Chapter 180 Non-interference

It is almost common knowledge in Hong Kong's underworld that 14K has offended the richest man in the world.

After sacrificing "Master Buddha" Hua Xi, a person of equal level as Hu Xuyong, 14K has been looking for opportunities to repair its relationship with the richest man Fang.

After all, the richest man’s power is truly terrifying.

Not only do half of Hong Kong's social groups rely on the richest man for their livelihood, the news also reported that Fang Hexuan has hired dozens of retired soldiers from the mainland to serve as bodyguards.

The forces available at hand alone are enough to make 14K feel scalp tingling.

Not to mention, almost two years have passed, and Fang Hexuan's wealth has only increased, and he continues to sit firmly on the top spot as the richest man.

Therefore, when it comes to financial strength, the business tycoons that 14K has joined are far inferior to Fang Hexuan.

It is a rare occasion that Mr. Fang has shown some goodwill towards 14K. Hu Xuyong and other gang leaders who are very good at judging the situation will certainly not miss the opportunity.

There are more than 14 K members, and there are many "talented" people in the society.

For example, the most famous drag racing king Liu Guoxiong was the candidate chosen by Hu Xuyong.

For this purpose, he specially invited Mao Dunhua and Mao Zai (Chen Zhenhui) to have a meal together.

I just hope they can persuade Liu Guoxiong to participate in BYD's test driver selection.

Liu Guoxiong is Mao Zai's younger brother and can be considered a peripheral member of the "Thirteen Tigers of Tsz Wan Shan".

But Zhang Zengjie died 100% at the hands of Fang Hexuan. Even if it was his own fault, Mao Dunhua and Mao Zai still couldn't let go of this knot in their hearts.

Now they have to ask their younger brothers to work for their enemies. How can they not feel aggrieved?

Hu Xuyong had to persuade them with all kinds of words, complaining and making all kinds of promises, before they reluctantly agreed.

In fact, Liu Guoxiong didn't feel anything about Zhang Zengjie's death. The brotherhood in the society was already weak, and he was not his boss. Talking about hatred was nonsense.

Therefore, when Mao Dunhua and the boss Chen Zhenhui found him, he agreed without much thought.

Unlike Zhan Changsheng, Liu Guoxiong is actually more like Luo Lixian.

They all started by learning how to repair cars and progressed all the way to racing.

Moreover, both of them have a crazy side to their personalities.

For example, Liu Guoxiong later helped Zhang Ziqiang drive and engage in robbery crimes.

So, after getting tired of driving on paved roads in the city, he wanted to take on higher challenges.

BYD said in its recruitment advertisement that 40 test drivers would be sent to complex terrains around the world to conduct road tests.

Liu Guoxiong just wanted to see how complicated the terrain was and whether it was more interesting than city racing.

In short, BYD's recruitment of test drivers this time did indeed recruit a group of talented drivers, which was something Fang Hexuan did not expect later.

10月5日，受3号银行加息的不利因素影响，恒生指数暴跌120点，以1113.77点收市，比7月17日的最高点足足跌了38.5%。

In less than 3 months, the market has fallen to this level. Even the dumbest investor knows that the situation is not good.

There are many voices in society hoping that the Hong Kong government will step in to rescue the market.

Fang Hexuan scoffed at the idea of ​​"just wanting to eat meat and not wanting to be beaten".

No matter how much Hong Kong people claim that the mainland is backward, they are essentially the same as most Chinese people, pinning their hopes on the government, except that they are relying on foreigners. Two days later, under the pressure of the continued fermentation of public opinion, Hong Kong government official Murray MacLehose personally held a press conference at the Governor's House.

MacLehose first summarized the macroeconomic situation of the world and Hong Kong, and then pointed out the three major unfavorable factors in Hong Kong:
First, the continuous influx of immigrants has had a direct impact on Hong Kong, leading to a sharp increase in the labor force and indirectly limiting wage growth.

Second, the sharp rise in house and land prices has led to rising prices and high inflation rates.

Third, the continued depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar has helped the competitiveness of exported goods, but the overall poor world economic situation has led to a reduction in the total value of exports.

After a lot of nonsense, MacLehose finally got to the point - in the face of three unfavorable economic factors, the Hong Kong government will continue to maintain a non-intervention policy.

Deeply loved by Hong Kong people and the longest-serving governor, MacLehose's decision disappointed many Hong Kong citizens.

On that day, the Hang Seng Index fell another 83 points due to the negative policies of MacLehose, and Hong Kong stock investors were in mourning.

In fact, MacLehose will step down in a few months, and London has even chosen his successor.

Therefore, Mac also wants to be safe and sound at the end of his term.

It is obviously against human nature to expect him to be as high-spirited as when he first came to Hong Kong.

Don't think that the British don't know how to protect themselves.

As long as you are in the officialdom, cherishing your life is the norm, and those who risk their lives for the sake of others are heretics.

The former British Empire learned the civil service system from ancient China, and many of their civil servants and administrative officials also needed to pass exams and selections to be promoted slowly.

Therefore, since the road to promotion is not easy, keeping the official position must be the top priority.

Murray MacLehose was the most popular governor among Hong Kong people, but he was not a saint and had to consider his future after leaving Hong Kong and returning to London.

On October 10, after a half-year break, the big-nosed dragon drove a red sports car to the headquarters of DreamWorks Pictures.

It can’t be said that I took a break. In June, I followed the crew of "Cannonball Run" to several movie promotion events in the United States.

The film grossed $7200 million in North America, which was undoubtedly a success considering its production cost was only $1800 million.

DreamWorks can make a small profit, but if you want to make a big profit, I'm sorry, 20th Century Fox will bring out a lot of accounts to argue with you.

But the box office of "Cannonball Run" in Hong Kong was very average.

This caused many film companies that have been oppressed by DreamWorks to make strange remarks of gloating.

DreamWorks' president Liu Tianci was of course very depressed, but the big boss Fang Hexuan was actually enjoying it.

Although this was only a minor hit in Big Nose Dragon's second Hollywood film, the failure of the film at the Hong Kong box office still made him feel embarrassed.

At the same time, I began to doubt whether I was suitable for Hollywood.

This is exactly the result Fang Hexuan wanted. Only if Big Nose Dragon suffered a setback first, would he stay in Hong Kong and hone his skills for a few years.

The effect is still good. In recent months, Big Nose Dragon has frequently attended cocktail parties and various parties, and often went out to sea with his friends for fun. It is obvious that he is in a state of decline.

So Fang Hexuan asked DreamWorks to inform Big Nose Dragon and he wrote a script for him personally.

Big Nose Dragon has been avoiding Fang Hexuan in the past few months because he felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Mr. Fang invested a lot of money in the filming of "Cannonball Run".
