Chapter 125: 121 Guan Zu decides life and death with one word

A new day, early in the morning,

Fei Quan brought his lackey Jun Zai to Causeway Bay!

Wanting to join Guan Zu's sect.

"I heard Guan Zu likes to eat at Kowloon Ice Room."

"We'll wait for him there."

Soon, Fei Quan and Jun Zai arrived at Kowloon Ice Room.

"Boss, what would you like to eat?"

Nine-Patterned Dragon walked over, limping, holding a pen and an order pad.

It didn't matter to Fei Quan what he ate, and he wasn't in the mood: "Serve two of your shop's signature rice dishes."

Nine-Patterned Dragon said: "Then it'll be beef brisket stewed with radish over rice. The weather has turned cold recently; in winter, radish is better than ginseng, just right for nourishment."

"That'll do."

Fei Quan picked up a newspaper and started reading.

He had taken this newspaper from a newsstand on Xie Fei Road, just taking it without paying.

Hoodlums buying things, and still needing money?

Wouldn't I be a hoodlum in vain?!

The front-page news of the newspaper was: Cheng Long's latest masterpiece "Operation Condor" will be officially released in cinemas on February 7th...

There was other news, but Fei Quan had no interest in it; it wasn't as good as reading "Dragon, Tiger, Leopard."

Finally, he saw a piece of news: "Sky-high reward of 100,000, just to find a book!"

Fei Quan glanced at it, no interest.

Wait...

Is it a reward from Five-Star Property Company? Is it Guan Zu?

Fei Quan finally had some interest, looked carefully, and the book rewarded was "Twenty-Four Histories," needing the full set, and it had to be the '77 edition.

Fei Quan: "???"

Confused, what is this Guan Zu doing? 100,000 to reward a book?

Really full and nothing to do.

Just like that, Fei Quan and Jun Zai waited and waited in Kowloon Ice Room......

One hour......

Two hours......

And then waited until noon.

Nine-Patterned Dragon and Ah Kang couldn't help but be curious, whispering: "These two guys look like arrogant people, staying here for so long, could they be planning to cause trouble?"

"Should we call Five-Star Property and have them come over?"

"Don't, let's watch for now."

At this time,

Clang~~~

The door of Kowloon Ice Room opened.

Guan Zu, Li Jie, and Ah Xing walked in.

"Brother Zu!"

Nine-Patterned Dragon and Ah Kang became enthusiastic instantly. Over the past few months, both sides could be considered friends, and the relationship was good.

Fei Quan heard the voice, looked up sharply, and sure enough, saw Guan Zu, feeling overjoyed.

Finally waited!

Fei Quan hurried to stand up, walked over quickly, bowed respectfully: "Brother Zu!"

Guan Zu frowned looking at Fei Quan: "Aren't you Fei Quan from yesterday? What are you doing here?"

Fei Quan hurried to say: "Brother Zu, I want to follow you!"

Follow me?

Guan Zu looked at Fei Quan with a strange expression.

You, a small hoodlum, follow me?

Are you qualified?

Guan Zu shook his head and refused: "You are a person from Hong Le. To defect, do you think Brother Piao will agree?"

Fei Quan flattered: "With Brother Zu's strength, Brother Piao will definitely agree."

Guan Zu scoffed upon hearing this.

"Sorry, I don't take lackeys now."

"Why?" Fei Quan was anxious.

Guan Zu said: "Then tell me, why should I take you?"

Fei Quan hurried to promote himself: "I can expand your territory for you, Brother Zu... I've looked into it, it's been so long, your territory, Brother Zu, has never expanded, I can help you fight."

"Haha~~~"

Whether it was Guan Zu or Ah Xing, they couldn't help but laugh.

Guan Zu patted Fei Quan on the shoulder: "Are you still living in the last ten or twenty years? What era is it now? It's the 90s. Every society is thinking about either washing clean and going ashore, or going abroad to avoid disaster. You're still thinking about fighting and killing?"

"A person like you was born in the wrong era. If it were the 70s or 80s, you might have been able to fight for a big brother's position. As for now, give up this idea. Honestly be your small Four-Nine and you'll have a good ending, otherwise, take a hearse......"

After Guan Zu finished speaking, he took Li Jie and Ah Xing and found a seat.

Fei Quan: "............"

Being rejected by Guan Zu, he felt very embarrassed, and a fire rose in his heart.

"Jun Zai, let's go!"

He left Kowloon Ice Room quickly.

Nine-Patterned Dragon looked at his departing back, holding a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Guan Zu: "Brother Zu, I saw that brat just now, when he left, he seemed to be holding a grudge against you."

"Holding a grudge against me?" Guan Zu smiled lightly; it wasn't impossible.

This Fei Quan had great ambition, just like that Mike.

That Mike, after going undercover into Red Star, killed all the way, killed all the hall masters, and finally wanted to kill Brother Tian and occupy Red Star. In the end, he couldn't beat the old hand Brother Tian and was killed by Brother Tian. (Movie "The Tricky Master")

If Fei Quan were allowed to stay in Hong Le for a long time, he would probably follow the same path as Mike.

Guan Zu didn't want to watch such a vicious person grow, fearing he would bring trouble to Causeway Bay.

So he picked up the phone and dialed Brother Piao's number.

"Brother Piao, good noon."

"Brother Zu, what's the matter?" After one clash yesterday, Brother Piao was completely convinced, changing directly from "Ah Zu" to "Brother Zu."

"There is something. Just now, your subordinate Fei Quan ran to Causeway Bay, saying he wanted to follow me, saying you were old, and also saying he could help me fight down Hong Le's territory."

"What?!"

Brother Piao, on the other end of the phone, jumped up on the spot in anger.

On Fei Quan's side, he left Kowloon Ice Room and got into the car.

"Boom~~~"

He slapped the steering wheel wildly, his expression finally unable to hold back, full of anger.

He had a heart full of enthusiasm to join Hong Xing and fight the world for Guan Zu, but he didn't expect to be rejected!

This was a hard slap in his face!

"Ring ring ring~~~"

The person in charge, Brother Piao, called.

"Hey, Brother Piao!" Fei Quan said, suppressing his anger.

"Fei Quan, where are you? Come back quickly, there's something to arrange for you." Brother Piao smiled.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Fei Quan drove the car, speeding towards Xie Fei Road.

10-plus minutes,

Fei Quan knocked on the door of Brother Piao's office.

"Come in!"

Brother Piao, seeing Fei Quan, showed a happy look: "Fei Quan, come come come~~"

"I saw your performance yesterday, and I suddenly discovered that our society really lacks some sharpness..."

"Now there's a task for you. That Sang Bo smashed Brother De's (Uncle De) venue last night. Go kill him, and when you come back, I'll promote you to Red Pole!"

Fei Quan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Yes! Brother Piao!"

"I'll go do it immediately!"

Fei Quan turned and left, preparing to assemble his men.

Brother Piao looked at his back, showing a cold smile. His lackey had already called just now; this Fei Quan really did come from Causeway Bay.

Fei Quan, oh Fei Quan, since you are disloyal to me!

Then there's no need for me to keep you. Brother Piao made a call, asking his confidant to quietly reveal the news to Sang Bo.

Guan Zu, after eating in Kowloon Ice Room, returned to the boxing gym,

Gao Qiu also came.

"Brother Zu, about the 'Twenty-Four Histories' matter, I need to report to you......"

Then he talked about the "Twenty-Four Histories," saying it was banned, not published at all, and had reading barriers, with over 20 million words, making it unsuitable for printing.

Therefore, this plan could only be canceled and replaced with other books.

At this time,

A lively sound came from downstairs.

"Brother Jin, I heard you're in love, is it true?"

!.

"Brother Jin, who is the sister-in-law?"

Not long after, Guan Zu saw Gao Jin with a cold face, bringing two directors, Wu Sen and Lin Dong, knocking and walking into Guan Zu's office.

Today, Gao Jin brought the two directors over to let Guan Zu see the full film of "The New World."

"Brother Zu~~"

Gao Jin looked at Guan Zu, his eyes full of resentment.

Brother Zu, it was you, with your big mouth shouting everywhere that I was in love, even on the road I met quite a few neighbors running over to gossip.

Guan Zu laughed awkwardly: "You're here, Ah Qiu, just right, you're here, the movie 'The New World' is filmed, let's watch it together."

"Good."

Gao Qiu was also very curious about this movie, not knowing what it would be like.

Soon,

Top floor, screening room.

A group of people sat in the screening room, looking at the projection screen.

The movie started with the company logo, Five-Star Film Company.

Next, the camera came to an abandoned warehouse, a group of people wearing suits, looking like urban white-collar workers, were in the warehouse. Sitting there was Li Zicheng in a suit, and a traitor with a broken head and bound. Interrogating the traitor, finally, it was the most classic scene in "The New World" — pouring cement on the traitor, putting him in a cement barrel, and throwing him into the sea.

Next was the society leader being hit by a car and killed, the power struggle of the society, Li Zicheng's undercover crisis, Ding Qing being killed, Li Zicheng's blackening, killing everyone, and ascending to the position of leader......

Up to here,

The movie screening ended.

Guan Zu felt very satisfied after watching it.

The two directors, Wu Sen and Lin Dong, basically followed Guan Zu's requirements and carried out style constraints; romantic where it should be romantic, cruel where it should be cruel, cool where it should be cool.

The camera style of the whole movie had a certain difference from the camera styles in the current movie market, feeling like it wasn't a product of the same era.

The gap between the two sides was as obvious as the gap between Cheng Long's "Drunken Master" and "Spiritual Kung Fu" type movies and "Who Am I" and "Rush Hour."

Most importantly......

These suits, when filmed, were very handsome, very good!

Watching the whole movie, all the bosses and lackeys were tall, handsome men in black suits... all selected by Guan Zu from Hong Xing lackeys with good images, sent over to play extras.

The only thing a bit awkward was......

The advertisements made Guan Zu's scalp tingle; basically, they followed his requirements, an advertisement every 5 minutes!

Guan Zu said: "Two directors, this advertisement, can delete some......"

Directors Wu Sen and Lin Dong were overjoyed upon hearing this.

They had long been unable to stand such movie advertisements.

Director Wu Sen said actively: "Boss, which ones do you want to delete?"

Guan Zu said: "Delete some unreasonable ones... for example, that advertisement at the beginning of the movie, the line said by the lackey interrogating: 'This is Jinba men's suit, so handsome, what a pity to destroy it, take it off before interrogating,' this feels unreasonable, delete it......"

Directors Wu Sen and Lin Dong were happy.

This is good.

Guan Zu said again: "Also, when Ding Qing is pushed into the elevator, he should be panicked, so that part 'Don't hit, my suit is very expensive (omitted 100 words of lines)...' seems unreasonable... delete it."

"Okay, okay."

The two directors Wu Sen and Lin Dong were even happier.

However,

Guan Zu said again: "After deleting, need to add a part... after Ding Qing finishes fighting, dripping with blood out of the elevator, curse: 'I wear Jinba men's suit, you wear trash suits, humph, fighting with me?'"

Directors Wu Sen and Lin Dong: "............"

Fuck, happy too early!

Guan Zu made 10 more suggestions, deleting 12 in total, but also needing to re-shoot 8.

Directors Wu Sen and Lin Dong had a headache.

You're not deleting, you're replacing!

However, after replacing, it was indeed much better.

Guan Zu said again: "Also, Chinese New Year is in half a month, give you 10 days, cut it all out... In addition, the trailer must also be made as soon as possible, I'm preparing to put it on TV stations."

The two directors nodded: "Okay."

Guan Zu also instructed Gao Jin: "Remember to contact the cinema circuit, discuss the release... I looked at this year's Spring Festival, there are three special movies, one is 'Operation Condor,' Golden Harvest circuit, and the other is 'The Tricky Master,' this is the Xiang family's, they don't have a circuit."

"Golden Harvest circuit will definitely only show their own movies... so you have to strive for Shaw Brothers circuit, and Golden Princess, New Treasure circuit, these two circuits we have to compete with the Xiang family's 'The Tricky Master'."

Currently, the situation of Hong Kong cinema circuits is: Shaw Brothers (Boss Shao) circuit is declining, Golden Harvest circuit is maintaining (Cheng Long's boss's company), Golden Princess (Boss Lei) is expanding, New Treasure circuit is expanding (no ability to produce movies).

So, "The New World" can strive for Shaw Brothers circuit, Golden Princess circuit, New Treasure circuit.

And compete with "Operation Condor" and "The Tricky Master."

Guan Zu said again: "After talking about the circuit, remember to go to some shopping malls, set up clothing stores, we are going to take the middle and high-end brand route."

Gao Jin noted them down one by one.

Then left quickly.

Suddenly, things increased again.

So busy!

Evening,

Guan Zu finished processing the documents, went downstairs, and got into the car.

Preparing to go back to find Ruan Mei for a date.

Now that her illness is cured, Guan Zu is preparing to advance it tonight, completely take her, and head to the Pure Land.

Slurp~~~~

White Swan, I'm coming!

"Ah Mei,"

Guan Zu called Ruan Mei.

"I recently raised a cat, it can do backflips......"

"Come to my house later......"

"Cooking? Good, then let's go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables together......"

After Guan Zu finished the call, he showed a hehehe smile.

Ah Xing, who was driving, saw Guan Zu like this through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but say: "Brother Zu, you look very lecherous like this~~~ one look and I know you're not thinking about anything good."

Boom~~~

Was given a knock on the head by Guan Zu: "Lecherous your head!"

Ah Xing: "............"

I was wrong, shouldn't have said that to the boss.

Not long after, the car drove downstairs to Ruan Mei's house.

Guan Zu got out of the car and waved: "You two get lost......"

Ah Xing also got out of the car at this time: "Hehe, I made an appointment with Ah Min to go shopping."

Xiao Fu: "???"

Terrible, now only I am a single dog.

Wait, Li Jie is also a single dog... go find Li Jie.

Not long after,

Tap tap tap~~~~

Guan Zu saw Ruan Mei happily coming downstairs.

"Brother Zu~~~"

Guan Zu looked at Ruan Mei's fair skin, that beautiful face......

Slurp~~~

No, don't want to buy vegetables, want to take her home directly to watch the cat do backflips.
