Chu Xiangqian hurriedly explained that he had only earned more than two million US dollars by relying on the export business.

It's okay not to say this, Shi Niang really can't figure out what kind of export business can make so much money in a month.

Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't say it so clearly, and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Master, don't ask, in short, there is no problem with the money I earned." ”

Chen Shenglan glared at Chu Qianqian angrily, and secretly said that when the child is older, he will hide it from his elders when he does things outside.

Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity to say, "Senior Lady, you ask Uncle Shi in the afternoon, if she is willing to go to Hawaii to live for a few months, then I will let someone go to Hawaii tomorrow to find a house."

When the time comes, you and your master, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Jiang will live in Hawaii until April next year, when the capital begins to warm up, and then return to the capital. ”

Chen Shenglan nodded, "I'll ask the second girl about this matter first, and then discuss it with your master and Master Liu in the evening." ”

Chu Xiangqian had no opinion on this, left the front door, thought about it, and went to find his top boss Tang Lianxin.

I'm going to mention the cat and mouse cartoon to him.

Old man Tang is naturally very positive about earning foreign exchange, and it can even be said that he is exporting values to the United States.

It's a pity that Chu Xiangqian is not stupid, the script of the cat and mouse must be reviewed by him, otherwise, even if it is produced, Chu Xiangqian will not take it to the United States to play.

The 57th Magic City Animation Production Factory was established, but the original name was the animation stock of the Northeast Film Studio, and it was relocated to the Magic City as a whole.

There are still some backgrounds, but there are also many difficulties.

It has been 3 years from 57 to now, and only 1 episode of 15 minutes of Zhu Bajie eating watermelon has been produced, and this is also the first paper-cut cartoon in the Celestial Empire.

This was followed by "Jigong Fighting Crickets" in 58 years and "The Fisherman" in 59 years.

This year, I started experimenting with ink cartoons again.

"Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", which was released in 61, not only won awards in China, but also won many awards internationally.

It can be that in the 6th and 70s, Modu Animation Studio has become one of the important animation film studios in Asia and even the world.

But funding has always been an issue, and no matter how popular the cartoons were, the profits had little to do with the studios.

The filming is all based on the model of appropriation from above, and the decline is inevitable after the glory.

I heard that there were foreign businessmen in the magic capital and wanted to entrust their studio to produce about 10 episodes of cartoons.

And it can be paid in US dollars, and the interest immediately came.

But before that, you still have to report to the city, and only after getting a reply can you talk about cooperation.

Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry, anyway, he also found a group of animation production teams from the United States to go to Hong Kong Island.

If the negotiation is not made on the side of the magic capital, it is a big deal to spend more time and let the team on Hong Kong Island do it slowly.

Tang Lianxin asked, how much does Chu Xiangqian plan to spend, when making 10 episodes of cartoons, one episode is three to five thousand dollars, and if the cartoons produced meet the requirements, it is likely to produce 100 episodes.

Tang Lianxin immediately became more interested.

Converted into Celestial Coins, it is 8,000 to 12,000 per episode.

For a production factory where the painter only pays a few dozen yuan a month, the loss will definitely not be lost.

And a hundred episodes cost millions of Celestial Dynasty coins. It is equivalent to the annual performance of a 1,000-person factory with very good performance.

The only trouble is that Tang Lianxin is worried that the Demon Capital does not have enough skills to produce a cartoon that Chu Xiangqian is satisfied with.

Then I asked, why do you want to make cartoons?

And 1 episode is only a dozen or twenty minutes of short dramas, not an hour and a half, which is more suitable for a long series to be played in the cinema.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while, and then said, "Some time ago, I was in the United States and acquired 20% of the shares of Universal Pictures. I plan to sell this film to a TV station in the United States through Universal Pictures. ”

After hearing this, Old Man Tang stood up violently, grabbed Chu Xiangqian's arm and asked, "You, you didn't lie to me?" ”

Chu shrugged forward, "I can't cheat on this, and before I went to Hong Kong Island, I said that I would be a media tycoon."

If it weren't for Hong Kong Island TV, which was controlled by ghosts, I would have wanted to buy the 'Li's' TV station as a whole.

If you really can't do it, then you will buy the ghost guy's 'Li's' group. ”

Old Man Tang sat down now, and hurriedly said to Chu Xiangqian, "I have to report this matter to the Second Elder." ”

After speaking, Old Man Tang thought about it carefully, "I guess that after you become a shareholder of Universal Pictures, it is likely that you will not agree to cooperate." ”

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and knew that this was to avoid the Mi people from targeting him as much as possible.

Fortunately, there is a backup plan, but there is no need to worry about delaying the shooting of cats and mice.

It's nothing more than a little longer to make.

"By the way, my uncle Mr. Gong Ruomei is not in good health, and I am worried that the cold wind in the capital in winter will affect my uncle's physical condition.

I plan to buy a house in Hawaii and let my uncle and my wife spend the winter in Hawaii.

Wait until next year 4 to get warmer and the capital will become warmer, and then return to the capital to live in seclusion. ”

Tang Lianxin frowned after hearing this, but Gong Er's physical condition had been shown to her by a national player before.

It was indeed looking for Ma San to take revenge back then, which hurt his heart and foundation.

And although Chu Xiangqian's master, sister, and uncle left the Celestial Empire, his second uncle, third uncle, and three next-generation males all stayed behind.

So Tang Lianxin didn't feel embarrassed and moved forward, "You can just look at this thing, and we have always paid attention to the freedom to come and go." Not to mention that Mr. Gong killed his relatives in righteousness back then, and he was a meritorious person. ”

Chu Xiangqian was relieved at this time, and waited to go back to the master in the evening to see what a few old men and old ladies thought.

After saying goodbye to Old Man Tang, Chu Xiangqian thought about it and went to Mao'er Hutong.

Sure enough, the woman Qin Huairu was really waiting in the courtyard.

Sitting in the hall, drinking the tea brought by Qin Huairu, I heard this woman sitting on the side and said a little eagerly.

"You don't know, I went back with two bowls last night, and my mother-in-law didn't believe that I was so lucky to pick up the leak.

However, because of this, she didn't have anything to do with me last night, and I went back like that.

At 6 o'clock this morning, he took me to the consignment store and waited.

When I saw the two bowls, which were really sold for 2 yuan and 3 cents, my mother-in-law's eyes lit up. chattered and said, when it was time to rest, go back to her mother's hometown, and come back with some old dishes. ”

Chu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and went to his hometown village to hunt for treasures, and he would definitely be able to encounter a lot of dishes from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

After all, Qin Huairu's hometown Qinjiazhuang has already sold a lot of good things to himself.

Then Chu Xiangqian thought silently, maybe Jia Zhang would put himself in prison in the future.

After finishing the gossip, Chu looked forward at his watch, seeing that it was more than 3 o'clock, he glanced at Qin Huairu, and the two quickly chatted to the bed.

——

At about 6 o'clock in the evening, Chu Qianqian, who was riding a bicycle back to the front door, saw that the master, Gong Er and others were waiting for him in the hall.

And there are seven or eight dishes on the table, and if I don't come back for dinner, the five old men and old ladies may wait until 7 or 8 o'clock to eat.

As soon as I saw him come in, I hurriedly got up and asked, "Forward, what you said to Sister-in-law Chen at noon is true?" ”

It's about Gong Er, and the first line of heaven naturally cares a lot.

Gong Changqing and Lao Jiang also looked at each other with expectation, and even Gong Er himself had expectations in his eyes.

can live, and how many people are really willing to die early.

Chu Xiangqian nodded hurriedly, "I definitely have no problem with the money problem, if you are worried that I will spend money indiscriminately, then live in Los Angeles."

I bought a 10,000-acre ranch in the small town of Solvang in Santa Barbara County, just over an hour's drive north of Los Angeles.

In winter, the daytime temperature is 20 degrees Celsius a lot of the time. In January, the coldest month, most people can survive the winter with jeans, T-shirts and jackets.

The only trouble is that although it is not cold in winter, it rains a lot, but that is also relative. Otherwise, Los Angeles wouldn't be ranked as one of the best places to live in the United States in winter. ”

It is said to be the most livable city in the United States, but in fact, it is only relative, and Los Angeles or California are hot and dry in the summer.

But the ranch for the winter is indeed more suitable for Gong Er than the capital and Hong Kong Island.

When the five old ladies and old ladies heard that he had actually bought 10,000 acres of pasture in the United States, they couldn't help but have incredible expressions on their faces.

An acre is roughly a little over 6 acres, and 10,000 acres is 60,000 acres.

This is 8 square kilometers larger than the second ring road of the capital.

Thinking that Chu Xiangqian actually had such a large land, Gong Changqing felt that he, who was a master, had the obligation to help him watch the ranch if his apprentice was in need.

Chu Xiangqian actually hopes that the master and others can retire in a relaxed environment.

In the past five or six years, the capital has been suitable for living, but it is difficult to say about the special period.

While your body is still good, let's try to see if it's comfortable on the ranch first.

In the future, I will live on both the ranch and Hong Kong Island.

In the winter, he lives on the ranch and in the summer on Hong Kong Island.

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly spent his money on the renovation of two canals, artificial lakes, and one or two thousand acres of farmland that crossed most of the pasture.

A golf course, a resort, a wine estate and a shooting range will also be built in the future.

In addition, the fact that there are now more than 1,000 cattle, nearly 2,000 sheep and dozens of horses in the pasture has been revealed.

Gong Changqing, Yitian and Lao Jiang suddenly became interested, even if the three old men were all fifty or sixty years old, they were still very interested in hunting on horseback.

Not to mention that there must be a lot of serious things in the ranch, for them, old men and old ladies, it is more important to have a place to exert their residual heat than to simply eat and wait for death.

A line of heaven glanced at Gong Changqing, Gong Changqing nodded, looked at Gong Er, who didn't speak, and said, "Sister, otherwise, let's go to the pasture to live for a few days first, and then we will go out for a trip."

And, to put it mildly, your brother and my sister-in-law and I have never gone abroad for the rest of our lives.

Now that I'm old, I really want to go out and have a look. ”

Gong Er knew his own situation, and when Gong Changqing said this, his heart also rose, and he thought of going to the United States to see while he could still move.

Looking at Chu Xiangqian, he asked, "Xiangqian, have you really bought such a large ranch?" Don't let me say yes, and you'll let people buy it tomorrow. ”

Chu nodded hurriedly, "I bought it in mid-September, and it cost me millions of dollars." Where will I lie to you, my master, my wife, and Uncle Liu and Uncle Jiang. ”

As soon as they heard that he had spent millions of dollars, the five old men and old ladies were shocked again.

When I got off work, I heard Chen Shenglan say that this kid made two million dollars last month, which was scary enough.

Unexpectedly, I turned around and said that I would spend millions of dollars to buy a ranch.

Secretly Dao, this kid has a unique talent for practicing martial arts, but he didn't expect that his ability to make money is even greater.

Gong Er and Yi Tiantian both looked at Gong Changqing and Chen Shenglan with envy, when they were old, they actually accepted such a demonic apprentice, which made people not envious.

Then I thought about it carefully, tens of thousands of acres of pasture, without such a large amount of money, it is indeed impossible to buy.

Seeing this, Gong Changqing opened his mouth and decided, "Then after you get married, we will go over." ”

The others had no opinion, and after eating a meal, Gong Changqing, Yitian, and Lao Jiang were happy in their hearts, and they all drank a lot of wine.

Even Shi Niang and Gong Er drank some tiger bone wine.

The next day, Chu Xiangqian got out of bed and was kicked out of the house by Ehime and her second aunt. Let him bring back all the things used for the wedding as soon as possible, so as not to delay them in decorating the new house.

Chu Xiangqian could only go to Xue's house early in the morning, and then drove all the things back with Xue Jianguo.

The people in the courtyard knew that Chu Xiangqian was actually getting married, and they all came to congratulate him.

In the evening, after the new house was arranged, Chu Xiangqian waited for the stupid pillar to get off work, so he invited him home and discussed the matter of setting up wine in the yard the day after tomorrow.

Silly Zhu was naturally very happy that Chu Xiangqian could ask him to cook.

patted his chest and said, as long as the ingredients are in place, keep it and use your best ability to make a good meal.

A year ago, or two years later, Chu Xiangqian would definitely do a big job.

But now, it is the time when there is the most shortage of food in the country, and finally discussed, a braised rabbit, a stewed big fish, 1 shredded radish with oil residue, and a fried cabbage with chicken offal.

Although there are only four dishes, the portions are served in sea bowls.

Silly Zhu gave Chu Xiangqian a thumbs up, "Xiangqian, you still have the ability, you can get hares and big fish this year." ”

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "If you really have the ability, it should be oily braised pork." ”

Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it a little, he knew that Chu Xiangqian didn't want to be too high-profile, otherwise with his ability, how could he not get ten or eight catties of pork belly.

No matter how bad it is, as long as you are willing to spend money and go to the pigeon market to buy it, you can still buy pork.

As for the staple food, there are 2 Erhe noodle steamed buns for one person, but the guests who eat have to give food stamps.

In the end, 4 tables in the yard were determined, and then 2 tables were set up for their relatives and friends.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and still whispered to the stupid pillar, "Rabbit, big fish, oil residue, chicken offal or something, I will prepare 8 tables, but the dishes will only serve 6 tables."

The rest of the dish is to guard against too many friends who come to the door. ”

Silly Zhu nodded, "Don't worry about this, I understand what you mean." ”

In the evening, Chu Qianqian went out and came back with two baskets of things.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of sea salt in the novice village, and the meat is salted for consumption, so it is easy to save it for two or three days in the weather of 20 degrees in October.
