Hong Kong Entertainment 1979: A Beating Up the Manager at the Start

late at night.

Li Jiangbo sat up in bed. He looked at Zhao Yazhi, who was fast asleep on his left, and then glanced at Pan Yingzi, who was snoring softly on his right.

He carefully put on his clothes and left the bedroom.

He didn't want to disturb them, mainly because they were both too tired at night.

When the three of them got home that evening, Zhao Yazhi started clamoring to make noodles, only to find that the dough hadn't even been kneaded yet.

After finally managing to knead the dough, Zhao Yazhi discovered that there was no rolling pin at home, leaving the three of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

Left with no other choice, Li Jiangbo had to personally make hand-pulled noodles for everyone.

In the end, Li Jiangbo was quite satisfied. They ate the noodles and the two of them fell asleep. However, whether they would be able to get up tomorrow was uncertain.

Li Jiangbo went to the study, sat down in a chair, and brought up the simulation panel.

Today, Zhao Yazhi talked about the matter of the electricity censorship department. He thought about it over and over again, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

So let's simulate it.

Li Jiangbo, with 21156 popularity points, is a household name.

During this period, Li Jiangbo's popularity has risen quite rapidly. "Happy Ghost 2" and "Dao Ma Dan" alone have increased his popularity by more than 10,000 points, not even counting the popularity of songs by Leslie Cheung and Time Girl, which also contribute to his popularity.

Spend 100 points to unlock a year of advanced simulation.

In late September 1980, your film "Taken" was prevented from being released due to various difficulties imposed by the Hong Kong Film Censorship Office.

In early October 1980, you sent your bodyguards to thoroughly investigate the matter. They discovered that Chen Tianfang was behind it all. You no longer held back and ordered Hutchison Whampoa to sink him into the sea.

In mid-October 1980, your glass and waste paper goods were seized by Hong Kong Customs. Although you had not violated any laws or regulations, the goods were still detained for three months.

In November 1980, while your goods were detained and your logistics company was investigated, the Number Gang began to seize market share and shipping opportunities. You started pulling strings and finding connections to compete with the Number Gang for market dominance.

In January 1981, your goods were detained for three consecutive months, and the company's cash flow began to shrink.

In June 1981, Hutchison Whampoa and the Numbers Gang began a fierce battle, resulting in heavy losses for both sides.

In August 1981, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) launched a full-scale crackdown on organized crime, arresting all the top executives of Hutchison Whampoa and the Number Gang. While the Hutchison Whampoa executives did not implicate you as the mastermind, the Number Gang did.

In September 1981, you were imprisoned in Stanley Prison on charges of organizing a triad.

[Simulation complete. Do you wish to claim your reward?]

[A: All the dirt on Number Gang.]

[B: Walking Hormones]

[C: All physical skills upgraded by level three]

Li Jiangbo looked at the simulation results and lit a cigarette.

I was too lenient with myself before. Li Jiangbo only showed leniency towards Chen Tianfang because of Shao Daheng's influence.

Who knew that the retaliation would come so fiercely, each time more brutal than the last!

It seems that one cannot be soft-hearted in anything.

The sudden attack by this number gang made Li Jiangbo suspect a conspiracy.

They didn't make their move earlier or later, but they chose to make their move precisely when their own film was being blocked by the film censorship department.

This made him suspect that Chen Tianfang was colluding with the Number Gang.

What followed was a chain reaction; Chen Tianfang and the Number Gang were just the trigger.

But what he was really facing were the actual managers of Hong Kong, those greedy foreigners.

Li Jiangbo can use torture on the short mule, but such methods are not acceptable when dealing with foreigners. Fortunately, only the censorship office and customs have been bribed so far.

He needs to rethink how to deal with it.

As for the simulated reward, Li Jiangbo encountered a reward he had never encountered before.

He really wanted to choose this one, but he didn't know the effect of the reward, which made him somewhat conflicted.

The first reward would reduce his opponent by one. He had also considered the third reward, but this time it was now level three.

After careful consideration, Li Jiangbo still chose to reward B.

After he pressed the confirm button, he felt something hit him on the back of the head.

Li Jiangbo instantly fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.

Li Jiangbo rubbed his aching head and walked out of the study.

As soon as I stepped out of the study, I saw Pan Yingzi in her pajamas, leaning against the wall, supporting her back, and pounding on the bathroom door with both hands.

"Ah Zhi! Are you feeling better yet?"

"Come in and help me up, I realize I can't straighten my back."

"My back is so sore I can't even straighten up, and you want me to help you? Are you kidding me?"

Pan Yingzi muttered to herself, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Li Jiangbo walk out of the study, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Bo-zai, hurry up and help your sister Zhi, I need to go to the toilet urgently."

Li Jiangbo pointed to himself, "You want me to help you up?"

Pan Yingzi immediately rolled her eyes at Li Jiangbo, "If you don't go to help, who will? Who told you to work so hard last night?"

Li Jiangbo grinned and chuckled, "Looks like I didn't put in enough effort yesterday. Wait a minute, I'll bring out Sister Zhi and then I'll bring you out."

......

When Li Jiangbo arrived at the company, it was already noon.

As soon as he arrived at the company, he called Awei and asked him to come over.

When Awei knocked on the door and came in, Li Jiangbo was standing by the window with a cigarette between his fingers.

"Boss, you were looking for me?"

Li Jiangbo turned around and gestured for him to sit down.

After Awei sat down, Li Jiangbo sat down opposite him and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"Awei, do you still remember Chen Tianfang?"

Awei shook his head. "I've heard the name, but I don't really remember it."

Li Jiangbo nodded. He only remembered after hearing Awei's words that he had dealt with Chen Tianfang himself, so it was normal that Awei hadn't met him.

Thinking of this, he continued, "There are two things I wanted to tell you."

"Boss, what is it?"

"First, keep a close eye on Chen Tianfang. I suspect he bribed people at the film censorship department to block my films."

"Secondly, keep a close eye on the people in the Number Gang and see if Chen Tianfang has any connection with them."

Upon hearing this, Awei suddenly realized what was going on and quickly asked, "Should we order the new 'Ten Mile Fragrance'?"

Li Jiangbo waved his hand, "Don't rush to control it. We need to find out the relationship between the two before taking action. Once we do take action, we must do it cleanly and obtain conclusive evidence."

Awei smiled, revealing a set of yellow teeth. "No problem, Wen is very good at this."

Li Jiangbo was completely bewildered. What was Awen good at? What did I say? I only told them to keep an eye on both sides, I didn't tell them to do anything else, did I?

Seeing Li Jiangbo's puzzled expression, Awei smiled and explained, "Awen has been watching 'The Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty' lately, and it's quite..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jiangbo threw a cushion from the chair at him.

"We are Han Chinese! Not Manchus! I can understand using torture methods recorded by the Han people, but using Manchu methods..."

Before Li Jiangbo could finish speaking, Awei stood up and ran away.

As he ran, he shouted, "Don't worry, boss, I'll get right on it."

Li Jiangbo shook his head helplessly and walked to his desk to call Zhao Dong.

"Hey, Ah Dong! Have you been taking a break from your waste paper and waste glass business in Hong Kong lately?"

"Yes, then we shouldn't stop in Hong Kong anymore. We should stop in another country along the way and then drive straight to the mainland."

After receiving Zhao Dong's affirmative answer, Li Jiangbo hung up the phone.
