Chapter 431 Welcome to the 80s

Chapter 431 Welcome to the 80s
The waves are running, the waves are flowing, the surging river never stops.
"Cheng Cheng."

In the Wang family manor on the top of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, "The Bund" was playing on a 19-inch color TV in the living room of the annex building.

In 80, the movie "The Bund" attracted a lot of people.

The awesome thing about this TV series is that even Hong Kong's underworld is rushing home to watch TV, which has raised Hong Kong's law and order level by several points.

"De Ming, this Feng Chengcheng actress is pretty good? Where did TVB recruit her from? She fits your taste very well."

While playing mahjong with Mrs. Huo and several other noble ladies, Zhang Shouchun would occasionally glance at the TV and play a card.

"Oh, Hu La. Da San Yuan, Da Si Xi. Shou Chun, let's stop playing, let's watch TV together."

Mrs. Huo pushed away the mahjong tiles in front of her, didn't even take the money, and quickly pulled Zhang Shouchun to the TV.

"Shouchun, I suggest you learn from Mr. Yif and buy Rediffusion Television. Now that Jiayi Television has gone bankrupt, only TVB and Rediffusion Television are left." Mrs. Huo took the towel handed to her by the servant and wiped her hands while watching TV.

"Your Chunqiu Films employs so many people, but you don't make much money throughout the year?"

"Why not make more TV series? Look, how good is The Bund? Mr. Shaw must have made a lot of money!"

Zhang Shouchun came over with Mrs. Bao and Mrs. He from Macau, wiped his hands and face, and said nonchalantly: "I don't care much about Chunqiu Film and Television now. If I set up another TV station, I will have a headache."

"I'll still listen to De Ming. Whoever wants to start a film and television company can do so, with or without shares."

"Sister Yan Zi, you see there was Bruce Lee before, Sammo Hung after, and Zou Huaiwen who came out of Shaw Brothers, they all did well. Chunqiu Films also made a lot of money."

“You can never make enough money.”

Entering the 80s, competition in Hong Kong's film industry became increasingly fierce. After leaving Shaw Brothers, Zou Huaiwen received full support from Cathay Pacific and took control of all of Cathay Films' cinema chains, becoming the third largest cinema chain and film company in Hong Kong after Shaw Brothers and Spring and Autumn Films.

Originally, Zhang Shouchun wanted to invite Zou Huaiwen to be the general manager of Chunqiu Film and Television, but unfortunately Zou Huaiwen no longer wanted to work for others.

Although Zhang Shouchun has always had a good reputation in the film and television industry, after Bruce Lee became famous, he took the initiative to negotiate with Bruce Lee to terminate the contract and helped him set up his own film company; he also supported Sammo Hung and others to set up their own film companies.

Although they also own shares in the underlying film companies, they have also invested real money, especially after the movie is released, they will not keep dragging their feet on settling the subsequent box office revenue.

Of course, the current head of Chunqiu Film and Television, Zhou Shuyi, does not agree with Zhang Shouchun’s idea, and feels that how can there be no box office arrears in the film industry?

Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "That's right, your family doesn't care about such a small amount of money at all."

"In Hong Kong, only your Wang Deming is willing to generously distribute the assets to you ladies. You are much more prestigious than us so-called noble ladies who spend all our time eating, drinking and having fun."

"That's right." Mrs. Ho from Macau also envied: "If we want to buy any precious gold, silver or jewelry, we have to tell the masters in advance to see how they feel."

This was not an easy question to answer, but Zhang Shouchun was used to hearing these noble ladies' sour words, so he answered without letting anyone know, "What's wrong with that?"

"If you feel that you are too idle at home, you can discuss taking charge of a small part of your own business first."

"Start small and show the men what we are capable of." "Haha." Several ladies chuckled and changed the subject. The TV officially began to broadcast the
Wang Deming was also watching TV with Mr. Huo, Mr. Bao, and Mr. He from Macau.

Mr. Ho is a descendant of Ho Tung, one of the four major families in Hong Kong. Although the Ho family is no longer prosperous, it still has potential connections, especially since the Ho family is a mixed-race family with many handsome men and beautiful women.

Mr. He relied on his looks to successfully marry a beautiful wife and earn his first pot of gold.

There seems to be this tradition in Hong Kong. Many Hong Kong tycoons made their first fortune by marrying wives. For example, Li Bancheng married his cousin to get his uncle's property, Zheng Shark married a wife to inherit Chow Tai Fook, and so on.

Mr. He found Wang Deming through Mr. Huo.

At the end of last year, the situation in the Middle East was tense and oil futures soared to more than 30 yuan. The Hong Kong tycoons who followed Wang Deming made a fortune.

Mr. Ho and his team successfully won the Macau gaming license, and they were full of confidence. They thought they could easily become one of the top wealthy people in Hong Kong and Macau, but they never thought.
It's like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.
The futures market is the real big gamble, and several wealthy people in Hong Kong have already made several waves of money. The cash they can directly take out of the bank is calculated in billions.

There is a rich list in the United States, which calculates assets. Many billionaires have a lot of assets, but it is not certain that they can take out 100 million in cash.
Mr. He is a very smart man, so he really wants to get on board Wang Deming's boat.

Mr. He was dressed in a suit and tie, with a slightly flattering smile on his face. He leaned forward slightly and said, "Mr. Wang, I heard from Mr. Huo that you seem to have never been to Macau?"

"Macao is across the sea from the Hong Kong River. It is a good place to relax. If you have time, you can come to Macao for a stroll. The scenery is very nice."

Wang Deming said politely, "I'll go if I have the chance." Then he looked at Mr. He with a smile.

Why has the term "a letter of surrender" always existed in ancient times?

In fact, it also happens in modern times. If you only talk but don’t do anything, how can I know if you are the same kind of person as me?

Otherwise, why should I take you to play and help you make money?

"Mr. Wang, according to the contract I signed with the local Macau authorities, 5% of the profits from gambling will be invested in local cultural construction every year."

Wang Deming continued to smile without saying anything.

Mr. He was a little unsure. He was not in business. He used to be involved in import and export trade and later got into gambling. He felt that he could abide by the contract and keep a little bit of the profit for charity.

Mr. Huo said: "Brother He, this is what you should do if you get a gambling license."

Mr. He suddenly realized and continued, "Mr. Wang, I donate to the Hong Kong Welfare Foundation every year."

"Let's watch TV." Wang Deming didn't want to continue the conversation. "This TV series is good. I plan to introduce it to the mainland."

"I heard that the mainland is looking for a color TV production line. I remember there seems to be one in Hong Kong. What's its name? It seems that the business is not doing well."

"I think his name is Kangle?" Mr. Huo glanced at Mr. He and said hesitantly.

"What? Deming, do you have any ideas?"
