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

Chapter 862 "860" Approaching the Decisive Battle of the Financial Crisis: A Few Things About Hong Kong Island!
At the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the game finally came to an end with Guan Zu's decisive blow.

Even if the Hong Kong Jockey Club didn't want to, it had no choice but to accept it.

Meanwhile, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) investigated for days and finally found the mole within the ICAC—Yu Hongsheng.

It can only be said that a leopard can't change its spots. He used to be close to foreigners, but later changed his tune and promptly sided with the mainland faction. Now, he's tipping off the Hong Kong Jockey Club about this matter.

After the investigation, Yu Hongsheng was immediately dismissed from his post and will be prosecuted. If the prosecution is successful, he will likely serve several years in prison.

Lu Zhilian, having already secured his position through the cases of the Director of the Printing Bureau and the Jockey Club, and being one of the first to defect, was naturally promoted on the spot now that he had the qualifications.

He was promoted one level further—to Inspector of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

……

the next day,

Guan Zu entered a state of boredom once again.

First, there's Soros. Following his attack on the Hong Kong financial market in March, he began another large-scale sell-off of Hong Kong dollars in late April and early May, converting them into US dollars, while simultaneously buying large amounts of futures contracts in the futures market…

As a result, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has been continuously depleting its US dollar reserves, from more than US$900 billion at the beginning to more than US$400 billion today.

Of this, $100 billion was siphoned off by Guan Zu's organization, which lured away wealthy individuals and ordinary citizens.

As for the stock market, it has already fallen to 10000 points.

Soros felt that Hong Kong Island was very strange. It did fall, but it didn't fall to the level he expected, which was very awkward.

However, there is no turning back once the arrow is released. Forces such as the United States, the US Central Bank, international speculative capital, and the IMF are all pushing him to launch a final battle against Hong Kong Island in August.

Can he withdraw?
No refund!

If he dares to back down, others will push him off a cliff.

The second thing is the dragon boat race.

Last time, as the Dragon Boat Festival approached, the popularity of dragon boat races began to rise.

As the first Dragon Boat Festival since its return to China, Five Star Group once again invited dragon boat teams from all over the country.

As for the Liaoning team, which is known as the "arch-enemy," the "King of Hell" in dragon boat racing, and the "terminator," they have been invited to Hong Kong Island again. It is said that the Liaoning team issued a slogan to avenge their previous defeat and remove the shameful title of "King of Hell."

With the arrival of various dragon boat teams, Shing Mun River in Sha Tin District began to bustle with activity.

The sixth thing,

Guan Zu organized three more large-scale investment trips by Hong Kong business groups to the mainland, achieving complementary advantages and win-win cooperation between the two sides.

……

5 month 30 day,
Dragon Boat Festival
The Shing Mun River in Sha Tin District was once again engulfed in celebration, attracting hundreds of thousands of citizens from all over Hong Kong to come and watch the festivities.

The race will still be a straight-line race in the morning and a curve race in the afternoon.

The Liaoning team performed consistently and became the biggest highlight of today's dragon boat race, capsizing 4 boats in the straight race and 3 boats in the curved race.

It is said that the Liaoning players looked up to the sky and cried: "We haven't even shown our full potential yet."

The dragon boat teams whose boats they had overturned were so angry they wanted to fight.

After the competition, under the cameras of ATV, TVB, and numerous other media outlets, Kwan Cho went on stage to present awards to the winning dragon boat team.

……

6 month 3 day,
A major event has occurred in Muddy India.

Presidential election.

During the day, the national election takes place.

In the evening, the votes were tallied.

The election results were announced the following day.

……

Central Plaza.

"Brother Zu! Brother Zu!"

"Great news!"

When Guan Zu woke up early in the morning, Ding Hu was already knocking on the door.

Guan Zu quickly got up and went to open the door: "What's wrong? The results are in?"

Ding Hu exclaimed excitedly, "The results are in! The leader of the Democratic Party has successfully secured 45% of the vote and has been elected as the new president!"

Hearing this, Guan Zu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha~~~Great!"

Guan Zu also laughed excitedly.

Although he had expected it, he was still incredibly excited when he got the result!
Although the Democratic Party is supported by the United States, it is also plagued by various chaotic groups within its ranks.

But compared to the other two parties, one with a history of bloodshed and the other with strong xenophobia, the Democratic Party is a great benefactor.

Moreover, the Democratic Party's inclusive environment is ideal for the rapid establishment, growth, and expansion of the five-star property model.

More importantly, the crisis has passed!
Five Star Group has also successfully acquired some important industries, such as rubber plantations, and so on...

In short, they've won so badly they're completely overwhelmed!

Ding Hu was also very happy.

Brother Zu, your merits are immeasurable!

……

……

After the mud seal issue was resolved, Guan Zu seemed to have a heavy burden lifted off his shoulders.

I felt several pounds lighter all over.

Next,
The only major issue he had to deal with was the final battle against the Hong Kong financial crisis!
……

6 month 15 day,
The Third-Party Audit Commission Ordinance submitted by the Legislative Council was officially published in the Gazette after being signed by the Chief Executive.

This is now officially in effect.

The following day, the Legislative Council convened a meeting, and the "Hong Kong Jockey Club Third-Party Audit Committee" was formally established. Kwan Cho served as the chairman of the committee, and representatives of the Secretary for Justice and the Financial Secretary served as vice-chairmen. The committee also included members from the legal and auditing fields, professionals, and independent members of society.

On the same day,

News report.

Hong Kong Island residents' comments:

With Mr. Guan here, the Jockey Club will have justice!

On the third day,
Guan Qingtian then brought the "third-party independent committee members" to the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Chairperson Gao Xuliguo, along with nine directors, the CEO, and twelve executive directors from various departments, stood at the entrance of the Jockey Club, holding their noses in anticipation of the arrival.

Guan Zu got off the car.

Dressed in a suit, he exuded an imposing and unapproachable aura.

The members of the committee followed, their momentum unstoppable.

Horse Racing Association?

Now I'm going to audit you!

Haha~~~~
"Mr. Guan, welcome to the Jockey Club and all of you for your guidance!"

Gao Xuliguo and others hurriedly stepped forward, forcing out slightly stiff smiles.

They shook hands with each other.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sides moved to a large conference room inside the Jockey Club.

Kwan Cho stood at the head of the table and declared firmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Third-Party Audit Committee Ordinance is now in effect, and the 'Third-Party Independent Committee' has officially commenced its oversight and audit work on the Hong Kong Jockey Club..."

The meeting lasted for several hours.

Both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on the details, procedures, and timelines of the audit.

Near the end, Guan Zu concluded:
"This collaboration is of great significance to the Hong Kong Jockey Club and to the community of Hong Kong Island..."

Ko Tsui Lai-kwok also stated: "The Jockey Club will fully cooperate and hopes that under the supervision of the committee, the Jockey Club can continue to improve and continue to contribute to the development of Hong Kong Island."

He was outwardly respectful, but inwardly he had been cursing and swearing for months.

In the past, the Hong Kong Jockey Club was the emperor, and political and business elites were all part of its network of connections, wielding immense power in Hong Kong.

And now...

There's now an emperor emeritus pooping on his head!
Diuna Star!
That despicable Guan Yu!
Ahhhhhh~~~~~
……

That evening, TVB and ATV reported the news.

"Dear viewers, a major event has occurred in Hong Kong Island today. The much-anticipated 'Independent Third-Party Committee' has officially entered the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club to begin comprehensive oversight and auditing work..."

Mr. Guan stated that...

"This audit is both a challenge and an opportunity for the Hong Kong Jockey Club. In the future, the Jockey Club will return with a brand-new image and regain the public's trust..."

These two news items quickly sparked heated discussions among Hong Kong Island residents as soon as they were broadcast.

The following day, the races at Sha Tin Racecourse and Happy Valley saw a surge in visitors.

……

……

Before we knew it, it was September.

The weather on Hong Kong Island is gradually getting hotter.

This month, a very important event will happen on Hong Kong Island—the closure of Kai Tak Airport and the opening of a new airport.

7 month 5 day,
Today is the last day of Kai Tak Airport's life.

Despite the various shortcomings of Kai Tak Airport
It has only one runway and is surrounded by high-density buildings, making its airspace extremely narrow.

When taking off and landing, aircraft need to navigate through a narrow space surrounded by mountains on three sides, and often have to deal with strong crosswinds. The difficulty of landing can be described as "hellish", which is why it is listed on the "blacklist" of 15 dangerous airports in the world.

The runway and taxiway are too close together, and even a slight accident could paralyze the airport. The area below the runway is a densely populated residential area, and the consequences of a serious accident would be unimaginable.

However, it has served Hong Kong Island for 73 years. Since its first flight record in 1925, Kai Tak Airport has witnessed Hong Kong's glorious journey from a small fishing port to an international metropolis.

At its peak, it was one of the busiest airports in the world. In 1996, Kai Tak Airport ranked third among the world's busiest passenger airports and had the highest international cargo volume globally.

It carries countless travel memories for Hong Kong Island residents, and many Hong Kong Island residents have deep feelings for it.

On this special day, many citizens flocked to the airport.

The Kowloon City area was bustling with people, with elderly people holding children's hands and looking up at the planes coming and going.

Young men and women stood in the open space, watching quietly, feeling reluctant to leave this old airport.

Outside the airport terminal, people were taking photos with the airport signs and waiting seats.

The last flight to land at Kai Tak Airport was Dragonair flight KA841, which arrived at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport at 23:38 that evening.
而最后一班在启德机场起飞的航班，则是7月6日凌晨00时02分起飞，从港岛前往伦敦希斯罗国际机场的国泰航空有限公司CX251号班机。

After the last flight departed from Kai Tak Airport, the airport relocation plan proceeded at full speed, and all 29 aircraft parked at Kai Tak Airport were transferred to Chek Lap Kok Airport.

then,

The Chief Secretary for Administration and the Director of Civil Aviation presided over the runway lights-out ceremony inside the airport control tower.

At 1:17 a.m., the Director of Civil Aviation said goodbye with the words "Goodbye Kai Tak, thank you!" and pressed the button to turn off all the lights on the runway, officially marking the end of the history of Kai Tak Airport.

7 month 6 day,
The new Chek Lap Kok Airport has officially commenced operations.

At the same time, the building height restrictions originally established to ensure the safety of the Kai Tak Airport airway were officially lifted.

Since then,

There are no longer restrictions on building height in Kowloon.

Kai Tak has come to an end!

A new era has arrived!
