After Wu Mengda took over the play, the starring team of "Can't Help It" has been all gathered, and after Lin Xiaozhi calculated the cost, he found that to shoot "Can't Help It", not counting the advertising and promotion, the investment alone will almost need 26.7 million, although this movie does not need to sign multiple heroines like the previous play, but just the increase in the value of a few leading actors and directors will offset the advantages, not to mention the addition of a Wu Mengda.

According to his conservative calculations, after counting the publicity expenses, the cost of this movie may exceed more than three million, which is undoubtedly beyond the bottom line of Lin Xiaozhi's heart. So he personally met with He Fan and repeatedly explained to him that he must complete the filming of this film as soon as possible to save shooting costs as much as possible, and at the same time, the company will choose to control the publicity cost as much as possible to ensure that the total investment cost is controlled within 3 million.

originally thought that it would take some time to convince Wu Mengda, who almost took over the play after he showed his salary, which made Lin Xiaozhi once again realize that the Hong Kong film industry was different from what he knew.

Influenced by the mainland's treatment policy of triple X films in later generations and the remarks of the female star from Hong Kong and Taiwan who stripped naked and then put them back on, he has never been exposed to triple X film shooting, and subconsciously always sees triple X films such as erotic films as something that can't be put on the stage or is dirty inside. Think about it carefully, Zhou Yunfa, Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, Zhang Guorong, Ren Dahua, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, etc., almost all the first-line male and female superstars in Hong Kong and Taiwan have received three X films, and the names of many Hong Kong and Taiwan directors such as Mai Brothers, Wang Jing, Wen Jun, Zhu Yanping and others are forever engraved on the film director column.

What kind of magic can force them to do so? Lin Xiaozhi had an answer to this question after thinking about it carefully for a day, which was nothing more than 'fame and fortune'.

Yes, the adult film market is huge, and the erotic films that attract adult audiences to pay for the edges, dew points and plots are not high, the investment cost requirements are not high, the actors' fame requirements are not high, the director's ability requirements are not high, and the crew level requirements are not high, at least far from other types of movies such as martial arts, romance, adventure action, humor and horror and thriller, etc., have so high requirements for the actors' acting skills, script plot, directing skills and investment amount. Therefore, there will be a box office miracle in which many erotic films beat big investments and become the dark horse of the annual box office.

After figuring this out, the script selection problem that had plagued him for many days finally had no doubts, and Lin Xiaozhi quickly started to create a script that he remembered deeply.

September is fiery, and September is equally cold and unforgiving.

Although the Seoul Olympics are still trying to spread the fiery Olympic spirit to the whole world, the icy cold snap continues to come from Taiwan, and even freezes Hong Kong, the Asian financial center with the highest degree of capital freedom.

As the first of the four Asian tigers, Taiwan's economy has achieved an average high growth rate of 9% for 35 consecutive years, and in addition to the growth of wealth reserves, private income has also increased significantly. The salary income of residents on the island has grown rapidly, and the bonus and dividends at the end of the year are even more generous, and ordinary civil servants can receive an additional salary of 1 to 2 months at the end of the year; Workers in some ordinary industries can generally receive an extra 3 months' salary at the end of the year; In some monopoly industries, the year-end bonus amount is usually equivalent to 7 to 8 months' monthly salary; In those industries with rapid expansion, such as securities companies, the year-end bonus for employees is as high as 70 months, or even 100 months' monthly salary.

However, as many people know, there are only three provincial banks in Taiwan, namely the First Commercial Bank, the South China Commercial Bank, and the Changhua Commercial Bank, and the scarcity of banks and the lack of competition have resulted in the interest rate of Taiwan's banks always being very low, and residents have a large amount of idle funds in their hands, but they are unwilling to deposit in banks.

Taiwan's economy has taken off and grown rapidly, coupled with the expectation of the appreciation of the new Taiwan dollar, the ultra-high economic growth rate has made Taiwan one of the economic engines in Asia, and a large amount of overseas "hot money" has poured into the island, especially Hong Kong capital and Japanese capital, and the Taiwan people also have a large amount of idle funds in their hands, and Taiwan's land and real estate prices have increased several times in a short period of time for a while. This year, it can be said that the island is completely flooded with funds, with huge capital flows greedily looking for various investment opportunities, and the stock market has become the largest "reservoir."

In 1985, Taiwan's stock market was only 600 points, and this year, Taiwan's stock market has become 8789. 78 points. In just three or four years, it has skyrocketed nearly 15 times. The money-making effect of Taiwan's stock market has even turned many housewives into Mrs. Kuo.

It's just that no matter how beautiful the bubble is, it will burst one day, and this is the case with Taiwan's stock market today.

On September 24, with the announcement of the Taiwan Provincial Finance Minister Guo Wanrong at noon on Saturday that the tax on the securities tax would be resumed from New Year's Day in 1989, those who sold more than 3 million yuan of shares and had income should be included in the comprehensive tax declaration. The next day was the first day of trading after the holiday, the stock market plummeted 89 points, fell another 144 points on Tuesday, fell another 165 points on Wednesday, fell another 191 points on Thursday, and fell more than 210 points before the close on Friday, and fell nearly 800 points in five days.

“…… So far, our holdings of Formosa Plastics, Taiwan Cement, Changhua Commercial Bank, Cathay Life Insurance and other 17 stocks have all fallen, the highest decline is as high as 33%, conservative estimates, only in the past week, we have not only put all the gains of the past few months upside down, and even lost nearly NT$7 million, based on the latest exchange rate between NT$ and Hong Kong dollars, a loss of about HK$2.34 million......"

Lin Xiaoyi stood in Lin Jiannian's office of the Bank of Kowloon with his head bowed, and after reporting the situation, he waited silently. That handsome and extraordinary face was full of sickly pale at this time, full of decadence and loss.

Investment in Taiwan's stock market, which is soaring, is the first thing Lin Hsiao-yi has done since he joined the family business, the Kowloon Bank. And out of trust in his judgment, but also to cultivate him as the future successor of the family. Neither Lin Jiannian nor Lin Jili objected, but just took out the best people from the bank to help him, it can be said that the reason why the Kowloon Bank invested in the Taiwan stock market is now even more mired, with millions of losses, and now all the responsibility is borne by him.

Lin Jiannian sank into the boss's chair with a calm face, he did not blame his eldest son for his mistake, because it is inevitable to lose playing stocks, and the reason why he had a gloomy face was because the stock lost millions of Hong Kong dollars, which was almost equivalent to the net profit of their Kowloon Bank for two or three months. After the 87 stock market crash and run storm, Kowloon Bank, which has not been relieved, is now very low in profit, far below the average bank level. Second, his headache is that a huge amount of money as high as tens of millions of dollars has been trapped in the Taiwan stock market and cannot be withdrawn.

“…… I can't blame you all for this, recently your grandfather was caught in the 'Li Fuzhao case', and we have been running this matter. Nian Hui, can you tell me more about it......"

Looking at the eldest son who was depressed, Lin Jiannian came to his mouth and wanted to reprimand a few words, but he also swallowed it. He is a loving father in the end, if he can be a little stricter, I am afraid he will not teach a wealthy man like Lin Xiaozhi before.

"Yes...... Chairman! ”

In the room, it was not just the two of them, but there was also a man in a suit and leather shoes, with a pair of thick-bottomed eyes, who looked full of bookishness. He looks slightly older than Lin Xiaoyi, about thirty-three or fourteen years old, this person is named Song Nianhui, born in Hualien, Taiwan, went to the University of Chicago in the United States to study economics, after graduation worked at Merrill Lynch Securities for a year, and then was transferred to the Hong Kong headquarters of the Asia-Pacific region. After Lin Jiannian got acquainted with Song Nianhui at a job, he gave him a high salary and poached him to the Kowloon Bank, intending to set up the investment department of the Kowloon Bank. Who knew that less than a month after Song Nianhui came to the Bank of Kowloon, the stock market crash broke out, and the ensuing run almost destroyed the Bank of Kowloon.

“…… Judging from the current situation in Taiwan, it is easy to enter the market and difficult to exit, I have counted the data of the Taiwan stock market in the past few days, and the funds received in a week are only 8.3 billion Taiwan dollars, but the cumulative number of stocks sold is as high as more than 317 billion New Taiwan dollars, and the market has formed a strong short-selling group, so I can be sure that the decline of the Taiwan stock market will continue for a period of time until there is nothing to fall. ”

Lin Jiannian frowned, looked at him and asked, "Nian Hui, tell me your opinion, how long do you think Taiwan will fall?" What do we do now? The meat can't be cut, it's all selling now, there is no main force to take over, and our buying price is so high......"

"Chairman, you're exalting me too much." Song Nianhui raised his eyebrows, "On the Taiwan side, I personally think that it is likely that such a strong decline this week will continue for two or three weeks, but it should not exceed a month, and after a month, the stock market may rise slightly or even rebound sharply." This is because if the Taiwan authorities really do nothing, Li Huihui, who has just come to power, does not need the opposition of the people, and the pressure from the financial and business circles alone can bring him down...... As for what the bank should do, I have two suggestions, one conservative and the other risky, but I don't know which one Chairman Lu Dao will choose? ”

Song Nianhui looked at him with some expectation, he has been in Kowloon for almost a year, although his current income is fifty percent higher than when he was in Merrill Lynch, but Song Nianhui is not comfortable, he is still young, not suitable for staying in this kind of place for the elderly, he wants passion, pleasure, and exciting life, if the income can be higher, it will be more perfect.

“…… Seems like I'm not at the right time? ”

Just when Lin Jiannian was about to ask him what the two suggestions were, suddenly, a young male voice came from the door, Song Nianhui turned his face to look over, only to find that it was a young man he didn't know, and he was curious about who this person was, so he saw the man walk straight in, took out a check from his pocket, and placed it on the table in front of Lin Jiannian.

“…… Dad, don't mind if I disturb you for a few minutes. Give, thank you for the two million you lent me a few months ago, and thanks to its gift, it brought me more than five million in income. By the way, big brother, if you have time, give me the company seal you got for me last week or something, the new movie I invested in is about to start shooting, and I need to use them! ”

Yes, the person who came was Lin Xiaozhi.
