He Dingxian sat behind his desk and counted 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, clean money is pleasing to the eye, just enough to be used as the basic capital for starting a business.

It's not big enough to have a night at Retiro, but you can invest in a small business if you find the right opportunity.

He felt that it was not enough to be ruthless, hard enough, and eye-catching enough to do great things.

Three conditions, power, power, money!

These three conditions are complementary and indispensable.

He doesn't have the power as a uniformed policeman, but he has a green skin on his body, and it is only a matter of time before he lifts the epaulettes step by step.

As for the potential? He's already leaning on the Chaoshan Gang!

As the largest hometown club on Hong Kong Island, it is impossible for the Chaoshan Gang to do something small and make people with heads and faces appreciate it.

But Chen Li, who has already won a higher level of appreciation, can barely borrow Chen Li's momentum.

What about the money... Now it's not much, but money is the only capital that can be earned by yourself, as long as you do it properly, you don't need to look at people's eyes.

Of course, making too much money will make people angry, and it will need power to protect it, but everyone likes money, and there is no money in the police force to get promoted.

But anyone who is promoted needs to pay tribute to the ghost guy, but he can't be promoted if he has no power, and the position of Inspector General Hua is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, but there is no backer and no chance to buy it.

There are not many people who can come up with 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang, but it is definitely more than the position of the two chief inspectors! Chen Li promised to sell him the position of a team leader, and he really regarded him as a confidant.

In the evening, Ho Ting-yin returned to the estate and took out 500 yuan and handed it to his mother: "The bonus given by the chief will be used to subsidize the family." ”

Peng Lingshan took it happily, He Dingxian put the wine glass in his hand, picked up the roast duck with chopsticks, put a wallet on the table, looked at the lard boy and said, "Cross the sea at night and talk to me about a business." ”

"Okay, Brother Xian." The lard boy put away the disappointed look on his face, thinking that he was going to make a small fortune, but he didn't expect to get a penny.

After eating, the two took a rickshaw to Kowloon City Ferry, took a ferry to North Point, and then transferred to a rickshaw to Causeway Bay Cinema.

Lard Boy looked at the signboard of the theater and looked puzzled: "Brother Xian, do you want me to watch a movie to celebrate?" ”

At present, Hong Kong Island Cinema also operates Cantonese opera, Huangmei opera and movies, and the audience for dramas is not small, and the movie audience is also increasing step by step.

The next stage will be to bring drama to the screen, and the most successful films of the 50s were theatrical films, just like the kung fu films of the 70s.

He Dingxian smiled and said: "How can there be such a good thing, we are here to buy goods." ”

"Can you buy goods at the cinema?" The lard boy smiled lewdly: "Hey, hey, I understand." ”

Ho Ting-yin stepped into the cinema and said: "A week ago, I saw a news in the Wenhui Pictorial that the Shaw Brothers Cinema in Central had been replaced with new screening equipment, and the ticket price was 60% off, and all Hong Kong citizens were welcome to visit. ”

"And then?" Lard Boy was scratching his head.

"Silly boy, even if you change to a new device, what's the use of keeping the old equipment? The theater will only be replaced one by one to attract audiences, and the obsolete equipment can only be put in the warehouse to mold. ”

"So I made a phone call to the theater manager, and the manager promised to buy me the old equipment for 3,000 yuan a piece."

He Dingxian found the conductor at the front desk and said lightly: "Hello, I'm looking for you Manager Zhang." ”

"What are you doing with our manager?" The conductor spoke Cantonese and ignored the answers.

He Dingxian smiled: "I made an appointment to talk to him about business." ”

The conductor looked up at him, saw his military uniform expression change, and said politely: "Manager Zhang's office is on the right-hand side, the one next to the toilet." ”

"Thank you!"

He Dingxian came to the office and knocked on the door to greet him, and as soon as he entered the door, he received a warm response from Manager Zhang. I saw Manager Zhang wearing a white shirt and glasses, standing up behind the desk and shaking hands to welcome: "Hello, Mr. He, did you bring the money?" ”

He Dingxian took out the wallet in his pocket and unzipped it, revealing a stack of Hong Kong dollars: "How is it?" ”

"Hehe, Mr. He, don't mind, there are too many white werewolves in the gloves, and I also help the big boss do things, and I don't see the money and don't deliver it." Manager Zhang looked sorry and hurriedly handed over a cup of hot water.

"Take me to the warehouse to inspect the goods!" He Dingxian pulled the zipper, and he was also clean and neat.

The three of them came side by side to a warehouse in the corner of the theater, Manager Zhang lifted a black cloth to show the projector, and said quite proudly: "The corrugated xenon lamp movie projector of the American company can automatically play the picture when you put the disc in, and the lighting effect is first-class, but the disadvantage is that it is relatively bulky, the corrugated xenon lamp is a bit old, and the light is not bright enough." ”

"The purchase price is 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 3,000 yuan will be sold to you to make a lot of money."

He Dingxian glanced at it: "Go up and have a look." ”

He and Lard came to the projector together, looked at the projector on the left and right, and smiled when he saw the production time on the body: "45 years of production, it took six years to sell me for 3,000, and I said I made money?" ”

Manager Zhang was unhappy when he heard this: "You don't care when I bought it, 3,000 yuan a projector is not satisfied?" Why, you're going to open a movie theater! ”

He Dingxian said with a smile: "Take a piece and put it out to see, you can put it and buy it again." ”

"No problem." Manager Zhang pointed to a messy box of discs in the corner and said, "Take it yourself." ”

Ho Tingxian wiped the dust off a box of dusty discs in the aisle, and looked at the discs one by one, these films were all movies from three years ago at the earliest, and ten years ago earlier.

He took a piece of film from a box and opened it, inserted the film into the projector, and then turned the projection port to the wall, and an old movie "Three Smiles" by a 40-year-old domestic actress was played in the dark room.

"Three Smiles" is also known as "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", which is based on the article "Tang Jieyuan Laughs at Marriage" in "Warning to the World", the movie tells the story of Tang Yin because he met Qiu Xiang, the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the temple, and he was so intoxicated that Qiu Xiang laughed three times, thinking that Qiu Xiang was intentional, so he changed his name and surname and sold himself as a scholar.

With his literary talent, he was valued by the Taishi, and became the tutor of the second son of the Taishi, Huawen and Huawu, and finally used the plan given by his friend Zhu Zhishan to choose the Mid-Autumn Festival incense and achieve marriage.

is different from the well-known version of Zhou Xingchi, "Three Laughs" is a standard love story movie, and the main line is similar, in fact, many of Zhou Xingchi's movies can find prototypes in old movies.

Zhou is powerful because he can play new tricks with old stories and figure out his own comedy style......

This "Three Smiles" was broadcast for half an hour, and Manager Zhang looked at his watch and said impatiently: "The projector has been turned a few times, and it will be broken sooner or later, do I want to accompany you to watch the whole play?" ”

"No, three thousand yuan, take the hard drive with you." He Dingxian said.

Manager Zhang smiled: "You want to be beautiful, projector and video disc, but you don't seem to be a peer, maybe you want to go to the mainland to make money, right?" Haha, this one can't be turned much. ”

"You don't have to worry about it, the way to get rich is all told to you, you have done it!" He Dingxian threw him angrily, and Manager Zhang shrugged his shoulders and offered a bid: "Five thousand yuan, projector plus video disc!" ”

In this era, buying a movie disc means owning commercial copyrights, the price of a new film disc is above 5,000 yuan, and the value of the old film disc is also worth two or three thousand yuan.

He Dingxian didn't talk nonsense, took out 5,000 Hong Kong dollars in his wallet and put it in his hand, and said: "I want to take Li Lihua's version of "Three Laughs" with the box!" ”

In the 40 years, the domestic film market has filmed two versions of "Three Smiles", one version is produced by Shanghai Guohua Film Company, Zhou Xuan plays Qiu Xiang, and the other version is produced by Shanghai Yihua Film Company, Li Lihua plays Qiu Xiang.

Manager Zhang pondered for a moment and took the Hong Kong dollar in his hand: "Deal." ”

"Take the goods and leave." He Dingxian turned around and explained, the lard boy had already picked up another version of "Three Laughs", and He Dingxian gave a cigarette to Manager Zhang: "If the goods are okay, I will cooperate with you in the future, and if there is a problem with the goods, I will pick your skin." ”

Manager Zhang raised his eyebrows and was noncommittal: "You have the final say." ”
