Hong Kong Film: Short mules have no future, I am in charge of Hong Kong

Chapter 166 There are too many opportunities. It depends on whether we can seize them.

After the banquet, Lu Dongpi's words were still ringing in his ears, and he was also thinking about the next step in the game. The boxing match plan was grand, but to truly implement it, the coordination of resources, manpower and venues was an unavoidable problem.

The morning breeze blew across the windowsill, and his phone rang. It was an unsaved number. He picked up the phone, and after the call was connected, a familiar but slightly anxious voice came from the other end.

"Brother Ze, it's me, Blind Snake."

"Blind snake?" Su Hanze frowned slightly, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, "How dare you look for me?"

There was a cough from the other end of the phone, and Blind Snake whispered, "Brother Ze, I'm not here to cause trouble. This time I really have something important to tell you. Trust me for once, this will be of great use to you!"

Su Hanze hesitated for a moment, and said in a low and somewhat cold voice: "If it doesn't work, you know the consequences."

Blind Snake nodded repeatedly, and then told the news one by one. He mentioned that some restless forces in Haojiang were secretly gathering recently, and seemed to want to use the influence of the gambling king to make a big move, and the supporters behind these forces actually had some connection with Su Hanze in the past.

After hanging up the phone, Su Hanze fell into deep thought. He knew that Blind Snake, who was a man of the times, would not offer his kindness for no reason. Since he took the initiative to offer the information, there must be a deeper meaning behind this clue.

"Master Su!" he suddenly shouted, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

Master Su walked in rubbing his sleepy eyes. After hearing Su Hanze's brief account of the incident, he nodded and said, "Brother Ze, these people are playing tricks. What should we do about it?"

"Don't rush into it yet. Blind Snake's words still need to be verified." Su Hanze sneered, "However, this incident may allow us to take another step forward."

He raised his hand and dialed a number. After the call was connected, Han Bin's steady voice came from the other end: "Xiao Ze, you called so early, is there something wrong?"

"Brother-in-law, I need your help." Su Hanze said straight to the point.

When Han Bin heard the situation, he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Come to my place in the evening and we'll talk about it in detail."

After hanging up the phone, Su Hanze stretched himself, seemingly casually, but his eyes revealed a bit of sharpness. He knew that many people were watching his every move, and this was exactly the situation he liked the most - everyone was watching, but the final winner could only be him.

At night, Su Hanze came to Han Bin's office in Kwai Tsing. Han Bin was sitting behind his desk with a cup of hot tea in front of him. Seeing Su Hanze coming in, he put down the cup and nodded: "Go ahead, what's the matter?"

Su Hanze roughly recounted the information provided by Blind Snake. Han Bin frowned slightly after listening, and then sneered: "These people really don't know their place. How can they get involved in the gambling king's territory?"

"Brother-in-law, this matter is not simple." Su Hanze said in a deep voice, "Their target is not only the gambling king's territory, but they want to use this opportunity to shake the rules of Haojiang."

Han Bin's eyes darkened and he nodded, "What are you going to do?"

Su Hanze raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Drain the firewood from under the cauldron. Since these people dare to come, it means they have something to rely on. What I have to do is to make their reliance become a burden."

Han Bin smiled when he heard this: "As expected, you are Thirteenth Sister's younger brother, you are very courageous. I have some connections that can help you, but you have to be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself."

Su Hanze nodded: "Don't worry, brother-in-law. I know what's going on."

After leaving Han Bin's office, Su Hanze felt a gust of night wind blowing on his face. He stood on the side of the road, looking at the lights on the street, and a big picture was already outlined in his mind.

The next day, Su Hanze called together several of his capable men and held a small meeting in a private room at the Golden Dragon Hotel. Master Su was the first to arrive, followed by A Bing, A Wei and others. After everyone arrived, Su Hanze shared the news provided by Blind Snake and then asked, "What do you think?"

A Bing frowned and spoke first: "Brother Ze, these people want to cause trouble, we might as well take action as soon as possible to avoid more trouble later."

A Wei shook his head: "Don't worry, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this. If we act rashly, we might fall into a trap."

Su Hanze nodded: "Awei is right. What we need to do now is not to fight them head-on, but to find their weaknesses and kill them with one blow."

In the following time, Su Hanze assigned the tasks one by one, and everyone had their own goals and responsibilities. He knew that in order to gain the upper hand in this game, he had to execute the plan accurately and quickly.

A few days later, Su Hanze received a report from Master Su, and the intelligence provided by Blind Snake was indeed true, and those forces had begun to plan their actions in secret. At the same time, Su Hanze also received support from Han Bin and successfully obtained some key resources.

This undercurrent game gradually kicked off under the impetus of Su Hanze. Every step was taken carefully, and every decision was like a move on the chessboard. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.

Su Hanze stood in front of the hotel window, looking at the Haojiang River in the distance, which was already shrouded in the night, but his thoughts stayed in the banquet hall that had just ended. The first wife's "yes" seemed simple, but the weight of it was enough to temporarily let him down a little. This was not only the beginning of a cooperation, but also his first step to officially set foot in the Haojiang business circle, and this step was taken very solidly.

Master Su sat at the side, holding a cigar he had brought back from the banquet, and tried to light it several times but failed. He looked up at Su Hanze and spoke cautiously, "Brother Ze, do you think this boxing match can really be successful?"

Su Hanze turned around, smiled, lit his cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke: "It's not about whether we can do it, but whether we must do it. There are too many opportunities in Haojiang. It depends on whether we can seize them."

Master Su sighed: "Brother Ze, you are really brave. I have only done minor things for others before, how dare I think of such a big event."

Su Hanze patted his shoulder and said, "To do great things, courage is the first step. Just follow me, don't be afraid, walk steadily, I won't let you fall."

The streets outside the window were bustling with traffic, and the nightlife had just begun. The charm of Haojiang was fully revealed in the night. Su Hanze walked away from the window, picked up the notebook on the table, and quickly wrote down the details of the plan that had just flashed through his mind.

The next morning, Su Hanze received a call from Lu Dongpi, who said with a bit of excitement, "Brother Ze, I asked someone to help keep an eye out for it last night. It seems that there is a way to solve the venue problem you mentioned." A hint of anticipation flashed in Su Hanze's eyes, "Tell me about it."

Lu Dongpi spoke quickly: "There's another piece of land vacated in the new reclamation area, which is larger than the one I mentioned last night. Although it hasn't been officially released yet, I heard that it's been targeted by a few big guys."

Su Hanze raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Since the big guys are targeting us, let's take the lead."

"Brother Ze, this is not easy. These people have powerful forces behind them."

Su Hanze sneered: "In Haojiang, there is no force that cannot be shaken. The key is to see the method."

After hanging up the phone, he contacted Han Bin directly and briefly explained the matter. Han Bin pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Ze, this is not difficult. I happen to have a friend in the Planning Bureau. Come over and I'll take you to meet him."

In the afternoon, Su Hanze showed up at Han Bin's office as scheduled. Han Bin took him to a private club and met the friend from the Planning Bureau. After a few drinks, the atmosphere gradually relaxed, and the man smiled and said, "The brother introduced by Han Bin is really courageous. There are indeed several families who want the land you are interested in, but it is not time to make a decision yet. If you have a special purpose, you can submit a project proposal in advance, maybe it will get the attention of the higher-ups."

Su Hanze's eyes flashed with shrewdness: "Thank you for your advice, brother. My project proposal is almost ready and will be delivered to you tomorrow."

The other party waved his hand and said, "I will definitely try my best to help Han Bin's people. But you have to understand that the distribution of interests in Haojiang is never simple."

After returning to the hotel, Su Hanze immediately gathered people to perfect the details of the proposal. He knew that this cooperation was not only to fight for a piece of land, but also to let more people know his strength and courage.

A few days later, he personally submitted the prepared proposal to the Planning Bureau. The proposal described in detail the design concept of the boxing venue, its economic benefits, and its role in promoting the tourism industry in Haojiang. Su Hanze knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Haojiang, he had to learn to play the emotional and economic cards.

Soon after the proposal was submitted, the news spread. The bigwigs in Haojiang were discussing it. Some thought Su Hanze was too young and wanted to rise to the top overnight; others began to seriously consider the possibility of this boxing match. At the same time, the intelligence of Blind Snake gradually surfaced, and the forces involved became more and more complicated.

Su Hanze did not rush to make a move, but turned his attention to the bigger chessboard. He knew that only by stabilizing the situation could he win more chips in future games. The support of the first wife gradually made him famous in Haojiang, and the secret help of Han Bin and other forces bought him more time and resources.

In the dead of night, Su Hanze sat alone in front of the window, replaying everything that had happened in the past few days in his mind. He knew that the real challenge had just begun, and he was ready.

A week later, he received an official notice from the Planning Bureau that his proposal had been preliminarily approved. This news caused quite a stir in Haojiang. Some people took a new look at Su Hanze, while others began to secretly guard against him.

The boxing match plan officially entered the preparation stage. Su Hanze personally selected the team, designed the venue layout, and planned the match process. He wanted to ensure that every link was done to the extreme, because he knew that this was not just a business attempt, but also a key step for him to gain a foothold in Haojiang.

During the preparations, Blind Snake contacted Su Hanze again and brought more information about those secret forces. Su Hanze summarized this information and discussed countermeasures with Han Bin and Lu Dongpi. They decided to keep quiet for the time being and wait until the other side revealed more flaws before counterattacking.

The publicity for the boxing match gradually spread, and Su Hanze used He Qun's connections to spread the news to every corner of Haojiang. Soon, not only Haojiang, but also the business circles in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia began to pay attention to this upcoming event.

A month later, the groundbreaking ceremony of the boxing venue was held. On that day, many celebrities and bigwigs from Haojiang came to congratulate, and the scene was grand and warm. Su Hanze stood on the stage, facing many flashing lights, with a calm expression. He knew that this was not only the beginning of a project, but also the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

In the evening, when Han Bin was drinking alone with him, he smiled and said, "Xiao Ze, you really impressed me this time. However, you have to remember that the road ahead is long and if you are not careful, you may lose everything."

Su Hanze raised his glass with a determined look in his eyes: "Brother-in-law, I have never thought of retreating. I will turn this world of Haojiang upside down!"

That night after the groundbreaking ceremony, Su Hanze stood alone on the open space where the stadium was located. As the evening breeze blew, he lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and looked at the brightly lit city in the distance. He knew that this was a beginning, a beginning that could shake up the entire Haojiang landscape, but at the same time, it was also an invisible game with undercurrents surging, and if he was not careful, he might lose everything.

"Brother Ze." Master Su's voice came from behind. He walked forward quickly, holding a document that had just been sent from Hong Kong Island. "These are the draft contracts sent over there, a preliminary agreement on sponsorship cooperation."

Su Hanze took the document, flipped through a few pages, smiled and shook his head: "It seems that the news spread quickly. The foundation has just been laid, and those people in Hong Kong Island can't help it."

“Brother Ze, I heard that there are several big money sponsors who are eyeing the broadcasting rights for the boxing match.” Master Su came closer and spoke in a low voice.

Su Hanze took a sip of his cigarette, his eyes showing a hint of calmness: "Of course they like it. This is not an ordinary gambling project. It is exciting, direct, and can skirt the rules. This kind of thing is most likely to make the audience addicted. The key is the brand of Haojiang. As long as it can create influence, there will be countless areas that can be extended in the future."

Master Su nodded, but still a little worried: "It's okay, Brother Ze, those people in Hong Kong are not easy to deal with. Their appetite may be bigger than we thought."

"It doesn't matter if they have a big appetite." Su Hanze smiled and blew out a puff of smoke. "The key is to see how much they are willing to pay. If they offer enough chips, I don't mind giving them a share."

Master Su lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "What about the information provided by Blind Snake? Should we continue to keep an eye on those who want to cause trouble, or should we take direct action?"

"What's the hurry?" Su Hanze put out his cigarette, his eyes sharp. "If we act now, it will easily alert the enemy. Wait until their actions reveal more flaws, and then we will catch them all in one fell swoop. The most important thing now is to ensure that the construction of the venue goes smoothly, and we can't let anyone disrupt it."

Master Su nodded and said nothing more.

A few days later, Su Hanze was invited to a private party organized by He Qun. The party gathered many wealthy businessmen and celebrities from Macao and Hong Kong Island, and the scene was luxurious and lively. Su Hanze was dressed in a black suit, low-key but not without aura, and attracted a lot of attention when he walked into the party.

He Qun saw him from afar and waved: "Boss Su, you've come just in time. I was just about to introduce you to some important friends."

Su Hanze smiled and followed He Qun to a group of people who were chatting and laughing. He was soon introduced to several big money men in Hong Kong Island, including Mr. Chen, who had great influence in the media industry. After a few drinks, Mr. Chen took the initiative to approach Su Hanze and said tentatively: "Boss Su, I heard about the boxing match. It's a good idea. However, for such a large project, I'm afraid that relying solely on the resources of Haojiang is not enough, right?"
