Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Axiao, are you okay today?"

Du Yongxiao had just finished his work and was about to take Huang Ying out to eat, but he was blocked by Lei Yanni at the door.

Not far away, parked was a red Ferrari sports car, but it was Lei Yanni's car.

In this era, being able to drive a Ferrari shows that the Lei family's status in Hong Kong is extraordinary.

"Of course, what's the matter?" Du Yongxiao said with a smile.

Many people thought that he was using Shao Anqi and Lei Yanni to develop their film and television careers. In fact, he also helped the two girls grow up invisibly.

For example, the Lei Yanni in front of her looked more capable than before.

"Have you forgotten that you promised me to meet my daddy?" Lei Yanni said and took another look at Huang Ying.

Huang Ying said hello, she nodded.

Lei Yanni smiled and teased Du Yongxiao: "She's quite beautiful. No wonder you can't bear the job of superintendent."

"Don't talk nonsense! When will you see him?"

"Just now."

"Huh?" Du Yongxiao looked at his watch, "It's already noon!"

"Yeah, that's why my daddy said to treat you to dinner!"

…

Lei's mansion is located near Peak Road.

As the bus kings of Kowloon, the Lei family has long dominated the transportation business on Hong Kong Island.

To be precise, the Lei family was engaged in the transportation business before the Anti-Japanese War, starting with the first truck.

On April 13, 1933, Tang Siu Kin, Lui Ruide, Lei Liang, Tam Huan Tang and Lam Mingxun established the corporate structure for KMB, and at the same time merged Nan Hing Bus Company, Quan Hing Bus Company and Cheung Mei Bus Company, Kowloon Motor Corporation (19 33) Co., Ltd. was formally established, and Ray's later held the majority share.

Descendant Lei Juekun is engaged in public transportation, real estate and film industries. Kowloon Construction, which has a net asset value of NT$2 billion, holds a major stake in KMB and holds 20.38% of KMB. It is also a major shareholder of Norway Land, Golden Princess Co., Ltd., New Arts City Film Co., Ltd. and New World Development Company.

It can be said that the Lei family is now one of the most wealthy and prestigious families in Hong Kong. Everyone in Hong Kong knows and knows about it.

The red Ferrari drove quickly to the gate of Lei's mansion.

Lei Yanni glanced at Du Yongxiao, then smiled and honked the horn.

The door of the villa creaked and opened slowly.

Lei Yanni drove in.

The mansion is larger than the one Du Yongxiao lives in, and is more luxurious.

The Ferrari made a long circle around the large garden before stopping in front of a red villa.

"Woof woof!"

A hairy greyhound wags its tail and rushes towards Lei Yanni.

Lei Yanni knelt down and stroked its head and neck, causing the greyhound to purr in comfort.

"It's called Harry!" Lei Yanni turned around and said to Du Yongxiao, "It's very humane, just like our family."

Du Yongxiao smiled, "Harry, do you welcome me?"

"Woof woof woof!" Harry barked three times at Du Yongxiao.

"Giggle, it said it welcomes you to our Lei family!"

"Miss, are you back?" An old man wearing a white robe came out, but it was Uncle Xiang, the old housekeeper of the Lei family.

"Uncle Xiang, I have invited guests - where is my daddy?"

"He was waiting in the study and said that guests are coming. He should go to the study first!"

Lei Yanni turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Du Yongxiao, "I thought I could have dinner with you, but I can't help it. You go to the study first!"

"Okay, let me go see Mr. Lei first!"

…

In the study room——

Lei Juekun chewed a big cigar and sat behind the boss's chair. On the wall behind him, there was a word "luck" written in thick ink hanging on the wall.

This word "luck" has various meanings. On the one hand, it refers to the transportation industry that the Lei family operates, mainly Kowloon Bus; on the other hand, it also talks about his fortune and luck.

Du Yongxiao also has some research on brush calligraphy. In his last life, he participated in a symposium of a certain calligraphy master and heard many unique insights. Now when he saw the word "luck", he knew that this character was not written by ordinary people. The overall momentum was very There is a sense of oppression, giving people the feeling of an avalanche.

At this moment, Du Yongxiao was sitting on a study sofa, the kind where half of the body would sink into it as soon as he sat down. It felt a bit shorter than Lei Juekun's boss chair.

If you were an ordinary person, facing this kind of scene, you would immediately feel a sense of "looking up" to Lei Juekun.

Who is Du Yongxiao?

A mountain of swords and a sea of ​​​​blood fought out the heroes. Facing this scene, I just laughed.

He lay down on the sofa very comfortably, with his arms spread out like a roc spreading its wings. His whole posture was domineering and arrogant, without any sense of being a "guest".

Since Du Yongxiao entered the house, Lei Juekun began to observe Du Yongxiao's every move.

He was very accurate in seeing people, and many people could not escape his eyes no matter how deep they were hidden, but at this moment Du Yongxiao gave him a feeling that he could not see through them.

young!

too young!

But this gesture gives people a sense of sophistication.

I heard from my daughter that this man actually serves as the chief superintendent of the police force, which is unbelievable!

What makes him even less incredible is that, according to his daughter, this person is actually the owner of Hengchuang Real Estate, and it was he who developed Times Square in Central!

If it were an ordinary person, facing Lei Juekun with Du Yongxiao's attitude, Lei Juekun would definitely lose his temper and angrily accuse the other party of disrespecting the elders. However, Du Yongxiao's unique status made Lei Juekun shut up, and he even felt that the other party had Qualifications and bargaining with yourself.

Lei Juekun finally spoke, breaking the silence and asking Du Yongxiao: "Mr. Du, I have no objection to you and your daughter starting a film company! But what can you do to guarantee that your film company will make money? You know, now the entire Hong Kong film industry The Shaw family is the only one in the world!"

"It is precisely because it is the only one that we want to take a share of the pie!" Du Yongxiao smiled calmly, "As an audience, we are actually very picky. In the past, there was competition between D\u0026M and Shaw Brothers, and everyone enjoyed watching it. This company If the movie is not good, just go to another one, but now?" Du Yongxiao spread his hands, "I have no choice!"

Lei Juekun smiled: "You are not answering the right question. What I asked is how to get money?"

Du Yongxiao stood up abruptly, walked to Lei Juekun's desk, leaned down with his hands on the table and stared at Lei Juekun, and asked: "Mr. Lei, to be honest, if you really want to ask for money, as a Chinese, I The Chief Superintendent actually has many solutions for the first time! Do you think so?"

Lei Juekun was a little surprised when he saw Du Yongxiao's domineering side. He had always been known for his strength, but he didn't expect to meet someone more powerful than him today.

"That's true! What can't you do as police officers? Open casinos, run fan stalls, or even dance halls, bars, and nightclubs - these are easier than making movies, and they make quick money!" Lei Juekun said in a sarcastic tone. .

One sentence to describe Du Yongxiao is, "a prostitute and a gambler."

Du Yongxiao did not get angry, but nodded: "You are right! Many policemen like old people, but I am an exception. I do real estate and catering! I opened the first McDonald's in Hong Kong. Now Hong Kong There are at least fifty in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories! I also developed Times Square, and every inch of land is now very valuable! So now you should understand what kind of person I am!"

Lei Juekun flicked the cigar ashes into the ashtray and looked at Du Yongxiao with a smile: "I know what you are like?"

"I like challenges! The harder it is, the better!" Du Yongxiao stared at Lei Juekun and said word by word. "Now I am ready to challenge the film industry and compete with Shaw Brothers!"

"Compared with Shaw Brothers? Why?" Lei Juekun bit his cigar with a look of contempt on his face.

"Just because I founded Jiahe!" Du Yongxiao was confident, "Now we have almost hired two generals Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang from Shaw Brothers. When the time comes, big stars such as Wang Yu will also come! Now we only need your theater chain! "

"Theatrical chain? I can give it to you, at least let me see your so-called works of Jiahe!" Lei Juekun puffed out a puff of smoke, "Yanni is my daughter, she wants to make movies because she is hot-headed, okay, I support her! But what I see more is profit! Only good works can have good box office, and then I can trust you with the theater chain!"

"Okay!" Du Yongxiao raised his eyebrows, "I will hand over our first drama in Jiahe to you in one month at the latest!"

"It's a deal!" Lei Juekun stretched out his hand towards Du Yongxiao. "One month, be on time!"

…

That afternoon——

Du Yongxiao returned to the police station.

Seeing that he was worried, Huang Ying quickly made him a cup of coffee and brought it to him: "Tell me what you are worried about, maybe I can help you!"

Du Yongxiao glanced at Huang Ying and suddenly thought of something, "A Ying, where is your brother?"

"Uh, what?"

"Is he doing well on the TV station?" Du Yongxiao thought of the future genius Huang Baiming.

"I heard it's not good! You know, places like that are mostly based on seniority. He just went there not long ago and is not familiar with the place, so everyone bullies him. But he is stubborn and insists on staying there. There is no way he can succeed. I won't leave if I am famous." Huang Ying had nothing to do with this old man.

Huang Baiming has been smarter than her since she was a child. Not only does he have first-class academic performance, but he is also good at eloquence. Huang's father also has high expectations for him.

Who knew that Huang Baiming's dream when he grew up was to become a star and work in the entertainment industry, which was completely wrong with Huang's expectations of a doctor and lawyer.

Since ancient times, being an actor is similar to being an actor. They are all talented people from different religions.

Father Huang hated the fact that iron could not become steel, so he planned to let Huang Baiming inherit his father's business and open a barbecue restaurant. However, Huang Baiming's mind was not on this, and the father and son always had conflicts. They have not been home for several days.

After understanding the situation, Du Yongxiao smiled and said to Huang Ying: "Now, you are my secretary, just like my relative. In this way, Brother Huang is also my relative! Since he is my relative, I will not harm him. There is a division of labor here, which is very suitable." He, to be precise, I am going to shoot a movie and I am going to cast him as a male pig's trotter!"

"Ah, what?" Huang Ying was startled, "Let him be a male pig's trotters?" Huang Ying couldn't imagine that her old brother, who was so skinny and not handsome, could be the male protagonist.

"That's right! And I've already decided on the name of this play!" Du Yongxiao tapped his fingers on the table, "It's called - "Happy Ghost"!"
