Chapter 0402 It's Not Good to Be Too Arrogant
Kaohsiung is the center of the southern part of the island, and the Sapphire Grand Cabaret, which opened in 1975, is the most famous show venue here.
In the context of economic take-off, the show is a form of entertainment culture that is very popular, among which Zhang Fei, Zhu Geliang, Xing Feng, Gao Lingfeng and Ni Minran are the most famous, and they are collectively known as "South Pig, North Zhang, Zhong Xingfeng, Gao Lingfeng Grass Flying, Ni Minran is in charge".
Among them, Zhu Geliang is one of the signboards of the Sapphire Grand Song Hall, and there are countless artists who come here to make money.
On this day, Yang Pankui, the head of the Northwest Gang, held a feast to celebrate the successful expansion of his industry into the film field.
The Northwest Gang was divided into two major factions -- the Pig Du Gang and the Eighteen Axe Gang, which were originally bounded by the Kaohsiung Canal and fought hard for several years for the brothel business, but they could not fight anymore after losing both sides, so they formed a bloody alliance and formed the "Northwest Gang" to jointly run the business along the Kaohsiung Canal.
Its sphere of influence ranges from Kaohsiung Railway Station, No. 2 Canal to the Sapphire Grand Song Hall on Bade Road, and controls the huge interests of pheasant carts, song hall package shows, and prostitutes.
Yang Pankui, who was imprisoned for murder but was released on parole in 1975, positioned himself far better than those big brothers who only knew how to slash and kill, that is, he did not join gangs, but controlled gangs with power, relied on local connections to participate in the distribution of local interests, and then dominated local factions and major gangs.
Because of its ability to control interest resources, its strength is naturally above that of gangs, and at the same time, it does not have any organizational name like gangs, so it often does not become the focus of being swept away.
I have to say that the horn head culture is also a feature of the treasure island. into the climatic horn _ head. The power is all over the black and white. It is not uncommon to cooperate with hundreds or even thousands of people.
Among them, there are even smarter ones, who not only minimize the activities of gangs, but also take the lead in fighting against local injustices with their personal tactfulness, and donate a part of their illegal proceeds to disadvantaged groups or public welfare groups to do good deeds, so as to win good reviews.
When they have enough ability to influence the percentage of votes in local elections, they will begin to be eligible to get close to political figures or forces. and even absorbed.
The mystery of this role change lies in the fact that the corner of the wide alliance did not join the gang on the surface, so there is no significant gangster color, and after the faction is absorbed, it is unlikely to cause bad comments from the outside world, and even because the world is as black as a crow, it is not easy to be targeted and caught by different forces.
After gaining political power, the shrewd corner will be able to coordinate local affairs on the condition that the interests of local projects are distributed, or that posts in various public administration units are installed after being elected. It has further united the local black and white forces.
In the original time and space, after the treasure island released various prohibitions. All kinds of black and gold political dramas are staged endlessly according to this routine.
Yang Pankui at this stage. Through the sapphire song hall, which is a gold cave, enough resources have been accumulated, and the business has been involved in real estate and aquaculture, and now it has extended its tentacles into the film industry, and its performance is enough to be worthy of the word excellent.
But it is precisely because of this that Yang Pankui, whose power has expanded dramatically, has a very arrogant style, and he has a complacent complex, jumping up and down in his chest.
"What do you say about the current slump in the film business, according to me, it's clear that the cast is insufficient." Yang Pankui tilted his neck, drained a glass of wine, and then slammed it on the table, "As long as the stars that the audience likes to watch are gathered together, I don't believe that there is no popularity." ”
……
"Brother Kui has a point."
"Maybe others can barely understand a little bit of this truth after spending three days and three nights, but they don't have the connections of Brother Kui, you know both black and white, and they can't learn if they want to."
"Brother Kui, which movie stars have you been looking for?"
……
A large group of men and women who surrounded Yang Pankui to beg for a living, including the show artists in the sapphire grand song hall, complimented and made fun of them.
"A friend gave me a message that Lin Qingbian had returned to Treasure Island, so I immediately sent someone to find her and directly settled the matter of acting." Hearing someone ask about celebrities, Yang Pankui replied triumphantly and casually.
"The first movie that Brother Kui invested in was able to invite a big star like Lin Qingbian, which is really amazing." Someone immediately exclaimed with great admiration.
The person who didn't grab the conversation hurriedly continued to ask, "In addition to Lin Qingfang, the other actors must also be very famous, right?" ”
"You've been with me for so long, and your horizons still need to be improved."
Yang Pankui condescendedly and raised his hand to look at the people present, "There are many benefits of making movies, in addition to earning box office, there are many other wonderful uses. Take the filming of "Pink Corps" this time as an example, a sum of money was invested, and many people called to say hello, wanting to praise a certain female artist, which is all human favor. ”
I have to say that Yang Pankui seems to have an addiction to being a good teacher. After more than 20 years in the original time and space, he evaluated the so-called "Jade Girl Red Star" on the screen as "all pretended", and taught female artists "You just need to show the fake side to the media, and put your true face at home".
"How can we compare with Kui Ge, there will always be only one big brother."
After everyone finished the worship gesture of looking up to the mountains, they inquired curiously, "I don't know what kind of role Brother Kui has prepared for Lin Qingbian, a big star?" ”
"Then I'll spoil it for you in advance, it's a female bandit, and it's a one-eyed dragon." Yang Pankui smiled, "It's an absolute gimmick, I don't believe it can't arouse the curiosity of the audience." ”
After a moment of silence at the table, all kinds of laughter rang out one after another, and many of them doubted, "Lin Qingbian is a big beauty who has been acting for more than ten years, would she be willing to play this one-eyed dragon female bandit with such a big contrast?" ”
Yang Pankui shook the cup in his hand and smiled confidently, "As long as I speak, there are still things that can't be done." ”
Everyone immediately realized in their hearts and chimed in: "Brother Kui's face is big. ”
It is noisy and noisy. A little brother stumbled in. The voice shouted out of tune, "Brother Kui." It's a big deal, a lot of cars came from outside, and we were surrounded here. ”
As soon as he heard this, Yang Pankui, who was originally a little drunk, fought a cold war smartly, and woke up more than half of his wine.
"Do you see who it is?" Yang Pankui hurriedly asked.
"Looks like someone from the Garrison Command." The younger brother stammered in reply.
After knowing this answer, Yang Pankui's back was soaked all of a sudden, and he said in his heart that he had always paid attention to local forces. But for this force from the military, even if you want to tie the knot, there is no way.
But the question is, how did you get targeted by the other party.
Yang Pankui had the intention to escape, but after hearing the rumbling cars outside and the sound of passwords one after another, he gave up, he was no longer an outlaw, and he couldn't ignore it anymore, and if he annoyed the other party. If you shoot you on the spot or shoot you indiscriminately, you have no place to reason. Any violation of the Suppression of Rebellion Act was nailed to death.
The others also noticed the sudden change in the situation, and the banquet, which was originally full of friends, was instantly as silent as death, with only the sound of heavy and panicked breathing.
Yang Pankui's brain was spinning rapidly, and he couldn't think of any way to deal with it for a while, so he had to call his most trusted little brother and secretly ordered, the other party nodded again and again, turned around and slipped in the direction of the bathroom.
As a team of heavily loaded soldiers broke in, Yang Pankui, who had a resume of "seeking wealth and danger", calmed down, got up to meet an officer who came over, and said with a smile: "Sir, I don't know what you have to do?" ”
"You are Yang Pankui?" The officer asked coldly while checking the photo in his hand.
"It's despicable." Yang Pankui nodded with a smile undiminished.
"You're very calm, and you deserve to be the famous head of the Northwest Gang, so come with us." As soon as the officer waved his hand, two soldiers immediately twisted Yang Pankui's arm.
At this time, Yang Pankui was still calm, and hurriedly explained, "Sir, have you misunderstood, I am a law-abiding businessman, and I opened the sapphire song hall." ”
"That's even more right, you've been so famous lately, so arrogant that it's hard to recognize it." There was a playful look on the officer's face.
As soon as he saw this expression, Yang Pankui chuckled in his heart, and asked secretly in his heart, is he arrogant?
Can't wait to come up with an answer, Yang Pankui hurriedly begged: "Sir, there must be a misunderstanding here, how about you let me make a call?" ”
"See, this is the autograph of General Chen Shoushan, commander-in-chief of the garrison headquarters, could it be that you plan to call the presidential palace?" The officer took the white glove and slapped Yang Pankui's cheek twice, "You better accept your fate, it should be an honor to let us move such a big battle to invite you." ”
Yang Pankui, who was hit repeatedly, looked desperate and was escorted out in despair.
The officer coldly glanced at the others present, "You and Yang Pankui are sitting at the same table, cheering and drinking, it seems that you are also from the Northwest Gang." ”
The people who were silent hurriedly shook their heads and denied it.
"We don't know that Yang Pankui has other identities, we just work for the company under his name."
"I'm the ...... of the Sapphire Grand Cabaret"
"I'm a ...... of a real estate company"
"I'm a ...... from a feed company"
……
"I'm the ...... of the finance company" The last person stumbled to confess his identity under the forced gaze of the officer.
"Good." The officer nodded, "Everyone according to the company affiliation you yourself say, the detachment is standing." ”
Seeing that everyone had completed the order, the officer continued: "I have evidence that the company under Yang Pankui's name has provided financial support for various underworld forces for a long time, and I hope you will cooperate with me and conduct a good search." ”
……
Women are very emotional, Tang Huan not only rushed from Japan to Treasure Island overnight, but also ran non-stop for her affairs for two days, even though Lin Qingbian was embarrassed to say it, but his heart was already moved.
In this case, Tang Huan naturally enjoyed boundless gentleness, and Lin Qingbian let go of his usual reserve and obeyed his requests.
But Tang Huan was still unsatisfied, he stroked Lin Qing's back, which was as smooth as silk but full of sweat, and sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, now my hand is not very convenient, can we save this benefit in the bank, and when my injury is healed, I will take it out and cash it out." ”
"Greedy ghosts who are not content." Lin Qingbian pinched Tang Huan in shame.
"It turns out that it is blessed and not enjoyed, and it will be invalid when it expires." Tang Huan shook his head in disappointment.
"You're still talking nonsense." After Lin Qingfang was coquettish, he couldn't help but laugh deliciously.
When he noticed that Tang Huan's hand was moving around again, Lin Qingbian hit it a few times, and then changed the topic and said: "Sister Chen will talk about the movie tomorrow, whether it is successful or not, you have to be polite, and you are not allowed to put on the shelf of a billionaire, she has a great kindness to me." ”
"I understand." Seeing Lin Qingfang so solemn, Tang Huan couldn't help but be a little funny, and slapped her buttocks casually.
After arguing for a while, Lin Qingbian asked softly: "How is that thing going, I don't know how to deal with that big bag of cash and scripts." ”
"The investors are all locked in, and it is estimated that the movie will not be made, so find an opportunity and return it to the director." Tang Huan replied disappretently.
"Ah, you arrested the other party?" Lin Qingfang, who didn't know Tang Huan's calculations at all, asked in surprise.
Anyway, the matter was almost done, so Tang Huan simply revealed some details to Lin Qingfang, so as not to make the other party feel uncertain and uneasy.
"It's not worth it to make such a big fuss just for this script." Lin Qingfang, who has always been kind to others, couldn't help but show worry on his face.
"I have my own plans, and whether it is worth it or not cannot be measured simply by the surface." Tang Huan yawned, "What's more, Yang Pankui is too arrogant, and it's aimed at you, it's not good, if you don't give him a painful lesson, you won't know what the rules are." ”
Tang Huan has something in his heart that has not yet been spoken, if he hadn't remembered the future in the original time and space, Yang Pankui's performance in the entertainment circle of Baodao might have use value, and he planned to eliminate this trouble humanely in a hundred ways, so as to prevent future troubles forever.
Seeing that Tang Huan was tired, Lin Qingbian thoughtfully did not ask, and after kissing it gently, he urged: "It's not early, go to sleep." ”
……
For the friends introduced by the enthusiastic Lin Qingbian in the middle, Qiong Yao was still very curious, and said in her heart whether the other party really had so much energy.
Of course, Qiong Yao, who is as smart as she is, can also guess that the relationship between Lin Qingfang and her friend is absolutely extraordinary.
After everyone met, Lin Qingbian's gentle gaze frequently looked at Tang Huan, which also confirmed Qiong Yao's speculation. (To be continued......)
