After Su Jingxian took over Zheng Kee, in addition to the real estate of the workshop and factory, the most coveted thing is the current assets on the company's books, nearly 2 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the entire family foundation of the two brothers of the Zheng family who have worked hard for more than 20 years.

In Hong Kong in the 50s, a large bowl of beef brisket rice cost five cents, and one dollar could buy 20 catties of brown rice.

China Hong Kong Daily and Playboy together, compared with Zheng Ji, Su Jingxian, who won Zheng Ji, can be called a thunderclap on the ground, steep and rich, and truly ranks among the 'rich people'.

But the money came quickly, and it was spent faster.

Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong.

The Englishman Jian Lianshi sat at his desk, carefully studying the registered cheque in his hand, and Su Jingxian sat across the desk, smiling.

"My friend Thompson Sr. called me to tell me that Playboy wasn't selling well in the U.S., and he was even worried that his son would be fired by you." Jian Lianshi put down the check, looked at Su Jingxian and said, "But it doesn't seem to be that way now." ”

The cheque placed on the table by Jian Lianshi, with the words 'British Hong Kong Huangpu HSBC' written vertically on the left side, and the amount column indicated 1 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be withdrawn by the cheque, only in Hong Kong.

"The Chinese have a saying that horses have no night grass and no fat, and people have no windfall and no wealth, and they have recently made a windfall." Su Jingxian smiled and said to Jian Lianshi, "I am very optimistic about the prospects of Playboy, and the one million Hong Kong dollars to ensure the safe development of the company in the United States is worth it." ”

Playboy magazine was founded in the United States, and if it were not for the British official in front of him who was willing to serve as the company's legal representative, the magazine would not have been successfully launched in the United States.

In order to make Jian Lianshi the legal representative of Playboy Company, Su Jingxian's original remuneration was 1 million Hong Kong dollars at this time.

Millions of Hong Kong dollars, with arrears or arrears, will be liquidated within three years.

This is a note left by Su Jingxian at Jian Lianshi's house that day, but even Jian Lianshi didn't expect that in less than a year, Su Jingxian would give all the millions of Hong Kong dollars.

"Actually, you know, even if I don't have this money, I am very happy to help a young and promising Chinese youth like you." Tapping the check on the table with his finger, Jian Lianshi said to Su Jingxian.

Su Jingxian nodded, agreed with his words, and said with a smile: "I understand, but I have been spending a lot of money recently, and I suddenly want to do charity." ”

Jian Lianshi picked up the check and shook it, and said: "This money will be used as an education fund, no matter what, I want to express my gratitude to you for Hong Kong's education." ”

Su Jingxian looked at the British professor with gray temples in front of him, and responded with a smile: "It is my honor to contribute to the cause of education. ”

If he was the second Englishman and said this to Su Jingxian, Su Jingxian only thought that the other party was covering his face for collecting money, but now that he was a simple man, he had no doubt about the authenticity of the other party's words.

is also British, and the difference between Jane Lianshi and most of the British officials in Hong Kong at this time is too different.

In order to spread the concept of education, this man born in a British family of teachers taught in India and Hong Kong, and finally chose to live in Hong Kong for a long time. In his own words, he blamed Hong Kong for its beauty that he never wanted to go anywhere else.

However, Su Jingxian knows that the reason why Jian Lianshi chose to settle in Hong Kong is not only the charming scenery, but also a greater part of the reason is that he shares the feelings of suffering with this land that belongs to China.

When he first met Jane, Su Jingxian had always been curious about why a British law professor would receive the OBE Military Medal issued by the British Tribunal.

In the eyes of the Chinese, professors and scholars like Jian Lianshi are like scholars, powerless, but such a scholar, during the fall of Hong Kong in 1942, when the then governor of Hong Kong announced his surrender, he escaped from the Japanese prisoner of war camp overnight with 40 students, and it took two months to trek all the way from the Wong Tai Sin District of Kowloon to the inland Bashu area, stabbing three gun-wielding Japanese soldiers along the way.

Upon his return to Hong Kong, none of the 40 students he rescued were harmed, and his deeds were publicized after the war, and he was personally commended by Sir Gordon, a general in charge of India's three armies, and on the same day the news was sent back to the British Empire, which awarded him the Order of the Officer.

Su Jingxian remembered that he once asked Jian Lianshi why he didn't go back to England, and Jian Lianshi replied: Go back to England to be a servant? The lives of my students and I were saved countless times by the Chinese during the period of escape, and this account cannot be paid off for a lifetime, of course, I will continue to stay in Hong Kong to teach and educate people and make some contributions!

And the dream of this British official is to be able to establish a new university in Hong Kong to expand the soil and cultivate seedlings.

"By the way, Professor Jane, if it's convenient, I'd like to ask you to help me relay it to Thompson so that he can take some time to come to Hong Kong." Su Jingxian said helplessly, "As you said before, Playboy magazine's sales in the United States are indeed not very good, and they are too far from my expected goals, I want to have an interview with Thompson to finalize the next few plans." However, I probably won't go to the United States in the short term, so I can only work hard for him to come to Hong Kong. ”

At this time, there was no IDD international direct dial telephone in Hong Kong, and if you wanted to make a call to the United States, you could only go to a British-funded telephone company, and rely on the manual operators of the switchboards in various places to continuously transfer to get through. In addition, because the switchboard and the cable broadcaster share the same line, the call quality is very poor, and the call must be made after the broadcast is over, which is very troublesome.

However, because of his military ranks, Jian Lianshi can make military phone calls, which is far more convenient than telephone companies.

"No problem." Jian Lianshi nodded when he heard this, and then reminded, "But if you plan to let Thompson stay and work in Hong Kong, old Thompson will definitely not agree." ”

Su Jingxian shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not, Thompson is now Playboy's agent in the United States, and I still need him to keep an eye on the American market." This time, I invited him over to discuss the development route of the magazine in the future, and it may also involve signing a contract, which is difficult to explain clearly on the phone. ”

Jane shrugged his shoulders and didn't show much interest in the magazine, "I'll tell him for you tonight." ”

Su Jingxian smiled slightly and said thank you.

In the last life, an important reason for the playboy to become famous was because it did create a playboy, and its boss Hefner appeared in the magazine like a spokesperson, causing a hot topic, which Su Jingxian did not consider before.

And now, in order to increase the sales of the magazine, Su Jingxian plans to let Thompson act as this soul figure.

A war correspondent who was wounded in World War II founded a magazine by his own efforts, and he was young and rich, embracing left and right, which will undoubtedly make countless confused American young people find spiritual sustenance.

As for whether the owner of the magazine company is Chinese, British or American, readers will not delve into it.
