Chapter 424: 417 Big changes in the underworld! Chris Patten, far away in the UK, sneezed!

Dong Xing headquarters.

In the conference room, a huge solid wood conference table occupied the center of the room.

On the surrounding walls were photos and flags that displayed Dong Xing's past "glory."

Dong Xing leader Camel sat in the main seat; usually smiling, today he rarely showed strength, as if he had returned to the years when he led Dong Xing brothers to charge back and forth in the Mong Kok battle.

He slowly scanned his four capable subordinates sitting on both sides.

"Boss~~"

"Boss~~~"

When the Dong Xing Four Tigers saw Camel's expression, they knew something was up.

"Calling you here today is to discuss an important matter." Camel's voice was low,

"This year is 92; there isn't much time left until the return... have you thought about what position we will sit in then?"

Laughing Tiger Wu Zhiwei smiled lightly: "They all say Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong, so naturally, we should sit where we should sit."

Camel looked at him: "Is that so? Are you sure?"

Wu Zhiwei: "Boss, if you have something to say, just say it directly; no need to sell suspense here."

The other three tigers also nodded.

"Good!"

Camel simply got straight to the point and said:

"Xin Ji has already defected to the mainland... and Hong Xing has also begun to wash their hands and get on shore... We in Dong Xing have been in the underworld for so many years, and we have also been doing the drug trafficking line for quite some time. Today, I plan to give up the drug trafficking business."

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room instantly fell into a short silence.

Subsequently, a different kind of atmosphere quietly permeated.

Capturing Dragon Tiger Situ Haonan frowned slightly, a flash of imperceptible disdain flashed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Boss, although drug trafficking is dangerous, it has always been our important source of wealth. Giving it up so easily, how can the brothers under us be convinced?"

His voice was steady, but it carried a hint of provocation.

Ben Lei Tiger Lei Yaoyang leaned on the back of the chair, legs casually resting on the conference table, a faint smile hanging on the corners of his mouth. He was wearing a suit, the collar slightly open, revealing the tattoo on his chest, looking casual and flamboyant.

"Situ, since the boss said so, he must have his considerations... but, boss, it's not that I'm talking about you, but if we give up drug trafficking, it won't be easy to find a new way to make money; boss, you always have to give us a way to live, right? Correct?"

Laughing Tiger Wu Zhiwei wore his signature smile, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said slowly:

"Boss, I think Yaoyang makes sense; giving up is easy, but finding a suitable substitute business is not easy. Boss, if you have any way to make money, you might as well say it directly; the brothers will definitely support you."

Only if there is a way to make money will the brothers support you.

If there is no way to make money, go to hell!

The fourth tiger, He Yong, remained silent; he is a new tiger, not very strong, and his territory is next to Causeway Bay, which is the sphere of influence of the Five-Star Group, so he himself does not traffic drugs.

Therefore,

You guys argue your arguments,

I'll play my own!

Camel looked at everyone; it was clear that the three tigers were not satisfied: "I know you are reluctant, but we can't just look at the immediate benefits. Although drug trafficking makes money fast, we will be taken over in a few years; it will be difficult to get out then."

Situ Haonan curled his lips: "Boss, you say it easily; unless you find a way to make money, otherwise I won't follow you."

Lei Yaoyang shrugged: "That's right, boss, we have a pile of brothers under us who need to eat; it's not that we don't want to, but we can't."

Since it had come to this, Camel knew he couldn't continue talking.

He could only throw out his trump card.

Camel: "What if I say... this is Mr. Guan's meaning? Just yesterday, Mr. Guan saw me and said he represented the mainland's opinion, hoping we could give up drug trafficking..."

Situ Haonan, Lei Yaoyang, and Wu Zhiwei's faces changed.

Guan Zu,

That is the underworld tumor!

The herbicide of the industry!

Wherever he goes, there is disaster!

The key is that his strength is still strong, and you can't play against him.

Situ Haonan, Lei Yaoyang, and Wu Zhiwei's faces were ugly.

"Boss, we are Dong Xing; since when did Hong Xing manage our Dong Xing?"

"That's right, Hong Xing has always been our opponent!"

"Boss, are we going to bow down to Hong Xing like this?"

"The brothers under us are afraid they won't agree!"

Camel sneered.

These three guys are pretending to be stupid while being smart.

Putting labels on me!

Camel looked at He Yong: "Ah Yong, come and express your opinion."

He Yong: "............"

No, I'll just eat melon; you big bosses talk among yourselves.

Under Camel's staring gaze, He Yong bit the bullet and said: "Three big brothers, you all know that my territory is next to Mr. Guan's, and I can't traffic drugs even if I want to... so I support the leader."

Camel was satisfied and looked at the three tigers: "If you don't want to give up this drug trafficking business, I won't stop you... However, I hope you can transfer and leave Dong Xing. Whoever you want to take, take them; you can take all the juniors; I don't care."

Situ Haonan: "Really? If I set up a New Dong Xing, you won't oppose it?"

If it were before,

This would be a taboo for the society and would lead to the whole society chasing them down.

But...

"New Dong Xing?"

Camel was generous: "Whatever you want!"

Situ Haonan, Wu Zhihong, and Lei Yaoyang were moved at this moment.

They are not the boss; they have to pay the gang every month, and give filial piety money to the uncles, which makes them a bit unhappy.

If they set up a New Dong Xing, they would be the boss; how good that would be.

Wu Zhihong was still a bit hesitant, feeling that Camel was trying to do something: "Boss, if we set up a New Dong Xing, you won't chase us down, right?"

Camel shook his head: "No, I just want to earn money properly now."

He wished these three people would set up some "New Dong Xing"; this would clearly tell the police and the mainland: Look, that part of the people who traffic drugs has nothing to do with me; I, Camel, am positive energy!

Situ Haonan, Wu Zhihong, and Lei Yaoyang saw that Camel really wanted to cut ties, and their hearts began to become active at this moment.

New Dong Xing, do they want to set it up themselves?

Or do the three of them set it up together?

The three looked at each other and quickly looked away.

Situ Haonan's heart: "Damn it, these two look like insidious villains!"

Wu Zhihong's heart: "These two bastards must be thinking of some conspiracy!"

Lei Yaoyang's heart: "Damn, if I cooperate with them, will I be killed by them?!"

Uncle Deng's side also had a similar thing happen.

He invited Chuan Bao and Dapu Hei to his villa to drink kung fu tea. Big Brother Quan spends most of his time in the mainland doing business; his main business is transporting chilled chicken to Hong Kong, and drug trafficking is done by stuffing goods through chilled chicken.

Uncle Deng simply got straight to the point and told Guan Zu's words again.

"Bang~~ Guan Zu is a Legislative Councilor, so amazing, saying he won't let us traffic drugs and he won't let us traffic drugs!"

Dapu Hei slapped the table in great dissatisfaction.

Chuan Bao was angry: "That's right, he is becoming more and more domineering!"

Uncle Deng slowly poured tea for the two: "The matter is this matter... now I give you two paths: one is not to traffic drugs and do business honestly... the other is to set up a New He Lian Sheng, take people yourself, I don't oppose it, but leave the territory to me."

New He Lian Sheng?

Chuan Bao and Dapu Hei were shocked.

Playing so big?

Looking at Uncle Deng's eyes, they understood that Uncle Deng was playing for real this time.

Dapu Hei and Chuan Bao hesitated.

Dapu Hei: "I have to talk to Brother Quan (Big Brother Quan) before I can give you an answer."

Uncle Deng nodded: "Good, 1 month's time, must make a final choice!"

Other societies,

Also had similar scenes happen one after another.

Cut ties!

The underworld, big changes!

On the other side,

ATV prepared for more than a week, and "A Bite of China" was finally broadcast.

When those delicious dishes in the program were presented before their eyes, the audience's eyes were full of amazement and drooling.

However, compared to the food itself, the scenery of China's vast land and the human stories behind it shown in the program moved the hearts of Hong Kong residents like a powerful force.

Experienced herbalists shuttle through the mountains and forests, fingers gently pushing aside rotten leaves, and a porcini mushroom with primitive style breaks through the soil...

On the ice lake, baskets of fish are salvaged, and splashing water droplets sparkle between the blue sea and blue sky...

The vast grassland, herds of cattle and sheep eat grass leisurely, and the whole roasted lamb sizzles with oil on the campfire...

Hong Kong citizens, through the window of food, saw the magnificent scenery of China's vast land and felt the profound cultural heritage.

Broadcast on the first night...

Then broadcast twice in the morning and afternoon of the second day...

The third day, Guan Zu went to work,

The Variety Director reported the ratings to him.

"Boss..."

"This is the ratings of 'A Bite of China'; the premiere ratings were 65%, and it steadily rose after the broadcast, obviously the audience was kept."

"The second day of rebroadcast, the morning ratings were 42%, 10% more than the same period, and the afternoon was 39%, 11% more than the same period... obviously the audience likes this program very much."

"Especially the TV station's phone, many elderly people called, saying this program is good, they felt they saw their hometown... hoping we at ATV will broadcast more. This kind of call is even more than the calls for 'Justice Pao'."

Guan Zu heard this.

Good!

Just because of the elderly saying 'saw their hometown,' this program is worth it.

Guan Zu: "As long as the citizens like it, you can rebroadcast it a few more times... In addition, I will urge the north to send the remaining programs as soon as possible..."

At night,

Causeway Bay, neon signs flicker with colorful light.

Guan Zu invited Mao Xiang Yang to have a late-night snack.

A certain late-night snack stall, lively and extraordinary, diners are either talking loudly or whispering, talking about daily life.

Guan Zu sat at a table, Gong Wei and Ah Xing were eating grilled squid and grilled chives on the side.

The table was full of delicacies: Typhoon Shelter Crab exuded an alluring aroma; fresh shrimp wonton noodles were steaming, the thin skin of the wontons wrapped around full and delicious shrimp meat; tender beef skewers, crispy chicken cartilage, fat grilled chicken wings, fragrant; and Guan Zu's favorite raw porridge with pork offal...

Guan Zu took a sip of porridge: "Ah Wei, how is your wife's surgery recovery?"

The final diagnosis of Gong Wei's wife, Li Xia, was lung cancer (early stage) + cirrhosis; at this time, laparoscopic surgery was not yet mature, and Mingxin Hospital used open chest surgery to cut off the cancer part.

Gong Wei hurriedly said: "Currently still hospitalized, waiting for recovery... the body has always been a bit poor."

This matter, Gong Wei has always been very grateful to Guan Zu.

Surgery fees, treatment, hospitalization fees, totaling over 100,000, were paid by Guan Zu.

Guan Zu: "Then recover well..."

Guan Zu actually has an "Injury Recovery Acceleration Card," but, for the little girl in the last case, Guan Zu used it, and finally the little girl successfully woke up.

Just at this moment, Mao Xiang Yang appeared from the street corner in a hurry, footsteps hurried, his expression carrying a bit of apology.

"Really sorry, Azu, the road was blocked, came late!"

Guan Zu waved his hand slightly and said: "What are we being polite about, sit down quickly."

Guan Zu picked up a grilled chicken wing and took a bite: "Brother Mao, tell you a piece of news, 'A Bite of China' was broadcast last night, the ratings are good, 60%, then rebroadcast..."

Roughly said the data, and the month-on-month, and so on.

"It can be said that this program is a success in Hong Kong!"

"Really?"

Mao Xiang Yang's eyes lit up instantly, his face filled with joy that couldn't be hidden.

"That is indeed good news!"

Guan Zu: "And, our TV station's phone received many calls from elderly people in Hong Kong, saying that after watching the program, they all thought of their hometown, and their homesickness was suddenly hooked."

Mao Xiang Yang heard this and slapped the table even more excitedly: "Too good! As long as we can make everyone start missing their hometown through the program, then this project is meaningful."

He hurriedly raised a glass of iced San Miguel beer and toasted Guan Zu.

"Thank you, Azu!"

This project was proposed by Guan Zu.

Bang~~

Cheers!

Guan Zu continued: "I think this kind of program can be done more. Besides food, we can also shoot more geography and culture. When it's done, put it directly on ATV to broadcast."

Mao Xiang Yang nodded: "Your suggestion is so right! We can indeed shoot more and show the charm of the motherland."

Mao Xiang Yang became more excited the more he thought about it, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"Azu, I will report to the above tomorrow; they will definitely be very happy!"

The matter was discussed,

Finally, they could eat the late-night snack happily.

"This is..."

Mao Xiang Yang looked at Gong Wei curiously.

Haven't seen him before.

Guan Zu introduced: "Gong Wei, my new bodyguard... This is Mao Xiang Yang, just call him Brother Mao, from the political and legal system of Guangdong Province... now it should be the political and legal system of the capital..."

Mao Xiang Yang smiled reservedly.

He was indeed promoted.

Gong Wei: "Brother Mao..."

Wiped his hands and shook hands with Mao Xiang Yang.

Soon finished eating, Mao Xiang Yang took a ratings data sheet given by Guan Zu and

And Guan Zu also receives a notification...

"'A Bite of China' has been successfully broadcast and has triggered subsequent positive influence..."

"You have received Reward 1: Hong Kong Island approval rating +0.5% (27.5%)."

"Reward 2: One 'Injury Healing Acceleration Card'!"

Guan Zu looks at the rewards and says to Gong Wei, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Mingxin Hospital to visit your wife."

The next day, early in the morning,

Mao Xiang Yang cannot wait to go to the Xinhua News Agency, dials a long-distance call, and reports the good news about "A Bite of China" to his superiors.

At this time,

On the other side of the ocean, the UK general election campaign is in full swing.

Chris Patten is currently a member of the Conservative Party, and he is ambitiously helping British Prime Minister John Major continue to plan and promote the Conservative Party's campaign (for re-election) in this British general election.

At the same time, he is also actively giving speeches, running for Member of Parliament for the Bath constituency.

He is full of confidence in this position and is determined to win.

Once Major is re-elected and he himself makes a splash in the House of Commons, perhaps he can run for the House of Lords or a cabinet position in the next term.

"Achoo~~~"

Suddenly, Chris Patten sneezes.

He feels malice coming from the East.
