Volume 1 Chapter 31 The Heavy Check

On Children's Day on June 1, although Lin Xiaozhi has long lost the word 'child', he does not have to go to work in the company on this day. Or not only does he not have to go for this day, but he also doesn't need to be busy from 9 to 5 for the next two days. He took three days off from the company, contacted the investment funds of the film, and by the way, he had to determine the actors and directors, which was not sloppy.

After finishing the washing, Lin Xiaozhi rubbed his still wet hair and went downstairs with his briefcase. Today he made an appointment with He Fan, the director of Hong Kong's erotic films, to meet at noon, although it was still early, but he was still going to wait for breakfast, go to ATV for a turn, and ask Ye Yuqing what he was doing over there. There is no turning back from the bow, and she is already preparing for the funds, in case she has any more emotions on her side, wouldn't it be all in vain, and she has to be fully prepared.

“…… Dad, regarding the investment direction of banks, Xiaoyi and I have recently studied a lot of industries. Since last year's stock market crash, all walks of life in Hong Kong have generally been sluggish, in addition to the property market rising against the trend, most of the securities, manufacturing, and retail sales have suffered losses, and it is not a good choice for us to invest in Hong Kong for the time being. ”

Lin Xiaozhi had just walked into the restaurant when he heard his father reporting the situation of the bank to the old man at the dinner table. He didn't bother the few people who were communicating seriously, and said hello to Fu Bo and the two women at the table, "Grandpa Fu is early, sister-in-law is early, Aunt Hua is so ......"

The two women sitting at the table, a little younger, with a delicate and handsome face, are naturally his sister-in-law Wang Xiaoman, the youngest daughter of Wang Xinfa, the 'King of New Territories Fruits', but it is said that Wang Xinfa has five daughters, of which the second son-in-law is even in the Wang family, and it will inevitably be another time in the future. Lin Xiaozhi is not familiar with her, and the relationship between the two in his memory is not salty, just like he is like everyone else in this family. Another older woman, Lin Xiaozhi's attitude is even more cold, in his memory he seems to rarely even say hello, and now his attitude is good, just because this beautiful woman who looks less than forty years old is his stepmother Chen Shaohua, the original gentleman's mind, a dangerous woman who is loving on the surface but insidious and cunning behind the scenes.

Lin Xiaozhi sat down straight and prepared to eat, Fu Bo didn't need his instructions, he had already recruited a servant, and ordered to prepare breakfast for him as usual, next to him, several backbones of the Lin family were still continuing their topic.

“…… In 1985, the size of Taiwan's securities market was not as large as that of Hong Kong, but by the end of last year it had surpassed that of Hong Kong, with about 3.2 million trading accounts and a total market value of 15 trillion Taiwan dollars. I asked a friend to help me inquire, and now the securities in Taiwan are still very profitable. So, Dad, I discussed it with Xiaoyi and decided to transfer 10 million Hong Kong dollars to invest in Taiwanese securities......"

Lin Xiaozhi listened with interest for a while, just to increase his knowledge. Stock investment or something, in the minds of many people, is mysterious and distant, no, he Lin is one of them. Although he also had some savings in his previous life, he mostly used them to invest in the property market and gold in second- and third-tier cities, and he really didn't know much about stocks, and he only remembered that there were two big stock market crashes that shocked the whole world in 97 and 08.

The old man is old but not conservative, otherwise he would not have spent a few decades to make a pawnshop big and become the current Kowloon Bank, not to mention that the Lin family also made some investments in securities to ensure the bank's profits. After listening to Lin Jiannian's father and son introduce him in detail for a while, he also felt that Taiwan securities can be invested now, but last year's stock market crash impressed him too deeply, and he put down the spoon after a little groaning, he only used a bowl of ginseng chicken soup or seafood soup every morning, after all, at his age, there are no big supplements to warm up the body, and those who are seriously ill have already come to the door.

"Now I have no opinion on investing in Taiwanese securities. However, I have received rumors that Taiwan is still deliberating on the new version of the "Amendment to the Securities and Exchange Law" this year. In the past two years, it has been rumored that Taiwan will reinstate the 'securities income tax', in case it will ......."

"Grandpa, does the Kuomintang still dare to risk the world's condemnation and force it through? Li Huihui, the new chairman of the Kuomintang, did not flaunt the 'people' as soon as he came to power. Lord, the 'securities tax' is not popular with the people, as long as he dares to push it out, Taiwan will definitely be in chaos, even if Li Huihui does not understand this, can a group of financial officials under him still not understand, they are all rice buckets? ”

Lin Xiaozhi glanced at the eldest brother sitting on the left hand side of the old man in surprise, Lin Xiaoyi's impression of him for most of the past half a month has always been gentle and elegant, he has never seen the eldest brother speak loudly, like today, he expressed his meaning resolutely at the dinner table, it was the first time he saw it.

Not only him, but obviously the old man didn't expect that his eldest grandson, who was most fanciful, would have such an assertive day. However, he was only slightly stunned, as if he was very satisfied with him, and nodded with a smile, "...... Okay, it's rare for you kid to come up with an idea, so you can just watch and do it. However, it was built in the year. Although Xiaoyi's proposal is very good, he is still a little younger after all, you stare more, what does he not understand, you teach more! ”

"Dad, I'll pay attention!"

The three of them exchanged for a while, and the old man quickly finished drinking the ginseng soup, and after putting down the bowl and spoon, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, but inadvertently saw Lin Xiaozhi's briefcase, and asked in surprise: "Xiaozhi, didn't you say you would rest last night?" Why did you wake up so early today? ”

Lin Xiaozhi's breakfast has been delivered, because of the rain a few days ago, there are no fresh tomatoes at home, so the tomato juice he likes has been replaced with fresh milk today. Fortunately, Lin Xiaozhi is not a picky eater, and he replied after a mouthful: "Some time ago, I took a script from a friend in the circle, and Xinya looked at it and felt that the script was okay and ready to be filmed, but ATV is now changing high-level shifts, and the funding for Xinya this year is not enough, so I discussed with the company and took a few days off to prepare to run the relationship to see if there are any friends around me who want to invest." By the way, Grandpa Fu, don't prepare my meal for the past two days, the leading actors and directors of the movie have not yet been determined, Xinya is now an empty shelf company, I have to run everything by myself, I have been eating out for the past few days! ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Lin Jiannian, and to his disappointment, his cheap father only frowned slightly, and he didn't even mean to speak.

"Isn't it, second brother, you want to make a movie?"

In the corner of the dining table, a young exclamation suddenly came out, and the one who spoke was a young man with long hair that was three or seven points full of ears, and looked like he was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, he stared at a pair of black-framed glasses on his face, and there was a small crying mole in the lower corner of his left eye.

The young man suddenly spoke, but Lin Xiaozhi did not look at him, a pair of scrutinizing eyes fell on the beautiful woman next to the young man, this young man is his third half-brother Lin Xiaogong, he was very smart and clever since he was a child, and he was deeply loved by his father. It's just that Lin Xiaozhi doesn't like him, as well as his mother. This pair of mothers are too scheming, judging from the memories left by that gentleman, he has suffered a lot from these two mothers in the past, and the price is that the old man and his father are more and more disliked.

"It's not sure for the time being, and the funds haven't been in place yet!" After taking a bite of the sandwich, Lin Xiaozhi replied, his voice was flat and short, "The movie will have a special director to supervise the shooting, and if the filming starts, I will have the identity of a producer at most!" ”

After that, he closed his mouth, as if he had no intention of speaking.

The old man was curious, "Movie? What movie? ”

"I'm Crazy for the Queen", a modern urban romance movie!"

Xu is Lin Xiaozhi's recent performance is good, so that the old man can see his changes, he asked a lot of questions, "I heard that the investment in movies is a lot ......"

"Old man, not every movie requires tens of millions of investments." Lin Xiaozhi had no choice but to put down the sandwich, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, looked at him and said: "Most movies only cost a few million to make, or even one or two million. For example, I am optimistic that the production cost of Lu's "I'm Crazy for Qing" will not exceed two million Hong Kong dollars......"

"How much are you missing?"

"About one million, Xinya promised to invest 500,000 plus post-film publicity, and I still have more than 100,000 ...... on me" He answered the old man's question seriously, and when the words fell, he was about to strike while the iron was hot, and asked the old man for one million euphemistically. Suddenly, a sentence came from the corner of the dining table, which made Lin Xiaozhi's face change color.

"A million? Second brother, you don't want to buy a new car again, do you? I heard that Lotus's Esprit III. is about to be listed, and the pre-order price in Hong Kong is 1.7 million Hong Kong dollars, do you want to buy a new sports car? ”

The sound was not loud but enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear clearly, and Lin Xiaozhi was the same. He turned his face, and his gaze stayed on Lin Xiaogong, the third child who had already lowered his head and continued to eat breakfast, for a while, he was really angry that this bastard boy had broken his own business, because two years ago, that gentleman seemed to have used the excuse of doing business to cheat a sum of money from his family to buy himself a luxury car. Lin Xiaogong suddenly said such an 'unintentional' sentence at this time, and suddenly the bad impression he left on several old people in the family had to come out again.

The scrutinizing gaze stayed on Lin Xiaogong for a while, and he was about to turn his face away, but suddenly saw the young man raise his head, his eyes full of smug and cunning. His face was cold, and he squinted and looked back and forth at him and Chen Shaohua beside him, thinking thoughtfully.

took a sip of the milk cup, and Lin Xiaozhi didn't argue with him. What that gentleman did, he couldn't find an excuse to refute. What's more, this matter is irrefutable, and the more he talks, the more it makes people seem to be quibbling, so he simply doesn't say a word and lets them decide to go.

However, Lin Xiaozhi was disappointed.

Since the third elder, Lin Xiaogong, suddenly opened his mouth and gave him a cold shot, the atmosphere on the dining table, which was originally quite good, suddenly became heavy. The old man and his cheap father, until the end of the dinner, although they did not question him, did not ask him about the movie again.

A depressing breakfast, Lin Xiaozhi was not the first to finish it, and he was indeed the first to leave the table. Because of a phone call during the meal, a maid came to inform him that a Miss Ye called him.

Hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth with a sip of milk, and left most of the sandwiches on the table, Lin Xiaozhi took two tissues and wiped his hands, then left the table to answer the phone next door, what made him feel a little better was that the owner of the phone was Ye Yuqing, and she also brought him a good news, "I didn't let you wait for a long time, Lin Shao, Qiu Yueqing moved her residence, recently ATV didn't arrange a scene for her, she picked up her old job again and started a photography model, and has been shooting advertisements for the Lisboa Hotel in Macau for half a month, I also found a lot of friends to get in touch with her. Today she went back to Hong Kong for a party, and I had already told her that I would go directly to her later......"

This is undoubtedly good news, after Lin Xiaozhi thanked her, the two chatted for about ten minutes, and made an appointment to wait for Lin Xiaozhi to drive to pick her up before hanging up the phone.

When he returned to the restaurant, only the eldest brother Lin Xiaoyi was still sitting there in the restaurant, as if waiting for him.

Seeing him coming, Lin Xiaoyi got up, walked over to him, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Don't be angry just now, how old is the third child, don't forget if he is ignorant and says the wrong thing!" ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, when he mentions this matter, Lin Xiaozhi remembered the cunning in the eyes of the bastard boy just now, but his face was silent in his heart, "I know that after all, I did it, so there's nothing to be angry about!" What about them, old man? ”

"Grandpa went to a party with a few card friends, Dad is going to the bank, there are a bunch of things over there, I will rush over soon." Lin Xiaoyi didn't seem to be angry when he saw him, and nodded with him with a smile, "We all see your recent performance, let's do it well, as long as you want to learn well, if you have any difficulties, tell your family, give, don't let your little mother know, it's your dad who gave it to you!" ”

He took out a check from his chest pocket and stuffed it into Lin Xiaozhi's hand, "Dad asked me to tell you, do it well......"

It was an HSBC cashier's check, not from its own Kowloon Bank. But he didn't care much about these, but it was the set of seven-digit numbers on the check that made Lin Xiaozhi's eyes widen for a moment, and the mouth that could speak well also lost its former agility.

HK$2,000,000!

That's two million, twice as much as he had hoped to get.

Seeing that he was stunned, Lin Xiaoyi patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

It wasn't until the footsteps faded away that Lin Xiaozhi came back to his senses, sat back in his seat silently, and stuffed the check into the small pocket on the left chest of the casual suit.

That heart is full of heaviness!
