Chapter 32 Interlude
After finalizing the loan with Liao Yiyuan, Chen Chong looked at his watch and said, "Old Liao, I have to go to the TV station for a meeting, so I will say goodbye first."
"I'm leaving too, and there are a lot of things on Xinlian." Liao Yiyuan stood up, shook hands with him, and said, "Thank you this time, Xiao Shen."
"It should be, it should be." Chen Chong picked up the file bag containing the draft reform of the mainland's issuance and projection system and said, "I will take this back to study it?"
"Take it, this is a copy, I have a backup." Liao Yiyuan took out his wallet and said, "I'll pay the bill. I've been here to visit this teahouse for many years. I'm an old customer and can get discounts."
"Okay." Chen Chong didn't care about Xu Li, nor did he refuse, and said with a smile: "I'll have tea next time, I'll treat you."
"Then next time I have to choose a good place. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it."
The two walked downstairs while chatting and laughing. In front of the cash register at the door, Liao Yiyuan took out two banknotes, and the boss standing behind the counter smiled and said, "Old Liao, the tea is free today, it's all mine."
"Yo" Liao Yiyuan was obviously very familiar with him and joked: "Is the sun coming out from the west today? Lao Qian didn't make any money."
"If you come alone, I will definitely charge enough fees as usual, but today you brought a distinguished guest." The boss was over fifty years old, with a fat head and big ears, and a smile on his face. He walked out from behind the counter and said to Chen Chong in a literary way: "The God of Wealth in Shen is here, and the shop is full of glory."
"Boss Qian is so proud." Chen Chong shook hands with him and said politely: "When the God of Wealth said it, it was just the media who started to make fun of it, and it was not true."
"You can afford it, you can afford it." Boss Qian held Chen Chong's hand and said endlessly: "That's right, Mr. Chen, I have a daughter who just found a job in a newspaper. Today, I happen to be at home. Can you give her a chance to interview you for a few minutes, just a few minutes, and give her a chance to make progress. The current society is no longer as competitive as before. She is a girl, she has no ability and is still thin-skinned. As soon as you come in, she recognizes it and just dare not go up to talk to you. My father is so angry that she is not strong, but there is no way. Who said she is my daughter? She has to come and beg you with shame."
"Isn't it convenient to interview here?" Chen Chong let go of his hand, looked around, and said, "If there are guests here."
"No, no." Boss Qian rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I just hung up a sign that was suspended at the door, and no customers would come in."
"Since that's the case, then okay."
"Xiao Ni, come here quickly." Boss Qian waved to the girl standing in the corner, wearing an orange apron, and urged: "Come here quickly, Mr. Chen has agreed to the interview."
The girl's cheeks were flushed, her head lowered, and she walked over with a little twisted look, and said in a low voice: "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Her voice was extremely light and soft, as if the breeze blew across her earlobes, and her feathers swept through the soles of her feet, giving her a strange and moving smell.
Chen Chong was surprised, looked at her carefully, and then smiled and said, "You are so shy, how could you go to work in the newspaper?"
"This girl is not like this usually." Boss Qian said, "I don't know what's wrong today, I don't know how to say anything. She likes the song Mr. Chen wrote for Zhen Ni the most, and she sang..."
"Dad"
"Okay, dad is wrong, I won't speak anymore. Lao Liao, let's go there and sit there, I'll make a pot of good tea for you.
Chen Chong found a chair and sat down, and asked, "Ms. Qian, which newspaper do you work in?"
"It's the Oriental Daily."
"Oh, one of the three major newspapers in Hong Kong is very promising." Chen Chong nodded slightly and said, "Then let's start the interview. I'll give you five minutes."
"Mr. Chen, is it true that the Hong Kong Governor will attend the launch ceremony of Jiayi TV on June 6?"
"This is not sure yet. I have sent an invitation to the Governor's Office, but so far, I have not received a reply."
"Die Hard was completed in early May, why hasn't it been released yet?"
"The movie is not like milk tea. It will be drunk immediately after it is ready. It is a very special product. When it will be released, many factors need to be considered."
"There are rumors that you chose Sammo Hung as the protagonist of Die Hard, and deliberately ban Jackie Chan because he offended you in the United States. Is it true?"
"Nonsense." Chen Chong was stunned and said, "When did Jackie Chan offend me? I didn't know that I chose Sammo Hung as the protagonist because his appearance was very consistent with the script's settings. Jackie Chan was filming in the United States at the time. There was no schedule, so there was absolutely no ban. Jackie Chan is an actor I like very much.
"Some people say that he ran into you and Brigitte Lin in the United States, and you were so angry that you were angry..."
"What do you mean?" Chen Chong touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "Miss Qian, can I ask you a question? Which reporter are you a?"
"I...I'm not a reporter yet. I'm an assistant who collects information in the Oriental Daily." Miss Qian lowered her head and said, "My father, he, he always thought I was a reporter."
Chen Chong turned around and glanced at Boss Qian who was sitting at the door, and asked, "Do you know a lot of gossip news? You usually like to pay attention to these things?"
Miss Qian looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head and said, "I am a collector of information and read all the messy things, so I asked a little messy."
"That's it." Chen Chong touched his chin, looked at her with interest, and said, "There are two minutes left, you can continue to ask."
Miss Qian was stunned and asked, "Mr. Chen, there is news that you will invest 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in the mainland to build a building that is taller than the Hehe Center. Is it true?"
The news spread so quickly?
"I do have this investment intention. The only thing that has not been determined yet is whether it is built in Shenzhen or Guangzhou. As for investment, one billion is the most conservative number. I think the final investment amount may exceed one.5 billion.
"Mr. Chen, you have invested heavily in the United States and the mainland, but in Hong Kong, you rarely make big moves except for movies and TV stations. Why?"
"There is no project I want to invest in in Hong Kong for the time being."
"What about Taiwan?" Ms. Qian asked a very skilled sentence: "Mr. Chen often goes to Taiwan. This time he invested 1 billion yuan in the mainland to build a building. Aren't you afraid of being banned by Taiwan?"
"I am a businessman and I am not interested in politics. In my eyes, I treat everyone equally. Since I have invested in the mainland, Taiwan will of course also do investments, and the scale of investment may be larger than that of the mainland."
"Mr. Chen, will you still write songs at the Academy Awards Ceremony next year?"
Miss Qian had no talent for being a journalist. She asked questions very complicatedly. A few minutes later, Chen Chong raised his hand, made a pause gesture, and said, "Miss Qian, the time is up, I'm leaving."
"Ah? OK." She looked up a little confused, put away her small notebook, and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Chen,
"It's okay." Chen Chong looked at her big eyes and round face, and asked with a smile: "Miss Qian, what's your name?"
"Qian Xiaoni."
