Chapter 26 Small talk
"Mr. Chen, this is a letter of intent to jointly develop a new generation of LCD screens with Sharp. The law firm has reviewed it and there is no problem in the legal process."
Chen Chong took it and looked at it casually, then turned to the last page, and signed several documents in just a few strokes.
"This is the agreement to acquire Singapore Lisheng Radio Company."
Chen Chong took it and signed the signature.
"Mr. Shen, this is the document to acquire the New Japan Project."
Chen Chong looked up, looked at the folder in Gu Liwei's hand, and said, "Give it all to me, sign it all in one go, so as not to get the trouble."
"This is an agreement to invest in Japan Bandai Co., Ltd., this is an authorization letter related to the acquisition of Japan Namco Co., Ltd., and this is a power of attorney related to the holding of Nishuo Co., Ltd...." Gu Liwei saw Chen Chong's every note and signed it, and couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Chen, don't you look at it?"
"What's good about it?" Chen Chong signed a document, looked up at her, and said, "Why, I'm worried that I would invest randomly and destroy Oriental Charm and let you lose your job?"
"What did Mr. Chen say?" Gu Liwei reacted quickly, smiled and complimented him, and said, "All Chen is the God of Wealth. With you in charge, HSBC will not go bankrupt even if Oriental Charm goes bankrupt."
"Vivian, you are not sincere, you are too false."
"Mr. Chen, every time you invest, you make decisions in a very short time. Some investments, such as New Japan Planning Company, have just been established and have unknown products. How do you determine that they have investment value?"
Will I tell you how many years New Japan plans will change its name to K and create many extremely popular arcade games?
Chen Chong just smiled and said, "It's just that the blind cat hits a dead mouse. If you cast a net in the sky, you can always catch a few big fish."
Gu Liwei was speechless. The amount involved in each document is as low as hundreds of thousands of dollars and as high as tens of millions of dollars. This way of casting a net is too luxurious. No wonder someone recently joked that if Chen Chong had not had a girlfriend with a strong husband's luck, the God of Wealth would have become a poor god long ago...
"Okay, we're done signing." Chen Chong put down his pen, sorted out five or six documents, handed them to Gu Liwei, and said, "You can take them to file first, and then hand them over to Yuan Tianfan."
After Gu Liwei left, Chen Chong was busy with work for a while, and then looked at the time. It was almost five o'clock, so he packed up his documents, stood up, and prepared to go to the next door to find Zhang Aijia. There was a cocktail party held by China Resources Company in the evening to attend.
The news that Taiwan has lifted the ban on more than 0 mainland goods in UU has long been spread to Hong Kong, which has made many people smell business opportunities. Taiwan’s official policy pursues the “three no” policy and will never contact the mainland. There is neither navigation nor trade between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. If these goods want to enter the Taiwan market, they must be transited through Hong Kong merchants. Therefore, as the mainland’s general trade agent in Hong Kong, China Resources Company has been very popular recently. Every day, countless people have flocked in to inquire about the news and want to get a share of the pie.
Because of Chen Chong's secret reminder, after Liao Chengzhi and Wei Jingmeng had a secret meeting in the United States, Zhang Xiancheng personally organized a group of Hong Kong businessmen with close ties to Taiwan to visit the mainland. This time, Taiwan's relaxed attitude made him add a lot of political points and spoke more heavily within China Resources. Tonight's cocktail party was arranged by him. As the behind-the-scenes driver, Chen Chong naturally wanted to support him.
When he opened the door, Chen Chong smelled a strong smell of coffee. He looked at the people in the room and said with a smile: "Are you running a salon? Why don't you call me?"
"It's boring to ask you to come." Chen Yunwen teased him carelessly and said, "Look, it was originally lively, but when you come, it's silent."
Anhua Xu, Brigitte Lin and Hu Yinmeng are not as casual as hers, and they all stood up and said hello.
"Sit all, or I will say that I am full of official spirit again." Chen Chong responded with a smile. After sitting down, he took the coffee handed over by Aijia Zhang and asked Anhua Xu: "When will Au come back?
"I just returned the day before yesterday."
"Where is Yan Hao?"
"Yan Hao has gone to Beijing." Anhua Xu shook his short hair and explained: "His father wants to go back to Beijing to see him. He has been there. He will probably go back to Guangzhou next week. When he arrives, I will go there again."
Yan Hao's father is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a member of the Writers' Association. He was paralyzed due to a heart attack two years ago and was ill in bed. Chen Chong once visited him. He was very weak and was already in his twilight years. This time he went to Beijing, he should have wanted to return to his roots and did not plan to return to Hong Kong.
"I'll ask Vivian to send a telegram to Yan Hao later, telling him not to worry, stay in Beijing for a few more days, take good care of his father, and wait for filming." Chen Chong looked at Anhua Xu, who had been tanned a lot, and said, "You can also take a few more days off."
"Sister Auu wants to rest, but unfortunately she can't rest." Chen Yunwen said with a coffee cup. "She is going crazy. She holds the script every day and talks, and she is thinking about how to film when eating and sleeping. I'll watch it. If she rests, she will go to Qingshan Hospital to accompany Shisanlang."
"Where did I have it?" Ann Hui smiled and fought back, saying: "Isn't it the same when you wrote the script last year? Now I haven't gone to Qingshan Hospital to take medicine and get injections. Instead, I sit here and drink coffee and say sarcastic words.
Chen Chong observed Anhua Xu and felt that she was improving well, not as exaggerated as Chen Yunwen said, so he asked with a smile: "A lot of pressure?"
"Of course it's big. Big characters like Liao Chengzhi, Red Line Girl, Bai Xuexian, Ren Jianhui as consultants. Guangdong and Hong Kong cooperate with tens of millions of dollars. Can you have no pressure?" Chen Yunwen teased: "And you, the big boss of black face, are you staring at me from behind. Who is not afraid? When I wrote the script, you had to deduct every word, and the script was like this. Then Sister Auu had to think about every shot repeatedly when she was filming?"
"It's not that exaggerating." Chen Chong waved his hand and said, "Au, don't listen to nonsense. I know every word she writes. Of course, I need to review it word by word, but I don't understand the filming. You and Yan Hao have their own controls, so I will never interfere. Don't be too nervous. It's not good to be too nervous."
Ann Hui smiled implicitly and said, "I know."
"Tsk, treat it differently."
"For a domineering female talent like you, you must beat her hard, otherwise you will easily rub your nose and get into your eyes." Chen Chong likes Chen Yunwen's crazy personality very much. After complaining to her, he asked Anhua Xu: "How is the casting going?"
"The Guangdong government and Zhujiang Film Factory are both very cooperative and have helped us select many people. Most of them have already chosen them. Now there are only a few key figures." Xu Anhua looked at Hu Yinmeng and said, "Ms. Hu said just now that she really wanted to play Shisanlang's first love. I also think her temperament and image are very consistent. What does Mr. Chen think?"
Chen Chong's song "Too Worried" made Hu Yinmeng and Li Ao's already shaky marriage completely over. After she went to Teresa Teng's concert with Shen Chong and Zhang Aijia in Taipei, she immediately completed the divorce procedures and then signed a contract with Oriental Charm to come to Hong Kong to develop.
"If you want to talk about image and temperament, rr is indeed very suitable." Chen Chong looked at Hu Yinmeng, whose appearance and temperament were not inferior to Brigitte Lin at all, shook his head, and said, "But rr I don't recommend you to act in this movie."
Hu Yinmeng expressed her surprise with a perfect expression and asked, "Why?"
"Because this is a filmed in mainland China, if you act, you will definitely be banned by Taiwan." Chen Chong put the coffee cup on the coffee table and said, "This will hurt your acting career."
"I don't care." Hu Yinmeng appeared to be quiet and elegant, but her personality was very strong. She divorced Li Ao and signed a contract with Shen Chong's company. Taiwanese media responded fiercely to this, some criticized and some were insinuated. There were many excessive words. She frowned with a good-looking brow and said, "I don't want to go back to Taiwan anymore."
"That won't work." Chen Chong vetoed and said in a stressful tone: "Since you have signed a contract with Oriental Charm, I will be responsible for your acting career, Shisanlang's first love only appears for a few minutes, without even a name, just a symbol. This is a very important role for the plot of the movie, but for the actors, this is an optional role. You cannot lose three to five years of golden career for a dispensable role."
"Speaking of this, I think you female stars, you, HrIt, and IvIa, don't know what you are doing now, nor what you will do in the future." Chen Chong said as he rose and began to speak loudly, saying: "You are all very passive. You can shoot whatever other people ask you to shoot, and you will shoot whatever you want. This is wrong, do you know? You must have your own ideas and plans. Female stars are for youth, and you only have more than ten years of glory, so you must think about every drama and don't shoot randomly. That's meaningless. There are so many women in the world, and few people can become celebrities. Since God has given you a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament, you must cherish it. Like the love movies that HrIt and IvIa used to shoot, are they movies? That's a photo album. No matter how good the photo album is, it's just a photo album, not an art."
His furiousness made the people in the room look at each other in a speechless manner.
"Okay, OK." Zhang Aijia sat obliquely on the armrest of the sofa, massaged his shoulders with both hands, and said, "No wonder he didn't want you to come. Look at you, he lost the good atmosphere as soon as he came."
"I am born to be suitable for burning the piano and cooking the crane." Chen Chong shook his head and laughed at himself, then asked Anhua Xu again, saying, "Have you not chosen the protagonist yet?"
"No." Xu Anhua was very upset and said, "Yan Hao and I ran all the Cantonese opera troupes of all sizes in Guangdong, but we haven't found the right person yet."
After decades of confinement in the mainland, its thinking is very rigid. It not only exists in the economic field, but also in the film industry. For example, when shooting martial arts scenes, you will definitely go to a martial arts school to find actors. When shooting Peking Opera dramas, you will definitely go to a Peking Opera troupe to find someone. Chen Chong once watched an interview in his previous life. In the RU era, a Hong Kong actor went to the mainland to film. When he was performing a bloody performance, the props went to the hospital to borrow a pack of real plasma...
