Reborn Hong Kong Wild Age

Chapter 50 Sha Tin Racecourse
"New Art City, the Spring Festival file must be "The Best Partner" and then shoot the sequel. It is estimated that it will start in the next few days. Christmas, the first recommendation is Huang Baiming's "Happy Paradise", which may be related to his "Happy Ghost" Let's find a way!"

Pan Disheng was full of smiles. This year's Debao has already achieved impressive results, not counting Christmas and Spring Festival.

"Owl and Dumbo" has 2000 million, "Three Treasures" has more than 1700 million, and "If There Is Love" has more than 2000 million, 10 of the top 3 box office rankings in this city.

As for the Christmas schedule, Cen Jianxun himself starred in "Christmas Adventure" with Lin Zixiang and Zhang Manyu, as well as Gu Xiayang's "Wealth and Fortune". Both films are small investments and family fun. Pan Disheng is not optimistic about them.

As for the Spring Festival, the box office rankings for next year are calculated, and Pan Disheng hopes that "A Match Made in Heaven" will be as amazing as "If There Is Love in Heaven".

"Speaking of which we failed badly at the box office last month, if "A Match Made in Heaven" succeeds, you can open a few more movies next year, and I will invest in them, and the schedule is not a problem."

Pan Disheng was both happy and distressed. Debao was originally a rising star. Pan Disheng used the film and entertainment circles to promote his retail brand very successfully, but he also wanted to compete with the other two as a theater chain.

Gu Xiayang smiled and said: "Next year, Tianxiayi will definitely open a few more dramas. I am very happy to cooperate with Brother Sheng."

"Last month, it was normal for you to lose. After all, it was Sanmao and Cheng Long who joined forces!"

In fact, Pan Disheng wasn't the only one who felt uncomfortable last month, New Art City can be said to be heartbroken!

Several films of the two companies were smashed by Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long's "Dragon's Heart".

Right now, Cheng Long and senior brother Hong Jinbao are in full swing, and all the kung fu comedies they star in are hits.

"Dragon's Heart" is the two brothers who are full of confidence, and inevitably intend to transform and try literary and artistic production.

Just at this time, Hong Jinbao discovered that "Hit the Wrong Car", a family tragedy about the family relationship between a dumb father and his adopted daughter produced by "New Art City", was popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and was well received.

So I was inspired to start filming the drama "Dragon's Heart", which tells the story of a mentally handicapped brother and a policeman's brother. They also hired Su Rui, who became famous behind the scenes of "Hitchhiking", to sing the theme song. As a result, after the film was released, , the box office received 2000 million, which can be regarded as half of their wish fulfilled.

However, the two brothers transformed into literary and artistic works, and they both smashed Xinyicheng and Debao, which led to being ridiculed by the media.

"Hey! Christmas is probably dominated by the big-nosed dragon again."

Gu Xiayang smiled, and didn't say that "Richness and Nobility" will be a big dark horse. This kind of thing is a real chapter at the box office!
Movies like "Wealthy Man" are strong in the local market. If you get it in the foreign market, it should not be half as popular as "Police Story".

"Brother Sheng, you play movies to promote your company, so there's no need to sigh like this!"

Hearing what Gu Xiayang said, Pan Disheng smiled and said, "I always want to taste the sweetness of being at the top of the list."

"A few days ago, the whole Hong Kong was on the news about you. You can sell so much banknotes by selling a card. This is you."

Pan Disheng gave Gu Xiayang a thumbs-up, and said with a smile: "That Guan Zhilin is pretty good. I heard from Sanmao that the big-nosed dragon has a lot of thoughts about her. It's good for you to buy her directly."

"It's impossible for me to spend 1000 million to support actors for Jiahe!"

Gu Xiayang didn't answer the question, but instead asked: "I plan to open a clothing store, brother Sheng can give me some pointers."

"……you copy me?"

Pan Disheng looked at Gu Xiayang, laughed loudly and said, "Famous brands, you can't go wrong with selling famous brands. Then it's advertising, spending money to let everyone know!"

"Hahahaha, famous brands are fine, but it is necessary to spend money to let everyone know."

Others would just think that Pan Disheng was fooling around, but Gu Xiayang knew that this guy really did it.

In 1980, Pan Disheng asked his father to borrow 100 million US dollars to open a Dickson watch and jewelry store in Central Landmark, the most advanced shopping mall in Hong Kong, and began his legendary story of starting a business with famous brands and boutiques.

As for Pan Disheng's brand-name and high-quality goods route, at the beginning, many Hong Kong merchants had the idea of ​​waiting to see the joke of this young man.

Because in this period, only a small number of consumers know how to enjoy brand-name products.

However, Pan Disheng believes that Hong Kong is beginning to develop, and this is the time to cultivate and establish the concept of consumers enjoying brand-name products.

When Hong Kong entered the first Christmas in the 80s, Pan Disheng spent a lot of money to buy eight full pages in the old Hong Kong English newspaper "South China Morning Post".

The first five pages are used to congratulate the citizens of Hong Kong on a Merry Christmas, while the last three pages publish advertisements for the brand-name products they sell.

After the advertisement was published, it attracted the attention of many professionals in Hong Kong; Disheng became famous in one fell swoop.

Later, Pan Disheng started to play a tour of famous brand clothing, and he won the franchise rights of big names such as CHARLES JOURDAN, POLO/RALPHLAUREN, GUYLAROCHE one by one.

Then, seeing Shaw Brothers reducing production, playing movies, taking theater chains, placing their own product advertisements, and letting their artists endorse, killing two birds with one stone, this year they simply bought a company and went public through a backdoor.

Not to mention self-made, but I think he is a very intelligent rich man.

"You don't open a designer clothing store, what do you open?"

"Trendy brand!"

Gu Xiayang smiled and said: "Who can play famous brands better than you, Brother Sheng. I just play trendy brands and sell things that young people like."

"Hey, your weekly magazine is very valuable and has a great influence among young people, and it's not wrong to sell trendy clothes."

Pan Disheng nodded, and said, "But it's better to be a famous brand! Ayang, I'm not talking about you. You are young and your car is so broken. I heard that you still rent it in Taikoo City. You don't have the spirit of a young man!"

"I bought two more Rolls-Royces a few days ago, and I feel comfortable looking at them."

Pan Disheng's enthusiasm for famous brands comes from the heart, and this is also his way of success.

Pan Disheng still has a good impression of Gu Xiayang. Everyone is from a wealthy family, and they are all successful entrepreneurs. Now they are also considered partners and friends.

Debao now desperately needs film sources to fill the theaters, especially high-end film sources. Pan Disheng is interested in Gu Xiayang's Tianxiayi, so he naturally intends to win over him.

Looking at the Rolex in his hand, Pan Disheng said, "Come on, let's go to Sha Tin, we're about to drive, I'll take you to the VIP."

Pan Disheng's career went smoothly, and he became a member of the Jockey Club again, enjoying VIP treatment, and was extremely proud.

The Jockey Club and the Golf Club have always been the most prestigious clubs in Hong Kong. The membership of the Jockey Club is highly respected. Members applying for membership must be recommended by selection members. The Jockey Club has a total of 200 selection members, and the number of members recommended each year is limited.

If you want to become a member of the Jockey Club, you need to be recommended by a selection member, seconded by a selection member, and then agreed by three members before you are eligible to apply.

After the application is submitted, the Jockey Club will comprehensively consider the quality and conditions of the applicant in all aspects, and even need to conduct interviews to strictly control the quality of members through multiple checkpoints.

In Hong Kong, in addition to luxury yachts and private jets, the status of the elite group must be added: membership of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

It can be seen that becoming a member of the Jockey Club is also very precious to those real pyramid people.

Possessing a certain amount of assets is only one of the conditions. It does not mean that you can become a member if you have money. Personal background, financial status, and clean and clean resumes are extremely broad in the scope of assessment.

Members of the Jockey Club are all celebrities, elite gentlemen, socialites, etc., such as justices, barristers, directors of listed companies and later the Chief Executive of the Special Administrative Region, all of them are members of the Jockey Club.

Including the chairman and vice-chairman, the board of directors of the Jockey Club has a total of [-] seats. The chairman of the board of directors this year is the executive chairman of HSBC Bank, Baron Shen Bi, the tycoon of HSBC.

The daily conference affairs are managed and executed by professional administrative personnel headed by the chief executive officer under it. There are also 8 administrative offices under it, which are responsible for the implementation of planning and the daily operation of conference affairs.

On weekends, there will be an afternoon race at the Sha Tin Racecourse. The Sha Tin Racecourse that Pan Disheng brought Gu Xiayang to has just completed expansion and can accommodate 8 people watching the horses at the same time.

"It's really a horse betting in Hong Kong!"

Only by experiencing it personally will you know how precious a Jockey Club member is.

The racecourse is divided into the public entrance and the member entrance from the entrance. The facilities, decoration and buffet dishes inside are very different.Even if you enter from the member entrance, depending on the level of the member, the floor and the location of the box are also different. Even the parking lot has special regulations, and the parking space for selected members will be closer to the clubhouse.

Before the return of 97, you were not allowed to enter the racecourse without wearing a suit and tie.

At that time, there was a saying in Hong Kong that it was not only the Governor of Hong Kong who ruled Hong Kong, but the Jockey Club, Jardine Matheson, HSBC Bank and the Governor of Hong Kong, and they were ranked in order.

On every horse betting day in Hong Kong, at least 100 million people are willing to spend 50 hours on horse betting in one night. During this special period, due to fewer people and cars going out, traffic accidents and other criminal cases are significantly reduced .

There are two stands at Sha Tin Racecourse, one is for the general public and the other is for members. In the Sha Tin clubhouse, only members can bring friends in.

There are Baijun Hall, Triumph Hall, Silver Belt Cafe and Jiao Pavilion in the clubhouse to provide Chinese and Western food, and there are various service centers such as bowling, table tennis, swimming pool, fitness center, sauna, etc., as well as children's playrooms. shop.

"Famous brand king, which horse to buy today?"

"A parachutist!"

"He Dazhuang, you were lucky last week, lend me some luck."

In Baijun Hall, Pan Disheng has just become a member, and he must watch horses almost every weekend afternoon, and he is also an old socializer.

An old man saw Gu Xiayang next to Pan Disheng, and said with a smile: "You are Gu Xiayang, right? You are popular, and my granddaughter who is in elementary school buys your weekly magazine regularly. We don't know if the Education Department received your complaint letter and complaint number." How much is it?"

"This is Mr. Liu Dong, Assistant Director of the Education Department." Pan Disheng reminded me.

Each department of the Education Department has an assistant director. Gu Xiayang knew it well, and shook hands: "Haha, I really caused trouble to you, Director Liu."
