Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 359 Handsome Kun Never Forgets His Roots

"Back in the day in the Fog City, I was a seasoned pro at navigating the world of women, and I could easily sleep with seven women in one night!"

Ximen was quite pleased with himself.

"But that's not possible now. When you get old, you have to accept that you're getting old."

Simon sighed heavily.
"I thought I would have to say goodbye to this wonderful taste, but I never expected this..."

Simon looked at Liang Kun with unusual urgency.

"Li, give me a thousand of these pills!"

Liang Kun looked at Xi Men speechlessly:

"I'm not a drug dealer, where am I supposed to get a thousand pills for you?"

Simon's face stiffened:
Not even a thousand grains?

Liang Kun shrugs:

"One thousand dollars per pill, I'll give you one hundred pills."

"It's up to you whether you want it or not!"

"This thing is a seven-day course of treatment, but I have to remind you that you need to rest for three or four days after the seven days."

"It doesn't have major side effects, but it is a medicine."

"Every medicine has its side effects; you can't eat it like food."

Without saying a word, Simon pulled out a check for $100,000:
"Where's the medicine? I need it now!"

Liang Kun pulled out a small leather bag; a hundred pills cost only five strips.

"Look, it's only because of you that others aren't qualified to get medicine from me!"

Simon, overjoyed, carefully placed the small blue pill close to his body as if it were a priceless treasure, and asked:
"Such a good medicine, why isn't it on the market yet?"

Liang Kun said with distress:
"This thing will be on the market a long time from now; apparently, it's still undergoing double-blind trials!"

"It must undergo testing before it can be marketed."

"Otherwise, the government won't issue the permit."

Simon was furious:
"If someone like me, who has almost completely lost their abilities, can regain their strength with this drug, then why does such a drug need to undergo double-blind trials?"

Handsome Kun sighed:
“It’s no use telling me. Go tell the authorities.”

Ximen pondered for a moment and said:
Which government agency?

“I still have some connections in Chongqing.”

Handsome Kun bluntly said:
"My hometown!"

Simon's eyes widened:
"Why did you decide to set up production in your hometown?"

Liang Kun raised his finger:

"First, labor and materials are cheap."

"Secondly, my hometown has a large population and a vast market."

"Third, the local government treats people like human beings and has high requirements for medicines. As long as my medicines can pass the approval process in my hometown, they will definitely pass the approval process in other markets."

Ximen was helpless.

Even without mentioning other conditions, the first one alone would tempt any capitalist.

When will this drug be available on the market?

"Or, to put it another way, does your company's pharmaceutical plant accept investment?"

Handsome Kun said arrogantly:
"Simon, you said you have such medicine, and you're backed by Hutchison Whampoa. Do we lack funds?"

Ximen smiled wryly:
"I knew it!"

With his keen business sense, Simon foresaw that once this medicine hit the market, it would be a huge hit.

Such a product will never have to worry about selling.

Plus, this is definitely a fast-moving consumer good, a cash cow!
Simon was absolutely envious!

"Your company is very lucky."

Handsome Kun scoffed:
"lucky?"

"If you want to be prominent in public, you must suffer in private."

"You only see that we have developed such drugs, but have you ever thought about the investment we have made in drug research and development?"

Simon looked at Liang Kun with suspicion.

Who in Hong Kong doesn't know that the Wong Choi Group's rise to prominence was nothing short of meteoric?
If it's a large-scale, long-term investment, where does the money come from?

But this is something that definitely won't be said publicly.

Simon could only manage a wry smile:

"I said the wrong thing."

Handsome Kun stood up and said:
"Alright, that's done. I should go now."

Ximen was greatly alarmed:

"Li, you didn't invite me here just to sell me this kind of stuff, did you?"

Lam Kwan waved his hand:
What is sales?

I'm trying to help you!

Ximen angrily said:

"We all know what it is."

"You can't just finish your own work and leave me alone, can you?"

When Liang Kun returned, he wrapped his arms around Ximen's neck and said earnestly:

"Master Ximen, in my hometown there's a saying: 'Food and sex are human nature!'"

"What's the point of making so much money if you can't even meet your basic needs?"

"Look at the little blue pill on your body."

"Don't tell me it's just a simple little blue pill."

"In my opinion, this is a powerful tool for public relations."

"The men of Chongqing are no longer as carefree as they were when they were young, and they often find themselves lacking the strength to keep up as they get older."

"You paid me $100,000 for this thing."

“If you can’t make a million dollars in profit by reselling it, then you’re not worthy of the title of ‘big boss’.”

Ximen gritted his teeth and said:
"Of course I know that, and I thank you for that."

"But Li, you should know what I want most."

Young Kun waved his hand again:

"I know, it's just Jardine Matheson!"

Ximen pressed on, asking:
"Does your group have any intention of selling?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

“Binny and I mean that it is not for sale.”

"As you know, real estate holds a significant place in Hong Kong."

"However, Ado said that business must be conducted with integrity, after all, we have signed a memorandum with you."

"We had no choice but to agree."

Liang Kun said seriously,
"According to the memorandum, it is HK$2.2 billion, and not a single penny less is acceptable."

Ximen was initially overjoyed, but then his face fell.
But we don't have that much cash!

Handsome Kun snorted coldly:
"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

"I still have some time now, but once I get busy in a while, you won't be able to see me even if you want to."

"It's not just me, Ado and Binni are both busy."

"By the way, you can go to Ah Zhong, but Ah Zhong doesn't handle the specifics."

Ximen gritted his teeth and said:
"Can we exchange our assets for it?"

Lam Kwan nodded:
"Yes, Mandarin Oriental Hotel..."

Simon's expression changed drastically.

“You definitely won’t give it to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, so we’ll take Wellcome Supermarket instead. We’re also expanding our community consumption here.”

"We want all the Wellcome supermarkets."

"How about we have a third-party accounting firm evaluate the specific price first, and then we can discuss it with each other?"

Simon stared intently at Liang Kun:

"Li, are you in charge of this deal?"

Liang Kun looked at Xi Men speechlessly:

"I'm a big boss, do you think I have nothing better to do than deliver medicine to you?"

Simon immediately beamed with joy:

"Then it's settled."

Handsome Kun bluntly said:
My advice is that you need to be fast.

"I'm so busy right now, I don't even have time to rest."

"You know about the Sham Shui Po project, and I need to get involved."

"And this pharmaceutical factory..."

"I'm very busy."

Simon nodded quickly:

"I understand, I understand, we're all busy."

Handsome Kun stood up triumphantly:
"That's it."

"Call me when you've made all the arrangements."

Simon smiled and stood up as well:
"This meal is on me!"

Liang Kun laughed heartily.

Ximen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Great! We've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

To be honest, Simon's heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw the little blue pill.

Too scary!

If this little blue pill were to hit the market, Simon was certain that Wong would never lack revenue.

The wealthier and more powerful a person is, the greater their demand for this kind of thing.

They're willing to pay any price for something that can truly restore their virility.

Just now, Simon really felt as if he had returned to his youth.

Those were truly wonderful years!
Unfortunately, it can only be used for seven consecutive days before needing to be stopped for three or four days, but that's enough.

Simon felt that he might not be able to live without this precious little pill from now on.

If you judge others by your own standards, then everyone else must be the same way.

If Hutchison Whampoa has invested heavily in this area, it's conceivable that they are truly not short of money.

In fact, they are not short of money now that the funds from Hutchison Whampoa have arrived.

This is why Simon was anxious!

They genuinely have no shortage of cash—Hutchison Whampoa was able to quell the bank run caused by HSBC and then make massive investments back home, which shows that they truly don't care about money.

In this situation, who is the one who suffers?
Still Jardine Matheson!

Anyone who wants to redeem their land must hope that the other party has an urgent need for it.

Some time ago, Simon was almost in despair; otherwise, he wouldn't have pressed a senior employee of the telecommunications department for answers.

Fortunately, we are now seeing a glimmer of hope.

The moment Liang Kun agreed, Xi Men suddenly felt a little anxious.

Everyone knows that Hongkong Land is the real land king of Central, and Hutchison Whampoa also has a presence in the real estate sector.

If they really want to develop together, Jardine Matheson has no chance whatsoever.

Because of this, Ximen hadn't slept well for several days.

Now that he had received confirmation of Liang Kun's whereabouts, Simon was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

It's just a simple dinner party, a mere $100,000; he'd be willing to pay any amount more!
Simon was genuinely willing to spend more money, after all, he had prepared 2.2 billion.

He was extremely respectful to Liang Kun. To Liang's mother's astonishment, Simon respectfully helped Liang Kun into the car.

The mother's expression was very complicated: "Liang Kun and Wang Dao are really not in the same world as us!"

She couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He had just yelled at Liang Kun.

Fortunately, Liang Kun did not pursue the matter.

I'm so glad!
After seeing Liang Kun off, Ximen turned to Liang's mother and said:
"Take good care of the ladies I just ordered. I'll come back later."

The beautiful mom immediately put on a smile:
“Boss Ximen is a distinguished guest—no problem, those girls won’t be serving other guests anymore.”

"They will be the goldfish in my shop."

"Goldfish that only Simon Taipan can taste!"

Simon laughed heartily, then turned and pulled out a check:
"sensible!"

The pretty mom waved her handkerchief and said:
"Come again next time, kindergarteners!"

After Simon Dad disappeared from sight, the pretty mom glanced at the check in her hand:
"One hundred thousand?"

"It's alright!"

"However, it's less than I expected."

"You stingy old man!"

The pretty mom swayed her plump hips as she went back to her office.

In Liang Kun's car, Li Jie asked:
"Uncle Ding, where are we going?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"Go to Uncle Long's place!"

"By the way, call Binni and Jiang Sheng too. Don't say I didn't give them a chance."

Li Jie contacted them immediately.

Fifteen minutes later, Brother Long watched with a smile as Handsome Kun brewed tea:

"Ah Kun, you're such a busy person these days, it's really not easy to see you."

Young Kun protested:
"I am indeed very busy, but if you want to see me, I must pay my respects no matter how busy I am."

Brother Long waved his hand:
"Forget it, you finally got on the right path, while I'm still navigating the underworld. I'm just glad to know you're doing well."

People from two different worlds, one of whom is in a high position, have no need to merge.

Brother Lung was very respectful to Brother Lung, and Brother Lung wasn't ungrateful, so he naturally respected Brother Lung's feelings in return.

This is the most basic understanding of human relationships.

Jiang Tianyang looked at Brother Long and Liang Kun, then at Han Bin, and asked in confusion:
"Brother Kun, is there anything you need me to do?"

Jiang Tianyang found the people Liang Kun had gathered to be very strange. What could these people possibly do together?
It's unbelievable just thinking about it.

Han Bin also looked at Liang Kun:

"Brother Kun, I'm very busy. I'm going to Canada tomorrow, and there are still many things I haven't taken care of."

"Can't you just call if you need anything?"

Young Kun shouted:
"Of course it's a good thing!"

Han Bin said in astonishment:
"Can't we also tell good news over the phone?"

Liang Kun chuckled:

"Tell me over the phone? I'm afraid you'll regret it!"

He tossed a strip of blue pills onto the table.
"Hey, I, Ah Kun, am the most sentimental!"

"I won't forget my brothers when I get good stuff."

"But you all know our rules."

“I just sold one to Simon, the head of Jardine Matheson, for a price of one thousand dollars.”

"You don't need to give so much, just a token amount will suffice."

Han Bin immediately bristled:

"A thousand dollars a pill?"

"Are you robbing a bank?!"

Handsome Kun scoffed:
"Where can you get money faster and safer than robbing a bank?"

"Do you know how much Simon asked for?"

Han Bin asked, puzzled:
"How many?"

Leung Kwan holds up one finger:

"A thousand pills!"

Han Bin exclaimed:
"Isn't that a million dollars?"

Liang Kun sneered:
“He wants so much, but I won’t give it to him.”

"I gave him a hundred pills, and he gave me a check for a hundred thousand dollars!"

Brother Long quickly reminded him:
"Ah Kun, Ah Dao said, whoever leaves the powder will be killed."

Handsome Kun was speechless:

"Boss, I'm going to sell powder?"

"It's slow to make money and it's not safe!"

"This thing was made by Ado."

Jiang Tianyang laughed and said:
"What are these little pills for?"

Liang Kun chuckled:

"nice one."

"A great thing that will make you a force to be reckoned with in bed."

"You guys were the first people I thought of, aren't you nice of me?"

Brother Long was overjoyed:

"Is it really that powerful?"

Liang Kun shrugs:

"Sure!"

"I've tried it myself, and my wife said I was incredibly vigorous last night!"

Han Bin was quick; as soon as Liang Kun finished speaking, he grabbed the little blue pill.

But to his surprise, Brother Long's hand was even faster!
Brother Long snatched the item in his hand with lightning speed:
"You two are just bullying this old man."

"You even stole what Ah Kun gave me?!"

Han Bin looked at Jiang Tianyang, who awkwardly withdrew his hand.

The two exchanged a glance, then looked at Liang Kun simultaneously:

"Brother Kun, is that all there is?"

"Who needs this?"

Everyone here has this need; if no one does, then no one should criticize anyone else.

Needless to say, before meeting Wang Dao, Liang Kun would relieve his lust three to five times a day.

Brother Long and Jiang Tianyang are getting old, and Han Bin is also reaching an age where he can no longer keep up with his strength.

Their demand for this stuff is huge!

Seeing the two of them, Liang Kun burst into laughter. After laughing, he took out two more trays and gave them to the two of them.

"Hey, one of these a day is enough."

"After eating it for seven consecutive days, you must stop for three or four days."

"This stuff is medicine, and all medicines have some degree of toxicity. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

Brother Long counted the number of medicines and immediately said with disdain:
"This isn't even enough for a month!"

Handsome Kun said speechlessly:
“Brother Long, you’re getting old. Just take one pill every three or four days as exercise.”

"What kind of talk is it to use it for a long time?"

Brother Long rolled his eyes:
"I like!"

Liang Kun said helplessly:
"Alright, alright, you're my boss, you're right."

He took out two more boards and handed them to Brother Long.

"From now on, I'll send you three tablets every month as a token of my respect!"

Brother Long sighed:
"Ah Kun, you're a big boss, a billionaire, don't be so stingy."

"Give me more, I want to show off to Boss Jin from Xinliansheng!"

Handsome Kun laughed and scolded:
"Master Jin is a cultivator of Taoism. How could you use something to undermine his resolve?"

Brother Long asked:

"Are you going to give it to me or not?"

Liang Kun was helpless:

"That's what happens when you're my boss!"

"Give, give, give!"

"Look, one hundred of these are worth one hundred thousand US dollars!"

Brother Long then beamed with joy.

Han Bin asked:

"Brother Kun, where did these pills come from?"

Handsome Kun said smugly:
"The drug developed by Ado is currently undergoing double-blind trials in order to expedite the approval process."

"Ado said this stuff has very few side effects and is even somewhat good for blood vessels."

"Anyway, I've used it and it works great."

"By the way, I'll be in charge of this 'Energy' pharmaceutical factory from now on."

Han Bin and Jiang Tianyang exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

Isn't the little blue pill supposed to be in charge of "energy"?
Liang Kun chuckled:

“The approval process in my hometown is very strict, and it will take another year before it goes public.”

"Now, if you want to use medicine, you can only get it from me."

"This medicine is precious, and there is no other way to get it except through me."

"As for how much you need, I'll just give it to you directly."

Jiang Tianyang made outrageous demands:
"Brother Kun, I want 100,000 pills!"

Liang Kun spit out his tea with a "pfft," scattering it all over the floor. He stared at Jiang Tianyang in disbelief.
"Jiang Sheng, are you eating this like candy?"

Jiang Tianyang chuckled:
"No, I want to operate in the Siamese black market."

“I’ve calculated it. A person needs to consume 20 pills a month, which is 240 pills a year.”

"Ten thousand pills would only be enough for forty-one people."

"There are far more than forty-one wealthy people in Siam?"

After a long silence, Liang Kun gritted his teeth and said:
"No, that's too much!"

Jiang Tianyang asked:
"How much can you give me?"

After thinking for a moment, Liang Kun said:

"I can't give you an answer right now. Ask Ado later."

"However, I must remind you that our pharmaceutical company can go public in as little as a year."

"Be careful, after these products are launched, others might cause you trouble."

Jiang Tianyang said indifferently:

"impossible."
