Chapter 115: Seeking ATV! (Subscribe)
"You mean, HSBC will strongly recommend Li Bancheng again?"

Xu Renjie said subconsciously: "That's not right. If HSBC has support, why would Li Bancheng waste his energy raising massive funds? HSBC can easily help him get it!"

Look, Hong Kong elites with a certain status like Xu Renjie all understand the main reason for Li Bancheng's rapid rise, and the biggest contributor is naturally HSBC.

"With HSBC's resources, supporting Li Bancheng doesn't necessarily require real money!"

Wu Feng smiled and said, "Besides, I guess Li Bancheng wouldn't be happy about raising funds through HSBC's channels!"

"Oh I see!"

Seeing Wu Feng's meaningful smile, Xu Renjie suddenly realized what was going on and nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, if I were Li Bancheng, I wouldn't be willing to be tied too tightly to HSBC!"

Wu Feng just smiled and said nothing, but he felt quite regretful in his heart.

My strength is not strong enough!

In October 1987, there will be a world-class stock market crash.

Li Bancheng took advantage of this rare opportunity to establish himself as the richest Chinese man and completely widen the gap between himself and other wealthy Chinese people in Hong Kong Island.

In later generations, various media outlets praised Li Bancheng for his foresight, but everyone with a discerning eye knew the truth.

This time, it was obviously HSBC that gave Li Bancheng a hard push from behind!
Otherwise, why did Li Bancheng choose such a good time, just a few months before the stock market crash, while reducing his holdings of the group's stocks and raising large amounts of funds as reserve ammunition?
When the stock market crash hit Hong Kong Island and all walks of life were in mourning, it was the perfect time to buy good assets at a bargain price.

HSBC had a purpose in helping Li Bancheng become the richest Chinese and a leading figure in Hong Kong's Chinese business community. Looking back, it's clear that HSBC succeeded, and the profits were unimaginably substantial.

Li Bancheng got off to a very bad start!

He has been the richest Chinese for decades. How huge is his influence in the Chinese world?
Then, under his guidance, the wealthy people in the Chinese world in Asia deposited their money into HSBC.

A British bank was forced to become a capital circulation hub for the Chinese world in Asia.

On a national level, this is quite shocking and unbelievable.

But such a thing happened in Hong Kong Island and the Chinese world in Asia.

Even the legitimate Chinese bank in Singapore cannot match HSBC's influence in the Chinese world.

With such a foundation, wouldn’t it be easy for HSBC to enter the mainland?

Not only that, even most of the capital flows of overseas Chinese are under the supervision of HSBC.

You should know that the capital circulation station in the Chinese world in Asia before HSBC was called Pangu Bank!
Just from the name, you can tell that this is a bank founded by Chinese.

Also influenced by this, when the mainland's economy developed, most of the emerging wealthy people would transfer and manage their overseas funds through HSBC.

If it weren't for the UK's severe decline, HSBC would not be a member of the US after all. Otherwise, it would pose a huge threat to the safety of funds of many wealthy mainlanders overseas.

The Ju factory is a prime example; if it weren't for a stroke of luck, the owner would have been screwed by HSBC and the US. Leading private technology companies in mainland China will face unimaginable disasters.

No wonder in many of the urban rebirth novels I read in my previous life, the protagonists treated Li Bancheng as an external enemy.

Among them, the most convenient one is a novel in which the protagonist owns a simulator.

By establishing the Pangdonglai model supermarket and taking advantage of the two opportunities to intercept Li Bancheng's rise, Li Bancheng was directly silenced.

It’s a pity that Wu Feng doesn’t have that ability, and it’s impossible for him to lead the entire Hong Kong Island to make a fortune in the Japanese stock market. Such a good thing can only be dreamed of.

However, he thought the idea provided by another official novel was quite feasible.

Wu Feng was a little hesitant about whether to do this. Was it too late now?
Hey, even though he seems to be doing well at the moment, he still feels very difficult if he really wants to go against the top dignitaries and wealthy people in Hong Kong Island.

Especially if you are a big boss in a community, you can't enter some industries at all.

Otherwise, with the speed at which he accumulated wealth, it would not be difficult for him to seize the opportunity of Li Bancheng's rise.

One is Hong Kong Electric, and the other is Kwai Tsing Pier No. 6. Both were one of the most important cash cows in Li Bancheng's hands when he later became the richest Chinese.

After seeing Xu Renjie off, he no longer had the heart to stay in the underground boxing ring.

He asked Zhang Yong, who was temporarily in charge of the boxing ring, to open the underground boxing ring to the public.

I think most of the public would be interested in the underground boxing ring. By charging an entrance fee of five dollars, they could probably make a lot of money just by selling drinks, snacks, and fast food.

I can only make my subordinates suffer!
Playing an exhibition match is also quite tiring. Even though Wu Feng has equipped them with headgear and boxing gloves, who wouldn't feel sore and uncomfortable all over after a match?
Of course, if you persist in such exhibition matches, your actual combat ability will definitely be greatly improved.

Even if there is no other way to make money in the future, is it okay to participate in formal competitions?

Privately, Wu Feng had painted a rosy picture for them, and they were looking forward to that day coming soon.

Fortunately, Hong Kong is a capitalist society. As long as you have money, the procedures don't have to be too smooth. As long as you pay enough money, you'll be fine.

Although the environment of the warehouse where the underground boxing ring is located is a bit poor, it is much more down-to-earth than those high-end places. According to Zhang Yong, there is no problem.

Wu Feng did not ask too many questions. Since he had handed it over to his subordinates, he fully trusted their abilities.

After taking a bus back to Tuodi, I called Li Xin in the office on the third floor.

"Boss, we've found out, we've collected enough evidence!"

Li Xin's voice in the microphone was trembling with excitement.

It's no wonder he did this. Li Xin was following Wu Feng's orders to investigate the Far East Bank's scandal. If it were exposed, he would have no choice but to flee immediately, and wouldn't be able to return to Hong Kong Island for at least a few years.

Even the big boss Wu Feng would probably be subjected to very strong suppression and warnings.

"As long as we have collected reliable evidence!"

Wu Feng smiled broadly: "Come back with the evidence first, and remember to keep it a secret. If something unexpected happens, you know the consequences!"

"I know, I know, don't worry, sir!"

Li Xin's voice was particularly firm in the microphone: "I personally followed and got involved in this matter."

"I've already arranged for those investigation company employees to travel to Australia. They'll be back after the Spring Festival. There won't be any problems!"

"Okay, let's talk when we meet!"

After Wu Feng hung up the phone, he felt quite good for a moment, and his originally gloomy mood disappeared.

This time, he sent his trusted confidant Li Xin to personally take action, with the purpose of obtaining some unfavorable evidence against Far Eastern Bank, which would be very helpful for him to take over ATV.

I didn’t expect the results to come out so quickly!

In addition to admiring Li Xin's reliability, I couldn't help but be surprised at Qiu Degen's audacity. Is he really not afraid of being targeted by competitors?
But no matter what, this is good news for Wu Feng!
When Li Xin came over, he handed him a file bag and said, "Boss, I'm glad you did your job well!"

Wu Feng nodded, took it, opened it, looked at it carefully, and laughed: "Good, good, you have done a great job this time!"

"Do your job well. If you have the time and energy, the pork trotter rice business on Ao Island will be handed over to you!"

Li Xin was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, saying that he would do his job well and would definitely not let the boss down.

How could he not be happy?
How popular is the pork trotter rice business in Hong Kong Island?

People on the Australian island are richer and can afford more.

As long as the pork trotter rice business is fully expanded, a monthly income of one million will be a small amount.

Of course, it is not easy to accept this reward.

How to open channels and how to avoid trouble from the communities on the Australian island is also a headache.

But this was just a happy trouble. Li Xin left happily, thinking about how to break the situation.

Wu Feng put down the briefcase and made another call.

The person who answered the phone was the manager of Fengrui Film and Television Company, who immediately took action after receiving Wu Feng's instructions.

That evening, when it was almost time to get off work, Qiu Degen was just about to leave ATV when he received a message from his secretary: Wu Feng, the boss of Fengrui Film and Television, wanted to visit Chairman Qiu tomorrow.

"Wushi from Fengrui Film and Television?"

Qiu Degen was a little surprised: "Did he say anything he wanted to say?"

"no!"

The secretary shook his head and explained, "The person who called was the manager of Fengrui Film and Television Company!"

"Oh, so I'll meet this movie mogul tomorrow!"

Qiu Degen smiled and said, "Remember to take this matter to heart and don't be rude!"

After saying that, he left the office and took a car home.

After all, he was the owner of a TV station and one of the biggest names in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, so he had naturally heard of Wu Feng. He was the latest rising movie tycoon, and his momentum was quite strong.

Even Qiu Degen himself didn't believe that he was not interested in the film industry.

Unfortunately, I am old and no longer have the ability to manage ATV. Even if I have ideas in my mind, I don’t have the extra energy to do it.

He is not even very satisfied with the situation of ATV.

Unfortunately, it’s the same reason. He is old and doesn’t have the energy to do that.

The next day soon arrived. As Qiu Degen arrived at ATV by car, he saw a brand new seven-seater official car in the parking lot, and four vans parked quietly beside it, like the moon surrounded by stars.

Wu Feng got out of the car quickly, and immediately, more than a dozen strong young men appeared in four vans and a seven-seater commercial vehicle like dumplings.

Most of the arms have dragons and phoenixes painted on them, and you can tell at a glance that it is not a good idea.

The bodyguards and driver around him subconsciously protected Qiu Degen, and looked at Wu Feng and his group with eyes full of vigilance and anxiety.

"Mr. Qiu, I'm Wu Feng from Fengrui Films. I informed you in advance yesterday evening!"

Wu Feng was far away, but he smiled and revealed his identity.

"Oh, so you're the Wusheng from Fengrui Film and Television!"

Qiu Degen suddenly realized something, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed. He looked at the group of younger brothers behind Wu Feng and asked curiously, "Wu Sheng, what are you doing..."
