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

Chapter 909 "21" The Squid Man's top brass hold a meeting: The Chinese are a major threat, we must deal with them!
In November, a major event occurred in the US stock market.

On November 17, Google's stock price made a major breakthrough, climbing above $400 for the first time.

Based on this stock price, Google's total market capitalization soared to $1000 billion.

……

That night,

The ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel Palo Alto in Silicon Valley is bathed in warm golden light.

Today, this is Google's victory celebration party!
A huge LED screen displayed the words "Total market value of 1000 billion US dollars".

Invitees included shareholders, senior executives, and core engineers.

At the entrance to the banquet hall, Google co-founders Larry and Sergey Brin, along with CEO Eric, who joined in 2001, greeted guests side by side.

At 7:30, Larry walked onto the makeshift stage and tapped the microphone.

The banquet hall fell silent instantly, with only the faint sound of ice cubes clinking against the distant bar audible.

"Today is a day worth celebrating..."

He raised his hand to indicate the screen behind him.

"$400, $1000 billion..."

"This is thanks to all the shareholders and all the employees..."

"First of all, I want to thank Mr. Li Jie... In 1998, it was he who invested in Google's first angel round, which allowed Google to continue moving forward..."

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

Li Jie, holding a wine glass, was surrounded by applause in the crowd, and he returned the applause with a smile.

Google has many shareholders, including Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Sequoia Capital, Fidelity, BlackRock, Vanguard Group, and State Street Bank.

In addition, there are several world-renowned special investment funds.

Li Jie is currently a California state legislator, wielding considerable power. He is also the vice chairman of Umbrella Corporation.

In the past, many investors thought that Umbrella Properties were nothing special.

However, despite being smeared by the Republicans last time, Umbrella Corporation has not only survived but has become even stronger.

This is a bit scary.

This means that no one in the United States can deal with Umbrella Corporation.

Unless it's an assassination.

then,

At this banquet, Li Jie was undoubtedly the most eye-catching person.

Other things like Sequoia Capital... capital has to take a backseat.

Why was Larry on stage the first to thank Li Jie?

Could it be that Li Jie is handsome?

No!

It's because Li Jie has a property management company protecting him!
How many shares of Google does Umbrella Corporation hold today? Initially, it held 15% of the shares, and subsequently made priority investments, bringing its stake to 23%, worth $230 billion, making it the largest shareholder in all but name.

Larry then thanked the other shareholders one by one.

Then comes the traditional bell-ringing ceremony.

Kakaka~~~
The bell-ringing ended.

"For the next $1000 billion!"

"cheers!"

Larry raised his glass and shouted, and all the guests raised their glasses in response.

……

……

It was just past midnight in the New York suburbs in November.

Three black Mercedes-Benzes drove smoothly on the intercontinental highway, their headlights piercing the thick darkness of the night.

Guan Zu sat in the back row.

He went to a banquet and is only now returning.

Barney Ross, in the driver's seat, was driving intently.

Li Shengya, in the passenger seat, vigilantly observed the front and rear of the car.

As for the Mercedes-Benz vehicles in front and behind, they were bodyguard cars.

Barney Ross: "Boss, when are you going to hire some good drivers?"

Guan Zu: "I want to too..."

At this moment, about 100 meters behind them,
A silver-gray heavy-duty container truck is speeding along.

The vehicle is marked with the blue lettering "Western Electronic Logistics".

(Image from "The Fast and the Furious")
A black Ford pickup truck sped out from the emergency lane and drove right up in front of the truck.

The pickup truck had no license plates, a crash barrier was installed on the front, and blurry black stickers were pasted on the side of the vehicle.

Almost simultaneously, two dark green Hummer SUVs emerged from different parts of the woods and surrounded the truck in a triangular formation.

The Hummer doors opened simultaneously, and two hooded men jumped out, each holding a stun gun.

Jump onto the front of the car.

He crawled into the driver's seat, fought with the driver, and finally held a stun gun to the driver's neck.

Sizzle~~~
The truck driver immediately passed out.

The bandits took control of the truck and continued speeding forward.

Meanwhile, the three cars driven by Guan Zu ahead also discovered the robbery behind them.

Li Shengshan's hand rested on the gun handle.

"boss!"

Guan Zu glanced at his reflection in the rearview mirror and said calmly, "We're just passing by, don't worry about it."

This is America, not Hong Kong, so Kwan Cho had no intention of standing up for the wronged.

Li Shengya: "Yes!"

Then notify the two vehicles in front and behind.

Their job is to be bodyguards, not to uphold justice.

Barney Ross slightly adjusted the direction, bringing the Mercedes as close to the edge of the lane as possible to create distance from the scene of the robbery.

The robbers naturally noticed the Mercedes-Benz ahead.

However, both sides tacitly agreed to pretend they didn't know each other.

Soon we arrived at the fork in the road.

The two went their separate ways.

When they parted,
Guan Zu seemed to see the figure of the bald-headed, arrogant Tang Laoda.

"........."

"fast and Furious"?
……

……

A new day,
New York police officer Brian received orders from his superiors and arrived at a luxury villa.

(Image: Brian, the star of "Fast & Furious")

"Sir!"

"You're here... Today, Forbes is here. There's a big case; the NYPD and Forbes are working together on it..."

"What case?"

"It's a good case for you..."

The meeting was convened soon after.

The story begins three months ago when a group of robbers frequently robbed trucks carrying electronic products, succeeding each time and stealing approximately one million US dollars each time…

Last night, another robbery occurred, which alerted the New York Police Department, who wanted to take over the case. However, the New York Police Department refused, and the two sides eventually decided to cooperate and work together on the case.

"Based on clues at the scene, it was discovered that the criminal gang was a group of racing enthusiasts who were passionate about modifying race cars, and the biggest suspect was none other than Tang Laoda, a well-known race car driver in New York State."

"Therefore, we need to send in an undercover agent!"

As he spoke, the bald leader's gaze fell on Brian.

Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to Brian.

Brian: "…………"

It went numb on the spot!

Being an undercover agent?
You're going to die, okay?!
The bald leader smiled and said, "Brian... you were a racing prodigy in your youth, this undercover mission is perfect for you!"

Brian shook his head so hard his brains practically spilled out: "Ah, I can't do it, I can't..."

Bald-headed boss: "You're the one!"

No refusing allowed!

Brian: "…………"

Finally, Brian's personal history was fabricated, and he was assigned a job as a clerk in an auto parts store, where he started his attack on Dom's sister, Mia. Mia ran a coffee shop, which Brian frequented.

……

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Brian orchestrated a match against Dom, then the police came to arrest him, and he escaped with Dom on his back. This successfully won over Dom's Family Hero team, earning Dom's approval and leading to Brian joining the Family team.

The team consists of many members, including Dom's sister Mia, his rival Vince, the modification genius Jesse, and Dom's girlfriend Letty.

"Welcome Brian to our family..."

"welcome!"

"We are a family!"

Watching Boss Tang shout slogans,
Brian: "…………"

I don't know why I thought of my family's property management.

Meanwhile, the police were also prepared, having set up a trap with a truck transporting valuables to lure Tang's gang into the trap. Once they robbed them, the police would block the end of the road, leaving them with no chance of escape.

Tang took the bait and led his men in three modified cars to begin their operation.

Brian and Dom... well, his sister Mia have been together for a while now. He also agrees with the "family hero" concept. In order to save Dom, he has no choice but to tell Mia that he is a police officer.

He convinced Mia and drove off to rescue them.

I came back after rescuing the person.

The police were unhappy.

Dom was wanted, and then Brian was fired.

……

In front of the New York Police Department...

Brian stood alone outside the door, the autumn wind was bleak, and the sun shone down, but it brought him no warmth.

It's so cold!
"I……"

Brian was absolutely furious.

After going around in circles, he lost his police job, his girlfriend left him, and he lost his 'family' too.

That's terrible, holy crap!
What's even more frustrating is that he's broke.

Without a job, I can't even afford to rent a house.

at this time……

A black Mercedes pulled up beside them.

Bald Jason Statham… Lee Christmas rolled down the car window and said to Brian, “Hey kid, wanna find a job as a driver?”

Brian: "Who are you?"

Li Shengtang: "Family property management, boss's driver, want it or not..."

Brian: "…………"

……

After half an hour,
Brian arrived at his family's property building, to the top-floor office.

Then I saw that man who was like the sun—Guan Zu!
"Family members, does anyone understand?!"

"I thought my life was about to fall into darkness, but I never expected to be greeted by even greater light!"

"What police!"

"I don't love it!"

"I love my boss, long live the boss!"

This is the boss's driver!

What is the boss's identity? A rising political star in the Republican Party, a billionaire, a big shot on the power list. Being able to be his driver is simply a blessing that comes from eighteen generations of good deeds!

Brian grinned so wide his mouth was crooked, giving off a silly grin.

Guan Zu: "…………"

Guan Zu looked at Li Shengya: "When you came, did you beat him up? Did you damage his brain?"

Li Shengshan looked completely innocent: "No."

Brian realized he had indeed acted a bit silly and quickly regained his serious expression.

"boss!"

He seems very reliable!

Guan Zu looked up at Brian's head; his loyalty had already soared to 90.

I haven't even shown my winning strategy yet, and you're already at 90?
You're being way too cheap!
“Brian, I’ve been watching you for a long time… I’m very satisfied with your performance in this case.”

"what?"

Do you know what makes me happy?

"do not know."

"Brotherly loyalty! You were willing to betray the police station to save your brother out of loyalty. I am very satisfied with this action!"

Brian scratched his head, hehehe~~~~
Guan Zu: "Actually, given your behavior of letting that Boss Tang go, the police would definitely have issued an arrest warrant for you. However, I spoke with the police, and they gave me face and didn't issue one."

Upon hearing this, Brian suddenly realized why he had only been fired.

"Thank you, boss!!"

Stand at attention and salute!
Guan Zu waved his hand: "No need to be polite, we're family!"

"From now on, you will be my personal driver, with a monthly salary of $10. After a year, I'll provide you with a house, a car, and all that..."

Brian was overjoyed and cried with excitement.

My boss is like the sun; I can never repay his kindness!
loyalty!

Loyalty level skyrocketed to 99!

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of New York.

There is a secret organization—the Squid CEO Club.

Like the Squid Mutual Aid Association, it is a high-level organization within the squid community.

meeting room.

A group of squid-like people wearing 'hats' are having a meeting around a long table.

"As everyone has seen, the ratings for 'Liberty Media Group' are getting higher and higher..."

"This means that Chinese people are now gaining an increasingly dominant position in the American media industry."

As a squid person, I have always attached great importance to publicity channels.

Therefore,
The presence of numerous "squid men" in many American media outlets today is significant.
For example, News Corp., although its owner Rupert Murdoch is not a squid, the president of its global film and television business is a squid.

Time Warner Group: The Chairman and CEO of Time Warner is a squid. The head of Warner Bros. Records, the largest subsidiary of Warner Music, is also a squid. Furthermore, the editor-in-chief of Warner Publishing is also a squid.

The founder of NBCUniversal, Karl Lammer, was a squid immigrant.

Disney: The Chairman and CEO of Disney is a squid, and the owner of Disney Studios is also a squid.

The chairman of CBS Corporation is also a squid.

"There's another point we should pay attention to!"

"Besides the media, their influence in American politics is also growing."

"No matter how you look at it, Chinese people are our enemies now and in the future!"

Because of the constant slaughter, the squid people have always longed for a base.

So the mindset of the entire top echelon of the squid, besides making their own countries stronger and occupying more territory in the Middle East, is to parasitize the United States and suck its lifeblood.

Currently,

The parasitic methods used by squid-men in the United States are quite 'advanced'.

E.g,

In a certain industry, once a "squid person" becomes a company leader, the squid leader will prioritize placing squid people into the company. Therefore, squid people often quickly occupy key positions in a company and thus gain control of the company.

There's a saying that goes, "If a company has one Indian, it's bound to have a bunch of Indians."

Clearly, the squid man came earlier.

Moreover, Squid Man also likes to get involved in finance and acquisitions, and often works in collusion with others to quickly dominate an industry.

Then, the Squid People also have many secret little societies. They are organized because they have been slaughtered throughout history, so they naturally like to form underground societies and secret plans, such as the Squid President's Association and the Squid Mutual Aid Association.

This often leads to the formation of clandestine business alliances that strangle competitors, leaving only squid people in an industry.

For example, since 2005, Hollywood and American media have been completely monopolized by the "squid man" in just a few decades. They will systematically monopolize an industry through joint suppression, short selling, and acquisitions.

And if you're not a squid, I'm definitely going to kill you; this industry only has squid.

It can be said that when a "squid man" appears in any high-value, high-profit industry, there are a bunch of "squid men" lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.

The Squid Men used this organized action to fight against those unorganized companies in the United States. The Squid Men were bound to wreak havoc, which is why they were able to quickly take control of key industries in the United States.

And now,
It seems that Chinese people have started to follow their example without even realizing it!

Based on the umbrella property management, happiness property management, and family property management, it gradually expands.

The squid man was furious:

They're walking the path I'm on!
They're no longer just ordinary troublemakers!

We must strike hard!

1: That's all for today's update.

2. Reason: My daughter is in first grade and has been reading English a lot (it's been three weeks since she started school). She can read without any problem, but when asked to remember a specific word, she can't remember it no matter what, who, how, i, my, you, your... She can't remember any of them (I was so frustrated last night that I laughed in anger).

Are there any experienced book lovers here?
