On January 7, Hong Kong's authoritative financial newspaper "Hong Kong Economic Journal" was the first to disclose that Gu Chen had acquired Standard Chartered Bank, one of the two major note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, in a 'black warrior' posture (Bank of China only began to issue banknotes in Hong Kong in 1994), which immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

Since 1912, there have only been two note-issuing banks, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, and this pattern has not changed for more than 70 years. The British-backed HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank are also one of the symbols of British colonial rule in Hong Kong, and now such a bank has been acquired by a Hong Kong person, which has caused a sensation can be imagined.

On January 8, the new president of Standard Chartered Bank, Adrian? Latina held a press conference at the Peninsula Hotel, at which Adrien? Latin announced that Tang Dynasty Holdings will acquire a 26% stake in Standard Chartered Bank held by Standard Chartered Group at a price 30% above the market price.

Tang Dynasty's stake in Standard Chartered Bank rose to 78%. Within the next month, Tang Dynasty Holdings will restructure Standard Chartered Bank and move its headquarters to Hong Kong. At this point, Gu Chen's personal reputation has once again reached a peak, and countless Hong Kong people regard Gu Chen as the pride of Hong Kong.

First the previous trip to the UK, followed by the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, in just two years, Gu Chen has done countless things that his predecessors could not do, in the face of such dazzling achievements, no one can help but sing praises to Gu Chen, and no one can not help but be proud of Hong Kong having such a miracle as Gu Chen.

On this day, I don't know if it was a coincidence or deliberate, the News Affairs Department of Tang Dynasty Holdings issued an announcement on the recruitment of two Gu Chen's personal assistants.

In addition to academic qualifications. There are no hard and fast rules for the others, but there is one thing that everyone agrees on - the male will definitely lose the election, one is because Gu Chen's assistant is originally a woman. Gu Chen should have long been accustomed to having a woman as his assistant; Second, with Gu Chen's amorous personality, no one would believe that Gu Chen was willing to let a male assistant follow his ass all day long.

As soon as the announcement was released, it immediately made a lot of people moved, you must know that since Gu Chen debuted with music, his assistant has never changed in the past two years, and Ouyang Lan has grown with Gu Chen's status and wealth. He has also become the most well-known and highest-status assistant in Hong Kong.

I don't know how many people are red-eyed, but now that they finally heard that Gu Chen was going to change assistants, people with this or that thought immediately took action. On the first day alone, more than 100 resumes were submitted to Tang Dynasty Holdings, most of which were from Hong Kong, and some were from other countries and regions, and it is worth mentioning that the majority of these resumes were women. And some of the qualifications simply don't meet the requirements.

Gu Chen hasn't asked about the recruitment assistant since that day's conversation. All handed over to Ouyang Lan to deal with, if it wasn't for the recruitment announcement in the newspaper, he almost forgot that he was going to change assistants, he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he cleaned up the documents on the table that had not yet been processed, these documents were not in a hurry, he could save time and deal with them slowly.

At this time, his eldest brother rang loudly. When I picked it up, it was Zhang Guorong calling: "Why did Rong Shao remember to call me today?" ”

Zhang Guorong's hearty voice came from the other end of the phone: "Now you are a busy man." How dare you call you, I organized a party in the evening, do you have time? ”

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Even if you don't have time, you have to take time out of the party organized by Rong Shao, where is it?" In fact, he promised to accompany Qiu Shuzhen tonight, and he has not accompanied Qiu Shuzhen after returning from the UK for so many days. However, since Zhang Guorong called to invite, if he doesn't participate, it will inevitably make people think about him, thinking that he is putting on a score, which is not what he wants to see.

What's more, he can also take Qiu Shuzhen with him.

"Tonight at nine o'clock, old place."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Gu Chen and Qiu Shuzhen came to the seaside fishing house where they used to often gather, and at this time everyone else had already arrived, Zhang Guorong, Zhou Yanfa, Mei Yanfang, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Manyu, Guo Fucheng, Li Shu...... is still the same people who gathered in the past, and there was originally a Liu Dehua, but now that Liu Dehua is filming "Resident Evil", how can he have time to come here.

Now this small circle of less than ten people has become the core circle of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, in addition to the fact that everyone in this small circle is a figure with a certain status in the Hong Kong music or film industry, the most important thing is that this small circle also has Gu Chen.

Needless to say, Gu Chen's status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry or in Hong Kong is needless to say, being able to become a member of this small circle at least shows that he can talk to Gu Chen, I don't know how many people want it, but unfortunately this small circle has not added new members for more than a year, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to add new members in the future, which disappoints many people who want to join this circle and are close to Gu Chentao.

However, the more this is done, the more precious it becomes, so much so that being a member of this circle has gradually become a status symbol.

"The rich man is here, some time ago, I saw you waving dollars to enclose land in the UK, that is called a cool, I thought you would stop for a while when you returned to Hong Kong, but I didn't expect to buy Standard Chartered Bank in just a few days, do you say that I should deposit money in Standard Chartered Bank in the future."

Seeing Gu Chen appear, Zhang Guorong immediately ridiculed, among these people at the scene, Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui were the first to know Gu Chen, and the relationship was also the most ironclad, so although Gu Chen is no longer what it used to be, Zhang Guorong is still the same in front of Gu Chen as when he first met.

"Of course you welcome you to deposit in Standard Chartered Bank, but the interest will not increase." Gu Chen unceremoniously hit back at Zhang Guorong's ridicule.

Seeing that Zhang Guorong was about to speak again, Gu Chen took the first step and said: "Do you want to say that I am rich and unkind, please, can you change to something new, you said it last time." ”

"Hehehe......" Seeing Zhang Guorong's depressed appearance, Qiu Shuzhen next to Gu Chen immediately covered her mouth and laughed, and everyone else also showed smiles on their faces.

With the arrival of Gu Chen, the party officially began, in fact, the so-called party is that everyone gets together to play cards, play some games, chat, drink and eat, there is nothing special. No, as soon as they ate something, Zhang Guorong and Zhou Yanfa, who were good at drinking, shook their dice, looking at the two of them usually looking like dogs in front of people, especially Zhang Guorong, I don't know how many idols of boys and girls, but who would have thought that as soon as they drank, they would be like completely changing people, that active appearance, that loud voice is really impressive.

Of course, the people present were already surprised, and they each wanted to do whatever they wanted, and after losing another glass of wine, Zhang Guorong picked up the wine and said unwillingly: "It's a pity that Andy's kid didn't come today, otherwise he must be caught and drunk, and he dared to laugh at my poor drinking last time." ”

"Hurry up and drink, where is there so much nonsense, but Andy should really congratulate him on getting such a good opportunity this time, it is an investment of 60 million."

Zhang Guorong finished drinking and said: "Are you jealous, even you haven't made such a big-budget movie, Andy is in front." ”

"I'm not jealous yet, and I don't know what to do with the two over there." Zhou Yunfa gestured with his eyes to Li Shu and Guo Fucheng, who were playing cards with Zhang Manyu: "The three of them are now developing across film and music, and the music is almost the same, Andy is much ahead in terms of movies, and now Andy is the leading actor in "Resident Evil", and the gap will definitely be even greater when the film is released." ”

Zhang Guorong nodded thoughtfully, lowered his voice and said: "The relationship between the three of them is quite iron, and the competition in private is not small, this time it is estimated that Cheng Tsai and Ming Tsai are depressed enough, but Andy used to be a wireless five tiger general, and his acting skills are indeed much more mature than Cheng Tsai and Ming Tsai." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Guorong suddenly remembered the main purpose of organizing tonight's party, don't get drunk and delay the business, and hurriedly looked around, but found that Gu Chen was not in the hall on the first floor. Zhou Yanfa looked at him and asked, "You are looking for Ah Chen, I saw him go upstairs just now." ”

On the balcony on the second floor, Gu Chen, Qiu Shuzhen, Anita Mui and Zhong Chuhong gathered around a round table, chatting while eating snacks, chatting and chatting about Anita Mui and said one thing: "A few days ago, I attended an event with Xueyou, and he told me that his Polygram's contract expired in February today, I don't think he seems to be planning to renew his contract with Polygram, he should be interested in switching to Tang Dynasty Records, what do you think?" ”

Perhaps it is because the many singers of the Tang Dynasty record occupy too much public attention, Zhang Xueyou's development in the past two years can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, seeing that Guo Fucheng and Li Shu, who made their debut than him, have become superstar figures one by one, where can Zhang Xueyou still sit still.

"Xueyou's voice is quite distinctive, his singing skills are also good, and he is willing to work hard, he is a good seedling of singing, but Polygram has not fully tapped his potential, if you meet him, you can tell him that Tang Dynasty Records welcomes him at any time."

Zhang Xueyou is a real singer-level character, in Gu Chen's memory, Zhang Xueyou is the holder of the Chinese record sales record, such a powerful figure wants to join Tang Dynasty Records, Gu Chen has no reason to refuse. In fact, there are many singers in Hong Kong who want to join Tang Dynasty Records. After nearly two years of development, Tang Dynasty Records has surpassed Hong Kong Polygram to become the largest record company in Hong Kong, and is rapidly moving towards a bigger goal. Of course, this is not an easy task, the most lacking thing in Tang Dynasty records now is the heritage, it has been established for a short time, and it has too few music copyrights, so recently He Chaoqiong is brewing a plan.
