Chapter 199: Communication (Please Subscribe)

Basically, they were all acquaintances!

Not to mention Chairman Liao of Silver City, he also knew the senior management of the Bank of China.

After all, when purchasing raw materials from the Mainland, the Hong Kong Dollars and Dollars used all went through the Bank of China.

As for the China Resources Group, he also dealt with them frequently, and he had certain business dealings with the China Merchants Group as well.

Unknowingly, his connection with the Mainland-funded groups in Hong Kong gradually deepened.

Introduced by Chairman Liao, he met officials from Mainland sports organizations and cultural institutions.

After the introductions, Chairman Liao smiled and teased, "Wusheng has made quite a splash recently!"

"Haha, it's all for the sake of making money; there's no other way!"

Wu Feng chuckled, "I also want to enter the real estate industry and lie back to make money easily, but unfortunately, I can't get in!"

"Since the situation doesn't allow it, then we can only start from other aspects!"

"Hong Kong is such a big place; I see there are still many areas that haven't been developed or built up, right?"

At this moment, the Mainland cultural institution official asked curiously, "Could it be that there isn't a single loophole?"

"There are definitely loopholes!"

Wu Feng nodded with a light laugh and said leisurely, "Unfortunately, without government leadership, wanting to develop purely through individual strength is simply a pipe dream!"

"How is that possible?"

The Mainland cultural institution official said in confusion, "I heard that Hong Kong has a population of over five million, with the vast majority living on Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. The living environment is crowded and narrow; hasn't the Hong Kong government thought about improving it?"

"Improve it for what?"

Wu Feng said with amusement, "Spend so much effort, only for the Mainland to benefit in the end?"

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the Big Brothers from the Mainland-funded institutions present were not very good.

But this was a fact, yet it left them feeling helpless.

"I don't agree with this!"

The Mainland cultural institution cadre shook his head and said, "This concerns people's livelihoods; it would be terrible if trouble were to break out!"

"Sigh, the current Hong Kong government is only responsible to Great Britain!"

Wu Feng spoke indifferently, "As long as it's not truly unsustainable, they couldn't possibly care too much about so-called people's livelihoods; it's not like they are their own people anyway!"

Some truths were quite harsh, so there was no need for him to say them out loud.

Would the foreigners care about the lives of the Chinese?

"As far as I know!"

Seeing that the other party still wanted to speak, he continued, "I don't know if it's malicious propaganda by certain people, but they say that vigorously developing the New Territories is just helping Pengcheng across the way!"

"Once this idea takes root, let alone now, even twenty years from now, the New Territories will likely remain the same. Those who have houses on Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula will absolutely not allow housing prices to fall!"

The Hong Kong of later generations was just like that; large areas connected to Pengcheng were simply not developed.

If it weren't for the arrival of the internet and smartphone era, who would have known that out of Hong Kong's population of over seven million, seventy percent of the land had not been fully developed?

When he first heard it, his first feeling was that it was unbelievable.

Later, as his understanding of capitalist society deepened, he realized it was just a basic operation.

The most exaggerated thing was that the Hong Kong of later generations actually possessed over twenty universities!

The first time he heard that, he thought that even Hong Kong high school students could go to university, and there would probably be a large surplus.

Later, he realized he had thought too much...

"Impossible, that can't be!"

Hearing Wu Feng's words, that official from the Mainland cultural institution looked incredulous.

Wu Feng and Chairman Liao looked at each other, both seeing helplessness in the other's eyes.

Great, another guy fooled by certain rumors.

There was no dissatisfaction, though; the current situation was just like this.

"Wusheng, isn't the intensity of the fighting matches a bit too high?"

At this time, the Mainland sports institution official spoke up, "I see that fighters are often getting injured!"

"It won't work otherwise!"

Wu Feng explained with a bitter smile, "Otherwise, the television station's ratings won't be high enough, and it will be difficult to make money!"

"I see the matches are very lively!"

That person was unconvinced and retorted, "Is it a bit too much to be so focused on money?"

"The television station is private and must be responsible for its own profits and losses!"

Wu Feng chuckled and explained, "Asia Television has over five hundred official staff members. Even if the average salary is four thousand, the monthly expenditure is two million!"

"This money all has to come out of my own pocket!"

"Doesn't the Hong Kong government provide any funding?"

That sports institution official was very surprised, "That's not very likely, right?"

"It's true; the Hong Kong government doesn't care about these things at all!"

Chairman Liao interjected, "The television stations here in Hong Kong are very different from the situation in the Mainland!"

"In that case, if the television station broadcasts programs indiscriminately, wouldn't that cause trouble?"

That person was very puzzled and asked, "Isn't this too strange?"

"The Hong Kong government has specialized agencies to manage it!"

Wu Feng explained, "Operating a television station requires a license. Once a station acts recklessly, the license is directly revoked, and the loss would be too great!"

"To take over Asia Television, I paid out two hundred million Hong Kong Dollars in cash!"

This statement was quite impactful.

At the very least, the officials from the cultural and sports institutions who had been asking questions incessantly were momentarily dumbfounded and unable to speak for a long while.

When the average wage in the Mainland had not yet exceeded one hundred, what kind of concept was two hundred million Hong Kong Dollar?

"In short, the situation here in Hong Kong is vastly different from the Mainland!"

Wu Feng spoke slowly: "Those who are rich are truly rich, but the situation of the poor is truly unbearable to look at; do you know what a Gezi Long is?"

Following that, he briefly introduced the situation of the Gezi Long.

"This, this, this, isn't this too exaggerated?"

The officials from the Mainland cultural and sports institutions all widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

"There is nothing exaggerated or not exaggerated about it!"

Wu Feng sneered: "Haven't you heard the saying that a capitalist society is a paradise for the rich but a hell for the poor? It is truly too difficult to turn one's life around!"

"In fact, the economy of Hong Kong is currently in a stage of rapid take-off, and ordinary people still have the opportunity to struggle for success!"

"Once the economic development reaches a stable stage, then for ordinary people, there will be no more opportunities!"

"With the resources controlled by the Hong Kong government, the current housing prices and commodity prices in Hong Kong are abnormal, but will they intervene? That is an impossible thing!"

"Certain institutions of the current Hong Kong government are basically in a state of rot, just wanting to rake in more money!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and walked directly toward the area where the staff who had come to Hong Kong were located.

He came to attend the cocktail party, but not specifically to communicate with the officials from the cultural and sports institutions.

His main purpose was to put the minds of the Mainland professionals who had come to Hong Kong at ease, so that they could work in Hong Kong with peace of mind.

In the circle of participating fighters, he told these Mainland experts that they must fight the matches well.

The current income was merely a beginning!

He briefly described the subsequent peripheral development of the First Fighting Tournament.

"Using fame to sell goods for a share of the profits is only effective during the competition; once the competition is over, the effect will not be obvious!"

"But the subsequent novels, comics, television dramas, and even possible movies, as well as the Arcade Game, are the Datou; they may bring you huge earnings of hundreds of thousands or even over a million Hong Kong Dollar later on!"

"Even if you stop at the top thirty-two, it doesn't matter; as long as you have your own characteristics, you will still be valued!"

"What is called a characteristic? It means you might be tall and sturdy, leaving a very deep first impression on people, and your fighting style is also bold and unconstrained, with great watchability and impact!"

"Perhaps you are very handsome, and you fight beautifully and dashingly; you can also leave a very good impression on the audience!"

"Or perhaps, your fist techniques or leg techniques are particularly powerful, and having your own unique secret skill will also do!"

"These are all benefits. Of course, during this period, you must all keep yourselves clean and self-disciplined; do not easily ruin your own image, as that is all money!"

In fact, Wu Feng really wanted to communicate and spar with these Mainland experts in private.

It was just that these guys were either eliminated and had injuries on them, or were at a critical moment and simply could not be distracted; he could not interrupt the rhythm of these Mainland experts because of his own reasons.

Right now, saying anything to them was not as direct as talking about money.

Haven't you seen that every one of the Mainland experts had eyes shining with light, and they were more confident about the subsequent matches?

Wu Feng chuckled; what he wanted was for the Mainland experts to have such spirit.

As for the Second Fighting Tournament, he did not care at all about who would eventually win the championship.

By the time of the third tournament, he would invite experts from Southeast Asia to join.

At that time, the intensity of the competition would rise to an even higher level.

To put it bluntly, whether it was the experts from the Mainland or Hong Kong, in fact, they would not have much pressure to survive.

But the experts from Southeast Asia were different; they truly had pressure to survive.

The practical fist techniques from Southeast Asia were basically forged by damaging one's own body.

If they did not make a name for themselves when they were young or in their prime, the outcome after their peak state passed would be very miserable.

After having a good exchange with the Mainland experts and giving them a shot of adrenaline, he then came to the side of the film and television professionals to exchange relevant information with them.

"The reason I invited you all here to help is mainly because there are not enough professional talents here in Hong Kong!"

"Of course, you must also quickly adapt to the rhythm of film and television shooting here in Hong Kong; otherwise, after a long time, no one will be able to stand it, and at that time, you will only be sent back to your original unit!"

"Rest assured, during your time working in Hong Kong, your salary will be the same as the Hong Kong staff; there will be no discriminatory treatment. I am not short of that bit of Hong Kong Dollar!"

"If anyone deducts your pay, you can directly complain to the company's financial supervision and discipline departments; at the very least, you can also contact me directly through the connections of Yindu Institution!"

"You must never suffer in silence. The more weak and easy to bully you appear, the more unscrupulous certain people will become. This is not a joke!"

"Oh, if your performance is excellent enough and you can communicate smoothly with the film crews here in Hong Kong, it is not impossible for you to stay. Of course, you must not leave any loose ends at your original units in the Mainland!"

"In short, you can work here in Hong Kong with confidence and boldness. My film and television company will handle the logistics clearly; you just need to focus your minds on your work!"

A few days ago the highest temperature exceeded thirty, but in the last two days it has only been a few degrees. It is easy to catch a cold if not careful, fortunately the situation is not serious.
