With Gu Biao's own strength, even if he gets the opportunity to talk to billions or even tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars such as Sir Shao and the charter king, it is estimated that there will be no more polite words.

But if you can do what you like and know some high-level secret policy trends in the mainland that Sir Shao and the charter king are interested in, then the nature will be completely different.

Even if Gu Biao is just a small businessman, he can be used by them as a temporary "guest".

That's a breaking point.

In Xiangjiang in 79 years, when it comes to the merchant's Jianghu coffee position, the biggest names are Huo Ye and the charter king. Because the 70~80s is the most golden dividend period in the global shipping industry, there are 20 million tons of container ships and many port authorities around the world under the name of the charter king.

In his previous life, when Gu Biao was just in junior high school, he caught up with the return of Xiangjiang, and the "famous Xiangjiang businessman" written in their extracurricular history literacy book only had the names of the charter boat king and the chief executive Dong, which can be seen as the charter boat king

Even the real estate Li family is now not so big because the house price has not risen high enough. As for Sir Shao, just because of his status as a media boss, he is relatively well-known, but in terms of money, he is one digit less than Huo Ye and the charter king.

Therefore, seeing that the charter boat king was so interested in Gu Biao, Sir Shao was also willing to accompany him and listen to Gu Biao's swing of the dragon gate array.

The focus of the chat between the two was the later famous 414 opening incident.

The 414 Guest House in Hujiang, which later became the Xijiao State Guest House, was still a special service at that time and was not open to the public. It is the head of the head who comes to Hujiang for a meeting to live**.

In mid-July, Deng Weiren came to Hujiang to escape the summer, and felt that it was not good to have such privileges, so he gave the director of the Hujiang Municipal Tourism Bureau an order: give you half a year to open all the hotels, including 414, into hotels for foreign guests. There should be no more waste of so much money on maintenance, but only the head of the central government lives for a few days a year.

But in June, when the first wharf of Taicang Port was completed, the charter boat king went back to Hujiang, and asked Mayor Peng to donate money to build a state-owned foreign-related hotel, but Mayor Peng refused.

So in fact, if he had been two months late and waited for Deng Weiren to let go of the conversation before asking, maybe this matter would have been done directly.

The inside story of the high-level decision-making in this, of course, it is impossible for the charter king to know.

But Gu Biao came prepared, and they were about to be reorganized to the Foreign Investment Commission, so they could transfer all the historical records and contextual documents related to the foreign investment policy. Even if the chief has spoken or expressed any sentence, you can find out.

Although the secret level of these things may not be open to Gu Biao, before Gu Biao wants to come to Xiangjiang to do business, he can definitely see the relevant historical contact records of Hong Kong businessmen, and even the follow-up internal decision-making.

So when I chatted with the charter king, I talked endlessly and looked very sure.

……

"It turns out that there is such a big misunderstanding here, he is just waiting for instructions! Then Mayor Peng should tell me directly after the turnaround! What is there to be embarrassed about!"

After the charter king found out about the misunderstanding, he complained very arrogantly.

"It may be that Mayor Peng thinks that you have taken the initiative to give money for nothing, but he refused, so I am embarrassed to talk to you again. Or maybe it doesn't work. Gu Biao explained with a smile.

"Then Gu Shao, can you help me tell Mayor Peng after you return to China?" The charter king is accustomed to the fast pace of capital's attention, and he doesn't feel that there is any procedural hypocrisy in this at all.

Gu Biao was embarrassed: "This is not good, if you don't have to wait for two months, the 414 external business period is January next year, the pilot over there is successful, if you don't change your mind, I guarantee that you will definitely get your wish, no one in the world will donate money in vain."

However, Uncle Bao, I think you should not let go too much, after the completion of the property rights can be donated to the state, the construction process should still be supervised in your way, otherwise this thing may not be possible - Baosteel has been built for a year, and the use of some foreign capital in the process is extravagant and wasteful, and there is also a public review of it. There is still a lack of experience in managing big money in China. ”

Gu Biao's proposal was very pertinent, and he immediately put himself in the role of giving advice to the charter king, and won the favor of the other party.

Gu Biao didn't know that his words to eliminate misunderstandings had changed history.

Originally, because of this misunderstanding, the charter boat king was too lazy to stick his hot face to his cold ass many times. It was only after Huo Ye and Director Liao discussed with Director Liao that the White Swan Hotel in Yuezhou was finalized, and he re-mentioned the matter of donating funds to build the hotel with the later mayor of Hujiang.

In the end, among the first batch of eight joint venture foreign affairs hotels in the country after the reopening, the Huating in Hujiang was not only later than the White Swan in Guangdong and the Lido in Beijing, but even later than the Jinling Hotel, which opened in 84 years.

Now, Gu Biao just mentioned it casually, but let the people of Hujiang overtake the car - Huo Ye's white swan is a joint venture, so it involves sensitive land policies, and at that time promised not to occupy the land in Guangdong, but to drive piles to fill the river and make land, so the construction progress is very slow.

However, the entrenchment of the charter boat king is a pure donation, and there is no hotel property right, so there is no land problem: because the policy at that time only did not allow the land to be occupied by the capitalists, but absolutely supported the land to be occupied by state-owned units, or that urban land should naturally belong to the state.

There was no need to reclaim the land, and the construction speed was naturally fast, and it was opened in the last 82 years.

Of course, this was not Gu Biao's original intention.

The project of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars was just used by him to almost pick up a conversation, and he accidentally facilitated it, and he personally did not get any benefits.

Seeing Gu Biao talking and laughing like this, Sir Shao and the charter king were so interested, and the other drinkers around naturally gathered around, wanting to secretly observe what they were talking about.

Sir Shao also asked about Gu Biao's entertainment business, first asked about the industry prospects of game consoles, and then naturally pulled back to film and television.

I heard that Gu Biao has advertising cooperation with many entrepreneurs in Xiangjiang, and has also introduced overseas copyrights to broadcast in the mainland, combined with the energy that Gu Biao showed just now, Sir Shao finally came up with the idea of really examining Gu Biao from the perspective of career cooperation.

The high-ranking officials he knew in the mainland were much bigger than Gu Weiguan's.

But Sir Shao has never encountered any of the copyrights that can really introduce Hong Kong and Macao copyrights into the mainland to sell.

The main reason is that at present, no one in the mainland knows how this kind of business works, and there is no choice at all.

"Oh, it turns out that Gu Shao has a deep cooperative relationship with Hujiang Factory, one of the three major studios in China?

Gu Biao smiled modestly: "I don't dare to be, it's just a normal channel for review - oh, by the way, my female companion, Miss Xiao, her father is from the provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and her mother is also a star of Hujiang Factory, and she is also familiar with the production director over there." ”

"I see, then we can really cooperate. Sir Shao nodded, glanced to the side, and a woman in her forties, who had been waiting there with a smile, walked over.

That is his concubine Fang Hua, who now helps him manage the daily affairs of the film company and TVB, so when it comes to specific topics in the entertainment industry, Sir Shao, who is old and energetic, will ask his concubine to help him check and talk.

For this matter, he has also faced a lot of family crises recently - Sir Shao only has two sons, both of whom were born to his wife. But after he handed over the standing work of the film and television company to the concubine, his sons thought that he was going to leave the family property to his "aunt", turned against him, and just announced the severance of the father-son relationship.

And those bits and pieces that Gu Biao said in one breath just now, Sir Shao just swept his ears, and saw from experience that there were not many really valuable upper-level relationships, so he asked Fang Hua to identify Xiao Sui's quality.

Gu Biao saw that the other party didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so he could only be more aggressive.

He gave Xiao Sui a look.

Xiao Sui had just chatted with Fang Hua for a few words and said something about what the insiders had seen, so he casually took out a few thin pages of manuscript paper from his handbag.

That was the outline of the script of "Shanghai River Beach". Because the script itself has tens of thousands of words, more than 100 pages, it is too thick to be taken to a cocktail party. A few pages of thin outlines are just fine.

Xiao Sui pretended to be a little innocent and seemed to be very chatty with Fang Hua, and asked: "Aunt Fang, what we talked about just now was about my family, and I am a screenwriter by profession." I heard that you are the executive director of TVB, this is our script in the mainland, you don't dislike to help to see, is there too much lag behind the compatriots in Xiangjiang in terms of aesthetics. ”

"What did you write?" Fang Hua confirmed with an inquiring look.

"I wrote it. ”

"That's really not easy, it's a beautiful writer, Gu Shao is really a blessing, no wonder I praise you. The sixth brother also thought I was talented back then and praised me. Fang Hua was not ashamed of calling himself a concubine at all.

But it may also be that she is too human, in order to give Sir Shao face in front of people, so that Sir Shao has personality charm and can attract women to die regardless of fame, so she deliberately lowers her posture on crowded occasions.

For a moment, Xiao Sui's expression was a little stiff, but she knew that she was acting, so she held back and tried her best to imitate Fang Hua's expression of "regardless of fame, just seeking favor".

However, Fang Hua only watched "Hujiang Beach" for a while, and felt that Xiao Sui was really a bit dry.

It is not at all like the contemporaries of mainland writers with no commercial vision.

She first asked Sir Shao with her eyes, and Sir Shao also gave a look back, and then Fang Hua asked, "Do you have a script?"

The script itself is good, it can only be said to be a stepping stone, and TVB's good scripts are rotten in many warehouses. But if a script that is okay with the truth, and at the same time there is a new force behind it that can be cooperated, then it is worth taking it seriously a little.

"Oh, take it with you in the car, my sister, I like to create anytime and anywhere, and the manuscript is lost in the car. Gu Biao explained decently, and then naturally there was a waiter to get it.

Sir Shao's expression when he looked at Gu Wei changed slightly.

"It's rare that everyone has a common interest - Uncle Shao, in fact, I don't want to just do copyright flipping business, I wonder if you are interested in going back to the mainland to shoot a film?"

"Business is business, and TV dramas are still important to control costs. "Unexpectedly, Sir Shao is very business-like, and he is not willing to confuse friendship with cost control.

"That's true, but as long as you have the intention, everything else is easy to talk about. To tell you the truth, I really want to praise Sister Xiao, money is not a problem. When you are young, the profits are spent. If Uncle Shao is interested, I can bear part of the extra costs.

I don't want to take a stake in the overall copyright, but if you see how much the copyright of this film is worth in the mainland, I'll vote. Hong Kong, Macau, Bay and overseas, all of them are still Uncle Shao. If you think I'm a friend worth befriending......"

"You can talk to Ah Hua about this, I'm old, and my brain can't move. ”

Gu Biao tried a few more words, but he knew that he couldn't talk deeply, and he was too impatient.

Since the other party has left a first-line cooperation opportunity, the remaining additional conditions can be added slowly.

What's more, Gu Biao noticed a bunch of blonde and blue-eyed Britons and noticed the movement here.

"Sir Shao, this young guest is ...... I see you're having a great time. "The person who came spoke English.

Sir Shao replied fluently in English: "Oh, Maadow, what a lack of company." This Gu Shao is a copyright dealer from the mainland, don't look young, other people's entertainment products have opened up the market in Yueben, and he is really the first person who dares to eat crabs. Now they dare to come to talk to me about co-production, and they say that they need a lot of investment if they want to do it, and if they want to do it, they will do the best ...... in Asia."

"Hello McDow, good luck. I think the entertainment industry in Hong Kong is very worthy of my learning, because it is because of the good governance of Madu in the past ten years that the related industries can be so prosperous. As soon as Sir Shao finished speaking, he accosted McTuck directly in more fluent English, and even his accent was very much in line with McDow's Scottish flavor.

"Mr. Gu's English is very good, and there are few people in the mainland who have undergone such professional training. Maadhu was amazed.

"I used to be trained as a diplomat, but when the country's economy opened up, my family collapsed a little bit and was hidden in the snow. The career is hopeless, and it is better to focus on business. Catch the mouse, it's good. Between the lines, Gu Biao brewed an atmosphere of great envy of the corrupt and degenerate lifestyle of the West. (It is the "atmosphere" translated from the word ethos, not only the Chinese word itself)

Nowadays, people in China want to say that he is a bad person by nature, so when he comes outside, he can't be deceived by ghosts.

But if they are envious of the Anglo-American way of life, there are many who believe. It's a bit like East Germany going to West Germany to deceive and bury moles, one burying one accurate.

The reason why it is accurate is because in addition to the fraudulent surrender, there is also more than ten times the real surrender, and people are really risking their lives to cross Berlin Wall.

McDou chatted with Gu Biao a little bit, and knew that Gu Biao wanted to talk to Sir Shao about the possibility of co-production between the two places. He didn't care either, and just left.

However, after McDu's departure, there will naturally be other Britons who are in charge of specific work who will come to inspect Gu Ao's quality.

An Englishman with a somewhat gloomy expression, but who quickly returned to normal, came over to show goodwill: "Mr. Gu, I am Wilson of the 51st Brigade, captain. I heard that you like our lifestyle in Xiangjiang, are you interested in betting on horses?"

The British garrison was dominated by Nepalese mountain soldiers, but there was also a brigade of Scottish native soldiers. The brigade commander is generally a lieutenant colonel, so the captain is only a mid-to-junior officer, and possibly an intelligence officer.

Gu Biao is a "small role", and he is not suspicious, and he is not worthy of the other party to send a big man to tempt, so it is just a routine.

"I don't have much interest in gambling, if I want to gamble, I have to bet on what I can control, how can I let my fate be in the hands of others. ”

"That's better, there's no gambling tomorrow, Happy Valley is closed. After running the horse, you can also go to two rounds of golf. ”

Captain Wilson secretly thought: If the mainland officials want to get the skin of a rich businessman to do something unspeakable, with the current poverty on the other side, a game of golf can be seen to be Xibei's goods.
