Chapter 288: High-End Business War (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Wu Feng did not know if Jiang Tiansheng was intentionally probing or speaking inadvertently.

Topics involving his subordinates' companies and industries were very sensitive and easily aroused his vigilance.

No matter the world or the environment, it is never wrong to be a little more cautious.

For a top-tier tycoon to play soccer, it is definitely just a hobby.

Otherwise, it would be very easy to be targeted by certain guys and forces.

Building bridges and paving roads leaves no bones, while killing and arson bring golden belts!

Some people and forces simply do not act like human beings, specializing in earning dirty money.

Once something happens to Wu Feng, the industries and factories under his control would likely face the fate of being carved up.

Fortunately, thanks to his unremitting efforts, the two beautiful celebrity actresses he had deep exchanges with were already pregnant, though outsiders did not know it.

At this time, the small private hospital he had spent a considerable price to purchase came in handy.

There are quite a few private clinics in Hong Kong, and private hospitals are not in short supply either.

Anyone who has come from later generations knows what the situation is like with public hospitals in Hong Kong.

The reason for purchasing the hospital so early was mainly to assist his own training.

Things like Medicinal Cuisine and medicinal baths all require skilled old traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to help prepare them.

At such times, it is best to have one's own hospital, as it makes everything convenient.

For example, when settling famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioners hired at high salaries from the Mainland, having a hospital makes it sound better.

Additionally, using the hospital's identity to procure advanced medical equipment from Europe and America is clearly more convenient and can save a lot of trouble.

Most importantly, Wu Feng needs a medical institution he can trust to ensure his own physical data does not leak.

One must know that this era is very interesting; whether it is the Soviet Bear, the United States, or the Mainland side, everyone is researching special abilities and super soldiers.

Wu Feng's physical fitness has certainly reached a certain peak for humans at this time.

If his physical data were leaked, no one could guarantee whether any accidents might occur.

After all, his daily life trajectory is easy to Zha.

Naturally, it is known that Wu Feng's training intensity cannot be compared to those professional athletes.

Unfortunately, medical resources in Hong Kong are considered quite precious.

Those top tycoon families either have good relationships with top private hospitals or are simply their shareholders.

Any private hospital with some fame is considered a hot commodity.

It is also for this reason that the private hospital Wu Feng bought for nearly ten million Hong Kong Dollars is very small in scale.

It only has a three-story building in total, and there are only a pitiful five hospital beds.

Previously, it could only be considered a community hospital type.

It was fine for treating some colds and minor ailments, but as for larger illnesses, there was no way to handle them, and patients would not trust their medical standards.

After Wu Feng bought it, he naturally invested a large sum of money for renovation and upgrading.

If nothing else, the scale of the hospital was directly expanded.

As for the previous doctors, anyone with decent skills was basically transferred to the outpatient department.

As for the core departments of the hospital, they were all filled by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners from the Mainland hired by Wu Feng at high salaries.

The entire hospital currently only serves Wu Feng and those close to him.

Items like physical examinations, as well as massage therapy and other projects, are all conducted here.

In addition, with the purchase of expensive advanced medical instruments and equipment, this place also has the capability to perform surgeries and a series of modern comprehensive examinations.

In terms of medical care and maintenance, Wu Feng is very willing to invest money!

In fact, the hospital scale established by his factory group in the Mainland is larger, with more complete facilities and equipment, and the doctors invited have quite impressive strength.

If there is a need, the factory-affiliated hospital in the Mainland can provide better medical services.

In fact, through the private hospital, Wu Feng has already established a health file for himself.

It is not an ordinary health file, but rather various physical data changes checked according to his own training situation; one can see at a glance the detailed changes in all aspects of his physical fitness after his Military Hard Qigong reached Great Accomplishment, all of which have clear data.

Let's put it this way: if Wu Feng's training data were used as a blueprint, combined with modern medical and sports science methods, one could even cultivate a batch of experts with small accomplishments in Military Hard Qigong.

The reason it is not Great Accomplishment is mainly because everyone's individual physical fitness is different.

But even so, it is already quite exaggerated.

A skilled hand with small accomplishments in Military Hard Qigong has skills at least at the level of a scout!

Even the current special forces in the Mainland are likely only at this level.

In fact, the group of well-known traditional Chinese medicine practitioners under Wu Feng has already followed his requirements to conduct specialized training for his elite bodyguards.

During this period, the Medicinal Cuisine and medicinal ointments pondered and developed can all be pushed to the market as related products.

Wu Feng will only gradually push these byproducts, which were created to assist his training, to the market after the factory hospital in the Mainland is completed and operating normally.

Not only that, he also spent a lot of money in the Mainland to invite Internal Martial Arts experts to participate in physical data testing to see how their physical functions differ from ordinary people.

Setting aside idle talk, in short, with a private hospital, many things can be kept as confidential as possible.

For example, the matter of his intimate girlfriend's pregnancy can basically be kept unknown to the outside world.

It is not that Wu Feng's defensive psychology is too strong, but that reality is crueler.

He knows the certain rules of those so-called wealthy families.

That is, when traveling, important family members should try their best not to take the same plane.

Or, unless necessary, there will always be an important family member sitting at home.

Even those big tycoons are so careful, so it is very normal for Wu Feng to be cautious.

Besides, he is usually surrounded by Underlings and groups of bodyguards when he travels, so even if outsiders want to find an opportunity to act, there is not much possibility of success.

But at this time, Wu Feng participating in a ball game as a player revealed a huge flaw.

Of course, he believed Jiang Tiansheng wouldn't be so brainless!

But, this guy's subconscious question also revealed that the industries under Wu Feng's control were all hot commodities.

The facts were indeed so!

The entertainment linkage model he created was yielding higher and higher effects and profits.

And the public opinion platform also had immense influence!

Sure enough, Jiang Tiansheng had only spoken subconsciously; he himself hadn't even realized the issue.

Wu Feng perfunctorily brushed him off with a few words and sent him away.

It was hard to say if it was karma, but in the blink of an eye, Jiang Tiansheng couldn't laugh anymore.

There was no other reason; the properties under his control, including an office building and quite a few shops, had been experiencing frequent power outages over the last few days, which depressed him quite a bit.

"What's going on?"

When he saw Jiang Tiansheng again, this person's face looked a bit more haggard.

"Hmph, the aftereffects of the event held before the New Year!"

Jiang Tiansheng didn't hide it either, saying gloomily: "We inadvertently affected the supermarket group business of Li Bancheng's family, so Hong Kong Electric, which is under them, has been cutting off the power to my properties from time to time!"

Wu Feng was stunned upon hearing this, feeling it was quite absurd.

In his past life, he had indeed heard that high-end business wars were often plain and simple, and now he had finally seen it.

"Mr. Jiang, how did you react?"

"What else could I do? First, turn on the backup diesel generators, then negotiate with the other side!"

"Then what did the other side say? How long are they going to drag this out?"

"They didn't say anything, just claimed it was an issue with aging lines that required a long time to inspect, and that after the problem was found and the wires replaced, the power supply might be unstable in the meantime!"

When saying this, Jiang Tiansheng looked full of bad luck.

Damn it, with the Li family's Hong Kong Electric Group playing this hand, he really had no way to deal with it.

He couldn't just go straight to the television stations and newspapers to expose them; the effect probably wouldn't be great either.

"Then have you found out who wants to make things difficult for us?"

Wu Feng couldn't be bothered to comfort him and asked directly: "Is there any room for easing the situation?"

"Hmph, it was ordered personally by the eldest young master of the Li family!"

Jiang Tiansheng's face looked ugly, and he said unhappily: "I reckon this won't end without ten days or half a month of this torment!"

Speaking of this, he changed the subject: "A-Feng, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

According to his original intention, he wanted Wu Feng to ask Huo Daheng to step in.

But at this moment, he felt it was too much of a loss to ask Huo Daheng for this matter.

He had finally managed to leave a good impression in front of Huo Daheng, so he couldn't just waste it like this.

"Wait, let me make a phone call to ask first!"

Wu Feng didn't rush to speak, but instead called his confidant Li Xin directly.

It didn't take long before his expression also gradually became somewhat ugly.

Damn it, he truly lived up to being the eldest young master of the Li family; his actions were quite overbearing.

Not only was he cutting off power to Jiang Tiansheng's properties and shops from time to time, but the territories of Shanghai Street, Garden Street, and Tongcai Street under the Sai Kung Branch were also experiencing power cuts now and then.

He called Jing Kun to ask, and the situation on his side was about the same.

Damn, was this indiscriminate power cutting targeting the territories of Hong Xing?

Beside him, Jiang Tiansheng's face was also becoming increasingly ugly; Wu Feng hadn't avoided him while making the calls.

At first, he thought it was just targeting him, but now he understood that the other party was targeting the entire Hong Xing.

But what made him feel stifled was that he didn't know how to deal with such a thing.

Charging over to their door was impossible!

Hong Kong Electric Group was not something to be trifled with; it was a monopolistic resource enterprise in Hong Kong.

Don't look at how Li Bancheng controlled Hong Kong Electric Group; the real boss was the British ghost.

If one wanted to target Hong Kong Electric, one had to be prepared to be targeted by the Hong Kong British Government.

Wu Feng didn't mind, but he was afraid that Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin and the others didn't have the guts.

"Use the backup power supply to hold on for a while first!"

Knowing that this matter was hard to resist head-on, Wu Feng said directly: "Asia Television and the newspapers will follow up; let's wait until we build up the momentum of public opinion!"

"This is just too stifling!"

Jiang Tiansheng said gloomily: "I really wish I could give that eldest young master of the Li family a hard slap!"

Of course, he was only saying this in front of Wu Feng.

Wu Feng did have an idea that could make the Li family lose face, but the method was too underhanded, so he would avoid using it if possible.

"Mr. Jiang, leak the news of how much money we made from the lucky draw event we held last year to the other societies!"

On second thought, he had a new idea and said in a deep voice: "If other Big Brothers of the societies ask, don't admit it and don't deny it; let them guess for themselves!"

"A-Feng, what kind of idea is this?"

Jiang Tiansheng was somewhat reluctant; he understood the principle of not flaunting wealth better than anyone.

"Hehe, it's not that we can't directly go against Hong Kong Electric, it's just that we can find ways to make up for it elsewhere!"

Wu Feng smiled lightly; he had already made his point very clear, it just depended on whether Jiang Tiansheng was willing or not.

"Oh, if that's the case, then no problem!"

Jiang Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, his eyes full of sharpness.

After all, he was a Big Brother who had successfully come ashore; when had he ever suffered such indignity?

If there were a chance to take revenge, he would be willing to suffer some loss of interest.

"Haha, I certainly won't let Mr. Jiang be disappointed afterwards!"

Wu Feng said confidently: "For this matter, I will have to trouble Mr. Jiang to step in personally!"

He still had a football match to play on his side, so he had to see it through to the end at the very least.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed.

At this time, the Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup football tournament had reached a fever pitch and was about to begin the final match.

The entire Hong Kong and the Mainland's Guangdong Province were swept up by this football storm.

Television, newspapers, and magazines—if not all front-page hot news, were at least key news on the secondary pages.

The group stage and the round of sixteen were held here in Hong Kong, while the subsequent matches were held in the Mainland's Guangdong Province.

At the beginning, there were still empty seats in the stadiums, but as the tournament progressed, almost every match was packed.

Ticket sales alone brought in quite a lot, with hundreds of thousands in revenue per match, making the organizers grin from ear to ear.

It was fine in Hong Kong, as the place was small and the stadiums were not large.

Very few stadiums had more than ten thousand seats.

But the Mainland was different, with seats numbering forty or fifty thousand at every turn.

That scene of packed seats and spectators cheering to the heavens could absolutely make every player competing on the field feel their blood surging and their hearts burning with excitement.

Even so, for every match, there were still large crowds of spectators who hadn't bought tickets gathering outside the stadiums.

It could be said that the football market was incredibly hot during the tournament!

And Wu Feng was the most shining star of this tournament, bar none.

What is called being in the limelight?

Wu Feng's current situation was the best proof.

In just six matches, he had become the most famous football star in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province.

Eighteen goals in six matches, is that exaggerated or not?

In particular, these eighteen goals were almost all scored from long-range shots; he already had the title of "King of Heavy Artillery," deeply recognized by fans and spectators.

And after the tempering of six matches, Wu Feng's teammates had also grown alongside him.

At the very least, they no longer conceded goals during matches due to a lack of solid technical foundations, and they could barely execute the tactics Wu Feng required.

Even when playing an attacking game against strong football teams from Guangdong Province, they could suppress their opponents and hold the advantage; this could no longer be attributed solely to luck.

Even the "No-Striker" tactic that Wu Feng and his teammates played had become a hot topic of discussion among fans.

There were even professionals analyzing it in various ways on television programs and in newspapers, which gave Wu Feng the urge to laugh out loud, especially when some of the viewpoints were particularly bizarre.
