Chapter 168: Golf (Collect)
When Xu Guanwu heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile, got up and walked to Zheng Yutong, "Since this is the case, then borrow Mr. Zheng's cue for use." ”
"Okay, but I'm very heavy on this club, so I don't know how to use it. Since you haven't played before, I'd suggest switching to a lighter club. Zheng Yutong said with a smile.
"It's okay, anyway, I'm not here to win, I'm just having fun, so why should I be so particular." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and took Zheng Yutong's cue.
"Mr. Xu, you want to be like this...... So...... In this way, you don't need to watch the ball, you can just swing hard. Zheng Yutong helped him adjust his posture and said.
Xu Guanwu accepted them one by one, and then swung out a shot vigorously according to the method introduced by Zheng Yutong!
"Wow! It's gone. Xu Guanwu built a pergola with his hand, and from a distance, the balls flew away without a trace, so far away!
……
"Mr. Xu, you didn't hit the ball." Zheng Yutong reminded with black lines on his head.
"Huh?! Sorry, do it again. Xu Guanwu was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly swung again.
……
The white golf ball still stood still, not moving.
"I can't beat you if I don't believe it." Xu Guanwu gritted his teeth and said.
"Mr. Xu, don't be in a hurry, take your time." Zheng Yutong said with a smile.
Xu Guanwu nodded, took a deep breath, rounded the club, and bang!
There was a crisp sound, and the golf ball on the ground was knocked out by him from a distance!
"Wow! It's so far! Zheng Yutong clapped his hands and smiled, "Mr. Xu is really extraordinary." ”
Xu Guanwu wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, smiled awkwardly, and swung seven times before hitting the ball, what is there to make an extraordinary shot.
"Mr. Zheng, I've drunk the juice and played the ball, it's time to get down to business." Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.
"Mr. Xu is very fast, well, it's been a long time since I've seen a young man like you." Zheng Yutong smiled and said, "To be honest, I want to buy your 20 properties." ”
"Hehe, that's true." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng, I haven't been short of money recently, and I won't sell those commercial office buildings." ”
"However, I heard that Mr. Xu, you have recently taken out a loan from HSBC." Zheng Yutong said with a smile.
Xu Guanwu looked at Zheng Yutong and found that his news was really well-informed. This matter should have been known to no one except HSBC, Leung Shuyi, eldest brother and himself.
I didn't expect Zheng Yutong to know, and sure enough, he has a close relationship with HSBC, and he can get hold of such trade secrets.
"Yes, there is. However, just because I'm taking out a loan doesn't mean I'm short of money. In fact, in two months, I'll have a lot of money coming in. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"Oh?! Mr. Xu is so sure, is it another blockbuster movie? Zheng Yutong asked with a smile.
Xu Guanwu nodded, "My film will be the highest-grossing movie of the year, and after two months, not only will I be able to pay off the loan, but I will also be able to have the funds to buy another twenty such commercial office buildings." ”
Zheng Yutong looked at him in surprise, if Xu Guanwu said so, wouldn't it have more than 100 million US dollars, so how high would the box office of that movie be?
Although Zheng Yutong doesn't understand how the box office of American movies is distributed, he also knows that if Xu Guanwu can get 100 million US dollars, then the total box office will be at least more than 200 million US dollars.
A movie sells for $200 million?!
Zheng Yutong couldn't help but be confused for a while, 200 million US dollars, and the total market value of his new Shijie real estate is just that.
What kind of movie will make so much money?!
"Mr. Xu, you're not kidding, are you?" Zheng Yutong asked with a smile.
"Of course not, am I bragging, the results will be revealed in two months." Xu Guanwu smiled confidently, "Thank you Mr. Zheng for your hospitality, the worries in my heart have been reduced a lot." That's all for today, farewell. ”
"This ......" Xu Guanwu's decisive departure greatly surprised Zheng Yutong's expectations, he wanted to explore it in depth, but he didn't expect Xu Guanwu to not give him a chance.
Syllable! Zheng Yutong threw the club on the ground.
He had previously learned from a secret source that the government was building a subway line, and then wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to buy the buildings along the subway line, especially around the subway exit.
In this way, when the subway is completed, the price of the buildings in the surrounding area will at least increase several times. And Xu Guanwu's twenty buildings immediately entered his eyes.
In Zheng Yutong's view, Xu Guanwu is just a young man who has taken shit luck, and he made a blockbuster movie unexpectedly, and immediately transformed from a penniless poor boy to a prosperous man in an instant.
However, for such a young man, Zheng Yutong didn't pay too much attention to it. In his opinion, most young people are not well-informed, especially the poor who are just getting rich, have no foundation, and do not let themselves be rounded and flattened.
But I didn't expect Xu Guanwu to refuse directly, and then leave very simply, which simply left Zheng Yutong with no room to play.
"Damn, I came across such a raw melon egg that is hard and soft and hard to eat." Zheng Yutong scolded and scolded.
……
Xu Guanwu left the Clear Water Bay Golf Course and took the car back to the company, thinking about Zheng Yutong all the way.
For rejecting his acquisition agreement, Xu Guanwu did not regret it at all.
The 20 commercial office buildings are all located in prosperous areas, and once Hong Kong's economy recovers, the price will immediately double. I don't have to worry about not making money at all.
Therefore, he was not interested in Zheng Yutong's acquisition, especially Zheng Yutong's invitation to Clear Water Bay Golf Course instead of Deep Water Bay Golf Course, although it was only a word difference, it also showed Zheng Yutong's contemptuous attitude towards Xu Guanwu. This made Xu Guanwu angry, even if he wanted to cooperate with Zheng Yutong before, he didn't have any interest now.
"You are not the only Chinese-funded real estate company in Hong Kong, Sun Hung Kai Properties and Cheung Kong will be better than you in the future. Why do I have to rush to work with you? Xu Guanwu sneered in his heart.
……
After returning to the company, Leung Shuyi came over to ask about the release of "Queen of Temple Street".
When this film was tested at midnight before, it caused an uproar, and was later severely criticized by many newspapers, making Xu Guanwu disgraced.
Now that it's time for the official release, Xu Guanwu can't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
To be honest, he didn't feel distressed about investing in filming movies, but he was obviously well-intentioned and wanted to support Hong Kong's film industry, but he was scolded by fans who didn't know the truth, which made Xu Guanwu a little discouraged.
If he knew that he would lose more than he would gain by doing this, Xu Guanwu would rather not invest.
Anyway, the life and death of Hong Kong movies don't do his business, and tens of thousands of people's jobs are smashed, what does it have to do with me?
"Serena, do you think the current environment is suitable for this movie?" Xu Guanwu asked hesitantly.
"There's no way, if it's not released again, then our art theater chain won't have a film released." Liang Shuyi said, "The film that is being released now has been on the air for a month and a half, and the attendance rate is less than 10%. We've lost a lot of money now. ”
"In that case, let's let this film be released." Xu Guanwu sighed, "I must have been eating at the time, and I had nothing to do with art theaters, but now I can't even get the source of the film." ”
"Hong Kong art films are not thriving in the first place, and if I can, I would recommend importing art films from France, Italy, the United States and other places. Their art films are not bad, and they can be used to cultivate Hong Kong audiences and indirectly enhance their tastes. Liang Shuyi suggested.
"That's a good idea, since that's the case, then you can arrange it." Xu Guanwu raised his hands in agreement.
……
"Queen of Temple Street" was then released in Yimei Cinema, but as expected, the box office was still so bleak that it was not good, and people did not appreciate this kind of movie about ordinary life, firewood, rice, oil and salt.
In their opinion, they are already living this kind of life, and they can see these things every day, so why spend money to go to the theater and sit for an hour and a half?
"The Queen of Temple Street" was screened for a week, and the attendance rate was less than 10% at the peak, so Xu Guanwu didn't even get back the capital.
However, the French art film that Leung Shuyi subsequently introduced made a lot of money at the box office, and its name was "Emmanuelle".
