"I understand, boss", He Guanchang said busily, "The film company has to make money, and the theater chain has to make money." And relatively speaking, the theater chain makes money more steadily and for a longer time. ”

Chu Xiangqian and Wrinkle Huai nodded at the same time.

"Then Ah Chang is still in charge of the production of the follow-up movie", after speaking, Chu looked forward at Wrinkle Huai, "The introduction of movies, Ah Huai, how hard you work." ”

Wrinkle Huai hurriedly shook his head, "This is what I should do, otherwise I am worthy of the salary given by the boss." Moreover, it also gave me and Ah Chang a platform to express our ambitions.

It's up to us to thank the boss. ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, and He Guanchang looked at Wrinkled Huai in surprise, and secretly said when did this guy be so good at sycophancy.

After Chu Xiangqian smiled, he advised, "Imported movies must be strictly censored, and my attitude towards the mainland is neutral." So don't have a plot in the movie that will make the ghost uncomfortable.

In the future, the movies we shoot, as well as the movies that are shown in theaters, should not have plots that make the mainland unhappy.

Mr. Bai will support me in this matter, and he is still worried about importing agricultural products from the mainland into Hong Kong Island when the drought in the mainland has passed.

Just importing grain and live pigs, Boss Bai and I will have a net profit of several million dollars in the next year.

Moreover, the grain imported from the mainland is due to lower transportation costs.

It means that in the future, the cost of eating for ordinary people on Hong Kong Island will be lower, and the Hong Kong government will definitely be happy to see this happen, understand? ”

Wrinkle Huai and He Guanchang glanced at each other, and the business of the secret boss and Boss Bai was really wild enough.

actually paid attention to the mainland.

But if you think about it, the boss's words are indeed true.

From Southeast Asia in the future, rice will have to be shipped by sea, and the cost of this alone will rise by one or two percent.

As for live pigs, the wear and tear when shipping by sea is not small, and the cost will be higher.

That's why there is, obviously there is only one port apart, and the pork in the mainland only costs a few cents, but the Hong Kong Island side costs one or two yuan a catty.

In the future, there will even be examples of coriander arriving on Hong Kong Island, 400 yuan a catty.

Of course, this is also the reason why the booth fee on Hong Kong Island is too expensive and the cost of living is too high.

Wrinkle Huai hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, boss, Ah Chang and I will definitely strictly control this problem." ”

He Guanchang also nodded.

Chu Xiangqian was relieved at this time, and thought in his heart that he didn't have to come forward to introduce movies.

As long as the mainland asks which film company introduced the film and which theater it is released in, it immediately understands that it must be his decision to move forward.

In the end, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "You two have time to go to Dongfang Daily and talk to Editor-in-Chief He Yisheng."

The newspaper publicizes it for you, and you also help the newspaper get some celebrity gossip news for them. ”

After speaking, Chu Xiangqian told the fact that he owned 70% of the shares of Dongfang Daily.

Wrinkle Huai and He Guanchang are overjoyed, which means that the company has its own publicity channels and mouthpieces, and other companies want to find trouble with the company, and the company has a channel to fight back.

"Boss, nothing else, let's go do things now. The movie will be released the day after tomorrow, and the time is quite tight. ”

Chu waved his hand forward, and the two immediately got up and went out to do something.

When he got out of the small screening room, Wrinkle Huai pulled He Guanchang to the side and said in a low voice, "Ah Chang, this is an opportunity for the two of us to soar, understand?" ”

He Guanchang nodded, "Brother Huai, you can rest assured." Whether it's a good movie, sit in your current position. If you still want to make more money, follow the boss. ”

Wrinkled nodded reassuringly and smiled, "In the future, even if we just open a grain store, leaking a little oil and water from the boss's fingers will be enough for us to make a fortune." ”

After listening to this, He Guanchang smiled, "Now it seems that the boss and the Shaw Family, the only weakness is that he is younger, and the development time is a little later."

But the future is definitely greater than that of Shaw Brothers. Not to mention the relationship between the boss and the princess, it seems that it is not shallow. ”

Wrinkled Huai knew that he was talking about Margaret, and the two laughed tacitly, and then went their separate ways.

In the screening room, Margaret saw that Chu Xiangqian had finished talking about business, so she leaned her head on Chu Xiangqian's shoulder and said with a smile, "My dear, why don't you give me this movie and take it back to England for release?" ”

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and his first thought was that this chick wanted to help herself, "Okay, being a movie distributor is actually quite profitable." ”

After speaking, I told Charles and Blair that they earned 100,000 pounds from a movie on Ah San's side.

Margaret immediately covered her mouth, "God, how is this possible?" ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, and put that movie with a little color, as well as the tens of thousands of strong 'female dry' cases on Ah San's side every year, and this is still a reported case.

Endure the number of unreported cases, and definitely say 10 or 20 times more things.

Margaret was immediately shocked, and at the same time understood why Fengyue movies could sell so well on Ah San's side.

"My dear, if you make this kind of movie, if someone breaks the news, it will affect your reputation."

"Don't worry," Chu Xiangqian explained, "The movie was made by one of my business collaborators, and I just gave him some ideas at most."

So on the surface, it has nothing to do with me. And I didn't profit from that movie either. ”

Margaret was relieved at this time, if it was rumored that Chu Xiangqian was involved in the business of astringent affairs, it would be even more difficult to maintain the relationship between the two of them in the future.

Towards the end of the movie, Margaret saw that in the movie, Chu Xiangqian teased the protagonist like a cat and a mouse, and couldn't help but smile and said to Chu Xiangqian, "My dear, seeing this, I feel sorry for the gentleman who played the protagonist in the movie."

But just this fight, as well as the fight at the beginning of the movie, I am confident that this movie will definitely do well at the box office. ”

Chu Xiangqian also faintly felt that the box office of the movie would explode, and the plot of the fight alone would exceed this decade.

And this is different from the director's preaching in the movie, if it's just that the fight is more exciting, the audience can't accept it for no reason.

After the movie was played, Chu Xiangqian personally stared at the people in Sanjiangshui and took the film back.

Then tell them to take it back to the company and lock it up.

Then I got in the car with Margaret and looked at the time, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I met a phone booth and asked people to park their car and made a call to the airport to ask.

Sure enough, the plane flying from London landed in half an hour.

The convoy turned around and headed for the airport.

When we arrived at the airport, the plane had just stopped at the hangar.

This time, it was Langdon, another of Norton's bodyguards, who escorted the antiques.

Taking Margaret on the plane, Chu Xiangqian saw more than a dozen large wooden boxes again.

Langdon took out a locked suitcase and opened it in front of Chu Xiangqian and Margaret.

And he saw that there were two ancient books, a scripture book, and a picture scroll.

Chu looked forward at the ancient book, where the four words of Yongle Dictionary were written, and his breathing became heavy.

Hurriedly put on white gloves and check carefully.

Another volume of scriptures is the Tang hand-copied version of the Diamond Sutra, but unfortunately it is not a Dunhuang relic of the printed version.

Otherwise, it would be a national treasure among national treasures, and at the same time, Chu Xiangqian also knew that it was impossible for the ghost guy to give him that pair.

The picture scroll is a picture of the Arhat that the monks were accustomed to resting at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

After Chu Xiangqian finished reading it, although with his current appraisal level, he couldn't be 100% sure of the authenticity, but as long as he was included in the game, everything would be clear.

Once it's all true, it's indeed a national treasure-level antique.

An resisted the excitement in her heart, closed the suitcase, and carried it in her own hands.

In fact, it was silently stored in the warehouse, and in an instant, there were four consecutive +100 gold coupon promotion sounds in my ears.

Chu Xiangqian's heartbeat suddenly pounded, this was the first time he had encountered it, and one thing was a treasure with +100 gold coupons.

Take a deep breath, and then your emotions will slowly ease.

Then Langdon pointed to a dozen boxes and said, "SIR, a total of 150 pieces of porcelain, 16 calligraphy and paintings, and 9 bronzes, our offer is 70,000 pounds."

The remaining £30,000 was offset by the two paintings. ”

With that, Langdon unraveled the two wooden frames of the oil painting that were fixed and protected by the two wooden frames from one of the boxes.

The wooden frames were dismantled with tools, one of which was a portrait of a woman by Matisse, and the other was a memory of Dalí's time.

Chu Xiangqian had naturally heard the names of these two people, and knew that both of them were still alive now, and like Picasso, they were already famous, but the paintings could not be sold for a high price.

But a few decades later, at least millions, tens of millions of dollars will be painted.

Chu Qianqian nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Langdon, "Help me tell Sir Mountbatten that I also like the paintings of Dalí and Matisse."

If you can't buy Picasso's paintings for the time being, you can pay more attention to the paintings of these two painters. ”

Langdon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Chu Xiangqian was too obsessed with Picasso's oil paintings before, so that the Mountbatten family felt that Picasso's oil paintings were becoming more and more difficult to collect, and at the same time, they also had the idea of hiding a few of them.

This time, he actually bought two Picasso paintings, but they didn't ship them to Chu Xiangqian.

Thinking that Picasso praised Dalí, he simply set his eyes on Dalí's paintings.

As for Matisse, although he has long been famous, not every famous painter's paintings are worth a lot of money.

Just like Picasso's current oil painting transaction record is 50,000 US dollars, but many of his other paintings are worth thousands, or even hundreds.

This can be regarded as bullying Chu Xiangqian, who does not understand the real price of European and American oil paintings.

Of course, for the sake of a long-term transaction, the Mountbatten family did not go too far, and Chu Xiangqian only spent money to entrust the Mountbatten family to help him purchase these antiques and oil paintings.

This was the first time Chu Xiangqian traded white tiger skins with the Mountbatten family, he had this preparation in his heart.

It didn't take long for the fourteen boxes to be delivered to a bright truck.

Chu Qianqian got into the car, and the convoy walked all the way to Yau Ma Tei.

Arriving at home, the boxes were carried into the first floor, where a large room had been converted into a warehouse.

When the people went out, Chu Xiangqian casually put it all into the warehouse of the novice village, and instantly remembered the voice of +5800 gold coupons in his mind.

The aperture also rapidly expanded outward by 58 meters, plus the 4 meters of the 400-point coupon just now, which is equivalent to a total expansion of 62 meters.

Not only the stables on the south side of the village, but all of them are revealed.

The island in the middle of the river, to the east of the village, also reveals at least two-thirds of the landform. The fish in the river also increased by 200 catties.

In the future, I will be able to get a full 1,000 catties from the river every day.

The forests in the north naturally reveal more trees and fruit trees. Chu Xiangqian just swept around casually, and found 10 bayberry and 10 lychee trees.

If it weren't for Margaret still waiting for him outside, Chu Xiangqian would definitely enter the novice village and collect all the lychees from the 10 lychee trees to taste.

Then I saw the wild boar in the woods, and added 2 new spawn points.

In the future, the number of wild boars per day will be changed from 1 to 3.

The hilly landscape to the west also reveals several intact hills.

The number of bears has also increased to two, and there are 10 silly spores on the mountainside of a hill to the southwest.

Chu Xiangqian didn't think about it, so he ordered Da Zhuang and Hongniu to brush the 10 stupid spores.

When he closed the door and got into the car and was about to arrive at the backbone restaurant, all 10 stupid spores were brushed and 300 experience points were gained.

With the addition of two new wild boars and a bear, it is equivalent to an increase of 800 points per day.

The amount of experience that can be gained per day has also skyrocketed from 1,900 to 2,700.

The pace of upgrades has also been accelerated by almost a third.

Let Da Zhuang and Red Niu drag 10 silly roe deer back to the warehouse in the novice village.

Then the 7 stupid spores raised in the village were also killed.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Duan Hongchun saw the convoy appear, and hurriedly walked out, wanting to open the door in person, but he didn't want to be stopped by several bodyguards before he walked in.

Chu pushed forward the car door and got out of the car first, then reached out to help Margaret out, looked at Duan Hongchun with an embarrassed face and asked, "Have Chief Superintendent Charles and Assistant Commissioner Blair and the others arrived?" ”

Duan Hongchun hurriedly shook his head, "The appointed time is 7 o'clock in the evening." ”

Chu glanced forward at his watch, it was only 6 o'clock now, and it was indeed a little early.

He looked at Margaret, who was following him and holding his arm, and said, "Peggy, do you want to have some dessert first?" ”

Margaret, who was running around in a car all afternoon, was actually hungry and was still in London or in a hotel, drinking afternoon tea at three or four o'clock.

Then dinner is served around 8 o'clock.

Nodding hurriedly, Chu Xiangqian was not verbose, and took her up to the second floor.

I saw that all the round tables on the second floor had been removed, leaving only a long table three meters long and one meter and two meters wide, placed in the middle.

The tableware on the table has also been replaced with Western-style ones, and even on the table, there are two Western-style candlesticks.

Chu Xiangqian actually only knew a little about these Western-style dining utensils, and asked Margaret what was wrong.

The corner of the girl's mouth smiled, and in Chu Xiangqian's embarrassed expression, Duan Hongchun's cold sweaty gaze, she said for four or five minutes before stopping.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care much, after all, he knew very well in his heart that even if he was an Englishman, he rarely maintained strict dining rules for Western food now.

It is probably the royal family and the big nobles who will always keep these rules and regulations.

But to Duan Hongchun's ears, it was rude and making mistakes.

Fortunately, when I secretly looked at Chu Xiangqian's expression, I didn't see that he was angry, so I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then while I went to the kitchen to serve desserts, I took out a small notebook and kept recording it.
