Chapter 043 Get back face for the family and be ordered to hook a girl?
Lin Jianqi received a cash check of one million from Boss Zou of Jiahe, and the person who came said that the extra was Boss Zou's expectations for Lin Shao, and hoped to cooperate with him again.
"Half a Pound and Eight Taels" is Lin Jianqi's income, but it is not only the 1 million Hong Kong box office dividends, but also the Southeast Asian box office dividends in the future, this is Lin Jianqi's big gamble, the box office score does not exceed 8 million, and if it is exceeded, it will make a lot of money, and then it will continue to bring him income.
Not long after, the story of the script price agreed by Lin Jianqi before was dug out by the reporter of "Oriental Daily" from the Xu brothers, and the news that a script made him earn more than one million Hong Kong dollars and became a millionaire was talked about.
But his success is difficult to replicate, the wealth is moving, many screenwriters have found Golden Harvest, proposed such a script dividend, Golden Harvest's response is to exceed 5 million local box office in 1978, confident that it can exceed 5 million Hong Kong dollars local box office, Golden Harvest can sign a sharing agreement.
A group of screenwriters took out their proud scripts and handed them over to Golden Harvest, but their proud works hit the streets one after another, and they really didn't get a penny, which made these screenwriters who thought that spring was coming dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, but Golden Harvest gained a lot from it.
Lin Jianqi's success also has other influences, many schools in Hong Kong have opened script classes, and put Lin Jianqi's "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" script into the textbook, and many students have the dream of getting rich overnight, and have invested in script creation, so that Hong Kong will have more than 10,000 amateur screenwriters in the future, which also lays the groundwork for the future rise and growth of Hong Kong films.
Because the script of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" has become a teaching example in some schools, Lin Jianqi is occasionally invited by other schools to give free public lectures, which attracts many behind-the-scenes personnel in the film and television industry.
You can bring a notebook, record the good ideas and ideas you encounter in your daily life, and make it into a script, even if the script is not good, there are TV series, TV series are not good, there are novels, and advertisements, once it doesn't work twice, and a success will bring a lot of benefits. Lin Jianqi's words have been widely disseminated, and it seems that it is not difficult to create, many people began to carry notebooks with them, picked up pens to try to create, and there are really many writers who stand out and become famous, of course, this is all a later story.
Lin Jianqi's advanced ideas and words have been praised by many people, making his reputation as a wealthy young talent more and more resounding, but at other times Lin Jianqi always pushes that he is in retreat to create, but there are more and more greeting calls and invitations to the reception salon of the Lin Mansion in Kowloon, and occasionally the children of wealthy families and celebrities send New Year's gifts and greeting cards.
Lin Jianqi will be the gift and the list of people to remember in detail, Huaxia has always paid attention to the exchange of courtesy, Lin Jianqi must return the gift, although the return gift is not necessarily valuable, but must be in line with the other party's wishes, friendship can not be achieved overnight, which requires years of hard work. Wang Ba's anger shook, and he came to worship from all directions, it may indeed exist, but Lin Jianqi does not have that fame and status for the time being.
Originally, the Lin family in Kowloon was favored again because of Lin Jianqi's sudden rise of the army, and his peers not only stopped suppressing the Kowloon Bank, but also had the intention of showing a helping hand, and even the bank's run on the phenomenon was greatly reduced, and the chain reaction was not completely over.
During the Chinese New Year, Lin Baixin of the Lin family in Chaozhou gave Lin Jianqi a red envelope of one million Hong Kong dollars to press the New Year's money, as well as a single-family villa of more than 3,000 square feet (about 320 square meters) in Saigon.
Lin Baiye knew that Lin Baixin's actions might be because of face, or because the Kowloon Bank was gradually getting out of trouble, so he called Lin Jianqi kindly, and after encouraging him, he gave him two million New Year's money.
This makes Lin Jianqi a little confused, this is the family affection, the spiritual compensation for himself? Then sent together with the real estate transfer information promised by Lin Baixin, there is also a detailed information about He Chaohuan, the daughter of the He family, including the other party's preferences, personality analysis, and social relations, Lin Jianqi only then understood that Lin Baixin and Lin Baiye gave money to the real estate, originally to raise his net worth, so that when he interacted with He Chaohuan, he would look too shabby and lose the face of the Lin family.
There is really no free lunch in the world, Lin Jianqi smiled bitterly in his heart, if he said that he became famous so quickly, and he had frequent contact with Zhao Yazhi before, but there was no negative scandal between the two, but public opinion praised him continuously, there was no behind-the-scenes promoter of the Lin family, and he would not believe it if he killed Lin Jianqi.
When it comes to wealthy families in Hong Kong in later generations, many people blurt out Li Jiacheng's family, Li Zhaoji's family, Bao Yugang's family, Guo's brothers' family, Huo Guantai's family, etc., but few people know that in Hong Kong, to be precise, in the entire Hong Kong and Macao region, the biggest wealthy family has always been the He Dong family, and Hong Kong's He Dongdao is named after it, which can be seen. And Macau's gambling king He Hongsen is now the biggest branch of the He family.
Ho Tung Road (Ho Tung Road) is a street in the south of Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, south of Boundary Street, north of Oxford Road, in the early days of the development of Western-style residential areas in Kowloon Tong, in 1925 the project encountered the provincial and Hong Kong general strike and the developer died of illness and faced the liquidation crisis, some owners and shareholders asked Ho Tung to help, Ho Tung first organized into the "Kowloon Tong Garden Club", and then continued the unfinished project, the villas were completed in 1929. Thanks to Ho Tung's assistance, a street in the district that was originally named after the English Shire was named "Ho Tung Road".
The Ho Tung family was the richest Chinese family in Hong Kong at the beginning of this century. It was only because of his proximity to the British political axe in Hong Kong and his Jewish ancestry that during the occupation of Hong Kong by Nazi Germany's ally during World War II, the Ho family was bloodily sacked, not only a large amount of wealth was plundered, but the heirs of the family were also scattered all over the country to escape the pursuit of the fascists.
After the defeat of the war, some of the children of the He family returned to Hong Kong to fight, relying on their intelligence and willingness to endure hardships, and gathered a lot of wealth in a short period of time, but many people in the He family still remember the hardships encountered because of the limelight.
After decades of hard work to become the underground governor of Macau, although the gambling king learned the lessons of the He family, he still wanted to export his influence to Hong Kong, and he planned to marry his children with local wealthy families in Hong Kong. As a famous family in Hong Kong, the Chaozhou Lin family is naturally one of the objects of consideration for gambling king He Hongsen.
A few years ago, after Lin Baixin and He Hongsen met at a dinner in the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, they asked He Hongsen for a marriage for his second son Lin Jianle, and fell in love with He Chaohuan on He Hongsen's side at a glance, and wanted to achieve a win-win alliance between the two families through the marriage period, but He Hongsen, who knew Lin Jianle's comments, directly refused euphemistically under the pretext of age difference.
Daughter A Huan is the most optimistic one of He Hongsen, since he was a child by his side to cultivate, at the age of four with him to travel around the world, if it is a child of his own, He Hongsen may agree, so he did not say death, but significantly hesitated, believing that it was true Lin Baixin in the Lin clan to select outstanding children of the right age, as a result, Lin Jianqi was selected, and then there was a matter of succeeding Lin Jianqi.
At the beginning of the year, Lin Baixin thought that the time was ripe and came to the door again to re-mention family affairs, the goal is of course the most important for the gambling king, and he Chaohuan, who is often brought around and carefully cultivated, but unfortunately He Hongsen secretly fell in love with the Xu family, who was once one of the four major families in Hong Kong with the He family, so he politely refused on the pretext that his daughter He Chaohuan was too assertive and wanted to ask her own opinion. swept Lin Baixin's face again.
This kind of bloody plot that he had only heard about in novels and on TV actually happened to him. After learning about the result of the marriage proposal from Lin Baixin, Lin Jianqi, who pretended to be 'gloomy', was secretly funny, but he also had a deeper understanding of the word 'wealthy' in his heart. The strength of their own family is fundamental, and the He family obviously did not look down on the strength of the Lin family.
The gambling king is so faceless, Lin Baixin is also angry in his heart, prompting him to change his attitude towards Lin Jianqi, judging from Lin Jianqi's rose magic, he is still very good at pursuing women, and he is indeed talented, even if He Chaohuan does not succeed here, it will not be a problem for him to choose a family with the same strength to marry and form an alliance with the Lin family in the future, but the He family is too faceless, it is a slap in the face of the Lin family, this evil breath Lin Baixin is really difficult to swallow.
Didn't you He Hongsen say "develop with their young people"? Lin Baixin pulled Lin Baiye together and signaled to Lin Jianqi that as long as he could find a way to get He Chaohuan, it was best to cook raw rice and mature rice, so that He Hongsen would be dumb and suffer a loss of Huanglian, and the family would give him a heavy reward for the Lin family.
If he really wants to do this, not to mention whether Lin Jianqi can succeed, how will the crazy gambling king deal with him? Lin Jianqi did not believe that the Lin family would resist the anger of the He family for him, so he immediately opened his mouth and proposed to borrow 10 million Hong Kong dollars from the Lin family in Chaozhou in the form of interest-free loans as his own activity funds, and also proposed that the two Lin families support him in terms of manpower, material resources, and information, and asked that He Chaohuan's affairs be decided by him.
With Lin Jianqi's rose magic in front, Lin Baiye and Lin Baixin, the two patriarchs of the Lin clan, pondered for a long time and decided to let Lin Jianqi try it.
