Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 179 Han Bin's Resentment
Hung Hing doesn't sell cigarettes; they only sell them locally.

In the Netherlands' famous red-light district, taking a virgin is a basic procedure.

All the veterans of Hung Hing were fans of the drug trade, and unfortunately, Ekin Cheng, as the top henchman in East China, naturally took charge of these fan trades himself.

Jiang Tiansheng secretly realized his mistake. He had thought that transferring Yi Mian from the Netherlands was a brilliant move, but he hadn't expected there to be hidden worries.

If this matter is not handled properly, it could cause serious trouble.

The newly appointed head of Tsz Wan Shan is about to be replaced!
Liang Kun whispered to Jiang Tiansheng:
"Hong Kong's Interpol team was completely wiped out when they tried to arrest the professor."

"It's probably still being assembled."

"Jiang Sheng, ask Hong Xing's uncle and ask them to think of a way to clear Yi Mian's criminal record."

Suddenly, Jiang Tiansheng had a thought and looked at Liang Kun in astonishment. Could it be that Chen Guozhong was using this method to remind Hong Xing?
Considering Chen Guozhong's relationship with Qiankun Film & Television, it's quite possible!
"Don't worry, I'll remind Uncle Dong. He still has some connections in the Netherlands."

Liang Kun nodded slightly:

"That's good!"

Jiang Tiansheng reciprocated:
"Ah Kun, your movie is doing really well lately. How about we release it overseas?"

Liang Kun was surprised:

"Does Mr. Jiang have good connections?"

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said:

“My younger brother Tianyang is doing quite well in Siam, so he can make a name for himself in Southeast Asia.”

Liang Kun turned to look at Wang Dao, who asked:
"Mr. Jiang, how should the profits be calculated?"

Jiang Tiansheng is very magnanimous:
How about we split it 50/50 between our two families?

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Happy cooperation!"

So the crowd dispersed.

"Why are you squeezing into my car if you're not going back to Kwai Tsing, or going to see Dinosaur and Thin Eyes?" Liang Kun was very confused by Han Bin.

Han Bin shrugged:

"The professor's matter is still unresolved; how could I dare to make a move on my side?"

"I've been watching dinosaurs and narrow-eyed creatures for decades, do I have to keep watching them?"

Liang Kun pointed at Han Bin and laughed:

"Speak, what exactly do you want?"

Han Bin was not surprised at all by Liang Kun's reaction; Liang Kun was someone he greatly admired.

"Today is not only our meeting, but also the election meeting of Hetu. I thought of what Adao said before, and I want to know if this is true."

Liang Kun casually said:
“What Ado said is of course true.”

Han Bin frowned and said:
"how do you know?"

Handsome Kun smiled and said:
"Ah Zhong has come over here."

Han Bin said in astonishment:
"What does Chen Guozhong's arrival here prove?"

Liang Kun rolled his eyes:
"Is the leader of Hung Hing more important, or the head of Hop To?"

“Ah Zhong doesn’t care about the head of the He Tu gang, but he comes here to arrest an ordinary leader.”

"Anyone would know that this is abnormal."

“Why is it abnormal?”

Han Bin blurted out:

"Didn't Hetu elect a leader?"

Leung Kwan shrugged:
"Hey, didn't you already know?"

Han Bin was momentarily confused:
"Is that right?"

“Ado, come and tell me.”

Wang Dao said expressionlessly:
"The ancestral temple of He Tu seems to be in the New Territories, not Kowloon."

Han Bin looked at Liang Kun speechlessly:

"You fool me!"

Chan Kwok-chung is a senior inspector of the Kowloon Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), but he has no jurisdiction over the New Territories.

If you force your hand out, you're crossing the line.

That's very taboo.

Chen Guozhong wouldn't do something like this casually.

Wang Dao also said:

“Brother Zhong can reach out.”

Han Bin sighed:

"Ah Dao, you're no good either. Don't you know whether I should lend a hand or not?"

Wang Dao said earnestly:
"Hetu is a large organization; they have more than twenty hall masters alone."

“Distributed throughout Hong Kong.”

“Such a large organization cannot be handled by a single district branch of the police station; it requires collaboration.”

“Brother Zhong is invited to go, no problem at all.”

Han Bin was taken aback, but finally nodded slowly:
"you're right!"

He said randomly,

"Although Chen Guozhong took Yi Mian away, he didn't spare him the beating, but it also reminded us that Yi Mian might face Interpol's wanted notice."

"That's quite generous of you."

"but……"

Han Bin glanced at Liang Kun and Wang Dao.
"This guy walked through the Netherlands."

Handsome Kun said expressionlessly:
"I only said that you can't gain fans domestically. As long as you don't sell them to your own people, it doesn't matter."

Wang Dao nodded.

There aren't many good people out there.

The reason why Liang Kun didn't leave the fandom was initially because he was bound by the prevailing opinion, making it difficult for him to keep his word.

Later, he solidified his strategy of not becoming a fan, not because he was morally superior—he had even gone to university for further studies, so where did his moral superiority come from?
Ultimately, it's all about business!
Gaining followers can make money quickly, but you'll be gone even faster!
First, Ni Kun was executed, then Long Fei and A He were surrounded and killed by the police station, and they even lost their territory.

Now that Liang Kun has returned to legitimate business, he naturally doesn't want his partners to misunderstand.

Once someone gets involved with drugs, not only will they become less popular with respectable people, but they'll also lose favor within their own club.

Therefore, Liang Kun absolutely does not allow his subordinates to lose fans.

He didn't care about the others; they weren't his subordinates, and he couldn't control them. Since they didn't affect his interests, it was none of his business if they hanged themselves.

It doesn't matter what other countries are like. Liang Kun hasn't developed his career overseas yet, so what if things turn upside down in other countries?
Love so and so!
His attitude was that straightforward.

The kingly way is simple—simple and pure justice—revenge!
The Westerners have used methods to deal with us for nearly two hundred years. It's reasonable for us to use their methods to deal with them, right?

The kingly way is not so noble either. When others attack him, he will choose to fight back more fiercely rather than swallow his anger for the sake of the greater good.

Otherwise, he should have stayed at the police station and worked there honestly.

Han Bin laughed heartily:

"I knew you'd think that way."

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"Isn't this a good idea?"

Han Bin sneered:
"Of course."

"I'd love for the Westerners to be as chaotic as possible."

If we're talking about ruthlessness, this guy is truly ruthless; he exports weapons.

Liang Kun calmly said:
"Neither you nor I can become the leader of Hung Hing, but we don't need to be in that position either."

“Especially under the current system of Hung Hing, being a leader is enough.”

Han Bin nodded repeatedly:

"Not bad!"

If he hadn't come to Hung Hing, he would never have imagined that the Hung Hing leader wielded such power—aside from the unavoidable obligation to pay taxes to the triad, his own territory was truly his personal fiefdom.

Do whatever you want.

If you have the ability, you can create a pure majority, then you'll be no different from the leader of some small gangs—no, even more enjoyable.

After all, if you encounter trouble that you can't handle, the community will be there to back you up.

The money we pay each month isn't for nothing.

In this situation, who would be willing to become the leader?
To some extent, being the leader means being all alone.

Any ambitious person in the Fit industry will aim for the top position.

The leader not only has to deal with challenges from outside the gang, but also has to avoid backstabbing within the gang. He is suspicious and has no confidants.

Han Bin sometimes wondered if someone like Jiang Tiansheng, who had been in a leadership position for so long, actually had anyone he could trust.
It's good as it is now. They don't have to worry about external affairs, and they don't need to exert themselves normally. They only need to exert themselves when the organization is in crisis and facing collapse.

No matter how you look at it, becoming a Fit person is a good choice.

Even if someone were to ask him to go back and make the dragon head for the composite diagram, he wouldn't do it. Of course, no one would ask him to go back and make the dragon head.

What's done is done. Once you switch sides, aside from any remaining ties with your original gang members, there's no more affection left. That's reality.

Han Bin, who had switched allegiances, was eager for the group to disband.

He's doing very well now, and he'd love for Hetu to be doing poorly.

Of course, he also likes it when his friends in the group are doing well, preferably not as well as him, that would be perfect.

Liang Kun asked:

"Jiang Tiansheng is talking about Jiang Tianyang. Adao, do you have information about him?"

Wang Dao smiled and looked at Han Bin:

“I have some information here, but I think we should ask Binny directly.”

"He is much more familiar with Southeast Asia than we are."

Han Bin said enviously:
"Ah Kun, you're so lucky!"

Liang Kun rolled his eyes:
"You can forget about it. I've shed blood and sweat for the gang, and I thought I could rise to a high position after I got out, but it turns out that only A-Dao is waiting for me outside."

"I still have to fight for this territory myself..."

Han Bin bluntly stated:
"I'm talking about Ado."

Handsome Kun choked half to death, but was also smug:
"Of course, Ado and I are heroes who respect each other."

Han Bin sighed:

"Ado's information network is really good; he knows everything about my deeds."

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
“I didn’t specifically investigate Binney, but in the 1970s, there was war all over Southeast Asia. You’re in this line of work, so I don’t believe you wouldn’t put in the effort.”

Han Bin chuckled:

“Ado, you’re right. That was indeed my golden period for development. However, I only caught up with it for a short time, only four or five years.”

Wang Dao added:
"The wealth accumulated in these short four or five years is more than what others have accumulated in the past twenty years." Han Bin chuckled.

Leung Kwan gives a thumbs up:
"Benny is indeed Benny."

Han Bin shrugged:

"Ado is right. I really do know a lot about Southeast Asia. Jiang Tiansheng has a good younger brother."

A thought struck Liang Kun:
How does Jiang Tianyang compare to Jiang Tiansheng?

Han Bin pondered for a moment, then looked at Liang Kun with a strange expression:

"You look a lot like me."

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

Han Bin spread his hands:
"In my opinion, Jiang Tiansheng is no match for Jiang Tianyang, just as he is no match for you."

"Jiang Tianyang is much more magnanimous than Jiang Tiansheng, and he does things in a more elegant and dignified manner. He is also more broad-minded, but he loves doing business more than doing things."

The so-called "matter" refers to matters concerning the club/organization.

A lightbulb went off in Liang Kun's eyes:
"Be high-profile in your personal life, but low-profile in your work?"

Han Bin nodded emphatically:

"Correct!"

He thought for a while,

If I had to give it an adjective...

"Jiang Tianyang is the kind of big shot that everyone can trust."

A thought struck Liang Kun.
"Binny, you think very highly of him."

Han Bin said solemnly:
"Many people are dissatisfied with Jiang Tiansheng being the leader, and many want to take his place, right?"

Handsome Kun nodded with a smile:

"of course."

"Everyone says that this guy is just lucky. If he didn't have a father who's a big shot, how could he have become the head of Hung Hing?"

"However, we actually know that Jiang Tiansheng is talented."

"Take this 'Fit' system for example, it's not something an ordinary person would dare to create."

"Of course, it's normal for people like us to be dissatisfied with each other when we're out in the business."

"There's no need to be so harsh."

Han Bin laughed and said:

"It's still true that you're saying this, but if it were Jiang Tianyang instead of Jiang Tiansheng sitting in the head of Hung Hing right now, I don't think anyone would have any thoughts of usurping power."

"Jiang Tianyang is a born big shot. Once he sits in that position, everyone will be convinced."

Liang Kun exclaimed in surprise:
"That's quite a capable person."

Han Bin smiled wryly:
"Isn't he a capable person!"

"He operates in Siam and is one of the three major figures in Siam."

"He has a good relationship with the royal family of Siam."

"His influence extends throughout both the legitimate and criminal worlds of Siam."

"It's not even limited to the influence of Siam."

"It's truly admirable."

"I received a lot of help from him back then."

Liang Kun seemed to be deep in thought.

Han Bin shrugged:

"Strangely, everyone knows that Chiang Tien Yang is a big shot in Siam and that he has all sorts of illegal activities, but his reputation is very good."

Liang Kun was surprised:

"This is something we should learn from."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Be high-profile in your personal life, but low-profile in your work."

Handsome Kun nodded slowly:

"I believe what Binney said."

Han Bin rolled his eyes:
You might as well say you believe in yourself.

In his view, Liang Kun followed the exact same path as Jiang Tianyang.

The club is fine as long as it works, but I don't need to get deeply involved.

The position of leader is enough for me; I don't crave the top spot. Anyone who wants to take the top position is welcome, and I might even help them out. But to actually sit in the top position is just a dream.

Han Bin saw through it immediately.

What Hung Hing leader?
That's just a scapegoat for Handsome Kun.

As long as Hung Hing remains standing, even if someone tries to cause trouble for Ugly Kwan, Hung Hing will protect him first.

The rest of the matter... is that even a matter?

Whether it's Liang Kun or Jiang Tianyang, their goal is to make money.

People are out there doing this all for the money.

Han Bin fell into deep thought. Given Liang Kun's actions, what would be the next step after making money?
To become rich and establish oneself?

To clear one's name?

Maybe not!
In some ways, Leung Kwan is now considered innocent.

As for collecting protection money on those two streets in Mong Kok—how do you know it was Lengo who collected it? Silly Keung and Ah Niu aren't stupid enough to betray Lengo.

Then, get rich and establish yourself, becoming a truly wealthy person?
Han Bin thought about it more and more and felt that this was possible.

Ah Kun is thinking too far ahead, isn't he?
If Ah Kun were willing to play with me, that would be great.

Looks like I need to talk to Van and tell her to keep an eye on Bozi. If she keeps whispering in his ear, even Ah Kun, who's usually so stubborn, will eventually give in.

Okay, let's do it that way.

Liang Kun asked:

"Adao, is Jiang Tianyang that kind of person?"

Han Bin looked at Wang Dao with surprise:

"Ado, you also know information about this person?"

Han Bin wasn't angry that Liang Kun wanted Wang Dao to confirm the information he had given him. What he was curious about was that Wang Dao actually knew about Jiang Tianyang.

Han Bin had great faith in Wang Dao's abilities.

Anyway, putting himself in Wang Dao's shoes, he secretly thought that he could never be as composed as Wang Dao.

Han Bin is a very pure person. His talent is so great that he sees almost everyone as a scheming and despicable person. There are very few people who can catch his eye, so his arrogance naturally arises.

However, if you can gain his approval, Han Bin is quite easy to talk to.

Handsome Kun laughed loudly:

“Binny, don’t you know? Ado’s greatest strength is his intelligence capabilities.”

Han Bin's heart skipped a beat, and he asked a question that had been troubling him lately:
"Ado, how exactly did you determine those two stocks?"

Those two stocks are now skyrocketing like crazy; as of yesterday, they were up ten times compared to the beginning of the month.

Ten times!

They're looking like two volatile stocks, and they're even acting like monster stocks!
I really don't know how the right path was determined or selected.

Wang Dao did not give Han Bin a perfunctory response:

"My judgment is not based on company performance or analysis tools such as candlestick charts."

Han Bin was horrified:

"Then how dare you bet your money on them?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"That's easy..."

Han Bin said speechlessly:
"You call this simple?"

Wang Dao explained:
"It's really quite simple."

"I'm just analyzing human nature."

Han Bin was taken aback.

Wang Dao smiled and said:
“Those two stocks are backed by foreigners, and I’ve received intelligence that some foreigners in Hong Kong are not optimistic about Hong Kong’s future.”

Han Bin shook his head:
"That's impossible. Everyone knows that Hong Kong's economy is booming and its future is bound to be bright."

“Those foreign firms have more data than we do; there’s no way they couldn’t have figured this out.”

The Kingly Way, with its profound meaning, said:
"That's true."

"But for them, Hong Kong being good may not necessarily be good for them."

"Hong Kong is still Hong Kong; this is not Chongqing."

Han Bin was stunned. His mind raced, and in an instant, he understood everything. He said incredulously:
"You obtained intelligence about the negotiations between Chongqing and the mainland?"

Wang Dao was startled:
"What do you mean I obtained intelligence about the negotiations between Chongqing and the mainland?"

"Is this something I can get?"

"If you tell anyone, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"I don't know how many people want to kill me."

Han Bin asked awkwardly:

"Then this is?"

Wang Dao said solemnly:
“I just heard that someone came from Chongqing, then went to the mainland, and came back with almost no smile on their face.”

"Of course, the most important thing is..."

"The taipan of Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa, like that man, didn't have a smile on his face!"

Han Bin clicked his tongue in amazement:
"You really dare to place a bet."

Handsome Kun smiled and said:
"It's a desperate gamble!"

Han Bin wholeheartedly agreed.

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
"Whether it's Wharf Holdings or Hutchison Whampoa, they are both long-established foreign firms. Even if their stocks don't rise, they won't fall too much either."

"Anyway, we won't lose money."

"If I make a wrong judgment this time, it doesn't matter. There will always be a time to sell it in the future."

Looking at Wang Dao's expression, Han Bin felt that the other party must have some tricks up his sleeve. He opened his mouth, but ultimately did not ask any further questions.

You need to have a sense of boundaries.

Why didn't he join the stock fund managed by Wang Dao right away?
