After Zhao Yuzhi got out of the car, he saw Shao Tycoon and his henchmen, so he hurriedly went over and said hello: "Boss Shao, good afternoon Uncle Xiang." ”

Shao Tycoon nodded, smiled and walked in slowly. Zeng Xiang and Zhao Yuzhi followed behind him, and Gu Weiqi also got up from the window seat and slowly greeted him.

When he was still more than ten meters away from the other party, he took a closer look at Shao Daheng. I found that his cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones were high, and his forehead was very prominent, giving people a sense of forehead horns.

Gu Weiqi once saw it in a book, saying that the fortune teller once showed the Shao tycoon his appearance, and concluded that his body shape belonged to the best of the "crane-shaped bones", there is a way: born with crane bones is noble, calling for wind and rain has divine might, life is rich and famous, and he is rich even if he is not in officialdom. Sure enough, his life was famous and his wealth was numerous, especially when he lived for more than 100 years, which can be called legendary.

As far as he knew, Shao Daheng was the sixth in the family, so later generations called him "Sixth Uncle". It is rumored that he studied in his hometown of Zhuang City Ye's Zhongxing School in his early years, and Bao Yugang, Bao Congxing and other well-known people who later made a career were former and former classmates, and later went to the magic capital to study in the British school "YMCA Middle School" opened by the Chinese people, under the baptism and edification of new education, different from the pedantic and old, rigid and rigid private school curriculum, so that his vision suddenly opened up, and his thinking became much more advanced. And for this reason, I also practiced fluent English.

The Shao family was originally engaged in the bleaching and dyeing of pigments, so as to make a fortune. However, none of the many brothers of the Shao family inherited their father's business, and almost all of them entered the entertainment industry. Among the five brothers, the eldest brother, Shao Drunkard, after returning from study, founded the "Tianyi" film company in 1924 with enthusiasm and ambition, and began to break into the Chinese film industry that was still in the grass-roots period.

At the beginning of the establishment of "Tianyi", all of them were family members. The eldest Shao drunkard is a producer and director, the second Shao is good at screenwriting, the third Shao Renmei is good at distribution, and the sixth Shao Yifu is good at photography. At the beginning of the business, they worked together to complete all the work, and the company was like a family workshop.

After the first film he filmed, "Standing on the Ground to Become a Buddha", it was very popular with the citizens of the magic capital, and as a result, it made a lot of money. The Shao brothers rejoiced in the victory, and then new films continued to be launched from "Tianyi".

However, the good times did not last long, just when the business of "Tianyi" was booming, the brutal invasion of Xiao Yuben in 37 years disrupted the development process of the entire Shao Pictures. At that time, the Shao family could be said to be a dismal business, struggling to survive, and later it was even more difficult to sustain and was forced to close its doors.

Until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Shao Yifu, who was in his prime, once again had the idea of starting a career again. So he tried every way to revive the majesty of the Shao Pictures Kingdom. Especially after arriving in Xiangjiang, it coincided with the rapid development of Xiangjiang's economy at that time. After more than two years of preparation, Shao Brothers Co., Ltd. was finally established in 1958.

And it was during that time that Shao Daheng overrode public opinion and did not hesitate to invest heavily in building Shao's Cinema located in Clear Water Bay, Xiangjiang, covering an area of about 80,000 square feet. It took seven years to complete the project, and the scale of the studio was so large and magnificent that it could be compared with the Hollywood of the United States, and it was called the "Hollywood of the East" by the people of the time.

Of course, the most talked-about thing is the movie star system implemented by Shao Yifu in Xiangjiang in his early years, which created a large number of big stars, such as Hu Die, Ruan Lingyu, Li Lihua, Lin Dai, Ling Bo and so on. There are also the four famous directors Zhang Ce, Chu Yuan, Hu Jinquan, and Li Hanxiang. It is worth mentioning that the current "Jiahe" boss Wrinkle Wenhuai is from the Shao family.

It is no exaggeration to say that Shao Yifu has created a huge film empire. It's a pity that after entering the late 70s, Shao Daheng saw that the film company was declining, so he began to gradually reduce his plans to make films. The focus of resources has gradually shifted to the emerging TV industry, and the original Shao's film was officially discontinued in 2011 to concentrate on operating TVB.

Although the two are competitors now, Gu Weiqi also has to admire Shao Tycoon, because during his time at the helm of Shao's films, Shao's company has long dominated the Xiangjiang market, has shot more than 1,000 movies, and won dozens of awards such as the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award. At its peak, it is said that 1 million people visited his theater every day. Such a statistic is truly appalling.

In particular, the tycoon is said to be very dedicated. When I was young, I watched 9 films in one day and 700 films in one year. "I only sleep one hour at night, and the rest of the time is work," he said. In order to establish a good image of Shao's family, he strictly controls the quality of the film. When there are inferior films, they are often burned by hand, without mercy. He said: "In the early days, I burned films all day long, and there were no good scenes, so I would rather burn them. ”

In the face of such a tycoon, how can Gu Weiqi not admire?

Therefore, Gu Weiqi hurriedly took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Shao, I have admired your name for a long time. It is a great honor to be able to meet with Boss Shao today! ”

"Boss Gu is polite, I am very happy to be able to meet you, a young handsome man."

Shao Tycoon shook hands with Gu Weiqi, looked at him carefully, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this young man was born with a star portrait, especially a pair of eyes that are bright and bright, showing a full of spirit, no wonder he will be in the wind and water in less than a year, and after a thought, he pulled out his finger and pointed at Zhao Yuzhi and said: "This is our wireless pillar Miss Zhao Yuzhi, presumably there is no need for someone to introduce Boss Gu?" ”

"Haha, I know Miss Zhao."

Gu Weiqi smiled heartily and emphasized: "Especially the movies and television starring Miss Zhao, I basically pay attention to them. But now it seems that Miss Zhao is much more beautiful than on the screen. It's really better to be famous than to meet, and it's better to meet than to be famous. Hello Miss Zhao, my name is Gu Weiqi, it's a pleasure to meet you! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and looked at her carefully.

When Zhao Yuzhi came, he was still nervous, worried that Gu Weiqi was a pervert, and that he would make "excessive" requests. But now it seems that he is completely distracted, and he doesn't look like a pervert when he looks at the other party. The most important thing is that Gu Weiqi has an outstanding appearance, and when he saw it for the first time, he felt that he had a good impression.

Now that Gu Weiqi had stretched out his hand to her, he also stretched out his hand and chuckled reservedly: "Hello Boss Gu, I'm also very happy to know you!" ”

Gu Weiqi held her hand, only to feel soft, smooth and delicate, like a baby, which made people feel very comfortable. But now that everyone is watching, especially when Shao Tycoon is still beside him, he is naturally embarrassed to hold it all the time, so he reluctantly let go, and gestured and said: "Boss Shao, Miss Zhao, a few please." If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly. ”

So a few people came to the table that Gu Weiqi asked for and sat down. As for the order, he didn't make the decision, after all, it was the tycoon who wanted to invite him to tea, and if he was in charge, it would be a bit anti-customer-oriented, and it would definitely be inappropriate to do so. However, although Shao Daheng said that he was more meticulous in film production, he invited Gu Weiqi to drink tea at this time, but he very generously ordered a pot of good tea and more than a dozen valuable snacks and desserts.

Gu Weiqi unceremoniously ate a steamed bun with crab roe noodles, took a sip of tea before looking at Shao Tycoon and said, "Boss Shao, I think there must be something important when you ask me out for tea today, right?" If there's anything you can say, I'm a straightforward person who doesn't like to beat around the bush. ”

"Can't help it?" Shao Tycoon glanced at Gu Weiqi, took a sip of tea, put down the cup, picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then slowly said, "That...... Shao someone said it bluntly. ”

Gu Weiqi nodded and said, "Gu is listening." ”

Zhao Yuzhi saw that the two were about to talk about business, and he was afraid that it was not appropriate to listen to it, so he stood up and said, "I'm sorry, you guys are talking, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Both of them nodded, and Shao Tycoon continued: "I want to cooperate with Boss Gu to make a movie together, I don't know what Boss Gu thinks?" ”

"Cooperation?"

Gu Weiqi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the Shao tycoon, who was full of talents whether it was Shao's or Wireless, would actually propose cooperation to himself, which was really beyond his expectations, and when he thought about the ossification of the Shao's system, the profits of the films filmed became less and less, and the entire Shao's kingdom was declining, plus Wireless had its own "Phoenix" and the "Asian Television" helmed by Qiu Degeng, the boss of the Far Eastern Bank, and the other party was in the ring.

Thinking about it this way, it is no wonder that the dignified Shao tycoon would not hesitate to condescend to the noble, personally invite himself to drink tea, and put forward the intention of cooperation. However, now that "Donglai Company" has abundant funds, and has slowly embarked on a formal and high-speed development period, there is no need to cooperate with each other.

If the other party cooperated with him when the "Donglai Company" had just opened, he would have agreed without hesitation. After all, at that time, Gu Weiqi said that he was not short of money. But there is a shortage of professional talents in front of and behind the scenes, studios, etc. It's just that Shao Yifu, as a movie tycoon of the Xiangjiang generation, made this request to himself, and if he didn't agree, it seemed to be a bit faceless.

Therefore, Gu Weiqi hesitated and hesitated.

Shao Tycoon was not in a hurry, and stared at him stunned while slowly drinking tea. To be honest, he was really afraid that Gu Weiqi would refuse, and now Shao's Pictures Company, and even the "Oriental Charm" he quietly opened have been targeted by the bosses behind "Jiahe" and "Xin Yicheng", Fu Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, and he is now more than willing to deal with these two companies, relying on his own strength is already more than enough.

At present, only by joining forces with Gu Weiqi's "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" can we have the opportunity to suppress these two companies and let out a bad breath. However, if Gu Weiqi refused, there was nothing he could do. After all, the general trend of this young man has gradually developed, and he is not an artist of his own company, so it is impossible to ban and hide it like he treats the stars of his own company.

What's more important is that it is rumored that the other party is now worth a lot of money, not to mention the identity of an entertainer, he is still a rich man with strong financial resources. But he believed that if Gu Weiqi was smart enough, he would definitely agree to him. After all, it is still very beneficial for both parties to join forces. If he doesn't agree, then it will be tantamount to offending him, which will definitely be detrimental to the future development of Donglai Company.

However, Gu Weiqi did not agree to what Shao Tycoon expected, but after weighing the pros and cons, he asked: "I don't know what kind of cooperation method Boss Shao said?" Please also ask Boss Shao to say bluntly, if it is beneficial to my company, I don't mind cooperating with Boss Shao to give it a try. ”

Shao Tycoon couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, but this is also normal. After all, it was impossible to make him make a request, so Gu Weiqi immediately agreed. At the very least, we should talk about the conditions and then decide whether to agree or not. No one is stupid these days, as the so-called world is bustling for profit, and no one will do thankless things without profit.
