Hong Kong Movies: Red Stick Chen Haonan? Turns out he's just a scoundrel

"Damn, who the hell is close to him? He still owes me 20 million. If you kill him, my 20 million will be gone."

Liang Kun didn't beat around the bush, but told Cheng Yaodong the truth.

Cheng Yaodong was not surprised after hearing this. He just nodded and spoke while drinking tea.

"Oh right, Liang Kun. I remember you were in Mong Kok. There should be a film studio there, right? If I remember correctly, this film studio should be on the site of Babi?"

"Yes, there's a film studio. It's located at the border of my territory and Babi's. Strictly speaking, it's on Babi's territory. So, you want to make some art films too?"

As he spoke, Liang Kun revealed a very obscene expression.

Cheng Yaodong knew that the film studio run by Liang Kun was a very complete one from the venue to the equipment to the staff team. Usually they just made what Liang Kun called "art films", which were considered entertainment and did not make much money.

Liang Kun mainly makes money by attracting fans.

"How much does it cost to invest in your film studio? What are the returns?"

"What? You want to invest in a film studio too? No, no, I occasionally make art films. If they're good, I only make a million or eight hundred thousand. If they're bad, I might even lose money. Besides, most professional filming equipment is imported and very expensive. If you want to invest in a professional film studio, you'll have to invest at least several million."

Cheng Yaodong nodded after hearing this. He was actually not short of money at the moment. As long as he waited for all of Robinson's bonds to come down, he would have 300 million in a month at most.

Even if he took out 100 million of this money and put it in hotels and casinos, he would still have 200 million to spend at will.

However, the system is extremely expensive. As the system is upgraded, more and more money is spent. Naturally, we cannot just rely on the 200 million yuan to make a living.

Given the current situation in Hong Kong, you can make money by collecting protection fees, but the profit is not much, and you cannot get rich by doing so.

Opening bars, dance halls, bathhouses, including his own casinos, and the future women in Yau Ma Tei, these are definitely profitable, but the investment is not small, and the profit cycle is long. He will do these, but it is impossible to do only these.

The other, most profitable way may be to gain fans.

But Cheng Yaodong was extremely resistant to this kind of thing, so Cheng Yaodong thought about making a movie very early on.

It’s just that I have never had the time or opportunity. Now, as long as I successfully take over Babi’s territory, there will naturally be people and money to invest in the film industry.

The film industry of this era was different from the modern one. It focused on short, flat and fast production, with a script produced in a week, filming completed in a month, and direct releases common.

What's more, the Hong Kong film industry had not yet truly taken off at that time. Even during prime time, many cinemas relied on showing "art films" to attract audiences. As a time traveler, although I couldn't write scripts, it wasn't difficult to find some good screenwriters and a good director team.

When the time comes, I can give them some ideas and let them write, and it should be no problem for me to provide guidance.

"Jiang Kun, how about this? First of all, killing Babi is now imperative. No matter what, I have already signed a military order in front of Jiang Tiansheng. So I must kill Babi, but he owes you 20 million, and I can't let you lose this 20 million in vain."

Cheng Yaodong smiled and said.

"After I defeat Babi and successfully take over his business, I'll compensate you with the 20 million. However, you know I'm financially limited right now. Although this hotel I just took over looks luxurious, it's actually just an empty shell and requires a lot of capital to operate. So, I'll give you this 20 million as compensation, which is considered the purchase of your film studio. How do you think?"

"Twenty million to buy my film studio?"

After hearing this, Liang Kun touched his chin and started to think about it.

The film studio is worth about three or four million. Taking into account the 20 million that Ba Bi owes him, it is equivalent to paying the entire film studio's money.

Although there was a loss of three or four million, what Cheng Yaodong said was right. Now it was time to force the issue and to kill Babi no matter what.

If Cheng Yaodong really kills Babi, he will take over Babi's place and become the leader.

He and Cheng Yaodong acted in disharmony in front of Jiang Tiansheng, and Jiang Tiansheng might want Cheng Yaodong to control him.

At that time, the two of them will pretend to do something, which will not only make Jiang Tiansheng let down his guard, but there may also be a chance for them to cooperate with Cheng Yaodong in the future to kill Jiang Tiansheng in one fell swoop.

Once Jiang Tiansheng dies, who else in the entire Hongxing is qualified to be the leader except himself?

Liang Kun looked at Cheng Yaodong and said.

"Adong, what do you think of what Jiang Tiansheng said to you today?"

After hearing this, Cheng Yaodong sneered and said.

"I thought he was just talking in his sleep! I'm not a fool, how could I possibly believe his nonsense? If I did, I wouldn't have put on such a show with you in front of Jiang Tiansheng today."

After hearing this, Liang Kun smiled and said, "Oh, I find that you are really getting more and more handsome, Dong. Why don't you change your name to Liangzai Dong? You are much more handsome than me. So, are you going to buy my film studio and become the male lead yourself?"

"Haha, don't make fun of me, Liang Kun. This film studio will still need some performances. If Jiang Tiansheng feels at ease, then things will be better for you and me."

After hearing what Liang Kun said, Cheng Yaodong naturally knew that he had agreed.

"Don't worry, I'll put on a show for Jiang Tiansheng. Damn, I'm so sickened just thinking about his hypocritical face. I'm going to kill him sooner or later."

Cheng Yaodong smiled and said.

"Okay, if you can kill him, I'll choose you as the leader first."

"Hey, Adong, do you have the confidence to kill Babi? Do you need my help? Although Babi doesn't have any special skills, he's still quite good at fighting and is very afraid of death. I guess he needs dozens of his men to guard the door even when he sleeps."

After hearing this, Cheng Yaodong shook his head and said.

"I have a way to deal with Babi, so you don't have to worry about that. Oh, and you've been in Mong Kok for so many years, do you know any good locksmiths?"

"Locksmith?"

Seeing Liang Kun's puzzled look, Cheng Yaodong pointed to a safe on the side that was taller than a person.

"This thing was left by Liu Yaozu. I've found many locksmiths but none of them could fix it."

"Holy crap! What a huge treasure chest!"

Liang Kun walked to the safe and said in surprise.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I'll call the Lock King over tomorrow morning."

"Lock King?"

"The King of Lockpicking! They say he can open an entire building with just a branch!"

"so smart?!"

"Hey, this guy's been to the police station over a dozen times a year, and he never changes his ways. But he's got some real skills. I'll have him report to you tomorrow morning."
