Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 396: Equal Kidnapping (please vote for me)

The next morning, the "South China Daily" published the news that Shao Zuiweng and Shao Cunren brothers were kidnapped. Since the Shaw brothers have been involved in the film industry for decades and are quite famous, it immediately caused a heated discussion. The amount of 10 million Hong Kong dollars It also set a record high on Hong Kong Island.

It is not uncommon for big bosses to be kidnapped these days, and citizens often just keep talking about it. When viewed as gossip news, it actually does not arouse much public opinion. If you try to make excuses, the coolie laborers and the wealthy people cannot empathize. , many people are gloating.

Shao Yifu was not so naive as to use newspapers and public opinion to force the police to rescue and release people. He only hoped that the news and public opinion would make He Dingxian have some scruples and recover the ransom in full by then, lest both people and money would be lost. Of course, Run Run Shaw knows very well that to make a transaction, you must have the corresponding chips in your hands. If you don't want to pay a financial price, you must hold people or things of the same price.

It's about ten o'clock.

He Dingxian read the newspaper, finished breakfast, and dialed the phone slowly: "Beep"

"Mr. Shao."

"I am He Dingxian."

Shao Zuiweng didn't sleep much last night and his eyes were a little red. But when he received the call, he perked up and asked quickly: "Sir He, is there any news?"

"Come out and talk."

He Dingxian invited: "Thirty minutes later, Chaofu Restaurant."

"No problem, He Sheng."

Shao Yifu opened his mouth to agree.

Half an hour later, at a tea table on the second floor of Chaofu Restaurant, Shao Yifu stood up respectfully to pour tea, handed the teacup and said, "Sir, my brother is in trouble."

"Mr. Shao, you're welcome."

He Dingxian sat on the chair and said with a half-smile: "This matter has made a big fuss in the news. The police force must do its best to fulfill its responsibilities. But after the kidnapper saw the news, he felt a little unhappy. He couldn't die with 10 million Hong Kong dollars." Relax."

"Sir, Mr. He, Shaw Brothers does have some family business, but 10 million Hong Kong dollars is an astronomical figure. Now it will take at least a month or two from selling the property to withdrawing cash. There are not many people willing to take over the theater chain." Shao Yifu said something. He tentatively said, "Unless Mr. He is willing to take over."

"Ha ha."

"How dare I take advantage of others' danger." He Dingxian laughed loudly: "However, my men have found the kidnapper's location for a long time, but the kidnapper is hidden in Haojiang. The Hong Kong police have no law enforcement power. If you want the police in Haojiang to take action, you need some procedures. fee."

The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce has no influence at all in Haojiang. Shao Yifu quickly asked: "How much do you want?"

"five million."

He Dingxian stretched out his hand and said: "If Mr. Shao is willing to pay, I can contact my friends to help save people. If Mr. Shao cannot get the cash, I can only go through legal procedures and ask the police to cooperate, but the final result will be Not necessarily.”

"You also know that Police Inspector Haojiang is rotten to the core. If you haven't received the money from this end, you can just collect the money from the other end."

Five million is less than half of ten million, but it is still a huge amount. However, the Shaw family's assets are at least tens of millions, including Nanyang Cinemas, sites, amusement parks, theaters on Hong Kong Island, and film companies. wait

Shaw Brothers' Shaw Brothers theater chain alone has an asset value of over 10 million.

"good."

"It takes five million to save the lives of my two brothers." Shao Yifu said, "It's worth it."

"When does Mr. He want the money?"

He Dingxian corrected: "I'm not asking for money, I'm helping you hand it over to the kidnappers!"

"It's best if it can be transferred to the Oriental Bank account in the afternoon, and I will transfer it to the people in Haojiang."

Shao Yifu did not hesitate: "No problem."

A rich man is a fat pig in front of a gun.

Shao Weimei was heartbroken and bleeding, but it was far easier to accept than 10 million.

He Dingxian took a sip of tea and said nothing, but Yan Xiong sat aside and interrupted at the right time: "Mr. Shao, my boss has helped you so much, why don't you say anything to express it?"

"Ah Xiong!"

He Dingxian looked displeased, put down his tea cup, glared at him and said, "Not polite!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Shao Yifu looked kindly and waved his hand: "What Mr. Yan said is reasonable and reasonable. In fact, even if he doesn't say it, we should still express something. If Mr. He can bring the criminal's body back, Shao is willing to donate another hundred Wan built a building for the police force.”

Building a building is just a way of saying it. The money is put into the police account. How much does a brick cost? How does the person in the finance department calculate it? At that time, they can make a lot of money by working together, and both parties will also gain fame.

The price is not low.

However, He Dingxian shook his head and said: "It is the duty of the police to help save people. Failure to intercept the criminal is already a dereliction of duty by the Hong Kong police. How can we accept Mr. Shao's benefits?"

"Sir, he is upright and upright, but he has to consider his brothers. Managing the police force also costs money." Shao Yifu said.

He Dingxian looked at Yan Xiong: "Axiong, if you want anything, tell Mr. Shao. Mr. Shao will definitely not refuse."

Shao Yifu also turned his attention to Yan Xiong, and Yan Xiong forced a smile: "Mr. Shao, I just want to open a film and television production company. I heard that you have a channel lease signed with Li's. I wonder if you can transfer it to me?"

"I'm willing to pay for it."

A gleam flashed in Shao Yifu's eyes, and he stared at Yan Xiong for a long time, and Yan Xiong looked at him without any hint of timidity. The two sides could be said to be at odds with each other. At this moment, he finally figured out He Dingxian's goal. It was because Shaw Brothers stole the rental contract from Oriental Pictures that it caused such big trouble.

To be honest, before Oriental Pictures came to look for Li's image, Shaw Brothers did not think of renting a TV channel. Although Shao Yifu has always been concerned about the TV license, he stopped thinking when he saw that the British company successfully obtained it.

Subsequently, the rental contract signed by Hu Oriental Pictures was indeed unreasonable, but there was no businessman or treacherous person. Before the contract was signed, everyone was qualified to negotiate.

Li's gave him the contract money because of the consideration of the company's senior management.

When Shao Yifu looked at Yan Xiong, He Dingxian was also staring at Shao Yifu. Shao Weimei did not expect that the kidnapping matter would involve the contract. Sitting beside him, he was a little dazed, but Yan Xiong burst out with a threatening word: " What, you don’t want to?”

"Ha ha."

Shao Yifu laughed twice and then said, "Sir Yan, is he still interested in TV production?"

"yes."

"I'm interested." Yan Xiong nodded with a fierce expression.

"good."

Shao Yifu agreed aloud: "Sir Yan is interested, I will definitely offer it with both hands. As long as my two brothers come back, the lease will be transferred to you for free."

Yan Xiong finally smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

"Sir, please." Shao Yifu looked at He Dingxian again, and He Dingxian nodded: "You're welcome, I should do it."

"I'll go back to raise money first, and I'll set up a table to thank you when it's over." Shao Yifu stood up, and He Dingxian waved his hand and said, "Send Mr. Shao a favor."

"Yes, sir."

Yan Xiong got up and saw it off.

After Shao Weimei followed Uncle Six into the car, he immediately said, "Uncle Six, why does Yan Xiong want the company's TV lease?"

"This is the work of the police force, which is to force me to hand over the lease." Shao Yifu said coldly: "Both the boss and the second brother suffered unreasonable disasters. You go to the Fengde to get the money, but don't be in a hurry. Send it over.”

"knew."

When Shao Weimei learned that the other party was not here for human life, he felt relieved. The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce's influence in the political circles is too weak. Not to mention the competition with Chaoshan people for the power of the police force, its power in the Department of Justice and the Government Affairs Bureau is somewhat stretched.

Not without.

But there is a certain gap with the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce. If the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce has not formed a group, the one-on-one disadvantage is not obvious. How can it defeat the behemoth of the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce now? Shao Yifu did not expect that He Dingxian would be able to complete the establishment of the chamber of commerce in half a year, so he punched him so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.

But Shao Yifu was not the type to stand and be beaten without fighting back. He returned to the Shanghai Guild Hall and immediately called Wu Aqing in Nanyang.

Wu Aqing received the call and said respectfully: "President Shao."

"Did you help tie up Jiang Tianyang for two hours?" Shao Yifu was very straightforward. Wu Aqing didn't know the current affairs in Hong Kong. He was surprised and thought for a moment and said: "Jiang Tianyang often attends public places with Wu Youdong recently. Where can I get it?" Investigate and try to tie up the person."

"good."

"It's done, I'll let Wu Hao take over your shift. If things don't go well, you don't have to come back." Shao Yifu hung up the phone, stood in front of the table and rubbed his temples. He was obviously very stressed. The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce is not without some power, especially after the successful investment of Lin Youfu, Yu Nanyang's control has doubled, and the momentum of Haiding Society has surpassed that of Yiqun Society. If Wu Aqing could tie Jiang Tianyang to his hands, it would be completely feasible to exchange it with He Dingxian.

Jiang Tianyang is an important chess piece of He Dingxian's plan in Nanyang. It is far more important than a TV station lease. The premise of equal transactions is equal strength. When Wu Aqing received the call from the big boss, he was even more excited. The last time he confronted Jiang Tianyang in the restaurant and was stepped on, Wu Aqing held his breath, but because he had to give priority to the interests of the society, he had to swallow his anger. Now that the big boss has personally ordered to take action against Jiang Tianyang, it is in the interests of the Labor Front and in line with the big boss's wishes, so he can give it a go.

What's more, the big boss's order was very measured. If Jiang Tianyang was kidnapped, it would definitely be used for negotiation instead of killing Jiang Tianyang. As long as Jiang Tian is alive, Yiqun Society will not be overturned, and the situation will be better controlled.

Wu Aqing quickly mobilized the most elite forces at hand and personally led the team out to do things. Shao Yifu did not tell anyone about the matter, and he was not afraid that the matter would be exposed. He Dingxian would quarrel with him. As long as the kidnapper wanted something in his hands, he would at least keep his life.

Singapore.

Chinatown, Chinatown.

Jiang Tianyang was wearing a suit and holding a mineral water fountain in his hand. He stood behind a billboard on a podium, using the shadow to block the sun. On the stage, Mr. Wu was giving a speech to canvass votes. In addition to supporting citizens passing by, there were also many club bodyguards in suits and elegant manners. Some of the people on the outside who were handing out leaflets were also club members.

At this time, Mr. Wu finished speaking a wave of ideas and shouting slogans, put down the loudspeaker, bowed and stepped down, came to Jiang Tianyang, very naturally took the bottle of water brought by Jiang Tianyang, and said with a smile: "Sheng Jiang, we will go together later. eat lunch?"

"OK."

Jiang Tianyang, wearing sunglasses and a Buddhist amulet hanging around his neck, agreed with a smile.

The last day of this month, the last hour, don’t waste it anymore, brothers.

thank you all.
