Hong Kong films: Starting with Crossover and Luen Shing

Although sometimes the girls had to pay for the room, I've never let a single girl pay for a meal!

Upon hearing this, Yue Huizhen blushed.

"Mr. He is quite witty, but I think we should talk about something more serious."

"No rush, let's drink this glass of wine first."

As he spoke, He Yaozong poured himself half a glass of red wine, swirled the glass, and then took a small sip.

He put down his wine glass and spoke again.

"As far as I know, Mr. Shao from your TVB used to be on good terms with the Lee family."

The property that I and Wah Shing developed in Kowloon Walled City happened to block Hysan Development's path to wealth.

"Why would you, Miss, think of doing an exclusive interview with me? Are you just trying to smear me?"

Lok Wai-ching immediately shook her head.

"Mr. He is really too kind to me. We junior reporters don't need Mr. Shao's personal attention to do our work."

"It's just that I visited Kowloon Walled City and greatly admired Mr. Ho's righteous act, so I wanted to add a little something to his good fortune."

"It seems you, a TV reporter, are quite extraordinary."

I'm even planning to pay for columns in those newspapers, but I don't know what price the TV stations are asking for.

"Mr. Ho, I am also a senior reporter at TVB. Every month, I have the right to apply to the news department to occupy a segment for hot news during the midday slot."

If Mr. Ho trusts me, he might as well tell me his motives for building the Lok Fu Estate resettlement project.

I'll try to schedule a time tomorrow for an interview with Mr. He, which will then be broadcast on television. I believe the effect will be just as good as a newspaper column!

He Yaozong's smile widened.

"Demolishing other people's houses and building resettlement houses for them is not a matter of course!"

I'm really curious, what do you think my motives are for spending money to renovate this resettlement house?

This question stumped Lok Hye-ching.

Yes, I've learned almost everything I needed to know.

The resettlement contracts for the Chengzui area have been signed, and Hengyao Real Estate has also fully paid the start-up funds for the resettlement project!

What other motive could He Yaozong have?

If we must say he had some motive, it would be that he was rich, kind-hearted, or perhaps he wanted to accumulate good karma.

No matter what it is, Lok Wai-ching cannot find any fault with it.

For a moment, her gaze toward He Yaozong was filled with admiration.

"It is truly rare and precious that Mr. He has such a heart for saving the world and helping the people."

This approach is remarkably similar to that of Mr. Shao from TVB, and I'm confident that this interview will receive strong support from the news department!

"Forget it, I'm not as noble as you make me out to be."

However, on the other hand, I feel that Ms. Yue Huizhen, you've gone to such lengths to do this interview with me, perhaps for some ulterior motive?

When He Yaozong saw through her thoughts, a hint of panic flashed in Le Huizhen's eyes.

"What do you mean by that, Mr. He? Isn't it perfectly reasonable for us journalists to publicize such a righteous act?"

"All crows are black, Miss, don't overestimate yourself."

Ho Yiu-chung laughed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you know perfectly well that Hysan Development is holding onto the land around Kowloon Walled City and is making things difficult for me."

The reason for this interview is that I'm eager to hype up this incident.

Then you can use this opportunity to do long-term reporting on this commercial real estate battle, for at least a month, and you won't have to worry about running out of news, right?

Lok Wai-ching looked even more embarrassed and could only stammer a reply.

"Mr. He, how could you... how could you say that to me?"

I actually…

"Alright, after you finish your meal, leave me your business card."

I think you're quite charming. If there's any big news later, I'll definitely contact you immediately!

Before Lok Wai-ching could finish speaking, Ho Yiu-chung raised his wine glass and gestured to her.

Lok Wai-ching quickly composed herself, secretly relieved, and raised her glass, clinking it against Ho Yiu-chung's with a forced smile.

Chapter 123: Back then, Lee Hysan was shot in the back in Macau. Has your Lee family forgotten so quickly?

The following day, at the Regal Hotel in Causeway Bay.

In a meeting room on the seventh floor, a middle-aged man in a suit was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"Mr. Li, Miss Tang Judy from Washington is downstairs."

A young foreign assistant walked up to the middle-aged man and whispered a reminder.

The middle-aged man put down the newspaper in his hand and put his legs down from where he had crossed them.

"What about the dragon head of Wo Luen Shing?"

"You're here too. Shall we prepare some tea?"

"No need, please let them come up first!"

The person who met with Ho Yiu-chung and Wah Shing Properties was none other than Lee Chi-kai, the third-generation grandson of Lee Hysan and the executive vice president of Hysan Development.

Shortly after, Ho Yiu-chung and Tong Judy went upstairs and entered the reception room.

"Mr. Li!"

Judy Tang was dressed in dazzling jewelry this time, and Li Zhikai also got up to greet her and invited her to sit down on the sofa.

After greeting Tang Judy, Li Zhikai's gaze immediately fell on He Yaozong.

He Yaozong remained silent, took out a cigarette and lit it as if no one else was around.

"This is... the newly crowned leader of Wo Shing Pharma?"

"That's right!"

After He Yaozong gave a cold reply, Li Zhikai gave up the idea of ​​going over to shake hands with him.

He simply sat down, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He began, “Ever since I graduated from university, my family has arranged for me to develop my career in Australia. In the past ten years or so, I have returned to Hong Kong Island no more than twice.”

Looking back several decades, our Li family was a major client of the He family.

"I heard you used to work as a valet parking attendant in Causeway Bay. What, now that you've got some influence, you're thinking of blocking the Li family's path to wealth?"

The Lee family is a long-established wealthy family in Hong Kong Island, and in the past, they supported members of the On Lok family to set up a soft drink factory in To Kwa Wan.

Having promoted countless powerful figures in triads over the decades, Li Zhikai naturally felt a sense of superiority when dealing with He Yaozong.

At present, Li Zhikai only regards Huasheng Real Estate as the financial backer of Heliansheng, so his words are more of a warning.

After all, in the eyes of the Li family, Huasheng Real Estate was not even worthy of being mentioned in the public eye.

He Yaozong flicked the ash from his cigarette and glanced coldly at Li Zhikai.

"I have also heard that your grandfather wanted to sell opium in Macau, but he was shot by someone. Your grandmother spoke up on behalf of the family and never set foot in Macau again for the rest of her life."

It seems so much time has passed that you've all forgotten about these things.

"you……"

Li Zhikai was speechless for a moment. He never expected that the newly appointed leader of Wo Luen Shing would have such a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the world of martial arts and chivalry) and rough-and-tumble spirit!

I never expected him to expose such a weakness in front of me!

Seeing this, Tang Judy quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Mr. Li, we're here today to discuss business."

Let's not waste any more time on other things and get straight to business!

"it is good!"

After easing the awkwardness by taking the steps, Li Zhikai offered himself some words of comfort.

Getting into a fight with gangsters is really beneath one's dignity.

He cleared his throat and then spoke.

"Judy Tong, in Kowloon Walled City, there are now three companies involved: Hysan Development, Henderson Land Development, and China Resources Land."

I won't say more. I trust you can judge for yourself that your Huasheng Real Estate is no match for the combined forces of Hysan Development and Henderson Land Development.

I'm going to offer you a deal: you'll transfer the land you acquired, and Hysan Development and Henderson Land Development will join forces to allocate a plot of land in the New Territories as compensation.

Your withdrawal from the competition in Kowloon Walled City will benefit everyone.

Tang Judy couldn't help but feel displeased. Was this some kind of negotiation?

Can the land in the New Territories compare to that in Kowloon Walled City?

Hysan Development directly presented its terms, forcing Huasheng Real Estate to agree.

In response, Tang Judy could only glance at He Yaozong before speaking.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, the land in Kowloon Walled City is not owned by my Huasheng Real Estate alone."

Even if I agree, you'll still have to ask Mr. He from Hengyao Real Estate first!

Li Zhikai frowned, then answered.

"I just don't understand why Miss Judy Tom would choose a gangster as a partner."

Yesterday I kindly invited you over to negotiate, but last night he bribed Po Leung Kuk people to hold some kind of press conference at Lok Fu Estate!

That's not all. This morning I received news that Heng Yiu Properties is actually competing with Hysan Development for household registration rights in Yuen Long!

As he spoke, Li Zhikai's voice began to turn cold.

“Miss Tang Judy, the price I quoted you could have been a little higher.”
