After Hong Kong Island Properties acquired Shaw Brothers Cinemas, it immediately renovated all cinemas, improved the cinema's software and hardware facilities, and improved the audience's experience.
More than a dozen movie theaters were renovated together, and the commotion was quite big. Smart people would know at a glance that Shaw Brothers Cinemas had changed hands, because Shaw Brothers is a well-known stingy person in Hong Kong, and it was impossible for him to spend money to decorate movie theaters.
"Sir, there is a man calling himself Pan Disheng coming to visit." Wu Ma came to Suning and reported.
"Oh? Pan Disheng?" Suning looked a little surprised. She had no contact with this person. "Wu Ma, can you let them in?"
Suning only knew that Dickson Poon was the son of the Hong Kong watch king, and he also left his own legend in the Hong Kong entertainment industry from the early 1980s to the early 1990s.
When Wu's mother brought Pan Disheng and a middle-aged man into Su's house, Suning saw that the other party looked familiar and remembered that Pan Disheng was the young man who bid with him at the Sotheby's auction house last year.
"Master Pan, hello! Welcome!"
"Haha, hello, Mr. Su!" Pan Disheng shook hands with Suning with a smile on his face, "I hope Mr. Su doesn't mind about the last auction."
"Master Pan, you are serious! Su is not such a stingy person." Suning smiled nonchalantly, and then looked at the middle-aged man behind Pan Disheng, "Who is this gentleman?"
"Haha, thank you for your generosity, Mr. Su! This is Mr. Pan's driver, Uncle Hao." Pan Disheng thanked him, then took a box from the attendant and handed it to the confused Suning, "Mr. Su, this is my first visit.
I would like to give you a special meeting gift, and I hope Mr. Su will accept it."
"You're welcome, Master Pan. Please sit down, both of you!" Suning smiled and took the wooden box, then placed it casually on the coffee table nearby. "Wu Ma, serve tea!"
"Thank you Mr. Su!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Seeing Suning placing the gifts so casually, Pan Disheng and his entourage Uncle Hao were a little surprised. Then Pan Disheng smiled and explained, "I heard that Mr. Su loves antiques. He just got a Yuan blue and white porcelain vase as a special gift to
Mr. Su is playing around."
"Yuan Qinghua?"
"Yes! I just don't know if it is authentic."
Suning curiously opened the wooden box and revealed a piece of exquisite porcelain. At this time, Wu Ma also brought tea.
"Wu Ma, go to the small garden and call the old man here."
"Yes! Sir."
Seeing that Pan Disheng was a little confused when he mentioned the old man, Suning did not rush to explain. Instead, he gently picked up the porcelain bottle and began to identify it carefully.
The composition of the porcelain vase is rich, with multiple layers but not chaos. The vivid visual effect gives Suning a sense of simplicity. When Suning looked at it and signed it "Wu Zhen", he was already roughly convinced that it was an authentic product.
"Master Pan's gift is too expensive, and Su can't afford it."
"Haha, you're welcome, Mr. Su!" Seeing Suning rejecting the Yuan blue and white porcelain vase, Pan Disheng smiled and explained, "For a layman like me who doesn't understand antiques, keeping this Yuan blue and white porcelain vase is a waste of natural resources."
At this time, Mr. Guan, supported by Meng Xiaozao, came to the living room where everyone was talking. Then Suning introduced Pan Disheng and the two of them, "You two, this is Su's master Guan Dexing."
Pan Disheng and the other two quickly stood up and looked at Mr. Guan with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Guan!"
"Okay! Hello!" As soon as Mr. Guan entered the living room, his eyes were attracted by the Yuan blue and white porcelain vase on the coffee table.
"Old man, this is Mr. Pan Disheng, the son of the Hong Kong watch king."
"Oh? Master Pan, please sit down!"
Mr. Guan said a few casual greetings, then picked up the Yuan blue and white porcelain vase and looked at it carefully. Pan Disheng and the other two were even more delighted when they saw Mr. Guan's behavior. Suning and Mr. Guan liked this gift more and more.
, which means they are more likely to achieve their goals.
After a while, Mr. Guan said aloud, "This is a work by the painter Wu Zhen during the Renzong period of the Yuan Dynasty. It is indeed a rare Yuan blue and white porcelain vase."
"Haha, as long as Mr. Guan likes it." Pan Disheng and Uncle Hao smiled at each other.
"Master Pan, you have given me such an expensive gift, so there must be something going on, right?" Suning went straight to the point and looked at Pan Disheng.
"Yes! Mr. Su." Seeing Suning going straight to the point, Pan Disheng explained with a smile, "Pan heard that Shaw Brothers Cinemas was purchased by you, Mr. Su. I wonder if it can be resold to Pan?"
"Haha, I'm really sorry!" Suning heard Pan Disheng's intention, shook his head and said, "The theater chain is one of the important projects of Hong Kong Island Real Estate. I may disappoint you, Mr. Pan."
"This..." Pan Disheng did not expect that Suning would refuse directly, and then tried again and asked, "Mr. Su, can't we discuss it?"
"Master Pan, the theater chain is currently being renovated, and Hong Kong Island real estate will not be sold."
"Huh? I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Su today. Let's take our leave." Pan Disheng and Pan Disheng looked very unhappy, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, the gift is too expensive." At this time, Mr. Guan, who was playing with the Yuan blue and white porcelain vase obsessively, suddenly said, "Since we can't help, we must not accept your gift."
"this......"
"Haha, what my master said makes sense, Master Pan should take the gift away! Su deserves it!" Suning said to Pan Disheng and Pan with a smile while wrapping the Yuan blue and white porcelain vase again.
"Uncle Hao!"
"Yes! Master!" Pan Disheng's entourage quickly took the Yuan blue and white porcelain vase handed over by Suning.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Guan, we are disturbing you today."
"Haha, Master Pan is so polite." Suning stood up and sent Pan Disheng and the two out of Su's house.
Pan Disheng and Uncle Hao left the Su family in a Mercedes-Benz luxury car. Then Uncle Hao, who was driving, looked at Pan Disheng with an ugly face through the rearview mirror, "Master, this Suning is not giving you face!"
"Huh! What I want to do cannot be stopped by others." Pan Disheng said firmly, "Although we did not win the Shaw Brothers theater chain, it does not prevent us from continuing to build our own theater chain.
I plan to buy properties across Hong Kong and convert them into movie theaters.
As long as we have five or six cinemas of our own, we can join forces with other individual cinemas to form a new cinema chain."
When Suning came back again, she still had a look of regret when she saw Mr. Guan. Suning smiled and joked, "Old man, are you a little reluctant to let go?"
"Hey! If such a good thing falls into the hands of an ignorant person, it will be a waste of money!"
"Haha, although the gift is good, it is too irritating, so I have to decline it."
"Well! Are there any auctions in Hong Kong recently?"
"Haha, there won't be an auction!" Suning explained with a smile, "But a batch of antiques we purchased in Europe will be shipped back in a while, and Shattered Hou will also come back with them."
"Hey! My body is not suitable for long-distance flights, otherwise I would be able to fly around the world like Bao Bao Hou." Mr. Guan said feeling a little regretful.
"Old man, it's the same if you stay in the country to appraise antiques."
As his acquisition of antiques around the world is on track, he collects a large number of precious antiques every day and then transports them back to the country. The funds in his account are also spent like running water.
In addition, the maintenance of antiques and the operation of museums require a lot of financial support. Fortunately, I own Hongtu Automobile, Channing Electrical Appliances and Hong Kong Island Real Estate, three powerful tools for attracting money. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to survive.
...
On Han's mother's birthday in November, Suning held a birthday party and invited many business tycoons who had helped him and had contacts with both parties. Even Li Ping'an, who had been promoted, was also invited.
It was the first time for Mother Han to have such a lively birthday party, so she seemed very happy. When she saw the big stars on TV running over to congratulate her on her birthday, Mother Han seemed even happier.
Looking at Han's mother who was happily taking pictures with celebrities like Andy Lau, Li Ping'an looked at Suning with admiration, "Suning, I didn't expect you to be so filial."
"Haha, it's a matter of course." Suning shook his head disapprovingly, and then looked at Li Ping'an with a smile on his face, "Brother Li, I heard that you have been promoted, but I haven't congratulated you yet!"
"Haha, maybe after attending your mother's birthday party, I will fly back to the capital to take up my post."
"Oh? So urgent?" Suning looked at Li Ping'an in surprise.
"Yes! The new unit needs people very much."
"Suning, why don't you come to my place?" At this time, Mr. He walked over with a smile, "Mr. Li, hello!"
"Mr. He, you are here too!"
"Well, my new yacht will come to Hong Kong next month. Come and play on my yacht then." Mr. He extended an invitation to Suning.
"Okay! I will definitely go and see it when the time comes."
"Suning, you really don't look like young people who only play with antiques all day long." Looking at the steady Suning, Mr. He shook his head with emotion, "You must know that yachts, sports cars and private jets are what you young people should play with.
something.”
"Haha, I have always liked antiques since I was a child, and I have no interest in other things."
"This is not good!" Mr. He shook his head incomprehensively, and then suggested, "You are not very old, you should hang out with Arqiong and the others more often, and don't turn yourself into a little old man."
"Haha, what Mr. He said makes sense." After hearing Mr. He's evaluation, Li Ping'an agreed and said, "Suning, you really should hang out with young people more."
"Haha, okay! I will pay more attention to these things."
The banquet that day was a great success, and Han's mother was always happy from ear to ear. Suning also deepened contact with her business partners, and unexpectedly confirmed several cooperation projects.
After the music ended that night, Suning looked at Mother Han who looked tired, "Mom, are you exhausted today?"
"No! I didn't expect to celebrate my birthday like this."
"Haha, if you like it, Mom, I can hold a birthday party like this for you every year."
"Haha, okay!" Mother Han agreed in surprise, and then thought of the other four children in the capital, "I'm just missing your four brothers and sisters. It would be great if they were here too."
"Mom, they may not be able to adapt to this kind of situation. On the contrary, it will make them feel uncomfortable."
"Yeah, too!"
There were dedicated service staff cleaning the scene. The Su family went back to their rooms to rest tiredly. Nancy and Zhong Chuhong also accompanied Suning back to their rooms.
"Ahong, you've had a busy day today, how do you feel?"
"Brother, I'm okay! The little guy kicked me several times again."
"Oh? The child is so naughty?" Suning smiled and leaned against Zhong Chuhong's belly to listen to the child's movements.
"Brother, do you like boys or girls?"
"It doesn't matter! I'm not a patriarchal person."
"Suning, I heard that the watch king's son Pan Disheng wants to acquire Shaw Brothers Cinemas?" Nancy asked with a smile.
"Well, maybe he has been talking to Shao Laoliu, but he was intercepted by our Hong Kong Island Real Estate."
"Suning, I recently received news that Pan Disheng is unwilling to give up and has been planning a new theater chain."
"Well, it's okay!" After hearing Nancy's news, Suning shook his head indifferently, "It's not as heavyweight as our Hong Kong Island theater chain, so I don't think Dickson Pan can make any waves."
...
With the development of one or two years in Beijing, Yuebin Catering Co., Ltd. has summed up a lot of experience. Seeing the huge market in Beijing and even the country, Yuebin Catering is beginning to prepare for expansion.
"Xiaoguan, Taozi, the next focus of Yuebin Catering is expansion. We must quickly occupy the Beijing market and open branches in major cities across the country."
"Okay! Chunming."
"For important cities like Shanghai, it is best to buy properties directly. I will let Longdu Real Estate follow up on this."
"Chunming, with such rapid expansion, there is a huge demand for employees." Guan Xiaoguan said a very important key issue.
"Well, we should recruit employees from the local area and then send people from the capital to train them. This problem should be easily solved."
"Okay! I understand."
"Taozi, the kitchen aspect is also a top priority. While sending chefs from the capital, we must also collect local famous chefs locally to ensure the taste and quality of the dishes."
"Okay! Don't worry about this. I have been collecting and training chefs for the past two years."
"Well, that's good!" Suning nodded with satisfaction, "Taozi, I heard that your Yu Suqiu is pregnant?"
"Well! Four months." Li Chengtao grinned.
"Haha, you may be busier and busier next time, but you must communicate with Yu Suqiu!"
"Don't worry! Suqiu understands my work very well."
After talking about work matters, Suning took Guan Xiaoguan home. As soon as he got in the car, Guan Xiaoguan leaned on Suning's shoulder and whispered, "Chunming, I want it too."
A child of my own."
"Okay! I will stay in the capital for these few days, and then the two of us will work harder."
"Well! Chunming, I heard Nancy is pregnant again?"
"Well, I just got pregnant not long ago, so we have to work hard!"
Guan Xiaoguan, Zhong Chuhong, and Nancy, these three women all knew about their respective existences, but they were still willing to continue to follow Suning in peace. In fact, Suning felt a little incredible.
Suning had never thought about getting married. After all, no matter which woman he married, the other two women would not be able to accept it. It would be better to just continue to maintain this relationship.
As for the "heroine" Su Meng, Suning also heard that she was on a blind date, but she had no idea in her heart. Even if she ran in front of him, he would not accept her.
Now that Suning already has three women, it can be said that she is truly satisfied, and will not cause huge trouble to Su Meng. I believe she will not accept his passion.
