Hong Kong variety show: I, Big Guy, didn't cheat!

102 What good are ideals? Can they be used as money?

A few more days passed, and before the banquet at the Cointreau Hotel even began, Ding Haokun became famous. His phrases, such as "I don't like money," "A small goal," and "I'm face-blind and can't tell if they're pretty or not," have all become popular catchphrases.

Even the Hong Kong students would tease Ding Haokun when they saw him, saying, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Ding, who doesn't know his wife is beautiful? Let me ask you, do I look pretty today? Oh, I forgot, you don't know, you're face-blind!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she was hoisted onto his shoulder and given a "family discipline" treatment. With a smile on her lips, she drifted off to sleep like a baby, realizing just how beautiful she was.

After several days of intense combat, Ding Haokun was fine, but the women dared not make any jokes, even the few women with exceptional talents.

That day, Ding Haokun was watching TV at Liang Yongqi's house when a woman with incredibly long legs, longer than life itself, was placed on his lap and casually played with.

"Kun, why don't you watch TV for a while, or my stockings will start pilling."

"What are you afraid of? I'll get you a hundred from the factory later. That's money, that's generosity!" That expression is exactly that of a nouveau riche.

Suddenly, a new news report appeared on the television: "Hello everyone, this is reporter Yue Huizhen on the scene. I am currently at Adam Smith School. The school has been hijacked by unidentified bandits, and there are hundreds of students and many teachers inside."

This is the live footage we captured. According to the people who took the school hostage, these people were undercover agents from the ZZ Department who were found, killed, and hung outside the school building!

Ding Haokun couldn't help but squint when he saw this scene. There was no such scene in the movie. No wonder he's a terrorist, he's so ruthless!

Various police officers arrived quickly, and the Flying Tigers were all present, with three command vehicles also arriving.

Many parents received the news and rushed over. Due to their special status, the scene was in complete chaos.

Upon seeing this scene, Ding Haokun's eyes lit up. These people included almost all of Hong Kong's high-ranking officials. If he rescued them, wouldn't he gain a great favor?

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and called Wang Sanri. "Fatty, have you contacted the professionals who can set up a movie theater chain?"

"Mr. Ding, we've found them. They're a high-ranking executive at Jiahe, deeply involved in the construction of Jiahe's Southeast Asian cinema chain. But they're still hesitant, after all, Haotian Pictures' brand isn't exactly prestigious; they've only ever made R-rated films before!"

"Hehe, so they're not giving me, Ding Haokun, any face. Have they forgotten my other identity after I became a councilor?"

Tell that person, either switch jobs and come work for me with double the salary, or I'll give his whole family wealth and a reunion at the bottom of the ocean!

A golden opportunity is before us. The planning for the cinema chain is urgent; give me a response within half an hour. If they still don't agree, I'll have someone else get to work.

Wang Sanri broke out in a cold sweat. Ding Haokun had been too polite to him, making him forget that Ding Haokun was still a leader of Hung Hing, the most ruthless gangster in all of Hong Kong.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ding, they will definitely agree. Don't make a move. I'll contact them by phone right now."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Yongqi looked at Ding Haokun curiously, "Weren't you not in a hurry before? Why are you suddenly making such a tough statement this time? You can't rush the location of a theater chain, after all, the good locations have already been taken by the existing theater chains."

Ding Haokun smiled nonchalantly, "Those cinema chains may seem glamorous, but they're really nothing special. Hong Kong is just a tiny place. Soon those big shots will owe me a huge favor. Why would I worry about not being able to handle the cinema chain business?"

"What huge favor?"

"Look!" He pointed casually. "That's the Adam Smith School from TV. As long as I rescue their children and they cooperate with me, how could I possibly have trouble getting the theaters to open?"

Liang Yongqi's expression changed. "Stop messing around. This isn't some dwarf gang, those are terrorists! They're armed with heavy weapons. Don't even bother killing the police from the Ministry of Public Security. You still want to join in the fun?"

"John Bull's Sixth Division is a joke, let alone the Politburo. Don't worry, I, Ding Haokun, never do anything I'm not sure I can handle. You haven't even given me any children yet, and I have billions in assets with no one to inherit them. I can't bear to die!"

"You should let your men handle it. You're too big, too conspicuous, and too easy to spot."

Ding Haokun chuckled, pulled the person close and hugged them. "Don't worry, I have a top-notch assassin. I won't do it myself. I value my life!" He then bowed his head and gave a French kiss, their lips swaying in the breeze.

If the phone hadn't rung, I would have had to omit three or five hundred thousand words.

"Mr. Ding, they've agreed and want to meet with you to discuss it further."

"What's the name of the person you're looking for?"

"Shi Nansheng, you must know her husband, his name is Xu Ke, he's a director, he's really good at making martial arts films, the kind that I have to admit defeat to."

"Oh, it's her! I heard she's a very talented producer. Our Haotian Pictures needs that kind of talent. Tell her that if her husband is willing to work for Haotian, I can invest in the script!"

"Okay, I'll pass it on."

"Well, as for the meeting, let's do it tomorrow. Zhiwei Restaurant on the third floor of Haotian Building, 11:00 AM. I'll be waiting for her!"

"Okay, no problem!"

After hanging up the phone, Ding Haokun thought for a moment and immediately called Assistant Commissioner of Police William. He figured he had to act quickly if he wanted something in return, or he would lose out to Zhou Xingxing.

"William, my friend, I heard you're in trouble?"

Before the foreigner could react, he exclaimed, "Oh, Mr. Ding, my dearest friend and family, what trouble could I possibly be in? I was just about to take my family on a Christmas vacation to Hawaii to enjoy the sun and sand!"

"Didn't you see the news?"

He finally realized what was going on. "You mean the Adam Smith School? That has nothing to do with me. My child is studying at Cambridge. Even if everyone at the school died, I wouldn't be sad."

"Heh, have you considered that if something really happens at the school, will you still be able to keep your position as Assistant Commissioner of Police secure?"

"Haha, my friend, thank you for thinking of me. But I really don't care. I'm rich now. If I can't stay in Hong Kong, I can always go back to John Bull and become an official. My family will take care of things for me!"

Ding Haokun almost couldn't help but curse. Damn it, he had accidentally fattened up this foreign devil too much and made him lie flat.

"Since that's the case, then forget it. I have a super soldier under my command who can help you sort out this trouble. Since you don't need him, then forget it! Have a great time in Hawaii, goodbye!"

"Wait, can you really do it?" William perked up at this question.

"If we can't do it, it's not our fault; if we do, it's our achievement. What do you think?"

"Oh God, you're a genius! Get your super soldiers moving! I'm waiting for your good news!"

"Of course I can lend a hand, but I'm planning to establish a cinema chain soon, and I need land. I think those people will help me because they owe me a favor, right?"

"Of course, absolutely no problem. I guarantee it for them. I'll talk to them personally when the time comes."

"OK, my super soldiers will be in action soon. Just wait for the good news on the news, my friend!"

After hanging up the phone, he pulled Yongqi close and kissed him. "You're such a lucky star! Stay home, get all clean and wait for me. I'll reward you handsomely then!"

She couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Then you'd better not come to my house. I'm scared of dying. I'll wait for you at Haotian Building!"

"No problem, wait for my victorious return!" Sure enough, what wholehearted devotion? You know she'd be overwhelmed if she knew, so she'd naturally find someone to share the burden.

When he got downstairs, he had already changed into a leather bag, took out a motorcycle from his ring, got on, and headed towards Adam Smith.

Instead of going to the crowded school gate, he went directly to the air-raid shelter, changed into a student uniform, and was spotted by terrorists as soon as he came out of the shelter.

Meanwhile, reporters and police officers also spotted him, wondering why someone would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Two thugs rushed over with guns drawn. "Stop! Who are you?"

Ding Haokun said arrogantly, "Damn it, you don't even recognize me? I'm Long Aotian! What are you guys doing? Playing a cosplay game? Count me in, I want to play the discipline master."

"What the hell is Long Aotian? If you dare to make a move, I'll beat you to death. Where did you come from? What were you doing?"

"Hehe, I'm a bit of a glutton, so I ordered takeout and went off to eat in the air-raid shelter over there. Not many people know about it, but it's my secret base!"

The two terrorists exchanged a glance and quickly picked up their walkie-talkies to report the situation at the air-raid shelter. With a loud explosion, the shelter collapsed.

"Fuck, you destroyed my secret base! How am I supposed to farm now? You better give me an explanation!" He looked angry, but inwardly he was praising them for doing a good job. This time, Stephen Chow and his crew wouldn't be able to get in.

The terrorist raised his gun and fired a burst of shots at his feet. "Is this explanation enough?"

Ding Haokun's eyes suddenly became as clear as a college student's. "Enough, enough! You should have said so earlier if you were using real guns. I thought you were playing a game!"

"You're kidnappers, right? So you want money. How much do you want to release me? My dad's Long Fugui, our family owns mines up north, we have nothing but money and coal. If you release me, 100 million RMB is no problem!"

One sentence left these terrorists completely dumbfounded: "Really that much money?"

"Nonsense, didn't you know when you made your move? Most of the students here come from very wealthy families. So you weren't after money?"

"We're doing this for an ideal!" One of them couldn't help but raise his head, pretending to be very devout.

With a "pfft," Ding Haokun laughed out loud. "What kind of ideals are these days? You either need to be rich or have connections. What good are ideals? Can they feed you? Can they sleep with you? Can they be used to drive a yacht or as a ticket to travel around the world?"

When the world really comes to an end, it's the rich and powerful who get on board first. Idealistic? Sorry, you'll just be waiting to die down below!

You guys are pretty handsome, but do you have any girls? Look at those pot-bellied, bloated fat guys, they're always surrounded by beautiful women, is it because they have ideals?

If I were you, I'd take me to your boss right now to discuss how to raise money. The students here all come from families that can easily come up with at least five million, and some, like me, can even manage a hundred million.

"After this trip, you'll make a billion or two hundred million. Do you still have any dreams left?"

The two men exchanged a glance. "I think he's right, but our leader is a follower of the chief. Will he listen to us?"

Ding Haokun looked at them calmly. "In my hometown, every coal mine was seized. What's the big deal if a few people die? These days, if anyone tries to stop me from getting rich, I'll kill them. What do you think?"
