Chu looked forward at the four watches, picked up one of the best and put it on his hand directly.

Qian Guotai's face darkened.

I thought that Chu Xiangqian wanted these things, really for business or to buy intelligence officers, but I didn't expect this kid to directly wear the most expensive piece on his hand.

Chu Xiangqian saw Qian Guotai's thoughts, "Uncle Qian, in these years, doing business or dealing with ghosts, watches, clothes, and even cars are all a means to express your wealth and heritage.

And don't think about the nobles of England very well, and say that they are now empty shells, and you are not wrong at all.

Many earls and viscounts have despised rich people in Europe and the United States over the years, and at the same time they have been looking for suitable daughters of wealthy merchants.

One is worried about other people's money, and the other wants to use his son-in-law's aristocracy to improve his family's social status.

Therefore, the richer I appeared, the more the nobles wanted to contact me. ”

Qian Guotai came back to his senses at this time, since Chu Xiangqian was doing business with ghosts, wearing a luxury watch worth at least $10,000 could indeed reflect his financial strength.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to explain to me, the thing has been delivered, it's yours."

With that, he took out a velvet pouch from the box.

Once opened, pour out a dozen fingernail-sized rubies and sapphires from inside.

"These gems are all the best quality gems, and the boss said that although you took the initiative to say that you are willing to provide free food for the mainland, it is not in accordance with the rules to take your things for nothing.

Moreover, in the medicinal herb business, the speed of recovering funds is a little slow.

Chu Xiangqian's mouth was crooked when he smiled, the big guy is the big guy, and the vision is the long term.

This box of treasures may really only be worth four or five hundred thousand Celestial Dynasty coins in the mainland, but when it is abroad, the value will increase several times in an instant.

With these things, I will have a reason to make every effort to provide more food for the interior in the future.

Even if you find some technical information or intelligence, you can hand it over to Qian Guotai openly.

However, Chu Xiangqian actually didn't care much about red, after all, the novice village itself could produce rubies.

The previous beast tooth necklace was just in the novice village jewelry store, and after spending some gold coupons, more than a dozen superb pigeon blood ruby beads appeared on the new beast tooth necklace.

But sapphires and jadeites are more valuable in his eyes.

However, with this transaction of ruby sapphire with the mainland, he will take out the ruby and send it to auction in the future, at least he will not think much about it.

I closed the box and with a thought, all the contents of the box were put into the warehouse of the novice village.

There were also seven or eight voices in my head, and the sound of the gold coupon increasing.

If you do the math, it adds a total of 213 points.

Chu Xiangqian didn't have any dark music, and said to Qian Guotai, "Wait for me." ”

Qian Guotai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Chu Xiangqian also asked him to wait for a while, and then brought 100,000 US dollars.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, when Chu Xiangqian returned to the private room again, he put the box on the table and opened it, and there were 100,000 US dollars inside.

"Since those three easter eggs are worth $300,000, I'm embarrassed to just think about taking advantage. You will be given 200,000 US dollars twice before and after, plus 100,000 to buy off the officers of the United States, which is exactly 300,000.

Later, if I get any more information, you can make up for my activities. The ruby sapphire, the emerald, and the four watches are your advance payment for the purchase of grain. ”

This model of handing over information first and then giving money, Qian Guotai naturally raised his hands and feet in agreement.

With this $100,000, in a few months or half a year, comrades who are outside the country will not have to be so frugal and hard in life.

Chu Xiangqian left the box with Qian Guotai, nodded, turned around and left.

Then sat in the car, let the stare stare at Qian Guotai again, and went back smoothly, before driving to the Causeway Bay Cinema.

entered the office where the wrinkled arms were in the theater, but I didn't expect the lard boy to be there.

The two saw Chu Qianqian knocking on the door and coming in, and hurriedly got up, one calling the boss and the other Chu Ye.

Chu Qianqian nodded, and after a little thought, he guessed that the lard boy must have come to inquire about the box office of the serpentine in the past three days.

By the way, let's talk about how to release the movie he made with Xiashan Leopard and Hong Xing's surname Jiang.

Sure enough, Wrinkle Huai made it clear in a few simple words.

Chu Xiangqian laughed, "Before your movie is released, you have to let me see what the specific content is, right?" ”

Lard Boy smiled awkwardly, and Chu Xiangqian saw at a glance that the movie made by these three guys must have an out-of-the-ordinary plot.

Staring at the lard boy, he asked, "What did the three of you shoot?" ”

Lard Boy hesitated for a few seconds before whispering, "I didn't pay attention to it for a while while while filming, but the two protagonists actually came to the set for real." ”

Nima's, Chu Qianqian believes that he has a ghost.

But I heard Lard Boy say that the heroine of their movie is the over-the-top brand of the rich man, and the male protagonist is her boyfriend, the two are probably to be famous, although they covered their bodies with quilts during filming, but like that, it is definitely true.

While Chu Xiangqian was surprised, he felt that this was actually not bad.

As long as the three points are not revealed, whether it is true or too real does not hinder the review.

After all, it's not covered with a quilt all the time.

Then he stared at the lard boy for a while, "Dead fatty, should you, the director, deliberately make that scene to attract the audience?" ”

The lard boy was nervous, and it was really not easy to fool Chu Qianqian secretly, but he guessed his careful thoughts just after listening to it.

Wrinkled Huai said with a smile, "Boss, it seems that the box office of this movie made by Brother Tsai should be good." ”

"It's not going to be good", Chu Xiangqian sighed, "The box office on Hong Kong Island shouldn't be worse than that of a futon."

As for other cities, it should be no problem to earn three or four hundred thousand. ”

There was a movie in the country of Mi back then, and the director, protagonist and cinematographer changed the script without telling the heroine, and when it was filmed, an intimate scene was called a reality.

This matter has been hidden from the outside world at the beginning, and enough money was given to shut up the heroine, and after the movie was released, the box office was a good one.

It's a pity that the movie was only released for 1 week, and it was banned under pressure from the outside world.

But the lard boy is covered with a quilt, and the hero and heroine are boyfriend and girlfriend in reality, and they will definitely be scolded after the release, but they really didn't violate the rules.

And the more you scold, the more people will watch.

That's why Chu Xiangqian said that lard boy is smart.

Lard Boy is overjoyed, according to Chu Xiangqian's meaning, this experimental movie can actually earn four or five hundred thousand.

And it only took half a month to shoot, and the cost was only 70,000.

There is even 20,000 in it, which is the loss fee for the over-the-top card.

70,000 yuan in 15 days in exchange for 400,000 or 500,000 yuan, six or seven times the benefits, just thinking about it, lard boy couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Chu Xiangqian naturally won't help in vain, "I'll hand it over to the foreign city issuance, and you just wait to get the money." ”

Lard Boy is not stupid, he knows that Chu Xiangqian will definitely take a cut of it, but without Chu Xiangqian's relationship, let alone being released in other cities, even the release on Hong Kong Island is troublesome.

Of course, it is definitely no problem to find other cinemas to release it, but among the regular cinemas on Hong Kong Island, only Chu Xiangqian and Bai Fanyu's 'Chu's Cinema Line' has the most seats and the best environment.

If it is released in other movie theaters, even if it can raise ten or eight of them, the box office will definitely not be as much as that of 'Chu's Cinema Line'.

Not to mention that Chu Xiangqian promised at the beginning that the movie between him and Xiashan Leopard and Hong Xingjiang would be 95% off.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian promised to release the movie he made in Chu's Cinema, the lard boy hurriedly asked his younger brother to get the film.

While waiting, Chu Xiangqian made a call to Sanjiangshui.

Let him from now on, keep an eye on Cao Dahua carefully.

Once Boss Cao lost too much, he immediately came to the door and went to buy the Palace Theater in North Point.

500,000 is not enough, then 1 million.

Because of the fame of this cinema, the actual value has indeed exceeded the real price of the property and land.

Sanjiangshui agreed, and even said with a smile, "Boss, it's not like I haven't done anything these days, not only my cousin is working at the ferry from Hong Kong Island to Macau."

I also found an aunt and helped her apply for a job as a maid in the Cao family.

But if Boss Cao loses money, he will definitely behave abnormally when he goes home. ”

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Sanjiangshui, and the two gossiped a few words before hanging up the phone.

Not long after, Chu Xiangqian watched the movie made by the lard boys in the small theater dedicated to watching movies in the cinema.

After reading it, he looked at the lard boy with an expectant expression on his face.

"Brother Zai, you're really a lewd talent. In the future, you will definitely make a lot of money just by making movies. ”

The lard boy smiled, with Chu Xiangqian's words, not only is there no problem with the release, but the trading in other cities should also be able to sell at a good price.

Chu Xiangqian said to Wrinkle Huai, "Ah Huai, call Superintendent Hahn, Assistant Commissioner of the Police Department, and say that I asked him to come over with Superintendent Charles, Assistant Commissioner Blair, and Director Ge Bai to talk about the cooperation of the new movie."

By the way, make a call to Lu Sheng of Cathay Cinema Line. ”

Wrinkled nodded hurriedly, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, for fear that Chu Xiangqian, the boss, would not make a dime for the sake of face.

Chu waved his hand forward, friendship is friendship, business is business, how can it be in vain.

looked at the lard boy and said, "Brother Tsai, if you want to release your movie to other cities, you will first sign a contract with the theater chain for distribution on Hong Kong Island."

At the same time, we take 3% of the issuance fee in other cities. ”

The wrinkled bosom was instantly put down.

The lard boy had a twisted expression, "Is there too much Chu Ye?" ”

Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Brother Zai, to put it mildly, if I spend 200,000 yuan to buy out your distribution rights in other cities, will you sell it with Xiashan Leopard, Hongxing and Jiang Zhen?" ”

The lard boy scratched his head, and in his heart, he must have sold it.

After all, it should be no problem to find someone willing to issue it in Macau, but when you go to Southeast Asia, except for knowing a few flour merchants, it basically has nothing to do with it.

If you take the initiative to find the door, those publishers will most likely not bird themselves.

Even if a movie theater goes to talk about it, the time it takes will definitely be calculated in years.

With this time and energy, it is better to make a few more movies.

Handed over to Chu Xiangqian, he can release it casually and go to Nanyang, and he doesn't have to worry about being released on Hong Kong Island.

It's equivalent to making one more movie, and all the distribution fees are earned.

And 200,000 not only earned back the cost, but also earned 130,000 yuan.

Therefore, even if he knew that Chu Xiangqian made more money, basically no one would object.

"Master Chu, how much do you think my movie can sell for in a foreign city?"

If it were someone else, Chu Xiangqian would definitely not say it.

But Xiashan Leopard, Hong Xing, Jiang Zhen and Lard Boy are not good people, they will definitely bully the actors and behind the scenes when they enter the movie industry.

Practitioners in this line of work, in their hands, as well as other associations that see the benefits and follow up, have suffered losses.

Most people definitely want to join their own film company.

Not only are talents flocking in, but employees who are already in the company will not leave easily.

That's a lot of good for me.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian was eager for a few associations to reach into this line.

"Ghost guy, don't talk for a while, I'm sure I'll ask for at least £30,000. On the side of Cathay Cinemas, if this movie can sell 400,000 at the box office on Hong Kong Island, the asking price of 200,000 will definitely be no problem.

As for the island countries and South Korea, the price is about the same. ”

Not only did the lard boy look ecstatic, but his wrinkles were surprised.

This is equivalent to 880,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus the box office share after the release on Hong Kong Island, which is equivalent to a net income of more than one million.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help laughing when he saw that the lard boy was so excited.

This is a small dividend for this type of movie in the market.

But first the futon of rice fish, and then there is this movie of lard boy, and in the future, there will be many movies of the same type on Hong Kong Island and even in Southeast Asia.

There are too many similar movies, not only the quality is not guaranteed, but the audience has watched too much, and the box office is definitely not as good as it is now.

There are too many examples of this in the Hong Kong Island film industry.

And kung fu movies can completely open up the Southeast Asian market.

"Call Xiashan Leopard and Jiang Zhen to come over, lest I negotiate here in a while, and the two of them still have opinions, or think that you have taken advantage of them."

Lard nodded hurriedly and followed Wrinkle Huai to make a phone call.

Chu Xiangqian walked out of the small screening room, and when he walked to the window to smoke a cigar, he saw Zhang Rongfei talking to a woman in his forties and fifties.

Zhang Rongfei saw the boss coming over, and hurriedly said to his mother, "Mom, my boss is also the big guy who worshiped the incense hall and kowtowed." Don't talk nonsense. ”

Fei's mother nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Feizai, it's too late for Mom to thank him, how can he talk nonsense." ”

Chu Xiangqian's hearing has always been excellent, and he heard the conversation between the two early.

Two or three meters apart, he threw a cigar to Zhang Rongfei, "Pretty boy, how are you singing?" ”

Zhang Rongfei was stunned, but Fei's mother understood when she heard it.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Boss, my boy sings the best, if you ask him to be a singer, you can make a lot of money by keeping it." ”

Zhang Rongfei's face instantly turned black like the bottom of a pot.

Chu Xiangqian laughed, since Yang Luming, a woman who looks exactly like Aunt Mei, is as good at singing as Aunt Mei.

It doesn't make sense that Zhang Rongfei, a beautiful boy who looks like his brother, can't sing.

"Okay, you can go to Manager Wrinkle in a while, and say I'll ask you to smoke a cigar."
