After dinner, Li Hualong and Yang Meng sat in the living room with their family and chatted for a while, and then they went upstairs to the bedroom.

"Mengmeng, tell you something." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Yang Meng asked with a smile and a little curiosity.

"Mengmeng, after the New Year, we will travel to the United States."

"Traveling to the United States, how did you think of traveling to the United States?" Yang Meng was puzzled.

"There's a magazine that wants to buy the Playboy logo."

“playboy？” Yang Meng was stunned when he heard this, "What magazine?" ”

"I've heard that there are mainly magazines that publish photos of beautiful women, and there are also magazines that introduce high-quality life."

"You're going to sell this trademark?"

"Nope. Playboy Clothing Company Hong Kong will continue to operate. I only want to license the trademark to this magazine, and at the same time, I also want to cooperate with the founder of this magazine and participate in the shares. ”

"How long does it take to go to the rice country?"

"Let's say it will take more than ten days, and the longest will not be more than a month."

"You've been away from Hong Kong for so long, aren't you worried about problems with the operation of your business?"

"I'm a little worried, so, I'm going to be busy in the next few days."

"Since you've decided, I'll accompany you to travel to the United States. You haven't told your parents about it yet, have you? ”

"No, I'll talk to them after dinner."

Li Yisong and Li Songshi were very surprised when they heard that Li Hualong and Yang Meng were going to travel to the United States, Li Yisong did not object, but supported it, he said that the United States is now the most developed country in the world, and it is good to go to the United States to see the world, while Li Song is worried that it is not safe for them to go abroad, and hopes that they will not go abroad.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll take a bodyguard to the United States. Also, dangerous places, I definitely won't go. Before dark, Meng Meng and I will go back to the hotel, be careful, there will be no danger. ”

On February 7, the fourth day of the first lunar month, Li Hualong and Yang Meng boarded a flight to Tokyo with a bodyguard, and they went to San Francisco and needed to transfer from Tokyo.

When the plane just took off, Yang Meng was a little nervous, and Li Hualong, who was sitting next to her, held her hand tightly and comforted her.

"Mengmeng, don't be afraid, in fact, it is safer to take a plane than a car."

"How is this possible?"

"The accident rate is higher when the car is driving than the airplane, but if the plane is in a major accident, it is difficult for the passengers to survive."

"Phew, good spirits, bad spirits."

"Don't talk about it." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Let's change the topic." ”

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Which country would you most like to visit?"

"I've never been abroad, so I don't know what's fun. However, I want to visit New York, Paris, and London. ”

"In the future, I will take you all over the world."

"Okay!" Yang Meng smiled, "Don't talk about playing." When we return to Hong Kong from the United States, you will take some time to write a few movie scripts, otherwise, Huayi Brothers' profits last year would not be so low. ”

"It's not low, I think it's quite high, there is no film company in Hong Kong with higher profits than us."

"Last year's profit was much lower than the year before."

"You can't compare like that. The competition last year was not as fierce as last year, and I didn't write a script last year, but I spent more time writing novels, and the novels were serialized in Ming Pao and published in volumes, and I got a good income. ”

"You don't think writing a movie script is more tiring than writing a novel, do you?"

"Not really. Listen to you, when I return to Hong Kong, no, I started writing movie scripts during my time in the United States. ”

"No!" Yang Meng shook his head with a smile and said, "When you arrive in the United States, don't worry about writing movie scripts, you can play with me!" ”

"Yes, wife!"

Including "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", a total of 7 films invested and filmed by Huayi Brothers Film Group were released in 1953, and each movie made money, one of which was called "A Thousand Miles to Find Relatives", which only earned 100,000 yuan, with a profit margin of less than 50%; "Emei Woman" has the highest profit margin, with 560%, and this movie with a cost of about 150,000 yuan has a profit of 840,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In the past year, Huayi Brothers' annual profit was 2.626 million Hong Kong dollars.

When they arrived in Tokyo, Li Hualong and the other three did not leave the airport, and they only had to wait for two hours before they could board a flight to San Francisco.

When they arrived in San Francisco and got off the plane, Li Hualong and the three of them took the airport bus to downtown San Francisco, they found a hotel that looked good, ate a little food, and then went back to the bedroom to sleep and fell jet lag.

The next day, Mr. Li used the hotel's phone number to contact the law firm he had served.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Meng asked, "Which law firm do we go to now?" ”

"yes." Li Hualong said with a smile, "Mengmeng, it seems that your English level has improved." ”

"I'm far worse than you. You say, I'm studying hard, when will I be able to speak English fluently like you. ”

"If you live in the United States and chat with the people of the United States more, I think with your intelligence, one month is enough."

"You don't have to live in the United States. There are also Mi Chinese people in Hong Kong, and there are even more British, and it is the same to talk to them more. ”

"That's right." Li Hualong nodded with a smile, "Let's go, let's call Shaojie (bodyguard) and go to the law firm together." ”

Three days later, Hugh Hefner was invited by Li Hualong to San Francisco.

After some conversation, Hugh Hefner knew that Li Hualong was far richer than he was, and that he could not buy the "playboy" trademark now, and he agreed to set up a joint venture with Li Hualong to publish "Playboy" magazine, and at the same time pay Li Hualong a dollar a year for trademark licensing.

The registered capital of the joint venture company is $100,000, Li Hualong provides $40,000, and Hugh Hefner provides $60,000, because Li Hualong does not participate in the management of the company, Hugh Hefner shares more shares, he takes 65 percent of the shares, and Li Hualong takes 35 percent of the shares.

When they left the United States and returned to Hong Kong, Li Hualong and the three still had to transfer planes from Tokyo.

"Mengmeng, when we get to Tokyo, let's not rush back, let's play in Tokyo for a few days now."

"Forget it, I want to go home early. When we're away from home, the family will definitely be worried. ”

"Oh well. Later, when I became super-rich, I bought a private jet so we could go around the world. ”

"There are many places in the world that don't have airports." Yang Meng smiled.

"I know. Hehe, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no problem in buying military helicopters. ”

"If you buy an airplane, I think it's better to buy a yacht. Traveling around the world by boat feels romantic. ”

"Huh!" Li Hualong smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have too little time with you......"

"Don't say that, I think our life is pretty good now, I'm 100% satisfied, if you're idle every day, I won't be able to adapt." Yang Meng smiled, changed the topic and asked, "When you return to Hong Kong, which company will you go to work in first?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, and when I get home, it's not too late to make a decision after making a few phone calls and understanding the situation."
