Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1824 Good news
Hong Kong people call Zhou Xingchi, Chow Yun-fat, and Jackie Chan "Double Mondays", and these three people almost ruled the peak of the box office of the entire Hong Kong 90s movie, and they can be regarded as absolute kings.

Among them, Chow Yun-fat, whether it is Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Beach" filmed in the early 80s, or Gao Jin in "God of Gamblers" filmed in the late 90s, has become a classic role in Hong Kong movies that cannot be tempered until many years ago. Afterwards, Chinese people still never forget the roles of these two films, and it can even be said that they have been branded with the brand of an era.

"God of Gamblers" is a Hong Kong gambling film released in 1989.The film is directed by Hong Kong director Wang Jing, starring Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Zhang Min, Wang Zuxian, etc., and supporting roles include Wu Mengda, Bao Hanlin, Long Fang, Cheng Kui'an, Xiang Huaqiang, etc.

Among them, Xiang Huaqiang plays the cold, unrestrained and agile bodyguard Long Wu in the film, who is a good friend of Chow Yun-fat's gambling god Gao Jin.As the personal bodyguard of the God of Gamblers, Long Wu is unsmiling, has super fighting power, and his invincible marksmanship has become a childhood memory of countless post-[-]s and post-[-]s generations.

The BGM of "God of Gamblers" has also become a classic when Gao enters and exits. The film created the highest box office record for a Hong Kong film that year, and set off a wave of poker gambling films.

Duan Yun himself is also a fan of Chow Yun-fat, but this time he chose Chow Yun-fat as the spokesperson for the Volvo 940 sedan, mainly because Chow Yun-fat's temperament is very consistent with this car, and taking Hong Kong's most popular two weeks as an example, Jackie Chan is the For action movies, he has a flamboyant personality and tends to be more sporty. Zhou Xingchi bears the label of a comedy king. If he is asked to endorse automobile products, he may lack a certain degree of calmness and seriousness, so after much deliberation, Chow Yun-fat is the most suitable.

Wanting to have a Hong Kong star endorse his products, Duan Yun quickly thought of Yang Shoucheng of the Emperor Group, because at this time the Emperor Group can be said to be half of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and his company also has many popular and well-known movie stars .

However, Chow Yun-fat at that time did not belong to the Emperor Group, but to the China Star Group.

China Star Group is actually the former Yongsheng Film Company, and the boss is Xiang Huaqiang.

Although Hong Kong film and television companies also have some cooperative relationships with each other, Duan Yun still has some doubts about whether Yang Shoucheng can do this.

If you really understand the Hong Kong entertainment and business circles, you will know that Yang Shoucheng is not really a big brother at all. Yang Shoucheng is not only not a big brother, but his status is very ordinary. The incoming rich.

In terms of wealth, although Yang Shoucheng owns 7 listed companies with businesses covering real estate, securities, entertainment, etc., Yang Shoucheng's net worth is only tens of billions, which is far less than that of Li Ka-shing and other top tycoons.In terms of status in the world, Yang Shoucheng is far inferior to someone like Xiang Huaqiang.Xiang Huaqiang's own elder brother Xiang Huayan is the leader of Xin Ngee Ann, and Yang Shoucheng's backer is actually Xin Ngee Ann.

The current Chow Yun-fat can be said to be one of the leading names in the China Star Group, so there are still many unknown factors whether Yang Shoucheng can do this, but in any case, it is much better than Duan Yun personally inviting him.

But when Duan Yun and Yang Shoucheng talked on the phone, the other party simply agreed to the matter, and said confidently that he could invite Chow Yun-fat to endorse the Volvo car brand in the mainland.

This result undoubtedly made Duan Yun very happy, and said on the phone that as long as Chow Yun-fat is willing to come to the mainland to endorse Volvo products, the price of the endorsement fee is easy to negotiate.

On the second day after Duan Yun had just finished the phone call with Yang Shoucheng, Duan Yun received another call from BJ. It was none other than his brother-in-law Wu Zhenglong who called him.

"Brother, I want to tell you some good news. Last time you told me that the Volvo 940 sedan was included in the bus procurement list. The leaders of the Ministry have already talked to the relevant departments. It is agreed to include Volvo cars in the procurement list of official vehicles of the government. It is estimated that the corresponding documents will be issued before July this year. Maybe the leaders of the Ministry will talk to you before then, so you should be prepared. "On the phone, Wu Zhenglong said with a bit of excitement.

"Really? That's really great! Thank you!" Duan Yun immediately became excited when he heard this.

Duan Yun never imagined that Volvo's inclusion in the government's public car procurement list was actually handled by his brother-in-law.

In fact, in order for Volvo to be included in the government's public vehicle procurement list, Duan Yun also attacked in many ways. He first talked about this matter with the SY Municipal Government. Later, the Liaoning Provincial Government also specially purchased the first batch of more than 1 vehicles produced by Shenyang Jinbei Automobile Factory. A Volvo car can be regarded as supporting the Volvo 10 car project with practical actions.

Then Duan Yun sought help from Poly Company. When he went to BJ before, Duan Yun talked about this matter with Xu Shaoqiang. Xu Shaoqiang said that he would also provide help, but he said that he was not very sure.

As for his brother-in-law Wu Zhenglong, Duan Yun didn't have much hope for him at first. After all, although Wu Zhenglong worked as a secretary in the Electronic Machinery Department, his rank and position were too low and he didn't have much real power. This event was organized by asking the superiors for help, and the Ministry of Electronic Machinery Industry itself was not responsible for the procurement of government vehicles, so Duan Yun at the time did not expect Wu Zhenglong to complete this matter at all, but just had a try It was only because of his mentality that he talked about this matter with him.

However, in the end, Wu Zhenglong was the first to tell Duan Yun that the matter was ready, which was really beyond Duan Yun's expectation.

"Brother, you don't have to thank me. Actually, I just talked about it with the leader at a dinner, and the leader of the ministry also agreed. I didn't do anything else." The person on the other end of the phone Wu Zhenglong paused, and then said: "This morning, the leader called me to the office to discuss this matter. He also knew that our two families are relatives, but this matter is completely business-like. Our leader said that we are in charge of the government. The leaders of the job procurement department have already considered this matter before, because the leaders of the SY city government have visited BJ several times for this matter, and the leaders of other departments have also approached them, so this matter can be successful. It is also the result of many efforts. The most important thing is that Volvo cars do meet the government's official car procurement standards. First of all, the quality of the vehicles is reliable. In addition, this car is now a Sino-foreign joint venture brand, so it can be approved by the higher authorities. Specified……"
