Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 153 Han Bin's Dream Awakens
"Damn professor! I thought he was going to bring me here to make a fortune, but it turns out he wants to drag me to hell!"

"Thanks to Ado's intelligence, otherwise I would have been doomed."

Han Bin clearly had nothing good to say about the professor; he kept swearing and cursing.

"I don't even know if the police are targeting me, and I don't know when this heat will pass."

"How the hell are we supposed to play like this?"

"Are you still doing business?"

Liang Kun exhaled a smoke ring and advised:

"Hong Kong is full of money, and you don't lack money either, so just take a break."

Han Bin smiled wryly:
"Ah Kun, you make it sound so easy, how are we supposed to rest?"

"I don't even dare to rest when I want to."

“For businesses like ours, if our assistants take a break, half the business is ruined.”

"How can we play this?"

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"Is that so?"

Han Bin sighed:

"Damn it, what bad luck!"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Didn't Brother Kun say that there are businesses everywhere in Hong Kong? It just depends on how you do them?"

"You've developed your territory in Kwai Tsing?"

Han Bin's spirits lifted:
"That's right."

"I'll think about it carefully later and figure out how to manage my territory in Kwai Tsing."

Liang Kun looked at him with a strange expression:
"You're the boss of Kwai Tsing, and Kwai Tsing is almost entirely populated by people of the same surname. Now you're telling me that you haven't developed your own territory?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Han Bin felt wronged:
Is this my fault?

“Back when we were in Hetu, those old guys controlled everything.”

"You're meddling way too much!"

"You can't do this, you can't do that."

"I am not free to do anything."

"Do you think I want to go to sea to do business?"

"At sea, a hurricane and a wave can wipe out not only cargo but also people!"

"Wasn't it because those old guys forced us to do it?"

At this point, Han Bin asked about the king's way.

"Didn't you say that HeTu would fall apart after I left?"

"Why is there still no news after so many days?"

Liang Kun was speechless:

"Binny, you seem to have a lot of opinions about Hetu."

Han Bin corrected:
"No, I have no problem with Hetu."

“I have quite a few complaints about Hetu’s uncles.”

"Fat Deng, Fat Xiang, God..."

"I'll take as many as I can; I'd love for them to die."

Han Bin was filled with resentment.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Hung Hing and willingly become a leader."

"Shouldn't we at least have some control over Kwai Tsing's territory?"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"You're having a terrible time."

"Ado, when do you think Hetu will disintegrate?"

Wang Dao stroked his chin and said:
"Is the HeTu conference going to be held on the 15th of this month?"

Han Bin nodded:
"Yes, the next person in charge was supposed to be elected on the 15th of this month."

Wang Dao's lips curled slightly:

"Then don't need to think about it. Just prepare the firecrackers and set them off on the night of the 15th."

Han Bin was overjoyed:

"It disintegrated on the 15th?"

Wang Dao analyzed:
“With you here, it would have been easy to elect someone in charge; it would have been either you or someone else.”

Han Bin's expression changed drastically:

"Besides me, is there anyone else?"

Wang Daoli naturally said:
"You said it yourself, He Tu's uncles are all a bunch of old foxes."

"You can keep everyone in line; you are a recognized strong candidate."

"Precisely because of this, your uncles may have made all sorts of deals behind the scenes to prevent you from being elected."

what? !

Han Bin's expression changed drastically.

Leung Kwan seemed to be deep in thought:
"It seems like this could actually happen."

"I know what Uncle Hetu and his family are like."

"They're all a bunch of old foxes, incredibly cunning."

“You are the recognized choice to take charge, but precisely because of this, He Tu’s uncles may use you as a ballast.”

"They can trade freely and arbitrarily select the person in charge through the exchange of benefits."

"But I won't choose you!"

"If we choose you, things will get complicated."

"They have no bargaining chips, and they have no room to maneuver."

Wang Dao added.
“Binny, you are a strong person. If you were in charge, would you develop the business in Kwai Tsing?”

Han Bin replied without hesitation:
"With the righteous cause at stake, only a fool wouldn't develop his own power."

"Not only will I expand the influence of Kwai Tsing, but I will also try every means to weaken the power of other branches."

Handsome Kun immediately became interested:

"Then what are you going to do?"

Han Bin shrugged:

"It's easy!"

"I adopted the top henchmen of the most powerful hall masters as my godsons."

Liang Kun was taken aback:
"you……"

Wang Dao clapped his hands and said:
“Binny, you really are from the Hetu, you’re so cunning.”

"That was a brilliant move!"

Liang Kun asked in bewilderment:
"Stop beating around the bush and explain properly how this move works!"

Han Bin looked at Wang Dao in surprise. He hadn't expected that the trick he had been racking his brains for would be so easily figured out by Wang Dao.

He wasn't sure if Wang Dao truly understood, so he asked,

"Ado, what do you think is so clever about my move?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

What is the greatest power of the person in charge?

"Justice!"

"If you become the person in charge, won't you be able to define the righteousness of Hetu as you see fit?"

“You take the leaders of those gangs as your heads, and support their power under the guise of the righteous cause of the leaders.”

"Those hall masters had no way to speak out."

"Climbing the ranks is in the nature of gangsters. With your support, the henchmen of those gang leaders can naturally stand on equal footing with them."

"They were originally the leaders of the hall masters, and it can be said that they were the ones who built up most of the power."

"Even if those hall masters wanted to restrict it, it wouldn't be possible."

"Through this method, you have easily brought the most powerful force in Hetu under your control."

"Amazing!"

Liang Kun looked at Han Bin and said:
"Binny, you're such a cunning guy!"

Han Bin stared at Wang Dao in shock. He really hadn't expected that the other party had actually understood. Wang Dao's status in his heart rose dramatically.

Liang Kun's words brought him to his senses, and he quickly said:

"What's insidious?"

"I learned all of that from He Tu's uncles."

Wang Dao seemed to be deep in thought:
"Old ghosts are clever and old people are cunning; the old saying is absolutely true."

"With these uncles around, it's really hard for you to rise to the top."

"The person in charge is like a carrot in front of a donkey; you can see it, but you can never reach it."

Han Bin's face darkened even more.

Handsome Kun frowned and said:
"Binny's idea was good, but I feel like something's not quite right."

Han Binqi said:

"What's wrong?"

Wang Dao smiled and said:

"Of course something's wrong!"

"Like boss, like underlings."

"If the boss is ruthless, don't blame the underlings for being unjust!"

“Binny, your idea is good, but don’t forget that your approach is actually instigating your underlings to trample the original boss underfoot and let them take the place themselves.”

"Because your leader's sense of righteousness has covered up their actions."

"This kind of behavior is not allowed in the community."

"That is—betraying one's master and destroying one's ancestors!"

Snapped!
Young Kun suddenly clapped his hands:

"I knew something was wrong, so here it was!"

Han Bin disagreed:

"What kind of betrayal of one's master and ancestors is that?"

"I'm just training my adopted son to seize power from the head of the hall."

"But we didn't let them kill their own boss."

"That wouldn't do my reputation any good either."

Wang Dao smiled and nodded:

That's true.

"I bet you're training them so they'll run for leader again in two years."

Han Bin said matter-of-factly:
"I am very sure of that."

Wang Dao laughed:

"But have you ever thought about whether those adopted sons you've raised will give you another two years?"

Han Bin opened his mouth to speak,
You might say, "We can take them down one by one."

“You tell each of your adopted sons, ‘Support me this time, I’ll support you next time,’ and so on.”

Han Bin was dumbfounded. He had already overestimated Wang Dao's scheming ability, but he still underestimated it.

My schemes seem a bit insignificant in front of him.

How does he know what I'm thinking?

Wang Dao sighed:

"Binny, I'll say it again."

"Like boss, like underlings."

"Don't blame them for using the same methods against you as you have taught them."

"They absolutely can't wait." "Like what Brother Kun used to say all the time, 'When you're out here, you work at the police station on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, you're at the funeral home. Who knows where you'll be tomorrow?'"

"A short mule who's out there in the world never has a tomorrow."

"so……"

"They won't listen to you; they'll all fight you."

"These are people you trained yourself."

Do you think you can beat them?

Han Bin was dumbfounded.

Liang Kun shook his head and made a judgment:
"We can't win!"

“The guys you trained all have some of your skills.”

"Don't forget, your so-called adopted sons are quite capable; they used to be the leader's henchmen."

Han Bin was slightly unconvinced:
"I don't believe that the henchmen of those gang leaders are as good as Adao."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"I don't believe it either!"

"Even if he doesn't have eighty percent of Ado's abilities, he must have at least half, right?"

"You won't be able to handle six or seven!"

After thinking it over, Han Bin had no choice but to nod in agreement; he didn't even have the ability to refute it.

Wang Dao stroked his chin and said:
“The uncles of Hetu are essentially the same; the rule they follow is to prevent any one family from becoming dominant.”

"However, you can just ignore this kind of nonsense."

Liang Kun's Strange Path:

"Just listen and that's it?"

"Haven't the uncles been trying to maintain a balance within the gang?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"Then why are the uncles always the ones who control the alliance?"

Liang Kun was taken aback, then suddenly realized:

"These old foxes, while they say they're wary of any one faction becoming too powerful, what they really mean is that they don't want any branch to have the ability to rival their uncles."

"It seems……"

Liang Kun looked at Han Bin and sighed:
"Binny, it's a good thing you jumped out of Hetu's fire pit, otherwise you would have been working for Hetu's uncles forever!"

Han Bin remained silent, dejected.

He was devastated.

He disagreed with Wang Dao's words, but upon reflection, he realized they made perfect sense.

The uncles made it sound nice, but what they really meant was that they were afraid a powerful figure would emerge and surpass their influence. If that happened, how could the uncles continue to control Hetu?

Wouldn't it be better to listen to someone knowledgeable?!
Unfortunately, Han Bin, the guy who was originally considered the next head of Hetu, was such a powerful figure who could influence his uncles.

The position of the person in charge looks good, but it's like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey—you can see it, but you can never eat it!
Han Bin was furious:
"If we follow Ado's analysis, then without me, the Hetu wouldn't have split apart?!"

Wang Dao shook his head:
"No, quite the opposite in my opinion."

"Without you, Hetu cannot be separated!"

He looked at Han Bin strangely.

"Binny, don't you understand?"

Han Bin was baffled:

"What do I understand?"

Wang Dao sighed:
"You're just a prop!"

"A tool for uncles to scold others."

"The Hetu family is large and prosperous, and they have many red sticks (officials who hold high positions in the government)."

"Although some people are not as good as you, they are still qualified to compete for the leadership position."

"But with you around, no one else will speak up."

“If you don’t get elected, other people will think that your uncles’ actions were fair and just.”

"Even if a fool comes and questions why he wasn't chosen..."

“Your uncles can also use you as a pretext.”

How do you compare to Binny?

"He wasn't even selected, and you have the nerve to come and ask him?!"

Wang Dao spread his hands.
"No matter which guy tries to argue with the uncles, they'll just use this one sentence to shut them up."

"There's nothing we can do. Who told you to be so powerful that you could overpower all the other corrupt officials?"

Han Binren was dumbfounded:

"Is this all the 'I'm supposed to do'?"

Wang Dao said earnestly:
"This is incredibly important; it's the pillar of strength for our uncles."

"It's the perfect shield, an excuse that works every time!"

Han Bin slumped down in despair.
"屮!"

“Sometimes I regret switching to Hung Hing, but now I think it’s a good thing I did.”

"Otherwise, wouldn't we be offending a deadly person?!"

Liang Kun wholeheartedly agreed:

“That’s right, your uncles’ excuses are good, but if this continues, you’ll definitely offend all the corrupt officials in Hetu.”

"The problem is that you don't even know when you offended them."

"Unbeknownst to you, your uncles have shouldered a huge burden for you!"

Han Bin angrily cursed:
"Those old geezers!"

Liang Kun asked:

"Without Binney as an excuse this time, the uncles' operations will probably be more difficult, won't they?"

Wang Dao sneered:
"It's more than just difficult; it's a miracle if we don't fight."

“With Binney around, even if the uncles had opinions, they had a common enemy, so they were able to suppress their own thoughts and maintain the interests of the entire uncle group.”

“But now that Binni has switched sides to Hung Hing and is no longer playing with them, he’s living his own comfortable life. Suddenly, Hop To’s uncles have no excuse.”

"Just you wait and see. If they haven't managed to tear their brains out by the 15th, come find me!"

Han Bin shook his head:
"Alright, you don't need to comfort me like that."

"Now I understand, those old bastards from Hetu really messed things up for us!"

Wang Dao said solemnly:
Are you unhappy with your life right now?

"I wonder how many people envy you."

Han Bin was stunned:
“Yes, compared to the combined figures, Hung Hing’s life is as comfortable as it gets.”

"...I'm so angry at He Tu!"

"Damn it, I'm going to buy ten thousand yuan worth of firecrackers and set them off on the fifteenth!"

Handsome Kun said speechlessly:
"Get out!"

“Ah Ren’s father died, and he gave 20,000 yuan.”

Han Bin: "..."

This is not the same thing at all.

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

"Let's not set off firecrackers."

"The disintegration of Hetu is a big deal, we can just keep it to ourselves."

Han Bin said speechlessly:
"You think I'd be afraid of them?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"After all, you came from Hetu, so you must have some connection with them."

"Leaving a good impression on each other might open up more opportunities in the future."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"That's right, the martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions."

He truly put his knowledge into practice.

Han Bin was taken aback, then slowly nodded:

"Ah Kun, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"In fact, this applies not only to the martial arts world, but also to ordinary interpersonal relationships."

"Social skills and interpersonal relationships are always important."

Liang Kun laughed heartily, realizing even more the importance of Wang Dao to him.

Han Bin frowned and said:
"So what should I do now?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"You can modify Kwai Tsing as you please."

"Business is everywhere in Hong Kong, just do what you want."

Han Bin thought for a moment and asked:
"Ah Kun, do you have any good business opportunities to recommend to me?"

Liang Kun was somewhat embarrassed:

"I'm focusing my main energy on my main job now."

Han Bin said earnestly:
"I think it's pretty good."

"You're doing so well in your legitimate business, it makes me envious."

"How about you introduce me to a few projects?"

Handsome Kun laughed:

"You also want to do legitimate work?"

Han Bin said enviously:
“You two spent six or seven million to renovate a house, I’m not that extravagant.”

Handsome Kun laughed and said:
"I don't believe you can't pretend!"

Han Bin nodded:
"I can afford to pretend, but in the current situation, even if I could, would I still be able to make a living?"

"And you can make a lot of money doing legitimate business."

After thinking for a moment, Liang Kun said:

"I do have a business idea that you might want to consider."

Han Bin immediately became interested:

"what business?"

Liang Kun explained:
"The movie theater chain!"

“Given the size of Kwai Tsing, building two or three cinemas would be quite easy.”

"A movie theater is like a base; a movie theater can support at least fifty people."

"As long as you make a one-time investment, you can have a continuous stream of income."

"Most importantly, movie theaters can be used for money laundering..."

Han Bin suddenly clapped his hands:

"I'm determined to build this movie theater!"

All other advantages are secondary; the last one is exactly what he values.

You can use it to launder money!
Liang Kun shrugs:

Do you have any spare money?

“Building a movie theater is not cheap.”

"The most important thing is the land."

Han Bin frowned and said:
"Then I need to go back to Kwai Tsing and make some careful plans."

Liang Kun leaned back.
"If you ask me, you'd be better off joining Ado's stock fund."

"His investment acumen is top-notch."

"It's just that we're close; I wouldn't tell anyone else."

Han Bin thought for a moment and asked:
"Have those two stocks that Ado mentioned before started moving in?"
