...
Kang Jianfei really didn't expect that his actions would be so big that the situation afterwards would no longer be controlled by everyone.
This is also the reason why Hong Kong gangs do not use guns. Hong Kong has extremely strict control over guns. Once a gun is used, it will immediately become the target of severe crackdown by the police. At the same time, gun battles are easy to cause great trouble, causing a certain degree of social panic. After the media fermentation, the police have to deal with it seriously, and even carry out large-scale anti-gang operations.
People often compare bandits like Zhang Ziqiang with club tycoons like Xiang Huaqiang to those who are more awesome. In fact, this is incomparable.
Zhang Ziqiang led a group of people to play kidnapping and robbery, submachine guns, grenades, etc., use whatever is more powerful, and if the transaction is successful, they will immediately escape. However, Xiang Huaqiang and his subordinates cannot do this. They can only hold a knife and chop people honestly, because the club has their own fixed territory. If the use of guns makes the police angry or triggers public opinion, they will be the one who is unlucky.
Just like now, the Hong Kong and British governments and the Police Department have been angered by a series of incidents. Once the anti-gang operation was launched, all the communities in Hong Kong were in trouble together.
The farce in Causeway Bay for more than half a month finally calmed down. All the gang bosses on that land were invited by the police to have tea.
After negotiations were completed in the bureau, the police allowed them to pay bail and leave. The rest was to redefine the territory according to the negotiation results, and then stayed honestly to collect protection fees and open the gambling fan file.
In the official publicity, the police used anti-gang operations to deter young people, and Hong Kong's public security has improved greatly. However, the actual situation is that several gangs are forced to compromise with each other due to the situation, and they should play as much as they can after the limelight.
Chen Guifang, who was secretly supported by Kang Jianfei, is also a character. This guy bit He Shenghe to death to fight for territory, assassinated the boss of his own gang quickly, and broke the rules on the road to use weapons. He used the excuse for Brother Chen and Brother Xiang to avenge the people of the community, and then took his brothers to provoke the territory of He Shenghe. Basically, there was a bloody battle every few days, and everyone had a victory or defeat and was difficult to distinguish.
It can be said that the whole thing is getting bigger and bigger, and Chen Guifang plays an extremely critical role in it, and He Shenghe is like yellow mud falling into his crotch - it is either shit or shit. Except for the Xiang brothers and Chen Huimin guessed the truth, other members of the Hong Kong community all believe that Datou Chen and Kulixiang were really assassinated by He Shenghe.
Finally, under the pressure of the police and the hatred of other gangs, He Shenghe had to give up the territory of the street and hand it over to the management of the Zidui where Chen Guifang was.
...
Yian Company.
The boss of the new Yian leader lit a cigar and asked in surprise: "Do you said Datouchen was Kang Jianfei who was assassinated? The cause of the whole incident was that Datouchen slapped the female star twice?"
Xiang Huaqiang nodded: "It's probably because he found someone to do it."
"But what good is this for him?" Xiang Huayan asked. With Xin Yian's strength, he could naturally find someone to secretly make Datouchen, but after Datouchen died, he would not benefit Xin Yian at all. At worst, he could replace him with another 14k person to be a boss.
Similarly, Xiang Huayan couldn't understand why Kang Jianfei went through a lot of trouble to do such a thing, because Datouchen's death had no meaning to Kang Jianfei.
"I've heard of one thing," Xiang Huasheng said, "Jiahe once secretly dug up the corner of DreamWorks to sign Zhou Runfa, but within a few days Zou Wenhuai received a photo of his grandson and a bullet."
Xiang Huaqiang nodded and agreed, "I have heard of this."
Xiang Huayan said speechlessly: "That Kang Jianfei is a psychopath, his style of doing things is even more like a black society than ours."
Xiang Huasheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's better not to provoke this person in the future. He will give him a discount on the money he made in the theaters in our territory to show his friendship."
"Asheng, you'll do this," Xiang Huayan taught his younger brother a lesson. "If you really want to have sex with Kang Jianfei, then cancel all the protection fees in his theaters, or still charge them as usual, but take good care of them. What does it mean to discount the protection like this? First, it seems that you are too petty. Second, it cannot show our sincerity at all."
Xiang Huasheng said with a lecture: "Brother, I understand."
"How to collect the protection fee of Oriental Cinemas, just pretend that nothing has happened. Just don't have any friction with Kang Jianfei in the future." Xiang Huayan said.
Speaking of which, others may not believe it. The leader of the new Yian leader, who has 200,000 brothers under his command, was actually a little scared by Kang Jianfei's methods this time. Just like all the bigwigs of the club don't want to provoke Zhang Ziqiang, the kind of guy you don't know what he wants, but may mess around at any time is the most troublesome thing.
Hong Kong clubs often do tricks of slaughtering sacks and often cut people into disabled people, but no one has burned more than ten people with gasoline. Even the people in the club can't bear to look at that crazy method.
Kang Jianfei revealed the information to Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Huimin without any scruples. His real purpose was to kill the chicken and to show off his muscles to the Hong Kong community.
Of course, Kang Jianfei would never admit that he was related to this matter. He has always been a good citizen who is honest and law-abiding.
In the next ten years, the truth about this incident has been spread in a small scale among major clubs, and there is really no gang that dares to touch the Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group casually.
It’s not that those black/society are really afraid of Kang Jianfei, but they respect and fear each other. Kang Jianfei’s companies still pay the protection fee they should pay, so he naturally won’t be stupid enough to mess with people in the club. Otherwise, the other party just sends a maid to the major theaters of Oriental Cinema every day to cause trouble, which is enough for Kang Jianfei to drink.
...
A tea restaurant in Kowloon.
Chen Huimin stirred the tea with a sugar spoon. He said in a complicated tone: "Brother, have you done it a little too much this time?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and asked, "What have I done? I haven't done anything. I've been filming honestly during this period."
"Oh, you know what I'm talking about," Chen Huimin sighed, "Actually they are all small things, why bother such a big deal? After all, you are a businessman, and there is no need to fight with us who are licking blood from the knife."
Kang Jianfei put away his smile: "Do you know that Datouchen received the protection fee from my film and television city? That little protection fee is nothing, but I know that if I don't react, Datouchen and other gangs will gain a lot of appetite in the future."
In another time and space, in early 1992, it was the peak of Hong Kong film prosperity, and major gangs invested in film companies to make movies and launder money. Gangs film companies were unable to compete in quality, and brought in all kinds of external tricks. During the post-recording of Huang Baiming and the New Year film "Happy Events in Family", a group of gang members rushed into Huang Baiming's company, tied up all employees inside and outside the editing room, and finally snatched away the cut "Happy Events in Family" as negative.
Fortunately, those people snatched the wrong ones, otherwise Huang Baiming would lose all his money, because the starring actors of this movie are Zhang Guorong, Zhou Xingchi, Mao Shunjun, Zhang Manyu and Ng Junru, and the actors' pay alone is a lot of money.
Other incidents such as pointing guns to the forehead, sending bullets to invite actors, kidnapping celebrity agents to intimidate them from taking scenes from a certain company, and extorting huge protection fees every day to delay progress.
Kang Jianfei doesn't want to be in trouble in the next few years, so he wants to do it once and for all, and to show his tough attitude.
As for the possible troubles this matter has caused, Kang Jianfei has long been considerate, one is from the revenge from 14k, and the other is from the police investigation.
There is no need to worry about the first one, because 14k was already a mess more than ten years ago. Many times, the big guys of 14k were still fighting each other for territory. Without huge benefits, it is impossible for anyone to stand up for the dead Datouchen. Datouchen's most sincere subordinate Kulixiang had already burned coke in the van, and the remaining gang members were then led to hatred by Chen Guifang on He Shenghe, and Kang Jianfei had no trace of it.
The police don’t have to worry. Without evidence, they would not be able to come and catch a social celebrity like Kang Jianfei. Last time they came to the crew of "Fangfang" to find Kang Jianfei, they just asked a few questions and then flicked.
After killing Datouchen, Kang Jianfei had another advantage, that is, he secretly supported Chen Guifang as a big boss, which is a secret chess that can be used at any time.
Kang Jianfei never thought of using a gun with handprints as a handle to instruct Chen Guifang, but he could continue to sponsor him money, or even smuggle arms through Ye Laosan. There should be too many old guns eliminated from the mainland.
Among those veterans, some are willing to go to the wrongdoer. Kang Jianfei also respects his choice. Chen Guifang may have several more powerful generals at any time. Not to mention that he can become the overlord of Causeway Bay, at least it is possible to consolidate the 14k of the two forces of Causeway Bay, so that it will occupy half of Causeway Bay.
Chen Huimin chatted for a while and then checked out and left. He used to have a good sense of Kang Jianfei, but now he is a little disgusted with him and is wary of him. He and Datouchen are usually a little conflicted, but they are both 14k big shots. Once Datouchen dies, Chen Huimin will inevitably feel sad about the death of a rabbit and the fox.
