―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Long before Wei Xiong left for the UK, the news spread that the company was preparing a film with a bigger investment than "Pirates of Malacca".

Over time, more information is revealed.

Only then did most people in the company know that the name of the film is "Iron Man", which is adapted from the comic "Iron Man" under Marvel Comics.

The investment is twice as much as that of Pirates of Malacca.

However, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that the hero and heroine of the film have not yet been decided, and the artists in the subsidiary can't sit still.

Anyone who enters the entertainment industry does not want to be famous.

And this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, just look at Leung Ka-fai, who played the leading role in "Pirates of Malacca".

But such a good opportunity is not easy to get.

At present, Webster Films will produce about 20 films every year, of which about 5 will be in the international market as the main box office.

Of so many films, only two or three of the screenplays were written by Wei Xiong.

The others have come from the screenwriting department, directors or collaborations with independent directors of Webster Films, at least for the last three years.

But the big head of the box office is often the script that Wei Xiong came up with.

In addition, Wei Xiong delegated the selection of the film's male and female protagonists a few years ago, leaving the company and the film director solely responsible.

Until now, there are only two or three films a year in which he writes the script, and he still decides who the protagonist is.

However, the two or three scripts that attract the most attention every year are Wei Xiong's scripts, and every time they take out the scripts, I don't know how many people in the company are staring at them.

The big coffee wants to be the protagonist.

The coffee seat is small, and I also want to mix a supporting role.

Because countless facts have proven that if you want to be famous and popular, then showing your face in the movies created by Wei Xiong is the best shortcut.

So when the news of "Iron Man" spread, many people moved their minds.

Those who have relationships are looking for relationships, and those who are not related are also trying to find relationships. But no matter what the relationship is, Wei Xiong has to nod in the end.

Among the many tempting people, Liu Jialing is one of them.

In general, Liu Jialing's development in recent years has been stable, neither outstanding nor backward, ranking in the middle among many female stars.

The popularity is mainly concentrated in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

During this period, she starred in two so-called international blockbusters from other film companies, but the box office was unsatisfactory, and the increase in her popularity was naturally limited.

She was clearly not happy with this state.

She wants to become an internationally renowned superstar like Zhong Chuhong, and for this goal, she will not let go of any opportunity to appear in front of her.

Just like this time.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a strong relationship.

……

February 1, 1993 was a day of great significance for Wei Xiong, for Webster Holdings, and even for the whole of Hong Kong.

Because after almost 5 years of construction, the Merriam-Webster International Center has finally been delivered.

On this day, Merriam-Webster Holdings held a grand ceremony, and more than 200 celebrities from the political and business circles were invited to witness this historic moment.

The most conspicuous are the Deputy General Manager of the State Council of China and the Deputy Prime Minister of the British Cabinet.

As far as time is concerned, Hong Kong is currently in the transitional period of the handover, and it is not surprising that such a major event has appeared at the top level of China and Britain at the same time.

It should be said that it is strange that it does not appear.

In addition to celebrities in the political and business circles, there are also a lot of people in the entertainment industry, especially the artists under Wei's, after all, Wei Xiong started out in entertainment.

Today, the entertainment industry still occupies an important position in Weixiong's industry.

In fact, the Merriam-Webster International Center was delivered last month, that is, on January 15, which should be an unofficial delivery to be exact.

In the next half month, the entire Weishi Holdings began a major relocation.

The entire skyscraper is 689 meters high, with a total of 135 floors above ground, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the whole is an irregular triangle (similar to the Burj Khalifa).

Floors 1 to 22 are the Hilton Hotel.

This is Hilton's second hotel in Hong Kong and the first super-five-star Huahao hotel in Hong Kong to date.

In terms of luxury alone, it surpasses the Peninsula Hotel.

It is worth mentioning that this hotel is not owned by Hilton Hotels Group alone, and Webster Holdings also has a 49% stake in it.

You must know that the Westster International Center will be the tallest building in the world when completed.

It is also a new landmark in Hong Kong.

Coupled with the location in Central, Hong Kong's most prosperous business center, it is completely conceivable how popular it will be at that time.

Naturally, it has attracted the attention of many hotel groups.

Therefore, three years ago, when the Westster International Center was less than half built, there were international well-known hotel groups coming to ask for cooperation.

The conditions offered by each family are good.

After some negotiations, Wei Xiong finally chose Hilton. And not just because Hilton showed sincerity that satisfied him enough.

And also because of a little girl from the Hilton family.

The 23rd to 43rd floors are owned by Phoenix TV, but Macau will retain some of its departments, which are nominally Macau's television stations.

At least take care of the emotions of the people of Macao.

In fact, when he knew that Wei Xiong would take the headquarters of Phoenix Satellite TV to Hong Kong, the governor of Macao personally approached Wei Xiong, hoping to redeem it.

But in the end he gave up.

The current Phoenix Satellite TV is equivalent to a big Buddha, and Macau is a small temple, no matter how gorgeous the small temple is, it can't keep the big Buddha after all.

Floors 44 to 49 and the 6th basement floor (lowest floor) are the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank.

The 6th basement floor is a vault.

It has the highest level of security equipment and measures in the world, even compared to the security measures of the US Federal Reserve vault.

Floors 50 to 61 are the headquarters of Webster Industrial Group.

The group is a large-scale industrial group newly established by Weixiong after the integration of some companies under Weishi Holdings at the end of last year.

Led by UK Infrastructure Group, UK Power Grid Group,

It consists of companies such as the King's Jewelry Company, the Emilco Group, and the Tanglong Construction Company (see 436), a joint venture with Prince Sailos.

Floors 62 to 70 are the headquarters of Galaxy Aerospace.

It is mainly the administrative office department of Galaxy Aerospace, and the scientific research, logistics, and other important departments are all located in the Yuen Long Industrial Park.

Include all important information.

Floors 71 to 83 are the headquarters of Kelon Petroleum Company.

Floors 84 to 119 are owned by the headquarters of Webster Media Group and some of its subsidiaries, including Media Asia Music, Webster Films, Webster Brokerage, etc.

Floors 120 to 123 are owned by Webster Investments.

Floors 124 to 132 are the headquarters of Weststers; On the 133rd floor is a luxurious revolving restaurant operated by the Hilton Hotel.

The 134th floor is an observation deck and is open to the public. Of course, there is a charge for tickets.

The last floor, the 135th floor, is Wei Xiong's personal world, with all office, meeting, living, leisure and other facilities.

There's even a swimming pool with an area of 200 square meters.

Located on the north side of the 135th floor, facing the Port of Widolaya, this swimming pool is arranged along the edge of the building (see Sands Singapore).

Although it is open-air, there is a very advanced installation.

At the push of a button, a glass ceiling sticks out above the platform where the pool is located, and a glass wall rises from the outer edge of the pool.

The last two directions of glass are bordered in the air.

form a glass house.

And all the glass is made of bulletproof glass with the highest bulletproof level, and it is one-way, which can ensure the privacy and safety of the people inside.

There is also a private elevator that leads from the underground parking to the 135th floor.

There are two ways to take this elevator, the first is to hold the key to the elevator, which is actually a magnetic card; The second is unlocked at floor 135.

For example, someone on the 11th floor has to go to the 135th floor.

If he doesn't have the key, he must first notify the 135th floor through a visual pager to unlock the elevator.

When he reaches the 135th floor and exits the elevator, it locks again.

It is impossible for so many companies and departments to move within half a month, just move the company's management first.

The rest of the story may take up to a month.

The grand delivery ceremony lasted for more than 2 hours, and by the end of the ceremony, it was almost 6 o'clock, followed by a grand Western-style dinner.

And Wei Xiong naturally became the focus of the whole dinner again.

In the face of such a happy day, Wei Xiong's interest was also very high, holding a wine glass in his hand and chatting with the guests with a smile.

Truth be told, he hadn't been so happy in a long time.

The completion and delivery of Merriam-Webster International Centre is not just about making it a new landmark in Hong Kong and the world's largest skyscraper.

There is a deeper meaning.

Just like the Rockefeller Center in New York, which is a symbol of Rockefeller's power, the Westster International Center is also the embodiment of Weixiong's power.

It can be said that this day has an extraordinary meaning for him.

Therefore, his aunts and wives rushed back to Hong Kong from the mainland to participate in today's celebration, even Diana, who had just arrived in Hong Kong.

After dealing with a guest again, Wei Xiong had just taken two steps when a person appeared in front of him.

He Guanchang!

In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, in addition to the executives of various companies under Webster Media and artists with large enough coffee positions, they are some bigwigs in the circle.

Zou Wenhuai must be included, and He Guanchang is barely counted.

But Wei Xiong and He Guanchang usually have no communication at all, they can only be regarded as acquaintances, and the reason why they are invited is purely out of respect for their predecessors.

I saw He Guanchang laugh and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Wei, I respect you." ”

"Thank you."

Wei Xiong smiled faintly and lightly touched the wine glass with He Guanchang.

After taking a sip of red wine, He Guanchang hesitated and said apologetically: "I shouldn't have said this on a good day like today, but ......"

The corners of Wei Xiong's mouth hooked: "Mr. He wants to talk about Ah Long?" ”

He Guanchang's expression was a little embarrassed: "That incident is indeed Ah Long's fault, he has now realized his mistake, I hope Mr. Wei has a big ......"

"Hehe, I won't talk about this today, Mr. He is free."

Wei Xiong interrupted He Guanchang's words with a smile, and then turned around and walked away. He Guanchang looked at Wei Xiong's back, and stopped talking.

Finally, he sighed helplessly.

In fact, he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but Cheng Long was his godson after all, and he didn't feel good when he saw Cheng Long's depressed and decadent appearance.

And yesterday Cheng Long came to him and begged him for help.

He couldn't refuse.

However, he didn't expect much, just from the fact that Cheng Long didn't receive an invitation for this celebration, it can be seen that Wei Xiong was disgusted with him.

So he's just doing his best.

After sending He Guanchang away at will, Wei Xiong immediately put this matter behind him, for him, Cheng Long is not worth mentioning at all.

After dealing with a few more guests, Wei Xiong walked into a private room next to him.

As soon as the box door opened, he heard laughter, and saw three people chatting happily, Zhao Jun, deputy general manager of the State Council, Huo Yingdong,

and Zhou Nan, Hong Kong bureau chief of Xinhua News Agency.

Although it is natural for high-level officials from the mainland to attend the handover ceremony of the Merriam-Webster International Center, Hong Kong has not yet returned to the motherland.

Therefore, Zhao Jun is not suitable to be too eye-catching.

This is also the Taoguang obscure policy pursued by the central government since the reform and opening up, so Wei Xiong arranged Zhao Jun in this box.

"Hehe, are you done socializing?"

Huo Yingdong looked at Wei Xiong with a smile.

Wei Xiong shook his head with a slightly wry smile and sat down on the sofa: "To be honest, I'm really a little annoyed by this kind of entertainment, and I can do as little as I can." ”

"Today is a good day for Mr. Wei, and socializing is naturally inevitable."

Zhao Jun said, picked up the wine glass on the table, and said with a smile: "I haven't had a glass yet." Huo Yingdong and Zhou Nan saw each other and picked up the wine glass.

"You're welcome."

The sound of three clinking glasses sounded, and the four of them took their own sipes, and then listened to Huo Yingdong say: "I talked to Vice President Zhao a little just now. ”

Wei Xiong looked at Zhao Jun: "I don't know what Vice President Zhao thinks?" ”

Zhao Jun smiled slightly: "The development of Pudong is an important policy formulated by the central government, and it is natural that Hong Kong patriotic compatriots are welcome to invest, and all aspects can be discussed." ”

"But I'm not in charge of the economic side, so I ......"

Wei Xiong nodded understandingly: "I understand this, as long as the central government allows it, the specific investment affairs can be discussed slowly later." ”

In 1990, the central government will develop the Pudong Upgrading Agenda.

From March 28 to April 7 of the same year, Yao Yilin, then Vice Premier of the State Council, led a team to conduct a special investigation in Pudong.

And quickly formed the "Outline of the Report on Several Issues Concerning the Development of Pudong in Shanghai".

Subsequently, in accordance with the strategic plan of the central government, the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government formulated the policy of developing Pudong, revitalizing Shanghai, serving the whole country, and facing the world.

On 11 October 1992,

Approved by the State Council: the establishment of Pudong New Area in Shanghai.

Chuansha County was abolished, and the administrative area of Pudong New Area included the original Chuansha County, Sanlin Township of Shanghai County, and the Pudong part of Huangpu District, Nancheng District, and Yangpu District.

In January 1993, Pudong New Area was officially established.

So far, Pudong has entered a substantial stage of development.

Wei Xiong has memories of the future, and of course he knows what Pudong will look like in 20 years, which is completely earth-shaking.

Even if there are no memories of the future,

With the development of the economy in the mainland, it is also conceivable that Pudong, as a key support area of the state, will usher in the spring of development.

Therefore, it is logical that he wants to invest in Pudong.

This idea was casually mentioned by him at a previous meeting of the United Investment Bank, but he did not expect to immediately arouse the interest of Fok Yingdong, Ho Hongsen and others.

You must know which of them has not been in the business world for half their lives.

You may not have noticed it before.

Now listening to Wei Xiong mention it, after thinking about it a little, he saw the infinite business opportunities contained in it, so he also expressed his desire to invest in Pudong.

In the end, the five of them discussed and simply set up a new real estate company.

The benefits of this are obvious, not only to pool the resources of the five companies, but also to share the risk, which is the most important thing.

After all, the incident from a few years ago is still fresh in my mind.

Except for Wei Xiong, no one dares to guarantee that there will be any major changes in the mainland in the future, such as the sudden cessation of reform, reform, opening up, and liberalization.

Of course, this possibility is still relatively small.

At the beginning of last year, Deng Lao, who had already taken a back seat, inspected Wuchang, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shanghai, and other places and delivered an important speech.

It was also this southern tour that injected a shot in the arm for foreign investment in the mainland.

At present, this real estate company has been established with a registered capital of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its full name is 'Huaxia Real Estate Investment Co., Ltd.'.

Wei Xiong, Xiang Jia, Li Jiacheng, Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho each hold 20% of the shares.

The real estate company will focus on investing in real estate in the Mainland. However, land is still a relatively sensitive resource in today's hinterland.

Especially for commercial development.

Approval from the mainland government is also required to enter the mainland market.

After sitting in the box for a while, Wei Xiong got up and left. Just a few steps away, a man bumped into her: "Ah...... I'm sorry Mr. Wei. ”

Liu Jialing hurriedly apologized.

Then she reached out to wipe the water stains on Wei Xiong's suit, which was the red wine spilled from the wine glass in her hand. Fortunately, Wei Xiong's suit is black.

The corners of Wei Xiong's mouth hooked, revealing a strange smile.

Then he quickly disappeared, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it: "It's okay." ”

"I'm really sorry, I was thinking about things just now, I didn't see you, or you take off your suit, I'll go to the bathroom to help you tidy up."

Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "No need, small problem." ”

At this time, Liu Jialing said hesitantly: "This ...... I don't know if Mr. Wei has time now, but I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

She looks calm and natural on the surface.

But as she spoke, her empty left palm involuntarily clenched into a fist. It can be seen that she is nervous in her heart, but what is she nervous about?

Is it worried that Wei Xiong will refuse? Or something else?

Wei Xiong shrugged his shoulders lightly: "Okay, there's an empty box over there." ”

There is also a box diagonally opposite the box where Huo Yingdong and the three of them are, and the door of the box is ajar at this time. After saying that, Wei Xiong walked in.

Seeing this, Liu Jialing looked back at the end of the corridor and hurriedly followed.

It seems to be served to be seen.
