Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 114 The Fickle Man

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"What do you mean?"

"Didn't they say she didn't have a boyfriend?"

"How come another one comes along who doesn't know who they love?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Most women who are out in the world like bad men, right?"

“Hongyi’s top brother hurt her the most, so naturally she both loved and hated him.”

"Bozi may have had thoughts of rekindling his relationship with Brother Yi."

Liang Kun confirmed:
"So that means she doesn't have a boyfriend right now?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"That's right!"

Snapped!
Handsome Kun clapped his hands and said:
"She is your sister-in-law."

what?
The Way of the King:

"Brother Kun, did I not explain it clearly enough?"

"Bozi has someone else in her heart."

Handsome Kun spat:
"Why do I care if she has someone else in her heart?"

"All I need to know is that she doesn't have anyone else in her heart right now."

"Who the hell wants her heart? I want her body!"

"With her by his side, how could her heart possibly wander?"

"If all else fails, we'll wipe out Hong Yi!"

Wang Dao gives a thumbs up:
"Kun is awesome!"

He really does have the qualifications to do that.

Although Hong Yi also shares the Hong surname, their strength is not even comparable to that of a single branch of Hong Xing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been targeted by Luo Wei, an ordinary leader of the Dongxing Hall.

Wang Dao sighed:

"Brother Kun, you're the CEO of Qiankun Film and Television now. You have status, money, and position, and plenty of women to choose from."

Why would you choose a rebellious woman?

"Don't you think so, Ah Jie?"

Li Jie nodded quickly.

Neither of them had a good impression of the "gangster girl".

Lam Kwan waved his hand:
"You don't understand this."

"I fell in love with her at first sight when she smiled."

"I fucking love her smile. At that moment, it was as if a hundred flowers were blooming, and she was incredibly beautiful."

Wang Dao said to Li Jie expressionlessly:

"Ruined."

"Brother Kun has stopped focusing on physical attraction and started focusing on emotional connection!"

Li Jie was speechless.

Lam Kwan waved his hand:
"I just love these wild, thorny roses; I can't appreciate the rose bush."

His expression suddenly changed.
Are you guys even brothers?

Wang Dao nodded:
"Yes!"

Liang Kun said seriously:
"If you're a true brother, help me win her over."

Kingly Way Claps:
"alright."

“You called me here under the pretext of ‘something came up at the company,’ so I should indeed do something.”

"Let's go!"

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"what?"

The Way of the King does not understand the Way:
"Weren't you going to pick up girls?"

Liang Kun was even more surprised:

"Just like that?"

Wang Dao rolled his eyes:
"How else can we get there?"

"You're a big shot in the underworld, not some innocent virgin."

"Does this mean we should imitate young boys' romantic dates under the moon?"

“That Bozi isn’t an ordinary little girl. She started hanging out with a gangster when she was sixteen.”

"Does someone like that even know what romance is?"

"Those rebellious girls all admire strength. To be direct, you go for her, and I'll take care of the rest for you."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily and clapped his hands, saying:

"He truly is a good brother."

"Walk."

Upon hearing the news, Li Fu rushed over and joined in. When he heard that they were helping Liang Kun pick up girls, his expression was particularly interesting.

Liang Kun felt a warmth in his heart:
"That's what brothers are all about."

"When you meet the right girl, I'll help you find her too."

Wang Dao chuckled coldly.

"No need, I already have Ah Zhen."

Li Jie and Li Fu both shook their heads.

The former said:

"I still think my wife is the most beautiful."

The latter also said,
"I don't like girls who are violent."

Liang Kun scoffed.
"You three really don't know how to appreciate things."

Wang Dao said to the two of them:
"If you meet the right girl, I will definitely give you a big red envelope when you get married."

Li Fu shook his head:
"I don't want a red envelope. All I want now is to build a big house for my mom in the countryside."

Wang Daoqi said:

"The money you sent back should be enough to build a villa, right?"

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
Is 30,000 yuan enough to build a villa?

Wang Dao shrugged:

“You don’t understand. In the countryside of Afghanistan, a family with 10,000 yuan is considered extremely wealthy.”

"Their firewood and water cost only 300 a month, and that's only for the top-tier workers."

Handsome Kun immediately said:
"Hurry up and build a villa for your old mother. If you don't have enough money, come to me for it."

Li Fu said:

"I still have money here."

"Actually, Brother Dao is right. The money I sent back is enough to build a house."

"But my mother can't bear to build it."

He said he was saving money for me to get married.

"And this is too much money."

"I don't dare to send any more back."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Didn't you tell your mother this is all the money you earn in a year?"

Li Fu smiled wryly:
"How else can we say it?"

Wang Dao sighed:

"Then don't even think about sending money this year."

But Liang Kun sighed:
"Parents' hearts are always full of love and concern. Even when the elderly have money, they are reluctant to spend it, wanting their children and grandchildren to have a better life."

“Afu, you really should find a girl to settle down with when you have time, so that the elders can rest easy.”

Wang Dao mocked:
“Afu, you can learn from Brother Kun how to be filial to the elderly.”

"However, you don't need to learn how to pick up girls."

"He's clearly a wealthy and powerful businessman, yet he insists on dating a shrew."

Handsome Kun was furious:
"I like this one, what do you think?"

Li Fu quickly said:
"Brother Dao, I told you, I don't like all that fighting and killing."

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"You guys just don't understand."

"Spare the rod and spoil the child; couples should keep things interesting with each other."

Wang Dao was truly speechless:
"Brother Kun, we haven't won that girl over yet."

Liang Kun sneered:
"Once she catches my eye, can I let her have her way?"

Wang Dao secretly shook his head.

With his current abilities, Liang Kun could easily find a respectable woman to settle down with.

He simply didn't understand his own identity at all, so he subconsciously started choosing from among the troublesome girls.

The goldfish in the nightclub were his first target.

Wang Dao was starting to regret it. Had he pushed Liang Kun too far?

If things were a bit more relaxed, who knows which business partner might be willing to marry their daughter to Handsome Kun.

However, now that things have come to this, Wang Dao will not dawdle.

Who knows if those two will actually spark a romance when they get together?

He still needs Liang Kun to cover for him, and he doesn't want anything to happen to Liang Kun.

Wang Dao's principle for working undercover is simple: treat people with sincerity.

Since Leung Kwan doesn't gain fans anyway, he's not his target. In that case, letting Leung Kwan go further is more in his own interest.

Therefore, when Wang Dao handles matters, he truly prioritizes Liang Kun's interests, and naturally, he is increasingly valued by Liang Kun.

Even though Wang Dao tried to stop him several times this time, Liang Kun knew that Wang Dao was really doing it for his own good.

The other party genuinely believed that he should marry a woman from a prestigious family.

Liang Kun felt very insecure.

He, a man who had just graduated from university, married a woman from a prestigious family.

Which woman would want to marry him?

Which family would dare to make such a decision?

Aren't you afraid they'll turn on you and make you look bad?

Compared to that, the "gangster girl" is more comfortable.

Since we're all in the same boat anyway, and our thoughts are largely the same, why not just find a rebellious girl?

This is what Young Kun truly thinks.

Wang Dao thought for a moment and smiled:
"Brother Kun, if you successfully win over Bozi and make her our sister-in-law, I'll give you a red envelope."

Handsome Kun clapped his hands and said:
"You're Brother Dao, if the red envelope isn't big enough, I won't agree."

Wang Dao coldly snorted:
"If I take action, it will certainly be in keeping with your dignity."

"How about a 1,000-square-foot mansion?"

Liang Kun pouted:
“A thousand-square-foot mansion depends on the location. In places like Kowloon in the New Territories, even a thousand-square-foot mansion is only worth a maximum of HK$100,000.”

"That's the suburbs, that's called a mansion?"

Wang Dao chuckled.

"You underestimate me, don't you?"

"From Repulse Bay!"

Liang Kun sat up straight immediately:
"From Repulse Bay?"

"Is it really a thousand-square-foot mansion?"

"Can you see Victoria Harbour?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"Of course!"

Liang Kun gritted his teeth and said:
“If you can really get a house in such a good location, I won’t let you pay for it; I’ll just buy it from you directly.”

Wang Dao shrugged:

"It's just a house."

Handsome Kun was so angry he laughed:

"You're so arrogant. It's just one house. Houses in Repulse Bay are priceless and have no market."

"Especially the luxury homes along the sea, countless people are fighting tooth and nail for them!"

Wang Dao smiled confidently and said, "Leave it to me!"

Liang Kun asked suspiciously:
"You really can get your hands on it?"

After thinking for a moment, he said,

"If you really have the connections to get your hands on it, I'll buy it from you at a fair price!"

Wang Dao gave him a strange look.
"A word is settled!"

Liang Kun looked at him suspiciously:
"Do you have connections?"

Wang Daoqing cleared his throat and smiled:
"I'm just lucky!"

A sudden thought struck Liang Kun:
"You really have properties available?"

Wang Daoli nodded naturally.
"Of course!"

Suddenly, Liang Kun's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Wang Dao in disbelief:

"You called earlier and said you were looking at houses with Ah Zhen?"

Wang Dao nodded again:

"That's right, it's a luxury mansion in Repulse Bay."

Liang Kun suddenly slapped him:
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go take a look!"

Wang Dao was taken aback and said:
"Aren't we going to go pick up girls?"

Liang Kun pouted:
"Why can't you pick up girls at any time? Why do you have to go now?"

"hurry up!"

Wang Dao shrugged and instructed Li Jie:
"Ah Jie, change course and go to Repulse Bay."

So the group actually went to Repulse Bay.

The Way of the King:

"Brother Kun, how big do you want?"

Liang Kun said incredulously:
"Can I still choose?"

Wang Dao explained:
"I was lucky; I found a newly built building."

"Most importantly, they are all located on the coast."

How big do you want?

"We have all sizes available."

"What do you mean by 600 feet, 800 feet, 1,000 feet, or even 10,000 feet... it all depends on your needs."

Liang Kun's eyes almost popped out of their sockets:
"You changed careers?"

The Kingly Way is inexplicable:

"My Qiankun Film and Television business is doing just fine, why would I want to change careers?"

Liang Kun asked in bewilderment:
"Then how do you have such a good property for sale?"

Wang Dao explained:
“I was lucky to meet a boss who was stuck with his money, and he asked me to sell the house as soon as possible.”

"Otherwise, he would not only go bankrupt, but could also be killed."

"To be honest, if there hadn't been a shortage of time, he would have sold it to a competitor."

"But his competitors all knew his situation, and they all lowered the market price."

"If we can't sell them again, our competitors will really buy them at a low price and then slowly accumulate them to cash out."

"As you know, houses in good locations are easy to sell."

"It will gradually appreciate in value over time."

Liang Kun's eyes widened:
"Then you're very lucky."

Li Fu sighed:
"Dao Ge's luck goes beyond just being good; you guys forgot, he can find money just by stepping outside..."

Handsome Kun clapped his hands and said:
"Yeah!"

"Every now and then, I either find a gold watch or a lottery ticket."

"That's really good luck."

"By the way, Adao, what kind of house have you guys settled on?"

Wang Dao did not hide anything from him:

"A large, single-level apartment!"

Handsome Kun's eyes almost popped out:

"A 10,000-square-foot penthouse?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"Yup!"

Liang Kun was extremely envious:

Do you have enough money to buy a house?

Wang Dao speaks the truth:

"No, not really, but I don't spend money either."

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"A 10,000-square-foot penthouse without spending any money?"

Wang Daoli fabricated lies with righteous indignation:

"That's for sure."

"If I sell a building for that guy, doesn't he give me a commission?"

"But he didn't have any cash, so he had to use the house to pay off his debts."

"He's not at a disadvantage!"

Will Long Fei suffer a loss? Of course he will.

The house he painstakingly acquired through various connections was never lived in before he passed away, and it was all taken away the moment he closed his eyes.

I wonder if his coffin lid will be able to hold him down?

What? He was cremated?
That's all!
Liang Kun exclaimed in surprise:
"So, you can get all the good positions?"

Wang Daoxian gave Liang Kun a heads-up:

"I've reserved a room on the 18th floor of this building. If you're interested, Brother Kun, I'll save one for you."

"The remaining auspicious numbers are 28, 19, 16, 9, 8, and 6."

Young Kun waved excitedly:

"If there's a good location, the building number can be ignored, since there's no fourth floor anyway, right?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"There is no fourth floor, nor fourteenth floor, nor twenty-fourth floor."

Handsome Kun clapped his hands and said:
"The more you talk about it, the more excited I get. Let's go take a look."

The group arrived at the building's entrance and headed straight for the eighteenth floor.

The building has a large span and is not distributed with one elevator per household, but rather with two households per elevator.

This is also a strategy adopted by businesses to maximize profits.

Everyone was stunned as soon as they entered!

Apart from a glass wall on the opposite side, there was absolutely no decoration, making it seem very empty.

However, it is precisely this openness that allows for an unobstructed view of the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Such a beautiful skyline, how could they have ever dreamed of having it?
Liang Kun's mouth dropped open:
"How much influence must the boss have to have such a prime location in the company?"

"How can it go bankrupt like this?"

The Way of the King: Deep Thought

"That guy really has a lot of energy."

Just think of the names recorded in Long Fei's ledger; each one has a more impressive background than the last.

That guy, even when he's just playing the white glove, doesn't forget to smear others.

He stole this building from others over ten years; even the people behind him didn't know how good he was at it.

"However, people like them don't have much money on hand."

"A single bad decision can lead to a broken cash flow and the predicament of bankruptcy."

"This guy is one of them."

"Otherwise, how do you think he acquired such a building?"

Liang Kun suddenly looked at Wang Dao and asked:

"Ah Dao, you didn't use some shady methods to get this deal, did you?"

Wang Dao was stunned:

"Brother Kun, why are you saying that about me?"

"What do you mean by 'ashamed to be seen by others'?"

"I earn my living honestly and fair by my own abilities."

Liang Kun put his arm around his shoulder and said:

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"We're out here in the game, we get everything by robbing."

"If there's ever work like that, do more of it next time."

Wang Dao quickly replied:
“Brother Kun, we are senior executives of Qiankun Film and Television. We are legitimate businessmen. Don’t try to use underhanded methods all the time. That won’t last long.”

Liang Kun pretended not to hear.

Qiankun Films makes it sound good, but in reality, money flows out like water every day, and there's never any return.

Of course, this is partly because Qiankun Films has only been open for a short time and has no works yet, but more importantly, the profits from those two streets in Mong Kok are too high.

Before witnessing the enormous profits in the film and television industry, Liang Kun was unwilling to abandon his traditional triad business and focus solely on legitimate activities.

"Why bring that up?" Liang Kun interrupted Wang Dao, asking seriously, "So the boss only wants cash?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"His funding chain has dried up."

"We just need to replenish our cash flow."

Long Fei is waiting downstairs for funds to sell salted duck eggs, so of course he needs money.
Handsome Kun stroked his chin and asked:

"Any kind of money is fine?"

The kingly way is repeated:
"cash!"

"The boss needs cash!"

Handsome Kun's eyes lit up:
"How much would a mansion like this cost?"

Wang Dao casually said:
“A luxury house like this would cost five million on the market now, but this boss is in a hurry to recoup his investment, so four million is enough.”

"Brother Kun, you can just stay here. You can pay me back later."

Consider this my wedding gift to you.

Handsome Kun said speechlessly:
"I don't even know where my own woman is... how am I supposed to receive congratulatory gifts?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Didn't you think highly of that Bozi?"

"Just leave it like that."

"It would be perfect if we were neighbors."

Lam Kwan waved his hand:
“I really love this house… I’m thinking of renovating it and having my mother come and live here.”

Wang Dao praised:
"It's a good thing that Brother Kun is so filial, but the house is so big, are you going to let your aunt live alone?"

"They're really carefree."

Liang Kun explained:
"I definitely won't let my mother stay here alone."

"I'm with her."

"Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me every day, will that stop urging me to find women?"

Wang Dao looked at Liang Kun with an inscrutable expression:

"Brother Kun, you've got it backwards, haven't you?"

Liang Kun was taken aback:
"What do you mean?"

Wang Dao sighed:

"You say you have such a big house and a respectable company, you can be said to be very successful, but you are already thirty years old and still not married, and don't even have a girlfriend."

Do you think your aunt will urge you to hurry up?

Liang Kun was dumbfounded:

"So all the effort I put into getting my mother a big house is for me to be pressured to get married?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"For the elderly, it's all an illusion."

"Only having a house full of children and grandchildren is real."
