Chapter 589: I'm Just a Guest

"Hello Gu Sheng, I am honored to be received by you, and the contempt is Zhu Guoming, the editor-in-chief of the South China Morning Post. Today, hearing about the details of Gu Sheng's charity and environmental protection is really inspiring to my generation.

It is no wonder that Boss Yang has repeatedly praised Gu Sheng as the most socially responsible developer in Xiangjiang, and only when Gu Sheng participates in the newly approved development zone of the two administrations, will the citizens feel at ease and will not boycott ......"

Gu Biao sat on the sofa, holding the absinthe special for literati salon gatherings, listening to the bunch of uninvited guests in front of him introduce themselves and tout his deeds.

Gu Biao didn't take it to heart at all.

These people don't seem to be the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, but the person in charge of a decent magazine in Xiangjiang.

The South China Morning Post is a well-known media in the Hong Kong press industry, but it is limited to the English press and is intended for people who know foreign languages. The low-level citizens of Xiangjiang basically won't buy it.

As for the others, Gu Biao hadn't heard much of it.

He only knows that these people are the spokespersons of Boss Hutchison Li, Boss Zheng of New World and others in some cases - the major real estate and luxury families also have mouthpieces in the press, and today Gu Biao is engaged in a literati collection, and those rich businessmen outside the circle are embarrassed to come uninvited in person, so they let their mouthpieces give gifts.

The praise and rhetoric that these people just now were obviously not prepared before they came, but after they came in just now, they saw many real writers commenting on the photos, articles, and documentaries that Xiao Sui took out, so they temporarily added some drama. In this way, even if Gu Biao receives the gift, it will not be too ugly.

Listen, the public regards Gu Sheng as "the most socially responsible developer in the city, and attaches the most importance to charity and environmental protection".

Therefore, Gu Biao made a building in the newly acquired planning area of Yang Lizheng and other families, mixed sand to make a small project, and shared a piece of profit, which was not because Gu Biao loved money, but because he used the reputation of Gu Dashan to eliminate the doubts and resistance of the citizens and enhance social harmony.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the citizens really think so now.

Anyway, at this moment, all the literati mouthpieces in this literary salon are conventionally thinking so, and at the same time, by extension, the citizens also think so, just do it.

It's okay to get by.

The follow-up made the citizens really think so, isn't it the responsibility of these mouthpieces to help Gu Biao advocate and promote his reputation. If the citizens don't need to be persuaded to be convinced, why do they still raise these mouthpieces.

Gu Biao also humbly said that he would choose another time and place to discuss in detail. Later, they also successively developed plots from the follow-up Daguling development plots of major real estate families, and each of them was mixed with a share.

There is not much money, each of which is hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in capital, and the project is relatively high-quality, which belongs to the kind of conscientious project that does it in three years, makes at least half of the profits, and doubles it in five years.

Gu Biao still has a little spare money, so let his investment advisers and legal counsel review it and participate in a share.

……

A literati gathering ends in a harmonious atmosphere.

Beginning the next day, the media and newspapers in Xiangjiang began to follow up and report on Gu Ao's charity in the northwest one after another. The writing is not deliberate, but at least it can ensure that the citizens are mentally prepared and can see it.

A few days later, TVB and ATV people also began to take materials from the photography and documentaries that Xiao Sui took selfies, and advocated Gu Biao's spending money on afforestation in the mainland to eliminate the desert. ATV's people also spent 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in a high-profile manner to buy the broadcast rights of Xiao Sui's self-made documentary with no artistic attainments -

It's not a buyout, it's just a buy-out of the right to play. That is to say, after buying, ATV can put it unlimitedly, but Xiao Sui can also sell it to others.

This is a typical show of favor to Gu Ao's energy, otherwise everyone in the circle knows that Xiao Sui can only write bestsellers, her literary works are valuable, and documentaries are just learned to play by herself, so they can't be taken seriously.

Since the Hong Kong media have reported it, some of the mainland print media that do not know the truth will also follow suit. It was first imitated from the Special Economic Zone and Guangdong, and then gradually spread northward, and many newspapers reported Gu Biao's good deeds-

It's just that none of these mainland media know that Gu Biao has been doing good deeds for almost a year in silence, and he is suddenly being followed up and reported by a high-profile person at this moment, just because he made a casual move and unfathomably stirred up the top management of Toshiba Group, so the rich people in Xiangjiang and the media praised Gu Biao out of awe.

Therefore, this wave of follow-up in the mainland is completely blind and blind without knowing why.

Gu Biao's reputation is already very big, and it is not bad, but the people around him care relatively much.

In this wave of media operations, in addition to Gu Biao himself, Xiao Sui who benefited the most was naturally the most. She was just a best-selling author who published a book and sold hundreds of thousands of copies on average, including pirated copies.

By the 21st century, hundreds of thousands of copies are already international super-bestsellers, and millions of them are almost uncommon, but that's because the paper medium has declined, and everyone reads them electronically. The '80s were the golden age of print media, when the circulation of all books and newspapers was many times higher than that of later generations.

Therefore, today's million-level writers are not at the level of the creation god, and they only earn hundreds of thousands of dollars for a few cents or even a few cents of a volume. The total amount of piracy of Mr. Cha's martial arts over the years is estimated to be more than 100 million, of course, it is only an estimate, and it is impossible to collect evidence statistics in detail. The most popular items such as "Shooting the Condor" and "Dragon Babu" may each sell more than 20 million sets if you count pirated versions. (Most of the 14 are relatively unwatched, which is also in line with the head aggregation effect, Lian, Bai, Shu, Xia, and Mandarin Mandarin are many of them that can't be sold for millions.) )

Therefore, if you compare Mr. Cha, a reference that everyone knows, you will know that before this time, although Xiao Sui was a little famous in the mainland literary and artistic circles, she was nothing at the level of the general public, and only some literary and artistic youths would buy her books. In terms of sales, it is the "1% of Mr. Cha".

How much of this 1% sales is because her creative content can't be grabbed by other writers, she can tell some anecdotes about Gu Biao close to the water, and she is noticed by poor readers who want to spy on the rich, so she buys her books - this is also impossible to count.

However, after this time, Xiao Sui's new book, which had just won the Contradictory Literature Award, sold a lot, and it is optimistically estimated that it can sell more than 500,000 copies nationwide (this is a stream-of-consciousness literary work, which is not intended for people to read, so it should sell much less than Xiao Sui's original works that are rushing to sell well).

In the four years since the award was created, it is the only one that has achieved a bumper harvest in the circle and sales - fortunately, she sold well after winning the award, so she was not despised by the academy. If she sells well before she wins the award, she may not win the award, because in the evaluation criteria of top literary awards, best-selling is an original sin.

In addition to the harvest in the literary world, Xiao Sui's character as a "beautiful writer" also let the public see some other elements, such as "This beautiful screenwriter turned out to be a photographer herself, and she also took charge of a positive documentary".

This more or less makes Xiao Sui's public image fuller, and it also makes her relationship with Gu Biao look less utilitarian - it's a bit like when Hou Peicheng and Zhou Jielun dated in later generations, she was the least black, after all, she is an intellectual female reporter and female anchor, because of the process of interviewing and eulogizing the deeds of Chou Dong, she naturally has some mutual affection.

Gu Biao's status in the rivers and lakes is naturally ten times and a hundred times higher than that of Dong Chou, so the pressure on the women around him is also very great, and they all need to pay attention to their own paths, and even pay attention to creating an explanation of "how did I fall in love with Gu Biao in the first place", so as not to be attacked by hundreds of millions of jealous girls for "He De He can, he is not in the right position".

……

In this way, Gu Biao feasted guests in Gu Yuan in Baijiadao every day, accepted the media's advocacy, and ushered in the legitimate interests sent to all parties, and worked together until more than half of December.

Christmas is less than ten days away, and since Gu Biao plans to go to France this Christmas, he can take a break, and by the way, he will inspect his business in Monaco and make some contacts.

Therefore, he also asked his secretary Li Xiaotong to help arrange the itinerary early. In addition, he also informed Mina in advance that Mina, who was in Moscow, would go to France for Christmas in a few days.

Gu Biao has not bought his own private jet so far, so he still takes a civil aviation plane, which is nothing more than a charter flight, and the package is a Gulfstream 350 jointly produced by Germany and France.

Although he already has real fixed assets of two or three billion US dollars, it is said that it is not difficult to buy an airplane, and the 12 seats of the Gulfstream level in the 80s only cost a few million dollars, even if it is 24 or more, it will break 10 million.

Perhaps, it is because Gu Biao feels that his business has not officially returned to the mainland market at present, and it is a bit too high-profile to buy a private plane directly, and it is inconvenient for him to communicate with various business authorities in the mainland in the future, resulting in a difficult situation for the other party. After all, he is also a yellow-skinned person, and it is difficult for the Chinese to accept that yellow-skinned businessmen have their own planes.

Wait another year at most, and when Gu Biao's game consoles, CD players, and film and television assets return to the mainland market next year and gain legal exposure, he will naturally complete these convenient necessities one after another (of course, in the eyes of others, these may not be necessities, but luxuries).

Everything was ready, just two days before Gu Biao was about to set off, on the sidelines of a routine drinking party, a wave of uninvited guests from the mainland found Gu Biao, hoping that Gu Biao could make arrangements to take old friends to France together.

This made Gu Biao really a little surprised.

The visitor was Lieutenant Colonel Zhang, an old friend of Gu Biao when he was in Iraq, and after a little chat with him, he knew that he had inquired about Gu Biao's whereabouts in France through work relations from Mina.

Gu Biao couldn't help but be a little cautious: "Brother Zhong, what are you going to do with someone going to France? This time I am completely a private matter, and I am also a guest of the Monegasque, so I can't do anything." ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
