Volume 1 Chapter 320 Wenhua Hui (I)

Zhang Guozhong glanced at the time on his watch, looked up and urged his driver, "Old horse, can you drive faster?" ”

called him Lao Ma, but in fact, Lao Ma was not very old, just a man in his thirties and in the prime of life. Lao Ma's full name is Ma Jun, because he is half a fellow countryman with Zhang Guozhong, and he has been driving a car for five or six years. After all, Hong Kong is an extremely xenophobic free port with a large number of immigrants from other places, whether it is immigrants from the mainland from the north or immigrants from all over Southeast Asia, in order not to be bullied by locals, it is inevitable to huddle together with various geographical and linguistic ties.

Although he also understands what the boss thinks, Lao Ma is still very satisfied that he can drive for Zhang Guozhong. Although his boss is not rich, as the most famous manager in Hong Kong and the boss of the entertainment group, he deals with either Zhou Yunfa or a big star like Lau Dehua on weekdays, and he goes in and out of the entertainment industry drinking parties with a lot of pomp. In just a few years, Lao Ma has seen not five hundred but three hundred celebrities with the boss, and even some artists who are eager to climb Zhang Guozhong's relationship will occasionally invite him to a meal or stuff something.

Seeing his boss frowning slightly from the rearview mirror, and his mood didn't seem to be very good, Lao Ma was surprised, he had been with Zhang Guozhong for a few years, but he also knew that he was not a person who liked to put on a stand with others and lose his temper, but recently he often looked sad. Tempted in his heart, Yu Crisp asked: "Boss, isn't it still early?" There are speed limits on several roads here, and it's the fastest speed now......"

Of course, Zhang Guozhong knew that the time was still very early, but after hearing the sound and glancing at his watch at night, he lit a cigarette for himself restlessly, took a puff, closed his eyes and leaned on the back seat, but people couldn't guess what he was thinking.

After a while, I saw that he often spit out a puff of smoke rings, "Don't ask so much, let's hurry up." We had to be early before half past six......"

“… Okay" Lao Ma hesitated slightly, seeing Zhang Guozhong's resolute attitude. I stopped thinking about speeding tickets and immediately increased my speed.

A Cadillac Seville limousine slowly stopped in front of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel at No. 5 Road Central, Hong Kong, and the car had just stopped, and before the driver could speak, a strong man in a black suit sitting in the passenger seat took the lead in turning around and reminded the middle-aged man sitting in the back seat: "Chairman Li, it's time to be there"

"Have you arrived?"

Li Guoxing, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating all the time, suddenly opened his eyes and nodded slowly, "Let's go down"

"Yes"

The strong man who looked like a bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat immediately got out of the car, obviously preparing to open the door for him. However, someone moved faster than him, and it was difficult not to attract attention to such a striking luxury car parked here, and a hotel receptionist with the most active eyes had already walked over quickly and respectfully opened the car door for him.

"Welcome, sir"

"Hmmm......"

Li Guoxing took out a hundred Hong Kong dollars from his pocket expressionlessly and handed it to the waiter as a tip. He is a standard self-made man, and now the hundreds of millions of family property coefficients come from hard work, don't look at the sky-high price he can usually give tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in order to buy out a movie, but he is reluctant to spend money on himself, the media has exposed that he only adds two sets of suits and four pairs of leather shoes for himself a year, completely like an ordinary person, so for this kind of 'unspoken rules of the rich circle' where others reach out and he has to tip, this Meiya boss doesn't like it very much.

"Boss, then I'll go first. Call me when you're done and I'll pick you up."

When the door was about to close, the driver spoke. Li Guoxing nodded without looking back, and walked towards the hotel with his bodyguard.

"Welcome, sir, are you dining or ......?"

"Book an ......"

"Okay, please feel free to ......"

The two walked straight through the hall and got on the elevator, and just pressed it to go to the 13th floor, Li Guoxing suddenly seemed to remember something, and pressed the number 4 again, and then the elevator moved to the upper floor.

"Aaron, you can go to the restaurant on the fourth floor to eat first, and ...... on my account."

"It's good, Li Dong"

The elevator quickly stopped on the 4th floor, and after the strong man got off the elevator on the fourth floor, Li Guoxing did not stop, and immediately closed the elevator again and headed towards the 13th floor.

"What kind of medicine is sold in Lin Xiaozhi's gourd?"

There were no outsiders in the elevator, Li Guoxing's brows were furrowed, if there were others around him, he could clearly hear him with his eyes closed, and the muttering in his mouth full of doubts.

In June this year, the Indonesian government officially announced that it had begun to discuss the formulation of relevant bills to protect domestic films, in which some officials denounced the impact of Hong Kong films on Indonesia's domestic films, saying that legislation should be enacted to limit the amount of "Hong Kong films" introduced each year. Although there have been rumors from time to time in Indonesia in the past two years that the country wants to follow the example of the Philippines to protect its own films, Indonesian officials who have been friends with him in the past few months told him that the bill does not include measures to restrict the introduction of Hong Kong films, so Li Guoxing did not pay much attention to this matter. And now that the limelight is wrong, the Indonesian film industry is full of accusations condemning the hegemony of Hong Kong films, and Li Guoxing can't sit still.

Once Indonesia is working on a bill to protect its own films, it will really restrict the release of Hong Kong films like the Philippines. As the largest distributor of Hong Kong films, Meiya will bear the brunt of the impact. Although the Indonesian market is inferior to Singapore and Thailand in Southeast Asia, as the most populous country in Southeast Asia, there are still six or seven million Chinese in Indonesia, and Hong Kong films are still very marketable in the local area. Li Guoxing is naturally reluctant to give up the Indonesian market, he has been flying back and forth between Jakarta and Hong Kong in the past few months, and even when Lin Xiaozhi's new movie "Red Alert" was filmed, he could only talk to him about the distribution by phone, but several times Lin Xiaozhi was "not in a hurry, politely refused, so that Zhilu said that Lin Xiaozhi acquired Debao, and he began to wonder if he was ready to personally intervene in the Southeast Asian distribution market."

Under this scruples, he no longer had expectations for the release of Red Alert. Who would have thought that just last night, Lin Xiaozhi suddenly gave him a phone call, inviting him to come to a private dinner organized by him today, and even hinted at him on the phone, hoping that he would arrive early.

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, even he is confused.

Mandarin Oriental is a long-established five-star hotel in Hong Kong built by the British company Hongkong Land in its early years, with a restaurant and bar, 10 well-equipped meeting rooms, a spa, a gym and a beauty salon. For tonight's banquet, Lin Xiaozhi chartered the restaurant on the 13th floor, the service in the five-star hotel is really rigorous, after he euphemistically revealed that he didn't want others to disturb him, the hotel specially sent two waiters to stand at the elevator and staircase on the 13th floor, unless he was invited, the waiter would prevent anyone from entering the restaurant and affect them.

"Ding......

After a sound, the elevator stopped on the 13th floor, and Li Guoxing had just walked out of the restaurant when he saw a waiter coming over, "Hello sir, the restaurant on this floor has been privately chartered tonight, can you please say your name, let us see if it is a guest who has been invited?" ”

Li Guoxing nodded: "I am Li Guoxing who was invited to come"

Obviously, Lin Xiaozhi had already reported their information to the hotel, and the waiter recalled a little, and immediately confirmed that he was on the list of invited guests, and immediately respectfully gave up the aisle to invite him over.

"Sorry, please forgive me for the inconvenience. Mr. Lin is waiting for you over there......"

Without his reminder, Li Guoxing had already seen Lin Xiaozhi standing in front of the tempered glass window a few meters away, holding a wine glass and admiring the beautiful scenery of Victoria Bay not far away.

His eyes flickered for a moment, and he took a step.
