Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 123 "123" The Narcissistic Broken-Tooth Giant

Lin Yao wasn't just cleaning up the smuggling business; he also had Jimmy investigate the henchmen in his gang.

If anyone is found to be selling "happy powder" or "ice," they should all be kicked out.

The reason Lin Yao dared to go against a big shot like Huang Yuanbin was because of his own personal information and resources; this was why Huang Yuanbin couldn't do anything to him.

But if any of his subordinates were to make these kinds of things, Lin Yao estimated he would be in deep trouble.

Fortunately, the henchmen in his gang were all relatively honest.

Apart from a few bastards who like to take pills, nobody touches anything else.

Jimmy laughed and said, "Alright, as long as we brothers are fine. By the way, Broken Tooth Giant is coming to Hong Kong tomorrow, and you said you wanted to personally receive him."

Lin Yao nodded: "I'm also quite envious of the casino revenue in Macau. I'd like to see if I can set up a casino. Besides, that Broken Tooth Giant guy is quite interesting, and I'd like to make some contact with him."

Jimmy said with some surprise, "But I heard that Broken Tooth Giant is quite difficult to approach."

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan!"

Lin Yao clearly remembered that Broken Tooth Giant was an extremely narcissistic person.

He even went so far as to film an autobiography for himself, which led to the Macau police confirming his criminal activities and arresting him.

For a guy like that, Lin Yao just needs to fawn over him.

The next day, at the dock, Lin Yao personally came to welcome Broken Tooth Giant and arranged a hotel for him to have a welcome dinner.

The current Broken Tooth Giant has just defeated the former King of Haojiang, Moro Bing, and has become one of the top bosses in Haojiang. He is currently riding high on his success.

Lin Yao showered him with compliments, which greatly increased Broken Tooth Giant's goodwill towards Lin Yao.

"Brother Ju, your experience is truly legendary. I'm planning to arrange an exclusive interview for you. Do you have the time?" Lin Yao said with a smile to Broken Tooth Ju at the banquet.

The thug with the broken teeth waved his hand and said with a smile, "No problem, you can send someone over anytime!"

Lin Yao nodded and raised his glass: "I'll toast you!"

After a couple of drinks, Broken Tooth Giant changed his way of addressing Lin Yao: "Brother Lin, since you've given me face, I'll give you face too. I won't pursue the matter of that lawyer Dong Weiguo!"

"Haha, then I must thank Brother Ju!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

"But there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor!" Broken Tooth Giant said somewhat embarrassedly, "I heard you're in the film industry, right? I'd like to invest in one of my own movies. Do you think it's possible?"

Lin Yao found Broken Tooth Giant's words amusing: "What's wrong with that? I'll have someone interview you, Giant, and then write a script based on the interview. It should be done quickly!"

Once a person becomes famous and wealthy, they will begin to seek social recognition, attention, and respect from society.

That's exactly what this narcissistic guy, Broken Tooth Giant, lacks.

And once this movie is actually made, this guy will be in big trouble.

However, Lin Yao wouldn't remind him, since it had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, saying such things can easily annoy people.

Hearing Lin Yao agree so readily, Broken Tooth Giant was even happier.

Lin Yao also took the opportunity to express his idea: to build his own casino in Macau.

Then it was affiliated with the Broken Tooth Giant's territory.

Without a second thought, Broken Tooth Giant agreed to Lin Yao's suggestion.

After all, there are quite a few cases of Hong Kong triads opening casinos in Macau.

Moreover, Lin Yao's request is not excessive at all, and he has the ability to fulfill it.

The two parties enjoyed their drinks very much, and after dinner, they went to Lin Yao's nightclub to continue drinking.

They drank until late at night, getting Broken Tooth Giant completely unconscious, before having someone take him back to his hotel.

"Ugh!" Lin Yao himself had drunk quite a bit tonight, and the girls in the club were taking good care of him.

They brought over hot towels and hangover tea.

Jimmy laughed and said to Lin Yao, "It's time for you to experience what I did before!"

Lin Yao rolled his eyes: "Get lost!"

"But you're going to such lengths to please this Broken Tooth Giant just for the casino?" Jimmy asked curiously.

Lin Yao said calmly, "Not only that, although casinos can make money, they are not our territory after all, so we probably won't make much. What I need is a channel."

"Money laundering?" Jimmy asked, frowning.

Lin Yao nodded: "Remember when I told you before that I got in touch with a government official, right?"

“Yes, I remember!” Jimmy nodded. “It seems to be the leader of some kind of citizens’ party.”

Lin Yao said with a smile, "This guy probably wants to use our channels to launder money, so I need to show some of my strength. Besides movies, casinos are also a very good channel."

Jimmy suddenly realized: "So your main target is still that Citizens Party leader?"

“That’s right. Although Huang Yuanbin and I have reconciled, things aren’t over yet!” Lin Yao said with a sneer. “We both know very well that if we have the chance, we’ll make sure the other side is completely destroyed!” “Our foundation is weak; we need to add some more trump cards!”

Lin Yao started from scratch, and he can't compare to a family with a long and established family like Huang Yuanbin's.

Others can fail countless times without shaking their foundation, while Lin Yao has no better option than to fight to the death.

Therefore, if you want to climb up the ladder, connections and resources are extremely important.

Jimmy nodded thoughtfully: "You don't want to run for councilor again, do you?"

"Why not!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "Being a gangster is a sunset industry. Even before, they were just black gloves working for those big bosses. They could throw them away anytime they wanted because they thought they were dirty!"

"I don't want my brothers and I to be used as tools! If we're going to do it, we'll be capitalists ourselves!"

Jimmy laughed: "Stop bragging and lie down! We're capitalists with this little bit of business!"

Lin Yao shook his head: "This is the best of times. If we miss this period, it will be very difficult to turn things around again. We must seize this opportunity."

……

The next day, Lin Yao called in a reporter from his magazine and conducted an exclusive interview with Broken Tooth Giant.

Broken Tooth Giant is quite enthusiastic about things that allow him to brag.

The interview lasted four hours, starting from the debut of Broken Tooth Giant and continuing to how he defeated Morohachi.

Although there's a lot of exaggeration in it, it's mostly true.

With just a little editing, it can become a very good autobiography.

Publishing it in a martial arts magazine can generate a lot of traffic, and then we can use that report to create a script.

Many people are quite interested in this type of autobiographical film.

Hearing that his report was published in a magazine and adapted into a screenplay.

Broken Tooth Giant was quite pleased and pulled Lin Yao aside, saying, "Brother, how much would it cost to invest in a script for a movie like this?"

"It's not too expensive, around ten million should be enough!" Lin Yao said to the Broken Tooth Giant after thinking for a moment.

Broken Tooth Giant was somewhat surprised: "It's so cheap, little brother, you don't need to save me money. Your big brother Giant has money!"

This was the first time Lin Yao had ever seen such a sucker, and he said with a smile, "Brother Ju, that's enough! Unless you're going to field an all-star lineup, then maybe it'll cost a bit more!"

Broken Tooth waved his hand: "No problem, you take care of this for me, and I'll have someone transfer 20 million to you!"

"Hehe, then thank you very much, Brother Ju!" Lin Yao said with a smile, "I heard that the Twins in Macau opened a new hotel, which neither Hung Hing nor the Sanlian Gang managed to get. What do you think..."

"No problem, just send someone over, I'll take care of it for you, it's no big deal!" Broken Tooth Giant said magnanimously.

With his current power, Broken Tooth Giant could easily be considered a local tyrant in Macau.

It's just a casino; he can just give a heads-up.

This time, the arrival of the Broken Tooth Giant solved several problems, so Lin Yao's efforts to curry favor were not in vain.

After his weekly magazine was published, he even sent a copy to Broken Tooth Giant.

Broken Tooth Giant seemed quite happy. When leaving Hong Kong, he pulled Lin Yao aside and said that he would definitely treat him well next time he went to Macau.

He also instructed Lin Yao to start filming the movie as soon as possible.

Lin Yao would naturally not be careless about his casino business.

So after seeing off the Broken Tooth Giant, they found Director Wang.

"A biopic?" Director Wang hesitated, "This isn't my area of ​​expertise!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Then I'll have to ask Director Wang to introduce me to two directors. This script shouldn't be too difficult to film!"

"It might be difficult for others, since you're filming the battle between Broken Tooth Giant and Moro Handle, which requires mobilizing a lot of henchmen. But for you, it'll be a piece of cake," Director Wang said with a smile. "Alright, I'll find you a director. He should be able to handle the filming!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Director Wang!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

As for the all-star lineup that Broken Tooth Giant mentioned, things are even simpler.

The actor who played the role of "Broken Tooth Giant" spent 20 million, which is enough to hire celebrities at market price.

Not to mention that Lin Yao is a big shot in the triads; they'd have to give him a discount just to come and film a movie.

Producer Lao Li calculated the costs and concluded that even with an all-star lineup, the cost would not exceed ten million.

The remaining ten million can be considered as Lin Yao's reward for his hard work.

"Damn, the rich guys in Macau are really wealthy!" Old Li couldn't help but complain.

Lin Yao laughed and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Give me the best treatment from the crew, and figure out how to include the remaining money in the cost!"

Old Li laughed and said, "No problem, but aren't you afraid they'll find out and kill you?"

"They're willing to pay me 20 million to do this, so they won't care about these details at all!" Lin Yao said with a laugh. "I don't need any service fees for running around like this! Damn!"
