577 [Wang Zijun, the father of Lan Kwai Fong]
Wang Zijun signaled with a look, and the bodyguards immediately got out of the way and put Liu Jialing into the elevator.
It is estimated that in order to cater to Wang Zijun's aesthetic characteristics, Liu Jialing is dressed innocently at this time, with double ponytails and a pink scarf, and after carrying a bag into the elevator, she stood beside Wang Zijun and bowed her head without speaking.
Seeing that she was silent, Wang Zijun asked, "How does it feel to be an actor?" ”
"Not good." Liu Jialing said.
"What's the wrong way?" Wang Zijun asked.
"I'm hidden in the snow." Liu Jialing pouted.
Wang Zijun was surprised: "Xue hides you, a young actor who has just debuted? The people at the TV station aren't so boring. ”
"It's not because of you." Liu Jialing whispered.
As soon as she explained, Wang Zijun realized that this little girl was affected by herself.
It is said that when the female students in the training class saw Liu Jialing and Wang Zijun hugging each other, they did everything possible to please Liu Jialing. This abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of other students, and it didn't take long for the rumor that Liu Jialing was Wang Zijun's little "qingren" spread, and even spread to the upper management of the TV station.
Later, Wang Zijun's peachy news came out, and the rumors in the station about Liu Jialing seducing Wang Zijun were even more boiling, and in order to avoid suspicion, the TV station treated Liu Jialing, who had just graduated from the artist training class, cold. In almost half a year, Liu Jialing played a few maids with no lines in several martial arts dramas, and the scenes she received were less than when she was in the training class.
Liu Jialing looked at Wang Zijun aggrievedly and said, "Brother, why don't you go and talk to the director, I really want to act." ”
"Uh," Wang Zijun scratched his head, "Okay." But being an actor is very tiring, so you can just find other jobs at such a young age. ”
"Neither will I do anything else." Liu Jialing retorted in a low voice.
"Whatever you want." The elevator had reached the bottom of the building, Wang Zijun followed the bodyguard out of the elevator and said to Liu Jialing, "Go back, so as not to be seen and drag you down." ”
"I'm not afraid." Liu Jialing said, "Brother, you are a good person, and those people who scolded you in the newspaper are all nonsense. ”
"Hehe, they really didn't scold me wrong." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
Liu Jialing did not take the elevator back to the banquet hall, but hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, can you take me to Taiwan for filming?" ”
"Isn't it good to be in Jiashi?" Wang Zijun asked.
Liu Jialing's eyes were red and she said: "They all treat me as that kind of woman in Jiashi, it's very uncomfortable anyway." ”
Wang Zijun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, you give your documents to Secretary Chen Xichen tomorrow, and let her help you apply for a visa to go to Taiwan." ”
"Thank you, brother." Liu Jialing smiled at this time, ran back to the elevator and waved goodbye to Wang Zijun.
Wang Zijun walked out of the hotel surrounded by bodyguards, and his eyes caught a glimpse of a few sneaky guys in the shadows, and he didn't have to think that he was also a reporter for the gossip tabloids. I don't know if I was photographed getting out of the elevator with Liu Jialing just now, but Wang Zijun doesn't care how they write, anyway, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and it is not itchy if there are many lice.
The bright lights of Hong Kong at night flew out of the car window, and Wang Zijun's fingers tapped on the window boringly. This time, he came to Hong Kong to participate in Jiashi's celebration party and learn about the recent situation of Xinyi City, mainly to invest money in bars and nightclubs.
Lan Kwai Fong, which later became famous in Hong Kong, did not have bars at this time, but were all office buildings and old-fashioned tea restaurants. Lan Kwai Fong's father, Allan Zeman, is still selling clothes back and forth between Hong Kong and Canada, and he doesn't realize the big business opportunity of opening a bar.
In recent years, Hong Kong's rapid development, especially after the opening up of the mainland, Hong Kong's economy has fully recovered, and it is a thriving scene. As a cosmopolitan city, there are not a few bars in Hong Kong, and you know on your knees how much business opportunities there are.
Lan Kwai Fong's unique location makes it an excellent place to open bars and high-end restaurants.
Wang Zijun asked the driver to drive to Queen's Road, looked at the street scenery along the way through the car window, and after a few circles around the neighborhood, he determined his goal before returning to his villa in the mid-levels.
A few years later, Zeman first rented a store in Lan Kwai Fong to open a bar, and only after discovering that he was making money did he buy the entire building for 32 million Hong Kong dollars.
Wang Zijun naturally spent money to buy it directly, and the current housing prices in Lan Kwai Fong are not expensive, because the degree of development here is not high at this time. However, its potential value is huge, as it is only a block away from Queen's Road, the heart of Central, and it is very convenient for those petty bourgeois white-collar workers to come here after work.
Wang Zijun did not go to the matter of buying the building in person, and it was a woman who came forward - Manna, the proprietress of the Regal Hotel in Taipei. Manna's real name is Li Xue, Chen Qili's first love "Qingren", a dancer, and the Regal Hotel was developed in her hands.
However, Manna has not had a very good life in recent years, Chen Qili changed his surname after he was released from prison, in addition to desperately making money to support his family, he was taking care of his wife and children, and he had already cut off contact with Manna.
When poor Manna was imprisoned ten years ago, she waited for her man to come out, but in the end, it was such a result. insisted on managing the Regal Hotel for another two years, Manna left it alone, and when Wang Zijun developed the Maldives, the woman went to the Maldives to stay for more than half a year.
The reason why Wang Zijun suddenly thought of buying a house in Lan Kwai Fong and opening a bar and nightclub was also because of Manna.
After this woman came back from the Maldives, she suddenly ran to Wang Zijun some time ago and asked him if he had any way to find her a job in Hong Kong, and she wanted to leave that sad place in Taipei forever.
Wang Zijun scratched his ears and cheeks and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of any job suitable for Manna. This woman was born as a dancer, then as a mother, and finally as a hotel, is it possible to still go to the TV station? I'm afraid that all the actresses in the stage will be sold to her by then.
It's not good to refuse, after all, Manna is also an old man of the Bamboo Union Gang, and she used to take care of Wang Zijun, so it is impossible for him to refuse Manna's request for help.
After thinking about it, it's better to let Manna do her old job, buy a building and let her toss.
In the box of a nightclub, Wang Zijun and Manna sat opposite each other, and after cleaning up the waiter and escort girl, Wang Zijun said: "Sister Xue, opening a bar in Lan Kwai Fong is not as good as opening a hotel in Taipei." ”
"I know, to be elegant, to be emotional, right?" Manna smiled, "You Sister Xue and I have been mixed up for so many years, this is not clear?" The guests who came to that place were white-collar workers, and I knew how to fool them. It's just to create a superior atmosphere, an elegant environment. This kind of person is much easier to deal with than those who are officials and those who are on the road. ”
"Forget it, when I didn't say it, you get it." Wang Zijun immediately shut up.
The door of the private room suddenly opened, but it was Xiang Huaqiang in a suit and leather shoes who came in.
Manna wants to open bars and nightclubs in Hong Kong, so naturally she can't do without the people on the road, Wang Zijun came to Hong Kong this time to introduce Xiang Huaqiang to her. Not only Xiang Huaqiang, but also 14K people will be introduced to Manna.
It's just that 14K has now become a mess, and the biggest gang in Hong Kong ten years ago has long been much worse than before, and the various halls are not subordinate to each other, and there is infighting every three or five times. Wang Zijun can only find Chen Kehua, who lives in seclusion in Taipei, to help contact him, and find time to make an appointment with the 14K speaker on Queen's Road.
The most powerful Hong Kong community is undoubtedly Xin Yi'an, as long as he nods to Hua Qiang to protect people, Manna will not have any major incidents when she opens a bar in Hong Kong in the future.
"Sister Xue, this is Brother Qiang." Wang Zijun stood up and introduced to Huaqiang.
Manna also stood up calmly, stretched out her jade hand, and smiled, "Hello Brother Qiang." My name is Li Xue, you can also call me Manna in English. ”
Manna was dressed in luxury at this time, with a bee waist under her shoulders, and she walked like a snake body, her face was fresh and bewitching, and her coiled hair revealed the flavor of a mature woman.
Xiang Huaqiang's eyes lit up after seeing Manna, and the two didn't let go of their hands for a long time when they shook hands, until Manna gently pulled his hand hard, and Xiang Huaqiang reacted.
In this time and space, because Bruce Lee did not die, he and "Qingren" Ding Pei spent two years before breaking up. So Ding Pei didn't marry Xiang Huaqiang, and now Xiang Huaqiang is still single, but he keeps changing girlfriends.
As soon as Wang Zijun looked at Hua Qiang, he knew that this guy was moved. However, Manna is not a weak woman, and Wang Zijun is not worried that she will suffer at all.
Of course, if the two really hook up with each other, Wang Zijun is not qualified to point fingers, after all, Manna has already broken up with Chen Qili and is no longer his "sister-in-law".
"Miss Li is so beautiful, I'm fascinated." Xiang Hua emphatically said a sentence to hide the embarrassment of being stunned just now.
"Brother Qiang has won the award, I am an old woman, how can there be a young little sister who is beautiful." Manna laughed, uncovering the episode.
Xiang Huaqiang knew Manna's identity, and he knew that the hotel managed by this woman was the main source of money for the current Bamboo Union Gang in the most difficult period, so he didn't treat Manna as an ordinary woman.
When Wang Zijun asked him to take care of him, saying that Manna was going to open a bar in Lan Kwai Fong, Xiang Huaqiang immediately woke up, and he mistakenly thought that the Bamboo Union Gang was coming to Hong Kong to develop.
With a twitch of the corner of Xiang Huaqiang's eyes, Manna immediately guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, my little sister is tired of living in Taiwan this time, and she came to Hong Kong alone to develop." In the future, I will ask Brother Qiang to take care of it, and my little sister will do this cup first. ”
With that, Manna drank a large glass of liquor.
"Okay, happy!" Xiang Huaqiang cheered, and temporarily pressed the doubt in his heart, and followed Manna for a drink.
Wang Zijun talked about the idea of opening a bar in Lan Kwai Fong, which made Xiang Huaqiang suddenly brightened, and hurriedly said that he would also come to participate in one.
Wang Zijun didn't refuse, anyway, the business can't be done by one person, and he has already got the main building in Lan Kwai Fong. It only cost 28 million Hong Kong dollars, which is 4 million less than Zeman's purchase price a few years later.
When Manna opened a bar, Wang Zijun only symbolically invested 20% of the shares, and the rest of the money was Manna's own savings.
As long as Manna and Xiang Huaqiang's shop in Lan Kwai Fong becomes popular, there will naturally be discerning people who will come to invest, and high-end restaurants, disco dance halls, karaoke halls, etc., will spring up in Lan Kwai Fong.
At that time, Wang Zijun, who owns the entire building, is a big charter company, and he can open whatever he wants.
Seeing that Manna and Xiang Huaqiang were chatting energetically, Wang Zijun got up first and said goodbye, as for whether the two would roll together, he didn't care.
Out of the private room, Wang Zijun put on sunglasses and a hat and prepared to leave with the bodyguards, but when he passed through the hall, he heard a woman singing Xu Xiaofeng's song.
Wang Zijun couldn't help but turn around and look over, the singing voice was too unique, and he sang no worse than Xu Xiaofeng.
The lighting on the stage was not too good, and I could only see that it was a thin young girl singing. But Wang Zijun is familiar with that voice.
"Anita Mui?" Wang Zijun couldn't help but smile. recruited a waiter, took out more than a dozen 100 Hong Kong dollars, one gave the waiter a tip, and asked him to reward the singer on the stage with the rest.
By the time Anita Mui finished singing a song and the waiter took more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars and sent it to her, Wang Zijun had already disappeared.
"What a weirdo." Anita Mui muttered to herself and put away all the money. Her family is very poor now, and a few years ago, there was a fire in the family's song and dance troupe, and Anita Mui couldn't even afford to read.
Wang Zijun left the nightclub and returned to the villa, and it didn't take long for the bodyguard to walk in and whisper for a while.
Lee Kyung-ho is back!
It was Li Jinghao, who had been in the United States for a few months, and the first thing he said after entering the house was: "Sorry, I missed." ”
"Sit." Wang Zijun asked, "What is the situation now?" ”
Li Jinghao said: "I shot him, but it didn't hit the vital point." His bodyguards were very good, so I had to run away. But I smeared poison on the warhead, and the guy was paralyzed in the lower half of his body. ”
"Not exposed, right?" Wang Zijun asked.
"Nope." "After the crash, I stayed in Mexico for two weeks, then I went to Eastern Europe, and finally went to the Maldives with a tour group, then to Thailand, and finally back to Taipei, and I knew that you were in Hong Kong, so I followed and found a few villas to find here." ”
Wang Zijun couldn't help but want to laugh, this Li Jinghao is really cautious. Even if he was hung in the United States at that time, he traveled half the world, and through his strong makeup skills, he had already thrown off the stalker.
Lee Kyung-ho didn't shoot Victor. Morris killed him, but instead paralyzed the lower half of his body, Wang Zijun is very satisfied with this result.
Sometimes it's worse to be alive than dead, especially like Victor. Morris is a man who thinks highly of himself.
However, I hope this guy doesn't settle the account on his head, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable to play Yin again.
Li Jinghao left as soon as he reported the news, and with this departure, the employment relationship between them was completely over.
However, the cooperative relationship has just begun, and Lee Kyung-ho's old superior, Chun Doo-hwan, has already become the president of South Korea some time ago, and Lee Kyung-ho will also hold important positions in the army.
Chun Doo-hwan has a very open policy in the entertainment industry, and the only thing that makes Wang Zijun dissatisfied is that this guy will be more active in de-sinicization in South Korea in the next few years than Park Chung-hee.
