History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 396 Equal Kidnapping

The next day, in the morning, the "South China Daily" published the news that Shao Zuiweng and the brothers from the village were kidnapped. Since the Shaw Brothers had been working in the film industry for decades and were well-known, it aroused heated discussions for a while, and the amount of 1000 million Hong Kong dollars was also A record high was driven out of Hong Kong Island.

It’s not uncommon for a big boss to be kidnapped these days, and the citizens often stay in their mouths to talk about it. If you look at it as gossip news, it doesn’t actually arouse much public opinion. If you talk about it, the laborers who work hard and the big rich can’t empathize. , Many people are gloating.

Shao Yifu was not so naive as to use newspaper public opinion to force the police to rescue and release him. He only hoped that the news and public opinion would make He Dingxian feel scruples, and that the ransom will be fully recovered at that time, so that the people and money will not be lost.Of course, Run Run Shaw knew very well that in order to make a deal, he must have a corresponding bargaining chip in his hand. If he does not want to pay the economic price, he must hold someone or something with the same price.

It's past ten o'clock.

After He Dingxian finished reading the newspaper and eating breakfast, he dialed out the phone slowly: "Du"

"Mr. Shao."

"I'm He Dingxian."

Shao Zuiweng slept less last night, his eyes were a little red, but he was refreshed when he received the call, and hurriedly asked: "He sir, is there any news?"

"Come out and talk."

He Dingxian invited: "In 10 minutes, Chaofu Restaurant."

"No problem, He Sheng."

Shao Yifu opened his mouth and agreed.

Half an hour later, at Chaofu Restaurant, at a tea table on the second floor, Shao Yifu respectfully got up to pour tea, handed over the cup and said, "Mr. He, my brother's business is troublesome."

"Mr. Shao, you are welcome."

He Dingxian sat on the chair and said with a half-smile: "This matter has caused a lot of trouble in the news. The police force must do their best to do their best. But after seeing the news, the kidnappers felt a little upset. The 1000 million Hong Kong dollars would not let go of their mouths." .”

"Mr. He, Shaw does have some family business, but 1000 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. Not many people are willing to take over the theater chain." Shao Yifu has something in his words. Said: "Unless Mr. He is willing to take over."

"Haha."

"How dare I take advantage of others." He Dingxian laughed loudly: "However, my subordinates have located the kidnappers for a long time, but the kidnappers are hiding in the territory of Haojiang. fee."

The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce has no power at all in Haojiang, Shao Yifu hurriedly said, "How much do you want?"

"500."

He Dingxian stretched out a slap and said: "If Mr. Shao is willing to pay, I can contact my friends to help save people. If Mr. Shao can't come up with 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 Haojiang's policeman is rotten to the root. If he didn't receive the money from this end, he can go to collect the money from the other end."

500 million is less than half of 1000 million, but it is still a huge amount, but the assets of the Shaw family are at least tens of millions, including Nanyang theaters, sites, playgrounds, theaters in Hong Kong Island, film companies, etc.
The property value of Shao Zuiweng's Shao Father and Son theater chain alone exceeds tens of millions.

"it is good."

"Use 500 million to save the lives of my two elder brothers." Shao Yifu said: "It's worth it."

"When will Mr. He ask for money?"

He Dingxian corrected: "It's not that I want the money, I'm helping you hand it over to the kidnappers!"

"It's best to transfer it to the account of Dongfang Bank in the afternoon, and I will transfer it to the people in Haojiang."

Yifu Shao did not hesitate: "No problem."

A rich man is a fat pig before the barrel of a gun.

Shao Weimei bled from distress, but it was far easier to accept than 1000 million.
He Dingxian took a sip of tea and remained silent, but Yan Xiong sat aside and interjected in a timely manner: "Mr. Shao, my boss has helped you so much, why don't you express anything?"

"Axiong!"

He Dingxian showed displeasure, put down his teacup, glared at him and said, "You're not polite!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Shao Yifu waved his hand in a friendly manner, "Sir Yan's words are reasonable, in fact, even if he doesn't say anything, we should show that if Mr. He can bring back the criminal's body, Shao is willing to donate another 100 million Build a building for the police force."

Building a building is just a way of saying, the money goes into the account of the police force, 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 sides have gained fame.

The price tag is not low.

However, He Dingxian shook his head and said: "It is the duty of the police force to help save people. It is already a dereliction of duty for the Hong Kong police to fail to stop the criminal. How can we take advantage of Mr. Shao?"

"Sir He is a man of integrity, but he has to think about his brothers. It also costs money to manage the police force," Shao Yifu said.

He Dingxian looked at Yan Xiong: "Ah Xiong, what do you want, tell Mr. Shao, Mr. Shao will definitely not refuse."

Shao Yifu also turned his gaze to Yan Xiong, Yan Xiong squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Shao, I happen to want to open a film and television production company. I heard that you have a channel lease agreement signed with Li's. Can you transfer it to me?"

"Willing to pay for it."

A flash of light flashed in Shao Yifu's eyes, and he stared at Yan Xiong for a long time, Yan Xiong also looked at him without showing any timidity, the two sides were trying to see each other, at this moment, he finally figured out He Dingxian's goal.It was because Shaw Brothers snatched the rental contract from Oriental Pictures that they caused such a big trouble.

To be honest, Shaw Brothers really did not think of renting a TV channel before Oriental Pictures went to find Li Yingxiang.Although Yifu Shao has always been concerned about the TV license, he stopped thinking when he saw that the British-funded company had successfully won it.

Afterwards, Hu Dongfang Pictures' rental contract was intercepted. It was indeed dishonest, but there is no business without fraud. Before the contract is signed, anyone is qualified to negotiate.

Lidi gave him the contract money, because of the consideration of the company's top management
And when Shao Yifu looked at Yan Xiong, He Dingxian was also staring at Shao Yifu, and Shao Weimei didn't expect that the kidnapping would involve a contract. Sitting next to him was a little dazed, but Yan Xiong burst out a threatening sentence: " What, you don't want to?"

"Haha."

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

"Yes."

"I'm interested." Yan Xiong nodded fiercely.

"it is good."

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

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

"Mr. He, 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 after the matter is over." Shao Yifu stood up, and He Dingxian waved his hand and said, "Send Mr. Shao a moment."

"Yes, sir."

Yan Xiong got up to see him off.

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

"This incident was led by the police force to force me to hand over the lease." Shao Yifu said coldly: "The boss and the second brother both suffered innocent disasters. You go to the Fengde to get the money, but there is no rush Send it over."

"understood."

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

Not without.

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

But Yifu Shao was not in the character of standing still and not fighting back when he was beaten. When he returned to the Shanghai Club, he immediately called Wu Aqing who was in Nanyang.

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

"Two hours, did you help tie up Jiang Tianyang?" Shao Yifu was very straightforward. Wu Aqing didn't understand the current affairs in Hong Kong Island. After being surprised, he thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Tianyang often attends public occasions with Wu Youdong recently. Where should I go?" Investigate and try to tie people up."

"it is good."

"If things are done, I'll ask Wu Hao to take over your shift. If things don't work well, you don't have to come back." Shao Yifu hung up the phone, stood at the table and rubbed his temples, obviously feeling a lot of pressure in his heart.The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce is not without a little power, especially after the successful investment in Lin Youfu, Yu Nanyang's control power has doubled, and the momentum of Haiding Society has surpassed that of Yiqun Society.If Wu Aqing can tie Jiang Tianyang to his hands, it is completely feasible to exchange it with He Dingxian.

Jiang Tianyang is an important chess piece of He Dingxian's layout in Nanyang, far more important than a TV station lease contract. The premise of equal trading is equal strength.Wu Aqing was even more excited when he received the call from the big boss. The last time he confronted Jiang Tianyang in the restaurant and was stepped on, Wu Aqing held his breath, but because he had to prioritize the interests of the community, he had to swallow his breath.Now the big boss personally ordered to take action against Jiang Tianyang, which is not only in the interests of the labor front, but also in line with the big boss's wishes, so we can give it a go.

What's more, the big boss's order is very measured. Binding Jiang Tianyang must be used for negotiation, not killing Jiang Tianyang.With Jiang Tian alive, the Yiqun Society will not be turned upside down, and the situation will be better controlled.

Wu Aqing quickly mobilized the most elite forces in his hands and personally led the team out to handle errands.Shao Yifu didn't tell anyone about the matter, and he was not afraid that it would be exposed that He Dingxian would tear up the ticket. As long as the kidnapper wanted something in his hands, he at least ordered to keep it for him.

Singapore.

Chinatown, Chinatown.

Jiang Tianyang was wearing a suit, holding a mineral water spring in his hand, standing behind the billboard of a podium, blocking the sun with the shadow.Mr. Wu on the stage was giving a canvassing speech. In addition to the passing citizens who supported him, there were also many bodyguards of the society in suits and elegant dresses.

At this time, Mr. Wu finished talking about a wave of ideas and chanting slogans, put down the horn, bowed and stepped off the stage, and came to Jiang Tianyang's side. He took a bottle of water brought by Jiang Tianyang very naturally, and said with a smile: "Jiang Sheng, we will go together later. eat lunch?"

"Okay."

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

　The last day of this month, the last hour, don't waste your votes, brothers.

　　thank you all.
