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

Chapter 233 "232" Public opinion is one-sided!
Tonight is destined to be a busy night.

Mr. Li was constantly making phone calls. In addition to Mr. Shao and Mr. Lin, there were also calls from major newspapers.

On Guan Zu's side, the second step of action began.

……

"Ming Pao"

As the only newspaper under Mr. Jin (Harmony) and a well-known newspaper in Hong Kong Island, Ming Pao also reported the news that Guan Zu "embezzled the demolition funds" this morning.

Mr. Jin is 67 years old this year and his energy is not as good as before.

He personally reviewed the slander against Guan Zu in today's newspaper, but did not pay too much attention to it.

It was not until he was having dinner at home that night and received a call from Boss Li that he realized what had happened.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Li, we at Ming Pao will definitely support you, Mr. Li."

If we classify Mr. Jin by faction, he is a fence-sitter, a very funny kind.

After hanging up the phone with Mr. Li, the doorbell of the villa rang.

"Who?"

The Filipino maid walked in quickly and said, "Master, the other party said he was Mr. Guan's man. He came here to talk to you about the slander against Mr. Guan today."

After hearing this, Mr. Jin didn't care: "Just say I'm busy and have already rested."

He always thinks he is a scholar and thinks you are all vulgar and he doesn't want to bother with you.

Filipino maid: "Yes, sir."

Outside the villa, Huadi and Asi drove away. This time, because of Mr. Jin's different status, Huadi was allowed to come, otherwise a few rude younger brothers would have come.

Ah Xi: "Brother Hua, are we leaving just like this?"

Huadi: "Brother Zu has already told us that Mr. Jin's status is different. We can only do this. We should use courtesy first and force later."

Axi: "Where are the soldiers?"

Ah Hua sneered, "The soldiers are the courts. This newspaper clearly stated that Brother Zu embezzled 6000 million. If we don't force him to apologize in public this time, our newspaper will only throw dirty water on him in the future. Report it every day and see if he will be so angry that he will jump into the coffin."

……

the other side,
"Oriental Daily"

This newspaper can be said to be the most daring and aggressive in the entire Hong Kong Island.

Its owners are the famous gangster brothers Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen.

In the early days, the newspaper had more than 10 staff members and produced one sheet of paper, but sales were poor. In early 1, a famous writer was hired to write dog sutras, and sales increased. The number of newspapers increased to one and a half sheets. One and a half years later, sales exceeded 1970 copies. In the autumn of 1, sales exceeded 1 copies. The following year, sales continued to expand, with daily sales exceeding 8 copies, making it the "No. 1972" newspaper in Hong Kong.

However, due to the fact that both Ma and his wife were fans, some Hong Kong people call Oriental Daily News the "White Powder Newspaper", and Ma's descendants are collectively referred to as the "White Powder Ma".

There is also the famous female star 'Xiao Jieba', who married Ma's son.

Now in 1991, the two Ma brothers are wanted by the Hong Kong police due to the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. They have been hiding in Hong Kong Island, but the Oriental Daily News has not been affected.

It has always been managed by Mr. Liu, a close confidant of Shuang Ma.

Mr. Liu looks rough and strong, unlike the ordinary gentle newspaper editor, he looks more like a gangster.

Nowadays,

Mr. Liu received a call from Li Daheng's secretary, asking him to take good care of the Li family in the newspaper. Naturally, he nodded in agreement.

In his opinion, who is Guan Zu? He doesn’t even know him. How can he be compared with the Li family?
It is only natural to curry favor with the Li family.

When he finished his work and finalized the content to be published tomorrow, he drove back home. When he entered the house, he suddenly found that there was one more person in the house.

Li Changjiang.

Mr. Liu was startled: "Who are you? Where are my wife and son?"

He ran into the room quickly and saw his wife and son hiding in bed, trembling. They jumped out when they saw him.

"Hubby/Dad, I'm so scared!"

I hugged Mr. Liu and cried.

While Mr. Liu was comforting his wife and children, anger was rising inside.

He had already guessed who the visitor was.

"Throw that star!"

"How dare you break into my house? Do you know who I am? When I was out there messing around, you guys were still playing in the mud!"

Shuang Ma was as famous as Lei Luo back then, and was extremely powerful in the underworld. Mr. Liu had already been following Shuang Ma at that time.

In his opinion, all the gangsters in today's society are his younger brothers.

So even if he knew that Guan Zu was from Hongxing, he was not at all intimidated. What Hongxing? In the 70s, it was just a small gang. How could it be more fierce than the two horses?!
While cursing, he walked towards Abu, who was shorter than him, wanting to teach the younger guy a lesson.

then……

Bang!
He was kicked back and fell onto the sofa.

Mr. Liu wanted to get up, but Abu had already stepped on his face and was holding him down.

The hard soles of the feet rubbed against his face, causing waves of stinging pain!

"Mr. Liu~~"

"The boss asked me to say hello to you!"

Mr. Liu was extremely angry: "How dare you! Do you know who I am..."

But the next moment, he became terrified.

Abu took out a gun and stuffed it into his mouth.

All living beings are equal!

"My boss said that he is very dissatisfied with your slander against him!"

"If you don't apologize tomorrow and clear your boss' name, don't blame me for anything."

Mr. Liu: “Mmmmm~~~”

Abu: "By the way, your boss, since you are already in Taiwan, don't jump around here. They were very powerful ten years ago, but now they are just dogs who dare not even return to Hong Kong Island..."

When Mr. Liu heard this, he was not convinced at first, but then he thought that what the other party said was not wrong. Even if you have various connections in Hong Kong Island, what does it matter? If the other party kills you directly, everything will be nothing.

Now, he was completely sane.

Abu pulled out his gun.
"Remember, my boss will be seeing your apology tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Abu turned around and left, slamming the door shut.

Mr. Liu got up and rushed into the room. His wife and son hugged him and burst into tears in fear.

When he was reporting on Guan Zu today, he used words like suspected, guessed, and possibly in a sophisticated way. Even if the court sued him, it would be useless. At most, he would be fined a small amount of money. This is his confidence, and he thinks Guan Zu can't do anything to him.

Moreover, he can also gain favors from the Li family.

Simply perfect!
However, when he was acting like a gangster, he forgot that Guan Zu was a bigger gangster leader.

You are a hooligan, but I believe that everyone is equal!
……

……

21:40
After a series of attacks by Guan Zu's men, newspaper editors and bosses one after another decided to support Guan Zu and restore his innocence!

After all, the right path in life is full of vicissitudes!

Our media and newspapers should promote positive energy and must not frame anyone! Wong Tai Sin, mushroom stalls, late night snack stalls.

Guan Zu and Mao Xiangyang are having supper.

As time passed, this place gradually became lively. Countless white-collar workers came here in groups of two or three to have a hearty dinner after work.

On Guan Zu's table, there were freshly served fried oyster cakes, salt and pepper fish, Guilin fried raw intestines, fried clams with black bean sauce... they were steaming hot and smelled delicious.

Different midnight snacks every day...

Guan Zu could already feel himself starting to develop a small belly.

But don’t worry, we have “Fat Loss Card”, yay!
"Congratulations! The news was clarified on ATV." Mao Xiangyang was relieved to see that Guan Zu got the opportunity to clarify the matter.

Drinking with Guan Zu became a lot easier.

"I still have to thank Mr. Lin for his help." Guan Zu smiled, "Today I tried to invite Mr. Lin to dinner, and Mr. Lin was very considerate. We had lunch together at noon, and then he asked reporters to come over to help me with the interview in the afternoon."

Mao Xiangyang: "I also called my boss, and he said he would ask Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po to help you clarify. Now that ATV has helped you clarify, there should be no problem with Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po supporting you, right?"

lead?

This is exactly the purpose of Guan Zu's misery.

Guan Zu bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Mao!"

After three rounds of drinks, Guan Zu told Mao Xiangyang the real reason for inviting him to have a midnight snack.

"I encountered a news ban this time. If it weren't for Mr. Lin's help, I would have been ruined."

"This also made me realize the importance of controlling public opinion. You must have your own channel to express your opinions, otherwise you will be blocked and in big trouble."

Mao Xiangyang knew what the piano meant: "Grandpa, what do you want me to do? Just tell me! "

Guan Zu said: "I want to buy shares of ATV!"

Puff~~~
Mao Xiangyang sprayed directly.

He stared at Guan Zu with wide eyes.

He thought Guan Zu just needed to buy a few newspapers, but he ended up wanting to acquire shares in Asia Television?

Isn't this a big step?

Guan Zu had his own considerations. Newspapers? Too slow, not timely enough!
How can it be as flexible as TV?

In fact, if there is a need for an acquisition, TVB is definitely better, because TVB's brand, talent, resources, and quality of dramas are far better than ATV, and more popular with Hong Kong Island citizens.

In terms of ratings, TVB basically crushes ATV with a ratio of 7:3. Only after the release of "How to Be a Millionaire" did ATV breathe a sigh of relief.

but,

It is difficult for TVB to receive shares.

Mr. Shao has always held a large stake in TVB and has been firmly managing TVB until the 21st century.

On the contrary, ATV has a chance.

Guan Zu said: "I have investigated. When Mr. Qiu sold Asia Television, there were three main shares. About 30.83% of Asia Television's shares were sold to Boss Lin, while Mr. Zheng from one of the four major families held at least 20% of the shares, and King of Gamblers He also held at least 10% of the shares..."

"As for Zheng Daheng, I don't have any connections to contact him for now... and as for Gambling King He, I don't know if Brother Mao has any connections."

Guan Zu looked at Mao Xiangyang sincerely.

The reason why gambling king He was able to gain a foothold in Macau is naturally because he has the support of the mainland.

Guan Zu has always been seeking shares in Asia Television, and it is easiest to get from King Ho, because King Ho is from Macau, and Asia Television has been making losses. Later on, King Ho could not bear it anymore and sold it.

Until today, Guan Zu finally has an excuse - "banned by the news"!
Guan Zu has been friends with Mao Xiangyang for such a long time, it's time for Mao Xiangyang to give him some hard time.

Mao Xiangyang hesitated for a moment and said, "He, the gambling king, I will write a letter tonight to explain your situation in detail, and it will be in the hands of my leader tomorrow."

Guan Zu raised his glass: "Thank you, Brother Mao!!"

Mao Xiangyang: “You’re welcome.”

At this moment,

The TV station hanging on the wall started broadcasting ATV News.

It was still Guan Zu's clarification of the news, but the content of the interview was changed. The only thing that remained unchanged was the emphasis on the Li family's affairs and the accusation that the Li family was being put to death.

On the other wall, there was another TV playing TVB News.

This time, there was no more news slandering Guan Zu, but there was no news clarifying Guan Zu either.

……

……

a new day,
The sun shines on the buildings, streets and coast of Hong Kong Island...

The next day, major newspapers continued to report on Guan Zu's story with front-page headlines.

"Guan Zu clarifies his statement: He is innocent, it is the Lee family's revenge and slander" - Wen Wei Po

"The truth is out! Guan Zu is innocent, and the grudges and hatreds between Guan Zu and the Li family are recounted" - Oriental Daily

"The famous philanthropist and the richest family fight, the richest family loses morally!" - Ta Kung Pao

"Kwan Cho threatens to sue all major media outlets in Hong Kong" - The Sun

"This newspaper solemnly apologizes to Guan Zu" - Sing Pao

"The Li Family: The Li family is not someone that a gangster can mess with!" - Ming Pao

"Detailed list of households receiving arrears fees and transfer details" - "Five Star Daily"

After the newspaper reports during the day, two rounds of television news reports last night, and today's newspaper reports, almost all of Hong Kong's 700 million citizens have understood the entire incident. In addition, most newspapers apologized to Guan Zu at the end of the news.

For a time,

The feud between the Li family and Guan Zu has attracted the whole of Hong Kong to gossip.

People are talking about buses, subways, shopping malls, offices, restaurants...everywhere.

The Li family is a wealthy family, and ordinary citizens like to hear gossip about wealthy families the most. Now, the subjects of gossip after dinner for Hong Kong citizens have basically become the Li family and Guan Zu.

Happy to be on the hot search.

Compared to yesterday when everyone was calling for Guan Zu to be killed, this time the situation has become a stalemate.

However, as ATV News reported, more and more information was produced, including videos of throwing lard, red paint, burning buildings, and police files, and the citizens of Hong Kong were increasingly inclined to believe Guan Zu.

The Li family is so evil that they don’t even let the elderly go!
"It's absolutely insane and inhumane!"

"After listening to this, even a gangster like me feels like a good citizen!"

"This Li family is so shady!"

As for Gao Lao, Fourth Uncle and the others, they were trembling with fear. They were the ones who did all these things. They didn't dare to stay in Wong Tai Sin and hid themselves early to avoid being suddenly caught by the police. If they did that, they would be badly injured if not killed.

Then the citizens saw on TV news that Guan Zu was going door to door to express his condolences one by one. His cordial demeanor immediately inspired them.

This Guan Zu is so positive, he cares about the elderly! He is a decent person!

"This Guan Zu, is actually this kind of person?"

"After watching these shots, I can see that he has a lot of details in his movements, attitudes and expressions, and he really respects these elderly people."

"After seeing this, if someone says he embezzled half of the demolition compensation, I won't believe it."

Public opinion is one-sided!
It was harmonized and many words were deleted, miserable~~
