During the Chinese New Year, most employees began to go home for the Chinese New Year. Even the workers at the two construction sites in Kowloon Bay and Central, Zhang Shaojie also gave 500 yuan of red envelopes for the Chinese New Year each, which made people feel extremely happy.

However, for many Britons, the Chinese New Year's joy did not affect their pessimism.

At this time, Zhang Shaojie knew that William, a wealthy Britishman, was pessimistic about Hong Kong's economic and political prospects. Several luxury houses in the mid-levels will be sold at a price of between 5 million ~ 30 million.

Zhang Shaojie chose the most expensive one, the villa covers an area of more than 70,000 square feet, if you count the construction area, then it is more than 50,000 square feet.

The villa has a swimming pool, garden, and a lush jungle in front of and behind the building. If it is placed more than 20 years later, this villa will be worth at least more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

"Sir, if you pay in dollars or pounds, I can give you a discount. Just $3 million! The English gentleman said indifferently.

Zhang Shaojie smiled and said, "Is it okay to check the US dollar from HSBC?" ”

"Absolutely!" William seems impatient with properties in Hong Kong. He was eager to escape Hong Kong and return to London. In his opinion, if it is a little later, Hong Kong will return to the rule of Yanjing in the future, and such a mansion may not be worth a penny.

Notarization by the personnel of the law firm. Zhang Shaojie handed the check to the gentleman, who signed the transfer contract of the villa.

Zhang Shaojie looked at this guy with pity, in fact, if this guy knew that in 30 years, the price of real estate in Hong Kong would rise by more than 50 times, would he be depressed and crazy?

"Sir, the house is already yours. I'm moving out today and going to London. Will never come back. By the way, a few servants in the villa, if you see fit, stay. If you don't like it, you can quit, I can't control it anyway. In addition, there are more than 10 barrels of red wine made by French wineries in the cellar, and some books in the study are given to you. Feel free to deal with it! William said.

Zhang Shaojie nodded and said, "Thank you, if those servants are suitable, I will still keep them!" ”

After buying this villa.

The previous owner handed over the keys and the real estate deed. After that, he introduced Zhang Shaojie, the new owner, to the servants in the house. After that, William drifted away.

"Master, is there anything I can do to help you?" Johnson, a housekeeper in his 40s, greeted him elegantly in London English as if he didn't seem to feel awkward about changing owners.

Zhang Shaojie said: "Tell me about the history of this building and every room. ”

"Well, this building, first built in 1867, was originally a property purchased by a British captain in Hong Kong, and later, in 1926, it was purchased by Sir William the Elder. William Sr. was a major officer stationed in Hong Kong, and was captured and imprisoned for two years during World War II. After the war, he retired from the army, ran a business in Hong Kong, and became a billionaire. In 76, Sir William Sr. died, and William Jr., who inherited Sir William Sr.'s legacy, gradually transferred his career to England. Now, with the sale of this property to you, the William family has nothing to do with Hong Kong! Johnson said, "However, in 81 years, William Jr. spent more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars to tear it down and rebuild it. This makes this villa even more modern. The whole villa has a banquet hall of more than 6,000 square feet. In addition, there are two kitchens, 4 bathrooms, a swimming pool, 15 underground parking spaces, 9 guest rooms, a gym, a study, and a large cellar with an area of more than 2,000 feet"

Johnson was the housekeeper, and then introduced Zhang Shaojie to other servants.

There are three maids, one is Wu Ma, who is in her 40s, Pei Liya, a 26-year-old Filipino maid, and Liu Jiabao, who is 22 years old.

Pei Liya is quite angry, while Liu Jiabao is bright and moving.

Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but look at the two maids and said, "Housekeeper, this maid was selected by the beauty pageant?" ”

Johnson humorously: "In my eyes, Mother Wu is a beauty." ”

"The difference in aesthetic vision is too great, Zhang Shaojie can only be speechless.

Not long after Zhang Shaojie visited this villa, the next day, he took Mei Denglin's three daughters to visit.

"Wow, that's magnificent. I didn't expect to be able to live in such a nice house! The three women looked incredulous.

"I bought it for only $3 million!" Zhang Shaojie said proudly, "In fact, I feel that these furniture, decorations and the like in the interior are worth at least one million Hong Kong dollars." What's even more surprising is that some of the books in the collection have a certain age, and most of them have the potential to increase the value of the collection in the future! ”

When Anita Mui heard this, she went to the study, held a book that looked yellow, and said in surprise: "This is Dickens published in 1875, what an antique!" ”

Zhang Shaojie was stunned, looked at the publication date of the book, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, good luck." It is estimated that this collection is worth thousands of pounds! ”

Because it was like discovering a treasure, Zhang Shaojie, Anita Mui, Lin Qingxia, and Teresa Teng looked through the date of the collection. Sure enough, dozens of books published in the 19th century were found.

It can be said that the history of more than 100 years alone is enough to make these collections valuable.

However, there are also these old books left. As for the more valuable collections such as oil paintings, a few days ago they were airlifted to London by William, the former owner of the house.

"Hehe, these books are probably worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!" Zhang Shaojie guessed casually.

He doesn't understand the prices of the book collection market, but at least these are books of a certain age, and if they don't appreciate, there is no reason!

"It seems that the previous owner of this thing is not a book lover!" Teresa Teng patted a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" during the Republic of China.

The collection of books here is ancient and modern, both Chinese and foreign. Combined, there are about more than 5,000 copies. There are basically no books published in the last 20 years. The main collection is concentrated before the 60s.

It is estimated that it is the collection of the owner's father and grandparents.

"Now, these books are all mine. However, this study is also empty. Enough to place more than a dozen large bookcases and make it a place with a rich collection of books! Zhang Shaojie smiled, "Books are actually the most valuable things." Even if a person's wealth is wiped out, as long as he has knowledge and wisdom, it is possible to earn it back! Therefore, the family property left to future generations does not necessarily need to be based on wealth, but more importantly, it is more important to cultivate the knowledge, talent and other abilities of future generations to create wealth by themselves! ”

Hearing that Zhang Shaojie mentioned the issue of offspring, the third daughter is more sensitive, and at the same time, she also has the idea of being a mother. Looking at Zhang Shaojie's eyes, there was more heat and longing.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Shaojie felt like he was being stared at by three wolf-like resentful women.

"Who's staring at you?"

"Self-inflicted!"

"I've been reading."

The three girls covered up one after another.

Due to the fact that the villa itself was very exquisitely renovated by the original owner. Zhang Shaojie lacks the brain of artistic cells, and does not think that there is a need for redecoration.

Let the moving company move some important equipment into the new home.

And Anita Mui, Lin Qingxia, and Teresa Teng all have their own luxury bedrooms. With many servants, Zhang Shaojie really feels a bit like the emperor of the three palaces and six courts.

"Welcome home, host (wife)!" The housekeepers and servants seem to be very particular about etiquette.

It seems that because of the grandeur of the family, there are many more subordinates than before. Therefore, the third daughter also gave Zhang Shaojie extra face.

Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but feel proud: "It seems that this house is really worth buying"

———————————— around the Chinese New Year in 83, Hong Kong's film industry also lacked bright spots.

For example, Zhang Guoming, the director of Shaw Brothers Film Company, originally wanted to create a big-budget sci-fi movie that imitated "Star Wars", but under the constraints of cost and the absurdity of the script, he made a ridiculous bad movie "Interstellar Blunt Fetus".

If Shaw Brothers didn't play the so-called Hong Kong version of "Star Wars" gimmick, it would be fine. However, after the earth-shattering sound, the audience watched a boring farce.

In the end, the audience was disgusted and said, "Cut, shit farce!" "The Shaw Brothers are really getting more and more mixed up! "Hong Kong can really make blockbusters is Baolong! ”

And after Shaw Brothers' comical "Interstellar Blunt Fetus" lost its appetite.

Golden Harvest's "Five Lucky Stars" has been preparing a blockbuster for more than a year and has finally begun to be released. And because Zhang Shaojie wrote the screenplay and Sammo Hung directed him, he invited more than 60 stars from the entire Chinese entertainment industry to make cameos in it.

The star-studded lineup attracted the curiosity of countless audiences. As a result, "Five Lucky Stars" actually created a box office of 27 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a lot higher than the historical box office of 21 million Hong Kong dollars.

Sammo Hung immediately gratefully invited Zhang Shaojie to be extravagant in the hotel, and said: "Shaojie, accept your affection, "Five Lucky Stars", it is actually red and purple!" ”

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "Brother Sanmao, this is the honor you deserve, there are not many powerful stars in Hong Kong." You are a handful. acting and directing, after working hard in the crew for so many years, your experience is enough to lay the foundation for becoming popular. I'm just borrowing flowers to offer the Buddha a little bit and plan it for you! By the way, "Five Lucky Stars" can be made into a series, the script of the first book was written by me, and then you can find some screenwriters, according to the style of the first book, and innovate again! I think that as long as the quality is stable, the "Five Lucky Stars" series will be popular with at least 5 parts!"

In fact, after the painting of "The Five Lucky Stars".

The release of Baolong Film's "Happy Ghost" has also begun to be put on the stage, relative to the star lineup of "Five Lucky Stars". "Happy Ghost" basically uses some newcomers.

However, Wang Jing and Wang Fat have a unique talent for comedy-themed movies. Zhang Shaojie believes that Wang Jing's "Happy Ghost" should not be inferior to the historical version of Huang Baiming.
