Standing by the window and watching the bus full of crew members leave the ATV building and drive to the airport, Qiu Degen glanced at Gu Chen who was standing next to him, and said with emotion: "Since taking over ATV, it is the first time that I know that it can be so troublesome to shoot a TV series. ”

Gu Chen's eyes were also fixed on the bus that was gradually moving away, and said lightly: "In fact, if the requirements are not too high, ATV's film and television city can barely meet the needs of the filming of "Huanzhu Gege". But in my opinion, whether it is Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay Film and Television City or ATV Film and Television City, the set used is too fake, I am like this, I can't rub sand in my eyes, if I can't do it, I won't force myself. ”

"Hehehe......" Qiu Degen laughed a few times, turned around and walked towards the sofa, and said: "To tell you the truth, when I went to the film and television city for the first time after I took over ATV, I went to the film and television city to inspect it, and my reaction at the time was similar to what you said, it was too fake, I doubted that people would watch the things filmed in this kind of place, and then I got used to it, it was a little fake, but the audience's requirements were not as high as imagined." ”

Gu Chen followed Qiu Degen back to the sofa and sat down, and said: "The audience's appreciation level cannot stay there forever, as time goes by, with the progress of society and culture, the audience's appreciation level will inevitably become higher and higher, on the contrary, ATV's film and television city has been built for so many years, and it has long been dilapidated if it is not properly maintained, it is better than Qingshuiwan Film and Television City, if it continues like this, I doubt that it can still be used after five years." ”

"I have already considered this problem, due to the early construction of ATV Film and Television City and low investment, not only is the architectural design too false, the area is too small, and after so many years, a large number of residential areas have already been built in the surrounding area, which vetoes the possibility of renovation and expansion of the film and television city. My idea is to sell the film and television city, and if there is a need for filming in the future, I will directly rent the Clear Water Bay Film and Television City. ”

Gu Chen said secretly, it sees, since he joined ATV Zhilu Dao ATV has its own film and television city, he has a question in his heart, because in his memory, Hong Kong only has Clear Water Bay Film and Television City and Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, both of which are owned by Shaw Brothers Films.

It turned out that ATV's film and television city was sold by Qiu Degen in the 80s, no wonder he has no memory.

"ATV Studios is really no longer able to meet the requirements of future filming, and selling it is the only option, and there is still a maintenance fee left."

Gu Chen agreed with Qiu Degen's idea of selling ATV Film and Television City, but did not comment on renting Qingshuiwan Film and Television City, but talked about another thing related to the film and television city: "I plan to invest in building a film and television city in Zhejiang, I don't know if Qiu Lao is interested?" ”

For Gu Chen, whether it is the current Clear Water Bay Film and Television City or the new Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City in the future, it gives people a sense of small family, compared with the mainland film and television city in his memory, which is not a magnificent city or an exquisite garden landscape, it is tantamount to being more than Xi Shi.

Qiu Degen looked at Gu Chen in surprise: "Ah Chen, how can you have such an idea?" Although he has a good relationship with the mainland government, he has not invested in any industry on the mainland, and at most he has donated money to build some infrastructure, which is also the practice of most Hong Kong tycoons.

The main reason for this is that they are worried that the mainland's policy will be unstable and that there will be repetitions, and that when the time comes, the money invested will be lost, not to mention that it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Hehehe......" Gu Chen smiled lightly and said: "The reason is very simple, I am very confident in the future and market of the mainland. ”

Hearing Gu Chen say so surely, Qiu Degen's gaze suddenly became a little more inexplicable, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the implementation of reform and opening up in the mainland, there has indeed been a lot of economic development, and all walks of life are gradually opening up, but as far as I know, not everyone at the top of the mainland supports reform and opening up, and no one can guarantee that there will be any repetition of policies in the future." ”

"However, from a personal point of view, after all, the mainland is the root of every China, perhaps people are old, and sometimes they even dream of the land where they lived when they were children, so within the scope of my ability, I am still very willing to donate funds to contribute to the development and construction of the mainland."

Although Qiu Degen did not say it explicitly, it was tantamount to rejecting Gu Chen's proposal, and he also tactfully persuaded Gu Chen to donate funds to help the development and construction of the mainland like him, in other words, to let Gu Chen be cautious in investing. In this regard, Gu Chen just smiled slightly and didn't say anything more. People who can reach the level of Qiu Degen have their own set of rules of conduct in their hearts, and unless your words are very convincing or you come up with strong evidence, it is difficult to get them to change their original intentions. But can he say that he told Qiu Degen that the mainland's reform and opening up will continue forever, and that in a few years the supreme leader will make a tour of the south, and then China's economy will be on the fast track of development?

Obviously not, not to mention that even if he said it, Qiu Degen would not believe it. In this case, why bother. Besides, it doesn't matter if Qiu Degen's head investment is not invested. In this era, I am afraid that no one knows better than him how shocking China's future is, how vast the market is, and investing in the film and television city is not only his layout of the film industry, but also a stepping stone for him to enter the mainland.

……

After leaving ATV, Gu Chen came to the Tang Dynasty Investment Company in the HSBC head office building, because he did not inform John Barroman in advance, so no one in the company knew that he was coming. In fact, the company is only a grassroots start-up now, and its main business is to speculate on yen, and other businesses, such as venture capital, futures speculation, etc., have not yet been launched, so there are not many employees, except for a front desk lady, two or three clerks, and the others are traders. So much so that although I rented an entire floor of office space from the head office of HSBC, it seemed empty.

Smiling and bowing to him, the front desk lady nodded, Gu Chen walked towards the company, all the way was deserted, not even a single employee was encountered, and he didn't see anyone when he came to John Barroman's office, so he had to walk towards an office not far away, he just pushed open the office door, and a choking smell of smoke immediately rushed to his face, and his vision was filled with white smoke.

"Oh, boss, you're here." John Barroman, who was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, walked towards him, but he quickly took two steps back, wiped away the smoke from the corners of his eyes, and then complained to John Barroman, who came out: "I said John, can't you just pay attention to the working environment." ”

John Barroman shrugged his shoulders apologetically and said, "You know that these guys often need to work all-night overtime, and smoking is an effective way for them to keep their spirits up, and I can't interfere. It's all for the good of the company, I know you can understand that. ”

Gu Chen saw a row of computers inside through the open door, and there was a person sitting in front of each computer, there were foreigners, and there were also yellow-skinned and black-haired oriental faces, these people were all the company's traders, and they were all young and experienced young men.

"Well, if that's how they work, I'll accept it, but as the boss of the company I have to take care of the health of every employee, and I highly recommend that you use coffee or green tea instead of cigarettes, I think it's just as good for a pick-me-up, don't you think?"

Seeing Gu Chen's insistence, John Barroman said helplessly: "I accept your proposal, in fact, I also think that cigarettes are not a good thing." Okay, I guess we can come to my office and talk. With that, the two went to John Barroman's office together.

John Barroman personally brewed two cups of coffee, one for himself to drink, and the other for Gu Chen, and then said: "This is the first time you have come to the company in the past week, although I shouldn't say that, but you are indeed not a qualified boss." ”

Gu Chen took a sip of coffee and said, "You know that I still have a lot of things to do, and I believe that you will be a very good manager." ”

John Barroman smiled and said, "Thank you for believing in me. Then he got up and walked over to pick up the landline on the desk and made a call, and after a while, the secretary walked in with a document, John Barroman took the document and handed it to Gu Chen, and said with a happy face: "This is last week's financial statements, everything is as we expected, the yen is still continuing to appreciate." ”

Gu Chen opened the document and looked at it, the company has been officially running for more than half a month, and the company has brought him rich returns in the first week alone, and this week is no exception, the "Plaza Accord" is still continuing to play a role, and the constantly lowering bank interest rates and the continuous opening of the financial market are also promoting the appreciation of the yen, so that at the same time, more and more hot money flows into the Japanese financial market.

The Nikkei index continues to hit new highs, almost as long as the money is invested in the stock market, the myth of getting rich has been staged repeatedly, and the direct result of this phenomenon is that more and more Japanese people put money into the stock market, and some people in order to raise more money to speculate in stocks to earn more money, take their real estate to the bank mortgage bank loan. The money from the stock market is then used to buy more properties, creating a cycle. This has also become an important reason for the continuous rise in real estate prices in Japan

In addition to real estate, various industries in Japan have grown rapidly, and everyone seems to be enjoying the benefits of Japan's economic development, such as the 'Hug You' concert that is currently underway in Japan.

Although even the ticket prices for the last row of the concert are as high as more than 8,000 yen, which is equivalent to about 400 Hong Kong dollars, the tickets for the concert are still in short supply, and on the black market, the tickets for the first few rows are even sold at a terrifying high price three or four times higher than the original price. Of course, this is due to the high popularity of Zhou Comin, Liu Dehua, Guo Fucheng and Li Shu in Japan, but the high consumption level of Japanese people is also a reason that cannot be ignored. It's hard to imagine that a person who spends all day worrying about how to support his family, how to eat and clothe himself would go to a concert.

According to the plan, Zhou Yimin and the four will hold eight concerts in many cities in Japan in a row, and after eight concerts, the tickets alone are enough to make the four singers and Tang Dynasty Records make a lot of money, no wonder so many singers like to hold concerts, and the money is fast.

Gu Chen closed the report, and a happy smile appeared on his face, and said: "This is just the beginning, the yen and the Japanese stock market will continue to rise in the next few years, maybe we can consider investing in the Japanese stock market and real estate, as long as the money is withdrawn in time when the economic bubble breaks, there is almost no risk." ”

John Barroman nodded in agreement and said, "Boss, you're right, in fact, I invested some of my money in the Japanese stock market the day before yesterday. As for real estate, perhaps we could consider acquiring a Japanese real estate company, which would be much more convenient. ”

Gu Chen thought for a while, and said: "Your idea is good, but you have to ensure that you can withdraw most of the funds at the end of September tomorrow, and early October at the latest, and I will be of great use at that time." ”
