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

Chapter 256 The new “check-in holy place”!
The brothers were so excited that their movements became faster. The boxing gym in the distance was still brightly lit, and the sound of boxing could be heard occasionally. Although the boxing gym has been transformed, the spirit of "making a name for Xiwan" has never changed.

In a high-end club in Central, Su Hanze was sitting at a round conference table with a detailed budget for the West Bay complex in front of him. He listened to the team's report, nodding from time to time, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Boss Su, according to the current progress, the project is expected to complete the first phase of the main project within three months. However, the budget in the meantime may need to be increased." The financial manager pushed his glasses and said cautiously.

Su Hanze put down the documents in his hand and smiled: "Budget is not a problem, the key is efficiency. Xiwan Complex is not only the future of Xiwan, but also the signboard of Hong Kong Island. Three months is too slow, I want to see results within two months."

The financial manager was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Boss Su, I will try my best to coordinate the funds. However, I heard that Young Master Jin seems to be active again recently, what do you think..."

"Mr. Jin?" Su Hanze sneered, his eyes darkening. "He is just a stray dog ​​now, and can't make any waves. Even if he wants to make trouble, we have to see if he has the ability."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became quiet, and no one dared to say anything. Su Hanze stood up, walked to the French window, looked at the neon lights outside the window, and raised his mouth slightly: "Don't worry, everyone. No one can beat us in this game of chess."

At the same time, in a small bar in Mong Kok, Jin Shao was sitting at the bar with a gloomy face, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand. Since he lost control of Xiwan, he seemed to have aged ten years, and his brows were full of fatigue.

Xiao Tan stood aside and advised carefully: "Master, Su Hanze has been very popular recently. We can't have a head-on conflict now. However, I heard that he is rushing to finish the work, and the capital chain may be a little tight. Do you want to..."

Young Master Jin raised his head and glared at him, his voice hoarse: "Why, do you want me to cause trouble?"

Xiao Tan quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, we can give him a little 'surprise' from the side, so that his funding chain is cut off, and his project will naturally fail."

Jin Shao narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, let's give it a try. Isn't Su Hanze very capable? Let's see if he can withstand this move."

A few days later, at the construction site in Xiwan, while directing the workers to move bricks, Ah Liu received a call from Xiaolong, and his face suddenly darkened. "What? Our supplier suddenly raised the price? This is impossible. We just signed the contract two days ago, how could it change so suddenly?"

Xiaolong on the other end of the phone also looked depressed: "I find it strange too. These suppliers seem to be acting in unison. All our materials are stuck."

Ah Liu was so anxious that he was spinning around: "We need to tell Boss Su about this right away!"

When Su Hanze heard the news, his face was not panicked at all. He sat in the office, drinking tea slowly, listening to Xiaolong and Ah Liu's reports, and finally said calmly: "Don't panic, this kind of thing is just a small fight."

Xiaolong frowned and said, "Boss Su, Young Master Jin is obviously causing trouble on purpose this time. Should we…"

"No hurry." Su Hanze put down the teacup, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "He wants to make trouble, right? Then let him be busy for a while. I want to see how long he can hold on.

A few days later, big news suddenly came out of the Hong Kong stock market: the stock price of a company called "Haifeng Building Materials" suddenly soared, and this company was one of the largest material suppliers of the Xiwan Complex.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was speculating whether the company had received some big orders, which led to such performance.

But behind this, the real "operator" is Lin Qiming.

Lin Qiming sat in his office, looking at the rising curve on the computer screen, with a smug smile on his face. His cell phone rang, it was Xia Yan's call.

"Mr. Lin, well done." Xia Yan's voice was filled with a hint of laughter. "Now Young Master Jin is in complete chaos. He thought he could get hold of Su Hanze's materials, but he didn't know that the company he made famous was actually backed by us."

Lin Qiming smiled: "Miss Xia, next, let's see how Su Hanze will respond to this move."

Xia Yan laughed softly: "He will return it beautifully. What we have to do now is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers to see who has the last laugh."

A few days later, at the boxing gym, Ah Liu ran in excitedly with a stack of documents: "Boss Su, good news! Our material problem has been solved, and the supplier has taken the initiative to reduce the price! In addition, several new suppliers have taken the initiative to come to us and are willing to cooperate with us at a lower price!"

Su Hanze smiled slightly and said calmly, "I've said it before, Young Master Jin's tricks are not worth mentioning."

Ah Liu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "Boss Su, I really don't understand. We didn't do anything, how come the situation suddenly turned around?"

Su Hanze stood up, walked to the window, put his hands in his pockets, and said calmly: "Sometimes, doing nothing is the best strategy. The more anxious the enemy is, the more we must remain calm. Remember, anxious people are always the most likely to make mistakes."

Ah Liu nodded, not quite understanding, but in his heart he admired Su Hanze even more. He felt that Boss Su was not only a smart man, but also a "magician" who could see through everything.

At this time, Young Master Jin smashed the wine glass in his hand. He stared at the stock market news on his phone, his face livid with anger: "Damn it, Lin Qiming! It turns out he was behind this! These bastards teamed up to trick me!"

Xiao Tan stood aside, not daring to speak. He knew in his heart that Young Master Jin had been completely screwed this time. He was no longer qualified to participate in Xiwan's situation.

The tower cranes at the construction site were rumbling and spinning, the music in the bar was shaking the glass, street vendors were hawking their wares, and the air was filled with the smell of oil smoke, perfume, and freshly cooked snacks.

Upstairs in the boxing gym, Ah Liu rushed into Su Hanze's office with a grimace on his face, grabbing a colorful flyer, and said excitedly, "Boss Su! Look at this! Those guys in Dongwan actually copied our idea and set up the 'Dongwan Night Market Carnival'! Isn't it obvious that they want to steal our business?"

Su Hanze looked up and glanced at the flyer. The night market stalls on the picture were brightly lit and looked very real. He put down the teacup in his hand and raised a meaningful smile: "Dongwan Night Market Carnival? Interesting."

Ah Liu was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Boss Su, how can this be 'interesting'? We have just finally made Xiwan famous, and they want to take a piece of the pie! This is clearly bullying us!" Su Hanze waved his hands and said calmly: "Don't worry, no matter how similar it is, it's just a fake. Wait for them to make a fuss for a few days, and then we will directly hold a 'Hong Kong Food Carnival'. One food carnival will be worth ten of theirs!"

Ah Liu was stunned: "Hong Kong Food Carnival?"

Su Hanze smiled and pointed at the table. "We'll double the number of stalls in Xiwan, upgrade the lighting, and bring all the latest trends here. Not only food and drinks, but also street performances, e-sports live broadcasts, and online celebrity card games. When the time comes, we'll get people from Dongwan to come here to spend money, and their night market will collapse on its own."

Ah Liu's eyes lit up instantly, like a child who got a new toy: "Boss Su is better! I'll arrange it right away!"

Su Hanze nodded and added, "Also, don't forget to invite Miss Xia and her celebrity friends. The food carnival must not only be delicious, but also beautiful."

When Xia Yan received the call, she was drinking afternoon tea in a luxurious club in Central. She was wearing a bright yellow dress today, leaning on the sofa by the window, looking lazy and elegant.

After the call, she smiled like a fox, took a sip of tea, and then said to Lin Qiming who was sitting opposite: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Su from Xiwan is going to hold a 'Hong Kong Food Carnival' and specially invited me to go. What do you think?"

Lin Qiming put down the red wine glass in his hand, with his usual shrewd smile on his face: "Ms. Xia, Su Hanze's 'Food Carnival' is ostensibly a business, but in fact it is a trap. Don't forget that he is now the spokesperson for Xiwan. Your appearance is an endorsement for him."

Xia Yan smiled and raised her eyebrows: "So what do you think, should I go or not?"

Lin Qiming picked up the wine glass and gently shook the liquid in the glass: "If it were me, I would go. After all, it is always more interesting to work with smart people than with stupid people."

Xia Yan smiled and looked through the window glass towards Victoria Harbour. She whispered, "What a smart guy... Let's see how far he can go this time."

On the opening night of the "Hong Kong Food Carnival", the night sky of Sai Wan was lit up by gorgeous lights and fireworks. Stalls were neatly lined up on both sides of the main street, colorful lanterns were hung high, and the air was filled with the aroma of grilled skewers, takoyaki and freshly squeezed juice.

Street performers were playing violins and guitars, and a few actors in cartoon costumes were handing out balloons to the crowd. Children were chasing after them and laughing, and the scene was extremely lively.

Xia Yan appeared in front of the main stage in a red dress and high heels, immediately attracting countless eyes.

Following behind her were several well-known movie stars and internet celebrities from Hong Kong Island. Each of them had a big smile on their face, holding various delicacies and taking photos while walking. Behind them was a long line of onlookers.

"Boss Su, this scene is absolutely amazing!" Ah Liu stood at the side of the stage, rubbing his hands excitedly, "Look, those people from Dongwan are all stunned! There are hardly any people going to their night market. All of them are coming here!"

Su Hanze stood behind the stage, looking at the huge crowds of people, but he was not completely relaxed. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the real victory was to make Sai Wan famous beyond Hong Kong Island and become a legend in Southeast Asia.

"Tell the brothers to keep a close eye on the situation. There are so many people here, so don't let anything go wrong." He said calmly, his eyes casually sweeping over Xia Yan who was not far away.

Xia Yan seemed to sense his gaze. She turned around, raised the skewers in her hand at him, and smiled brightly and cunningly.

The boss from Dongwan was drinking beer in the bar, looking as if he had swallowed a fly. His subordinates were indignant: "Boss, Su Hanze is too much of a bully! We worked so hard to run the night market, but he just called it a 'food carnival' and took away all the people! How can we do business in the future?"

The boss of Dongwan slammed the table and said, "How to do business? Go ask Lin Qiming. Isn't he a great man in Hong Kong? Let him teach us how to do it!"

The subordinates didn't dare to say anything, but they couldn't help muttering in their hearts: Even Lin Qiming has been dragged into the water by Su Hanze, who can we rely on?
After the carnival, Sai Wan became a hot spot in Hong Kong Island. For a time, videos and photos of Sai Wan’s food, night markets, and street performances were everywhere, and even international travel websites began to recommend this new “check-in destination”.

In the office of the boxing gym, Ah Liu was reporting to Su Hanze happily: "Boss Su, our event this time has directly boosted consumption around Xiwan. Hotels and restaurants are all full! Even the cargo volume at the dock has increased by 30%! The profit this time is enough for us to hold ten more events!"

Su Hanze smiled faintly: "This is just the beginning. Next, we will cooperate with the tourism companies in Central to package Sai Wan as the 'second business card of Hong Kong Island'. As long as tourists come, money will flow into our pockets continuously."

Ah Liu's blood boiled when he heard this: "Boss Su, you are really awesome! Our Sai Wan will be the face of Hong Kong Island in the future!"

Su Hanze didn't say anything, but just picked up the teacup and looked out the window at the brightly lit streets of Xiwan.

The night breeze from Victoria Harbour carries a damp and salty smell as usual, blowing from Sai Wan to Central, and then from Central into people’s wine glasses, ushering in another lively night for Hong Kong Island.

After the "Hong Kong Food Carnival" in Sai Wan ended, it became the number one focus of Hong Kong Island. Various media and celebrities reported extensively, tourists flocked to it, and the surrounding vendors even had to restock their goods overnight.

At the same time, land and housing prices in the Sai Wan area also began to rise rapidly. The thresholds of small shops that were once half-dead were almost flattened, and some people even fought to grab a lease. Sai Wan, from an inconspicuous corner, has become synonymous with "Hong Kong Island's night economy".

"Boss Su, you have turned Xiwan into a 'money printing machine'!" Ah Liu laughed foolishly while watching the news on his mobile phone, holding a bowl of hot fish ball noodles he had just bought.

"Don't exaggerate." Su Hanze smiled slightly and put down the teacup in his hand, but his eyes showed an indescribable calmness. He knew that this was just the beginning. For a region to prosper for a long time, it does not rely on one event, but on continuous creativity and resources. What he has to do now is to firmly nail Xiwan to the economic chain of the entire Hong Kong Island and make it an existence that cannot be bypassed.

"By the way," Su Hanze turned around and asked casually, "How is the night market in Dongwan?"
