Hong Kong Movie: At the beginning, Big Boss B asked me to draw the death lottery

Chapter 130 is about holding the fish head brand; in this business, it's best to grasp the Achilles' heel!
Yin Tianchou sat blankly on the sofa, the anticipation he had just expressed so freely gone from his face.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, albeit woodenly.

"Mr. He isn't joking, is he?"

Do I look like I'm joking with you?

He Yaozong patted Yin Tianchou on the shoulder and said.

"To get ahead, you have to pay a price."

Don't worry about retaliation. I'll sign a management contract with you, and from then on, I'll be your manager in Hong Kong. I'll protect you, so you don't need to worry at all."

Upon hearing this, Yin Tianchou shook his head.

"Mr. He, it's not that I'm afraid of retaliation."

Actually, I am a very pure actor. If you are willing to give me this opportunity, I will definitely not refuse.

However... I'm afraid no one on Hong Kong Island will be willing to provide a filming location for us, and when filming wraps up, I'm worried it will be difficult to secure theater distribution rights..."

As he spoke, Yin Tianchou looked at He Yaozong with a sincere expression.

"Mr. He, I don't want your investment to go down the drain."

"You don't need to worry about that. I admire you and am happy to help you fulfill your dream of becoming an actor!"

If filming locations on Hong Kong Island are difficult to manage, then we'll just shoot on location. I'll go to Taiwan and Macau to pull some strings for you.

If securing cinema chains on Hong Kong Island is difficult, then we'll secure as many as we can. If all else fails, I'll book theaters for you and arrange for video rental shops in various locations of Wo Luen Shing, then release them on DVD.

In short, I'm confident that this movie will make you a star!

As He Yaozong spoke, he grabbed Yin Tianchou's shoulder and pulled him over.

He whispered, "I even plan to have you write, direct, and star in this movie."

What you need to do most right now is to hurry up and get some money from me, then I'll arrange for a few people to send you flyers to polish the script within three days!

Yin Tianchou was greatly shocked.

He Yaozong's confident promises just now had made him feel somewhat uneasy.

It sounds like Ho Yiu-chung has gone all out to produce a big-budget production.

But is it a bit too much to ask an unknown nobody to write, direct, and act in a movie?
And the script has to be finished within three days!

Although there were precedents in Hong Kong's film industry at that time for starting filming on set and writing scripts on the spot, Yin Tianchou still had to be cautious.

He was afraid that if he made a mistake and ruined the movie, he would be sent to be drowned by Wo Luen Shing, and then it would be too late to regret it.

"Mr. He, may I ask how much money you plan to invest in this project?"

"Let's wait until you finish the script first. I'll have someone do the budget based on your script."

However, I'm only planning to set aside ten million as start-up capital for the project for now. If the budget falls short later, you can contact me for more."

Yin Tianchou suddenly felt a buzzing in his head.

Ten million, and that's just the initial funding for the project!
If the big shot sitting across from you isn't drunk and just chatting with you, then you must be hallucinating.

The Hong Kong film industry had reached a golden age in this era, but it was rare for a film to have an investment of ten million Hong Kong dollars from the outset.

Yin Tianchou felt that if the movie wasn't made well, he might as well just jump off a rooftop.

Before he could respond, He Yaozong stuffed a business card into his hand.

"Remember to come to the Wo Tai Tea House in Sham Shui Po at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

I will have someone draft an agency contract for you, and then introduce you to a screenwriter who will write the script.

Once the contract is signed, you can work with them to meet the deadline.

Once you've finished the draft, remember to send it to me for a quick look. I have only one request: the Li family's rise to power must be accurately portrayed; no embellishment is allowed!

……

After their conversation, Yin Tianchou went downstairs and was completely bewildered when he saw Liu Piaopiao looking at him with great anticipation, as if he had just come out of a dream.

"Piao Piao, how...how did you convince Mr. He to invest in my film?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I never went to see Mr. He!"

As she spoke, Liu Piaopiao grabbed Yin Tianchou's arm and skipped out of the nightclub.

"Mr. He has agreed that I don't need to come to work anymore. Tian Chou, you must remember what you said: you were going to support me!"

Yin Tianchou merely chuckled in agreement, but had no interest in exchanging witty remarks with Liu Piaopiao at that moment.

After leaving the nightclub, Yin Tianchou did not hail a taxi, but instead led Liu Piaopiao for a stroll under the night sky at Tsuen Wan Plaza.

"Piaopiao, do you know what Mr. He just said to me?"

"I don't know, wasn't he going to invest in and promote your movie?"
"Hey, is this some kind of adult film?"

"At first I thought so too, but..."

In a daze, Yin Tianchou shook his head with a wry smile, deciding to end the topic.

"Mr. Ho left me his phone number and asked me to come to Sham Shui Po to see him tomorrow morning."

I don't quite understand. Mr. He and I are not related, so why is he taking such good care of me?

As he spoke, Yin Tianchou stopped in his tracks.

"Piaopiao, do you think Mr. He is just teasing me on purpose?"

"nerve!"

Liu Piaopiao rolled her eyes at Yin Tianchou, then laughed.

"The person in charge of Wo Luen Shing is not going to have time to deliberately try to amuse you."

Perhaps Mr. He has recognized your talent and taken a liking to you.

"But I always feel..."

"Okay, no more 'buts'. Whether I'm just messing with you or not, you'll find out when you go there tomorrow."

Come with me for a walk in Tsim Sha Tsui later, I'm so happy tonight!
-
Causeway Bay, Regal Hotel.

Li Zhikai leaned back on the sofa in the living room, watching TVB's interview with Li Yunlian on the television, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Assistant Noah walked over with a document in his hand.

"Mr. Li, the information has been collected."

The list of prominent figures from all the stalls in the Wo Luen Shing Ninth District is here.

Li Zhikai casually took the document, his smile widening.

"A gangster who is lucky enough to become the leader thinks he has become a phoenix on a branch."

He dares to talk back to the Li family on Hong Kong Island! Little does he know that in the eyes of the Li family, he's nothing more than a dog!

After receiving the document, Li Zhikai did not choose to look at it.

Instead, he turned to Noah and asked, "Just tell me, which of these names is the most suitable?"

Noah was somewhat embarrassed, but as a professional assistant, he only thought for a moment before answering.

"The Wo Luen Shing Society is a bit special. For decades, it has been holding elections in small circles, which has made each branch weak and ineffective."

The only one qualified to compete with Ho Yiu-chung is Big D from Tsuen Wan, but he has a deep asset partnership with Heng Yiu Properties, so promoting him to compete with Ho Yiu-chung is a bit unrealistic.

"Keep talking!"

Noah nodded, then said, "Mr. David Jordan from the Political Department recommended someone to me."

Lei Yue Mun's fish head logo is arguably the most promising prospect among the Wo Luen Shing FC's current holdings.

Li Zhikai couldn't help but become interested.

"Fish head brand? Never even heard of it!"
"Tell me about this fish head sign. What's it for?"

Noah seemed somewhat embarrassed: "Mr. Li, your second sister told me that it's best not to continue playing the tricks that the Li family used back then."

Hong Kong Island is about to undergo a major change in less than ten years. What you should be considering is how to safely transfer the Li family's assets overseas and safeguard the fundamentals of Hong Kong!

wow-

Li Zhikai was furious and swung his hand to knock the document to the ground.

Noah, don't forget who you are!

My second sister teaching me how to do things is one thing, but do you think you have the right to?!

Noah quickly shook his head: "Mr. Li, I'm doing this for the sake of your Li family..."

"Take your salary and do your job. When did it become your business to worry about the Li family's affairs?!"

Li Zhikai was greatly displeased. He stared at Noah for a long time before finally lowering his voice.

"Keep talking!"

Noah breathed a sigh of relief, but had no choice but to continue speaking.

"Fish Head Brand is a confidant of Xu Tian, ​​a heavyweight uncle of the He Lian Sheng family."

For years, they have been using the guise of selling seafood in Lei Yue Mun to smuggle heroin.

Mr. David told me that when it comes to promoting a reliable person to a position in a large triad like Wo Luen Shing, it's best not to consider how powerful the person being promoted is.

The stronger something is, the harder it is to control.

Rather, those who engage in this kind of business should ideally exploit his weaknesses.

Li Zhikai nodded in deep agreement: "That makes sense. It really doesn't matter whether he has the ability or not. Our Li family can still push him to the top!"

Please find some time to arrange a meeting with this guy named Yu Tou Biao; I'd like to talk to him in person.

“Mr. Li, Mr. David has already thought it all out for you.”

Instead of you personally going to invite him here for a no-brainer, it would be better for Mr. David to take this guy to the political department's safe house for a face-to-face meeting. There's an old saying in the Chinese community—"They won't shed tears until they see the coffin." Those who rise to the top in these organizations are all very cunning; they won't cooperate sincerely unless you teach them a lesson first.

Having a quick-witted assistant makes things much easier and less stressful.

A smile returned to Li Zhikai's face.

“Then let’s do as Mr. David says. We’ve been neglecting Bearded Yung from the Number Gang in the New Territories. That guy is no longer on our side.”

"Our Li family should get a dog again to do some work!"

Just as Li Zhikai waved for Noah to leave so he could rest, Noah spoke up again.

“Mr. Li, Mr. David asked me to tell you that, to avoid any unforeseen complications, he can get things done for you tonight.”

If you're not too tired right now, you can head to Victoria Peak later to meet that guest from Wo Luen Shing.

Li Zhikai was stunned: "What's going on? The political department seems to be even more anxious than we are!"

“That’s right, Mr. Li. You’ve spent less time in Hong Kong these past few years, so there are many things you don’t know.”

Since the imprisonment of Four-Eyed Dragon from the New Journalists Association two years ago, the Special Branch has been working to build its influence and gain a foothold in major triads on Hong Kong Island.

These people rose to power under the British Hong Kong government, and the Special Branch will absolutely not stand idly by while they change their ways years later.

"I see. It's just sharing a chamber pot with the British, which isn't a bad thing."

Go and say hello to Mr. David. I'll visit him at Victoria Peak later once he gets the person.

Since he's in such a hurry, let's get it done as soon as possible!

Li Zhikai not only felt no pressure, but also seemed somewhat smug, completely unaware that the Political Department was using his own money to do things for them.

Noah simply responded without saying a word, then turned around and shook his head imperceptibly.

No wonder the Li family has refused to hand over major businesses to Li Zhikai for so many years; this guy is actually quite pleased with himself for being able to share a chamber pot with the British.

Little did they know, the Li family was the biggest chamber pot under the British's bed back then!

11:30 p.m., Lei Yue Mun.

It was late at night, but Yu Tou Biao was still playing mahjong with a few henchmen in a private room at Lao Ji Mahjong Parlor.

"Airplane, what's wrong with your mother tonight?"

"How many rounds have we gone through? You never seem to win with a hand you could have won with. You can't win yourself, and you don't even know how to feed me the right tiles!"

Fish Head Brand seemed a little absent-minded. Suddenly, he pushed over the half-finished 'Great Wall' and asked his lead plane.

The plane couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly: "Boss, tonight I'm just like you, thinking about other things."

Upon hearing this, the two younger brothers who were playing cards immediately understood and got up to leave the card table.

After the two younger brothers left and closed the door, Fish Head Biao tapped his watch and began to question Airplane.

"What's going on? It's already 11:05 and the dock hasn't called yet?"

"Boss, I already called and asked half an hour ago."

They're transferring goods at the Triangle Wharf; it's calm there, so nothing should happen, right?

"What do you mean by 'should'? This is not something to be taken lightly."
Call me right now and go to the ship to ask what's going on. I finally managed to get my hands on this batch of Double Lion globe markers!

Whatever happened, all the business we've done in the past six months will be for nothing!

Fish Head Brand seemed a bit impatient; the seller, Miss Bai, trusted his intuition the most.

For some reason, he felt uneasy tonight.

"it is good!"

Without suspecting anything, the plane got up and picked up the old mobile phone that was lying on the mahjong table.

Just as I was about to press the number, I saw the tightly closed door of the private room being pushed open again.

Standing at the door were the two henchmen who had just gone out.

The fish head logo couldn't help but ignite a fire.

"Damn it! Who told you guys to..."

"Sorry! I'm the one who asked them to open the door!"

Before Yu Tou could finish speaking, a blond, blue-eyed foreigner flashed past behind the two henchmen.

Pushing aside the two young men with troubled expressions, the foreigner waved his hand, and immediately a squad of plainclothes police officers armed with .38 pistols rushed into the room.

Fish Head Biao sat blankly in the chair, his lips slightly parted, feeling a chill run down his spine.

The middle-aged foreigner walked up to the fish head sign and sneered.

“We seized a fishing boat at the Lei Yue Mun pier.”

We would like to ask you to come back with us and cooperate with our investigation.

"By the way, do I need to show you my ID?"

Fish Head's mind was in complete disarray, but he still vehemently denied it.

"You have to catch a thief red-handed, what evidence do you have?"

"Look, I haven't even said what was found on the ship, and you've already confessed!"

This foreigner was clearly prepared. He winked at several armed police officers, and immediately someone stepped forward with handcuffs.

At the same time, the foreigner added, "Unfortunately, the person who will be driving the boat for you tonight is an informant from our political department!"

"We have both witnesses and physical evidence. Whatever you have to say, come back with me and we'll talk!"

Inside a heavily guarded safe house in the mid-mountain area of ​​Taipingshan.

Fish Head was locked in a stuffy room, looking extremely frustrated.

He regretted being tempted by the cheap Double Lion globe logos shipped from Thailand. He knew that dealing with strangers would never end well, but he couldn't resist the urge to take a gamble.

This time, the gambling really caused a huge problem.

He simply didn't understand the principle that one can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days.

The political department has its eye on him. As long as he continues to gain followers, it's a certainty that he'll be targeted and killed!

wow-

The heavy iron door of the safe house was pushed open.

Standing in front of him was a foreign police superintendent in his forties with a slightly balding head.

After entering, the foreigner sat down in the interrogation seat opposite the fish head sign.

"Sir, we have finished counting the cargo on your ship."

A total of 13,221 grams of high-purity heroin. Congratulations! This amount is enough to earn you the same treatment as Crippled Ho back in the day!

When the foreigner recited that string of numbers, Yu Tou Biao felt both heartache and despair.

He spent nearly four million yuan to acquire this batch of goods, which emptied most of his savings.

Before they even saw the goods, the police raided the entire place.

There's no need to mention despair; with the Political Department handling the case personally, he'll likely spend the rest of his life in prison until he's on the verge of death.

After the foreigner finished speaking, he fell silent. He crossed his arms and just stared at Fish Head Mark like a cat playing with a mouse, letting Fish Head Mark quietly experience despair.

dong dong dong-

The heavy iron gate was knocked on again.

Seeing that it was almost time, the foreigner immediately got up and opened the iron door of the safe house.

Standing at the door was Li Zhikai, who had rushed over under the cover of night.

"Mr. David, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

“Li, you can even have a cup of tea outside before coming in.”

I think this guy is about to completely break down in less than a minute.

"Then I've come at a really bad time."

"It's alright, go ahead, go and bring him the light of hope."

Like a priest saving a lost lamb, pull this poor man back from despair!

David patted Li Zhikai on the shoulder, gave him a knowing smile, and then walked straight out of the safe house.

Li Zhikai followed him into the safe house, closed the door, suppressed his smile, and turned his gaze to Yu Tou Biao.

Fish Head's gaze met his; the conversation between the two had left him somewhat puzzled.

But he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Fish head logo?"

"Who are you?!"

"Is this how you talk to the person who came to rescue you late at night? How rude!"

"you can help me?"

A glimmer of hope appeared on Yu Tou Biao's face as he watched Li Zhikai sit down in the seat the foreigner had been sitting in.

Li Zhikai sneered: "Consider yourself lucky. Not only can I rescue you, but I also intend to give you a life of wealth and honor."

Let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Zhikai, and I'm the head of the development department at Hysan Development.

Fish Head's pupils contracted sharply. If what the other party said was true, then someone of this caliber... was indeed qualified to rescue him?
Immediately, Yu Tou Biao's attitude became respectful.

"Mr. Li, why...why are you helping me?"
