207 The Covenant of the Red Chamber
As soon as I entered the Red Mansion, it was as deep as the sea, and since then I have become a passerby.
Feng Chunmei is really glad that she followed the right person.
Although today's Kowloon Walled City cannot be said to be the same as the road that does not leave it untouched and does not close its doors at night, it is no longer the evil place full of pornography, gambling and drugs, and full of blood and rust.
Except for some residents of the walled city who became the first and second generations of demolition, and their homes became warehouses under the 'Shenzhou Company', and they ran to Hong Kong Island to buy real estate with a large amount of demolition money, the remaining residents soon found themselves with a new livelihood.
As long as they are residents of the Kowloon Walled City and are interested in doing business, they can now receive goods from 'Shenzhou Company' at a wholesale price lower than 10% of the Hong Kong and Kowloon markets.
The goods include durian, olives, betel nuts, coconuts, apples, bananas, all kinds of fish and seafood from Southeast Asian countries, all kinds of cheap and high-quality clothing, shoes and hats from Europe and the United States, as well as all kinds of large items, hair dryers, electric fans, bicycles, watches, radios......
Now that the maritime gold route has been suspended due to the war, part of the transportation capacity of Shenzhou Company is used to transport various materials urgently needed in the mainland, and part of it is used to transport special commodities from Southeast Asian countries.
With the influence of Shenzhou Company in Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, the Kowloon Walled City was gradually built into the 'Kowloon Mall' of this era by Zhou Wenqiang.
Nowadays, many people on Hong Kong Island love to buy all kinds of goods in the walled city, and the prices of the shops in the walled city are already low, and at the same time, they don't have to worry about being exploited by the bad people to buy a layer of 'fees', and soon entered a benign development.
The residents of the walled city have become rich, and the number of Hong Kong people from outside the city has increased, and the business of the Red Mansion is naturally booming.
Feng Chunmei is simply a genius in this way, and gradually began to break away from vulgar tastes, establish an elegant style, and introduce the "intangible cultural heritage" of China for thousands of years, the Qinglou culture, into the Red Mansion......
What a tea circle, Tachibana Oiran, nothing less.
Nowadays, the Red Chamber has set up an oiran for the lead singer, the oiran for the main dance, the oiran for various ancient music, the oiran for the main poem, and the oiran for the main call......
It's not easy to see the beauty of the Oiran, you are the member of the political bureau, and you have to honestly drink orders, show your talents, improvise poetry, and be favored by the blue eyes of the Oiran to have the qualifications to enter the curtain.
'The more difficult it is to eat, the more delicious it is', being so engaged by Feng Chunmei, the upper-class characters in Hong Kong and Kowloon are more interested, and visiting the kiln has become an experience of Qinglou culture, how face-saving is this?
These are all the benefits brought by the well-off economic environment of the walled city...... Feng Chunmei thought that she should repay her kindness and not forget to dig wells, so she said several times that she would hand over 30% of the profits of the Red Mansion to Zhou Wenqiang.
Zhou Wenqiang was about to refuse, but he couldn't help Feng Chunmei's determination to point to the sky, and finally had to laugh. However, this money should be earmarked, and it will only be used for charity purposes in the future, and only in this way can he save the face of Boss Zhou.
In the largest Tianxiang Pavilion in the Red Mansion, the shadow floats, and the red sleeves add fragrance.
Evening, love, pity, and wanting, waiting for the four Oiran ladies to sit next to them, Zhou Wenqiang and Jin Yong sat opposite each other in front of a mahogany tea table, enjoying the blessings of all people.
knows that Lao Jin is so ancient, so today Zhou Wenqiang specially ordered that the four Oiran ladies should be dressed up in ancient costumes. One by one, the temples are towering, semi-transparent palace clothes, under the silk wisps, there are faint snow feet and soft wattles, swallows are thin and fat, and the well is deep and not empty.
Jin Yong's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and a few poems with 'want', showing the true character of a talented man, and singing and harmonizing with the evening rhythm, discussing the ancient music house almost didn't become a pair of bosom friends, and with love......
Zhou Wenqiang just drank the tea slowly and let him toss enough.
After more than an hour, it was estimated that Lao Jin should also have fun, so he waved his hand to let the four Oiran ladies retreat, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cha, let's raise a glass together to celebrate that Ming Pao has ranked first in the sales list of Hong Kong and Kowloon newspapers for half a month!" "Ming Pao" can have such an achievement, Mr. is a great contribution. ”
Jin Yong was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Zhou Sheng has won the award...... "Ming Pao" can have today's achievements, and Zhou Sheng's two strange books of Condor Shooting and Condor are inseparable. ”
"By the way, now there are many people in and outside the industry who are asking who the heart of light and darkness is, and I can't stand it. Is Chow Sang considering revealing his identity? I actually can't understand it, the name of the article is not a stigma, why is Zhou Sheng afraid of being known that you are the heart of light and darkness? ”
"Hehe, let's wait for the announcement of my identity, this time I invite Mr. Cha to come, I have another important matter."
Zhou Wenqiang took out a stack of manuscripts and handed them to Jin Yongdao: "This is the third part of the Condor Trilogy, the outline and outline of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". I think this book is still ghostwritten by my husband, and you and I will co-sign it, and strive to start serializing it in Ming Pao next month. ”
"Heaven and Dragon Slayer? What a title! ”
Jin Yong took the manuscript and flipped through it for a while, but he didn't feel that it was wonderful again and again, and after thinking about it, he put the manuscript down again.
"Zhou Sheng, I think that now the residual heat of the Condor and the Condor has not disappeared, in the next half year, "Ming Pao" can still enjoy the dividends of these two books, is it a pity to rush to launch this book now."
"In my opinion, why don't you wait for half a year before launching it?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid Mr. Cha is too worried."
Zhou Wenqiang shook his head and said: "In the next year and a half, I want to make "Ming Pao" always rank among the top three newspapers in Hong Kong and Kowloon!" And the heat should be kept unabated! As for books...... Mr. Cha can rest assured that I still have dozens of good book outlines in my hand, and I don't have to worry about 'running out of food'. ”
"How many ...... Dozens? ”
Jin Yong was already a little stammering, but it became more serious at the moment: "This ...... It's true? No...... But Zhou Sheng, why are you like this...... Worry? ”
"Because I plan to build the first TV station on Hong Kong Island in a year and a half. "Ming Pao" has exploded during this period of time and maintained its popularity, which will be of great use to me in the future! ”
Zhou Wenqiang smiled faintly: "This is called drainage!" ”
"Drainage?"
Jin Yong was puzzled when he heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhou Sheng, are you sure you want to establish a TV station in a year and a half?" Did you know that there are less than 200 TV sets in Hong Kong and Kowloon combined, and because there are no TV stations, these TV sets have become the furnishings of the wealthy? ”
"Also, even if you set up a TV station, the number of TV sets on Hong Kong Island will not increase much in a short period of time. Nowadays, even radios are not something that ordinary families can buy at will, let alone expensive televisions? Zhou Sheng, I'm afraid this business will lose money......"
Zhou Wenqiang smiled: "Since I want to establish a TV station, I naturally have a way to increase the number of TV sets on Hong Kong Island." Mr. Cha only needs to help me firmly establish the king status of "Ming Pao" in this year and a half, and you will naturally understand at that time. ”
"Okay..... I found that the longer I know Zhou Sheng, the more I can't understand your whimsical ideas, so I'll wait and see. ”
Jin Yong smiled: "Just now Zhou Sheng said that there will be guests coming for a while?" Then I'll take my leave early. Today's red sleeves add fragrance, and the beauty is accompanied, life is like this, it is really beautiful, thank you Zhou Sheng for your hospitality. ”
"Hehe, if Mr. Cha is interested, the Red Chamber can come and go often, I think those Oiran ladies are also very welcome to literati like Mr. Cha."
Not long after Jin Yong, who was blushing, left, the door was gently knocked by Feng Chunmei: "Brother Qiang, Sir Chen and his friends have arrived, do you want them to come in now?" ”
Zhou Wenqiang put down the teacup and said, "Please!" ”
