Chapter 228 Take action
The harsh words that Wong Yuk-long said before he left were somewhat bluffing, but they were indeed his true thoughts.
Even though he had taken Fang's money and had to be a knife for him, it didn't mean he wouldn't risk everything if he was forced into a corner.
As I walked out of the Peninsula Hotel and was about to get in the car, I noticed a flash of light.
He looked around and found several groups of people standing on the side of the hotel gate, all taking pictures of themselves with cameras.
Huang Yulang, who just felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief after being away from that bastard, suddenly became angry again.
There is no need to think too much, these people can only be arranged by that bastard Fang Hexuan.
In other words, the news of his secret meeting with Mr. Fang at the Peninsula Hotel would be known to all Hong Kong people as early as the afternoon.
This further confirmed other people's speculation that he was a "traitor" and a "traitor".
Fang Hexuan's move directly blocked Huang Yulang's escape route, forcing him to go down the same path to the end.
He cursed at the reporters angrily, not caring whether they could hear him or not, and then drove away.
Before starting the fight with Fang Hexuan, Wong Yuk-long wanted to seek help from his fellow Chaozhou people.
But later, Mr. Fang did not deal with him directly, which made him hesitate.
If I go directly to a big shot like Li Huanggua and hope that he will help me, what will be the reason and cost?
His own company is doing well now. Even if it faces competitive pressure from Fang Hexuan's entry, that is a problem for the future after all.
But once Chaoshan Li is brought in, it will be easier to invite the gods than to send them away.
Wong Yuk-long is a smart person, but he also has the problem of not being decisive enough.
He thought about it carefully, but still felt that it was not the right time.
He took out the check from his pocket, looked at the number on it, and gritted his teeth.
"My dear colleagues, if you want to blame someone, blame Fang. I was also forced to do this!"
He closed his eyes and thought silently.
After discussion, the 19 comic companies finally selected a representative to request to communicate and negotiate with Fang Hexuan.
But not surprisingly, he was turned down.
In anger, the industry alliance, which had lost the backbone of Yulang International, was so shameless that it spent money to accuse Fang Hexuan in several newspapers, criticizing him for wanting to escalate the situation and having no attitude towards solving the problem.
These public accusations still did not receive a personal response from Fang Hexuan, as if the other party simply didn't bother to pay attention.
Fang Hexuan still proceeded at his own pace. He then asked the Oriental Daily to publish the news of his previous meeting with Wong Yuk-long at the Peninsula Hotel.
As soon as this news came out, many people who were just watching the show shook their heads and said “I didn’t expect it”.
Everyone naturally understood that it was a joint effort between Mr. Fang and Yulang International to stage a good show with the purpose of strangling other comic companies.
"Such a hot wrist!"
The alliance of nineteen comic book companies also let out cries and wails.
Some people even called Wong Yuk-long directly to question him, but the other party only listened for a few seconds and hung up immediately without even thinking of responding.
This made these companies even more convinced that this was a conspiracy that had been planned long ago.
The problem now is that even though I want to see Fang Hexuan and beg for mercy, the other party won’t even let me meet him.
They wanted to contact Wong Yuk-long to get to the bottom of the matter, but the call was unreachable. Even when they went to his company and blocked the door, they got nothing. Everyone was suffering from the fear of being plotted against.
Then, the day after Oriental Daily reported the incident, Fang Hexuan leaked certain information and materials to the media and the ICAC.
This is a major scandal. If it is a listed company, it may be an unfavorable situation that causes its stock price to plummet.
Among the 19 companies, some were directly investigated by the ICAC, and the management of some companies were taken away for questioning.
The Oriental Daily News followed up on all the reports, and its intention to take advantage of the situation to step on them was too obvious.
While some companies are being investigated by the government, the remaining companies that have not yet been investigated are receiving acquisition offers.
The person who wanted to acquire them was none other than Huang Yulang, the boss of Yulang International who had brought them together in the first place to fight back against Fang Hexuan.
The anger of being deceived and betrayed led the bosses and management of several companies to directly refuse to be acquired, and even told the media that everything was a shameful conspiracy.
However, Hong Kong citizens are no longer interested in such statements. Now that things have come to this point, as spectators, how can we not understand?
We can only blame these companies for being stupid and being fooled.
Others think that this is a very interesting and advanced business war case, and can be included in the business courses of universities in Hong Kong.
Under Fang Hexuan's instructions, Wong Yuk-lang took all kinds of negative information and threw it directly in the faces of the bosses of these companies.
He threatened them, "Either I will continue to report you and ruin your reputation and make you eat royal meals in Stanley Prison, or you should sell the company while it still has some value."
Those photos and financial bills are not fake. If they were really handed over to the police and the ICAC, I'm afraid many people would be treated more than just a simple invitation for tea.
Under the coercion and intimidation of the shameless traitor Wong Yuk-long, six companies were forced to sell themselves to Yuk-long International or Wong Yuk-long himself.
Of course, the news of these acquisitions was still published in full by the Oriental Daily.
Wong Yuk-long not only became the victorious party, but also became a "conspirator" and "liar" despised by many people in Hong Kong.
This sanctimonious hypocrite initially claimed to unite other comic companies to oppose Fang Hexuan's entry into the comic industry, but in the end he was the one who swallowed up his allies.
Many Hong Kong citizens took it for granted that this was the truth, and lamented that "it turns out that only by becoming shameless can you make money."
The six acquired companies are basically asset-light comics companies, and what is truly valuable are the IP and sales channels.
However, this so-called "value" is only worth a few million Hong Kong dollars at most.
Wong Yuk-long only used less than HK$4000 million out of Fong Hok-hin's HK$6 million to easily take down six comic book rivals, which made him feel that being rich is really cool.
Even though the market value of Yulang International, a listed company, is 500 to 600 million yuan, all of Huang Yulang's shares converted into cash would be around 300 million yuan.
However, the funds he could actually mobilize were only around tens of millions at most. He had thought about taking on other opponents before, but due to insufficient funds, he could only accumulate enough strength step by step.
Six of the 19 companies have already been acquired, and the remaining 6 are either being investigated or awaiting investigation.
Even if the investigation is completed, their fate will be either to accept fines from the Hong Kong government or to go bankrupt.
Fang Hexuan's requirement is to kill them all and not give Huang Yulang any room to be indecisive.
But Wong Yuk-long just couldn't say it out. After all, he and Yuk-long International had no less scandals than these companies.
