Chapter 27 Aftermath
After the three big guys came out one after another, Gu Liwei put away the map on the wall and said disdainfully: "Mr. Chen, these people don't understand business at all. Talking to them is just about playing the piano with a cow. Just send a manager over here. Why explain it yourself?"
"Vivian." Chen Chong put on a suit jacket and said, "There are 100,000 underworlds in Hong Kong. They are only 20 or 30 years old. They have a considerable force and manage hundreds of younger brothers. It's not simple, don't underestimate them."
"They still manage it?" Gu Liwei is a rich girl and has returned from studying abroad. She has prejudice against these gangsters. She sneered and said, "By fists and drugs management?"
"You are wrong to think so." Chen Chong said seriously: "The more you get at the bottom, the more pressure you are in the competition. Those who can make a name for themselves are capable. Xiang Huaqiang has an extraordinary family background, calm and unpretentious, Chen Huimin is both black and white, and has a wide connection. If you look at Wu Zhixiong again, he looks vulgar and looks like a gangster, but he is actually very scheming. He has no family background and no background. He has joined the underworld for less than ten years. He has gone from a country gangster to become the eldest brother of Causeway Bay. If he only relies on his fists, he will die many times."
"But Mr. Chen, it's okay to let them fight." Gu Liwei was still dissatisfied and said, "Can they do a videotape business with a market capacity of over 100 million yuan?"
"They can't do it." Chen Chong opened the door of the box and asked her to go first, then said: "Xiang Huaqiang has a big brother, Chen Huimin has a master, and Wu Zhixiong is just a middle-level boss. They can't make the decision in this kind of business with a tens of millions of dollars. I will explain it myself, first, give them face, and the people in the martial arts world love face the most; second, we must confirm that the details are correct, and they will not make any mistakes when they repost it. After all, I just changed the previous plan in the afternoon and asked others to explain it, but I can't explain it clearly."
Walking out of the Great Restaurant in Yingjing, Chen Chong raised the key in his hand and said, "Vivian, don't take a taxi anymore, I'll take you back."
Gu Liwei looked at the empty streets, wrapped her windbreaker, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"Wait for me here, I'll go pick up the car."
After getting into the car, Gu Liwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's so cold."
"Is this cold?" Chen Chong laughed and said, "You have never been to the mainland. It is really cold in the north. Hong Kong is still above zero."
"Maybe there are no people on the street." Gu Liwei looked at the neon lights outside the car window and said, "It's deserted, so I feel cold."
In 19RU, the center of Hong Kong Island was still around Admiralty in Central. Wan Chai was not particularly prosperous. Moreover, in this era, nightlife and entertainment activities were not particularly rich. At around 10 o'clock in the evening, there were basically no people walking around on the streets.
Drive the car, bypassing two street corners, and pass by the door of the palace nightclub again, which is not deserted at all. The police lights are flashing, and the police in uniform are escorting a group of red men and green women into the car, and the noise is coming one after another.
"What's wrong?"
The speed of the vehicle was not slowing down, and he said, "The police will check temporarily, or fight drug control, who knows?"
When cooperating with the underworld, we must be prepared. In addition to making friends with Xiang Huaqiang and others, Chen Chong never gave up establishing friendly relations with the police. He has a clean background and strong funding. He does not need to hide his relationship with the police. Therefore, last year, he met many senior police officials by sponsoring internal police activities and donating physical office items. In addition, he has incorporated Chen Xinjian, and his connections naturally became Chen Chong's connections.
Get to know high-ranking officials above and grassroots below, and temporarily check a nightclub run by a gangster, just one phone call.
Shen Chong made a big fuss, the main purpose is not because of the so-called Young Master Chen, but because of the fangs. The underworld is a chronic disease in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. It has historical reasons and practical problems and cannot be eradicated. He is not the governor of the Hong Kong world now, nor is he the Chief Executive in the future. It is not his duty to crack down on the underworld. He only needs to protect his artists and avoid being harassed by the underworld as much as possible.
The underworld has not yet penetrated into the entertainment industry on a large scale, but it has been testing it. For example, Xiang Huaqiang is a rich young man with a good family background. Chen Huimin is the policeman. He is in the era of the most corruption in the Hong Kong police circle. He made a fortune by collecting black money just by collecting black money. Later, he went out to be the underworld and was the boss of Tsim Sha Tsui and was not short of money at all. Wu Zhixiong is rich and powerful, and the boss of Causeway Bay has a great status in the martial arts world. However, these three people have been lingering in the entertainment industry, and the protagonists and supporting roles are all played. They are also divided into three largest underworld organizations in Hong Kong. Speaking of acting, it is purely for personal hobbies, who believes?
When dealing with the underworld, it is not enough to rely on temptation alone. It will be regarded as a sucker, so you have to use some coercion. At this time, the relationship in the police industry will come in handy.
"By the way." After sending Gu Liwei downstairs, Chen Chong asked: "Vivian, what is my schedule for tomorrow?"
"At 9 am, give a speech at the University of Hong Kong." Gu Liwei replied quickly: "A dinner with Chinese teachers and students at noon, at 2 pm, interviewing the assistant general manager, and having dinner with Na at the restaurant at 7 pm."
"Okay, I get it." Chen Chong nodded and said, "Good night."
"If you want to succeed and do a career, there is a prerequisite." Chen Chong wore a long-sleeved blue and white plaid shirt and blue jeans, and a pair of white board shoes on his feet. He stood on the podium in the auditorium and talked happily: "This prerequisite is to correctly understand the era we live in. Most people cannot understand the era, and can only follow the era and follow the era. These people are ordinary people, ordinary people, unknown people, and just live alone. I think everyone here does not want to be such a person."
"Every era should have its ideals. To realize it, a group of people need to stand up to study the academic needs of the ideals, lead the era in order to develop the careers needed by the ideals, so that society can make progress and our future will be better."
“And what are the ideals of this era we are in now?”
"I think it is information, communication, better communication between people, and more integration between culture and culture. This ideal requires the following conditions..."
The speech that Chen Chong delivered now has nothing to do with movies, but is just warming up for the job fair of Oriental Charm. The company is expanding rapidly and the talent is scarce. As a training base for Hong Kong civil servants, the University of Hong Kong has emerged in many elites and rich human resources. It is an ideal place to recruit talents.
“…that’s all I want to say today, thank you everyone.”
After Chen Chong finished speaking, he bowed and ended. A sparse applause rang out from the audience. After more than ten minutes of receiving questions from several students gossip reporters, the speech was over.
"It seems that students from the University of Hong Kong have a high vision." Walking out of the auditorium, Chen Chong said to Gu Liwei: "I believe that at the job fair in the afternoon, few people will submit resumes."
"Who told Mr. Chen that you were once a student of the University of Hong Kong?" Gu Liwei held a stack of documents and smiled: "It's so embarrassing to say it out."
"It's really embarrassing to wait ten years later and nothing can be achieved."
Chen Chong wanted to say something, but heard someone calling his name. Looking back, it was Qinghong, a lawyer who had dinner with him last night.
"Lawyer Qing." Chen Chong looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I came to find Mr. Chen." Qinghong opened the briefcase, took out a note from it, handed it to him, and said, "This is a cash check of two million Hong Kong dollars."
Chen Chong took it and saw that it was indeed a registered check from Standard Chartered Bank. The payee was Teresa Teng, and the signature payer was Chen Dacheng, the father of Chen Dashen.
"Mr. Chen, you really have the means." Qinghong raised his thumb and said, "I just issued a lawyer's letter last night, and I didn't even fight the lawsuit. I received compensation this morning. I have been a lawyer for 8 years. This is the first time that the case has been closed so quickly. I admire it."
Chen Chong smiled, he ejected the check and said, "This is a check for Teresa Teng, what did you give it to me?"
"Same, same." Qinghong said while following him: "This check was taken by Chen Huimin and asked me to hand it over to Mr. Chen. He also said that Chen Dacheng wanted to bring his son to apologize to Mr. Chen in person, and hoped that this matter would not affect the cooperation between the companies."
"There is no need to apologize. Tell him, let it go, it will not affect cooperation." Chen Chong looked at his watch, then handed the check to Gu Liwei, and said, "Miss Deng is flying at 1:00 pm. At this time, you should be at the airport. You drive my car and give her the check."
Gu Liwei did not participate in the first banquet last night, and she was not sure about the ins and outs of it. She held the check with a look of doubt and did not take action.
"Tell Miss Deng that this is a New Year red envelope." Chen Chong said with a smile: "I wish her good luck in the New Year and a lot of money."
After Gu Liwei left, Qinghong exclaimed in an envious tone: "Mr. Chen is so generous, I gave it out 00,000 yuan."
"It's just a smile for the daughter." Chen Chong laughed twice and asked, "I gave Wu Zhixiong the lawyer's letter last night. Why is Chen Huimin going to send your check today?"
"In 1976, Chen Huimin was accused of assaulting a police officer." Qinghong looked around and explained: "I helped him win the lawsuit, he was spared from prison, and I also became famous through this case, so my relationship has always been good. Now he is still one of my clients."
Chen Chong said in surprise.
In 1978, TV artist Lu Youhui and her husband Jin Tong have not divorced. A magazine reported that she had an extramarital affair. Qinghong accused the magazine of defamation on her behalf, but won the case and received 150,000 yuan in compensation, which is the highest amount of compensation in a defamation case in Hong Kong in history.
This case caused a sensation and involved in the entertainment industry, so it was still mentioned in 1979, so Chen Chong naturally heard of it. Moreover, Qing Hong was an assistant editor in the Far East Economic Review for a period of time, so he helped Teresa Teng fight a slander lawsuit and found him as soon as possible.
But I didn't expect that Qinghong and Chen Huimin still had such a connection.
"Chen Dacheng and Chen Huimin are distant relatives. Although they are not from the same club, they have close relationships." Qinghong explained again: "So he wants to be a peacemaker. Please ask Mr. Chen to give up his hands and let Chen Dacheng go."
"Chen Huimin is now a contracted actor in my company. I want to give him his face. I will not pursue this matter anymore." Chen Chong looked up at Shetang not far away and said, "I will notify the owners to keep the rent of the nightclub unchanged."
"I thank Mr. Chen Huimin for Chen." Qinghong changed his briefcase and said, "I heard that Chen Dacheng's only son was arrested last night for hiding drugs."
"That's not my business." Chen Chong smiled softly and said, "I am a law-abiding citizen and will never do anything that violates the law and obstructs judicial justice."
