At the beginning of August, just as Golden Harvest Films was in full swing and Bruce Lee's movie "Game of Death" was creating brilliance again, Hong Kong media suddenly broke out the 'Bruce Lee and Ding Pei's affair'.

Zou Wenhuai looked at the news of "Ming Pao Weekly" and couldn't help sneering: "Just this trick, I want to bring down the star of our Golden Harvest movie, and it's too simple!" ”

"Ming Pao Weekly" did not publish too eye-catching photos, and the photos of Bruce Lee and Ding Pei were just relatively close together, but it was not enough to explain anything.

Obviously, someone is trapping the beast and making a final resistance. The object is self-evident, naturally his old club.

"Raymond, is it troublesome?" Bruce Lee walked into Zou Wenhuai's office and asked curiously.

He is not panicked at all, and being afraid of things is not his style.

Zou Wenhuai smiled: "What's the trouble, it's too simple a question!" You invite Linda to come to Hong Kong to have a while, and at the same time make an appointment with Ding Pei, the three of you will have a dinner, and I will let the "Oriental Daily" publish it. This is convenient for you to do, right? ”

After thinking about it, Bruce Lee said, "No problem! Linda, she wouldn't care about Ding Pei, and you know, I don't really like Ding Pei! ”

He was confident that Linda wouldn't really be angry!

Zou Wenhuai said: "I knew you could do it!" But Bruce, Game of Death seems to be a great success, and I'm hoping to launch your sixth film soon. I heard that you have a headache, and my boss specially told me to let someone accompany you to check it out, or try Chinese medicine treatment."

Bruce Lee said: "No problem, it's just that there are some small problems occasionally, you thank Boss Lin for your concern for me!" ”

Zou Wenhuai insisted: "Just take it as a check-up by the way, we Chinese don't talk about avoiding medical treatment, it's best to be fine, and you can take care of a little problem!" ”

Under Zou Wenhuai's hospitality, Bruce Lee also agreed.

He is very grateful to Golden Harvest Films, after all, it was Golden Harvest Films that 'discovered' him, so he will only cooperate with Golden Harvest Films. Even if it is a Hollywood movie, it must be cooperated with Golden Harvest Films.

After that, Zou Wenhuai persuaded again: "Bruce, since you don't have too much affection for Ding Pei, don't get along too much." This time you've been reported by the media, guess who's probably pushing it? ”

Bruce Lee was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that the Shaw Brothers are targeting me?" ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten!" This is secondary, who is the person who can take your intimate photos, and whether there is a reason for Ding Pei in this, although these are all speculations, I still hope you take it seriously, your current influence is huge, and it is not appropriate to invest too much energy in doing those things"

He persuaded him with great pain.

In fact, he recently had a hot fight with Luo Wei's ex-wife Liu Wenliang.

Bruce Lee said sincerely: "Raymond, what you said is very reasonable, but for the sixth movie, I still have a lot of ideas that have not been combined, which is a bit messy." ”

Zou Wenhuai immediately said: "Speak out, let's communicate." ”

"Good"

Immediately, the two chatted about the movie, and Bruce Lee finally promised to find Ding Pei less recently.

At the end, Bruce Lee asked: "How much can the stock of Golden Harvest Movies rise?" ”

This time, he bought 1.5 million Golden Harvest film shares, and the cost was only ninety percent.

"Don't worry, at least it can be doubled!"

Bruce Lee was surprised, and then said happily: "This time it's really happening!" ”

"Haha, it's good if you're satisfied!"

A few days later.

"Oriental Daily" published a gossip news, Bruce Lee, Linda and Ding Pei talking and laughing photos, the content did not say much, just said that Mrs. Li visited Hong Kong, and the couple invited their good friend Ding Pei to have dinner together, and many fans took a group photo on the way.

For a while, the news about Bruce Lee's cheating in marriage was self-defeating.

Even if it is cheating in marriage, Bruce Lee's wife Linda doesn't mind, what's the problem! It has only been a year since monogamy was abolished in Hong Kong, and the concept of Hong Kong citizens is still the same as the old one. As for overseas, few people care.

So the Shaw Brothers movie plays this kind of little conspiracy, which is actually useless!

And the stock of Golden Harvest Films has not suffered much, not from the beginning; Within a week of listing, the market value was already 285 million Hong Kong dollars, with a premium of more than 40%, and the performance was remarkable.

This is mainly because of the box office momentum of investing in Bruce Lee's "Game of Death", which has great hopes of surpassing the momentum of "Raptors Across the River".

Lin Zhichao took his subordinates to the vicinity of Xiao Chi Sha in Tseung Kwan O to check the location of 'Golden Harvest Cinema'.

It was unlikely that he would choose the address of 'Golden Harvest Cinemas' in a suitable residential area in Tseung Kwan O, so he chose the vicinity of Siu Chi Sha. In fact, Lam owns the 100-acre (600,000 sq ft) Cheung Kong Smelter in Tseung Kwan O, which will be developed into residential buildings in the 80s when the status of Tseung Kwan O New Town is confirmed.

"How's this place?" Lin Zhichao pointed to the place in front of him and asked everyone.

"This Tseung Kwan O has a permanent population of nearly 10,000 people, and if Golden Harvest Cinema is built here, it will be a monopoly. It's just that in terms of transportation, I'm afraid I can only rely on buses, and there is no big highway, which is a big project! Zou Wenhuai said.

There are so many difficulties that there is not even a road.

In later generations, Tseung Kwan O was developed after the status of a new town was determined, and there is an 'environmental protection road' here that was also built at that time. At the same time, there are still many reclamation projects in Tseung Kwan O in later generations, so it is different from the current geographical map.

Lin Zhichao said: "When Shaw Brothers opened up Shaw Cinema in Clear Water Bay, it was also a big project. If we take this piece of land, we can develop it slowly, and it will take more than 10 years to complete the development. Maybe it will become a gathering place for immigrants at that time. ”

At the beginning, it was just a movie set, and it will be deeply developed in the later stage.

There is no longer any doubt about it, after all, Golden Harvest Films is now rich, and the stock is very popular in the market, and the profit is very high.

Li Ziduo finally suggested: "Boss, we don't have any real estate experts here, do you want to invite someone from your Cheung Kong Industrial Group to preside over the overall situation?" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, I'll find someone to join Golden Harvest Film later and be in charge of this project." ”

After Golden Harvest Films went public, Lin Zhichao also began to avoid Zou Wenhuai's excessive power and carried out a decentralization. Of course, in terms of production and distribution, Zou Wenhuai is still a well-deserved leader, and few people interfere with him, except for Lin Zhichao, who will provide some advice.

And Zou Wenhuai should have learned to be grateful, after all, he has worked in Shaw Brothers for so many years and has a deposit of less than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars; In less than four years to Golden Harvest Films, his net worth has increased by about 20 times.

Back in the office of the media group, Lin Zhichao said to Zhao Yazhi: "Come with me to have dinner at the Miramar Hotel in the evening!" ”

Almost an undeniable tone, Lin Zhichao then picked up the information on the desk and looked at it. Whether it is Oriental Publishing House, Oriental Newspaper, or Golden Harvest Film, they will send some manuscripts and materials to Lin Zhichao's office; Lin Zhichao will call them if he has any suggestions, and if he doesn't have suggestions, he won't respond.

Because of this, Lin Zhichao's desk has always been filled with comics, daily newspapers, magazines, scripts, etc., and every time he comes to the media group, whether he has read it or not, he will no longer pay attention to it.

"Oh, just the two of us?" Zhao Yazhi held a cup of tea and put it in front of Lin Zhichao.

She has become accustomed to Lin Zhichao's domineering, and the relationship between the two has also improved by leaps and bounds, but she has not crossed the last step. Even so, Zhao Yazhi's current performance is completely a conquered woman.

Lin Zhichao raised his head and said, "It's a date, is there anyone else who is suitable?" ”

Zhao Yazhi suddenly said shyly: "It's a date, I thought it was a social!" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "If you are entertained, you are still almost!" ”

Zhao Yazhi blurted out: "What's the difference?" ”

Lin Zhichao said playfully: "You'll know tonight!" ”

Zhao Yazhi suddenly thought of something, his face gradually became rosy, and his breathing began to increase. The relationship between the two has reached that point, but this man doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, isn't it!

"Don't think about it, working hours!"

"Obviously you're thinking!"

Seeing that this girl dared to talk back, Lin Zhichao couldn't help laughing.

In any case, it should be harvested in eight months, and then slowly cultivated later. At present, Zhao Yazhi is just a young girl, but her potential is still good.

Helping others is the foundation of happiness, this is Lin Zhichao's creed!

After a while, Luo Wenhui from Oriental News came to the office to report his work, and Lin Zhichao deliberately asked Zhao Yazhi not to go out.

Luo Wenhui naturally didn't care about this, but reported his work seriously: "Boss, have you read the inaugural issue of "Gang of Men"? ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "I saw it just now!" I think there is a little problem, "Gang of Men" is a soft and astringent men's exclusive magazine, and the cover girl is a highlight, but I don't think I want to be as open as a playboy, but I should still hold the pipa and half cover my face, for example, I look for Ding Pei to shoot the first issue, the clothes can be selected in short, take off but not leak, and the mystery is the highest level. ”

Zhao Yazhi blushed when he heard this!

Luo Wenhui didn't care at all, and discussed with the boss.

"I understand, I'm going to officially launch the journal in September!"

"Well, the main revenue of this magazine is to sell advertising, so pay attention to the quality. And you also know that as long as the print quality of the magazine is good, advertisers are also happy to see it, and the degree of attention is not lost to sales. ”

This is a strange imagination of Hong Kong publishing, some well-printed magazines, even if the sales are not very high, advertisers are happy to invest their business in them.

Therefore, the media group has been investing very much in printing equipment and the quality of workers.

"Okay, the boss can rest assured that about the overseas publication of "Oriental Daily", what instructions does the boss have?"

Lin Zhichao said: "The overseas cities that Chinese like to move to are Vancouver, Toronto, New York, San Francisco, London, and Sydney, so we want to publish the overseas edition of Oriental Daily in these six cities. In the future, the global "Oriental Daily" can be shared in international news, through telex and other means. Local journalism needs local reporters."

Luo Wenhui nodded and said, "Okay!" We have recently started preparations for the overseas editions of Oriental Daily News in Vancouver and Toronto."

Lin Zhichao started a lot of things, and then handed them over to his subordinates to do.

But the most important part of things is often the part that Lin Zhichao participates in, for example, the "Oriental Daily" led by him is the first popular newspaper in Hong Kong in the true sense, and with its strong news gathering and editing staff and the news format of abstract articles, it became the boss of the Hong Kong newspaper industry for the first time.

During this period, it used commercial means to widen the gap and firmly occupy the No. 1 newspaper in Hong Kong. In the mid-seventies, the Oriental Daily could sell more than 250,000 copies.

After Luo Wenhui left, Zhao Yazhi said: "I didn't expect you to be such a big boss and understand things so comprehensively!" ”

Her eyes were sparkling, and her expression was one of admiration.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "At the beginning just now, you should still be thinking that two men are playing hooligans, right?" ”

Zhao Yazhi's face turned red when he was told the central matter, but then said: "It's a little bit, but soon I saw from the two of you that it is professionalism." ”

With the discussion between the two men, Zhao Yazhi understood that this was a discussion between professionals, not the kind of discussion between men.

After getting off work, Lin Zhichao took Zhao Yazhi through the Hung Hom Tunnel and came to the Miramar Hotel.

In Hong Kong, Miramar Hotel is one of the four major hotels along with The Peninsula Hotel, Mandarin Hotel and Hilton Hotel, and is the only five-star hotel managed by the Chinese.

The Miramar Hotel is very popular among Chinese people and tourists, because there are many Chinese characteristics here, such as its appearance is the moon cave door window of the Chinese Jiangnan building, and the hotel has various Chinese drama and juggling performances. This style is also very popular with tourists, just like nearly half of the tourists who come to Hong Kong will go to Songcheng in the 'Lychee Garden Playground'.

Compared with the Miramar Hotel in the previous life, it is not only a grade of luxury, but also a grade of more important management and operation. As for profits, it is expected to exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars this year (1972).

Lin Zhichao took Zhao Yazhi to the restaurant of the suite, and when the hotel was ready for dinner, his sister Lin Xin'er actually walked in.

"Why haven't you left work yet?" Lin Zhichao said indifferently.

Lin Xin'er, who is 39 years old this year, is already a mother of two children, and her appearance is already a mature young woman, far less than the two sisters-in-law's 'maintenance'. At the same time, Lin Xin'er has also achieved success in her career, serving as the vice president of Miramar Hotel, and relying on her own strength. Of course, she still did not get any shares in the company, and was just a management member of the Lin family.

After all, it's just a sister, not his own daughter, Lin Zhichao is reluctant after all.

Of course, although he did not give shares, Lin Xiner is also worth tens of millions, and she has received a lot of property and cash, just because he got married that year, Lin Zhichao probably spent more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars; Two nephews were born, and Lin Zhichao gave away shops, high-end residences, cash, and almost 3 million Hong Kong dollars; This time, Lin Zhichao gave her another 3 million Hong Kong dollars to buy shares at a low price, which is the management of Cheung Kong Asset Group.

"Brother Overtime, this is the new sister-in-law?" Lin Xin'er said with a smile.

Zhao Yazhi was suddenly embarrassed, she could be Lin Xin'er's daughter at her age, and Lin Xin'er had a lot of aura.

"Let you call your sister-in-law, do you shout? This is my girlfriend Zhao Yazhi, let's have dinner today. Lin Zhichao said calmly.

Not to mention being caught by his sister, even being caught by his wife, he is not afraid.

After some introduction, Lin Xin'er took the initiative to toast Zhao Yazhi, but there was no out-of-the-ordinary behavior. She has become accustomed to it, her brother has brought a Japanese girlfriend before, but I don't know how long this can stay with her brother?

After a brief chat, Lin Zhichao personally sent his sister to the door.

"Brother, what a beautiful young girl!"

"Your brother is good at this, don't talk to your sister-in-law nonsense!"

"Got it"

Lin Xin'er swore a promise.

Lin Zhichao patted his sister's shoulder, and then turned around, he still believed in his sister.

After returning to the room, Zhao Yazhi said: "Brother Zhichao, with you, I am like a country girl, your sister's aura is so strong!" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "The woman I fancy will have a process of growth and transformation. Okay, let's eat, don't think so much. ”

Zhao Yazhi suddenly felt happy in her heart, of course she also longed to be a rich man.

Next, they shared a lavish dinner, danced to music, and finally made their way to the boat in the bedroom.

"Brother Chao, I'm a little nervous!"

Lin Zhichao knew that he would definitely be able to drink the soup, after all, it was the best age, the most legal age.

"Don't worry, just leave everything to me!"

"Hmm"
