The legendary Hong Kong Island is a symbol of prosperity, but now it is very depressed, and you can even see people jumping from buildings.

They originally thought that the rumor was wrong, until the guide Li Ping sent to them explained it, they finally understood.

It turns out that my second uncle also helped in the creation of this scene.

They knew that they must have made a lot of money again.

The depressed scene of Hong Kong Island made them lose interest in sightseeing, so they discussed it and decided to find something to do.

Finally, brothers Li Hongtao and Li Botao decided to set up a film and television company, and Li Wenbai decided to learn stock trading from his uncle.

The purpose of the Li Hongtao brothers in establishing a film and television company is obvious to everyone.

You don't need to ask to know that they are definitely going for women.

When watching TV, they always like to discuss which actress is prettier.

Li Ping and Li Xu had no objection to them starting a film and television company, but they made two requests to them: one was not to mess around, and the other was not to marry people from the entertainment industry.

In the past, the Li family was very open-minded about marriage and had only one rule: as long as the two people liked each other and had good character, their background and family background did not matter.

But starting today, the Li family's marriage rules have become two, and the newly added rule is that you are not allowed to marry someone from the entertainment industry.

It’s not that there are no good people in this circle, it’s just that there are very few good ones, and even fewer who are suitable for marriage.

It is better to go all out than to bet on a small, outrageous probability.

The Li Hongtao brothers agreed to these two requests without thinking twice.

Li Xu was originally afraid that his family would embark on the road of no return of stock speculation, but after seeing Fu Qing's example, he changed his mind and felt that he could give it a try.

What if you have talent?

If Li Xu put aside his past life memories and traded stocks, he would lose all his money. He really didn't dare to teach Li Wenbai.

He handed Li Wenbai over to Fu Qing.

He bluntly said that Fu Qing was as good as himself in stock trading and even better than himself in teaching.

In this way, Li Wenbai began his study career.

After arranging him, Li Xu invited the most powerful leader of the Big Circle Gang out in the name of Xu Xiangqian.

Influenced by film and television works, many people think that the Big Circle Gang is the name of a gang.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The Big Circle Gang is a general term for criminal gangs from the mainland that engage in underworld activities.

These days, it’s impossible to open a film and television company in Hong Kong Island without the protection of someone from the underworld.

The veteran stars in Hong Kong definitely have a deep understanding of this. For example, Andy Lau, who was known as a model worker, later had a gun pointed at his head while filming.

The reason for this situation is mainly because the underworld forces in Hong Kong are too rampant.

With Xu Xiangqian's current status, the leaders of major underworld gangs will definitely give him face if he says a word.

But the problem is that just because they save face doesn't mean that people in the film and television companies won't be harassed.

In order to avoid trouble, Li Xu planned to pay a sum of money to let the people from the Big Circle Gang protect the Hongbo Film and Television Company owned by the Li Hongtao brothers.

The people in the Big Circle Gang value money over life and are brave and aggressive. The local underworld gangs in Hong Kong are very afraid of them and will not provoke them unless it is absolutely necessary.

With them around, Hongbo Film and Television basically doesn’t have to worry about safety issues anymore.

Li Xu's meeting with the leader of the Big Circle Gang was not only for this matter, but also for something more important.

He hoped that the other party could expand his power to the point where he could live a comfortable life, and said that he could provide financial support.

In the future, if any Japanese owed him money, he would ask the Big Circle Gang to help him collect the debt.

When it comes to debt collection, the underworld is the most professional.

And only they are suitable to do this kind of dirty work.

For the people in the Big Circle Gang, as long as there is money to be made, I will do anything you ask me to do.

The leader of the Big Circle Gang agreed readily.

Less than two weeks after the incident, a large number of people from the Big Circle Gang started living a simple life.

Hongbo Film and Television Company also officially opened.

Li Xu gave the Li Hongtao brothers 20 million US dollars and let them do whatever they wanted.

It was late September.

During this period, the British government and the Hong Kong government took various measures to curb the financial crisis, but not only did they fail, but they made the financial crisis worse, and many real estate companies and banks went bankrupt.

Li Xu took the opportunity to take over some banks and real estate companies and merge and reorganize them.

The remaining real estate companies were divided between Baochuan Wang and Xu Xiangqian.

The two charter kings did not take over the bank left by Li Xuze, but instead joined forces to purchase a large number of Standard Chartered Bank shares.

HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong, and Standard Chartered Bank is the second largest bank in Hong Kong. These two banks are also the only two banks that have the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.

Under normal circumstances, the two shipping kings would hardly have the opportunity to buy shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

Affected by the financial crisis, all banks have experienced bank runs, and Standard Chartered Bank is not having an easy time either.

The shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank are frightened by the bizarre operations of the British and Hong Kong governments. If this continues, no one knows how long the financial crisis will last. If the bank run lasts too long, they will not be able to hold on.

After discussion, they decided to sell some shares and introduce strong shareholders to increase public trust in the bank and alleviate bank runs.

The most powerful top tycoons now are only Baochuan Wang and Xu Xiangqian.

So Baochuan Wang became the largest individual shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, and Xu Xiangqian became its second largest individual shareholder.

That day, the boat charter king came to the house and told Li Xu and his friends something that almost made them drop their jaws in shock.
