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

Chapter 824: "823" preceded by the "Fang Jiexia Act" and followed by the "Chen Yuan Act"! The progress of Mudprint's strategy!

the next day,
The Oriental Daily News published an interview with Guan Zu.

Guan Zu's influence is naturally extraordinary. Now that even Guan Zu has taken notice of this matter, it has naturally sparked a heated discussion throughout Hong Kong.

"Even Mr. Guan has spoken up, so it seems he's angry too."

"That Chen Yuan is too much. He studies law but doesn't abide by it, and he's so smug about it."

"Exactly, Qinxin University is too lax. How can they admit someone like this into the law school? Who will trust the students they train in the future?"

"I hope the laws can be made stricter, so that these bad people don't have a chance."

"The law must be powerful, otherwise it will not be able to deter these morally corrupt people."

……

The Chen family, however, dared not put on airs anymore.

Since Guan Zu has already stepped in, if we still refuse to pay compensation without the money, we're just asking for trouble.

Find Louis Koo immediately, offer compensation, and apologize.

Louis Koo, of course, wouldn't let this family off easily, and started recording a video. The photographer was Ghost Eye.

The Chen family turned green with embarrassment, but in the end they still held their noses, apologized loudly, and paid compensation.

That night,

ATV and TVB then broadcast the recording, letting the whole of Hong Kong watch the spectacle.

When Chen Yuan's father returned to the company the next day, he could clearly feel the strange looks from his employees, but luckily he was thick-skinned enough.

……

Two more days passed,
The Legislative Council building is hosting its weekly meeting.

As the legislators arrived at the Legislative Council meeting room, they saw two documents on the table.

The meeting began.
"Good morning, colleagues..."

Guan Zu sat in the host's seat, his expression solemn.

"Everyone should have heard about the recent smear campaign against the University of Hong Kong."

"This matter itself is not a big deal, but the problems it reflects are extremely serious."

"so……"

"I have put forward two new legislative proposals today."

Guan Zuyang waved the two documents in his hand.

"Both proposals have been presented to every legislator."

"These two proposals are the 'Strengthening the Punishment of False Accusations, Defamation, and Extortion Act' and the 'Ethical Review and Professional Entry Standards for Legal Professionals Act'..."

Then Guan Zu began to introduce the first bill: the "Strengthening of Punishment for False Accusations, Defamation and Extortion Act".

"Current laws impose too lenient penalties on malicious false accusations, defamation, and extortion, therefore, the punishments need to be strengthened..."

"Regarding compensation, if the person suffers serious mental consequences, loses their job, or faces negative public opinion, there is no upper limit to the penalty, and millions of Hong Kong dollars can be paid in compensation."

"In terms of criminal penalties, if defamation leads to serious consequences such as suicide or mental breakdown of the victim, the offender will be sentenced to more than three years in prison."

Why would Guan Yu want to strengthen this aspect?
When defamation has no cost, a large amount of defamation will occur.

When extortion has no cost, a large number of extortion incidents (extortion) will occur.

When false accusations have no cost, a large number of false accusations will occur (the tip of the gun).

……

After introducing the first document, Guan Zu picked up another proposal, the "Ethical Review and Professional Access Standards Act for Legal Professionals":
"This bill establishes a comprehensive ethical vetting mechanism from college admission to employment..."

"Strict screening upon admission..."

"Continued supervision during school years..."

"Further in-depth review before professional access..."

"Purifying the legal profession from its source..."

The meeting lasted until the afternoon, with many regulations being hotly debated.

Many legislators know that although Kwan Ts'ao has great authority, he encourages people to express their opinions. As long as it is done in the public interest, even if they attack Kwan Ts'ao, he will not object.

Therefore, many legislators raised different opinions on some of the clauses. If Kwan thought they were good, he would agree; if he thought they were not good, he would vote to decide. He did not make decisions unilaterally.

The issue of ethical standards is the most hotly debated.

……

That night,

ATV provided a brief report on the content of the Legislative Council meeting.

"Today, the Legislative Council's weekly meeting is being held..."

"Legislative Council Chairman Kwan Cho submitted two bills: the 'Strengthening Punishment of False Accusations, Defamation, and Extortion Act' and the 'Ethical Review and Professional Entry Standards for Legal Professionals Act'..."

"Based on existing relevant laws, strengthen the penalties for defamation..."

"In addition, the ethical standards for law students have been strengthened..."

All Hong Kong citizens: Wow, Mr. Kwan Cho is so efficient!

Meanwhile, at Chen Yuan's home, the three members of the family turned green with rage.

……

A new day,
Newspapers all over Hong Kong are reporting on this.

Oriental Daily News has always been at the forefront, directly using a headline:
The "Chen Yuan Act," comparable to the "Fang Jiexia Act," is here!

It immediately attracted the attention of most citizens.

The Fang Jiexia Act, famously known by many citizens as a historic law that transformed the police force.

Therefore, the headline of the Oriental Daily News directly led to the newspaper selling out today.

Citizen: Let me take a look!
Other newspapers, because they weren't sensational enough, didn't sell as well.

……

Central,

Fang Jiexia got up early in the morning, ate a lovingly fried egg at home, and then went downstairs to work.

She started a clothing company and made a small profit.

After going downstairs, she habitually went to the roadside to buy a newspaper, and then saw the headline of the Oriental Daily.

"Bang!"

"Push to the street!"

Her face was contorted, and her eyes were spitting fire.

It was because of the "Fang Jiexia Act" that her fate changed. She was originally supposed to be a rising star in the police force, rising through the ranks from superintendent.

As a result, Guan Zu promoted the "Fang Jiexia Act," which directly nailed her to the pillar of shame. She lost her job, her reputation was ruined, and she had no friends.

All I wanted to do was put on a beautiful big show.

Isn't it normal for a few police officers to die?

Years have passed, and now they're bringing her up again.

Oriental Daily News, damn it!
Back in the company building, she could clearly feel the strange looks from those around her.

She hurried back to her office, and soon the employees outside heard a series of smashing and looting sounds.

……

Chen Yuanjia.

"Bang!"

When Chen Yuan's father saw the headline in the Oriental Daily, his expression changed.

He had already apologized and thought the matter was over.

Now that the "Chenyuan Act" is being enacted, my daughter is being directly nailed to the pillar of shame.

Not long after,
Then, Chen Yuan, the daughter, rushed in as if she had gone mad.

"Dad, that report is too much."

Chen Yuan's face was streaked with tears, her hair was disheveled, and her hands were waving in the air.

Why won't they leave me alone?!

"I've already apologized, what more do you want!"

Chen Yuan's mother looked on with heartache. Chen Yuan's father's eyes were full of helplessness and exhaustion: "Yuanyuan, now that things have come to this, you can't stay in Hong Kong Island."

Chen Yuan collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

Am I just being willful because of my minor background?

Something is wrong!
The ones in the wrong are those troublemakers!
Chen Yuan's father shook his head: "Go abroad, change your environment, and start over."

Chen Yuan threw a tantrum: "I don't want to go abroad!"

Chen Yuan's father: "There's another way, you can pretend to commit suicide and play the victim."

This is another road, but I don't know if it's passable.

"suicide?"

Chen Yuan quickly shook her head; it didn't sound reliable at all.

at this time……

The maid came in and said, "Master, there are two people outside who claim to be from an immigration company. They say they can help Miss immigrate to the UK or the US."

Chen Yuan's father thought for a moment and said, "Please invite them in."

quickly,

After being bombarded with promises by the immigration company, Chen Yuan decided to immigrate to the United States.

……

……

Late May.

Guan Zu went to the capital and returned three days later.

Upon returning, I discovered that Hong Kong Island was embroiled in a new news hotspot.

At first, it was just some tabloids making suggestive reports that "female stars were using the guise of going abroad to perform as escorts." Later, the reports became more and more bizarre, with the location clearly stated as Brunei. A large number of first- and second-tier female stars were involved, and the tabloids named them by name. In no time, the whole city was in an uproar.

Rumor has it that Brunei's wealthy and aristocratic families are very generous, and Hong Kong actresses who go there for "interviews" not only receive free airfare and accommodation, but also a gift of 100,000 yuan regardless of whether they are selected or not.

Guan Zu: "…………"

If this is true, it would be a disgrace to Hong Kong.

Of course. If foreign actresses come to Hong Kong, he'll think: Amazing!
Yes, he is indeed hypocritical.

……

Before we knew it, it was September.

ATV and TVB successively reported on news from Southeast Asia.

On March 3, the Bank of Thailand announced the freezing of assets of nine finance companies due to a liquidity crisis caused by excessive borrowing...

"Economists believe that this move marks the beginning of the exposure of the fragility of Thailand's financial system."

"At this time, Thailand's foreign exchange reserves fell from US$387 billion to US$330 billion, and the Thai baht to US dollar exchange rate fell to 28.7:1, a new low since 1984..."

"And the external debt remains at over 900 billion US dollars..."

"In the stock market, the stock index has fallen by more than 38% since January."

"The International Monetary Fund (IMF) had already begun secret negotiations with Thailand on an aid package, but demanded that Thailand implement austerity measures, which sparked protests within Thailand."

"The so-called austerity policy, which reduces the money supply, will lead to difficulties for businesses, a decline in consumer demand, and an increase in unemployment..."

Then other countries were reported.

"Currently, although Soros and other funds have not launched large-scale attacks on the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and South Korea, rumors have circulated that international funds have stockpiled large amounts of..."

"The currencies of these countries are currently slowly declining..."

Meanwhile, the stock market in Hong Kong remained very stable and even rose.

This shows that the citizens still have a lot of confidence.

Jones and others from Soros Fund Management (Hong Kong Island): "..."

Questioning life.

……

3 month 20 day.

Chen Yuan quickly completed the immigration process and immigrated to the United States. With his father's financial support, he entered the University of California, San Francisco, and became a graduate student.

this day,
She boarded a Cathay Pacific plane and arrived in San Francisco.

After exiting the airport, she took two breaths of the air.

On Hong Kong Island, she felt like she was suffocating!
And now,
"Ah~~~"

"The air of freedom and sweetness..."

Intoxicating!

Just then, bang bang bang~~~~~~
Suddenly, a burst of intense gunfire rang out in the distance.

It was a shootout between a few black men and a few police officers; it was probably some kind of drug deal.

Then several missiles hit the glass next to her, crack crack crack... the glass shattered.

"Ahhhhhh~~~~"

She let out a scream of freedom.

I was almost scared to tears.

What happened to the promised freedom of the American people? What happened to the promised good public safety?

quickly,

The two sides involved in the gunfight walked away, and the airport entrance fell silent again. All the Americans went about their business as if nothing had happened.

After all... this is a normal phenomenon, what's so surprising about it?
Chen Yuan: "???"

……

4 month.

The "Chenyuan Act"... no, it's the "Strengthening Punishment of False Accusations, Defamation and Extortion Act" and the "Ethical Review and Professional Access Standards for Legal Professionals Act," which were officially signed by the Governor of Hong Kong and published in the Gazette.

This signifies that it has been formally passed as legislation.

Guan Zu received the Gazette and saw the bill published there.

The system sent a notification:

"You have spearheaded the legislation of two bills that will significantly reduce future crimes such as extortion and defamation, purify the social atmosphere, and make society more harmonious..."

You have received the following reward: ……

……

The mud print here.

The death of the powerful and authoritative president in 1995 created a power vacuum for a period of time, although the Bloc Party continued to govern after a period of chaos. However, the introduction of the American Democratic Party and American capital by Guan Zu led to a power struggle among various political forces.

More importantly, the Democratic Party in the United States has promoted anti-authoritarian politics, broken up the power of the giants, and allowed American capital to be involved.

This gradually led to the fragmentation of power in different regions.

In this context, with the support of American Umbrella Corporations, the Democratic Party, and the capitalist forces within the Democratic Party, Chinese political forces officially stepped onto the stage, using 'democracy and freedom' as their slogan, and abolished laws restricting Chinese political participation.

After two years of development, Chinese and pro-Chinese members of parliament have gradually gained a small number of seats in parliament, thereby influencing the direction of national policy and reducing discriminatory policies against Chinese people.

On Guan Zu's side, he had Andy (from "The Shawshank Redemption") establish connections with the military, investing in military-related infrastructure projects and military-related industries, which naturally involved various forms of bribery.

They exchanged favors while simultaneously gathering evidence to incriminating evidence.

If we stop cooperating in the future, we'll just flip the table; the goal is to weather the crisis next year.

In addition, Andy, in conjunction with News Corporation of the United States, acquired a television station—Sun TV.

Founded in August 1990, it is one of Mudprint's more well-known private television stations.

If that violent incident really happens next year, Andy can quickly rally American capital to support it and report on such violence.

After two years of planning, everything at Mudprint is moving in a positive direction.

PS1: I can't write about the mud seal in detail, so I can only mention it briefly. Because the predicament is too difficult, I will tend to write it in an optimistic way.

PS2: As one reader put it, good girls get no publicity, while monsters and freaks are everywhere trying to grab attention, making people think there are too many monsters and freaks in society.

PS3: Writer's block, in pain, taking a break for one chapter.
