The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 137 Unexpected! (Subscribe)
"There haven't been any major incidents in the martial arts world, but there have been a lot more fights and disturbances in the turf!"

Li Xin replied, "It's all because of the stock market crash. Many of my brothers' families have gone bankrupt and are struggling to even get enough to eat!"

"It's just that the boss is kindhearted. At least he provided lunch for the lower-level brothers. But they are still very angry and easily provoked. They are not so easy to appease!"

Here in Hong Kong Island, the culture of stock speculation is quite strong among citizens.

It cannot be said that everyone is investing in stocks, but most of the residents living in busy neighborhoods do invest in stocks.

If you have watched "Big Times", you will understand the fanaticism. It is like being possessed by a demon, which is quite shocking.

When the stock market crash broke out, Wu Feng felt there was no need to pity them.

After all, they made a lot of money when the stock market was booming.

"I've heard that many of my brothers have started borrowing money!"

Wang Zhi continued, "We were also affected by the stock market crash. The situation at home is really difficult!"

"Then you can't live on borrowed money, right?"

Wu Feng frowned and said, "When it comes time to pay back the money, the lender won't be polite to them!"

"There's nothing I can do about it. I've already inquired about it!"

Wang Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone has their own reasons for borrowing money, otherwise someone might die!"

Wu Feng was speechless. He couldn't say much about such a thing.

"Boss, I have good news!"

Zhang Yong then spoke up: "The number of people actively signing up for the fight has suddenly increased significantly!"

Wu Feng said unhappily, "How can this be considered good news?"

"I guess it's because the family is short of money again. He really dares to come up with any idea!"

Even if it's a ring exhibition match, there's a high possibility of injury.

"Why should I care so much?"

Zhang Yong looked unconcerned and sneered, "Since they dared to sign up, it means they're mentally prepared. Why should you worry about them, sir?"

"What about their strength?"

Wu Feng rolled his eyes and shouted, "Not everyone can enter the arena!"

"If the audience is not satisfied, what's the point of recruiting more people? Are you just going to fight for your territory?"

"I would like to, but it's a pity that you don't give me a chance, sir!"

Zhang Yong said with a grin, "Don't worry, Boss! Any fighter who has the guts to sign up has a pretty good foundation. They'll be ready to fight after a while!"

"That's pretty much it!"

Wu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the three of them and changed the subject immediately: "Has the pork trotter rice business and the high-quality A-grade goods business in your territory been affected by the stock market crash?"

“Not affected!”

Li Xin shook his head, a puzzled look on his face, and said doubtfully: "In fact, business is even better!"

Wang Zhi and Zhang Yong nodded, obviously they also noticed something unusual.

Wu Feng was quite satisfied with the reactions of the three of them.

Obviously, he doesn't usually stay in Tuodi to enjoy himself, but he has a clear understanding of the situation of his subordinates in the territory. Otherwise, how could he notice such details?

"Humph, the poor at the bottom don't have the money to invest in stocks. It's hard for them to survive!"

"Those affected by the stock market crash are middle-class white-collar workers. They don't have the money to live lavishly right now. Whether it's dining or shopping, their spending has declined. Aren't they just customers of pork knuckle rice and premium fake goods?"

"The impact of the current stock market crash isn't too profound yet. Let's make it clear to the small business owners in our area in advance. Tell them to take their time with their stock purchases and not be blindly optimistic about future business!"

"Also, as the main force, you three should also find some ways to help your subordinates make money!"

"Otherwise, there will be too many people doing nothing, and it will be impossible to avoid fighting and causing trouble!"

The three big guys all smiled wryly, speechless about the boss. He was just like a government agency, meddling in so many other people's business.
In their opinion, the boss has been very kind to them.

Being able to provide lunch for the Blue Lanterns that are not on the underwater list is simply a great act of kindness.

Even though the standard meal cost only HK$10, you can still eat very well.

One meal costs several thousand!

Look at other societies, which one of them cares about the life or death of the Blue Lanterns?
Besides, there are only so many businesses in the area, how can you open a new one whenever you want?

Wu Feng saw it, but didn't say much. He waved his hand to signal them to go away.

In fact, he did have an idea, and it wouldn't cost much.

At that time, the three of his subordinates will be needed to organize it.

It is ironic that this wave of stock market crash has little impact on the bigwigs of social groups.

Most of the money of the gang bosses is hidden from the public.

The cost of washing rice is too high, so one can only store the cash at home or in a secret safe place.

Naturally, not much money is invested in the stock market, and whether the stock market rises or falls has little to do with them.

The same is true, the bosses of the community are all quite stable.

The homes of those with blue lanterns had the most problems.

Even the big bosses of the community can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune!
As far as Wu Feng knows, the financial companies of major social groups have seen a sharp increase in business recently.

Those middle-class and small-time wealthy individuals who could no longer afford the loans had to pledge their valuable assets for loans. These loans were actually no different from pawning them.
The profits of the community finance company are rolling in, and the profits are no joke.

If you can't turn things around in a short period of time, or even get support from a so-called noble person, who can withstand it?

In fact, the actions of the community leaders and Li Bancheng are similar, which can be regarded as passive bottom-fishing.

Who says the society has a good cash flow, apart from anything else?

Even the financial company under Wu Feng took the opportunity to buy a lot of properties at low prices.

We acquired the shops on Fa Yuen Street and Tung Choi Street, as well as two old tenement buildings!

Even so, the financial company still has a lot of cash reserves.

If you play tricks like lending, the rewards will be even more amazing.

Not only the financial companies under his command, but also the emotional hotline operators who had accumulated a lot of funds, as well as the "stall models" and the like, were all encouraged to buy houses and shops.

There are also young brothers who run the pork trotter rice business, guys who have the ability to participate in the ring show, and brothers who are small vendors, all of whom are encouraged by the big bottoms to buy at the bottom.

If you don't calculate it, you will be shocked. Some of Wu Feng's subordinates are considered wealthy people in Hong Kong Island at that time.

This wave of bottom-fishing not only shocked Wu Feng, but also the neighbors on the three streets were shocked by the "generosity" of these little brothers.

In the past, I wouldn’t even give him a second glance, but now I don’t expect him to be so rich.

The key point is that the money they have is legitimate money earned from small businesses, and it is a normal income that can be sustained. This is amazing.

A simple estimate will give you an idea of ​​their monthly income, which is comparable to that of white-collar workers in Central, and some even earn more.

Now, the gossips on the three streets could no longer sit still.

Damn, there are so many high-quality young handsome guys hiding right under their noses, but they turn a blind eye to them. They are simply blind.

If this gets out, I'm sure I'll be laughed at and ridiculed by gossipers from other streets.

The most important thing is that these young handsome men with stable incomes are quite good marriage candidates.

As for the fact that they were in gangs, the gossips didn't take it seriously at all.

We are all neighbors, who doesn’t know each other?
A young handsome guy who can make money by doing small business peacefully is definitely not one of those real bad guys who are completely rotten.

Most of the people at the bottom who join the society in order to make a living are normal people.

Even Wu Feng had not expected that a major stock market crash would allow Sijiu, one of his subordinates who was content to run a small business, to find a wife.

He couldn't help but think of the plot of a certain movie: "Lao Xu, do you want a wife?"

This is definitely a good thing!

From now on, these guys who rely on Wu Feng to make a fortune and get married will definitely be his most loyal supporters.

There is no other reason, as long as Wu Feng is still standing, their small business can continue.

But if Wu Feng’s protection is gone, do the other community leaders have such kindness?

If things go wrong, it is possible that your family will be destroyed and your whole life will be ruined.

At this time, those guys who often hang out in nightclubs were dumbfounded.

They really live a carefree life, even changing girlfriends every few days.

But few of their neighbors look up to them, and they don't even have a chance with any decent girls.

In short, the younger brothers in the territory were not seriously affected by the stock market crash.

What was actually seriously affected were the regular businesses under his control.

Of course, there is no problem with the company itself, the problem lies with the company's employees.

These guys have stable jobs and incomes, but are not satisfied with fixed incomes. They are quite active in investing in the stock market. This stock market crash has caused them to suffer heavy losses.

Although it was not to the point of bankruptcy, a lot of savings over the years were consumed.

Look, when Wu Feng arrived at the newspaper office, it was filled with gloom and sadness.

If you don’t know, you might think that "Mong Kok News" and "Night Color" have suffered major setbacks and are about to go out of business. It’s really speechless.

"Wusheng, look at this..."

Manager Liu Wenxiang was very embarrassed and felt like he couldn't even raise his head in front of Wu Feng.

His losses in this stock market crash were very small, not because he was alert, but because he was too busy all day and had no time and energy to understand the situation in the stock market.

If it were a tiger with a more normal identity, perhaps he would still dare to slack off.

But Wu Feng’s identity is not normal, he is the dignified leader of the Hung Hing Sai Kung.

He must be crazy to dare to joke with his own life and act like a demon in front of Wu Feng.

"Explain this clearly to all staff members!"

Wu Feng's face was gloomy, and he said in a bad tone: "Their losses in the stock market have nothing to do with me. I didn't tell them to speculate in stocks whenever they have spare money!"

"If you still act like this, get out of here!"

"I don't know what's wrong with you. You really think I'm easy to talk to, right?"

Some of the more unpleasant things were not said out loud, and I think the newspaper employees are aware of them.

As soon as Liu Wenxiang timidly announced Wu Feng's dissatisfaction, the depressed atmosphere in the newspaper office dissipated visibly, and the employees worked hard one by one.

Even if it's just for Wu Feng, it should at least look realistic.
