Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

June 20th.

When Zhao Donghuai, Qiu Shuzhen and others walked around the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" and returned to Hong Kong from the mainland, they sat down in the ATV office and received a report that Yan Chang and Director Hu from Shangmei Film Studio were here.

Zhao Donghuai told Azhen to invite the two big guys to come in quickly, and said to Zhang Min in surprise, "I asked the art factory during the Spring Festival, and they said that The Lion King will probably be finished in the fall, and it's here now? Is it completed ahead of schedule?"

I used to think that (The Lion King) could be included in the Lunar New Year schedule, but now? I'm afraid I won't be able to go directly to the summer season.

Zhang Min smiled and said, "Whether it's completed ahead of schedule, we'll know later, I guess so."

Those two are also very busy people. After all, they have been leading the animation film industry in the Mainland to take off, and many big leaders have great names in animation.

We rarely go out together unless something important happens.

Who made Kung Fu Panda, released in July 1987, so popular? In 1987, it grossed US$31 million in the first weekend in North America, US$33 million in the second week, and finally more than US$400 million in the global box office.

That was still an era when tickets in the Mainland cost 30 cents a ticket and there were only ten thousand theaters.

No, to be more precise, (Kung Fu Panda) was released in Europe and the United States in July 1987, and in East and Southeast Asia in August. Vanguard's first batch of mainland theaters opened at the end of September with the opening of (Jurassic Park 1). of.

Therefore, (Kung Fu Panda) was released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea after Jurassic Park 1, and then it went around the mainland again, accumulating a box office of 180 million yuan.

If mainland theaters had been the same as they are now, (Kung Fu Panda) might not have been able to break the global figure of US$500 million. How much foreign exchange would that be...

After a while, when Yan Chang and Director Hu walked in, Yan Chang directly bowed his hands and said, "Sheng Zhao, fortunately, the production of (The Lion King) has been completed, and the soundtrack, theme song, etc. have also been edited. Now you can arrange the schedule." That’s it.”

Zhao Donghuai was overjoyed and walked over to shake hands and thank you, "Thank you for your hard work. Just like Kung Fu Panda, after the movie is released, I will give you a 50 million yuan red envelope as a thank you gift..."

Don’t think he gave too much. Who made such a big animated movie project so profitable?

If Zhao Donghuai hadn't had many friends and great reputation, what would have been the social environment and demand for foreign exchange after the Kung Fu Panda 1 outbreak? Let Shangmei Factory free up another two years for him to produce a Zhao animated film for two full years?

That means he, Zhao Donghuai, has gained a lot of face...

The global box office of more than 450 million U.S. dollars is equivalent to more than 3.6 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if you pay 500 to 600 million in taxes, there will still be about 3 billion left. Zhao Donghuai and various theater chains generally take a 50% share. five.

After all, after rounds of business wars, the share-sharing agreement is relatively stable.

Moreover, what is distributed to theater chains in Hong Kong and Mainland China basically falls into Zhao Donghuai's own pocket. In fact, his income is about HK$17.8 billion.

This is just the box office, there will also be video tapes, as well as Kung Fu Panda pendants, dolls, cultural shirts and other series of profits!

It has been 23 months since July 1987.

Director Hu smiled and bowed again, "Zhao Sheng is so confident that we won't refuse, but what's next, a sequel to Kung Fu Panda??"

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "As promised before, there is no rush for the sequel. You can just make your own project first. When it is ready, I will arrange the global release."

"By the way, Zou Sheng from Jiahe is producing a new version (Havoc in Heaven). Although the copyrights of the Journey to the West and Fengshen series are public and anyone can film them, it is best not to directly conflict with us, otherwise it will We hurt each other..."

Director Hu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "We all understand this truth. We also know that if Zou Sheng made Havoc in Heaven, let's make Nezha Haohai. In 1979, Director Wang and Yan Chang made it The first version of Nezha is in the sea, and it won many international awards, but the release situation has been poor."

"Director Wang, please come with us to create another one that will hit theaters around the world. It will only get better and better as we gain more experience."

"After finishing (Kung Fu Panda) and (The Lion King), our entire team feels that our capabilities have improved a lot, and making another version will only be more high-quality."

Zhao Donghuai thought for a while and said, "It didn't work when it was released back then. In fact, we can try out the old version now and re-release it. Today is the 20th. My Wanjia Cinemas really have no schedule. There are too many good movies before and after."

"But you can try to release it in Princess Golden and Jiahe first? Then decide based on the situation whether to increase the number of copies and release it on a large scale in Mainland China or South Korea."

The 1979 version of Nezha Nao Hai, even if it is released in 2022, is still a peak in the field of Chinese animated films. It is just that it was released in Taiwan, Yulun, France and other places in those years, and it basically did not get much box office.

Yan Chang and Director Hu looked at each other, their eyes lit up and they were very moved, but Yan Chang was still a little embarrassed and said, "The version of Nezha Haohai 10 years ago only had Mandarin and English versions, not Cantonese versions. That was Going international, with English dubbing and subtitles.”

Zhao Donghuai smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, let's give it a try first. Look at the box office trend in two or three days. If it's not bad, then hurry up and make a Cantonese version. My ATV can help, and there are a lot of talents. Even if the box office is not good afterwards, the Cantonese version The animated film is broadcast on the ATV channel for free."

"You can sell a bunch of Nezha Naohai's cultural shirts, doll pendants, etc. to get some blood."

Yan Chang was overjoyed, "Then I'll go out and make phone calls now."

When these two people left and people began to arrange for the master tapes and numerous sub-tape copies to be transferred from the factory, Zhao Donghuai sat down and took a sip of tea. "Back then, this cartoon was not available in the island country or anywhere in the world." When it comes to the box office, it’s all the theater chain’s excuses for all kinds of dirty things.”

"Now that it's being re-released, I really hope it will become a hit."

"A-Zhen, please arrange for the announcement to be made. Let's talk about Kung Fu Panda Team. The masterpiece from many years ago (Nezha Hao Hai) will be released at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning at Golden Princess and Jiahe Cinema."

Of course Princess Jin and Golden Harvest have their own film screening processes, but they don't necessarily need to be screened across the board. They just need to give a certain number of theaters to see the ticket sales.

This summer release, plus Nezha Naohai and The Lion King? ? All I can say is that we really need to pull out the Golden Princess Cinema Line and the Jiahe Cinema Line to expand the total battlefield area.

There are also new songs by Zhang Guorong, Andy Lau, and Tan Yonglin, which will also start to hit the charts.

The theme song and soundtrack of The Lion King were also copied by Zhao Donghuai. The original theme song (Circle of Life) also won the 1994 Oscar for Best Original Music and the Golden Globe for Best Original Song.

It has also been the theme song of the Animal Kingdom in Disneyland.

His Tung Chung Jurassic Theme Park can also be expanded again and add a wave of animal kingdoms. After all, there are two national treasures of pandas in it that are cute to tourists all year round. Along with (The Lion King), some other animals will be added. How normal?

There is also a song (Love Is Unlimited Tonight), for which the lead singer won the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Pop Male Vocalist.

It also won the 1995 Oscar and Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Song.

Although Zhang Guorong is still studying Peking Opera in Beijing, and Andy Lau also has his own projects, this is a song to prepare for the big movie (The Lion King).

As early as around the Spring Festival, the trio of Zhang, Liu, and Tan had produced a single album that combined the two songs, but they had been hoarding it until the movie came out.

Now we can start to list, warm up, and then the movie is released, and then we can start a new round of sales.

………………

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Director Zhao had just finished lunch when he saw Ah Hong and He Qing coming out of the small suite together. When they saw him, they rushed to celebrate, "Boss, Wing Chun sold more than 3 million US dollars in its first weekend in North America." Knife, 11 million U.S. dollars next week..."

"Depending on the situation, it can also sell for 30 to 40 million U.S. dollars in North America. Then it can easily exceed 100 million U.S. dollars globally. This is my own heroine movie. I am so happy."

Zhao Donghuai was speechless and could only sigh with emotion, "This is just a global box office impact of more than 100 million US dollars. It is a waste of action superstars such as Cheng Long, Jet Li, Andy Lau, Zhou Xinghua and others to play supporting roles for you."

Wing Chun is released on the 10th. For Hong Kong Island, it opens at 8 a.m. on the 10th. For North America, it opens at 5 p.m. on the 10th. Therefore, there is only one Saturday night slot and all day on Sunday during the first weekend, which costs more than 3 million US dollars. , not bad.

Breaking $10 million next week? The total trend is about 30 to 40 million.

At this stage, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Andy Lau, Yuen Biao and others, no matter who is the leading actor, they all have that level of appeal.

Of course Ah Hong also knows that this is a big name in Tianhu, and it has been turned into an ordinary one. After all, the last version of the wanted poster, with its superstars gathered together, cost 781 million US dollars worldwide.

She has only been able to afford more than 100 million U.S. dollars. The huge gap is simply a waste.

But the reality is this. In this era, Kung Fu movies with female protagonists are still not enough to carry the box office. Even after Ah Hong has a number of Olympic championship-level physical fitness, her fighting scenes are much more beautiful and handsome than the original Michelle Yeoh.

Still like that.

However, this version of Wing Chun is also the most representative masterpiece besides Ah Hong (My Sassy Girl)!

(Juno) (Cat and Mouse) and other movies only have a global revenue of over 100 million US dollars.

He Qingxuan said happily, "I rarely have outstanding roles in film projects, but this time I feel pretty good..."

"Also, you already owe me four or five days of spring rain. You need to make up for it."

………………

At Kai Tak Airport, when a flight from Seoul landed, A-Zha took A-Han and A-Wei off the plane, feeling a little dazed, "Gan, those guys from the Four Heavenly Kings Gang are so enthusiastic. They know that we He is here to help Zhao Sheng, and he will entertain us for more than ten days."

"My legs are weak..."

Ahan was also a little shy and said with emotion, "It's really a great help to do things for Zhao Sheng. Brother Zha, what should we do next?"

Ah Zha thought for a while, "Since Zhao Sheng wants to promote fashion brands and sell goods, whether it is Hong Kong Island Fashion Week or the promotion (The Queen of Five Thousand Years), he is promoting the brand."

"Let's talk to some island guys?"

"In fact, in all parts of East and Southeast Asia, although Wanjia has only entered the province of Benzhou and South Korea, other parties from Star, Malaysia and Thailand, as well as some Han Tianxia, ​​Dongfang, and Five Thousand Years chain stores have entered, renting stores and recruiting local clerks to sell clothes."

"It's just that the island country market has not entered... I heard Zhao Sheng say before that the island country's real estate is too high and too high at this stage. It will be easier to do things after the real estate market collapses."

"Otherwise, if you just rent a store locally and hire shop assistants to sell clothes, your monthly profit may not be as high as the increase in rent and labor wages."

Ahan suddenly nodded, "This is a way. If there are people from the island country who are willing to rent a store without raising the rent, they can try to enter the island country market."

Ah Han also understood. Although Ah Zha is not very smart and his moral integrity is a million points lower, he did have a senior position in the Pan-Asia Group and had heard a lot of inside information that the outside world didn't even know.

Wanjia stores have spread all over Hong Kong and South Korea, and even some important cities in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand have opened some clothing chain stores.

Only island countries don’t have it, why?

Ahan didn't know why in the past, but he didn't understand it just by listening to it. Real estate prices vary a lot every year, and the rent for renting a house also rises a lot every few months. If he only sells clothes and doesn't increase the price, then all the profits will be given to him. The landlord.

Avi looked confused, "Isn't this difficult to handle??"

Ah Zha nodded, "Wait for me to make a call and ask...Brother Zha, since I did this job, I have my previous qualifications. Now it is not difficult to find people to inquire about various information."

Night falls.

Ah Zha, Da Liu, and Xiao Liu were sitting in a private room of Good Fortune, listening to Wan Ziliang describing the content of the script (The King of Deceivers) that was still being gradually improved. The more they listened, the brighter their eyes became.

Then Ah Zha raised his glass and said, "Brother Liang, can this kind of thing really happen in reality?? This is really a good guy. According to the script, you, the super liar king in Hong Kong, are going to defraud tens of thousands of people and defraud tens of thousands of people." A billion dollar ruthless man.”

Wan Ziliang was full of emotions, "Yes, this kind of thing really happened in history. After World War I, there was an Italian who defrauded more than 40,000 people in Boston within a year and made away with a huge amount of wealth."

"If we use various modern financial companies and investment companies to cross-operate and pretend to be more sophisticated, there is really hope that it can be realized..."

"After all, the original script I got was in which the male protagonist easily defrauded a police station, and almost everyone from top to bottom fell into the trap."

You said that when Azha was asking for information, how could he find out about Wan Ziliang and even talk about the script that was being perfected? It was he who went to meet Pan Asia Ahe...

He wanted to ask Mr. He, how can we help Han Tianxia, ​​Dongfang, Wuqianan, etc. to set up some chain stores without spending money when the island country's real estate is so popular?

Mr. He complained on the spot, are you dreaming? Robbery of banks can't keep up with the growth of real estate. Do you think you can defraud billions of dollars a year like the King of Scams script sets out?

Ah Zha straightened his eyes on the spot, and then found Lao Wan.

The next moment, Wan Ziliang smiled again and said, "Brother Zha, if you are serious, you can read about the specific process of Ponzi schemes in history. Read more and increase your knowledge."

After a pleasant meal of hotpot, Ah Zha got a little drunk. When he was picking his teeth with a toothpick, he looked at Da Liu and said, "A Han, do you think we can really imitate it?"

"Zhao's big movies are not linked to reality once or twice. The earliest one (Never Compromise) shines into reality, and the other (Memories of Murder) shines into reality..."

"Another version of the Tokyo-style Ponzi scheme is not bad at all."

"It's not too difficult to cause trouble in Tokyo. The Eagle Gang and the Tiger Gang have fewer and fewer targets, and they are about to lose their jobs. But they have strong and abundant force. Ahan and Awei, you have brains. …”

"I will be the planner and defraud him of billions of dollars. If we run away and launder the money, we can buy a lot of real estate in Tokyo, right?"

"Let's make a big deal out of him. When King of Liars is released in the future, we will become famous all over the world."

Liu Ahan's heart was pounding, "Brother Zha, where can I find the real information about Ponzi schemes in history?"

Azha said, "Of course it's the library."

………………

The 21st.

The 1979 version (Nezha Nao Hai) was released in 13 theaters of Jiahe and Golden Princess, with an average of six to seven hundred or thousand people in large theaters.

The occupancy rate is basically maintained at 20 to 30% in the morning, around 40% in the afternoon, and during the peak period at night, the occupancy rate is 70%.

This is because there is no Cantonese version, June 21st is only a Wednesday.

When the 22nd arrived, Zhao Donghuai got the data. The total box office of (Nezha Naohai) yesterday was 490,000 Hong Kong dollars. He immediately smiled, "Yes, what the mainland brought out this time was the version of the International French Animation Film Festival, 105 minutes... …”

"Yesterday, from 8 am to 12 pm, there were only eight screenings scheduled, with an average box office of more than HK$60,000 per show, which is not bad."

Qiu Shuzhen exclaimed, "The main reason is that (Kung Fu Panda) produced by Yan Chang and Director Hu's team was so successful. In the eyes of Hong Kong Haowan audiences, those technical masters in the field of animated films are the best in Asia and are the glory of us Chinese people." ah."

"This momentum was created thanks to solid word-of-mouth and the fact that young children, teenagers and girls like to watch cartoons. Moreover, the theme of Nezha Hao Hai is extremely popular. However, the average attendance rate throughout the day yesterday was only about 45%. , not even 50%.”

"If the number of all-day shows continues to be 12 per day, and the attendance rate remains at around 50%, the daily box office will be around 800,000."

"The attendance rate of 60% is more than 900,000 people a day, and the attendance rate of 70% is more than 1.1 million people a day!"

It was in these words that Zhang Min reported that Yan Chang and Director Hu had arrived.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and invited the two people in. As soon as they came in, Yan Chang bowed his hands again, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. Thank you very much. Yesterday, we only arranged eight screenings, and the box office was only 490,000 Hong Kong dollars. There is hope for repayment!"

Director Hu smiled from ear to ear, "Originally I thought that only by remaking a version of Nezha Naohai could we hope to earn foreign exchange at the box office, and live up to the trust of the leaders. I didn't expect that the 1979 version would be such a huge profit earner. If so, then we will have to change the project next time.”

"Director Wang has also come from the mainland. If there is a program scheduled for the announcement, all of us will follow the instructions! Fight wherever you are directed."

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Relax, let's arrange a few talk shows to announce the movie first. To be honest, Hong Kong Haowan fans are also curious about animation masters like you."

"In a few days, primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong will have holidays one after another. More and more people will take their parents to watch Nezha Naohai. It will not be difficult for this big animated movie to make back the money, and it should not be bad at making money."

Everything is as Zhao Donghuai expected. The box office of (Nezha Nao Hai) in Hong Kong Island on the 21st was 490,000, on the 22nd it was 820,000, and on the 23rd it was 840,000. The average attendance throughout the day was maintained at about 50%.

It’s Saturday the 24th? The attendance rate suddenly exploded to 70%, with a daily box office of 1.15 million and a box office of HK$1.18 million on Sunday 25th. Many children were like watching (Kung Fu Panda) back then. They wanted to watch it a second time after watching it once.

Then it’s fine for middle school students to watch movies, but elementary school students basically bring their parents into the theater.

The box office for the first five days was 4.49 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not a very strong result. For example, when the movie Wanted was released, the box office exceeded 4 million in one day, and exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars in two or three days. These are all basic achievements.

But don’t forget, this is only 13 theaters showing continuous screenings in Golden Harvest and Golden Princess Cinemas. This is an achievement achieved under the suppression of the big movies (Swordsman) and (Wing Chun).

According to the current trend of "Nezha Naohai", if it is screened for more time in the summer, it will not be difficult for the Hong Kong box office to break 20 million Hong Kong dollars. It still refers to the performance under the suppression of various live-action blockbusters.

If there is a big schedule like (Kung Fu Panda), the prime time slot will be the best, let alone 20 million, Hong Kong Island will have a chance to exceed 30 million.

In this era, any movie with a box office of more than 30 million in Hong Kong is definitely a blockbuster movie.

Even so, Yan Chang, Director Hu, and Director Wang couldn't stop being happy. After all, when this movie was released in Taiwan, South Korea, and Yulun between 1980 and 1982, there was basically no box office data.

In the past few days, the production team of Shangmei Film Factory, including Zhao's Pictures, has been frantically adding copies, copying more film tapes, and the Cantonese dubbing version was released at the speed of light.

According to the total daily box office in the mainland, it has exceeded 60 million yuan per day. Even if it is released for a long time, Wanjia and New Era only arrange 10% of the film schedule, and it is possible to cut more than 100 million yuan in a month.

If it enters Europe and the United States, Europe and North America each explodes to more than 10 million US dollars, it will be a big profit.

June 26 is also the last week of June this year.

(The Queen Who Went Through Five Thousand Years) has not only announced that it has hit Europe, the United States, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, but is just waiting for its release date...

Zhao Donghuai just received a strange news, "Zha and the two Liu brothers went to Tokyo to play a Ponzi scheme??"

"This is a really good guy!"

If those guys were playing this in Hong Kong Island or the Mainland, Director Zhao would definitely let them feel the taste of justice coming from heaven. He set the tone and changed the script setting (Pig Mark Clan) and let the screenwriting team improve the project.

I just want people to know some scams and tricks so they won’t be deceived.

But those three went to Tokyo to harm the island country guys? ? The Heisei era is here, this year is the first year of Heisei, and that guy is rushing to get off to a good start in Heisei.

Forget it, life or death is up to you.

Of course, in order to create a big Ponzi scheme, it would definitely not be possible to rely solely on Ah Zha, Liu Da Ahan and Liu Er Awei. Along with them, there were also the Eagle Gang who took off from Seoul and the people invited by the Eagle Gang. Professional financier, accounting staff team.

There are many financial investment companies to open, and those are all Korean professionals selected by the Four Heavenly Kings.

After arriving in Tokyo, just like the Four Heavenly Kings Gang took root in Seoul, the Tiger Gang who took root in Tokyo will also recruit certain professionals from the island country to work.

The Tiger Gang is also very powerful. They are all elite members of the mainland Land Rover team. They have some thugs who have robbed military vehicles. It's outrageous!

"Forget it, don't think about it that much. I'm just an ordinary filmmaker. There are gangsters and bad guys who copy the script and do things... I'm not an island policeman. Don't worry, let Pan Asia contact Azha and let him Do a good job of customer research, and try to limit your money to only cheating bad people in the society, dog gambling, and all kinds of arrogant and domineering young people. Don't prey on ordinary citizens, and stop there."

Just then the phone rang, and when he picked it up, he heard Zhou Huimin's happy laughter, "Brother Huai, my mother and I have returned to Hong Kong Island. The first wave of travel is over."

"After having lunch with my mother, we will go to the ATV headquarters. You need to give me a little more help."

Zhao Donghuai touched Xiaoxian's single ponytail and responded calmly, "It must be no problem."

Joey Wong is currently performing "Meet on a Narrow Road, the Brave Wins!"

………………

Thursday, June 29.

A serious movie trailer and poster were used to promote the official release of the movie (The Queen of 5,000 Years) which had been released for less than half a month.

The first night slot in North America brought in more than 3 million U.S. dollars at the box office, and 6 million U.S. dollars on Friday the 30th. Entering July on Saturday and Sunday, it contributed a total of 17 million U.S. dollars.

That adds up to more than $26 million.

This is still not as good as the data of the original version of Prada. After all, the original version had the bonus of a bestseller and a fan base, so it grossed more than 27 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend.

But when a bunch of data was sent back to Hong Kong Island, Zhao Donghuai was already very satisfied. Not only him, Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min were also surprised.

Two beautiful girls who were born as little secretaries, it is said that they finally have a real big representative. In the past, I have appeared in the Overlord Flower series of movies, and in (The Legend of White Snake) and other movies and TV series, but none of them can match the weight of (The Queen of 5,000 Years)!

Although this big movie has already won awards before it was officially announced, and Jane even won the Cannes Best Actress trophy, awards are one thing, and box office is another.

After all, Azhen also knows that Zhao Donghuai has a strong ability to operate awards and is very ruthless in opening back doors. Adjani is also the vice chairman of the jury... How powerful is this back door?

And the higher the global box office is, the more we are witnessing what this big movie looks like in front of the audience.

The opening weekend in North America was 26 million US dollars, the opening weekend in Europe was 19 million US dollars, the four-day sales in Hong Kong was 12 million Hong Kong dollars, and the provincial sales were 13 million Hong Kong dollars. The four-day filming rate in the mainland was 70%. The trend was about 25 million yuan on weekdays and about 25 million yuan on weekends. Zi exploded into the 40 million, 45 million level.

Breaking 100 million in four days!

South Korea spent 23 million Hong Kong dollars in four days, and the island countries contributed 400 million yen, which is equivalent to 26 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is truly a blockbuster that broke out the opening of this summer's summer season. Zhao Donghuai was a little surprised to find that in Europe and the United States, this movie should not be able to achieve the achievements of the original work.

But in the end, the global box office may not be lower than the original work. It may be more than US$300 million globally, because the mainland box office is bursting...

It exceeded 100 million in four days, and the box office in the mainland will be around 400 million yuan by the time it is released. There is still a lot of hope. The figures in the province and South Korea will be much higher than the original film.

Among the major projects in the film and television industry at this stage, the total box office in East and Southeast Asia is really no worse than the North American market alone.

Ten o'clock in the morning on July 3rd.

When Zhao Donghuai was running in the sweltering heat and in the sweltering rain showers, He Qing accompanied him to exercise this time. With Sister Qing here, there would definitely be no careerists coming to visit.

More than a month has passed. Ah Qing, who had shaved her head for Wing Chun, has grown back more than two centimeters of black hair. She has a new hairstyle that is not bad. Normal people start growing hair from a bald head. Everyone grows hair. There are differences in speed.

But the average growth is about one centimeter a month, and Ah Qing... doubles the growth.

As soon as the two of them ran near Jixiong Mountain in Sha Tin Au, a bodyguard who was following behind quickly stepped forward and said, "Boss, I just received news that a typhoon is coming, and it was only detected by the observatory."

"It is estimated that it will land in Hong Kong and Kowloon in three hours. It is a typhoon signal No. 3."

Zhao Donghuai was slightly surprised. The typhoon warning was issued a little late this time. You must know that the typhoon season is from May to September every year, with August being the strongest.

As for the observatory's early warning, the long-term warning can be one or two days, or even three or four days in advance, while the slow warning can usually be several hours in advance, leaving enough time for citizens to take shelter.

After traveling for more than 6 years, he has naturally become accustomed to it.

However, 3 hours is enough. The No. 3 typhoon signal is not too harmful. It is basically a force 89 wind plus heavy rain.

When an extended version of the Cadillac Grand Commander No. 1 drove over, He Qing suddenly said, "Brother Huai, how about we drive outside and play by ourselves? The No. 3 typhoon signal is not outrageous..."

Zhao Donghuai looked at Sister Qing in surprise, how could someone want to try some trick to commit suicide?

………………

The streets of Tokyo.

Liu Dahan looked at a handsome South Korean boy who knew Japanese, bowing and bending down at the intersection, handing out flyers one by one. His expression became more and more weird the more he looked at it.

Avi came over and said, "The first financial company has just been established five days ago. It was just put up the front the day before yesterday, and these South Koreans are working day and night? Damn it, I feel like they are more concerned about it than us."

The batches of South Koreans who landed in Tokyo on June 26 were under the command of the Eagle Gang, registering companies, or acquiring some small financial companies, and quickly integrated into the new environment.

Distributing flyers, entering the company to give lectures to customer groups, etc., each one is more excited and more passionate than the other.

The investment profit scale with a monthly interest rate of 20% is higher than the genuine Ponzi scheme after World War I, and also greatly exceeds the average appreciation rate of the island country's stocks and real estate.

It has begun to attract some citizens to test the waters by investing a few thousand to ten or twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars per day. With initial interest rebates and the like, the Eagle Gang and the Tokyo Tiger Gang all have a certain amount of principal. returned to the customer.

Their capital is still relatively generous.

The Tiger Gang itself has been taking root in Tokyo for more than a year, and has a large circle of local associations, including criminal police officers and congressmen.

So they came to cause trouble, and Ahan and Awei discovered that the matter went more smoothly than they expected.

Of course, the superficial presidents, presidents, etc. of each company are all South Koreans and islanders. Are they the masterminds and early financial backers behind the scenes? It's all anonymous and invisible.

In the end, even if it comes to the stage of closing the net with big thunder, just throw out a bunch of white gloves.

Ah Han looked at it a few more times, distributed flyers with great enthusiasm, and explained in detail what financial management is to South Koreans who met curious citizens...

After taking a puff of the cigarette, he threw it on the ground and stamped it out, "Fuck, in just a few days, some investors introduced by some peripheral members of the Tiger Gang invested hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. This snowball rolled too fast."

"Don't think about other messy things. Go back and learn English. When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I didn't understand Cantonese. When I went to South Korea, I didn't understand Korean. When I came to Tokyo, I was deaf and blind. It's so fucked up."

While the Ponzi scheme was in its infancy, they still had plenty of time, but they had to learn a foreign language!
