Shi Zhijian stood up from the sofa, walked to the wine cabinet in the corner of the study room with his cigar in his hand, looked at the various drinks placed inside, and said in a relaxed tone: "You have been with me for so long, and you are considered diligent. Now it is almost the same."
It’s time to rise to the top! The rule in Xiangjiang is that only by letting more powerful people become your stepping stones can you truly join the ranks of tycoons! Among so many people around me, I only think highly of you, what do you think?"
"I...Mr. Shi, I..." Hu Juncai looked at Shi Zhijian's back excitedly, not knowing what to do.
Chen Huimin, who was guarding the door next to her, also had her head buzzing.
You must know that the first few people who followed Shi Zhijian were none other than Liu Jianxiong, Hu Juncai, Da Daoxiong and Hu Huyong.
Among them, the most talented one is Liu Jianxiong.
Liu Jianxiong and Liu Jianxiong were about the same age, and they were congenial. Unfortunately, Liu Jianxiong was too ambitious and always wanted to be higher than Shi Zhijian. In the end, he was disgraced and kicked out of the Shinhwa board of directors.
Although he has become famous now and has become a billionaire in Hong Kong, for many people, if it were not for Shi Zhijian, a big backer, he would not have reached this stage. To put it bluntly, Shi Zhijian was letting things go!
Not to mention anything else, in terms of real estate projects alone, Shi Zhijian deliberately gave away some profits to Liu Jianxiong's real estate company many times, but these were very secretive and not many people knew about it.
Many people think that Shi Zhijian is cold-blooded and treats his opponents ruthlessly, but only those around him know that Shi Zhijian is also very humane, and Liu Jianxiong is one of them.
Of course, the reason why Shi Zhijian did this was actually due to his own comparison, that is, Liu Jianxiong once helped him, and now Shi Zhijian has paid it back, and he owes nothing to us!
Except for Liu Jianxiong who is most likely to join the ranks of tycoons, Wu Juncai is among the remaining people.
First, Hu Juncai is educated and a barrister.
Second, Hu Juncai has a flexible mind. He has started his own company, and his current company is also very popular.
Third, Hu Juncai once helped Shi Zhijian in the arms business. This alone is fully qualified to become a tycoon!
As for Beard Yong, Da Daoxiong and others, even if they follow Shi Zhijian for a long time, it will not be easy to advance in terms of talent and background. After all, big guys like Lai Hao will be cleared and landed, let alone the two of them?
Of course, if time is used to calculate, as long as they are loyal to Shi Zhijian, Shi Zhijian will definitely give them promotion opportunities in the future.
Hong Kong Tycoon, who doesn’t want to do it?!
At least Chen Huimin wanted to do it, but unfortunately, he was just a bodyguard and driver beside Shi Zhijian, so it was impossible for him to do it intentionally in his life.
At this time, Chen Huimin couldn't help but secretly wonder why she didn't study more and why she wanted to join the association, otherwise she would be like Hu Juncai, a lawyer, who was pushed to the top by Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian looked at the wine cabinet for a while, then opened the door, selected a bottle of red wine and handed it to Chen Huimin, asking him to help him open it. When he turned around, he happened to see Hu Juncai looking excited -——
"Acai, don't get excited! To be honest, you are getting old and your hair is gray on your temples. How old are you this year?"
"Thirty-eight!"
"That's right, you were only in your thirties when you were with me, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye! If I make you wait any longer, you might blame me! I hope that you will be able to hold the position of Hong Kong Tycoon in the future.
, when the time comes we will attend the ceremony together and we can chat, we won’t be strangers!”
Hearing Shi Zhijian's words, Hu Juncai was about to shed tears, "Mr. Shi, I——"
Shi Zhijian asked Chen Huimin to bring over the poured red wine and handed a glass to Hu Juncai: "In short, I, Shi Zhijian, will never treat those who are with me, those who are loyal to me! What if you make more money in the vegetable business you are doing now? In
It seems that many big guys still can't get on the stage, and you don't want to get involved in the arms business, so you have no choice but to take advantage of Yan Xiong's status as Asia's arms king! As for you, just suffer some losses and become a jewelry king for once!"
"Jewelry King?"
"Yes! You will take part in this war, and I will appoint you as the CEO of Myth Jewelry Company——"
"Miss Xie Bingqian... doesn't she object?"
"She is my wife, and I don't want her to work so hard. Besides, a woman shouldn't be so public, so let her be your deputy!"
When Hu Juncai heard this, he immediately understood. Indeed, in this world of Hong Kong, men are the only ones who can do business. No matter how capable a woman is, she cannot socialize in nightclubs and dance halls all day long.
On the surface, Shi Zhijian asked Xie Bingqian to be his deputy, but he was actually protecting her. Of course, the power of this deputy was actually no less than that of the president, Hu Juncai.
"How about it, King of Jewelry?" Shi Zhijian raised his wine glass and gestured.
"Got-!" Hu Juncai hurriedly picked up the red wine and clinked glasses with Shi Zhijian. At this moment, he was in high spirits!
…
"Mr. Shi, I have sent Lawyer Hu away."
When Chen Huimin returned to the study again, she saw Shi Zhijian sitting on the sofa, drinking red wine alone, looking at the information in front of him, and said without raising his head: "Huimin, are you envious of Lawyer Hu?"
"Uh, this... yes, a little bit!" Chen Huimin hesitated and said, "Unfortunately, I don't study much and I know nothing except boxing, so I can't help you much!"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "You are wrong to say that. Everyone has their own specialties. What they should do, what they should not do, what they will do and what they will not do are all destined!"
Chen Huimin hurriedly walked up to Shi Zhijian, picked up the bottle of red wine, gently added some wine to Shi Zhijian's glass and said, "My specialty is serving you, Mr. Shi!" After saying that, he put down the red wine, took a step back, and was respectful.
Shi Zhijian smiled, pointed at the red wine and suddenly asked Chen Huimin: "Are you not interested in this feeling?"
"Uh, you mean red wine?"
"That's right!" Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "When I went to France this time, I met a friend named Louis. He just happened to open a winery in France, mainly selling high-end red wine. He hoped that I could help him in Hong Kong.
How about opening up the market here, are you interested?"
When Chen Huimin heard this, she was almost dumbfounded.
You know, privately Chen Huimin likes to show off, so he has done a very thorough "research" on red wine. In his opinion, by crossing his legs and shaking the red wine and waiting for the intellectuals, he can turn his once dark
History whitewashed.
Therefore, Chen Huimin has a "special liking" for red wine.
But these are some of his very secretive things. How could Shi Zhijian know?
Of course Shi Zhijian knows! In the previous life, after Chen Huimin retired from the film industry, she opened a winery and sold red wine. She also established a red wine company with Macau Bengyaju, singing and dancing with friends on the road to help sell red wine.
"Ahem, Mr. Shi, I am very interested in red wine, really! However, because the cost is too high, doing red wine business, this -"
"I pay and you contribute! Of course, you have another choice -"
"Uh, what?"
"Leave me and go filming!"
"What, Mr. Shi, you don't want me anymore? What did I do wrong? I'm sorry, I will change it!" Chen Huimin was startled.
"Don't be excited!" Shi Zhijian stood up and patted him on the shoulder, caressing him and saying, "Don't you and Dasha like acting very much? When I was not in Hong Kong, you even went to Jiahe to have a show -"
"Uh, this-" Chen Huimin scratched her scalp hard.
"Just do whatever you like! Only in this way can you achieve success! Besides, you can also help me drive the car after filming. I won't fire you!" Shi Zhijian said.
"My filming is taking up a lot of time. Will I be there to protect you, Mr. Shi?"
"Do I still need protection in Hong Kong?" Shi Zhijian's tone showed a hint of domineering, "Maybe there are people outside who dare to do evil things to me, but in Hong Kong - I am the king here, who dares?!"
Chen Huimin was stunned and looked at Shi Zhijian. For some reason, he felt a sense of leisurely admiration and respect in his heart!
Only people like Shi Zhijian dare to say this.
"But Huimin——"
"I'm here, Mr. Shi!"
"You are in the wine business. Before you make a movie, you need to do something for me first!"
"do what?"
"Help me find some people," Shi Zhijian said, "You have been in the entertainment industry for so long, you should know them!"
Shi Zhijian said, picking up a list and handing it to Chen Huimin, "Arrange a dinner, I want to meet them! By the way, don't tell them my identity yet, I'm going to give them a surprise!"
Chen Huimin hurriedly took the list and looked down, stunned!
Except for two of the people on the list, he didn't know them at all!
What about Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong, Wang Zuxian, and Zhong Chuhong? As for the two I know, one is Tan Yonglin, one of the lead singers of the famous Wen Na band, and the other is Jin Nian, who won the best actress at the Asia Pacific Film Festival with "The Eight Hundred Heroes"
Lin Qingxia!
"Please help me make an appointment with these three men and three women, and I will set up a game, okay?" Shi Zhijian reminded Chen Huimin again when he saw Chen Huimin holding the list in a daze.
"Oh, OK!" Chen Huimin hurriedly made an OK gesture, but she was worried in her heart, "Where can I find these people? They are terrible!"
…
For Shi Zhijian, Zheng Yutong's plan to cut off his capital chain was to think about the problem from the perspective of an opponent.
As an overlord who is about to dominate the jewelry industry, Shi Zhijian’s perspective is how to build the reputation of mythical jewelry!
Therefore, Shi Zhijian wants to copy the methods used in Thailand and continuously acquire newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and film companies in Hong Kong, and then use these media to fight public opinion wars!
What century-old store?
For Shi Zhijian, what everyone knows is a century-old store. If you don’t know, what if you are a thousand-year-old store?
Of course, it will definitely cost a lot of money to acquire so many entertainment companies, especially when it comes to movies. Shi Zhijian must first ensure that these movie companies can make money!
Whether a company can make money depends not only on whether the film is good or not, but also on the actors!
In the past, Shi Zhijian's biggest reliance was the kung fu superstar Bruce Lee. If Bruce Lee hadn't passed away, Shi Zhijian wouldn't have had to go to such trouble and just let Bruce Lee be his spokesperson.
Unfortunately, Bruce Lee died young in this life just like his last one! The murderer Shi Zhijian who killed Bruce Lee has not been found yet, but it is only a matter of time.
What Shi Zhijian has to do now is to constantly explore and cultivate new stars. Among them, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long have joined Golden Harvest, and Cheng Long has been given great hope to replace Bruce Lee and become the second dragon.
But Shi Zhijian is not satisfied yet. He wants to create more stars to serve Shinhwa Entertainment in the future. There is no doubt that people such as Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Guorong, and Tam Yonglin will all be big stars leading the development of Hong Kong movies in the future. The achievements of these people are limitless.
It is also the target of competition for many film companies.
What Shi Zhijian has to do now is to catch all these people!
…
Shi Zhijian's calculation was very accurate, but he was frustrated by Chen Huimin, who wanted to open a winery and do business.
Fortunately, Chen Huimin has been on the set frequently over the years and has met many well-known people in the industry, such as Tan Yonglin and Lin Qingxia, who were able to quickly settle the matter.
As for Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong, Zhong Chuhong and Wang Zuxian, he finally made an appointment with them through his own efforts in investigating, finding private detectives, contacting newspapers, etc.
At that time, Zhou Runfa was still playing a supporting role in TVB's "The Kid", acting cool while holding a toothpick in his mouth.
Zhang Guorong is more like a stupid young man who plunged into an unknown record company to dream of becoming a singer.
Zhong Chuhong also works as a sales girl in a department store.
Wang Zuxian also served as the appearance and main force of the school basketball team, but he was temporarily recuperating due to an ankle injury.
At the same time, they received an appointment call from Chen Huimin's agent, so out of curiosity and embarrassment, they agreed to meet Shi Zhijian.
In this way, almost three days have passed.
When Chen Huimin came back and reported to Shi Zhijian that things had been settled and that tonight they would be at a music bar and restaurant called "Rolling Stone" in Causeway Bay, he smiled at Chen Huimin: "I didn't expect that besides being interested in red wine, you were also interested in music!
"
Chen Huimin was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Isn't Rolling Stone a music company? The records it produces are very famous!"
"Is there any?"
When Chen Huimin asked, Shi Zhijian remembered that he had made a mistake!
The full name of Rolling Stone Records in the previous life was "Rolling Stone International Music Co., Ltd.". It was a Baodao record company founded by brothers Duan Zhongyi and Duan Zhongtan in 1980. It was also the largest independent record company in Asia.
It’s only 1975, so it hasn’t even been established yet.
"Oh, I remembered wrongly, it's from a foreign country! A foreign music company!" Shi Zhijian quickly changed his words, "I thought you liked music very much, so you chose a place like this!"
"No, I love music - cough!"
"Then this rolling stone——"
"Oh, I heard that the restaurant used to be a hotel, but then it was hit by a rolling stone, so it was changed into a Rolling Stone Bar. The boss said it was God's will!"
"Ahem!" This time it was Shi Zhijian's turn to cough and said: "This boss has character!"
