Chapter 195: Bestowal Ceremony

He Guanchang, who also has Fang Yihua's thoughts, saw that Xu Guanwu played a very good hand, and he didn't have to pay any money, he could get more than fifty percent of the dividends, which was simply an empty glove white wolf.

"Raymond, Stanley is really good at playing, and he doesn't have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars without a dime. turned around and was released in his theaters, and then divided more than half of the box office. He Guanchang exclaimed, "Coupled with the post-production, publicity costs, and the share of overseas distribution copyrights, he earns more than the producer." ”

"What's even harder is that he's making so much money, and the producer has to thank him. It's a real deal. Cai Changyong couldn't help but sigh.

"Here's the blame." He Guanchang shook his head and smiled, "Raymond, do you think we can do the same?" ”

Zou Wenhuai shook his head, "Their superstar manager company has talent reserves, Brilliant Cinema has vacant schedules, "Daily Daily" has a promotional page, Taiwan has partners, and North America also has cinema lines...... What do we have at Golden Harvest? Just a few blockbuster directors and blockbuster actors, all rented out, what do we shoot ourselves? ”

"Could it be that we can't even drink soup while watching people eat meat?" He Guanchang listened to Zou Wenhuai's lecture, and also realized the congenital deficiencies of his company, and couldn't help frowning and muttering.

"Now we just beg our people not to be poached by them." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said, "Ah Chang, you have been taking a closer look at the company's employees recently, if the contract is about to expire this year, immediately make an appointment to renew the contract, don't be poached by the Xu family." In addition, pay more attention to discovering new talents in Nanyang and Taiwan. Like the two leading actors in this year's hit movie "A Niu Enters the City", they are actually very haode examples. ”

"I see. Ramon. I'll send someone to take a closer look. Strive to discover more new stars. He Guanchang nodded.

Zou Wenhuai looked at Cai Changyong. After thinking for a while, he said, "Ah Cai, you pay more attention to the movements of the Xu family, and see if you can dig Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Zeng Zhiwei, Mai Jia and others over for me." ”

"Raymond, the salary given by the Xu family is very high, I'm afraid there is not enough bait to attract people." Cai Changyong scratched his head and said.

Xu is generous to his subordinate employees and is well-known in the circle. Not only does he have a fixed salary every month, but he also has a salary for filming. The box office is a big hit and red envelopes will be distributed, and the celebration banquet will be eaten non-stop all year round, that is, the lighting and props will be made, and the income is twice as high as that of other companies.

Not to mention the treatment of stars, directors, etc., net worth has always been a benchmark in the Hong Kong film industry.

"No matter how much the salary is, it will be rewarded by the boss," Zou Wenhuai said as he tapped the ashes, "You tell them that if anyone is willing to come over, I will give them money to open a company." I don't believe that those people are willing to work for others for the rest of their lives. ”

β€œhaode。 I try to try it as much as I can. Cai Changyong nodded.

Zou Wenhuai was very satisfied with his reaction and gave him an approving look. "By the way, is Warner ready to release the drama "Hejing Blood"?"

"It's done, it will be officially released on the 20th of this month." Cai Changyong smiled and said, "Raymond, you can rest assured, I think it will definitely achieve very good box office results." ”

"Yes, I hope so." Zou Wenhuai nodded.

……

Unbeknownst to Mr. Hui, Mr. Chow was planning to dig into his corners, had recently been busy making clothes for the Governor's Honours Ceremony, which would take place a few days later.

Justices of the Peace (JPs) have the supremacy among the people of Hong Kong, and in the early days, they were mostly held by local people of high moral standing and had the privilege of law and order, such as detaining criminals and sentencing them to prison.

Nowadays, most of the justices of the peace are donated by wealthy businessmen, and although they have lost the privilege of enforcing the law and adjudicating justice, they still retain the functions of supervising the government, inspecting prisons, detention centers and other places, and receiving complaints from prisoners.

Xu Guanwu donated this Justice of the Peace at the beginning, mainly to deter Huang Jinkai, and of course it did work. But now his potential opponent is a member of the Legislative Council.

The title of Justice of the Peace alone is a bit of a stretch.

This time to participate in the award ceremony, Xu Guanwu still made clothes from Guanqi dress.

The boss of Guanqi Costume was also inexplicably moved by Xu Guanwu's repeated support.

At the beginning, Xu Guanwu selected the Guanqi dress from many clothing companies and wore it to participate in the Academy Awards, so that this originally unknown company became known on the streets overnight, and became the object of many celebrities and wealthy businessmen, and its business volume soared nearly 100 times.

Everything depends on Xu Guanwu's help at the beginning, so Guanqi Dress is very grateful to him, and for the award ceremony that day, four sets of dresses were specially made for Xu Guanwu. Suits worn at the ceremony, casual suits at buffets, dresses at dinner parties, and casual clothes for dancing.

As for the clothes that his wife Zhao Yazhi was going to wear that day, they were all imported from Italy and designed and made by first-class costumers. But seven pieces of clothing cost 2 million Hong Kong dollars. At the time, it was a sky-high price.

……

On the day of the awarding ceremony, Xu Guanwu, Zhao Yazhi, her parents, and three brothers drove to the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion together.

The Governor's Mansion is where the Governor rests, receives guests, holds parties, etc., but not everyone can come in.

Although Xu Guanwu is already a billionaire, it is the first time he has entered the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, and he is not only a little curious.

At this moment, there are already many guests in the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, and it seems that they are either celebrities, gentry, dignitaries, or wealthy businessmen, in short, none of them are ordinary people. This is also a microcosm of Hong Kong Vanity Fair.

Xu Guanwu knew that there were six other people who were awarded the medal with him this year, all of whom were new and wealthy businessmen, and donated money to confer the medal in order to obtain the title of Justice of the Peace and then use it to become a member of the upper class.

With the economic boom of the 70s, a new group of wealthy businessmen emerged in Hong Kong, young and enterprising, but lacking connections and foundations. In order to expand their influence and expand their contacts, the new wealthy businessmen must get closer. And being elected as a Justice of the Peace gives them the capital to talk to the upper class.

The ceremony was held at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the Governor MacLehose came to the center on the red carpet to the sound of the military band, and gave a speech.

Xu Guanwu looked at the Hong Kong governor with his head held high, and his impression of him was not bad. MacLehose became the Governor of Hong Kong in 71 years and made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong's social and economic development.

During his four years in office, despite the stock market crash and the oil crisis in '73, Hong Kong's total trade value continued to increase year by year. He also promoted the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, promoted the construction of subways, promoted free education, built public rental housing, etc., and solved some problems in social and people's livelihood. It can be regarded as an official who does practical things and does good things.

Sir MacLehose gave an impassioned speech, which was interrupted several times by enthusiastic applause.

Xu Guanwu felt a little impatient, and stood next to him and muttered vigorously, "Send me the medal quickly, it's about to be dried fish." ”

After Sir MacLehose's speech, the award ceremony was announced.

The first item of the award ceremony was to pledge to the Queen of England that he would always be loyal to the Queen and serve the British Empire.

Of course, this is one of the means used by the British government in Hong Kong to win over and control the Chinese in Hong Kong.

Xu Guanwu never thought that today, he would swear allegiance to the portrait of the Empress Ying.

"Sister, brother is a Chinese born in the new century, growing up under the red flag, walking in the spring breeze!" Xu Guanwu muttered in his heart, while raising his right hand, "The sky is above, I'm just acting, although I say allegiance, but in fact, I really scold her in my heart!" There is a spirit in heaven, you must distinguish it, I am definitely not a traitor. ”

After taking the oath, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose personally awarded the Justice of the Peace medal, and Xu Guanwu also pinned a medal to his left chest, but it didn't look as good as he imagined.

In addition to the medal, each person also had a pair of ribbons with the words "Justice of the Peace xxx" written in Chinese and English.

"These two light fluttering things don't weigh a pound, and they cost me 20 million Hong Kong dollars." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but mutter, "No wonder it is said that the biggest black X will be the X Mansion that kills people without seeing blood." ”

Although Xu Guanwu was a little careless, his family was all excited, and as soon as the award ceremony ended, he dragged Xu Guanwu aside.

"Is this medal made of gold?" Dad held the medal in his hand and looked at it curiously.

"It can't be made of gold, I think it should be copper." Xu Guanwu pouted and said, "Pick the door, I donated so much money, and I refused to use gold to hit one, how many taels of gold can I use from you?" ”

"Don't be foolish, even if it's copper, it's worth more than gold." Dad rebuked.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Of course it's worth it, 20 million Hong Kong dollars, you can buy a building in Tsim Sha Tsui." ”

"You don't have a building as good as this, this medal is a stepping stone to high society." Xu Guanwen pointed at it and said, "Although we have money now, in the eyes of those real wealthy businessmen, we are just fish, shrimp and crabs." With this medal, the fish is not a fish, and it has the qualification to jump the dragon gate. ”

"What the eldest brother said is that with this thing, I will speak louder in the future." Xu Guanying smiled, "Second brother, if you don't want it, go back and lend it to me." ”

"Take it, take it, do you want to take this ribbon with you, and walk on the street with 100% of the insurance return rate." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Don't make a fuss, how can this thing be moved casually, go back and put it in the safe." Xu Guanjie reminded, "In the future, you will have to go to patrol regularly and irregularly, and if you lose it, it will be a trouble." ”

"What the fourth said is, it's almost finished, it's really going to be lost, and some have a headache." My mother also said worriedly.

Xu Guanwu obeyed, put away the medal and ribbon, and then enjoyed the buffet served by the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion with his family. (To be continued......)
