Chapter 277

Once the news came out, all of Hong Kong was shocked!

"What? 500 million?"

"Isn't that too exaggerated?"

"How did he earn 500 million?"

"Who is this person?"

From Mong Kok to Tuen Mun, from Yuen Long to Tseung Kwan O, from Wan Chai to Deep Water Bay, in bustling markets and thousands of households, everywhere was filled with discussion.

The word "shocked" was written on everyone's face.

"500 million, what a huge move, what huge luck!"

"Who on earth is it?"

"The legendary Gambling God?"

And soon, Wen Huixin unveiled the mysterious Gambling God.

"I believe everyone must be very curious about the identity of this Gambling God... According to news obtained by our station from reliable channels, this 'Gambling God' is a well-known figure in our Hong Kong—Mr. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu."

"That's right, it is Mr. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, who acquired the Mingxin Hospital and is the boss of the Five Star Group some time ago. He has always been famous for his enthusiasm for public welfare and pleading for the people, and now he has become a 'Gambling God,' which is truly unexpected."

At this moment,

Many people in Hong Kong were stunned.

"What? It's that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu?!"

"It's him again!"

At this time,

Wu Ying was eating with his mother; his stepfather was now fawning over him, which made Wu Ying very satisfied.

Then......

He saw the news report and broke down on the spot.

He hurriedly called Gao Gang, whom he was most familiar with; he didn't dare call Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, so he could only call Gao Gang.

"Hey, Ah Gang, you went to Macau with Brother Zu, how much money did you win gambling? Tell me, tell me, I beg you, tell me you didn't earn much~~~ wuwuwu~~~"

"Not much, just over 5 million. Brother Zu said this was Goddess Mazu's instruction, and we couldn't participate too much."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had also considered this: if he let Gao Gang and the others follow the bets, earning tens of millions was certainly possible, but with too much money, other brothers would definitely have thoughts; one shouldn't worry about scarcity but about inequality.

So he let everyone stop after earning over 1 million each.

"Over 5 million...... eh? So little?"

Wu Ying was stunned for a moment.

Over 5 million was indeed not much; at the end of 1990, Wu Ying's dividend was over 10 million, true brothers sharing money.

There would be more in the future!

However,

Little or not, it was still unpleasant!

"Ahhh~~ Why didn't you bring me along? Seeing you guys earn money is more painful than killing me!"

Wu Ying let out a pig-like scream over the phone.

Gao Gang was full of black lines.

Childish ghost!

And at this time, over at ATV, their news also reported another explosive piece of news.

"According to reliable sources, this time Mr. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu went to Macau because he wanted to acquire 8% of ATV's shares from Boss He."

"The transaction has now been completed, which means Mr. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is already the third-largest shareholder of Asia Television. The first and second shareholders are Mr. Lin and Mr. Zheng, holding 46% of the shares respectively."

Once this news came out,

All Hong Kong citizens felt a bit dumbfounded.

What?

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu became an ATV shareholder?

Outrageous!

"As expected of Brother Zu, he's a dragon crossing the river even when he gets to Macau!"

Over at Five Star Group,

Ah Wah just got the news, but Ah Wah had long known about the acquisition of ATV shares, and this trip to Macau was naturally a sure thing, not worth being proud of.

On the contrary, winning 500 million in the casino was a bit unexpected.

"Brother Zu will be back tomorrow."

"The identity of that assassin and the mastermind behind the scenes must be found out tonight."

That assassin (Zhang Chi) driving so openly to Causeway Bay to circle around was simply like a child holding gold in a busy market, tired of living.

If Ah Wah hadn't wanted to find out who was behind him, he would have already sent him to fill the sea.

Currently, he had followed him a few times but hadn't found who the superior was.

At assassin Zhang Chi's home,

The TV was on, talking about the news, and a handsome photo was hanging on the wall; it was his assassination target, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh——

He held a small knife, constantly attacking and moving in the living room; every move was sharp, concise, and filled with murderous intent.

Then......

The TV news was broadcasting Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's news,

"Bang~~~"

Watching the news, he only then learned that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had gone to Macau.

As a cold-blooded assassin, he almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

I worked hard waiting for two days, and you ran off to Macau?

Doesn't that mean I made a wasted trip?

If he weren't a mute, he would probably have cursed for half an hour.

On the other side,

Hong Wengang also watched until he almost had a myocardial infarction.

Cheung Kong Group,

Boss Li hadn't left work yet and was still busy in the office; his eldest son had a fever today and didn't come to work, so he needed to be busy.

His second son had been doing charity work in North Point for the past two days, which was clearly a lot of progress.

At this time,

The secretary walked in and reported Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's news to him.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was a person Boss Li paid close attention to, so as long as there was a major move, the secretary needed to report it to him.

"ATV shares?"

Boss Li's expression suddenly tightened.

He knew Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had a lot of support, and now he wanted to acquire ATV; what was he preparing to do?

Media + citizen support......

Boss Li felt Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was playing a very big game.

"Keep paying attention!"

A new day, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the others took the boat and returned to the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal.

"Finally back!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu held Sister Ruan Mei, his feet landed on Hong Kong soil, and he sighed.

This trip, 500 million, ATV shares, could be considered a complete success!

When everyone exited the terminal and arrived outside,

"Mr. Guan is out!"

"He's out!"

Reporters who had been waiting outside for a long time rushed over, surging forward, and microphones were shoved toward Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu one after another.

"Mr. Guan, I heard you won 500 million in Macau, is it true?"

"Mr. Guan, may I ask how you won 500 million?"

"May I ask what your gambling capital was?"

"I heard you acquired ATV shares... TVB has higher ratings, why didn't you acquire TVB shares? Is it because you don't want to?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's lackeys didn't play a role in Macau, but at this moment, they directly formed a wall, blocking the crazy reporters.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu glanced at Huang Jieyi in the group of reporters and suddenly felt she was much more pleasing to the eye.

One of our own!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu pointed at Huang Jieyi: "Let the ATV reporter interview first......"

Reporters: "............" abusing power for personal gain, hey.

Le Huizhen: "............" take this storm of crying from me!

Huang Jieyi: "May I ask, Mr. Guan, can you specifically say how the 500 million was won? What was the gambling capital?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "For this, I think I still have to thank Goddess Mazu...... Everyone knows that I used to have the title of 'Stock God'; at that time, I was enlightened by Wong Tai Sin. Wong Tai Sin told me to do more charity, so I have always been doing charity, and later Wong Tai Sin enlightened me, and that time I earned one or two hundred million in the stock market."

"This time, I went to Macau, happened to encounter the A-Ma Temple, and offered incense to Goddess Mazu; she affirmed my frequent charity work, so she gave me guidance. Then I went and won 500 million in the casino."

Originally, Sister Ruan Mei, who placed the bets, should have been added to the story, but Sister Ruan Mei didn't want to be so exposed, so Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu only spoke about himself.

"The matter is just that simple." "As for whether you believe it or not, the fact is just so."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu spread his hands.

Huang Jieyi, Le Huizhen: "............"

Other reporters: "............"

Can it be like this?

Believing in Feng Shui in Hong Kong is very common; even the police force pays respects to Guan Gong.

Therefore, these reporters didn't entirely disbelieve Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's words, but were half-believing.

A reporter: "Really that spiritual?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "It is indeed that spiritual."

Then Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said seriously: "But I must seriously and solemnly emphasize one thing: gambling, nine out of ten bets lose; if you can do charity like me, do a lot of charity, for example, this time Mingxin Hospital spent over a billion on charity, only then is it possible to receive Goddess Mazu's protection."

"If you don't do any charity, then even if you go to Goddess Mazu to burn incense and pay respects, it won't be of any use."

!.

Why did he insist on pushing it onto Mazu? Because he was afraid that many people would think gambling was very profitable, so they would all run to Macau to gamble.

Moreover, winning consecutive high-odds bets in gambling is a very outrageous thing, so he had to give the world an excuse.

"Do charity?"

Many reporters recorded this 'experience' one after another.

Judging from Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's experience, he had indeed done a lot of charity.

"May I ask Mr. Guan, how did you keep winning until 500 million?"

"Very simple, because Mazu protected me; the first time I played roulette, I hit the number, the second time I played Sic Bo, I hit the double, the third time I hit the leopard, and then I obtained 150 million......"

Huang Jieyi, Le Huizhen: "............"

Other reporters: "............"

Directly silenced.

No, your gambling is too simple and crude, isn't it?

And, you won consecutively?

"Next, because I was afraid too many people would bet together, I changed to another casino...... and then continued the same process...... and then 500 million was in hand."

Reporters: "............"

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ flipping the table!

This is too simple!

Soon, a reporter changed to another direction: "May I ask Mr. Guan, is it true that you acquired the ATV shares in Boss He's hands?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "It's true, ATV should issue an announcement in these two days."

By noon,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's interview was broadcast on ATV and TVB news.

All Hong Kong citizens: "???"

Jaws dropped collectively.

"So easy?"

"Just because of Mazu?"

"I remember last year when he was the Stock God, Brother Zu said he was enlightened by Wong Tai Sin."

"This time, it changed to Mazu."

"Could it be that Wong Tai Sin and Mazu are really that spiritual?"

Then......

Causeway Bay, Tin Hau Temple.

(Tin Hau, which is Mazu.)

Originally, there weren't many people here; four or five citizens would come here to burn incense and pay respects every half hour.

And with the broadcast of the ATV and TVB news,

This place directly welcomed a large group of citizens who had been fooled.

"Goddess Mazu is above, I, Cao Dahua, usually catch criminals and do many good deeds; please protect me in winning money from horse racing."

"Goddess Tin Hau, I, Huang Bingyao......"

Soon,

The small Tin Hau Temple was packed with people, and finally, they squeezed out onto the road.

And because the door was relatively small, the people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't get in.

"Damn it, why won't the people inside come out!"

"Damn it all, people outside, move aside and let us out."

Soon they were arguing and cursing one after another.

Some people shouted: "This is Tin Hau Temple, aren't you afraid of angering Goddess Mazu by cursing?"

Everyone who was cursing shut their mouths and then muttered to Goddess Tin Hau's shrine: "My sin, my sin."

Soon, more and more citizens ran here.

The street was directly blocked.

Fortunately, police officers from the Wan Chai Police Station, such as Wei Yingzi and others, arrived quickly, controlled the scene, and directed traffic.

"Simply outrageous~~" Wei Yingzi's colleague saw so many people and was speechless.

"Do you think we should go in and pay respects later? Maybe we can win at horse racing."

Inside the police station, 80% of the people bought horses, which was considered a daily pastime.

"It's possible, doing good deeds; as police, does this count as accumulating virtue?"

When a group of police officers were discussing while maintaining order,

Someone inside shouted: "Officer, the incense is used up, help go buy a few bundles of incense back."

Police officers: "???"

Coincidentally, more than eighty Tin Hau temples spread across Hong Kong, Kowloon, the New Territories, and the outlying islands all welcomed a grand incense event today.

Even that Tin Hau temple in the most remote corner of the Islands District, the one where Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu killed that so-called master and met Abu, which was originally remote and didn't have many people visiting in a day, welcomed a peak flow of guests today.

Over at Young Master Li's side.

"Doing good deeds can receive Mazu's protection?"

Thinking of what he was doing now, weren't they all good deeds?

"Can it protect me in inheriting the Li family?"

"Can it protect my brother...... um......"

On the other side,

Lin Group,

ATV's major shareholder Boss Lin had already received the news that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had returned.

He called Boss He.

"Old He, how much did you sell your shares for in the end?"

"80 million."

"So little?"

"Friendship price, I still like this young man Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu very much...... If I sell the shares, you won't be unhappy, will you?"

"No, actually I'm not too obsessed with ATV, mainly because of my youngest son."

For Boss Lin, ATV was a losing business; from acquiring it from Boss Qiu in 1988 to finally selling it, he lost 3 billion.

When facing media interviews, the elderly Boss Lin revealed a fact: "Actually, buying ATV was my youngest son's idea."

Young Master Lin had always loved the entertainment industry and was entangled with Hong Kong beauties over the years, contributing gossip news to Hong Kong.

This kind of "sentiment" came from his childhood when every Sunday, after lunch, Boss Lin would definitely take him to see a 5:30 movie; the movie-watching days every week were beautiful memories for Young Master Lin.

For Boss Lin, since 1988 until now in 1991, 3 years, from his ambition to surpass TVB with ATV, to now being repeatedly beaten by TVB, he gradually became salty fish, handing over major affairs to Zhou Shuyi; unless it was a major event, he wouldn't ask about other small matters.

It was only since the end of last year, when he cooperated with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to do "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," that ATV became a bit stronger.

Boss Lin hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and called the secretary.

"Go handle three things!"

"Call Ms. Zhou, Mr. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is now a new shareholder, the television station should hold a welcome ceremony to welcome his joining; let's set the time for tomorrow morning."

"The second thing, you go visit Mr. Guan personally and invite him......"

"The third thing, you go visit personally and invite Tycoon Zheng to ATV tomorrow to celebrate Mr. Guan's promotion to company shareholder......"

Secretary nodded: "Yes, I'll go handle it right away."

One hour later, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded in agreement.

Two hours later, Tycoon Zheng nodded in agreement.
