Chapter 488 - Blood and QiWith regards to the payment of the protection fee, Ji Feng had been perplexed over the entire matter.
However, Han Zhong said, "This isn"t strange. Actually, the phenomenon of paying protection fees is everywhere!""What do you mean?" Ji Feng asked.
"Actually, it"s not just in Jiang Prefecture"s movie and television city. In fact, in other cities in Jiang Prefecture, as long as you don"t have a state monopoly on business, there will definitely be hoodlums involved in this."
Han Zhong said, "It"s just, in some places, the security is better, so the people on the streets should be more restrained." "In some places, the law enforcement officials themselves are gangsters!"
Ji Feng immediately understood. If it was really like what Han Zhong said, then the local people would naturally be very arrogant."So, if a businessman wants to get involved in a profitable business, he has to go to the docks. "By "kowtowing" here, you are actually saying that you have a good relations.h.i.+p with a certain big brother on the local road, or that you are obediently paying the protection fee!" Han Zhong said, "If they don"t pay the protection fee, there will definitely be someone coming to cause trouble. After handing in the money, there will be almost no one coming to cause trouble anymore. They all eat this business, so breaking the rules themselves will not benefit them …"
According to Han Zhong"s introduction, Ji Feng had a general understanding of this inside information.The entertainment circle was obviously a very profitable business, especially now that so many people were blindly chasing after the stars or something like that. A large amount of hot money had been poured into the entertainment circle, of which a lot of money belonged to those in the underworld or those in the underworld who had their eyes on this area.
That was the reason why there were unwritten rules. The production teams that came to film and television shows had to prepare a portion of funds for those gangsters. This was the so-called protection fee!
Actually, it had been a long time since the underworld had intervened in the entertainment industry. And the most famous one of them was Xiangjiang"s entertainment industry.
As everyone knew, Xiangjiang"s entertainment industry"s underworld was extremely permeated, and many entertainment companies were run by gangsters. For example, the leading family of Xinyi an in Xiangjiang, towards their home …Of course, the Xiang Family here wasn"t the same family that would always be at war. Even though they were a family 500 years ago, their natures and positions were completely different now.
Xiang Jiang"s Xiang Family was a leading clan in the underworld, and there was no need to explain to the eternal war clan.
However, from this, it could also be explained that compared to those in the underworld directly intervening in the film industry, paying protection fees was clearly better. On one hand, it could ensure the smooth progress of filming, and on the other hand, it could also prevent those in the underworld from continuing to infiltrate into the television industry, thus affecting the normal life of those in the industry.
Ji Feng could understand all of this, but he was in agreement. However, the issue of paying the protection fee puzzled him.
Who did the protection fee go to?
Since he called for a protection fee, someone had to show up and take care of this, right?
Also, Tengfei Corporation wasn"t a dedicated film and television entertainment company. They had to pay protection fees just to make a small commercial?
Ji Feng once again asked a series of questions.
"As long as you enter a movie city to make a movie, no matter if it"s an advertis.e.m.e.nt or a movie, you will have to pay a protection fee." Han Zhong said, "I spent some money to save some trouble, so that no one would cause trouble."
"Isn"t there someone looking for trouble now? And it"s not a small matter at all! " Ji Feng said.
With two employees fractured and Han Zhong kicked, this was not a small matter. Strictly speaking, the level of criminal cases had risen!
More importantly, the Tengfei Group"s employees were injured while working normally. This was undoubtedly a public challenge to the Tengfei Group!
Han Zhong helplessly shook his head, "I"ve already sent people to find Second Fool w.a.n.g. Now that the police investigation has failed, the City"s staff and security won"t dare to speak the truth. Second Fool w.a.n.g has to give an explanation!"
"Second Fool w.a.n.g?" Ji Feng asked, "Who is it?"
"He"s a leader near the movie city. The protection fee is given to him. Although the money isn"t much, after receiving the money, he has to do something!" Han Zhong said in a deep voice.
"Second Fool w.a.n.g …" Ji Feng laughed, "This name isn"t bad. Just by hearing it, you are not someone who knows how to handle matters. Have you ever seen a few idiots who can do things like a normal person?"Han Zhong shook his head and said, "This is only his nickname, I have also heard of this idiot w.a.n.g Er. It is said that when he was in the underworld, he dared to fight, and sometimes, it is even against someone who doesn"t care for his own life. He belongs between a fool and someone who doesn"t care about his life, so those in the underworld call him Second Fool w.a.n.g. "
"So you"re saying he"s a ruthless character?!" Ji Feng asked.
"I don"t know the specifics of the character either. Regardless of whether he"s a fool or not, just taking the money to do something is perfectly justified!" Han Zhong said in a deep voice, "For this matter, he must give me an explanation!"
"Ding … …"
Suddenly, Han Zhong"s phone on the bedside rang. He casually picked up the phone and answered, "h.e.l.lo, this is Han Zhong."
But very soon, Han Zhong"s face became gloomy. He said in a deep voice, "Director w.a.n.g, I, Han Zhong, have always done things according to the rules. I"ll do whatever I have to do. But isn"t it a bit too much for you to say this?"
"..."He didn"t know what he said on the phone, but Han Zhong"s expression became even more unsightly, "Director w.a.n.g, don"t tell me these things, you have to explain what happened today …" "Hey, hey hey?!"
Boom! *
Han Zhong slammed the phone onto the ground. The high-end phone that was supposed to be able to even crush a truck was now smashed into smithereens.
"F * ck!" This is going too far! " Han Zhong growled, his face extremely gloomy.
"What did he tell you?" Ji Feng asked with a smile.
"You"re still laughing?!"
Han Zhong said snappily, "f.u.c.k!" I have paid the protection fee for nothing. That b * stard w.a.n.g Er actually said it was an accident and it was over just like that. What did he say … He has also protected us for a few days already. In the future, he will not let us go to the movie and television city to film advertis.e.m.e.nts! "
"Hehe …" Ji Feng was amused, "Do you want to pay the protection fee or do you want me to protect you by the day? "d.a.m.n, this is the first time I"ve heard something like this!"
Everyone was no longer a child. They all knew that once they paid the protection fee, there would be an end to it. Even if they were children playing house, they would not say that they would be protected by the heavens, right?
Right now, w.a.n.g Er was clearly playing with the monkey! He was playing with Han Zhong and the Tengfei Corporation like monkeys!
"We can"t just let this matter go like this!" Han Zhong"s face was gloomy as he said, "It"s okay if Second Fool w.a.n.g is playing with me, but if he doesn"t do anything after paying the protection fee, then that"s it.""Of course not." Ji Feng nodded, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Han Zhong clenched his teeth and immediately got off the bed."What are you looking for?" Ji Feng asked.
"Phone card!" Han Zhong said, "I want to know where Second Fool w.a.n.g is. If this goes on, I"m afraid the commercial won"t be able to make it. We have to find him. If he dares not give me an explanation, I"ll play with him!"
"Are you planning to go directly to Ergong?"
Ji Feng laughed, "You are the grand boss of a huge corporation with a fortune of over two billion and you want to fight with a hoodlum?"
"It"s not a fight, I"m going to get an explanation." Han Zhong said, "Of course, I also want to know why there was suddenly a hoodlum coming to cause trouble. If he doesn"t say something, then we will fight!"
Ji Feng frowned, this matter had to be dealt with. Even if those ruffians beat someone up for no reason, they would definitely be punished, without a doubt.
However, Ji Feng disapproved of Han Zhong"s actions.According to his thinking, even if he wanted to take revenge, he would first have to figure out the reason for it.
But now that he saw that Han Zhong was angry, even if Ji Feng said it, he probably wouldn"t listen.Furthermore...
Actually, Ji Feng also wanted to use his own fists to solve this problem. Young people had never been lacking in hot-bloodedness, and their age when they were full of vigor and ruthlessness was right around the corner!
Moreover, to deal with these hoodlums, he had to be even more ruthless than them!
Pow!Ji Feng slapped the bed and suddenly stood up: "Han Zhong, ask around, and find out where Second Fool w.a.n.g is. Let"s go together!"
"You"re going too?" Han Zhong was stunned.
"What? You, an boss, can go fight with someone, but can"t I?" "Don"t forget, in terms of fighting, you are not my match even if there are ten of you!""Then what are we waiting for?" Han Zhong said, "Let"s go!"
"Let"s go!"
Ji Feng burst into laughter.
"Ji Feng, don"t be rash. You should think of a safer way!" "You guys will go just like this. If they really have the numbers advantage, then you should know that the hands of those hooligans are neither light nor heavy. Who are you two, and you specially ran over to fight with them?""It"s nothing, let"s go take a look!" Ji Feng laughed, "It doesn"t have to be a fight!"
"Found it!" Han Zhong found his phone card from the smashed phone and then took out a phone from his pocket. He quickly changed his phone card and dialed a string of numbers.
"Who are you calling for?!" Ji Feng asked, "Just directly ask where Second Fool w.a.n.g is?"
"Of course not!"
Han Zhong said, "I sent someone to find Second Fool w.a.n.g. When we were talking on the phone, my man was beside Second Fool w.a.n.g. He must know where Second Fool w.a.n.g is …"As he spoke, the call connected. Han Zhong immediately asked, "I"m Han Zhong, where is Second Fool w.a.n.g?"
After talking to the person on the other side of the phone for a bit, Han Zhong hung up.
"My people say that Second Fool w.a.n.g and his subordinates are currently drinking in a bar not too far away from the movie city. That"s Second Fool w.a.n.g"s territory …" After hanging up, Han Zhong said to Ji Feng.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Ji Feng asked.
"Let"s go!"
Han Zhong immediately said.Ji Feng slightly smiled. "Yu Xuan, you and Little Ying drive back first. We"ll go meet that Second Fool w.a.n.g!"
