them!"

Then the third brother who hadn't spoken a word shouted in a low voice: "Don't panic! Capture people, capture prisoners, capture hostages! Capture more!"

This guy is smart. He knows that if he captures a hostage at this time, he will make the hat afraid to act rashly. Maybe he can even negotiate some conditions.

But it was not good for Xia Tian and Holly who were pointed at with guns.

Xia Tian glanced around, the gun in his hand swaying slightly, but always pointed at his fourth brother...

No, it's still a bit far. And there are three other spears!
