Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 240-17: Hitting the Vital Point

(Most of the Hongmen poems I wrote are circulated. There are a total of 88 Hongmen secret poems. The correct way to use them requires hand gestures, otherwise you will be a fake. Although it won’t be a big deal now, there are even people who deliberately do bad things and will recognize you in public.)
(The Hongmen and Caobang both have a bad rule: you can be responsible but you cannot deny. If you say you are a Hongmen or Qingbang, everyone will recognize it. But if you back down when doing things, you will be dealt with according to the gang rules and family laws.)
(And the three religions are actually one family, that is to say, the Triads, the Gelaohui, the Hongmen, and the White Lotus Sect are actually a group of things.)
(Even Shandong bandits, Taihu water bandits, Northeastern bandits, and all kinds of people use the same set of spring points, but with a little difference in content. Even finger-guessing is a kind of spring point.)
The idea of ​​solving the problem once and for all is correct, but it is a bit naive.

When Chi Mengli saw the relentless look of Ninth Girl, he knew that this Pujie would definitely monopolize Ruan Wen's business. He was not sure yet whether Ruan Wen had told Ninth Girl about the videotape business he had in mind.

This must be verified as soon as possible!

After all, making videotapes is not an excellent business that requires any technical skills. Coke knows the same people that Ruan Wen knows, so if he kicks Ruan Wen out, he can do it himself.

"Since Miss Ruan wants to solve the problem, I won't get in the way here."

"Miss Nine, you've gone too far today. Many regular customers have complained. I'll tell the boss, so you'd better be prepared."

"You can only keep one person by your side. The rest of you, get out, or I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your father Deng Qi."

Sheng Lude didn't give Ninth Girl any face at all. If it weren't for the fact that this gossipy woman's father was Deng Qi, he would have broken the hands and feet of these troublemakers and thrown them into the street for public display.

After the Japanese devils left, no one dared to cause trouble or disrupt the place at the Peninsula Hotel.

"Ah Sheng, we are all disciples of Hutchison. Peace is the most important thing in everything. If you want to cause trouble, do it outside. Don't spill blood on the carpet of the hotel."

After warning the Ninth Miss, Sheng Lude turned around and warned Chi Mengli as well. Then, without listening to Chi Mengli's answer, he turned around and left the box.

"Go out first, Coke, you go out too, there is nothing for you to do here."

Chi Mengli asked those who were not involved to leave first and not get in the way.

Kele, Jimi and Xizi all hesitated for a moment when they heard what Chi Mengli said. Kele looked at Ruan Wen. After all, he was Ruan Wen's lackey now, and Ruan Wen gave him money.

Eat the king's salary and worry about the king.

Although there is no need to risk your life for this little money, you can still support your boss at a critical moment. People still need to have some loyalty.

Ruan Wen was very touched when she saw that Coke did not move and was waiting for her instructions. She nodded at Coke, then looked at Aamir Khan and motioned him to go out.

The Ninth Girl was a man of few words. She nodded to her men and asked them to get out of the way.

When Xizai and Jimi saw that everyone from Ninth Girl had gone out, they didn't say much and followed them out.

Only Chi Mengli, Jiu Guang and Ruan Wen were left in the box.

"Miss Ruan, do you want to think clearly about the three questions I mentioned?"

Chi Mengli didn't look at the Ninth Girl standing beside him. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and asked with a smile.

Ruan Wen did not speak, and Miss Nine beside him became anxious. She said directly: "Miss Ruan, if you want to shoot a movie, you still need to find our number. This is Xiangjiang, not Hanoi."

"I can handle all the problems you can't handle."

"My offer is not high. For your next three movies, the heroine will use our number to help the director, assistant casting director, stagehand, and martial artist. All of them must use our people."

After hearing Ninth Lady's request, Chi Mengli really wanted to buy a newspaper to see if Ninth Lady's father Deng Qi had been promoted to Governor of Hong Kong and whether Great Jude had given up his position to him.

This is treating Ruan Wen as a weakling. If other film company bosses hear this, there will be thunder in the streets tonight, and both Jiu Guang and Deng Qi may die in the streets.

not kidding!

Throughout history, both in China and abroad, there are countless cases of people in the underworld asking for too much and having their entire families wiped out.

A few years ago, Silly Chun, whose number was stacked with the character "Ren", was too arrogant and offended the bosses of the film company. He was directly blocked in a car and became a hornet's nest.

If you eat in an ugly way, you will anger others.

After hearing what Ninth Girl said, Ruan Wen's pretty face turned red with anger. How shameless!

For the movies that her company has invested heavily in, the director, the assistant casting director, and the male lead all have to use the number helper. Once they agree, she will be a mere figurehead on the set, and the money in her pocket will also become the number helper's.

If you follow the number helper for all three plays, it is equivalent to paying the fees for all three plays.

Even the major North American film companies cannot afford the losses of three movies.

She looked at Chi Mengli and began to think about the three questions this guy asked.

Partnership!

Do you have the ability to open up market channels?

There is no countermeasure!
Ruan Wen thought to himself that being a simple partner was impossible. After all, he was being targeted by the Number Gang. If he was just a partner, Handsome Sheng would not stand up for him.

She suddenly remembered the advice her father had given her before coming to Hong Kong: people need to find their own position.

Success is also very simple, it all depends on how much you are willing to pay for your career.

Looking at Chi Mengli, Ruan Wen made up her mind. She picked up the wine in front of her, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Dear, I have thought of the first answer."

"As for the remaining two answers, I will tell you in my room."

Adulterer and adulterer!

After cursing fiercely in her heart, the Ninth Miss turned her head to look at Chi Mengli and asked tentatively: "Miss Ruan is involved with your handsome boy Shengye?"

"You two are having an affair now?!"

When he heard the word "also", Chi Mengli was very surprised. He looked at Ruan Wen with a little surprise. He didn't expect that this beautiful girl with pure appearance had such a rich private life. It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover.

But it seems that there are a lot of men and women in the literary and art circles who break through secular taboos. It is understandable that artists all need a little inspiration.

But this has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he will not touch this ghost woman. When dating, he needs to find a good family. At least he will not get any love! Mei! These high-end diseases.

Chi Mengli is not an ascetic, nor is he an ascetic. But there is really no suitable one, and we can't force it!
Matters of the heart cannot be forced.

But when doing business together, you have to point your guns outward and have the same stance, otherwise you can't go on, especially in a business like videotapes, which is a risky business.

The two parties must be bound together by marriage, and they must sign a large number of prenuptial agreements and video company shareholding agreements. It is even stipulated that when the two parties sell their shares, they must obtain the consent of both parties and list both parties as priority purchasers of the shares.

Only when the interests of both parties are aligned can this big ship have the possibility of sailing out to sea.

"I am not interested in Miss Ruan's past, nor do I mind it, just like I don't mind that you are a bitch."

"But Miss Ruan's calling you dear proves that she is my handsome girl."

"Ninth Miss, you are a gossip. You embarrass me outside all day long, saying that I did it to you without paying. Damn it! We were all drunk back then, and you didn't ask for money. We were both willing, but you are still like a gossip, chattering all day long!"

Chi Mengli had an affair with Ninth Girl?!
Of course not!
The meeting at the funeral was the first time the two met.

But when it comes to young and gangsters, they use force and swear words, and without them, there would be no essence.

"I picked that star. The handsome guy is better than you, a stinky thing. What do you mean?"

"You idiot, if you believe me, I will save you from the disease!"

"Hem home shovel!"

This was the first time someone had spoken so rudely to her since Deng Qi had become the second marshal of the Number Gang and the leader of the gang. The Ninth Girl immediately picked up the red wine glass in front of her and poured the top-quality red wine in it onto Chi Mengli's face.

A whole glass of red wine flew onto Chi Mengli's face, and his white shirt was dyed wine red. He picked up the unused napkin on the table, wiped his face clean, and said, "To stab someone in the back is not what a gentleman does."

"But you really don't seem to have a third leg!"

"All three dramas belong to your number gang. You are asking for too much. I will take care of Miss Ruan Wen's affairs."

"Ms. Nine, I'll give you two hundred thousand in cash to buy Miss Ruan Wen's safety. What do you think?"

Chi Mengli's little mouth was like a critical hit rune. Every word she said was a critical hit and hit the Nine Girl's vital point.

Deng Qi was a hero all his life, but his biggest regret was that he never had a child, so now he still relies on young women, hoping to work a miracle by relying on numbers.

A person's fate is determined by heaven. If something goes wrong, it won't work. Sowing seeds widely will not work.

"Flop! Even if I don't have a third leg, I'm still more of a hero than Handsome Sheng."

"Two hundred thousand, are you sending away a blind beggar?"

"Handsome Sheng, you are very popular now. You dare to make trouble in front of your boss's spirit. It's really shameless, but dirty rats and black dogs are not the exclusive business of anyone. If you can handle it, others can handle it too."

"Although your mouth is as dirty as shit, your attitude is good. I won't cause trouble for Miss Ruan. That means you, the handsome guy, can crawl under my cheongsam. Otherwise, there is no room for negotiation."

"From today on, New Wave Films will be closed down immediately. I say this, even Jesus can't save it."

"Handsome Sheng, you are so flattering, but just because you are a famous person now doesn't mean you will always be famous. There will always be bad times for everyone. Even if the situation doesn't change, the water will change."

The Ninth Miss stood up, sneered, and then looked at Ruan Wen who was sitting next to her and said, "Miss Ruan, if you are looking for a backer, you should be more careful. Don't think that he is a backer. He might be an ungrateful person who eats meat but does not spit out bones."

After she finished her harsh words, she put on her mink shawl and walked out of the box.

The uninvited guest left, and Chi Mengli looked at Ruan Wen and said, "I helped you solve some minor business problems. Now you can devote yourself to the business of purchasing copyrights."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be beheaded when I leave the Peninsula Hotel. If being beheaded once can help me find a new way to make money, I am willing to do it."

"Since you have figured out the first question, Miss Ruan Wen, I will offer my price. I will inject two million into your account, and you will transfer 30% of the shares of New Wave Film Company to me."

"I will pay two million, and Miss Ruan Wen will also pay two million. Then we will use the identity of New Wave Film Company to purchase the film copyright of Hong Kong, find voice actors to dub, and then insert subtitles."

"Miss Ruan Wen, you are still the boss of New Wave Film Company. You will be responsible for recording the movies. I will set up a videotape production company that specializes in producing blank videotapes that meet Sony standards. From now on, all videotapes sold by New Wave Film Company will be produced by my company."

"To be fair, Miss Ruan Wen can also obtain 30% of the shares of the videotape production company, and the price is also 2 million Hong Kong dollars. I will also take out 2 million."

"The main purpose of this four million is to open a video tape production factory in Yuen Long. After all, we want to purchase a complete set of production lines from the Sony factory."

"If possible, we will even build another factory to produce cheap VCRs, so that Hong Kong, Macao, and Tainan can enjoy this great invention of home VCRs as soon as possible."

"I calculated that the initial investment is at least 10 million yuan. I hope Miss Ruan Wen is not just a figurehead, otherwise I will waste too much time today."

Chi Mengli briefly talked about his ideas and told Ruan Wen the future direction of spending money.

Ruan Wen nodded. She admired Chi Mengli's efficiency. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I will fly to Japan tomorrow to negotiate with people from Sony."

"Whether it's introducing technology, introducing production lines, or producing video recorders, Sony people will be eager to get it. The Japanese have always wanted to expand into the Hong Kong market."

"I have acquired more than a dozen comedy films, as well as erotic films directed by Li Hanxiang."

"Today's society is too repressed, and everyone needs to be released. In the future, gunfights, sex comedies, and romances will be what the public needs, or erotic films with more nudity."

As a film practitioner, Ruan Wen has a very accurate grasp of the changing trends in the market and she knows what the audiences who walk into the cinema want to see.

"In the future, New Wave will not directly make films, but will only invest in some film projects, and then take control of the video distribution rights of popular films, and will also invest in some seductive films."

"I will be responsible for the sales channels in Southeast Asia and Europe, but you will be in charge of the sales in Hong Kong, Macau and North America."

"Happy cooperation, dear!"

Ruan Wen raised his glass and winked at Chi Mengli playfully.
