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

Chapter 513 "512" Swire Group's response! Someone from the UK!
"woke up?"

A man walked in. He was not very tall and wore glasses.

"Are you Guan Zu's man?!"

Merlin knew that apart from Guan Zu, no one would treat him so cruelly.

"Guan Zu?"

Gao Gang: "Nonono... Do you still remember the Gangster Alliance?"

Merlin: "Ah? Are you the Gangster Alliance?"

Gao Gang: "That's just the name the police gave us. Our real name is - Gangsters Group! However, the first generation group has been wiped out by the police. Now we are the second generation group, inheriting the network of the first generation group!"

Merlin: "…………"

blow!
Just blow it!
Merlin is not a fool. Someone who can stand out among the many Swire families and serve as the head of the Swire Group in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia cannot be a fool.

However, he has now calmed down and feels that he must find a chance to save himself.

Analyze it:
First of all, Guan Zu wanted to pretend to be the Bandits Alliance, obviously because he knew that this matter was too big and he didn't dare to expose himself. Then he had to act according to the principles of the Bandits Alliance.

The principles of the gangster alliance: credibility, pay money to release the people!
As long as you pay the money, you can leave.

As long as he left, Guan Zu would be dead.

"So it's you..." Merlin pretended to be relieved, "Tell me, you are all seeking money, how much do you want?"

Gao Gang: "Old rules, 10 billion US dollars!"

Merlin said happily: "Okay, I'll make a call!"

Gao Gang shook his head: "Don't call, just take a photo, then record it, and read it according to the script I gave you."

I’m afraid these big family members will come up with some kind of code and leak the news.

Merlin: "…………"

Just keep silent!

You guys are really skilled!
quickly,

I took a picture of Merlin, then read and recorded the speech according to the script.

After finishing,

Gao Gang: "Are you hungry?"

Merlin: "I'm hungry... is there anything to eat?"

Gao Gang: "Last time when we detained Mr. Li, we ordered abalone for him... There is no abalone here, only raw ones... Come, eat..."

Then he really took out a raw abalone and gave it to Merlin.

Merlin: "…………"

Gao Gang: "Eat, why not eat~~~"

Merlin: "I don't eat raw..."

"Don't eat?"

Gao Gang, who was smiling just now, suddenly looked cold.

Bang~~~~
Gao Gang kicked the dog cage hard, and the whole cage flipped over with a clang. Merlin rolled around in the cage, feeling dizzy and upside down, and was squeezed into the iron cage upside down.

"Are you trying to starve yourself to death and prevent me from taking the $10 billion?"

"Hundan!!"

Gao Gang cursed.

Gao Gang used to be so honest, but he was fooled by a green tea girl and now he has been corrupted by Zu Ge.

Merlin: "…………"

Gao Gang: "Give it to me quickly!"

Merlin was afraid of being punished again, so he quickly turned around, picked up the abalone on the ground, smashed it open awkwardly, and started eating.

……

It's a new day and the sun shines on the streets of Hong Kong.

The whole of Hong Kong has awakened from its slumber, and citizens, as usual, get up from bed, go into the kitchen, or walk out of the house to start a new day of busy life.

The Swire Group is still 'safe and sound', as if Merlin had not been kidnapped.

On the TV screen, news anchors from ATV and TVB were reporting seriously about the fierce gunfight that took place on Wong Nai Chung Road last night, but they all said that the police had not yet released the latest news.

However, there were well-informed newspapers that had already received news from some rebellious employees of the Swire Group and learned that it was the Swire Group's boss Merlin who had been kidnapped.

So, this morning, seven or eight newspapers reported this news:
"Half a year after the gangster alliance, another shocking kidnapping!"

"Shock! The boss of Swire Group was kidnapped by gangsters?"

Many citizens were shocked.

what?
Again?
This... Doesn't that mean I can eat melons again?
The media was in an uproar, with a large number of reporters swarming towards the Swire Group like sharks smelling blood.

Even without major events, newspaper sales have declined.

For a time, the downstairs of the Taikoo House was surrounded by a crowd of people. Reporters carrying cameras and recorders stood at the door eagerly, hoping to dig up first-hand information.

Just then, a black luxury Mercedes slowly drove towards the entrance of the Taikoo House.

After the car stopped, the door opened and Swire Group director Peng Lizhi got out of the car.

Sharp-eyed reporters, hurry up and grab the first spot.

The other reporters were not to be outdone. A large number of them rushed over like a tide and surrounded Peng Lizhi.

The reporters stretched out their microphones one after another, wishing they could put them directly into Peng Lizhi's mouth.

One of the reporters asked in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Peng, is it true that your boss Mr. Meilin has been kidnapped?"

Peng Lizhi was well prepared for this.

His face darkened and he shouted, "You media should have professional ethics and not make up fake news at will! How can there be any kidnapping? Hong Kong Island has such good security, where did the kidnappers come from?"

He was confident and his voice was loud.

The reporters were confused by his attitude, and looked at each other, wondering:
Is the news in the newspaper false?
The reporter asked: "Where is Mr. Merlin now? If he was not kidnapped, where did he go?"

Peng Lizhi: "Mr. Meilin is naturally going to Southeast Asia to discuss business. This is a long-planned trip, so he is not in Hong Kong Island now."

Many reporters were skeptical and disappointed.

I originally thought that I would be able to dig up some earth-shattering news, but now it seems that my plan is going to fail.

Peng Lizhi was thinking to himself: You guys have to wait for something bad to happen before you’re happy, right?

Look at ATV, under the management of Joe, they have such strong professional ethics!
Inwardly, I bow to the east (Causeway Bay).

Peng Lizhi waved his hand impatiently: "Go quickly, don't block here."

After saying that, he strode into the building.

elevator,

Come to the office.

Soon, the secretary came with an envelope: "Mr. Henry, there was an envelope that appeared in my car this morning, saying it was for you."

I touched it inside and felt it was a tape.

Peng Lizhi's expression paused.

coming!

He returned to his desk, opened the envelope, and pulled out...

A photo, a tape.

Peng Lizhi, who was loyal, said with a serious face, "Immediately call those senior executives from yesterday to come to the meeting, and be quick! Also, get a tape player."

The secretary also realized the seriousness of the problem.

10 minutes later,
In a small conference room.

"Everyone!"

Peng Lizhi's face was full of seriousness and sadness.

"Just now, we received news from the kidnappers."

"An envelope with a photo in it."

The photos were passed around one by one. In the photos, Merlin was locked in a dog cage, curled up.

His hair was disheveled, his face was full of fatigue and pain, his clothes were soaked, and he looked in a disheveled state.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Also, there was a recording, which I didn't listen to either."

"Now, let's listen together!!"

Peng Lizhi pressed the play button and a recording sounded in the conference room.

Merlin's weak voice came: "Everyone, I'm Merlin, I've been kidnapped. The kidnappers demand 10 billion US dollars, and the payment time is 9:25 on September 9th. If I don't get the money, they will kill me..."

Everyone in the conference room was mentally prepared, so they were not too surprised.

The recording ends.

Peng Lizhi looked serious:
"It's 9:30 in the morning, and there are only 23 and a half hours left to pay..."

He looked at the CFO and asked, "How much of the 10 billion dollars ordered yesterday have been prepared?"

The CFO said seriously, "We have only prepared 5 million US dollars, and we will have to continue to raise the rest... But... should we wait for someone from Swire headquarters to come before making a decision?"

Peng Lizhi's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at the CFO and asked, "What? You don't want to save Mr. Meilin? If someone comes from the UK, and something goes wrong, Mr. Meilin might not be able to come back!"

"We all worked under Master Merlin and have received his kindness. Are you going to be ungrateful now?"

"Also, if we don't pay, and the gangsters kill Mr. Merlin and make it public, what will happen to the reputation of our Swire Group? And have you ever thought about the stock market?"

This analysis,

Other executives nodded in agreement.

The chief financial officer said solemnly: "I will do it as soon as possible!"

After a few hours,

Peng Lizhi received many calls from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

The news has already reached the ears of those partners.

Swire Group has extensive business in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, covering shipping, real estate, trade and other fields.

Merlin’s disappearance will cause panic among partners and disrupt the business chain. If not handled properly, the reputation and market share accumulated by the group in Asia over the years will be seriously threatened.

but……

What does this have to do with me, Peng Lizhi?
I have turned from darkness to light!

Jiejiejie~~~
……

at the same time,

Under the cover of night, the airport in London, England is brightly lit.

A private jet belonging to the Swire Group, with its fuselage painted in the iconic blue and white livery, slowly glided towards the runway, then broke through the night sky and flew towards the distant Hong Kong Island.

The interior of the aircraft is luxurious and comfortable.

In the spacious cabin, Edward, who was in his fifties, sat on the soft leather sofa.

Next to him were his two secretaries, one male and one female, and a strong and tall bodyguard.

After the plane reached a high altitude and flew smoothly forward, the beautiful blonde private stewardess, wearing a sexy hip skirt, poured a bottle of vintage red into the crystal wine glass.

Edward Shi Huaiya simply ignored the flight attendant's few small gestures.

Edward, who is in his fifties and a very influential member of the Shi Huaiya family (the Taikoo family), is tall, with neatly combed silver hair, and his aristocratic temperament is revealed in his every move.

His heart was filled with gloom.

After learning of Merlin's kidnapping, the Shi Huaiya family quickly held an emergency meeting. After intense discussions, it was finally decided that Edward would go to Hong Kong Island in person to coordinate resources from all parties to deal with this sudden crisis.

As the core figure of Swire Group in Hong Kong Island, Mei Lin's kidnapping has put Swire Group in great trouble.

Edward was holding tightly in his hand a document sent from Hong Kong Island, which detailed the current information on Merlin's kidnapping, as well as the current crisis faced by the Swire Group, including the decline in Swire Group's share price, public opinion turmoil, and the halving of shopping mall customer traffic... and so on.

His brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".

Finally, his gaze turned to the Five Star Group.

The report did not say that it was the Five Star Group that attacked Merlin, but everyone in the Taikoo family thought it was the Five Star Group that did it.

"Hans, where is our mercenary Scorpion Squad now?"

"Boss, the Scorpion Squad is now in South Africa and will transfer to India in two days..."

"Tell them to speed up and get to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Also, how is the arms transportation going now?"

"Boss, I'm not sure. Mr. Merlin has been in charge of this matter personally. We may need Mr. Merlin to come back, or for the person in charge to come and report in person after we go there, before we can find out."

"it is good."

……

……

Noon, 12 o'clock,
Guan Zu took Xu Zhengyang to eat Chaoshan fish ball noodles.

"Brother Zu!"

"Brother Zu!"
Boss, and the neighbors all greeted him.

Guan Zu: "I want a large portion of three-color meatball noodles..."

Xu Zhengyang: "Give me a large portion of five-color meatball noodles..."

quickly,

Served it up.

Suck it~~~~
Slurping noodles.

Guan Zu looked at the wall and saw that the TV was not on.

"Boss, the TV is not on?"

"Brother Zu, it's broken. I'll send it to be repaired tonight..."

"Please fix it quickly. Lunch without TV is not tasty enough..."

It’s like trying to grab Xiaomi’s flagship car, but without Boss Lei opening the door, it always feels wrong.

What Guan Zu didn't know was,

At this time, other restaurants,
The TV hanging on the wall started playing the news.

"Now for a breaking news story..."

"This morning, the police and customs conducted a joint operation and found 10 tons of explosives on a cargo ship. According to the police, the case was solved after two years of investigation by undercover detectives sent by the police."

"Arms experts confirmed that the arms seized were ammonium perchlorate, a poor oxidizer, which is usually used as rocket fuel or military strategic materials. It is extremely lethal and is usually transported carefully through customs..."

(Photo: "Special Police New Humanity")
"The following is the wanted warrant that the police just issued..."

"The suspect: nicknamed Dinosaur, formerly known as Lin Weilong, Lin Weilong, a gangster, and assisted an international arms smuggling group, using Hong Kong Island as a transit port to transport the harvested raw materials to third world countries to earn huge illegal profits..." ("Special Police New Humans" Wu Zunyu))

……

As the noon news was broadcast, the attention of a large number of citizens suddenly shifted from "Merlin's kidnapping" to the news of the 10-ton explosive.

……

After lunch, Guan Zu went home for a nap, and then heard Ruan Mei talk about the 10 tons of explosives.

"what?"

"10 tons?"

Guan Zu was stunned for a moment.

I suddenly lost interest in playing Renren Games.

Guan Zu's first reaction was:

"Could it be that they were sent here by the Swire Group to blow themselves up?"

With so many bombs, even if Guan Zu is invincible, he will die.
