Chapter 380: How to play?
"Looking for a place to chat?"
Faced with Xiang Yan's invitation, Ge Zhixiong and Luotuo stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and did not refuse.
Ten minutes later, several people arrived at Xinji's territory, a three-story teahouse.
At this time, there were still some guests having morning tea, gathered in the lobby on the first floor, while the second floor was the private room. Under the leadership of Xiang Yan, several people went straight to the third floor.
"This place is usually not open to the public, so you don't have to worry."
After Xiang Yan said this, he took the main seat without hesitation, and his younger brother started to serve tea.
The camel looked at the decoration inside the house, then looked away and sat on the wooden chair.
Ge Zhixiong was even more direct and said, "I won't drink the tea. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Xiang Yan glanced at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Good things are worth waiting for."
Ge Zhixiong immediately retorted: "I'm afraid the food is not good and the tea is not good!"
Wei Longhao just confronted him, and he didn't dare to refute.
Now Xiang Yan confronts him, he won't tolerate it!
At this time, the camel standing nearby stepped out to act as a peacemaker and advised: "Everyone present here is a big boss, why do you have to quarrel in front of your little brother?"
Xiang Yan and Ge Zhixiong didn't say anything, they just snorted at each other.
After the tea was served, Ge Zhixiong took a sip from the cup, then put it down and said, "Now that we have had our tea, we should say whatever we want to say, right?"
In fact, compared to Xiang Yan, he prefers to interact with Wei Longhao.
Because although Wei Longhao is strong, he still does things in an orderly manner. Once he spits on the ground, it is as solid as a nail. He will never go back on his word. No matter how much or how little you earn by cooperating with him, it will definitely not be in vain.
But Xiang Yan is different. He likes to play the trick of building a plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang. He talks a lot of big words and makes all kinds of promises, but in fact he can't do it at all and is not credible at all.
Cooperating with such people is not as tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, but it is almost the same.
"After all these years, you're still the same, always so anxious about everything."
Xiang Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip before continuing slowly, "Now that Wei Long Hao has taken over Hong Xing, I don't believe you don't have any thoughts in your mind."
"After all, in terms of strength, your Number Gang is the weakest besides Hongxing."
Ge Zhixiong was not panicked at all, and even smiled, saying: "Xiang Yan, don't think I don't know what you are planning, but I really tell you, let alone Hutchison Whampoa, even if you take down Sun Kee as well, I will not panic at all."
"Don't worry about what Wei Longhao actually thinks. If Jiang Tiansheng hadn't provoked me first, I believe the situation wouldn't have turned out like this."
"If you want to use such a low-level method of sowing discord to make me and Wei Longhao have a dirty fight, then you are really overthinking it..."
In fact, is Ge Zhixiong really not panicked?
Panic!
But don’t panic!
The most fundamental reason is that the Number Gang’s territories are too scattered and most of them are relatively remote, either in the suburbs or in the countryside, so there is no potential to be seen in the short term.
Ko Chi-hung believes that Wei Lung Ho, which owns Yau Tsim Mong, would not be interested in such a piece of land.
Seeing that his plan failed, Xiang Yan came up with another one and quickly changed the subject. He then said, "You have seen the development of Hutchison Entertainment. The value of the artists they have is not low. They will definitely continue to create considerable profits."
"The Hong Kong film and television market is booming right now. We can't let Hutchison take the cake, right?"
"Such a huge market is here. If we don't enter now, wouldn't it be a waste of resources?"
The reason why this film and television company was established was actually because of Xiang Yan's instruction behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could a guy who was not favored by the family achieve this?
Lin Zehao, who is also a man of the same trade, has already clearly carved out a path. All they have to do is follow in his footsteps and imitate him.
Even if he cannot surpass Lin Zehao, he can clean up some of his industries and slowly move towards legitimate business, and there will be no problem in the end.
Although people who have reached the level of Xiang Yan and others may have various shortcomings, they are definitely not fools.
International public opinion is turbulent now, and the two sides have started negotiations again. People's minds are unsettled, and the situation at this moment seems to be shrouded in a fog, making it difficult to see the way forward.
However, no matter what, there are some things that absolutely cannot be given up, and they are the capital for their survival!
Therefore, on this basis, Xiang Yan needs to think about how to better avoid some risks.
He didn't consider himself a genius and couldn't think of any creative solutions, but Lin Zehao had already set an example for everyone in Hong Kong's underworld. They, the latecomers, only needed to follow suit.
Xiang Yan has no way to imitate other aspects for the time being, but the film and television company is the easiest, so he instructed other family members to do it.
Firstly, Lao Shi had been an actor before and had been in the entertainment industry, so he at least had some connections and was familiar with professional procedures. Another reason was that if he were replaced by other family members who had real power in Xinji, they would not think highly of these things and would definitely not be willing to go.
Taking all factors into consideration, only the tenth one is more suitable.
However, after the Qin Han incident, Xinji Film and Television Company simply couldn't find any influential artists. Some rotten sweet potatoes and stinky bird eggs would not have any effect no matter how many there were.
That’s why Xiang Yan said what he just said.
"I'm sorry, I'm old and don't really understand these trendy businesses."
"I have something else to do at the club. I'll leave first."
Ge Zhixiong didn't give any face at all. After saying one sentence, he immediately got up and left.
He had experienced Xiang Yan's methods before, and since then he has been very reluctant to do business with him.
Although he couldn't hear anything wrong for the time being, Ge Zhixiong was sure that there must be something wrong.
Facing Ge Zhixiong's sudden departure, Xiang Yan's face looked a little ugly, but Luotuo beside him quickly came up and asked, "How does this film and television company work?"
Hearing this, Xiang Yan smiled immediately, but did not rush to speak. Instead, he picked up the teacup and said, "Drink tea, drink tea."
Just as the two of them were whispering, Chen Long and Hong Jinbao also stepped into the door of Hutchison House.
At this moment, they vaguely returned to the time when they first debuted. When they faced the camera for the first time, they just felt uncomfortable all over their bodies and were extremely awkward.
In fact, Chen Long's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.
Looking at the two people who were a little nervous, Zhou Runfa couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be nervous. Mr. Lin is a very easy person to get along with. He is definitely not what you think."
Once upon a time, Chow Yun-fat was as nervous as the two of them.
After all, in their impression, a big shot like Lin Zehao must be extremely difficult to get along with. Chen Long wiped the sweat from his forehead, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you, I'm not nervous, I'm just a little hot..."
Looking at his junior brother who was still being stubborn, Hong Jinbao said nothing and did not look that nervous at all.
In his opinion, since Lin Zehao was prepared to meet them, it meant that the situation was not that serious.
Otherwise, why not just send someone to do the job? Why go through all the trouble?
A few people took the elevator and just as they walked out of the corridor, they saw a group of people walking towards them, and the one leading them was Lin Zehao.
"Mr. Lin, why did you come out in person?" Zhou Runfa was surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Lin Zehao nodded slightly and said, "There are some urgent matters to deal with."
Then, he turned his attention to Chen Long and Hong Jinbao and said, "I already know about your two affairs. As long as you spread the word that you will not cooperate with Xinji's film and television company, this matter will be over."
"Also, if there's a chance, we can work together on a few films. I can speak to Golden Harvest about this, don't worry."
After Lin Zehao finished speaking, he left with a group of people.
This made everyone present a little confused, especially Chen Long and Hong Jinbao. They had imagined the meeting scene countless times, but never thought it would be like this.
The two looked at each other and saw relief and disappointment in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, Lin Zehao was indeed a magnanimous man and did not argue with them.
Sadly, they missed the opportunity to talk to such a great person.
It was not until the group of people walked away that Chen Long dared to ask, "Afa, what is going on?"
Zhou Runfa also shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe there is some urgent matter to deal with."
The world of the big guys is not something they can speculate about.
A huge group of people first came out of the entrance of Hutchison House, escorted Lin Zehao into the Rolls-Royce Silver Throat, and then got into their respective cars and started moving along the designated route.
Because it was extended, Yang Chengrong sat diagonally opposite Lin Zehao, with a black box that looked like a brick on his legs, except that there was an antenna-like device on it.
"This is the DynaTAC 8000X launched by Motorola. It's a mobile phone. In the future, no matter what kind of emergency situation you have, you can always contact me. You don't have to go to the roadside to find a phone booth anymore."
"I'll give each of you one, and I'll also notify everyone in the club who has a job to work with, to get one of these phones at their own expense."
"The official selling price is 25,000 Hong Kong dollars. I have a channel in America and smuggled a few containers in. The internal price is 15,000. If you want to buy it, I can give you the internal price."
Technology is developing at a rapid pace, and anything that remains stagnant is destined to be eliminated by the times.
This is true whether it is machines, humans, or even certain groups.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, a sense of urgency once again surged into Lin Zehao's heart.
The real opportunity for rapid development lies in these few years. If we fail to seize it, we will be passive in the future.
"Thank you, Brother Hao." Hearing his boss' words, Yang Chengrong immediately picked up the mobile phone on his lap and started tinkering with it. After a while, he found that this thing was actually nothing special. It was just a mobile phone, and it was very heavy.
"We are all brothers, why are we being polite to the big boss?"
"Are you taking Feijio and Lin Huaile with you?" Lin Zehao asked with a smile.
Yang Chengrong nodded heavily and said, "I've brought it with me. It's in the car behind."
Lin Zehao looked at Li Wenbin across from him and asked, "Has the personnel transfer started?"
Li Wenbin put down the mobile phone in his hand and said quickly: "Don't worry, Brother Hao, the first batch of 10,000 people are gathering and mobilizing. The fastest vanguard should be here in two hours."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lin Zehao patted Li Wenbin on the shoulder and said.
Twenty minutes later, the luxurious convoy drove into Kai Tak Airport.
The airport staff, who had received orders from above long ago, recognized the license plate number of the leading Mercedes-Benz and did not even dare to ask routine questions. They immediately raised the barrier and let the convoy enter the parking area.
"Who is this big shot? He's so big! He's driving a Mercedes-Benz with a tiger head and a Rolls-Royce, and there's even an extended version!"
Looking at the convoy in front of him, a colleague at the side couldn't help but ask, his words full of shock and envy.
For ordinary people like them, they may not be able to afford any of them in their lifetime.
"Nonsense, if I knew that, would I still be standing here guarding the gate?"
"No matter who he is, we can't afford to offend him."
The other person said something casually, then picked up the radio on the table and began to listen with great interest.
As the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur stopped at the escalator of the aircraft, the captain in charge of this flight immediately stepped forward and wanted to open the door, but was stopped by security personnel.
"Back off!"
Faced with the security personnel's warning, the captain immediately rubbed his hands, smiled awkwardly and stepped back.
Then, the rear door opened and Lin Zehao, wearing a high-end suit custom-made in Italy, appeared in the captain's sight.
"Don't be nervous, this is the captain of this trip."
After Lin Zehao said this, he smiled at the captain and boarded the plane surrounded by security personnel.
Then, two very good-looking stewardesses came up to him, showing a very sweet and decent smile, and said: "Mr. Lin, it is a great honor to serve you. If you have any needs, just let us know and we will do our best to meet them."
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the two flight attendants emphasized the word “demand” a little too much.
However, Lin Zehao seemed not to understand the deeper meaning of the words. He nodded slightly to the two smiling stewardesses and then walked to the window seat.
Of course, this temporarily rented private jet only has four sofa seats, and the other seats are not much different from those on civilian flights.
One of the stewardesses left in dismay, but the other one was still unwilling to give up and wanted to continue trying, but was stopped by Mai, "Sorry, our boss is going to rest, please talk to him later if you have anything to say."
After Lin Zehao sat down, Yang Chengrong and Li Wenbin also sat opposite him.
