Chapter 1027: The Fortune of China
Seeing Guo Kongcheng's happy face, Fang Chen sighed a little helplessly in his heart, he could only let Su Yan take the blame, after all, the reason why he didn't like Xiangjiang could not be explained to Guo Kongcheng.
Moreover, not to mention the strength of the Guo family, whether it is important to him or not, let's just say that Guo Henian helped him so much, not only solved the affairs of the Malaysian oil field for him, but also generously lent him a private jet, and set up a banquet to introduce him to those bigwigs in the Chinese rich circle.
Even if he is thinking about Guo He, these film and television bigwigs who are so active in helping him contact Xiangjiang are worthy of him to maintain enough friendship and goodwill towards the Guo family, so as not to lose the face of the Guo family.
By the way, I almost forgot that Guo Yubo is also a member of the Guo family, so Fang Chen has even more reason to be friendly with the Guo family.
This Rolls-Royce, which represents the Guo family, carried Fang Chen to the most famous luxury residential area in Xiangjiang and the place with the highest housing prices in the world, Deep Water Bay.
Deep Water Bay has a beautiful environment, but it is also quieter than Repulse Bay, and it also has the largest golf course on Xiangjiang Island, so many Hong Kong tycoons such as Li Ka-shing and Kadoorie families have bought luxury houses here, and you can see the golf course luxury cars all day long.
When he arrived at No. 35 Deep Water Bay, Guo Henian had already led his wife and children to greet Fang Chen at the door.
After getting out of the car, Guo Henian grabbed Fang Chen's hand and said half-affectionately and half-reproachfully: "Mr. Fang, you think I'm old, and you don't even want to let me go two steps." ”
Unlike the last time he was hypocritically polite, he really wanted to pick up Fang Chen this time.
Fang Chen smiled slightly, "Guo Dong, how dare I dislike you for being old, judging from your current body and bones, I don't dare to guarantee that you are two hundred years old, one hundred and ninety-nine is still okay, the reason why I don't let you pick it up is mainly because I don't want to make such a big noise." ”
As Guo Henian, I don't know how many reporters in Xiangjiang who can't smell fishy around, if Guo Henian goes to pick him up, it won't take two hours, and the whole Xiangjiang will probably know that he is coming.
At this time, Xiangjiang has not yet returned, and his identity is already sensitive, if he is low-key, if this is a big fanfare, the ghost knows what will happen.
And Fang Chen is still a little worried, he just looted more than a billion dollars from Britain last year, completely unveiled the fig leaf of the Da Yu Empire, and lost his face, if any dignitary of the Da Yu Empire has a twitch of his brain, he has to find him trouble, although he is not afraid, but it is also trouble.
"The louder the momentum, the bigger the momentum, can they still make any waves? The return of Xiangjiang is a foregone conclusion, and they are just a group of clowns who have no way to get on the stage. Guo Henian waved his hand, looked indifferent, and said magnificently.
"Besides, others may still dare to move, but with your relationship with Clinton, it's good that you don't trouble them. Guo Henian glanced at Fang Chen meaningfully.
Seriously, he was optimistic enough about Fang Chen, but he really didn't expect Fang Chen to be able to get in touch with the President of the United States so quickly and become his No. 1 benefactor.
He is still very clear about the attitude of the US president towards the big financiers, especially those like Clinton, who are interested in running for the second presidential election, and Fang Chen will naturally be more enthusiastic and preferential treatment.
In addition, Fang Chen accompanied Clinton to attend the inauguration ceremony of the US president, and he had already seen it on television, judging from the position where Fang Chen was standing and the distance between him and Clinton, the relationship between Fang Chen and Clinton was closer than the outside world imagined before.
Fang Chen smiled and didn't say anything more.
After a few more pleasantries, Guo Henian took Fang Chen to visit his mansion in Xiangjiang.
However, to be honest, Fang Chen's evaluation of this mansion is more than exquisite, and the atmosphere is insufficient.
As the world's most expensive luxury residential area, the deep water bay mansion is naturally inhumane, all kinds of luxury can not help but come to the face, it can be said that all kinds of treasures from all over the world can be seen here, but the area is too small, only about 1,000 square meters.
Such an area is naturally outrageous for ordinary people, but for a big family like the Guo family, with a total population of twenty or thirty people, it is a bit insufficient.
Therefore, most of the children of the Guo family live in other places, that is, during the New Year's holidays, or when there is a big event like today, they will gather in this mansion.
Seriously, Fang Chen felt that Guo Henian's mansion was not as good, and the Yanjing courtyard house that Li Xiaohua said was going to give him was good-looking.
The small house in Li Xiaohua's mouth, and Shen's other courtyard, are almost more than 3,000 square meters, the main courtyard has a small hall, and there are supporting buildings on the left and right, in addition to two small courtyards, of which there are three wing rooms in the south, north, east and west, and six inverted seats.
The main hall, which can be almost two hundred square meters, Fang Chen is actually quite greedy.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen suddenly felt that it seemed necessary to get a house in Yanjing, even if it wasn't this kind of courtyard, but he also had to get a small villa or something.
After all, except for the time when he ran around, most of the rest of the time was spent in Yanjing, and although the hotel was also very comfortable, it was still not as good as at home, and in a few years, if he and Su Yan got married, he couldn't still live in the hotel, and the old people on both sides could beat him to death.
As for Luozhou, he wanted to go back, but Fang Aiguo and Liu Xiuying didn't necessarily want to see him, the two of them wandered around the province all day long, either to participate in the signing meeting, or to the writers' association meeting, and no one cared about him when he went.
Seeing Fang Chen looking at his house, Guo Henian said with a smile: "If Mr. Fang likes it here, you can also buy a property here, and you can come and live in your spare time, and the rate of return is also good, Li Jiacheng's set of No. 79 Deep Water Bay was bought early, only 650,000 yuan, and last year, Chen Shengze, the founder of Henghe Jewelry, bought a house here in Deep Water Bay, which is about the same size as Li Jiacheng's, and it cost a total of 65 million, which has risen a hundred times faster inside and out." ”
Hearing this, Fang Chen's mind moved, and he nodded lightly, it is indeed good to get such a house, and the house of Chen Shengze that Guo Henian said, he also knew that it was later bought by Pan Sutong of Goldin Group for 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is worth more than one million yuan per square meter, which is a suite of ordinary houses.
The name of Deep Water Bay is not in vain as the world's most expensive luxury house, and Deep Water Bay is also the place where the world's richest people gather.
The area of Xiangjiang is too small, and there are naturally few places where luxury houses can be built with beautiful scenery, but there are too many rich people in Xiangjiang, so there are a large number of rich people gathered together.
Take Deep Water Bay as an example, the world's famous richest people live in Li Jiacheng, the richest Chinese man known as Li Chaoren, and Bao Yugang, the former richest Chinese man and the world's ship king.
There is also Xi Xu Shixun, the owner of Zhongjian, his daughter-in-law is Li Jiaxin, which is located at No. 10 Dalang Bay, with an area of 8,000 square meters, and is known as the first mansion in Xiangjiang.
and Kadoorie, the chairman of China Power who controls 70% of the supply of Heung Kong Power, whose CLP Group spent tens of billions of yuan to build a power plant on Tsing Yi Island, and also invested in the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in Pengcheng.
and the richest man in Malaysia in front of him, the world's sugar king Kwok He Nian.
Seeing that Fang Chen was a little moved, Guo Henian hit the railway while it was hot: "I know that No. 58 Deep Water Bay is going to be sold, if you are willing, Mr. Fang, I can talk to Luo Lefeng of Jingyuan Group on your behalf, and we can also be neighbors at that time." ”
Now invest sixty or seventy million, and when the future can become twenty or twenty billion, this is almost equivalent to free money, why not, Fang Chen immediately agreed.
Not to mention anything else, just so enthusiastic about Guo Henian, Fang Chen couldn't agree.
After chatting with Guo Henian for a while, Fang Chen went back to rest, it was expected that there would be a war of words this night, and he needed to nourish his spirit.
After the evening, Guo Henian's house was brightly lit, and it could almost be said that all the lights in the house were turned on, which means that something big happened tonight.
And the luxury cars that have come to Guo Henian's house one after another also confirm this.
However, Fang Chen, who followed Guo Henian and greeted guests at the door, was a little surprised that the first one to arrive was the godfather of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry and a great philanthropist, Shao Yifu, who is well-known in China.
The godfather of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry and a great philanthropist, these are the two deepest impressions people have of Shao Yifu.
The first feature film in China, "Standing on the Ground to Become a Buddha", and the first sound film "Platinum Dragon" were both produced by the Shaw Brothers, and the Shaw Brothers' Tianyi Film Company and the Shaw Brothers Film Company, one in Shencheng and the other in Nanyang, can be said to echo each other and jointly support a piece of the sky of Chinese films.
But this is not the end of the legend, but the beginning of the legend, Shao Yifu went to Xiangjiang in 1958 to found the Shaw Brothers Film Company, and shot more than 1,000 films.
At its peak, it is said that 1 million people visited his theater every day. Shao Yifu was the first to implement the movie star system in Hong Kong, creating a large number of big stars, big directors and famous screenwriters, such as Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu...... All of them are from the Shaw Brothers.
The Shaw Brothers films, created by the Shaw family, have dominated the Asian film market for half a century, and the brand "Shaw Brothers must be a good product" is even more well-known in Southeast Asia.
In 1967, Shaw Yifu founded Hong Kong TVB, that is, TVB, and in 1971 opened a training class known as the "Cradle of Hong Kong Stars", the "golden generation" of Hong Kong entertainment industry such as: Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Carina Lau, etc., and even the great director Johnny To are from this training class.
TVB's TV series such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Shanghai Tang", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" triggered a grand scene of thousands of empty alleys in the mainland in the 80s of the last century, and are still regarded as classics by a generation.
It is worth mentioning that the selection and title of the Four Heavenly Kings are also handled by Shao Yifu.
After 1985, Shao Yifu spent an average of more than 100 million yuan every year to support various social welfare undertakings in the mainland, and he was even more fond of Chinese education.
Shao Yifu donated 3.2 billion yuan to mainland causes, benefiting nearly 5,000 schools and education projects in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.
It can be said that millions of students have gone to school and read books in Shaw Building.
And the moment he saw Shao Yifu's car, Guo Henian was also stunned, obviously he didn't expect that the first person to come was Shao Yifu.
"Dong Shao, you're early. Guo Henian joked with a smile.
As introduced by Shao Yifu to become a shareholder of TVB and served as the vice chairman of TVB, Guo Henian and Shao Yifu naturally have no relationship, and joking with each other is the norm.
Hearing this, Shao Yifu let go of Guo Henian's hand with some disgust, turned around and held Fang Chen's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "I'm looking at Fang Dong's face, what does it have to do with you bad old man." ”
Guo Henian suddenly rolled his eyes helplessly, and said stupidly: "You are more than ten years older than me, why have I become a bad old man, and I don't know which of us will enter the ground first." ”
Shao Yifu patted his chest and said confidently: "I don't think it's a big problem for me to live past a hundred years old." ”
Seeing this pair of old men and old men, Fang Chen couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and almost laughed, with such a good mentality, seventy or eighty years old can still make such a lively joke, no wonder the two of them live so long.
In his previous life, Shao Yifu lived to be 107 years old, and at the age of 104, he stepped down as the executive chairman of TVB, which can be described as a rare longevity star in the world, and also the world's oldest and longest-serving chairman of the board of directors.
And Guo Henian is more than ten years younger than Shao Yifu, and he has never heard of Guo Henian's poor health in his previous life.
Although he was not very active in the world after the millennium, Guo Henian also donated 200 million Huaxia coins to Xiamen University Malaysia in 2013, and as an honorary trustee of Yenching University, he also donated 110 million yuan to Yanjing University in 2017, which shows that his health is still very good.
At least it is better than the gambling king's health, and the gambling king can last for nearly ten years, and it is expected that Guo Henian will live to be 100 years old.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen couldn't help but move, he felt that the first thing he wanted was to ask these two for a health preservation technique.
Wouldn't it be a waste to meet two centenarians and not ask for some of these things.
Shao Yifu and Guo Henian joked with each other, Shao Yifu turned his head to look at Fang Chen again, looked up and down a few times, and said: "Forgive me for not reading much, when I was in middle school, I wrote on the spot in my family's company, and after graduating from middle school, I followed the third brother to Nanyang to start a film company, there are really no too suitable words to describe Mr. Fang, but the mainland can appear such a young man as Mr. Fang, a business wizard, it is really a blessing for the inland, a fortune for China, and a blessing for the sons and daughters of the Chinese." ”
