Chapter 303: Everything Requires a Backer!
"Wu Feng, you've certainly caused me quite a bit of trouble!"
At Jiang Tiansheng's large villa with a swimming pool, under a parasol by the open-air pool, he and Wu Feng were chatting and laughing in low voices; the atmosphere was quite relaxed and pleasant.
In the large pool, Jiang Tiansheng's new girlfriend was frolicking in the water like a mermaid.
From time to time, she would surface from the water near the parasol and gaze at Jiang Tiansheng with affection; the air was permeated with a cloying, ambiguous scent.
Wu Feng turned a blind eye to this, acting as if this person didn't exist at all.
Ahem, he had long known Jiang Tiansheng's new girlfriend.
She was none other than that person from the movies, Fang Ting, who started out in erotic films!
Of course, the current Fang Ting was very different from the situation in the movies.
She had indeed signed with Jing Kun's Qiankun Film and Television Company and was a promising newcomer being heavily promoted.
To promote her, Jing Kun even had her participate in the first "Beauty Pageant," where she achieved a top-ten finish, gaining quite a good reputation before she had even officially debuted.
Afterward, she received strong cultivation from Qiankun Film and Television!
First, she played supporting roles in the mature dark-themed film series of Qiankun Film and Television, then moved on to lead roles in ordinary small-to-medium budget films, rising to fame step by step.
It was just that, clearly, Fang Ting seemed to lack a bit of "star luck"!
In over half a year, she had participated in the filming of three movies, but the response was not particularly significant, and her fame was only around that of a third-tier celebrity.
Jing Kun didn't say anything, but he did reduce the level of investment in Fang Ting.
Fang Ting sensed something was wrong and immediately made up her mind to change.
After all, having seen the prosperity, she didn't want to go back to being an ordinary pretty girl at all.
She took the initiative to apply to the company, expressing her willingness to film erotic movies!
Qiankun Film and Television Company's erotic films had also built up quite a resounding reputation by this time.
There was no other reason; it was simply that the erotic films produced by Qiankun Film and Television Company all had complete stories, and the plotlines were quite exciting—this was the highlight.
Otherwise, with so many film companies in Hong Kong shooting erotic films, why was Qiankun Film and Television's reputation growing larger and larger, even showing signs of becoming unique?
It was also because she knew the company was skilled at shooting erotic films and didn't have those messy, chaotic issues that Fang Ting dared to take a gamble; this time, she won the bet.
The erotic film in which she was the absolute lead actress was a huge success, and her own fame rose rapidly.
When participating in the "Beauty Pageant," Fang Ting already understood the principle that fame equals traffic, and traffic equals money; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the courage to take such a gamble.
Once she became a famous erotic star in Hong Kong, all kinds of advertising offers and product endorsement invitations poured in; for a time, she was counting money until her hands went soft.
Fang Ting had made a name for herself, and Qiankun Film and Television Company naturally wouldn't be polite; in less than half a year, they struck while the iron was hot and filmed three more erotic movies with her as the lead actress, all of which had impressive box office results.
By now, Fang Ting had completely blown up.
Although the title of "erotic star" didn't sound good, she had already become a top-tier second-tier female celebrity.
In the genre of erotic films, she had even reached the level of a first-tier female celebrity.
Her exposure and income increased significantly in a short period, and she easily became one of the pillars of Qiankun Film and Television Company.
As the boss of the film and television company, Wu Feng still knew a thing or two about these matters.
As for more detailed information, it was revealed voluntarily by that guy Jing Kun when he was chatting with him about the film industry.
It was also because of this that Wu Feng had an impression of Fang Ting!
It was just unclear when Jiang Tiansheng had taken a fancy to her, and how he had managed to hook up with her.
It is estimated that in order to persuade Jing Kun to relax his control over Fang Ting, Jiang Tiansheng must have conceded some benefits.
Seeing Fang Ting, who was as bright and eye-catching as a mermaid in the large pool, Wu Feng felt very emotional.
Unknowingly, the time was already approaching for the start of the "Young and Dangerous" movie.
However, the Hong Kong underworld at this time was very different from the one in the "Young and Dangerous" movie.
It is estimated that it would be unlikely for Chen Haonan and his brothers to rise to power as they did in the movie plot.
Of course, there were plenty of opportunities within Hung Hing at this time; as long as Chen Haonan and his brothers performed well, they wouldn't have to worry about a lack of opportunities to get ahead.
The many halls in Hong Kong, the gambling ships in the waters of Siam, Malaysia, and the Philippines, as well as the new halls in the prosperous cities of Southeast Asia, all required a large number of elite fighters to fill their ranks.
As long as one truly had the ability and dared to fight and strive, it was not a difficult task to get ahead.
……
"Mr. Jiang, this time I've given you a great opportunity to sell a favor!"
Wu Feng chuckled, not reacting negatively at all to Jiang Tiansheng's sudden remark.
He certainly knew what Jiang Tiansheng meant.
Because the news that he had made a fortune in the Japan stock market had been exposed, it had attracted many wealthy people in Hong Kong to follow suit.
Among them, naturally, there was no shortage of Dragon Heads and bosses of the triads.
These guys held a significant amount of capital in their hands; it was definitely not a small number. It was just that much of it couldn't see the light of day and needed to be laundered through various methods before it could be used boldly and confidently.
If they could enter the Japan stock market, any money earned would be clean.
It still comes back to that saying: which wealthy person wouldn't be jealous of being able to fleece Japan?
They each sought their own paths, hoping to get on Wu Feng's line and get rich along with him.
Unfortunately, Wu Feng wouldn't budge at all, and the Hall Masters within Hung Hing were no exception.
He pushed all these impatient guys onto Jiang Tiansheng.
Jiang Tiansheng had been tipped off in advance and had opened several financial companies specifically to handle the large sums of money sent by the Dragon Heads and bosses of various triads to participate in Japan's stock market investments.
It wasn't just the Tung Sing Dragon Head Luotuo who wanted to hitch a ride.
The Dragon Heads and bosses of other top-tier Hong Kong triads, as well as the Big Brothers of various factions, were all very attentive.
Jiang Tiansheng was receiving so much money that he felt panicked, which led to the opening remark.
"You mean to say that currently, following the investment in the Japan stock market is basically a sure win with no losses?"
Jiang Tiansheng reacted immediately, and the look he gave Wu Feng was full of shock.
"More or less!"
Facing Jiang Tiansheng's incredulous gaze, Wu Feng explained softly: "The Europe and America financial groups are nearing the time for a complete harvest, so naturally, they won't let the stock market experience too many fluctuations!"
"If the retail investors are scared away, how can they be harvested cleanly in one go?"
Wu Feng said coldly: "Of course, if one is too greedy and plays too big, using fifty or even a hundred times leverage at every turn, then the possibility of problems arising is very high!"
"Therefore, Mr. Jiang needs to make it clear to those Dragon Heads and bosses beforehand: twenty times leverage at most. If they want more, let them operate it themselves!"
"But even so, the expected returns are still exaggerated!"
Jiang Tiansheng exclaimed: "For those Dragon Heads and bosses, there certainly hasn't been a time to make such big, clean money. It's really a bargain for them!"
"Letting them take advantage is still better than letting the Europe and America financial groups eat everything up!"
Wu Feng sneered: "Judging by the actions of HSBC and other foreign banks from Europe and America in Hong Kong, they don't want us Chinese capital to participate at all, so we naturally have to find opportunities to squeeze in!"
"It's as if Japan hasn't sucked blood from Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and other places during its thirty years of rise—what absolute nonsense!"
"This, this, this... then can we invest a bit more?"
Jiang Tiansheng didn't care about all that; he only knew that Wu Feng was very optimistic about the Japan stock market and even explicitly stated that the Japan stock market would continue to rise, at least in the short term.
Otherwise, how could one earn profits steadily?
"For this matter, Mr. Jiang needs to ask the banks providing the leverage services clearly in advance!"
Wu Feng said in a deep voice: "If the investment is too large and the profit is too high, can it be withdrawn?"
"You mean, if we earn too much, Japan won't let the money be transferred out?"
Jiang Tiansheng was taken aback and said in disbelief: "That's impossible, right? That would be too damaging to their credibility!"
"Compared to the benefits of billions of Dollars, which is more important: so-called credibility?"
Wu Feng sneered and retorted: "Not to mention, you are still a foreign investor!"
"The most fatal thing is the Chinese identity; it cannot deter Japan!"
"If it were a speculator with a background from a country in Europe and America, or an Europe and America financial group, I reckon there wouldn't be so many worries!"
Speaking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "A weak nation has no diplomacy; some situations might differ, but the nature remains the same!"
"Mr. Jiang, do you think Japan cares about the voice of Hong Kong?"
"This, they certainly wouldn't care!"
Jiang Tiansheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said dejectedly: "It seems that even investing in the Japan stock market is not such a simple matter!"
Yet in his heart, he was extremely unwilling; there was clearly such a good opportunity, but because there was no support from a powerful national force behind him, he could only watch the opportunity slip away.
In fact, when strength and financial resources reach his level, one more or less comes into contact with struggles at the national level.
It was just that his level of participation was insufficient, so he hadn't felt it clearly.
"It's not that there is no opportunity, it's just that Mr. Jiang probably won't be willing to try!"
Wu Feng smiled lightly: "We can't borrow the strength of Hong Kong, but we might be able to borrow the momentum of the Mainland!"
"Facing the Mainland, Japan wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "To put it plainly, what the world values in the end is still the fist!"
"This..."
Jiang Tiansheng was indeed hesitant, not knowing how to choose for a moment.
In fact, he was also somewhat skeptical: even if they cooperated with the Mainland, would they have the certainty to safely bring back the money earned from the Japan stock market in the end?
Wu Feng didn't find it strange; in this era, let alone the Hong Kong people who had been fooled into a limp, even many people in the Mainland didn't know how strong their own military strength and deterrent power were.
"Then invest a little less!"
Wu Feng proposed: "Don't exceed two hundred million Dollars. Follow behind the Europe and America financial groups and eat some leftovers and scraps; you can still earn quite a bit!"
"For now, this is all we can do!"
Jiang Tiansheng nodded gloomily, his mood still unable to lift.
But soon, he adjusted himself and asked with a smile on his face: "A-Feng, when do you think it is most appropriate for our football team in Europe to come over?"
