Gorgeous night in Hong Kong.

The Huang family's mansion was brightly lit. A pair of well-dressed men and women in the garden, soft and beautiful music came from the hall......

In the study room on the second floor, Li Yuan and Huang Jiaojiao, who was holding Ling Ling, were meeting an old man and a pair of middle-aged men and women. They are Huang Jin, the old man of the Huang family who is already semi-retired. and Huang Jiaojiao's parents, Huang Zhihua and Zeng Cailing.

"Okay." Old Man Huang looked very happy.

Huang Jiaojiao immediately coquettished: "Grandpa, where is the red envelope? You can't be petty?"

"Go! Ask your mom to ask for it." Old Man Huang scolded with a smile, "How old are you to think you're a child? Yuanzai, sit down, talk to my old man. I've wanted to talk to you for a long time."

Li Yuan smiled and tacitly agreed. There is no need to talk about some things. However, in the small talk just now, Zeng Cailing also revealed a few words intentionally or unintentionally, which was nothing more than a hint that he knew about Li Yuan's family situation in the mainland. It should be that the Huang family has already sent someone to understand.

"Yuanzai, we're not such snobbish people. As long as you and Jiaojiao have a good time in Hong Kong. Can you do that?"

"No problem, Grandpa. I'll make sure I can arrange it." Li Yuan replied with a smile.

"That's good."

What the Huang family wants is the position of the eldest lady in Hong Kong. Whether it's compromise or self-deception, I won't care about Li Yuan's affairs elsewhere anyway.

Of course, Li Yuan had no reason not to agree. You can't always get cheap and sell well. They even have a son.

So Huang Zhihua smiled and asked, "Yuan Zai, then do you have any ideas in the future?" Oh, I forgot to congratulate you on winning the prize at Cannes this time."

Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and briefly introduced the situation of the Cannes Film Festival: "Dad, this time it was a fluke. Movies are mostly personal hobbies for me and Jiaojiao. If I have free time in the future, I may shoot one or two more. But the main focus will be on business. including the business of the metaverse."

"That's good. That's good."

Li Yuan understood what the Huang family meant. With the influx of hot money, Hong Kong movies are now showing a grand scene of cooking oil. Whether it is the underworld or the white way, there are people everywhere who come to the Hong Kong film industry to make money.

It's a bit mixed here, especially after entering many underworld bosses, and finally making the Hong Kong entertainment industry a miasma.

Many people should know about this history, and it has been described in many Hong Kong entertainment articles. In the end, it even sparked protests and demonstrations in the entire Hong Kong amusement circle, causing a sensation around the world......

Of course, the Huang family didn't want to get involved in such trouble. That's why I reminded Li Yuan. It doesn't matter how many movies you play, but there are some aspects that need to be taken care of.

Zeng Cailing explained with a smile: "Yuanzai, don't be so nervous, we are not some unenlightened parents. It's good to have an award-winning film like this one. And the newspapers say that many of the great masters of European cinema are praising you?"

Huang Jiaojiao immediately became vibrant: "Then there is no need to say. I am the initiator of this film, and I ordered Xiao Yuanzi to create it. Why don't you boast about me?"

In the light laughter, Old Man Huang scolded with a pampered smile again: "What are your skills, we don't know? Still making movies?"

"Grandpa, don't look down on people."

"Huh."

"Dad, can I sell you the shares of my small real estate? Give a fair price, and don't bully your grandson."

"Why?"

"Then I'll have the principal. We are also going to Thailand to develop new real estate. I'll sell it to you when the time comes. Hey, hey, hey."

In fact, this kind of approach, the Huang family is not a loss, after all, it is now the rising period of real estate. This also includes the property market in Southeast Asia. Before the '98 financial crisis, Southeast Asia was also a place of international enthusiasm.

However, Huang Jiaojiao will also worry a lot. After all, she no longer needs to do it herself, the eldest lady is so afraid of trouble, she is the kind of person who lives exquisitely. Originally, there was still a dog slave named Xiao Yuanzi, but I didn't expect the dog slave to engage in high-tech now?

"Huh. I'll have the company's actuary take a look! Let your big brother decide when the time comes." Huang Zhihua didn't say it to death.

If it's about the same, he doesn't plan to worry much about his daughter.

Zeng Cailing took Ling Ling and shook and coaxed, "Yuanzai, what business are you going to do now?" Is it selling water and film companies?"

"These traditional industries will be handed over to Jiaojiao. Personally, I'm still ready to develop in the high-tech field."

"Then why not do real estate? The high-tech industry is very profitable, isn't it?"

"At this stage, we are still burning money."

"Burn money?"

Li Yuan explained the concept of "burning money" with a smile: "Mom, although the current high-tech is burning money. But what I'm fighting for is the right to speak. Once you have the right to speak, it will be very easy to make money in the future."

Zeng Cailing still doesn't understand this concept very well. In their minds of Hong Kong people, isn't the most profitable thing to be real estate? How could it be more profitable?

As for what high-tech? Making money is making money, so where does it come from?

In fact, Old Man Huang and Huang Zhihua don't understand very much. So the old man asked hesitantly, "Yuanzai, do you lack funds?" Can I lend you something?"

[In view of the general environment,

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head. If it was a venture capital, he would have said yes. But now it's obviously family affection, so there's no need to spend this favor.

"Old man, the way of playing is different between high-tech and traditional industries. In fact, at the beginning, it was also a question of financial operation. Of course, we need to have core technologies and market prospects."

"Oh, tell me about it." Old Man Huang was suddenly interested. Real estate is also a financial operation, so he is very curious.

"Old man, father, mother, that's it. Financing like this is usually ......."

I have to say that the financing process of those unicorn companies in the future is indeed getting more and more fun. It's perfectly fair to say that only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without them.

This kind of sassy operation made Old Man Huang and them all dumbfounded, which can be regarded as a great insight.

Old Man Huang smiled and asked, "Yuan Zai, if you do this, no one will object?"

Huang Jiaojiao on the side squinted: "At that time, he did this. Do you know how much we took out at the beginning? Just 1 million! This man has tens of thousands of dollars around him."

Laughter rang out all around. Old Man Huang is quite funny: "Jiaojiao, and then you were deceived?"

"Nope! This dead man stalks! Hmph!" Huang Jiaojiao threatened Li Yuan with that very "terrifying" look - dead man, do you dare to object?

In the midst of laughter, Huang Zhihua changed the topic: "Yuanzai, if you want to be good, just do it. We, as parents, will always have your back. It's about controlling the risk, after all, you're already parents."

"Mom, Dad, I understand."

「……」

……

It should be admitted that Li Yuan has expanded too much at present, and even faintly exceeded his financial limit.

Any industry is in the layout, everywhere is enclosure, but the return money is very small, and it has even affected the degree of turnover.

If it weren't for the Han Palace Bank, which used high leverage to operate as a cover-up, maybe the capital chain would have been broken.

And in such a situation, even the stocks you hold cannot be sold casually. Otherwise, if it falls into the eyes of those who have a heart, it will immediately cause great passivity. So I can only hold on to my head.

To be honest, the biggest win at the Cannes Film Festival this time was not the award, but the $6.8 million that sold the copyright! With this fund, Li Yuan did continue his life for a few seconds......

But then again, the harvest of Chinese films at the Cannes Film Festival still caused quite a stir in China.

The biggest famous scene is that Mr. Ge Cunzhuang holds flowers in his hand to welcome Uncle Ge, the new actor in Cannes.

Of course, as the only representative of "Two Golden Guns", Ying Xin, a stupid girl, also showed a small face in the spotlight......

However, the sensation lasted for a short time. Because there is another big event - the 94 US World Cup officially opens!

……

「…… Dear viewers and friends, this is the live broadcast of the 94 World Cup, and now it is the opening ceremony......

Due to the time difference, the broadcast time of the World Cup in the United States is relatively friendly, generally in the evening and morning.

As a fan, Li Wei has long been looking forward to this trouble-free. Today, he and a few friends gathered at his home, chatted until late at night, and then brought two beers and waited for the event to be broadcast.

"Daughter-in-law, fry some peanuts and cut a plate of dried tofu!" Zhang Weiwei shouted, looking arrogant as an old man.

The daughter-in-law finished her busy work and brought the two dishes to the house. Then he glared at Li Wei viciously and killed. As a senior widow of the World Cup, her daughter-in-law has long been unbearable, and she just has a little face. Just wait for those friends to leave, and see how the old lady cleans you up!

In the face of a murderous aura, Li Wei was calm. Isn't it just kneeling on the washboard? Isn't it true that labor and management have never knelt?

Finally waiting for his daughter-in-law to leave, Li Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A friend on the side complimented, "Weizi, you are this! Your daughter-in-law is virtuous. Anywhere like mine, it's hard to get in tonight."

Li Weiwei smiled, patted his chest and promised: "You don't know this, the old lady just owes it to clean up!" Now at home, I'm just saying the same! Brethren, isn't it just to watch the World Cup? In the future, they will all come to my house and make sure that the brothers will eat and drink well. Hahaha!"

「……」

One thing to say, in this era, there are almost no bars in China to watch football, let alone any Internet cafes. However, watching football is still the most lively for a group of people, so at this time, there are such men everywhere in the country.

Finally, after the closing ceremony, the first match was broadcast by the hosts, the United States and Switzerland.

As the referee's whistle blew, the players of both teams immediately jumped into the game.

「…… ! Good ball, pass, pass. Foul foul! ……」

Then the wine was strong, the room was full of shouting, Li Wei and they devoted themselves to the game.

「…… That defensive move just now, this referee awarded the touchline ball!"

As the ball rolls out of bounds, the broadcast camera gets a big close-up, just in time for a few seconds on the billboard on the side of the pitch.

"Huh? Are there still square words in the World Cup?"

"That's not normal? Advertisement for little devils."

"No, no, Wild Mountain Spring? Isn't that a regular advertisement on TV?"

"That's an advertisement for the little devils, too. It's almost the same as the name. And a few brothers, what the hell is this wild mountain spring for?"

Li Wei: They looked at each other. Since it was mainly sold in Hong Kong before, bottled water was also the main thing in the mainland, and it was all high-end places that entered it, and most of the people really didn't know the mineral water from Yeshan Qingquan.

Of course, due to the popularity of Yequan Cinema on major TV stations across the country before, this brand is still very familiar. I just don't know which country this brand is from? What products are there?

As soon as the camera turned, a close-up of the two Chinese on the rostrum was given.

"Huh? Who is this woman? Pretty foreign, huh?"

"Damn! Your daughter-in-law is still in the next room. I know that man, the ...... in Hong Kong?"

"Liu Dehua!"

"Yes, yes! It's Liu Dehua! Eh, isn't this the World Cup? How can there be a Hong Kong star?"

「……」

Li Wei and the others were confused, and they always felt that these close-ups were a bit strange. However, the game soon went on, and they got back into the game, quickly putting the close-ups behind them......

This happens all over the country. And the opening game finally ended with the whistle. It fully reflects that harmony is precious, and the final score - 1:1!

To be honest, the World Cup is indeed the focus of football fans all over the world, and the games are indeed very exciting. But with the elimination of the national football team, there are always fewer domestic fans

What a sense of involvement.

In fact, not only the fans, but also the media, that feeling of not being able to lift the spirit.

So the next day, there was an overwhelming World Cup special issue, which was full of regular reports, and there was always a lack of passion and excitement in the text and pictures.

Only in the corner tidbits of a certain sports newspaper - Chinese companies made their debut in the World Cup, and the wild mountains and clear springs were proud of the green field!

「…… In the finals of this World Cup, although the national football team was unfortunately eliminated in the group stage, a Chinese company successfully broke through and became a sponsor of the World Cup. That's the wild mountain spring from Shannan Province......

Lie down!

After seeing this tidbit, many fans couldn't believe their eyes.

In fact, in the previous group stages in various regions, including the domestic Rongcheng group stage, there were also billboards of wild mountains and clear springs on the sidelines.

However, no one noticed at all. Even if you sweep a few close-ups - isn't it a domestic competition? It's normal to have a few domestic advertisements!

During this period, domestic football events were not very formal, especially in the field of sponsorship advertising, and even fans did not know much about sponsorship rules.

Among them, a group of corporate employees sit in the stands and pull their own advertising banners? I don't care about sponsorship at all.

But this time? That's America! That's the World Cup finals!
