Chapter 143: Crisis
"The three crews who were playing yesterday were all disturbed by people on the road!" Wei Dongling recalled everything that happened yesterday and shouted angrily: "Those bastards, in the name of asking for protection money, actually started hurting people without saying a word. Now the three crews have injured a total of five people, two of whom are seriously injured! ”
"Two seriously injured ......" Xiao Ran dragged out the last word for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "What about the people of Lianying?" Didn't we pay them protection money? Now that someone has stepped on the line, they definitely have to come out! ”
As soon as this was mentioned, Wei Dongling scolded indignantly: "These bastards usually took our money, but now they are playing this game with us." Ghost Wang Dong is not in Hong Kong at all, or he is not in Hong Kong at all and does not dare to come out to see Liang Kun! ”
Xiao Ran closed his eyes again, conceiving all this in his mind. He knew very well that he only had prestige in the underworld, and he had no actual power at all. Now that the ghost king Dongyi has made a statement, I am afraid that there will be more people on the whole road who want to deal with his fat sheep.
As for the sudden change in Ghost Wang Dong's position, this was already in Xiao Ran's expectations. In his eyes, the underworld is rarely talked about together, most of them are fraud and darkness, and it is definitely not as beautiful as depicted in the movie. Secondly, he has no benefits for Ghost Wang Dong, so it is natural to maintain this relationship.
Suddenly, Xiao Ran remembered that Lin Qingxia also had a play, if the crew was disturbed, wouldn't it be ...... Thinking of this, the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down, and he hurriedly asked, "Is Qingxia okay?" ”
"She's fine!" Wei Dongling answered quickly on this question: "Liang Kun has investigated, and it was not the people of the three major societies who attacked the crew yesterday, it seems that it was the people of He Lesheng. However, I really don't understand, why didn't the three major societies react at all when they stepped on the line so obviously? ”
Hearing that Lin Qingxia was fine, Xiao Ran's heart hanging in his throat immediately fell back to its original position, which calmed down his emotions and continued to think about unfinished questions. Judging from the attitudes of the three major societies, it is likely that they have been changed by external forces, but what exactly made them change their attitudes?
The first thing Xiao Ran thought of was Fang Ruohai, but he knew very well that Fang Ruohai looked down on the underworld, and it was theoretically impossible to be established. Could it be Golden Harvest? If Golden Harvest definitely has enough strength to make the three major associations change their attitudes.
Is it still necessary to use force? Xiao Ran smiled bitterly. He had asked Guan Xin before, and if necessary, Guan Xin would not help him kill someone. At that time, Guan Xin had just received the order to assist Xiao Ran from above, and after only thinking about it, he said that he could do it.
At that time, the reason why Xiao Ran asked this question was nothing more than to get rid of the heads of the three major societies in one fell swoop and help his own people to take the position. But at that time, Scar had not yet ascended to power, and Ah Biao had not yet been released from prison, that is, he had become the head of the three major societies, and it was difficult for him to control the underworld.
But now, Xiao Ran's intuition told him that if he didn't suppress it by force, he might be difficult to suppress the scene. He believed that the three major societies were waiting to see if he could solve such a matter personally, and if not, the three major societies would no longer have any fear, and would immediately fall to the secret enemy.
Xiao Ran is not a pacifist, but he is not a person who likes violence. He believes that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans use their brains to deal with everything, while animals rely on intuition and natural surnames. However, if it is really necessary to use force this time, Xiao Ran will definitely not object, even if Guan Xin and they are unwilling to do it, he still has Lin Yongmai in his hands.
Things are really quite complicated, Wang Yang, plus the things on the underworld, Xiao Ran began to wonder if it was the mastermind behind the scenes who had planned it for a long time. In fact, Xiao Ran still has a certain heart problem with the three major clubs, that is, in terms of film distribution, Xiao Ran resolutely refuses to release the films of the film companies of the three major clubs. In fact, none of their films are very good, no wonder few studios are willing to ask for them.
Of course, it is not that Xiao Ran deliberately can't get along with the three major clubs, but he definitely doesn't want to see gangsters intervene in the film industry. You must know that the Hong Kong movies of that year were destroyed because of this reason. Because of the underworld's meddling in the film industry, its rampant is absolutely unimaginable.
is like the sentence Liu Hua said when he asked his subordinates to engage in piracy in "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes": "If you can't shoot clearly, go and rob it, you are the underworld!" "In the 90s, gangsters were even so rampant that they openly sent people to the cinema to grab copies of movies, which shows how rampant they were.
It's not very good now, but after Xiao Ran appeared, at least indirectly forced the Hong Kong British political axe to adopt a strategy and collapse many underworld companies by means of account audit. Therefore, although there are still a few underworld elements in the circle, the vast majority of them are very regular. Only the companies of the three major societies are completely run by the underworld, and Xiao Ran must get rid of them.
was thinking about it, and was suddenly woken up by the phone ringing, it was Wei Dongling's eldest brother ringing. Wei Dongling took the phone, only listened for a while, and his face suddenly changed greatly. I saw him turn off the phone with a sad and angry expression and said in a deep voice: "Lying in Guanghe Hospital, one of them has just died!" Moreover, the company's warehouse where the equipment was put was robbed of about 10 million worth of equipment! ”
Xiao Ran's heart seemed to be choked by someone, and he suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe. He took a deep breath, expelled anger and other negative emotions and said to Sunshine: "Don't tell me yet, go to Guanghe Hospital!" Adong, give me the phone! ”
After receiving the phone from Wei Dongling, Xiao Ran dialed the phone number of Lin Qingxia's house, and heard the phone ring a few times, but still no one came to answer, and his heart was once again hanging. It wasn't until there was a slight sound on the phone that Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Qingxia's voice came from the phone: "Who is it?" ”
"Qingxia, it's me!" For some reason, hearing Lin Qingxia's voice, Xiao Ran felt all the negative emotions floating out of his body: "You rush to Guanghe Hospital immediately, I will wait for you there." ”
Turning off the phone, Xiao Ran didn't say anything more, all this didn't seem serious, but he knew very well that if he didn't deal with it in time, he was afraid that it would be a big trouble. If you want to really control the underworld, it depends on the moment in front of you.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling saw at a glance that the family members were crying beside the bedside. He took a few steps forward, gently held the mother of the deceased, and said softly: "Auntie, don't be sad, we will definitely catch the murderer." ”
This old lady knew Xiao Ran, and looked at Xiao Ran tremblingly and cried: "Boss Xiao, my son was killed by those beasts like this, you must be the master for him......"
Xiao Ran opened the white cloth and turned his head after just one glance, he died a desolate death, and at least more than ten knives were slashed on his chest and back, and the other party was really ruthless. As soon as this thought came to mind, he comforted: "Don't worry, our funeral for your son will be done in a beautiful way, and he will not die in vain." Yuxuan, go to the finance department tomorrow to get 500,000 yuan for them, which is regarded as the company's settlement fee for them. ”
Walking out of the room, Wei Dongling shook his head bitterly and said, "The deceased's name is Zhang Fanxiu, and the person I admire the most is you." He is a gaffer, originally worked in Golden Harvest, and then started work with us! ”
After walking a few steps, Xiao Ran looked ahead and was stunned, Lin Qingxia's strong but somewhat weak body was more than ten meters away. The worry in Xiao Ran's heart disappeared, and he couldn't help but step forward and hug her heavily: "It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay......"
"What the hell is going on?" Just looking at Lin Qingxia's expression, it was clear that she didn't know the whole thing: "I thought you were injured!" Of course I'm fine. ”
Rubbing her nose, Wei Dongling told Lin Qingxia about the matter, and she was so shocked that her face was pale: "What should we do now?" ”
"There's always a way!" Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, he was still very confused. It's not enough to settle this matter, and you still need to get the main messenger behind the scenes. After thinking about it, he said: "You can't rely on the police for this matter, just report them roughly." ”
Who did it? Xiao Ran thought about it, he only had two enemies, Fang Ruohai and Yang Qi, and as for Wang Yang, he was not qualified at all. According to Yang Qi's methods, it is possible that he did it. But Xiao Ran couldn't find any reason, Yang Qi wanted to play his own reason.
Suddenly, Xiao Ran's aura flashed, and he figured out the key to this. What can change the attitudes of the three major communities? There is only one possibility, and that is profit. There are many interests, but to deal with the phantom in this way is to say that this is a matter within the circle.
There is only one possibility, someone gave the three major societies a promise, or simply promised to release the films of the three major societies in the future. And in this way, the three major societies have opened their doors to the film industry, and they can also make a lot of money while the black money is laundered. If it was Xiao Ran, he had no reason to refuse such a benefit.
Who is the person or company that has the strength to give them the promise and make them all believe? In addition to Phantom, Golden Harvest is the only one in Hong Kong that has the distribution power in Southeast Asia and even Europe and the United States. As for Debao, it can only be regarded as a large production company at all.
Although Tianluo and Haile plan to move closer to the distribution side, due to the lack of strong and powerful works, they have not yet been able to fully open the distribution market. Therefore, only Golden Harvest, in addition to Golden Harvest, it is difficult for other companies to have such strength.
"Golden Harvest! Golden Harvest! Xiao Ran muttered to himself, this is a difficult old tree. Golden Harvest's investment in other industries is not high, and it is difficult to force it into a desperate end in this regard. Moreover, Golden Harvest is not listed at all, and it is difficult to seek a breakthrough in the stock market.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran turned his head and asked Wei Dongling, who was sitting next to him: "Adong, if we want to deal with Jiahe, then how should we force it to death?" ”
"It's hard, it's very hard! Its industry is quite fixed, and its strategy is very steady. With at least a billion in liquid capital in hand, it's good that we don't lose to them. Wei Dongling thought about it and told Xiao Ran very frankly that it was impossible, and then woke up: "You mean that Jiahe did this thing?" ”
"I suspect it's Golden Harvest, but there is still a lack of sufficient evidence!" Xiao Ran really didn't dare to be sure, these things were difficult to determine before there was no evidence: "Does it really take ten years to push the Dao Jiahe Empire?" Couldn't be faster? ”
Wei Dongling confirmed Xiao Ran's statement in a very resolute tone: "It is absolutely impossible, most of the equity of Jiahe is in the hands of Zou Wenhuai, as long as he does not sell, there is nothing that can be done about him." However, I don't think it looks like Golden Harvest did it. ”
"No matter who did it...... Xiao Ran paused slightly, and said lightly: "I'm going to scrape him out!" Master, are you ready? ”
"Everything is fine, now I just wait for your words!" Guan Xin shrugged his shoulders and replied indifferently. For him, such a thing really did not arouse much interest. I saw him pick up the phone and dial a call, and nodded to Xiao Ran: "Go to the warehouse!" ”
After instructing Sunshine to change course, Xiao Ran didn't speak again, but closed his eyes and thought quietly. Don't see that he is calm on the outside, but his heart is turning upside down. As early as after the shooting, he knew that the underworld had to be controlled, and at least he had to show his strength to tell them what he could and couldn't mess with.
Therefore, for this reason, he put forward a request to Guan Xin: to help recruit retired soldiers in the mainland. The identity of the villain in "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" used to be a Chinese [***] person, although it is fictional, there is also artistic exaggeration. However, Xiao Ran still knows very well that the soldiers who have just experienced the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam are definitely very strong, and this is what he needs.
After Guan Xin reported this, the boss did not react to this, that is, he acquiesced. Anyway, Xiao Ran doesn't want a lot, and there are only twenty-five people at present. This group of people was arranged by Guan Xin, Xiao Ran had only seen them once, and they all prepared good treatment for this respectable soldier, but it was easy to gain the favor of the soldiers.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Ran is not a group of helpers prepared for the Hong Kong underworld, but for Hollywood. The world knows that the Italian mafia is very close to Hollywood, and even once swallowed up a giant company like MGM. Without such a group of armed forces to protect himself, he may find it difficult to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
It's just that Xiao Ran never expected that Hollywood hadn't gone yet, but he had to do a vote in Hong Kong first. However, Xiao Ran wanted such a batch of force, definitely not to fight and kill, but to protect his achievements from harm.
This time, he really didn't want to use these people, but at the moment, it seemed that there was little hope. Before coming to the warehouse, the police were already investigating the scene, including two acquaintances, Xing Jiafeng and Liu Guanglu. Even if Liu Guanglu appears here, the criminal family style also appears here, which is inevitably a little strange.
