Disneyland in California occupies a large area, and the amusement projects at night are also very exciting, if you want to have fun, it is best to stay in the park for a night, but Shen Chong has everything to do, and he can't afford to delay, so after having dinner in the park, he set off for the villa in Malibu.

"Brother-in-law." On the way back, Tianbao asked, "Disney is so fun, why doesn't Sister Qingxia like it?" ”

"She has something on her mind."

"Sister Qingxia is so beautiful, and she is a big star, she actually has something on her mind?"

"Big stars are people, too." Shen Chong held the steering wheel and said, "It's a human being, of course there will be something on your mind." ”

Tianbao was thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly sighed, said in an astonishing voice, and said, "Love is really troublesome. ”

Shen Chong glanced at her in surprise and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Sister Qingxia's heart must be for love." Tian Bao said matter-of-factly: "The news said that several people in Taiwan are chasing her, and today I saw Jackie Chan, plus my brother-in-law, so many people together, she must be distressed about which man to choose." ”

"You little girl." Shen Chong couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Could it be that love is to choose a man?" ”

"Of course." Tianbao said seriously: "When you fall in love, isn't it that a man chooses a woman, and a woman chooses a man, then holds hands, kisses him, and finally gets married, sleeps together, and has a child?" ”

Shen Chong was stunned when he heard this, and after half a sound, he said: "Since love is like this, what's the trouble?" ”

"Choose a man." Tianbao had an expression that you didn't understand, and said, "Sister Qingxia is so beautiful, and there are so many people chasing her, it's like ...... It's like choosing a gift in the store today, there are so many things, I can only choose one, so it's very troublesome and nerve-wracking. ”

Shen Chong laughed, teasing her with great interest and said, "Tianbao, if you are Sister Qingxia, who are you going to choose?" ”

"Jackie Chan, of course." Tianbao is obviously a brainless fan, and immediately said: "He knows kung fu, and he is very funny, how fun it is to be with him." ”

"But he's not handsome." Shen Chong stepped on the accelerator, followed Lily's car in front of him, and said, "Why don't you choose those two handsome guys surnamed Qin?" ”

"What's the use of a man being good-looking." Tianbao said as a matter of course: "When you get married, don't you write on the wedding card that you are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven?" Men should be talented, and women should be beautiful. ”

"What about me? Didn't you say that I also chased Sister Qingxia? ”

"Brother-in-law, forget it, I said it to you to save face." Tianbao disdained shì and said: "If you want to have talent or not, if you don't have good looks, why should you be chosen?" ”

Shen Chong was almost choked to death by her, and said angrily: "Am I that bad? ”

"The newspapers say that Qin Han and Qin Xianglin are creamy babies, just like ice cream, although sweet and greasy, it is very beautiful and delicious." Tianbao said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you are a fritter boy, you look crooked, greasy, and not delicious." ”

"Ghost girl......" Shen Chong was stunned, threatening her and said: "If I wasn't driving, I would definitely beat you, it's your brother-in-law, speak politely, or I won't take you to play tomorrow." ”

"It's not what I said, it's my sister who said it." Tianbao immediately brushed it off and said, "My sister said that she likes to eat fritters, even if she uses fried, she doesn't separate them. ”

In order to facilitate the opening of the party, the decoration of Shen Chong's villa adopts a minimalist style, dividing the first floor into four parts, a large living room with sea view, an open kitchen with a bar, a snooker room, and a small concert hall.

The second floor is the owner's private place, with four luxurious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a fully furnished office, a small private library, and two private storage rooms.

After taking a shower, Shen Chong wore pajamas, walked into the office, and started to work on the phone, he first listened to the message recording, remembered the call, and then dialed Li Kaiyuan's phone in New York, but it was not connected, and the line was busy, and it was estimated that Tianbao was talking to her sister on the phone.

Instead, I dialed HSBC Private Banking.

"Mr. Shen, you finally called back." It was Fei Litong who answered the phone, and he said quickly: "The price of gold futures in New York has broken through Ruo dollars per ounce, and it is time to sell." ”

"How much can I gain by selling at the current price?"

"If you only consider paper earnings, it's $7.4 billion." Fei Litong is very proficient in business, and he said: "But Mr. Shen, I suggest that you get rid of it as soon as possible, there is news in the market that the US government is ready to come forward to pre-gold prices." ”

Shen Chong didn't rush to answer, he flipped through the Wall Street Journal on the table, and then asked: "If the price of gold futures is $85o per ounce, how much is the profit?" ”

"$33.7 billion." Fei Litong persuaded again: "Mr. Shen, the current price is already very ideal, and it is very risky to wait." ”

In January 19Ru, in the spot market, gold was as high as 85o US dollars per ounce, and in the New York futures market, it was as high as 1ouu US dollars per ounce, but Shen Chong remembered these two numbers, but he couldn't remember which day, he thought about it, and felt that there was no need to take risks to deliberately pursue the maximum profit, so he said: "When the book income exceeds 300 million, sell it." ”

"But ......"

"Mr. Fei, let's do it." Shen Chong didn't want to dwell on this, because he couldn't understand this matter, so he changed the topic and asked, "Is Kadoorie relieved?" ”

"Not yet." "The Kadoorie family says they have been running the Repulse Bay Hotel for 60 years and have a deep affection for it. ”

"What kind of feelings do businessmen talk about, if the price is high enough, they are willing to sell the Peninsula Hotel, let alone the Repulse Bay Hotel." Shen Chong smiled and said: "Now that the Hong Kong property market is hot, the market in Repulse Bay is bullish, hold it in your hands, sit on the ground and start the price, even if I don't buy it, it won't be long before they will demolish and build a residential building." I raise the offer and continue talking. ”

"Okay."

"Is there any news on the TV station?"

"Hong Kong Commercial Radio responded very positively, Far Eastern Bank was very interested, but there were some objections to the investment of funds, and the rest, for the time being, there is no news."

"Burning 100 million a year is too extravagant for this group of old guys." Shen Chong laughed at himself: "In the end, they still don't trust my financial resources. ”

"As an investment advisor, I am very optimistic about Mr. Shen's long-term plans." Feliton lowered his voice and said, "But as a friend, Allen, in my personal opinion, your plan is indeed too extravagant. ”

"Isn't it just to burn the banknotes that human beings create zào?" Shen Chong laughed twice arrogantly and said, "Fei, thank you for your advice. Anything else? ”

After a meeting with Fei Litong and several other investment advisors for more than half an hour, Shen Chong put down the phone, leaned back in the comfortable chair, rested his legs on the desk, crossed his hands, and looked at the ceiling.

The futures market is very risky, Shen Chong in early October, with the idea of predicting the future and making steady profits, invested Ruo million dollars, and chose 1oo times the leverage, when the price of gold futures was close to 5oo dollars per ounce, after rising for a period of time, at the end of November, it suddenly fell to more than 3oo dollars per ounce, making him lose a lot of money, almost thinking that the butterfly wings were too powerful, and the trajectory of history has changed.

Fortunately, in December, as the Iranian hostage incident continued to ferment and the Soviet Union sent troops to Afghanistan, gold futures skyrocketed, climbing all the way up, repeatedly breaking historical highs, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

However, it is precisely because of the twists and turns that Shen Chong gave up the idea of continuing to invest in the futures market, too much risk is one reason, and the other reason is that if the money is not spent and converted into industry, it is just a number on paper, meaningless, and spending money is a very particular thing, he is just a person, his energy is limited, the foundation is shallow, and if there is too much surplus money on the books, it is easy to cause trouble.

Anyway, the money earned this time, plus the profits provided by its industry, is enough for him to spend lavishly for a year or two, and after a year or two, there are many opportunities to make money, so why eat all at once...... If it breaks down, it hurts your appetite, and the gains outweigh the losses.

As for the Repulse Bay Hotel, it was chosen by Shen Chong to build a flagship cinema

Repulse Bay is located in the south of Hong Kong Island, surrounded by mountains and seas, in the shape of a crescent, with a gentle slope and long beach, calm waves, clear water and fine sand, warm in winter and cool in summer, suitable water temperature, is a world-famous tourist resort, known as "the first bay in the world", and has the reputation of "Oriental Hawaii".

The Repulse Bay Hotel is located in the prime location of Repulse Bay, built in 19 years, is the property of the famous Jewish family of Hong Kong Kadoorie, and the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, is a very historic tourist hotel, has hosted many celebrities, such as Hemingway, George Bernard Shaw, Marlon Brando, etc., when the Spanish Crown Prince Carlos I and the Greek princess Sofia got married, they chose to spend their honeymoon in this hotel

This hotel has a lot to do with the movie, Zhang Ailing's novel "Love in a Fallen City", the hero and heroine met in the terrace restaurant of this hotel, in the 5o years, Hollywood filmed "Life and Death Love" here, and its starring William Horton is the star in "Sweet Honey", Li Xiaojun's aunt has a lifelong crush.

Although Repulse Bay Hotel has a glorious history, but after all, UU is old, the building is aging, the maintenance cost is very high, and the new high-end hotels in Hong Kong are emerging in an endless stream, and the competition pressure is very high, even if Shen Chong does not buy it, after two years, the Kadoorie family will demolish it and transform it into a luxury residential building.

There are many luxury residential buildings in Hong Kong, which is not rare, so Shen Chong plans to buy it and build it into a comprehensive cultural tourism venue integrating cinemas, film museums, film exhibition halls, Avenue of Stars and other film facilities, as the main venue of the Hong Kong International Film Festival and the Hong Kong Film Awards every year.

As for the TV station, it is more complicated, Shen Chong only has an eyebrow at present, and he is still far from the final result

Hong Kong Commercial Radio has a TV license, if Shen Chong wants it, he can take it for 5oo Hong Kong dollars, and the price can be negotiated......

But this license, there are many restrictions, such as only Chinese channels, science and education programs to be played in prime time at night, each shareholder's shares are only 15%, etc., with these tight spells, whether it is profitability or social influence, there is no future to speak of, so although everyone knows that the TV license is a good thing, but when Jiayi TV collapsed, there were so many rich people in Hong Kong, and none of them came to the rescue.

Shen Chong plans to gather a group of influential and powerful players who are interested in the TV station to form a consortium to unite and negotiate with the Hong Kong government to remove some of the restrictions in the license, and then reopen the TV station.

The TV station is the cradle of film talent training, and the collapse of Jiayi TV in 1978 released a large number of talents into the film industry, thus creating the new wave of Hong Kong films in 1979.

After the collapse of Jiayi TV Station, Li's TV was sluggish again, there was no competitive pressure, TVh immediately disbanded the film group, and since then, Hong Kong TV stations have never cultivated heavyweight directors such as Xu Anhua, Yan Hao, Tsui Hark, To Qifeng, etc......

The top three are at the same time, it is easier to prosper the market and cultivate talents than the two heroes compete for hegemony, this is Shen Chong's original intention of making great efforts to make Jiayi TV station reborn, if you only want to engage in TV station, you can wait for next year - Li's TV station will be sold in 1981, and its license is not a messy restrictive condition.

After thinking for a while, Shen Chong sat up again, dialed the phone number of the film company, the film magazine company and Qiu Siyu in turn, asked about the current situation, and then dialed Li Kaiyuan's phone again, but the line was still busy.

"This girl, it's almost 1o'clock, and she's still talking." Shen Chong looked at the time, stood up, and prepared to go to Tianbao to sleep.

Walking out of the office, Shen Chong inadvertently turned around and saw the light on in the library at the end of the corridor, and couldn't help but be stunned, who is still reading there at such a late hour?

The design of this library is very chic, in the shape of a triangle, the two walls behind it, there are thousands of books scattered in a patchwork, and the side facing the sea is a huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, while reading, you can overlook the clouds and sit and watch the ebb and flow of the tide, not so much a library, but a luxury observation deck.

Shen Chong walked in and saw Lin Qingxia wearing home clothes, sitting on the light-colored sand next to the glass curtain wall, with a book spread out on her knees, looking at the sea view.

Lin Qingxia heard the footsteps, looked back and saw that it was him, stood up and said hello, "Mr. Shen hasn't slept yet."

"Sister Qingxia, between friends, politeness hurts feelings." Seeing this, Shen Chong hurriedly motioned for her to sit down and said, "Be your own home, be at ease." What books to read? ”

"I'll take it casually." Lin Qingxia flipped the cover to him and said, "The Wisdom of Life." ”

"Oh, it's Schopenhauer's book."

"Has Mr. Shen seen it?"

"Nope." Shen Chong shook his head, he sat on another single sand, and said: "Ninety percent of the books in this library, I haven't read them, they are elegant and elegant, and they are just window dressings. ”

When Lin Qingxia heard this, she just smiled and didn't say anything.

"The beach under the moon." Shen Chong looked at the sea view outside the window and said, "It's beautiful, isn't it?" ”

"It's beautiful." Lin Qingxia looked up at the moon and said, "The moon is very round tonight. ”

"It's almost the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar." Shen Chong held the back of his head with both hands and said, "Lu Cong is white tonight, the moon is the hometown of Ming, Sister Qingxia, are you homesick?" ”

"Of course I want to, Mr. Shen doesn't want to?"

"Who doesn't want home?" Shen Chong thought of his past and present lives, sighed leisurely, and said, "But sometimes, I don't even know which home to think about. ”

Lin Qingxia misunderstood the meaning of his words, and looked at Shen Chong for a while with a pair of wonderful eyes before asking softly, "Mr. Shen, does Aijia know about you?" ”

"You mean I have two boats on my feet?" Shen Chong smiled and said, "Yes, she has always known."

Lin Qingxia's look of surprise was beyond words.

"Sister Qingxia." Shen Chong tilted his head sideways, glanced at her, and said, "Do you believe in love?" ”

"I don't know." This time it was Lin Qingxia's turn to sigh, and she said: "I believed it before, but now I can't say it clearly, what about you, Mr. Shen?" ”

Shen Chong didn't answer, but asked, "Have you ever seen electric welding?" ”

"Electric welding?" The jumping question made Lin Qingxia stunned, but she still replied: "Of course I did."

"I think that men and women in this world are all pieces of steel that must be welded together in order to be useful." Shen Chong put down his right arm, made a blooming motion with his fingers, and said: "Love is the clusters of sparks released when welding, very beautiful and dazzling, but they disappear quickly and fleetingly. ”

"Mr. Shen's idea is quite chic."

"It's not chic, it's the truth." Shen Chong put his hand on the back of his head again, and said: "You see, when welding, how brilliant, fire trees and silver flowers, and after welding, it is black, one in the east, one in the west, and there are scars everywhere, some can stand this scar, so they get together for a lifetime, and some people can't stand this scar, so they scatter it in two and find a new steel plate to weld again." ”

"So, you don't believe in love, do you?"

"Believe, how can you not believe." Shen Chong tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I just don't believe that love can last forever." ”

"So to speak." Talking about this, Lin Qingxia also let go, and she asked, "You and Aijia, will you be separated in the future?" ”

"We're welding right now, and we're sparkling." Shen Chong smiled and said, "As for what it will look like after welding, no one knows. ”

"Where's Tianbao's sister?"

"Me and her, it's basically welded." Shen Chong was silent for a while before he said, "If there is no accident, we will be together for the rest of our lives." ”

Lin Qingxia's eyes were confused, and she was silent for a while before she said, "It's better for you men." ”

"Sister Qingxia, what do you think of love?"

This night, the two talked for a long time, and the next morning, they both lost their spirits, which made Lily and Tempo suspicious.

Two days later, the heavy snow in New York finally stopped, the airport opened, Shen Chong took Tianbao, before going out of New York, handed Lin Qingxia a pile of manuscript paper, and said: "Sister Qingxia, this is a script I wrote, you can take a look, if you are interested, call me." ”
