Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 158 Deep Confusion

"Is Binni here again today, asking your wife to invite Van out?"

"You go to such great lengths to pursue girls?" Wang Dao asked, quite curious.

Handsome Kun said speechlessly:
"How can you talk like that? You're making Benny sound like some lovesick fool."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Otherwise, how should we say it?"

“Binny is the head of the Hung Hing Kwai Tsing branch. He’s usually busy until the early hours of the morning. It’s only a few o’clock, and he’s already at the company. He’s here even earlier than me.”

"I even suspect that he might have a position in our company?"

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

"That's enough for you."

"Watch out, Benny might turn on you!"

Han Bin stroked his chin and said with a wry smile:
"Now that Ado has said that, I'm starting to wonder if I have a position at the film company."

Wang Dao asked curiously:
"Binny, is something the matter?"

Han Bin suddenly became somewhat awkward:

"that……"

After waiting for a while, he didn't continue speaking.

Liang Kun and Wang Dao exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill. Looking at him now, who the hell would dare to say that this guy was the ruthless and decisive Benny Tiger?
He's more like an innocent young boy!

Handsome Kun said without hesitation:

"Binny, just tell me what's wrong. We're brothers, I'll definitely help you if there's anything I can do."

Han Bin paused for a moment, too embarrassed to reveal his true intentions, so he decided to take a roundabout approach:
"Ah Kun, Ba Bi is out, be careful."

Liang Kun's temper flared up instantly:
"What does it have to do with me if Ba Bi comes out?"

"If he doesn't lose fans, he's still my good brother. If he does lose fans, I don't care who he is!"

"Anyone who dares to sell drugs in my establishment will be killed!"

Han Bin's mouth opened slightly wide:

"Did Chen Guozhong really come here yesterday to warn you?"

Liang Kun glanced at him sideways:
"I thought you came here for something you needed my help with, but it turns out you're just here to mock me?"

Han Bin quickly said:
"no!"

“Yesterday I heard someone say that Chen Guozhong came to the film company to specifically warn you not to get too close to Babi… I thought it was a rumor.”

"You two are so close to Chen Guozhong, how could he do such a thing?"

"That's really disrespectful to you!"

"I didn't expect it wasn't just a rumor!"

Han Bin was genuinely surprised.

The relationship between Chen Guozhong and Liang Kun is truly extraordinary.

Professor Chen Guozhong spread such top-secret information through Liang Kun's group. No one would believe that the two had an ordinary relationship!
There's no reason for Chen Guozhong to do something that would embarrass Liang Kun like this.

"However, Chen Guozhong wouldn't make such a statement without reason. He warned you like this... Ah Kun, even in Hetu, not many people want to hang out with Ba Bi."

"You mustn't get too close to him!"

Enraged, Liang Kun stood up abruptly and roared:
"Why would I, a legitimate business owner, want to associate with bastards?"

"Damn it, Chen Guozhong, just because he's been promoted to chief inspector, he thinks he's something special?"

"How dare you slander us like this?"

"Call him and yell at him!"

Han Bin was startled:
"what?"

"Chen Guozhong has been promoted to Chief Inspector?"

"I'm so angry," said Liang Kun.

"Yeah, he got promoted yesterday, and then he came here to show off."

"Thank goodness I was kind enough to celebrate with him... I never expected he would betray me."

Han Bin was even more surprised:

"After Chen Guozhong was promoted, he came here to tell you... Your relationship is really special."

Liang Kun shrugs:

"It's alright, I only cooperate with him in certain areas."

"As you know, Adao set up a stock market fund, and Chen Guozhong came over yesterday actually for the same reason."

Han Bin's eyes lit up, and he said accordingly:
"Stock funds?"

Lam Kwan nodded:
“Ado explained to us the principles behind his operation.”

"Neither Chen Guozhong nor I understand it."

"Professional matters should be left to professionals."

"We won't interfere."

"However, Adao is a very thoughtful person. He took our feelings into consideration and explained it to us. That's what it was about."

His tone shifted abruptly, and he began to curse.

"My film and television company is a sieve, isn't it?"

"What happened at the gate yesterday took less than a minute, and good heavens, it's already spread all over the martial arts world?"

Han Bin smiled wryly:
"It's because you're famous!"

"If you're not famous, do you think anyone will care about your affairs?"

"How could anyone in the underworld dare to ignore the matter of Boss Kun?"

"No one wants to repeat the mistakes of Abu, Jiang Tiansheng, and the Ni family."

Young Kun protests:

“I didn’t do anything to them.”

Han Bin sneered:
"Don't be modest."

"When Boss Kun makes a move, it's all good; but when he does, it's devastating."

"The big dragon and phoenix that Ah Ben and Jiang Tiansheng jointly organized, not to mention anything else, just the toll fees they paid to settle the gangs along the way amounted to ten million."

"With your move, ten million has gone down the drain."

"At least Chiang Tin-sang got two gangs in Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui... What about Ah Ben? Not only did he waste five million, but his own men are still lying in the hospital. Nobody knows where he is hiding right now. He's become a laughing stock."

"As for the Ni family... if you don't scheme against them, where did those two streets come from?"

"Do they really think the Ni family is easy to bully?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"Blame me?!"

Han Bin sighed:

"Who would dare blame you?"

"Luckily, you were so focused on making movies that you never went to those two streets, which gave the various groups in Mong Kok a chance to vent their anger."

Even so, they wouldn't dare ignore you.

"Your intelligence is of utmost importance to them."

Handsome Kun spat:
"I didn't provoke them, yet they still dared to target me..."

"Ah Dao, remember to remind me to give the surrounding forces in Mong Kok a piece of my mind if I have the chance."

Wang Dao readily agreed.

Han Bin opened his mouth, speechless with astonishment:

"You really want to scheme against them?"

Handsome Kun sneered:
"I'm not a fighter, but I'm not one to be trifled with either."

"If anyone tries to mess with me, I'll mess with them first."

"I guess Ah Qiang and Ah Niu really want their territory to expand a bit more."

Han Bin was horrified:

"No, no, no!"

"Their power is already no less than that of an ordinary gang. If they expand any further, they will rebel."

Handsome Kun snorted coldly:
"I can lift them up, and I can trample them down."

"What kind of boss can't control his own underlings?"

Han Bin gave a thumbs up:
"Kun is so awesome!"

After venting his frustrations, Liang Kun asked:

"What's the matter with you?"

"I'm busy today."

Han Bin frowned and said:
"busy?"

Johnny Kwan waved the schedule in his hand:
"This is what A-Jie just organized for me."

"My schedule is packed today, with a ton of things to do."

"If you have nothing to do, go play with Ado."

"I have things to take care of."

Liang Kun really didn't hold back.

There's nothing we can do about it; Han Bin only comes once in a while, so naturally we have to treat him like a VIP.

But this guy comes every few days, he's practically treating the film company like his own home.

If Liang Kun continues to treat the other party like a VIP, he's just making himself look like a fool!

Where would I find the time to entertain them?

His schedule is precise down to ten minutes; there is no time to waste.

Han Bin glanced at the itinerary, his pupils contracted, and he said to Wang Dao incredulously:

"Is this Kun's schedule every day?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

That's roughly it.

"Except for weekend rest time."

Han Bin looked at Liang Kun with admiration:

"Brother Kun, you're amazing."

Leung Kwan directly kicked people out:

"Ado, take this guy away, I have things to do."

"The morning is when I'm most productive at work, and I won't waste it."

Han Bin tactfully got up and followed Wang Dao into the next room. Wang Dao made him a cup of tea and pushed it forward.
"Binny, what is it? Can you tell me now?"

Han Bin pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, saying:
“Ado, I left here yesterday and went to the stock exchange, where I witnessed an unbelievable scene…”

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"The stocks of Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa have taken off, haven't they?"

Han Bin gave a thumbs up:
"Ah Dao, you're practically a stock market genius!"

"How exactly did you distinguish them?"

Wang Dao laughed:

“Binny, you’re a very capable all-rounder. Do you know why these two stocks took off?”

Han Bin smiled wryly:
"Compared to you, what kind of all-rounder am I... I can't see the reason why these two stocks are soaring, but their stock prices are soaring anyway."

Wang Dao waved his hand:
"It's nothing really, not worth mentioning."

Han Bin's eyes widened:
"Not worth mentioning?"

"You're being too modest."

Wang Dao blinked:

"Then why don't you think about how I picked these two out of thousands of stocks?"

Ok?
Han Bin was momentarily lost in confusion.

How the hell would he know that?
If he knew the reason, would he have rushed over so early in the morning?
Han Bin looked up and saw Wang Dao's expression, that unrestrained smile that seemed to hide something else.

understood!

Is this a test for him?

Han Bin thought for a moment:
"That's a huge project. I need to think about it carefully."

Wang Dao laughed:

"No rush, we can take our time."

Han Bin was stumped; he simply couldn't believe he couldn't find the reason himself!

Wang Dao let him think about it, which suited his wishes perfectly.

According to his plan, to achieve that goal, he couldn't do it on his own, and neither could Liang Kun and Chen Guozhong; he would have to recruit more people!
Han Bin is a good target; he has money and manpower.

Unfortunately, his subordinates were not very capable.

But none of that matters. Once Han Bin is won over, Wang Dao will naturally find a way to get him to relinquish power.

Let him think about it.

Wang Dao unusually didn't go out and have fun today.

Instead, she worked a lot with Liang Kun.

This only made Liang Kun more suspicious – had this guy changed his ways today?
On the other side, there was another person who was filled with doubt and uncertainty; this was Jiang Tiansheng.

Jiang Tiansheng paced back and forth in his office, circling around several times in a short period of time.

Chen Yao asked with concern:
“Mr. Jiang, I have already spoken with Mr. B, and he said he has arranged everything.”

He paused, then emphasized,

“There is no problem with the execution ability of Xi B.”

Jiang Tiansheng shook his head:

“I know that Siu B’s execution ability is not a problem. What I’m worried about is how Leung Kwan will react when he learns about this situation.”

Chen Yao was speechless:

"Even if Liang Kun knows, he can't really do anything to us, can he?"

“Babi is just his sworn brother, not his biological brother.”

"Moreover, Babi is a member of the Hetu people."

"Those who sell drugs are not well-liked in the underworld."

"Even if Leung Kwan wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't have any reason to do so."

"Why should Mr. Jiang worry about Liang Kun?"

Jiang Tiansheng smiled wryly:

"Brother Kun is not simple."

"Leaving aside the fact that he simply ruined the grand dragon and phoenix formation I had set up, just look at his actions—"

"He was running a normal business, yet he maintained good friendships with his fellow江湖 (jianghu) people."

"This is not something an ordinary person can do."

"All the triads around Kowloon City secretly remembered the favor that Young Kun did for them."

Where does this favor come from?

Of course, it's to do Dongxing Longfei and Sanlian Ahe a favor.

On the surface, it was the result of Chen Guozhong's severe crackdown, but anyone with a brain knows that Liang Kun's shadow is lurking behind Chen Guozhong.

The triads around Kowloon City applauded the elimination of Lung Fei and Ah Wo.

Those who sell their followers are a real worry. They make money quickly from selling followers, but they're also prone to getting into trouble.

Even if Long Fei doesn't lose fans, the fact that he's rich makes the surrounding communities feel uneasy.

Nobody wants to be neighbors with a huge organization.

If your neighbor is in a bad mood one day and wants to vent to someone, who do you think he will turn to?

The demise of Long Fei was a cause for universal celebration.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with that, but the problem is that even though he did the most work for Hong An, the Gu family father and son remembered Liang Kun's favor very well.

Where can you reason with this?

What Jiang Tiansheng feared even more was that Liang Kun's new movie featured both police officers and gangsters.

Liang Kun's energy made him uneasy.

Another thing that angered Chiang Tin-sang was that Koo Shou-chung, who was clearly the leader of Hung On, was portrayed as Hung Hing in the movie.

If someone else were to play the leader of Hung Hing, such as the head of Hop To, the Number Gang, or the Sun Kee, Chiang Tin-sang would absolutely not make any comment.

But Gu Shouzhong was different; he was the leader of Hong'an and the head of a branch of the same Hong family.

The plaques bearing the character "Hong" now belong to Hung Hing. In the movies, Gu Shouzhong becomes the leader of Hung Hing, which isn't a joke; it's a subtle way of implying that he is replacing Jiang Tiansheng.

After the movie became a huge success, in the eyes of those in the underworld who were unaware of the situation, the leader of Hung Hing was Koo Sau Chung, not him.

This is something Jiang Tiansheng will not allow.

Is it absurd that a movie could make Jiang Tiansheng think so much?
However, Jiang Tiansheng was a suspicious person by nature.

The trauma that Liang Kun caused him was too deep, and Jiang Tiansheng inevitably couldn't help but think the worst.

He would rather overestimate Liang Kun than underestimate him and cause another failure!

"Sai B reported that Leung Kwan is busy contacting legitimate people all day long, and looks like he's doing legitimate business."

"But you and I both know that his reputation in the martial arts world is growing stronger every day."

Chen Yao's expression changed.

What Jiang Tiansheng was worried about was also what he was worried about.

That's really strange.

He read all of B's ​​reports, and to be fair, what he saw were all normal interpersonal interactions.

No matter how you look at it, it only shows one thing—Brother Kun is really dedicated to running his legitimate business, and for this, he even got in touch with Uncle Six.

This person is no ordinary individual; he also wields considerable influence within the organization.

Most people might think he's just an ordinary, wealthy old man.

But Chen Yao knew that his sixth uncle was extraordinary; he had weathered many storms and even managed to take control of Jade Terrace.

When that guy gets really tough, most gangs wouldn't stand a chance against him.

Needless to say, all he needs to do is produce a few episodes on TVB Jade targeting a particular triad, and no triad can withstand that!

Liang Kun can be said to be a perfect role model of the first generation of entrepreneurs, but when exactly did he start to expand his influence in the business world?
I didn't see him make any move at all.

It’s really weird!

Thinking about it this way, Liang Kun became even more terrifying.

No, we must find a way to curb Liang Kun's influence.

Chen Yao naturally came to the answer, and a sense of urgency rose from the bottom of his heart. He instinctively felt that he had to curb Liang Kun's development trajectory, otherwise Jiang Tiansheng's position would definitely be threatened!

A fierce glint flashed in Chen Yao's eyes as he thought of this!
“Mr. Jiang, it’s necessary to give Liang Kun a warning. I will send someone to cover for Xi B.”

"If his men fail, then my men will guarantee success!"

In Hung Hing, if you were to find the person most loyal to Chiang Tin-sang, it wouldn't be Siu B, but Chan Yiu.

Little B was just a henchman; his importance to Chiang Tin-sang was so-so.

To put it bluntly, if Jiang Tiansheng wanted to find a dog like Xi B, he could find a dozen with a wave of his hand.

However, Chen Yao's importance to Jiang Tiansheng is beyond question.

Chen Yao was deeply involved in Jiang Tiansheng's asset planning, and based on this alone, no one else could compete with Chen Yao.

He and Jiang Tiansheng were bound together by a shared destiny, rising and falling together.

If Jiang Tiansheng steps down, Chen Yao's status will inevitably decline, which is definitely not something he wants to see.

Chen Yao would not allow that situation to occur.

Now, Liang Kun is very likely to affect Jiang Tiansheng's position, and Chen Yao's judgment on such an enemy is exactly the same as Jiang Tiansheng's.

Jiang Tiansheng was very satisfied with Chen Yao's assessment:
“Small B is impulsive and lacks composure; he needs someone to keep an eye on him.”

"You assign someone to ensure that B's actions go smoothly."

"However, we don't need to tell him about B, lest he have bad associations."

Chen Yao understood immediately.

Poor Siu B, he always considered himself Chiang Tin-sang's number one loyal dog.

If he knew that Jiang Tiansheng doubted his professional competence, he would probably be heartbroken!

This is not just idle talk.

For someone like him, praise from his master is the greatest encouragement, while the slightest criticism can drive him to suicide out of shame.

Jiang Tiansheng naturally couldn't bear to see his dog suffer even the slightest problem.

Chen Yao nodded slowly:

“I understand, Mr. Jiang.”

Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand:

"Then let's get to work."

Chen Yao quickly took his leave.

Jiang Tiansheng watched Chen Yao leave, but one question remained unresolved—

How exactly did Leung Kwan manage to run a legitimate business while simultaneously expanding his influence in the underworld?
