June 10, Xiangjiang.

In Sham Shui Po in the early morning, Liang Jiahui got up at four o'clock and personally drove his small pickup truck out.

He first went to the Kwu Tung and Fanling areas in the northern New Territories to find a market for wholesale fresh meat and vegetables from the Mainland, and buy a batch of ingredients to be used that day. On the way back, stop at the pier seafood market near Sham Shui Po for some eastern star groupers and oysters.

In fact, the land in Xiangjiang is not as fully developed as the mainlanders imagined. By the 80s, only a quarter of the land was urbanized by land area. Three-quarters of the remaining rural farms, forests, parks, and protected areas are located.

Even in the 2010s, the urbanization rate of land barely exceeded 30%. On the other hand, the people of Xiangjiang are facing huge housing prices. All this, it is said that the first is because of the obstruction of environmental protectionists, and the second is that the expansion of "Ding Quan" has led to the difficulty of demolition and relocation.

However, in fact, although the people of Xiangjiang have always had "ding power" in history, there is a process of expansion in their legal scale. A lot of extra details were given to the people of Xiangjiang in the 80s when the Bretanians knew that this place could not be held, so they desperately tried to be good people and distribute them to the rural people of Xiangjiang. It's not theirs anyway, so it's not distressing to disperse.

It's a bit far, and about the development of Xiangjiang, I need to talk about it in detail in the future. What's more, now that there is the butterfly effect and Mina's top-secret internal contributions, the space consumed by the Bretanians has been compressed, so why bother with "how it should have been".

This is nothing more than an explanation that there is no shortage of farmland in Xiangjiang today, and several percent of the agricultural and sideline products that citizens eat daily are provided by local farmers themselves, and the rest are purchased from the special zone on the other side of the river. The seafood is basically self-sufficient.

However, if you want the freshest and most special meat vegetables, it is better to rush to the North New Territories early in the morning and carefully select the ingredients from the mainland.

Liang Jiahui's life has been up and down, from winning the Best Actor at the Xiangjiang Academy Awards, to being banned by a dismissal notice and opening a tea restaurant instead, it has been three months.

Experiencing the peak and the bottom in three months is a great sharpening of people's hearts - of course, no matter how much they are sharpened, they are not as sharpened as three years of stalls in history.

Today, he knows that he has a lot of distinguished guests to entertain, so he must not slack off.

After a circle, it was almost 6 o'clock in the morning when he returned to the store, and he hurriedly handed over to the chef in the store, and then personally helped prepare together.

The chef in the store was invited from a five-star hotel in Mong Kok next to him, but he could only be a dim sum chef in a five-star hotel.

It seems a bit risky to have a pastry chef cook big dishes part-time, but you can only bite the bullet.

It's just that Boss Gu wants to invite tycoons from all walks of life / to have afternoon tea here.

I believe that everyone will not expect to come to Gu Biao to eat enough, they must have a meal at home in advance, and then come to talk about things.

Liang Jiahui cleaned up the ingredients for a while, and then remembered that when he came back from pulling the ingredients just now, he forgot to close the store, so he quickly scrubbed his hands and went back to the front store to close.

Today, if you want to entertain big people and charter a venue, of course, you won't be open to the public again.

However, when he walked back to the front, he saw that there was already a little girl sitting at the table facing the door. Apparently he had just forgotten to close the door and came in.

"Miss is very sorry, our store was wrapped up today and is not open to the public. Or I have a ticket for the tea restaurant across the street, you can go there and have morning tea...... "He didn't want to offend anyone, and he spoke very politely and fluently.

But the girl turned her head suddenly, and he realized that he had misunderstood, because he knew this little girl, and it was Li Youtong who he had met when he was filming in Qiantang at the beginning of the year.

The crew of "Shooting the Condor" was filmed around the end of the year, and the crew of "Condor" was filmed behind it, and the two sides had a short intersection at that time.

Moreover, Liang Jiahui and Andy Lau, the male protagonist of "The Condor", were classmates in the acting class that year, and they often moved around when they were filming and resting in the mainland.

Li Youtong said sincerely: "Uncle Liang is me, I also want to thank Gu Sheng today, but he didn't ask me - I'll help you, it's okay to run the hall and serve the food." ”

Liang Jiahui was a little surprised: "What do you say to him? You were also banned, and he promoted you to make a new film?"

It is really not a good feeling to be called an uncle before the age of 30, but Liang Jiahui also understands that Li Xiaotong is trying to avoid suspicion and keep a distance, so he wants to separate the generations, and in fact, the difference between the two is 10 years old.

"No, they are conscientious employers, and they still care about my sequelae, pay for my surgery, and greet me through my agent, saying that if I can't act in the future, I can be given a job when I graduate. Li Xiaotong was young and had no scheming, and he felt that Uncle Liang was about the same level of difficulty as himself, so he told the cause and effect.

"Gu Sheng is really a righteous person. Liang Jiahui was also emotionally moved when he heard it, and then he became more confident in life.

"He came here this time, there must be a way to cover us, I bet with Andy right. Thinking about it now, I am really grateful that after Fa Ge became popular, I was afraid of Wanwan's ban, and hesitated, otherwise I would get a newcomer like me and Andy to work for Gu Sheng. ”

"Then Uncle Liang, did you promise me to help you run the hall?" asked Li Wantong stubbornly.

Liang Jiahui smiled self-deprecatingly: "You are still entangled in this matter, I didn't say anything just now and acquiesced - after a while, you just don't do anything else, just pour tea for Gu Sheng, and I will leave it to you." I can really use you as a trick to call people. ”

Li Xiaotong finally smiled a little slyly: "Thank you, Uncle Liang, in fact, I am very diligent, I will help you make tea first." ”

"You don't need to make tea, you don't have to open the table until noon, and you drink snake soup. ”

……

At about half past eleven o'clock in the morning, Gu Biao was alone, escorted by bodyguards, and Shi Shiran rushed to this tea restaurant.

The other guests came earlier than him.

Even Sir Shao, who was nearly eighty years old, arrived 10 minutes earlier than Gu Biao's scheduled time, and Gu Biao only came 5 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.

This still made Gu Biao a little surprised. Although he is proud of the business world, he basically still has the demeanor of respecting the old and the virtuous, and he really didn't expect Sir Shao to come so early.

"Uncle Sixth is so polite to give face like this, how to be restrained. As soon as they met, Gu Biao didn't care about the others, and directly apologized to Sir Shao.

"It should be, it should be, Gu Sheng is winning glory for us Chinese." "Jazz doesn't rely on the old and sell the old.

Today, most of the top figures in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry are in unison, which is the most different point from usual.

In previous years, Gu Biao came to Xiangjiang and also convened people from the rivers and lakes to participate in the grand event, but only people from the wireless department would come to support because of the cooperative relationship and the interest in high-level diplomacy.

And the Golden Princess/New Art City, which is held by Kowloon Jianye, or Golden Harvest, which has been fighting fiercely with the Shaw Brothers for many years, generally does not need to give Gu Biao face.

In the 80s, the Xiangjiang film and television media industry was ranked among the top three forces, namely Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Kowloon Jianye, which could be regarded as the top three.

Although there are also hot money in the shipping, construction, and resource industries that cross the circle to the entertainment industry, they are not in the climate, or they are only temporarily rich, but they have no lasting influence.

It is similar to the nature of those coal bosses in later generations who just want to find female stars to sleep and shoot one or two film and television dramas.

As for the last time Gu Biao cleaned up Kong traitors, although he also had a party with many wealthy businessmen, the grade was high enough. But those wealthy businessmen belong to all walks of life, not to the media.

But in today's scene, the big financier behind the Golden Princess/New Art City, Boss Lei, who is both white and black, and the two big bosses of the Jiahe Department, Boss Zou and Boss He, all came to Liang Jiahui's seemingly simple tea restaurant to accompany Gu Biao to drink afternoon tea and chat.

This degree of face-saving is unprecedented. This is all about the appeal of the rivers and lakes brought by the Oscar statuette, which is similar to the token of the martial arts alliance leader.

After a polite greeting in the venue, everyone picked up the tea bowl and congratulated playfully:

"I still want to belatedly congratulate "The Last Emperor" for winning seven Oscars, including Best Picture. ”

"Although it was two months late, Gu Sheng is really a nobleman, and he didn't come to Xiangjiang for two months after winning the award, and I have nowhere to do it. ”

All the guests were almost unanimous.

Among them, Boss Lei, who was originally in a situation where he and Gu Biao were both in "need to dig up the rising rookies in the Xiangjiang film industry for their own use", and had a subtle and tense relationship with Gu Biao, even made a declaration without scruples:

"Gu Sheng doesn't have to worry about the ban of the Wanwan people, if there is a project in the mainland, it is useful to get the Golden Princess and the people of Xinyicheng, even if you open your mouth, we are not afraid of the ban of Wanwan. Gu Sheng fought for us Chinese, which should be supported. ”

Boss Lei was born in black and white, after all, in Xiangjiang to engage in local logistics, land acquisition and development, it is indispensable to the power of gangs, otherwise you can't even solve the nail household or road rage. So although he is now whiter, he still speaks with a bit of rudeness.

However, when his words were heard in the ears of Boss Zou and Boss He of Golden Harvest, he couldn't help but want to laugh: It is obviously the power of the Kowloon Construction Department, which cannot be promoted in Wanwan, and there is no strategic alliance of Wanwan cooperative cinemas, so he is so barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and he is generous in vain.

However, this trick Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest cannot be easily learned, they have a good market foundation in Wanwan, and their families are big, so they can't work against the singleton mentality of one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry.

However, today, the Jiahe Department is obviously also prepared, and wants to get married.

Taking advantage of the growing atmosphere of the tea party and everyone chatting, Boss He of Jiahe got up and led a middle-aged man to Gu Ao's side.

"Gu Sheng, in my opinion, with your status in the circle, you should set up your own production company and brokerage company in Xiangjiang, why do you always cooperate with Shaw Brothers and don't have your own complete team. ”

"Eh, I am cautious about this, I am not here, some things are just easy to do, and I have never wanted to grab any business with Uncle Six or you Jiahe. Besides, I don't have the right identity right now. Gu Biao's words were not leaky.

However, the other party seems to have done his homework, knowing that Gu Biao does not plan to open a production company, but just wants to delay for half a year and wait for him to remove all his public duties.

After all, Gu Biao doesn't have any first-party productions to invest in urgently.

Therefore, Boss He said very artistically: "Gu Sheng's status is precious, he is not suitable for showing up in person, and there is no one to run it, so why is it difficult." He Mou introduces you to a friend today, who is definitely a saint in the media industry, and if Gu Sheng is generous, it is a good thing to sponsor him to tide over the difficulties. It's really not good, and it's an honor to let him do things for you. ”
