Ho Man Tin Road, Kowloon Island, Chen Yongren walked with his parents and Zhang Manyu, and Shi Xiuzhu said: "Ah Ren, we live well in Yuen Long, why bother to move? ”。

Chen Yongren said: "I said last year, only let you work hard for half a year, there are people in Yuen Long, you have a garment shop in Tin Shui Wai and are all charged protection money, our family is rich now, how safe is it to live there?" ”。

Shi Xiuzhu sighed: "You are right, but why are you here?" Regent Garden, I've heard that the house prices are very expensive here! ”。

"Your son is not short of money now, and the new company I set up in Mong Kok is relatively close to here; The most important thing is that it is only one street away from the Kowloon Police Station, so no one dares to make trouble here, which is very safe! ”。 Chen Yongren suddenly stopped as he spoke, pointed to a unit building in front of him and said with a smile: "When I arrived, I bought the two houses on the first floor......."

"Two houses? Why buy two? Shi Xiuzhu was puzzled.

"The other one is Ah Yu's, she is no longer in TVB, and she needs to change her place to live, so I bought ...... together."

"Buy it for me?" Zhang Manyu was shocked, and was about to say something, when he glanced at Chen's father and Chen's mother, and suddenly pulled Chen Yongren away for a while, and whispered to the latter: "What do you mean?" Didn't I say that I would solve my own business by myself, and didn't you agree? ”。

Chen Yongren smiled: "I promised you......."

"Then you still ......".

"Listen to me!" Chen Yongren pressed Zhang Manyu's shoulders and suddenly asked, "Am I your boyfriend?" ”。

Zhang Manyu nodded, and just said, "But it's ......", and heard Chen Yongren say: "Since I'm your boyfriend, can I give some opinions on your affairs, and then can you also adopt some of my opinions?" ”。

"Hmmm......".

"Then you just listen to me, live here, buy this room plus decoration fees, furniture costs, a total of 1.25 million Hong Kong dollars, you pay me back slowly, or I will deduct it from your salary?"

"1.25 million?"; Zhang Manyu exclaimed: "How come, the Hong Kong property market has been in the doldrums for three years, and the highest square foot here is only 500 yuan, even if you buy a thousand feet, it is only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars for decoration and furniture, how can you use 1.25 million?" ”。

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "The decoration cost 100,000 yuan, but the furniture is a bit expensive, and the houses in this building are very large, all of them are more than 1,500 square feet of ......."

Zhang Manyu said with a bitter face: "But it's 1.25 million Hong Kong dollars...... When will I have so much money? I don't live ......".

"Don't worry, 1.25 million is a fraction of what you will earn in the future; Don't forget, you are an actor, and your worth will rise day by day! ”。

"Alright! But you are not allowed to make decisions about me without telling me in the future! ”。

"Of course...... I just bought you a sanitary napkin, and I asked you which brand of ...... you wanted."

"Roll ......".

Shi Xiuzhu looked at the flirting between the two and sighed: "Ah Ren has really grown up!" ”。

Chen Qitai smiled: "I always feel that he has changed since last year, but I like the way he looks now, he has become cheerful, he used to be always silent, and he didn't even have a friend...... Now I'm relieved. He has matured and succeeded, and I can pursue my life too! ”。

Shi Xiuzhu said curiously: "Do you still have a life pursuit?" ”。

"Of course...... I always hope that my dad is a rich man, I can be a gentleman, every day is to drink tea and walk birds and play chess, now the dream of forty years can finally come true, my son has become a rich man, I can be a gentleman dad, drink tea and walk birds and play chess every day! ”。

"......" Shi Xiuzhu was speechless for a while, and sighed: "You have hidden it deep enough, for twenty years, I haven't found out that you are such a pursuit!" ”。

Chen Yongren looked at the surrounding unit buildings and sighed, since the collapse of the real estate in 1981, housing prices have fallen for three consecutive years, the decline is not in percentage, but as high as several times, there has been a research team investigation report, at this time the backlog of funds in the real estate industry is as high as 50 billion. No matter how hard it falls, there is no way to do it, real estate can't be played without more than a billion yuan, even if he is rich, he is not ready to play this, he has a deep experience of this in his previous life, it is too lacking in morality, and the housing prices are so high that the people are not allowed to live?

I remember that Situ Jinyuan, the gold medal screenwriter of Galaxy Imaging in the future, returned to TVB after leaving Galaxy Imaging to write the pinnacle of Hong Kong dramas, the classic business war drama "Genesis", which has a classic line that exposes the government and housing prices - "They just take a little money out, spend a little time, and constantly make a lot of money by speculating on housing prices!" Is this called fairness? You go ask them! Just ask someone! Ask them what they need! Their answer is simple, they just want a very ordinary house! Why do they spend their whole lives providing for a house? Because it's the rich people who are playing on them! The richer you are, the more fun you get! ”。

A gentleman does something and does not do something; Although Chen Yongren is not a gentleman, he will not engage in those things that give birth to a son without an asshole; Some things are too deeply involved, and Chen Yongren feels that he can't stop them, but he is not ready to participate in them.

A gentleman loves money and takes it from the way. There are many ways to make money, and Chen Yongren, who has transitioned from a small ordinary person, is deeply touched by this; Food, clothing, housing and transportation related businesses are resolutely not touched, because these four related industries are indispensable to human society, so even if the price of housing prices, vegetable prices, clothes, and shoes is high, people have to succumb to reality; But Chen Yongren feels that this is no different from buying and selling.

The entertainment industry is different, what you love and I want, movies and TV are all loved to watch or not, no one is reluctant; Good movies not only entertain the public, but also make money for themselves, although some unscrupulous people will make bad movies and disgusting people, but Chen Yongren will work hard to control the market in the future and change this kind of thing. Thinking about it this way, Chen Yongren is deeply proud of the work he is engaged in, which is too noble! That's it, make movies to make money, and be a person with high morals; Make good movies to entertain the public, and be a useful person to society; Work hard for the future of Chinese films and be a patriotic person......

However, we can't ignore the real estate aspect, after all, it is related to his main film business, Chen Yongren knows that by the end of the year, the land price will rise after the signing of the joint statement between China and the UK, and before that, we must make more money, buy a few good lots to build a cinema, start to build our own cinema line, and strive to develop the film industry is a big deal.

……

"Ah Ren, this is the Sister Baozhu you are looking for!" Zhong Changhong introduced to Chen Yongren.

Today's Cui Baozhu is just a very ordinary producer, and she was very surprised by Chen Yongren's invitation.

"Hello, Sister Baozhu......", Chen Yongren stretched out his hand......

Cui Baozhu and Chen Yongren shook hands shallowly, and the two invited each other to sit down; Zhong Changhong was worried that Chen Yongren would cause her any more trouble, so she pulled Zhang Manyu, who came with Chen Yongren, and said with a smile: "They are talking about business, let's go shopping!" ”。

"But ......."

"No, the rest of your day is mine." Zhong Changhong interrupted Zhang Manyu's words, and then smiled at Chen Yongren: "You can arrange it yourself today!" ”。

Chen Yongren smiled strangely: "As for it? Can you hide from the first day of junior high school, can you hide from the fifteenth? ”。

Zhong Changhong ignored it and smiled at Cui Baozhu: "Sister Baozhu, I won't bother you to talk about things!" ”。

After the two left, Chen Yongren said to Cui Baozhu: "Sister Baozhu, you should know my purpose for looking for you, right?" ”。

Cui Baozhu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Miss Zhong mentioned it to me, but I don't understand, I didn't know Mr. Chen before, and it doesn't seem to have any intersection; And I do know your name, Mr. Chan, and I have only participated in a handful of films, and I am not well-known in Hong Kong; There are many well-known film planners, why did you find me? ”。

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "Sister Baozhu said that you are joking, although you have only participated in a few movies, they are all successful works, but from this point of view, you are definitely a person with outstanding ability!" ”。

"There are a lot of people with outstanding abilities in Hong Kong!"

Chen Yongren smiled lightly: "Sister Baozhu listened to me finish speaking, the reason why I chose you is because I heard something about you!" ”。

"About me? What's up? ”； Cui Baozhu is very curious, in her memory, there doesn't seem to be anything special that is widely known......

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "I heard that once you were filming with director Xu Anhua, and someone was looking for an opportunity to collect protection money, and at that time you pretended to be a fool and negotiated with them. Just after the last shot, the group of people stood in front of the camera to collect money. You retreat outside the camera and let those people come over, and after Director Xu finishes filming, you ask people to remove all the equipment and actors, leaving only one car on the scene with the door open. And then you say to those people – 'It's broken, my actor has fallen into the water, I'm going to take her to the hospital.'" Then he got in the car and walked away. Is there such a thing? ”。

"How do you know this? Still so clear? ”。 Chen Yongren said plainly, but Cui Baozhu was shocked; There are very few people who know about this matter, and because they are more sensitive, they all make an appointment not to mention it, but Chen Yongren is very clear about the details, how not to shock her.

"You told me yourself twenty-eight years later!". Of course Chen Yongren wouldn't say that, he smiled and waved his hand to reassure: "Sister Baozhu, don't worry, when I was filming "Two Big Smoking Guns", there was an actor who had been on the road before, and one of his former friends was one of the people who asked you to collect protection money that day, and he mentioned ...... when we chatted."

Cui Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she still had some doubts, she wondered: "But...... This kind of thing is very early, how can someone bring it up for no reason? ”。

Chen Yongren smiled: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, because I did the same thing, but compared to you, the thing I experienced was more exciting than the one you experienced!" ”。

Cui Baozhu was surprised to hear Chen Yongren's answer, and she was curious: "I don't know what kind of experience it is?" Oh...... If it is inconvenient to ......".

"Nothing ......inconvenient," Chen Yongren said with a smile. Then he talked about the entanglement with Jiang Yuefeng of Lianxing News Agency during the filming of "Two Big Smoking Guns", but omitted the part about Chen Chaowu, and after finishing speaking, he smiled and said: "The difference between the two of us is nothing more than that Sister Baozhu, you left very harmoniously that time, and what about me...... A little more exciting! Then the friend said that one of his former brothers had experienced the same thing, and I asked a little more curiously, only to know that Sister Baozhu is my senior! ”。

Cui Baozhu was shocked when she heard this, she sighed: "Mr. Chen is really fearless, I can't compare to your experience, it's just that I don't understand what you do, and those people are so stiff, aren't you afraid that they will retaliate afterwards?" ”。

Chen Yongren sighed: "This ...... For some special reasons, I can't go into details, but all the decisions I make are well thought out! ”。

Cui Baozhu nodded and said no more; Chen Yongren continued: "Sister Baozhu, you have the ability, and you and I have had similar experiences, I think we have a certain fate in the dark, so I asked Sister Hong to invite you!" ”。

"Mr. Chen......".

Chen Yongren raised his hand to interrupt the former, and said with a smile: "I've called you Sister Baozhu so many times, if you don't mind, you can call me Ah Ren!" ”。

Cui Baozhu smiled: "Okay! Ah Ren, if you answer my last question, I will decide whether to agree to your ......."

Chen Yongren was stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment and said, "...... you say." He was not used to this passive rhythm after being reborn.

"Why are you in the film industry?"; Cui Baozhu stared at Chen Yongren's eyes......

Chen Yongren was stumped, there are 1,800 answers to this kind of question, and the most popular one is, of course, - because I love movies, but this definitely doesn't apply to now, Cui Baozhu obviously has her own plans in her heart, and wants to see if she and her are compatible, which is the key to testing whether the two are really related. How do you answer this? If you don't know the answer, it's better not to have the answer...... Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at Cui Baozhu, and said very seriously: "Because I want to live, but I don't want to do things that lack morality, so I'm here to make a movie!" ”。

"Ah...... What the? ”。 Cui Baozhu was stunned......
