Fok Yingdong's villa at 33 Sassoon Road, Pokfulam, was originally built by the French. In 1970, Fok Yingdong bought the villa and moved here with his family, living in the villa for three generations. The villa is surrounded by tall plants, like an ancient castle, solemn and noble, attracting many wedding couples to take wedding photos outside the door.

When Xu Wangqiu and Xia Meng came over, there were newlyweds taking wedding photos here. After entering the villa, Xu Wangqiu found that this villa has two buildings, of which the main building is three stories high, the exterior wall is made of granite, the roof is assisted by an orange-red tile roof, the appearance is quaint and simple and reveals the nobility, there is a large round pavilion on the left side of the main building, there is a grass in front, and the layout is exquisite. Next to it there is a two-storey worker's dormitory, while on the ground floor is a garage.

Fok Ying-dong is a staunch patriot and always enthusiastic about those who can make a name for themselves on the international stage and add glory to China. For example, he was particularly generous to Olympic champions, and since Los Angeles 1984, he has awarded Chinese athletes $80,000 and 1 kilogram of pure gold medals. In Huo Yingdong's eyes, Xu Wangqiu, who won the highest award at the West Berlin Film Festival, also belongs to the figure who wins glory for the country, and is particularly enthusiastic about Xu Wangqiu, pulling him to shush him and ask for warmth.

After chatting for a while, Huo Yingdong got to the point: "I heard Xia Meng say, you have been doing a big business recently, and you urgently need funds, I don't know how much money you need?"

Xu Wangqiu said slowly: "I need dollars, I need eight million." ”

Huo Yingdong was a little surprised when he heard this, $8 million was nothing to him, but Xu Wangqiu was only a young man in his early 20s, and he dared to borrow so much money to do business, which was too bold. If it were someone else, Huo Yingdong would definitely feel that this matter was unreliable, but he knew Xia Meng better, and knew that Xia Meng was a very meticulous and cautious person, Xia Meng dared to introduce Xu Wangqiu to himself, this matter should have a spectrum, so he said: "Can you tell me, what business are you doing?"

Xu Wangqiu did not hide it, and told Huo Yingdong what he had said to Xia Meng. He assured Fok Yingdong that the money would be returned within two months, and it was with interest. At the time of return, in addition to the principal, interest of 2 cents per US dollar is paid. At the same time, he also explained how he would repay his debts if his business was at a loss.

Huo Yingdong knew that "Black Saturday" was made by the British, and he also knew what they wanted to do, and his opinion was the same as Xu Wangqiu's. There are not many people in the entire Xiangjiang who can see this, and those who dare to make a move at this time are extremely rare. Xu Wangqiu is only in his early twenties, but he has such vision and courage, which is really a bit incredible.

Huo Yingdong couldn't help but say, "Did you analyze it yourself, or did you hear it from others?"

Xu Wangqiu said lightly: "I analyzed it based on the various information I obtained. ”

Huo Yingdong stared at Xu Wangqiu and said slowly: "You revealed this news to me, aren't you afraid that I won't lend you money and invest the money in the market yourself?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled and said confidently: "I heard someone say that Mr. Huo has cooperated with many people, but only others have failed Mr. Huo, and Mr. Huo has never failed others. If Mr. Huo also intends to use this opportunity to make money, Mr. Huo will definitely lend me the money. However, I don't think Mr. Huo will invest the dollars in his hand, and even if he does, he will not invest a lot. ”

Huo Yingdong was stunned when he heard this: "Why?"

Xu Wangqiu explained with a smile: "Mr. Huo is a well-known pro-China person, if Mr. Huo makes a move, it may cause unnecessary speculation, and the British will think that the central government is using Mr. Huo's power to prevent the Hong Kong dollar from falling." In this way, the British may not make a move to stabilize the exchange rate, at least not in a hurry. A character like Mr. Huo won't be blind to this, and I don't think Mr. Huo will make a move. ”

Huo Yingdong looked at Xu Wangqiu dumbfounded, thinking that this kid is really a character, he can see the problem so thoroughly, and said with admiration in his eyes: "I have never seen a young man like you, your vision and courage are really extraordinary!"

Xu Wangqiu waved his hand and said modestly: "I'm just a mouthful, in front of Mr. Huo, I'm just the light of the moon." Like Mr. Huo, who stood firm under the suppression and blockade of the British, is a real hero. ”

Xia Meng is from Zuopai Film Company, and for a long time in the past, she has been in a state of suppression in Xiangjiang, and Fok Yingdong's situation is similar to her, because she is pro-mainland and has been suppressed by the British government in Hong Kong.

For example, in 1968, Fok Yingdong and Dong Haoyun joined hands to bid for Kwai Chung No. 1 to No. 4 container terminals, when the world's container terminals were just emerging, and Li Cucumber was far from entering the terminal industry. If he can win the dock, Huo Yingdong's business will go to a higher level. However, the British government in Hong Kong immediately intervened and demanded that Fok Yingdong guarantee that there must be 200,000 containers a year, otherwise he would be disqualified from building a wharf. But at that time, all the wharves in Xiangjiang did not add up to 200,000, which was obviously difficult. Huo Yingdong had no choice but to give up.

This is not the case, but it has happened many times. If it weren't for his patriotism and proximity to the mainland, Huo Yingdong would definitely be much richer than he is now, but he has never regretted it. Hearing Xu Wangqiu's words this time, he said calmly: "I just did what a Chinese should do, nothing great, not a hero." I have seen many young talents, but when it comes to vision and courage, none of them can compare with you. I think it's a shame for you to be a director, if you join the business world, the future is limitless. How, are you interested in coming out and doing business?"

Xia Meng and these filmmakers all regard Xu Wangqiu as the hope for the future of Chinese films, and when they heard that Huo Yingdong asked Xu Wangqiu to give up the movie, they were immediately unhappy: "Mr. Huo, don't harm Wangqiu." Wang Qiu is only 21 years old, and he is already the director of the art center of the film export company, and he is a department-level cadre. It can be said that the future is immeasurable, and it would be a pity to run out to do business. ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled at Huo Yingdong and said: "Movies are my hobby, and it is also a career that I am willing to fight for all my life." I'm not too interested in doing business. ”

Huo Yingdong chuckled and said, "Then how did you think of speculating on the exchange rate?"

Xu Wangqiu explained: "This is for the needs of the future development of Chinese films. In recent years, there have been many commercial blockbusters in the United States, such as "Star Wars". One of the characteristics of these films is that they combine high technology with film, such as the use of the latest computer graphics technology in movies to create amazing visual effects. Of course, because the technology is not yet mature, there are many flaws, and it has not reached the level of being fake. However, computer technology is developing rapidly and can be described as changing with each passing day. I think in a dozen years, computer graphics technology will mature. When the time comes, a lot of content that could not be filmed before, visual effects that could not be shown, will appear on the screen. When the time comes, there will be only one result, and that is that movies around the world will be beaten by Hollywood super blockbusters, and Hollywood movies will dominate the world. If Chinese films want to have a foothold in the world in the future, they must develop their own computer graphics technology and combine Chinese films with high technology. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Wangqiu sighed deeply: "But now that the country is short of money, even military spending and the scientific research funds of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are being cut on a large scale, and it is impossible to invest money in computer graphics technology." But if we don't do it, we will be thrown off by the Americans, and we will be in a position of being passively beaten in the cultural field. I couldn't find a better way, and the only thing I could think of was to find a way to make money on my own, and then put that money into the computer field to make sure we didn't get completely thrown out of technology. ”

Xia Meng thought that Xu Wangqiu took the money to make a lot of money by taking advantage of the exchange rate, but he didn't expect that he planned to use the money for the research and development of film technology. She was very moved in her heart, with such a young man here, why worry about the lack of Chinese movies!

Huo Yingdong didn't know anything about Xu Wangqiu, and he wasn't sure if Xu Wangqiu was telling the truth, so he asked him what he was going to do. If these were made up, then Xu Wangqiu would not have been able to have a detailed plan. If Xu Wangqiu can tell the plan, then what he said is true, he is trustworthy, and he can lend him the money.

Xu Wangqiu briefly talked about his plan and told Huo Yingdong that now Xu Wangchuan is recruiting employees to be trained by computer experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beiping, and the company will be officially operated by the end of the year. He was going to register a company in Heung Kong and transport computers and accessories to the mainland through Heung Kong. However, the Xiangjiang Company needs foreign exchange to buy computers and accessories, and Xu Wangqiu does not have it, so he plans to use this "Black Saturday" to earn enough foreign exchange.

After listening to Xu Wangqiu's introduction, Huo Yingdong no longer had any doubts, and said with satisfaction: "I originally wanted to persuade you that if you want to do business, you should do real things, don't speculate in stocks and foreign exchange, these are harmful things." The cake is so big and round, if you eat too much, others will not have it, and if there are winners, there will definitely be losers. After listening to your words, I know that you are doing practical things, and I will lend you money. ”

Xu Wangqiu saw that Huo Yingdong agreed to borrow money, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Huo." Your willingness to borrow money really helped me a lot. After two months, I will definitely pay you back the principal and interest. ”

In the next two days, Xia Meng's 2 million and Huo Yingdong's 8 million arrived one after another. After the money arrived, Xu Wangqiu converted the 10 million US dollars into Hong Kong dollars through a foreign exchange broker. After the outbreak of "Black Saturday", almost all institutions operating foreign exchange business in Hong Kong were frantically absorbing US dollars. After Xu Wangqiu's tens of millions of dollars were smashed in, it hardly caused any fluctuations, let alone attracted any attention.

After exchanging the US dollars in his hand into Hong Kong dollars, Xu Wangqiu didn't care about this matter anymore and concentrated on making movies. He knew that it would not be until mid-October, when the British really understood the situation, that the linked exchange rate system would be reintroduced.

On October 15th, Xu Wangqiu, as usual, took all the crew members to film at the scene. What is going to be filmed on this day is the scene where Zheng Yi discovers the murderer who killed his parents and starts a pursuit. Among them, the chase shot Xu Wangqiu was ready to shoot it in one shot to the end, and the process of Zheng Yi starting to chase and finally forcing the enemy into a corner was filmed in one shot.

Since it is a one-shot shot, there must not be any mistakes in the shooting process, otherwise it will have to be retaken. To shoot such a shot, it must be carefully planned, rehearsed and moved repeatedly, and finally it will be possible. Xu Wangqiu: Their long lens is even more difficult to shoot than ordinary long shots. In addition to the large number of people and the difficulty of scheduling, the photographer must carry the camera and run after the actors. It is a huge test for both the actor and the photographer.

Xu Wangqiu plans to spend three to four days moving and rehearsing, and wait until everyone is ripe before officially starting filming. On this morning, as soon as Xu Wangqiu arrived on the set, he began to direct the actors, extras, and photographer Zhang Yimou to move. It was busy until near noon, and the work was properly arranged.

At this moment, Xia Meng walked over like a gust of wind, looking a little excited. Before she could get to Xu Wangqiu's side, she excitedly shouted: "Wangqiu! The Hong Kong government just announced the resumption of the linked exchange rate system!"
