Guo Zhenhua and Yang Luming were stunned. They didn't expect Chu Xiangqian to ask this matter so directly.
Guo Zhenhua shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet, but if nothing else happens, I should open a restaurant."
Speaking of this, Guo Zhenhua's eyes showed a trace of confidence, "You don't know, I am actually a cook. I followed the master on the stove and practiced martial arts when I was a teenager."
Chu Qianqian laughed, as if Uncle Long had a very unhappy time in the film industry during his first few years.
Once disappointed, I went to Australia to work as a cook for half a year.
If a big boss hadn't brought him back, Uncle Long might actually have become a great chef.
It is also because of this experience that Uncle Long's attitude towards filming is so dedicated and hard-working.
Chu Qianqian saw that Guo Zhenhua was already grateful to him because of what Baifanyu said.
Just say directly, "I do have a serious job here. Not only does the salary be good, but it is also very suitable for you. Do you want to follow me for a year and a half to see first?"
Guo Zhenhua thought for a while and secretly said that he would get more than 500,000 yuan by selling the Lichi Ballroom.
But the money has been agreed upon, and half of it will be given to the subordinates and bosses.
I have more than 200,000 yuan in spare money, so I don’t have to worry about my life. However, when I was only in my twenties, I was just a mess. When I think about it, I feel that if that is the case, I will be useless.
"Is this really a serious job?"
Chu Qianqian laughed and said, "If you want to sign a contract, find a lawyer to look at the contract and you will know if it is serious business."
Guo Zhenhua, Yang Luming, and Mrs. Gao were nearby, and Uncle Biao felt relieved.
Even the bride-to-be, who had been hugging Mr. Fu before, came over and hugged Guo Zhenhua’s arm and said, "Cousin, I am studying law and have to intern at a law firm.
After reading the contract, I still have no problem."
When Guo Zhenhua heard that his cheap cousin Gao Xinxin was a lawyer, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, my cousin will ask you for advice on legal matters from now on."
Gao Xinxin was secretly happy and nodded with a smile, "It's agreed that if you have anything, just send me a telegram. Or Ajie and I can come to Hong Kong to help you with ideas, and stay with mom for a while, and then go back to Nanyang." As soon as these words came out, Guo Zhenhua, Yang Luming, and Mrs. Gao suddenly showed expressions of embarrassment and uneasiness on their faces.
I thought about marrying off my daughter, but it was a waste of water. Moreover, the man lived in Nanyang and his business was there.
Basically we will never see each other again.
But this incident doesn't mean that in the future Gao Xinxin, her husband, and their children will come back to visit relatives every few years, or even every year?
Guo Zhenhua is not the boss now, nor does he have a stable source of income.
Mrs. Gao is simply a poor woman from the bottom who sells flowers.
From now on, it would be unreasonable for my daughter and son-in-law to come to visit relatives and stay in a hotel all the time.
After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian's eyes lit up. After noticing the expressions of Guo Zhenhua and others, he couldn't help but smile and said to Fu Jie and Mr. Fu, "Two of you, are you interested in discussing a business deal? And this matter also involves Guo Zhenhua and others.
Sir, we can sit down and chat first.
If you feel something is inappropriate, how about just treating it as small talk?"
Fu Jie was moved. During the past few days since he came to Hong Kong Island, he had a very fond impression of Guo Zhenhua, the last cousin who appeared in his wife's mother-in-law's family.
Besides, Chu Xiangqian is also a celebrity, and he took the initiative to express that he just wanted to talk first.
He looked back at his biological father, Fu Xiangsen.
Mr. Fu was actually a little unhappy when he heard this. After all, today was a banquet with his in-laws, so the timing was a bit wrong.
But looking at her son's expectant eyes, she secretly thought that she should also let her see the world.
Otherwise, no matter how outstanding you are in school, you will inevitably have some unrealistic idealistic ideas in society.
"Then let's sit down and drink tea later and talk in detail."
Chu Xiangqian smiled. If he wanted to get involved in the film industry, he would definitely get involved in the theater industry.
Cinemas are also an ideal project for hoarding real estate.
After seven or eight theater chains are built on Hong Kong Island, we will still have to focus on overseas box office.
If you want to follow Uncle Liu's example and build your own theater chain in Nanyang, you can, but it will cost twice as much.
But if we cooperate with a well-known family in Nanyang, things will be much easier.
Just as he was talking, he heard the cashier shout loudly, "Chief Superintendent Charles and his wife have arrived."
People from the Fu family and the Gao family hurriedly nodded to Chu Qianqian and turned to greet the ghost Charles.
Chu Xiangqian simply didn't leave in a hurry, but stood in the hall and waited.
Sure enough, after Charles shook hands with his host and said hello, he soon saw the tall and tall Chu Qianqian.
He hurriedly brought his wife over and reached out his hand and said, "Chu, I didn't expect you to come to today's banquet."
After Chu Qianqian shook hands with the other party, he smiled and nodded to Charles's wife, and then said, "Mr. Guo and I are friends. He sent me an invitation, so of course I have to come over."
Charles looked back at Guo Zhenhua in surprise, and Guo Zhenhua, Yang Luming, the Fu family and his son were also shocked by Charles' attitude.
Ghost guys have always been arrogant, especially Yingguo guys.
When Charles saw Guo Zhenhua stunned, he couldn't help but scorn him. He turned to Chu Qianqian and smiled brightly again, "Sir Norton sent me a telegram at noon yesterday saying that he had arrived at Broadland Manor safely.
He also said that there has been progress in what he promised you.
If nothing else, there should be a plane flying from Hampton to Hong Kong Island today."
When Chu Qianqian heard this, he felt relieved.
If Norton is not trustworthy, there is really nothing I can do against him for the time being.
I can only think about when in the future I will trouble him again.
Of course, even if there is a loss, it is just the 20,000 Hong Kong dollars handed to him at the racecourse.
Chu Qianqian looked at Chief Superintendent Charles and said, "If the plane lands, please let me know."
"No problem." Charles also wanted to know what kind of deal Norton and Chu Xiangqian were doing.
If possible, I might be able to get involved.
And Chu Qianqian is eager to drag Charles into the water.
Don’t think that British people are very patriotic. In the face of interests, patriotism is often the last choice for capitalists.
To put it bluntly, these days the British people have long been infiltrated by red polar bears. Sometimes Moscow understands England better than Downing Street.
After entering the banquet hall, Charles's wife winked at Chu Qianqian, then separated from Charles with a smile and went to chat with other ladies.
And the old guy Charles has been chatting with Chu Xiangqian, but secretly tried to trick him several times.
It's a pity that Chu Xiangqian is not a young boy. Not only did he say some specious words, but he also learned from Charles that there have been cases of cargo being stolen at the port recently.
Moreover, the chatting and laughing between Chu Xiangqian and Charles had long been noticed by more than a dozen Inspector Hua and some celebrities.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, several young English inspectors walked quickly to Charles and whispered a few words, and then saw Charles's expression change.
He said "Sorry" to Chu Qianqian and left the banquet hall with the others.
Chu Xiangqian's hearing was already excellent, so he naturally heard the conversation just now.
With a slight smile on his lips and his eyes on the tit, he saw Wallace's car deeply embedded in a big tree on the side of the road.
However, Wallace is a lucky guy. In such a serious car accident, his head was smashed and his left hand was broken.
Sitting in the back of an ambulance, he let a doctor clean and bandage him.
Fei Bo and several of his plainclothes men, covered in sweat, were lying next to the car inspecting the vehicle.
It seems that Wallace has determined that someone has tampered with his car.
Chu Xiangqian said regretfully and stopped caring about that.
Walking to Baifanyu, he said, "Uncle, congratulations."
Bai Fanyu looked back, hurriedly took Chu Qianqian's arm, pointed at a few middle-aged people, and the old man said, "Everyone, who is Master Chu? I don't need to introduce him anymore?"
Everyone nodded, these people were not gang bosses, but real local celebrities.
Baifanyu was able to invite them because he was taking advantage of Lei Luo. Otherwise, even if he had begun to transform in recent years, he would not have even thought of inviting these people to attend such a banquet.
After chatting until after 10 o'clock, many guests had already left. Baifanyu then took Chu Xiangqian into a study room and formally signed the transfer contract for the Lichi Ballroom with Guo Zhenhua.
The specific contract has actually been read by a lawyer, but Guo Zhenhua probably thought it would be cheap because his niece studied law.
I hurriedly asked Uncle Hai to call Gao Xinxin in and see if there was any problem with the contract.
Chu Qianqian smoked his cigar in boredom for a while before Gao Xinxin nodded, but still whispered in Guo Zhenhua's ear, "Cousin, there is no problem with the contract, but it seems that the business situation of the Lichi Ballroom is not bad. Why are you in such a hurry to sell?"
Guo Zhenhua didn't know how to explain it to Gao Xinxin, so he could only smile awkwardly and said, "Business matters won't be clear for a while. You just need to know that your cousin didn't suffer a loss this time."
Gao Xinxin looked back at her future cousin, Yang Luming, and felt relieved when she saw her nodding to him.
When Baifanyu saw this, he couldn't help laughing, "Guo Sheng is so lucky to have a niece who cares about you so much and understands the law."
Guo Zhenhua showed an awkward smile again and quickly changed the subject, "Boss Bai, you can sign now. But I hope you can keep your promise and treat my brothers well."
Baifanyu patted his chest and said, "I, Baifanyu, have been living in Hong Kong for more than 20 years. Who doesn't know that I always do what I say?
Besides, today I specially invited Master Chu to come over as a witness, so you can rest assured."
Guo Zhenhua and Yang Luming did not understand the meaning of these words, but Uncle Hai looked at Chu Xiangqian thoughtfully.
Listening to this, Master Chu should have other identities besides being a great martial artist.
Moreover, this identity can make Baifanyu and even the thunder tiger behind him wary.
Thinking of this, Uncle Hai couldn't help but have more thoughts in his mind.
After signing and paying, Lichi is yours.
"Achu, if you have nothing to do, how about having a drink with uncle?"
Chu waved his hand forward, pointed at Guo Zhenhua and said, "Uncle, Guo Sheng, Mr. Fu and I also have a business to discuss."
Baifanyu was stunned and secretly thought that if Chu Xiangqian was so confident, could he easily convince Guo Zhenhua to join him?
"Do you want uncle to help?" Baifanyu said this, but actually he wanted to stay and hear what the business was.
Chu Xiangqian shook his head indifferently, still thinking about his investment in cinemas in Nanyang. The more people who invest in the theater, the better.
One is to save money, and the other is that I actually don’t have much thought on real estate in Nanyang.
But Baifanyu and even Lei Luo are different.
In their eyes, there is not much investment in Hong Kong Island. Since their family’s money is piled up, they naturally want to find a project to invest in.
"Uncle, if you are interested, please sit down and listen."
Bai Fanyu nodded hurriedly. He may not have confidence in Chu Xiangqian's vision, but he is very confident in his power.
Chu Xiangqian's previous actions, words, and performances all prove that he does have strong connections in the mainland.
If the drought in the mainland is alleviated, we can make a lot of money just from the grain business every year.
After all, at least 20 to 30% of the food for the three to four million people on Hong Kong Island is imported from the mainland.
If it can account for one-tenth of this imported grain, it will also involve food rations for hundreds of thousands of people.
Even if each person only earns 10 cents, that is more than 10,000 yuan a day, and 3 to 4 million yuan a year.
Moreover, as long as we maintain good relations with the mainland, this business can last for ten or twenty years, no problem.
Not long after, the Fu family father and son, Mrs. Gao and Uncle Biao also entered the study.
It seems that all the guests have left.
After serving tea and coffee and chatting for a while, Mr. Fu became less and less confident in his business.
Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether there was a Fu family or not.
It can be said that even the rich and aristocratic families in the traditional sense have to give face to Bai Fanyu and Lei Luo in Hong Kong Island.
And Hong Kong Island is a market that Chinese people throughout Southeast Asia want to enter.
Those Nanyang businessmen who have already invested in Hong Kong Island are naturally willing to cooperate with Baifanyu to open a movie theater for Lei Luo's sake.
"Mr. Fu, if I spend 1 million Hong Kong dollars to open movie theaters in several places where Chinese people gather in Nanyang, how many movie theaters can I open with this money?"
Fu Xiangsen, Fu Jie and his son were stunned, and their first thought was that Chu Qianqian was talking nonsense.
Even Baifanyu was surprised. At the end of 1957, Lei Luo took the position of detective for only 800,000 Hong Kong dollars.
At that time, this 800,000 yuan was already more than 10 times the normal price.
If you spend 800,000 yuan this year, you can at least buy a 2,000-square-meter mansion in Taipingshan.
Or in Causeway Bay, buy 20 houses of 1,000 square feet, or 93 square meters.
And 20 units is almost a whole building.
Chu Qianqian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I can raise this money within a month. If I'm lucky, 5 million will be no problem.
And even if I am bragging, Mr. Fu is just talking and doing some preliminary research, which does not cost much money and energy."
Fu Xiangsen couldn't help but change his attitude when he saw that Chu Xiangqian said so firmly and as if 5 million was just a small amount of money that could be easily obtained.
Baifanyu rolled his eyes and secretly said that it was just like what Chu Xiangqian said. Before he saw the money or the collateral that was enough to reassure him, he asked to help. In fact, it was just a talk.
In this case, helping Chu at this time is equivalent to earning a favor.
"Qianqian, if you want to open a theater chain in Nanyang, come to me."
