153, Chu Huan's advance layout in the real estate industry (7K chapter
Zhao Shizeng's sitting is definitely not just sitting.
Chu Huan knew that Cao Yunshang could also think of it.
So after giving Chu Huan a roll of his eyes, Cao Yunshang said that he would go home first.
Chu Huan thought for a while. After leaving Fengwu Securities, he first went to the hospital. It was at night to contact Zhao Shizeng, but what Chu Huan had to do now was to go to the hospital to pick up Miao Kexiu from the hospital.
Last night, Miao Kexiu strongly expressed that she did not want to be hospitalized. After consulting the doctor this morning, Chu Huan understood that there was indeed nothing wrong with Miao Kexiu. She just needed to take care of herself at home for a few days and there would be no problem after the sutures were removed.
What happened?
So Chu Huan agreed to Miao Kexiu's suggestion.
When she arrived at the hospital, Miao Kexiu had already changed into casual clothes. Chu Huan bought these clothes for her. When she was sent here, she was still wearing a costume.
After meeting Chu Huan, Miao Kexiu's face showed a sweet smile.
Chu Huan remembered the first time he met Miao Kexiu. Miao Kexiu's first impression of Chu Huan was that this girl was a little cold, and she seemed to be distant from others.
But after the two parties got to know each other, Chu Huan realized that Miao Kexiu was actually similar to girls of her age. At most, she was more attractive in appearance.
"Brother Huan, I've packed up here."
"Then let's go!"
Chu Huan was not ready to take the daily necessities that Qin Peng had bought before, but the costumes had already been sent back to the set by Chu Huan's people.
When filming at the Clear Water Bay Studio, you rent not only the space, but also the props, and costumes are also considered a type of props.
Since there was nothing to take, Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu walked out of the hospital empty-handed, got in the car and returned to the apartment.
“It’s still comfortable at home!”
After returning home, Miao Kexiu collapsed on the sofa and shouted happily.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I have already called Yuehai Restaurant. You should not cook by yourself these days. Yuehai Restaurant will deliver the food to you.
Also, when taking a shower, be careful not to expose the wound to water..."
Miao Kexiu supported the sofa with both hands, raised her head, and asked coquettishly: "Brother Huan, what should we eat tonight?"
After getting along in the hospital, the relationship between Chu Huan and Miao Kexiu is slowly getting closer.
"You'll know when it's delivered."
"Okay, then I'm going to take a shower now. You sit down for a while. I've been in the hospital for the past two days and it's made me miserable."
"Would you like to help...after all, it's not convenient for you right now!" Chu Huan teased.
Miao Kexiu's face suddenly turned red, but she just glared at Chu Huan in a blunt and charming way, and then ran to the bathroom as if running away.
Naturally, it is impossible for Chu Huan to go in. Although the relationship between the two is almost the same, Miao Kexiu's body is obviously not suitable for doing these things now, so she should wait a little longer.
Besides, Zhao Shizeng’s party tonight should not lack this item.
After having dinner with Miao Kexiu at her home, Chu Huan asked Qin Peng to drive to Zhao Shizeng's villa.
Zhao Shizeng did not live with his father, but had his own villa. Perhaps because of the influence of his family, Zhao Shizeng never married, but he had a daughter and two sons.
However, Zhao Shizeng's two daughters and sons have not yet been born.
In addition, Zhao Shizeng had a strong preference for Shaw Brothers actresses. The mother of his eldest daughter was the Shaw Brothers actress Yao Wei. At the same time, Zhao Shizeng had a very good relationship with Shao Yifu, and they could be said to have been friends for many years.
Zhao Shizeng's villa is very Western-style, and there is a huge swimming pool behind the villa, and Zhao Shizeng's party was held here today.
When Chu Huan came here, what he saw was that the place had become a wine pool and a forest of meat. Beauties in bikinis could be seen everywhere, covered in white flowers.
Zhao Shizeng was wearing a floral shirt with his arms open and a pair of large pants on his lower body. At this time, he was lying on a recliner, hugging him from left to right and saying something unknown.
Seeing Chu Huan coming over, Zhao Shizeng got up directly from the recliner and came to Chu Huan with a big smile: "Why are you late for Ah Huan's first party?"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Some things have been delayed temporarily, but if I knew that you were in this situation, I wouldn't have delayed it at all."
"Haha!" Zhao Shizeng burst out laughing when he heard what Chu Huan said, and then said: "You will gradually get used to it in the future."
As he spoke, he and Chu Huan came to the lounge chairs by the swimming pool. They sat down on one side of each other, and another girl wearing a one-piece bare-back swimsuit sat next to Zhao Shizeng.
"Jiajia, I don't need to introduce this one. Chu Huan, a young talent who is now famous in Hong Kong, is the boss of Black and White Video."
At this time, Chu Huan also recognized who the woman sitting next to Zhao Shizeng was. This was not from the memory of Chu Huan's previous life, but from the present.
Lin Jia, together with Pan Yaojing, Hu Yanni, He Lili and other twelve actresses, were called the Twelve Golden Hairpins by Shaw Brothers.
He has appeared in movies such as "The One-Armed Sword" and "The Jade Mask".
What Chu Huan didn't expect was that Lin Jia was now Zhao Shizeng's girlfriend, but according to Zhao Shizeng's habits, the relationship between the two of them would definitely not last too long.
Lin Jia naturally knew Chu Huan. Although in 1970, Lin Jia's contract with Shaw Brothers expired and the contract was not continued, Lin Jia did not quit the entertainment industry and was still making movies.
Who is the most popular person in the Hong Kong entertainment industry right now?
Of course it was Chu Huan.
To outsiders, Chu Huan's reputation may not be obvious, but within the circle, Chu Huan's name has been spread all over Xiangjiang in the past two days.
Everyone knows that Chu Huan's black and white videos were suddenly boycotted by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. As a result, it only took Chu Huan one day to turn the boycott into a joke.
Some seniors in the industry asserted that if nothing unexpected happens, in the future Black and White will become a film company that exists alongside Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in Hong Kong.
"Young Master Huan's name is well known to me. I was lucky enough to meet him today and I realized that Young Master Huan is actually even more handsome than he looks in the photos."
Lin Jialuo's sermon was generous.
"I have also watched Miss Lin's movies, which are unforgettable."
Since the other party is now Zhao Shizeng's girlfriend, Chu Huan is naturally smiling.
"Okay, Jiajia, you go swimming first. I have something to discuss with Ah Huan."
Lin Jia said charmingly: "Then you have to hurry up!"
After saying that, he stood up and left. His smooth back left people with endless reveries.
Chu Huan knew that Zhao Shizeng had invited him over today, and it couldn't be as simple as just drinking and picking up girls.
"Brother Zhao, just tell me if you have anything to do."
Zhao Shizeng laughed and said: "The environment here is not suitable. Let's go to the house to chat."
Chu Huan nodded and followed Zhao Shizeng to the living room. Compared to the bustle of the swimming pool, it seemed much deserted. Except for Chu Huan and Zhao Shizeng, there was no one else.
"Ah Huan, I invite you here this time because I really want to ask you something serious." Zhao Shizeng was rare and serious at this time.
Later generations knew about Zhao Shizeng mostly from some gossip news, and more often they associated him with the title of playboy.
But in fact, this man is very good at business.
Zhao Shizeng's father, Zhao Congyan, was a shipping king in Xiangjiang along with Bao Yugang, Cao Wenjin and Dong Haoyun. Naturally, Huaguang Shipping was the top priority in the family business.
However, Zhao Shizeng's playboy and unabashed character was not liked by Zhao Congyan. On the contrary, it was Zhao Congyan's wife Ni Yazhen who liked his son the most.
So Zhao Congyan assigned Zhao Shizeng to a real estate company that was not taken seriously by the family.
During the shipping cold wave, Huaguang Shipping inevitably suffered heavy losses. At that time, it had a debt of HK$6.7 billion and was even delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. At that time, Zhao Congyan was not allowed to auction off his favorite antiques to repay the debt.
Huaguang Shipping completed its asset restructuring in 1986, resumed listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1987, and paid off all debts in 1992.
After helping his father complete this series of things, Zhao Shizeng returned to the real estate industry and became a famous rich man in Hong Kong.
He also became good friends with Huo Yingdong, Li Jiacheng, Wang Dehui, Guo Bingxiang, Feng Jingxi and others.
In fact, this also shows the complexity of Zhao Shizeng. He likes to hang out with younger people, but at the same time he is able to maintain friendly relationships with these business tycoons.
"The thing is like this, I now have the idea to enter the real estate industry, and I would like to ask your opinion, a young talent!"
Chu Huan was slightly startled by Zhao Shizeng's words. Chu Huan originally thought that Zhao Shizeng had invited him here to talk about Shao Yifu's affairs, but he did not expect that Zhao Shizeng would ask him about the real estate industry.
I have never done anything in the real estate industry, and my relationship with Zhao Shizeng seems not to have reached this level. How could the other party suddenly find me?
"Why did Brother Zhao ask me this?"
Since he couldn't figure it out, Chu Huan asked directly. There was no need to hide this kind of thing.
Zhao Shizeng laughed and said: "Of course it's based on my observation. Ah Huan, you have been acquiring theaters one after another during this period, and you also adhere to the principle of only buying and not renting...except Li Sheng Cinema Line.
According to my analysis, if it is rented, it should be more suitable for the current black and white video and Shanhai Cinema. But you insist on buying the land of the theater, which has to make me doubt that you should also be involved in real estate.
What’s the industry’s plan?”
Smart man!
Chu Huan couldn't help but look at Zhao Shizeng in a different light. He was indeed a smart man. Until now, Zhao Shizeng was the only one who could see Chu Huan's purpose in investing in the theater.
In fact, before this, Chu Huan had always been opposed to purchasing too many properties before 1973 to increase his financial burden.
After all, by that time, land prices in Xiangjiang will drop significantly. Buying at this time will only result in a loss.
So Chu Huan still lives in a rented apartment, and several company offices are also rented, as are supermarket chains and audio-visual companies.
But Chu Huan only chose to buy land instead of renting it for theater chains that required the most investment.
There are actually a lot of helplessness here.
First of all, Chu Huan wanted to make Chu Tianxiao feel that he had invested all his money in the film industry, so as to relax his vigilance.
Only in this way can Chu Huan wait until Chu Tianxiao takes action.
Secondly, when Chu Huan purchased theaters, he also deliberately selected theaters that were not in the mall to acquire.
In Xiangjiang, there are two ways for cinemas to exist. The first one is the independent cinemas that Chu Huan has acquired. Most of these cinemas are independent shops on the street, so they can be bought together with the land.
The second type is in shopping malls or industrial buildings. Cinemas in these places are movie theaters that were rented by theater operators from real estate developers and then renovated.
It is difficult to obtain land for this type of cinema, so they can only sign a lease.
People say that if the rent is raised, the rent will be raised, and the lessor has no choice at all.
In later generations, the number of movie theaters in Xiangjiang shrunk rapidly because the rent was too high and the lessor could not afford the expenses. It was a helpless move.
As for the first type of cinema, the housing prices in Xiangjiang are so high, there is nothing better than opening a cinema to make money, so they will disappear faster.
However, Chu Huan also saw this. From a short-term perspective, it is obviously inappropriate to purchase land at this time, but if the time line is extended, it will be different.
Wherever these lands are placed, it doesn't even have to wait until the era when Chu Huan was reborn. In the 1990s and 2000s, the price of these lands will bring hundreds of times in return to Chu Huan.
After careful consideration and analysis of the pros and cons, Chu Huan made his previous decision.
Buy first and then talk!
Everyone thought that Chu Huan did this because he wanted to rapidly expand his theater chain, but only Zhao Shizeng saw something deeper.
"I am indeed optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang's real estate industry."
Now that the other party has seen it, Chu Huan did not hide it and directly expressed his opinion. However, Chu Huan still did not explain everything clearly. Now, there are still big problems before the stock market crash in 1973.
Half a year later, it is really shocking to say it now.
Of course, neither party has reached that level of friendship.
After receiving Chu Huan's affirmative reply, Zhao Shizeng immediately showed a smile on his face and said, "I think so too. Is Ah Huan interested in the two of us cooperating to establish a real estate company?"
Zhao Shizeng's performance today really surprised Chu Huan. First he saw Chu Huan's layout in the cinema, and now he invited Chu Huan to co-found a real estate company?
However, Chu Huan thought for a while and still rejected Zhao Shizeng's invitation: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhao, although I really want to agree to this, but I don't have much cash now, and the film company will definitely need a lot of investment in the future.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to cooperate with you for a while."
After integrating the small and medium-sized film companies in Xiangjiang, the benefits brought to Chu Huan are not only the fact that Shanhai Cinema no longer needs to worry about the film schedule.
What's more important is that more directors and actors will join the black and white video side. These directors and actors are actually similar to Lin Jia just now, working as a one-man gang.
With the addition of these people, the amount of black and white film production will definitely increase, and Chu Huan's investment will naturally increase as well.
Another reason why Chu Huan didn't say it and didn't agree to Zhao Shizeng was actually the cooperation between the two parties. What Chu Huan needed was absolute control over his own industry.
If they cooperate with Zhao Shizeng, who has the final say between Chu Huan and Zhao Shizeng in the real estate company?
In addition, it is natural that now is not the best time to enter the real estate industry. If Chu Huan already has a large-scale real estate company in his hands, then Chu Huan will definitely choose to go public this year like Cheung Kong Holdings, Sun Hung Kai, and New World.
Take advantage of the bull market in the Xiangjiang stock market to raise more funds and develop the real estate industry.
But Chu Huan does not have such a company in his hands now.
For Chu Huan, the best time to enter the real estate industry is next year, not this year!
Regarding Chu Huan's rejection, Zhao Shizeng was not surprised and did not force it. He just laughed and said: "Well, it seems that we can only wait until we have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "I think there will definitely be a chance!"
According to Chu Huan's character, it is impossible to jointly establish a real estate company with Zhao Shizeng, but they can cooperate on a certain project in the future.
"Haha, now that we've finished talking about the serious business, it's time for us to be happy now!"
Zhao Shizeng stood up happily and walked out of the living room together with Gao Qinghuan.
"I just heard that you were coming. I searched for a long time but couldn't find you. I didn't expect that you were talking to Brother Zhao!"
As soon as the two came out, Chu Huan saw an acquaintance again.
Guo Bingxiang!
"You guys have a holiday?" Chu Huan asked in surprise, counting the time, it's not here yet.
Guo Bingxiang smiled and said: "The school affairs are almost done, I came back early."
It seems that these people go to school just like me, all to gain some knowledge and experience, not really to become scholars in school.
"By the way, Ah Fa also called me some time ago and said that he will be back in the next few days. Then we will have a welcome banquet for him?"
Guo Bingxiang suggested.
After chatting with Chu Huan, Feng Yongfa returned to Vancouver.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "No problem, just call me when the time comes."
"Okay, let's not talk about these irrelevant things at this time. Everyone is here to have fun tonight."
Master Zhao held Chu Huan and Guo Bingxiang's shoulders and walked directly to the swimming pool.
The three of them really stopped saying anything serious at this time, and began to nod and comment on the girls at the party like ordinary men.
"Master Huan, it turns out you are here too!"
While the three of them were chatting, a girl in a white swimsuit came over.
Your size is wrong!
After Chu Huan saw the other party, he immediately commented in his heart.
The visitor was already very familiar to Chu Huan. She was Tian Ni, a contracted actress of Black and White Video. But what Chu Huan didn't expect was that he would see her here.
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be here either." Chu Huan said with a smile.
Tian Ni stood next to Chu Huan and said with a smile: "Director Li said there would be no part for me tomorrow. My friend told me there was a party here, so I came over."
"So you guys know each other?" Zhao Shizeng asked with some confusion.
Lin Jia also returned to Zhao Shizeng at this time and said with a smile: "You don't know yet, Tian Ni is now a contracted actor of Huan Shao Black and White Video, and is starring in a movie directed by Li Hanxiang."
Although Zhao Shizeng likes to find celebrities in the entertainment industry, he pays attention to this person, not what this person is doing, so he doesn't know much about Tian Ni's situation.
"So you two are really destined to meet each other here."
Master Zhao was joking.
"Since Miss Tian is an actress in Ah Huan Company, you two must be very familiar with each other, right?"
Tian Ni pretended to be aggrieved and said: "I think so too. The key is that Young Master Huan is too busy every day. I have invited Young Master Huan several times, but Young Master Huan has never given me the honor."
Zhao Shizeng complained: "Ah Huan, this is your fault. How can you refuse a beautiful woman's invitation? You can't make enough money, but beautiful women are eternal."
Naturally, the reason for rejecting the beauty's invitation was because he had a better beauty to accompany him... Chu Huan smiled and said, "I'm quite free today!"
When Tian Ni heard this, her eyes immediately shone, and her body was already leaning on Chu Huan: "Since Mr. Huan said so, you have to have two drinks with me today."
"no problem!"
Soon there was an unknown but beautiful girl beside Guo Bingxiang. The six of them sat there chatting and laughing. Occasionally, other people came over to toast, and everyone could chat with each other.
Late at night, Tian Ni got into Chu Huan's car wearing a windbreaker and left Zhao Shizeng's villa with Chu Huan.
"Master Huan, I don't know what happened to the air conditioner in my apartment. It hasn't been working since I woke up this morning. It's almost too hot!"
Leaning next to Chu Huan, Tian Ni spoke with charming eyes.
At the same time, she also secretly gave Chu Huan some hints, such as lifting the skirt of her windbreaker to reveal her smooth and white thighs... This woman did not even change out of her swimsuit. At this time,
The only thing inside the windbreaker was the swimsuit she wore before.
No wonder the other person feels a little wet when he leans on her body?
"You are now the number one heroine of "The Warlord", so the company will naturally take care of you. If you don't get a good rest, the filming of subsequent movies will be in trouble."
After Chu Huan finished speaking, he said to Lin Feng who was driving in front: "Go directly to Mandarin Oriental."
Lin Feng said nothing, but changed the direction of the car.
Tian Ni also heard the meaning of Chu Huan's words, took Chu Huan's arm, and at the same time put Chu Huan's hand on her thigh.
"Huan Shao is considerate of others. It is an honor for me to be an actor in Huan Shao's company!"
"It is our honor to have an actor like you, Tian Ni."
It feels really good, smooth, tight and elastic. God is fair. After closing a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you.
...
Mandarin Oriental!
After Lin Feng opened the room and handed the key to Chu Huan, Tianni held Chu Huan's hand and hung her whole body on Chu Huan's body, and the two entered the elevator.
.......
Standing by the bedroom window, Chu Huan opened the window and let the early morning sunlight shine into the room.
Looking back, he saw Tian Ni lying on the bed still asleep. Chu Huan knew that God had not opened one window for Tian Ni, but several windows.
Sweetie was crazy last night, which can be seen from the fact that she hasn't gotten up yet.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Huan took out his wallet from his jacket pocket, took out 5,000 Hong Kong dollars and put it next to the bed.
Then he went to the bathroom to take a bath.
For a woman like Tian Ni, Chu Huan knew very well what kind of treatment she should give her. It would be nice to call her out occasionally and discuss each other's poker skills. As for the rest, don't think about it.
In fact, Tian Ni also understood Chu Huan's positioning of herself, but understanding did not mean that she could accept it, so when Tian Ni got up and saw the 5,000 Hong Kong dollars on the bedside, she bit her lips and showed unwillingness in her eyes.
Tian Ni just got up from the bed and went to the bathroom, but by this time Chu Huan had already left, leaving her alone.
"It seems that we still need to use more methods."
After taking a bath, Tian Ni was barefoot on the ground picking up her clothes one by one. When she saw a new set of clothes and underwear placed in the living room, Tian Ni decided that she could not let Chu go like this.
joyous.
As for Chu Huan, it is naturally impossible to know what Tian Ni is thinking. The reason why he prepared new clothes for Tian Ni is not because Chu Huan wants to show his thoughtfulness, but because Tian Ni is now a contracted artist of the company. In broad daylight
In case someone sees her wearing only a swimsuit under her windbreaker.
The media in Xiangjiang will definitely explode, which will not be a good thing for Tian Ni, and naturally it will not be a good thing for the movie she stars in.
After Chu Huan came out of Mandarin Oriental, she bought some breakfast and went to Miao Kexiu's apartment.
After arriving at Miao Kexiu's apartment, Chu Huan saw Miao Kexiu standing at the door wearing only a loose long-sleeved T-shirt with her lower body disappearing.
After seeing Chu Huan, Miao Kexiu's face was obviously slightly red, and her feet touched the ground gently, "Brother Huan, you are here!"
"Yes, didn't I promise you before that I would have breakfast with you today?"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "What, you're not welcome to go in and do it?"
"Welcome, welcome!" Miao Kexiu quickly stepped aside and let Chu Huan enter the room.
"Get ready to eat!" Chu Huan placed the breakfast he brought on the dining table.
"Brother Huan, why don't you take off your jacket? It's a little hot!" Miao Kexiu said curiously when she saw Chu Huan's sports coat zippered to its highest position.
"No need, I didn't sleep well last night and had a cold. It's good to sweat a little." Chu Huan said without changing his expression.
There are still a few wrapping marks at the bottom of Chu Huan's neck. If others saw this, they would all know what Chu Huan did last night.
"Got a cold?"
Miao Kexiu worriedly walked to Chu Huan's side, gently stood up on her tiptoes, touched Chu Huan's forehead with her own hands, and then touched her own forehead. She didn't know if it was due to psychological suggestion.
"I really have a fever. I have medicine at home. I'll get it for you now!" Miao Kexiu said with a worried look.
Chu Huan grabbed Miao Kexiu and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if you take medicine, you have to wait until you finish breakfast."
Feeling the warmth from Chu Huan's palm, Miao Kexiu blushed again and said, "Okay!"
But then, Miao Kexiu didn't let Chu Huan do anything, and helped Chu Huan get the bowls and chopsticks and set them up.
The two of them had a slightly ambiguous breakfast. In order to avoid the traces on her body being discovered, Chu Huan made an excuse to leave beforehand after eating breakfast.
