Chapter 252: Lust for Power

readx;

The Secretary for Justice asked impatiently: "Governor, just tell us what you want us to do." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Don't, I can warn you, don't try to knock down the Phantom! ā€

Seeing that everyone else nodded at this, Chris Patten frowned, he knew that Xiao Ran's power was great, but he didn't expect that even this group of people could influence. After thinking about it, he thought that as long as he could do this, he would definitely be able to get a commendation from above, and immediately smiled happily: "ATV is seeking a license for next year, and we can find a reasonable reason not to issue it." ā€

"It can't be!" The person in charge of the Chief Secretary immediately stood up and glared at the damn Governor with an angry face: "ATV meets the requirements in any respect, and it has been complained about the least number of times in Hong Kong television, and we have no reasonable reason to refuse to issue it!" ā€

"You're in charge, there's always a way!" Patten shook his hand impatiently, and the person in charge of the political secretary sat down stupidly and kept scolding in his stomach, so he naturally didn't mention it. Patten thought about it for a while, looked at the Secretary for Justice and said with a dark smile: "You immediately draft an anti-monopoly law for the film industry, and I want to separate the exhibition industry from the distribution and production industry!" ā€

The Secretary for Justice nodded silently, his predecessor was almost forced to step down because of Xiao Ran's career. If Xiao Ran hadn't let them go, I'm afraid they would have made a fool of themselves. There is a reason for the anti-monopoly law of the film industry this time, at least he is luckier than the chief secretary.

Patten moved his gaze to the face of the Secretary for Security with satisfaction, and the next thing is the biggest killer who will disintegrate Xiao Ran's personal power: "I want you to cooperate with the Department of Justice's anti-monopoly law when it is launched, and launch the largest anti-gang operation in history, so as to dismantle Xiao Ran's underworld forces." ā€

Li Qingning almost didn't jump up, what the hell, can the Hong Kong gangsters sweep it away? Going against Xiao Ran, the godfather of the underworld, is not a dead end. Patten smiled mysteriously: "When the time comes, there will be people in the gangsters who should cooperate with the outside, and then they can fully crack down on Xiao Ran's arrogance!" ā€

Fuck you arrogance! Li Qingning couldn't wait to cut off Patten. Xiao Ran treats people normally, I don't know how much he is a friend, and the money donated to the police to solve difficulties in the past few years alone has been hundreds of millions. But in any case, there is no way to change this fact, can it?

In the middle of the night, Wei Dongling is now at home, perhaps rather in the workshop, which is very tight, and sometimes even his live-in girlfriend is not allowed to enter. Li Jiaxin asked the maid to come outside the workshop with a bowl of soup, and then looked at Wei Dongling with a smile and said, "Adong, drink the soup." I don't know what you're up to in there, and I won't even be allowed to come in! ā€

For several nights in a row, Wei Dongling worked here until one o'clock in the middle of the night before resting. This made Li Jiaxin very curious, and finally, in this afternoon, not long after Wei Dongling left, she finally opened the door with the matching key.

Of course, Li Jiaxin has been to this room, but he usually only sees some ordinary documents and materials, and it is obviously not as mysterious as now. Curiously, she rummaged through the room for a while, and finally found a very tight safe. She also had the key to the safe, but she didn't have the code.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally thought of a number, and immediately lost it. Only a slight click was heard, and the safe door opened. Li Jiaxin suddenly felt a sense of happiness, because this password was her birth number.

There was nothing in it, just a big stack of files. She held the documents on the table and began to browse them, flipped through them, and saw a folder called Politician Materials, opened it and looked at it, and immediately her face changed dramatically. At the top of the list is the information of Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten, which not only introduces the life of this guy, but also has another information, which is about what this guy has done immoral and illegal records.

Looking down further, the more I looked, the more frightened I became, and when I saw that I was trembling all over my body at the end, my face turned white. These documents are so rich and involved that Li Jiaxin can't even imagine how much work it takes to collect them.

Finally, she saw what Wei Dongling had been busy with for the past few days. It was a plan, a very insidious plan. If it is really implemented, I am afraid that many people will be dragged down, and the ruling party in Britain will definitely be in big trouble.

Just as she was trembling and almost falling, a pair of large hands held her body, which had become stiff with fear. She was even more shocked, and her whole body jumped up, only then did she see that it was Wei Dongling staring at her with an extremely serious expression. The two looked at each other silently here for a long time, and Li Jiaxin finally couldn't help but apologize in a low voice: "I'm sorry ......"

"Are you going to leak this stuff out?" Wei Dongling scolded harshly, if he could, he would never treat Li Jiaxin like this. But these things are really important, some of them are provided by the National Security Bureau, and some of them are obtained by the Phantom himself, and they are all materials that the Phantom needs to access on the road to development.

"Of course not!" Li Jiaxin trembled, she had never seen Wei Dongling's stern expression, and she was naturally frightened at this time: "Absolutely not ......"

"Then it's fine! I believe you. Wei Dongling suddenly relaxed and smiled softly: "I didn't scare you just now, did you?" Li Jiaxin breathed a sigh of relief, but was held in his arms by Wei Dongling, thinking of Fang Cai's password, the taste of being loved was even sweeter.

Guan Xin is finally gone! Liang Kun's mood is finally happy now, Guan Xin left, then he is the only one who controls the Hong Kong underworld. Don't ask him why he's suddenly so enthusiastic about it now, because he finds this kind of power to indulge in all things intoxicating and obsessive.

Because of Guan Xin's strong control, the underworld has been very obedient. Liang Kun couldn't help but smile proudly, as long as he could control the underworld, he would have the qualifications to talk to the Hong Kong governor on an equal footing in the future. Every year, the huge profits of the underworld will make him quickly have a lot of wealth, which is better than working with Xiao Ran.

Several right-hand men looked at the eldest brother and smiled knowingly, Liang Kun thought for a while, and quickly came up with a plan to control the underworld: "Ah Xiong, Ah Worm, you each take a team of people to grasp the whereabouts of Guan Xin's internal responses, as long as it's time to do it, you will catch them all, and someone will cooperate with you at that time." However, whether it can be killed or not, if you can attract those retired soldiers, it is definitely a good thing. ā€

"I'll talk to the halls of several major clubs in the next few days...... Liang Kun was so proud that he almost laughed, and ordered a clever young man: "When the time comes, you will be responsible for the contact with them, and there will be no leaks." ā€

I ordered some more things, and I saw that my men had left. Liang Kun finally couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I really disappointed your hard work." However, I am also a human being, and I also have hopes, you must understand me! ā€

If Xiao Ran was in Hong Kong, or just went to the United States for a few days, then Liang Kun knew that he would never have the courage to betray, and the major associations would never have the courage to betray. Even if Guan Xin, who was called cold-blooded, didn't leave, they definitely wouldn't dare.

However, Xiao Ran went to the United States, and he had to stay for at least a month or two. And Guan Xin also went to the UK, and before leaving, he explained a lot of things, and at a glance, he knew that he must be going for a long time. In this way, Liang Kun knew that his opportunity had come, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Xiao Ran didn't mention it, it was he who subdued the major societies back then. And Guan Xin, who succeeded Xiao Ran, was even more frightening to the major clubs, and Liang Kun even remembered very clearly that once the boss of a club died, and the two leading horses were fighting for territory. Guan Xin ordered them to stop, but the two idiots showed no sign of stopping.

The next day, the two horses became two floating corpses and became the homicide investigated by the police, and both groups of people were broken that night. Guan Xin's methods are not cruel, but they are definitely very ruthless, this is not the only time, after it happened many times, this makes the major associations careful not to anger him again.

In many cases, the major associations even miss the period when they were ruled by Xiao Ran very much, at that time Xiao Ran was very tolerant of them, and there was almost no such means as Guan Xin, which can be called indulgence. Therefore, Guan Xin is definitely a nightmare for the major associations, and now that Guan Xin is gone, Liang Kun's chance!

Why did Liang Kun betray Xiao Ran? When he discovered his power, he once asked himself. The answer he gave himself was very simple, after all these years of indulgence in the underworld, he tasted the joy of power, especially the kind of taste that the major associations humbly asked him to intercede because they offended Guan Xin. He wanted to personally grasp the taste of life and death, just like Xiao Ran's control of Yu Wang.

It doesn't matter if it's despicable or shameless. Liang Kun told himself that at least he was very grateful to Xiao Ran, and if it wasn't for Mr. Xiao, he would definitely not be able to get today's status. In fact, he was not worried about what Xiao Ran would do to him after he lost control of the underworld, and if he lost the underworld, Xiao Ran would only be left with a security company.

And at that time, he had already controlled the entire underworld, and there were many people who protected him. There's no need to be afraid, even though it's still quite risky, but he thinks it's definitely worth it, for the sake of power. Moreover, he has a very powerful ally.

Sitting on the leather chair, he shook it gently, and said fiercely: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, you have made a lot of money, and you don't care about the underworld, it's better to let your brother take over!" ā€

In a happy mood, he sang a big drama proudly: "The country is like that painting......"

Guan Xin's progress in the UK is quite smooth, in fact, this single thing should not be done by him. However, he always felt that Liang Kun had a problem, and thought that after he left, if Liang Kun had any problems, it would definitely be exposed. Moreover, there are really some things in Britain that are inseparable from him, but he is basically only responsible for one side, and in terms of public relations, it is the person appointed by Wei Dongling to be in charge.

In the past few days, they have met many people one after another, and they have achieved considerable results. Some green organizations and opposition parties are even more eager to embrace this brother from Hong Kong, but Guan Xin is not used to it. In this regard, he admires his partners very much, and when he sees people talking about people, he talks nonsense, and dealing with these politicians is simply amazing.

On September 1, the mainland's final revision of film and culture finally came into effect. The Phantom and the Big Three, as well as the Met, have obtained distribution licenses. On the same day, the film company announced that it would invest 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in the mainland to acquire, renovate or build 500 cinemas, and the other four companies also announced that they would invest in the construction of 150 cinemas in the mainland.

At the same time, the real estate company under the power company announced that it will increase the real estate investment of 10 billion, of course, this move is aimed at matching the cinema. As we all know, modern cinemas are basically in large shopping malls, and the two prosper each other and benefit each other.

Of course, the trade and sales company, which also belongs to Dongli, also announced that it will increase trade sales to the mainland. If you don't know how to take the opportunity to occupy the market, then you are really stupid. And such a large market is obviously not a power to take, so Cheung Kong also announced some investment and sales, indirectly cooperating with the investment in cinemas to earn the market for itself.

Also on this day, in the United States, Blockbuster accepted the acquisition, only waiting for official approval. On the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Ran was giving a face-to-face lecture to the two supervisors responsible for the release of "Jurassic Park". One of them is from the Phantom Distribution Department, and the other is of course local.

While talking, Huang Ling rushed into the office and said to Xiao Ran, who didn't know whether to be happy or worried: "Mr. Xiao, the United States officially approved this acquisition, and we succeeded!" But ......"

Xiao Ran almost didn't laugh, what he was most worried about was the official US card. Now it seems that Ge Wenqiu's efforts and activities have not been in vain, and all the previous arrangements are worth it. Holding back his joyful expression, he asked, "But what?" ā€

"But ......" Huang Ling hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to disturb Xiao Ran's interest at this time: "But Warner, Disney and Sony, have already released their words through associations such as the Actors Guild and the Directors Guild, refusing to accept Universal's play!" Moreover, it is said that they are planning a demonstration. ā€

Demonstrations? It's a novelty! Xiao Ran couldn't help but be happy. After waving his hand to signal Huang Ling and the others to leave, he quietly considered how to deal with the whole thing. In fact, Xiao Ran doesn't care about the ban of actors and directors and other filmmakers, the key is how to resolve the trick of the parade......

After dealing with some necessary things, Xiao Ran's whole person relaxed, he has been very nervous for the past few days, if a huge empire like the Phantom has to get a shortage of funds, then the future is unimaginable.

The successful acquisition of Blockbuster will be able to provide a huge cash flow, so that the global financial company will not need the support of the head office in the short term. And in this way, the Phantom's financial problems have naturally been alleviated. In fact, as long as you breathe a sigh of relief, the Phantom's funds will be fine.
