Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 49 Precise Control
"You really know how to manipulate me!"

The four of them didn't leave the old lady's house until evening.

Li Fu's cooking skills were impeccable, and everyone nodded in approval as they ate.

The old lady was so happy that she asked everyone to stay.

As soon as Liang Kun stepped out, he started complaining to Wang Dao, who chuckled and said:
"Auntie is very happy!"

Liang Kun fell silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth:
"Even if you want to make my mother happy, you can say something else, right?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"Brother Kun, at your age, what do you have that would make your aunt happy?"

Liang Kun almost lost his mind.

Is he the head of the Hung Hing Group in Mong Kok?
Stop it.

If Liang Kun dared to say that, do you believe the old lady would faint?

What else is there besides this?
To say he makes money?

Does the old lady like this?
Wang Dao's casual remark struck a chord with Liang Kun, infuriating him.

It wasn't that I was angry at Wang Dao, but rather that I reflected on myself and suddenly realized that he was really unfilial.

It is truly heartbreaking to suddenly realize that one's actions are "unfilial" for a filial son.

Liang Kun screamed loudly, like a madman.

Wang Dao led Li Fu and Chen Yongren to hide far away.

After a long while, Liang Kun calmed down, but seeing the three of them, he suddenly became even angrier:

Why are you all so far away?

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Brother Kun is so handsome and dashing, we feel quite ashamed of ourselves standing next to you!"

Handsome Kun laughed in exasperation:
"You're really good with words."

He remained silent for a long while before speaking.

"Thanks for earlier, bro."

"You really know how to make the elderly happy."

Wang Dao asked in surprise:
"Thank you for what?"

Liang Kun rolled his eyes:
"Thank you for telling my mother those lies."

Wang Dao immediately said:
"I don't lie!"

what? !

Liang Kun stared at him speechlessly:
"Are you really going to let me start some kind of Qiankun Film and Television Company?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"if not?"

"If Auntie suddenly decides to visit Qiankun Film and Television Company one day, and you don't let her go, how heartbroken would she be?"

"What if one day Auntie is talking to Ma You about you and mentions this Qiankun Film and Television Company, and then some argumentative person checks and finds that there's no such company? How embarrassing would that be for Auntie?"

"One lie requires ten thousand lies to cover it up, and they're still easy to be seen through."

"There is only one best way to make a lie true..."

Liang Kun's face was slightly pale:

"What way?"

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"Why not just make the lie appear as the truth?"

"It's just starting a film and television company, it's such a simple thing."

Leung Kwan spread his hands:
"What the hell would I do with a film company? What kind of movies would we make?"

Wang Dao said solemnly:
"If we're going to do something shady, we'll make some Category III films or even adult films."

"If we want to do something legitimate, we should hire some film and television staff and make some proper films."

"If we want to expand a bit more, we can take over the movie theater chain as well."

Liang Kun stared at him in astonishment:
"Have you done any research?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"After all, I'm your right-hand man. I gave you an idea, so naturally I have to take responsibility."

"Otherwise, what use is my lead horse?"

"Of course, if we want to talk about its role in the gang, the simplest one is that it can launder money."

Liang Kun's heart skipped a beat.

Money laundering?!
This is a lucrative business, bordering on violent.

Illegal money cannot be used directly; it must be laundered through special means before it can be used.

However, the cost of this is not low.

At market prices, if one million in illicit funds is laundered, getting six hundred thousand is considered a sign of the other party having a conscience.

"You even know how to launder money?" Wang Dao shrugged.

"Money laundering isn't actually that mysterious; it's just that we haven't studied it properly."

"We can do it using many methods."

"The simplest one is the betting on Macau."

"Then comes the auctioning of artworks and real estate."

"The least likely thing to be investigated is the cash flow of small street shops."

"A more advanced method is stock market manipulation..."

Liang Kun was completely baffled and asked directly:
Are you sure making movies can be used for money laundering?

Wang Dao nodded:
"sure!"

"There's a lot of money in there that can be laundered."

"For example, falsifying set design, box office figures, actors' salaries, company profits... all of these can be done."

"This kind of thing is very easy to wash."

"Even if it's a piece of dog poop, if you want to clean it up, you can package it into a box office champion with ten million yuan!"

"Then it's not dog poop, it's dog poop that tastes like chocolate!"

Handsome Kun spat:
"What kind of analogy is that? It's disgusting."

However, his eyes shone.
"I've invested in Qiankun Film and Television Company. Nobody can compete with me for it!"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"That's your company!"

Liang Kun put his arm around Wang Dao's shoulder and said:
"Aside from being a bit sharp-tongued, you're incredibly loyal."

"That's a million dollars! You think you can just give it to my mother like that?"

"Don't you feel bad?"

Wang Daoqi said:

"That's your money anyway, why should I care?"

Liang Kun said in astonishment:
"That's the bounty the cops gave you, how can it be considered my money?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Let's sort this out."

"I did find out the information about Lin Guoyun correctly, but the informant fee was paid by you, Brother Kun. I was just the person who handled it."

"No matter how you calculate it, it's still your money."

Handsome Kun chuckled:

"Do you think I'm an idiot? It's not like I haven't been informed before; how could I have received such information?"

"Ado, you're good at everything, except you're too modest."

"It's your skill to receive news from Lin Guoyun. The reward is yours."

Wang Dao immediately said:
"Alright, alright, it's my turn."

"But Kun, you lent me two million to buy stocks, consider this one million as repayment to you."

Handsome Kun said speechlessly:
"You don't love money? I've never seen anyone actually push money away."

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
"Of course I love money, but I care more about my brothers!"

Liang Kun patted Wang Dao's shoulder hard, in high spirits:
"You, you."

"Don't worry, Adao. With Brother Kun by your side, Brother Kun will definitely not treat you badly."

Wang Daoli naturally said:
"Of course! You've forgotten, I did my due diligence before becoming your disciple."

Liang Kun laughed heartily.

That's right. When Wang Dao was looking for Liang Kun to be his boss, he said that he had paid for information.

Liang Kun suddenly glanced at Chen Yongren and reminded Wang Dao:

"Chen Guozhong is very capable. He glanced at Aren before he left, and I felt that something was going on."

Chen Yongren's pupils contracted, and his heart pounded violently.

Wang Dao calmly glanced at Chen Yongren:
"About Ah Ren... I might know why."

Liang Kun's Strange Path:

"Ah Ren has another story?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Didn't I tell you about Ah Ren's background? You might not know who his biological father is..."

Chen Yongren's expression changed.
