Chapter 469 Cao Weidong’s journey as a writer(1/3)

 Tom was knocked unconscious by Cao Weidong's heroic momentum of spending a lot of money.

He was stunned for a moment and finally came to his senses.

The man in front of me is a very wealthy man.

You must not offend yourself.

Normally, because the price of Suite No. 1 is so expensive, not many people in the entire Hong Kong City can afford it, so it has always been vacant.

That is to say, those famous second sons and rich buddies in Hong Kong City would occasionally come over to rent for a day or two in order to pretend to be flirty with girls.

But the Lord in front of me is different.

They rent it for three months at a time!

If he lets this business go, the boss will come over and kill him immediately.

Tom considered the stakes in his mind and quickly made a decision.

He suppressed his excitement and spoke in a fluent British accent.

"Sir, please go this way. I will take you to Suite No. 1 now."

The lobby manager hesitated a little, then came to Tom's side and whispered.

"Mr. Tom, if Mr. Ouyang comes to see you then..."

Tom frowned and said impatiently.

"Just say that guest room No. 1 has been reserved by someone, and pay him three times the deposit. Send him away and don't let him bother our most distinguished guest."

.......

In the 1960s, the Mandarin Hotel was one of the landmarks of Hong Kong City.

There is only one presidential suite in the entire hotel.

The name is [Mandarin Suite].

It is also commonly known as [Suite No. 1] and [Tianzi Suite].

This suite is on the top floor of the Mandarin Hotel, with an exclusive elevator and independent elevator lobby.

The decoration in the suite combines classic and modern.

It has a living room, a large dining room that can accommodate 12 people, a study room, a guest bathroom, a master bedroom suite and three servant rooms.

In addition, there is a luxurious bathroom decorated with marble in the master bedroom suite.

The bathroom is equipped with a round bathtub, where guests can take a bath and relax while enjoying the scenery outside the window.

The living room area has floor-to-ceiling windows and a private terrace.

Looking out from here.

You can directly overlook the scenery of the entire Hong Kong City Central.

In addition to these hardware indicators, the hotel also provides guests staying in Suite No. 1 with 24-hour butlers, limousine transfers, catering and other luxury services.

After listening to Tom's introduction, Lou Xiao'e was so shocked that she was speechless.

You're not staying in a hotel here, you're clearly here to experience the emperor's luxurious life.

Cao Weidong behaved very calmly.

He put little Siqiao on the ground, patted his little head and said.

"Let's play."

The little guy got off Cao Weidong's arms, his eyes flashing with exploration and curiosity, and he staggered around the room.

Lou Xiao'e followed behind with a worried look on her face, fearing that her son would fall.

Cao Weidong is still very satisfied with the environment here.

He said to Tom.

"That's it, dinner will be ready later and delivered directly."

Tom bowed like a gentleman and said.

"No problem, here is this gentleman. I will take you to the guest room."

Because Tom spoke in English, Shi Man did not understand, so Cao Weidong acted as the translator, and then Shi Man was placed in the guest room.

After cleaning up, Cao Weidong finally sat on the sofa and breathed a heartfelt sigh of relief.

He looked at Lou Xiao'e and Lou Sidong playing on the private terrace, and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. He felt that this life was like this, and it was good to have his wife and children by his side.

But soon, Cao Weidong drove this idea out of his mind and forced himself to think about it.

Regardless of whether he wanted it or not, the port city at that time was an extremely cruel duel ground. The winner took all, and the loser was forced to become "nutrition", squeezing himself and supplying the other party.

He is not alone now.

Xu Aiguo and Chen Xueru stayed in Shekou Commune waiting for them.

Ding Qiunan, the adoptive father and mother who stayed in Tongquan City, and the Zhenhua Energy Plant he founded.

There are also relatives and friends in Sijiu City.

They are all waiting for me.

Now there is only one way before Cao Weidong.

Continuously accumulate wealth!

Improve social status!

Become a master!

Only in this way can he become a trendsetter of the times in the magnificent golden age in the future, and help those he loves and those who love him, and contribute to the development of the motherland.

Cao Weidong thought about it and felt that the current top priority is to quickly integrate into the high-end social circles of Hong Kong City, accumulate contacts, and prepare for starting a business.

It's just that although he has spent a lot of money, he is an industrialist who went to Hong Kong City to look for investment opportunities.

However, if you rashly spend a large amount of money, it is still easy to be targeted by interested people.

At that time, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.

So Cao Weidong needs a suitable and decent job as a cover.

After some deliberation, Cao Weidong decided on his career.

Writer!

Through writing, you can quickly accumulate wealth and popularity.

And there is too much ink in his belly.

Don’t be afraid of not being able to produce good works.

Anyway, just be a copywriter.

A large number of articles in the world.

There is no shame in this.

.......

The first thing Cao Weidong did after checking into Suite No. 1 was to ask the lobby manager to sort out the newspapers and periodicals of the past month in Hong Kong City and deliver them to Suite No. 1.

The next period of time is spent reading.

Through these newspapers and periodicals, Cao Weidong had a general understanding of the development of the Hong Kong literary world.

Because the British Hong Kong government did not support the literary career in Hong Kong out of governance considerations, classical literature gradually declined.

But the people’s demand for literature still exists.

Therefore, many literary works have flowed into the public and began to cater to the needs of ordinary people.

In this general environment, it has promoted the trend of commercial development of Hong Kong literature.

In this colony where money rules everything and does not support cultural undertakings, if you want to support yourself with a pen, the only way out is to compromise with the public as buyers.

Writers write whatever readers like to read.

Therefore, popular novels in Hong Kong and Taiwan follow the principle of capitalist supply and demand, take the buyer as the foothold, and try their best to satisfy the curiosity of readers who have money and leisure.

Among them, newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong City most typically reflect this.

Because they are carriers of culture and organizations that make money.

Against this trend and background, the literature in Hong Kong City can be said to be the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his or her own magical powers.

In the 1950s and 1960s, after fierce competition, a group of new martial arts novels appeared in society.

The characteristic of this type of novel is that it integrates Chinese and Western cultures, with special emphasis on the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.

For example, it praises the patriotism and love of heroes and heroes, and it also praises the beauty of human nature, condemns the evil of human nature, and affirms new values ​​​​and new principles of life.

In short, it has a certain depth of philosophy of life.
