Chapter 220: Expectation

At the end of the month, it was time for Hong Hing's main hall to collect the "count."

When Wu Feng walked into the large conference room, he happened to see Jige and the others playing lively at the electronic mahjong machine in the corner.

Even Taizi was sitting in front of a *Fist King* arcade machine, playing happily.

Wu Feng saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Did it have to be this exaggerated?

Fortunately, there were no slot machines here; otherwise, one might think this was a small arcade hall.

Jing Kun greeted him to come over and said with a smile: "You kid, you're probably going to make a fortune this time, right?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the electronic mahjong machine that Jige and the others were playing with.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to make this stuff!"

Wu Feng sat down and said frankly: "If it weren't to disgust that person in Macau, I would be too lazy to toss and turn!"

"Your move is ruthless enough!"

Jing Kun laughed lightly: "As far as I know, the number of Hong Kong residents going to Macau has decreased by at least 10% to 20% recently!"

"That person in Macau is probably wishing you were dead right now!"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Wu Feng said disdainfully: "It's not just his family that's affected!"

"Besides, even if I stopped now, would others not make electronic game machines?"

"As long as there is profit to be made, that person in Macau's reputation is just like that!"

"No wonder they say you're the one who does things decisively!"

Jing Kun gave a thumbs up and said admiringly: "If it were me, I wouldn't have the confidence to go head-to-head!"

"You don't even gamble!"

Wu Feng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Of course, once you guys get the gambling ship ready, you'll have to face the anger of that person in Macau!"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Jing Kun said stubbornly: "It's not like we're directly competing with Macau's casinos. If that person is unhappy, then let's fight it out. Our Hong Hing isn't made of soft persimmons!"

Speaking of this, he laughed sinisterly: "Do you believe that once Hong Hing opens the gap, other first-class triads will quickly follow suit? There's no need to say how complicated the situation will be then!"

"That person in Macau's strength is indeed extraordinary, but if he wants to suppress the numerous first-class triads in Hong Kong, it's not something that can be done just by saying it. Hong Hing just needs to withstand the initial pressure!"

"It's just cheap for other triads; thinking about it makes me feel unhappy!"

"What's there to be unhappy about?"

Wu Feng said amusingly: "If it can be done, that's another way to make money!"

"And it's not the citizens of Hong Kong and Macau who are being harmed; we'll earn as much as we can!"

"You kid, you speak well; saying a little more won't waste much saliva!"

Jing Kun said with a smile: "In fact, I really hope you kid will participate too!"

"That won't be necessary!"

Wu Feng smiled innocently, but what he said was quite domineering: "I'm afraid that the local snakes in Southeast Asia will be scared, and at the same time, you guys will be implicated!"

"That's so exaggerated, I don't believe it!"

Jing Kun narrowed his eyes and curled his lips: "It's too weird; how come I feel like you're fooling me?"

"If I were to get involved in gambling ship affairs, most of the security forces I sent would come from the Mainland!"

Wu Feng wasn't annoyed, just smiled: "If I arranged two companies of personnel on a gambling ship, I'm afraid it would alarm the local military!"

"You kid, you're ruthless enough!"

Jing Kun was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he said angrily: "If you really did that, it might indeed implicate me. You'd better not get involved!"

"Doesn't that settle it!"

Wu Feng said amusingly: "I already have too many things to do; where would I have the energy to get involved in such things?"

"Besides, I can't compare with you old-school branch masters. I don't have many connections or contacts in Southeast Asia. If I can't attract enough gamblers, wouldn't I lose money?"

"If that really happened, it would be a huge joke!"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to nag you about this. Let's talk about the movie!"

Jing Kun was speechless and took the initiative to change the subject: "Didn't I mention it to you before? Qiankun Film and Television intends to film kung fu movies, but the box office isn't very good!"

"Didn't lose money, right?"

Wu Feng asked directly: "If you lost money, then slow down and talk about it later!"

"It's not that we lost money, it's just that we didn't earn much!"

Jing Kun said depressingly: "The cost of a film is about 3 million, the Hong Kong box office is 6 or 7 million, and the revenue from selling videotapes to Southeast Asia is only 4 or 5 million!"

"Compared to the income of *Guyzai* 1 and 2, and *Snake Head* 1 and 2, the gap is a bit big!"

"So I want to ask, did something go wrong?"

"How are the novel and comic of the same name doing?"

Wu Feng didn't rush to answer but asked back: "You have to answer this honestly!"

"It's not bad!"

Jing Kun replied: "The novel was published in *Novel Monthly*, and the comic also sold more than 30,000 copies!"

"Then, in the post-mortem review, did you figure out the problem?"

Wu Feng continued to ask: "Don't beat around the bush; this is very important!"

"It's not tense and exciting enough, and there's also a problem with the plot!"

Jing Kun said embarrassedly: "The company's screenwriters were a bit too forceful when adapting it!"

"I think that the action movies produced by Qiankun Film and Television shouldn't deviate too much from the triad world!"

Wu Feng pondered for a moment and said directly: "If the plot of the action movies you create yourself is hard to grasp, then adapt and polish the stories of the various fierce people who appeared when the Hong Kong triads first emerged in the 50s and 60s, and put some effort into action guidance. The situation should improve significantly!"

"In this way, the movie stories all have a realistic basis, and I think they can attract quite a few viewers!"

Speaking of this, he laughed lightly: "Of course, I also know your idea, Brother Kun. When creating the script, it's best to invite the R&D personnel of the game development company to set up the game adaptation situation!"

"Haha, I can't hide anything from you!"

Having his thoughts spoken, Jing Kun wasn't annoyed and laughed: "The electronic game machine market in Hong Kong is so prosperous right now; if I don't get involved, wouldn't it be too wasteful?"

While the two were laughing and talking, Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao arrived together.

Jige and Taizi and the others immediately stopped playing electronic games and hurriedly returned to the large conference table to sit down, each with a serious expression, preparing for the meeting.

"Collect the count according to the rules first, then talk about other things!"

Jiang Tiansheng didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Everyone, be quick. The things we're going to talk about next might take quite a while!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately accelerated the action of collecting the count, and at the same time, they were quite expectant in their hearts.

In fact, the Dragon Head Jiang Tiansheng, the Mong Kok district spokesperson Jing Kun, and the Kwai Tsing district spokesperson Han Bin were preparing for the gambling ship in private, and the other district spokespersons already knew about it.
