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

Chapter 788 "787" Immigration Dream Shattered, Five Star Group's Methods!
The entire Hong Kong public was stunned by ATV News's report that Britain was "dirty, chaotic, and poor."

In a certain tea restaurant,
The television was mounted in the corner, and the originally noisy space instantly quieted down when the news was broadcast.

When the camera showed an Indian man defecating in the street in Birmingham, the locals who were eating noodles suddenly widened their eyes and spat out their soup.

"Is this in England? Am I seeing things?"

When diners saw the footage of the alleyway littered with garbage and overflowing with sewage, their anticipation froze instantly.

"No way? The newspapers said the streets in Britain were so clean you could sit on the ground, but now they look dirtier than our old neighborhood?!"
In a certain household,
In the living room, the family gathered around the television for dinner.

The wife, picking at her food, saw the TV and exclaimed in shock, "My God! Is this the kind of security we have? We could be robbed any minute!"

Husband: "You just came out for a meal and your luggage got stolen?"

My son, who's in Form 5 at a five-star school, glanced at it, then continued eating, muttering, "The security here is much worse than on Hong Kong Island!"

……

North Point

At a street food stall, people sit on folding chairs, eating late-night snacks while watching TV on the wall.

On TV, Asian Americans complained about the lack of jobs, a Malay teacher said his savings were almost gone, and a Hong Kong financial analyst was preparing to return to Hong Kong.

The diners burst into laughter.

"It's better to wash dishes on Hong Kong Island, that's hilarious."

"Everyone used to say that Britain was full of gold, but now it looks more like it's full of garbage!"

Why are they so different? Are these really all from the same country in Britain?

The entire night on Hong Kong Island was abuzz with this news, and the beautiful image of Britain that had once been held was gradually shattered by it.

Reverse Yilin (a popular online writing platform), success!!

……

……

Mongkok.

Inside one of the houses in a certain residential complex.

The male homeowner is named Lao Zhou. He has a wife and two children.

The couple earns a combined monthly salary of 4 yuan.

Mr. Zhou and his wife had always dreamed of immigrating to the UK.

He firmly believed that he was living a hard life on Hong Kong Island, and that once he immigrated to the UK, he would be able to live the happy life he dreamed of.

Therefore, he was very excited about the "Right of Abode in the UK Scheme" announced by Hong Kong Governor Ashton this time.

The day after the announcement, he went to the immigration department to submit his documents and apply to join the British residency rights scheme.

He thought to himself, "My income should be pretty good, right?"

As a result, reality taught him a lesson. When he went to the immigration department again, the staff told him that he was not qualified.

In short, he was completely dumbfounded.

He roared on the spot: "My wife and I earn 4 yuan a month, and you say we're not qualified?"

"Fuck your mother!"

The immigration department assessed their situation: Lao Zhou was a bus driver with a monthly salary of over 2 (in reality, he only earned 2 in one month, and the rest were all over 1, so he just boasted about earning 2 a month), and his wife was a teacher at a private school with a master's degree and a monthly salary of 2... Please, you two trash, do you really think you can get residency in the UK?
Old Zhou and his wife naturally didn't understand that he was a piece of trash. For the past few days, he had been cursing and complaining about the injustice of fate, wondering why he couldn't escape this sea of ​​suffering in Hong Kong.

at this time,

The television is broadcasting ATV news.

"This is simply a garbage paradise. The garbage seems to have been piled up here for a long time without being cleaned up. It's hard to imagine that such a terrible sanitation environment is in a city in a developed country."

"If you are unfortunately robbed, try not to resist; they only want your valuables."

"We don't have enough police force..."

"We only had to eat a meal before our luggage was stolen from the car. I can't help but ask, why is this happening when Britain always boasts of being greater than America?"

"We came here hoping to find a job and live a better life, but there are simply not enough job opportunities here, and we are worried about making a living every day."

Scene after scene,

Old Zhou and his wife were dumbfounded.

"What the hell?"

"It's really that bad?"

"Why is this happening?"

At this moment, I felt my faith crumble.

"and many more……"

Old Zhou slammed his fist on the table in anger, with a loud bang.
"I don't believe it! This is slander! Britain is absolutely not like that!"

"hateful!"

"The Five Star Group can't stand to see others do well; they're afraid that if we go to Britain, Hong Kong will suffer losses!"

Old Zhou and his wife absolutely refused to believe that Britain could be so bad. In their hearts, Britain was a goddess, and they, as her devoted followers, would romanticize whatever she did. If someone said that the goddess could poop, they would think it was impossible for her to poop.

The ultimate licking king!

at this time,

"Knock knock knock~~~"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhou, hello, we are from Five Star Property Management, please open the door..."

"???"

"What are you doing here?"

Old Zhou shouted angrily through the door, "You people from the Five Star Group are not welcome here."

The person outside maintained the same tone: "It's like this, Mr. Zhou, since you have violated the terms of the contract, we have brought a lawyer here to terminate the share contracts with you regarding Five Star Supermarket, Five Star Bank, Central Plaza, etc., and to recover the dividends... We will recover all the shares, and after deducting the money you paid for the shares, there will still be HK$44230 left, which will also be recovered."

"what?!"

Old Zhou and his wife's expressions changed.

Anxious!

"Breach of contract? We didn't breach any contract!"

"These are our shares and dividends, why should we take them back?"

Old Zhou opened the door and angrily launched into a tirade against David from Five Star Property and lawyer Lin Liangshui outside.

It was filled with resentment.

Lin Liangshui smiled: "Mr. Zhou, right? I am Lin Liangshui, a senior lawyer. This is my business card... In the aforementioned company share and profit-sharing clauses, there are several provisions that stipulate that Party B cannot have any inclination or practice of immigrating abroad. After all, Five Star Group is distributing shares in order to improve the personal economic level of Hong Kong Island citizens, and the target group is citizens who identify with Hong Kong Island."

"And you submitted an immigration application to the immigration department, which shows that you do not like your Hong Kong identity. Therefore, it is only natural that you are not entitled to these shares and dividends."

Old Zhou asked incredulously, "What? There's such a clause?"

Lin Liangshui smiled and said, "Yes, sir."

Old Zhou was instantly enraged: "I'm not convinced! Why? I'm a Hong Kong Island citizen too! Why can't I enjoy this!"

Lin Liangshui smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't be angry. We always act in accordance with the law. The terms are clearly stated right there."

Old Zhou's wife started throwing a tantrum: "You're being unreasonable! You're the Five Star Group, a criminal gang! You're treating human life like dirt..."

quickly,

Her shouting attracted many neighbors to come out and watch.

After learning what had happened, many neighbors looked at the couple speechlessly.

"Damn it, if you don't want to stay in Hong Kong Island and don't identify with Hong Kong Island, then what's wrong with Five Star Group taking back these shares and distributing the dividends?"

"Doo-na-xing, why aren't you getting out of Hong Kong Island yet?"

"You're a real scoundrel! You turn your back on me after the meal! I've never seen such a shameless person!"

One by one, they started hurling insults at the couple.

Everyone benefits from the Five Star Group, so naturally everyone supports Five Star. You, a reactionary and anti-class, think you can get our sympathy by shouting a few times?

Lin Liangshui's tone remained very calm: "Mr. Zhou, please face reality and proceed according to the contract... If you do not return the shares, we will forcibly reclaim them and void them. As for the dividends, we will sue you and let the court decide to recover the funds."

Old Zhou retorted angrily: "Fine, sue me then! I don't believe your Five Star Group can control everything!"

Lin Liangshui smiled and said, "Okay, then let's wait for the court summons."

After saying that, they left.

The neighbors dispersed when they saw the excitement was over, but given their gossip-loving nature, the news would soon spread throughout the entire building and then to the surrounding area.

Old Zhou and his wife returned home angrily and closed the door.

The wife asked anxiously, "What should we do? Do we really have to pay back that 4 yuan?"

Old Zhou replied decisively: "Impossible!"

The wife looked worried: "But they will sue in court."

Old Zhou said angrily, "Then I'll find a newspaper and expose their shameless behavior!"

Old Zhou thought of the South China Daily, which Guan Zu had criticized and ridiculed last time: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The South China Daily will definitely help us!"

Just do it,

"I'm going to the South China Daily right now!"

After quickly finishing my meal, I left home and headed to the South China Daily News building.

……

the other side,
A villa.

In the spacious and bright living room
Bu Huaquan, dressed in a sharp suit, was sitting on the sofa.

(Image from "Floating City Tycoon")
His sister was packing his luggage; in two hours, he would board a flight to England to begin a new chapter in his career at Jardine Matheson.

On television, ATV News was broadcasting the report about Britain.

Bu Huaquan stared in disbelief at the chaotic scenes on the screen depicting the streets of Birmingham.

"impossible?"

Is Britain really that chaotic?

It should be noted that Bu Huaquan has always harbored a special affection for Britain, looking up to it and longing for it.

He was adopted by a Tanka people (a type of people who live on the sea) couple when he was young and made a living by fishing at sea. As a child, he was always pointed at and gossiped about because he looked different from other children (his mother was born when she was shot by a British soldier). Whenever he was asked about his background, all he got in return was his parents' hesitation and a beating.

It wasn't until later, with the help of Pastor Adon, that he was able to go ashore and attend school.

Then, through hard work and intelligence, he passed the exam and got a job as a handyman at the East India Company (the parent company of Jardine Matheson), where he studied while working.

It was around this time that he learned about Dongda University and the five-star red flag. However, at that time he did not understand what a country or a nation was, nor did he understand why the British could be so arrogant.

After his father died, he took on the responsibility of caring for his six younger siblings.

However, the family soon couldn't survive because the lender was pressing for repayment. They had to send their children away one by one, some to orphanages and others to other families. The family fell apart.

He held his breath and worked diligently, gradually rising through the ranks to become a member of the management team at Jardine Matheson.

During these days, deep down, he was always searching for his roots, who he really was, and who his father was. He wanted to go to England.

Now, because of his outstanding performance, the head of Jardine Matheson personally invited him to go to England to pursue a greater career, and even helped him obtain British citizenship.

Tonight, he will depart for England.

Why does the UK portrayed on ATV now look so bad?
It was vastly different from what he had imagined.

This made him slightly more hesitant about going to England.

However, he quickly made up his mind.

Britain, I must go.

He longed for England, and wanted to go there, also wanting to find his roots.

2 hours later,

A car was parked outside the villa.

Bu Huaquan glanced at the villa, then got into his car and drove away without looking back.

He soon boarded a plane and flew to England.

……

14 hours later,
The plane landed at the airport.

He finally arrived in England, the country he had always dreamed of.

The sunlight shining on the airport gave him the illusion that the future was full of hope.

Soon, he arrived at the airport's immigration checkpoint. There were many people coming in, and everyone was queuing. He looked at the sign and joined the queue for the British.

He was very confident about this because his passport stated that he was a British citizen.

quickly,

It was Bu Huaquan's turn to queue up.

He gave his passport and other documents to the staff.

To everyone's surprise, the staff member glanced at it and stepped back, saying, "Sorry, you don't belong in this line."

Bu Huaquan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Staff member: "You are not British."

Bu Huaquan was even more stunned, and picked up his passport: "I am clearly a British citizen!"

Staff member: "You are not."

Bu Huaquan: "But the passport clearly states British citizenship, doesn't it?"

Staff member: "You are a resident of Hong Kong, a British colony, and are nominally a British citizen. In reality, you do not have any nationality."

Bu Huaquan: "Then what am I?"

Staff member: "I'm sorry, I don't have an answer."

All eyes turned to them...

The way people looked at him was strange, as if they were mocking or ridiculing him...

At that moment, the sunlight outside was shrouded in dark clouds. Bu Huaquan felt a sense of humiliation, just like when his British boss called him by the name "half-cooked" back then. He was burning with anger, but he didn't know where to direct it.

Finally, he endured the humiliation and joined the queue for 'foreigners'.

Right now,

He couldn't help but ask himself: Do I really want to come to England? Is my home really in England?

Where is my home?
Having been educated by Jardine Matheson, he began to feel lost at this moment.

……

……

On Hong Kong Island,

Guan Zu was unaware that a man named Bu Huaquan was facing a life-altering decision.

at this time,

Da Tou reported something to him: "A citizen at the South China Daily said he wants to expose our Five Star Group because we want to take back the shares and dividends of Five Star Bank, Five Star Supermarket, etc."

When Da Tou received this message, he was also a little confused.

Clearly, this old Zhou believes that the South China Daily is "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," but he doesn't know that the South China Daily has already been taught a lesson by Guan Zu and dares not report recklessly at all.

The South China Daily received the news last night and tipped them off early this morning.

"exposure?"

Guan Zu laughed: "This is the first time I've seen someone expose themselves... If he wants to report it, let him report it."

Big Head: "Okay!"

Kwan Cho: "Also, don't these kinds of people like to immigrate? They set up a shell company, help the people on the list immigrate, and let them all immigrate to the UK to face the harsh realities of life. Staying in Hong Kong is a cancer."

Big Head: "But British citizenship is very difficult to obtain..."

Guan Zu: "Just get them temporary residence permits, and once they're kicked out, we won't let them come back."

Big Head's eyes lit up: "As expected of Brother Zu, he's really cunning!"

Brother Zu, you're awesome!
Guan Zu: "Hmm?"

Big Head quickly replied, "No, no, what I mean is—wise and mighty, handsome and dashing!"
