After several rounds of painstaking negotiations, Standard Chartered and Citibank finally reached an agreement. Morgan personally came to Hong Kong, together with Gu Chen, under the attention of hundreds of reporters, to witness Duan Peiyuan and Grace? Ladier signed the agreement, which is the first time that global Chinese capital has entered the top three banks in the United States, which has attracted wide attention from the global media. Morgan also attended the signing ceremony in person, which was even more sought after by the media.

Needless to say, Gu Chen, Fürth? Morgan is now in his fifties, is the current head of the Morgan family, although because of antitrust laws, the Morgan consortium that once accounted for more than 50% of the total assets of the eight major consortia in the United States has fallen apart, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Morgan family is still a super family on a par with the Rockefeller family, but unlike the Rockefeller family's focus in the energy field, the Morgan family's focus is in the financial field, and the famous financial services company Morgan Stanley was founded by the Morgan family. It is still firmly controlled by the Morgan family. It was because of their strong position in the financial sector that the Morgan family, supported by the Stillman family, snatched the post of chairman of the board of directors of the bank, which was supposed to belong to the Rockefeller family.

Unceremoniously said Fürth? Morgan's influence in the world is no worse than Gu Chen's, and even in terms of heritage, Gu Chen is beyond his reach, so two business leaders standing on the same stage naturally attracted almost all the eyes and shots present.

And according to the agreement, after the agreement comes into force. Gu Chen will acquire a 13.58% stake in Citibank, surpassing the Stillman family to become Citibank's third largest shareholder. and a seat as an executive director. Citibank will also get 19.2% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, becoming the second largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank originally asked for an executive director seat, but Gu Chen refused, he can agree to sell shares, after all, the controlling stake is still in his hands, but it is different to let Citibank intervene in management. The capitalists in the United States are a bunch of vampires who eat people and don't spit out bones, and who knows if they will play any tricks in the future.

The two sides argued for a long time over this issue, and finally ended with Gu Chen's side making concessions in terms of share demands and cash compensation.

After the signing ceremony. Gu Chen specially held a celebration party, not only the senior executives of the two companies, but also Li Jiacheng and others were invited to participate, for these top richest people in Hong Kong. Fürth? Morgan was clearly interested. Although the two parties had not met before, they were no strangers to each other, and they didn't need Gu Chen's introduction, and they chatted together after a while......

March 2 is the day of the release of "The Legend of Shushan", the premiere was placed in Hong Kong, in order to help the film atmosphere, Shaw Brothers invited a large number of stars, relying on Shao Yifu's face. There are really a lot of celebrities, and the media is also extremely face-saving. The red carpet more than ten meters long is full of reporters on both sides, and of course, there are many fans and fans, and the presence of every star can cause a small high-tide.

The invited guests are almost here, Shao Yifu, who has not appeared in public for a long time, walked on the red carpet with the support of Fang Yihua, with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to the people on both sides from time to time, which shows that he is in a very good mood today.

Soon after, Gu Chen and Li Jiaxin also arrived at the scene together, the handsome man and the beautiful woman immediately caused the biggest commotion since the premiere began, under the illumination of the magnesium lights and the shouts of fans, Gu Chen and Li Jiaxin went on the red carpet, because the guests who should have come came, the time was almost up, everyone entered the cinema together, and the reporters outside also walked into the theater under the organization of the staff.

Seeing Shao Yifu sitting in the middle of the fourth row, which is the best place to see in the real screening room, Gu Chen walked over and sat next to him, and after a few words of greeting, Shao Yifu said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, I saw a report in the newspaper that Gu Sheng bought shares of Citibank, which is a big deal for the Hong Kong business community. Now the distance between us old guys and Gu Sheng is getting farther and farther away. ”

Gu Chen said modestly: "Sixth Uncle said that I was just opportunistic, and there is no comparison with you fighting the country step by step." ”

"Hehe, it's too modest." Shao Yifu smiled, and did not dwell on this issue, but changed the conversation and said: "I heard that Tang Dynasty Films plans to put the "Hulk" of Marvel Comics on the screen in the first half of the year, and it seems that Tang Dynasty will focus on comic adaptation in the future. ”

"The superheroes in the Marvel comics are in line with the personal heroism and values of Americans, and North America is the largest market for Hong Kong films, so adapting the comics is a good choice to cater to the market. However, the Tang Dynasty will adapt one or two films at most a year, and films with other themes will not be abandoned. After a pause, Gu Chen glanced at Shao Yifu: "Sixth Uncle seems to be quite interested in comic adaptation." ”

Shao Yifu didn't ink, and said directly: "I think "Wolverine" has the potential to be adapted into a movie, I don't know if Gu Sheng can cut his love?" ”

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to the adaptation of the comic into a movie, but after the release of "Iron Man", it caused a movie-watching boom but he was shocked, so he was also tempted, and before "Iron Man" could speak, he began to let the screenwriter of Shaw Brothers study the surprising comics.

He was not greedy, he did not choose comics such as "Spider-Man", "Captain America", "Hulk" and other comics with better sales, but only chose "Wolverine", which has a medium level of comic sales, with his understanding of Gu Chen, as long as he speaks, Gu Chen should agree.

Sure enough, as he thought, this kind of trivial matter Gu Chen really couldn't refuse, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Since the sixth uncle has spoken, naturally there is no problem, you can send someone to talk to the Marvel Comics about the relevant issues at any time, and I will order it over there." ”

"Hehe, this time I have to accept Gu Sheng's love again." Seeing Gu Chen agree, the smile on Shao Yifu's face suddenly became stronger, this time he did not propose to cooperate with Tang Dynasty films, and participated in the production of two large-scale Zuò movies, Shaw Brothers has accumulated enough experience, and he does not allow Shaw Brothers to rely on Tang Dynasty movies forever, this adaptation of "Wolverine" is a touchstone he prepared for Shaw Brothers......

When Gu Chen was chatting with Shao Yifu, Li Jiaxin and other main creative members of the crew were being interviewed by reporters, but almost all the reporters' attention was focused on Li Jiaxin, such a situation was not only expected by Li Jiaxin, but others were also mentally prepared.

"Miss Li, there is news that you have resigned as the chairman of the board of directors of Aimeigao Group, what is the reason for making you make such a decision, is it because of any change in your relationship with Chen Shao?" As soon as this question came out, the surrounding reporters immediately cast a disdainful glance at the reporter who asked the question, will you ask questions, don't you see how intimate people are holding hands, as if something has changed?

The reporter who asked the question also seemed to realize that the question he asked was a bit stupid, and touched his nose in embarrassment, but the words were all asked, where could he have changed.

I saw Li Jiaxin smile and said: "The reason for my resignation is actually very simple, the kind of office worker sitting in the office is not suitable for me, I still prefer to be an actor, and I will also devote my main energy to my acting career in the future, so I resigned from this position." ”

"A few days ago, Guan Zhilin just gave birth to a son for Chen Shao, I heard that Mrs. Liu is very happy, I wonder if Miss Li and Chen Shao have any plans to create people?"

This reporter only said that Guan Zhilin did not talk about Wang Guxian, obviously alluding to Guan Zhilin, who was just Gu Chen's lover like Li Jiaxin before. In fact, similar questions were asked by reporters as early as after Zhao Yazhi and Zhou Huimin gave birth, and Li Jiaxin's answer at that time was: I am just friends with Gu Chen. This time, Li Jiaxin didn't even bother to be perfunctory, and said directly: "I think you don't always ask these personal questions, you should pay more attention to the film itself, the interview is only ten minutes, and everyone will waste it." ”

Seeing that Li Jiaxin couldn't ask anything here, the reporter turned his target to Zheng Yijian. To say that Zheng Yijian, since taking over the filming of the "Crazy Boy" series of films, Zheng Yijian's star road can be described as smooth sailing, and now he is a first-line actor in Hong Kong with a bright future.

"Zheng Yijian, a few days ago, a reporter saw you and Li Zi dining in a restaurant in Causeway Bay, and then you went back to Li Zi's residence together, and you didn't leave until after 11 o'clock, which confirmed the rumors that you were dating before, when will you make your relationship public?"

seemed to have expected the reporter to ask this question, Zheng Yijian listened to the reporter's question with a calm expression, and then said with a smile: "Jiaxin was right just now, don't ask these personal questions today, the questions are related to the movie, I must know everything." ”

During the filming of "Crazy Boy 3: One Hand Covers the Sky", Zheng Yijian and Li Zi, who played the heroine, met and had a good impression of each other.

Both of them are very conservative people in terms of relationships (Zheng Yijian has been married for a total of 25 years from his debut in 1988 to 2013, and has only had three girlfriends in total, and each girlfriend has been dating for more than six years, not to mention the materialistic entertainment industry, I am afraid that it is difficult for many ordinary people to do this. Of course, there are still many single-minded men in the Hong Kong entertainment industry), they attach great importance to this relationship, and they don't want to be affected by the attention of the media and the public, at least at this stage, so the two have no public plans for the time being.

Seeing that the two topicals kept their mouths shut about personal matters, the reporters had no choice but to get back to business and return to today's topic. (To be continued......)
