Reborn Hong Kong Wild Age
Chapter 21 Jardine's Lookout Mansion
Chapter 21 Jardine's Lookout Mansion
"The house here is much better than the villas on Repulse Bay Road and Big Wave Bay Road. I will build one in the future."
Driving a new car that cost over [-] yuan, Gu Xiayang was heading towards the mansion at No. [-], Gaosmei Road, Jardine's Mountain.
In the southeast of Wanchai District, Hong Kong Island, south of Tai Hang, there is a mountain - Jardine's Mountain.
In the 19th century, Jardine's Lookout was named Jardine's Lookout because it set up a watchtower here to direct its merchant ships to and from Victoria Harbour.
Due to its superior scenery, Jardine's Lookout has always been one of the luxury residential areas in Hong Kong, and has the title of Eastern Mid-Levels.Although the price is slightly lower than the "mid-level mansion" in Victoria Peak, it is also one of the gathering places for the rich in Hong Kong.
In the 70s, Shen Yuanhong bought a detached house at No. 10468 Cosmee Road, Jardine's Lookout.The house covers a total area of about 1957 square feet. It is a three-story European-style independent house. It was built in 30 and is nearly 5809 years old. It has a usable area of 7000 square feet and a garden of more than [-] square feet.
"Master Gu, you are here."
"Hi, Young Master Gu."
"okay."
When Gu Xiayang arrived at No. [-] Gaoshimei Road, the servants greeted him warmly.Although he doesn't come here a few times a year, the old man loves him very much.
"Ayang, you are here."
"Cousin, long time no see."
Gu Xiayang's cousin Shen Muyun stepped forward and gave him a big hug, and the smiling and beautiful woman standing beside her was his cousin Zhang Keyi.
"Our great talent is back, please coax the old man later, he is in a bad mood these days."
Gu Xiayang asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with grandpa?"
"Let your brother tell you."
Shen Muyun coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "My dad met a dancer in Hong Romance, and he insisted on taking it home, which made Grandpa very angry."
"puff……"
No wonder my sister-in-law couldn't tell. Zhang Keyi came from a famous family and was the youngest daughter of Yuen Long's "Rice King" Zhang Tianfeng. When she married Shen Muyun, it was the most difficult time for the Shen family, and she was only one step away from bankruptcy.
So cousin Shen Muyun is extremely strong in front of his wife, it's unbelievable that his uncle is so ridiculous that he loses all face.
Although the Shen family is not considered the leading rich man, they are also well-known. If this makes a dancer progress, wouldn't it be laughed out of the mouth by the whole of Hong Kong.
"I'll persuade my uncle later, no, I'll let my mother tell him."
"Yes, yes, my father dare not not listen to my aunt's words!" This is what Shen Muyun wanted, and he nodded quickly: "Grandpa said, if he messes around again, he will get out of the house and never come back."
"Ayang, my dad also said that he helped your magazine, so you can help him speak well in front of grandpa."
"Don't worry, cousin."
Zhang Keyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Father is not contributing, he is just messing around. Ah Yang's magazine is so good, there is no need for those smoky publicity."
"Sister-in-law, what did you say?"
When Gu Xiayang heard the words, he felt a little numb all over, and asked: "Dongfang Daily and the like, the news that suddenly broke out about me, did my uncle buy it for me?"
"That's right, my dad said that labels like 'prodigal son' and 'prodigal son' will make you more topical, and sure enough, your magazine will sell well when it goes public."
"Stop saying a few words!" Seeing her husband's naive look, Zhang Keyi couldn't help but said, "Ayang's magazine sells well because of its good content, and the students like it."
"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, I'll turn around and thank you uncle." Gu Xiayang's brows swelled, never expecting that it was his own uncle who stabbed him in the back.
Titles like 'Prodigal Son' and 'Playboy' used to be exclusive to him, the prince of the Shen family in Wandu.
Speaking of prodigal, after Shen Hao took over Wandu Investment back then, he almost lost the entire Shen family, and not long after the housing prices in Hong Kong rebounded, he was afraid of falling again, so he hurriedly sold all the properties under the company. shot.
In the end, housing prices rose higher and higher, but all the properties in my hands were sold at a low price.
Up to now, the Shen family still owes several hundred million to HSBC, and Shen Hao is still singing and dancing outside. If the family doesn't have the old man and his cousin who is still doing well, I'm afraid it will be very unsatisfactory.
No wonder my uncle is not at home today, he probably has been hiding for several days, otherwise the old man would have broken his leg with a cane.
"Ayang, sit down first, I'll ask Grandpa to come down and prepare dinner."
"Ok."
Gu Xiayang nodded, took out the ticket of Zhang Guorong's concert and handed it to Zhang Keyi: "Sister-in-law, Zhang Guorong's first VIP ticket."
Zhang Keyi's eyes lit up, and she accepted it without seeing it: "This location is good, it's close enough to the front."
"Sister-in-law, you like Zhang Guorong so much, my cousin is not jealous?"
"Why are you jealous? He likes so many tvb actresses. I didn't say anything. They are all from idol artists. It's different. But Leslie's songs are really nice, and she's also very pretty."
"You did an exclusive interview with Leslie, how is this person in private?"
Looking at the sister-in-law who was so enthusiastic about mentioning Zhang Guorong, Gu Xiayang laughed and said: "Very good, very casual, not like a big star."
"But he is really a girl killer. I don't know how many students like him. Recently, many letters received by the magazine are actually expressing love."
"It's normal. Many of my friends also like him. I just don't know that his most memorable woman is so vicious."
"Ayang, if it weren't for your interview, we wouldn't know about it! Let me see this woman, and I can't help but give her a few slaps!"
Gu Xiayang is used to this. After all, because of Zhang Guorong's family temperament and his increasingly successful career, many women in Hong Kong admire him.
Ms. Yang seems to be 12 years old, so she has a secret heart and has taken a fancy to Zhang Guorong.
Therefore, many magazines in Hong Kong in the 80s circulated this story of "Yang's family has a girl who grows up, and her secret love for many years has become a fruit".
In fact, snatching a son-in-law is nonsense, but there is definitely value and appreciation.
It is not uncommon for wealthy ladies to fall in love with male celebrities.However, few parents are so happy to see the success.
This is certainly because Zhang Guorong himself is very good, but it may also be because he is not a star from [grassroots].
Zhang Guoyi's own family background is also very superior.
The members of the family straddle the business, political, and educational circles, and they are all outstanding leaders.
For these gossips, Gu Xiayang, who has always been keen on the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, can be said to be very familiar. Later, Zhang Guoyi even said "Both are rich and noble, Zhang does not dare to climb high"... Then he rolled up his belongings and flew to Vancouver... ...(just quit the music scene at that time), and since then, I have lived a [fairy life] of beating dogs to feed deer, drinking alcohol and fattening up...
On the other hand, the daughters of He Yang's family didn't have much reaction.It's time to get married, it's time to be rich and rich.At most, it would be like Ms. He, who met at a reception in the future, asked everyone to turn off the lights, and invited Lao Zhang to dance to relive the dances of the past and so on.
But looking at his own sister-in-law, Gu Xiayang knows that there is no difference between a wealthy lady and an ordinary mistress. They all say that Hong Kong mistresses have three major hobbies, making soup, watching dramas, and gossip.
……
"Huh? You want to make a movie??"
At the dinner table, when Gu Xiayang proposed "cool! When Shen Muyun borrowed 300 million from the old man as collateral for the magazine, Shen Muyun was full of surprise.
"You can barely be regarded as a professional counterpart in making magazines. Do you know the ins and outs of making movies?"
The old man didn't speak, but looked at his grandson and grandson with a smile on his face.His offspring are not up to expectations, but the cubs born are all in line with his wishes.
Shen Muyun is now gradually taking over Mandu Garment, extremely prudent.Gu Xiayang has just graduated from university, and he has been very successful in founding a magazine. He has a lot of face when he goes out to drink tea with his old friends.
"I have done research, and I will find professional people to make a movie. I have registered the company and finalized the script."
This year's Hong Kong movies continued to be dominated by Fu Xing films and Cheng Long's world. A series of films starring Cheng Long helped Golden Harvest regain the throne of the film kingdom.
This year's New Art City did not have the signature product "Best Partner" series, but instead entertained the audience with a lot of sketches, without much action, which seemed a bit sad.
On the contrary, Xinzha film company "Debao" has its own brand "Shuangxiangpao" series, and even created a precedent for kung fu movies. Debao poured down a tonic.
"Grandpa, thanks to the development of New Art City last year, the Golden Princess Cinema Line's box office revenue was about 14561 million Hong Kong dollars, overwhelming the Golden Harvest Line's 10302 million Hong Kong dollars and becoming the champion."
"Looking at New Arts City this year, there is no film that exceeds 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. So far, only one film has exceeded 800 million Hong Kong dollars, and the others are between [-] and [-] million. However, the overall box office revenue of Hong Kong movies is soaring, which shows that the film industry is growing. Going higher, and so is the emergence of Debao Films!"
……
Looking at the grandson who talked eloquently, Shen Yuanhong appreciated it very much.He is not afraid that his younger generation will fail in business, but he is afraid that he will invest blindly without planning.
"Xiaoyang, you have really grown up. I have known about your magazine. With its revenue, 300w is not a problem at all. Grandpa believes in your ability, and you don't want you to use the magazine as a mortgage. The 300w will be your grandfather." I will lend it to you privately, when you have money, just give it to me."
"Thank you grandpa, I will return it to you as soon as possible."
Zhang Keyi said with a smile: "Ah Yang, we are all one family, you are too out of touch. If it is not enough, my sister-in-law can also lend you some money."
"Haha, thank you sister-in-law, I'm not seeing outsiders, but mainly to put pressure on myself." Gu Xiayang said so, but after all, he is not surnamed Shen, so there is no need to cause disharmony for petty gains.
Mr. Shen is a fine person, and he could tell his grandson's thoughts at a glance. He didn't say anything more about it, but instead asked, "How is your mother?"
"pretty good."
"Her clothing store, I heard the business has been lukewarm. A dead girl is not a business material. It's not bad if it doesn't lose money."
The old man is still very concerned about his rebellious daughter.It's just to save face, and I can't speak some words.
Gu Xiayang didn't know where, and said with a smile: "My mother also misses grandpa very much. She told me to come and see the house when I have nothing to do. She is thin-skinned. I will definitely take her home next time."
"it is good!"
Shen Yuanhong was extremely happy when he heard this.
Shen Muyun next to him secretly gave Gu Xiayang a thumbs up. The old man hadn't laughed so much for several days.
