Chapter 11 The First Pot of Gold
Shen Chong got into a taxi and left in the dust.
Shu Qi and the other two walked along the street, chatting and walking.
"I have always had this belief. I am not a genius, but I never think others are smarter than me." Shu Qi sighed first: "But after meeting A Chong, I always feel ashamed."
"Yes." Chen Bosheng smoked and said, "I have never seen someone with such a lot of knowledge. Think about what I just talked about, teenage pop culture, criminal psychology, movie style, marketing, etc., each one is not simple, but he can tell a truth from each one, which is thought-provoking and heartbreaking."
"I have a lot of knowledge. Didn't A Chong say that his parents are both cultural people? Moreover, he is in the Chinese department of Hong Kong University. He is diligent and smart enough. He reads a lot of books and knows a lot. It's nothing strange." Yan Hao didn't care about this. He talked about another question, "Did you feel weird when you were with A Chong?"
"What's weird?" Shu Qi asked, "What you said is weird, which aspect do you mean?"
"I can't say it, it's just a feeling." Yan Hao thought for a while, but couldn't figure out how to express it. When he passed by a live seafood restaurant, Yan Hao flashed his inspiration and pointed to the seafood swimming in the glass water tank and said, "I feel that A Chong looked at us, just like we were looking at the fish in this water tank."
"You mean..." Chen Baisheng deliberately dragged his voice long. Without finishing his words, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and then said: "A Chong is a man-cannibal? Are you ready to steam and braise us?"
His words caused laughter from the two of them.
"You're thinking too much, I mean..." After laughing, Yan Hao organized some language and said, "When we look at the fish in the water tank, we naturally have a sense of superiority because we can control their destiny. I feel that A Chong also has this sense of superiority. When he looks at me, he seems to be able to see my future."
"Come on." Chen Bosheng said unbelievable, "If he really could see the future, he would have time to hang out with us? He had already been rich and went to have coffee with Pao Yugang, Li Ka-shing and the others."
...
If Chen Chong was present, he would definitely admire Yan Hao's keenness very much.
After thinking for a long time, he finally refused to take his experience in participating in Yan Hao's new film as a trial result because he knew Yan Hao's future development journey.
Movies are an industry with a wide range of scope and complex areas. They cannot be produced in standard lines like other products. Except for a very small number of geniuses, most directors have unstable quality.
Chen Chong doesn't remember Yan Hao's reputation filming after "Jialifei" and before "Life of the Years", and he joined the crew as a newcomer and friend. His influence was too weak, his quality was not guaranteed, and his participation was low, so after thinking about it, he gave up this opportunity.
When he got home, he saw the lights on inside. Li Kaiyuan was indeed waiting for him.
He knocked on the door, and it was Li Kaiyuan who opened the door. She put her hands behind her back, smiling, and shouted loudly as soon as she met: "A Chong, guess how many Rubik's Cubes were sold today?"
There was a faint smell of alcohol on Li Kaiyuan's body. Chen Chong looked at the room. The coffee table was filled with leftovers and cold roasts and a few empty beer bottles. It seemed that after the investigation, Huang Xin and the others also had dinner here.
"The symbols of gold coins flash in your eyes." Chen Chong smiled and said, "Don't you feel relieved now?"
"Guess, guess how many people have been sold." Li Kaiyuan jumped around, as if the little girl had got her beloved doll, which made Chen Chong stunned and his heart beat faster.
Li Kaiyuan is not a beauty in the traditional sense. She has thick eyebrows, straight nose, thin lips, and delicate facial features, but her lines are clear and not soft enough. With her short hair and don’t like to dress up, Chen Chong ignored her gender in her usual condition. At this time, under the orange light, she saw her cute and silly appearance, and suddenly realized that there was such a big beauty around her.
This neutral beauty does not conform to the aesthetic view of the current era, but in the future, this kind of beauty with queen temperament is the favorite of the majority of otakus.
"Hey, why are you stupid? Guess!" Li Kaiyuan put his left hand behind his back and his right hand swayed in front of Shen Chong, interrupting his reverie.
"Two thousand?" Chen Chong reported a random data.
"No, guess again."
"Three thousand?"
"It's three thousand seven hundred and eighty-six!" Li Kaiyuan couldn't hide the matter and quickly revealed the answer. She stretched out her left hand that had been hiding behind her, handed Chen Chong a form, and shouted: "Look, this is the data we counted."
After taking the form and browsing it quickly, Chen Chong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
There are 3786 Rubik's Cubes, of which nearly 2,000 are mirror Rubik's Cubes. No wonder Li Kaiyuan is so happy.
Because of the tight time, this batch of Rubik's Cubes was only encapsulated with ordinary dustproof film, and there was no outer packaging such as boxes, so the cost was very low. However, it was not cheap to sell. One ordinary third-level Rubik's Cube can make about 30 yuan, and the profit of mirror Rubik's Cube is even higher. Chen Chong sets the price at 128 yuan, and one can make more than 100 yuan.
By doing this, I made nearly 300,000 yuan on the first day of my listing, and most of the investment capital was recovered, and only one-eighth of the sales were sold. The rest was almost all profit. At this sales speed, it only took a few days to sell 30,000 Rubik's Cubes.
No wonder Li Kaiyuan was so excited. He made a lot of one or two million in less than a month, which was more than what she earned after working hard for four or five years!
Chen Chong no longer maintained his usual calmness. He clenched his fists habitually, made several boxing moves into the air, and shouted: "YES!"
Then something unexpected happened. Li Kaiyuan suddenly rushed up, hugged Chen Chong, and kissed him on the cheek.
"A Chong, you..."
She might just be too excited to express her gratitude to Chen Chong.
Although Chen Chong is not a prodigal son in love, he is not Chu brother. Naturally, he would not miss such an opportunity. He hugged Li Kaiyuan tightly and directly blocked her tongue with his mouth...
It is said that women have no resistance to forced kissing. Later generations of robbers kissing women, robbing money while she lost control of her body.
Chen Chong didn't know whether this was true or not. In short, when he was kissing passionately, Li Kaiyuan's body stiffened for a while and soon became soft. If Chen Chong hadn't hugged her tightly, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Chen Chong is not a erotic maniac who is a sperm. He thinks that straightforward sex is better than watching a movie to have pleasure. You are willing to do things that are not suitable for children in a warm atmosphere of affection and love. It is a real joy in the world.
So he did not take advantage of the situation and just hugged Li Kaiyuan's soft body and enjoyed the warm feeling.
The two of them hugged them like this, and I don’t know how long it took, Li Kaiyuan pushed Shen Chong away and whispered: “I’m back, otherwise my mother will come up.”
"Okay." Chen Chong helped open the door, "Good night."
"Yes." Li Kaiyuan took a few steps and turned back. He looked at Chen Chong with his shiny big eyes and said in a daze: "I will follow you all my life."
After saying that, he walked away, Chen Chong stood at the entrance of the stairs until he could not hear the footsteps downstairs, and then returned to the room and closed the door.
Although it is beautiful to roll the sheets, Chen Chong enjoys the process of dating girls more, especially for girls with connotations and personality. There will always be unexpected surprises and life experiences.
...
The next day, Chen Chong observed and found that except for his gaze, Li Kaiyuan was not just a little dodging, but everything else was normal, and he was not as tempted as an ordinary girl. He said whatever she should say and did whatever she should do.
Yesterday, because it was late, the bank had closed down. Li Kaiyuan only investigated the data and did not collect the accounts. Early this morning, Shen Chong led the army and circled around Hong Kong for another round, recovered the sales agency, and signed a contract with the convenience store owner who wanted to purchase goods to collect the goods to collect the advance payment.
After a round, the company earned nearly 500,000 yuan, and with money, things were easier to handle.
The sales of mirrored cubes are so good, which means that they are very popular among the white-collar workers. If they don’t kill them at this time, when will they be left? So before Li Kaiyuan set out to go to the factory to continue placing an order, Chen Chong told her to customize a new cube: make the current mirrored cube bigger and replace the sticker with gold - the cost doesn’t increase much, the price will increase a lot... Gold is more expensive than silver, and the golden cube is naturally more expensive than silver.
Currently, the company's boss and employees are also four people. Li Kaiyuan is responsible for the production business, Huang Xin is in charge of the office logistics, part-time finance, and A Chong is responsible for transportation. The three of them went to the factory together and Shen Chong stayed in the office.
With the current sales situation of the Rubik's Cube, after the Spring Festival, Chen Chong has enough money to invest in a movie.
Now that the first pot of gold has been obtained, it is time to plan how to complete the trial mission.
After inquiring with Li Tang several times, there is no sign of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" being started. Zhang Xinyan is still changing the script. Moreover, left-wing film companies like Great Wall have rigid decision-making mechanisms, inefficient, complex personnel, and conservative ideas. It is necessary to get involved in the crew, but they are not the first choice for trial tasks.
Yan Hao's new film has been rejected, so naturally he will not consider it again.
After thinking for a while, Chen Chong picked up a pen and wrote down the names of several directors and movies on the notebook.
Tsui Hark, "Butterfly Transformation".
Zhang Guoming, "Pointing to the Bingbing".
Anhua Xu, "Crazy Calamity".
These three are classic works that cannot be ignored in any book about the new wave of Hong Kong movies. If you invest in filming one of them as a trial, you will definitely get the best reward.
He knocked on the table with a pen, and after a while, Shen Chong crossed out Tsui Hark and "Butterfly Transformation".
Tsui Hark is an idol of Shen Chong's teenage years. It would be a very honorable thing to invest in his maiden movie.
However, according to Cai Jiguang's story, Tsui Hark is already planning to shoot this movie. Wu Siyuan is a big shot in the movie. Tsui Hark is famous for his stubborn temper and has a strong desire to control. Now that he joins in, his participation is a bit low.
So after a long time of struggle, Chen Chong gave up on "Butterfly Transformation". There are opportunities for cooperation in the future, so there is no need to rush for a moment.
"Pointing to the Bingbing" is known as the founder of Hong Kong police and gangster films. The quality of the film and the status in film history meet the requirements of Shen Chong. However, I did not see Zhang Guoming at the last symposium. I wonder if he started filming this movie now.
Picking up the phone, Chen Chong called Shu Qi, and after asking, he found out that Zhang Guoming is currently mingling with Teddy Robin, preparing to shoot a movie about young people playing music. (Note 1)
Hang up the phone, Shen Chong searched for memories, and found Hong Kong movies about music, "The New Love" and "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves"... There are classic movies, but none of them are Zhang Guoming's works. It seems that his drama is either too bad or not made at all.
In this way, only Anhua Xu's "Crazy Calamity" is left.
"Crazy Job" is recognized as one of the representative works of the Hong Kong film New Wave, and the starring is Sylvia Sylvia and Zhao Yazhi, two legendary actresses, who are very attractive to Shen Chong.
I asked Fang Yuping, who had filmed a series with Ann Hui at TVB Film Department before. He said Ann Hui was also a director in the Hong Kong Radio and Television Department and had never heard of her having plans to make a movie.
Chen Chong drew a heavy line under the names of Anhua Xu and "Crazy Job".
After the Spring Festival and the first pot of gold is in place, I will find Anh Xu to invest in the production of her "Crazy Raid"!
