Chu Xiangqian drove to 'Backbone', handed over the car to the little brother who specializes in valet parking, and entered the restaurant and walked directly to the back kitchen.

I saw that the inside was already very busy at this time, but fortunately, there was Duan Hongchun, who was not only the boss, but also an expert who knew cooking skills and kitchen rules.

Everything is in order.

Seeing Chu Qianqian walking in, Duan Hongchun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Chu Sheng, there is still half an hour to serve." ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, "Then I'll go to the door to greet the guests, and I'll leave it all to you here." ”

Duan Hongchun assured, "You can rest assured, tonight's food storage will satisfy the guests." ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't doubt this, he had eaten the new chef's skills last night, and he was indeed better than the previous chef.

Sitting at a table at the door drinking tea, it didn't take long for Bai Fanyu to walk in with Daguang and a few younger brothers with a smile.

chatting with each other for a while, a series of brake sounds came in from outside, and when they looked back, they saw Deng Fei and five or six middle-aged and elderly people who were not good people at first glance got out of the car one after another.

Bai Fanyu patted Chu Xiangqian's arm, "Let's go, today you are the owner of this restaurant, you should pick it up, and we can't do the cinema business in the future, we can't do without these bigwigs to take care of it." ”

Chu nodded forward, put down the teacup, got up and straightened the suit on his body, and took the lead in walking out of the restaurant.

hugged his fists and greeted Deng Fei and the others, his eyes swept around, and he quickly recognized several familiar faces.

Big Malaysia, small horses, Chaozhou porridge, as well as Hongxing's surname Jiang, Dongxing's Lin San, and Zhongqingshe's downhill leopard.

On the contrary, a few helmsmen with the prefix of righteousness did not come.

Thinking about it, although this group of people has no evidence that Lame Hao and Rose were killed by Chu Xiangqian, they can't escape with Chu Xiangqian.

If there was a conflict in the negotiations, Deng Fei and the others didn't want to be targeted by Chu Xiangqian.

After being polite, more than 20 people went directly to the hall on the second floor, and in order to prepare for this banquet tonight, they had the backbone to simply not receive any other guests.

So there are three tables on the second floor of more than 200 square meters.

One table is for the bigwigs, and the other two tables are divided into about them, and they are the henchmen and the head horses.

Chu Xiangqian ordered people to serve the food, and after thirty years of drinking, seeing that the big guy didn't care about drinking, he should be very satisfied with tonight's 12 all-tiger dishes.

When the food was almost finished, Deng Fei put down his chopsticks and said to Chu Xiangqian with a smile, "Chu Sheng, we came this time, one is to know and know you."

Lest there be no unnecessary conflict in the future because of a trivial matter.

Second, I want to ask Chu Sheng to raise his noble hand. ”

Chu Xiangqian frowned after hearing this, the previous sentence was nothing more than that he didn't want to be like Lame Hao, just because his subordinates were messing around, he would cause a disaster.

By the way, 6 forces came together, and faintly forced himself not to move in the future.

Chu Xiangqian has no opinion on this point, as for the so-called noble hand, it is nothing more than letting go of the righteous word and the rose's subordinates who are still alive.

Let them be able to take refuge in several major forces with peace of mind.

"I'm a foreign businessman with no foundation, how can I have the capital to say anything about raising my noble hand, thank God if people don't trouble me."

Deng Fei and the others frowned slightly, but they also understood in their hearts that Chu Xiangqian's meaning was very simple, don't mess with him, and he won't make trouble for others.

It seems that after completely absorbing the territory of Yizitou and Rose, we still have to clean up those helmsmen who have taken refuge in them.

Lest in case someone is not clear-headed, he has to avenge Lame Hao and Rose.

If Chu Xiangqian is really killed, maybe the trouble will be even greater.

After all, no matter how powerful the local forces are, there are not many times to use guns.

But after investigating Lame Hao's case, there was news that Lame Hao was killed by a sniper, and even his daughter-in-law was shot in the head.

The people who ambushed Dawei and Xiaowei used all military long weapons, and all of them had excellent marksmanship.

As soon as he made a move, he first killed the drivers of several cars, and then with the advantage of firepower and strong gun penetration, he turned several cars into a hornet's nest.

In the end, some people stepped forward and refilled their guns at those who died or not.

This alone is darker and more ruthless than their forces, and the purpose is not to leave anyone behind.

If something happened to Chu Xiangqian, and his relatives in the mainland avenged him, maybe a few or hundreds of people who came down from the battlefield would come over and make a big fuss.

You don't even have to make trouble all the time, as long as you kill a big guy, other forces and bad guys will definitely take the initiative to fight the forces that do it in order to get rid of the relationship.

In this way, another big force was uprooted.

Chu Xiangqian actually didn't want to be too involved with these clubs, and after thinking about it, he said, "Boss Deng, I recently made a movie with Boss Bai and built a movie theater, I believe there are already rumors about this outside." ”

Deng Fei and the other six bigwigs all nodded, this matter is indeed no secret.

After all, the 10 venues selected by Baifanyu have not only spent money to buy them, but also used a lot of relationships.

And there is more than one person to look for, and it is impossible to keep this matter a secret.

Chu Xiangqian continued, "Since I eat entertainment in this business, I am actually more willing to have a good relationship with the bosses.

As for the business on the road, I don't have to do anything, I don't have a way, and third, since there is no shortage of food, there is no need to grab business with you.

Therefore, I welcome you to come to me for drinks and play cards in the future.

For the rest, don't pull me along. I don't have any thoughts on the pipeline. ”

Deng Fei and the others were relieved at this time, looked at Xiao Ma, Lin San, Jiang Boss and others and said, "Then why don't you have a few games with Chu Sheng and Bai Boss?" ”

The big and small horses hurriedly waved their hands, "Uncle Deng, you are the oldest, you are not on it, how can you have our share." And our brothers have always lost nine out of ten.

If the two of them go together, maybe they won't lose their pants. Why don't Mr. Jiang and Boss Lin come? ”

When everyone heard this, they scolded the big and small horses in their hearts, everyone knew that Hong Xing and Dongxing had always been at odds with each other, and let the two opponents sit at the same table to play cards, and if they didn't play together, they had to fight.

Chu Xiangqian took the initiative to interject, "I'll forget it, just sit next to Boss Bai, you are exactly 8 people, and you can form two tables." ”

The white rice fish is now energetic, Chu Qianqian is not up, and the winning or losing is all based on luck and card skills.

Otherwise, it's to give him money.

got up and pulled the leopard sitting next to him and said, "Ah Leopard, play a few games with me, and when 11 o'clock arrives, we will call it a day." If you're not at ease, I'll call Fat Bo. ”

Having said that, no one among the 6 bigwigs dared to go first.

If after playing cards, the leopard or two other people who play cards with the white rice fish, if they are ambushed, the first person to be suspected must be the one who goes first.

Waiting for the rice fish to bring Chaozhou porridge and Deng Fei to the table, the rest of the big and small Ma brothers, Mr. Jiang and Lin San looked at each other.

Da Ma hurriedly waved his hand, "It's not good for our brothers to sit at the same table, Mr. Jiang, Boss Lin and my younger brother will accompany Chu Sheng to play and pass the time." ”

As long as Chu Xiangqian doesn't share the table with the rice fish, it naturally doesn't matter.

And at the beginning, he said that he would play a little bit, but the pony has always been arrogant, chasing a little star, and he is willing to smash hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

In his opinion, no matter how good Chu Xiangqian's gambling skills are, he can't win much in less than three hours.

If you win him, it's fun. In the future, there is capital to brag about.

As soon as 11 o'clock arrived, the money that Chu Xiangqian put on the small coffee table on the side had already stacked seven or eight stacks of wine bottles.

Xiaoma is really losing pants now, not only lost all the 100,000 cash on his body, but also asked his boss to take 200,000.

Mr. Jiang and Boss Lin are not much better, one lost more than 100,000 yuan, and the other almost lost nearly 100,000 yuan.

The three of them looked at the pile of money on the coffee table beside Chu Xiangqian, and couldn't help but shake their heads, this Nima will never play cards with Chu Xiangqian next time.

In less than three hours, Chu Xiangqian didn't look at the winning cards many times, but he put them all in the big way. And this guy rarely fires.

Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Thank you to the three big guys, I was worried that the money for building a movie theater was not enough, but I didn't expect to have a meal and raise the money for a movie theater."

Welcome back to me next time you have time. ”

Mr. Jiang and Boss Lin rolled their eyes, if it weren't for the dozen or so younger brothers watching around the table, they would have suspected Chu Qianqian.

It's just that even if Chu Xiangqian didn't make a thousand, this guy was definitely a gambling master, and he was an ordinary card friend, so a fool would play with him again.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care either, and beckoned to Duan Hongchun, who had been accompanying him, "Who paid for it tonight?" ”

Duan Hongchun looked at Deng Fei, and Chu Xiangqian immediately understood.

Counted out 300,000 yuan from the coffee table and handed it to Duan Hongchun, "Tonight is a guest invited by Xiaoma, Mr. Jiang and Boss Lin, do you know?" ”

The money is spent, but in fact, it just changes hands and goes back to your own hands.

Duan Hongchun said at the beginning that when the club talks about the number of negotiations, the restaurant does not take a dime for the 50,000 tables of all-deer banquet and 100,000 for the all-tiger banquet.

Labor and material costs are also pasted upside down.

But for Duan Hongchun, there are actually a lot of benefits.

Just getting the shelter of various societies is not comparable to money.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then gave Chu Qianqian a thumbs up.

Deng Fei would not have asked Chu Xiangqian to pay for him no matter what.

To put it bluntly, spending this 300,000 yuan is just spending money to buy peace, and Chu Xiangqian will not trouble him for no reason in the future.

Even if there is a contradiction, for the sake of money, at least say hello first

Come out for a meal and talk first, instead of using knives and guns at every turn.

And this money is not from him Deng Fei himself, but the money in the public account of Lian Sheng.

In addition, Deng Fei is about to abdicate next month, so he is spending the money of the club to make friends with Chu Xiangqian for himself.

But Chu Qianqian said that Xiaoma, Mr. Jiang and Boss Lin were entertained, and if they fought again, they would definitely offend the three of them.

However, the name of the treat is not wanted, but it does not prevent the 300,000 from continuing to be spent.

"Chu Sheng, next month and Lian Sheng's election of new people, why don't you order 6 tables of all-deer banquet here?"

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was a bit strange with the winning streak, even if the boss had a term of office, but a term of office was only 2 years.

And he can't be re-elected.

What's even more bizarre is that with their rules, it means that the new and old bosses are still hot, and they are facing the situation of abdication.

It stands to reason that it is impossible to grow.

But the reality is that he has now become the most powerful.

And it will continue for many years before it is surpassed by other forces.

Chu Xiangqian naturally would not push out the money sent to the door.

smiled and said to Duan Hongchun, "Remember to send a table of all-tiger banquet to Uncle Deng that day, and you must remember to remind me that I will come over and have a drink with Uncle Deng." ”

Duan Hongchun nodded hurriedly, and Deng Fei's eyes narrowed when he was smiling.

Bai Rice Fish's engagement in Fengyue films is easier to be found out than his movie theater.

It has only been ten days, and the box office of 6 cinemas has more than 100,000.

And I heard that the cost is only 5 or 60,000 yuan, not only will the cost be recouped locally on Hong Kong Island, but it will be released for ten days and half a month, and if you make up a one-month release period, the box office may exceed 200,000.

Nima, if there is a release every month, one or two million a year is very easy, and it is not easy to make money by making money.

Deng Fei, who was about to abdicate, naturally wanted to catch up with Chu Xiangqian and follow him to do some business.

As for the reward for Chu Xiangqian, it is naturally his relationship and prestige with Lian Sheng for many years, as well as the reputation he has saved in the major associations on Hong Kong Island.

That's why this fat man begged for rice fish vigorously, and he had to have a backbone, so he invited Chu Xiangqian to eat.

Even in order to let the white rice fish come forward, he also contacted several other forces and raised 500,000 yuan together to give the white rice fish.

When these people think about it, each side only pays 80,000 or 90,000 anyway, but they are good friends with Bai Fanyu and Lei Luo.

can also be together, asking the surnamed Chu not to move in the future, and agreed without much thought.

Now when he heard that Chu Xiangqian promised to come over for a drink when he abdicated, Deng Fei was happy in his heart.

——

Dama pressed his hand against his brother, who wanted to speak.

Signal that now is not the time to speak.

The two brothers are actually most worried that Chu Xiangqian will target them, after all, the most powerful fan stall in the entire Hong Kong Island, one is Lame Hao, and the other is their brothers.

And the rose that died in the mouth of Yizitoutang is also in the powder stall business.

This had to make the brothers suspect that Chu Xiangqian had no good impression of the people who were the fans, and even disgusted them.

Before the gang dispersed, Chu Xiangqian silently commanded the in his heart, and carefully inspected the annex of the restaurant.

Even the street next door checked to make sure that no one was ambushed outside, so I was relieved.

Before sending Deng Fei away, a young man beside him handed over a box to Duan Hongchun, "Boss Duan, this is the meal fee for Deng Bo's treat next month." ”

Chu Xiangqian nodded to Duan Hongchun, and then said with a smile, "That day, there will be 6 tables of all-deer banquet on the second floor, and 10 tables of flowing water seats on the first floor, and the cost will be asked for me." ”

Duan Hongchun nodded hurriedly, and then handed the box in his hand to Chu Xiangqian.

Deng Fei and several other bosses were stunned for a moment, and said secretly, could it be that this backbone restaurant is already Chu Xiangqian's industry?

Otherwise, Duan Hongchun would also be able to get a part of this money.

Chu Xiangqian glanced at Duan Hong with a smile, making sure that this guy was not playing carefully, but subconsciously handed over the money for the club's hospitality to himself according to the reservation.

After Deng Fei and the others left, Xiao Ma stepped forward and said, "Chu Sheng, since you are in the entertainment industry, why don't you take a stake in our brother's new newspaper?" ”

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, the matter of the founding of the Oriental Daily by Xiaoma is not a secret for people like him who watched the news on the Internet and watched short videos for a long time in his previous life.

But if memory serves, in the real world, Oriental Daily was founded in 69.

In the beginning, there were only 10 people, and sales were extremely poor in the first two or three years.

It wasn't until they started to focus on gossip entertainment that sales rose.

In just one and a half years, it soared to 80,000 copies.

After more than a year, after the revision of the supplement, the sales volume actually exceeded 300,000 copies, which is no less than the profit of the powder store.

This prompted the brothers to make up their minds and work hard to run a newspaper.

After Chu Xiangqian was surprised, he no longer cared about why Xiaoma started a newspaper now.

He smiled and asked, "How many shares are the two bosses willing to give me?" ”

The big and small horses moved in their hearts, and secretly said that Chu Qianqian meant that he would not be interested if he gave it less.

Da Ma stopped the pony who was about to speak, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "Chu Sheng, our brothers founded Dongfang Daily last year, from 10 employees at the beginning, to hundreds of people now, and the newspaper that sells more than 10,000 copies a day, and it also cost 400,000 yuan before and after.

If you want to call the shots, our brothers are not unacceptable.

After all, the two of us suffered a loss of no culture, and we tried our best to only mention the sales volume, and we just broke through the daily sales of 10,000 copies.

But you have to make sure that our brother's stake in the newspaper cannot be less than 30% and that it will not be diluted for 10 years. ”

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that the fat man in Malaysia was losing his flesh and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

I couldn't help but scold the two of them for holding a golden job, but they didn't know how to make money.

But yes, the brothers started a newspaper nearly ten years earlier, and it is normal that they don't know how to run it.

People need to be exercised, and doing business also depends on the economic environment, so that the future penguin horse will start a penguin 10 years in advance, and there is a high probability that it will have to go out of business in 1 year.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and handed over the handbag containing 300,000 yuan in his hand to Malaysia.

"Happy cooperation, two horse bosses."

Malaysia and Xiaoma were stunned, as long as they took over the 300,000, it was equivalent to their brothers only spending 100,000 yuan, and they would get 30% of the shares that would not be diluted for 10 years.

also got in touch with Chu Xiangqian.

If the movies he makes are as popular as futons, then his brothers will have a chance to become cultural people.

At that time, there will definitely be a qualitative leap in social status.

As for Chu Xiangqian, he first used the Oriental Daily to practice his hands, and when he succeeded, he then established the Oriental Horse Classic, Oriental Finance and Economics, and Oriental Magazine as a sole proprietorship.

Finally, the Oriental Group was established and the Oriental Daily was merged.

At that time, he didn't have to spend a dime, relying on the advantages of the three publishing companies in assets, he could easily make the big and small horses have to reduce their shares.

If the two of them grit their teeth and contribute money to keep their shares unchanged, it means that the money that the brothers have earned over the years is working for themselves.

When the time comes, take the money of the two brothers and go to build the group building, and the market value of the Oriental Group will rise again.

Of course, the two brothers have been gritting their teeth and following them, and they will not make much money.

It's just that 10 years later, after the establishment of the ICAC, when the brothers had to run away, the probability of buying back all the shares is not small.

His reputation in the outside world will not be damaged in the slightest.

made an appointment to go to the law firm tomorrow to go through the procedures for the change of shares, and the big and small horses happily got into the car and left with 300,000 yuan.

When everyone left, Bai Fanyu came over and asked, "I heard that the newspaper run by the two brothers seems to be losing money all the time." Achu, are you really sure? ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Uncle, do you believe it or not, at this time next year, the daily sales of Dongfang Daily can exceed 50,000?" ”

The white rice fish's eyes lit up, and then he remembered the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant, and immediately gave up in his heart and tried to find a way to buy shares.

The prospect of a seafood restaurant is indeed good, but it will take two or three years to build a restaurant on a ship.

And the investment is not small, the net worth of one or two hundred million yuan of white rice fish, after investing in cinemas and seafood restaurants, there is really not much cash.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that he didn't open his mouth and wanted to intervene.

I was going to pull him to found the Eastern Horse Classic, so as to use Lei Luo's power, but I didn't want this old man to coax him this time.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian reminded, "Uncle, it is best for you to build a seafood boat within three years, otherwise I am worried that the cost of shipbuilding will be higher and higher in the future."

Maybe it will drag on for 5 years, and what can be done with 10 million now will have to be 20 million. ”

"No", people like Bai Rice Fish have no lack of momentum and toughness, and they are very good at being people.

So much so that Chu Xiangqian likes to play with him.

But talking to him about the economy and the international situation is really playing the piano to the cow.

"Listen to me", Chu Xiangqian said after thinking about it, "Look at it, it won't take a few years for you to find that there are more and more dollars on the market."

This means that more and more Hong Kong dollars will be issued.

At that time, labor, prices, and so on will have to rise. ”

Chu Xiangqian said so bluntly that Bai Fanyu just thought about it and realized that the market value of real estate and industry would rise in the future.

"Achu, do you want to build more cinemas, when the time comes, we will earn a lot by relying on the appreciation of the land price of the movie.

Shoot a few more popular movies, not only will the movie make a lot of money, but also attract more audiences to come to our cinema habitually.

When the time comes, other people's movies will also be more willing to be shown in our theaters.

Over the course of a year, the chartering of the cinema alone can earn back two-thirds of the investment. ”

Chu Qianqian shook his head, there are so many prosperous places on Hong Kong Island.

If you build a movie theater in a place like Tsim Sha Tsui, you will definitely lose to your grandmother's house.

At this time, Tsim Sha Tsui was still a shantytown, and it had not experienced land reclamation, so it was the same as in the early 60s, when I went to Pudong to buy land.

There is no potential for investment at all.

After all, with that money, it is better to buy properties in Central, Causeway Bay and Mong Kok in Kowloon. It is easy to rent out, and the appreciation potential is also higher.

"Instead of spending 300,000 or 500,000 yuan to build a cinema in a densely populated place, it is better to buy 10 or 20 20 20-square-meter front-door houses in Causeway Bay and Wan Chai.

These shops can be left in the hand and can be passed down. ”

Bai Rice Fish is a little unconvinced of this, but there are too many vendors who have set up stalls everywhere these years, so that the rent of small shops is completely disproportionate to the investment.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about him, "Uncle, we have invested a lot of money recently, so it's better to slow down." ”

Bai Fanyu pouted, and secretly said that if he really wanted to use the money, he would ask his daughter and son-in-law to borrow 3 or 5 million, which was casual.

Chu Xiangqian thought that he was going to go to the law firm tomorrow, so he simply made an appointment with Bai Fanyu and settled the movie theater together.

Sending away the rice fish, Duan Hongchun hurriedly sent over the 60 tens of thousands that Chu Xiangqian had won.
