Chapter 169

"Hahaha~~~ Mr. Ni, nice to meet you!"

As soon as Director Guan Zu entered the private room, he was overly enthusiastic, walked quickly to Ni Ming, and shook hands tightly.

Ni Ming: "…………"

I don't know why, but I always feel that Director Guan Zu's words seem to be scolding people.

But looking at Director Guan Zu's respectful and enthusiastic gaze, it doesn't seem fake.

Ni Ming (harmonized translated name) is 43 years old, tall and thin, wearing glasses, and a gray suit makes him look refined.

Ni Ming shook Director Guan Zu's hand: "Councilor Director Guan, I've heard of your affairs for a long time, and I finally met you today."

In his view, Director Guan Zu is really too young, and his appearance is very high, refined, and at first glance, he is election material. Standing out can make people have three points of good feelings.

Getting votes is a slaughter.

Because both sides are not familiar, the first half of the meal is basically nonsense, you blow me, I blow you.

Director Guan Zu knew Ni Ming's identity from A-Hua's report: a senior barrister, has a law firm, and established the Republican Party in 1990, which then grew rapidly, gathering most of the "elite figures."

Obviously, this guy is a British dog!

But don't be anxious,

probe his tone first.

Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere finally arrived, and they began to discuss major events.

Ni Ming said: "Councilor Director Guan, you must have seen the notice of this Legislative Councilor election issued by the government, right?"

Director Guan Zu slapped the table!

*Bang~~*

Scared Ni Ming a lot.

"Naturally, I know!"

Director Guan Zu was surprised, "After I saw it, I suddenly felt... I can also run for election! Mr. Ni, don't you think so? I have so many citizens supporting me. Last time I ran for District Councilor, 10,000 voters supported me. This time I can add Shantou Street, and others. I have 12,000 voters!"

"So I thought, if I run for Legislative Councilor, wouldn't it be very easy?"

Ni Ming: "…………"

No, this guy actually wants to run for Legislative Councilor too?

I came this time just because I saw that he got 10,000 votes in the last District Councilor election, so I thought about inviting him to help the Republican Party get votes.

As a result, he actually wants to run himself!

This is completely contrary to Ni Ming's idea!

No, must hit him!

"Ahem..."

Ni Ming coughed and said to Director Guan Zu: "Councilor Director Guan, I think you might have thought wrong... For obtaining the Legislative Councilor candidate qualification, I think Councilor Director Guan might still be lacking something?"

"Lacking something?" Director Guan Zu followed the snake up the stick: "Lacking what? Sorry, Mr. Ni, I don't know much about these, I don't know if Mr. Ni can point it out for me?"

To be honest, Director Guan Zu really doesn't know, so he wants to know the details from this idiot's mouth.

Ni Ming put on airs: "First of all, your identity problem, triad background..."

Director Guan Zu looked surprised: "But I am a District Councilor, a public official of the Hong Kong government. This point proves that my identity is fine."

Ni Ming was speechless.

Director Guan Zu is indeed right. Since he has become a public official, it makes no sense that he cannot run for Legislative Councilor.

Ni Ming thought about it and said: "The Legislative Council is still a bit different from the government. It will be stricter. Think about it, legislation is legislation, naturally it is about the law. If a gangster becomes a Legislative Councilor, the Legislative Council's face won't look good either."

"So, it's hard for you to get the nod from the Legislative Council Election Committee and get the candidate qualification!"

Director Guan Zu frowned: "Mr. Ni means that it is mainly the Election Committee, right?"

Ni Ming nodded: "That's right."

Director Guan Zu looked at Ni Ming: "Mr. Ni, as the saying goes, friends are friends. I ate and drank with you, so we are friends now... I don't know if Mr. Ni can do me a favor and introduce me to the people on the Election Committee."

Ni Ming: "…………"

Felt awkward.

I am a senior barrister, a person who plays with words, how come I am being led by Director Guan Zu today?

Could it be that the people who talked to me before were all old foxes?

And Director Guan Zu is straightforward, making me uncomfortable?

Ni Ming said impolitely: "Councilor Director Guan, I don't think there's any need to introduce the Legislative Election Committee. You definitely don't have this qualification."

Director Guan Zu was very serious: "If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?"

Ni Ming had a headache and hurriedly said: "Councilor Director Guan, I called you here today to invite you to join our Republican Party."

Director Guan Zu's eyes lit up: "Republican Party... forgive my ignorance, I have never heard of it before, but I think there must be many big figures worth making friends with inside."

Ni Ming breathed a sigh of relief and put on airs again: "That's right, inside the Republican Party, there are indeed elite figures from all walks of life, billionaires, legal, financial... and other big figures with very high status."

Director Guan Zu suddenly said: "Can they help me solve the candidate qualification problem?"

*Pfft~~*

Ni Ming just took a sip of wine and sprayed it directly.

He couldn't help but feel irritable in his heart: Are you done yet? You are obsessed with Legislative Councilor!

In order to keep Director Guan Zu, this big voter, Ni Ming could only endure his displeasure and patiently said: "They cannot influence the Election Committee, but they are all elites from all walks of life, social celebrities. Except for those tycoons, they are the most top-tier in Hong Kong..."

"For example, Mr. Situ is the president of the Education Professional Personnel Association..."

"And Mr. Wen, president of the Taiping Mountain Association..."

"Mr. Li, chairman of the Kwai Tsing District Council..."

"As long as you join our Republican Party, doing business will be smooth sailing."

Ni Ming thought to himself, I've thrown out this temptation, let's see if you are moved.

Looking at Director Guan Zu's series of business behaviors, he must be a person who loves money. Who doesn't love money? They must all love money very much.

So Ni Ming put on airs, waiting for Director Guan Zu to bow down and join the Republican Party.

Unfortunately,

he didn't know at all that Director Guan Zu was cheating, and his business logic was not the same path as theirs at all.

If you have a support rate, you have everything.

The masses are everything.

What political and business celebrities, they are useless to Director Guan Zu.

"I refuse!"

Director Guan Zu's words directly broke Ni Ming's posture.

"You refuse?"

"No, how can you refuse?"

Ni Ming said incredulously.

Director Guan Zu said: "Joining you, I don't have any benefits. If I'm not mistaken, you are so impatient to have me join because you want to get my support for you in the Wanchai area, right?"

"With the dense population of Wanchai, it is bound to be able to take two direct election councilor seats in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island (Wanchai, North Point, etc.) at once."

"You have a good plan, wanting benefits from me, but not giving me benefits!"

Director Guan Zu sneered.

Ni Ming cursed in his heart: So this Director Guan Zu has already seen through his purpose. Damn, he was just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

Ni Ming admitted that he still underestimated this person who came from the bottom of society and didn't go to college.

Sure enough, those who can rise cannot be underestimated.

Ni Ming cursed while laughing on the surface: "Oh, Councilor Director Guan, you think too much. Joining us is very beneficial to you..."

"You help us this time, and next time, we will push you to be a Legislative Councilor!"

When Director Guan Zu heard this, he sneered.

Do you want to be A-Le too?

But... Director Guan Zu hasn't thought about how to deal with the relationship with this group of trash yet. Some things need to be thought through.

Also, since there is a British faction, is there a left-wing faction?

Where are the left-wing people?

Who are they? Will they contact me?

Director Guan Zu said: "Sorry, Mr. Ni, I need to consider it."

Ni Ming smiled: "Okay, no rush, we are waiting for Mr. Director Guan's reply."

At this time, the meal was almost finished, and neither of them had the mood to continue eating, so they decided to end the meal and leave.

At the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel, Ni Ming shook hands with Director Guan Zu: "Mr. Director Guan, our Republican Party is very much looking forward to your joining. It will definitely be a very good supplement to us, and it will also be very beneficial to Mr. Director Guan's business."

Director Guan Zu shook hands, smiling: "I will consider it seriously."

Not far away,

a newspaper reporter was squatting for news, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly pressed the shutter.

*Ka ka ka~~~~~*

Took a few photos.

An unexpected joy.

Why did this Republican Party chairman meet with Director Guan Zu?

Needless to say, it must be for the Legislative Councilor seat.

……

!.

And on the other side,

Situ Situ Jie was also at the Peninsula Hotel, inviting Charles, the vice-chairman of the Legislative Council Election Committee, to dinner.

In order to get the intelligence on the arms case from Director Guan Zu early, Situ Situ Jie's enthusiasm was very high.

After three rounds of drinks and a harmonious atmosphere, Situ Situ Jie finally stated the purpose of this visit.

"Mr. Charles, I have a friend who wants to run for Legislative Councilor, but doesn't know how to get this candidate qualification..."

Charles's eyes lit up.

He is a person who is quite greedy for money, thinking that there are 6 years left, and he wants to make as much money as possible to return to his hometown.

"Does this friend of yours have money?"

It's just that direct!

"Hahaha~~~" Situ Situ Jie laughed loudly. When it comes to money, it's easy to talk, "Mr. Charles, please rest assured, my friend is not short of money."

Charles was finally happy: "No problem, you can introduce him to me... Who is he?"

Situ Situ Jie whispered: "This friend of mine is a District Councilor in Hong Kong Island, named Director Guan Zu. He has a somewhat awkward identity, he is from a triad background, so he needs Mr. Charles to help see if there is a chance."

Triad background?

Charles frowned, feeling it was a bit difficult to handle.

And he looked at Situ Situ Jie strangely: You, Situ Situ Jie, a high-level police officer, actually have such a deep friendship with a gangster?

Charles's expression became serious: "100,000, I'll give you the inside story."

Situ Situ Jie was surprised, what inside story is worth 100,000?

However, he still gave 100,000 happily, not feeling distressed at all, because Director Guan Zu gives money even more happily!

Charles took the money and then said seriously: "This direct election is unusual, it is equivalent to a game between two countries, our superiors absolutely do not allow unexpected factors to join..."

"I have heard some rumors about this Director Guan Zu. He has a lot of prestige in Causeway Bay. I remember the last District Councilor election, he got more than 10,000 votes, 10 times more than others."

"This kind of person, if he is not one of our own, the superiors will not give him the qualification to run, even if I am the vice-chairman of the Election Committee, it won't work."

However, this piece of news is very important to Situ Situ Jie and Director Guan Zu.

Situ Situ Jie: "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Charles."

This person really does things for money!

If it were an ordinary greedy guy, he would probably agree first, then hang him slowly, and collect money slowly.

But Charles didn't.

Situ Situ Jie couldn't help but ask: "Really no chance?"

Charles stretched out 1 finger: "100,000!"

Give it!

Situ Situ Jie was generous.

Charles said: "I just said it's a game between two countries, so naturally it leans in this direction... Either he defects to us, or he defects to the other side, to get the qualification. As for how to defect, let him think about it himself."

Situ Situ Jie's eyes lit up.

That's right, why didn't I think of this?

Situ Situ Jie couldn't help but ask another question: "If someone is not a gangster, runs a school, and has prestige, can he get the qualification to run?"

Charles: "This question is 50,000."

Situ Situ Jie had a toothache, he really loves money!

Give it!

Charles took the money and answered: "The answer is yes, but you have to pay, pay for things to get done."

In a meal, Situ Situ Jie got what he wanted.

And Charles also got money.

Both sides were very happy.

……

……

On the other side,

Grand Hyatt Hotel.

At this time, Gao Qiu met with the TV program director of ATV and chatted about the idea of the "Knowledge Cup & Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" program.

Before coming, Director Guan Zu and Gao Qiu chatted again and felt that it was too simple to get 1 million for 15 knowledge questions covering 5,000 years of history, so they changed it to 100,000. The annual final is 1 million, catering to the title of Millionaire.

After the program director heard it, he felt very fresh.

And he also realized the amazing creativity of the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" program.

He immediately decided: "Our TV station wants the copyright of this program!"

However, he also said impolitely: "As for the Knowledge Cup, I suggest it can be changed. Don't limit it to '5,000 Years of History', you can use more extensive knowledge!"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Qiu flatly refused: "No! This 'Millionaire' must be matched with the Knowledge Cup."

The purpose of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is to promote the Knowledge Cup. For Director Guan Zu, the Knowledge Cup is the key point.

And you tell me not to have the Knowledge Cup?

Are you kidding?

Director Guan Zu didn't care about the money from this "Millionaire" at all.

The program director directly put on a face when he heard this: "It's useless if you don't agree. Now I already know this idea, now this 'Millionaire' is our ATV's... If you want to sue me, I'll accompany you!"

That's right, the program director started to be greedy.

He is preparing to rob.

Even if the other party wants to sue, ATV is not afraid. Go to court, drag it out, and how can Gao Qiu prove that this "Millionaire" is his idea?

"Situ Jie Situ Jie Situ Jie~~~~"

The program director is not the first time to rob a program like this.

Unfortunately,

he met a different opponent today.

"Sue you?"

Gao Qiu sneered, "Are you stupid? What kind of people do you think we are? We are Hong Xing gangsters. Believe it or not, I'll bring people to your house and burn it down!"

Schrödinger's identity!

In some states, I am a gangster.

In some states, I am a councilor, a legitimate businessman.

Program director: "…………"

The state of *Situ Jie Situ Jie Situ Jie* was interrupted.

Damn!

Forgot about this.

"Ahem~~~"

The program director laughed awkwardly.

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I think this 'Knowledge Cup' and this 'Millionaire' are very matched, a perfect match!"

It's just a job, why play with your life, right!
