Chapter 265: Money is not easy to spend, tens of billions are gone in a flash!
At the press conference.
Fang Jiexia was wearing a white uniform with her hair tied up, looking neat and capable. As the head of the public relations department, she was very confident when facing reporters.
First, she exaggerated the toughness and brutality of the three thief kings, describing their opponents as extremely powerful.
Then, in accordance with the police force's star-making plan, the deeds and image of Zhang Wenyao and his team, who were brave and fearless, and who launched a thundering attack in the hail of bullets and annihilated the thief king, were greatly exaggerated.
It emphasized the spirit of the police force in facing difficulties, disregarding personal safety, and not fearing hardships and dangers, and rising to the challenge.
Finally, the police end the story with the tragic sacrifice of the Flying Tigers in this operation to gain some sympathy.
Let the citizens know that no matter how cruel or ferocious the criminals are, the police will not be afraid of sacrifice to ensure the safety of the citizens.
This press conference, the star-making plan designed to deal with public opinion, and the overwhelming coverage temporarily suppressed the news that Zhang Chongbang and others had beaten someone to death.
Citizens have limited sources of information.
Once this information is controlled by someone, it is easy to be led by the nose.
Only a few people realize that the police are playing down the vision.
After a period of time, the old topics are no longer attractive, and everyone will be attracted by new hot spots and endless new information.
In short, news is forgetful.
The police force’s public relations department’s response this time can be said to be very successful.
As for Zhang Chongbang and the entire Great White Shark team, they are being detained in a low-key manner for the time being, awaiting trial.
…
On the small hills near Mount Davis Pier, fishermen's village houses are scattered sporadically on the hills.
There is a simple hut halfway up the mountain.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
A big hand stretched out from the side of the TV and clapped twice.
"Azhi, you hit it so hard, if it gets damaged, there will be nothing to watch."
A resentful voice sounded.
Tian Yangyi sat on a low stool, with messy hair, looking a little unruly, tall and thin, with a weathered look on his face and a hint of melancholy.
“Sizzle!”
The TV flickered twice, and the picture reappeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Look, this broken TV needs to be cleaned up!"
The man named Azhi is Tian Yangzhi.
He had a ferocious face and his eyes revealed a violent look. He slapped the TV with his hand before sitting down.
"Here, cold beer."
As soon as Tian Yangzhi sat down, a woman with long straight black hair tied up high, a slender figure and a heroic look beside him pried open a bottle of beer and handed it to him.
She is the youngest and only sister among the seven sons of Tian Yang, Tian Yang En.
"Ahn, you are so considerate."
Tian Yangzhi took the beer and drank it in big gulps generously. The beer overflowed and flowed down his neck into his strong chest muscles.
"Shh, don't talk, watch TV."
In the corner, a face poked out from the shadows, his eyes fixed on the TV, his index finger gently pressed against his lips.
He has a crew cut, tough facial lines, and a pair of slightly narrowed eyes that are deep, cold, and full of murderous intent.
These eyes, like a wolf, were fierce, cold, and full of murderous intent.
He has a muscular body, and his every move exudes a ruthless aura that makes him intimidating without even being angry.
This is the eldest brother of them all, Tian Yangsheng.
The Central bombing was carried out by them in collaboration with Zhang Wenyao.
However, after the operation was successful, Zhang Wenyao turned against his fellow criminals and took away 100 million RMB.
When they were arranged to go out to sea, a capture campaign was designed in an attempt to kill them all.
As a result, several of their brothers and sisters were separated by the Yin and Yang. Three of the seven brothers and sisters died, leaving only four.
After escaping, after a period of rest, the brothers and sisters sneaked back to Hong Kong Island.
Prepare to seek revenge on Zhang Wenyao.
Take back the 100 million that belongs to them!
Now, what is being broadcast on TV is the footage of Zhang Wenyao being interviewed by the news media.
"As a member of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, I will work with all my colleagues in the police force to protect this land, safeguard the safety of citizens, crack down on crime, and do my utmost to maintain the security and rule of law of Hong Kong Island. In the future, I will live up to the trust and use my passion and responsibility to build an indestructible security line of defense!"
Zhang Wenyao was in high spirits and his face was beaming with joy.
Facing the media and the public, he spoke confidently and politely.
"Son of a bitch!"
"You're not worthy of being a hero!"
Tian Yangzhi threw the bottle in his hand and it hit the TV with a "bang", breaking and splashing.
The remaining bit of wine bubbled up and flowed down the TV screen and onto Zhang Wenyao's face.
If the TV hadn't had a strong protective cover, it would have been smashed to pieces by now.
"Ashi, calm down."
Tian Yangyi's eyes were gloomy, he squinted his eyes, and his tone was cold, which made people shudder: "We came back this time to make him pay!"
"One hundred million will be ours sooner or later!"
"Get rid of Zhang Wenyao, get the money, and then we'll find a place where no one knows us and live a good life."
They had seven children, seven brothers and sisters, who grew up in an orphanage and were as close as brothers.
Later he was taken abroad and trained as a mercenary. When he grew up, he committed crimes all over the world with his excellent skills and fierce and united character.
Even Interpol can't do anything to them.
The biggest dream of these wanderers is to make enough money one day to retire together and have a home.
Otherwise, he would not have taken such a risk and teamed up with Superintendent Zhang Wenyao to cause the Central explosion and rob 100 million gold.
Unexpectedly, they were stabbed in the back by Zhang Wenyao, their dreams were shattered, and three brothers died.
They could not tolerate Zhang Wenyao's unlimited success.
This revenge must be avenged!
This is the biggest consensus among the four siblings.
…
On the other side, the office of Umbrella Security Company.
Chen Shixian sent Zhang Wenyao to the center position and had Zhang Chongbang and his group handcuffed.
He, the instigator, is perfectly invisible.
At headquarters, counting money.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, one hundred million, one hundred million..."
Chen Shixian crossed his legs and looked at the more than one billion yuan in his account, his eyes narrowed like a proud cat.
Cool!
In addition to the one billion yuan earned from stocks and Pan Asia Bank, there is also the 100 million yuan in cash in Zhang Wenyao's trunk, which has now been laundered.
"Ao, Baozhu, Ahua, Aquan, congratulations, you are now billionaires!"
After counting the money, Chen Shixian said to everyone with a smile.
"Oh yeah!"
Qiu Gangao, Ahua, Aquan and others howled in unison.
"From now on, we are the best in Hong Kong Island. We have a fortune of over 100 million. I couldn't even imagine it before!"
"Brother Xian, help me find a luxury house. I want to bring my daughter and wife to enjoy it together."
Ah Hua smiled excitedly.
Ah Quan's face also lit up: "I can finally hold my head up high in front of my father."
"I want to help him turn his roast duck restaurant into a chain, open it all over the world, and open a hundred or a thousand stores!"
Qiu Gangao smiled calmly and said, "I want to emulate Brother Xian."
"Ao, I didn't realize you were so ambitious." Chen Shixian looked at him in surprise, then said calmly, "You're in trouble. You won't be able to catch up in this lifetime."
"Next life, keep working hard!"
"Try to catch up with my son."
This calm and nonchalant look made Qiu Gangao complain in his heart: "Damn, you are so pretentious again!"
Chen Shixian's current wealth is at least ten times theirs, and is still growing rapidly. To catch up with him is like climbing a mountain.
"Baozhu, why are you so quiet today? Why are you pretending to be so polite?"
Chen Shixian suddenly discovered that after dealing with Zhang Chongbang, even Qiu Gangao, the bitter and vengeful man, became much more active.
Baozhu sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, holding a cigar, and said nothing.
"When you have a certain amount of money, it becomes nothing more than a string of numbers and has no meaning at all."
"Pop", Baozhu slowly exhaled a round smoke ring, waved his hand gently, held the shelf, and said calmly: "I am not interested in money."
"Convex!"
"leave!"
"Fuck you!"
Qiu Gangao, A Quan, A Hua and others really couldn't stand it anymore, seeing him pretending to be so awesome.
They all raised their middle fingers and showed him the ultimate contempt.
"Okay, you are not interested in money!"
Chen Shixian smiled wickedly and said seriously: "I am interested in money."
"Ao, Hua, and Quan are also interested."
"We'll split your share."
Qiu Gangao, Ah Hua, and Ah Quan quickly said in unison: "I agree!"
"We agree with both hands and feet!"
Seeing this, Baozhu was defeated in a second, revealing his true form, and yelled: "I, I am interested. Those who are not interested in money are just pretending!"
“I just play them!”
Ah Quan laughed and joked: "I think you are playing the role of Brother Xian!"
"Damn it, do I usually pretend like this?"
Chen Shixian raised his eyebrows and glanced over.
"Ah Quan, you really don't know how to talk. Can you call that what Brother Xian did pretend? That's just normal!"
The flattery was loud and clear.
This caused everyone to burst into laughter and their bodies shook.
After calming down.
Qiu Gangao's expression became serious. As a business representative and a good teammate in the team, he solemnly took out a videotape.
Put it on the table.
On the side of the videotape, it was labeled Cointreau Hotel.
"The video of Zhang Chongbang and his gang falling to the ground at the Jundu Hotel and accidentally killing Mr. Yao?"
Baozhu picked it up and looked at it, his expression instantly brightened: "When will this good thing be released to the public?"
Originally, everyone thought that Chen Shixian would use this live broadcast to throw out all the contents of the videotape.
I didn't expect that he was so patient and never made the contents of the video tape public.
"Brother Xian, you asked me for this videotape. Do you intend to use it as evidence in court?"
Qiu Gangao asked curiously.
Chen Shixian shook his head: "No, make it public before the court!"
"Now, Brother Cai Yuanqi has put pressure on all major media outlets, and the news of Zhang Chongbang and his gang beating people to death has been suppressed for the time being."
"All major news media outlets are reporting extensively on Zhang Wenyao and Zhou Xingxing's heroic deeds in suppressing bandits."
"It's difficult to expose the news about the Cointreau Hotel."
Qiu Gangao frowned and said with a melancholy face.
"The first brother has announced his early retirement and will step down soon."
"It's just temporary suppression now."
Chen Shixian looked confident: "Zhang Chongbang's case will be brought to trial in a month."
"Before that, shouldn't they have a taste of the storm of public opinion that Brother Biao has gone through?"
Qiu Gangao, Baozhu, Ahua and Aquan were all excited when they heard this.
Back then, they were deserted by their friends and relatives and were condemned by public opinion. Now, everything is happening again.
The feeling is indescribable.
"That's right. When you go to a bath center, you have to order the full package."
"How can we take revenge on Zhang Chongbang and his people by half-measures?"
"I must give him a complete gift package!"
Bakuju shouted angrily.
“…”
Chen Shixian glanced at the explosive bead and said, "You are really good at describing things. Once you see some forbidden places, you will go there frequently."
"As a man, Brother Xian is so knowledgeable, is he missing again?"
Baozhu retorted.
Chen Shixian coughed lightly and said with a straight face, "Let's talk business. What are you doing with all that fancy stuff?"
After a pause, he continued:
"As for the media, I plan to buy a TV station for fun."
"When the time comes, we will have the final say on what content to publish and how to hype it."
Qiu Gangao, Baozhu, Ahua, Aquan and others were slightly shocked and all looked at Chen Shixian.
"Oh my god, Brother Xian, did I hear you right? You want to buy a TV station, come and have some fun?"
Baozhu's jaw dropped slightly, somewhat surprised.
At the very least, it would cost several hundred million to run a TV station.
You really know how to have fun, spending hundreds of millions to buy a TV station for fun.
Before, he was secretly delighted.
Now, I am already a billionaire.
There is no way to spend so much money.
As a result, Chen Shixian immediately said he wanted to buy a TV station, and it was a big deal.
Wouldn’t hundreds of millions be gone in an instant?
From this perspective, one hundred million is still too little!
The money doesn't last at all!
Why is a monthly salary of a few thousand yuan not enough to spend, and why is it even less enough when the assets reach hundreds of millions?
"You heard me right, how about Li's?"
Chen Shixian was very calm.
It's as simple as going to the vegetable market to buy a cabbage.
"Brother Xian, there are three major TV stations in Hong Kong Island now, TVB, Rediffusion, and SNK. Only TVB is making money. SNK, a new TV station, has just started to show its potential. As for Rediffusion, it has not been doing well in the past two years and its profits are very low. I heard that the Eagle Country company behind it is preparing to sell 61% for more than 500 million."
"It's not worth spending hundreds of millions to buy a TV station."
"Jiayi has declared bankruptcy, so we should stay out of this mess, right?"
Qiu Gangao expressed his own views.
He was a little surprised to hear that Chen Shixian wanted to buy a TV station.
Along the way, Chen Shixian was involved in real estate, transportation, casinos, and stocks, and he never raised any objections.
After all, the most profitable industries in Hong Kong Island at present are real estate, finance, transportation, manufacturing and entertainment.
These mainstream industries make money quickly, regardless of the size of the investment.
However, I really don’t understand the operation of buying a TV station.
The investment is large, the effect is slow and the return is small.
The TV station's programs are completely free and its revenue depends entirely on advertising. The influence of the TV station determines the level of advertising revenue.
It’s not as simple as investing in a movie and making money from the box office revenue.
If a TV station wants high ratings, it has to invest money in producing programs. Only if the programs are good and the ratings are high can it attract advertising.
Not only is the cycle long, but the investment is also huge.
ATV is now half-dead, so buying a TV station is not a wise move.
"Ao, I know what you are worried about."
Chen Shixian said slowly and calmly, "I have considered buying a TV station carefully."
"Now, our industries involve real estate, entertainment, transportation, etc., and we have a certain influence in both the black and white worlds of Hong Kong Island."
"But, it's not enough!"
He said with a firm gaze: "I bought Li's just to increase my influence!"
"The influence of a media group is enormous, and you can see it this time."
"Public opinion is a knife, an invisible knife!"
"We must hold this knife in our own hands."
"To control public opinion is to control weapons!"
Chen Shixian's gaze was far-reaching and deep, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window, at the buildings below.
It seemed as if a media empire was about to be born from his hands.
"Just because Li's knife doesn't work now doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Whether this knife is sharp or not depends on the person who uses it and whether he knows how to sharpen it."
Chen Shixian's face was full of confidence and ambition: "As long as it is managed properly, the influence of a TV station will be huge."
"Just think about it, as our industry grows bigger and bigger."
"The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. The more money we have and the bigger our property is, the more people will covet it."
“If you don’t have influence, you’re like a child holding a gold brick. It will be snatched away.”
"It is easy to conquer a kingdom, but difficult to defend it. We must plan ahead."
"When we have an influential media, things will be different. By then, some powerful countries will also be wary of our credibility."
“Not to mention, if there is a business war, let the umbrella investigate the mistakes of the rival company and expose them directly.”
"Public opinion can cause fatal damage to a company."
An influential media is more powerful than the dark forces armed with sticks and firearms.
Just like Tik Tok in later generations, it is jokingly called an Internet law enforcement agency. If there is any problem, go to Tik Tok.
Countries also use media platforms to wage public opinion wars and create various confrontations.
An influential media is very scary.
This power must be in your own hands.
Now is the perfect opportunity.
It has a strong wireless background, is profitable now, and has a high market value, so it is impossible to acquire it.
SNK is a newly established TV station that mainly broadcasts news and hot topics programmes, which is not the development path he is interested in. Besides, the head of the family, Mrs. Fang, has very wide connections and is difficult to shake.
Only at this time, due to poor management, Eagle Country Company was preparing to sell its shares.
This is a good time.
Baozhu's blood boiled after hearing this. He didn't care about those twists and turns. He just knew that following Brother Xian was the right thing to do.
He immediately patted his chest and said generously: "Brother Xian, if you want to do it, do it completely!"
"Count me in, let's take 100% control together!"
"I've taken the 61% of the shares that Eagle Country Company is selling, and I'll just buy up the rest!"
Chen Shixian laughed dumbly: "You are everywhere."
Qiu Gangao, Ahua and Aquan also expressed their desire to invest some shares.
Chen Shixian readily agreed.
Of Rediffusion's shares, 61% are held by Eagle Country Company.
There is still 21% which happens to be in He Yuji's hands, and it will be enough for him to take over these shares.
It just so happened that the walled village development plan with Ho Yu-kee had been put on the agenda and the funds should be arranged.
Chen Shixian picked up the phone and called He Yuji directly.
Taipingshan, where is the house?
He Yuji was practicing calligraphy in his study. Just as he wrote a horizontal stroke, the red phone on the table rang.
Putting down the brush, he picked up the phone: "Hello, who's on the phone?"
"Mr. He, I am Chen Shixian."
Chen Shixian's voice came from the phone.
"Ah Xian!"
He Yuji smiled a little: "Guangchang Building, King of Thieves Live, aren't you busy helping the police catch thieves?"
The two are now close friends regardless of age difference and are also collaborators, so their conversations are naturally more casual.
"Protecting Hong Kong Island and fighting crime is everyone's responsibility!"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Shixian laughed. It seemed that he and Yuji saw him on TV and were teasing him.
He Yuji listened but did not comment.
Along the way, Chen Shixian seems to be finding a legitimate job and building his career.
But as someone who has been through it, he knows very well that for someone like Chen Shixian, who is so young and has achieved such success in such a short period of time, there must be something fishy behind the scenes.
Fighting against evil, maybe he himself is the biggest evil.
After secretly complaining, he let out a standard big boss laugh and asked, "Then why don't you protect the citizens and save Hong Kong Island?"
"Call me, what for?"
Chen Shixian got straight to the point and said, "Business, the second phase of the village project, 700 million yuan in funding, has been in place."
“When will the project start?”
He Yuji's hand holding the phone trembled, and he almost dropped it. He wondered if he had heard it wrongly, and said in surprise: "Seven hundred million, has it arrived?!"
At this moment, He Yuji really wanted to ask a question.
My friend, where did you pick up the money?
Not taking me with you?!
