Although Xiang Nan has achieved success in his career, the investment in Du Qifeng Film Company, which Wang Jing mentioned before, has never been followed up, which makes Xiang Nan feel very depressed.
He originally wanted to collaborate with Du Qifeng and make some good movies.
So he then called Wang Jing to ask how it was going.
Unexpectedly, after Wang Jing received the call, he hesitated and was far less happy than before.
"Director Wang, what happened? You and I are both friends. If you have anything to say, say it directly. There is no need to be secretive." Xiang Nan urged after seeing this.
"My senior brother is still a little worried about using your funds for filming. If we want to cooperate, we can only wait until next time." Wang Jing explained.
Xiang Nan was stunned, but he wasn't too surprised.
The main reason is that a few years ago, when Hong Kong movies were a big hit, one movie could earn millions or tens of millions. Therefore, the money attracted people's hearts and attracted many societies to get involved.
Many unpleasant things happened during this period. For example, Andy Lau's agent had a gun put to his head; Liang Jiahui was kidnapped to Southeast Asia for filming; Jet Li's agent was directly shot dead; Huang Baiming's copy of "Happy Events at Home" was robbed and so on.
Precisely because they have done so many evil things, the entertainment industry is extremely disgusted with the associations and hates them to the core. They have even taken to the streets many times to call on the Hong Kong government and 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 start the show without money than use his funds.
"Okay, it doesn't matter, business cannot be done without righteousness." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
For him, it was indeed a pity that he failed to successfully invest in Galaxy Image, but it was not a big deal.
On the one hand, investing in movies is actually a very risky thing, especially now that Hong Kong movies are declining. If you invest in movies, one out of ten may not be a hit. Therefore, even large companies such as Jiahe, Shaw Brothers, and Yongsheng have reduced investment in this environment.
On the one hand, he still has many good projects to invest in, so he really can’t stick to the movie industry. For example, next year will be the Asian financial crisis, and Xiang Nan has already started planning in advance.
…
After a period of time, 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 showed him his trump cards one after another.
The reason why Jiang Tiansheng chose him as his successor was not only because he was loyal enough and had repeatedly made military exploits. What's more important is that 1997 is coming.
In "Enter the Dragon", the leader of the East Star, the White-headed Man, said that the Jiang family had already registered with it, and the superiors were very dissatisfied with the Jiang family. It would be very dangerous for Jiang Tiansheng to continue to be the leader. He might be eliminated 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 them. They are obviously well protected and will not get involved in society business at all.
This is normal. The older generation has made enough money, and with their resource support, the new generation can maintain a decent business, so there is no need to take evil paths.
Just like in "Dragon City Years 2", Jimmy's plan for his children is that his son will become a doctor and his daughter will become a lawyer. They are both decent and noble professions.
When Director Shi heard that he wanted him to turn He Liansheng into a "family world" and let his children continue to inherit the leading position, he even broke down to the point of crying and had no hope for life.
Because he knows that out of ten dwarf mules, nine will fall to the bottom, and the world will be difficult to navigate. He doesn't want his children to die like Dad, A Le, and Dumbledore in the future.
Jiang Tiansheng has more resources than Jimmy. After all, his predecessor has been the leader and started the layout early. It is estimated that by now, his descendants have already established families and successful careers in foreign countries, and it is impossible for them to return to Hong Kong to inherit the society's business.
In this case, he must find someone to take over.
…
The original suitable candidate was Jiang Tianyang, but Jiang Tianyang had no interest in taking over. It is more enjoyable for him to be the local emperor in Thailand than to be the leader in Xiangjiang. Moreover, his background is so clean that even the Xiangjiang police did not pay attention to him.
In fact, if Jiang Tiansheng had not died suddenly, Jiang Tianyang would not have been ordered to come to Xiangjiang to clean up this mess. Moreover, even when he returned to Xiangjiang as the leader, he never got involved in specific business. He only played the role of a mediator, responsible for bridging the conflicts between the fit people.
In 2000, when the association was basically on track, he handed over the leadership position to Chen Haonan and returned to Thailand to live in seclusion. It can be seen that Jiang Tianyang does not want to take over this mess.
In this case, among the twelve fit people in Hongxing, Xiang Nan is the only one who can carry the banner.
…
And if Xiang Nan wants to take over successfully, these connections must be handed over to him.
Otherwise, without enough support from connections, the society will not last long, and an anti-gangster group can wipe out the entire Hongxing.
In the movie "People in the Jianghu", the reason why Jiang Tiansheng gave up his position as the leader so happily and let Liang Kun come up was actually because he had calculated that without the support of connections, Liang Kun would not be the leader for long.
When Hong Xing was hit hard and Liang Kun was unable to support him, they would naturally beg him to come back and take charge of the overall situation. When the time comes, he will take back the leading position without fighting for it.
Moreover, over and over again, those who are fit will also know how powerful he is, and they will no longer dare to use their wrong ideas.
So it was very pitiful to see Jiang Tiansheng being kicked off the leading throne. In fact, he was in the atmosphere.
And this is also the reason why Xiang Nan rescued Jiang Tiansheng in the Netherlands.
Because Jiang Tiansheng had not handed over his connections at that time, once he died, even if Xiang Nan could ascend to power, he would not be able to hold on for long.
And this is also the reason why, after Jiang Tianyang died, the twelve fit men of Hongxing did not compete for the leading position. Instead, they went to Thailand to invite the reclusive Jiang Tianyang out of the mountain.
Because Jiang Tian could not support himself, they, short mules who had climbed up from the bottom, without the support of connections, could not support the overall situation of Hongxing.
…
"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."
"Well done, Mr. Jiang." Xiang Nan nodded, knowing that the person he wanted to introduce was Jiang Tianyang.
Jiang Tianyang went to Thailand to develop his career when he was young. He basically ignored the affairs in Xiangjiang. Even the Xiangjiang police did not have any information on him.
In fact, this is also a game played by Jiang Zhen. When Jiang Tianyang went to Thailand, it was in the 1970s, when the Independent Commission Against Corruption had just been established. Many corrupt officials and police officers were cracked down on, and various Hong Kong associations were also targeted.
Therefore, Jiang Zhen sent his son to Thailand. On the one hand, he preserved the blood of the Jiang family to avoid being taken over by others. On the other hand, it paved a way out for the Jiang family. If Xiangjiang failed, they could escape to Thailand.
This is the so-called cunning rabbit's three caves.
