In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong's underworld forces and various gangsters were rampant, and taking advantage of the transitional period on the eve of the reversion, they wantonly engaged in things in Hong Kong, which had a great impact on local public order.
However, the real banditry incidents that occurred in Hong Kong during this special period have been put on the screen by various screenwriters and directors. Among them, a Hong Kong gangster film that made everyone feel refreshed the previous year, "Tree Trick", caused quite a stir, pulling the audience back to the tunnel of historical trajectory, and once again presenting the three thieves who shocked Hong Kong in the last century in a special way.
In "Tree Trick", it is mentioned that Zhang Ziqiang, who kidnapped billionaires in Hong Kong, found that his criminal career had encountered a bottleneck and could not break through, so he ran to find two other thieves, Ye Jihuan and Ji Bingxiong, to join forces in Hong Kong to make a big deal.
Of course, the film's performance methods can be unscrupulous, but after all, it is based on real events and characters, so Zhang Ziqiang in the film is crazy to find Ye Jihuan to jointly do things, and the reality is that the two of them have indeed had such a cooperation.
In the early 1990s, Zhang Ziqiang was arrested and imprisoned in Stanley Prison after robbing 170 million cash trucks at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport. Here, he met Ye Jihuan's younger brother Chen Zhihao. Chen Zhihao gave Zhang Ziqiang a desperate instilling in his boss Ye Jihuan's "great achievements", and Zhang Ziqiang, who had originally seen Ye Jihuan squatting on TV and holding an AK47 to repel the Hong Kong police, decided to join hands with Ye Jihuan to do something big after going out!
A few years later, after Zhang Ziqiang was released, he immediately went to Hailufeng in Guangdong to find Ye Jihuan and offered to cooperate with him to kidnap Li Zeju, the son of Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man. At that time, Ye Jihuan was wanted and arrested by the police in Hong Kong and the mainland, and he hid in Tibet all day, and he could not do anything for a long time. Therefore, Ye Jihuan proposed to share half of the booty with Zhang Ziqiang.
Zhang Ziqiang felt that Ye Jihuan's appetite was too big, and he argued with him for a long time, and Ye Jihuan refused to let go. In the end, Zhang Ziqiang grew up and left. Ye Jihuan has always been reluctant to bow his head because his status and influence in the jianghu are stronger than Zhang Ziqiang, and later Ye Jihuan has no "life" to do in the mainland, so he had to let Chen Zhihao go to Hong Kong to find Zhang Ziqiang and ask for cooperation!
