Although Xiang Nan has achieved success in his career, Wang Jing mentioned before that the matter of investing in Du Qifeng's film company has never been followed, making Xiang Nan feel very depressed.
He originally wanted to cooperate with Du Qifeng to make some good movies.
So he then called Wang Jing and asked how it was going.
Unexpectedly, after receiving the call, Wang Jing hesitated and hesitated, far less happy than before.
"Director Wang, what happened? You and I are friends. If you have something to say, don't hide it." Xiang Nan urged.
"My senior brother still has some concerns about using your funds for filming. If we want to cooperate, we can only wait for the next time." Wang Jing explained.
Xiang Nan was taken aback, but he wasn't too surprised.
The main reason is that in the past few years, when Hong Kong movies were on fire, a movie could earn millions or tens of millions, so the money was touching and attracted many associations to get involved.
A lot of unpleasant things happened during the period. For example, Andy Lau's agent was put in the head with a gun; Liang Jiahui was **** to Southeast Asia to film; Li Lianjie's agent was directly shot; Huang Baiming's copy of "A Happy Family" was robbed and so on.
Because they have done so many evil things, the entertainment industry is also extremely disgusted with the clubs, hating them to the bone, and even took to the streets many times, calling on the Hong Kong government and the police to take action to maintain the purity and safety of the entertainment industry.
Because of this, Xiang Nan was also implicated. After learning that he was a fit man from Yau Ma Tei, Du Qifeng would rather have no money to start a show than use his funds.
"Well, it doesn't matter, there is no righteousness in buying and selling." Xiang Nan laughed.
For him, it is indeed a pity that he failed to invest in Galaxy Image, but it is not a big deal.
On the one hand, investing in movies is actually a very risky thing, especially now that Hong Kong movies are in decline, investing in movies may not be a hit among ten. Therefore, even big companies like Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Yongsheng have reduced their investment in this environment.
On the one hand, he still has a lot of good projects to invest in, so it really doesn't make sense to stick to the film industry. For example, next year will be the Asian financial crisis, and Xiang Nan has already started planning ahead of schedule.
…
After a while, Jiang Tiansheng took Xiang Nan to visit many detectives and dignitaries.
Xiang Nan knew that Jiang Tiansheng intended to train him to be his successor, so he successively showed him his cards.
The reason why Jiang Tiansheng chose him as his successor was that he was loyal enough and made many military exploits. More importantly, 1997 is coming.
In "Enter the Dragon", Pulsatilla, the leader of Dongxing, said that the Jiang family has already registered with the above, and the above is very dissatisfied with the Jiang family. It would be very dangerous for Jiang Tiansheng to continue to be the leader, and he might be dismissed one day, so he must find someone to take over.
But Jiang Tiansheng's descendants are not in Xiangjiang, and Xiang Nan has never even heard of it. Obviously, they are well protected and will not get involved in the club business at all.
This is normal. The older generation has earned enough, and with their resource support, the new generation can maintain their business in a decent way, so naturally they don’t need to go on evil paths.
Just like in "Dragon City Years 2", Jimmy planned the way for his children, that is, his son to be a doctor and his daughter to be a lawyer.
When Director Shi said that he was required to turn He Liansheng into a "family world" and let his children continue to inherit the leader's position, he even collapsed to the point of crying, feeling hopeless.
And Jiang Tiansheng has more resources than Jimmy. After all, his previous generation started to be the leader, and he started the layout early. It is estimated that his descendants have already established a family in a foreign country and have a successful career. It is impossible for him to return to Hong Kong to inherit the club business.
In this case, he must find someone to take over.
…
Originally the suitable candidate was Jiang Tianyang, but Jiang Tianyang had no interest in succeeding at all. It is better for him to be the local emperor in Thailand than to be the leader in Xiangjiang. Moreover, his background was so clean that even the Xiangjiang police didn't pay attention to him.
In fact, if Jiang Tiansheng hadn't died suddenly, Jiang Tianyang would not have been ordered to come to Xiangjiang to clean up the mess. And even if he returned to Xiangjiang as the leader, he never got involved in any specific business, but only acted as a mediator, responsible for bridging the conflicts among the fitters.
Waited until 2000, when the club was basically on the right track, he handed over the leading position to Chen Haonan, and went back to Thailand to live in seclusion. It can be seen that Jiang Tianyang does not want to take over this mess.
Since this is the case, Xiang Nan is the only one who can carry the banner after counting the twelve fitters of Hong Xing.
…
And if Xiang Nan wants to take over smoothly, then these connections must be handed over to him.
Otherwise, without enough connections, the association would not last long, and an anti-mafia group would be able to wipe out Hong Xing.
In the movie "People in the Rivers and Lakes", the reason why Jiang Tiansheng so happily gave up his position as the leader and let Liang Kun come up, is actually because he has no connections to support him, and Liang Kun will not be the leader for long.
When Hong Xing was shattered by the blow and Liang Kun was unable to hold on, they would naturally beg him to come back and preside over the overall situation. When the time comes, he will take back the leading position without fighting or grabbing.
Moreover, over and over again, those fit people will know how powerful he is, and they will not dare to sway their minds.
So it's very pitiful to see Jiang Tiansheng being kicked out of the leader's throne. In fact, he is in the atmosphere.
And this is why Xiang Nan saved Jiang Tiansheng in the Netherlands.
Because Jiang Tiansheng hadn't handed over his contacts at the time, so once he died, Xiang Nan wouldn't be able to last long even if he was able to rise to the position.
And this is also the reason why, after Jiang Tiansheng died, the twelve fitters of Hongxing did not compete for the top spot, but instead went to Thailand to invite the reclusive Jiang Tianyang out of the mountain.
Because Jiang Tian couldn't raise a mountain, these short mules who climbed up from the bottom, without the support of their connections, couldn't support Hong Xing's overall situation at all.
…
"Anan, I have almost introduced you to the people here in Xiangjiang." Jiang Tiansheng said to Xiang Nan, "Tomorrow I will take you to Thailand to meet someone."
"Very well, Mr. Jiang." Xiang Nan nodded, knowing that he was going to introduce Jiang Tianyang.
Jiang Tianyang went to Thailand to develop when he was young, and basically ignored the affairs of Xiangjiang, and even the Xiangjiang police had no information about him.
In fact, this is also a game of chess played by Jiang Zhen. When Jiang Tianyang went to Thailand, it was the 1970s. At that time, the Independent Commission Against Corruption had just been established. Many corrupt officials and police officers were attacked, and various associations in Hong Kong were also within the scope of the attack.
Therefore, Jiang Zhen sent his son to Thailand. On the one hand, he preserved the blood for the Jiang family, so as not to be taken over by others; on the other hand, he paved a way for the Jiang family.
This is the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit.
