Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the beginning of August.

Oriental Group and Cheung Kong Asset Group jointly issued a statement that the two parties will form a real estate company, HKR Properties, to develop Discovery Bay, a high-quality large-scale community in the southeast area of Lantau Island.

For a time, it caused a huge sensation in the industry.

Lantau covers an area of 147 square kilometres, which is twice the size of Hong Kong Island. Discovery Bay is 6.5 square kilometres, equivalent to 8% of Hong Kong Island, and more than 20 Taikoo dockyards are too small.

Of course, most real estate developers are not optimistic about this project, because Lantau Island is an offshore island, there are no roads, no water and electricity, it is completely a barren mountain, and it is impossible to develop real estate. There are also some real estate developers who believe that this project is too large and the prospects are unpredictable.

So, there is no one to envy!

In the waters near Lantau Island, Lin Zhichao's family and Tang Zhongyuan's family are vacationing on the 'Rising Sun' superyacht.

The two of them leaned on the railing, looking at Discovery Bay opposite, and talked about this big project.

"In my lifetime, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the completion of this project, so we must give full play to the spirit of Yugong to move mountains, and make this project a model of a world-class resort community." Tang Zhongyuan said with a sigh.

He is 67 years old this year, and the project has been in development for at least 40 years, on a one-phase basis.

Tang Xianqian, Tang Youqian, Lin Ruihuan, and Lin Ruijiang were all listening on both sides, and they could also feel the ambitions of their father and grandfather, rather than stumbling.

Lin Zhichao said: "My father-in-law has this spirit and is very inspiring to everyone, but the infrastructure in the early stage of this project is afraid that it will be hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, so I can't rush it. ”

In the development of Discovery Bay, Lin Zhichao did not want to participate in the shares, but only planned to take a share of the project in the future. As a result, a businessman named Wang Yongxiang jumped out and also wanted to develop this project, so Tang Zhongyuan took the initiative to pull Lin Zhichao, which was more advantageous.

In fact, Tang Zhongyuan is also a Justice of the Peace, an official of the Order of the Peace, a member of the Executive Council and other positions, and it is impossible for a mere Wang Yongxiang to snatch this project.

Tang Zhongyuan nodded, and then said: "Everything needs to start from scratch, of course, this is a great sense of accomplishment." In the future, we will invest in the construction of reservoirs, artificial beaches, tunnels and cables, as well as the fire stations and police stations under the government, the local primary schools subsidised by the government, and private reservoirs, all of which will be built privately by our developers."

When it comes to the planning of Discovery Bay, Tang Zhongyuan is already a little eyebrow-raising and energetic.

After the listing of Oriental Group last year, it raised 80 million Hong Kong dollars and became a large-scale comprehensive enterprise integrating textile, garment and real estate. Some of the funds raised will be used to upgrade the garment factory, part of the Discovery Bay project will be won, and part of the funds will be used as cash flow.

The entire 6.5 square kilometers of land in Discovery Bay was only paid 35 million Hong Kong dollars to the Hong Kong government, after all, it is just a wasteland, and the Hong Kong government is also willing to have someone to develop it. The Hong Kong government seems to only charge 3,500 Hong Kong dollars for land, but in fact, there is a large amount of tax and land change fees in the future.

Lin Zhichao said: "We have to get out the golf course, clubhouse, yacht marina and other facilities first, since it is a large resort-type community, it is natural to attract rich people to come here for a vacation." In the first phase of the project, villa types can be developed."

He also expressed his opinion, and the two sides discussed it like this, which was quite lively.

On the other hand, Luo Huijun also participated in this family gathering today as Lin Ruihuan's fiancée. She fully experienced what it means to be warm, and her two future mothers-in-law surrounded her and loved her, making her feel warm.

"Aunt Yun, Aunt Ying, you look younger when you get closer!" Luo Huijun suddenly said in surprise.

Originally, she thought that the two future mothers-in-law were just good at maintenance and makeup, so they looked like they were in their early thirties; When you look closer, your skin looks like a girl, and no matter how you look at it, you are less than thirty years old, and it is no problem to say that you are twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

Tang Caiyun said with a smile: "You girl, you are really good at complimenting!" ”

Luo Huijun said: "I'm sincere, tell the truth!" ”

After speaking, she took Tang Caiyun's arm and got closer.

"Haha, I'm very happy when you say this anyway, if you have a better mentality, you will definitely not age so fast." Tang Caiyun said happily.

In fact, all three of them knew in their hearts that everything was well nourished by their own men.

At noon, everyone sat around the large dining table that could accommodate 20 people, smiling happily.

The two families are 'relatively close' due to their social status and wealth, and Lin Zhichao's two wives are from Tang Zhongyuan and Song Qiaoling, so they have always been close. To put it bluntly, Tang Zhongyuan's family can have today, half of the credit of his son-in-law.

Oriental Group's textiles, garments, and real estate are all planned by Lin Zhichao, plus Tang Zhongyuan's management. At this point, Tang Zhongyuan has never shied away from it, after all, a son-in-law is half a son, so two sons-in-law are not a son!

"Father-in-law, Xianqian, Youqian, today we are going to drink the Moutai that I have treasured for almost 20 years, as for you, I will drink the red bar!" Lin Zhichao said happily.

He occasionally drinks liquor, which is a famous wine in the mainland. Despite the fact that the mainland is closed now, Hong Kong can enjoy the best things in the mainland, including tea, hairy crabs, ginseng, famous wine, and so on. To put it bluntly, Hong Kong people just eat the mainland's 'special' products, of course, they are all bought with money, and they are sold in major state-owned department stores and trading houses.

After Tang Zhongyuan tasted a sip of Moutai, he said: "Good wine!" It has to be that you have the vision to think of collecting this out-of-print Moutai (five-star mark). ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Later, I'll let Caiyun give twenty bottles to my father-in-law, and my father-in-law can take it to collect it." ”

In fact, he is not fond of wine, and he buys about 500 bottles of Moutai every year, which can be regarded as supporting the motherland. As for other products of the motherland, especially non-agricultural and sideline products, Lin Zhichao did not dare to buy them. Just like Airship Tai said, he bought some machines in the mainland, but they often broke down, and there were no parts to repair, so he could only hold the idea of supporting the country.

Tang Zhongyuan said: "I know you like to collect wine, isn't it a good thing to win people's favors!" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "What kind of favor is this, I specially collect it, and then prepare to send it to relatives and friends, where can I drink as much as I want!" For example, every year in Moutai, I buy hundreds of bottles, which can be regarded as supporting the country."

Tang Zhongyuan no longer shirked!

Later, taking advantage of the wine, Lin Zhichao took out the blue and white dragon pattern ribbed bowl of the 'Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty' auctioned at the auction this year, and admired it with his father-in-law.

"Father-in-law. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial kiln shone brightly. During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji of the Ming Xuanzong was one of the few Confucian monarchs in history who were good at literature and art and dedicated to benevolent government, and ruled for ten years.

Everyone listened to Lin Zhichao's explanation, and they were fascinated and saw Lin Zhichao's collection.

Tang Zhongyuan touched the blue and white dragon pattern ribbed bowl, and sighed: "After your explanation, I understand the ornamental and collection value of Ming Dynasty porcelain!" ”

Over the years, Lin Zhichao has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and under the guidance of his collection consultants and his own learning, he is now a collector. Of course, in the eyes of professionals, his level is still not enough.

However, almost all of the collections collected by Lin Zhichao were acquired after auctions, and the collections were all recorded from sources.

After admiring it, give the things to Tang Caiyun and ask her to put them away.

This porcelain cost Lin Zhichao more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the most valuable collection of porcelain, and the future price will be worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

"Brother-in-law, your collection is quite extensive, isn't it? Moreover, it feels like everyone is proficient, which is incredible! Brother-in-law Tang Xianqian said in surprise.

This brother-in-law is different from any businessman in Hong Kong, that is, he is a famous man in the world. There are six of its group companies, which makes people have to think, is his time enough?

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "If you are interested, you are naturally willing to learn red wine porcelain calligraphy and painting."

When it comes to collecting, he is also very interested, and everyone listens to it brightly.

Including Lin Zhichao's future daughter-in-law Luo Huijun, she can hear too many professional things from the mouth of her future father-in-law, which is secretly amazing. He originally thought that his future father-in-law would simply enjoy it if he was rich, which was completely different from his boyfriend; But in fact, I found that whether it is red wine, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, the future father-in-law has high cultural attainments, which makes people suddenly feel 'erudite and talented'.

On this day, Lin Zhichao came to the Kowloon Golden Harvest Film Administration Building and found Zou Wenhuai.

"What's going on with this movie "Outside the Window", why didn't I see it released on Taiwan Island, but it was released in Hong Kong?"

Zou Wenhuai was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the boss to even know about such a trivial matter, and he personally asked. It seems that although this boss handed over the full management of Golden Harvest Film to him, he actually knows the company very well and is not a hands-off shopkeeper.

He immediately reported seriously: "Boss, after the filming of this film was completed by Song Cunshou on Taiwan Island, Qiong Yao sued to stop the distribution of the film on copyright issues, and after winning the lawsuit, the film's producer was sentenced to prison, and the film was also banned from being released in Taiwan. Therefore, the film was premiered in Hong Kong by Golden Harvest Films, and distributed throughout Southeast Asia. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, so that's the case!

As the richest Chinese in the world, he has never been to Taiwan Island because he is worried about being used by the government.

So although he is worried about Lin Qingxia, it is useless, and where to find it in the vast sea of people is a problem.

But now that the opportunity has come, he didn't expect that "Outside the Window" was actually released by Golden Harvest Films, and Taiwan Island could not be released yet, and even the Southeast Asian agent was Golden Harvest.

"In this way, you invite the main crew of "Outside the Window" to Hong Kong to promote, after all, this film depends on the box office in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and they also have to pay attention to and cooperate with the distribution. Especially this female lead Lin Qingxia, she must be invited to Hong Kong, after all, the heroine of this movie is bigger than the male lead, and she doesn't come to talk about it! ”

Zou Wenhuai suddenly doubted that the boss should have taken a fancy to someone else!

It was very shocking and unexpected that the dignified world ship king, the Chinese leader in Hong Kong, and the richest Chinese in the world actually had this idea.

However, he still stabilized his emotions and said seriously: "No problem! I will definitely invite them to Hong Kong to publicize, especially the heroine, will the boss meet them at that time? ”

Men are not romantic, they are still called men!

Not to mention that the boss wants to know a young actor on Taiwan, that is, the boss wants to know all the actresses of Golden Harvest, that is, in a word, he is also willing to saddle up the front and back.

Lin Zhichao's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "Naturally, I want to meet, I like this movie very much!" When they come to Hong Kong, they will arrange it at the Miramar Hotel, and you will talk to me about it then! ”

It is a 'chance encounter', not the famous 'richest man in Lin' who takes the initiative to greet them.

"No problem!"

Zou Wenhuai decided to do it as the biggest thing, if this thing can't be done, then he is obviously overwhelmed!

Afternoon

After getting the boss's entrustment, Zou Wenhuai found Li Hanxiang as soon as possible.

"Li Sheng, please go to Taiwan Island with me, and invite Song Cunshou, Lin Qingxia, and Qin Han from the crew of "Outside the Window" to come to Hong Kong and hold a publicity event."

Li Hanxiang founded the League of Nations Film Company on Taiwan Island in 1963, and it was at that time that Song Cunshou joined the League of Nations as an assistant director; Therefore, Li Hanxiang and Song Cunshou have a very good relationship.

"Zou Sheng, I'll just go to this matter, I don't need you to go, you're so busy!" Li Hanxiang said immediately.

Joining Golden Harvest is the best decision he has made, he has made money in recent years, and he can shoot movies as he wants; Golden Harvest Film just asked him to shoot a money-making Fengyue film, and then also invested in his art films, and the cooperation between the two sides was very pleasant.

Because of this, Li Hanxiang is also very grateful to Zou Wenhuai, although he knows that it is Boss Lin who appreciates him.

Zou Wenhuai immediately said: "I have to go to rest assured." Because this mission is very important, we at Golden Harvest attach great importance to it. ”

Li Hanxiang said puzzledly: "So important? ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "Yes, we really want to hype it up in Hong Kong, and then expand to Southeast Asia!" ”

He went to invite, and Song Cunshou didn't dare to refuse, but he decided to make two preparations.

Li Hanxiang was very curious, but Zou Wenhuai refused to talk about it, so he said: "This matter is ten ten, no problem!" ”

After all, there are a lot of places that need Zou Wenhuai, so I will help first.

A week later, in the afternoon, it coincided with the arrival of the crew of "Outside the Window" in Hong Kong to promote and check in at the Miramar Hotel.

Lin Qingxia is also among them, her parents originally did not approve of her going away, but director Song Cunshou came to explain again - since this movie cannot be released on Taiwan Island, the box office in Hong Kong is particularly important, and vowed to arrange a female assistant to accompany Lin Qingxia on a business trip.

And Lin Qingxia naturally hopes that "Outside the Window" can be harvested, plus she has officially entered the showbiz, there is no reason not to help the crew. So in this case, Lin Qingxia set foot in Hong Kong for the first time, and even removed places other than Taiwan Island for the first time.

After the crew arrived at the hotel, Liu Lianghua of Golden Harvest Film received everyone, Liu Lianghua was Zou Wenhuai's confidante, this time Zou Wenhuai carefully arranged a secret mission for her, and Liu Lianghua readily agreed.

Just as Liu Lianghua led everyone to check in, Lin Zhichao appeared in the hall in real time, followed by Zou Wenhuai.

"Lin Sheng, general manager!" Liu Lianghua knew that it was time for her to perform.

Lin Zhichao and Zou Wenhuai were talking about things, and when they heard someone say hello, they stopped.

"Miss Liu, where are you?"

Lin Zhichao pretended not to know, but his eyes swept at Song Cunshou, Lin Qingxia, Qin Han and others, and finally fell on Lin Qingxia.

The hair has not grown yet, it is about shoulder-length level, it is said that Song Cunshou asked Lin Qingxia to cut her hair short, but Lin Qingxia refused, but the makeup artist directly cut it short on the grounds of makeup, and then Lin Qingxia cried aggrievedly, and had an awkward relationship with Song Cunshou for a while.

This situation is normal, artists in this era do not have many human rights, take Dina's filming of "The Great Warlord" as an example, Li Hanxiang obtained Dina's fruit photos (without revealing three points) through candid filming, and released the movie.

At this time, Lin Qingxia is completely a student, very pure and clean, full of aura, high nose bridge, and lips that are about to move, these facial features are the most perfect girl.

"Lin Sheng, this is the crew of "Outside the Window" from Taiwan Island coming to Hong Kong to promote, this is the director. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Lin Zhichao, and Golden Harvest Film is a company under him. This is General Manager Zou Wenhuai."

After Liu Lianghua's introduction.

Lin Zhichao was the first to hold Song Cunshou's hand and said: ""Outside the Window" was filmed very well, Mr. Song and Director Li Hanxiang are familiar with each other, right? ”

Song Cunshou was stunned at this time, he didn't expect to meet a great god here, and hurriedly bent down and said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your appreciation. I studied with director Li Hanxiang and worked in the League of Nations Film for several years! ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then said a brief hello to Qin Han. It seems that this person just got married this year, so he will definitely have nothing to do with Lin Qingxia, at most Lin Qingxia has a good impression of him at this time.

Next, it's the main event.

"Miss Lin, it's your first time acting, right?"

Lin Qingxia's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and said: "Well, does Mr. Lin think I didn't act well!" ”

She was very curious about the man in front of her, she had also heard of Lin Zhichao's name in Taiwan, but she didn't expect such a famous big man to look like he was only thirty years old.

Could it be that he has been in business since his mother's womb!

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "If I say that, wouldn't I offend you." Let's be honest, you played very well! ”

Perhaps under Lin Zhichao's approachable smile, Lin Qingxia felt very good, so she boldly said: "Mr. Lin's words are inconsistent!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but sweat, this little girl couldn't let others get off the stage, and she was a big person.

Lin Zhichao said: "How can it be contradictory! The heroine of "Outside the Window", the sentimental girl, the capriciousness of seeking death and life, and the dynastic twilight who is begging for each other, you have all played our Golden Harvest movies, and I want to find you to make a movie! ”

Everyone didn't expect that Lin Zhichao really watched the movie "Outside the Window", and thought it was a kind word!

Liu Lianghua took the opportunity to say: "Lin Sheng thinks that if Qingxia comes to Hong Kong, what kind of movie will she act in?" ”

She is very bold in this question, in case the boss can't answer it, she is offending people. But it is precisely Liu Lianghua, as Zou Wenhuai's confidante, who knows the talent of his boss, and there is absolutely nothing about this problem. Even if you can't think of it, you can easily resolve it.

But by saying this, she can give the boss and Lin Qingxia one more topic.

Lin Qingxia looked at Lin Zhichao curiously, and when she saw Lin Zhichao looking at herself, she suddenly became a little shy. No matter how big she usually is, she is also an eighteen-year-old girl, and under Lin Zhichao's temperament, she can't help but be shy.

She originally thought that Qin Han was already a very handsome man, but today she knew that there was a sky outside the sky!

Lin Zhichao only looked at Lin Qingxia for five seconds, and then said: "Miss Lin is naturally beautiful, pure and beautiful, but in fact, there is a hidden temperament, that is, heroism. If I'm not mistaken, Miss Lin is cheerful, doesn't pay attention to details, is very aggressive, and is very righteous about friends, but of course she is still beautiful. I wonder if I'm talking nonsense? ”

Everyone was stunned!

Lin Qingxia was also surprised, and then the chick nodded like a peck of rice, and became a little shy. She felt that this man's eyes were so vicious, and he could see through her at a glance.

Lin Zhichao didn't stay too long, and then said: "If you follow my idea, I hope that director Li Hanxiang will operate and shoot the love story of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", and Miss Lin Qingxia will play Jia Baoyu instead!" ”

"Seconds!" Song Cunshou reacted faster than anyone else and was the first to praise.

"That's really the case, Miss Lin Qingxia has the temperament of Yushu Linfeng, the boss is really Bole!" Zou Wenhuai also agreed.

And Lin Qingxia, who was in the incident, was already intoxicated by everyone's praise, both a little shy and a little happy.

Lin Zhichao stopped in moderation, and then said: "Okay, if you invite Li Hanxiang for this matter later, of course you have to consult Miss Lin Qingxia's opinion." ”

Zou Wenhuai immediately said: "No problem! ”

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao said goodbye to everyone, he can't be too obvious and scare other people's little girls, I believe that today has left a great impact on Lin Qingxia.

Of course, there will be a chance to meet in the next two days, after all, Lin Qingxia lives in the hotel, Liu Lianghua will know how to create opportunities, if he doesn't have this ability, Lin Zhichao is afraid that she and Zou Wenhuai will be held accountable for messing with the relationship between men and women in the company.

That same evening.

After finishing the day's promotion of the "Outside the Window" crew, return to the hotel.

Qin Han found Song Cunshou to chat and asked, "Director Song, why is Golden Harvest Movie so generous, and you still invite us to live in a five-star hotel?" ”

Song Cunshou said with a smile: "Golden Harvest Film is wealthy, and I heard that the box office of "Outside the Window" is not bad, and he took the initiative to invite us to do publicity, so it's normal to be generous!" ”

Qin Han felt a little uncomfortable with this promotion, because he was not the protagonist, and when he saw Lin Qingxia and Lin Zhichao talking happily, he didn't know what was going on and was a little uncomfortable. You must know that when filming "Outside the Window", this little girl always asked herself, and now that she is a man, he is somewhat tasteful, not to mention that others don't pay much attention to her.

"Miss Liu of Golden Harvest Movies seems to like Qingxia very much, I'm afraid she has the idea of poaching people!"

Song Cunshou looked at Qin Han, he didn't know why this prince cared so much about such a trivial matter, he said: "No, at most, it will be seconded, and Qingxia's parents will not let her come to Hong Kong to develop." Besides, it's not a word! ”

Qin Han felt weird, but he couldn't say it, so he could only leave.

It turned out that when filming "Outside the Window", Lin Qingxia asked him for advice on acting, and he enjoyed the feeling of being adored by little girls. Last time, tycoon Lin Zhichao chatted with Lin Qingxia easily, and he subconsciously tasted a little.

Moreover, he always felt a little strange during this propaganda trip, but he couldn't say anything wrong.

On the other hand, Liu Lianghua of Golden Harvest Movie seized the time to greet Lin Qingxia, and even chatted in the hotel room.

"Sister Lianghua, is your boss a very powerful person in Hong Kong?" Lin Qingxia took the opportunity to ask curiously.

Today, it was the first time she had a pleasant conversation with such a powerful person, and she felt that some of them were deeply memorable; What's more, Mr. Lin Zhichao can understand himself so well, and it is the first time they have met.

Liu Lianghua couldn't help but sigh, the charm of the boss is really amazing, and the little girl will never forget it in just a few words.

She smiled and said, "You should have heard of him on Taiwan Island, right?" ”

Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "Well, I only know that he is the king of ships in the world, the richest person in the Chinese, but I think he is a little young, not like it at all!" ”

Liu Lianghua immediately said: "Our boss did become famous very early, his achievements in business are too great, of course, his artistic attainments are also very high, and he has discovered stars such as Bruce Lee and Xu Guanwen."

Lin Qingxia immediately said: "Then is he busy?" ”

Liu Lianghua said with a smile: "He is very relaxed, didn't you just meet him and Manager Zou for tea!" ”

Next, Liu Lianghua took the initiative to shake out some legends of the boss, and Lin Qingxia was fascinated by it.
