Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already November 1966. Even Hong Kong Island, which has always been warm, has a chill.
In the past half year or so, Hong Kong Island has been calm and peaceful. The only thing worth mentioning is that Han Sen, a Chinese detective in Yuanma Tei, got into an accident while drunk and was killed on the roadside.
This can be considered a big event. Hong Kong Island is currently divided into three land areas, Kowloon, New Territories, and Hong Kong Island. Below are 21 district police stations.
The so-called chief Chinese inspector is the chief inspector of a region. For example, Lei Luo's current identity is the chief Chinese inspector of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, while his opponent Yan Tong is the chief inspector of the New Territories.
Below the Chief Inspector are Chinese detectives from various divisional police stations. However, not every police station has a Chinese detective. The Lantau Police Station where Uncle Jiu was originally affiliated did not even have a permanent plainclothes officer. How could that be possible?
Is there a detective?
Some detectives also command several divisional police stations. For example, Han Sen, the Yau Ma Tei detective, is in charge of the plainclothes police of three divisions in Yau Tsim Mong. He is definitely a high-ranking and extremely wealthy police officer.
The new detective of Yau Ma Tei Police Station three months ago was called Feng Jiu, known as Uncle Jiu. This Uncle Jiu was a ruthless man. In the 4 months since he took office, he solved 34 major cases in a row.
Tsk is the only Chinese detective in the Hong Kong Island Police Force who has established a firm foothold with his true ability in solving crimes and arresting murderers.
Another point worthy of praise is that Uncle Ninth does not charge fees. The people above and below do charge fees. He turns a blind eye and closes his eyes, but he does not charge any fees!
Under the comprehensive cover of Lei Luo's black gold empire, the Yau Tsim Mong District, which is the most prosperous, actually has such an alternative and can still stand, which makes people wonder.
But this is fine, he doesn't care if he doesn't take it. In this way, the boss above can get a big sum of money, and the people below can also share more profit, and everyone will be happy.
In addition, on Jordan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, a less eye-catching but slightly famous private detective agency has opened.
This private detective agency is called Wesley Detective Agency. The boss is an old man in his 50s, whose surname is Ma and whose English name is Peter.
In addition to the old man named Pete, there is also a 15 or 6-year-old, gentle and quiet little girl named Xiaolan in the office.
Finally, there was a young man who was handsome but very cold and never spoke. Peter called him Awen, but his real name was unknown.
It is such a small private detective agency, but in the four months since it opened, the satisfaction rate has reached 100%, and the cases are coming in endlessly.
Ma Wu had just sent away a big customer, a wealthy businessman from Wanwan. His wife had been missing for a month. She was neither alive nor dead.
He offered 50,000 Hong Kong dollars and entrusted Wesley Firm to find her wife, whether she lived or died.
Ma Wuye looked at the photo of the woman in his hand, brushed it off, and gently threw it on the table, with a teasing tone:
"This girl has a thin line in her body, three white eyes, and an upturned and divergent eyebrow. She looks like a silver baby to be a wife. Brother Hanwen, stop showing off, get to work, and do the magic."
Hanwen picked up the photos on the table, as well as the neat file registration form filled out by Xiaolan, and complained helplessly:
"Isn't that right, Fifth Master, you are catching a woman committing adultery and cheating again? You should take on some decent big cases, right?"
Ma Wu laughed and joked:
"Brother Hanwen, if there is a really big case, people will call the police. Our Uncle Ninth from the Yau Ma Tei Police Station is so obsessed with solving cases, where can we get our turn?"
"Tch! He's just an outer disciple of Maoshan Road. If the boss didn't let me work as a policeman, how could he be so arrogant!"
Hanwen said unconvinced and angrily. Ma Wu handed a Double Happiness cigarette to Xiao Ma. After lighting it, he persuaded with a smile:
"Brother Hanwen, the police in Hong Kong are all green gangs, and they are not worthy of your figure. And you, who speaks authentic Beijing movies and doesn't speak English, how can you be a policeman?
Besides, didn’t Miss Fu say that there will be a serious business next month? Be patient, this is 50,000 yuan, and as the captain, your commission will be a full 5,000 yuan!”
Upon hearing this, Hanwen became even more angry:
"What Miss Fu? You are too biased. Why can that good-for-nothing yellow-haired little girl Guo Fu follow her to do big business?
Then I was asked to take care of the children at home all day long. What kind of captain am I now? Captain of the Young Pioneers?"
Hehehe~
Ma Wu was amused by Hanwen, and Xiaolan looked at Hanwen a little confused. She had no idea what kind of organization the Young Pioneers were.
"Brother Hanwen, okay, stop complaining. Your husband has stipulated that our firm must achieve a performance of no less than 150,000 yuan every month. You don't want to participate in the special training class anymore, do you?"
"Oh, my head has changed. It's so realistic. Okay, let's go, Xiaolan, come home with me and pick up some of our little ancestors to investigate the case together."
Hanwen scratched his hair a little irritably, greeted Dulan, turned around and walked out of the office. Xiaolan nodded obediently, put on her small backpack, and trotted to follow.
Hanwen started a green 7-seater Toyota van parked downstairs of the office and drove Xiaolan back to the villa in Saigon.
On the way, Xiaolan asked softly:
"Brother Hanwen, where has Mr. gone? Shouldn't he come back to see us today?"
Xiaolan's Mandarin is very good now, her words are correct and her accent is smooth. Hanwen curled his lips, shook his head gently, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone:
"I don't know either. I'm like a dragon in the sky right now. I just push a lot of children to me, and then I go off to be free and happy every day!"
Xiaolan pouted and retorted dissatisfiedly:
"Brother Hanwen, you're talking nonsense. My husband won't be carefree and happy alone. Last time I saw your husband looking worried and smoking several cigarettes alone in the car."
"Really? There is nothing else in this world that can trouble him, hiss! Doesn't he want to go back to Sijiu City to see jade picking, right? No, I have to go back and ask Chun Sheng quickly."
As if something suddenly occurred to Hanwen, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly started racing like a mad dog on the road.
There are currently 6 people living in this three-story villa in Saigon, namely Hanwen, Gu Chunsheng, Du Lan, Du Tie, Du Nan, and Du Hani.
They are all people with special abilities. Hanwen is a direct disciple of the Zhengyi Sect and is proficient in Taoist magic. Chunsheng is a prophet, Xiaolan has clairvoyance and Xiaotie's mind power, Du Nan has a special strength, and Hani is a mind reader.
However, Du Weiguo gave them a death order and they must not use their special powers in front of any outsiders.
In this regard, everyone has done a very good job of keeping it secret. Even Ma Wu and Xiao Ma don't know that they have special powers.
Hanwen and Chunsheng came to Hong Kong Island three months ago. Du Weiguo settled in Hong Kong Island. After he was completely stable, he wrote a letter to Mr. Qian.
Just 10 days later, Hanwen and Chunsheng arrived on Hong Kong Island. Hanwen and the others could no longer stay in the country.
Mr. Qian didn't come. Firstly, he was old and couldn't leave his hometown. Secondly, this old man had profound moral knowledge. After sending Hanwen Chunsheng away, he was directly invited to the Potala Palace in Tibet to study classics.
So much.
Du Weiguo secretly praised in his heart, as expected, Jiang is really hot. Why the hell didn’t I think of this paradise in the first place?
After Hanwen arrived, Du Weiguo had a safe child, so he directly contacted Uncle Jiu and brought Hani over.
At present, the little girl Hani has been recuperating for more than a year, and she has become fat and plump. She is clinging to Xiaolan all day long.
At the same time, Pang Xiaoqing completed the three-month police training at the Wong Nai Hang Police School in Hong Kong and successfully graduated. However, when she was assigned to a police station, her name was not called.
Of course, she was not the only one whose name was not called, but she graduated with straight A's, and a policewoman with great looks like her was usually the target of desperate competition from various police stations.
When Pang Xiaoqing walked out of the police academy with some confusion, he saw a middle-aged man with a stern face and long eyebrows standing at the door. Behind him, a police car was parked.
The man walked quickly to her, with a calm expression and a capable tone:
"My name is Feng Jiu, detective from Yau Ma Tei Police Station. From today on, you are with me!"
At the same time, a grand movie finals reception was being held in the banquet hall on the fifth floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Siam Bangkok.
"Brother Tangshan" starring Bruce Lee has officially been completed and is funded by a newly established film company in Hong Kong called Kunpeng Pictures.
The external general manager of Kunpeng Pictures is Donald, a fat old man in his 50s, but the actual boss is Zhao Yingnan, whose English name is Megan.
Brother Xiao Long has officially become the first and only signed artist under Kunpeng Pictures, signing a 10-year contract to star in at least 8 films.
Today, attending the closing banquet were a deputy mayor of Bangkok, Wan Zhongkui, president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Chinatown, and the head of Shaw Brothers, who came to discuss theatrical distribution.
Shaw Brothers currently has 16 theaters on Hong Kong Island, and Lydia Cinemas, which owns 9 theaters, also relies on Shaw Brothers' movies to survive and has to rely on others.
There are currently only 51 theaters in Hong Kong Island, so now Shaw Brothers Cinemas is definitely the leader and the only one.
In addition, Shaw Brothers Cinemas has a very extensive network of contacts in theaters throughout Southeast Asia, making it truly a giant in the film industry.
Today, Mr. Shao actually attended the closing banquet of "Tangshan Brother" in person, which felt a bit condescending.
However, Mr. Shao did not speak as loudly as a lion. When talking about distribution, he was still very gentle:
"Ms. Megan, this movie is really wonderful. I like it very much. We, Shaw Brothers, will undertake the distribution throughout Asia and cooperate with you according to Hollywood movies. We will split the box office 55%, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yingnan raised his eyebrows immediately. Mr. Shao was not being merciful, but was cutting off the meat and selling it! The normal share ratio for theaters is usually 50%.
If Shaw Brothers Pictures undertakes distribution throughout Asia, and if it is divided into 55%, then except for its own theaters, distribution in other regions will be unprofitable at all.
After this order is completed, it is not only possible to play for nothing, but also to rebate and directly lose money. After all, the cost of publicity is not low.
Mr. Shao is indeed selling well. When Kunpeng Pictures was established in Hong Kong Island, they did not come to him to visit the dock. This is a taboo in the world, but he has not yet responded.
He received notifications from Mr. Huo, Lei Luo, and a senior foreign official. He had only one core idea: Don't touch Kunpeng Pictures.
Mr. Shao was shocked at that time, what kind of energy is this! It can actually alarm these super bosses at the same time, any one of them is very powerful.
What made Mr. Shao even more frightened was that when he wanted to check the details of the Kunpeng boss, he got stuck halfway through. He was told that it was top secret and that if he continued to investigate, he would definitely die. He was really stunned at that time!
Mr. Shao, who has experienced the world and is experienced in human relations, immediately came to a conclusion:
The young and beautiful Miss Megan in front of her is definitely a big shot with an astonishing background, and her hands and eyes are astounding. She can only make friends with her, but not offend her!
Zhao Yingnan said with a smile on his face and a gentle tone:
"Mr. Shao, you are too polite. You are a highly respected senior, and I am a newcomer. I didn't know the rules before, so I would have been rude if I didn't go to visit you.
Although I know little about this movie's release, I also know that there are rules, and we Kunpeng cannot break the rules.
Do you think this is okay? Mr. Shao, we ask Shaw Brothers to distribute "Tangshan Brother" globally. We Kunpeng will keep 30%, and you Shaw Brothers will get 70%."
"Um?"
Mr. Shao glanced at Zhao Yingnan with a slightly surprised look. This girl was young and gentle, but she spoke politely and politely, neither humble nor arrogant. The key was that she was calm and humble, not arrogant at all.
He joked with interest:
"Ms. Megan, as far as I know, your "Tangshan Brother" has a total investment of 1.2 million. If it is a 37 share ratio, it will require a box office of 4 million to recover the cost. Are you so confident?"
Zhao Yingnan smiled slightly and said in a calm tone:
"Mr. Shaw, you have also seen this movie. I have great confidence in it and Mr. Bruce Lee. At the same time, I also have great confidence in Shaw Brothers!"
"Hahaha!
Mr. Shao had a hearty laugh and a bold tone:
"Miss Megan is really good at talking. In this way, we at Shaw Brothers will take 60%, and 10% of it will be used for promotion. This will ensure that "Brother Tangshan" will be an instant hit, and that your Kunpeng Pictures will skyrocket!"
Zhao Yingnan was also very straightforward and generously extended his hand:
"Okay! Mr. Shao is really happy! I wish us a successful start. All the films produced by Kunpeng Pictures in the future will be distributed by Shaw Brothers first, so that we can win and benefit together!"
Upon hearing these words, the look of satisfaction in Mr. Shao's eyes became even greater. These words contained a very key signal. Kunpeng would not publish alone, and she was not here to steal jobs.
Mr. Shao held Zhao Yingnan’s hand and said in a brisk tone:
"Okay! Miss Megan is quick to talk and is not inferior to women. I wish us a happy cooperation and immediate success!"
"Kakaka~"
At this time, there was a rhythmic sound in the distance, which was the unique sound of high heels, and a graceful, seductive, and ridiculously beautiful woman walked through the door.
This woman was wearing a black peaked lapel suit, double-breasted dress, black culottes, high heels, and her hair was pulled up into a bun.
Behind the woman, there were six capable bodyguards in black suits. They walked with a wind and an aura of 2.8 meters!
The one who possesses such aura is naturally Queen Moran.
As soon as she saw Mo Lan, Zhao Yingnan's eyebrows suddenly stood up and her face darkened. She nodded towards Mr. Shao:
"Mr. Shao, I have something to take care of. I will chat with you later."
Mr. Shao has been through the world, and naturally he can see something is wrong at a glance. It is obvious that Mu Guiying meets Hua Mulan, and it will definitely be a bloody storm.
"Okay, Miss Megan, you are busy first."
As they got closer, Mo Lan retreated from the crowd and walked towards Zhao Yingnan alone. Xiao Ma looked alert and led the two capable brothers closer. Zhao Yingnan waved his hand gently to him. Xiao Ma understood.
Slowly receded.
At this time, Mo Lan had already arrived in front of Zhao Yingnan. She raised her eyebrows, looked Zhao Yingnan up and down, and said in a teasing tone:
""Tangshan Big Brother", Kunpeng Pictures, Miss Megan, making a movie? Haha, he really loves you enough, just throw away millions to play house with you?"
Zhao Yingnan was wearing a pure white women's haute couture suit today, with her hair tied up in a bun. She was extremely capable. She and Mo Lan were facing each other tit for tat, and their momentum was no less impressive:
"Humph, Triss, you're not bad either. Aren't you the underworld queen of Pattaya now? You spend a lot more money than I do!"
After not seeing each other for half a year, Mo Lan and Zhao Yingnan were still incompatible and tense when they met. Mo Lan sneered, full of sarcasm:
"Meghan, you are wrong. It was an investment. In just half a year, I not only recovered the cost, but also started to make a profit.
What about you? He just spends money to amuse you, just like King You of Zhou playing with the princes, tsk tsk, this guy is really nice to you and I have nothing to say!"
Zhao Yingnan's face tightened, his eyes were stern, and his tone became stern: "Mo Lan, do you think I am a concubine? A disaster for the country and the people?"
In desperation, Zhao Yingnan directly called her by her real name, but Mo Lan didn't care, and his tone remained joking:
"What? Aren't you? By the way, where is your King Zhou You? He didn't even come to such an important occasion as the final ceremony?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yingnan suddenly laughed:
"Tch! Stop looking for him. He didn't come at all. Moran, are you jealous? He stayed in Hong Kong Island for more than half a year and didn't even go to Siam. Ha! What a sour taste!"
Mo Lan's face became gloomy after her worries were exposed. Du Weiguo, a heartless man, abandoned her in Pattaya and never showed up again for half a year.
She came here today to settle accounts with this scumbag. Knowing that Du Weiguo didn't come, she felt somewhat relieved, but she was still more disappointed.
Moran lowered his voice:
"Zhao Yingnan, you don't have to be proud. He has been in Hong Kong Island for half a year. Is it possible that he doesn't get along with you every day?"
Zhao Yingnan couldn't help but flash a hint of gloom in his eyes. The pride just now could no longer be maintained.
