Chapter 220: The Royal Yacht Club of Hong Kong

The next day, Xu Guanwu sat around the table to eat.

Hu Yinmeng looked at Xu Guanwu and then at Zhao Yazhi, and couldn't help laughing.

"Laughing at what? Flowers on my face? Xu Guanwu asked strangely.

"No, I feel that the two of you husband and wife are like happy enemies written in the book, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, it's really like a play." Hu Yinmeng said with a smile.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "I'll just say it, in the future, the matter of the two of them will be solved by closing the door and solving it by yourself." You see that it makes people see jokes, don't you? ”

When Zhao Yazhi heard him say this, she couldn't help but glance at him in disgust, and then opened the newspaper and ignored him.

"Huh?! Yesterday's concert was so good that even "Sing Tao Daily" praised it. Zhao Yazhi said in surprise.

Although "Tiantian Daily" is Xu Guanwu's own newspaper, because the content is too down-to-earth and not high-end, it is only suitable for ordinary people to read. The middle-class family still likes to subscribe to newspapers with high-grade content such as "Sing Tao Daily", "Oriental Daily", "Overseas Chinese Daily", and "Ming Pao".

"Sing Tao Daily" was previously robbed of the title of the No. 1 newspaper circulation in Hong Kong by "Tian Tian Daily" and robbed a lot of advertisers, so it regarded "Tian Tian Daily" as a life and death enemy, and even all the businesses under Hui's were implicated.

Whether it is the release of its movies, or the release of records, artist performances, etc., it is all one-sided negative reports, which has caused a very bad impact.

However, whether it is a movie or a record of the Xu Brothers, it is a down-to-earth Riba person, so it is under the vigorous promotion of "Daily Daily". It can still attract ordinary people to the theater.

So Sing Tao Daily is only influencing a small group of the middle class. It will not have much impact on Xu's business.

However, today, "Sing Tao Daily" will give a positive report on Deng Lijun's concert. It was really unexpected by Xu Guanwu.

Is it because Deng Lijun's charm is too great? Or is it because "Sing Tao Daily" is inclined to Taiwan's political stance, so it is open to Deng Lijun, who was also born in Taiwan and has a special background in the military......

Xu Guanwu was cranky and puzzled, "Wait for you to finish reading, let me take a look." ”

"Give!" Zhao Yazhi heard him say this, and hurriedly handed him the newspaper.

Xu Guanwu took it and took a look, and saw that the headline on the front page read, "Unparalleled." Audio-visual feast! Last night, Deng Lijun's "Love Jun Like a Dream" Asian tour was the first stop, and the debut of Hong Kong Lee Stage started perfectly! ”

Looking at the title, it is already eye-catching, and there are different stage modeling pictures of Deng Lijun next to it, and the following content is even more exciting, all of which praise how sensational the concert is, how sweet the singing is, how amazing the shape is, how excited the fans are, etc., how can I not find the slightest flaw.

"Huh?! Has Sing Tao Daily changed its temper? It's all good things. Xu Guanwu said in surprise.

"Maybe the boss of "Sing Tao Daily" is a fan of Miss Deng Lijun." Zhao Yazhi guessed.

"Fans?! Probably. When Zhao Yazhi mentioned the word fans, Xu Guanwu didn't think of the boss of "Sing Tao Daily". It was Shen Bi, the general manager of HSBC, who was in the box yesterday.

"Could it be that he greeted Sing Tao Daily?" Xu Guanwu guessed that if it was Shen Bi who came out. Then it is not surprising that "Sing Tao Daily" changed the direction of the wind. After all, with HSBC's status in Hong Kong, "Sing Tao Daily" really didn't dare to refute his face.

After guessing wildly, Xu Guanwu couldn't guess the mystery, so he simply threw the newspaper aside and concentrated on eating his breakfast.

……

After breakfast, the three beauties still went to Shaw Brothers Studios to report, and Xu Guanwu took the car back to the company.

As soon as he entered the company, director Chu Yuan was waiting at the door, which surprised Xu Guanwu.

"Director Chu, come, come, please come in." Xu Guanwu hurriedly greeted, "Why are you waiting here so early?" The secretary is really, he didn't even call me to urge me. ”

"It's okay, Mr. Xu, I'm just idle and bored." Chu Yuan smiled and handed over the script in his hand again, "Mr. Xu, this is the script I revised according to the company's instructions, you can see if you need to revise it again." There is also a list of actors I drafted behind, and it is estimated that all of them will cost more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I attach the salary to the back. ”

"Okay, good, Director Chu, you are really fast." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "I'll keep this script first, and I'll review it at the seven-person group meeting later." ”

"In that case, then I'll go back first." Director Chu Yuan stood up and said.

Xu Guanwu got up and sent him out, "Director Chu, don't be in a hurry, things always have to come step by step." ”

"I see, Mr. Xu." Chu Yuan nodded and said.

After Xu Guanwu sent Chu Yuan away, he returned to the office to look at the script revised by Chu Yuan, this time he wrote it more smoothly than the last time, removing some of the complex and difficult storylines, and adding a little more plot explanation, making the storyline more understandable.

The list of actors in the appendix at the back, Xu Guanwu also read it carefully. See the list, Chu Yuan's Meng Xing Soul is played by Zong Hua, Gao Boss is played by Chen Ping, Xiao Fluttershy is played by Jing Li, Sun Yubo is played by Gu Feng, and Ritsu Xiangchuan is played by Yue Hua......

Xu Guanwu thought back to the actors recommended by Chu Yuan, and couldn't help but nod approvingly. Although these actors are not as famous as Di Long, Jiang Dawei, Fu Sheng, Wang Yu, etc., they are also famous movie stars of Shaw Brothers, and their net worth is relatively cheap, which belongs to the category of cheap and high-quality products.

As far as Yue Hua is concerned, he became famous in the 60s when he filmed "Journey to the West" as Sun Wukong, and then filmed the classic martial arts film "The Drunken Man" with director Hu Jinquan, and then cooperated with director Li Hanxiang in "Romance", etc., he is a prolific actor with both acting skills and fame. But his salary is only 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Cheng Long's salary has now reached 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is more than six times that of Yue Hua.

What's even more interesting is that when Yue Hua was filming "The Drunken Man", Cheng Long was still playing tricks in that film. Play as one of the little beggars. Now the little beggar who runs the trick has become a big star with a salary of 200,000 yuan. And the previous protagonist was still paid 30,000 yuan. It can only make people laugh in vain.

After Xu Guanwu read the script, he was about to tell the secretary to print a few copies and send them to the seven-person team for review. At this time, I saw the secretary walking in happily with a card, "Boss, someone just sent an invitation." ”

"Oh?! Show me. Xu Guanwu nodded.

took it and opened it to see, but it was an invitation from the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club to Xu Guanwu. Invite him to the yacht club for a party on Sunday afternoon.

"Okay, I see, you go down." Xu Guanwu looked at it, waved his hand and said, "Make a few more copies of this script, and then pass it to the members of the seven-person team." Remember, you can't leak it. ”

"I see, boss." The secretary nodded, picked up the script and walked out.

Xu Guanwu took turns with his ten fingers, tapping on the invitation. There was a hint of joy on his face.

"The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club! I didn't expect Shen Bi to be a good talker, and the invitation was sent so quickly. Xu Guanwu muttered softly.

Seventies. Hong Kong's colonial color is still very strong, and everything with the word "royal" seems to be shrouded in a lofty halo. Such as Fanling Royal Golf Course, Hong Kong Royal Jockey Club and so on. Just like the liquor, tea, and cigarettes in the mainland like to be crowned with the title of "special supply".

With a history of more than 120 years, the Royal Yacht Club of Hong Kong only accepts private members, and the membership qualifications are quite strict, not only if you have money, but also need to have a certain social status.

The current members of the Royal Yacht Club are all foreign executives, top tycoons and local celebrities and gentry in Hong Kong. It can really be said that there are celebrities who talk and laugh, and there is no vain exchange.

Xu Guanwu was invited by Zheng Yutong to play golf before, and he still took him to the Clear Water Bay Golf Course, but he couldn't go to the Deep Water Bay Golf Course, let alone the Fanling Royal Golf Course.

It can be seen that in the eyes of this top rich man in Hong Kong, Xu Guanwu is really not on the stage, just a nouveau riche with two bad money.

But the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that a few months later, Xu Guanwu would be able to enter the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, which is much more difficult to enter than the Fanling Royal Golf Course.

When it comes to yachts, Xu Guanwu is actually very uninterested in it, he can't even swim, he goes to the beach just to blow the sea breeze and bask in the sun. You're going to let him sail out on a yacht for sightseeing and fishing, and he'd rather lie down at home and sleep.

Today, however, Hong Kong's wealthy see yachts as an important tool for swaggering. What villas, bungalows, and luxury cars are not uncommon, on the contrary, the current trend is whose yacht is bigger, and who has the most face.

Before the ship king Bao Yugang and the boat king Dong Haoyun used yachts to fight for wealth, both of them thought that they were the first ship king of Shijie. Dong Haoyun bought the Queen Elizabeth large cruise ship and spent a huge amount of money to convert it into a maritime school, but unfortunately the cruise ship caught fire and sank into the sea. But Dong Haoyun was not discouraged, and bought the Atlantic luxury cruise ship again, and finally realized his dream of building a maritime university.

The son of Tung Ho-wan is the first chief executive of the Hong Kong SAR government - Mr. Tung Kin-wah!

Bao Yugang is slightly inferior in comparison, and he is not as heroic as Dong Haoyun, buying an 80,000-ton super cruise ship. But his private yacht is one of the most luxuriously furnished in Hong Kong, known as the Super Palace floating on the sea.

Compared with these flashy luxury goods that do not have much investment value, Xu Guanwu prefers to use money to smash a few office buildings.

At present, the housing prices in Hong Kong are far from high compared with the housing prices of millions and tens of millions in the future, and an office building with more than 20 floors is only 30 or 40 million Hong Kong dollars, but it may rise to more than 10 or 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in the next 20 years, and the growth potential is huge.

However, not everyone in Hong Kong has such a long-term view of financial management, and among these celebrities under Hui's family, few people spend money to hoard houses, but buy luxury cars and watches to show off their wealth.

The funniest thing is that Cheng Long, after getting the salary of "Serpentine Trickster", immediately went to buy seven diamond watches, which he wore on his wrist brightly, and he didn't wear any heavy ones from Monday to Sunday. made Xu Guanwu amazed by his local tyrant behavior.

Buying a luxury car is also the favorite thing of these celebrities now, Cheng Long specially bought a Japanese Mitsubishi sports car, and after the casual worker, he drove the car for a ride, so it was not chic.

Among the Shaw Brothers stars, there are also many people who buy luxury cars to show off their wealth, such as Yue Hua, Fu Sheng, Wang Yu, Liu Jiahui and others, all of whom are sports car enthusiasts and prefer to drag race together after work.

Fu Sheng was racing with Wang Yu and finally had a traffic accident, and a star who could have become popular returned to heaven. also indirectly caused Wang Yu to give up on himself, and finally quit the showbiz in disgrace.

Yue Hua, Liu Jiahui and others also like to buy luxury cars and wear beautiful shirts, but Zuihou regrets the absurd behavior of his youth when he recalls.

It is said that the property price at that time was only tens of thousands of yuan, if you didn't buy a sports car and stock up a few buildings, you would have been a mess now, and you don't need to come out to fight and die at all.

Xu Guanwu also once told his financial management scriptures to the people around him, but except for his sister-in-law Chen Jieying, who used the money to buy a house, everyone else didn't take it seriously.

Xu Guanwu chattered a few times, but when he saw that they couldn't listen, he had to keep his mouth shut. But he still used his own money to acquire shops and office buildings in Kowloon, Xinjie and other places, and waited to be the king of downtown Xiangjiang in the future. (To be continued......)
