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

Chapter 301 "301" Peacemaker
Shao Yifu himself lacked martial ethics and took the lead in using underhanded tactics.

Lin Yao didn't need to be polite to him at all.

Don't forget what he does.

Since the media wasn't effective, they resorted to underhanded tactics.

Therefore, Shao Yifu's company employees, especially some of his close associates, have been constantly harassed recently.

People often come to the film company and TVB's theaters to collect protection money.

Moreover, it wasn't just one or two triads, but many triads, including Wo Luen Shing, were targeting Shao Yifu.

Don't be fooled by Shao Yifu's impressive achievements; he even holds a knighthood.

However, it's basically useless against gangsters.

Many of the triads that collaborate with Lam Yiu are targeting people at TVB.

A TVB drama is being filmed right now.

We had just set up the equipment and were about to start filming.

A group of people just swaggered in.

"Where's your manager? Call him out!" the gang leader said directly to the director in front of him.

"Boss, is there some misunderstanding? We're from TVB!" the director said with a forced smile to the gangster, and respectfully offered him a cigarette.

But the gangster didn't even glance at it, threw the cigarette on the ground, and said coldly, "Don't give me that. Call your manager over here."

Soon the producer of the TV series rushed over.

Seeing that this group of thugs clearly didn't look like someone to mess with, the producer quickly said, "We've already paid the protection fee!"

"You handed it over?" the gangster said with a sneer. "Who did you hand it over to?"

"Since this is Hung Hing territory, we'll naturally hand it over to the Hung Hing people!" the producer quickly said. "Give us some face, we'll cover the brothers' cigarette and tea expenses!"

As he spoke, the producer took out a wad of cash, ready to hand it over to the gangsters.

The gangster sneered and said, "Do you think we're beggars? Who do you think you are with such a small amount of money?"

"Brothers, smash their mess!"

As soon as they spoke, the group of thugs holding steel pipes and baseball bats immediately became excited.

They started getting restless, directly targeting the filming equipment and the crew behind the scenes.

Seeing this, the producer was startled and quickly said, "Wait, boss, let's talk this over, let's talk this over!"

"Now you know how to talk properly?" the gangster said with a sneer. "Three hundred thousand, hand over the money and we're leaving immediately!"

Upon hearing what the gangster said, the producer immediately looked pained.

However, considering the equipment used for filming on site and the casualties, 300,000 was just the limit for him.

The producer gritted his teeth and said to his assistant, "Go and get 300,000!"

The gangster immediately laughed: "That's right, let's not hurt each other's feelings."

"If you're filming here in the future, just mention my name, Dongguan Boy, and I guarantee you'll be fine!"

Upon hearing that the other party was not going to take action, the producer immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The money arrived quickly, and the producer respectfully cleared away the group of pests.

Although the production team suffered significant losses, it was the best choice after weighing the pros and cons.

However, this matter certainly cannot be left unresolved, after all, he has already paid money to the Hung Hing people.

So they immediately summoned the Hung Hing members.

This territory belonged to the dinosaurs, and when the dinosaurs heard about it, they immediately came over.

Upon learning that the producer had given the money to Dongguan Boy, Dinosaur snorted and said, "Since you've already paid, why did you call me over?"

The producer was immediately dumbfounded: "Huh?"

"Don't you even know the rules?" Dinosaur said irritably. "If you run into trouble, you should come to me to solve it. What do you mean by giving them money now? Are you planning to hire two consultants from the film set?"

The producer said in a panic, "Dinosaur Bro, that's not what I meant!"

"Then what the hell do you mean?" Dinosaur said coldly, "If you run into trouble, I can naturally help you sort it out, but now you've given the other party money, which is equivalent to hiring two gangs to vouch for you. Are you saying you look down on my ability to resolve things, Dinosaur?"

"Then why did you call me here? You can decide for yourself what you want to do!"

After finishing his sentence, the dinosaur led his men away, completely ignoring the producer who was chasing after him.

The producer was on the verge of tears, not knowing what to do.

He even suspected that he had been set up.

Actually, what the producer said was quite right; he was indeed set up.

But the one who set it up was Jimmy.

He arranged for the Dongguan guy to extort money from the film crew, and he also notified them in advance about the dinosaur, who was just there to make a show of it.

"Thank you so much, Dinosaur Bro!" Jimmy smiled and shook hands with Dinosaur.

Dinosaur waved his hand and said, "No problem, call me more often for these kinds of good things! Besides, Yao and I are brothers, so naturally we're brothers too. If a brother needs help, no problem at all!" After saying goodbye, Dinosaur left.

A moment later, Dongguan Boy ran over, placed 300,000 yuan on the table, and said to Jimmy, "Brother Jimmy, the matter is settled!"

"Not bad, he's definitely one of Dapuhei's most capable men!" Jimmy said with a smile. "Take this money back and divide it among the brothers!"

Hearing that Jimmy was so generous, Dongguan Boy and the others were very happy: "Thank you, Brother Jimmy!"

"Don't worry about that, the dinosaurs won't cause you any trouble. I've already spoken to them!" Jimmy said with a sneer. "Anyway, as long as this crew is filming in the New Territories, you can give them a good beating!"

The Dongguan guy grinned mischievously and said, "Jimmy, this is something I'm an expert at!"

……

Such incidents continue to occur, and they have significantly impacted the normal operation of TVB.

Sometimes, even when reporters are filming on the street, they may be "accidentally" bumped by these gangsters, resulting in damage to their cameras.

You have to understand that cameras back then weren't the kind you could hold in your hand. They were all bulky machines that cameramen carried on their shoulders.

Repairing any damage caused by an impact can be quite expensive.

TV dramas, news, and some regular TVB programs have all been harassed to varying degrees.

If Fang Yihua still can't realize that someone is deliberately targeting her, then she's wasted all these years as TVB's CEO.

Fang Yihua had considered calling the police directly and having these troublemakers arrested.

But it's basically useless.

After all, the police were only arresting ordinary henchmen; they arrested more than a dozen in one day.

However, things did not improve at all, which almost brought the entire TVB to a standstill.

Fang Yihua angrily found the police chief and accused him of incompetence.

However, the police said quite innocently, "Ms. Fang, you asked us to arrest people, and we did. We responded very quickly in almost all cases. How can you say that we didn't do our job?"

Fang Yihua was so angry she almost fainted. She slammed her fist on the table and roared, "Then why isn't things getting any better?"

The police chief said calmly, "That's beyond our control! You should know very well that it's not that we're not doing our job, but some things are simply not our concern!"

"To put it bluntly, what does your battle of wits have to do with the police? The one who tied the knot must untie it!"

After saying that, the police chief ignored Fang Yihua's unpleasant expression and got up to leave.

Fang Yihua was completely stunned and had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Shao Yifu about it.

After hearing this, Shao Yifu's expression also turned sour.

He had just conspired with some people to get Lin Yao into the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), and the retaliation immediately followed.

It would be strange if this hadn't happened with Lin Yao's arm.

He used legitimate methods to mess with Lin Yao, so Lin Yao retaliated using underworld methods.

Both sides are evenly matched.

However, Shao Yifu didn't have Lin Yao's ability to operate in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and he didn't have any gang members he could use.

However, even if there were such a person, they could not compare to Lin Yao.

After all, Lin Yao was originally a member of the Wo Luen Shing organization, although he was no longer the head of the Yau Ma Tei branch.

But it still had a name on the Wo Luen Shing label.

Moreover, he has business dealings with many triads, so taking down TVB is just a matter of a word.

Even if Shao Yifu sought help from people in the martial arts world, the results would certainly not be as good as Lin Yao's.

And don't forget, Lin Yao also has the powerful weapon of a security company.

Let alone gangsters, even those Hong Kong and Guangdong police officers who dare to exchange fire with the police in the street are not necessarily a match for the security guards of Lin Yao's security company.

Now, Shao Yifu has finally calmed down and even regrets provoking such a troublesome guy as Lin Yao.

Now, Shao Yifu's tricks have all failed, and the legitimate authorities can't do anything to Lin Yao.

He received news that Lin Yao had swaggered out of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

The ensuing retaliation will surely be like a raging storm.

"By the way, Yifu, I heard that Lin Yao has a pretty good relationship with people back home. Why don't you try using those connections?" Fang Yihua suddenly said to Shao Yifu.

Shao Yifu's eyes lit up: "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"

Shao Yifu immediately became excited and picked up the phone to dial a number.

Meanwhile, Lin Yao, who had just returned to his company, was thinking about how to make Shao Yifu pay.

Suddenly I received a call from an unknown number.

"Hey Yao, it's me, Leopard! Got some time? Want to grab some tea?" Leopard's voice came through the phone.

Lin Yao was somewhat surprised. Why was the big circle leopard suddenly appearing? What was it planning to do?
However, Lin Yao soon realized that Shao Yifu seemed to have been making plans for his hometown ever since the Joint Statement.

Over the years, they have donated a lot of money there. If I'm not mistaken, they must have asked people from their hometown to act as peacemakers!
