Among all the film companies in Hong Kong, only Shaw Brothers and Future Golden Harvest can be considered to have truly opened up overseas markets.
Others, such as the once-powerful New Arts City, are often the box office champions on Hong Kong Island, but their global box office revenue may not be as good as a Shaw Brothers movie that only grossed 10 million in Hong Kong Island.
Most of Golden Harvest cooperates with film producers in Southeast Asia instead of building its own theater chains.
Only Shaw Brothers truly regards the Southeast Asian film market as its own ticket warehouse.
But once the film is not welcomed by the market, the losses will be more serious.
In addition, there is no guarantee for overseas investment, which also makes many people unwilling to take this risk.
These days are not decades from now. Not only are communications inconvenient, cross-border business often means settlement will be difficult.
Moreover, the boss is not local, which means it is difficult to manage, and over time, it is easy to be deceived by the locals.
Once there is a culture of corruption, no matter how you correct it, you will end up losing money and selling the cinema.
The most important thing is that the situation in Southeast Asia is not good.
Vietnam alone has been fighting for more than ten years and will continue to fight for more than ten years in the future.
After driving away the Americans, Vietnam turned its attention to Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar and other countries.
So much so that many wealthy businessmen in Southeast Asia regard Hong Kong Island as an ideal investment location.
Indirectly, it has pushed up land prices on Hong Kong Island, prospered Hong Kong Island's manufacturing industry, and also made Hong Kong Island need more labor.
For a while, as long as you arrived in the city of Hong Kong Island and went to the police station, someone would apply for an ID card for you.
That’s why Chu Xiangqian thought from the beginning that he would partner with others to open a movie theater in Southeast Asia, and even he had already done it. As long as the movie theater doesn’t lose money, it won’t make money if it doesn’t make money.
As long as you can ensure that the box office and box office of your movies in Southeast Asia can be repaid safely.
However, if the Fu family dares to play tricks on themselves, then Fu Xiangsen, Fu Jie and his son will not even think about it.
If you dare to play dirty, don't blame yourself for flipping the table.
Looking at Qian Guotai, Chu Xiangqian wanted to refuse again to go to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore to get rid of the two traitors.
But then I thought about it, as long as I had the specific addresses, identities, and photos of those two people, I could let the tits fly to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
With a bird's speed of more than 350 kilometers per hour, it only takes one day to fly to Singapore.
Even if you need to rest and hunt for food along the way, 10 hours is enough.
After finding the target, whether it is playing tricks on the brake line or pretending to be a car accident.
Or poisoning, it's not difficult.
Even if the opportunity is right, when the target appears by the river or in the swimming pool, the tit will swoop down and hit or slap the target on the head.
Two very young targets could easily be knocked unconscious by the tits and then drowned.
In this way, no one will suspect murder.
Chu Xiangqian nodded to Qian Guotai and said, "Have you brought the information?"
Qian Guotai hurriedly took out a document from his handbag. Chu Xiangqian read it carefully, left two photos, and returned the document.
"When I come back from China and finish handling business matters, I will deal with these two old guys."
Qian Guotai felt relieved and then asked hurriedly, "What are you doing back at this time?"
Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not say that he was going back, he was just acting for the ghost guy.
To avoid having difficulty explaining the origin of the white tiger, there are also so many sika deer and tiger supply issues.
"I've been out for more than two months. Why don't I go back to see my future wife? Besides, I plan to open a vegetable market next to the Yau Ma Tei Fire Station. I have to go back and ask if there is any dry goods outlet for me."
Qian Guotai couldn't believe this, but when he thought about it, Chu Xiangqian didn't go abroad, so he didn't have to worry about this or that.
When he returns to the mainland, comrades from the mainland will naturally come into contact with him.
It's better to keep an eye on what's happening to you and say hurriedly, "If you want useful information, just come to me."
Chu Qianqian shook his head. He spent a whole day at the Yau Ma Tei Police Station a few days ago and chatted with people about a lot of things out of boredom.
Although the Yingguo guys are obviously afraid of China, in fact they are just worried that China will take it back to Hong Kong Island.
Don't give in on some big things or very small things.
The precautions against agents are not as strict as usual.
Chu Qianqian thought for a while and then said, "From now on, unless there is something particularly important, you can come to me as an excuse to go to my dry goods store to buy something."
Qian Guotai nodded. Chu Xiangxiang had only been in Hong Kong for two months. Not only had he killed a local boss like Lai Hao, but his ability to make money was also extraordinary.
His importance is increasingly revealed.
It's a pity that no matter how much I checked, I couldn't find out where Chu Xiangqian got the money to buy half of the shares in Guangdao Hotel.
But as Chu Xiangqian got better and better in Hong Kong Island, his superiors sent him two encrypted letters in succession.
What I mean is to protect Chu Xiangqian as much as possible and stop all investigations into him.
After thinking for a while, Qian Guotai simply told the matter.
Chu Xiangqian believed it just after thinking about it. According to the memory left by some information he read casually on the Internet in his previous life, the superiors were not in a hurry to take back the land at this time.
On the one hand, he was in trouble and had a conflict with the red polar bear.
Second, as the actions of the United States in Vietnam become more and more obvious, there is a high probability of entering the venue in person.
The superiors are unwilling to push the infant countryman to the United States.
And the results also proved the wisdom of the superiors. During the Vietnam-Namibia War, only the Kangaroo Country, New Zealand, South Korea and other countries followed the Americans into Vietnam.
European countries such as Yingguo have been staying aside to watch the excitement.
For the above three reasons, we really need a channel to communicate with the outside world.
Many supplies are transited through Hong Kong Island and then transported to Macao and into the mainland.
Chu Qianqian thought for a while, since his superiors valued his safety so much, he should have an attitude as well.
Looking at Qian Guotai, he said, "Are you still short of Hong Kong dollars?"
"It's missing, of course it's missing." Qian Guotai wished that Chu Xiangqiang would exchange 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in gold bars with him every month.
Chu Qianqian smiled, put his hands into his suit to cover up, took out 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, threw it on the table, and counted another 800 yuan.
Then he said, "Ten gold bars worth ten taels."
Qian Guotai was overjoyed, "No problem, I will give you the gold bars when you come back."
Chu waved his hand forward, "No, you'd better tell the boss and leave it to me directly when I return to the capital. I'll take it back to Hong Kong Island myself.
Also, you'd better tell the boss and set the confidentiality level of my information to a higher level. Maybe there will be surprises."
Qian Guotai's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously believed Chu Xiangqian's words.
He nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, your information has been handed over to my immediate boss. Besides, as long as you are a businessman with peace of mind, some things are difficult to define.
There are not even a thousand but eight hundred people like you on Hong Kong Island, and many of them are even public members of society that are acceptable to both parties.
If you don’t serve in the government here, no one will doubt you.”
Chu Qianqian curled his lips, saying that only by being careful can you sail the thousand-year boat.
Many deeply hidden polar bear agents in the United States were dug out only after being betrayed by polar bear traitors.
Separating from Qian Guotai, Chu Xiangqian rushed to the plane at around 3pm and went directly to the airport.
After getting on the plane, the titmouse also began to fly south. By the time he arrived in the capital, the titmouse had already flown around Singapore Slope several times.
Chu Xiangqian looked through the tits and actually found the traitor's residence.
Just killing the opponent so quickly shows that one's power in Southeast Asia is too strong.
Then he commanded the tit to fly to Kuala Lumpur. After finding the second traitor, Chu Qianqian thought for a while and simply let the tit fly to Saigon in South Vietnam.
Unexpectedly, Titmouse actually discovered a dozen soldiers wearing Green Berets.
After thinking about it for a moment, Chu Xiangqian remembered that Stallone played the Green Beret of the American special forces in First Blood.
In other words, the Americans had already dispatched special forces into South Vietnam.
Whether you are working as an instructor or participating in the war with the South Vietnamese, the Chinese Empire definitely doesn’t know about this.
But then I thought about it, if it was just what I said without a photo, the superiors might not believe it.
After thinking about it again and again, Chu Xiangqian decided not to say anything.
Anyway, without his own intervention, the outcome of the Vietnam-Nanzhi War would be beneficial to China.
As long as there are no intelligence records in their files, even if a traitor leaks their information in the future, the United States and England will not be able to do anything about them.
So Chu Xiangqian quickly decided to exchange another 50,000 Hong Kong dollars for gold bars.
I have only been out for 2 months, and together with the three transactions with Qian Cathay, I have spent 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
If this scale is maintained, it will be 600,000 a year, which is already a considerable foreign exchange transaction for the country.
After arriving in Beijing and getting off the plane, Chu Xiangqian carried a large backpack for inspection.
Important and illegal items have long been placed in the Novice Village warehouse, and the backpack only contains clothes, some snacks, and tea.
There is nothing to check at all.
When I left the airport, I saw Xue Jianguo in a Chinese tunic suit waving to me.
Chu Xiangqian was moved in his heart, wondering if the superiors had transferred his second uncle, his uncle, from the police station to another department?
I thought so in my heart, but in action I stepped forward and hugged Xue Jianguo, "Second brother, long time no see."
Xue Jianguo was stunned. It was no secret that Chu Xiangqian never hugged others.
But this time his true feelings were revealed as soon as he came back, which shows that this boy still misses the past friendship.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Xue Jianguo patted Chu Qianqian's shoulder heavily. After some emotion, the two walked out of the shipping station and got into a car.
Chu Xiangqian felt more and more that Xue Jianguo's job must have changed.
Sure enough, while driving, Xue Jianguo said, "I have been transferred from the police station to another unit. I can't say the specific unit.
But from now on, when you return to the capital, I will receive you, and if you have any questions, you can report them to me."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Chu Qianqian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Are you going to go home and rest first, or go directly to my house to meet Lan Lan?"
Chu Qianqian thought for a while, "It's better to go home first, change clothes, take a good bath, and then go to your house for dinner tomorrow."
Xue Jianguo felt relieved when he saw him unceremoniously saying that he would come to his house for dinner.
Moreover, except for himself, no one else in the family knew about Chu Xiangqian’s return.
However, when I thought about how much weight my sister had lost in the past two months, I could not help but feel resentful and said, "You don't know, Lan Lan has lost a lot of weight recently, and she talks a lot less on weekdays.
If you don't come back, I'll beat you up."
Chu Qianqian felt nervous and secretly thought that Xue Jinglan was a silly girl.
But I looked at my watch and saw that it was already past 10 o'clock at night.
"It's too late. I'll go to your house early tomorrow morning to have breakfast, and then take Lanlan out for a day of fun."
Xue Jianguo nodded with satisfaction and chatted all the way. As he was about to enter the city, he suddenly saw some figures in the woods in the dark night, not knowing what they were doing.
Xue Jianguo looked at it for a few times, sighed and said, "I'm here to dig wild vegetables."
Chu Xiangqian fell silent after hearing this.
It was around 11 o'clock at night before I returned to the courtyard.
When asking Xue Jianguo to go back and rest early, Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and said, "Tell your superiors that I brought 50,000 Hong Kong dollars back this time, and I plan to exchange them all for gold bars and take them back to Hong Kong Island."
Xue Jianguo was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but swallow when he came to his senses.
At this time, the exchange rate between Tianchao currency and Hong Kong dollar is 1:1.4.
HKD 50,000 is almost 35,700.
If you can exchange it at the night market, you can get 60,000 to 70,000 Tianchao coins.
Thinking of this, Xue Jianguo couldn't help but look at Chu Xiangqian differently.
This is only two months after Chu Xiangqian went to Hong Kong Island and worked hard.
If we let him stay there for a year or two, does that mean the foreign exchange he can get will increase several times?
This is impressive after one year. No wonder the superiors transferred me from the police station to the Archives Section 9 of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a small unit chief sitting in an office.
He also specifically emphasized that no one except the top leaders had the right to view Chu Xiangqian’s files.
After Xue Jianguo came to his senses, he nodded hurriedly, "I'll report to the big boss right away."
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he simply used his coat as a cover and took out a stack of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars from the warehouse, which was still on the passenger seat.
"Be safe on your way back."
After saying that, seeing Xue Jianguo open his mouth, Chu Xiangqian guessed what he wanted to say, "It's not impossible to donate it to the country, but in the long run, the bigger my business gets, the more times and amounts I trade with the mainland."
Come bigger.
Moreover, business is not that easy, and I have drained away all my cash. I will be able to trade again at who knows when next time.
Also, merchants in Southeast Asia basically only accept U.S. dollars. Those who accept gold do so because I have done business with them several times and are considered regular customers.
Otherwise, people would not accept more than 30 kilograms of gold for a business deal of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars."
Xue Jianguo looked at the stack of Hong Kong dollars on the passenger seat, and his heart beat faster.
He nodded hurriedly, "I understand, I understand, I will make it clear to the superiors."
Chu patted the roof of the car forward and said, "Be careful on the road." After thinking about it, he simply took out a pistol from his waist and handed it to Xue Jianguo backwards.
"I'll give it to you to protect yourself so that you won't be worried along the way. Give it back to me when I go to your house tomorrow."
Xue Jianguo looked at Chu Xiangqian in surprise. When getting off the plane and entering customs, you need to check the items you carry.
On the contrary, passengers flying between Europe and the United States these days not only do not have security checks, but the items they carry with them are not even checked.
Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Okay, if I hadn't had any skills, I would have been eaten up by others when I was on Hong Kong Island. Don't talk too much about this, do you understand?"
Xue Jianguo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "I'll just pretend it's nothing."
Chu Qianqian smiled and took out his pistol just to test his second uncle.
If he is so pedantic that he has to report everything, then he is really not suitable to be his liaison officer.
From now on, I will definitely not mention anything outside the Mainland to him.
Watching Xue Jianguo drive away, Chu Xiangqian's heart moved, and a Colt appeared under his arm again.
Carrying a large handbag, I walked to the door of the courtyard and knocked on the door.
After a while, I heard the third uncle shout, "Who is it?"
Hearing Yan Fugui's voice, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.
"Third uncle, it's me."
Yan Fugui was stunned, and then ran out of the west wing of the front yard in ecstasy, opening the door in twos and twos, and sure enough he saw Chu Xiangqian standing outside the door holding a large handbag.
