Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 166 "165" Pro-British faction, come to win over!
"Hahaha~~~Mr. Ni, keep the dog!"

As soon as Guan Zu entered the box, he was overly enthusiastic. He walked quickly to Ni Ming and shook hands tightly.

Ni Ming: “…………”

I don’t know why, but I always feel that Guan Zu’s words are like an insult.

But looking at Guan Zu's respectful and enthusiastic gaze, it couldn't be fake.

Ni Ming (the character's harmonious translation) is 43 years old, tall and thin, wearing glasses and a gray suit, which makes him look gentle and refined.

Ni Ming held Guan Zu's hand and said, "Councilor Guan, I've heard about you a long time ago, and I'm glad to see you today."

In his opinion, Guan Zu is really too young, and he is very handsome and gentle. He looks like an election material, and people will have a good impression of him whenever he steps out.

Canvassing for votes is a killing spree.

Because the two sides were not familiar with each other, the first half was mostly nonsense, you praised me and I praised you.

Guan Zu learned about Ni Ming's identity from Ah Hua's report. He is a senior barrister with a law firm. He also founded the Republican Party in 90, which then grew rapidly and gathered most of the "elites" in one fell swoop.

Obviously, this guy is Ying Gou!

But don't worry,
Let's sound out this guy first.

Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere finally settled and they started discussing important matters.

Ni Mingdao: "Councilman Guan, I believe you have also seen the notice issued by the government for this term's legislative election, right?"

Guan Zu slammed the table!

Bang~~
Ni Ming was shocked.

"Of course I know!"

Guan Zu was shocked. "After seeing this, I suddenly thought... I can run for election too! Mr. Ni, don't you think so? I have so many citizens supporting me. Last time I ran for district councillor, I had 1 voters supporting me. This time I can add Shantou Street and others. I have 1.2 voters!"

“So I thought, if I were to run for a legislator, wouldn’t it be easy?”

Ni Ming: “…………”

No, this guy actually wants to run for legislator?
The reason I came this time was because I saw that he got a staggering 1 votes in the last district council election, so I thought of inviting him to help the Republican Party to win votes.

As a result, he actually wanted to be the boss himself!

This is completely contrary to Ni Ming's idea!
No, we must strike him down!
"Cough cough..."

Ni Ming coughed and said to Guan Zu, "Councilman Guan, I think you may be wrong... I think Councilman Guan may be missing something to qualify as a candidate for a legislative councillor?"

"Something is missing?" Guan Zu said, "What is missing? Sorry, Mr. Ni, I don't know much about these. I wonder if Mr. Ni can help me point it out?"

To be honest, Guan Zu really didn't know, so he wanted to know the details from this idiot.
Ni Ming was arrogant: "First of all, your identity, a member of a society..."

Guan Zu looked surprised: "But I am a district councillor, a public official of the Hong Kong Island government. This alone proves that there is no problem with my identity."

Ni Ming was speechless.

What Guan Zu said is indeed correct. Now that you are a public official, there is no reason why you cannot run for a legislator.

Ni Ming thought for a moment and said, "The Legislative Council is a little different from the government. It will be more strict. Think about it, legislators naturally follow the law. If a gangster like you becomes a legislator, it will not look good for the Legislative Council."

"So, if you want to get the approval of the Legislative Council Election Committee and get the candidacy, it's difficult!"

Guan Zu frowned: "Mr. Ni means that it is mainly the election committee, right?"

Ni Ming nodded: "That's right."

Guan Zu looked at Ni Ming and said, "Mr. Ni, as the saying goes, friends who eat and drink together make friends. I've had dinner with you and drank with you, so we are friends after all... I wonder if Mr. Ni could do me a favor and introduce me to someone from the election committee."

Ni Ming: “…………”

I felt a little awkward.

After all, I am a senior barrister and a talker, so why is it that Guan Zu always takes the initiative and changes the topic today?

Could it be that the people I talked to before were all old foxes? Their words were all nonsense?

But Guan Zu is straightforward, which makes him uncomfortable?

Ni Ming said bluntly: "Member Guan, I think there is no need to introduce the Legislative Election Committee. You are definitely not qualified to do so."

Guan Zu was very serious: "If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?"

Ni Ming had a headache and said quickly: "Congressman Guan, I asked you to come here today to invite you to join our Republican Party."

Guan Zu's eyes lit up: "The Republican Party... Forgive my ignorance, I have never heard of it before, but I believe there must be many important people in it who are worth making friends with."

Ni Ming breathed a sigh of relief and put on his airs again: "Yes, there are indeed elites from all walks of life in the Republican Party, including billionaires, and bigwigs with very high status in the fields of law, finance, etc."

Guan Zu suddenly asked, "Can they help me solve this candidacy issue?"

puff~~
Ni Ming just took a sip of wine and sprayed it out.

I couldn't help but feel angry inside: Are you done yet? Are you going to argue with the legislator?
In order to retain Guan Zu, a major voter, Ni Ming could only hold back his displeasure and said patiently: "They cannot influence the Election Committee, but they are all elites from all walks of life and celebrities. Apart from those tycoons, they are the top ones in Hong Kong Island..."

"For example, Mr. Situ is the president of the Education Professionals Association..."

"And Mr. Wen, the president of Dapingshan Association..."

"Mr. Li, Chairman of the Kwai Tsing District Council..."

"As long as you join our Republican Party, your business and other things will be smooth sailing."

Ni Ming thought, I'm throwing this temptation out there to see if you're tempted.

Judging from Guan Zu’s series of business behaviors, he must be a person who loves money. Who doesn’t love money? He must love money very much.

So Ni Ming put on airs, waiting for Guan Zu to kowtow and join the Republican Party.

unfortunately,

He had no idea that Guan Zu was a cheat and his business logic was completely different from theirs.

With support, you have everything.

The people are everything.

No matter what political or business celebrities they are, they are of no use to Guan Zu.

"I reject!"

Guan Zu's words immediately broke down Ni Ming's attitude as Prince Duan.

"You refuse?"

"No, how could you refuse?"

Ni Ming said in disbelief.

Guan Zu said: "There is nothing good for me to join you. If I am not mistaken, you are so eager to let me join because you want to gain my support for you in the Wan Chai area, right?"

"Given the dense population of Wan Chai, it is bound to be able to pull two directly elected seats in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island (Wan Chai, North Point, etc.) at one time."

"You guys are so calculating. You want to get benefits from me, but you don't give me any benefits!"

Guan Zu sneered.

Ni Ming cursed inwardly: It turns out that Guan Zu has seen through his purpose. Damn, he was just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Ni Ming admitted that he had underestimated this man who came from the bottom of society and had never attended college.

Sure enough, those who can gain momentum should not be underestimated.

Ni Ming cursed in his heart, but laughed on the surface: "Oh, Councillor Guan, you think too much. Joining us will be very beneficial to you..."

"You helped us this term, next term, we will push you to be a legislator!"

Guan Zu sneered when he heard it.

Do you want to be Alok too?

But... Guan Zu hasn't figured out how to deal with this group of trash yet. Some things need to be thought through clearly.

Also, since there are the Hong Kong British faction, are there also leftists?
What about the leftists?

Who is it? Will they contact me?
Guan Zu said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ni, I need to think about it."

Ni Ming smiled: "Okay, no rush, let's wait for Mr. Guan's reply."

At this point, they had almost finished their meal and neither of them had the appetite to continue, so they decided to end the meal and leave.

At the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel, Ni Ming shook hands with Guan Zu and said, "Mr. Guan, we at the Republican Party are very much looking forward to your joining us. It will definitely be a very good addition to us and will also be very beneficial to Mr. Guan's business."

Guan Zu shook his hand and smiled: "I will seriously consider it."

not far away,
A newspaper reporter was covering the news and when he saw this scene, he quickly pressed the shutter.

Click, click, click~~~~~
Take a few photos.

What an unexpected surprise.

Why did the Republican chairman meet with Guan Zu?
Needless to say, it's definitely for the seats of legislators.

……

And on the other side,
Szeto Kit, also at the Peninsula Hotel, was inviting Charles, the vice chairman of the Legislative Council's Election Committee, to dinner.

In order to obtain information about the arms case from Guan Zu as soon as possible, Situ Jie was very motivated.

After three rounds of drinks and a harmonious atmosphere, Situ Jie finally told the purpose of his visit.

"Mr. Charles, I have a friend who wants to run for a legislator, but he doesn't know how to qualify as a candidate..."

Charles' eyes lit up.

He was a very greedy person. He thought that he had only six years left, so he wanted to make as much money as possible and return home.

"Does your friend have any money?"

It’s so direct!

"Hahaha~~~" Situ Jie laughed. When it comes to money, it's easy to talk about it. "Mr. Charles, please rest assured that my friend is not short of money."

Charles was finally happy: "No problem, you can introduce him to me... Who is he?"

Situ Jie whispered, "My friend is a district councilor in Hong Kong Island, his name is Guan Zu. He has an awkward identity, he comes from a society, so he needs Mr. Charles to help him see if there is any opportunity."

From a society?

Charles frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.

He also looked at Situ Jie strangely: You, Situ Jie, a senior police officer, have such a close relationship with the Young and Dangerous?
Charles' expression turned serious. "10. Let me tell you the inside story."

Situ Jie was surprised. What inside story was worth 10?
But he still gave 10 yuan without any regret, because Guan Zu was even more generous in giving money!
Charles took the money and said seriously, "This direct election is extraordinary. It is equivalent to a game between two countries. Our superiors will never allow any unexpected factors to enter..."

"I have heard some rumors about this Guan Zu. He is very famous in Causeway Bay. I remember that in the last district council election, he received more than 1 votes, 10 times more than others."

"If this kind of person is not one of our own, the higher-ups will not allow him to run for election, even if I am the vice chairman of the election committee."

However, this piece of news is very important to Situ Jie and Guan Zu.

Situ Jie: "Thank you Mr. Charles for the reminder."

This person really does things for money!
If it were an ordinary greedy guy, he would probably agree first, then keep you hanging and collect the money slowly.

Charles didn't.

Situ Jie couldn't help but ask again: "Really no chance?"

Charles held up a finger: "1!"

Give!
Situ Jie is heroic.

Charles said, "As I said just now, this is a game between two countries, so it's natural to lean towards this side... Either he will ally with us, or he will ally with that side to gain the qualification. As for how to ally with them, let him figure it out for himself."

Situ Jie's eyes lit up.

Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?
Situ Jie couldn't help but ask another question: "If someone is not a gangster, but runs a school and has a good reputation, can he be qualified to run for election?"

Charles: "5 for this question."

Situ Jie has a toothache and wants money!
Give!
Charles took the money and replied, "The answer is yes, but you have to pay for it. You have to pay for the service."

At a dinner party, Situ Jie got what he wanted.

And Charles also got money.

Both sides were in a good mood.

……

……

the other side,
Cointreau Hotel.

At this time, Gao Qiu met with the TV program director of ATV and talked about the program idea of ​​"Knowledge Cup & Who Can Become a Millionaire".

Before coming, Guan Zu and Gao Qiu talked again and felt that it was too easy to get 15 million for 100 questions limited to 10 years of knowledge, so they changed it to 100. The annual finals, million, catered to the title of millionaire.

After listening to it, the program director felt it was very fresh.

I also realized the amazing creativity of the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"

He immediately made the decision: "Our TV station wants the copyright of this program!"

But he said bluntly: "As for the knowledge cup, I suggest that we change it a little bit. Don't limit it to "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History". You can use a wider range of knowledge!"

As soon as this was said, Gao Qiu flatly refused: "No! This "Millionaire" must be paired with a knowledge cup."

The purpose of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is to promote the Knowledge Cup. For Guan Zu, the Knowledge Cup is the focus.

And you tell me I don't want the Knowledge Cup?

Are you kidding me?
Guan Zu doesn't care about the money from "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" at all.

Upon hearing this, the program director immediately turned sullen and said, "It's useless for you to disagree. Now I know the idea. Now this "Millionaire" belongs to us, ATV... If you want to sue me, I will fight you!"

Yes, the program director got greedy.

He was ready to grab it.

Even if the other party wants to sue, ATV is not afraid. It will go to court and drag it out. Besides, how can Gao Qiu prove that "Millionaire" was his idea?

“Jiejiejie~~~~”

This is not the first time that the program director has snatched the show like this.

unfortunately,

He met a different opponent today.

"Sue you?"

Gao Qiu sneered, "Are you stupid? Who do you think we are? We are the Hongxing gangsters. Believe it or not, I will bring people to burn your house down!"

Schrödinger's identity!

In a certain state, I am a gangster.

In a certain sense, I am a member of parliament and a legitimate businessman.

Program Director: “…………”

The hehehe state was interrupted.

Hey!
Forget about this.

"Cough cough~~~"

The program director laughed awkwardly.

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I think this 'Knowledge Cup' and this 'Millionaire' are a perfect match!"

It's just a job, why risk your life for it, right?
