Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 300 "300" Makes You a Meddler

For example, the subsequent Ten Great Cases series, the Heroic Film series, and the Hong Kong and Guangdong Flag Soldiers series were all written by Lao Li.

In addition to Gao Gang's kung fu film series and Lin Yao's series of new martial arts films, Guangyao Film Company has transformed from a penniless small company into a giant in Hong Kong's film and television production industry.

This level of skill is indeed much better than what he did as the news gathering director at ATV.

Producer Lao Li applied his previous work experience to filmmaking, sparking tremendous creativity.

No wonder he looked down on a position in ATV's news department.

Lin Yao didn't insist on this. Since the other party could make his company money, he didn't take advantage of Lao Li's position.

As for what happens next, we'll talk about that later.

For a period of time afterward, it seemed that Guangyao Film Company was at odds with Shaw Brothers.

Whenever Shaw Brothers releases a film, Guangyao Film Company will immediately follow suit with its own.

They relentlessly pursued and attacked Shaw Brothers films.

The market in Hong Kong was not large to begin with, and sometimes it even had to rely on the market in Taiwan to make a profit.

The films produced by Guangyao Film Company were of a much higher quality than the shoddy productions of Shaw Brothers.

This resulted in film distributors in Yizhou not even giving Shaw Brothers' movies a second glance.

As for domestic box office, it goes without saying that it was completely suppressed by Guangyao Film Company's films.

This combination of punches left Fang Yihua completely disoriented, with no idea where to even begin to defend herself.

As for the inspection point that Shao Yifu previously created to hinder progress...

After receiving substantial benefits from Lin Yao, they refused to cooperate with their work.

In just a few months, Shaw Brothers' market value shrank by a single digit.

This really hurt them.

Shao Yifu had not expected that Lin Yao, this young junior, would be so ruthless.

Just because Shaw Brothers were meddling in other people's business?
Clearly, Lin Yao's ambitions extended beyond revenge against Shao Yifu; he was also laying the groundwork for his own large entertainment conglomerate.

Lin Yao didn't take Lin Baixin's plans seriously.

The old guys from the same generation as Shao Yifu can't produce things that young people in the new era like.

In Lin Yao's view, Lin Baixin's failure was only a matter of time.

The second part was about crippling Shaw Brothers, further expanding the influence of his entertainment plans.

By the third step, by integrating all the resources at his disposal, there should be no company in Hong Kong that can compare with him.

At that time, many of my big plans can be implemented.

Indeed, Lin Yao's actions were not simply motivated by revenge.

However, the old man Shao Yifu didn't pay much attention to it. He felt that Lin Yao, this young man, was trying to deceive him and ambush him, which made Shao Yifu quite angry.

They even resorted to some underhanded tactics to make Lin Yao look bad.

Lin Yao's development over the past few years has blocked the path of many people.

With Shao Yifu taking the lead, his call was met with overwhelming support.

As a result, what started as a minor friction escalated into a major conflict.

Both sides seemed determined to fight to the death.

……

"A fight to the death? Does Shao Yifu even deserve that?"

Lin Yao was quite dismissive of this matter.

Liang Xiaotang said helplessly, "Anyway, we're likely to encounter a lot of trouble, both overt and covert, recently!"

Lin Yao said with a sneer, "The business world is no different from being a gangster."

"If you just focus on one person and hit them hard enough, the time will be much easier!"

No one is more familiar with this matter than Lin Yao.

Since Shao Yifu wants to play, Lin Yao doesn't mind playing along to the end.

Subsequently, the magazine "Jianghu" began to expose more scandals, such as the affair between Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua.

Normally, no one would dare to touch something like this, but now that the two sides have almost completely broken off relations, Lin Yao doesn't need to worry about so much anymore.

Anyway, Lin Yao is now relying on his physique to beat Shao Yifu to death.

For a time, Shao Yifu's reputation in Hong Kong was absolutely terrible.

Not only that, Lin Yao also poached several senior producers from TVB.

The salary and bonuses alone are enough to entice these people.

Once you've tasted the finest delicacies from outside, who would still be interested in TVB's sloppy food?

Lin Yao had originally planned to expand the production department of his film and television company, which would have been a win-win situation.

Shao Yifu's methods were also quite sophisticated; all of Lin Yao's companies were audited.

In particular, several finance and financial companies have been accused of money laundering.

The Economic Crime Investigation Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) were keeping a close eye on Lin Yao. The ICAC even went so far as to invite Lin Yao to their headquarters for a cup of their famous "Old ICAC Coffee."

……

"Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with the coffee?" A young man walked in and said to Lin Yao with a smile.

Lin Yao said calmly, "I've heard for a long time that Lao Lian's coffee smells like poop! I don't have pica!"

"Mr. Lin, please don't be so resistant!" the young man said as he sat down.

Lin Yao glanced at the name on the other person's identification and immediately laughed: "Lu Zhilian, Chief Investigator of the Independent Commission Against Corruption? Nice name!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lin!" Lu Zhilian said with a smile. "I know Mr. Lin is a very busy person, so let's get straight to the point!"

"Based on our report, your Fenghua International and several finance companies are suspected of money laundering. What is your explanation?"

Lin Yao said dismissively, "Explain? What's there to explain?"

"All my accounts can withstand scrutiny; I don't need to explain anything to anyone!"

"I doubt it!" At this moment, an investigator from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) said directly, "Shen Xianyao, you have so many casinos in Macau, and recently you've also set up so many gambling ships. Who would believe you if you said you didn't launder money!"

Lin Yao immediately laughed: "Director Lu, I advise you to tell your colleagues to be careful what they say, or they could easily get into legal trouble! Your Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) may have a special status, but that doesn't mean you're immune to legal issues!"

"Casinos and gambling ships are all operating legally and have been approved by the Macau government. I don't think this has much to do with your Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in Hong Kong, right? If you have any questions, you might as well ask the Macau government."

Lu Zhilian quickly held down his colleague and then shook his head.

Such statements cannot be made without evidence, and issues involving Macau are simply beyond the scope of the Independent Commission Against Corruption's (ICAC) jurisdiction.

This young colleague is too impulsive and too eager for quick success.

Lin Yao smiled faintly and said, "I've already given the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) enough face by cooperating with your investigation. I believe you've already investigated the companies under my name, including those charitable foundations, right? There aren't any problems, are there?"

"I believe your superiors are well aware of what's really going on. I'm just here to go through the motions. Don't let them use you as a pawn; that won't do your Independent Commission Against Corruption any good!"

The young investigator was not convinced by Lin Yao's earnest words, but Lu Zhilian was clearly much more mature than him.

He received the message with a smile: "According to the regulations, you have to stay here for forty-eight hours!"

Lin Yao nodded and said without ceremony, "Help me switch this thing out, I want to drink Longjing tea!"

"Haha, if I had known you didn't like this stuff, I would have changed your tea!" Lu Zhilian said with a laugh.

After leaving the building, the young investigator said to Lu Zhilian, "Director, why are you being so polite to Lin Yao? He was clearly involved in the Fenghua International case!"

Lu Zhilian said calmly, "Then why did you bring up the matter of Haojiang?"

"Huh?" The investigator was completely bewildered: "Can't I mention it?"

"Of course not!" Lu Zhilian rolled his eyes and said, "The moment you brought it up, today's inquiry is ruined!"

"You have to understand that Lin Yao is not a government official, so ordinary tactics won't work on him!"

"Besides, it's all been said in the document that this is just for show. Didn't I tell you that before?"

"Luckily, Lin Yao knew it wasn't the ICAC trying to get him, otherwise you would have been in deep trouble!"

The investigator said unhappily, "It's because I mentioned the Macau issue!"

“That’s right!” Lu Zhilian said bluntly, “This will drag our investigation into a quagmire, and we’ll not only find nothing, but we’ll also get ourselves into a lot of trouble!”

"Go back and write me a self-criticism, and think about it carefully!"

"Oh!" The investigator nodded dejectedly and left.

Lu Zhilian replaced the cup with a Longjing tea and placed it in front of Lin Yao: "Mr. Lin, you've offended quite a few people lately!"

“I know!” Lin Yao said calmly, “It’s just that I don’t have the ability to get the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) to come after me!”

"I originally thought the people who came would be from the Commercial Crime Investigation Department!"

"Hehe, maybe their car is waiting outside too!" Lu Zhilian said with a smile.

Lin Yao said calmly, "But they don't have the guts to let me stay here for forty-eight hours!"

Lu Zhilian said with a smile, "It's all just for show. I hope Mr. Lin can understand!"

"I hope so!" Lin Yao said with a sneer.

The people who took action this time must be of high rank, as they are from both the Commercial Crime Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

However, Lin Yao didn't have any leverage for them to use against him.

Even if they wanted to arrest him, they definitely wouldn't be able to do so in Hong Kong.

As for Macau or overseas, their reach doesn't extend that far.

Therefore, Lin Yao was not afraid of them at all.

Once I get out, none of these people will be able to leave.

Lin Yao is not the kind of person who just takes a beating without fighting back.

His own men were also relentlessly pursuing and attacking Shao Yifu.

Even their methods have been upgraded; don't forget what Lin Yao's background is.

So while Lin Yao was being invited to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) for questioning, Shao Yifu was also in a difficult situation.
