Chapter 397
Huo Dongjun asked Rader to drive him to the villa of Xiang Watson in Nansheng, Yuen Long, and he has known Xiang Huasheng for so long, it is indeed Huo Dongjun's second time, and when he came for the first time, it was Wang Kun who brought himself and Chen Dong here to prepare to obtain investment from Xiang Watson and film "Evil Police".
When the servant of the villa came to help Huo Dongjun open the car door, Xiang Watson also happened to appear at the door, smiling and watching Huo Dongjun get out of the car.
Xiang Watson, who was still wearing a coffee-colored casual suit, and Huo Dongjun, who came over, gently patted their shoulders, and then the two entered the study of the villa together.
As soon as he entered the study, the first thing that caught his eye was still the majestic "Double Eagle Scales", he turned to sit on the sofa in the study, and said to Watson to the middle-aged maid standing outside the door:
"Sister Liang, go to the wine cellar and help me bring in the red wine that I brought back from Australia after sobering up. β
Waiting for the maid to agree to leave, Xiang Watson took out the cigar from the drawer under the coffee table, threw it on the table casually, and did not greet Huo Dongjun, but sat on the sofa by himself, pressed his hands on the back of his head, looked at Huo Dongjun, raised his chin and signaled that the other party could taste the cigar.
Sitting on the sofa opposite Xiang Watson, Huo Dongjun smiled: "The complexion doesn't look good, the Australian scenery is too bad, is it unappetizing?"
"The whole person is about to get sick, there is a special person to take care of the winery, I don't know how to plant grapes and choose grapes, every day is almost equal to self-cultivation there, the restaurant in Hong Kong, I only have two percent of the shares, it is not good to jump out and take over the management of myself, the logistics company, my partner has a relationship in the mainland, I will not be stupid to seize power, gambling hall, I will not interfere, so I stayed in Australia for so long, I did not think that I wanted to continue to be a ghost, after returning, I found that Yongsheng business is also good, I still continue to wait for moneyγ Xiang Watson took off the glasses on his face and threw them on the coffee table, and said with his fingers twisting his eyebrows.
Huo Dongjun stood up from the sofa, walked slowly to the bookshelf on the side, looked at the various books listed on it and said:
"Yongsheng's business is good? It's not the same as the news I received, this year's Yongsheng will make at least twenty or thirty million less than when you talk about things. β
Although Huo Dongjun hasn't cared about the film market recently, the box office figures of several movies made by Yongsheng this year are there, and they are much worse than when they talked to Watson.
Xiang Watson shrugged his shoulders and smiled in a seemingly disapproving tone:
"Brother Tenth has just taken over, and it's normal for some fluctuations in income, how are you doing? I heard that you have made a big deal and taken money from Chen Youqing to build satellite TV? How big is Hong Kong, just a city, will so many people watch satellite TV when it comes out?"
"A single satellite can cover the whole of Asia, even the Middle East Peninsula can receive the signal, and the TV station is not only trying to provide programs for Hong Kong, but is preparing to provide a stable and smooth TV signal for the whole of Asia. Huo Dongjun exhaled and said: "I just have an idea for this kind of thing, and all the process is handed over to the current president of the satellite company, Aradel Milne, you should have heard it." β
Xiang Watson nodded: "I have indeed heard that his resignation caused a lot of movement, and many British citizens refused to watch the BBC program in order to support him, but even if you invite a Dinghai Shen Needle that can make Chen Youqing rest assured that he will get the money out, I never thought that your shop is too big, and you can't do it, and there is no other way out except bankruptcy." β
"So, Hong Kong is a very strange city, I can easily complete a part of the production first, not to mention, satellite TV will not lose too much, even if Aladell Milne can't do it, there can be other Western media companies that want to take over. Huo Dongjun smiled at Watson and said.
The satellite company does seem to have invested quite a lot, and Huo Dongjun almost staked his net worth in exchange for Chen Youqing's support, but this project is reversed, Chen Youqing can finally nod and give Huo Dongjun the money, in addition to being optimistic about Huo Dongjun, he is confident in this project, what does the bank do? Investment, there must be an advanced judgment on the prospects of a certain industry, satellite TV in Asia, Huo Dongjun is the first to come out, if this project is unsustainable, there will be other companies to jump out and take over, such a large amount of money to come out, Chen Youqing If there is no think tank to give a reasonable analysis, it must not be so easy, not to mention that Huo Dongjun even believes that Chen Youqing's phone book must have a lot of phone numbers of the person in charge of the media group.
"I don't have too much to talk about, why don't you talk about Xiang Sheng?" Huo Dongjun smiled and said to Xiang Watson: "You bring me here, you can't really drink a red bar with two people, although everyone is single, but I'm really not a." β
"When I was in Sydney, Australia, I happened to go to see the famous American economist Charles Kindleberg's lecture at the University of Sydney Business School, and he said a sentence that accurately summed up my current situation. Xiang Watson's back left the sofa, sat up straight, picked up the cigar on the coffee table, threw one to Huo Dongjun, and then lit another.
Huo Dongjun bit off the eggplant cap with his mouth and asked, "What nonsense?"
"There's nothing like seeing a friend make a fortune and making money to break your comfortable and relaxed state of mind. Xiang Watson said with a cigar in his hand.
"Classic, this sentence is worth the ticket price. Huo Dongjun raised the cigar in his hand and praised: "One sentence sums up everyone's hearts." β
"So, I don't want to be ruined by you, the best way is to find something to do, don't let yourself be idle all day and have to go horse racing, swimming, diving. β
"I'm curious that your leisure method doesn't have a ditch girl?" Huo Dongjun quipped as he sipped an unlit cigar.
Xiang Watson asked rhetorically, "Aren't you the same?" When I was your age, I pretended to be a pretty boy all day long and wanted to meet a beautiful girl. β
"Hey, you're looking weird right now. Huo Dongjun stood in front of the bookshelf and said: "Let me tell you, if I don't hook up with a beautiful girl, it doesn't mean that I am a, you tricked me into coming to the countryside of Yuen Long, there won't be any strange thoughts, right?"
Xiang Watson laughed at Huo Dongjun's ridiculous tone, and just as the maid sister walked in with a wine glass and a wine decanter, she poured a glass of beautiful red wine for each of them, and then left.
"Come and taste the wines of my winery, with sharp mouths, brandy and all kinds of flavored ingredients. β
Huo Dongjun walked over and took a glass, shook it slowly, let the slightly brown wine swirl and ripple in the glass, and said:
"I said last time that I would work with you to create another film company, but you are not interested, what are your plans now?
Xiang Watson took out the cigar in his mouth, picked up the red wine and sniffed the aroma and shook his head: "Yongsheng's income this year is indeed a little poor, but it doesn't mean that it will continue to be poor, the tenth brother's business methods are different from mine, I do business, rational, ten brothers and ten sisters-in-law do business, emotional, have you noticed that Yongsheng has signed a lot of artists this year? All rely on the communication skills shown by the ten brothers and ten sisters-in-law to reach their command, I dare to say that after a year or two, Yongsheng's movie stars must be the most." I make movies, I like to study the subject matter first, and I will definitely use the money to make money, but the ten brothers and ten sisters-in-law are a bunch of stars, which star has appeal, so I will go to him to film, the means are different, and the effect is different, I bet on the right theme, make the money of the year, he bet on the artist, and make money in the future. β
"Whether you make money now or in the future, Yongsheng is not your business now, and you can get dividends at most. β
"I have withdrawn my shares in Yongsheng. Xiang Watson took a shallow sip of red wine and said.
Huo Dongjun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Are you going to start another film company by yourself?"
"You're an idiot to me, of course not. Xiang Watson's tone was slightly depressed, but he immediately smiled again.
"So you want me to come up with an idea for you?" asked Huo Dongjun.
Xiang Watson refused to continue to make movies, which made Huo Dongjun a little regretful, the well-known Yongsheng movies in the early nineties were actually the thirteen young men of the Xiang family, he no longer made movies, I don't know if it is possible to see those classic movies appear.
Xiang Watson nodded slightly with red wine: "There really isn't much to do recently, not to mention that I have withdrawn from Yongsheng in exchange for cash." β
Huo Dongjun shook his wine glass and shrugged his shoulders and said, " I went to Thailand some time ago, and my initial idea was to see if it was possible to open a satellite company in Thailand, as you know, the local officials in Thailand were stricter than the Hong Kong corruption in the sixties and seventies, and it was easy to get some permissions, but in the end I decided to go back to Hong Kong to open a satellite company, the reason is that the nature of the satellite company is relatively special, those Thailand have been fighting all day long, and every coup d'Γ©tat, the first thing to do is to occupy the TV station, and there is no choice to even stand in line, but aside from the TV station, Thailand does have a lot of things to doγ β
"For example?"
"Telephone business, timber, planting, mining, construction, these are all popular businesses, and most of the business is actually in the hands of Chinese businessmen, from this point of view, Chen Bichen is known as the Chinese king of Thailand is worthy of his name, in Thailand has cultivated a large number of Chinese billionaires to occupy Thailand, now whether it is the military or politics, which one actually has the back of the Chinese financier, the most important thing is that these Chinese financiers are respectful to Chen Bichen, if I am not recently inconvenient funds, I am ready to go to Thailand to go around. Huo Dongjun opened his mouth to talk about the situation in Thailand.
Watson asked strangely, "You know Thailand very well?"
"I now have the daughter of a Thai ****** in Dongtian Investment Company, and his father offended the Bing-Yan Su Ranong, who was called Bing's father by the Thai military. Huo Dongjun said with a twist on the corner of his mouth.
Linla Pitana is still sitting in the office of Dongtian Investment to blow air conditioning, Huo Dongjun has always ignored her, but it does not mean that he has forgotten her.
