Chapter 028 Will Su Sheng smash up the newspaper office?
In the early hours of November 3, Hong Jinbao was sitting in the back of his car, quite drunk, on his way home.
Yuan Hua was driving, and his cell phone rang when they were almost at Lao Hong's house.
Yuan Hua thought for a moment, then pulled over to the side of the road to answer the phone. He quickly shook Lao Hong, "Brother, it's He Sheng on the phone."
Half-drunk and half-awake, Old Hong took the mobile phone and laughed, "Mr. He, it's so late, haven't you rested yet?"
"Has something unexpected happened?"
This Mr. Ho is Ho Koon-cheung, a veteran of Golden Harvest, who started the business with Mr. Chow.
Many of the films produced by the Hung brothers, including Jackie Chan and others, were produced by each other (such as "Project Eagle").
Project Eagle had already started filming, but due to difficulties filming in Africa and the injury of Ah Long, it was withdrawn to Hong Kong Island for follow-up production.
Old Hong himself first accompanied Lin Zhengying, who was feeling depressed after the poor performance of "The Exorcist Police" during its release, to have a drink.
Then I went to check on Jackie Chan's injury, and after two more shows, I'm finally going home.
Old He chuckled softly, "It's good that you're still awake, Sanmao. I just wanted to give you a little breathing exercise."
"Aren't you on good terms with that Skyworth company in southern Jiangsu?"
"Tomorrow's Oriental Daily News, page four, will publish an article about Su Nan having two boyfriends, not only becoming Rosamund Kwan's new boyfriend but also continuing to support her as a mistress."
"News about the new film featuring a large number of mainland Chinese actors."
"The content wasn't much, but it was a test for him."
"If the response isn't strong, we'll increase the effort. These won't be delivered to the newsstands for another few hours."
Before Hong Jinbao could react, Lao He hung up the phone.
Old Hong was stunned for several seconds, then sat in the back of the car, lit a cigarette, took two deep drags, and tried to clear his head.
He then dialed the number to Su Nan.
Jackie Chan managed to keep his marriage and children a secret for so long, and Andy Lau can also hide his relationship.
Many times, journalists, especially paparazzi, aren't unaware of the information; they're just selling it for money!
Like the Oriental Daily News that's delivered to newsstands before dawn?
The content for today was finalized and sent to the printing factory before 11 pm last night.
Old Hong made three calls before finally getting through and explaining the situation, then hung up the cell phone again.
He asked curiously, "Testing the waters? If the response isn't strong, they'll increase the intensity. Who's testing the waters?"
Yuan Hua was also surprised, "Skyworth Reborn? The role given to me in Reborn (Kung Fu) is a really good opportunity."
"Not just a positive role, but also a male supporting character with a lot of screen time and a good image."
"Who the hell is so shameless as to cause trouble? Should we help them?"
The Oriental Daily News belongs to the Ma family, and is it from Taiwan?
After pondering for a while, Yuan Hua couldn't hold back any longer, "Wouldn't Su Sheng smash up the newspaper office?"
Old Hong snapped out of his drunken stupor and sobered up completely. "It's not that bad. Let's go back and wait for news."
……
Inside a residential building on Hong Kong Island.
Su Nan was originally instructing Chen Hong on how to learn techniques and acting skills from Sister Guan.
Being interrupted by a sudden phone call is annoying, but knowing the details makes it even more annoying!
This residence is one of the properties Rosamund Kwan previously owned.
His house is not yet fully renovated, and he only comes here occasionally when he stays in a hotel.
Su Nan lit a cigarette and pondered for a moment before calling the bodyguard leader, A Tao. "A Tao, it's me."
"Tomorrow's Oriental Daily News will have gossip and scandals about me."
"Go and take some men to handle this. Don't cause serious injury or death, and don't make too much of a commotion."
"Then investigate who was testing us; it was tabloid news from a few days ago."
"It's only now that major newspapers are reprinting it; I just found out it was part of a series of schemes."
"There's been no follow-up to Ah Shun's fight with over a dozen thugs from Hutchison Whampoa in August. They should investigate that thoroughly."
He hadn't paid attention to the gossip he occasionally saw in tabloids before.
I didn't expect that this was already the beginning of someone testing the waters.
Atao hurriedly and earnestly replied, "Don't worry, boss. No serious injuries, no deaths, and no major disturbances. I understand that the culprit has been identified."
"Furthermore, I would like to ask whether the concepts of 'great sound is silent' and 'great form is formless' refer to subtle movements?"
Su Nan was speechless for a few seconds before glancing at his watch; it was one in the morning.
How long has it been since Oriental Daily News started distributing its newspapers to countless street-side retail outlets throughout Hong Kong and Kowloon?
This involves several printing plants and how many newspaper delivery vehicles.
After thinking it through, Su Nan smiled and said, "It's a small commotion, but we should use it with caution."
"If you cause a major incident, you might have to go to Moscow, where it's not as safe as here."
Ah Tao smiled happily, "Boss, wait for me to hand in my report card."
Su Nan ended the call and went back to her bedroom.
Rosamund Kwan, who had been lying down recovering, got up and asked curiously, "Why did you call three times so late? What happened?"
Ah Hong also looked surprised and tried speaking Cantonese, "Our movie hasn't even started filming yet, something happened in Moscow?"
Su Nan laughed and tossed aside his cell phone, "It's alright, it's just training."
You get a base salary of 5,000 per month, and your year-end bonus will depend on your performance.
There are no set standards for performance, so it's all very uncertain.
Back when the average monthly wage in Beijing was only 220 yuan, that figure often referred to the average for state-owned enterprises and collective units.
The male bodyguards who just arrived in Hong Kong, led by Ah Tao, were able to utter the phrase "the greatest sound is the silence."
This is enough to prove that in a short period of time, the other party had already figured out the scale of the Oriental Daily's delivery of the morning paper.
They spent most of their four months there getting to know the social environment.
They certainly wouldn't be completely unaware of one of the newspapers with the largest circulation.
If things really turn out that way, it'll be like 30 years from now, where heavy mobile phone users won't know about WeChat or Alipay.
The fastest way is to strike at the heart of the enemy, but do they know where the Eastern Horse lives?
Even someone as successful as Ma Yun (Eastern Ma) wouldn't only have one home in Hong Kong and Kowloon.
……
1:40 AM on the 3rd.
At a high-end bathhouse in Yau Ma Tei, Ah Tao, along with Ah Shun and others, drove to the main entrance.
The five people glanced at the night view from the car and quickly got off, all wearing hats and masks, and rushed towards the main entrance.
There aren't many night owls around at this time.
The five people rushed into the lobby, startling the young woman who was lightly asleep on the front desk.
There was also a Hutchison Whampoa employee drinking beer and reading a novel on a sofa in the lobby lounge area.
One of the underlings suddenly stood up.
Ah Shun, who once stabbed more than a dozen thugs from Hutchison Whampoa with a tactical dagger, decisively pulled out an M1895 equipped with a silencer and fired two shots.
"Where's Big Eyes? Lead the way!"
……
Two minutes later, four of the group rushed upstairs.
I just saw a waiter opening the elevator and escorting a man in a suit out of it.
With a long travel bag slung over his shoulder, half an AK-74 sticking out, Atao swung the butt of the gun inside the bag and shouted, "Go back!!"
He was speaking Cantonese, and the man in the suit and the waiter who was seeing him off turned pale and promptly returned to the elevator.
Tao left one of his underlings to guard the elevator stairwell while the other two went in with him.
The man in the suit was already squatting on the ground, trembling with fear, his head in his hands.
Atao doesn't know where Ma from Oriental Daily lives, but he knows the general location of Daye.
……
3 a.m. on the 3rd.
In a villa area in Kowloon, Ah Tao brought Ma, who was dragged out of bed in the middle of the night.
The group stood at the corner of the wall in the courtyard of his villa.
A man wearing a hat and mask, carrying an RPG-22, fired a shot at the front door of the villa!
Boom! A violent explosion, accompanied by various sounds, lights, and flames, and some sounds of collapse.
It directly shattered the tranquil night sky, including the aloof atmosphere of the surrounding villa area.
After the explosion, Ah Tao patted Mr. Ma on the shoulder and said in Cantonese, "Mr. Ma, the police are coming and we hope you will cooperate."
"Whether it's a gas explosion or something else, you understand."
"Today's newspaper printed things that shouldn't have been printed; it would be better to remove it entirely."
It wasn't until Atao and his group had left and the car was nowhere to be seen that the nearby patrol officers received the news and rushed to check the situation.
Mr. Ma, who has difficulty walking, looked utterly devastated, exclaiming, "Are you crazy?!"
So far this year, there have been two major kidnapping cases: Jialing's kidnapping and Wang Dehui's kidnapping and murder.
The armed robbery at the airport terminal resulted in the theft of a Rolex watch worth HK$3000 million.
But at this moment, Mr. Ma was still completely mentally broken, until the patrolman called out to Mr. Ma and came to greet him.
Old Ma collapsed, took a deep breath, and said, "The fireworks exploded because I didn't handle them properly."
These things don't matter; what matters is the newspaper!
