the longest dream

Chapter 388 The Day of Death
Rice Grain Depot Alley, Gujia.

I have already contacted through Li Suzhi last night, and I am here today for a courtesy visit.

Zhang Qing brought Zhou Yanyan along, the old lady liked her.

Sure enough, after being led in, after Zhang Qing said hello, the old lady only left Zhou Yanyan to talk.

Among the older generation, there are not many who treat Zhang Qing so indifferently.

When Gu Weihong took Zhang Qing to the east wing of the courtyard and sat down to talk, he teased, "Are you not used to it? You really think you are a treasure, everyone loves you?"

Zhang Qing was ashamed, and Gu Weihong glanced at him, pointing out the reason: "The old lady is not very close to those who care about her."

Zhang Qing's speech was stagnant, and he didn't even have the confidence to explain.

Gu Weihong smiled again, and said, "Okay, you can handle your own affairs. What does Hong Kong Island say?"

Zhang Qingdao: "Yao Lixin's family has let go and is willing to sell ATV and crocodile shirts. The asking price is [-] million yuan, plus [-] billion Hong Kong dollars in borrowing money. Qiao Liushu said that Yao Lixin has a lot of affection for the mainland. A lot of money. Moreover, he is also a good hand in running a business. It is a pity that Lixin Group has collapsed like this. It is not a bad thing to be able to help."

Gu Weihong nodded, and said, "I've heard of Yao Lixin, and I think it's good. Zhang Qing, what are you going to do with ATV after you get it? Just like Ming Pao, don't ask?"

Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "ATV is different from "Ming Pao". ATV has to be a window to introduce mainland China to Hong Kong Island and Chinese people around the world. The reason why ATV's ratings are not high is because the Hong Kong Island Broadcasting Bureau requires ATV to Science and education content must be played for a certain period of time, and English content for a certain period of time. Coincidentally, there are too many things to display on the land of [-] million square kilometers."

Gu Weihong smiled and said: "It's not too bad! Let me remind you that some old comrades are very upset about the "Ming Pao" incident this time. You don't need to explain, of course I know the reason is here, but when the old man was around No one agrees with the reform and opening up, let alone you? Therefore, ATV’s standpoint, it’s best not to deliberately pursue neutrality and fairness. Let me tell you, from the moment a person is born, wherever you are born, your standpoint is there. How can there be any neutral and fair statement, understand?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Of course. This point is the same in any country."

Gu Weihong smiled with satisfaction: "No wonder Suzhi likes you so much, she is sensible. Have you ever thought about how ATV can make money? Don't suffer too much."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "That's not true. I still have more experience in cultural content."

Gu Weihong said with interest, "Tell me about it."

Zhang Qing paused and said, "The system for filming TV dramas in Hong Kong Island is relatively mature. After the Hengdian Film and Television City is completed, a large number of high-quality TV dramas can be shot. Previously, TV movies on Hong Kong Island were mostly shot on crude studios. .It can be directly used as a remake, and then sold to various David TVs in the mainland, and it can make a lot of money."

Gu Wei's red eyes lit up and said, "Is it more profitable than you speculating in foreign exchange?"

Zhang Qing smiled helplessly: "Then how can it be compared... In terms of the speed of making money, robbing banks is not as fast as making money in finance."

Gu Weihong couldn't help being disappointed and said: "Zhang Qing, how much can my [-] million yuan be doubled this time? Give me a word, or I won't be able to eat well."

Zhang Qing thought for a while and said, "By the end of this year, [-] million is still no problem."

Gu Weihong sighed and said: "Look at your mother-in-law, she lives in a big American villa, sits in a luxury car, and plays comfortably in the ranch. I heard that Juanzi is still watching yachts and straight lift the plane?"

Zhang Qing smiled dryly, nodded and said, "I'm going to buy it. I made a lot of money following Johnson, and I have to pay some protection fees to make them think that all the money will be spent in the United States. If it can be less troublesome, it will be less troublesome."

In fact, a very good yacht costs only a few million dollars, and a civil helicopter with good stability costs only two to three million dollars, and tens of millions are big guys.

But the reason for spending money is not only the reason Zhang Qing said, but also because the American company has made money.

Two records plus two movies, if the money earned is not spent, those who can pay taxes will vomit blood.

The part that is spent can actually reduce taxes. The more you spend, the more you can reduce. In this way, the yacht and helicopter are the same as those given by the IRS...

Gu Weihong was still envious: "When can I go to the United States to buy villas and yachts?"

Zhang Qing smiled, knowing that this was an asking price.

He didn't feel disgusted, but felt relieved.

In many cases, things that can be solved with money are much easier than owed favors.

He and Gu Weihong didn't have much friendship in the first place, and he owed more and more favors, but he was even more stressed.

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Aunt Gu, if I want to give you these, you must not agree. How about this, I will try my best to maximize your [-] million income."

Gu Weihong waved his hand and said, "Don't give me a subsidy privately, that's outrageous. If I want to collect money, I won't only have [-] million in my hand."

Zhang Qing hurriedly said: "Aunt Gu, you can rest assured that this is not the case. I originally thought that after helping Hong Kong Island repel Johnson, I would pay less in blood, so as not to let the people of Hong Kong Island feel that we are taking advantage of the fire. Later, I figured it out. Now, since Hong Kong Island advocates the operation of capital, it makes no sense to let the British and American capital feast on it, but our compatriots are not qualified to eat it?"

Gu Weihong said happily: "Really? So confident to beat Johnson?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Johnson will lose, there is nothing wrong with that. It's just that he has messed up the stock market and property market on Hong Kong Island this time, which is terrible. The stock market is still relatively easy to recover, and the property market may take ten years. Only then can you regain your vitality. Aunt Gu, after this time is over, it’s not easy to buy a luxury house in the United States, but you can definitely buy a luxury house on Hong Kong Island. But don’t buy too much, just buy a place you like enough to live in.”

Gu Weihong smiled and said, "Just tell me, if I let you let go, how much can I earn with my [-] million?"

Zhang Qing said: "[-] million Hong Kong dollars, no problem."

Gu Weihong happily clapped his hands and said: "Okay! Then [-] million, I will write it down!! As for the Hong Kong Island Broadcasting Bureau, you don't have to worry, I have a very good relationship with the Guo family in Hong Kong Island, they are a big family They all work in the Hong Kong government, and they belong to jazz, justices of the peace, and councilors. Don't worry, I will help you solve it."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Gu."

"By the way, there is still the matter of the Yue family. Don't be too impulsive in the future. The Yue family loves children more... Now that the old man is leaving, his family still sells us some face. After a few years, it will be hard to say..."

……

"Qingzi, why do I think you are so happy? Is it so good to have a TV station?"

After returning home, seeing that Zhang Qing was in a good mood, Zhou Yanyan asked with a smile.

Zhang Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Although the TV stations in mainland China have been reformed and the production and broadcasting are separated, there are too few things that can be filmed. Everything is stuck, and everything is controlled. It's not fun! There is a TV station on Hong Kong Island. It's different. , with Hong Kong Island as the origin, radiating [-] million Chinese people in Southeast Asia, this market supports us to shoot many big dramas that are not allowed to be filmed in the mainland. Of course, we can also shoot many dramas that are allowed to be broadcast in the mainland and sell them in. In this way, when the TV station grows bigger In the end, money is a trivial matter, and its influence is one of our strongest defense trump cards!"

Zhou Yanyan was puzzled and said, "Amulet? Is there anyone bullying us?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Now we rely on others to live comfortably. When we become bigger and stronger in the future, we will live by ourselves. Are you happy when no one bullies you?"

Zhou Yanyan giggled and said, "Of course I'm happy! However, I'm very happy now. Of course, I know that you are responsible for the burden. Qingzi, thank you."

Zhang Qing said angrily: "Come on! What did the old lady tell you today? Why did she look at me a little unkindly before leaving?"

Zhou Yanyan hehehe, shook her head and said, "It's nothing!"

But the eyes looking at Zhang Qing are as gentle as water.

Zhang Qing paused, and said with a smile: "I called Brother Fusheng and asked him and my sister-in-law to go to the aunt's grave tomorrow to burn more paper money, sweep the snow, and place more offerings. Brother Fusheng said that he would Take the tape recorder and play your tape a few times for Auntie to listen to."

Tomorrow is the anniversary of Zhou Yanyan's mother's death.

Zhou Yanyan was startled when she heard the words, and then said "Oh", and said a little angrily, "How did Sister Haiping go out..."

Zhang Qingwen said: "She quietly went to Eqi County to get these, but Wei Qiang... was her ex-husband bumped into her, and couldn't get away. Fortunately, a friend of the uncle in the county recognized him and helped send him back to Bayi. Village, so we can’t hide it anymore.”

Zhou Yanyan blamed herself: "It's all my fault..."

Zhang Qing said: "This matter, you should have told me from the very beginning... you still have nothing to do with me?"

Zhou Yanyan looked up at Zhang Qing, and after pursing her lips into a smile, she shook her head and said in silence, "Then shall I send some money to Brother Fusheng and Sister-in-law?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "No, sister-in-law must call and scold you if you beat money. It's not like you don't know, they are more forceful. Okay, now they treat you as a family, why are you being polite? I really miss you, remember A memorial tablet can be offered at home."

Zhou Yanyan wrinkled her nose at him, and said with a smile, "That's impossible!"

Zhang Qingqi said: "Why not?"

Zhou Yanyan chuckled: "Juanzi won't be able to do it in the future, let alone me?"

Zhang Qing suddenly couldn't speak hard words...

Seeing him sitting there without saying a word, Zhou Yanyan put her legs together, touched her toes, and said with a soft smile, "Qingzi, just treat me as a family member, I won't cause any trouble for you and Juanzi."

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "You will always be my family, and our family has always regarded you as a relative. But I think you can choose a better life..."

Zhou Yanyan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You teach others. I think what kind of life is the best, and I must understand better than you. I think I also understand better than many outsiders. It takes so much money. What's the use of fame and status? For me, talent is the most important thing. Don't worry about what you think is good, and arrange me!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Qing smiled dumbly, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You are already so old, you can decide for yourself."

Zhou Yanyan's eyes became much brighter when she heard the words, she stood up happily and said, "Then you rest for a while, I'll go down and eat for you!"

After all, he got up to leave, but he stopped when he passed by Zhang Qing, looked at Zhang Qing, leaned down, hugged him, and walked away proudly humming...
