Chapter 7 Layout of Hong Kong
In the late 70s and early 90s, Hong Kong was once the center of Asia's entertainment industry, but unfortunately due to the small market structure, the quick success of film and television personnel, and the money laundering of gangsters, it was finally swept into the dust of history.
Wang Jie doesn't have any idea of saving Xiangjiang Entertainment, this is a dead loop, he only plans to take advantage of the surging tide to seize a piece of fat cake, and by the way, build a bridgehead for the future into the Chinese mainland.
Wang Jieming forbade several girls in Xiangjiang from contacting their original families, after all, they were not "bought" to "help the poor".
At the end of the evening after dinner, the little girl Zhou Huimin stopped Wang Jie and said awkwardly: "Can I pick up grandma, she is so lonely at home alone, I miss her very much, my mother doesn't dare to tell you." ”
Wang Jie stroked his forehead with one hand and patted his head, and asked the housekeeper Old Jim to pick up Zhou Xiaoya, only remembering that she was a posthumous child, and her mother was an elderly mother, completely forgetting that she also had a grandmother.
"Of course, I'll send a car to ask your mother to pick up your grandmother right away, and you will live together in the future, and you won't have to let her go back." ”
"Great, thank you!" the girl pecked the boy on the cheek, and when she realized what she had done, she covered her face and ran away shyly.
Wang Jie couldn't help but smile after being stunned, and said to himself, "Grow up quickly, I rescued you from the scumbag in this life, and your people and luck will also belong to me." ”
At about 10 o'clock the next morning, the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, came to Wang Jie's mansion in the mid-levels, he was invited by the boy to the old butler Jim, and although the boy's mother was a British subsidiary of the Rothschild family, she was still high in the eyes of the British low-ranking staff of the diplomat class like the Governor of Hong Kong, after all, this huge family had hidden behind history and once controlled the direction of the entire white world.
"Hello, King William J. Rothschild, your grandfather called me yesterday and asked me to make your stay on Hong Kong Island as convenient as possible. MacLehose did not despise Wang Jie because of his age at this time.
"Thank you, Mr. MacLehose, for calling me William. Although the boy's grandfather didn't like to see this mixed-race grandson, for the sake of Wang Jie's deceased mother in this life, he still gave the boy a lot of help.
"Recently, I wanted to buy some land in Tseung Kwan O East and Tiu Keng Leng and I hope the Hong Kong government will approve it. Wang Jie asked Hong Kong Governor MacLehose to sit in the living room and said.
"There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you have the paperwork for the relevant land purchase application, I can approve it right away. Hearing that it was these two poor places, MacLehose easily agreed.
Tiu Keng Leng is located in Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung District, New Territories, Hong Kong, most of the residents at this time are the descendants of the national army and their families who lived in squatter houses and retreated to Hong Kong Island during the liberation. In 1976, Tiu Keng Ling was a slum to put it bluntly, and as for Tseung Kwan O, it was not until 1983 that the Development Department developed Tseung Kwan O as a new town.
The reason why Wang Jie wants to buy land in these two places is because the land in these two places is very cheap at this time, and Wang Jie is ready to build a film and television base after buying a large area of land to lay the foundation for future development in Xiangjiang.
Wang Jie and Hong Kong Governor MacLehose talked enthusiastically for about an hour, after which Wang Jie invited MacLehose to lunch, and it was not until 1 p.m. that MacLehose left the mansion.
With the pace of time, the Spring Festival is approaching, perhaps after everyone becomes more acquainted, the girls in life have also begun to chatter, which makes the whole mansion lively.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Jie asked Old Jim to send a big red envelope to each girl, even Little Brother Li was not left behind, and although Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau, two white girls, celebrated the Chinese New Year for the first time, it was relatively novel, but they were still happy after receiving the red envelope.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, several Chinese chefs showed their superb cooking skills, in addition to the indispensable dumplings and rice cakes, the table was also filled with 18 dishes of Lu cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and Su cuisine.
Wang Jie had a very comfortable time this Spring Festival.
After the Lantern Festival, Wang Jie sent 20 people, including 10 girls, back to the United States by plane, and Wang Jie himself stayed on Hong Kong Island to start his layout.
On March 15, 1976, on behalf of Wang Jie, the housekeeper Lao Jim, signed a contract with the Hong Kong government for the purchase of 200 hectares of land, of which 140 hectares of Tiu Keng Ling Wang Jie was intended to be used to build a cinema, and 60 hectares of Tseung Kwan O, where Wang Jie was prepared to put the Asian branch of Industrial Light and Magic, and also prepared to build several sea-view villas here. The purchase of this 200 hectares of land cost Wang Jie more than 4,000 Hong Kong dollars.
On March 20, Wang Jie registered and established DreamWorks Entertainment in Xiangjiang.
In April, under the persuasion of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, Wang Jie purchased a number of cinemas such as Le Sheng, Lisheng, Kai Sheng, and Kim Hongji from Lui Jueshen at a market price of about 150 million Hong Kong dollars two stories higher, and the two parties signed a contract on April 5, 1976.
The reason why Lei Jueshen was willing to sell these theaters to Wang Jie was not only because the price was also because Lei Jueshen's focus at this time was on Kowloon Construction, and it was not until the 80s, when the entertainment industry in Hong Kong began to prosper, that he and Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Shi Tian founded the New Art City Film Company.
Wang Jie successively purchased five more small theaters and merged to form the DreamWorks Cinema Line. On April 15, 1976, Wang Jie published in "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily", "Industrial and Commercial Daily" and many other newspapers: DreamWorks Cinemas canceled the cinema package system, and only charged the box office share between the cinema chain and the cinema, and welcomed all producers to the Golden Princess Cinema to release the film.
For a while, public opinion was in an uproar!
