Chapter 498 Meeting the Legend
"People from Xinhua News Agency asked us to have dinner?" Su Chen thought for a while: "Then let's go to the appointment."

Although I don't know why the people from Xinhua News Agency made an appointment for dinner, but I think it should be about TV stations and movies.

Leaving aside the question of left and right, Su Chen knows which side his butt should sit on.

After work, the two asked the driver to take them to the Asia Hotel in Happy Valley. After parking the car, they saw several people waiting, both men and women.

After getting out of the car, a woman stepped forward quickly: "Mary hello."

"Peng Yan, long time no see." Tang Wanru shook hands with her affectionately, and then greeted several others: "Mr. Niu, hello, Mr. Han."

"Miss Tang, long time no see." Mr. Han said with a smile, "I invite you to dinner rashly. If I disturb you, I will apologize to you here."

His eyes fell on Su Chen: "This one must be the chairman of Shengshi, Mr. Su Chen?"

"I'm Su Chen, hello." Su Chen shook hands with him, and shook hands with several others in turn.

When Peng Yan and Niu Zhao saw that the legendary chairman of Shengshi was so young, they couldn't help feeling emotional.

Because this young man really shocked them. From the development of Shenzhen to the things that have been done in the past few years, everything has far-reaching significance.

If they hadn't learned about the origin of Shengshi in advance, they all thought that it was a company of the same nature as China Resources.

However, this company that has shown its talents in the great development industry is a private company, and has nothing to do with the above.

"Two, please come inside." Han Li took the two of them to the second floor of the hotel, which is reserved for some special guests.

Su Chen looked around and asked, "Are you only inviting us to dinner today, or are there other guests?"

He doesn't like to get involved with political things, but in this circle, he will naturally not avoid it.

At the same time, there is another point, Hong Kong's entertainment industry will never lack crooked methods, whether it is Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai who are big shots, they have all used them.

It's just that after the two people's big business, they changed to spending money instead of sending martial artists to the set to make trouble and other violent incidents like before.

Although everything seems to be calm now, a dark age in the film industry is coming.

Since the signing of the agreement, the British Hong Kong government has loosened its control over the society. This can be seen in movies or about the Thief King's debut on the street.

The deliberate laissez-faire of the British Hong Kong government, coupled with the prosperity of the Hong Kong film market, will attract more and more gang forces into the film industry.

Although Shengshi Media wants to gain a place in Hong Kong's film market now, it must be more aggressive than others.

Before Han Li could reply, Su Chen had already thought of various things in his head.

"There is also Mr. Huo." Han Li said: "Actually, we are just an intermediate channel for this meal. The person who really invited you is Mr. Huo. However, it is inconvenient for Mr. Huo to show up, so we will make a compromise arrangement."

"Mr. Huo?" Tang Wanru frowned slightly, and asked curiously, "But Huo Yingdong, Mr. Huo?"

"It's indeed me." There was an angry voice from outside the door, and then the famous Mr. Huo walked in.

Huo Lao and his eldest son Huo Zhenting, followed by President Xu.

Su Chen hurriedly stood up with Tang Wanru, and the others also stood up quickly: "Hello, Mr. Huo, hello, Mr. Huo."

"Hello, hello." Mr. Huo said with a smile: "I wanted to entertain you at home, but it's inconvenient to think about it, so I'll ask them to help you arrange it. Sit down quickly, don't be too polite."

After everyone was seated, President Xu said, "Today I finally met the legendary chairman of Shengshi, so he is so young."

"President Xu praised you." Su Chen said plainly, honestly, he didn't expect to see President Xu today.

He didn't have a good impression of President Xu.

"I didn't expect that the chairman of Shengshi would be such a young person. It seems that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."

Mr. Huo said with a chuckle: "Moreover, it only took a few short years for Shengshi to develop from a small and unknown company to what it is today. This is something we can learn from."

"All of this was brought about by our president, Tang Wanru. Without her, Shengshi would not have achieved what it is today." Su Chen is never stingy with compliments, and Tang Wanru is still his own woman, so he needs to praise more just work.

Tang Wanru said: "Actually, if I didn't have the chairman's unconstrained ideas, I wouldn't be able to do it. It also happens that the mainland is reforming and opening up. We just do the right things at the right time. Compared with Mr. Huo, you are the only He is someone worthy of our study.”

President Xu arranged for someone to bring the food, and said: "Today's meal is a banquet for Mr. Huo, and we are just borrowing flowers to present Buddha."

"To see these two, I think this trip is worthwhile." Mr. Huo said with a smile: "Come, let's eat food."

A few nice side dishes, plus some Moutai.

At the dinner table, everyone chatted about things in the mainland and Hong Kong, but Xiao Huo didn't talk much, and didn't open his mouth much.

President Xu suddenly raised a topic.

"I heard that Shengshi is planning to acquire ATV, right?"

"Yes." Su Chen nodded: "At present, we are already in contact with ATV, but we don't know whether Mr. Qiu will sell it. We are now vigorously promoting the film industry, so naturally we hope to get involved in the TV industry, because the TV industry is in some areas. The effect of this aspect is incomparable to movies."

"This is true." Huo Lao said: "Since you are interested, then I will go home and talk to Lao Qiu. He has a lot of things at home now, so he should be able to sell."

"Then thank you Mr. Huo for your help." Su Chen said with a smile: "I believe that with Mr. Huo's help, we will be able to go smoothly."

"Actually, he should have intended to sell it a long time ago. Even if I don't call him, he should still sell it." Mr. Huo asked, "The "Metropolis Morning Post" also belongs to your prosperous age?"

"Yes." Tang Wanru took over the conversation: "It just so happens that the business needs it, so we will develop "Metropolis Morning Post."

President Xu smiled and said, "I've seen your newspapers. They are beautifully produced and distributed for free. You also invested in Kangnian Bank and Debao, and bought Shaw Cinemas. Shengshi is very powerful."

This president Xu is like this, his bones are very soft, so soft that he would nod and bow when he sees the rich and famous in Hong Kong.

"Prosperity is actually just a wider scope of business." Tang Wanru said: "The foundation is very weak."

"You can develop slowly with a weak foundation. Your Shengshi Real Estate is developing very rapidly in the mainland. How about we work together on a project?" Huo Lao said.

Su Chen became interested: "I don't know where Mr. Huo wants to develop?"

"Nansha." Huo Lao said: "Once the Luoxi Bridge that is about to start construction is opened to traffic, it will open up the passage from Guangzhou to Nansha. Nansha is still worth investing in."

"Okay, Shengshi Real Estate plans to invest [-] million US dollars in the early stage to invest in Nansha."

Su Chen made a decision instantly: "We will add more on this basis in the later period. In addition, Mr. Huo has been working hard for the sports cause in the mainland. For this reason, he also established a sports foundation. Shengshi also donated [-] million Hong Kong dollars to our sports cause."

"[-] million Hong Kong dollars?" Not only Mr. Huo was stunned, but everyone else was also stunned.

Just now he said that his foundation is weak, and he actually took out [-] million Hong Kong dollars in the blink of an eye, without even blinking his brows.

Is this guy rich too?
Tang Wanru nodded: "Yes, since we have the ability, we must naturally promote the sports industry in our country. Tomorrow, [-] million Hong Kong dollars will be credited to the foundation's account."

Huo Lao picked up his wine glass: "Thank you two heroes for your help, I believe our country's sports industry will be even better, please."

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, please."

Everyone picked up their glasses and drank it down.

Although Huo Lao has an extraordinary position in Macau's gaming industry, Su Chen will not speak at this time, and the gaming industry is not eager to enter Hong Kong now.

His plan is to wait for the introduction to Macau, if he is rejected by the gambling king, he can find a way to solve it himself, there is no need to waste favors.

But when it comes to Nansha's investment, it's hard to describe in Yuanshikong.

During the construction of Nansha, Mr. Huo encountered a lot of vicious competition and even extortion

Huo Lao built a small Puzhou garden. "Someone" dug some loess and planted a few small trees near the foot of the mountain, and "wanted" to leave 1500 million yuan.

As a result, Mr. Huo said afterwards: "I have been engaged in engineering all my life, and I have never seen such an outrageous thing."

Anyway, the water supply and power supply of all projects are stuck in the hands of the "local". Every time Mr. Huo invests in a project, he has to encounter various checkpoints, which greatly increases the investment amount.

But now if Mr. Su intervenes, whoever dares to stretch out his claws will be cut off by him.

After eating this meal for about an hour, Mr. Huo said: "We are familiar with each other now, and I will invite you to a banquet next time when I am free."

"It should be us who treat the elders as the juniors." Su Chen said, "I will invite Mr. Huo and your family again when I come back from the United States."

Why are you going to America?
Of course, it is to buy Apple shares in the hands of Jobs.

If there is no accident, Jobs will leave Apple soon, and how long will it be if he does not buy his shares now.

Although it is also possible to buy shares after 87, it is not as good as the 11% in the hands of Jobs.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to invite me to dinner." Huo Lao said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to the people from Xinhua News Agency, everyone came downstairs.

They drove away one after another.

After getting into the car, Tang Wanru asked, "Are you going to America? When are you going?"

"I'm going to the U.S. in a while, because I'm going to buy a share of Apple. Then you should take care of Hong Kong, especially the film and television business."

Su Chen said: "I have a hunch that the film market in Hong Kong will become more and more chaotic, and civilized methods may not work. When necessary, some violent measures must be taken."

"At the same time, you also need to take care of your personal security. Those gang members don't have any rules to talk about. I'm still thinking about whether to support one."

Tang Wanru nodded: "I will pay attention to it, and you should also pay attention to your own safety when you go to the United States."

Regarding the issue of security, Su Chen has always been worried about it, because those gangsters can do anything for money, and they have no morals at all.

"Let Shirley bring Hong Jinbao to the meeting tomorrow, and I want to meet two people through him." Su Chen said.

Tang Wanru asked suspiciously, "Who?"

"Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Huimin." Su Chen said, "These two people have some status in Hong Kong. Don't look at us as rich, but we still have to beware of those rascals. If we have something to do, we will all It's going to give you a headache."

"it is good."

Doing business requires dealing with all aspects.

And money is the most critical part of safeguarding the interests of both parties, but you have to master it carefully, otherwise you will be a cash machine for those gangsters.

The two did not continue the topic.

When we were about to reach Repulse Bay, it began to rain suddenly.

A woman in front was rushing forward, Tang Wanru suddenly asked the driver to stop the car, and then opened the window: "Get in the car!"
