The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 789 A Rare Opportunity! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In August 1984, the second installment of "Guerrilla Force" was released to great acclaim.

Moreover, it was released simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong, creating quite a stir.

Ye Fan, accompanied by several staff members from the business system, entered Hong Kong Island using the identity of a film production company.

The first impression is naturally one of towering buildings and bustling prosperity.

But who is Ye Fan?

How could someone as charismatic and influential as the protagonist of a historical novel be easily intimidated by the bustling scene of Hong Kong Island?
He quickly realized that something was wrong.

The entire Hong Kong Island seemed to be shrouded in gloom.

After watching the television and reading the newspapers, Ye Fan couldn't help but sneer repeatedly.

At this time, the negotiations for the final ownership of Hong Kong Island were underway.

I know everything!

In any case, rumors are rampant in Hong Kong, and the public and the middle class are in a state of panic several times a day!
After several days of on-site investigation, Ye Fan understood Wu Aiguo's specific intention in sending him here.

What is most needed in the mainland right now, or even in counties or regions?
Foreign exchange is just a facade!

Even if we have foreign exchange, we should exchange it for real machinery, equipment and means of production. The ultimate goal is to increase productivity.

At this time, there is a great opportunity to buy Hong Kong Island real estate at rock-bottom prices!

Indeed, Hong Kong Island before 1984 had a considerable industrial strength.

Whether it's machinery or products, there may be a significant gap compared to our daily lives, but it's about five years more advanced than domestic products.

After all, at that time, Hong Kong's products could be sold all over the world, which obviously meant that the quality of the products produced was acceptable and met customer demand.

As negotiations continue, many business owners on Hong Kong Island are considering selling their properties and fleeing the island.

Even the real estate market is starting to slump, let alone the manufacturing sector.

They're still struggling to hold on, but once the negotiations are over, the factory's machinery and equipment will truly become worthless.

At this point, if we could pack it up and bring it back to the county, and as long as we digested and absorbed the technology and were able to sell the products, the county might be called the "Little Hong Kong Island" of the mainland in just a few years!
Of course, achieving this is not an easy task.

Before coming, Wu Aiguo gave Ye Fan some advice: after making a decision, go to Grandpa Huo for help.

With memories of his previous lives, how could Wu Aiguo not know!
The hollowing out of Hong Kong Island's industries began in 1984!
By 1987, they had basically lost all their real industries.

Where did those Hong Kong businessmen who built factories in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone come from?

It wasn't until he couldn't make a living in Hong Kong and was indignant at the actions of the British Hong Kong government that he took the great risk of going north.

That's why people say Ye Fan has a lot of luck in him.

For a deputy section chief from a small inland county, meeting Huo Daheng was extremely difficult.

If we go through official procedures, we also need to go through the channels of Huaxia Society.

This time, Ye Fan met with Huo Daheng in a private capacity!

But surprisingly, he achieved his goal in less than two days.

Upon meeting, Ye Fan immediately asked, "If Hong Kong's return to China becomes a certainty, what changes will occur in Hong Kong?"

"Are you so sure?"

Huo Daheng retorted, "Can you tell me where your confidence comes from?"

"When the country was first founded, we were extremely poor, but we still fought the Korean War without hesitation. Now, our family's situation is much better than it was back then!"

"If it's a naval battle, there's not much to say. But as for a land battle, what about the already weakened and dilapidated Daiei?"

"Let alone just three thousand troops, even three hundred thousand troops wouldn't be enough to fight. Can Daiying withstand such heavy losses?"

"Is your family really that determined?"

“Anyone who hesitates even slightly on this matter might end up sitting at the same table as Qin Hui. Who would dare gamble with their posthumous reputation?” Huo Daheng remained silent for a moment, then quickly realized what was going on and asked in a deep voice, “What is your purpose?”

"Buy up real estate in Hong Kong at rock-bottom prices!"

Ye Fan said in a deep voice, "But I don't have any money. In fact, Mr. Huo doesn't need to contribute any money. As long as he shorts Hong Kong stocks at the crucial moment, he will have the money to buy at the bottom!"

"This is a ruthless move. Without real industries, Hong Kong Island has no future."

Huo Daheng asked doubtfully, "Won't the country agree to this so easily?"

"Hehe, Mr. Fok, do you think that if the return of Hong Kong Island to China is confirmed, the Hong Kong British government would still allow Hong Kong Island to have real industries?"

Seeing that Huo Daheng remained silent, he chuckled and said, "Rather than let the Hong Kong British government squander everything, it's better to buy up the bargains and send them back to the mainland to continue shining!"

"Alright, I'll think about it carefully!"

After Ye Fan left, the old man next to Huo Daheng suddenly came over and said directly, "Sir, this is a formidable expert!"

"A formidable expert?"

Huo Daheng asked with some doubt, "How powerful is it?"

"It's estimated that they've already reached the stage of refining tendons, and perhaps even bones!"

"Wow... that's exaggerated! The person from earlier didn't look very old!"

"The land of China is full of hidden talents, and geniuses emerge one after another!"

"Hehe, it seems I need to pay even more attention!"

If they knew that Ye Fan had been practicing martial arts for less than three years, they would probably be absolutely shocked.

Of course, the 'Perfect Tonic Pill' provided by Wu Aiguo played a key role in Ye Fan's rapid improvement in martial arts.

Cough cough, no doubt about it, the 'Perfect Tonic Pill' concocted by Wu Aiguo naturally incorporates precious resources from the Five Old Peaks Secret Realm.

Despite being diluted considerably, the effect of adding it is still quite good.

When Ye Fan first tasted it, he was utterly astonished.

With this thing, the relationship between Wu Aiguo and Ye Fan became even closer—it's that mundane.

Having sensed the potential trajectory of Hong Kong, Ye Fan was not going to place all his hopes on Huo Daheng.

The two "Poyang Lake Guerrilla Team" films grossed over HK$40 million in Hong Kong alone.

Including other sales revenue, it easily exceeds HK$70 million.

Some of this money has already been sent back to China.

But the majority of the money is still in the account on Hong Kong Island.

This time, Ye Fan plans to use this huge sum of money to personally take charge of the operation.

Knowing the outcome, it's quite easy to deduce the process in reverse.

With Ye Fan's shrewdness, he could easily figure out the specific workings of the Hong Kong stock market and financial markets.

Unfortunately, his rank was too low!
Even if Wu Aiguo were to be promoted, he wouldn't be of enough weight.

Otherwise, if they combine their strength with that of the mainland in Hong Kong and fail to bankrupt the Hong Kong stock market and financial markets in this wave, then they'll be considered incompetent.

If handled properly, it could potentially be equivalent to a year's or even two or three years' worth of foreign exchange reserves in China, allowing for a substantial profit in one go.

Back in the dormitory provided by Yindu Agency, Ye Fan called Wu Aiguo's office directly and briefly explained the situation.

"Well done. You just focus on handling things in Hong Kong, I'll take care of things here in the county!"
