Chapter 172: Shocking the Minister of Finance
The main purpose of Chuan Kita Changzheng's visit to Xiangjiang this time was not to visit friends, he was not so idle, and he deliberately dropped here on the way back.
Its main task was to be commissioned by Dongbao to inspect the film market in Hong Kong.
In order to see if there is a need to open up this market in the future.
Of course, Yang Qiu couldn't say anything about the planning strategy of a large company, but fortunately, Chuan Xiduo Changzheng didn't care much about it, and accompanied by Zhang Shankun, several of them investigated all the way.
And Yang Qiu also did his own thing wholeheartedly.
The most important thing is to find a faΓ§ade for the company first.
Of course, it's not the set that is still under construction on Axe Mountain Road.
Axe Hill Road is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is good to build a semi-self-sufficient set, but as a faΓ§ade of a company, it is obviously not good to use it for outreach.
It is best to choose a place where business is very developed.
For example, Milton said.
"Come on, Brother Yang, look, in front of this, it is the military camp of the ghost guys, and there is no law and order. Hu Jinkang pulled Yang Qiu to the window, pointed to a two-story building hidden in the lush woods across the street, and then pointed to the north and said: "Next to it, there is the Cathedral of St. Andrew, and the scenery is also first-class." β
"Also, I don't need to go into detail about the Milton Road below. β
Yang Qiu looked at Hu Jinkang's enthusiastic posture, and immediately smiled: "Brother Hu, you don't own a share of this house, why are you so enthusiastic?"
"Ha, as long as you really rent here, we will be neighbors in the future, what's wrong with being enthusiastic, everyone watches and helps each other. Hu Jinkang replied with a smile.
"After that, I'm afraid that there will really be a war between the eight countries here. β
"Haha-"
Yang Qiu and Hu Jinkang were standing in an empty office on the fourth floor of the Legong Building. The office room is not very large, and it looks like it is about 1,000 feet.
Of course, as an external faΓ§ade of a company, it is obviously enough.
As for the center of Golden Harvest, it will definitely be on the set in the future.
But why did Yang Qiu call the Eight Kingdoms Chaos War here?
In fact, when Yang Qiu released "The Woman and the Tiger" in Taishan before, he came to the fourth floor of the Le Palace Building and found Ouerde of the Cathay Pacific Agency next door to publish it.
Then, he was severely pitted.
The Shaw Brothers and their office is next to Cathay Pacific, so that there are two film studios on the fourth floor, and across the street from Shaw Brothers is an Asian film company with a background in American aid.
As for the past of Asia Pictures, near the elevator entrance, there is Hu Jinkang's own United Pictures.
So on the fourth floor of the Legong Building, there are four film companies.
plus Yang Qiu......
Although the number of wars of the Eight Kingdoms cannot be staged, it is more than enough to write a Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
However, as Hu Jinkang introduced, Yang Qiu is very satisfied with this place.
Lively, safe, green, what else is there to say.
"Brother Hu, I don't know how to calculate the rent here?" Yang Qiu looked around the house and asked casually.
"Sign the contract, the minimum lease is three years, and the rent is paid once a year, 15,000 per year. β
"Fifteen thousand ......" Yang Qiu silently calculated, nodded and responded: "This price is okay." β
"Looks like you're trying to rent?"
"That's exactly what I mean, but ......" Yang Qiu smiled and said, "Brother Hu, can this rent be cheaper?"
"Haha, it's easy to say, let's go, I'll take you to the property to bargain. β
"Brother Hu, thank you!"
"Thank you, by the way, your company's new location has opened, so you should be recruiting people too, right?"
"yes. Yang Qiu followed Hu Jinkang all the way, and asked interestingly: "What, Brother Hu has a talent to introduce to me?"
Hu Jinkang hurriedly waved his hand and quipped: "I don't have any handsome talents, I also keep them myself, but there should be a lot of them on Brother Yiwen's side." β
"Yi Wen ......"
The sun was a little dizzy at dusk, and the door of a rented room on Tin Kwong Road in Kowloon was open, and the first thing that caught your eye from the outside was a whirring fan hanging from the roof.
Underneath the fan is a reed mat laid directly on the ground.
Zou Dingxin was lying on the mat with his bare arms, holding a copy of "Great Wall Pictorial" and flipping it in his hand. It's just that obviously the air in October is too hot, and the sweat on Zou Dingxin's body is still pouring out.
It didn't take long for a sweat stain to be cast on the mat.
"Whew-"
The heat was so unbearable that Zou Dingxin took a long breath and sat up, threw the pictorial aside, took the wet towel in an iron basin next to him, and wiped it on his body.
A chill spread throughout his body, and Zou Dingxin couldn't help but close his eyes comfortably.
Why is it so hot in this weather?
"Knock knockβ"
There was a sound of going upstairs, and as soon as Zou Dingxin opened his eyes, he saw his roommate Ling Jiesheng walking in.
This one was obviously much harder than him, and the white shirt on his body had already turned gray after a day of running, and the fabric was still sticky with sweat, clinging to his body.
Seeing Zou Dingxin, he was uncomfortable for a while.
The two big men didn't see each other much, Ling Jiesheng unbuttoned and took off his clothes as soon as he entered the door, and he was tired of a day today.
Zou Dingxin helped the frame on his nose, leaned over a little impatiently and asked, "Ah Sheng, how is my manuscript?"
"What else. Ling Jiesheng glanced at him, took the clothes he took off and wiped them on his body, and said, "It's over." β
Zou Dingxin's eyes lit up, sat up straight and said, "Yo, then we will have half of this month's rent." β
"yes, you 'shocked' it twice, and we can all buy a house. Ling Jiesheng suddenly sarcastically said angrily when he heard this.
"Hehe-" Zou Dingxin didn't see it at all, and said with a smile: "If I can really buy a house, it won't be a problem for me to 'shock' him a hundred times a month." β
"Whew! β
Ling Jiesheng also took his basin and took a small half basin of water, walked under the fan and kicked Zou Dingxin, and when he gave up a small piece of space, he put down the basin and wiped it.
"By the way, what about Cheng Rong?" Zou Dingxin pulled the mat and dragged it a little farther, and sat on it again.
"The club is too busy, working overtime. β
"Tsk, you editors are too busy, it's really hard, I can't edit in the future. Zou Dingxin smashed his mouth twice, and said with feeling.
Ling Jiesheng glanced at him: "Hehe, you supernumerary reporter, don't say it." β
"What's wrong with the supernumerary correspondents?! I make more money a month than you. β
"If I were 'shocked' every day, I would have earned more than you. β
"Then you're 'shocked'!"
"You're ββ,!" Ling Jiesheng smacked Zou Dingxin's mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "Shameless! β
"Thanks. β
ββ¦β¦β
Ling Jiesheng's nose was almost crooked by this roommate, and he glanced at this rogue roommate with hatred, and finally he couldn't match this person, so he changed the topic and said, "What about the national government?"
"Hmm. Zou Dingxin buckled his feet, sniffed and nodded, "I should still be looking for a job outside." β
"Looking for a job?" I said, why don't you get a regular job too?"
"It's hot, too lazy to run. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Phew!"
The two old friends were arguing, and a person suddenly walked in outside the door, Zou Dingxin and Ling Jiesheng thought that one of the two roommates was back, and they didn't care about it for a while.
But when Zou Dingxin glanced at the visitor, he immediately stood up from the mat, and by the way, he wiped the hand that had just buckled his foot on his pants.
Ling Jiesheng did the same, and stood up respectfully.
"Hello senior. β
"Senior, why are you here?"
Yi Wen looked at the two little guys in front of him, but remembered how young and frivolous he was before, and suddenly chuckled: "Why, I can't come?"
