Hong Kong Movies: I am Hongxing, what the hell is the intelligence king?

Chapter 307 The Differences between the East and the West (asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)

"Are you crazy?"

"Is the rich man someone you and I can touch?"

Cunningham asked George, who was puzzled.

"General, you are the highest military commander of Ansa stationed in Hong Kong. There is no need to be so afraid of a wealthy man, right?"

Cunningham laughed:
"I'm afraid?"

George thought he was going to say something bold, but Cunningham just said,
"I'm not afraid!"

"I'm so scared to death!"

"Boy, you really don't know how dangerous the world is!"

George was choked to death.

Cunningham said seriously:

"Look, I admire your ambition, especially your ambition to do whatever it takes to make money."

"But you have to know that not everyone can mess with you."

“The foundation of the Western world is the rich.”

"And the rich man is considered a wealthy man even on Ansaben Island!"

"If you want to deal with him, you have to worry about his counterattack!"

George remained silent.

Cunningham sneered:

"Don't think he's just a local from Hong Kong. He actually has someone behind him."

George looked up in surprise:
"how is this possible?"

Cunningham doesn't mind telling the younger generation about the truth of life.

"impossible?"

"Do you know what the market value of the major conglomerates of the tycoon was at that time?"

"It's only 600 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Of course, 600 million in that era is more than 1 billion pounds in this era."

"But do you know how much he spent on buying this Angsa Capital consortium?"

"One hundred and sixty million... Hong Kong dollars!"

George lost his voice and said:
"Are those consortiums blind?"

"It was sold for just 600 million?"

Cunningham said with a smile:

"I'm not finished yet."

"This 600 million was a loan from HSBC at the time."

George was stunned:

"Doesn't that mean that he got the huge Ansa Group for free without spending a penny?"
Cunningham spread his hands:

"That's it."

George frowned:

"Why? Isn't this a losing business? Are there any businessmen like this in the world?"

Cunningham laughed:
"You're right. In this world, there are people who do business that will get them killed, but no one will do business that will make them lose money."

"The reason is very simple. The wealthy have passed the test. They are our own people in Angsa."

George was speechless for a moment.

Cunningham shrugged.

"You must trust the judgment of the big capitalists. Their sense of smell is much sharper than ours."

"In the 60s, they had already determined that Hong Kong would return to China."

"So since then, Hong Kong has experienced several stock market crashes, which were all times when Angola's capital fled."

"After Mrs Thatcher fell down in the City Hall, almost all Anglo-Saxon capital concluded that Hong Kong's return to China had become a permanent residence."

“No matter who comes to power, this fact cannot be changed.”

“So from that moment on, we started preparing.”

"You also know that we in Angsa have faced this situation too many times, so we have our own traditions."

George nodded with difficulty:

"Yes, I know."

"When the empire disintegrates, we always make preparations in the hope that one day we can take it back."

Cunningham praised:

“Yes, this is our traditional skill.”

"It is our usual practice to keep a backup plan."

"Then the question is, what is the key back-up plan?"

"Is it the demarcation of borders? Is it the various systems? Or something else?"

George thought about it carefully, and suddenly an idea came to him.
"It's human!"

Cunningham clapped his hands and said:

"You are really smart. You understand it immediately."

“It’s all about people.”

"Only those who are Angsa at heart will cooperate with our future actions."

"Everything else, the system and stuff, is fake."

“Only people are real.”

“This also applies to Hong Kong.”

"Regarding the Xiangjiang negotiations, have you ever heard of a famous national policy?"

George listened and said:
"Appreciate further details."

Cunningham said calmly:

“Sovereignty in exchange for governance.”

George nodded repeatedly:

"I've heard of it. That was the advice of HSBC's boss."

Cunningham laughed:
“He is the one who identifies the very wealthy.”

George gasped.

The HSBC boss mentioned by the two people can influence the decision-making of the cabinet and is definitely a big shot.

I never expected that he was the one behind the tycoon.

Cunningham admired George very much. There were very few young people who were so flexible and adaptable nowadays.

However, it is good to understand more principles.

George frowned and said:
"With such a big shot behind him, why would the tycoon seek the advice of Grand Duke Andre?"

"And you're willing to pay a huge sum of money to buy him?"

Cunningham was stunned.

Yes.

Why would the tycoon, who clearly has a powerful figure like Mr. Shen of HSBC behind him, spend a huge sum of money to bribe Grand Duke Andre, a guy with a false reputation?

As a Hong Kong native, I don’t understand the danger of having the best of both worlds.

If that person knew that a rich man was being bullied in the Ansa headquarters, would he be able to bear it?
Cunningham couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The corners of George's mouth curled up slightly, but then he retracted it, not letting the other party see it at all.

He knew much more about the rise of the rich than Cunningham.

George is an officer sent by the Military Intelligence Agency. How could he not know the background of the rich man?

However, he owed Lin Feng money. If he wanted to pay it back, who else could he turn to if not catching the biggest fish?
Not to mention that the tycoon is just an Angsa backup plan, even if he is an Angsa businessman, he is still in his grasp now.

Otherwise, how would he pay back the money?

George gave Cunningham enough time to think about the problem without disturbing him at all.

He knew that Cunningham needed time to think slowly.

This was also the time he needed to think.

George needs enough time to guide Cunningham. Yes, Cunningham's thoughts are now under George's silent guidance.

The reputation of Ansa Military Intelligence is not undeserved.

The famous A-CIA is nothing more than a student in front of it.

"Yes, why would the tycoon spare Mr. Shen and go after a loser like Grand Duke Andrei?"

"Unless Mr. Shen is incapable of doing so."

"Or maybe the tycoon has already felt that his wings are strong enough and wants to leave Mr. Shen behind and fly solo!"

Cunningham's eyes grew brighter.

"George, you raise a very good question."

George smiled and said:
"General, I think we don't need to focus on the rich man's background, we just need to look at him."

Cunningham asked with interest:

"Which point?"

George said calmly:
"It depends on which side he's on."

"Does he want to stand on your and my side, or on the side of the Gold Club?"

“That’s the most important question.”

"Unfortunately, after my research, I found that the wealthy are not our friends, but our enemies."

Cunningham fell silent again.

George duly pulled out his cigar, trimmed it, and lit it for Cunningham.

Cunningham was slightly stunned:
"Cuban cigars? Top-quality ones for a hundred dollars a pop."

"You are quite good at enjoying life."

George tells the truth:

"I come to the general's place, so I have to bring some goodies to show off my skills."

Cunningham laughed.

"Now I kind of like you, kid."

George shook his head secretly.

In fact, he only developed this hobby today.

He was deeply impressed by Lin Feng’s dominance yesterday.

George never thought that a person's domineering power could reach this level.

Especially when Lin Feng was smoking a cigar, he looked particularly cool.

Unconsciously, he imitated Lin Feng.

To be honest, a cigar at one hundred dollars is still a bit too expensive. Even George felt a little painful to buy it.

But after hearing General Cunningham's praise, George immediately felt that the cigar was worth buying.

Cunningham smoked a cigar and thought deeply.

After exhaling a circle of smoke heavily, he said:
"you're right."

"The rich are not our friends."

"In Ansa, if someone is not our friend, then he is our enemy."

"We can attack him."

"but……"

Cunningham was quite concerned.

“That’s a very rich man!”

"If you really attack him, have you thought about the terrible consequences?"

George was overjoyed:

"General, now that you have made up your mind, we can study how to deal with the Golden Club and the Rich Man."

Cunningham was speechless:
"Didn't you understand what I just said?"

"The other party is a wealthy man!" George didn't care at all:
"General, you have been in Hong Kong for so long, why don't you understand the characteristics of these businessmen?"

"They have always been treated as New Year pigs."

"The government is short of money. They can get everything by killing one."

Cunningham almost dropped his cigar in shock.

George said seriously:
"General, I'm not bragging, nor am I joking."

“It’s true that the Western world is dominated by rich people, but this is the Eastern world.”

“Rich people are not the best.”

"The best people are always officials!"

"You don't have to think that the rich are so powerful."

Cunningham was both angry and amused:
"I admire your audacity, but I am surprised at your ignorance."

"You don't understand the power of the rich. As long as you have money, the Duke of the Empire can buy anything."

"As long as you have money, it's easy to nominate the right person to enter Downing Street."

"And you tell me that the rich aren't scary?"

"He is a rich man!"

George explained helplessly:

"I agree with you. Yes, this is true in the Western world."

"But this is not the Western world, but the Eastern world."

"Let me tell you what happened to the rich man."

"He gave Archduke Andrew 50 million pounds in bribes, but unfortunately, due to the attack on Archduke Andrew, the money was wasted."

"The rich man didn't even hum."

Cunningham disagrees:
"Rich people also have to save face, they won't openly defy the law."

George smiled and nodded:

"You are right. Therefore, the case file of Grand Duke Andre has been collected by the Security Bureau."

"Guess who's doing the hard work?"

Cunningham sneered:

"Apart from our wealthy man, who else can make the Security Bureau do this kind of thing?"

One of the three giants of the Golden Club is the deputy director of the Security Bureau.

No wonder it has such a great influence!
"George, this also proves the power of the rich man. It will not be easy for us to deal with him."

Cunningham took the opportunity to say.

It is a good thing for young people to be ambitious, but being too ambitious is not a good thing.

Cunningham really has high hopes for George, and doesn't want such a nice guy to disappear.

George smiled slightly:
"General, the East and the West are different."

"Rich people may not be so scary."

"There is one more thing, also about the rich man."

"There is a big thief in Hong Kong named Zhuo Ziqiang."

"Have you ever heard of this man?"

I didn't expect Cunningham had actually heard of it:
"I remember the Attorney General's Office accused him of robbing a money transport truck, which contained HK$100 million in cash."

"Later, during the court debate, he was released due to insufficient evidence."

"This guy was outside the court, raising his hands and shouting the victory of freedom."

"The media was quite lively for a while."

"It's said that this is a victory for the little guy."

"is it him?"

"Is he a thief?"

George smiled and said:

"Yes, he is a great thief."

"He committed two crimes not long ago."

"One is to extort 1.4 billion Hong Kong dollars from a wealthy man."

"The other one was extorting 800 million Hong Kong dollars from the second richest man."

what?
Cunningham looked at George in disbelief:

"Really?"

George smiled and nodded:

"Yes, really."

Cunningham was puzzled:

"The rich man just lets this guy live like this?"

George shrugged.

"It takes a thousand days to be a thief, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"The rich man is not a military leader, and he doesn't have any powerful forces under him. How can he deal with Zhuo Ziqiang?"

"What if someone wants to fight him to the death? What can he do?"

Cunningham was confused:
"Are you lying to me?"

"That joke is not funny at all."

"In the West, if any idiot dared to extort money from a rich person, he would be beaten to a pulp."

"When he was cremated, three pounds of bullet casings would have burned out!"

"The rich man just endured it like this?"

George sighed:

"This is a fact."

"General, this is the difference between the East and the West."

“In the Eastern world, it is never the rich who hold power.”

"The most honorable people will not be rich people, but government officials."

"Rich people are just decorations, nice to look at. But if you cross the line, you should be killed."

"New Year Pig!"

"People in the East buy a piglet in the spring and raise it. By the time of the New Year, it weighs two or three hundred kilograms."

"We kill the pigs at this time, and everyone has a good pig-killing dinner to celebrate the New Year."

Cunningham's frown gradually relaxed:
“I love killing the New Year pig!”

George laughed:

"I would also like."

"To be honest, I quite like Eastern wisdom."

Cunningham suddenly asked again:

"Is there really no news about Zhuo Ziqiang?"

"Could it be a blindfold put out by the rich man?"

This time it was George's turn to hesitate.
"Before the Monopoly contacted the Gold Club, I just confirmed that there were no problems on either side."

"Because Zhuo Ziqiang also extorted another 800 million Hong Kong dollars from the second richest man during this period."

“But after the wealthy man came into contact with the Gold Club, I’m not sure anymore.”

"The Gold Club is not your average criminal group."

"Political, business, police and corruption all have their influence."

"They even extended their tentacles to social organizations."

"If I were a wealthy man, I would naturally verify their strength."

Cunningham sighed:

"Then, this legendary thief king Zhuo Ziqiang should be gone."

George also sighed:

“That should be it!”

Both of them understood that if two originally unrelated groups wanted to cooperate, they would naturally have to conduct some testing.

The Golden Club’s appeal is simple: to make money.

But the rich have plenty of money.

What about the super-rich? He is never a philanthropist.

There is only one way to gain his recognition, and that is to let him see the strength of the Golden Club.

Here comes the problem.

What conditions will the rich man put forward?

After much thought, the only one who can be stronger is the Hong Kong thief king Zhuo Ziqiang!
In order to climb up to the rich man's high branch, the Golden Club had to get rid of that guy at all costs.

Therefore, their judgments are consistent.

Zhuo Ziqiang’s legend ends here!
Cunningham stroked his chin:
"We cannot allow these two groups to continue to come into contact."

"If they really reach a cooperation, there will be no share of Hong Kong for us."

George nodded slightly:

"Yes!"

"It's really not our job to publicly interfere in these matters."

“We have to find white gloves.”

Cunningham immediately said:

"Hurry up and don't delay!"

George nodded solemnly:

"I understand."

Cunningham thought for a moment:

"What do you say? I lead the troops to directly invite the rich man over?"

George was startled and stared at Cunningham in amazement:
"General, you are kidding, right?"

Cunningham snorted coldly:

“Since I know there are differences between Eastern and Western traditions, what do I care?”

"He is a wealthy man who actually gave 50 million pounds to that loser Archduke Andre. Am I not as good as that guy?"

"I get angry when I mention this."

"Just for this reason, I will take him to the military camp, and even though he is rich, he will have to pay the money obediently."

George was sweating profusely, he hadn't expected Cunningham to be so wild, money really can make people crazy.

"General, let's take a long-term view."

"It's a good idea to do this, but the problem is, once we do this, we have to make the rich man disappear completely."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to report to the higher-ups."

"Moreover, over the years, the rich man has a lot of connections in the Ansa headquarters. If we fail to take care of them properly, it will affect the glory of the general's family."

Cunningham was stunned and said helplessly:
"That's true. If it weren't for the honor of my family, I would have started selling arms myself long ago."

George did not dare to say a word.

Cunningham is a nobleman, but he is not. He is just a nobody.

Cunningham dared to act recklessly because he had a huge family backing him up.

If he dares to do so, he will definitely go to Victoria Harbour to play in the water!
The two are simply not on the same dimension.

Cunningham is gearing up:
"What's your plan?"

George smiled bitterly and said:
"I had a plan in mind, but you scared me, General!"

Cunningham said disdainfully:

"Then I'll give you three days to make a good plan, otherwise, I'll do it myself!"
