Chapter 97: East Star Rise, Chaos "Okay, let's do as you say." With Lin Zehao's approval, Hongxing quickly reorganized its industries, prepared the contract, and faxed it to Li Wenbin for inspection. After finding no problems, both parties signed their names. "Mr. Jiang is indeed a quick-witted person. This way, I have lived up to his trust." After receiving the benefits, Lin Zehao stood up, said a few polite words, and prepared to leave. Now that he had gotten the benefits, he had no interest in talking nonsense with the other party anymore. Jiang Tiansheng could only force a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, I need to find a way to raise money as soon as possible, so I'm sorry I can't see you off." "Tian Yang, please see Lin Sheng off for me." This time, Jiang Tiansheng lost both face and money. The only benefit is that it ensures that Hung Hing remains among the four major social groups in Hong Kong Island.
Within a week, the entire Hong Kong community will know that Hung Hing has bowed its head to Wei Longhao and admitted its mistake by paying the money. Nowadays, the bigger the society is and the more complex its personnel composition is, it is impossible to conceal such things. In this way, Hongxing will definitely become the object of everyone's ridicule, and even Hongxing's own "four-nine boys" will feel extremely ashamed and aggrieved. After all, the reason they join big societies is to have a loud and impressive reputation so that people will look at them with fear wherever they go. Now that Hongxing has bowed its head, it can no longer be so powerful even if it wants to. However, for the top leaders of the Hung Hing society, Jiang Tiansheng's actions preserved Hung Hing's current status. One’s own family knows one’s own business. Once Hung Hing goes to war with Wo Shing Wo, it will not have much chance of winning. Whether they win or lose, they will definitely fall out of the four major societies afterwards. Although the current operation is a bit like a slow death, it is better than being defeated by Wei Longhao and dying instantly. After all, as long as the status quo is maintained, those of them who are the big brothers will make money. Moreover, after this incident, Jiang Tiansheng has regained the dominant position within Hongxing. Compared with Jiang Tianyang who "turned against" the group right away, he is obviously more worthy of the group's trust. Jiang Tianyang kept sending Lin Zehao to the Hutou Mercedes-Benz, during which time he kept saying nice things to him and kept a very humble attitude. It was not until Lin Zehao got into the car that he handed him a business card and said, "If you like to find a legitimate business, we will definitely have a chance to cooperate in the future." Jiang Tianyang took the business card with both hands, and immediately felt like he had found a treasure. He quickly said, "Mr. Lin, thank you for your support. Don't worry, if the opportunity is right, I will definitely quit Hongxing and follow you to do business properly." Lin Zehao smiled and said meaningfully: "In fact, there is no conflict between the society and the legitimate business. If you can make good use of this power, that is the basis for making real money." After saying that, the car window slowly rolled up, and the Mercedes-Benz drove away with the convoy. Only Jiang Tianyang was left standing there, deep in thought. Hongxing, in which Jiang Tiansheng holds all the power, is not in Lin Zehao's interest. What he wants is a Hongxing where the two brothers fight for power and fall into division and weakness. After dealing with Hung Hing, the workers' strike was resolved by Yang Chengrong.
The sign of Wo Shing Wo, plus the back pay of previous wages, and the piles of Hong Kong dollars placed in front of the workers were simply impossible for anyone to refuse. The construction site quickly returned to normal and work began. Moreover, with sufficient wages, the workers are very motivated and would like to work around the clock. As a result, Hutchison Construction, which is fully responsible for the real estate projects of the Li & Fung Group, naturally made a fortune. Soon, the news of Hung Hing's surrender spread throughout Hong Kong Island, and unsurprisingly, it became a laughing stock in the underworld. The morale of the Hung Hing gang was low, and some of the "four-nine gang" chose to take the opportunity to switch to the East Star Gang, which was gaining momentum. For a time, there were constant conflicts between the two sides, and there were several horse-showing and gunfights. After several fights, Chen Haonan and Shan Ji from Hongxing stood out and were quickly promoted by Jiang Tiansheng, who gave them two streets as their territory. Not to be outdone, Tung Sing selected the Five Tigers of Tung Sing following the example of Sun Kee, making no secret of its ambition to replace Hung Hing! Xin Ji also issued a statement some time ago, saying that the deaths of Lin Jinghong and Axe Jun had nothing to do with Wo Shing Wo. As for the murderer, the investigation is still ongoing. The deaths of Axe Jun and Lin Jinghong left two of the five tigers of Xin Ji dead, and also made everyone see the weakness of Xin Ji. Many small and medium-sized societies with overlapping territories began to make moves, trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Although most of them ended in failure, occasional news of success would further irritate the nerves of other societies and intensify conflicts. For a time, Xinji was putting out fires everywhere, and every day small, unknown societies disappeared in the long river of history. The four major gangs in Hong Kong, Sun Kee and Hung Hing, were all caught in turmoil. The Number Gang was also ready to make a move and did a lot of things in secret. Only He Shenghe seemed to be sitting on the Diaoyutai, with no movement. However, everyone understands that the success of Hung Hing and Sun Kee is all thanks to the leader of Wo Shing Wo, Lin Zehao. No one believed that Wei Longhao would sit idly by at this time. At best, it was his arrangement so that no one could see through it. As a result, many people believe that the four major social groups in Hong Kong have been silent for many years without any major moves, and now they can no longer hold back. Many ambitious people believe that this is an opportunity to reshuffle the existing forces. With the tacit approval of some people, the fighting between Hong Kong community groups has become increasingly fierce and aggressive. More and more young people are joining clubs for various reasons. In this way, the influence of the society will be taken to a higher level! Under the instruction of Lin Zehao, He Sheng He has been developing in a low-key manner and making a fortune in silence during this period. Since Yau Tsim Mong has become a homogeneous group, he has already stood out from the crowd. If he were to stand out again at this time, he would easily be targeted by various gangs. The best strategy is to develop quietly for a while and watch the situation change. In the blink of an eye, the day of the release of "A Better Tomorrow" has arrived. Lin Zehao specially used a Shaw Brothers cinema to hold the premiere, and many celebrities and business tycoons attended. As for celebrities, popular stars such as Chan Kong-sang, Michael Hui, Sam Hui, Chung Chun-to, and Principal Tam all came to show their support.
From the business community, Lam Pak Sun of the Lai Sun Group, Shaw Brothers' Shaw Lao Liu, Golden Harvest's Zou Wenhuai, Kowloon Motor Bus's Lei family, and bosses from major banks were all present. With such a grand occasion, the audience comes to see the stars, while those who know the business come to see the connections. Everyone present was dumbfounded by Lin Zehao's terrifying network of connections! I originally thought that Wei Longhao was just an ordinary gang leader, but I didn’t expect that he has such a great influence in all walks of life! This caused some people to raise their evaluation of Lin Zehao to a higher level! Premieres were not common in Hong Kong these days, so when Lin Zehao organized it, the citizens found it fresh and enthusiastic. Coupled with the previous publicity, the popularity of "A Better Tomorrow" was very high. After the movie is over, after a series of procedures, it is the turn of the main creators to go on stage and speak. Amidst enthusiastic applause, Wu Yusen led the main actors to the stage to bow and express their gratitude. Everyone looked excited and in high spirits. Judging from the audience’s reaction just now, the quality of this movie is definitely beyond expectations. Lin Zehao sat in the middle of the first row, with Lin Jianyue sitting on his right. Wu Yusen first talked about some funny things on the set, which made the audience laugh, and then talked about the difficulties encountered during the filming, which also touched the audience's heartstrings. "In fact, the main reason I was able to make this movie is to thank Mr. Lin for writing such a good script and for his unconditional trust in me." "Mr. Lin, thank you very much." After Wu Yusen finished speaking, he bowed fifty degrees to Lin Zehao in the audience, and the audience burst into applause. Lin Zehao, who was sitting in the audience, had a decent smile on his face and nodded slightly, looking very imposing. This scene caused the reporters in the audience to frantically press the shutter buttons of their cameras. In a short time, countless films were murdered. Especially the female reporters, almost all of them pointed their cameras at Lin Zehao, and rarely took pictures of the stars on the stage. For them, they are already tired of seeing celebrities, not to mention that Lin Zehao's looks are second to none even in the entertainment industry full of handsome men and beautiful women. "He is the big boss of Hutchison Entertainment. He is so handsome. Compared with him, Chow Yun-fat is not good-looking at all. I heard that he is only 20 years old. Most importantly, he is still single..." "Don't be such a fangirl. For a guy like him, there are so many girls chasing him from Central to Shau Kei Wan. It's not your turn. If it were me, I would be almost there..." (End of this chapter)
