Chapter 7: Daily Life Before the Storm (2)
After having dinner in a time-honored tea restaurant, George looked at the time, and there was still a period of time before the NASDAQ stock market opened, so he was in no hurry to go back, and walked around Temple Street casually.
When I came to Heung Kong before, I had been to Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon City, and even the Jockey Club, but I had never been to Temple Street.
His memories of Temple Street come from movies in Hong Kong, a haunt of the underworld, like the nightclubs and bars of Causeway Bay.
What impressed him the most was the twelve young people of Temple Street starring Andy Lau, so when he came to Xiangjiang that time, he did not come here because of preconceived relationships.
In this life, because George has been here once before, and has tasted the original Xiangjiang snacks in Temple Street and seen the situation in Temple Street, it is completely different from his own influence from the movie, the gangs here are orderly, they will not harm ordinary merchants, but will protect them from being influenced by them,,,,,,,
At this time, when you are really in the temple street, you can really feel the significance of the temple street to Xiangjiang.
There is a huge gathering of hawkers, all kinds of clothing, all kinds of street appliances, all kinds of goods, and even snacks.
George even saw many young and beautiful women on the street, each of them bought one or two sets of one style of clothing, and some of them took a series of goods, listening to their words, which made George think of overseas shopping, which is a very hot profession after ten years.
Purchasing began as a flight attendant buying some cosmetics, clothing and bags for friends abroad, and in the end, no one thought that since the emergence of Taobao, it would develop into a huge occupation with amazing energy, so that many people have dug the first pot of gold.
In the past, many of my girlfriend's cosmetics were purchased through purchasing companies, and George had some understanding of this industry, and knew that the person who ate crabs first made a lot of money, but he didn't expect to see the practitioners of this profession here today, and he was a little fresh for a while, so he followed behind them, watching them each pull a small cart, and the cart was already full of the items they bought on this trip.
"Hey,,,,,, what are you doing? Don't you see the cordon, hurry up and quit, don't disturb our filming. ”
Just as George continued to follow the young and beautiful beauties who were purchasing on behalf of him, a young man with dyed yellow hair, bell-bottoms, and a long-sleeved black embroidered dragon pattern walked over and shouted at George.
"Filming?" Listening to the words of the guy who looks like the underworld more than like a movie worker, he suddenly became interested.
In the past, when he was in China, he went to Hengdian, Xiangshan and other film and television cities, and saw the situation of mainland filmmakers when they were filming, but he had never seen the shooting methods of Xiangjiang people.
I have always heard that in the 80s and the entire 90s, when Xiangjiang films were at their most glorious, it was common for a film to be completed in ten days, even after the decline, when it began to enter the era of fine crafting, and the slowest did not exceed a month.
Looking at the girls who were still talking and laughing and walking away, George was no longer following them, the purchasing industry is a good industry, after this Internet storm, he can invest in an Internet company based on purchasing agents.
Just like the overseas shopping in China in later generations, but unlike him, at this moment, he thought that Huaxia's high-quality but cheap goods could be directly used through the Internet to let Internet users in the United States and Canada, especially those with lower incomes, choose what they need.
In China, the United States and even Europe and Australia are put on it, and let them choose by themselves.
This was his idea in a moment, and as for what this plan was, he still needed to go back and write it out carefully, and then carefully consider the current feasibility.
Half a step ahead is for God, two steps ahead is a madman, he doesn't want to be a madman, it's not his style to keep throwing money into it to raise it, and how can I not see or touch the pain of the website.
Haitao is not Amazon, Ali and other e-commerce, to put it bluntly, he is just a second-hand dealer, buy at a low price and sell at a high price, what can be done is in the first few years of the real development of e-commerce.
After the real development of e-commerce, the living space of overseas shopping will become smaller and smaller, after all, things from all over the world can be bought on it, even if overseas shopping has formed a real brand, that is the general trend.
"Hey,,,,,,, I said what are you doing, didn't you hear what I told you, hurry back, otherwise it will affect our shooting, can you afford the loss?"
The young man saw George standing there, not knowing what to think, not speaking or paying attention to himself, and after reaching out and touching his arm, his voice couldn't help but increase his voice.
"Oh, sorry, I'm thinking about things."
George came back to his senses when he was touched by the young man, and said with an apologetic smile at the young man.
"Are you making a movie/? What movie was made and who starred in it? ”
Looking at the yellow-haired young man in front of him who didn't look like a good person, George took out a pack of Marlboros that he had just bought and hadn't had time to open in his pocket, took out one and handed it to the young man and asked.
"Oh, yes, buddy, the Chinese is good, is it from Singapore or bend?"
The yellow-haired young man took the cigarette handed to him by George, stared at George carefully for a while, and then put the cigarette on his nose and asked fiercely, but did not light it.
"Why can't it be somewhere else? For example, Malaysia"
Listening to his words, George looked with interest at Huang Mao, who was a little wary a moment ago, but now he may have let down his vigilance after feeling that he was not in any danger.
"It's impossible, how united the Chinese in Malaysia are, even if they are mixed with the locals, they are not like you, although most of the mixed races are more beautiful and attractive, but they have to be divided into breeds."
Looking at the crew who were preparing in the distance, Huang Mao pulled George down to the side of the road, withdrew from the cordon, and said eloquently as if he knew me very well.
"Variety?" George was a little stunned and looked at the gushing yellow hair in front of him, a little stunned.
"Yes, it's the breed, you look at what those people in Malaysia are, what kind of people can be born of intermarriage, it's not black, there are no blacks in front of them to replace the black race.
Wanwan and Singapore's are different, most of them are born from the Americans who did business here and those American GIs back then, and the genes are different, and the difference is a bit big. ”
Listening to Huang Mao's words, George felt that his thoughts were a little confused.
"Talent" This is George's only evaluation of Huang Mao, what a talent.
There are so many Chinese in Malaysia, most of them are well-off families who are richer than the people of Xiangjiang, but in their eyes, it is really insightful.
"Dude, what are you doing now?"
"Huh?" glanced at the scene being filmed, and found no one he was familiar with in it, so George ignored it and was about to say goodbye like Huang Mao.
"You look good, you can be a model, and now a model like you is very popular, as long as you mix up fame, then the money is not a lot of money.
I've heard that people like you are very popular on the RB side. ”
"Models? I'm going to be a model? ”
George looked at Huang Mao in disbelief, whether this person's thinking was too big. Someone even asked him to be a model.
Whether in his previous life or now he is about to usher in a huge amount of wealth, he has never thought about entering the entertainment industry, and now someone has persuaded him to go to the fashion circle.
"That's right, you mixed-race people are more handsome, if you don't open your own company to make money, you work hard in a company, as long as you don't achieve a high-level monthly income, you will have 10,000 pieces of Hong Kong paper, it is better to be a model, an actor, as long as you are famous, thousands of dollars per minute."
Huang Mao naturally said what he thought in his heart, and by the way, he made a gesture to count the money, which made George really cry and laugh.
"Huang Mao, you're fooling people into going to your brother's modeling agency that is about to go out of business, and you don't look at your brother's appearance, can he really train people well, can he get to this point?"
A familiar pleasant voice came from the side, and before George could react, his arm was already tightly held by the visitor.
"Sister Andy,,,,,, is your scene finished? That's going to call it a day over here, so I'll go over there first. ”
Huang Mao's face turned red when he heard the words of the visitor, and he was about to refute it, but when he saw Andy holding George's arm, he hesitated, immediately changed the topic, and hurriedly turned around and left, it seemed that he didn't want to distinguish with Andy, and gave George an embarrassed look when he left.
"George, why are you here, are you here to pick me up?"
Seeing Yellow Fur leave, Andy pursed his lips and looked at George and asked.
"E,,, happened to have dinner nearby, and I thought it was okay and walked here, but I didn't expect to see where you were making a big fuss,,,,,,"
To be honest, George didn't know that Andy was filming now, and when Andy left today, he thought he was just going to shoot some print ads or something, he came with a few beautiful girls, and he could think that he would be filming here, but this matter can't be said directly, that would really hurt a woman's heart, although the two came together because they took what they needed, and there was an explanation after a little turn.
No matter what kind of woman needs to be coaxed, as long as the kung fu arrives at home, all problems will be solved.
"George ,,,,,,,"
Hearing George say that she was very powerful, Andy, who was originally a little puzzled, showed a little daughter on her face, and shook George's arm a little coquettishly.
"I haven't eaten yet, I'll accompany you to eat first."
The two of them talked like a couple and walked towards the intersection, where there was a nice tea restaurant.
