Chapter 265 Social Events
In the police station, police officer Chen Chen held a glass of Yuanyang and leaned against the stairs, looking puzzled: "Is Shenxiantang really willing to give in?"

“There’s nothing I can do even if I’m unwilling.” Lin Guoguang crossed his arms, with his ID hanging on his chest, looking at the figure in the hall with a stern expression and contemptuous eyes.

"A thief is a thief, and a soldier is a soldier. A thief can never defeat a soldier."

"It's destined!"

Chen Chen looked admiring and gave a thumbs up in approval.

"Mr. Lin, you really have a solution."

Jimmy Lai stood in the office, pressing the blinds with his fingers. Through the gap he saw a figure walking away and getting into a Rolls-Royce.

He looked worried, thinking to himself, "This is not Shenxiantang's style."

Shenxiantang is definitely not someone who would swallow his anger.

Three days later, Du Zihua officially came forward to serve as Ding Jiahao's attorney.

Lin Guoguang registered and refused bail again, saying sarcastically, "Mr. Ding, it seems that Shenxiantang thinks highly of you and even invited the lawyers from Zhongyitang to come out."

"Du Dazhuang, you've been spending a lot of money on hooking up with girls lately? You even take on small cases like this."

Du Zihua held the briefcase with both hands, placed it on the table, and replied indifferently: "Mr. Lin, are you afraid of layoffs at O ​​Kee in Mong Kok?"

“Even piracy cases are treated as serious cases.”

Lin Guoguang smoked a cigarette, his eyes sharp, and said slowly: "There are many complaints from foreign companies. Sirs, please pay attention to the names. Commercial crimes cannot be ignored."

"We need to pay more attention to small cases so that there will be fewer big cases."

Du Zihua put away the documents, opened the iron door of the visiting room, and suddenly turned around and said meaningfully: "Then I really hope that Mr. Lin's body can handle a big case. Goodbye, sir!"

Bang!
The old printing plates were pressed hard on the wood pulp paper, printing out pages of magazines in color.

Inside the factory, at the end of the more than 91-meter-long assembly line, magazines printed with " Eat Melon" were pushed down by rollers and delivered to the employees.

Workers wearing labor protection masks picked up magazines one by one, put price tags on them, sorted them and put them into cartons.

When posting the price tags, you can see the cover of a magazine with the title “Brave Detective, Solving Pirated Sneaker Case”.

Boxes of magazines were shoveled away by forklifts and loaded onto trucks. They were delivered in the early hours of the morning to more than 30,000 newsstands across Hong Kong.

At the Liangyou Printing Factory, Boss Xian, who received a call from Dashuizhu, personally arrived at the scene and supervised the employees to work.

The entire factory has more than one hundred workers, and they all rely on 91 Magazine Company for their livelihood.

Now, in addition to the ten-day pornographic edition, 91 magazine also has the seven-day 91 Food Edition and the monthly 91 Fashion Edition.

91 Magazine is a news weekly, and 91 Fashion is a fashion magazine introducing clothing and handbags.

With cumulative monthly shipments of more than 800,000 copies, it has become the leading media in Hong Kong Island and has a sizeable readership in Southeast Asia and the Mainland.

As for perverts, they are the cutest people in the world.

As long as they can take off, they will willingly give you money.

The news in the current issue of 91 Eat Melon did not attract widespread attention from the public. After all, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau has the power to enforce the Piracy Ordinance, and the magazine only reports positive stories.

In Kowloon, Chief Superintendent Yu Shaoze received the magazine from his secretary and gave a verbal commendation to Lam Kwok-kwong. Lam Kwok-kwong's fame soared through the newspaper and he became a celebrity in the Kowloon Police Station.

The guys in the same group even thought that he was about to get married and get promoted, so they asked Mr. Lin to treat them to afternoon tea. Lin Guoguang was flattered by the guys and was so dizzy that he happily paid the bill.

Until Jimmy Lai called him into the office with a stern face, pulled the blinds tight, and slapped the magazine on the table: "Guoguang, are you crazy?"

"Who is the boss behind this newspaper? You must know it!"

Lin Guoguang smoked a cigarette with a smug expression, and said, "Shenxiantang, Li Sir." Li Zhibin took two steps forward, his eyes blazing with anger: "You are being roasted on the fire now. If anything happens, it will be too late to jump into the water!"

Lin Guoguang was stunned, a little surprised: "Isn't Shenxiantang surrendering to us by writing this kind of report?"

"Read the magazine again!" Jimmy Lai pointed at the magazine and said in a loud voice, "The entire report doesn't mention which department or police station did it."

"Only write your name, Lin Guoguang. Shenxiantang is clearly trying to harm you. Be smart!"

Lin Guoguang's face turned pale with shock and anger, and he cursed: "Pick that star, Shenxiantang has the guts to harm me, I will catch him next."

"What's the reason for arrest?"

"Selling pirated goods!" Jimmy Lai sneered and replied, "The Pegasus sneakers were licensed by Dan Tart two years ago, then Ah Lok, and now a man named Ah Xin is the licensee."

"The sneaker company and the factory are still registered separately, so Shen Xiantang cannot be caught, and Shen Xiantang is already Lao Zhong's second marshal."

"You can't just nail him to the ground with one sentence. If you sentence him to three to five years, he will go to jail while you are buried. Is that worth it?"

Lin Guoguang said gloomily, "Ahtou, I am just following the law."

"I know, but they are powerful and it won't cost them much to deal with you." Li Zhibin sighed.

He supported Lin Guoguang in capturing Ding Jiahao to save his reputation and let other traitors see it.

Unexpectedly, they did not find any tax evasion, but instead charged him with selling pirated goods. Although everything was done according to the rules, the O-Ji case was a joke.

Lai Chi-bin was afraid that something might happen to Lam Kwok-kwong, so he whispered, "Why not ask Lao-chung's lawyer to pay the bail, and then withdraw the lawsuit to make a big deal out of a small one."

Lin Guoguang's eyelids jumped, and he said firmly: "No way!"

"If I do this, the whole police station will know that I'm bowing to the gangsters. How will I survive in the future?"

Jimmy Lai said in a gentle voice: "No one will remember this incident in a few months. What's so hard about it? Who can handle the case well every time?"

Lin Guoguang threw the cigarette on the ground and said sternly, “NO, sir!”

"Lin Guoguang!" Li Zhibin shouted loudly, but it couldn't stop him from slamming the door and leaving.

A week later, LF trade committee member Zhang Aowei discussed the piracy case at a press conference and claimed that the Piracy Ordinance was too lenient.

This has led to rampant pirates in Hong Kong Island, and the failure to cultivate local famous brands in Hong Kong Island. Piracy should be punished more severely. It is recommended that the maximum sentence for producing pirated products be increased to 15 to 20 years, and that the sale of pirated products be punished together. Anyone who makes a profit of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars from selling pirated products should be sentenced to at least six months in prison.

Oswald Cheung is the first Chinese Queen's Counsel, the godfather of the Chinese legal profession in Hong Kong, and a dual member of the LF Club and the Urban Council. Most of the future famous LF Club lawyers are students of Oswald Cheung.

He has also served as the chairman of the Jockey Club. Both of his parents are celebrities in Hong Kong Island and have extensive influence in all walks of life. As his disciple, Du Zihua has always had excellent grades. Helping his disciples to blow the wind is one of the most favorite favors given by the master.

In the future, there will be a very famous Hong Kong movie, in which a legal giant is based on Councillor Oswald Cheung.

After Cheung's righteous and politically correct speech was published in the newspaper, it caused a huge uproar, leading to protests from tens of thousands of vendors from all walks of life in Hong Kong who made a living by piracy.

91 Eat Watermelon corrected its attitude and strongly supported the remarks of lawyer Zhang Aowei. Subsequently, more than a dozen well-known Chinese newspapers, including Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, Ta Kung Pao, and Asia Weekly, all joined the war of words over "piracy". No one denied the illegality of piracy, but they all focused on the war of words over "misdemeanor" and "felony".

A small case was suddenly hyped up as a hot social event, and hundreds of interview invitations were sent to the Police Public Relations Department. Police officer Lin Guoguang who handled the "pirated sneakers case" suddenly became a household name.

At the same time, the four major pirated factories in Hong Kong Island, Hop Tu's "leather bags", Lao Zhong's "sneakers", the No. Bang's "videotapes" and Shing Wo's "pirated toys" all ceased production.

Young and gangsters will not commit crimes in defiance of the law, but if pirated factories close down, vendors will not be able to get goods, and customers will not be able to buy cheap goods, things will suddenly become serious.

In the 18 districts of Hong Kong Island, there are more than 20 night market streets selling fake goods. Vendors dare not come out to sell their goods, the streets have become deserted, and even the catering industry has no money to make.

In less than a week, the war of words began to evolve into a social incident. The big bosses of the four major factories began to meet for tea, factory employees began to liaise with each other, and vendors who bought goods had nothing to do but to find something to do with the Hong Kong government.
