Gu Dezhao's screenwriting talent is really incomprehensible, Lin Xiaozhi took an hour and a half to read this script, and it has been determined that this script is roughly the same as another movie that Gu Dezhao personally shot a few years later. It's just that some parts still look a little young and sluggish, and obviously the current Gu Dezhao is not as mature as he remembered when he created the script.

But in the end, Lin Xiaozhi still nodded and signed the script, anyway, he can also revise some problems and problems in the script. In order to win over this little fat man, the price he offered was the same as the previous "Water Margin Laughter" with Gao Zhisen's name, both of which were 200,000 plus 50,000 box office dividends. Even Gu Dezhao's request to participate in the filming as an assistant director in the crew, Lin Xiaozhi also nodded after a moment of silence and agreed.

If he wants to take charge of the guide tube now, it is definitely impossible for Lin Xiaozhi to agree, if he is still a little young. But Gu Dezhao is very knowledgeable as long as an assistant director participates in the shooting, this request is not excessive, which is why he readily agreed. As for who will shoot this movie, Lin Xiaozhi already has a suitable candidate in his heart.

Song Nianhui's unexpected failure made Lin Xiaozhi feel very incredible, he originally wanted to ask Song Nianhui how he could still stay in the Bank of Kowloon when his contract with the Bank of Kowloon had expired. But in the next few days, he didn't see Song Nianhui, not even a phone call.

When I met him again, it was almost a week after the two agreed on Lu, and the day before the release of "Friends".

"Very, very sorry, Lin Sheng......"

This morning, he had just come to his office to put down his briefcase, and Lin Xiaozhi was about to go out for breakfast, when his office door rang. As soon as he answered, Song Nianhui pushed the door in, his face was much uglier than a week ago, with a pair of heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Lin Xiaozhi was startled, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Song Sheng, what's wrong with you?" Why is your face so bad? ”

Song Nianhui squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and shook his head: "It's nothing, Lin Sheng." I'm really sorry, I made an appointment to come up and talk to you that day, but I encountered something and was delayed for so long."

Although he said that he was fine, no one would think that there was nothing wrong with this face and expression.

The stomach was rumbling for a while, and recently as Li Jiaxin's agent received a new movie called "Babujin" for her, Lin Xiaozhi, who had lost the care of others, became as irregular as before. Basically, he has no other life skills except for eating cup noodles, so he can only buy food outside.

"Song Sheng hasn't had breakfast yet, why don't we go out to eat something together and talk while eating."

His proposal made Song Nianhui shake his head, "No need, I don't have much appetite"

"Let's go, people are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry. Even if there are any troubles, you can't get along with your body. ”

After more than a year of exercise, although it was intermittent, Lin Xiaozhi's strength was much greater than that of Song Nianhui, who sat in the office every day, and Song Nianhui couldn't compete with him, so he could only be dragged downstairs by him, and called a taxi to go straight to a nearby breakfast shop selling Taiwanese snacks.

"Boss, come to a large portion of barbecued pork rice, give this gentleman a Changhua meatball, a fried oysters"

"Okay, please wait a minute, two guests"

Song Nianhui, who was not ready to order a meal at all, also ordered a breakfast, and Lin Xiaozhi, who took the brand, pulled him to the corner and sat down, and then asked curiously: "I said Song Sheng, what's wrong with you, not only is your face very bad, but you don't even seem to be in a good mood." Have you been in trouble lately? ”

He asked casually, and he didn't expect Song Nianhui to answer, after all, it might be because of some private matters in the family. So after finishing speaking, he didn't wait for him to answer, but opened his mouth again: "Song Sheng, if I remember correctly, the contract you signed with the Kowloon Bank should also expire." With your great talent, why do you still stay in Kowloon Bank, and go to those larger foreign banks, isn't it more conducive to your performance?"

"Lin Sheng, you look down on me too much"

Song Nianhui smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can I have any great talent, the last time I gambled on the Taiwan stock market, it was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse." If I really had the ability, I wouldn't end up like this."

As soon as these words fell, even Lin Xiaozhi restrained the smile on his face.

"Song Sheng, what's wrong?" Listening to his tone, it seemed that he had really encountered some trouble, and Lin Xiaozhi was not only curious.

Song Nianhui smiled bitterly, and it happened that the waiter brought a pot of tea at this time, and he poured himself a cup and held it in his hand to play, as if he didn't mean to speak. After waiting for a while before he could speak, Lin Xiaozhi was impatient, and was about to open his mouth when he heard him finally open his mouth.

"Lin Sheng is a noble person who forgets things, but do you remember that I went to New Asia to find you in May this year?"

As soon as he said this, Lin Xiaozhi also remembered. In May, Song Nianhui went to New Asia to find him, hoping to cooperate with him again and smash the RMB exchange rate together, but he was rejected.

Don't

Lin Xiaozhi was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Song Sheng, you won't really smash the RMB exchange rate, right?" ”

Song Nianhui nodded with a wry smile and shook his head, he was just about to speak, when he suddenly closed his mouth again. Lin Xiaozhi was curious, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and it turned out that the large portion of barbecued pork rice he ordered had been delivered. As for the Taiwanese breakfast he ordered for Song Nianhui, because it was more troublesome to make, it would take a while to get better.

As soon as the waiter left, Song Nianhui continued: "Yes and no, I contacted a lot of friends, and finally found a few who had the same idea, and then contacted a big boss to get some money, and worked together for more than half a month." It's a pity that from the United States to Japan to Southeast Asia to Taiwan, everyone is smashing the exchange rate of RMB, but the mainland's foreign exchange is only more, and we followed behind to drink some soup, I invested nearly two million Hong Kong dollars, and I only earned tens of thousands of yuan in half a month......"

Lin Xiaozhi silently took a piece of barbecued pork and took a bite, he knew how poor the mainland was these years. Not long after the reform and opening up, it is no exaggeration to say that the little foreign exchange on the mainland was all piled up by the blood and sweat of the people. Although Lin Xiaozhi loves money, he can't let him earn this kind of money. He is different from Song Nianhui, but it is filled with a native mainland turtle. Song Nianhui took nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars from his hometown when he gambled on Taiwan's stock market last year, most of which was the money of Taiwanese stockholders, but he grew up in a capitalist area and did not feel anything. It doesn't mean that when Lin Xiaozhi went to earn foreign exchange in the mainland, he didn't have any guilt, which was one of the reasons why he refused at the beginning.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Song Nianhui didn't care whether he heard it or not, and couldn't help pouring bitter water outside, "Later, when we saw that we couldn't make money, we stopped and left." It just so happened that after the storm broke out in Sijiu City, Hong Kong was full of news of a run on the mainland's state-owned banks. I summed it up with a few friends, and I was unwilling to stop playing, and when I took money from the big boss before, I also promised to help him make money. Later, after discussing it for a while, we threw all the money into the black market and made up the renminbi in the black market."

"What?"

Lin Xiaozhi glanced at him and his face was a little strange, but his family was in the bank in this life, and Lin Xiaozhi knew a little bit about the black market.

Since the Opium War was ceded by the British, Hong Kong has been one of the largest foreign exchange black markets in the Far East. More than 100 years ago, foreigners took advantage of the Qing Dynasty to implement the silver standard, but overseas was cheap and expensive, especially Britain, which had a large number of colonies, and its own country had a large number of silver mines, so they took the opportunity to take advantage of the exchange rate difference between the Qing Dynasty and the outside world, and shipped cheap silver from overseas into the mainland through Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, Wuhan and other places, and wantonly plundered China's gold, raw materials, minerals, antique calligraphy and paintings. Historically, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China also had several huge economic crises as a result, which eventually led to revolutions.

Soon after World War II, Jiang Guangtou was completely driven out of the mainland, the north of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains were red, rabbits imitated the experience of the woolly bear in the early years, not only recovered all the colonies of the mainland powers, but also supported Jiang Guangtou behind the strong attitude of the heavy, Britain also lost the ability to the mainland at that time, from the mainland to the south of the foreign banks almost all withdrawn to Hong Kong, but also made the city the largest foreign exchange black market in the Far East.

During the Cold War, when the capitalist powers imposed a complete blockade on the mainland's coast, and then the rabbit and the woolly bear, the two largest countries in the Red World, fell out, Hong Kong became one of the mainland's only windows to the outside world. In the following decades, the mainland, which has a weak background, needs to pass through Hong Kong if it wants to get the medicines and machinery it urgently needs from the outside, so the trading of RMB, Hong Kong dollars, gold, US dollars, and precious ores and raw materials has created Hong Kong, an international free port, and has also made it the number one foreign exchange black market in the world, especially after the reform and opening up.

Because of the blockade of the world, the rabbit does not have as many gold mines as the woolly bear, and the gold reserves in the forefront of the world are used to support the ruble, and as a result, the legal tender of the mainland has not been recognized by other countries, and even the neighboring Vietnam and North Korea do not recognize the yuan. Either barter or gold and dollars.

As the mainland's only window to the outside world, Hong Kong's special status has not been lost because of the mainland's reform and opening up. On the contrary, those ten years not only left a deep impression on the Chinese people around the world, but also on the whole world. Therefore, since the strategy of reform and opening up was determined in 78 years, it was inevitable that the 'communist' would be encountered in the past ten years, and once when foreign capital entered the mainland, 100% would choose to enter after injecting capital into the company in Hong Kong. In the past two years, this share has also been as high as nearly eighty percent. Hong Kong has almost become an outpost for foreign investment in the mainland.

"You engage in the black market and tinker with the renminbi?"

Lin Xiaozhi looked around, then lowered his voice and asked eagerly. He knows a little bit about this piece, he heard the old man mention it earlier, and the Lin family also bought and sold on the black market back then. In fact, not only the Lin family, but almost half of the banks and enterprises in Hong Kong have been tinkering with the black market, which is not a secret.

The renminbi on the mainland is not recognized by foreign countries, and can only be converted into Hong Kong dollars or US dollars for circulation in Hong Kong through a cumbersome calculation formula. In the early 80s, the mainland's self-proclaimed official exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and renminbi was I5 Hong Kong dollars to exchange for one yuan, but the black market ratio was two yuan to exchange for one Hong Kong dollar, as high as nearly 10 times the exchange rate difference. After 10 years of reform and opening up, the mainland, which has learned a lot of financial knowledge, has been adjusting the official hard exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the renminbi every year in recent years, and as of the outbreak of the storm this year, the official exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the renminbi has been changed to about the same amount: the black market exchange rate is 4 Hong Kong dollars to the renminbi l yuan, and the profits of the black market are already very low.
